When they heard that the Holy Buddha Supreme had invited them, everyone raised their eyebrows. It should be known that the Holy Buddha Supreme's status was lofty, and he could be said to be the Mount Tai and the Big Dipper of the North. In the past hundred years, only a few people had been summoned to the Rebirth Pagoda. They never expected that Ying Feiyang would actually have such an honor.
Ying Feiyang had his doubts, but under everyone's gaze, he said calmly, "I'll have to trouble Master Chuxin to lead the way."
Shi Chuxin nodded. He led Ying Feiyang in front, while the two King Ming carried the unconscious Mu Zixuan behind them. They walked up the long mountain steps.
After entering the mountain gate, they saw the temple inside the temple. It was grand and dignified, worthy of being called the holy land of Buddhism. However, Ying Feiyang, who was here for the first time, didn't pay attention to the scenery. After a long silence, he finally said to Shi Chuxin, "Master, when do you plan to ask me about the Holy Daughter?"
Shi Chuxin replied calmly, "Since Benefactor Ying has returned from Jinping Mountain Villa, it proves that the Holy Daughter is safe. There's no need for me to ask."
Ying Feiyang said, "Although her life isn't in danger, she's still in a deep sleep. It's too early to say that she's safe. Isn't Master worried?"
Shi Chuxin was still calm. "This is the Holy Daughter's tribulation, and it's also her karma. It doesn't make a difference whether I'm worried or not."
Ying Feiyang smiled. "If I hadn't seen Master suffer in place of the Holy Daughter when I went to Jinping Mountain Villa, I might have believed it."
Ying Feiyang was mocking Shi Chuxin for pretending to be the Holy Daughter and distracting the pursuers for the real Holy Daughter Ling Xin. However, Shi Chuxin didn't show any embarrassment when he mentioned the past. He put his palms together and lowered his head. "The Holy Daughter's great wish is fulfilled, and she will be the dawn of the dark world, illuminating the Three Thousand Whirling Realms. If we're too close to her, it'll be like holding the sun, burning ourselves and hurting others. Now that we're neither too close nor too far, it's just right. "
Ying Feiyang, however, disagreed. "You and the Goddess are related by blood. It's human nature to be concerned about her. If you deliberately alienate her to sever your ties with the mortal world, in my opinion, that's hurting both you and yourself."
Shi Chuxin did not argue. He merely smiled and said, "Benefactor Ying, I said 'we' just now, not 'I'."
Without waiting for Ying Feiyang's response, he continued, "Benefactor Ying Feiyang, I want to escort Mu Zixuan into the Prison of Oblivion. The Supreme Buddha is at the Pagoda, so I'll have to invite Benefactor Ying Feiyang to the pagoda alone."
As they spoke, they arrived at the Rebirth Pagoda. The moment they stepped into the pagoda, Ying Feiyang felt his heart tremble. He didn't know what Chu Chuyi's words meant.
As soon as he entered the pagoda, it was as if he'd entered the boundary between Yin and Yang. The pagoda was filled with a clear Buddhist light and abundant Holy Qi, and it was like a pure and holy land. But Ying Feiyang felt a pure and strong malice seeping out from under his feet, making him feel as if he was walking into the Nine Nether Abyss.
The bricks under his feet were hollow. There should be another secret door. The pagoda seemed to be suppressing a struggling living creature, causing the bricks to vibrate rhythmically. "Dong, dong, dong." Ying Feiyang's heart beat along with the rhythm. Not long after, he felt nauseous.
"What a Prison of Oblivion, it's really evil!" Ying Feiyang suppressed the nausea and exclaimed in his heart.
Between heaven and earth, the evil and the pure always existed side by side. It was like the Kunlun Mountain, the hub of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth. Below it was the Nine Nether Ghost Abyss. The Buddhist Heart Monastery, which had stood for thousands of years, could be said to be the holy land of Buddhism. The Prison of Oblivion suppressed under the monastery was also evil to the point that it could be called an abyss of all evil. Before Ying Feiyang even stepped into the Prison of Oblivion, he already felt uncomfortable.
Fortunately, not only did Ying Feiyang not plan to enter the Prison of Oblivion, he even hoped that he would never step into the prison for the rest of his life.
He knew that the method to open the Prison of Oblivion must involve secrets. He wanted to avoid it, so he didn't stay any longer. He bid farewell to Shi Chuyi and the King Of Ming, then looked at the unconscious Mu Zixuan. After a sigh, he secretly hoped that this look would be the final farewell and that they would never meet again. Then, he walked up the spiral stairs and climbed up the Rebirth Pagoda.
As soon as he climbed up the Rebirth Pagoda, Ying Feiyang felt a vast, vast, and gentle True Essence permeate the pagoda. It turned into threads of Buddhist light that shone on his body. It was like snow melting in spring. The nauseous chill that made Ying Feiyang's heart palpitate instantly disappeared, allowing him to quickly reach the top of the pagoda with light steps.
