Jiang Che and Puxin were locked in a struggle within the realm of the mind.
Or rather, Jiang Che was taking a one-sided beating.
Puxin attacked, and Jiang Che defended-with extreme difficulty.
Puxin's mastery of the evil version of the [Bodhi Heart Lamp] surpassed his by far more than a little.
Jiang Che had practiced this method for far too short a time. He had only truly lit his lamp today. Techniques that attacked the mind were something he had never encountered before, leaving him no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on.
Fortunately, a thread of hope remained.
Although Puxin was attacking his mind, in reality, Hu Yan and Zhao Bo were also assaulting him from both front and rear. He could not afford to let his guard down too much. Dividing his attention to this extent was already a testament to his strength, but he could hardly commit his full power, lest Hu Yan's blazing saber actually strike him. That could prove fatal, too.
Jiang Che, by contrast, had fellow disciples protecting him in reality, shielding him from the danger of blades outside. Though his mind and soul trembled, he could devote all his energy to the mental struggle.
With those advantages and disadvantages balancing out, he barely managed to hold on.
But this was no lasting solution. If it dragged on, his own heart lamp would probably go out first!
Jiang Che gritted his teeth, and another wisp of [primordial origin first spirit] exploded within him!
As the [Bodhi Heart Lamp] circulated, an entirely different current of energy emerged: [Sarira sandalwood chant essence]!
The moment this wisp of energy appeared, it was rapidly consumed, but the effect it bought was truly astonishing.
The heart lamp blazed!
The false memories flooding in from every direction burned
