Buddha Said, This World Is Real!

Just as Li Yan was sitting in the Abyss Palace, constantly consuming Purple Mansion Bright Wisdom Pills, and diligently cultivating the Candle Dragon Rewind Power.

Inside the White Jade Capital, apart from Da Nuo Siming, who had been severely injured by Li Yan.

The remaining Shi Yue, Chang Sheng, Zhang Deng, Tao Shou, and Li Zai, the five Sì Mìng, were gathered together discussing something.

This time they dismissed their servants, leaving only these five Sì Mìng present.

Tao Shou among them was somewhat impatient: "Li Chang Sheng, are you still playing with your copper coin?"

"Now that the Ghost-faced Dragon Nightmare has been subdued by Li Yan, it will be even more troublesome for us to enter the Abyss of the Netherworld."

"If you still can't come up with a way to deal with Li Yan, I'll go first."

This bald man had a large belly, with traces of unknown sauce on the corner of his mouth, and his hands were greasy and sticky.

It seemed that he didn't want to wait any longer and wanted to take action himself.

Everyone's eyes turned to Longevity Siming. Li Chang Sheng was still lazily lying in the clouds, tossing the copper coin from time to time, as if this copper coin had some special function.

Facing the questioning of the other Sì Mìng, Li Chang Sheng didn't care: "If you want to go, then go, don't mind me."

"My good show must be the finale. The Dao patterns are still being arranged, what's the rush."

As he spoke, Li Chang Sheng's playful gaze turned to Shi Yue.

"As far as I know, every Sì Mìng has a plan to deal with the Abyss of the Netherworld."

"We're busy here, but Shi Yue has been very low-key."

"I'm very curious, how does Shi Yue plan to deal with Li Yan? How will you capture your old flame?"

Seeing Li Chang Sheng directing the topic to her, Shi Yue snorted coldly: "No comment."

Seeing everyone joking and making noise, Lamp Holding Siming finally couldn't hold back.

"Enough!"

"If you don't take action, I will!"

The six lamps in the hands of this Lamp Holding Siming with six arms began to shake.

Golden light flickered from time to time in the ghostly blue flames, and the flames in the lamps began to sway wildly.

Accompanied by the six-armed Lamp Holding Siming chanting an incantation, the hoarse voice was so drowsy.

"Thousand layers of Lamp Shadow, whirling into chapters, Li Yan, heed my command, your soul follows the light.

Take three steps into the void, each step into illusion, the seven souls sink into the shadows, each shadow has its fate.

The wick is the guide, breaking through the mortal world, the Lamp Shadow is the boundary, connecting heaven and earth.

This is neither a dream nor the human world, waiting for you to enter the urn, the illusion will reveal itself."

Seeing Zhang Deng casting a spell, Li Chang Sheng grinned and asked.

"Interesting, Old Lamp, how did you hook Li Yan's shadow soul?"

The six-armed Lamp Holding Siming, who was casting the spell, raised his head and smiled triumphantly.

"Li Yan has entered Jun Tian Bai Cang, and his residual shadow has left traces."

"I only need to use a little trick to draw out his shadow soul."

"As the saying goes, people leave shadows, and shadows leave traces. I have caught Li Yan's shadow trace."

The Tao Shou Sì Mìng next to him patted his round belly: "Old Lamp, why didn't you use it earlier? You made me hungry again, and I want to eat something."

The sickly scholar Li Zai said in a feminine and timid voice.

"He... he doesn't want to take action, lest Da Nuo take half of the credit."

After being exposed, several Sì Mìng smiled at each other, pointing at each other.

"You old foxes, all want to suck other people's blood?"

Shi Yue looked at this group of scheming Sì Mìng and murmured in her heart: "They all want to catch Li Yan and ask their respective masters for credit."

Obviously, the Sì Mìng were not subordinate to each other, and their Dao patterns came from different deities.

They were all calculating and competing with each other, and no one wanted to let others take advantage in advance.

They could sit here and talk eloquently, being polite on the surface, but in fact, they were all watching who would lose their composure first.

Looking at this Lamp Holding Siming, he used the shadow traces of Li Yan remaining in Jun Tian Bai Cang to lead Li Yan into his Lamp Shadow illusion.

At this time, Li Yan.

[Detecting that the host's shadow soul has been hooked away, activating side effect reversal!]

Li Yan, who was in the Abyss Palace, only felt a burst of dizziness, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a Buddhist hall!?

Sitting in front of the Buddhist hall of the temple, Li Yan looked up.

In the main hall of the temple, there was a golden Buddha statue in the center.

The Buddha statue lowered its eyes, showing a compassionate and merciful feeling.

Looking around, there were rows of red candles on both sides, and the candlelight swayed gently with the breeze.

Thump, thump, thump.

The sound of a distant bell tolling drifted over, surrounded by the chanting of scriptures, which, upon closer listening, seemed to be the Heart Sutra.

When he suddenly appeared in this place, Li Yan realized that he had been inexplicably pulled into an illusion.

"Strange..."

"To be able to silently pull me from the Abyss of the Netherworld into this place?"

"No."

"My existence is neither a physical body nor a Divine Soul, so what is this?"

Li Yan felt very strange. He entered this temple illusion, not with his physical body, nor with his Divine Soul.

If it wasn't his body or his Divine Soul, then what part of him was dragged into this place?

"Hmm? A shadow?"

Li Yan looked down and saw that, illuminated by the candlelight, he didn't cast a shadow.

Could it be...

This is the Shadow World?

His, Li Yan's, shadow was dragged into this mysterious place.

A shadow...

"Could it be Lamp Holding Siming?"

Li Yan speculated that Lamp Holding Siming probably had some special ability to drag other people's shadows into illusions.

And his consciousness followed his shadow into this 'Shadow World'.

Just as Li Yan was pondering, a kind voice came from behind him.

"This benefactor may feel lost or confused."

"Presumably, you are eager to know why you have come to this place, to this Lamp Shadow Temple."

Li Yan turned around at the sound of the voice and saw an old abbot with a wrinkled face but kind eyes, who had arrived behind Li Yan at some point.

The old abbot patted Li Yan on the shoulder in a very friendly manner, making the whole process feel incredibly relaxing.

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, and a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[Shadow World side effect detected - Bewitchment. This Shadow World is filled with 'Yao Jue Dao Patterns', which can cause illusions and make people more susceptible to bewitchment.]

[Immunity to side effects activated for host! Turn Falsehood into Truth!]

Hmm?

Isn't Zhang Deng a member of the Bloodline Emperor Lord? Why would it have 'Yao Jue Dao Patterns'?

Could it be that this old lamp worships both gods? Believes in two deities? And has mastered two types of Dao Patterns?

However, upon seeing 'Turn Falsehood into Truth', Li Yan started to laugh inwardly.

After all, when he thought about what would happen when the side effects were turned into positive effects, he began to look forward to what Lamp Holding Siming would do.

Li Yan simply played along and asked, "Is this place the Shadow World? Then what am I doing here?"

The old abbot shook his head and retorted.

"You say shadows are illusory? Wrong—sentient beings are the shadows cast by lamps.

The skin is the remnant of lamp oil burned away, and thoughts are the chaotic patterns flickering from the wick. You think you are stepping on solid ground in the so-called reality? It's just light leaking through the bone seams, leaving illusory traces on the walls of reincarnation!"

"What is truth? What is falsehood?"

"The Buddha says, this world is real!"
