Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 530 Human Heart
"Amitabha!"

When the Buddha’s light first appeared, it was like the sun, so bright that you could not look directly at it.

A giant Buddha, thousands of feet tall, rises up like the sky and the earth, directly cutting off the devil's flow.

Behind the big Buddha, there were golden lotuses everywhere. There were Arhats and Bodhisattvas leading thousands of Buddhist disciples to form a battle formation to block the tide of demons.

Exactly...

“Mahavairocana!?”

With a loud shout, he stood up in shock and anger, and the demons were separated into layers, revealing a giant demon with black body and red hair, looking like a fierce evil ghost, and with evil horns and a fierce demonic power.

It was the Great Lord of the Demon Abyss, the giant of the Nine Tribulations - Rakshasa!
"Amitabha!"

The Great Sun Tathagata showed his Dharma body, standing tall and upright, with a majestic appearance, and his brilliance was directed towards the tide of demons: "Wars and weapons are raging, and lives are suffering. You are the Lord of the Nine Tribulations, how can you commit such murderous sins? Get out of here!"

"Humph, the devil's way is to destroy, the devil's way is to kill, I am the master of the devil's way, I should create this killing!"

Luosha snorted coldly, full of disdain, but looking at Tathagata, he was a little afraid: "You don't go to Tongtian Secret Realm, nor do you guard Xiniu Hezhou, but come to Nanzhan to make a name for yourself. What benefit did Li Liuxian give you to make you work for him like this? Don't you want the opportunity to Tongtian?"

"Amitabha!"

The Vairocana Tathagata remained calm, and only chanted the Buddha's name, his words resounding like thunder: "Our Buddha is merciful and protects all living beings. We cannot allow demons to wreak havoc and harm the south!"

"Hahaha!"

Luosha laughed wildly upon hearing this, and pointed out the key point in one sentence: "What do you mean by 'Buddha's mercy'? It's clearly about benefits. Then Li Liuxian should have promised you the fortune of looking south, so that you can take this opportunity to spread Buddhism southwards and help Zhixian achieve enlightenment. That's also a willingness to give, hahaha!"

The words were veiled and full of sarcasm, intended to hurt his heart and destroy his achievements.

However, Mahavairocana was not moved at all: "Buddhist disciples, follow me to slay the demon!"

"Respect the law!"

Upon hearing this, all the Buddhists took immediate action. The Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Samaneras, and Bhikkhus all held their Dharma weapons and looked coldly at the demons.

"Humph, bald donkey, I just won't let you get what you want!"

As a result, Luosha waved his hand and said, "The front army becomes the rear army, the rear army becomes the front army, retreat!"

"This……"

"Yes!"

When the demons saw this, they were stunned at first, then they came to their senses, immediately changed their formation, and retreated with a rumble.

However, Buddhism was unwilling to let it go. Bodhisattvas and Arhats flew out one after another and led the army to attack the demon camp. The Vairocana Tathagata even raised the Buddhist seal in his hand and attacked the Rakshasa demon fiercely.

"Humph!"

Rakshasa snorted coldly and threw out an object, which immediately turned into a canopy for protection. It turned out to be a giant umbrella covering the sky.

The ultimate magic weapon - an umbrella that blocks out the sun.

The giant umbrella covered the sky, hiding the demons and resisting the attack of the Buddhists. At the same time, the Rakshasa made a solemn sound.

"This king knows that you, the Great Sun Tathagata, are the bright Dharmakaya of Sakyamuni. You are the most powerful, the most magical, and the most skilled in fighting among the earthly immortals and Buddhists!"

"But even so, wanting to keep me here is just a foolish dream."

"My efforts at this moment are just a show, an attempt to win people's hearts and build a foundation for Buddhism."

"Hahaha, the more you want it, the more I will not let you get what you want!"

After saying that, he raised his head again and looked towards the sky: "Li Liuxian, you are really good at scheming. You brought in the Buddhist sect to ward off disaster, but you are not afraid of inviting a wolf into the house. If your foundation is taken away in the future, I am afraid you will regret it too late, hum!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, covering the sky and the sun, hiding all the Buddha's light, and protecting the demon army to retreat.

