(Chapter 2: Before Twelve, There's Chapter 3!)
Chapter 868
Qiankun Tune of Mountains and Rivers.
The light of Buddha filled the sky, and the chanting of Sanskrit rolled out. One after another, ancient Buddhas hung in the night sky. Their expressions were peaceful and benevolent, and their hands were clasped together. The rhythm of the ancient Buddha flowed, and a grand aura enveloped the world, giving people an indescribable sense of serenity. It was as if there was no danger, and they could obtain all the blessings without the slightest shackles on their souls.
Xuanyuan's expression was calm as he sat cross-legged in midair. He lifted his head to look at the dazzling stars and the crescent moon. He smiled like an ancient Buddha as he faced the Purple Mansion Sage's attacks head-on. His aura did not falter at all.
Xuanyuan gently clenched his fist, and the boundless Buddhist Dharma began to circulate. Images of ancient Buddhas appeared in the world, suffering in the world of mortals, and enlightening all living beings. They sacrificed their lives for righteousness, cut off their flesh to feed the eagle, and guided people to do good. Their perseverance and will were far beyond that of ordinary people.
Many people were influenced by Xuanyuan's Buddhist Divine Sense and wanted to convert to Buddhism. They sat cross-legged and attentively felt the Divine Sense and thought of Xuanyuan's Divine Sense in order to find a resonance in their hearts.
The corners of Peng Fei's eyes twitched as he watched from the side. He screamed in disbelief.
Where did he learn such a terrifying Buddhist mystique? Oh, right, the Great Devouring Emperor will definitely be left behind. Sigh, the All Energy-Absorption Body is truly monstrous. I didn't think that this little brat would be able to cultivate a Buddhist mystique to such a level. I'm just making things up. If it were me, I would have been dead by now. This Purple Mansion Sage is really annoying. I'll find a chance to dig up the graves of your Purple Mansion Immortal Sect. Xu Anyuan, you have to win. If you die, they'll come after me! "
Seeing this, Jiang Yan frowned. Xuanyuan's Divine Sense was beyond her expectations. She had always thought that Xuanyuan couldn't be an inheritor of the Buddhist Thearch of the Great Leiyin Temple. But now that he had a Buddhist treasure and cultivated such an exquisite Divine Sense, Jiang Yan felt that her judgment was wrong for the first time.
Qu Zhi Shen looked coldly at the scene before him. He laughed coldly with a hint of schadenfreude. He thought to himself:
He thought to himself, "I didn't think that this Xuanyuan would obtain the inheritance of the Buddhist Thearch. The Great Leiyin Temple is not to be underestimated. Letting the Purple Mansion Sage take action is the right thing to do. If he really kills Su Xuan, even if the Great Leiyin Temple wants revenge, the Western Continent Daoist Sects will not sit idly by and watch the Purple Mansion Immortal Sect be attacked. This will cause a war between Buddhism and Daoism. At that time, they will fight to the death and exhaust their strength. Otherwise, if the Western Continent Buddhist and Daoist sects continue to develop like this, they will become a great threat to us in the future. I'm afraid that for the Purple Mansion Sage, killing a Buddhist prodigy will only bring him benefits.
Otherwise, why would he agree to it without hesitation? "Qu Zhishen was very satisfied with his plan. In the sky, the Purple Mansion Sage's hands began to play the" Moon Embrace "on the zither. In that instant, it seemed as though time had been reversed. The Eight Trigrams on the" Moon Embrace "began to spin. The Taiji diagram began to circulate, and the ancient rhymes began to move. The sounds of the Great Dao rang out incessantly. The sounds were as deafening as heavenly thunder, as the roar of earthen fire, as the rumbling of mountains, as the roar of tsunamis, as the might of the Great Dao became extremely real and terrifying.
"What's going on? How did the entire world change? The Purple Mansion Sage's power is so terrifying!"
"Yes! I can't! I have to retreat! I feel like my physical body is about to shatter!"
"That's right! Don't stay here for too long! A battle between people of this level will drag us into it!"
In the Primordial Era, natural disasters were unrelenting. The human race was terrified by heavenly thunder, fled from earthen fire, had their bodies torn apart by landslides, and wailed in agony in tsunamis. The boundless might of the heavens was unstoppable! These heavenly sounds were like the sharpest weapons that pierced through everyone's consciousness. Those who had been influenced by Xuanyuan's Buddhist dharma were instantly jolted awake. They felt pain in their hearts, and they felt an indescribable fear!
"It looks like Brother Su's Buddhist dharma isn't very profound. In front of the might of the Great Dao, people still choose to be afraid and retreat. Your so-called Buddhist dharma won't be able to do anything to them at all! The facts have proven that the difference between your Buddhist sect and my Daoist sect is too great! Only by being compatible with the Heavenly Dao can one naturally contend against the Heavenly Dao and use the might of the Heavenly Dao to refine one's body! Your so-called Buddhist dharma is nothing more than swindling the power of faith from others to strengthen yourself!
