What should I do? If the Small Perfection of Wisdom can't resolve my current predicament, it's just quenching my thirst with poison. Zhou Wen kept thinking, hoping to find a solution.
Although the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra and the Eight Perfections Wisdom couldn't free Zhou Wen from the pain, it made his thoughts and senses sharper. He could observe details that he couldn't previously sense.
Even without a mirror, Zhou Wen could sense all the details of the protrusion of his neck. He could even clearly see the details beneath his skin.
Under the effects of the Eight Perfections Wisdom, Zhou Wen felt as though his body had turned transparent in his consciousness. He could use his consciousness to see many details in his body, or rather, to sense the minute details of his body. It wasn't true vision.
This should be the Seventh Sense mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures, right? Zhou Wen could clearly sense that under the spiral jade protrusion on his neck, it wasn't as simple as a lump.
Beneath the lump, there were many invisible filaments that penetrated deep into his blood vessels and muscles. As they were too fine, they couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
The filaments seeped into his body like a spider web, coiling around his flesh and bones. His entire neck was rooted by the filaments, and they were still spreading to various parts of his body. Even his brain was being infiltrated.
Now, Zhou Wen finally knew why it was useless to sever the lump. As the saying went, weeds would grow again if the roots weren't removed.
However, it was useless to remove the lump on the surface. He had to remove the filaments inside to truly resolve the danger he was in.
However, the power of the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra and the Eight Perfections Wisdom could only allow him to see the problem, but not solve it.
Powers like Torch Dragon couldn't do anything to a power that directly penetrated his body. Unless Zhou Wen wanted to be killed by the Bright Torch Vision World, he had to think of another solution.
Doctor Darkness was considered the best in this aspect, but even his poison couldn't destroy the filaments. It was obvious how powerful this thing was.
Thankfully, I still have the Substitute Talisman on me. Furthermore, I still have the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon. If I have no choice, I'll perish together with this strange snail. With the Substitute Talisman and the Six-Winged Guardian Dragon, I should be able to survive. It might not be the same, Zhou Wen thought.
However, that was the last step he had to take. As long as there was a solution, Zhou Wen didn't want to take that final step.
Since the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra can let me see it, is there really no way to resolve it? Furthermore, my insights still haven't advanced the Small Perfection of Wisdom to the Epic stage, nor have I condensed a Life Soul. Clearly, my insights aren't completely correct … Zhou Wen thought hard.
The treasure light on his body became more and more translucent. However, under the pressure of the powerful force, his physical body was almost unable to withstand it. Even his bones were creaking from the pressure, as if they would break at any moment.
Zhou Wen could sense that a huge snail shell was pressing down on him. The snail shell couldn't be seen or touched with the naked eye, but the pressure existed. It was extremely odd.
"Since I can't control the body with my mind, why don't I do the opposite? If I don't even have this life, what's the point of having an afterlife? With a thought, Zhou Wen reversed the Small Perfection of Wisdom Sutra.
Zhou Wen originally imagined that reversing the Small Perfection of Wisdom would definitely cause his body to be severely injured, but he soon realized that after reversing the Small Perfection of Wisdom, he could still circulate it smoothly without any obstruction. It was as though that was how it should be.
Zhou Wen's heart suddenly stirred as he recalled the three-faced Buddha in Small Buddha Temple. The three-faced Buddha had three faces, and they weren't all benevolent. They were somewhat different from ordinary Buddha statues.
Could it be that … the Small Perfection of Wisdom isn't a pure Buddhist Essence Energy Art … Three sides … Then, what's the last side? Zhou Wen seemed to figure out something.
With the reversal of the Small Perfection of Wisdom, the Eight Perfections Wisdom also changed. Zhou Wen, who was originally in a state of separation between his mind and body, fused his spirit and body once again.
The extremely itchy feeling immediately returned to Zhou Wen, making him go crazy from the itch.
However, almost at the same time, this maddening itch filled Zhou Wen's body with strength. The more his body hurt and itched, the more excited he became. Not only did he not feel pain, but he also felt a sense of joy. It was as though he had the urge to tear apart and destroy everything.
Humans have three sides. One is Buddha, and the other is fiend. When Buddha appears, I'm Buddha. When fiend appears, I'm fiend. When Buddha and fiend don't appear, I'm my true self …
As Zhou Wen constantly gained insight, his essence, vitality, and Life Providence erupted with terrifying power, causing his body to glow and emit a shocking treasure glow. It was as though an indescribable power was being nurtured in his body.
Zhou Wen wasn't unfamiliar with this power. It was the manifestation of a Life Soul.
However, it was different from the previous Life Souls he condensed. The Life Soul this time wasn't an illusory object like Zero Taboo, nor was it a corporeal object like Lost Country. It wasn't an independent entity like the Inverse Ancient Sovereign.
Zhou Wen's Life Soul seemed to be his body. Using his body as a Life Soul was something that few people had seen since ancient times.
Crack! Crack!
As the Life Soul condensed, the jade lump on Zhou Wen's neck cracked open. Thin threads that were almost invisible peeled out from his body.
It was as though invisible transparent hair had automatically drilled out of his body. However, it wasn't because the thin threads had drilled out by themselves. It was because Zhou Wen's body had undergone a strange change. He could no longer be attached to by external objects, so the thin threads had no choice but to leave his body.
The thin threads left Zhou Wen's body and condensed together. Soon, they turned into a transparent snail. On its back was a milky-white snail shell. It was the one Zhou Wen had dug out from the rhinoceros' stomach.
Its small eyes sized up Zhou Wen, who was glowing brightly, as though it was thinking about something. However, when it glanced at Torch Dragon beside it, it finally lowered its head and burrowed into the bone sand. As though it had turned invisible, it vanished in the blink of an eye.
As for Zhou Wen's body, it had already turned crystalline like jade. His entire body was like a Godfiend, as though he was nurturing immense energy. A vertical eye appeared at his glabella. At the instant the vertical eye closed, it was as though the door to hell had opened. Countless vengeful souls and wraiths were wailing and roaring inside.
Zhou Wen himself seemed to have become a demon king as his entire body emitted a terrifying aura of death.
The Small Perfection of Wisdom had finally condensed a Life Soul, but this Life Soul looked a little strange no matter how he looked at it.
Zhou Wen dispelled his Life Soul and his body returned to normal. The protrusion on his neck had vanished, and the pressure on his body had vanished. At the same time, he came to a realization.
"Hell King?" Zhou Wen muttered to himself as he recited the name of his Life Soul.
