Stealing the Secret from the Cover of Heaven

Chapter 394: The Emperor's Might in Front of Mount Xumi

Mount Xumi is the highest sacred place in Buddhism.

From the ancient era of immortals, to the chaotic ancient times, and then to the present era, it has never disappeared.

It carries too many legends and leaves behind endless mysteries. It is not because of the enlightenment of Amitabha Buddha that Mount Sumeru has gained its supreme reputation.

Even in the ancient times, it was already the supreme immortal land of Buddhism.

Even the ancient emperor could not see through Buddhism, leaving behind the legend that "a great religion will rise in the Western Desert and show its potential on the road to becoming an immortal."

How one shows his talent on the road to becoming an immortal is unknown to outsiders.

But Li Zhi knew that the Buddhist sect's plan to ascend to heaven through the combined power of Mount Sumeru and the belief in Amitabha Buddha would ultimately end in failure.

It is a bit beyond one's ability for a mere emperor of humanity to want to lead people to ascend to heaven.

However, these are all later stories. Now standing in front of this ancient fairy mountain, Li Zhi felt its grandeur and majesty.

The Big Dipper world has revived, and Mount Xumi is completely different from what it was a hundred years ago.

Mount Sumeru is so huge that it towers into the sky. It is majestic and vast, as if it can pierce the sky and fill the sea. It spans ancient and modern times and is immortal.

Standing in front of it, one can't help but feel one's own insignificance, and Li Zhi even feels like he is facing the great emperor of Buddhism.

Mount Xumi is not only famous in the Big Dipper star field, but also has endless legends in other ancient star fields in the universe. It seems to represent the foundation of Buddhism and has extraordinary significance.

Now, Ye Fan is leading the troops of Heaven to march at the foot of Mount Xumi in a mighty and imposing manner. Among the army, there are more than twenty masters at the Saint King level alone. Among them are followers Ye Fan accepted on the Ancient Trial Road, as well as old men of Heaven such as Qi Luo, Dongfang Ye, Li Tian, ​​and Yan Yixi.

There are also Li Zhi, the Princess of the Divine Silkworm, the Taoist of the Divine Silkworm, the Peacock King, the Emperor of Great Xia, Yao Yuekong and a large number of other powerful people who came to help, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Such a terrifying team might have a real chance to overthrow Mount Sumeru if it weren't for the revival backup plan of Amitabha Buddha left on Mount Sumeru.

Not to mention that they also carried several imperial weapons.

Whether it is the ancient tribes, the saints from outside the domain, the various religions of the human race, or even the major forces of the demon race, almost all of them are paying attention to this battle.

Attacking Mount Xumi is not an easy task.

In ancient times, Buddhism in the Western Desert already seemed unfathomable.

Now that the great Emperor Amitabha has moved Mount Sumeru to the Western Desert, Buddhism has become filled with an unfathomable mystery.

There is also a huge amount of power of faith flowing on Mount Sumeru. If you feel it deeply, it may even make you want to devote yourself to Buddhism.

At the foot of Mount Xumi, there is water surrounding it. It doesn’t seem like much from a distance, but when you get close, you will be surprised to find that the water is vast and looks like a sea.

That pool of water is the Seven Treasures Pond of Mount Xumi. According to Buddhist scriptures, there is a Seven Treasures Pond in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. This pool is natural, not man-made, and is also called the Eight Merits Pond. The water is crystal clear and is called the Eight Tastes Water, or the Eight Concentrations Water. It has eight special qualities, namely: clear, cool, sweet, soft, moist, peaceful, thirst-quenching, and nourishing.

The water of eight virtues is extremely precious and is coveted by all Buddhist pilgrims. Drinking it has many wonderful benefits. It can keep people away from filth, purify the body, cleanse the mind, increase and nourish the six senses, and keep people away from illness and pain.

According to Buddhist scriptures, if one wants to reach the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss on Mount Sumeru, one must first cross the sea and cross the Eight Seas of Merit.