Looking at Buddhism again, the Vairocana Tathagata did not speak a word, but the Buddha's light shone brightly, which even an umbrella could not block. In an instant, wailing cries were heard everywhere, and countless demons turned to ashes under this Buddha's light.

"Very angry!"

When the Rakshasa saw this, he remained unmoved and did not change his retreating momentum at all, just like that he retreated outwards carrying the Great Sun Buddha's light.

This Vairocana Tathagata is the leader of Buddhism and a person of the same generation as the Emperor of Heaven. He is one of the first few true immortals to attain enlightenment since ancient times. He is known as the best in Buddhism, supernatural powers, and combat power.

This title is by no means undeserved, except for the Thai emperor who is in seclusion, there is probably no one in the world of immortals who can surpass this Buddhist leader. Even the lord of the Demon Kingdom and the Demon Abyss is slightly inferior to him.

Such a strong man gave up his chance to reach the sky and appeared in Nanzhan, bringing with him a large Buddhist army and the Eighteen Arhats and other guardians. It was obvious that he had been planning this for a long time and was determined to succeed. His plan of letting the demons attack Nanzhan Mountain and massacring the Wuzhuang Temple was foiled.

Luosha was also decisive in this regard and chose to withdraw its troops directly.

Since you make me uncomfortable, I will make you uncomfortable too!
The spread of Buddhism to the South, the spread of Buddhism to the South, is not as simple as just spreading Buddhism, but also requires the practice of education and virtue in governing the world, and only when people's hearts are submitted can there be fortune and prosperity.

The Buddhist sect made such a big scene for this reason, hoping to win the hearts of the people in the south by demonstrating its merit in saving the world.

Rakshasa was no match for Mahavairocana and had no way to break the situation, so he could only make things clear and disgust the Buddhist community.

This leads to...

"The demon is retreating?"

"Amitabha, Amitabha!"

"My Buddha Tathagata is indeed powerful!"

"Saving Nanzhan is a great merit, a great merit!"

"Daxian..."

"After entering the Tongtian Secret Realm, you still consider Nanzhan so much for me?"

“I will give up my destiny in the south and ask for help from the Buddha to protect the people!”

"Senior...you are indeed a moral immortal, full of compassion!"

"Buddhism has come here to save the world, and it is indeed a meritorious deed, but how can it take away the foundation of others?"

"The Immortal entered the Tongtian Secret Realm for his own path and for the safety of the world. How can the Buddhist sect take advantage of the situation to threaten him?"

"There is also the Heavenly Palace. My human race supports the two great Taoist sects of the Immortals. Nanzhan is also a place for the human race. Now that the demons are attacking, both the Heavenly Palace and the Buddhist sects have reason to protect them. Why is it that only the Buddhist sects were invited to come? What about the Heavenly Palace?"

“I heard that the immortals left behind in the Heavenly Palace this time are the two great emperors from the East and the West. The Western Great Emperor has an old grudge against the Wandao Academy, so he is naturally unwilling to help.”

"Humph, ignoring the overall situation and only pursuing personal grudges, is this person worthy of being the Emperor of Heaven?"

"If the Immortal had not entered the secret realm, how could the demons dare to invade Nanzhan?"

"..."

Seeing the demons retreating like a tide, hundreds of millions of monks in various places in the south felt relieved, but also a little resentful, and headed towards the Buddhist temple in heaven.

"Amitabha!"

The Dharmakaya of Vairocana Tathagata is brilliant, and his eyes and ears can see and hear in all directions, but he is helpless against these rumors.

I have to say, Luosha's move was really disgusting!
The academy has governed the world for more than three thousand years, and the Danyuan Society has won the hearts of the people. As the saying goes, one who receives favors from others shall be grateful, and one who eats from others shall be grateful. In terms of stance, monk Nanzhan is more or less biased towards the Wandao Academy.

His Buddhist sect is relatively good. After all, he has the merit of saving the world. Even if the monks in Nanzhan are indignant, they will not blame him too much. Unlike the Heavenly Court, the Great Emperor Xiji has lost his reputation and was almost labeled as an accomplice of demons.

