"Senior, this Buddhist treasure isn't meant to be sent to Luoyang?"
"Of course not!" Chan Master Baiyun smiled. "The world is in chaos now, and people's hearts are like Ghost Domain. What use would sending Buddhist treasures to Luoyang be?"
Li Su was stunned. So, from the very beginning, this so-called "Buddha's Treasure" was meant to deal with those two great demons from Jinhua?
Why make it so complicated? The Black Mountain Demon did give Li Su a terrifying feeling, but he didn't think...
Suddenly, Li Su paused, realizing that what was easy for him was not easy for the people of this world.
Talent-based bonus, Dao Exposition bonus.
He is essentially the reincarnation of the World Honored One and the descent of the Dao Lord, yet he still finds him troublesome; how much more so would those whose talent doesn't even reach 100%?
It seems that the existence of the Black Mountain Demon is an insurmountable mountain.
Wait a minute, it's difficult for the Buddhist Sect sect, but the Dragon Tiger Mountain sect shouldn't find it difficult either, since the Orthodox Unity sect can use divine incantations.
Seemingly sensing Li Su's doubt, Chan Master Baiyun smiled and said, "Nephew, you've been to Jinhua, so you must have seen the two demons. What were your impressions?"
Li Su thought for a moment and said, "The tree demon is alright, but the Black Mountain Demon seems unfathomable; I'm afraid we can't defeat him for now."
"Temporarily?" Chan Master Baiyun nodded. "Indeed, given the talent you've shown, perhaps it's possible, given another fifty years."
Fifty years? Li Su raised an eyebrow, feeling looked down upon. With his talent plus his Dao Exposition, he still needed fifty years to defeat the Black Mountain Demon? How much were they underestimating him?
Without explaining, Chan Master Baiyun smiled and said, "Come, Ten Directions, carry it on your back." The old Zen master handed the Buddhist shrine to himself with a smile.
Li Su rolled his eyes. "Old Zen Master, I haven't agreed yet." Despite his thoughts, he still reached out and took the Buddhist shrine, preparing to carry it on his back.
Um?
The moment Li Su received the Buddhist shrine, Li Su body involuntarily paused, as an unprecedented power emanated from it.
Is that the golden Buddha?
A look of surprise flashed in Li Su's eyes. It was so heavy, unbelievably heavy, as if a mountain was pressing down on her body.
Damn it, how did that little monk Ten Directions manage to carry that thing? It's so heavy!
"It must be heavy, right?" the old monk asked with a smile.
Li Su's forehead was sweating, he felt extremely exhausted, and the veins on his hands were bulging. He nodded.
Chan Master Baiyun squinted and smiled, "This Buddhist treasure, the higher your cultivation level, the heavier it will become. This can also be considered a form of cultivation. When you feel it is no longer..."
As if he were about to be crushed, Li Su could no longer hear what Chan Master Baiyun was saying. He felt and saw the power constantly seeping out from the Buddhist shrine, flowing into his body. It was penetrating his power, flowing in through the gaps, and disrupting the balance of his body's Daoist aura.
Both the Lotus Dao Fruit and the Primordial Spirit Dao Fruit were impacted.
This is not an attack.
Rather, it was a form of tempering, helping him to perceive the state of his own foundation. The reason it felt so heavy was because although his realm had stabilized, it had not yet been completely solidified.
Li Su took a deep breath, and a glint of light began to flash in her eyes.
The Primordial Spirit Dao Fruit directly crossed its legs, and seven-colored precious light continuously overflowed from its body, cleansing itself and resisting the invasion of the Buddhist shrine's power while simultaneously solidifying the original crack.
The Lotus Dao Fruit trembled slightly, each tremor a self-adjustment. As forces not belonging to it were shaken out, it began to frantically solidify its Dao foundation.
After a long while, Li Su let out a long breath, picked up the Buddhist shrine and carried it on his back, then smiled and said, "Sorry, Uncle-Master, I'm not used to it yet. By the way, what did you say, Uncle-Master?"
Chan Master Baiyun clasped his hands together, shook his head, and stepped forward, saying, "It's nothing, you'll get used to it. Let's go, let's get going!"
Buddha of Infinite Life, Prajna Buddhas, what the hell is this???
The Buddhist treasure comes from the South Sea and has been blessed by the Bodhisattva. It possesses great supernatural powers and can suppress all evil spirits.
