Enter My Jar, All Are Insects

"They are merely humble monks. My lord, with your Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation, why do you bully the weak?"

The Blue Lotus Monk's memory had been clouded by Immortal Aunt Yuan Zhen of the Myriad Laws Sect, so he didn't recognize Chen Ming.

But Chen Ming hadn't forgotten how the Blue Lotus Monk had tried to snatch his disciple in the Vast Mountain.

Last time, Chen Ming's cultivation was insufficient, and he had endured it.

Now that his Divine Ability Magic Treasure was refined and they met again, how could he stand by?

Moreover, Chen Ming had heard everything Master Heyuan and his disciples had said just now.

They were all disciples and grand-disciples of the Jieding Monk, who had been killed by the Three Immortal Aunts of the Myriad Laws Sect while pursuing Situ Yuelan.

Furthermore, they were discussing using underhanded tactics to seize the Old Crow Temple, convert it into a Buddhist temple, and collect the incense and fire from the city.

It was a perfect opportunity to act, and Chen Ming would have righteousness on his side.

The Blue Lotus Monk had always been a loner in the Lotus Temple. Although he was a divine monk in the Spirit Condensation Realm, he had no disciples.

He and the Jieding Monk had once studied scriptures under the same master. Later, after both achieved the Spirit Condensation Realm, their relationship was quite good, and they addressed each other as fellow disciples.

After the Jieding Monk's death, his disciples, who occupied the cultivation resources and lacked a backer, became targets of envy.

Master Heyuan, helpless, had sought out the Blue Lotus Monk.

Coincidentally, the Blue Lotus Monk was planning to go on an expedition to a soon-to-open secret realm to search for treasures, so he agreed to Master Heyuan's request.

This led to the Blue Lotus Monk bringing them out of the Lotus Temple to find a place to build a branch Lotus Temple, thereby earning merit and avoiding gossip.

Who knew they would choose Golden Sun City, only to find upon arrival that someone had already beaten them to it.

Chen Ming paid no mind to the intricacies of the situation. The Five-Colored Radiance behind him erupted, grinding the Blue Lotus Monk's Buddha Light to dust.

Under the cover of the Five-Colored Radiance, Chen Ming's White Bone Demon Pot flew out, spewing poisonous smoke that engulfed Master Heyuan and his disciples, pulling them into the pot.

Although the Blood Bead within the White Bone Demon Pot had lost its sentience and transformed into the Red Spirit Boy, after being illuminated by the Creation Lotus Platform and further refined by Chen Ming through a unique method, it was now vastly different from before.

Currently, the Hundred Thousand Eight Thousand Insects within the Blood Bead were merely a symbolic number.

In reality, the insects within the Blood Bead were in a constant cycle of birth and death, countless like the sands of the Ganges.

Master Heyuan and the other monks and disciples were pulled into the White Bone Demon Pot and fell into the Blood Bead.

Instantly, they were ensnared by the karma within, unable to break free, as if plunged into the deepest abyss, continuously sinking, their divine souls and physical bodies devoured by the insects within the Blood Bead.

Gradually, they became a part of the Blood Bead, transforming into newly born insects within it.

"What a fiend!"

Although the Blue Lotus Monk didn't know what happened to Master Heyuan and his disciples after falling into Chen Ming's demon pot, he sensed that they were in dire straits and likely dead.

A phantom blue lotus bloomed beneath his feet, emitting waves of sandalwood fragrance, as if scriptures and chants were descending from the void.

The Blue Lotus Monk pointed a finger and said, "Enter my Lotus Paradise, forget greed, anger, ignorance, and hate..."

Chen Ming sensed that this divine ability was powerful. If he were struck by it and couldn't break free, he would be converted by the Blue Lotus Monk.

A flash of Five-Colored Radiance behind him blocked the Blue Lotus Monk's finger.

The blood-colored patterns on the White Bone Demon Pot flickered, and several insects as thin as hairs flew out. Their stingers pierced the Blue Lotus Monk's finger, and they sprayed poison smoke from their mouths.

The Blue Lotus Monk cried out in pain. The Buddha Light on his finger shone a bright yellow, incinerating the insects.

"Karma!"

The Blue Lotus Monk felt a wave of dizziness, his Divine Soul becoming heavy.

