Having received the White Jade Ruyi Scepter, Lin Mu felt the weight of its authority.
He had returned to his room after obtaining it and spent hours pondering over its implications.
'To think they would give me something like this…' Lin Mu thought to himself.
Monk Hushu had explained more to him about the scepter. Even the old monk was surprised by the gift, having believed the artifact had been lost long ago. Much to his astonishment, the Abbot had kept it hidden all this time—waiting for a rightful new owner.
One must know that even the Abbot himself was unable to truly wield the White Jade Ruyi Scepter. He had merely served as its keeper.
Monk Hushu had gone on to explain that many of the great Buddhist powers across the realms possessed such divine symbols of authority.
There was, for example, the famous Green Jade Ruyi Scepter, which belonged to the legendary Shaolin Temple—one of the most ancient and powerful Buddhist sects in existence.