For those who cultivate Buddhism, it is also of great benefit. As long as they enter its range, their spiritual foundation will be shaken and become unstable, making it impossible for them to lift it. The reason why Ten Directions is asked to carry it is because although he cultivates Buddhism, he is just an ordinary person and does not possess cultivation, so it is not heavy for him to lift.
It took the old monk almost half a year to get used to this thing before he could hold it in his hand with ease.
As a result Fahai got used to it completely in no time after he first held it in his hand?
What kind of foundation is this? Was it made of molten iron?
What exactly did the Pure Land Sect take in? Has this guy cultivated for a total of ten years? I've had eighty years of Zen meditation, and I don't feel as stable as his.
The old Zen master was undoubtedly a bit out of touch with reality, feeling utterly disillusioned and thinking, "Let whoever wants to practice Buddhism do it; I'm not practicing it anymore."
He had been quite proud of his cultivation level, but now he was in a very awkward situation.
Well, it's decided. I'll leave the Black Mountain Demon to my junior disciple. No need to fight to the death. That's great.
The two quickly set off.
Originally, their speed shouldn't have been fast. The old Zen master thought it would take Li Su quite a while to fully get used to the Buddhist shrine. But now, having set off from Ninghai, they arrived in Yiwu in just three days, and were less than a few dozen miles from Jinhua.
"It's much quieter here in the west now."
When the old Zen master first planned to travel this route, he was quite worried, feeling he would be exhausted before even reaching Jinhua. However, not only did they not encounter a single monster along the way, but the weather in Yiwu was also pleasantly calm. But for some reason, the people from Yiwu looked at them with a strange expression, a mixture of gratitude and fear. It wasn't surprising for the Buddhist Sect to be grateful, but being feared was rather perplexing.
But considering that Li Su seemed to have come from this area, could it be him?
Immediately, Chan Master Baiyun smiled and said, "By the way, nephew, have you ever been to Yiwu?"
"It's much quieter now. I didn't expect Yiwu to be so peaceful!"
Li Su paused, then shook his head and said, "No, I didn't go into Yiwu." He truly hadn't gone in. Although he had brought quite a few people over, he left as soon as he reached the gate. He was in a hurry to kill demons; why would he have time to go into the city?
Chan Master Baiyun was taken aback. He had thought Fahai was exorcising demons in Yiwu, but it turned out not to be.
Never mind, whatever happens, the primary goal now is Jinhua.
Soon, the two, master and apprentice, set off.
The journey was incredibly peaceful and quiet, just like in a movie, with almost no obstacles encountered.
Needless to say, there were no demons or monsters, and certainly no bandits or thieves.
I thought the trip would take more than half a month, but it ended up taking less than a week to enter Jinhua.
At this moment, Li Su had already changed his appearance, transforming into the Ten Directions monk Shifang. After taking a few steps, he frowned and said, "Master, this golden Buddha..."
"Shh, Ten Directions, look where we are!"
"Oh, we're almost at Jinhua. Guoan is not far ahead, and then we can enter Yellow Mountain."
"Really? We've almost gone halfway. Let's head to Jinhua today, rest for a day, and continue our journey tomorrow."
"OK!"
The master and his apprentice set off one after the other towards Jinhua.
After a long while, Chan Master Baiyun finally spoke, "Walls have ears. Nephew, you just wanted to ask me why the Buddhist aura was leaking, didn't you?"
"Right!"
"That was the original purpose."
"Oh~!"
"That Black Mountain Demon has extremely high cultivation, exceeding the realm that human beings can reach. It is basically impossible to fight against it. Moreover, this demon is extremely cautious. If anything goes wrong, it will hide underground and not come out. To eliminate it, we must do two things: first, weaken its power without it being noticed; second, make it unable to escape."
"The function of the Buddhist treasure is based on this. The leaked Buddhist power will continuously weaken the opponent's strength, while fixing this space. Once it appears, there is no way to escape."
Li Su nodded in realization. As expected of the Buddhist Sect, they were really cunning. In the movie, although Chan Master Baiyun was constantly tricked by his disciples, in reality, he wasn't tricked at all; he deliberately let them trick him. Poor tree demon, he was never taken seriously by Chan Master Baiyun from beginning to end.
It felt like stepping into another world.