As a cultivator of the Spirit Condensation Realm, he was no stranger to karma.

Many divine abilities in Buddhism required karma for forging, but they were extremely dangerous, and one could easily become entangled in karma if not careful.

However, if one could escape karma, their divine abilities would advance greatly.

"This fiend's methods are actually related to karma!"

The Blue Lotus Monk hastily withdrew the lotus beneath his feet, drawing Buddha Light into his body to resist Chen Ming's Karma Poison Smoke.

Suddenly, his expression froze, a strange look flashing in his eyes. He said, "What kind of technique is this? Those insects I just incinerated were strange!"

"Those insects were precisely those monks transformed!"

"Your Buddhism has Paradise, and my demonic cultivation has the Nine Netherworlds!"

"Enter my pot, and you'll fall into the Nine Netherworlds, all transformed into insects!"

"If you enter, you'll be transformed into a fine insect!"

Chen Ming held the White Bone Demon Pot, with countless insects flying out and Karma Poison Smoke filling the air.

The Blue Lotus Monk's face changed drastically, and he quickly retreated.

With his cultivation at the Spirit Condensation Realm, it wouldn't be easy for Chen Ming to drag him into the pot.

However, Chen Ming's methods were too bizarre, and the Blue Lotus Monk was unwilling to risk testing them with his own body.

"Fellow Daoist, hold your hand!"

"Their deaths at your hands were due to karma and fate, already concluded!"

"Between you and me, why create more karmic variables!"

Blue Lotus Monk clasped his hands together. He had expended a considerable amount of Dharma power to dispel the Karma Poison Smoke that had entered his body. If he were to be tainted by it again, he wouldn't be able to afford it.

"Moreover, they are Disciples of Jieding Monk. What do they have to do with me, Blue Lotus Monk? Even if there were a connection, I led this branch of theirs away from the sect's ostracism, fulfilling my friendship with Jieding!"

Within his heart, Blue Lotus Monk possessed his own set of principles. He could often rationalize his actions, and he truly believed in them himself.

Otherwise, with his flawed Buddhist teachings, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Chen Ming hadn't intended to kill Blue Lotus Monk either.

He knew that Blue Lotus Monk had been struck by Immortal Aunt Yuan Zhen's divine ability, his memory now obscured. He would also be caught in the schemes of the Myriad Laws Sect in the future.

If he killed Blue Lotus Monk, not only would he offend the Myriad Laws Sect and those three Immortal Aunts, but he would likely also be drawn into their schemes.

Although he now possessed the Strength of the Spirit Condensation Realm, Chen Ming had a premonition that it was best to stay out of the Myriad Laws Sect's affairs.

"Very well, what you say has some truth to it." Chen Ming seized the opportunity to de-escalate.

Blue Lotus Monk smiled and said, "What happened today, you know, I know, and heaven and earth do not know!"

With that, an arcane Scripture appeared on Blue Lotus Monk's body. It circled in the air twice before slowly dissipating.

This was a divine ability he had comprehended by chance after reaching the Spirit Condensation Realm. It could shield certain karmic perceptions.

Unless a great cultivator of the Origin Return Realm or above specifically investigated, no trace would be found.

It was an excellent divine ability for killing and covering one's tracks!

As soon as Blue Lotus Monk's divine ability took effect, Chen Ming sensed something.

He calculated with his fingers and discovered that Master Heyuan and his Disciples had found an Opportunity here and had gone to an unknown location. It wasn't a sign of death.

If Chen Ming hadn't known for certain that those monks had entered the White Bone Demon Pot, been refined into insects, and then killed by Blue Lotus Monk's Buddha Light, he wouldn't have been able to see through the deception.

"The divine abilities and methods of Spirit Condensation Realm cultivators truly cannot be underestimated!"

A warning arose in Chen Ming's heart. Fortunately, he hadn't directly attacked the Chayi Sect. Otherwise, facing Fairy Caiyi, he might have suffered a loss by being careless!

During the new book period, I hope all fellow Daoists will cast their Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets daily to encourage me. I am currently ranked 18th on the Xianxia New Book list. I want to break into the top ten, top five, top three, and onto the overall list. I implore all of you to lend me a hand. With your support, I will achieve my demonic path and ascend all the way. Grateful Thanks!!!
