Chapter 369: A Pair Of Glittering Stars (1/2)
The capabilities of Great Master Shen Hui’s seemingly fierce non-human beings could repress Star Generals, but how could he have foreseen that Efficacious Star Divine Physician would be here. By the contract she had with the Star Beast Good Fortune, An Suwen activated her Dark Rank Star Magic “Mind-steeling Smoke And Rain.” This Star Magic could shift whatever injuries any person sustained onto the user herself. However, by doing so, An Suwen alone bore the already extreme non-human beings. If it was not for relying on Good Fortune’s healing, she would have already been unable to persist from the very beginning, after all, this was but a Supervoid Middle Stage cultivator’s power.
Without a Five Star Destined Weapon, Star Generals basically had no way to contend.
“But how?”
Great Master Shen Hui was shocked.
“Hè.”
An icy shout interrupted, again tearing open a ghastly wound on Great Master Shen Hui’s body.
The Great Masters were both mentally and physically exhausted. They used all their abilities without exception yet were unexpectedly powerless to contest. This was somewhat inconceivable. Their grand and magnificent three Supervoid Cultivations surprisingly were helpless against several Star Generals.
An Suwen being struck back into the Star Nest made the hearts of the girls infuriated.
The three Great Masters had been frightened into continuous retreat. If this got out, this practically would be disgraceful.
Great Master Shen Hui instantly already lost his drive for further battle, but how could Aratha and Great Master Still Void bear this shame: “Great Master, we can only use the Ten Thousand Buddhas of the Platform Sutra of Sixth Patriarch. We ask that Great Master lend his aid.”
“En.”
Great Master Shen Hui hesitated a moment, nodding in agreement when he saw the Star Generals in pursuit.
Great Master Shen Hui and Great Master Still Void used all of their power to tangle with this rage.
…
Seven Floor Stupa Pagoda, Seventh Floor.
The battle on the floor above made the Seven Floor Stupa Pagoda wobble endlessly, as if it was a small leaf in the middle of a surging wave. Jolted up and down, under such disturbing shaking, Holy Monk Four Noble Truth was calm in the face, slowly propagating dharma.
Currently, there were altogether five people still listening to dharma. They were Qingci, Chan XIn, the yellow-clothed person, and Abbess Water Moon along with Chan Master Jia Ye.
As far as the contest over the Five Dragons Colored Glass Lamp was concerned, they clearly did not care.
However, not everyone could remain aloof. Chan Xin was an exception.
It was as if Chan Xin’s heart was being scratched by a cat right now. She was filled with a sort of indescribable feeling of unease. If it was before, to be able to hear the Holy Monk speak of dharma was something Chan Xin absolutely could only dream of. Now, she had even uprooted an enormous Bodhi tree of the Central Celestial coming to Buddha Kingdom for the sake of making Senior Monk Four Noble Truths take a look. Although this shook the entire Far West Buddha Kingdom, this was still not shown.
Now, this long-cherished wish was accomplished, yet Chan Xin all along could not settle down.
Each time the floor above jolted, that surging murderous aura seemed to flow over her body. Unease, fright, confusion, conflict, the feelings that the Heavenly Solitary Star ought not to have totally broke free.
Four Supervoid Cultivators had taken action.
Will he die?
Chan Xin’s mind only had this question, half-hearted about this Holy Monk’s Chan Technique.
“Sister Qingci, shall we go up?” Wang Jingzhi asked.
Qingci hesitated. To be frank, she was relatively shocked. Originally, she had thought that Su Xing had come for the Heavenly Solitary Star. How could she have known that Su Xing unexpectedly was here for the Five Dragons Colored Glass Lamp. Then why would he treat the Heavenly Solitary Star so well along the road? Qingci did not understand, however, now that four Supervoid Cultivators had set out, Qingci wiped cold sweat for Su Xing. Originally, she had thought that it would be a brief instant, that Su Xing would leave the Seven Floor Stupa Pagoda, but she had not expected that the battle on the floor above would be increasingly intense, unexpectedly affecting the entire Seven Floor Stupa Pagoda.
Just that imposing air alone made Qingci’s heart shiver.
Just what did Su Xing do to those Four Supervoid Cultivators. How could things be so severe.