Standing in the shadow cast by the tree demon, Li Su couldn't help but sigh. The stench of blood in the air was so strong that even Li Su felt his throat go numb. How many people must have died to create such an intense smell?
Chan Master Baiyun remained silent. He sighed, clearly having also smelled the stench of rotting corpses.
The master and apprentice proceeded step by step, first entering Jinhua, which was completely different from Yiwu. It was no exaggeration to call this a living hell. The people here were ugly and had ferocious faces, as if they were manifestations of evil spirits. Their mouths and eyes were crooked, their limbs were deformed, and almost none of them were intact.
However, something's not right. We don't seem to have seen the reincarnated Yan Chixia?
Shouldn't they have encountered each other in the wild in the story? The other party is indiscriminately killing people and is extremely greedy.
"They're here!"
Suddenly, Chan Master Baiyun spoke.
Li Su was startled. A Noisy came from not far away, and she saw one person chasing more than ten people. There was a flurry of swords and shadows, and countless corpses on the ground.
Is it Yan, the Master Yuming?
Looking at his attire as a chivalrous swordsman, with a shrewd and mercenary expression, although I didn't recognize him at first glance, there was no doubt that it was Master Yuming of Dragon Tiger Mountain. And you know what? With this disguise, I didn't think much of him before, but now I recognized him immediately. Old Zhang, the king whose talent was wasted on his voice.
Depend on!
It turns out it was a three-way attack by Dragon Tiger Mountain, Nanhua Temple, and the Pure Land Sect.
This act was truly masterful; I feel sorry for that Black Mountain Demon.
As things stand, unless the other side comes up with some other tricks, it's basically a dead end.
Soon, Yan Chixia exchanged a glance with Yan Chixia, and the three parted ways.
It seems that everything is proceeding according to the original plot.
******
"Monks? Two!"
In that hellish place, the tree demon's eyes flickered as it listened to the report. The Black Mountain Demon remained silent, which meant it wasn't that guy Fahai?
The tree spirit shook its roots, sensing something slightly.
The old monk was no slouch; although he couldn't do anything to him, dealing with him was quite troublesome.
On the contrary, that little monk... his blood energy was so rich, eating one of him would probably be more satisfying than eating a thousand people. Instantly, the tree demon couldn't help but lick its lips; the injuries it had suffered before were still throbbing and hadn't healed.
Perfect!
The tree spirit spoke directly, " Xiao Zhuo!"
Finally, finally, the true heroine of A Chinese Ghost Story has made her grand entrance after much anticipation.
She had long, flowing hair and was stunningly beautiful. Her eyes seemed to possess a captivating allure. Her clothes were neither too revealing nor too revealing, making it seem as if one could see everything yet also see nothing at all, stirring up intense lust in men.
Just standing there, without making any movement, was already unbearable.
She spoke softly, her eyes alluring, every movement seemingly capable of stirring the deepest desires in one's heart. " Xiao Zhuo understands!"
With a waft of fragrance, she vanished.
It seems to be the same as the original plot, but there are some differences, though I can't quite put my finger on them.
Lanruo Temple, as Xiao Zhuo acted, the tree demon quickly cooperated. The old Zen master glanced at Li Su and said, "There's Yao Qi here. Ten Directions, keep a close eye on the Buddhist treasure. I'll be right back."
As he spoke, he gave Li Su a wink.
Nephew, it's just acting! Don't actually do it yet. There's not enough time. The Black Mountain Demon's power hasn't been weakened enough. If you arouse the enemy's suspicion, all our efforts will be wasted.
Li Su rolled her eyes, feeling rather annoyed.
There's a juvenile snake on him too, this scene is really hard to control, it's 18+, no, in modern society, 18 is probably already third base, right? Yeah, it's not suitable for children...
What to do?
Seeing the old monk rushing out, was he going to find a seat to prepare for the upcoming show?
Or should we confuse the little one first? Prevent her from sensing anything? As for the old monk, let him watch; the story is over, and he can't escape his dark history, right?
With this in mind, Li Su made a bold decision: to perfectly portray Ten Directions's behavior, to express his coy reluctance to the fullest extent, after all, he had been alone in his empty room for more than ten years.
Amitabha Buddha, calm your mind, focus your attention...
Thump! Thump!
Unusual! Li Su raised an eyebrow. Knocking on the door directly? Not a ghost shouting? Hmm, bad review!
