788 The Answers To The Past Doubts (2/2)
His vision turned deep and serene, as he recalled the quote that was lingering in his heart for a long time.
”In the sixth death mission, we had successfully killed Mister Luda, Lu Zhi Ping. The reward is a Hao Tian Jing Fragment. Failure will result in death.”
...
When Cui Qinghe was struck by the spear Tai Li was wielding, Kong Wen had his hands on the relics which belonged to the Godly Monk Yuan Kong. Each relic was radiating light, coming from the layer of glaze. The Golden-Bodied Luohan expanded as though it was going to fill up the entire sky. The vague voice of the Buddha reverberated through the body right down to the very core.
”All life was born clean. It cannot start or destroy itself. Even if the life was born of from a mirage, it cannot sin or be blessed.
The White Tiger Demon King was shocked. As the idea appeared, he almost blurted out, ”Self-sacrifice! Is the Bald Kong Wen asking to die?”
The Giant Golden Buddha face had no emotion though it was emphasizing with all lifeforms. He opened the meditative mind and raised his right hand. His fingers made a shape as though they were pinching a flower. An imaginary Borneo that was golden in colour fell right between the fingers.
The scene was filled with zen as though it was depicting a profound truth which could not be described in words.
The White Tiger Demon King and the Demon Bull Kui were stunned. Millions of thoughts went through their heads and they felt as though they understood the concept of emptiness, the meaning behind the Combination of the four elements and Twelve Wisdom. Their minds and bodies felt at ease, as though the Realm of self, Realm of destruction, Realm of Huan Xi and Realm of Peace, were only one step away.
The Smiling Flower technique used was even closer to the original meaning of zen.
Kong Wen waved his right hand that he used to pinch the Borneo Flower and formed a palm. He attacked toward the Tiger Demon King and the Demon Bull Kui as though he was trying to give a warning.
As the zen sound changed and became more empty,
”The heart will create all rules and destroy all rules!”
In the sound of Zen, the purple lightning in the void, all weapons and elements were destroyed at will, as everything turned to emptiness!
Slap! The already heavily injured White Tiger Demon King was struck right at the centre of the head by that slap. He woke up immediately and realised he himself did not comprehend the zen.
”Wah!” The tiger howled in a shrill way. The howl pierced the clouds. Even though the skull of the White Tiger Demon King did not split into two, it was still sunken. It felt as though its primordial spirit was about to scatter in the wind. Its soul sank into dead silence, as it saw nothing but darkness. The soul and spirit were destroyed.
It flew back but did not die as it had a strong physical body. However, he lost the ability to fight and was at the edge of death.
Kong Wen did not chase him down to ensure that it was dead. He took a step forward as all five fingers in his right hand closed together to form a point. Right then, a colourless flame burnt the dharmakaya of Cui Qinghe to nothing. As heaven and earth sensed this, it sent a purple shooting star streaking across the night sky. Tai Li lifted his spear and pierced upwards which burnt away the Formation of Nature. Purple lightning used the flame as fuel, while the flame used the stars as fuel. The formation soon was fragmented and shattered.
He had to use this time when the Self Sacrifice was still in effect to severely injure the Demon King of Peacocks, Tai Li!
The vision of the Demon King White Tiger was blurred and he finally came about. When he saw the Demon King Bull Kui gave up on surrounding Immortal Yun He and came over to support, his relaxed a little. After forming the Demon Alliance, they stopped trying to kill each other.
Right then, a clean and transparent finger appeared in the void and tapped him on the shoulder.
Kong Ling's voice sounded off immediately, ”All shall return to the saviour in the other realm.”
Blood was drained from the Demon King White Tiger and flowed into this finger and his body withered rapidly. He saw an emotionless pair of eyes as he turned around, shocked.
The Wizard King of this World had a taunting look in his eyes. Even if Death Finger could not absorb Zuo Dao's dharmakaya, but the Dao could if the target was the sneaky group of demon kings.
From what happened today, improving one's strength was of the utmost importance!
The Demon King White Tiger was shocked and angry but fell into eternal darkness soon after.
The Demon King Bull Kui brandished his huge electric hammer. However, all of the flesh and blood of the Demon King White Tiger were absorbed into the dharmakaya of the Wizard King of this World and pushed his power level up.
The Wizard King of this World entered the void and appeared behind the Demon King Bull Kui. He used his two, transparent daggers and battled the demon.
Immortal Yun He used the Shang Qing Immemorial Talisman and set up layers of formations to battle the Blood Sea Rakshasa.
The Demon King of Peacock, Tai Li, saw the Giant Golden Buddha spring forth. He smiled coldly as he used the Finger of formless Calamity. Colours of red, green, yellow, white, and black, appeared simultaneously.
Even though he had yet to complete the Holy Light of Five colours, his opponent was not the real Buddha
The five colours brushed past the Giant Golden Buddha, as the Buddha was swallowed instantly.
