Ba Yi felt no sensation at all, but instead, there was joy at finally having entered the path of cultivation. He bowed deeply before Aaron, "Does Master Maitreya have any further instructions? I will certainly do it for you!"
"Are there any high monks nearby starting an altar to preach?"
Aaron inquired.
This identity as Maitreya was not a registered monk at any of the Esoteric Sect temples, which was troublesome!
Due to the strict hierarchy of tantra, all monks must be empowered by a 'Master' with Dharma Wine in a Gabala Bowl when they enter the order!
So, Maitreya was still an unregistered resident.
However, this was not at all important.
If all monks needed to be empowered by the previous generation, then how did the first group of monks come about?
They naturally received direct empowerment from the Esoteric Gods themselves!
Therefore, outside the strict temple system, there was actually another path!