Then, the top of the Rebirth Pagoda, the mysterious place of the Buddhist Sect in the world, the top of the Rebirth Pagoda, which had less than ten people in a hundred years, came into view. It was very different from the mysterious rumored place.
The room at the top of the pagoda was no more than thirty square feet. Fortunately, the interior was very simple, so it didn't seem narrow. There was only a bookshelf and a cattail hassock.
On the cattail hassock, a middle-aged monk sat cross-legged, but he seemed to be one with the whole Rebirth Pagoda, majestic and unmoving. He wore an old kasaya and held sarira prayer beads in his hand. He had a square head and big ears. His face was rough, but his eyes were calm and vicissitudes of life. The contradictory temperament merged into one body, giving people the feeling that he was the only one in the world, but also the great mercy of a great wish to save the world.
As soon as Ying Feiyang reached the top, the seemingly solid gaze fell on Ying Feiyang, and a familiar voice came. "Young friend Ying, we meet again."
Ying Feiyang smiled lightly and said, "This is the first time I've climbed the Rebirth Pagoda, and the great monk hasn't left this place for a hundred years. This should be the first time we've met. Why do we meet again?"
"Hahaha, of course. I've misremembered!" Holy Buddha laughed loudly, showing a tacit understanding.
Back then, when he went to rescue Chu Bainiu at Kunlun Mountain, it was with Holy Buddha's help that Ying Feiyang could escape unscathed.
But the vow of "Holy Buddha doesn't enter the world, and the North Dragon doesn't break through" could not be broken, at least not openly. So Holy Buddha had placed his spirit in Shi Chuxun's body. And the one sitting here was the real body of Holy Buddha.
The appearance of the incarnation condensed by the spirit's host body was naturally different from the real body in front of him. It was influenced by both the spirit and the host body, and the appearance seemed to be average between the Holy Buddha Supreme and Shisui Chuyi. But even so, the appearance of the incarnation that he saw that day could only be said to be ordinary. Even Shi Chuxun's handsome face, which was comparable to a peerless beauty, could only be said to be ordinary. One could imagine how rough Holy Buddha's real face was.
But even though their appearances were not the same, the temperament of a real Buddha in his every movement announced that the person in front of him was the Righteous Path's Heavenly Master — Holy Buddha.
"Sit!" After Holy Buddha laughed loudly, he waved his hand and gestured for the guest to take a seat.
There was neither a table nor a praying mat in front of him, but Ying Feiyang didn't care. He lifted the hem of his robe and sat on the ground. He asked, "I wonder why you summoned me, great monk?"
Holy Buddha Supreme was straightforward and said, "What do you think about Lord Buddha's apology to Mu Zixuan?"
Ying Feiyang expected that Holy Buddha would have the same question, so he thought for a moment and said, "I have always respected and feared Mu Zixuan. I thought that this respect came from him having great power and peerless cultivation when he was only in his twenties … But now that his power is gone and his cultivation is ruined, this respect has not decreased but increased. Today, he walked right into the trap and was humiliated in front of the stairs. I admit that it's impossible for me to do that. If he is truly repentant, it's fine. But with his fierce and ruthless character, I'm afraid that even in death, he can still stir up a storm. By then, you, great monk, will be the first to bear the brunt of it … "
After Ying Feiyang said this, he looked at Holy Buddha with slight worry. Like Shi Chuxun, he didn't believe that Mu Zixuan would really quietly repent. He was also worried that Holy Buddha had chosen the lesser of two evils and spared Mu Zixuan's life. Would he raise a tiger to bite him in the future?
And how could Holy Buddha not know about this? But Holy Buddha didn't change his carefree and heroic attitude. He said, "Since Buddha is called Buddha in the human world, he should be the Nirvana of all living beings and bear all the calamities in the world. If Mu Zixuan is really a calamity in the human world, Buddha should be the first person to fill it up! What's more, Buddha's skin and flesh are rough enough. Even if I want to feed the tiger with my body, I'm afraid that the tiger's teeth will break. "
The title of Holy Buddha was never a boast of comparing himself to God or Buddha. It was a fearless and great responsibility of vowing to be Buddha and protect all living beings.
Such bold words made Ying Feiyang feel deep respect. Then, he heard Holy Buddha said, "So, it doesn't matter whether Mu Zixuan has the intention to bite back. The key is whether he still has the ability to bite back after his cultivation is ruined?"
Ying Feiyang said, "Great monk, do you think he has a way to rebuild his cultivation?"
Holy Buddha frowned and said, "If Buddha is Mu Zixuan, putting himself in Mu Zixuan's shoes and exhausting Buddha's boundless great wisdom, I can only find two vague possibilities. It just so happens that both possibilities need to be verified by Little Friend, so I invited Little Friend here for a meeting."
"Oh, I wonder what Great Monk's guess is?"