However, he took a breath and decided to open the door anyway, but first covered the Buddhist treasure with a cloth. He did not completely follow the original plot development pattern. In fact, he had already fought the tree demon and had also encountered the Black Mountain Demon not long ago. Would the plot really continue as scheduled? Li Su had some doubts.
Li Su went downstairs, took a breath, and tried to make her voice sound less calm and composed. What was nervousness? It seemed like it had been a long time since she had felt it.
"Who?"
"It's me!" A soft, feminine voice rang out, as if a woman were breathing heavily in your ear. Even Li Su Sufo, whose heart was as hard as iron, couldn't help but tremble slightly.
His expression changed, and he almost blurted out, "Who the hell are you?"
I remember the female ghost in the movie "Dao Dao Dao" was Xiao Zhuo. Although it was played by the same actress, it wasn't the same person.
Is her magic really that powerful?
Li Su was not Ten Directions after all. Although he often uttered ingenious ideas, his Dao foundation was undoubtedly as solid as a rock. How could a single word from the other party shake his Dao foundation? And a Dao foundation that had been fixed once by the Golden Buddha?
This is a bit beyond my expectations.
As Li Su approached the door, her gaze was deep and unsettling, sensing that the plot was heading in an unpredictable direction.
Have I overlooked something?
Is this story really going to end so simply and predictably?
Recalling his previous two entries into the World Fragment, the first time Zhao Heng was like a bug, the second time Di Ni was like a bug in itself, but this third time was just ordinary?
Li Su opened the door.
In an instant, he met the eyes of the woman outside the door—no, the female ghost.
Li Su took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. Damn it, this is a disaster...
No wonder something felt off; how could this possibly be right?
Looking back now, during the battle with the tree demon that day, the demon completely ignored the other demons and monsters, but somehow managed to move all the female ghosts away before it even made a move.
Is this thing some kind-hearted demon?
That can't be!
For it, what else has it ever cared about besides itself?
Not to mention that it didn't think it could threaten it at the time, and moving the female ghost away in advance was itself a strange behavior.
Looking at the person who came before her, Li Su understood; the fact that the female ghost had been moved away beforehand could also be explained.
Xiao Zhuo, or perhaps Xiaoqian, was stunningly beautiful, beyond description. Her eyes, her movements, even the fragrance that wafted on the wind, all possessed an alluring quality.
Under Li Su's Dao Eye, the woman before him was not only unchangingly beautiful, but her entire body was also covered with azure-blue Dao aura. Her beauty was almost comparable to the supreme Dao Scripture that Li Su possessed.
But what's most terrifying is what's happening inside this woman's body?
Countless demons and monsters, countless wronged souls and spirits, like the deepest part of hell, a sight that would make even gods tremble.
"Won't you invite me in for a seat?" Xiao Zhuo asked, a smile appearing on her fair and delicate face. In that instant, it was as if a hundred flowers were blooming, captivating all who beheld her.
Hiss~!
The little snake in Li Su's sleeve reacted immediately, involuntarily tensing its body. At the same time, Bai Su and Qing'er's Primordial Spirit were both alarmed, feeling an unprecedented terror.
Li Su scratched his head, feeling utterly exhausted. Was the bug this time actually the female lead?
His eyes changed, flashing with golden light. He wasn't just observing the other person; he was also trying his best to capture them, frantically trying to capture them.
Where is the hope?
After a moment, he took a breath and said, "Please!"
Xiao Zhuo walked in with a smile on her face, and without waiting for Li Su to speak, she went straight up to the second-floor pavilion.
"Hey, didn't the golden Buddha fall down there?"
As if she couldn't sense the power of the golden Buddha, Xiao Zhuo walked directly to the table and sat down. She had a smile on her face, and her every glance was so attractive, like a young woman waiting to be married, or a top courtesan who had fallen into prostitution. Every move she made was so captivating.
Compared to her An Ran, the little snake in Li Su's sleeve was completely agitated, its scales trembling all over.
"Brother, there's a big problem with this woman!" Qing'er transmitted her voice directly through her Primordial Spirit, her tone filled with unprecedented anxiety.
Before Li Su could speak, Xiao Zhuo looked up, her face showing displeasure, and said, "You're not allowed to whisper to other women."
Hiss~!
Qing'er's pigtails stood up, and she couldn't help but tilt her head back, making a movement unique to small snakes, ready to attack.
