The Method of Breaking Through Mind-Wishing Buddha's Scheme
This is absolutely unusual!
While the free-spirited Tao Yaoyao might be bewitched by evil spirits, it's highly unlikely that Hua Jing, First Seat would be.
Who is the Hua Jing, First Seat?
That's one of the three highest-ranking people in the Evil Warding Department of the Central Yuan Continent! They're even among the very pinnacle of the entire Five Continents!
With silver Purple Robe, purple robes, and white eyes, she is said to be able to see through all illusions! She is the nemesis of all evil spirits Dream Master Type!
She has always taken it upon herself to supervise whether high-ranking cultivators have been corrupted by evil, and she has been fighting on the front lines against evil spirits.
How could even she become a servant of an evil spirit?
But what is impossible in this world?
You Su suddenly thought of Little Dog Qianhua...
Who would have thought that the arrogant and aloof Qianhua Venerable was actually a member of an evil spirit's retinue?
After he fed her his heart's blood, Qianhua Venerable became tainted with Evil Qi. He could now see the incomparably beautiful and arrogant woman, just as he could see the mist-shrouded Hua Jing, First Seat at this moment...
But Qianhua Venerable's 'fall' was because he was Allah. Could it be that this Mind-Wishing Buddha could be compared to Allah?
"Now that you have seen the true Buddha, why not worship him?"
The powerful sound, like that of a great bell, rang out once again.
You Su was startled. The Glazed Great Buddha statue appeared exceptionally solemn in the light, and its enormous size brought an endless sense of oppression.
"By worshipping the Buddha of my heart, all worldly desires will be fulfilled."
The sound of Glazed Great Buddha, and two lotus leaves grew rapidly from the pond, floating to the two people in front of them.
You Su's legs trembled, and she almost knelt down, but a stubbornness in her heart resisted the urge to kneel.
He could kneel before his master and Mistress, but he wouldn't kneel before anything else.
This startled him awake, leaving him bewildered as to how he had ended up there.
In this transition from spring to summer, beads of cold sweat had already formed on his back.
When did I become so reckless?
Tonight I only planned to take a casual look around, and then follow up with the arrangements after meeting Hua Jing, First Seat tomorrow...
But why did he still dare to bring Sister Yiyi into the valley? Facing a malevolent spirit, was he really confident he could defeat it alone?
You Su felt that from the moment he began observing the White Bird Evil Spirit swirling in the sky, it was as if something had lured him here...
With a 'thud,' Zi Yiyi was already kneeling firmly on the ground.
"Sister Yiyi, you can't worship!"
You Su quickly reminded him that he was the true God, and even if he worshipped Evil Demon, he would not become a follower of the Evil Demon, but Zi Yiyi was different!
Zi Yiyi looked confused, her gaze shifting between Hua Jing, First Seat, You Su, and the Glazed Great Buddha.
"Pray, Mind-Wishing Buddha is the savior of the world, and only by following Him can we live a good life."
Zi Yiyi was momentarily stunned. Due to the fog, she couldn't see whether Hua Jing, First Seat had spoken, but she could tell that it was Hua Jing, First Seat's voice!
Finally, her lips moved as if she were about to recite the sutra.
Upon seeing this You Su was extremely anxious and regretted why he had insisted on chasing the bird, which had caused Zi Yiyi to also fall into confusion.
Seeing that Zi Yiyi was no longer listening to him, he rushed over and covered Zi Yiyi mouth, but this still couldn't stop Zi Yiyi from making a sound. The girl's delicate lips rubbed against You Su's palm as she murmured:
"I bow in reverence and take refuge in the Mind-Wishing Buddha, prostrating myself before seven hundred million Buddhas. I now praise the Mind-Wishing Buddha, and pray for your compassionate protection."
"It seems the one with true wisdom isn't you, but her."
The Glazed Great Buddha looked at You Su, its eyes devoid of sorrow or joy.
"Since you have worshipped me Mind-Wishing Buddha, I will bestow upon you great wisdom. Whatever you desire will be fulfilled, like a wish-fulfilling jewel, granting you everything you desire."
"Thank you Mind-Wishing Buddha."
Zi Yiyi prostrated herself on the ground, sincerely expressing her gratitude, like a puppet.
She then boarded a sturdy lotus leaf, and the followers all made Buddhist gestures to welcome the newcomer.
You Su was extremely anxious and quickly drew his sword. The Ink Pine Sword rang out clearly in the darkness.
"What you do!"
Some followers, their brows furrowed in anger, stood up on the lotus leaves and roared at You Su.
How could You Su stand by and watch Zi Yiyi being carried towards the Buddha statue by the lotus leaf? After running away, she leaped high into the air, as if to cut off the roots of the lotus leaf.
The sword drew a perfect arc in the air. You Su was already very familiar with this kind of slashing. The power contained in the Ink Pine Sword was enough to pierce through gold and split rocks!
But when the sword struck the root, the lotus stem remained completely unharmed.
"Insolence!" the Glazed Great Buddha roared.
