Xu Xiao's courtyard
On the chessboard in front of them, the black pieces had completely surrounded the white pieces, forming a checkmate situation.
Suddenly, the invisible thread of cause and effect shifted, and a golden light appeared on that white piece.
"Haha, you can't wait any longer?"
Xu Xiao looked at the chessboard and, through his consciousness, he could already see the strange changes happening to the Huixian monk Huixian.
If I'm not mistaken, it must be the entity behind him that directly used the other person's body to enter the game.
"However, why not take action yourself instead of relying on your successor? Is it because you disdain it? Or is it because you are unable to?"
Xu Xiao looked at the golden light on the chessboard and turned a white piece into gold in just a moment.
The golden piece appeared, and in an instant, the black piece's seemingly inescapable trap was forcibly broken.
If the player himself enters the game, without providing support, those three pieces alone will not be enough to defeat the opponent.
"Since you're willing to participate, should I discard these three pieces, or should I come down and challenge you myself?"
"Is the Mahavairocana the Mahavairocana I've imagined?"
Xu Xiao stroked his chin, somewhat conflicted, unsure whether to make a move or abandon the situation.
He came here to test the attitude of the immortals and Buddhas, to see if these beings outside of fate would be drawn into the chaotic development, and now it seems they will.
However, it wasn't the kind of direct intervention; it was more about subtly intervening by projecting some power.
To be honest, Xu Xiao wasn't very satisfied with this result.
He needs to clearly understand whether these entities are unwilling or unable to personally intervene to correct the situation, as this will determine his future actions.
Furthermore, this world is said to have been created by the Goddess Nüwa. How is it different from the worlds born in the Sea of Worlds?
"Sigh! I'm still not strong enough. If I were strong enough, I wouldn't need to worry about these things; I could just charge right in."
Xu Xiao rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, but ultimately made up his mind.
"I'll play along with you. We've been idle in this world for so long, all for the sake of a result. It's time to stretch our muscles a bit."
The figure of Xu Xiao appeared behind Xu Xuanpin, and then transformed into a golden chess piece that fell into Xu Xiao's hand.
"I'll just send a clone to play with you for now, Mahavairocana. Let's see if you're truly that being."
As the golden chess piece fell from his hand, each of the black pieces beside it was tinged with a golden glow.
At the same time, after the Huixian used the secret method, it Mahavairocana Tathagata possessed him.
In the midst of a battle between mortals, the divine thought of a Buddha suddenly descended, and even though it was only a wisp, the situation instantly underwent a dramatic change.
Evil Duan Lang, Sword Saint of Intent Sword, and Jian Chen Demonic Enlightenment—these individuals, considered among the highest levels of human martial artists, couldn't even last a minute before a Buddha.
As if swatting flies, Huixian, possessed by the Buddha, simply waved his hand and knocked several people down, then grabbed Duan Lang nearby.
"Despite not being a chosen one, he managed to defy fate and reach this point."
Huixian Duan Lang by the collar, and God sense from the gods penetrated into Duan Lang's body, probing his true nature.
"Ha! You think you can bully me just because you've overpowered me? Who says only the chosen one can reach this level? I've already done it, haven't I? Heh!"
Duan Lang glared at Huixian, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
What he hates most is fate, and what he cares about most is fate.
As a child, because of the matter of Wind and Cloud destiny, he hated that he wasn't the so-called destined person.
Having finally encountered the system, he believed himself to be the one favored by heaven and earth, only to be rejected by others.
If he weren't outmatched, he would have loved to tear the monk in front of him apart and eat his flesh.
Huixian ignored Duan Lang, searching Divine Sense body for powers that did not belong to this world.
"Found it! It's actually Daoist magic, but... something's not right!"
Huixian threw Duan Lang away, then quickly retreated to a safe distance before raising her hand to check.
The palms, which had previously appeared to be covered in gold lacquer, now shimmered with iridescent colors, like precious jewels.
Just now, when he was exploring the power within Duan Lang's body, he had just touched the core power and was immediately subjected to a backlash of the same level.
Fortunately, he retreated quickly, and the force only affected the surface, without causing further contamination.
However, looking at the corrosive power on her hand, Huixian read aloud, word by word:
"Extraterrestrial Demon!"
"You lot have indeed been corrupted by the extraterrestrial demons!"
The existence of Huixian Xian confirms that Wind and Cloud does not possess this power, so the only explanation is that it was brought by the extraterrestrial demons.
Moreover, judging from the nature of its power, it is exactly the opposite of the Buddhist Sect.
"What extraterrestrial demon? Aren't you also possessing a monk, and using the opportunity of spreading your religion to influence this world?"
Xu Xuanpin's voice came from Duan Lang's mouth; at this moment, he had taken over Duan Lang's body.
Based on their brief encounter, the other party was indeed a God, but not the Mahavairocana that Xu Xiao had imagined.
The difference in strength is too great!
Xu Xiao used Xu Xuanpin to test the other party's true strength. If it was indeed the Mahavairocana he imagined, he would recall the clone without hesitation and run away.
However, although I could feel the vastness of Buddhism during our recent contact, I did not experience that kind of pure, overwhelming power.
According to Xu Xiao's estimation, if the opponent is the real Mahavairocana, then he is at least a being that surpasses the First Firmament being of Marvel's Creator God, which is enough to completely overwhelm him in terms of status.
'Is it a clone that Daluo has sealed away? Or is it merely an incarnation of a thought, or simply a clone with the same name?'
Through the clone's senses, Xu Xiao guessed the identity of the Mahavairocana.
Looking back now, it's true. If the other party really was the Mahavairocana, then there would be no need to keep getting entangled in the Wind and Cloud World.
That being is absolutely a being that reflects all the heavens; wherever there is Buddhism, there is him. It is impossible for him to covet such a world.
Besides, although the true Goddess Nüwa Mahavairocana a level below Nuwa, a mere world is nothing special in the eyes of those beings.
Therefore, based on the above, Xu Xiao felt it was worth a shot to see what the other side was up to.
