What exactly was the foundation of a top sect?
Some said it was talent, others said it was resources.
However, from the perspective of the Great Light Temple, the true foundation was actually time.
These dozens of old monks, who looked extremely old and even exuded a deathly aura, were the true foundation of the Great Light Temple!
Some of these people were once the First Seats of the Three Major Zen Halls, some were the First Seats of the Six Major Martial Academies, and some were powerhouses of their respective halls even if they were not First Seats.
When they felt that their own power had begun to decline, they left their positions to the new generation of warriors, while they went into seclusion in the Bodhi Forest to cultivate.
They did not lust for power, nor did they feel that it was unfair, and so on. This was a foundation that had been built up over time, a habit that had been cultivated. For thousands of years, the Great Light Temple had been like this.
If there were no external invasions, they would only be a memorial tablet worshiped in each hall, leaving behind relics to continue protecting the Great Light Temple.
However, if there were external invasions, they would be the last layer of protection for the Great Light Temple. They would burn their last drop of blood for the Great Light Temple!
One of the old monks lifted his head and looked at Shang Tianliang. His expression was emotionless, fearless, and fearless.
He turned to Zong Xuan and said, "Zong Xuan, you are the future of the Great Light Temple, and the future of Buddhism.
We are old, and it is already an honor for us to fight the last battle for the Great Light Temple.
Remember this power. In the future, the Great Light Temple will need to rely on you to revitalize it! "
As the old monk's voice fell, the dozens of old monks formed hand seals together. However, the hand seals they formed were all the same type of hand seals.
Shang Tianliang felt that something was not right. He waved one hand, and the wind and clouds in the air turned into countless sharp blades that fell down. However, they were instantly deflected by the powerful Buddhist Light.
The power of the Buddha's Light integrated into Zong Xuan's body, causing his power to skyrocket. Almost instantly, his entire body was enveloped by the boundless Buddha's Light. It was to the extent that his body couldn't be seen clearly and only a dazzling Buddha's Light could be seen.
Zong Xuan closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, there were only two colors in front of him: the golden Buddhist Light and the other greyish-white power.
That power was something he did not possess. He did not know if this power was the Heaven and Earth Mystic Connection. All he knew was that this power was enough for him to battle Shang Tianliang, and it was enough for him to be qualified to protect the Temple of Great Light!
The Seal of the Vajrayana descended once more. It was like a landslide, like the sky was falling.
The illusory figures of the Wisdom King transformed into a myriad of forms. There was the Great Wisdom King, the Hell Guarding Wisdom King, and the Immovable Wisdom King. All sorts of illusory figures of the Wisdom King finally condensed into a single form, majestic and angry, suppressing evil and slaying devils!
Shang Tianliang's expression was solemn. This kind of power was already comparable to the existence of the Mysterious Realm of Heaven and Earth, and it might even be stronger.
His Withering Fist descended once again, and the power that surpassed time collided with Zong Xuan's Mingwang Seal. Instantly, a huge shockwave erupted.
When Xu Ci saw this, a demon-subduing pestle appeared in his hand, and it completely extinguished the power of Chu Xiu's blade. He said coldly, "Over the past ten thousand years, there have been countless people who have wanted to destroy the Temple of Great Light. You, Chu Xiu, are not the first, nor will you be the last. However, the Temple of Great Light still stands at the peak of the Northern Lands."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right. The foundation that the Temple of Great Light has accumulated over the past ten thousand years is indeed astonishing. However, Abbot Xu Ci, you must know that nothing is absolute."
After returning from the Daluotian lands, Chu Xiu had not only grown in terms of his strength, but also in terms of his horizons.
In the Daluotian lands, there were not just Martial Immortals everywhere. At the very least, every top faction had a Martial Immortal watching over them.
After seeing more than one Martial Immortal and killing more than one Heaven and Earth Elemental Enlightenment Realm cultivator, Chu Xiu's horizons had undoubtedly widened.
In the past, Chu Xiu might have been surprised by the things that the Temple of Great Light had taken out. However, at that moment, he did not think much of it. In fact, it was full of loopholes!
The next moment, Chu Xiu said to Shang Tianliang in a deep voice, "Palace Master Shang, hold on. The power of these old monks won't be able to hold on for long. Hold on until the end. With every death, the power that they can gather will be slightly weaker!"
At that moment, Shang Tianliang was grimacing in pain as he battled with Zong Xuan. It was not that he was weaker than Zong Xuan, but that Zong Xuan's fighting style was like he was fighting with his life on the line.
After all, the power did not belong to Zong Xuan, so he did not have to worry about the backlash of the power. Furthermore, this was a battle to exterminate his sect. If he did not fight with his life on the line, could he possibly hold back? Therefore, in the end, the one being suppressed was Shang Tianliang.
Hearing that, Shang Tianliang merely snorted coldly and said, "I also know that I have to hold on, but the key is, do you think they will give me that chance?"
On the Temple of Great Light's side, some of the old monks might have felt that their power was being greatly depleted. Therefore, they were willing to risk the pain of burning their vital energy, blood, and Primordial Spirit in order to explode with their greatest power and provide it to Zong Xuan.
Therefore, at that moment, it was not their weakest, but their strongest. They had beaten Shang Tianliang to the point where he had to cover his head and flee like a rat.