"Tree, come!"
Mind-Wishing Buddha commanded, the tall, straight tree bent over, shaking off countless fallen leaves. Observing its movements, it seemed it was trying to surround You Su.
You Su decisively rolled backward, then quickly got up, secretly alarmed, Mind-Wishing Buddha truly had the power to make wishes come true?
"Capture the person responsible for this disaster!"
Mind-Wishing Buddha issued his command, all the believers on the lotus platform stood up and glared angrily at You Su.
Old Nine was furious, pulling out a mining shovel from somewhere and looking menacing. Even Hua Jing, First Seat and Tao Yaoyao were no exception.
Even more terrifying, foul and filthy things began to emerge continuously from the pond and from the earth, wriggling towards You Su.
You Su stood there, stunned by the scene before him, wondering if this Mind-Wishing Buddha was the emperor of this world. Why could everything obey his commands?
In the blink of an eye, a swarm of evil creatures had surrounded You Su, giving him the feeling of being at odds with the world.
You Su was not unable to retreat; he carried a teleportation talisman given to him by the Evil Warding Department. This talisman was extremely precious, and it was said that it took the Fourth Elder half a Heart's Blood to draw ten of them. However, its function was also extremely powerful, allowing him to instantly teleport to a place three miles away, thus completing his escape.
This has always been his greatest strength in venturing into dangerous situations, but with Zi Yiyi still here, how could he possibly escape alone?
A battle is about to break out.
The cultists let out sharp screechs, You Su finally witnessed the evil in these people. They were no longer living, breathing people like Old Nine when he first met them, but a brood of dirty rats trying to drive away the intruders with their chilling screams.
You Su leaped like an eagle, wielding his sword like rain, a dark arc of light flashing and disappearing in the firelight.
Each flash could shred the flesh of many people, yet they seemed oblivious to the pain and swarmed forward once more.
These evil spirits weren't particularly aggressive, but their sheer number made them difficult to deal with. Furthermore, worms and vegetation would climb onto his shoes every time he landed, leaving You Su feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
At this moment, You Su wished he was using a broadsword like Huo Yuandi's instead of the Ink Pine Sword. To deal with these wicked creatures that had lost their minds, one had to use wide, sweeping strokes, like cutting melons and vegetables, for it would be much more satisfying.
Although the battle intensified, You Su also noticed a problem—
Hua Jing, First Seat, and Tao Yaoyao were among the followers who surrounded him. However, they were different from these ordinary miners. They were immortals who had mastered the Mystic Qi and should not have blindly followed the Evil Tide.
What exactly happened?
If Hua Jing, First Seat were to make a move, he would have no chance of escaping.
You Su became increasingly calm in critical moments. In order not to accidentally harm his allies, he had been avoiding Hua Jing, First Seat and Tao Yaoyao. But this time, he took the initiative to rush towards the two women.
As he expected, the two women neither dodged nor evaded his sword, as if they had lost their minds. But from Old Nine's behavior, it was clear that although they were crazy, they had not forgotten their old habits. So as soon as Old Nine knew that a fight was about to break out, he would subconsciously pull out his mining shovel.
Fake!
You Su immediately realized this possibility!
In his eyes, the Hua Jing, First Seat was on the same level as the First Elder. The only evil spirits in the world capable of bewitching them were probably the three great Evil God hidden in the Unknown Land. How could this mere fake Buddha possibly do that?
Thinking of this, You Su felt somewhat relieved, but the battle continued.
His Mystic Qi surged, his muscles tensed, and he wielded the Ink Pine Sword incessantly, splattering blood and flesh everywhere. Yet the filth was relentless, endlessly surging forth, even You Su found it somewhat exhausting to deal with.
You Su felt slightly puzzled. Did this "Mind-Wishing Buddha" intend to work him to death?
If he truly had the power to make his wishes come true, he could have simply said something like, "Let me suffocate," instead of sending his followers to their deaths needlessly.
It was as if a silver bottle had suddenly shattered in You Su's mind, and her thoughts finally became clear.
The so-called "wish fulfillment" is essentially just two words—desire!
He was indeed anxious to exorcise evil, but with only three days until his junior sister's birthday, how could he have lost his mind and rashly ventured into the depths of Falling Star Valley?
It was precisely this Mind-Wishing Buddha that fueled his eagerness to return to Lotus Peak, leading him to commit such an irrational act!
Desire is the key to this evil slave retinue!
This explains why even such a lowly creature as an earthworm could become His retinue, and why evil spirits resembling terrestrial creatures would appear out of nowhere.
Because all living things, whether plants or humans, have their own desires!
Earthworms want to eat carrion, plants want to drink water and bask in the sun, and the Mind-Wishing Buddha grants them all, thus they unknowingly become the Mind-Wishing Buddha's followers.
This is absolutely the most corrupting evil spirit You Su has ever seen!
He felt a chill run down his spine and secretly resolved to kill this evil being no matter what.