According to logic, as Su Xing’s sworn Little Sister, Qingci ought to go forward and take a look, but thinking of Su Xing’s identity again made Qingci unable to make a determination. Seeing Chan Xin aloof as she listened to dharma, Qingci thought to silently observe. Just what relationship did Su Xing and Chan Xin have.
“Wait, see how the Heavenly Solitary Star makes her determination.” Qingci thought. They could only do so.
To be enemies with four Supervoid Cultivators, Qingci felt honestly this was very unwisely seeking one’s own destruction.
“I will now transmit to you the markless repentance and reform to destroy the offensive actions done within the three periods of time and to purify the three karmas. Good Knowing Advisors, repeat after me: ‘May this disciple be, in past, present, and future thought, in every thought, unstained by stupidity and confusion. May it be wiped away at once and never arise again.”1
Senior Monk Four Noble Truths sat upright on the lotus platform, his mouth spitting up lotus flowers, each word a pearl.
The group listened silently and respectfully.
At this moment, Abbess Water Moon and Chan Master Jia Ye opened their eyes. They looked at each other, some shock in their eyes.
They had just received Great Master Still Void’s Sound Projection. Unexpectedly, he wanted to have them go assist at the top of the pagoda, to activate the Platform Sutra of Sixth Patriarch Array and open the Ten Thousand Buddhas. What was going on? That man unexpectedly could render Buddha Kingdom’s peak Buddhas to be without choice. Surprisingly, they were about to activate the Platform Sutra of Sixth Patriarch?
Everyone knew that the Buddha Kingdom had Six Ancestors, but these Six Ancestors were not at all the sort of vain title and such of the Azure Dragon territory, rather, this was confirmation of the Platform Sutra of Sixth Patriarch. The Platform Sutra of Sixth Patriarch was Buddhism’s most famous Sutra. Following what Sixth Patriarch had declared, when he declared that the Six Paths combined into one. The Ten Thousand Buddhas had always suppressed the luck of Buddha Kingdom, otherwise, how could the Buddha Kingdom have possibly survived in the midst of the dominance of several Territories, declaring themselves the Pure Land World.
Star Generals were this formidable?
Chan Master Jia Ye and Abbess Water Moon looked at each other in dismay, somewhat hesitant. The Holy Monk was propagating dharma. To be this rude always meant losing etiquette,
“Your mind has a thousand knots. Go undo these knots. To endure remaining here will only increase your worries, and your mind will be increasingly bewildered.”
Holy Monk Four Noble Truths had apparently anticipated this. He calmly spoke, not becoming angered.
“We shall trouble the Holy Monk.”
Abbess Water Moon and Chan Master Jia Ye were helpless. Although they did not want to participate in a dispute with Star Generals at all, they knew that the Platform Sutra of Sixth Patriarch Array required them to go. Someday, if they fell into a bind with others looking on without concern, that was the same as self-destruction in Buddha Kingdom.
The pair flashed away, bolting for the top of the pagoda as Qingci stared in astonishment.
Just what was happening on the floor above for all of the Buddha Kingdom Six Ancestors to go?
“Ha, ha, interesting. They want to activate the Platform Sutra of Sixth Patriarch. Are they chanting the Ten Thousand Buddhas? It seems Buddha Kingdom really has no way out against these Star Generals.” The yellow-clothed man laughed, completely in spite of the Holy Monk’s dignity.
These words made Chan Xin’s expression change.
Her eyes were somewhat struggling.
“Dharma is the Great Way. The nature of the mind is dustless. This Benefactor was brought to Poor Monk by fate, but your heart cannot shed its unease. The cause is ill-feeling, how can the meditative mind be comprehended.” Holy Monk Four Noble Truths slowly said.
Chan Xin had a sudden epiphany, her heart clear. She put her hands together piously.
“Disciple shall now go rid the cause.”
“Sadhu, sadhu.” Holy Monk Four Noble Truths chanted.
Chan Xin ascended to the next floor, her eyes no longer confused, walking for the top of the pagoda.
Since even Chan Xin had gone, Qingci had no reason to stay in this place. If she did not show herself, someday, Su Xing would not be easy to say, let alone that Qingci had no interest at all about this Chan technique. She announced her guilt and also followed upwards.
Very quickly, this room was only left with the yellow-clothed man.
