Chapter 244 - 182: Three Great Upgrades

Chapter 244: Chapter 182: Three Great Upgrades

Jing Shiyu, Zhao Wanxi, and the others were continuously rushing toward She Shen Cliff.

Moments later, they arrived at a mountainside location.

There, a young monk adorned in a white robe was sitting cross-legged on a boulder.

With his eyes closed tightly and his hands forming a seal, behind him was a vast and layered Cloud Sea, exuding an aura of transcendence from the mortal world.

What astonished everyone, however, was the divine light constantly emanating from the monk.

That divine light was vast and powerful, shooting into the sky, penetrating deep into the clouds.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone realized that the divine light connecting heaven and earth inside the Da Guangming Temple originated from this young monk before them.

Slowly, the monk’s eyes opened, and a sense of sorrowful compassion emerged.

Under his gaze, filled with kindness and sympathy, everyone felt as if they were being watched by their own parents, who gazed tenderly upon them as children.

Fairy Yunxiao said joyfully, "My Buddha, please guide us on how to find Kunlun Immortal Mountain and ascend to Heavenly Extreme Peak."

The Evil-cutting Sect Master, upon witnessing this scene, immediately said with devout sincerity, "My Buddha above, the Da Guangming Temple has now been occupied by evil spirits. We beseech you to use your Buddhist Law to eradicate these demons."

After hearing their words, however, the monk continued to look at them compassionately, making no move nor giving any response.

In the meantime, hundreds of meters behind the group, numerous monks and Bodhisattvas from Da Guangming Temple, each with a halo of divine light behind their heads, were slowly approaching.

The Zhou Tian Sect Elder flicked his hand, and within a series of afterimages, numerous golden needles threaded with silver lines were inserted into the heads of these arhats and Bodhisattvas.

After completing these acts, the man in the black robe finally breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing the monk bathed in divine light.

A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes as he shouted toward Fairy Yunxiao and the others, "The Great Bright Buddha has long become an evil spirit. Are you all determined to act wilfully blind and protect this demon?"

How could the Evil-cutting Sect Master and Fairy Yunxiao believe such words? They immediately took a stance filled with righteous qi in front of the Great Bright Buddha.

Especially the Evil-cutting Sect Master, who saw through his Evil Suppressing Magic Eye that the monks and Bodhisattvas before him were enveloped in demonic energy, transforming into ferocious demonic shadows – they were indeed the true evil spirits.

In contrast, the Great Bright Buddha behind him radiated with divine light in his vision, completely untainted by any demonic energy.

He spoke coldly, "I have long heard that the Zhou Tian Sect has been secretly cultivating evil spirits. Little did I expect that you have already infiltrated the temple. Today, even at the cost of my life, I will eliminate every one of you."

"Zhou Tian Sect! To commit such atrocities in this holy land of the Buddhist Sect?" Fairy Yunxiao stood beside the Evil-cutting Sect Master, her eyes glinting with fervor as if she too had resolved to protect the sacred Great Bright Buddha behind them.

A great battle seemed imminent.

...

After waiting for some time, Lin Xing began to cleave the statues before him in successive time reversals again, absorbing the dark qi within them, and replaced the second-tier advancement of his Sword Control Technique with the Yu Ling Sword Breath.

Lin Xing didn’t count how many time reversals he went through, only feeling that the second-tier advancements repeated before his eyes became more and more numerous, until finally, his gaze sharply brightened.

Ten Thousand Swords Flying: Instantly release all spiritual thoughts, significantly increasing the number of swords controlled. The stronger the spiritual thoughts, the greater the increase.

Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, "The Ten Thousand Swords Flying has also been obtained, and what’s left is the second-tier advancement of Heavenly Sword Empathy."

He waited again for some time, to ensure that the time reversal wouldn’t regress Ten Thousand Swords Flying, and then began to replace the Heavenly Spirit Sword Formation, the second-tier advancement of Heavenly Sword Empathy.

In these repeated time reversals, Lin Xing gradually began to feel mentally exhausted.

In fact, after ten days and nights of arduous cultivation, followed by continuous time reversals, the past Lin Xing would have already collapsed with fatigue.

It was only because his cultivation had greatly increased and his spiritual thoughts had soared qualitatively that he had managed to last this long, just starting to feel weary.

Yet, when Lin Xing thought of the myriad sins committed by the Great Bright Buddha, righteous qi surged within him, and he had no intention of resting.

Lin Xing thought determinedly, "Now is not the time for sleep. If the Great Bright Buddha remains unextinguished, and if I cannot hold him to account for his evil deeds, how could I possibly sleep at ease?"

"Time reversal! Let’s see where your limits lie!"

Bai Yiyi, observing Lin Xing’s ferocious expression, thought secretly, "That expression... Lin Xing must have been drawing for a long time with no success; he looks almost possessed."

As Bai Yiyi pressed the cat toy, dazzling flames burst forth once more.

Time and again, as Lin Xing’s spirit began to wane, another advancement finally brought a gleam of joy to his eyes.

