Many years back, Mute had an unexpected encounter in an ancient tomb, which was once the site of a Buddhist sect, the Invincible Diamond Sect. With his perseverance and determination, the ancient site acknowledged Mute, allowing him to return with the precious treasures of the Invincible Diamond Sect that survived the clan's fall. Thus, Mute was able to set up Apex Temple and revive Buddhism.329Please respect copyright.PENANA3TZ4exFqTm
The public believed that the Universe Divine Style and the Invincible Diamond Body were the styles that Mute acquired when in reality, he received the complete set of the Diamond Sect's legacy, which most importantly consisted of another Buddhist treasure, the Vajracchedika Prajnaparamita Sutra, also known as the Diamond Sutra.329Please respect copyright.PENANAIAFTYt07KO
The Flower Garland Sutra expounded upon the profound nature of Buddha. It was highly revered amongst the general population who believed that understanding the sutra thoroughly would allow them to achieve Buddhahood, and simple recitation would invoke the protection of the Eight Dharmapalas.
On the other hand, the Diamond Sutra considered emptiness as the right path and the source of all phenomena, also known as the origin of everything; the Origin of True Emptiness.329Please respect copyright.PENANAyVpbw3aHpB
However, Mute was well aware that Diamond Sutra alone was insufficient as the sutra was advocated and promoted according to Buddhism's worldview.329Please respect copyright.PENANAfyhJc2xSiv
To revive Buddhism successfully, the first step would be to convince today's world that the Diamond Sutra made sense, which was almost impossible on its own. Without solid evidence, everything would only be viewed as empty talk.329Please respect copyright.PENANArsUZufhWma
However, the Flower Garland Sutra was the missing piece to this puzzle of restoring Buddhism!
This explained why Mute was caught off guard and was so ecstatic at the gift Chui Yim presented.

He looked at Chui Yim with a complicated and hesitant look. At last, he shook his head. “Little Benefactor, this gift is too precious for this monk to accept, but this monk must accept it, as it is extremely significant towards Buddhism.”329Please respect copyright.PENANAZgO8gt68oi
“It's extremely important to you monks, but it's just a long, boring sutra to me. So, there's no need to feel too apologetic or thankful and take it as a thank you gift from me for the secret style you gifted me four years ago.”329Please respect copyright.PENANAEFYKIGh1bQ
“No, this gift is way more valuable than the Invincible Diamond Body. It’s worth even more than this monk's life!” Mute shook his head.329Please respect copyright.PENANAW3De0UbJ7R
Mute flipped his hands, placing his index and middle fingers together to reach for Chui Yim's glabella slowly.329Please respect copyright.PENANAxwaCGIAxLG
Stunned, Chui Yim subconsciously dodged but was locked to the spot by a powerful aura that made him unable to move. He watched Mute move slowly, but it was lightning speed in reality.
Chui Yim was greatly shocked. He heard rumours that Mute's physical capability was invincible amongst those of his state – the four-chambered state. Now, experiencing Mute's lighting speed and his terrifying energliph, Chui Yim knew that those weren't rumours, but facts.329Please respect copyright.PENANAdJT6W9HVu2
Memories were inserted into Chui Yim’s mind the moment Mute's finger touched his glabella.329Please respect copyright.PENANAzRB1kPf4nk
“Please forgive me for my actions, Benefactor. Words are insufficient to express the essence of the gold body state of the Invincible Diamond Body, so this monk can only pass it to you through this method.” Mute’s voice rang out once again. Even though it was ventriloquism, it sounded choppy. Chui Yim could tell that Mute was feeling tired.329Please respect copyright.PENANA8lcOgDaxBM
“Cultivators only have one chance to pass the Invincible Diamond Body style to another cultivator. We call this passing the torch, in other words, passing down the legacy to another.”329Please respect copyright.PENANAWiQGTxBBTj
“Does this mean that there's nobody else in your sect who can cultivate this style?” Chui Yim's expression changed.329Please respect copyright.PENANATEP9Q4OOqV
Knowing what was going on in Chui Yim's mind, Mute smiled gently. “There's no need to feel bad about it, Benefactor Chui. The Flower Garland Sutra is worth more than this style, and it's even worth the lives of all the monks of Apex Temple.329Please respect copyright.PENANAmvriT0BMeB
“Benefactor Chui, you have gained an everlasting friendship from Apex Temple, and this promise stays valid until the day this monk passes on. Apex Temple will do its best to support Benefactor Chui for any event.329Please respect copyright.PENANA09EbzV2a0o
“This monk is getting tired but is excited to read the sutra. This monk will invite Benefactor another day for tea.” He looked at Chui Yim tiredly.329Please respect copyright.PENANArGl4PP57Cc
Chui Yim was pleasantly surprised by the situation. He did not expect this trip to return the favour would earn the entire Invincible Diamond Body style. He returned a smile to Mute. “You make it sound like I love to come here.”