“Truly interesting. It seems in the end, only Your Servant has connection with the Holy Monk’s Chan technique.” The yellow-clothed man laughed aloud.
Holy Monk Four Noble Truths slowly said.
“Emperor Liang is the Azure Dragon’s most senior. How can Poor Monk’s dharma have a connection with Emperor Liang.”
The yellow-clothed man took off his hood, revealing a smart and bright face, a distinct countenance and two eyes sharps as swords. He was dignified, not furious. Compared to the solemnity of Holy Monk Four Noble Truths, he was not to be outdone. This man was precisely Emperor Liang.
“When We originally came to see you, Great Master just happened to be in seclusion, and We were unable to request an audience. Today, we finally can see the Great Master.” Emperor Liang smiled.
The two of them were both peak Supervoid Late Stage Cultivators. The courage to make someone raise his hand was sufficient to make someone feel oppressed. Fortunately, this place was already without anyone left, otherwise, this propagation of dharma might have become torment.
“Truly, Poor Monk has troubled Your Majesty.”
“Not at all, We only wish to ask Poor Monk a question – Have you comprehended this Transforming Star of Annihilation?” Emperor Liang calmly smiled and asked.
The imposing air of Holy Monk Four Noble Truths made a rare ripple, immediately calming down, silent.
…
“How did this happen?”
Chan Master Jia Ye and Abbess Water Moon rushed to the top of the pagoda and were stupefied by the scene before them.
“Buddhist Cultivators truly like to appear one by one.” Wu Siyou grasped her double-ended sword, her slender pupils brimming with a cold expression.
“Use the Platform Sutra of Sixth Patriarch, otherwise we will die here.” Great Master Still Void hastily called out.
Gongsun Huang, Yan Yizhen and Wu Siyou cooperated for an attack.
A terrifying murderous aura filled their hearts and made them change expression.
Knowing that Star Generals were unmatched in close combat, although Chan Master Jia Ye and Abbess Water moon did not have time to think more, having been frightened by Wu Siyou and the other’s imposing air, they hastily formed hand seals. The Platform Sutra of Sixth Patriarch inherently required the Six Ancestors, but Stupa and Senior Monk Extreme Happiness had died. Great Master Shen Hui actually had the qualifications to assume the a position. Although they were short one person, that could no longer be minded too much.
The five of them simultaneously recited scripture. Immediately, the unbounded void was full of Brahmanistic dharma. Countless scriptures flew out, and Gods and Buddhas descended as far as the eye could see. The expressions of Wu Siyou and the others changed. They felt their heads hurt as if they were splitting apart. Those countless Brahmanistic chants drilled into their minds. No matter how much Star Energy they used, the group were incapable of dispelling it. Under this Brahmanistic chanting, the group found it completely difficult to move their toes and fingers, let alone attack.
This was the Ten Thousand Buddhas.
“Not good.”
Wu Siyou’s eyes had a chill.
…
Countless Buddhist sounds appeared from the Seven Floor Stupa Pagoda and spread across the entire Central Celestial. Instantly, the innumerable masses knelt and bowed their heads to the ground. Incense burned nonstop, and the phantoms of gods and buddhas filling the sky hung suspended, making the entire Buddha Kingdom fill with magnificence.
Huangfu Tianyi gnashed his teeth, “Damned Buddhism.”
The Flying Swords and talismans violently attacked to kill the Wu Xinjie and Lin Yingmei trapped in the Northern Dipper Heavenly Cycle Array. The Northern Dipper Heavenly Cycle Array could draw away a Star General’s Star Energy, and Huangfu Tianyi was confident that even if they did not die, they would be seriously wounded, allowing Jiao Ruoxue to act afterwards. The two peak Heavenly Star were his Starfall things then.
It was perfect in his imagination.
Just at this moment, Wu Xinjie sighed, and Hua Xue possessed Wu Xinjie’s body. Nine snow-white tails unfurled. In that instant, Wu Xinjie’s pupils brimmed with the two glints of charm and holiness. Before Huangfu Tianyi could understand what had happened, he suddenly heard a “hua-hua” noise in the void, as ifchains were being pulled around. Immediately afterwards, he saw chains of twinkling golden light suddenly appear in Wu Xinjie’s surroundings. These chains were seemingly spiritual, circling around to form a battle array.
The Northern Dipper Heavenly Cycle Array instantly broke.
