"Good! You're very good! Excellent!!"
Guanyin practically uttered those words through gritted teeth.
On the surface, Xu Xiao's behavior was not inappropriate, after all, there are many naturally born beings in the Three Realms and Heavens.
To prevent these naturally born beings from being deceived or falling into evil ways, the Heavenly Court does indeed have a rule that these beings can be enlightened upon encountering them.
Just now, Xu Xiao ignored His objections and contacted the Stone Monkey, and now he's even directly enlightened the Stone Monkey in front of Him. Who would believe he's not here to cause trouble for the Western Sect?
Anyway, Guanyin herself doesn't believe it!
Although Buddhist Sect is all about compassion, it also has its wrathful aspects!
Guanyin Bodhisattva is not to be trifled with!
He pinched the willow branch in the Jade Purification Vase and flicked it, sending a few drops of nectar flying towards Xu Xiao.
The sweet dew that used to alleviate the suffering of all beings now exudes a strong killing intent.
An aura of Oblivion flowed from a few drops of nectar; once touched, even one's own Great Dao would be corroded.
Clearly, Guanyin was planning to take drastic measures. Since reason didn't prevail, she directly started lecturing Xu Xiao on physics!
Faced with such an attack, Xu Xiao unleashed his long-prepared Magic Power, his hands forming a sword incantation while his mouth rapidly chanted a secret spell:
" Zhenwu Heaven, lend me your power of thunder!"
"One edict, like the wind, cleaves the clouds above the palace; two edicts, like fire, temper the sword's peak."
"Third edicts descend from the heavens, unleashing a thunderous tribulation that wipes out all demons, never to return!"
Although he had no sword, Xu Xiao himself exuded an endless sharpness, his hands forming a sword incantation, using his fingers as a substitute for a sword.
A bolt of purple lightning suddenly erupted in the sky and fell into Xu Xiao's hand.
In the blink of an eye, a purplish-red sword light, imbued with the power of thunder, the ability to slay demons, and the power to destroy monsters, took shape at Xu Xiao's fingertip, with a subtle Power of Variables silently attaching to it.
There was no time to hesitate; facing a powerful being like Guanyin, Xu Xiao had no choice but to go all out.
He poured all his abilities into it, hoping only to withstand one blow.
He knew that as long as he blocked one attack, he wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
No matter how powerful Guanyin is, she has no right to rule the Three Realms. She is a righteous god of the Heavenly Court. To attack a righteous god of the Heavenly Court without cause, even a Bodhisattva of the Western Sect would have to give the Heavenly Court an explanation.
Xu Xiao's plan was already in motion when Guanyin realized she had fallen into a trap, which made her even more furious.
"How dare you!"
"You think you can outsmart me? At worst, I'll just kill you, apologize, and close my temple. I'll make sure you're utterly destroyed!"
In an instant, Guanyin revealed her true form, with Senju blooming behind her, and boundless Buddhist light shining behind her.
At the same time, a series of deep chanting sounds rang out all around. This was the ' Great Compassion Heart Dharani Mantra,' a mantra that was once used to save all sentient beings, but now it had become a demonic sound that directly destroyed Xu Xiao's mind.
Xu Xiao was momentarily dazed, feeling as if his very soul was being affected, as if it were about to quietly leave his physical body and return to the Western Paradise along with the chanting of the Buddha.
Gritting my teeth and persevering, the illusion was briefly suppressed, but the splashing nectar was already upon me.
At this moment, the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be released; even if he couldn't win, Xu Xiao had to take action.
"Kill him!!!"
A crimson sword light fell from his fingertips, colliding with the splashing nectar and the boundless Buddhist light.
Great sound!
The world fell silent. The golden-haired Stone Monkey had already quietly run down the mountain, but now, feeling a pang of emotion, it turned back to look at the mountain.
Where the two beams of light collided, it was as if a second sun had risen, making it almost impossible to look directly at them.
The next second, the sun, created by the clash of multiple principles and forces, suddenly contracted and turned into a single point.
This is not mutual Oblivion, but a collapse process that will release infinite energy after the energy clashes.
In an instant, the dot rapidly expanded, and boundless power was about to be released from it.
"Have you all made enough of a scene?"
Just as the dot was about to unleash its boundless energy, a giant hand covered in starlight reached out from the void and extinguished it.
Immediately afterwards, the bright daylight transformed into a star-studded night sky, and the reversal of day and night was completed in an instant.
The countless stars formed a majestic face, watching over the two from the starry sky.
"Heavenly Venerable!" "Heavenly Venerable!"
Both sides in the battle bowed in greeting.
One person was happy, while the other had a bitter expression on their face.
" The Heavenly Court Laws stipulate that anyone who fights in the mortal realm without cause shall be punished with lightning and fire. Xu Zhi Cao, you have just taken office; have you not thoroughly studied the Heavenly Court Laws?"
The star-studded woman immediately brought up her own people, but Xu Xiao was not afraid at all.
He had a legitimate reason, and acted entirely in accordance with the rules of heaven.
"Reporting to the Northern Emperor Heavenly Venerable, this humble god was forced into this situation. It was the Bodhisattva of the Western Sect who attacked first, and I was only acting in self-defense."
"There is causal regression recorded in the All-Heavens Star Mirror a historical record) as evidence."
As he spoke, Xu Xiao took out the All-Heavens Star Mirror, and then a ray of starlight shot into it from the sky.
It directly reveals the entire process of Xu Xiao descending to the mortal realm to inspect the strange phenomena of Flower-Fruit Mountain, being stopped by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then confronting and fighting each other.
Because it is a causal retrospective, even the voices and appearances of both parties are recorded clearly, leaving no room for denial.
Guanyin, standing to the side, was as black as ink. She knew she was in the wrong, but she never expected that after all these years, she would be outsmarted by someone using such a low-level method.
At this moment, the Great Emperor Ziwei high in the sky remained as businesslike as ever, fixing his gaze on Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Fellow Guanyin, do you have anything to say about what I, your subordinate, have said?"
As the author of the Northern Emperor's Black Law, the Great Emperor Ziwei's reputation for severity resounded throughout the Three Realms, even putting Guanyin under immense pressure.
With the evidence laid bare, even if He wanted to use words to exonerate Him, He couldn't find any way to get to the bottom of it.
Could it be that I'm hindering your Heavenly Court Officials' basic duty of patrolling in order to advance the Western Sect's Journey to the West expansion?
Just kidding! There are some things that everyone knows, but you can only do them, not say them.
Everyone knows that the variable of the Journey to the Westward Calamity lies with the Lingming Stone Monkey who was born to face the calamity, but before the calamity begins, no one can openly attack him.
Xu Xiao's actions were covered by the rules of inspecting celestial phenomena; what right does Guanyin have?