Li Zhi stood by the sea of ​​eight merits and felt the rich Buddha light, endless power of faith, and wisps of merit contained therein.

Faced with the sea of ​​merit blocking his way, Longma took the lead and planned to swallow all the eight merit waters in the eight merit seas into his stomach.

Unfortunately, the Eight Meritorious Seas emitted infinite Buddha light and deafening Buddha sound, which blocked his magic. In the end, he failed to absorb even a drop of water.

It seems to indicate the difficulty of this journey.

However, Ye Fan's Heavenly Court followers are not the kind of people who would retreat when faced with difficulties, and they will not give up until they achieve their goal.

Mount Sumeru was difficult to attack, which was something that was anticipated before setting out, but what everyone was afraid of was that a strong man at the Saint King level could not even do anything about the Sea of ​​Merit at the foot of the mountain, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

The main peak stands in the center of the clear and transparent sea of ​​merit. It is majestic and magnificent to the point of being beyond description. In the distance, you can see some magnificent temples located on the mountain.

The entire mountain is glowing, with peaceful and pure mental power flowing, layer after layer of silver light steaming, and light golden Buddha light floating. This is the purest power of faith, which is bestowed on the mountain. It is so thick that it cannot be dissolved, making the entire sacred mountain look like an old immortal land.

This power is so vast that it makes people's hearts and minds tremble, and it is impossible to measure it. The entire mountain has long been deified, and every blade of grass and every tree has Buddha nature, and is thoroughly nourished by the light.

This is the faith accumulated by Buddhists throughout the universe through chanting "Amitabha" countless times over hundreds of thousands of years.

A huge amount of mental power gathered here, and after a long period of accumulation, the incredible scene we see today has come into being.

Feeling the mental power flowing on Mount Sumeru, Li Zhi compared it with the power of merit he had collected. It was like the difference between a cup of water and a sea.

Even with such a huge amount of mental power, in the end it was just the re-creation of the Dharma body of Amitabha Buddha.

In this regard, Li Zhi had the idea of ​​converting the power of faith of all sentient beings on Mount Sumeru into merit.

Perhaps it would be possible to forge a magical weapon of merit with defensive power comparable to that of the ultimate weapon.

Unfortunately, when Li Zhi tried it, he found that the power of Amitabha Buddha's thoughts was too strong and he could not plunder or convert it at all.

However, it was not without gain. The power of faith flowing on Mount Sumeru did not all have the thoughts of Amitabha Buddha. Li Zhi was still able to shake some of the power of thought.

However, the power of faith is not the power of merit and cannot be directly converted.

Li Zhi just tried it secretly and then stopped.

Then, they watched Ye Fan and the Buddhist masters on Mount Xumi arguing with each other, and then the battle that everyone loved to watch began.

The heavenly soldiers and generals of heaven fought against the eight Buddhist tribes on Mount Sumeru. It was a match made in heaven.

This battle did not last long before it moved on to the final showdown.

Both sides of the battle used extreme weapons to fight.

Although the battle seemed very fierce, Li Zhi did not take action many times.

However, after the Great Peacock King and the Great Ancient Buddha sacrificed the relics of Amitabha Buddha and merged them with the power of faith on Mount Sumeru, the defense of Mount Sumeru was greatly increased and the battle could not continue.

Even if everyone possessed several imperial weapons, they would not be able to attack the Great Leiyin Temple on the top of the mountain.

Only then did they realize that it would be difficult to capture Mount Sumeru in a short period of time.

Soon after, everyone stopped the attack. After all, mobilizing the imperial soldiers was very exhausting, and even the Great Sage could not sustain it for long.

Finally, they decided to besiege Mount Xumi, blockade it and isolate it from the outside world.

Of course, Ye Fan and others could not attack up, and the Great Peacock King and Moka Ancient Buddha on the mountain could not attack out either. After all, there were several imperial soldiers outside the mountain watching covetously, and a stalemate formed for a while.