Although it is not the worst in comparison, the Heavenly Court has no necessary demand for Nanzhan, unlike his Buddhist sect which has been seeking to spread Buddhism to the south.

This move by Luosha once again raised the status of Wandao Academy. He was supposed to be the only one playing the leading role in the Buddhist sect, but he was forced to play two roles. Even though the master Wandao was not there, he was still able to steal the limelight.

Think about how hard the Buddhist sect worked to prepare for this big drama, and finally put it together. But the merits of saving the world and the reputation of exorcising demons have to be shared, making it even more difficult to spread Buddhism. They can only do better than the Wandao Academy, otherwise they will be vexed by the people. Don’t you think it’s disgusting?

It must be that the Rakshasa ran fast, otherwise even if he were to suffer the three disasters today, Mahavairocana would make this demon pay a heavy price.

……

The war in the south was thus settled.

Look beyond the nine heavens, into the fairyland.

"Li Di Yan Guang, the seat of the Nangong!"

"This Nanli Earth Flame Formation is where the Lidi Flame Light Flag is located. With the Xiantian Five Directions Flag as the core of the formation, it can confuse yin and yang, reverse the five elements, and transform them all into Nanli Earth Flame. A single wisp can damage an immortal body. Even a Nine Tribulations True Immortal would be in danger of death if trapped in the formation."

Xu Yang led Sanyun to a large formation and found that there were many Mahayana cultivators and immortal gods in the calamity realm watching outside the formation.

This is as it should be. The Innate Five Directions Flag is not only a top-notch fairy treasure, but also fits in with the mainstream of cultivation. After all, all living beings in the Three Realms cannot escape the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. For the Innate Five Directions Flag of the Five Elements, it can be said to be just the right caliber, and the difficulty of comprehending it is far lower than that of such strange fairy treasures as the Three Books of Heaven, Earth and Man.

Therefore, the Five Elements Immortal Formation where the Innate Five Flags are located has always been a "hot spot" in the Tongtian Secret Realm, and many immortals come here to comprehend the mystery of the Five Elements.

Today is no exception. There are nearly thirty Tribulation Immortals here, including some strong men who have reached the fifth or sixth tribulation.

This is just a corner of the formation. If you count all the people inside and outside the formation and in all directions, there may be seventy or eighty immortal gods in the Tribulation Realm.

This number is extremely astonishing. On the surface, this is the number of immortal gods in the calamity realm that Nanzhan has.

This is also a major feature of the Tongtian Secret Realm. There are many immortals and gods in the calamity realm hiding here, comprehending the great way and avoiding the immortal calamity. They have not left the secret realm for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. There are even some seventh-level and eighth-level calamities, who are the old generation of powerful people of the same era as the Emperor of Heaven, the Great Sun of Buddhism, and the Supreme Demon.

From this, it can be seen that there are many old monsters in the calamity realm hidden in this secret realm, which is no less than that in the outside world.

It has been more than a hundred years since Xu Yang came to Tongtian Secret Realm. He has already participated in the least dangerous Qinglian Creation Array, and now this Nanli Earth Flame Array is the second one.

Outside the formation, a group of immortals and gods were watching. Some tried to understand the mystery of the formation closely, while others looked far into the center of the formation, watching the flames from the ground and comprehending the principles of the five elements.

These are still conservative. Some of the more skilled and daring ones directly enter the formation to experience it for themselves, and even collect the Nanli Earth Flame to practice magic and refine weapons.

When Xu Yang and his four companions arrived, all the Tribulation Immortals took a look. Some stood up in surprise, some nodded, and some remained unmoved.

Xu Yang nodded slightly, turned to the people he knew, and then watched from outside the formation.

Although he is skilled and courageous and is not afraid of entering a formation, he is cautious by nature and will never rush into a formation. He needs to watch how the formation works. Not to mention comprehend the mystery, he also needs to understand the context, so that he can go deeper.

Xu Yang watched the situation, and Sanyun did not wait either, and also started to discuss it.

