Born with immortal seed

Chapter 765 Sword Pointing at Buddha
"Your magical artifact is quite interesting, but it's only at the fourth tier... Even if that ancient demon were still here, it wouldn't attract much of his interest."

The sudden sound caused the Green Lamp Arhat to freeze, as if struck by lightning.

Turning around, I saw a handsome young man holding the magical treasures, trembling in his hands, not daring to display their magical power.

"The Sword Lord of Time..."

The monk with the green lamp had a dry throat and could only manage to squeeze out a faint sound.

With the palm leaf in hand and not urging the Buddha to practice Buddhism, he thought he would come and go quietly, and the chances of being bumped into in such a vast place as the Ten Thousand Evil Mountains were not high.

Could it be that this person is courting death, staying in the real world all the time, letting their lifespan slip away?

Under Bei Ye's protection, he was able to deceive the eyes of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, unless Bai Zichen kept a close watch on the comings and goings of Ten Thousand Evils Mountain at all times.

And what did he mean by that? What did he mean by saying that even if the ancient demons were here?

There's been no new information coming in. Could it be that the Ancient Demon Asura has already been defeated?
"You really have the audacity to find the Thunder Bamboo Sword that I forged during my Core Formation stage..."

Bai Zichen flicked his finger and swept his hand across the sword. With a hiss, the demonic energy turned into green smoke and dissipated.

The defiled third-tier flying sword was restored to its original material.

He was in the Shaohua Cave, but ever since he learned from the Faceless Judge that someone was plotting against him, the Yin-Yang Eyes of the Candle Dragon had already covered all directions.

To avoid blind spots, the panda was also released to guard the mountaintop.

After advancing to the fourth tier, Gun Gun's combat power did not increase much, and it is estimated to be at the bottom level among fourth-tier monsters.

Bai Ze's bloodline is entirely focused on spiritual perception; in any case, Bai Zichen himself certainly can't hide it from Gun Gun.

With its keen senses, it could detect any movement, and the Green Lamp Arhat was detected shortly after entering the Ten Thousand Evils Mountain.

It is even one step ahead of its owner's Yin-Yang Eyes.

"Senior Sword Master, this humble monk happened to be visiting a friend in the Southern Region. On the way, I killed a demonic cultivator and obtained these items, but I don't know the details..."

The Arhat with the green lamp forced a fawning smile onto his sorrowful face and spoke in a low, humble voice.

"That's quite a coincidence... It's a coincidence that we arrived at the Ten Thousand Evil Mountains, a coincidence that we used the True Demon Treasure, and a coincidence that we deliberately searched for the Thunder Bamboo Sword."

Bai Zichen revealed a mocking smile, his five fingers reached out, and five sword energies shot out, locking onto the Green Lamp Arhat from above and below.

"Once I capture you, you can slowly confess to the Taixu Rebirth Mantra!"

"Spare me! Senior, spare me!"

The Green Lamp Arhat's expression changed drastically. He did not resist, but instead shrank his body further inside.

Facing the world's number one killing god, any method is futile.

It would be better to rely on the palm leaf in hand, hide in the Buddhist kingdom, and have a chance to save one's life with the help of external forces.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
The five sword energies seemed to have struck an invisible barrier, creating ripples, but ultimately failed to achieve their goal.

Bai Zichen let out a surprised exclamation. Even a casual strike from him was beyond the reach of a Nascent Soul cultivator, let alone a top-grade Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

"Sword Master, please spare this humble monk! My senior brother will arrive immediately. Please, for the sake of Buddha..."

The Green Lamp Arhat slumped to the ground, and seeing that the five sword energies had failed to achieve their goal, he became even more flustered.

From his perspective, he could clearly see the cracks on the crystal wall, radiating outwards from five dots as the center.

The borrowed power of the Buddhist kingdom will likely be defeated in the next offensive.

“Buddha Baolun is compassionate. You have been tainted by demonic possessions, and when he arrives, the first thing he will do is to eliminate you from his ranks… What do you say, Buddha Baolun?”

Bai Zichen gave a forced smile and spoke to the side of the Green Lamp Arhat.