Afterwards, the divine knight who followed Ye Fan from Earth to Beidou volunteered to undergo the Great Saint Tribulation directly on Mount Sumeru. Unfortunately, the horrible Great Saint Tribulation did not even destroy any grass or tree on Mount Sumeru, and the thunder was extinguished by the power of faith.

Afterwards, the Divine Knight used secret methods to reverse the power of faith on Mount Sumeru, intending to destroy the foundation of Mount Sumeru.

Unfortunately, in the end it can only reverse some impure beliefs, but cannot shake the faith in Amitabha the Great Emperor in the slightest.

"How to do?"

At this point, everyone was at a loss. They could not attack, and they could not destroy the power of faith that was the foundation of Mount Xumi, which made everyone feel irritated.

"It seems there is only one way left."

Then Ye Fan spoke, his eyes determined as he looked at the entire Western Desert, as if he was planning to use some shocking means.

"Why not let me give it a try." At this moment, Li Zhi stood out from the crowd and said lightly.

"Fellow Taoist Changshou, what can you do? At this moment, the power of faith on Mount Sumeru seems to contain the thoughts of Amitabha Buddha." The Taoist Shencan, who had been working with Li Zhi, asked curiously.

"I was just trying to gauge how powerful the emperor is. Is he as invincible as the legend says?" A terrifying fighting spirit burst out from Li Zhi, as if a sword that had been hidden for a long time was about to reveal its peerless edge.

Many people looked at Li Zhi with suspicion. After all, Li Zhi's performance in the previous battles was not outstanding. Whether it was the battle with the Eight Divisions of Buddhism or the subsequent siege of the Great Peacock King, he was almost like a slacker who did not put in any effort.

Now, not only can the powerful divine knight not do anything to Mount Sumeru with the power of heavenly calamity, but even the secret method of reversing the power of faith cannot break Mount Sumeru's defense. What eye-opening method does Li Zhi have?

If it is just nonsense, you will end up becoming a laughing stock.

Without waiting for others to ask, Li Zhi walked towards Mount Xumi.

With every step he took, his height increased by a hundred feet.

When he reached the Eight Meritorious Seas at the foot of Mount Sumeru, his height had suddenly increased to a height of 13,000 feet.

Although not as tall as Mount Sumeru, people could also feel a huge sense of oppression from him. The terrifying power of qi and blood was like a real dragon descending to the world.

The pressure was so great that all the cultivators below the Great Saint realm could hardly breathe.

Then, boundless golden light burst out from Li Zhi's body, and terrifying divine power began to gather on him.

The secret of the word "皆" was triggered, and in an instant he entered the forbidden realm of the gods again.

At the same time, he used the secret technique of "Overturn of Ten Thousand Daos" to its extreme, and the laws of heaven and earth around him showed signs of disorder at this moment.

Then Li Zhi punched the Buddha image on Mount Sumeru hard.

"when!"

The terrifying punch that could almost kill a peak Great Sage did not shake Mount Sumeru at all, but instead knocked Li Zhi flying.

“Alas, even the imperial soldiers are unable to break through the defenses on Mount Xumi. I’m afraid it won’t be effective if Taoist Changshou relies solely on his fists.” Dongfang Ye in the crowd sighed.

However, many people who knew Li Zhi showed doubts. They believed that Li Zhi would not do useless work.

Although the force of this punch shocked the world, whether it was the people from the Heavenly Court present, the Buddhists on Mount Xumi, or the ancient races and saints from outside the domain who were secretly paying attention to this battle, they all knew that they could not shake the golden body of the Dharmakāya that exuded the aura of the Great Emperor.

Compared with the defense of Mount Sumeru, Li Zhi at this moment is like an ant trying to shake a tree.

"Sure enough, the gap between the Great Sage and the Great Emperor is unfathomable." After feeling the solidity of the Dharma image, Li Zhi felt neither happy nor sad, as if he had already expected this result.

