The foot-tall Guardian Deity Dharma Idol kept expanding. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a majestic Dharma Idol that was over ten feet tall. Its light was restrained, and its body was as solid as purple gold. It was like a statue made of purple gold. There was also a divine might that the statue did not possess, as if it was looking down on all living things from a high position.
The Guardian Deity had three faces and six arms. The three faces represented fury, compassion, and fortitude. They represented the determination, strength, and compassion to subdue demons and devils.
Each of the six arms held a weapon: a sword, a wheel, a bell, a pestle, a bow, and a saber. Each weapon represented a different meaning. The sword is righteousness, the wheel is perfection, the bell is wisdom, the pestle is ferocity, the bow is agility, and the blade is destruction.
His feet stepped on nine layers of lotuses, signifying that his Pure Dharma Physique was not tainted by slaughter and was not tainted by sin.
The Guardian Deity was one of the Buddhist sects' strongest combat deities. He could eliminate disasters, destroy evil, slay demons, and protect all living beings. He was the most awe-inspiring, ferocious, and good at fighting.
Therefore, his Dharma Form was not the common golden color of Buddhism. Instead, it was a dark gold-like deep purple.
The secret scripture shone with divine light and transformed into the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form. Wherever the divine light covered, there were thousands of flying fairies the size of a palm sprinkling fresh flowers, and the solemn chanting of sutras seemed to come from beyond the sky.
When Yuan Xing saw this, he was no longer in the mood to curse. He was completely dumbfounded.
The Vajra Wisdom King Mantra stored in the Lower Courtyard of the Dragon Subduing Sect was the only original copy of the Zhen Yan Sect. This secret manual was said to have been personally passed down by the Guardian Deity, and the Guardian Deity had left a powerful spiritual imprint on it.
Only by resonating with the divine sense inheritance imprint in the secret scripture and obtaining a trace of the divine sense imprint would one be able to cultivate the Vajra Vidyaraja Mantra.
The Vajra Vidyaraja Mantra was a top-tier Buddhist mantra, and it excelled in combat. Those who were qualified to learn this technique in the Zhen Yan Sect would all come to the Dragon Subduing Academy to learn the incantation.
The stronger the resonance between a cultivator and the Guardian Deity's spiritual imprint, the more spiritual imprints they would obtain and the deeper their understanding of the Guardian Deity Mantra would be.
From the day Yuan Xing became a novice monk, he had been staying in the Hall of Scriptures. Over the past hundred years, he had seen countless people practice the Guardian Deity Mantra. However, he had never seen such a majestic phenomenon.
The celestial maidens scattered flowers, and the Buddhas sang praises. The Guardian Deity had descended with his true form. What kind of situation was this?
Yuan Xing had initially looked down on Gao Zhengyang, thinking that he only knew how to show off his eloquence and compose useless poems. If he couldn't reach the Heaven Rank at this age, then there was practically no hope for him in the future.
Normally, if a person couldn't step into the Heaven Rank before the age of twenty, they wouldn't be able to achieve anything great in the future.
Thus, true peak powerhouses had already reached the Heaven Rank. His name spread far and wide when he was young. Experts who matured late in life like Hui Ming were truly too, too few.
Not to mention the fact that Gao Zhengyang had switched to practicing incantations halfway, it was even more impossible for him to achieve anything!
Yuan Xing had never imagined that Gao Zhengyang would be able to trigger a phenomenon when he received the inheritance and trigger the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form.
Under normal circumstances, one would be able to activate the Guardian Deity Dharma Idol as long as they opened the secret manual. But that Dharma Idol was only a foot-tall phantom.
The Guardian Deity Dharma Idol that Gao Zhengyang had activated was more than ten feet tall. Its body seemed to be cast from purple gold, and it had a high and mighty divine might. This was the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form.
According to the records, in the thousands of years of history of the True Word Sect, there were only two people who had triggered the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form when they received the inheritance. One of these two people was the founder of the sect, and the other was the great founder who had carried the True Word Sect forward.
Yuan Xing had thought that those records were exaggerated. It wasn't just the Buddhist sects, Daoist sects, and Confucian sects. All kinds of records were extremely exaggerated. He had long since died.
Gao Zhengyang could actually make the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form appear. This was too shocking!
Although Yuan Xing was a Buddhist disciple, he had done many bad things, but he had never been punished by Buddha or Bodhisattva. Thus, he didn't believe in Buddhism, nor did he have a reverent heart. However, in front of the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form, he was truly afraid.
In the past 100 years, Yuan Xing had done too many shameful things!
"Guardian Deity's Dharma Form!"
Just as Yuan Xing was trembling, Dustless suddenly appeared. As he looked at the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form, his already large eyes widened. Compared to Yuan Xing's fear, he was even more shocked.
The Guardian Deity's Dharma Form paused in the air for a moment before striding over to Gao Zhengyang. The hand holding the bell gently shook Gao Zhengyang's forehead.
The crisp jingle of the bell didn't seem to ring in his ears, but from the depths of his heart.
Gao Zhengyang's eyes were slightly closed, and a calm and indifferent smile appeared on his face. It was as if he had heard an extremely beautiful piece of music, and his heart was intoxicated by it.
Yuan Xing felt that the sound of the bell was like thunder, causing his blood to boil. His Divine Palace seemed like it was about to split apart.
Dustless's tall body also swayed, and his ferocious face became even longer and gloomier.
After the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form flashed past the golden bell, he formed a Prajna Seal and pointed his middle finger between Gao Zhengyang's eyebrows. His tall, dignified body transformed into a beam of divine light that entered Gao Zhengyang's forehead.