“Amitabha… What you say is true, benefactor. This child is guilty of grave sins and deserves severe punishment.”

A flash of pure, crystalline light appeared, and a Buddhist monk dressed in a bright red robe appeared, his aura ethereal and elusive.

Clearly, the true body is not here. It is only because the Arhat of the Green Lamp borrowed the power of the Buddhist Kingdom to create a small place that resembles the Buddhist Kingdom that the Buddha of the Precious Wheel was able to descend from afar.

"Brother, save me!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the Arhat with the green lamp visibly relaxed and crawled two steps using both hands and feet.

He was nominally the junior disciple of Buddha Baolun, but in reality, he was raised by his senior brother from childhood, and they had a deep bond.

In addition, before his master transformed into a rainbow body, he made a will, leaving all the relics he transformed into to the Buddha Baolun, and only giving the Arhat Qingdeng a golden bowl.

In terms of kinship, the Green Lamp Arhat is actually a lay descendant of the master.

Because of this, Buddha Baolun always felt guilty towards the Arhat with the Green Lamp and took extra care of him.

As long as one is in the Buddha's Pure Land, the Buddha of the Wheel of Jewels can mobilize the Buddha's power of countless believers and countless practitioners, bringing his strength close to that of the Buddha's perfect enlightenment.

No matter how strong the Sword Lord of Time is, it would be unwise for him to fight the Buddha of Treasure Wheel under these circumstances.

Therefore, the Arhat with the green lamp felt that his life was safe.

"Sword Lord, could you please grant me the honor of letting him reveal the truth, and allow me to take him back to the Buddhist Kingdom and imprison him in the pagoda... The Ten Deadly Poisons in the Green Lamp are ineffective with medicine, and he has only a few years left to live. If I let him die in the Buddhist Kingdom, I can still protect him for a while and send him into reincarnation."

The Buddha of the Wheel spoke earnestly and humbled himself.

"Let the Buddha know that this person's intention to harm me was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but a long-planned scheme. He has been recruiting others everywhere... and even for his own selfish reasons, he has colluded with demons, wanting to lend a hand to the ancient demon Asura. How can I let him off lightly? If his accomplices are not brought to justice, the cultivation world will never have peace."

Bai Zichen paused for a moment, then said thoughtfully.

In other matters, if the Buddha Ratnavali spoke, he would simply ignore it as if nothing had happened.

After all, back then, the Buddha of the Wheel of Fortune not only did not stop him from taking the sword, but also gave him a Buddhist treasure to resist the tribulations of inner demons, which can be considered as a favor of his guidance.

But this matter is of great importance. Letting a monastic who dared to plot against him and carry out the plan escape unscathed would not only cause unease in the cultivation world, but it would also make him uneasy.

Furthermore, the person in charge behind the Green Lamp Arhat has not yet been fully investigated, and the Precious Wheel Buddha has jumped out, giving people the feeling that he is trying to cover up the truth.

The more he acted as if he wanted to protect his junior brother, the more suspicious he seemed.

“What you say is very true… but the disciples of the Kasyapa sect must still be judged by their own family.”

The Buddha of the Jewel Wheel sat cross-legged, and immeasurable pure light emanated from his body, turning the valley into daylight.

His crimson robe with gold trim fluttered in the wind, with golden swastikas appearing on it and swirling around him.

“Having known your swordsmanship is unparalleled, surpassing even your predecessors… I, the old monk, have overestimated myself and am willing to accept three sword strikes to determine the fate of my humble abode.”

"If the Buddha insists on protecting this person, then I have no choice but to offend him!"

Bai Zichen dared not be careless. Although this Buddha Baolun was at the same level as him, he had too much of an advantage fighting on home ground.

In some ways, he was empowered by the Buddha Kingdom and was even stronger than the Daoist Master who resided in the Tushita Heaven, thus truly reaching the pinnacle of the human realm.

He was able to defeat the ancient demon by relying on the power of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword and by taking advantage of the passage of time.

This does not represent true combat strength; it has already surpassed that of the Asura Ancient Demon.

At this moment, the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword needs to be reforged, so this killing move cannot be used.