Heavenly Traveler Sword Domain: Where the sword travels, so establishes the sword domain. Within the sword domain, the wielded swords can autonomously attack and defend, as if bestowed by the heavens. The creator, Heavenly Traveler, left a message: "Those who comprehend the Heavenly Traveler Sword Domain are welcome to join the Emei Sect, with an invitation to attend the entrance ceremony held every June on Emei Mountain."

Gazing upon this third second-tier advancement, Lin Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sensing the energy that connected a thousand mountains and the simultaneous flight of ten thousand swords, Lin Xing further understood how these three sublime arts coordinated with one another and how they enhanced each other.

"No wonder it can form a picture, just the mutual coordination of these three secondary sublime arts is already extremely formidable."

"Unfortunately, I currently have no way to produce the fourth secondary sublime art."

After quietly waiting for a moment, Lin Xing then saw Wuhui, leading a large number of Buddhist statues, hurrying over.

Nodding at him, Lin Xing said, "I need to make a trip to the secret realm; wait here, and later, follow the arrangements from the people in the secret realm to transport the Buddhist statues to the secret realm, understand?"

With a devout nod, Wuhui answered, "I fulfill the directive of the Buddhist law."

Ten minutes later, Lin Xing was seen opening the portal to immortality, stepping through with Bai Yiyi, and returning to the current world.

In the hospital room, the original door had been completely expanded into a double door over five meters high and over six meters wide.

As Lin Xing stepped through the large door, he first looked towards the fully prepared staff at his side, nodded to them, and said, "The Buddhist statues are gathered; find a way to transport them here."

As the staff members one by one entered the immortal portal behind him, Lin Xing’s gaze turned towards the other large door opposite him.

Checking his phone, Lin Xing thought, "Counting the time, it should be about right now, right?"

However, feeling the weariness in his spirit, Lin Xing quickly took out several bottles of Red Horse functional beverage from a cabinet and gulped them down.

A moment later, Lin Xing felt his spirit seemingly revitalized by the effect of the beverage.

At the same time, a familiar feeling welled up, and sensing the immortal portal opening before him, Lin Xing stepped in.

Several soldiers were waiting for him on the other side of the door; upon seeing Lin Xing, they pointed at the arsenal in front of them and said, "All the equipment here has been prepared according to your requirements. Which one will you take this time?"

Looking at the rows of metal boxes before him, Lin Xing said indifferently, "All of them."

The soldier paused and said, "What...?"

"I said, all of them."

With the turn of Lin Xing’s will, the rows of metal boxes floated up, landing in front of the immortal gateway.

Lin Xing looked at the large amount of weaponry before him and thought, "By common sense, in the current world, it’s impossible to defeat a fully-armed opponent with bare hands."

"In the Mirror World, the gap in one’s realm is often something no weapon can make up for."

"But if it’s the supernatural powers of the Mirror World plus the weapons of the current world, then the logic of both worlds can be broken..."

Lin Xing checked the time on his phone and thought, "According to the agreed time, Jing Shiyu’s side should also be opening the door soon."

...

She Shen Cliff.

As a great battle was about to erupt.

Dong’er suddenly said with a calm face, "Everyone, indeed, as the other side said, the Great Bright Buddha has long been a malevolent spirit. Since entering the Da Guangming Temple, he’s been constantly trying to twist our minds. Have you not felt it?"

Watching the gazes of the Evil-cutting Sect Master and Fairy Yunxiao come angrily towards her, Dong’er said to Zhao Wanxi, "Show them."

Zhao Wanxi took out her phone and directly played the scenes witnessed since entering the Da Guangming Temple.

Seeing the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in the video, the Evil-cutting Sect Master and Fairy Yunxiao were slightly startled, but they quickly shook their heads in unison, "You slander the Buddha just based on the scenes in this little box?"

Dong’er controlled the phone camera to aim at the Great Bright Buddha before her and said through gritted teeth, "Look carefully at what your revered Bright Buddha really is!"

On the phone’s screen, the contrast of a completely different world from what everyone was seeing appeared.

The Great Bright Buddha, who in their eyes was dressed in a white robe with a compassionate face and a majestic appearance, was in the camera a corpse that had been dead for who knows how long.

A hideous wound appeared at the center of his forehead, with endless bloodlight spilling out from the wound, which became the Buddha light in everyone’s eyes.

And the sea of clouds that was originally behind the Great Bright Buddha disappeared in the camera, revealing the silhouette of the mountains.

In the vast mountainous area where one couldn’t see the end, one could see countless mummified corpses busy working back and forth, doing various farm activities.

"All the goods bought by all believers every day come from the hands of these mummies," Dong’er said coldly by the side.

"And all these mummies are believers who died generation after generation."

Dong’er glared at the Great Bright Buddha and said, "In life, they spend their lifetime contributing faith to you, and even in death, they’re skinned and deboned by you, used until their corpses wear out completely!"

She then aimed her phone at the Arhats and Bodhisattvas, "As for these Arhats and Bodhisattvas, they’re not just ordinary people from below Da Guangming Mountain but long-established masters from the jianghu, transformed by the Great Bright Buddha into this form, enslaved by him in the temple lifetime after lifetime..."
