Chapter 307 The Clash of Dao Techniques (1/2)

The man in green and the nun in white stood behind of the teenager in Daoist attire. The Saintess did not proceed forward. After she noticed Huangji Fo's arrival, she immediately moved towards him as though she was frightened by the teenager in Daoist attire.

Huangji Fo had seen enough in his life to not feel overwhelmed by the teenager's capabilities.

His sloppy ears shifted slightly as they caught the messages from the Saintess. Only then did he realize that this teenager was the mysteriously powerful character that she ran into previously. Now it seemed that the teenager was beyond scary. Though, this did not change anything. He was determined to get the nun back, and he would stop at nothing.

”'Dao' is intangible and endless; it is to be carefree and unrestrained. Despite the matters in this world that has shape and is tangible, but how could one tell if what lies in front of them was real or not? Fellow Daoist, your wise words are beyond my comprehension. I'm not sure if my understanding is correct?” Huangji Fo spoke as he pointed out the reasoning behind Shen Lian's words.

This had shown his capabilities. Even the man in green looked at him in admiration as he thought about how Huangji Fo did have something in him.

Huangji Fo sounded casual, but his entire attention was directed to Shen Lian. If Shen Lian could utter those words so casually, he was indeed beyond terrifying.

In Buddhism, this was known as knowing one's nature and heart; In Daoism, this was considered as breaking through whims and being one with the heaven and earth. If said person was not in the rank of celestials yet, he would not be far off by now.

Shen Lian clapped with his fair hands; his fingers were slender and long, as though they were beautiful jade that was crafted with the natural essence of Dao. The claps were crisp and clear. His every move was full of the grace of a great master.

”If Dao was something that could be put into words so easily, then it would not be the eternal Dao that it is. Fellow Daoist, you are asking me to explain my previous sentence, what about what I have just said earlier?” Even though he spoke so casually, those were words of wisdom.

After hearing it, Huangji Fo felt like Shen Lian was like the sky – he could see it, and that was all there was. He knew that there was no way that he could guess what he was thinking, given that he was in a league of his own.

”I must be confused for a while back there. The greatness of Dao is not something that can be put into words. However, if Fellow Daoist refused my request to bring her away today, I supposed that it will not be a happy ending,” he spoke.

Shen Lian smiled, ”I was planning to sort you out sooner or later anyway, I might as well let you know today that, not just anyone can call themselves a 'Fo', Buddha,” Shen Lian spoke.

He seemed so casual and unaffected even when faced with Huangji Fo's overwhelming Qi dynamic. He was sizing Huangji Fo cheerfully, as though he was looking at nothing but a mere strand of grass.

Shen Lian's demeanor pissed Huangji Fo off ever more.

His Buddhist techniques were fuelled on by his rage, and he did not bother suppressing it himself either. He decided to just let the natural course of things have their way. Since he could not control his heart, he might as well let it be.

All these years, he did not even have to bow to the Golden-bodied Arhat. However, right now he was being taken lightly by Shen Lian, whom background he was unaware of. Moreover, Shen Lian was shielding the nun from Zizai Temple and acted against his great plan.

The Buddha might have patience, but not him.

He laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed through the sky and swirled amidst the mountains. The echo did not die off until much later.

”Fellow Daoist, you are forcing me to send you to meet the Daoist Master Heavenly King.”

In Daoist legends, the Daoist Master and the Heavenly King had once built a heaven and lived within it. When the cultivators of the Xuanmen died, they would be brought over to become one of the living creatures in the heaven.

After he had spoken, his aura surged. His entire body swelled, as though it contained the world within it.

Huangji Fo's greatness made Shen Lian's flimsy body in the pagoda seemed insignificant in comparison.

It was as though he only needed to clap his hand to turn Shen Lian into a meat patty. Shen Lian would not be able to put up a fight at all.

Shen Lian raised his head to meet Huangji Fo's giant Buddhist eyes that looked like lanterns. Their Qi dynamic had actually been joined into one, and the clash between their spirits was not something that could easily be observed by outsiders.

In Huangji Fo's eyes, the pagoda in the mountains had disappeared.

He manifested into his Buddha body. He towered over Shen Lian with his huge and impressive body.

He saw a dot, an origin that seemed murky inside.

It was segregated into Yin and Yang and the Five Elements; eventually, it turned into the galaxies and the vastness that was the Universe. His giant golden body seemed to have become a part of the universe.

He could not find Shen Lian. At the same time, he knew that the Universe was Shen Lian's work. In the vastness of the Universe, regardless of how gigantic he was, he seemed so insignificant.

Out of a sudden, Shen Lian appeared amidst the galaxy. It was him, and yet it was not.

He formed a gesture with his hand, and a divine mountain appeared immediately. The galaxy was rolled up and was sent flying at his Buddha body.

Huangji Fo chanted his Buddhist chants, and eight dragons appeared. They were long and their bodies were dragged across the sky. The power of the dragon managed to resist against the incoming divine mountain. The dragon wrapped its body tightly around the divine mountain, as though it was ready to crush it into pieces.

The golden light and the divine light clashed; the giant impact created an immeasurable force that could not be described with words. The stray, strange spiritual force was dispersed, and they clashed against Huangji Fo's spiritual manifestation.

He remained composed and was unmoved.

”Huangji Shocking Technique,” he yelled.

The outsiders – the man in green and the nun, saw intangible ripples broke through the air between Shen Lian and Huangji Fo. There was no impressive clash of Dao techniques, but the spiritual aftermath had shattered the pagoda into pieces. Even the trees at the back bent backward and broke.

The man in green drew the tracks repeatedly and shielded both of them within the divine light as they retreated towards the back.
