Bodhisattvas Lowered Their Gaze for Me

Even the former Dragon Flower Cult Leader in the Ming Dynasty, despite losing five internal organs due to the favor of the Longhua Cult, was able to transform into Evil Spirit and exist for hundreds of years.

As the national advisor during the Great Yuan Dynasty, King Shouluo was not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also had a large number of capable subordinates. At that time, he could mobilize countless resources.

Although he had no way to remain active in the world for hundreds of years, he had a way to remain in slumber without transforming into Evil Spirit, and wait for the era of the Spirit Realm's revival.

If he had made proper arrangements, the thoughts he had intentionally or unintentionally released during his slumber over the past few centuries would have accumulated into a vast foundation.

After being chosen by the Grotto-Heaven, although it seemed like he had broken through the Taboo ahead of time, he did not actually cross the threshold by relying on his own methods.

This prevents his post-breakthrough state from fully aligning with the foundation he built before the breakthrough, allowing him to reach his full potential.

Moreover, during the period of slumber in the Grotto-Heaven, the Seven Souls experts are completely unconscious. When they occasionally awaken, they are still restrained, and the effect of studying the cultivation technique is limited.

Even if one becomes the soul of Grotto-Heaven, in the eyes of someone like the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, it would only be a larger and more deeply entangled burden.

Conversely, if one could seize Chu Tianshu's physical and mental foundation through the "Great Phowa Empowerment".

A person who can break Taboo at such a young age has an absurdly high level of potential.

At that time, the Great Yuan Dynasty will be able to bypass the restrictions of the Grotto-Heaven and leave Mount Busan. He will be as great as a divine dragon and as small as an earthworm, hiding his true form and Dongshan.

"Therefore, I truly do not intend to destroy you, body and soul."

The Great Yuan Dynasty suddenly stopped, standing still in the side hall, his body equidistant from the murals on both sides. His robes were gradually hanging down, and his fists were loosely clenched, giving him a mysterious charm.

"Do you want to try to use this to gain an advantage in the battle?"

One is reckless, while the other wants to preserve the other's body; the former naturally has the advantage.

However, if you really want to take advantage of the opponent holding back to create an advantage for yourself, you've already put yourself at a psychological disadvantage.

Chu Tianshu simply smiled and said, "I was just curious."

"However, your boxing skills are truly excellent."

When he said this, his tone was much more leisurely, almost like someone standing under the shade of trees, gazing at a long road ahead, anticipating the arrival of guests.

"If I killed such a master without exchanging a single word with him from beginning to end, it would definitely be a bit of a pity in retrospect."

"How about this, let's exchange our cultivation techniques first?"

"You sent out three bubbles just to test our moves, right? I'll just trade them with you and show you. You should give me your secret techniques too."

Chu Tianshu said these words sincerely.

As he gained more experience, he made more friends and fought more enemies, and sometimes he felt more regret.

Just recently, Chu Tianshu really wanted to study Zhao Qinglang's finger techniques, Wolf Head's swordsmanship, and the Sect Leader Yeming's Miaoyin.

They deserved to die, but the principles contained within their martial arts were not guilty.

The Great Yuan Dynasty truly sensed his sincerity and couldn't help but smile.

"I thought I was arrogant enough in my life, but you're even more arrogant..."

His voice suddenly amplified, like a celestial being singing and an army shouting in unison.

"Mad!"

The word "madness" caused a slight tremor throughout the entire Kṣitigarbha Temple, affecting all the statues of Bodhisattvas and Arhats, as well as the halls and pavilions.

The golden bronze statue of Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva in the main hall was covered with a layer of dust that was not usually cleaned thoroughly, making it look as clean as new and radiant with Buddhist light.

The large statues in the square in front of the hall, and the smaller Buddha statues behind the hall, are all like this.

King Shouluo was in a side hall, yet the atmosphere of the entire mountaintop temple became remarkably similar to that of the surrounding environment.

Although the murals on both sides have an ancient charm, they were originally just paintings in a side hall and ultimately did not belong to the mainstream.

At this moment, all the images of monks on the murals seemed to have benefited from King Shouluo's influence, becoming even more vibrant and bright.

As the Great Yuan Dynasty uttered the word "mad," he suddenly thrust his left hand into the mural.

The finger landed to his left rear.

This thrust was incredibly swift and agile.

But all the newly resonant, gleaming Buddha statues and murals seemed to split off as a phantom, passing through walls and courtyards, and rapidly converging.

The direction in which they gathered was directly towards Chen Ying was sitting cross-legged on the wall.

Hundreds of Buddha images gathered together to form a huge pointed cone.

It also resembles a giant, colorful arrow, piercing the sky in a rapid attack!