This went on for who knows how long...

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, the formation changed and flames shot out from the ground.

"not good!"

"The Immortal Formation is broken!"

"Go back!"

When the surrounding cultivators saw this, their expressions changed drastically, and they immediately withdrew to avoid the Nanli Earth Flame rushing out of the formation.

There are mostly incomplete things in the Tongtian Secret Realm, and this Five Elements Immortal Formation is no exception, it also has some holes and incompleteness.

But this is not a good thing, because the consequence of the fairy formation being broken is that the fire at the city gate will affect everyone in the pond, and the Nanli Earth Flame will rage out, causing disasters inside and outside the formation. If you can't avoid it in time, you will be in danger of death.

Everyone retreated in panic, but Xu Yang remained expressionless. He pointed with one finger, and divine light suddenly appeared. A huge dark red flag appeared, fixing the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, collecting the flames from the ground, and protecting the three clouds behind him.

It is an imitation of the refined item, a top-grade fairy-level flaming flag!
The cultivators retreated in shock, and when they looked back, they saw the Flame Flag standing majestically in the sea of ​​fire, not affected at all, and they were even more shocked and confused.

“This flag…”

"Is it the Flame Flag?"

"A top-grade fairy-level flaming flag?"

"What are the origins of these four people? They are only at the first or second level of calamity, but how can they have such treasures to protect themselves?"

"A top-grade immortal weapon that can only be refined by an eighth-rank immortal master. An eighth-rank immortal master in the earthly immortal world..."

"Looking at the expressions of those people, could it be that... they don't know the Master of Ten Thousand Daos?"

"They are all characters who are not strong enough and dare not face the calamity. They have to hide in secret realms. It is natural that they don't know the Master of Ten Thousand Daos."

"No one informed them. If anyone was blind..."

"boom!!!"

Before he could finish his words, the formation was startled again. A red light broke through the air from it and landed outside the formation, transforming into an old man with flaming red hair and a scorching red robe.

“Hoohoo, this noise, luckily I was prepared!”

The old man in red robe rushed out of the fairy formation, looking at the surging Nanli Earth Flame behind him, which was rolling up huge waves from time to time. He felt a little scared and was about to withdraw.

But he didn't expect that after a glance, his body would become stiff on the ground, unable to move anymore.

"This is……"

"The Flame Flag?"

"A top-grade fairy-level flaming flag?"

"Someone has managed to imitate this thing?"

The old man in red robe fixed his eyes, stopped and looked at the flaming flag standing tall in the sea of ​​fire, as well as Xu Yang and the other three who were meditating under the flag, and was confused for a moment.

"This……"

"not good!"

"It's the old devil Chiyan!"

"What does this old guy want to do?"

"Could it be..."

Outside the sea of ​​fire, the cultivators were also horrified when they saw this.

However, before he could say anything, the red-robed old man in the sea of ​​fire stepped forward and bowed to the four people under the Lidi Yanguang banner: "I am Chiyan, may I ask the names of the four friends?"

"Red Flame Demon?"

Xu Yang was unmoved, only Sanyun's eyes fixed. Fairy Yunming whispered, "Brother, this is the old demon Chiyan, born in the human race, a cultivator of the magic path, specializing in the practice of Chiyan fire magic, and has reached the seventh level of cultivation. However, because he is afraid of the eighth level of immortal calamity, he has not left the Tongtian Secret Realm for tens of thousands of years and has been hiding around the Nanli Immortal Formation. He wants to seize the Lidi Flame Flag and has also committed calamity cultivation, murdering many fellow Taoists."

Yun Ming spoke in a low voice, very cautiously.

On the other side, Yun Yan, who was the youngest and the most impulsive, stood up and said, "Old Demon Chi Yan, my brother is here, how dare you be so greedy? Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Um!?"

The old demon Chiyan's eyes condensed, then he shook his head and sighed, "My friend, you misunderstood. I came here only because I felt that the four of you and this Lidiyan Light Banner... are destined to be with me!"

After saying that, he suddenly raised his hand, and a red flame came out like a dragon, rushing straight towards the four people's faces.
