The thing that Du'e Luohan regretted most in his life was that he didn't bring Xu Qi'an back to the Western Regions that day.

Although Xu Qi'an's theories on Mahayana Buddhism enlightened Du'e, giving him a profound awakening and elevating his understanding from self-cultivation to the cultivation of all sentient beings, his spiritual realm was also elevated.

Although the Arhat Du'e called Xu Qi'an a disciple of Buddha, ultimately, he did not value him enough.

Therefore, with the obstruction of the supervisor and the Great Feng court, and after Xu Qi'an made it clear that he did not wish to join the Buddhist School, Du'e gave up the idea of taking on a disciple and hurriedly returned to the Western Regions to become the founder of Mahayana Buddhism.

Although the consent of the Bodhisattvas Guangxian and Liuli was obtained afterward, allowing the latter to personally go to Great Feng to lead the people.

But by then, Xu Qi'an was no longer the same person he used to be.

After the turmoil in the capital, the Buddhist School took advantage of his travels to collect dragon energy and dispatched Dharma Protectors and Arhats to the Central Plains to capture him, but their attempt backfired.

After that, the Buddhist School quieted down, and even Guangxian and Du'e, who advocated Mahayana Buddhism, never mentioned the matter again.

The Arhat Du'e often thought that if he had brought him back to Buddhist School that day, Mahayana Buddhism would now be flourishing all over the Western Regions.

The Buddhist School ideals and doctrines will surely spread throughout the land.

Meanwhile, Du'e Luohan looked at the Demon Race aura had suddenly surged, and at the young man who was wielding a robe made of flames.

There will be no Xu Yinluo in the Central Plains, but there will be a Buddhist disciple of unparalleled talent in the Western Regions.

"Now is the best opportunity to seal Asura, but sealing a top-tier powerhouse takes time. Before that, I will be affected by the 'Sleeping Curse,' turning into a drowsy, lazy bum."

Xu Qi'an gazed at the two human heads and the panda head side by side in the distance and sighed regretfully.

Whether their heads are severed or their bodies are torn to pieces, these are minor injuries to Demon Race and martial artists at the Transcendent Realm.

Asura and Du'e, wanting to bully the weak, first sealed away a demon king, only to fall right into the Demon Race race's trap.

Once the Bear King's domain expands, all living beings within it will fall into a deep slumber.

Asura was a top-tier Buddhist School expert. Although he was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyelids open, he was still able to maintain a degree of clarity, though he was too weak to push his head back down.

For Xu Qi'an's side, using a third-grade demon king to hold off a second-grade and third-grade demon king was undoubtedly a huge win.

Without exchanging glances, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and Xu Qi'an launched their attack simultaneously. One of them swooped down like a comet, crashing into the Zen formation composed of 108 Zen masters.

A figure rose against the sky, and the national sword burst forth with dazzling light, like a blazing sun rising rapidly into the sky.

Buzz!

Both of them were simultaneously blocked by a pale golden light barrier.

One hundred and eight Zen masters sat cross-legged in the void, like a still oil painting, not moving an inch, not even the hem of their robes swaying.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The fox-eared enchantress with silver hair as white as frost pounded her fists incessantly against the light screen, her nine fox tails extending behind her like nine tentacles, pounding with all her might.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Xu Qi'an's muscles swelled, transforming him into an eight-foot-tall "giant." With the power of the Force Gu amplified, he swung his sword and cleaved through the light barrier.

The attacks of Demon Race and warriors are simple and unadorned, but the violence contained in their simple fists, kicks, swords, and blades can easily destroy the extraordinary physical bodies of other systems.

The light barrier formed by the Zen masters finally began to shake noticeably under the violent attacks of the two extraordinary experts.

All 108 Zen masters frowned, as if they had suffered some kind of injury.

Seeing this, the Arhat Du'e clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name:

"Put down your butcher's knife."

Under the pressure of his superior rank, Xu Qi'an's grip loosened, and he almost lost his hold on the Zhenguo Sword, feeling an extreme aversion to weapons.

Du'e Luohan immediately looked at the nine-tailed celestial fox, a perfect blend of violence and beauty, and rapidly made hand gestures, shouting:

"Town!"

A seven-colored halo suddenly lit up behind his head.

The nine-tailed celestial fox's tail was violently blasted back, scattering in all directions. Her body was like porcelain, covered in cracks, and blood stained her fair skin.

The Arhat Du'e was still "biased." He imposed the precepts on Xu Qi'an to wear down his fighting spirit, while he used the great power of the Killer's Fruit on the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, directly breaking the princess of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons's solid and immortal body.