Xiao Zhuo seemed to sense it; her eyes changed, turning black, and an overwhelming ferocity erupted from her body, carrying the mournful cries of endless dead souls.
Li Su raised her hand and gently patted her sleeve to calm Qing'er down. Ignoring the terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Zhuo's body, she walked directly to the other person and sat down in front of the golden Buddha.
Xiao Zhuo was surprised and looked at Li Su with some astonishment, not expecting that the other party could remain calm even when facing him.
"Strange, you don't seem afraid?"
"If you're scared, you'll leave?"
"Interesting. You're the first person I've ever met who's this interesting."
"Are you Xiao Zhuo?"
"Just call me Xiaoqian, it's all me anyway, and Xiaoqian is my real name, isn't it?"
What's going on with you?
"Me? Oh, you mean why I'm not an ordinary female ghost? I was born in a yin year, yin month, yin hour, and yin moment. In Daoist terms, I should be called a pure yin body, which means I basically won't live past twenty. However, I was unlucky and died at sixteen. Coincidentally, the day I died was also a yin year, yin month, yin hour, and yin moment, so I became a ghost. But the difference is that I became a pure yin ghost."
It wouldn't have been a big deal originally, since there was a thousand-year-old demon in the area I was in, and I couldn't escape its control. But after this happened again and again, perhaps because the number of times had accumulated too much, the yin energy became increasingly dense, and by sheer coincidence, I came into contact with Daoist magic, which activated the Taiyin Yin energy, allowing me to awaken from this endless cycle of reincarnation. Isn't that interesting?
Xiao Zhuo —no, Xiaoqian— said it simply, but as her words fell, both Bai Su and Qing'er couldn't help but tremble.
Taiyin Yin Yun?
One of the supreme Daoist principles of the Demon Race, ranking alongside the Daoist principle of the sun.
Currently, he is the leader of the eight great demon kings of the Demon Race, and he has mastered the Dao of the Sun. Therefore, he is the strongest in the entire Demon Race. If it weren't for Xia King, the human race would probably have been wiped out.
It was actually the Yin-Yang style of Taiyin; no wonder the other person gave him the feeling that they had learned the highest scriptures.
"I see.."
Similar to Di Ni, she exploited a bug, but it's clear that Xiaoqian's exploit was ten thousand times more powerful than the other's.
Damn, the Yin rhythm of Taiyin can trace back to ancient times; it belongs to the Dao of Taiyin Xihe.
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion rang out.
"Oh, it's already been applied." Xiaoqian wasn't surprised at all. She looked up at the window and said with a smile.
Li Su let out a breath. Even without looking, he could sense that the tree demon was going berserk. The Chan Master Baiyun, who was originally preparing to act, and the Master Yuming, who was playing Yan Chixia, were no longer hiding and were attacking with all their might.
As for the result, it was not satisfactory.
That old demon is much stronger than before.
"Are you controlling the tree spirit?"
"Yeah, I've always been in control, but I don't usually pay much attention to it. This guy is indiscriminate in his eating habits, and he eats everything. But luckily, I've collected a lot of resentment towards it, so I let it act on its own."
"Is that so..."
Li Su rubbed her temples. What kind of grand script was this, with three different parties involved? The three of them had completely immersed themselves in the script of the female ghost in front of them.
At this moment, the white-green snake could no longer sit still.
Sensing the impending crisis, once Chan Master Baiyun's side was dealt with, they would undoubtedly face the terrifying female demon, the tree demon, and the Black Mountain Demon.
Even Bai Su tensed up at this moment, sensing a life-threatening crisis.
Why did it turn out like this? Especially this female ghost in front of us, it's completely out of the story!
Qing'er 'Primordial Spirit manifested directly, perching on Li Su's shoulder. Her eyes narrowed to slits, and her body revealed a fierce aura she had never shown before when she was with Li Su. Combined with her small face, she looked both cute and fierce. If she were to let out a wailing sound, the atmosphere would be even more intense.
"Little demon, do you want to die?"
Xiaoqian spoke to Li Su with exceptional gentleness Xiyu, but became incredibly fierce towards the little snake. As the most terrifying demon in the world, Xiao Qing's behavior undoubtedly provoked her.