Chen Ying still didn't open his eyes; the sheathed sword on his back seemed to melt, seeping through his robes and merging into his body.

She placed her right hand in front of her chest, forming a sword gesture, with her sword fingers pointing vertically towards her chin.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that she was referring to her own throat.

A shimmering light welled up in her throat and escaped her lips.

The giant, multicolored arrow pierced through the icy white light, freezing all the Buddha figures instantly and shattering them into ice powder.

The King Shouluo, whose finger was touching the wall, withdrew his hand at full speed the moment his fingertip made contact.

The icy white light pellet pierced through the wall, grazed the back of King Shouluo, and shot out at an angle, leaving a round hole of the same size on the other wall, slightly lower than the other side.

If you look down at the entire temple, you can see that the round light, about the size of a billiard ball, breaks through all the obstacles of the temple on the mountaintop and slants into a corner of the mountain.

Then, on a stone staircase behind the mountain, the icy light shone through once more.

Even disregarding the giant arrow and the wall that obstructed it, this ball of light pierced through at least thirty meters of mountain soil.

It was a pill, and also a sword pill.

Chen Ying's sword of Dao Qi, "The Cold Pill Exits the Tower!"

Neither Chu Tianshu nor King Shouluo could withstand such a sword strike.

But Chen Ying, who was on the wall, suddenly opened his eyes after spitting out this sword, his eyes filled with despair.

"My ultimate move?!"

She had not truly mastered the sword core; this move was originally intended to lend Chu Tianshu a helping hand at a crucial moment.

King Shouluo was able to sense the extremely restrained sword pellet before it even made its move.

The giant arrow formed by the majestic aura of the entire temple also misled the sword pellet, causing it to lose the opportunity to track the Grand Preceptor's true form.

A fatal blow, wasted so easily!

But Chu Tianshu wasn't surprised at all.

Among the enemies he killed, many were skilled fighters, but not particularly formidable.

Chen Ying is a typical genius cultivator, not a warrior at all.

Chu Tianshu knew that her sword strike wasn't meant to be decisive, but it would be enough to have some effect.

King Shouluo dared not hold back that sword and had to make his move.

As the silver-haired man extended and retracted his fingers, dodging the sword, Chu Tianshu also struck out with his palm.

Instead of striking the Great Yuan Dynasty, he stretched out both palms and suddenly struck the murals on both sides.

The Great Yuan Dynasty was on guard against him attacking him, but he didn't know how the man made this move.

Without asking why, the silver-haired man simply moved at top speed, suddenly flashing and flying, and punched Chu Tianshu's empty gate.

There seemed to be a fleeting shift in light and shadow around Chu Tianshu.

His face was as pale as a ghost, and his body was covered in red marks like wounds.

He withdrew his palms from the wall, and the pure, heavy golden light, guided by his ten fingers, suddenly formed a pure golden Taiji.

The Taiji symbol is only the size of a washbasin, and the yin and yang fish are made of pure gold, but the crack in the middle that divides yin and yang is pitch black and grim.

Boom!!

The Great Yuan Dynasty punched the Taiji diagram.

This person's boxing skills are so superb that this punch could not hit Chu Tianshu, so there was no need to waste the power of the punch.

But as soon as the fist approached the Taiji diagram, King Shouluo felt all the pores on the back of his hand suddenly open, and the force of his fist involuntarily shot out.

Even the pores all over the body show signs of opening up.

An extremely cold and sharp stimulation induced him to unleash all his power onto this Taiji diagram.

Even more astonishing is...

This Taiji diagram actually withstood the pressure, remaining perfectly still and rotating at a slow, constant speed.

Even if Chu Tianshu wasn't injured, his foundation was only similar to that of the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, so it was impossible for him to block such a powerful punch so easily.

However, he possesses the Nanhua Origin Canon, a power similar to a natural talent, which prevents him from clearly defining his path and further refining and expanding it through systematic cultivation.

But this is, after all, a power deeply connected to the essence of heaven and earth.

After Chu Tianshu himself entered the Taboo, the more he cultivated independently and pondered the various mysteries within this realm, the more he was able to verify many details in the operation of the "Nanhua Origin Canon" that he couldn't understand before.

For example, the Nanhua Origin Canon can extract the five elements of primordial energy, but it is best to focus on visualizing the metal element of primordial energy.

Chu Tianshu had already reached his limit by exploring this level before; he only knew that refining steel essence was the most efficient method.

But a journey through the wasteland reveals how the title of hero has been stolen by villains, granting them countless advantages.

After witnessing the villains being executed, the true heroes vowed to uphold this title, leading to various changes in the political landscape.

He suddenly felt more clearly than ever before that fame and position were also a form of power.