In just a moment, the crack-like wounds were completely healed.

The next moment, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's skin cracked open again with spiderweb-like wounds, repeating this cycle five times before the power of the Thief-Slaying Fruit was exhausted.

Among the three stages of Buddhist School, the stage of killing thieves is known for its power of killing. It locks onto the enemy and fights relentlessly until its power is exhausted.

It can not only break through the physique of martial artists of the same level, but also continuously deplete their Qi and Blood, and vitality.

Xu Qi'an and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox immediately launched a second offensive, attempting to break the Zen formation by force, but this was thwarted by the Arhat of Salvation.

The wounds on the nine-tailed celestial fox healed and then burst open again, bursting open and then healing once more.

"Buddhist School meditation is a simplified version of the 'Acala's Dharma form, emphasizing immobility. After entering samadhi, one is free from self and other, becoming one with the universe. One can go without eating, drinking, or sleeping, and is not afraid of external evils or attacks from enemies."

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox transmitted its voice:

"Du'e, with his status as a second-grade Arhat, has gathered these 108 Zen masters to form a Zen formation. Even if they don't resist, it will still take us a lot of effort to break through this formation."

It turns out that the upgraded version of Zen Kung Fu is "Acala's Dharma Image". Acala's Dharma Image is also a defensive technique, but with a different meaning of defense than Vajra Dharma Image. Xu Qi'an frowned, and for no reason thought of the Garuda Bodhisattva in Yunzhou.

That powerful figure cultivates both the "Immovable King Dharma Form" and the "Invincible Vajra Dharma Form," stacking armor to an absurd degree. I wonder if the supervisor can even harm him.

"This is indeed a tricky situation. Does Your Majesty have any ideas?"

Xu Qi'an replied telepathically.

The saying goes, "The one who understands you best is your enemy." Applying this to Buddhist School, the one who understands a bald monk best is undoubtedly the Southern Demon.

He believed that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox would definitely have a way to deal with it.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox laughed:

"As I just said, Zen practice emphasizes 'immobility.' When the Arhat of Salvation attacks us, he will automatically break out of the Zen state. This is when the Zen formation is at its weakest."

"With my strength, I cannot break a Zen formation presided over by a second-rank Arhat, but breaking a Zen formation composed of one hundred and eight Zen masters is no problem at all."

With my own strength, I could break the Zen formation, but when the Arhat of Salvation made his move, one of us was affected by the precepts and the other was attacked by the power of killing the enemy, so we couldn't spare any hands to break the formation. Non-Self can shield myself from the influence of the precepts.

However, this is impossible. Neither the Daoist School Golden Core nor the Vast Righteous Qi can withstand the precepts of a Second-Rank Arhat, unless Zhao Shou or Daoist School Yang Spirit personally arrives.

As he pondered, Xu Qi'an suddenly had a brilliant idea.

A small, exquisite, dark golden pagoda emerged from his arms and hovered above his head.

Atop the tower appears a Buddha statue, smiling and holding a flower, with a halo symbolizing wisdom behind its head.

"Pagoda!"

The Arhat of Du'e sensed this Buddhist School Law Treasure, looked over, and frowned slightly.

Xu Qi'an shouted:

"Du'e Luohan, this demoness leads her demon soldiers to slaughter Buddhist School disciples and attack Buddhist School cities. She is always thinking about restoring her kingdom."

"If she doesn't die, the Southern Frontier will never be at peace. If she doesn't die, the Demon Race will never be satisfied. Quickly, kill her!"

At the top of the pagoda, the image of the Great Wisdom Buddha has its halo reversed behind its head.

After hearing these words, Du'e Luohan felt as if he had been enlightened. His anger towards the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox reached its peak, and he regarded her as a major threat to the Demon Race and an enemy he would kill at all costs.

He immediately clasped his hands together and performed the precepts:

"Be compassionate!"

With just four simple words, the beautiful enchantress's murderous intent and ferocity vanished, leaving her stunningly beautiful face momentarily dazed.

Seizing the opportunity, the wisdom halo behind Du'e Luohan's head shone with unprecedented brilliance. He raised his palm and slammed it down.

In the night sky, a Buddha's palm, tens of feet long, materialized, its brilliant golden light illuminating the city wall below.

The nine-tailed fox, in a state of confusion, felt no desire to resist; instead, she was filled with compassion and willingly faced death.

Boom!

She was slammed down from the sky by the Buddha's palm, crashing onto the hard rocks, causing an earthquake to shake the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

Seizing the opportunity, Xu Qi'an collapsed all his aura, suppressed all his emotions, and turned his Dantian into a black hole, devouring the energy in his body.