Tai Li was in the real Demon King mode. He held in his hands two holy spears as he was trying to shake off Kong Wen and replicate the battle with Cui Qinghe. The five colours behind him suddenly trembled. It was split from the centre and showed a statue of a Golden-Bodied Luohan which seemed like a Buddha.
The Golden-Bodied Luohan reached out and grabbed the two wings that Tai Li had and smashed his head downwards.
This was the most common move in Shaolin. It was the Art of Iron Head. However, Kong Wen used it at the most appropriate time possible.
Bang! Tai Li was stuck so hard his back was twisted. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he stabbed his spear upwards to avoid the Giant Golden Buddha.
After he performed the Self-Sacrifice, his power level was close to that of a Bodhisattva!
...
Outside the Sword-Enshrining Tower, the grassland forces and the Zuo Dao alliance decided to send five gurus to support Hasula, which included three Golden Tent Warriors and two shamans. The remaining forces would continue to attack the Sword-Enshrining Tower in order to take over in the shortest amount of time possible.
”I am Gao Lan, King of the Great Zhou. Wherever there is a citizen of the Great Zhou dynasty, there will also be me!”
A majestic voice resonated in the ears of the head of the Cao family. The head of the Cao family, who was controlling the remains of the earth fairy, passed the electric purple Bo to the remaining gurus to defend their home just in case someone decided to ambush the backlines.
Right then, he heard that familiar voice. Two tears streaked down his cheek as he had a ruthless smile that was filled with relief. He activated the remains of the earth fairy and made it explode!
According to the pact, internal fighting would result in death. However, if one was not even afraid of death, why care about the pact?
The remains of the earth fairy expanded in size. When current Huan Xi Bodhisattva the rest realised, they reacted in fear. Some tried to run away while others tried to stop the explosion.
Boom! A sea of flames and light devoured an area of thousands of miles. Tens of thousands of feet up in the sky and down into the ground were also burnt. The silhouette of the Lan He Temple began to turn fuzzy.
The head of the Cao family felt pain all around his body as his vision was blurred. His primordial spirit was about to dissipate, as he was only left with a few thoughts in mind.
The situation of the middle forces of the North Zhou Dynasty and grassland experienced a great change today.
Xian Zhi, your death was not in vain!
The emperor will look after the Cao family and he will reward them with unique martial arts!
As for the current situation, one who was not improving would deteriorate!
...
Mister Luda was using all his might to keep Gu Erduo occupied. He would feel tired if he continuously used his strong heavenly troops. His resources were consumed at a slower rate. If he continued to keep this stable pace of attack, Gu Erduo would be heavily injured and forced to retreat.
At the moment, he felt that there was a shift in the space-time continuum. It originated from the Immortal Chonghe.
”What?” Using his sword to protect himself, he did not struggle as he realised he was shifted out of the Fairy-slaying sword formation even though he did not understand the reason behind Chonghe's actions.
He saw the Immortal Chonghe pushed out of his Dao crest. He ignited his primordial spirit as the colours of red, green, black, and white, in the Fairy-slaying sword formation began to shine brightly. It closed in on Gu Erduo.
Gu Erduo felt that besides destruction, the formation radiated something different. It gave rise to layers of changes, as each change bore the power to devour all matter and energy, even more than that of his axe. This trend did not seem reversible, as everything became more chaotic. The amount of energy was dropping steadily as everything was on the path to nothingness. At the end of the day, perhaps Gu Erduo's own dharmayaka would be devoured.
He activated the Scorpion Axe and the Power to Banish Fairies. He could only delay the inevitable, but soon he joined in the chaos.
”What is Chonghe doing?” He looked up into the sky. Even though he could not see Chonghe's figure, he could still feel a pair of calm eyes on him.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click visiting.
Chonghe fused his consciousness into the formation as his dharmakaya added fuel to the rampage. His heart was calm. Suddenly, he recalled an event in the past.
When he first entered the cycle of incarnation, he was just an ordinary disciple of the Pure Yang Sect. He could only survive thanks to the help from brother Ziyun.
Back then, everyone was fascinated by how magical incarnation was, as it gave them a wonderful experience. No one was lost in what to do. However, Brother Ziyun was the first to be stressed. He had a question. If the master of the Six Dao of Samsara gave him a mission that went against his morals, such as killing his own family or betraying his sect, what should he do?
At that point of time, Chonghe did not understand the significance of the question, hence he did not answer. Brother Ziyun could not come up with an answer, as he died.
Today, he went through all the vicissitudes of life. He finally understood and could give brother Ziyun an answer.
The Fairy-slaying sword formation was overflowing in energy. The dharmakaya of Chonghe and the formation fused as his consciousness started drifting. He answered his past doubts,
”Since ancient times, the most difficult thing to do is to accept death peacefully!”
Chonghe said in a calm, modest and upright way.