On Wei Shuya's side, he was also entangled with the formation. Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "Elder Wei, attack the southwest, where Xu Jing is. Although the three of them have integrated the power of the formation into one, Xu Jing is good at divination and is the weakest in terms of power. If we attack his position forcefully, we can cause the formation to lose balance! "
Wei Shuya nodded and immediately began to attack Xu Jing's position.
Xu Ci's heart sank when he saw Chu Xiu reveal the Temple of Great Light's trump cards and weaknesses with just a few words.
In reality, no martial arts technique or existence in this world was perfect. They all had weaknesses, and the Temple of Great Light's trump cards were naturally the same. It was not surprising that they had been discovered.
However, Chu Xiu had been able to discover the easiest weakness so quickly. His battle instincts were terrifyingly sharp!
Xu Ci did not dare to wait any longer. The demon-subduing pestle in his hand exploded with a blinding Buddhist light, and he smashed it down on Chu Xiu.
He slashed with his saber, combining the saber will of the Shattering Formula with the Ethereal Slash. Chu Xiu used his full strength with every slash. The powerful Primordial Qi of the universe wrapped around his body like a storm, suppressing Xu Ci to the point where he could not even lift his head.
The power he had accumulated after cultivating in the Daluotian for a year had allowed Chu Xiu to completely rival a powerhouse in the Ethereal Opening Realm.
His hands formed a seal, and a Buddha's demonic form appeared behind Chu Xiu.
On his right was the Mahakala Demon God, and on his left was Vairocana.
The two merged into one, and the boundless Buddhist light and Apocalyptic Fire enveloped Xu Ci.
Although Chu Xiu had not seen the Daluotian Treasure Temple in action, the Temple of Great Light's legacy should have come from the Daluotian Treasure Temple of Great Light.
The Sanskrit Sect and the Treasure Temple of Great Light had been fighting for many years before ancient times, and within the Daluotian, they had been fighting for tens of thousands of years. The Mahakala Temple of Great Light was created by the Sanskrit Sect to fight against the Treasure Temple of Great Light.
Therefore, when Chu Xiu used the Apocalyptic Fire, it also countered Xu Ci's Temple of Great Light's martial arts.
Most importantly, Chu Xiu was also proficient in orthodox Buddhist martial arts. Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy, he was able to counter the Temple of Great Light's martial arts even better.
Xu Ci frowned, and thousands of Buddhist lands appeared around him once again. Be it the Buddhist light or the Apocalyptic Fire, they all swallowed everything within, digesting and killing it.
In the next moment, an endless sharp gleam shone from the center of the two-faced Buddha, and the saber that broke through the formation brought with it an indomitable aura that tore the entire world apart as it slashed towards Xu Ci.
To be able to unleash two powerful martial arts techniques at the same time was something that Chu Xiu had cultivated in the Daluotian, and it was a powerful control over martial arts.
Although Xu Ci was surprised, he still gripped the demon-subduing pestle tightly with both hands, and the power around him exploded to the extreme in an instant. The Vajra glared furiously, and the Buddha suppressed the demon!
The demon-subduing pestle collided with the saber's edge, and an extremely loud sound erupted.
However, in the next moment, Xu Ci felt that something was wrong.
He had previously exchanged several blows with Chu Xiu. Although they had only exchanged a few blows, based on his intuition as a martial artist, he felt that there was something wrong with Chu Xiu's formation breaking technique this time, and it was not the same as before.
In the next moment, a glaring Buddhist light bloomed in Xu Ci's eyes. What had collided with his demon-subduing pestle was not a formation breaking technique. Instead, it was a crescent-shaped saber with cracks and nicks!
"Illusion!"
Xu Ci's heart was immediately filled with horror.
He didn't dare to believe that he had actually unknowingly fallen for Chu Xiu's illusion.
In fact, this move was learned by Chu Xiu from Moriha.
Xu Ci was right. Chu Xiu's talent and acuity in combat were simply terrifying.
Even when Chu Xiu recalled Moriha's powerful illusory technique, he still felt shocked. It could be said that the slightest mistake in that battle could determine the outcome of the battle.
Therefore, later, Chu Xiu also found time to study Moriha's illusory technique. After all, his mental strength was not weak.
Although he couldn't turn illusions into reality like Moriha, making everything illusory and real, and he couldn't even touch his roots, he could still use his powerful mental strength in a fierce battle and imperceptibly change his position.
He did not know what Moriha's cultivation technique was called, so this move was named the True Illusion Technique by Chu Xiu.
The Boundless Universe, dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows. Which one was real, and which one was fake?
At this moment, the moment Xu Ci saw the crescent-shaped saber, he was even more horrified.
Because he guessed from the shape of the crescent-shaped saber that it was Dugu Weiwei's demonic saber, Listen to the Spring Rain!
Chu Xiu actually got the demonic saber, Listen to the Spring Rain! Did he get it from the place where Dugu Weiwei and Ning Xuanji fought?
Messy thoughts echoed in Xu Ci's mind, but the next moment, his heart was filled with crisis.
Because he suddenly realized why Chu Xiu used an illusion to replace the saber in his hand with Listen to the Spring Rain. Where was the other saber?
In the blink of an eye, a powerful Buddhist light suddenly burst out from Xu Ci's body, and countless Sanskrit words lingered around him.
Almost at the same time, in the thick world-destroying fire, the saber appeared and slashed horizontally, sending Xu Ci, who was fighting against Listen to the Spring Rain, flying. The saber slashed the center of the demon-subduing pestle, directly cutting it in half!
