Passing on the Light of Buddha's Wisdom: Enchanting Wu Song and Developing an Emergency Headband! (Continued)

"How could I possibly manage that?!"

Sima Chengzhen gave a bitter smile and spread open the hand that was still trembling faintly.

"The branch of the Great Dao of Sitting in Forgetfulness that This Daoist cultivates excels at dispelling disasters, dissolving tribulations, and breaking spells, yet it falls short in direct slaughter and battle.

"Moreover, This Daoist is currently cultivating the realm of 'Heavenly Seclusion'—a path of complete withdrawal from the world.

"My body and spirit have mostly merged with the Grand Void qi of this Jade Firmament Grotto-Heaven.

"To save the three of you just now, that single coming and going may have looked effortless, but in truth, it has already shaken my Dao foundation, damaged my roots, and stained me with a thread of karma."

He looked at that hand and mocked himself.

"Look at these old bones of This Daoist. One move, and they tremble for half the day.

"Keeping you safe and saving you in an emergency—I can still bear that.

"But if you want This Daoist to truly trade blades and fight that evil god to the death...

"This Daoist is truly powerless to help.

"That will take another kind of person~"

"Another kind of person?" Lei Zhenzi's heart stirred.

As Yun Zhongzi's disciple, he was especially adept at catching what lay beneath the words.

"Please enlighten us, Senior. What sort of person can break such a deadlock?"

"Someone who enters the world, naturally."

Sima Chengzhen's tone suddenly rose with fervor.

"The path of entering the world fears no karma.

"On the contrary, it must touch the mortal world as deeply as possible and gather the hearts of men.

"This Daoist has evaded tribulations for hundreds of years by 'retreating.'

"This ruthless work of 'action' ought to be done by those who dare to 'advance.'"