This is only the power of the relics and the power of faith left by Amitabha Buddha. If the emperor's real body was here, the recoil force would probably cause him to explode on the spot.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

After the unsuccessful punch, Li Zhi's martial arts true body disappeared, and was replaced by a Taoist chant that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

At the same time, Li Zhi flew into the sky, and a green lotus emitting chaotic energy grew under his feet. The clothes on his body turned into a purple and gold Taoist robe, and a silver dragon whisk appeared in his hand.

This change left everyone confused.

But the next second, not only did the Buddhists on Mount Xumi look strange, but even the people watching the battle felt speechless.

Because Li Zhi began to chant scriptures while sitting in the void, the grand chanting sound seemed to convert all the Buddhists on Mount Sumeru.

Just when everyone thought Li Zhi was performing a farce,
A golden wheel of merit was faintly rising behind his head, and at the same time, a faint demonic aura was born from many Buddhists on Mount Sumeru.

"What kind of method is this that can reverse the pure Buddha's light into devil's light. Could it be that the legend that Buddha and devil are one is true?" Seeing this, many people began to discuss it privately.

"The world is in chaos, there is no distinction between good and evil, and those who are extremely compassionate and merciful are also extremely treacherous and evil. What you have done is against the laws of nature, you are guilty!" Just when everyone thought that Li Zhi was going to take action against those Buddhists, he suddenly rebuked them sternly.

It was as if all the Buddhists on Mount Sumeru were sinners who had committed heinous crimes, and he came on behalf of the Human Emperor to call them to account.

This scene seemed familiar, and many Buddhists on Mount Xumi felt a sense of guilt in their hearts, as if they had really made a big mistake.

"He who spreads evil words to confuse the people shall be beheaded!"

In front of the Great Leiyin Temple, the great ancient Buddha Moka suddenly felt as if he was facing the Human Emperor.

It’s just like when the Emperor Taiyin descended on Mount Sumeru, and the Demon-Subduing Pestle didn’t dare to resist.

"Forget it, forget it. If you are so stubborn, God will hate you."

After hearing the words of the ancient Buddha Moka, Li Zhi suddenly exuded a sense of compassion. After leaving two words, his figure disappeared from the air.

"I realized the Buddhist principles on Mount Xumi, and buried all living beings on the road to becoming an immortal!"

At the same time, in the depths of the void that no one could see, a mysterious altar the size of a palm turned into ashes as Li Zhi left.

Just when everyone thought that Li Zhi was just playing tricks, an ordinary bolt of thunder suddenly appeared on Mount Xumi.

The power of the heavenly thunder seemed similar to that which appeared in ordinary cloudy and rainy weather, and was far less powerful than the Great Sage Heavenly Tribulation summoned by the Divine Knight when he was undergoing the tribulation on Mount Xumi.

However, when it ignored the power of faith on Mount Sumeru and hit Mount Sumeru, it surprised everyone.

The endless power of faith that could annihilate the Great Sage's divine thunder of heavenly tribulation seemed to be useless in front of that heavenly thunder.

"boom!"

Then, a temple on Mount Xumi was blown to pieces on the spot.

Even around the bombed temple, a vacuum area of ​​faith power was formed, but in an instant the vacuum area was filled by the flowing power of faith.

"Huh!" After seeing this scene, countless people all looked confused.

But Li Zhi returned to Ye Fan, shook his head and said: "My method doesn't seem to work. Ye Fan, it depends on your method next."

Afterwards, Li Zhi retreated behind the crowd, which made everyone confused.

Without giving it much thought, Ye Fan began to implement the plan he had already made in his mind, "Yin and Yang Coordination".

After banning Mount Xumi, the faith of Heaven was allowed to take root in the Western Desert, thus cutting off the source of the trouble and destroying the foundation of faith in Mount Xumi.

But Li Zhi knew that this move was almost useless.

The real way to end this battle and rescue Huahua is for Ye Fan to release the corpse of the God Emperor in the nine-layer coffin of the gods, so that Mount Xumi will bow its head.

Then, things developed just as he expected.