The blade, thin as a thread and bright as day, rose again, carrying the power to annihilate everything. It cleaved through the formation, which had lost its second-rank Arhat presiding and now consisted of only one hundred and eight Zen masters, from bottom to top.

The golden light covering the Zen masters' bodies dissipated, turning into light dust that scattered in all directions.

One hundred and eight Zen masters fell like rain.

The formation is broken!

Xu Qi'an, who had been in the limelight, originally wanted to repeat his old trick and create a robe from flames, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Special effects cannot be repeated, otherwise it will seem like he has run out of ideas. He sighed inwardly, having not yet come up with a new set of special effects.

On a section of the city wall, Ye Ji slaughtered all the surrounding guards and warrior monks, her claws stained with blood.

Realizing the formation had been broken, she turned around abruptly and saw Xu Qi'an standing in mid-air with his sword in hand.

"Snort!"

A cold snort came from beside her. Kiyohime, holding a green sword, looked at Yoru with disdain and said:

"You broke your sisterly pact and secretly fell in love with a human man."

Ye Ji smiled sweetly:

"An agreement? Do you have a written agreement?"

"I've fallen in love with a human man, so what? Are you jealous? Jealous that my man is a true hero."

Kiyohime looked at her proud and self-satisfied face and spat.

"This lecherous slut who falls for every girl he sees, does he even deserve my jealousy?"

Both women had their faces veiled by light gauze, and their foxy eyes were almost identical. They had curvaceous figures and different temperaments, but both were exceptionally beautiful.

Night Princess laughed.

She wouldn't tell this woman who loved to cook that chicken bouillon was invented by Xu Qi'an.

Although the Empress said that as long as all nine sisters fall in love with him, Xu Qi'an will be the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, who cares if he becomes the prince consort?

On the other side, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox floated into the air, its silver hair stained with sticky blood, one fox ear drooping, looking extremely disheveled.

The nine fox tails swept, slashed, or coiled, instantly killing the falling Zen masters.

"You stinky man!"

She transmitted her voice through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, listen to my excuses!" Xu Qi'an smiled and transmitted his voice.

"Between you and me, who is more capable of disrupting the Zen formation? Although the light wheel of the Great Wisdom Dharma Image can reverse, the wisdom of the person being observed by the Dharma Image will also reverse, but Du'e is, after all, an Arhat."

"If he forces himself to abandon you and deal with me, and then realizes something is wrong and breaks free from the effects of the reversal of intelligence, we'll suffer a greater loss."

The Great Wisdom Dharma Image is one of the most powerful abilities of the Stupa, left behind by Bodhisattva Faji.

Although it's certainly not as good as the original, it can still have a temporary effect on a second-grade Arhat.

As he spoke, Xu Qi'an manipulated the Floating Pagoda, causing the "Pharmacist's Image" to appear, and the jade bottle scattered fragments of light to help the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox eliminate the power that killed the villain.

The nine-tailed celestial fox, having received nourishment, radiated beauty, and its aura did not decline, demonstrating its profound foundation and exceptional resilience.

As a member of the Demon Race, she is qualified.

The Arhat Du'e sat cross-legged in the void, looking compassionately at the deceased Zen master, and softly chanted the Buddha's name:

"Please, Bodhisattva, intervene and save the lives of my Buddhist School disciples."

As soon as he finished speaking, he crushed one of the prayer beads hanging around his neck.

Golden light, like fireflies, meandered through the air, coalescing into the image of a young monk wearing a red and yellow robe. He appeared to be underage, with a youthful face.

His gaze was compassionate and merciful, as if he loved everything in the world.

"Amitabha!"

The young monk clasped his hands together, bowed his head, and chanted Buddhist mantras.

A colossal Buddhist artifact materialized behind him; it was a golden wheel with a swastika at its center and the characters for "heaven, human, asura, animal, hungry ghost, and hell" inscribed around its edge.

The wheel is enormous, like a waterwheel, cast in gold, and exudes a heavy metallic feel.

The roulette wheel slowly turned.

A scene that defied common sense unfolded: the 108 Zen masters who had just been killed by the nine celestial foxes opened their eyes and sat up in a daze.

On the city walls and below, the corpses that had been lying there sat up, looking around blankly.

These people and demons who had died in battle have all been resurrected.

The resurrected beings do not include the dead whose souls were scattered.

"The Dharma Image of the Great Cycle of Reincarnation"

Xu Qi'an heard the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox speak in a solemn tone.