The Purple Mansion Sage smiled faintly, and his long fingers began to play the zither again. Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang …
The music of the Great Dao flowed rhythmically, forming a beautiful picture in front of everyone's eyes. The sky was clear for thousands of miles, with the sun and the moon manifesting as stars surrounding the mountains and rivers. There were thousands of living creatures, flowers, trees, fishes, insects, birds, and beasts … It was filled with the natural rhythm of the Great Dao. It was as if it could pull one's mind into this world and purify one's soul, allowing one to integrate into the world!
Xuanyuan was in the middle of a battlefield, and he had nowhere to run. He was wrapped up in this beautiful picture, and there was no way to escape. The only way to escape was to break it, or he would probably die in it! Xuanyuan instinctively felt that this beautiful picture was full of danger!
"Brother Su, this is the Melody of Qiankun Mountains and Rivers. Take a good look at the supreme concept of Daoism, and you will realize the difference between your Buddhist sect and my Daoist sect. So what if you have the Buddha Thearch's legacy? As long as you can enter my Daoist sect, I guarantee that you will gain even more enlightenment. A completely different cultivation method will definitely allow you to reach a higher level, and your vision of the world will also become broader!"
The Purple Mansion Sage used his words to tempt Xuanyuan's mind and break Xuanyuan's will. Xuanyuan's heart, however, was not shaken by fortune, slander, ridicule, bitterness, or joy. He sat cross-legged in mid-air and recited the Diamond Sutra.
"Flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water, and the dust in the dream, only then will one know that the dust is precious. The painted peony is ultimately an illusion, if there is no root, where will spring come …"
Buddhist light shone brightly around Xuanyuan's body, and the aura of compassion surged. The aura of the nine ancient Buddhas was as heavy as the earth, bearing the weight of all living things. No matter how wild and disobedient it was, no matter how eccentric it was, my heart was as still as a rock. Xuanyuan said calmly,
"It is precisely because of the suffering of the masses that I need to purify them, to dispel the fear in their hearts, and to purify the evil thoughts that have arisen from them. So what if there is a world-destroying natural disaster? The human race has been through the ages, and we have never bowed down to it. Now, the human race is declining because of the hearts of the people. If the hearts of the people are not righteous, the human race will perish one day! Purple Mansion Sage, if you use natural disasters to scare the hearts of the people, I can see how low your achievements will be in the future!"
There was a hint of mockery in Xuanyuan's sigh, and it sent chills down everyone's spines. Xuanyuan actually dared to say something like that? But it was an indisputable fact that the human race was getting weaker and weaker. It was getting weaker and weaker with each generation. In the past, there were at least Thearchs who were known to the world. Now, it was difficult to even find a few Sub-Thearchs who could be put on the table!
"Hmph, Brother Su, you have the nerve to say that I use natural disasters to scare me! This is called a blow to the head! Let them be affected by your mystique! I want to see how long you can last!" The Purple Mansion Sage's expression suddenly became murderous, and a boundless murderous aura circled around his body, forming a purple dragon that soared into the heavens. It spat out a majestic Emperor's aura, which caused the entire space to collapse and the flow of time to be disrupted!
The Purple Mansion Sage raised an eyebrow, and he plucked the strings of his fingers. The sound of a zither rang out, and in that instant, within this originally beautiful world, the sky suddenly transformed into a huge roulette wheel. Dark clouds covered the sky, and the Great Dao descended. Lightning flashed, and purple lightning snakes intertwined with each other. The ground beneath his feet spat out scorching flames that shot into the heavens. It was originally a trap, but with a single thought from the Purple Mansion Sage, it instantly transformed into a living hell.
"That's not necessarily the case. Su Xuan has obtained the Buddha Thearch's inheritance, so he's definitely not that simple. In a battle between prodigies like this, it's not easy to kill one another. It's too early for either of them to use their final trump cards!"
"That's not necessarily the case. Su Xuan has obtained the Buddha Thearch's inheritance, so he's definitely not that simple. It's not easy to kill a prodigy like this in a battle. Neither of them has used their final trump cards yet!"
Xuanyuan didn't feel the slightest bit of fear in the midst of the Heavenly Thunder Inferno Fire. His heart was as calm as an ancient well, and not a single ripple could be felt!
The purple lightning snake struck down from the sky, tearing apart the very fabric of space itself. The Earth Fire beneath its body shot into the heavens like a pillar towards Xuanyuan!
Nine ancient Buddhas surrounded Xuanyuan. Golden light surged, and the Buddhist chants filled the sky, forming a sea of golden lotuses. Countless golden lotuses floated in the sea of golden light, blocking the purple lightning snake and the pillar of fire that shot into the heavens. The Kṣitigarbha Beads in Xuanyuan's hand exploded with a dazzling divine light. It stood firmly in the midst of the Heavenly Thunder Inferno Fire!
The Purple Mansion Sage seemed to have expected this. He wasn't worried at all. In his eyes, Xuanyuan was like a fish in a barrel. He flicked the Moon's Embrace in his hand again.
Clang! In an instant, astral winds rose in all directions. They were as sharp as heavenly blades, and even space itself couldn't withstand their sharpness and shattered. Every gust of astral wind was imprinted with terrifying Dao marks. They were so powerful that even an Earth Immortal would be gravely injured and killed if they were hit by them. Unless there was a supreme-grade immortal, there was no doubt that they would die! Continue reading the next chapter!
