Chapter 370 (1/2)
A magnificent light flashed by, and Qin Ming disappeared without a trace.
Lin Yingmei stored her spear and lifted her head. In the sky, there was no Starfall at all, meaning that Qin Ming did not die?
”Strange, could it be that Qin Ming has signed a contract?” Wu Xinjie slowly walked over, very bewildered. If a Star General that did not sign a contract were to receive a fatal wound, they would Starfall. Qin Ming had undoubtedly died just now, but if she had a contract, to not see Qin Ming's Star Master honestly was odd. Wu Xinjie could not believe that the reason the Star Master was absent from the Fierce Star's side was the same as her own.
”Yingmei?”
Wu Xinjie flashed forth and brought Lin Yingmei into her embrace. Lin Yingmei was somewhat powerless. That intense battle with Qin Ming just now had extremely fatigued her strength, after all, the Fierce Star Fiery Thunderbolt was a Five Tiger. How could she be a character defeated as easily as turning over a hand.
”Sister Yingmei,1 you truly went through a lot of trouble.” Wu Xinjie drew near her ear, her alluring words like silk. The Nine Tailed Spirit Fox's possession made her look very bewitching.
Lin Yingmei's pale cheeks rose with a blush, shoving Wu Xinjie aside.
”Sister Yingmei, you really are shy. We both have attended to Young Lord together already.” Wu Xinjie drew Lin Yingmei's rough waist towards her. Her lips ambiguously pecked Lin Yingmei's cheeks, their posture extremely suggestive.
Lin Yingmei seemed to suffer an electric shock, breaking free with strength that came from who knew where. Uprighteously, she said: ”Wu Xinjie, are you drunk?” Although they had indeed seen each other at their most stark, at that time, Lin Yingmei's whole heart was hung on Su Xing, not caring at all about those minor ambiguities.
”Oh, seeing Sister Yingmei's powerless appearance, Xinjie is somewhat drunk.” Wu Xinjie charming romanticness was loose, her cheeks slightly ablush.
”Do you want Your Servant to help calm you down?” Lin Yingmei was completely without politeness.
Wu Xinjie slightly winked, putting away her frivolous attitude. The nine tails retracted, and the Spirit Fox emerged from her body. The Eight Gates Black Gold briefly stirred restlessly, becoming a ray of golden light that bore into Wu Xinjie's body. The Knowledge Star let out a rather provocative moan that made Lin Yingmei's ears grow warm.
A moment later, Wu Xinjie recovered her composure.
”Truly, Xinjie does not wish to use the Eight Gates Black Gold Chain.” Wu Xinjie exhaled.
”Do not lower your guard, for Qin Ming's Star Master might return.” Lin Yingmei reminded.
”Perhaps Fierce Star Qin Mingyue did not sign a contract.” Wu Xinjie smiled.
Lin Yingmei's expression was full of doubt.
”Did Young Master already say that Jin Qiongyu had signed a contract with Qingci? Since this Qin Mingyue and Jin Qiongyu are together, their relationship is not shallow.” Wu Xinjie surmised, also a bit pensive: ”However, it truly is strange. Why would this sort of thing occur…”
Lin Yingmei raised her head, gazing at the Seven Floor Stupa Pagoda, ”Is it Qingci…”
Top of the pagoda.
Qingci suddenly changed her expression. She extended an arm and turned her hand. A banner appeared out of nowhere in her palm. It was too late to think anymore. Qingci's expression was grave. She bit open her fingertip, and she smeared her blood onto the banner. A magnificent scene appeared in Qingci's surroundings. Countless blue and white brushstroke-like outlines appeared in the air with simple and elegant trajectories. Graceful blue smoke circulated around her body, uniquely beautiful.
Qingci's lips slightly moved. The innumerable blue tadpole-like characters on the banner changed shape, finally forming a gorgeous Star Crest.
After this was completed, Qingci then slowly drew in a breath. The blue some scattered, yet her expression did not ease.
”Sister Qingci?”