Qing'er's Primordial Spirit was in an uproar, but she didn't back down. She stared intently at Xiaoqian, while inside her body, Bai Su also took a breath, her eyes filled with boundless killing intent, preparing to make her move.
"Alright!" Just as tensions were about to rise, Li Su reached out and patted Xiao Qing's head, saying, "Go outside and help the Zen Master and the others."
"Brother!" Qing'er's eyes widened in surprise. She knew from her sister's reaction how ferocious the female ghost was. Shouldn't they have joined forces to deal with her first?
"That's right, fellow Daoist, this woman is terrifying. I have no confidence whatsoever. Let's join forces."
Bai Su also emerged, her Primordial Spirit glowing, with magical power trembling violently, and visible Daoist aura gathering on her body.
Li Su was taken aback, not expecting that the "sister "Qing'er mentioned was also there. He couldn't help but blink, thinking of the colors of their original forms—two souls in one body?
Moreover, Bai Su's Daoist aura was clearly different from that of this world, just like his.
Because Qing'er was still young and had not cultivated for long, her Daoist aura was not apparent, so Li Su could not see anything. However, he immediately realized from Bai Su's Daoist aura that she was probably not from this world.
Real-world Demon Race? Why?
Instantly, many questions arose in Li Su's mind, but he quickly suppressed them. He sensed that Xiaoqian's killing intent was growing stronger, and she seemed about to attack the two women.
Forget it, let's focus on the present.
Li Su suddenly extended his right hand, gently pressing his index finger on the Buddha's treasure. He regained his original appearance and used his own Buddhist power.
In an instant, Xiaoqian's gaze sharpened, and the malice that was about to erupt stopped abruptly. She looked at Li Su with slight surprise, "You're different from anyone I've met before."
"Really? That's an honor."
Li Su smiled. " Qing'er, and Qing'er's older sister?"
"Greetings, fellow Daoist! My name is Bai Su!"
"Really? Hello!"
"Then, Bai Su, please take your sister with you to the tree demon's side and help the old Zen master. That tree demon should be your target, right?"
"How could you, no, fellow Daoist, do this?"
" Bai Su, cultivation is actually a very selfish thing. You could say that there is no one in the world more selfish than a cultivator." Li Su spoke up suddenly. He said softly, "The selfishness here does not refer to selfishness or self-interest, but rather that one can only rely on oneself. There may be those who share the same boat and walk side by side on the path of cultivation, but in the end, a cultivator can only rely on himself, and only himself."
"Because the path a cultivator walks is a path against the heavens, a path to reverse one's destiny."
"Transcending birth and death, and not falling into the cycle of reincarnation."
"That's wonderful, but this behavior itself is a denial of destiny. The first thing that cannot be tolerated is not anything else, but Heaven, the Dao, and fate. It will never allow anyone to arbitrarily deviate from its predetermined path. Therefore, it will send down calamities to kill us and destroy our path."
At this point, Li Su paused, turned to look at the otherworldly beauty, and said in a deep voice, "And Xiaoqian, she is my current tribulation!!!"
The three women were stunned at the same time. Even Xiaoqian couldn't help but look at Li Su in surprise. Facing her, it wouldn't be too much to ask for more help. In fact, many people had done the same before, but the outcome was obvious.
Interesting, truly interesting. I let him go before because I thought he could continue to grow and gain even more.
But now it seems that perhaps he really can break free from this endless cycle of hell. Ah, it's been a long and unbearable wait, but it will all be over, it's destined to end.
After I eat him...
Bai Su was stunned for a long time. In a daze, the figure of the person who had left an extremely strong impression on her heart appeared and overlapped with Li Su.
"You must live and escape this calamity. I don't want someone who owes me a favor to die like this."
Bai Su took a deep breath, and her Primordial Spirit returned to her physical body.
"Sister?" Qing'er couldn't help but shout. She wanted to do something else, but her Primordial Spirit froze and she returned to her original body.
The White-Green Snake's body emerged from Li Su's sleeve, rushed out of the window, and instantly transformed into a giant python tens of meters long, soaring through the air with a deafening roar.
Rumble!
His figure was as swift as thunder, his silhouette as fast as lightning.
It tore through the sky, leaving destruction in its wake.
The giant White-Green Snake's body shimmered with runes, carrying an aura of world-destroying destruction, as it charged towards the distant location of the tree demon.
