Buddhist Seal

Only by achieving the realm of the Primordial Spirit and possessing a physical body of the Primordial Spirit can one control the Spiritual Qi at the Primordial Spirit level.

These are Old Chen's exact words.

When the Hu Mang's "Eye of the Tribulation Dragon" opened, all the calamity lines and Tribulation Qi were quickly devoured by it.

"And Hu Mang's realm" has reached a level that even he himself has not been able to understand.

However, the Hu Mang's physical body was in a bad state. Its three Yin meridians of the hands and feet were rapidly filled, and even with the reverse essence Essence Blood from the "Blood-Piercing Essence-Reversal Art," it was still unable to suppress the scalding Demonic Qi.

However, once the two lines of Devil Cultivation Method defense constructed by the "Profound Yin Body Refining Technique" and the "Blood-Piercing Essence-Reversal Art" are breached by the Primordial Spirit Level"Demonic Qi.

In that case, it's highly likely that Hu Mang will soon achieve the Qi Deviation " goal.

At this moment, demonic light burst forth from Hu Mang's eyes, yet his hands simultaneously formed six seals: Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, and Zhen.

Within his State of Mind, under the moonlight of the Mysterious Yin Devil Moon, the golden Brahma Sea surged higher and higher.

What Hu Mang just said was pure nonsense.

Neither of the two Devil Cultivation Method he practiced had a decisive effect.

Only Buddhist methods, relying on the Buddha-body brought by "removing the three karmas" to unleash an attack at the level of the Great Mudra, can break through the darkness where the female Thunder God resides and gain a sliver of hope.

However, the problem is that while Hu Mang is using his State of Mind to control the demonic cloud, his physical body seems to be unable to withstand it.

This Demonic Qi cannot be countered by fragments or Thunder-Warding Robe.

In such a short time, Hu Mang had not yet been able to develop enough Buddhist killing moves.

Hu Mang now only has two choices: either rush into this wave, or, based on his previous understanding of the Array Character Seal," forcibly comprehend the "Column," "Front," and "Line" seals. The efficiency of transforming from demon to Buddha through the complete Chan School Great Hand Seal will inevitably skyrocket.

Hu Mang hesitated for only a few moments before choosing the latter.

He would rather die trying to break through than suffer the frustration of missing his ultimate move and being taken down by a combo.

Meanwhile, the Devil Moon in the Crimson Palace was suddenly enveloped in a faint Zen light.

Within the light of Zen, countless binary Buddhist characters emerged.

The changes are even more dramatic in State of Mind.

At times, the Devil Moon in the sky transformed into the Brahma moon, and the pitch-black demonic light turned into pure golden Buddhist light, illuminating the sea of consciousness and dispelling all gloom.

At times, the boundless Black Sea is covered by the rolling chants of Sanskrit. These chants, as if they were tangible, create ripples on the sea's surface. Each ripple spreads outward, accompanied by the deep resonance of countless Buddhas chanting sutras.

In the distance, it seemed as if a colossal Buddha was about to emerge from the depths of the Black Sea. His figure was so enormous that it was unimaginable; just a section of his shoulder was visible, yet it already covered half of the seawater.

This is Hu Mang forcibly urging the "Buddha-Devil Transformation," attempting to comprehend the evolution brought about by the last three hand gestures through his own understanding of Zen.

Veins bulged on his forehead, sweat poured down like rain, and his aura shifted wildly between Buddhist light and Demonic Qi. Each shift was accompanied by the cracking of his bones, as if his body was becoming a battlefield where Buddhist and demonic forces were locked in a tug-of-war.

Then, an unexpected change occurred.

The immense pressure on his physical body caused Hu's half-demon bloodline to be fully activated.

Although his red hair hadn't grown out yet, streaks of blood had already appeared on his pair of dim, yellow eyes.

Moreover, due to the frantic switching between the Buddhist and demonic State of Mind, the Buddhist comprehension has not improved much, while the demonic comprehension has skyrocketed.

When the three Yin energies reverse, the mysterious aperture opens. The essence of Taiyin sinks into the kidneys and transforms into Profound Water; the radiance of Shaoyin condenses in the heart and freezes into Red Lotus.

The evil influence of Jueyin surges to the top of the head, dividing the Sha Palace.

"Heaven has Three Flowers to illuminate the world, earth has three yin to suppress the netherworld. The three yang do not face the heavens, the three yin gather first. To reverse life and death, to turn the universe upside down, that is my way!"

This was accompanied by a loud shout from the Hu Mang.

The Qi Sea, Crimson Palace, and Niwan Palace respectively produced three kinds of demonic phenomena: Black Water, Red Lotus, and Sha Palace.

Hu Mang suddenly comprehended the Realm of Three Yin from the "Mysterious Yin Devil Moon".

The next moment, the Black Sea roared as if a hole had been opened in the seabed, and seawater poured in.

With the help of seawater "evolution", the Hu Mang seemed to have suddenly broken through life and death, and opened up a meridian that had never existed before, even thicker than the twelve meridians, directly using the three yin flowers as its route.

Even though these three strange phenomena disappeared, this demonic energy channel did not disappear either. Instead, like the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, it remained permanently within the Hu Mang's body.

The previously congested Demonic Qi was instantly absorbed by this energy vein, as if it had been thrown into the sea.

The previous feeling of blockage and bloat vanished without a trace.

As if by instinct, Hu Mang's consciousness gained a new clue about this demonic vein.

No, it should be two clues leading to the demise of the meridians.

The former was told to him by his own mother; the latter was the awakening of his bloodline.

Cauldron-Boiling Meridian: The pulse is extremely rapid and superficial, without any foundation, like boiling water, indicating impending death.

The Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian: The pulse is restless and surging, outwardly weak but inwardly deep, like boiling black soup, capable of absorbing all kinds of turbid evil and refining pure Demonic Qi.

Mama Hu has once again tricked her precious son.

The so-called "Seven Absolutes Death Meridians" is just a facade. The truth is that the Hu Mang has a sealed Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians within its body!

Good heavens, you're such a pseudo-scientist! What seven kinds of dangerous pulse signs indicating impending death and exhaustion of the internal organs? They're clearly seven unsealed demonic pulses that cause the blood vessels to dry up and go out of control.

No wonder I got more and more addicted to demonic Cultivation Method!

So it turns out I have the pure constitution of a demonic saint!

Regardless of Hu Mang's determination, the Buddha-Devil Transformation, the formation of the Three Yin Flowers phenomenon, and the opening of the Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian, the changes, though drastic, were only a matter of a moment.

With the "Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian," Hu Mang could no longer feel the pressure from the external demonic clouds and could concentrate on evolving the Nine-Character Great Hand Seal.

Hu Mang's previous efforts were not in vain. Stimulated by the "Three Yin Flowers of the Demonic Path," he comprehended the Formation Character Instruction " from the three words "Searching Forward" and "Searching Upward."

The Formation Character Instruction " (列字诀), also known as " Present-Moment Perfect Enlightenment Attainment " (当现圆觉通), means "keeping the mind focused on the present moment and not being deluded by external circumstances." Whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, Zen is present; the mind does not cling to or chase after illusions, and one is at ease everywhere.

Indeed, there's no need to be misled by external circumstances anymore.

Because the external environment was absorbed by the demonic State of Mind.

Hu Mang silently complained.

The Great Mudra has already reached perfection in this state.

Outside, however, only a few breaths had passed since this Devil-Subduing Heavenly Soldier "forcibly summoned the demonic cloud and hid within it."

And these subordinates of Thunder God "didn't do nothing either."

These lightning techniques are indeed not very effective against the Hu Mang, but they are a perfect counter to these Thunder Ministry clouds.

Soon, most of the demonic clouds that had been forcibly summoned were blasted away.

However, the next moment, the rolling demonic clouds suddenly receded. Not only did the demonic clouds and tides they had summoned disappear, but even the demonic clouds above Demon-Subduing City lost at least one-tenth of their power.

A clear gap appeared in the sky, and the long-awaited sunlight streamed through the opening, illuminating the stunned crowd below.

But the next moment, the ground trembled violently, and a surging light, centered on the entire Caishikou area, erupted like a flood bursting its banks—

Surging upwards, golden Buddhist light soared into the sky, outlining a huge Buddha image in mid-air.

The Buddha's figure was towering and immeasurable, sitting cross-legged in the void, its form almost obscuring half of the sky above the southern city.

Upon witnessing this scene, the monk Jingtu, who was pouring Jingtu on the other side of the Demon-Subduing City, stared wide-eyed, unaware that wine was dripping from the corners of his mouth.

The power of Buddhism at the Primordial Spirit level is truly formidable.

The towering, unparalleled Buddha figure slowly formed a hand seal with its left hand.

The next moment, all the "green paper figures" hidden under eaves, behind walls, in cellars, or disguised as street vendors in the bustling city were pulled out by an invisible force, like fallen leaves caught in a whirlpool, flying towards the palm of the Buddha's shadow.

Each "green paper figure" is a lifelike "Blessing-Prayer Decree" – its eyebrows, eyes, facial features, clothing, and accessories are all meticulously crafted, as if True Person had been shrunk down and flattened into a piece of paper.

Without a doubt, this is most likely a secret technique left over from the Divine Dynasty, on par with "Ghost Makeup Book" and "Corpse Liberation Book".

Until a green paper figure hidden in the restaurant was sucked in, a desperate scream rang out, and in an instant, all the paper figures became motionless.

Clearly, the true form was suppressed by the Buddha's shadow.

The next moment, the Buddha's shadow formed the Vajra Devil-Subduing Seal, its enormous palm blotting out the sky, but its target was not the people present, but rather it pierced through the darkness and landed on the head of the mysterious woman, Gong Lei.

There was no alarming noise.

Or rather, this struggle had exceeded the perception of everyone present.

After a few breaths.

The Buddha's image slowly dissipated, like morning mist evaporating in the sunlight, golden specks of light drifting in the air and gradually fading.

The Hu Mang also vanished, leaving behind only a faint, rapidly dissipating aura of anxiety.

Only Gong Lei remained in reality.

She remained dressed in white, barefoot, as if she had never moved.

But on her right hand, her palm, which was as white and flawless as jade, fine streaks of blood were slowly sliding down her fingers, dripping onto the bluestone ground beneath her feet with a soft pattering sound.

This battle of wits attracted considerable attention both inside and outside the city.

At least outside the city, Yun Shuo, who had been deducing the secrets of heaven, let out a soft exclamation.

"Is there any other Buddhist figure involved in the Form Realm Great Hand Seal '?"

For Hu Mang, there is now both good news and bad news.

The good news is that experiments have proven that the Eye of the Tribulation Dragon can indeed transform into a Primordial Spirit level after absorbing enough tribulations.

The bad news is that because this attack was so fierce, it completely depleted the calamities that the Hu Mang had accumulated over the past few days.

Therefore, in the short term, Hu Mang will no longer be able to demonstrate the realm of the Primordial Spirit.

The place where Hu Mang is hiding now is none other than Hundred-Well Abyss, where he previously fought the Devil-Slaying Bladesman.

After he comprehended the Realm of Three Yin from the Mysterious Yin Devil Moon, the Yin energy here no longer posed any threat to him.
