"Revered One of the World, Senior Brother Long Shituo is in outer space."
Master Zhi Yuan returned from outer space with the Revered One of the World Maharoni.
He put his palms together. "I contacted Senior Brother Long Shituo, but he said he was ashamed to face the Buddha and did not dare to enter the Yanhuang World."
In the Buddhist Kingdom of the Aparagodaniya Continent, there were eight fourteenth-level monks besides the Revered One of the World Maharoni. They were known as the Eight Divine Monks.
Miao Kunluo, Master Jiashu, Master Shuming, Master Cheng Mo, Master Bao Hua, and Zen Master Ye Jing had all died in Chang'an.
Now, only Master Zhi Yuan and Long Shituo were left.
Previously, Master Zhi Yuan had left the Yanhuang World with the Revered One of the World Maharoni to outer space. Now, they had returned together.
Long Shituo had left the Yanhuang World in the early years to travel.
After receiving the emergency call from the Aparagodaniya Continent, this fourteenth-level monk had rushed back. However, he hesitated and stopped in the void outside the Yanhuang World.
After Master Zhi Yuan got in touch with him, he immediately reported to the Revered One of the World. "Senior Brother Long Shituo caused a calamity. Although he was not injured, he was attacked by an external demon, which caused an internal demon to grow in his heart. He is barely holding on, and has not lost his mind and started killing."
At this point, Master Zhi Yuan sighed. "Senior Brother is worried that if he really starts killing, he will not be able to suppress the evil and killing intent in his heart. At that time, he may not be able to distinguish between friend and foe, and harm our Buddhist disciples."
Hearing this, the Revered One of the World's expression was calm. "It's fine. Tell him to come see me."
Master Zhi Yuan put his palms together. "Yes, Revered One of the World."
He bid farewell to the Revered One of the World Maharoni and flew out of the Yanhuang World.
The Revered One of the World turned to the east.
The pressure from that place was getting stronger and stronger.
The Revered One of the World stood on the sea silently.
After a long time, Master Zhi Yuan returned.
The person who came with him to the Revered One was another middle-aged monk.
However, although he was a monk, his current situation was extremely strange.
Half of his body was draped in a kasaya, and his Buddhist light shone.
The other half of his body was pitch-black, as if it had been tainted by thick ink.
From time to time, frenzied roars could be heard coming from the darkness. It was as if countless demons were hiding within.
The bloody and ruthless killing intent instantly washed away the peaceful Buddhist light on the other half of his body.
The monk was Long Shituo, one of the Eight Divine Monks of the Aparagodaniya Continent's Buddhist Kingdom. He was known for his wisdom and kindness.
But now, half of the monk's face was covered by darkness, making it look ferocious.
"Greetings … Revered One of the World …"
With some difficulty, Long Shituo put his palms together and bowed to the Revered One Mahabharani.
With this action of putting his palms together, one side of his hands was pitch-black while the other was colored glaze. The Buddha's Light collided violently with the ink-like darkness. It looked like he was hitting himself.
The Revered One of the World looked at him with a compassionate expression. "How long has it been?"
Long Shituo sighed. "It's been a while."
The Revered One of the World asked, "Why don't you go to the Ci Hang Pure Land and find Bodhisattva to resolve it?"
"Half of my body has been corroded by an external demon, and I can't control myself." Long Shituo forced a bitter smile. "The evil demon isn't completely spiritless. It knows that the Benevolent Travel Pure Land is doomsday for 'it', so it refuses to go. It's not easy for me to keep my spiritual altar clear. I can't persuade 'it'."
The Revered One of the World nodded. "It does have spirituality."
In front of him, Long Shituo's expression became more and more difficult.
The darkness that occupied half of his body seemed to have a life of its own. At this moment, it was like a frightened beast, restless.
Long Shituo wanted to turn around and escape because of 'it'.
But after sensing the movement of this external demon, Long Shituo felt joy in his heart.
Just like how he was afraid of going to the Benevolent Travel Pure Land, this evil demon also felt fear.
The source of his fear was the Revered One Mahabharani in front of him.
"Revered One of the World, have you cultivated the Golden Body of Arhat?" Long Shituo's half of his face that was still intact revealed joy.
"Buddha is merciful." The Revered One of the World nodded and stretched out a hand.
His palm turned into a pure gold color and pressed on Long Shituo's half of his body.
The ink-like darkness immediately showed a scene of boiling.
But Long Shituo felt relieved.
The evil demon was firmly suppressed by the Revered One of the World and was gradually being removed from his body.
"With such spirituality, there should be a foundation." The Revered One of the World's expression was normal. "It seems to be a heavenly demon that cultivated the Transformation of Qiong Qi."
Both Master Zhi Yuan and Long Shituo had solemn expressions.
The so-called heavenly demons were existences that surpassed the peak of the Demonic Dao True Body.
In the history of the Flameyellow World, there had never been a heavenly demon, so this concept was unfamiliar to most people.
The Aparagodaniya Buddhist Kingdom's Pure Land and the Benevolent Travel Pure Land had closer ties, so they had some understanding of the relevant aspects.
