The Bitter Zen Devil Buddha was right.
Although Daoism and Buddhism have some things in common, they are ultimately two completely different paths.
Their beliefs are different, and the paths they follow are completely different.
Forcing a fusion under these circumstances will only cause conflict and potentially lead to a severe backlash!
At best, it will result in serious injury; at worst, it will lead to the complete destruction of one's cultivation path!
Therefore, when Ning Chenxin forcibly merged his Dao Rhyme with the Buddhist light, a blue lotus appeared in the world.
Not only did the expression of the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha change drastically, but even the Buddha's disciples were caught in a state of shock and uncertainty.
Chu Yan comes from Heaven Beyond Heaven.
Although he neither practiced Daoism nor Buddhism, Chu Yan was still quite knowledgeable and well-versed in the differences between the two paths.
It can be said that even in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, no cultivator has ever been seen who could fuse these two paths.
Hong Ying revealed a knowing smile.
Ning Chenxin is usually too low-key, so much so that he has never shown much of his strength in public.
Only the fellow disciples of Cottage truly understood just how fierce and powerful Ning Chenxin's deeds were.
He once single-handedly entered the Buddhist Sect to question the Heavenly God!
However, the one who understands Ning Chenxin's strength best is Hong Ying. Although she has been spreading the Dao all these years, the Cloud Phoenix Empire's path of conquest is never smooth sailing, and Ning Chenxin has contributed a lot to it.
This was the first time Jiu Bailu had seen Ning Chenxin unleash his full power, and she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "So Senior Brother Ning is this strong... and the causal threads on his body are no simpler than yours."
Mu Fusheng shrugged and said, "None of my fellow disciples are simple."
How could one possibly be simple and mediocre under the Master's guidance?
Seeing that Ning Chenxin's face was somewhat pale but showed no signs of being harmed by the backlash, the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha's expression turned ugly.
"How exactly did you do that?"
The forced fusion of two completely different paths was something no one present had ever heard of before!
Even the Buddhist disciple stared at Ning Chenxin with a puzzled expression.
Ning Chenxin held the Dao Scripture, which was already turned to the page on the World-Purifying Incantation, and said calmly, "You betrayed the Buddhist heart in pursuit of power, yet how do you know that 'the Dao has no boundaries'?"
The Dao has no boundaries, and its teachings change with the circumstances.
This is the Dao that Ning Chenxin has come to understand through years of preaching and countless experiences.
It can be said that the path Ning Chenxin cultivates is inherently capable of encompassing all things.
If the foundation of the Dao remains unchanged, it can adapt to and change in accordance with the changes of other Daos.
The Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity.
"The Tao has no boundaries..." the Buddhist disciple exclaimed in amazement. "I never imagined that Benefactor Ning had already reached such a realm."
Upon hearing this, the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha flew into a rage, sneering, "So what? Even if Buddhist Dao are combined, how could you possibly be my match?"
Having said that, the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha showed no more mercy.
With his hands forming a mudra, the countless wronged souls were instantly absorbed into the hands of the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha.
The hands, bound by black qi, vengeful spirits, and endless karma, were like demonic claws, tearing apart the surrounding void and grabbing at Ning Chenxin!
The devil's claws swelled with the wind, yet they had not yet captured Ning Chenxin.
Ning Chenxin could feel an overwhelming karmic force eroding his body!
It was as if countless unseen vengeful spirits were entwined around Ning Chenxin, constantly trying to break through her Ning Chenxin with their howling cries.
Ning Chenxin frowned slightly, his hands formed a mudra, and he uttered continuous chanting Vast Righteous Qi and golden Buddhist light intertwined and flowed around Ning Chenxin like a star ring.
The vast blue light transformed into a long river of scrolls, surging towards the clutches of karma.
It seems that Ning Chenxin's realm of understanding is far different from that of the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha.
However, at this moment, the vast blue light seemed very similar to the power of the karmic claw.
Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha, the vast blue light poured wildly onto the Karmic Demon's claws.
It only lasted for a moment.
A sizzling sound appeared, and the thousands of wronged souls wrapped around the demonic claws immediately let out tragic howls.
The vast blue light seemed to have an extremely strong restraining effect on the countless wronged souls, and the wronged souls on the demon's claws were dying at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Upon seeing this, the expression of the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha changed.
Just now, Ning Chenxin and the Buddhist disciple couldn't withstand his evil formation when they joined forces, but now, he actually blocked the vengeful spirit's claws, which were unleashed at full power?
Moreover, judging from the current situation, if this drags on for a long time, it seems that I am at a disadvantage.
This is something that neither the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha can accept under any circumstances.
If Xu Youming and the others were still here, they would probably be horrified.
It should be noted that the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha was a powerful figure of their time.
Moreover, the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha was a top figure who survived the entire Buddhist Sect's pursuit.
Yet, this very person showed signs of weakness in front of a junior like Ning Chenxin, the Buddhist disciple?
With a furious roar, the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha crossed his demonic claws, which were entangled with countless wronged souls, in front of his chest, and a dark light began to burn between his brows!
These are relics belonging to the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha!
For Buddhist practitioners, relics are no less important than the Dantian).
Bitter Zen Devil Buddha, was born into a Buddhist lineage and was a prodigy in the Buddhist Sect, so it's normal for him to possess relics.
However, the relics of the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha are completely different from those of the Buddha's disciples, as the karmic force within them is far too profound.
Even just by releasing it, one can feel an extremely evil and murderous power sweeping across the land!
Countless karmic burdens Demonization.
The demonic claws, which had initially shown signs of weakness, suddenly began to devour the power of the Azure Lotus!
The Buddhist disciple's eyes widened in alarm as he looked at Ning Chenxin, thinking, "He used all his karma from his entire life to attack; this karmic force is beyond our cultivation level to withstand!"
Ning Chenxin raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not speak. She only saw that the overwhelming karmic force's gaze gradually darkened.
Such heavy karma.
How many people must have been killed and how many despicable acts committed to reach this point?
Thinking of this, a trace of pity appeared in Ning Chenxin's eyes.
"Unforgivable!" came a soft shout.
Ning Chenxin made a hand Hand Seals with one hand and held the Dao Scripture the other.
A vast expanse of white light surged forth, merging entirely into the blue lotus.
Seeing this, the Buddhist disciple said nothing more, but the golden light of the Bodhi Dharma image behind him shone brightly, merging with the vast white light!
The power of the Azure Lotus grew stronger and stronger.
The vast blue light seemed to permeate the entire fourth level, even enveloping the golden statue of Chief Cihang, suspended in the dome.
And the moment the vast blue light enveloped the golden body of the first figure.
The endless karma from the crack in his chest began to howl!
At the heart of karma, a beam of golden light burst forth.
The Bitter Zen Devil Buddha looked up in surprise, his face turning ugly as he witnessed this scene.
Everyone looked over.
The golden light broke through the karmic barrier, and a relic radiating golden light appeared!
It was the radiant blue light that allowed this relic to appear in the world!
The Bitter Zen Devil Buddha ignored Ning Chenxin and the Buddhist disciple, and grinned maliciously, "The relics are mine!"
After speaking, he leaped forward and rushed directly towards the relic!
At the moment when he was about to grasp the relic.
The relic emitted a burst of Buddhist light, which directly shocked the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha!
When the Bitter Zen Devil Buddha stood still on the ground and looked again, he found that the relic had already floated in front of Ning Chenxin.
The relic recognizes its master!
But... the Buddhist Dao and Daoist relics actually recognized a junior practitioner of Confucian Dao as their master?