He not only wanted to win, but he wanted to win cleanly and decisively.

Otherwise, if the Buddha of the Wheel of Dharma were truly the mastermind behind it all, and had seen his weakness, who knows if a friendly sparring match would have turned into a life-or-death struggle.

He lowered his head and took a deep breath, borrowing the aura of a sacred beast from the Shaohua Cave Heaven. A phantom of a blue dragon coiled and rushed into his eyes.

I looked up and suddenly opened my eyes. The world instantly turned dark, then brightened again.

It is these two pairs of eyes, each reflecting a different world.

With the blessing of the sacred beast's essence blood, the Buddha of the Treasure Wheel appeared in the full vision of the Candle Dragon's Yin-Yang Eyes as a giant Buddha with a golden body and a radiant, crystal-like light shining through it.

He radiated boundless light, stood on a nine-tiered lotus platform, formed the abhaya mudra with his hands, and had dense auspicious clouds above his head.

It is perfectly integrated with the Buddha-land surrounding him, flawless and without any flaws.

He truly deserves to be called the invincible abbot of the Buddhist kingdom in the human realm, a living Buddha.

Bai Zichen glared fiercely, and the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes seemed to pierce through the crystal wall, ignoring the Buddha's light, and reaching the very source.

The boundless pure light paused briefly during its operation, exhibiting a slight flaw that was imperceptible to the naked eye for a fleeting moment.

But all the flying swords in his sleeve flew out, converging into a seven-colored chaotic sword light, which suddenly slashed down.

Earth, fire, wind, and water—the very essence of creation—the Dao-born sword unleashed by twelve fifth-tier flying swords instantly shattered the crystal wall of the Buddhist kingdom.

The boundless pure light was defeated step by step under the sword light, dissolved into chaotic primordial energy, and returned to heaven and earth.

The perfect Dao-born sword is so terrifying, unstoppable.

Om! Mani! Padme! Hum!
The Buddha of the Precious Wheel rapidly changed his hand gestures and uttered the six-syllable mantra. The six golden characters shot out and collided with the sword light.

Six magnificent and solemn Buddhist sounds overlapped, drowning out all other sounds in the world, descending from the sky to suppress the person before them.

Under normal circumstances, a beginner can only activate one Sanskrit word at most, while only those who are extremely proficient can use two words at the same time.

With the blessing of the Buddha's realm, the Treasure Wheel directly achieved the ability to recite the six-syllable mantra in unison, a feat only the Buddha himself could accomplish.

Even the strongest opponent will be trapped within it for a while, unable to escape.

"What a brilliant six-word mantra!"

Bai Zichen hadn't fought Shi Xiu much, but the Six-Syllable Mantra was so famous that even he had heard of it many times.

The seven-colored chaotic sword light rose to the challenge, knocking the syllable 'Om' away and instantly shattering most of the world, causing the sword light to dim.

But as long as the seed of sword intent remains, it instantly returns to its original state and launches a counterattack, disintegrating at the same time as the word 'ma'.

This cycle repeats endlessly, constantly battling the six-syllable mantra, until the last golden Sanskrit character falls, and the Buddhist realm trembles violently, as if a human being were wailing and convulsing.

With the Supreme Clarity Micro Sword Box as his backing, he managed to drag down the six golden Sanskrit characters.

“You have won, benefactor. The old monk concedes defeat.”

The lotus throne beneath the feet of the Buddha of the Precious Wheel has withered, and the auspicious clouds above his head are askew, making him look extremely disheveled.

He made a Wisdom Fist Mudra, and everything was renewed, with solemnity returning to the Buddha.

Although the impact on their strength is only slight and they can still fight, it's shameful to play like this when they have the home advantage.

Moreover, this small space is not the true Ruyi Buddhist Kingdom; once the Buddha's power is exhausted, it will naturally dissipate.

At that time, it was the Buddha Ratnavali who demanded a dignified exit from power.

After losing by a small margin, he decisively resigned and conceded defeat, showing no intention of continuing the fight.

In reality, Bai Zichen's true essence, which had been activating the Dao Sheng Sword, was almost completely depleted.