"I was really underestimated!" Nie Xiaoqian's eyes narrowed slightly, a murderous glint flashing in them. She raised her small hand, pointing it towards the window, ready to strike.
"Don't move, or all your efforts will be wasted."
Li Su suddenly smiled, and a wisp of golden sand appeared on her fingertip, landing precisely on top of the Buddhist artifact.
Nie Xiaoqian froze, then glared at Li Su and said coquettishly, "This man really doesn't know how to take care of a young woman's feelings at all."
She twisted her body, as if she were a girlfriend, lover, or sweetheart throwing a tantrum, exuding a captivating charm that pierced to the bone.
Li Su sighed, somewhat wistfully, "Well, what can I do? I'm just a bald Buddhist Sect monk; I don't understand love."
Nie Xiaoqian chuckled, "To say such things about yourself, you're quite amusing. In a little while, I'll slowly devour your cultivation, and before you die, I'll let you enjoy the full beauty of human relationships."
"Really?" Li Su laughed and said, "What a coincidence, I was also planning to talk to you when I was skinning you alive, pulling out your heart and lungs to extract oil."
Nie Xiaoqian said with dissatisfaction, "You were so funny just now, but now it seems you really don't know how to cherish a woman."
Li Su laughed and said, "This is also a way of expressing affection, even if it's quite unconventional."
Their tone was incredibly gentle, as if they were lovers talking, but their eyes and the meaning behind their words were undeniably chilling.
"Little monk, how did you find out?"
"Were you refining the Black Mountain Demon? You noticed when you came in."
"Oh! It seems I underestimated you. I shouldn't have come in person."
"Yes, thank you for coming so quickly."
"It doesn't matter, the outcome won't change anyway. Hmm? Little monk, are you absorbing the power of the Buddhist treasure?"
"Yeah, we can't just stand by and watch you absorb the Black Mountain Demon and then eat him, can we? We have to do something before that, don't we?"
"Little monk, you're going too far! Wouldn't it have been better if you just let me eat you peacefully?"
"Please, sister, you have such a great figure, please be more lenient. By the way, I'm going to increase the intensity now."
The two men stared at each other with smiles on their faces, but the murderous intent in their eyes grew stronger.
Li Su continuously drew upon the Buddhist energy within the Buddhist treasure, causing his Dao Fruit to glow. Both the Lotus and his Primordial Spirit stood upright. The Lotus Dao Fruit tightened its roots, and the Primordial Spirit Dao Fruit also revealed an unprecedented solemnity, both going all out to digest the power from the Buddhist treasure, rapidly replenishing themselves and propelling their realm growth. Seven, eight, nine flowers. Seven colors, eight colors, nine colors.
Li Su's supernatural powers are also evolving. Driven by the Dao Exposition and through the absorption of power, he is constantly advancing towards the level of perfection.
Grains of golden sand emerged, swirling around Li Su. Dragon-shaped Daoist auras appeared, rushing into the golden sand. Under this extreme pressure, crisis, and shadow of death, Li Su recklessly accelerated the development of his supernatural powers, no longer seeking perfection in a single aspect, but striving to reach the ultimate and manifest his boundless greatness.
The Buddha Land and the Punishment Tribulation were both rapidly sublimating, devouring everything and striving to become more solid, relentlessly moving towards the realm of perfection. The originally ethereal images in the Buddha Land were descending and becoming real, while the Black Light White Thunder formed by the Punishment Tribulation were becoming increasingly dazzling, radiating an astonishing aura of destruction.
Even the Longevity Formula, which wasn't used as an offensive weapon, began to change under the analysis of the Dao Exposition. The Black Tortoise Inscription on his kidneys shattered, transforming into the most fundamental water, the innate water. That water surged into the sky, constantly cleansing his body and making Li Su's body even stronger.
On the opposite side, Nie Xiaoqian's lower body began to turn pitch black, like dark, stagnant mud. This mud was filled with something terrifying; it wasn't simply black, but a murky mixture of countless colors constantly filling and confusing it. Just looking at it made one feel uneasy, chilling to the bone, trembling in the soul, as if their flesh and blood were being pulled away uncontrollably. It kept expanding, and a figure could be seen struggling frantically within the mud.
"Little monk, that's going too far." Nie Xiaoqian was a little angry because the Black Mountain Demon, who should have been suppressed, had awakened due to the large amount of Buddhist energy absorbed.