However, the Evil Tide continued, and since he had not yet reached the Feather Transformation Realm, he could not fly directly across the defense line. He had no choice but to take out two Qi Pills to recover his strength.
Just as he was painstakingly devising his plans, the Mind-Wishing Buddha!
The crystal body of the Mind-Wishing Buddha gradually shattered, and fragments fell to the ground. Inside this transparent crystal Buddha body, a wriggling lump of pinkish-purple flesh was revealed.
It was hidden in the shadow of the Glazed Great Buddha, in the darkness, which led everyone to mistakenly believe that the Buddha's body was as clear as crystal.
The meat chunks were covered with countless eyes, all staring intently at the woman on the lotus leaf—it was none other than Zi Yiyi!
The hundreds of eyes on the piece of flesh blinked simultaneously, their dead fish-like eyes filled with panic and fear. It desperately crawled backward, trying to escape.
But it was too slow to outrun Zi Yiyi in the Water Condensation Realm.
Purple lightning flashed at Zi Yiyi's fingertips, captivating the soul in the darkness.
'Mind-Wishing Buddha' never imagined that her newly accepted believer would have such a blasphemous wish!
Everything happened so fast that You Su was still a little dazed. Looking at the graceful Fairy in the purple dress standing in front of the lump of meat, her silver hair was particularly eye-catching in the dim space.
You Su quickly realized that she was Zi Yiyi!
She did indeed become a follower of the Evil Demon, but why did she seem to be at odds with this evil spirit?
You Su couldn't figure out the answer for the time being, but fortunately, as Mind-Wishing Buddha fled, the reckless charge of these Evil Tide also came to a halt.
Seizing the opportunity, You Su quickly used his Ruyi Wind-Controlling Technique to run to Zi Yiyi's side with the speed of a rabbit and the agility of a falcon.
"Sister Yiyi! Are you alright?"
Looking at the woman's exquisitely beautiful, jade-like face, You Su knew that his question was futile.
Zi Yiyi turned to him and smiled, "Let's kill this evil one first."
You Su nodded emphatically. The bond between family members cannot be broken unless one of them dies. If you want to save Sister Yiyi, you must first kill this Mind-Wishing Buddha!
Mind-Wishing Buddha knew he couldn't escape even with wings, from somewhere on its body, the majestic voice of the Buddha emanated once more.
"I am the Buddha who gave you power! How dare you kill me!"
Zi Yiyi's lips curled up; this was the first time she had ever shown such a unrestrained smile.
"Didn't you say, 'Whatever you ask for, it will be fulfilled, like a wish-fulfilling jewel, everything will go as you wish'?"
"But your wish was to kill me!"
Mind-Wishing Buddha was being somewhat hysterical, he said, "Don't forget the well-digger when you drink the water! You're supposed to be a righteous Fairy, how can you do something like this—crossing the river and then burning the bridge!"
"You think I'm weak-willed and easily bewitched by you, but in reality, my will is too strong to resist your temptation. Unfortunately, from beginning to end, all I wanted was to eliminate evil."
You Su looked astonished, finally understanding what had happened.
He sighed inwardly, thinking that Zi Yiyi was indeed worthy of being the personal attendant of the Hua Jing, First Seat, as her greatest wish was to exorcise evil. And this evil spirit was specifically designed to fulfill other people's wishes, a situation where one was willing to give and the other was willing to receive, which caused this ' Mind-Wishing Buddha to be contradictory.
"Spare me... You can have another wish. As long as you don't kill me, I'll grant you anything... Wealth and luxury, whatever you want!"
Zi Yiyi raised her hand, which was flashing with purple light, and her beautiful face shone brightly in the purple light.
"I acknowledge you as Buddha, so you should grant my wish and commit suicide... This is all your own fault."
The girl's voice was flat, announcing the death sentence for Mind-Wishing Buddha.
Mind-Wishing Buddha's hundreds of eyes wide open at once, as if he had died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
These eyeballs peeled off all at once, rolling to the ground and becoming disgusting warts. They burst like spores, then completely turned into a pool of pus that dissolved into the earth.
You Su was still a little shaken; she hadn't expected everything to end so easily.
"Sister Yiyi's determination to eliminate evil has ironically become the opportunity for it. If it were someone with a weak will, they would probably find it difficult to break this deadlock."
Zi Yiyi smiled gently, "If it weren't for the divine child's extraordinary courage, I wouldn't have dared to venture into the depths of this valley."
This meticulous young girl even started joking with You Su.
You Su scratched his head in embarrassment, but suddenly his eyes widened because he was shocked to find that he could actually see Zi Yiyi's true face directly!
This means... she's still a member of Evil Demon's kin?!
Shouldn't this familial bond have already been severed because of his Mind-Wishing Buddha's death?
Just then, two figures floated out from the blind followers: the exquisitely beautiful Tao Yaoyao and the silver-haired, white-eyed Hua Jing, First Seat.
Zi Yiyi's beautiful eyes flickered, a hint of panic flashing across them.
"Yiyi, I am very disappointed in you..."