Like a lamp, like a suit of golden armor, it symbolizes a spirit as indomitable as iron.

Whether it's a good reputation or a bad reputation, whether this indomitable spirit ultimately brings benefits or harm.

Resilience is indispensable.

So, is this title and spirit also considered a kind of metal-elemental energy?

The Kṣitigarbha Temple on Mount Shenyue is one of the most important temples in the entire Goryeo.

The thousand-year-old Buddha statue is the temple's treasure; the newly erected Buddha statue is like a landmark.

The golden statue in the main hall is worshipped by countless people, and has received incense offerings from ancient times to the present.

This "worship of the golden body" is also a vital essence, a golden essence that has been refined by time!

The aura that the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty borrowed from the temple was merely a similar aura of majesty and punishment to that of his own lineage, the Mahākāla.

But those who worship golden statues come in all shapes and sizes, so how could they possibly only have one kind of aura?

Chu Tianshu's pull drew all the stubborn thoughts and auras, regardless of good or evil, to him.

Chu Tianshu's own power was merely transformed into that dark arc in the middle.

"Ouch!"

The demonic youth growled and suddenly pushed forward with both hands.

"You'd better die already!"

King Shouluo was startled. He quickly bent his right fist and kicked out at Chu Tianshu.

This kick was as powerful as a black arrow, piercing the ground and rising into the air.

Chu Tianshu suddenly shifted the Taiji diagram he was holding in both hands, which perfectly blocked the leg.

He never let go of the Taiji symbol the size of a washbasin. He used both hands to block a punch, and when he blocked a leg, he used both hands at the same time.

But the power emanating from this Taiji symbol is incredibly heavy.

He moved up easily, but as soon as he pressed down on the other person, his strength exploded immediately.

King Shouluo's right leg trembled violently as he kicked out with both fists.

Chu Tianshu then pushed the Taiji diagram up his leg and down to his left chest.

King Shouluo felt a sharp pain in his chest, his left shoulder jerked backward, and his left hand retracted, leaving only his right fist to swing out.

Chu Tianshu easily dodged it by tilting his head.

King Shouluo was startled to find that his opponent was already within two feet of him, and he was about to retreat hastily.

Too late!

Chu Tianshu's eyes were sinister. He rubbed his hands together, and the Taiji diagram reversed.

King Shouluo's face turned red, and thunderous sounds emanated from his body. His physical body, which had been blessed and transformed by the Mahākāla Divine Mantra, was now experiencing ruptured blood vessels everywhere.

He felt all the blood rushing to his chest, as if it were being drawn away by the Taiji.

At the critical moment of life and death, the Great Yuan Dynasty roared, advancing instead of retreating, his chest slamming forward while his arms came together.

Blood rushed to his chest, but it also made his chest hold the power of his life's cultivation, making it not so easy to break through. At this moment, it became his strongest weapon.

Choke!!

Chu Tianshu maintained maximum speed with his hands, causing the veins on the back of his hands to bulge. When his hands separated, the Taiji diagram cracked.

Two yin-yang fish, like two sharp blades, slashed the inner sides of the Great Yuan Preceptor's arms, cutting off his meridians, then suddenly closed up and reappeared on his chest.

After the separation and reunion, the Taiji symbol is compressed to an even smaller size.

But after this hasty change, the Taiji diagram was almost no match for the chest that the Great Yuan Dynasty had charged at it.

"Receive my empowerment!!"

The blood, mixed with the lifelong will of the Great Yuan National Preceptor, was meant to break through the Taiji, piercing Chu Tianshu's body with his own blood and seizing his body for rebirth.

Chu Tianshu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He inhaled through his mouth and nose simultaneously, pressed his left hand against the diagram, pulled back with his right hand, and punched the back of his left hand with a bang.

His invisible aura contracted layer by layer, pulling and tugging wildly, causing all the images and shadows on the murals on both sides to undergo subtle distortions.

The Bodhisattva on this side and the monk on the other side both seemed to have their pupils lowered as a result.

The monk had already lowered his head, and even the Bodhisattva's gaze was drawn to him by Chu Tianshu's punch.

Thump!!!

The Grand Preceptor of the Great Yuan Dynasty suddenly stopped, his gaze glazed over, and he shifted downwards.

The small Taiji diagram pierced through the body of the Great Yuan Dynasty and flew out from behind him.

The rotating Taiji, carrying a large amount of blood, forms a terrifying spiral column of blood that detaches from the human body.

At the end of the blood, the soul of the Imperial Preceptor struggled to emerge, letting out a terrifying roar.

But as the Taiji diagram flew out of the hall and exploded, the entire pillar of blood was also torn apart, and the roar abruptly stopped!