Chui Yim turned to leave the temple as the sound of the wooden fish echoed throughout the place once again.329Please respect copyright.PENANAaeVrgp8fJm
However, two people stopped in front of Chui Yim before he could get far away from the place. This shocked Chui Yim as both of them were similarly bald, and one of them was a familiar face that Chui Yim recognised easily. He shook everyone in his generation with his Unbreakable Wisdom King.329Please respect copyright.PENANAmqJPJlCGRR
What roused Chui Yim’s curiosity was why Yuen Yau had to stand behind another teen given his status?

329Please respect copyright.PENANA1vou1YTNQ7
329Please respect copyright.PENANAUnfLLWYGol
329Please respect copyright.PENANAfVIeLLS4VQ
The teen in front of Yuen Yau had thick eyebrows and was similarly bald. He was considered handsome, but he was currently staring at Chui Yim very coldly, a glare that Chui Yim had never seen from any Apex Temple monk.329Please respect copyright.PENANAFoUeVmHZtl
“Why not just let it go, Senior Brother?” Yuen Yau said with hesitation.329Please respect copyright.PENANAadzOTMTmxi
“No,” the teenager said with determination. “You know what the Invincible Diamond Body style is to our sect. It’s as good as a secret style, so how can we let an outsider leave with it as he wishes?”329Please respect copyright.PENANA71Hnh5u9Jd
“But it’s Master’s decision…” Yuen Yau replied softly.329Please respect copyright.PENANAI7ZNdYuuRg
“Hah!” The teen sneered. “Master is lacking in social skills because of the style he cultivates, and nobody else saw the legendary Flower Garland Sutra. Who knows if this man is here to con our master?”329Please respect copyright.PENANASi0EclOT86
Yuen Yau did not reply, or rather, he did not dare reply.329Please respect copyright.PENANAfc7mugjm66
“Is there a problem here?” Chui Yim looked at the both of them blocking his way so obviously with malicious intent. Since he had just gotten a secret style from the sect, Chui Yim did not want to be mean or barge over with violence like he would normally do.
“I am Yuen Tin, Yuen Yau’s senior brother,” the teen in front of Yuen Yau said coldly, and Chui Yim was shocked to know that Mute had another disciple.
329Please respect copyright.PENANAttCA3fX2lq
329Please respect copyright.PENANAcqIKcOSqm9
Yuen Tin was not a well-known cultivator, and he was not even on the Blue Skies Rank.329Please respect copyright.PENANANbywMg5PxQ
Not because he was incapable, but because he never showed himself to the world. During the inter-school exchange, he was in seclusion and ready to break through, thus it was Yuen Yau who led the institution in his place.329Please respect copyright.PENANA16KRJqK3lr
Thus, Yuen Tin remained unknown even after four years. Only the disciples of their institution knew that he was the best of their generation, and to them, he was most likely the next leader of their institution.329Please respect copyright.PENANAGFuOyKjf5b
Unlike Yuen Yau, Yuen Tin was a glipher, thus Mute coached him the most, and he even broke through to the two-chambered state four years ago!