This sword move is intended to determine a decisive victory, a fight to the death.

Although there are spiritual fruits in the cave that can be consumed, it is still uncertain whether the battle will end if it continues.

The crystal light shimmered, and only the languid Arhat with the blue lamp remained in the valley. The palm leaf in his hand had been taken by the Buddha of the Wheel of Jewels when he left.

"So it seems that Buddha Baolun is not the mastermind behind this?"

Bai Zichen reached out and grabbed, the sword light blocking the Green Lamp Arhat, sealing his Qi Sea and consciousness, turning him into a cripple.

If the Buddha of the Wheel of Jewels was involved in this matter, he shouldn't have retreated so easily; at the very least, he should have silenced the Arhat of the Green Lamp before leaving.

How could he keep his promise and show signs of defeat? He then handed over the Green Lamp Arhat as promised.

"It's better not to. After all, Buddha Baolun has been kind to me. If we were to fight each other, I would inevitably feel regretful... In terms of strength, the rumors outside are true. He really has the level of the peak of this world."

Bai Zichen was very clear about the power of his Dao Sheng Yi Jian. The combined power of twelve fifth-order flying swords was enough to allow him to fight beyond his level.

However, he was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and could not support the subsequent variations of this sword technique.

On the other hand, the immersion in the "one sword gives rise to ten thousand methods" technique is not deep enough, and there is still much room for improvement.

Even so, it is comparable to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but it cannot achieve the legendary combat power of the Void Refinement stage.

Only in this way could they barely break through the six-syllable mantra of the Buddha of the Wheel of Dharma.

In the true Wish-Fulfilling Buddha Land, the opponent's strength would definitely be at another level if the duration and state of the attack were perfect.

Whether the divine power of banishing the river of time to the Buddha Kingdom will have any effect on the presiding over the Buddha Kingdom remains to be seen, given that the precious wheel has merged with the Buddha Kingdom and the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword has been combined with it.

Perhaps by taking advantage of the special nature of the Buddhist kingdom, they could avoid being pulled into the river of time.

It's a good thing to have one less troublesome opponent like this.

Otherwise, if we add another enemy like this, who knows how much more of our lifespan we would have to spend before things finally settle down.

"Will you confess voluntarily, or do you want me to perform a soul search?"

Bai Zichen returned to Shaohua Cave with the Green Lantern Arhat and left the person on a small island in the middle of the lake.

"Don't even think about killing yourself. I have the Void Soul-Capturing Chain. Even if your soul is scattered for several days, I can still capture it and interrogate you."

"Hehe... Senior brother, save me! Don't go! Senior brother, please save me!"

The monk with the green lamp grinned, his expression blank, as if he had lost his soul.

After the Buddha of the Wheel of Jewels conceded defeat and left, he ended up in this state.

At first, I thought he was deliberately faking his madness, but now it seems he may have really lost his mind after experiencing great joy and sorrow.

"I don't care about the truth, I just want the results of the soul search!"

Bai Zichen walked up to the Green Lamp Arhat, looked down at him, pressed down on the sea of ​​consciousness, and directly extracted a segment of his primordial spirit.

The Green Lamp Arhat's eyes rolled back, he foamed at the mouth, and he fainted.

The extracted primordial spirit was sent into reincarnation, where it reappeared in Bai Zichen's mind, bringing back some of his memories.

The results of this soul-searching using the Taixu Rebirth Mantra were not good; they were all moments of reflection and summarization during my cultivation, summarizing the hardships and obstacles I had encountered along the way.

If a Buddhist practitioner were to acquire this memory, they would likely find it fascinating.

The key points of Buddhist practice, in their meticulous detail, could be compiled into a Buddhist scripture.

As for the second and third fragments of the primordial spirit, they also contained mostly discarded and useless memories.

The criteria for searching the soul in the Taixu Rebirth Mantra are inherently prone to deviation. In my opinion, the important thing is that the caster's thoughts are very likely not on the same wavelength as the caster's.

However, as one's cultivation level increases, it becomes impossible to have one's soul searched and seen cleanly like a low-level cultivator.