Li Longkui, Wang Jingzhi and the others were astonished, clearly sensing what had happened just now – Qin Ming had been killed?
”Do not say anything at all. Your Servant has her own plans.”
Qingci was calm. Walking into the void, suddenly she heard a stabbing Brahmanistic chanting. Qingci knelt on the ground, her head splitting with pain. ”This is…”
Inside, Ten Thousand Buddhas.
…
The Su Xing soaking in boundless bliss at the moment was currently at a realm where he could not move up or down. The Five Dragons Colored Glass Lamp above his head released light. The five dragons wound around, the Buddhist aura radiated, and that illusory Meditative Mind Lotus Seed seemed substantial, manifesting its shape in the air. The Buddhist light was like a sea, vastly irrigating it, but the dharma was lacking, and the blossoming was slow enough to raise one's hackles.
However, although Su Xing's Heart Like Mirrors Soul Technique had already reached the third highest realm, sensing that An Suwen had returned to the Star Nest still made Su Xing's mind drop its guard. After all, Su Xing inherently had not truly reached that exceedingly refined degree. He could not turn a deaf ear to the danger outside. Furthermore, in the case that Su Xing's mind was in disorder, this Five Dragons light would become increasingly slow, and the budding Meditative Mind Lotus Seed would also depress.
Just at this moment, suddenly, countless Brahmanistic chants came through the void to his ear. Innumerable gods and buddhas appeared in the void. A bodhi forest and polo flowers formed a sea that encircled Su Xing within. Countless Buddhist sutra recitations endlessly poured into his ear.
This sudden Ten Thousand Buddhas was like a last hope. His originally absent-minded mood immediately once again recovered its tranquility. At this moment, Wu Siyou and the others were bitterly persisting through a tangle for his Meditative Mind Lotus Seed. If he were to give up now, how could returning empty-handed not waste all of their efforts.
Su Xing suddenly had an epiphany, and he slowly recited.
”Everything is that way, neither begun nor ended, neither impure nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. And so within the void there is no material form, and no sensation, no discrimination, no thinking, and no consciousness. There is not sensory perception, no form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or reasoning. There are no eighteen dhatu of sensation from sight to consciousness vijnnana, or twelve links of avidya and its ending to old age and death jaramarana and their ending. There are even no ”Four Noble Truths,” nor wisdom, nor attainment. Because there is no attainment, bodhisattvas…”2
Buddhas, arhats, and polo flowers opened. The bodhi tree rocked. Sarira, precious ksetra, stupas, and colored glass became ten thousand fragments that entered the Meditative Mind Lotus Seed.
The five dragons simultaneously cried out. Suddenly, the Meditative Mind Lotus Flower slowly spread its petals…
…
”Good, let us not delay. Immediately go stop that man.”
The Ten Thousand Buddhas of the Platform of Sixth Patriarch included Buddha Kingdom's Six Ancestors, the superpower of cooperating Supervoid Cultivators. The congregate of the entire Buddha Kingdom's power, what Wu Siyou faced was not the Buddha Kingdom's Six Ancestors but Buddha Kingdom's millions of disciples. Let alone Star Generals, even Emperor Liang, any cultivator that was the least bit irreverent of Buddha would inevitably swear allegiance to the Ten Thousand Buddhas, unable to free themselves of worldly worries.
Wu Siyou, Gongsun Huang, Yan Yizhen and Tang Lianxin exerted Star Energy to break free of the Brahmanistic chants in their minds, but that immeasurable dharma had no gaps to fall through. Their bodies had been frozen down to the cells.
When Great Master Still Void saw these Star Generals had already been trapped, it was too late to think anymore. Immediately, he was about to rush into the Five Dragons Colored Glass Lamp.
”Perish the thought.”
Wu Siyou clenched her teeth, raising the Noble Frost Demonic Lotus with difficulty. The Pilgrim was unwilling to give up.
”Wu Song, there is no need.” Abbess Water Moon slightly sighed.
”Do not mind them…”
Just as the Chan Masters were about to rush in, suddenly, a powerful force caged them.
What?