"There's no other way, we can't win if we don't do it this way!" Li Su said with a forced smile, but continued to accelerate the absorption of the Buddha's treasure's power.
"You wretched servant, you damned wretched servant, you bald monk, you damned bald monk!"
The roar suddenly rang out; it was the Black Mountain Demon, the arrogant Black Mountain Demon, who had awakened but found himself mired in a quagmire from which he could not extricate himself.
Suppressed by the power of Buddha, swallowed by the black mud.
Sensing what was happening to it, it went mad, roaring uncontrollably, its murderous intent earth-shattering, filled with boundless Wrath. It should have been the strongest being in this world, but now it was powerless, like the ants it usually looked down upon, about to be crushed.
Faced with the awakened Black Mountain Demon, Li Su and Nie Xiaoqian remained calmly gazing at each other, completely ignoring the Black Mountain Demon's futile struggles. From the moment he stepped into this place carrying Buddhist treasures, the protagonist of this world and this stage had nothing to do with him anymore.
"Ahhh, I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled! I won't!"
The sound grew weaker and weaker until it finally disappeared into the endless black mud beneath Nie Xiaoqian.
Somewhat overexerting herself, contrary to the original plan, Nie Xiaoqian was very unhappy. "Little monk, I'm very angry! I'm going to peel out your heart and liver, slice them thinly, and eat them bit by bit!"
Li Su smiled and nodded, offering her suggestion, "If you'd like, you can dip it in sauce. I think you could try chili oil first, then some sesame seeds."
"Yeah?"
"Yes!"
The two stared intently at each other until the aura of the Black Mountain Demon and the Buddhist treasures completely disappeared.
"Pure Land."
Golden light flashed in Li Su's eyes. His nine Lotus Dao Fruit trembled wildly at this moment. The nine nine-layered, nine-petaled Lotus were like a musical movement being played. Each petal was gently pulsating, and each pulsation was an immense force descending. In this instant, he was infinitely close to the Buddha in the mortal world.
" Myriad Grudges."
Nie Xiaoqian's body trembled slightly as a terrifying shadow churned beneath her. Within it, the Yin energy of the Taiyin swirled like gears, with countless vengeful ghosts and Fierce Ghost waving about, unleashing terrifying waves of hatred.
" Buddha Land! ( Soul Devouring!)"
The human and the ghost attacked simultaneously, unleashing their immense power and displaying their supernatural abilities to utterly annihilate their enemy.
Buzz!
On one side, a Buddha Land descended to earth, transforming into a vast world a thousand feet in size. Within it were Buddhas, Twin Sala Trees, and the long-ringing of a Buddha bell. Immeasurable light shone forth, and the water of the eight virtues emanated. Five hundred Arhats and three thousand Bhikkhunis chanted simultaneously!!!
One side, a Ghost Domain appeared, turning the world black. Within it, countless evil spirits roamed: hanged ghosts, starving ghosts, unjustly killed ghosts, headless ghosts, wailing ghosts, and ghosts who died unjustly. Thousands of ghost mothers, accompanied by tens of thousands of dead infants, wailed madly!
Like two opposing poles, in an instant, the entire Lanruo Temple, spanning thousands of square meters, became a place where hell and heaven intersected!
boom!!!
Like incompatible water and fire, they clashed at this moment, unleashing mutual destruction, as if to tear the heavens and earth apart.
The once vast Lanruo Temple is collapsing, torn apart at the most fundamental molecular and atomic level.
The dilapidated temple could not withstand this extreme conflict and was quickly crushed into ashes by the combined forces of the two. In an instant, apart from the less than ten square meters of space where the two stood, the entire Lanruo Temple was transformed into Otherworld, burned by the Buddha's light and swallowed by black mud.
The air vibrated. The Buddha Land Ghost Domain were two completely different directions, yet they were the same to the extreme. The supreme scriptures were colliding, and that was the Daoist rhythm, that was the great power.
Ten strikes, a thousand strikes, a hundred thousand strikes.
The terrifying collisions were endless, igniting or freezing the air. Even planktonic creatures could hardly survive between them, being swallowed up by their combined power.
Conflict, extreme conflict.
Their shared goal is to completely overwhelm each other, until not a trace remains.
The earth was shaking.
The sky is trembling.
At this moment, below the immortals, there is nothing above them!
