Buddhism was worshipped in Dali, and successive emperors abdicated as monks. It was not uncommon for them to go to Tianlong Temple to meditate. Duan Zhengming's decision was not too surprising.
However, generally speaking, the reigning emperor would shave his head and become a monk when he was old and weak. Now that Duan Zhengming was in his prime, Dali was prosperous and stable under his rule. It was really helpless to abdicate early.
Benyin and the other four monks looked dejected. Although they didn't want Duan Zhengming to abdicate and become a monk because of this, they had no choice but to do so for the sake of Dali's Duan family's hundreds of years of reputation.
In the original novel, Duan Zhengming had indeed passed the throne to the younger brother of the Emperor, Duan Zhengchun, because of Jiu Mozhi's arrival. He had become a monk and studied the Six Pulses Divine Sword with the four monks and Master Ku Rong.
"My son, I will hand Dali over to you today. I only hope that you can rule Dali even more powerfully!”Duan Zhengming's expression was solemn at first, then he revealed a loving expression and continued,"Zhen believes that you will definitely be able to take on this great responsibility and do it better than Imperial Father!”
Master Ku Rong and the monks followed Duan Zhengming's gaze and looked at Renhuang Duan.
Not only was the Crown Prince talented in martial arts, but he was also steady and decisive. Everyone had high hopes for him.
" I don't want to be emperor now!" Duan Renhuang shook his head.”
This reaction was completely out of everyone's expectations, causing Duan Zhengming and the others to be greatly shocked.
Duan Zhengming only reacted after a long time and asked,""Son, why are you unwilling to accept the throne?”
The divine monks were also surprised.
Human Emperor Duan had yet to witness the wonders of this world. He didn't want to ascend the throne so early and be trapped in the palace.
He didn't explain too much and continued to say unhurriedly,"Father, if you start to refine the Six Meridians Divine Sword with a few masters now, can you really master it in ten days? Can you resist Jiu Mozhi?”
"This…"
Duan Zhengming was at a loss for words. He looked at Master Ku Rong and the four monks of Ben Yin. None of them had a determined look on their faces. They looked at each other in silence.
This was something that no one was confident about, and Jiu Mozhi was definitely not someone to be trifled with if he dared to challenge him.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Duan Renhuang continued,""Master Ku Rong, father, I want to go into seclusion to study the [Six Pulses Divine Sword]. I will fight Jiu Mozhi in ten days!”
If his words didn't shock everyone, he would die!
Not only did Duan Zhengming not expect this, but Master Ku Rong was also shocked. He stood up and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Duan Renhuang.
"Your Highness, this is not a game. Have you thought it through?”
Looking at Master Ku Rong's withered face, Duan Renhuang nodded calmly." Of course, it's not child's play. After my breakthrough, my Yi Yang Finger has reached the Complete First Grade. Now, I can practice Six Pulses Divine Sword!"”
Master Ku Rong stared at Duan Renhuang and didn't speak for a long time.
Benyin and the other four monks were in disbelief.
It had only been ten days since the arrival of the Tubo Imperial Tutor. The Crown Prince wanted to use these ten days to practice the incomparably obscure Six Pulses Divine Sword?
How, how was this possible?
No matter how talented the Crown Prince was, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything in just ten days!
The Six Pulses Divine Sword was the ultimate technique of the Dali Duan Clan, and it was far superior to the Shaolin ultimate techniques that they had exchanged!
They had never doubted Duan Renhuang's talent. Given time, he would definitely be able to master the Six Pulses Divine Sword. But now, it was impossible for him to master the Six Pulses Divine Sword in ten days and use it to defeat Jiu Mozhi, a famous expert who had been in the Connate Realm for a long time.
Master Ku Rong had studied it for many years, but he had only mastered one of the Shaoshang Swords in the Six Pulses Divine Sword. It was obvious how profound it was.
However, when they saw the high-spirited and confident look on Duan Renhuang's face and thought of his astounding talent in martial arts, they instinctively believed him.
It's really our Duan family's Saint Child!
Master Ku Rong stared at Duan Renhuang and didn't speak for a long time.
Duan Zhengming and the four monks looked at Master Ku Rong and decided to let him decide.
"Crown Prince, how confident are you?”Master Ku Rong asked.
"100%!" Duan Renhuang's tone was firm.
Everyone gasped. Even though Duan Zhengming trusted Human Emperor Duan instinctively, he still couldn't believe it and wondered if he had heard wrongly.
"Good!"
Master Ku Rong said," Just as Your Highness has said, Your Highness will enter seclusion to study the Six Pulses Divine Sword from today onwards.”
No one expected Master Ku Rong to agree to such a crazy and risky idea!
The abbot's expression changed and he was about to dissuade him." Uncle-Master, this…"
Master Ku Rong waved his hand." It's fine. I trust the Crown Prince."”
After saying that, he didn't say anything else.
Master Ku Rong's clear statement startled Duan Zhengming, who was still in shock.
Duan Zhengming looked at Renhuang Duan and the letter in Ben Yin's hand. He thought about Jiu Mozhi's aggressive words and took a deep breath.
His eyes regained clarity and he made up his mind.
Although his son spoke and acted in an extremely domineering manner, he was never lying. Every time, he would do something that exceeded everyone's expectations. It was better than what they had expected.
"Alright, since my son is so confident, then let's settle it!”In the end, Duan Zhengming decided to believe in Human Emperor Duan. After bringing them miracles one after another, he didn't want to disappoint them.
Seeing this, Benyin wanted to say something but stopped, shaking his head and not saying anything more.
As far as he was concerned, Duan Zhengming's suggestion from the start was undoubtedly more reliable.
But it's no use talking about it now.
Unlike Benyin, who was an abbot, Benguan, Benshen, and Benxiang didn't have many chores to do in Heavenly Dragon Temple. They spent more time on practicing martial arts, so they had a deeper understanding of Human Emperor Duan's talent.
Now that the matter had been settled, they no longer had to worry about gains and losses. Thinking about it carefully, they suddenly felt that what the Crown Prince said was not impossible.
Moreover, even if it was the method that Duan Zhengming had mentioned, how could it be a foolproof plan?
Since the outcome was uncertain, why not trust the Crown Prince once?
Human Emperor Duan took a deep breath and said seriously," This time, Human Emperor will not let you down!”
"In that case…" Master Ku Rong said calmly," Benyin, prepare a quiet room for the Crown Prince to study the Six Pulses Divine Sword. Ten days later, we will fight the Tubo Nation Master, Jiu Mozhi!”
