Celestial Master： I Have an Otherworld

Chapter 501 - 12: Vajra (Part 3)

Tonight’s full moon seems to be shrouded in a faint red halo, with the red light flickering, stirring up emotions.

If one’s heart is not resolute, they might start to hallucinate.

"In Master Jiuyuan’s memories, the cultivation realm has the Ten Great Celestial Demons, each one an extraordinary expert who has attained Rogue Immortal status."

"Although their personalities vary, some bloodthirsty, some cruel, without exception, they all understand restraint. Apart from their bodies being different, they are already no different from humans; the virtuous might even be more virtuous."

"Cien Temple..."

"This one is clearly not competent!"

Upon first entering Cien Temple, Fang Zheng did not sense anything unusual, only Yuan Hui’s evasiveness made him decide to stay.

It was nighttime, and still, there were no abnormalities.

This made him doubt if he guessed wrong, and he breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he didn’t want anything to happen to Cien Temple.

But...

The demon here clearly couldn’t restrain itself and eventually came out to secretly devour.

Although it chose a secluded meditation room on the edge and acted with restraint, it was still difficult to escape his perception.

"Bang!"

Not far away, a window shattered, and Shi Bumi’s figure leapt out:

"Demon!"

"Such audacity, to dare commit misdeeds in front of a disciple of the Luofu Immortal Sect, you’re courting death!"

Zheng...

A streak of bright light illuminated the entire courtyard.

Sword light!

Bright River Sword Technique!

The Luofu Immortal Sect, also known as Luofu Sword Sect, is rumored to have inherited over three hundred sword techniques, encompassing both Martial Dao and Magic.

The Supreme Sword Technique, Great Celestial Stars Sword Technique, can transform celestial stars, in offense, nothing is unbreakable, in defense, nothing can penetrate.

Shi Bumi’s Bright River Sword Technique is equally formidable, derived from the two Immortal Swords of Celestial Capital and Bright River, the technique is sharp and all-pervasive.

As the sword light rose,

The windows and doors exploded, and a sharp howl emerged from within, then a wisp of yin energy was torn apart by the sword light.

From the adjacent room, a stream of yin energy tried to escape, only to be chased and cut down by a sword qi several meters long.

Sliced on the spot.

"Harboring filth, endangering lives."

Shi Bumi stood with his sword, a cold snort escaping him:

"So this is a Ghost Temple with a demon in charge!"

His gaze shifted, he strode towards the Great Hero Hall, casually swinging his sword to cut out several sword qis.

Such a large commotion naturally startled others.

"As expected of a true disciple from a great Immortal Sect, his strength far surpasses a typical flawlessness."

"Master."

Shangguan Duo also emerged from a room, first making a comment as he looked towards Fang Zheng:

"What shall we do next?"

"Hmm..." Fang Zheng mused:

"Send a message to Yang Meng, surround Dingseng Mountain, prevent the demons from escaping to the county town, follow me to the hall."

"Yes."

Shangguan Duo acknowledged, retrieving a wooden tablet from his person, quickly inscribing several lines of text on it.

These words would be received by Yang Meng at the foot of the mountain via the magical artifact in his hand.

The Great Hero Hall.

Great,

Encompasses myriad phenomena.

Heroic,

Subdues all demons.

The Great Hero Hall signifies the Buddha’s complete enlightenment and wisdom, able to dominion over the vast world, the ’treasure’ in the hall’s name refers to the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.

Within the hall, over ten monks sat cross-legged, Yuan Hui with hands clasped in prayer at the center.

A monk spoke:

"Good men and good women who aspire to Amitabha’s Heart of Perfect Enlightenment, how should they dwell? How should they subdue their hearts?"

"..."

"Amitabha Buddha." Yuan Hui softly chanted:

"Thus did I extinguish immeasurable, innumerable, boundless sentient beings, yet truly there are no sentient beings extinguished. Why? Subodhi, if a Bodhisattva holds the notion of self, human, sentient being, and lifespan, he is not a Bodhisattva."

"Ha..." Shi Bumi entered the hall, chuckling lightly at the words:

"Slandering Buddha, proclaiming oneself a Buddha, you bald donkey are quite bold. Do you really take yourself for a Buddha?"

"What is Buddha?"

Yuan Hui raised his head:

"The world worships clay idols, seeking desires at heart, if this poor monk could fulfill them one by one, why could I not be Buddha?"

"Master has taken a wrong path." Fang Zheng arrived with Shangguan Duo:

"The sea of bitterness has no bounds, turn back to find the shore, lay down the butcher’s knife, attain Buddhahood on the spot, Master should surrender peacefully."

"Amitabha Buddha."

Yuan Hui clasped hands in a prayer gesture, saying:

"Jiming Temple has been established for a hundred years, countless have worshipped, yet few truly devote themselves to Buddhism."

"What people seek is nothing more than wealth, power, immortality; these things..."

"This poor monk desires as well!"

He slowly rose, monk robe billowing:

"They pray to clay idols; this poor monk goes and gets them himself. If I were not Buddha, who else would be?"

"Such insolence!"

Shi Bumi snorted coldly:

"Since you refuse to surrender, then meet your death!"

"Zheng..."

A dazzling sword light instantly brightened the entire scene.

The sword light flowed like water, pervasive, instantly enveloping Yuan Hui in its entirety, the limitless sword qi frenziedly shredding.

"Ding ding dang dang..."

The sound of collisions resounded, sparks flying everywhere.

"Swish!"

Shi Bumi withdrew, his expression fluctuating.

Yuan Hui still stood in the center, his body radiating pure golden light, his skin seemingly forged of gold.

Faced with the Bright River Sword, he was unharmed!

Not only that,

Even his kasaya remained intact.

"Vajra Bright King Dharma Body!"

Shi Bumi’s face twitched:

"You’ve actually cultivated to this level?"

"Well done, well done." Yuan Hui clasped his hands in a prayer gesture:

"Benefactor’s swordsmanship is superb, but alas your strength is somewhat lacking; even my Seven Desires Kasaya wasn’t cut through, truly regrettable."

"Do try one of this poor monk’s moves."

"Bang!"

Before his words fell, the ground beneath his feet, hardened mountain stone, exploded with a deafening crash, a violent fist force surging forth.

The hall was broad enough to comfortably accommodate a hundred people.

But.

With Yuan Hui’s fist strike, the grand hall seemed to shrink, unable to contain even a fist.

"Ah!"

Shi Bumi’s eyes flared, spiritual light flickering on his body, the Strength Talisman, Divine Movement Talisman, Profound Light Protection Talisman all activated simultaneously.

In an instant,

His internal aura surged, the Treasure Sword in his hand releasing unprecedented spiritual light, thrusting towards the incoming punch.
