Compared to the other late Body Integration cultivators that Lu Xiaotian had fought, the Phantom Scorpion King was clearly weaker. Its magic power was inferior to the Wind Bear Monarch's and Chihiro Yeh's Lotus Avatars, and its Spiritual Sense was weaker. Its realm was not stable enough.
The lifespan of the Monster Race was far longer than that of human cultivators, so it would naturally take them a longer time to stabilize their realm.
Usually, there were several ways to stabilize one's realm, and one of the most effective ways was to find an opponent of equal strength to fight. In the case of the Phantom Scorpion King, who had just reached the late-Body Integration Stage, even though Lu Xiaotian was only at the mid-Body Integration Stage, he was a dual cultivator in body and energy. On top of that, the treasures in his possession were no ordinary treasures, and he wasn't inferior to the Phantom Scorpion King by much.
In fact, the lethality of the Phantom Scorpion King's attack was inferior to that of the Wind Bear Monarch. Its strength lay in its ability to come and go without a trace in the Monster Sea. Its whereabouts were strange, making it difficult to distinguish.
Even for a powerhouse like the Wind Bear Monarch, the Phantom Scorpion King was quite difficult to deal with. After all, it was not easy to break the Phantom Scorpion King's ability to hide in the sea.
However, the Phantom Scorpion King happened to encounter Lu Xiaotian, whose Primordial Spirit had grown again. Even if its concealment technique was brilliant, when it was still, even Lu Xiaotian could not distinguish it. However, once it made a move, it would be difficult to escape Lu Xiaotian's Spiritual Sense.
The Phantom Scorpion King's greatest trump card did not have much effect on Lu Xiaotian. It was not surprising that Lu Xiaotian was able to block his attacks one after another.
Of course, if an ordinary mid-Body Integration cultivator were to be in Lu Xiaotian's place, even if they were a dual cultivator, then their life would most likely be hanging by a thread under the Ghostshadow Scorpion King's attacks.
The Phantom Scorpion King did not want to easily fight with other late Body Integration monsters. On the one hand, even if they were in the same camp, his guard against other old Body Integration monsters was not weaker than his enemies. If he could not kill them, the more he attacked, the more his Spiritual Sense would be known by others.
Under normal circumstances, it was not easy to find a sparring partner. In contrast, Lu Xiaotian and the others were holed up in the cave abode like turtles in a jar. As long as he breached the cave abode, countless butterflies would swarm in. At that time, Lu Xiaotian would not be able to escape. Naturally, no one else knew how powerful his divine ability was.
There weren't many late-Body Integration Stage demon beasts in the first place, and for the Phantom Scorpion King, there was no more suitable sparring partner than Lu Xiaotian. As long as he achieved his goal, he could kill Lu Xiaotian in one fell swoop.
The Phantom Scorpion King had only recently made a breakthrough, but so had Lu Xiaotian. He had only recently reached the mid-Body Integration Stage, and the power of his lotus clone had only recently reached this level.
The Phantom Scorpion King benefited a lot from this kind of battle, and Lu Xiaotian's gains were no less than his opponent's. Both sides were taking what they needed.
Although Lu Xiaotian didn't know all of the Phantom Scorpion King's thoughts, the other party left directly, so he more or less knew the other party's general purpose. The Phantom Scorpion King was now using him as a whetstone, and Lu Xiaotian was the same.
Although the battle between the two sides was intense, it had not reached the point of fighting to the death. It was just that Lu Xiaotian didn't know what the variables would be. Right now, he still had to increase his strength as much as possible.
Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed, and he flicked his finger in the air, setting up an aura-isolating barrier around him. At the same time, the Eight Soul Fusion Carp and the lotus clone separated from his body again, drifting outside the barrier. Lu Xiaotian's main body was still entrenched in the same place. Immediately, he stretched out his palm, and a Golden-Leaf Buddha with reddish-gold stems and leaves bloomed like orchids appeared in Lu Xiaotian's hand.
It was the Golden-Leaf Buddha that Lu Xiaotian had taken the risk to obtain from the Hanfeng Bear Emperor. This Golden-Leaf Buddha had been collected for some time, and its spiritual power seemed to have weakened a little compared to before.
"How can this be? This has never happened to the Silver-Leaf Buddha Tree before. "Lu Xiaotian frowned, but fortunately, the loss was extremely small. Pure spiritual power flowed from Lu Xiaotian's palm to the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree.
The Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree, which had lost some of its vigor, actually regained its vitality under the infusion of Lu Xiaotian's spiritual power. Moreover, the long and narrow leaves were flowing with golden light, even more dazzling than before.
There was no need for Lu Xiaotian to make any extra movements. The Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, the sarira, and the Bodhi Moon in his body stirred as if they had been summoned.
Lu Xiaotian did not suppress the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda's nature, and let it emerge from his body on its own. The seven Demon-Suppressing Pagoda came out one after another, encircling the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree. The corresponding sarira of each Demon-Suppressing Pagoda also appeared from the top of the pagoda, like pearls at the top of the pagoda.
The Bodhi Moon Spirit wriggled its chubby body and wandered in the intertwining Buddhist light, strangely enjoying it.
The seven Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, nicknamed the Seven Floor Pagoda. The Battle Monk, the Dark Sky Extreme Sage, the Radiant Sovereign, the Vajra Seal, and the rest of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda all had an image of a monk that looked exactly like Lu Xiaotian.
Under the illumination of the Buddhist light, each image was like a senior monk who had cultivated for many years. Within the seven Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, each image of Lu Xiaotian's Buddha had the same expression, but their auras were different. They were the same as their corresponding Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.
Under the control of Lu Xiaotian's original body, each image of Lu Xiaotian's Buddha clasped its palms together, formed a Buddhist seal, and flew toward the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree.
Once these Buddhist seals landed on the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree, they were completely absorbed by the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree. The seven images of Buddha tirelessly formed one Buddhist seal after another.
As more and more Buddhist seals were absorbed, the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree's blazing golden color was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it. Even Lu Butian's original body couldn't help but feel a piercing pain when he looked directly at it.
However, after the Buddhist seals formed by the images of Buddha were absorbed by the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree, they didn't completely dissipate. Within the dazzling blazing golden light, mysterious Buddhist seals were deriving a myriad of transformations.
Lu Xiaotian cultivated the Mahākāśyapa Sutra, which included the Seven Storied Pagoda, the Sarira, and the Ancestral Buddha Ancient Seal. In fact, these three were completely different cultivation methods. However, through the general principles of the Mahākāśyapa Sutra, he was able to perfectly combine these three seemingly different cultivation methods.
Among them, Lu Xiaotian had been comprehending the Ancestral Buddha Ancient Seal until now. However, when he saw the Buddhist seals formed by the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree, he still felt like his horizons had been broadened.
Even if the blazing golden brilliance was so dazzling that it was difficult to look directly at it. Lu Xiaotian didn't dare to relax in the slightest, lest he miss any details.
If he were to concentrate on his own cultivation, it would take him hundreds or even thousands of years to comprehend the mysteries of the Buddhist seals formed by the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree.
At the same time, the Sarira and the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda's Buddhist light converged with the Golden-Leaf Buddha Tree. Immediately, Lu Xiaotian's Four Immortals transformed into a Buddhist kingdom of intertwining gold and silver.