The dancing fairies in the sky, the falling flowers, and the chanting of sutras all dissipated along with the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form.
Everything that had just happened seemed like an illusion. There were no longer any traces.
Dustless sank into deep thought. He was just one step away from attaining Stage Nine, so he had a deeper understanding of gods and Buddhas.
Over the past 10,000 years, the laws of the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi had become increasingly strict. Whether it was gods, Buddhas, or Demon Gods, these extraordinary existences were all rejected by the laws of the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, unable to exist in this world.
Thus, over the past 10,000 years, there had been fewer and fewer miracles. The gods of the Daoist sects and the Buddhas of the Buddhist sects had all become clay sculptures. Even the three Holy Emperors who had founded the new era had vanished without a trace, never to appear again.
Over the past 10,000 years, although the human race hadn't been able to become the overlords of the world, they had developed their own civilization and strength.
To powerhouses at Dustless's level, gods and Buddhas were just people with greater power. They were at a higher level, but they weren't omnipotent.
Dustless didn't revere gods and Buddhas, but he envied them for being able to transcend heaven and earth and be immortal and indestructible.
Thus, after the initial shock, Dustless discovered that the Guardian Deity's True Body Dharma Idol in front of him was a relatively powerful Dharma Idol. It wasn't the Guardian Deity.
However, being able to do this also showed that Wukong's talent was incomparably compatible with the Guardian Deity Mantra. Only then could he activate the resonance of the divine sense imprint left behind by the Guardian Deity and even reveal his True Body Dharma Idol.
This Guardian Deity Mantra had been soaked in dragon blood, and the Demon Dragon's aura had already penetrated deep into the Guardian Deity's divine sense imprint. The stronger the resonance that Wukong activated, the more Demon Dragon's aura he absorbed.
"If he can survive the dragon blood contamination and not fall, perhaps I can really take him into the True Word Sect."
Dustless was a true human, so he had a lot of feelings for the True Word Sect. Seeing how good Gao Zhengyang's aptitude was, he really wanted to take Gao Zhengyang in.
However, after participating in the great ceremony and being infected by the Demon Dragon's blood essence, Gao Zhengyang's intelligence and body would be contaminated. In addition, he had already absorbed the dragon soul's aura, so it would be easy for him to transform into a demon.
If he really became a demon, he naturally wouldn't be qualified to inherit the True Word Sect's inheritance.
Dustless had succumbed to Selflessness. Lustful. However, deep down, they still considered themselves humans and loathed the Demon Race.
At the thought that Gao Zhengyang might become one of them, Dustless's stiff face softened.
After waiting for a while, Gao Zhengyang slowly opened his eyes. A purple-gold light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared and returned to normal.
"You're awake." Dustless tried his best to smile peacefully and asked softly.
Gao Zhengyang had never seen Dustless before, but he could guess at his appearance. He said apologetically, "I've actually alarmed Master Dustless. My sin."
"It doesn't matter." Dustless said amiably, "You were able to activate the resonance of the Guardian Deity's True Body Dharma Idol, which shows that you have an exceptional talent for cultivating incantations. In time, your future is limitless. "
Gao Zhengyang didn't know what Dustless was up to, so he could only reply with a smile. "Master, you flatter me. I've never learned incantations, so I don't know anything about them. In the future, I'll have to ask Master to give me more guidance. "
"Of course, that's no problem." Dustless agreed readily. "In the future, if you have any doubts, feel free to come to me."
Dustless looked fierce, but he tried his best to look amiable, which was quite funny.
Gao Zhengyang felt strange, but his face didn't change. He cupped his hands and said, "It's too late today. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll take my leave first."
After accepting the inheritance of the Guardian Deity Mantra, there were many things he hadn't figured out yet. He urgently needed to find a place to study it. Naturally, he didn't want to stay any longer.
Dustless's strange appearance also made Gao Zhengyang feel uncomfortable. It was better to leave early.
Gao Zhengyang said to Yuan Xing, "Senior Brother, uh, why are you kneeling on the ground …"
Yuan Xing, who was kneeling on both knees, blushed. The Guardian Deity was intimidated by his power. He was trembling with fear and had no idea when he had knelt down.
Only when Gao Zhengyang spoke to him did he realize that something was wrong. He hurriedly got up and laughed dryly. "I was too excited when I saw the Guardian Deity's Dharma Form."
Gao Zhengyang gave him face and didn't ask any more questions. After bowing to Dustless, he floated away.
Yuan Xing stared blankly for a moment before hurriedly following behind. He saw Gao Zhengyang out of the door before turning back.
"Master!" Yuan Xing said somewhat guiltily. "The Guardian Deity's Dharma Form has appeared. Is the Buddha punishing us …"
Yuan Xing's voice grew softer when he saw Dustless's increasingly gloomy expression.
Dustless shouted angrily, "Trash! The Guardian Deity is in the Meru Buddhist Realm. How could he descend here? We are the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas here. "
Yuan Xing lowered his head, not daring to speak. He had followed Dustless since he was a child and was extremely respectful of him. No matter how powerful the Guardian Deity was, he was far from being as scary as Dustless.
"Since Wukong has absorbed the dragon soul aura, he can't run even if he wants to."
Dustless instructed, "Don't bother with him anymore. Focus on preparing for the grand ceremony. "
Yuan Xing hurriedly nodded. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yuan Ming, Yuan Tong, and the others seem to have other ideas. They might want to harm Wukong."
Dustless snorted coldly. "Yuan Tong is relying on the sect master's support to become bolder and bolder."