"During the battle of the Heavenly Book, Little Friend had merged with the Heavenly Book and had a great increase in power for a while, almost comparable to Di Lingtian. When Mu Zixuan swallowed the Heavenly Book with the Glazed Body of Million Treasure, Buddha was wondering if he could also use the power of the Heavenly Book?"
As soon as Holy Buddha said this, Ying Feiyang immediately knew the reason why he was summoned. Only Ying Feiyang, who had gathered all eight Heavenly Book fragments and made the Heavenly Book appear in the world, was qualified to answer. Ying Feiyang lowered his head and said nothing. After thinking carefully, he said, "From what I know, although the Heavenly Book is extremely mysterious, it's not a talisman for killing. I was able to match Di Lingtian for a while not because the Heavenly Book itself has the effect of improving cultivation, but because I borrowed the energy released when the fragments of the Heavenly Book fused together and collided. After the fusion, the Heavenly Book revealed its form from its formless state and stabilized, and this power no longer existed. Therefore, I think that the current Heavenly Book can only guide the positions of the Nine Cauldrons, and it can't let Mu Zixuan, whose cultivation has been crippled, obtain power from it."
This was a matter of great importance. Since Ying Feiyang dared to say so, he was naturally confident. Upon hearing this, Holy Buddha said, "Amitabha, the first possibility is just a guess. After hearing what you said, I can be relieved. However, the second possibility is not a guess, but there is a precedent of resurrection …"
Ying Feiyang understood tacitly and continued, "If the Deva's Five Disintegrations Technique can really give Di Lingtian a trace of vitality, it shouldn't be difficult for Mu Zixuan, whose Sea of Qi and acupoints were destroyed, to reconstruct her body after many years. However … the cultivation of the Deva's Five Disintegrations Technique has an innate restriction. Either she has the blood of a Celestial Being, or she is like me, who accidentally became the reincarnation of the creator of the Six Realms and innately possessed the Stainless Soul. The possibility of the latter can be ruled out. As for whether Mu Zixuan has the blood of a Celestial Being or not …"
Ying Feiyang opened his palm, and a drop of blood condensed in his palm. He said, "After returning to Qing City, I will look for Divine Doctor Chu Baininiu to verify it."
As one of the only two people in the world who had cultivated the Technique of Heaven-Human Five Disintegrations, Ying Feiyang only had a superficial understanding of this divine technique. However, compared to others, his understanding of this divine technique was not bad. He knew that the Technique of Heaven-Human Five Disintegrations could indeed repair the tendons and meridians in the Dantian. Therefore, when he was punishing Mu Zixuan with the Sinful Nails, he also took a drop of Mu Zixuan's blood.
He had come into contact with the memories of the Creator of the Six Realms. The Creator of the Six Realms had once dripped his blood into the wells of a few villages, causing a batch of people with the Deva's blood to be born. However, thousands of years had passed, and the initial villages had long perished in endless wars and disasters. The bloodline was scattered all over the world, but it was also constantly diluted. Perhaps everyone in the world could trace back thousands of years and find an ancestor with the Deva's blood. However, in these hundreds of years, there was only Di Lingtian whose bloodline was truly pure enough to cultivate the Deva's Five Disintegrations Technique.
Ying Feiyang didn't know if Mu Zixuan was also qualified to cultivate the Deva's Five Disintegrations Technique. However, even if there was only a one in a million possibility, he had to be on guard. Therefore, he took Mu Zixuan's blood.
"You brat, you've really saved me a lot of trouble. You didn't even need me to instruct you to do it, and you've already done it." Ying Feiyang's small action of taking the blood naturally couldn't escape the Holy Buddha Supreme's eyes. He was also quite satisfied. Therefore, he changed the topic and said loudly, "Since you've saved me some time, then use the remaining time to help me relax."
"Buzz ~" Hearing the Holy Buddha Supreme's words, the Star Disciplinary Sword at Ying Feiyang's waist vibrated incessantly and gave off an excited sword cry.
"Huh?" Ying Feiyang was stunned by the sudden change in the Holy Buddha Supreme's words, but he quickly caught up with the Holy Buddha Supreme's thoughts. He knew that the Holy Buddha Supreme wanted to test him, and he also knew that the person before him was a top expert. If he could spar with him, it would be greatly beneficial.
The Holy Buddha Supreme wanted to give pointers, but how could Ying Feiyang not have the intention to test his sword?
Even if the Holy Buddha Supreme didn't bring it up, Ying Feiyang might have found an excuse to test the rumored Ten Directions Buddha Body. Now that the Holy Buddha Supreme took the initiative to speak, it was exactly what he wanted. Ying Feiyang stroked the sword and calmed the Star Disciplinary Sword's restlessness. He asked, "How would you like to test me, monk?"
The Holy Buddha Supreme laughed and said, "It's exactly what it says. Just attack. Take it as helping me relax."
Hearing that, Ying Feiyang raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm just afraid that the sword has no eyes and will hurt you."
The Holy Buddha Supreme waved his sleeves and said, "Don't worry. I'll just sit here and not move. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to hurt a hair on me!"