Beyond the heavens, there was also a flourishing Demonic Dao legacy.
In their description, the first nine realms of the Demonic Dao could be summarized as human demons.
The five realms of the Demonic Dao True Body were earth demons.
Above the human demons and earth demons were heavenly demons.
They were arrogant demon masters that could be compared to Buddhist dao immortals and Daoist Grand Luo.
The fifteenth realm above the peak of the Demonic Dao True Body was commonly known as faceless heavenly demons. They could contend against Buddhist arhats and Daoist heavenly lords.
When Long Shituo traveled beyond the heavens, he had accidentally touched an item left behind by a heavenly demon that cultivated the Transformation of Qiong Qi. As a result, he had been corroded by the other party.
Fortunately, he had a deep foundation in Buddhism and was at the peak of the Dharmakaya Realm, the Boundless Realm. Only then could he survive until now and be saved.
Otherwise, he would have been refined into an avatar by that heavenly demon.
He had to thank himself for not knowing about Mahaloni's increase in cultivation level.
Otherwise, the demonic will that corroded him would most likely want to avoid the Benevolent Travel Pure Land and refuse to return to the Flameyellow World.
But now, it had delivered itself to his doorstep.
"This demon's cultivation level is extraordinary. I have no confidence in defeating him."
Mahaloni said, "But it's just a demonic will now. It's insignificant."
The darkness in front of him suddenly distorted, and then a cold face appeared.
This face stared coldly at Mahaloni.
Mahaloni said, "I greet you on behalf of Benevolent Travel Bodhisattva. We have always stood aloof from worldly affairs and have not interfered with each other's business. Please show mercy and don't make things difficult for my Buddhist disciple. He accidentally touched the demonic will left behind by you. It was unintentional."
The dark face stared at Mahaloni for a long time, and then disappeared.
The darkness that entangled Long Shetuo also dissipated.
Long Shetuo and Master Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Mahaloni frowned slightly. "This demon's cultivation level is higher than expected."
Master Zhiyuan said, "Fortunately, he has some reservations about Bodhisattva."
Mahaloni shook his head gently. "Bodhisattva does not like conflict. We should not trouble her."
Long Shetuo's face was pale and weak. "Revered One of the World, what did Bodhisattva say about Chang 'an here?"
Although the demon had retreated, his vitality was greatly damaged, like an ordinary person who had fallen ill.
However, this Buddhist monk who had cultivated the Boundless Dharmakaya had a deep foundation after all.
As he spoke, the glassy Buddhist light on his body shone brightly again, and his face gradually regained its color.
"Bodhisattva is meditating. I'm afraid she will not leave the Benevolent Travel Pure Land." Mahaloni sighed softly. "Fate arises and perishes. Everything returns to dust. Bodhisattva has seen through it, but we have not."
Long Shetuo looked worried. "Then the Flameyellow World …."
Mahaloni said, "Forgive me, Senior Apprentice Brother, but he may bring his disciples to help us. However, he can't leave in the near future and will only arrive later."
Long Shetuo said, "I only heard that Chang 'an is strong, but I do not know the details. Revered One of the World, you have cultivated the Golden Arhat Body. Can't you protect the Aparagodaniya Continent?"
His master shook his head gently. "I may be able to fight, but I am not confident."
Master Zhiyuan said softly, "Senior Brother, you may not know, but the City Lord of Chang 'an personally attacked. With one strike, the entire Aparagodaniya Continent was split in half. Generations of ancestors and I worked hard for many years to unite the Aparagodaniya Continent, but in the blink of an eye, it was split by the City Lord of Chang' an."
Long Shetuo sucked in a breath of cold air. "... It is indeed strength above the fourteenth level."
No wonder the Revered One of the World, Mahaloni, who had cultivated the Golden Arhat Body and was also above the fourteenth level, could not easily win.
"Other than the City Lord, the Evil Emperor, Ming Tonghui, Chang 'an has other experts."
Master Zhiyuan had already understood the situation and explained it to Long Shetuo.
"Then where is Lei Han now?" Long Shetuo pondered. "He made Chang 'an suffer such a great loss. The City of Chang' an will not let it go, right?"
Master Zhiyuan said, "Of course not. There will be a real battle between them sooner or later. However, we may not be able to cooperate with Lei Han."
Long Shetuo nodded slightly.
Although he had left the Flameyellow Realm for many years, he knew that Lu Xueyuan had reincarnated as Jing Hua and joined the Buddhists.
"I will not appear for the time being."
The Revered One of the World said, "Let's leave some leeway for each other. Now is not the time to fight the City Lord of Chang 'an.
However, the City of Chang 'an is constantly slaughtering our Buddhist disciples. We have to stop it in time. I will have to trouble the two of you. "
Master Zhiyuan and Long Shetuo, who had recovered, put their palms together. "Yes, we will obey the Revered One of the World's orders."
After the two monks bade farewell to Mahaloni, they immediately headed east to gather the remaining Buddhist disciples who had fled on the Desolate Sea.
