Chapter 143 The Living Buddha in the World
"Buzz!!"

Countless golden specks of light, like fireflies, surrounded Zhang Xiaofan's body, and then slowly began to dance.

"what!!"

Just then, the demonic cultists nearby suddenly let out a series of shrill screams.

Qinglong's expression changed drastically as he looked at Bai Duzi, the Blood-Sucking Demon, and the other old demons, whose faces were contorted in agony. His pupils contracted involuntarily.

When the golden light spots touched the vampire demon and his companions, they acted like some kind of deadly poison, directly corroding their flesh and blood.

Azure Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly. He reached out and grabbed a point of light. The next moment, a faint stinging sensation came from his palm.

The faint stinging sensation caused Qinglong to look puzzled for a moment.

But at that moment, Wan Renwang, enduring excruciating pain, threw Zhang Xiaofan, who was surrounded by golden light, away.

As Zhang Xiaofan flew out, countless golden light spots followed him and flew away as well. Just as Zhang Xiaofan was about to land, countless golden lights gathered beneath him and lifted him up.

"Buzz!!"

The golden light still surrounded them. Although most of it had flown over, there were simply too many golden points of light. They were densely packed together and gathered in one place, making them even more dazzling than the bright moon in the sky.

Seeing this, Wan Renwang gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and led the members of the Demonic Sect to retreat.

On the side of righteousness, Lu Xueqi was about to step forward when she saw this, but was stopped by Master Shuiyue. Master Shuiyue's eyebrows were furrowed as she stared intently at the golden light spots flying all over the sky.

"What exactly are these golden specks? And what is the Golden Light of Merit?"

Not only was Master Shuiyue very curious, but other righteous cultivators were the same, and many people looked towards the monks of Tianyin Temple.

Buddhist practice has always emphasized the perfection of merit, and perhaps we can understand what this golden light of merit truly is.

But when everyone looked over, they saw that most of the disciples of Tianyin Temple had blank expressions, and even Venerable Dali had a strange look on his face.

However, Faxiang, after pondering for a while, finally spoke softly.

"This humble monk did see a record of this golden light of merit in the notes left by the patriarch."

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi, Cangsong Daoren, and the others couldn't help but turn to look at Faxiang. The latter pondered for a moment, organized his thoughts, and then continued speaking.

"According to the records of the patriarch, the golden light of merit can only be generated by those who have made great contributions to heaven and earth and all living beings. Because of the gratitude of countless living beings, this golden light of merit can be generated, forging a golden body that is immune to all evil and indestructible."

Upon hearing this, Tian Buyi was taken aback. Although there was a hint of joy on his face, there was also a look of confusion in his eyes.

Since joining the Qingyun Sect, Zhang Xiaofan had never left the mountain. This time, however, his exploration of the Ten Thousand Bat Cave caused such a huge commotion.

Immediately, Tian Buyi could not suppress his curiosity and asked Faxiang aloud.

"Nephew Faxiang, what constitutes great merit?"

"Uncle Tian, ​​this humble monk also does not know, nor does the Patriarch know what immeasurable merit is."

Fa Xiang spoke softly, but everyone was immediately shocked upon hearing this.

Even the founder of Tianyin Temple had never seen or possessed this golden light of merit, which shows how rare it is.

At that moment, Lu Xueqi was momentarily stunned, and the shocking scene from the Abyss of the Dead involuntarily flashed through her mind. All spirits paid homage!

"Could it be that time?"

Lu Xueqi murmured softly. Biyao, who was being helped back by Tian Ling'er, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this and turned to look at Lu Xueqi to ask.

"Xueqi, do you know something?"

Biyao's voice immediately drew the attention of Master Shuiyue and the others. Facing everyone's gaze, Lu Xueqi did not hide anything and explained softly.

“Master, I don’t know whether it is true or not, but in my opinion, what Xiao Fan did was indeed a great deed.”

"Please speak, Senior Sister Lu."

Faxiang urged him on, seemingly a little anxious, which made Tian Buyi glance at Faxiang again, his eyes looking somewhat strange.

Logically speaking, Zhang Xiaofan had just used the Great Brahma Prajna, which was a secret technique of Tianyin Temple. The disciples of Tianyin Temple should have looked at Zhang Xiaofan with some strange eyes, just like the disciples of Tianyin Temple next to the Dharma Image.

Faxiang seemed particularly worried about Zhang Xiaofan's safety. In fact, he had always been exceptionally supportive of Zhang Xiaofan. When Zhang Xiaofan was slandered by the Demonic Sect, Faxiang helped Zhang Xiaofan in every way.

This reaction was exceptionally abnormal and strange.

If Faxiang were a disciple of another sect, Tian Buyi wouldn't find it strange. After all, his seventh brother wasn't ugly, and he had some heroic qualities, so it was normal for him to be respected by his peers.

But Faxiang was not only a disciple of Tianyin Temple, but also a highly accomplished student of Master Puhong and the next abbot of Tianyin Temple. Yet his reaction was quite strange.

After all, from Faxiang's perspective, not demanding an immediate explanation from Qingyun Sect was already quite polite, considering this was a closely guarded secret of Tianyin Temple that had been leaked.

From another perspective, if the Taiji Xuanqing Dao of the Qingyun Sect were learned by the monks of the Tianyin Temple, Tian Buyi would immediately take his sword and go to the other party to demand an explanation.

Something's fishy! There's definitely something fishy about this!
Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi glanced at the Dharma image and then nodded gently in response.

"Back then, Xiao Fan fell into the Abyss of the Dead in order to save me. But there were countless evil spirits in the Abyss of the Dead, many of whom were harmed by the black-hearted old man and were full of resentment."

Master Shuiyue's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. Fiendish spirits were not easy to deal with, let alone countless ones. This showed how dangerous Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi's situation had been.

"But Xiao Fan did not kill those evil spirits. Instead, he pitied their miserable situation, suffering in life and torment in death. So he used his treasure containing the Blood-Devouring Bead to intimidate all the evil spirits. Then, he used his Burning Soul Sword to absorb the Yin energy from the bodies of the endless evil spirits."

As soon as Lu Xueqi finished speaking, Tian Buyi's expression changed drastically, and deep worry appeared in his eyes.

Faxiang, Fashan, and a group of disciples from Tianyin Temple, along with Venerable Dali and other Buddhist cultivators, all solemnly chanted in unison.

"Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha is merciful! Brother Zhang is truly compassionate!"

Faxiang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, his eyes flashing with respect. The other disciples of Tianyin Temple around him felt the same way.

Even if Zhang Xiaofan truly stole the secrets of Tianyin Temple, it cannot be denied that he was a compassionate and benevolent person.

Upon hearing this, Venerable Dali couldn't help but sigh softly.

"He truly is a living Buddha reborn!"
