The scripture was from the Great Compassion Scroll.
It referred to Eldest Brother.
As the chanting started, their surroundings suddenly changed. The lake waters stilled and the willows on the shore slumped. Even the lights on the White Pagoda froze in the moment. The wind stilled.
All was silent in the White Tower Temple. Those in the pagoda were silent and all things in the world returned to their original state that they were a thousand years ago. Their hearts stilled as they felt the peace around them.
In the absolutely peaceful world, how could one travel on the winds when there was no wind? How could one step on dew and fly if there wasn't any dew? How could they pass through fog if there wasn't any fog? How could they move like lightning if there was no lightning?”
Eldest Brother was forced to stop in the peaceful world. His feet slowly landed on the ground and his robe stilled. His face grew paler.
It was said that of all skills in the world, only speed could not be beaten. And the fastest Limitless State had been defeated today!
Ning Que only had time to turn around and stepped forward before he sensed the weirdness. He stopped and turned his head around. He heard the soft chanting and saw that Eldest Brother was in danger.
He was extremely shocked; he had no time to consider why Eldest Brother's Limitless State could be neutralized. He whipped out his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at the Chief Preaching Monk.
Before Eldest Brother had appeared, he had already used the Primordial Thirteen Arrows against the Chief Preaching Monk. Against the Chief Preaching Monk whose body and heart was as hard as diamond, the powerful iron arrow was like a withered branch and was ineffective. However, he still used a second iron arrow because there was a small metal cylinder on the arrowhead of this arrow.
He did not believe that there was an existence in this world that cannot be extinguished. Even if the Chief Preaching Monk was undefeatable, and could not be physically harmed, he believed that the explosion caused by the metal cylinder would at least bother him, even if it did not kill him. This would allow Eldest Brother to extricate himself from the odd situation.
However, he saw something even weirder next.
The iron arrow left the bowstring and a white trail blossomed from the tail of the arrow like a dandelion being blown apart by mad winds. Then, the arrow fell. Ning Que was familiar with the process of shooting Primordial Thirteen Arrows and knew that the white trail was due to the talisman intent being integrated into the air. However, this was the first time he had witnessed such a situation!
The iron arrow was supposed to ignore the distance in space and travel quietly. However, it did not disappear after leaving the bowstring, but retained its physical appearance and slowly flew a dozen feet before falling onto the ground!
The iron arrow could not get close to the Chief Preaching Monk at all. The cylinder on the arrowhead groaned. However, there wasn't even a small ember of flame, much less a powerful explosion.
Ning Que paled significantly, and it looked like his cheeks sunk in mere seconds. He began to tremble violently. Then, he used his right index finger and drew a line in the air, aiming for the Chief Preaching Monk in the distance.
This was the only temporary Divine Talisman that he knew. The Two-Horizontal Talisman!
Ning Que had stopped himself from using it previously even as they were on the brink of death at the courtyard as he was worried that he might expend too much of his Psyche Power while on the run with Sangsang. However, he did not hesitate as Eldest Brother was in a very dangerous situation!
However, he discovered something weird once more.
No matter how much Psych Power he put into it, and no matter how stable and powerful his fingers drew in the air, he could not place any power in the rune he drew in the air. Furthermore, he also had a nagging feeling that the Divine Talisman he drew would not be able to change the aura of heaven and earth!
As the Chief Preaching Monk chanted, the Qi of Heaven and Earth in White Tower Temple stilled and could not be moved, just like the lake, pagoda, temple, people, wind, rain, snow and all other things of nature.
Ning Que listened to the scriptures, and his sense of perception began to still. He did not wish to use his Psyche Power at all, and his body relaxed. He only wished to sit down and listen to the scripture. Even the Great Spirit in his body calmed. Even the crystal-like liquid in his stomach that had been spinning slowed!
Ning Que looked at the Chief Preaching Monk who sat with his knees crossed in shock. He wondered what kind of skill he was using that could affect Ning Que's insides. It was so powerful!
Eldest Brother looked at the Chief Preaching Monk and uttered in shock, ”The Power of Words!”
”I heard: The three worlds are all fleeting. There is nothing and there is joy. There are rules, and everything is meaningless. Without wind, there would be no dew. Without fog, there would be no lightning. We can see from here that evil comes from within.”
The scripture that the Chief Preaching Monk chanted rang within White Tower Temple. It chimed in the distance like bells, was calm like the wooden fish, subtle like the scent of incense, and it penetrated deeply into one's heart like the voice of Buddha.”
Nothing existed. And as such, there was no wind, dew, fog, lightning, rain or snow. And at the very beginning of the world, there wasn't any Qi of Heaven and Earth, so how would they be able to control it?
The Chief Preaching Monk was Xuankong Temple's highest being. His disciples were of higher status than other bigwigs like the chief monk. This was because Xuankong Temple was a place where preaching was done.
The Chief Preaching Monk was above the Five States and had his own Buddhist world. He was a Buddha on earth, so the scriptures that he preached on earth were Buddhist scriptures, and the words that he spoke were in the voice of Buddha.
The voice of Buddha, was the rule in his world.
