Chapter 622 The Three-Faced Buddha's Fate, the Three-Life Buddhahood

A sound fell.

The gates of the Wu family mansion were wide open.

The bluestone floor began to tremble continuously.

Countless mangled remains, like a torrent, surged forth from the ground and the Wu family mansion.

With a crisp "crack," the courtyard wall, covered with a large amount of blood, flesh, and facial features, collapsed with a loud crash.

But the large face did not fall; instead, it was surrounded by the swarming mass of bloody remains.

Immediately afterwards, a giant Buddha composed entirely of corpses, flesh, and facial features rose from the ground, and the Buddha's palm that had suppressed the Paper Goddess was placed on the Buddha's body.

The Buddha sat cross-legged above the Wu family mansion, looking down at Li Wushou and the Paper Goddess.

The many corpses that made up the Buddha's body suddenly began to chant the Blood Buddha Sutra.

In an instant, chanting arose everywhere, and crimson Buddhist light shone in all directions, even turning the clouds on the horizon scarlet.

The paper goddess, freed from the Buddha's palm, floated to Li Wushou's side.

There was no time for formalities; he directly urged Li Wushou:

"Second Master, it seems that this Blood Buddha has broken through to the Venerable level. You should leave quickly."

The paper figure's already somewhat crooked nose and eyes looked even more comical due to its anxiety.

Li Wushou smiled slightly and placed his hand on the paper figure's shoulder.

The Paper Goddess's plan to annihilate this wisp of Yin spirit and return to the Sealed Spirit Path to fetch reinforcements was abruptly interrupted.

"Don't panic, I'm here!"

With that, she flicked her sleeve, and the paper goddess's wisp of spirit detached from the paper body, transforming into a palm-sized, six-armed paper figure that landed on Li Wushou's sleeve, resembling an embroidery.

The paper goddess's eyes were filled with anxiety, darting around, but she could no longer make a sound.

After settling the paper goddess, Li Wushou slowly looked up at the flesh-and-blood Buddha statue sitting cross-legged in the Wu family mansion.

The Buddha's body was either drained of its essence and blood, or covered with holes protruding from its facial features, or was incomplete.

At a cursory glance, the number of corpses is far more than 100,000.
The Wu family has indeed run into trouble, but it's not just the Wu family that's in trouble.

At the foot of Yin Yang Mountain, all three Nascent Soul families were wiped out, and even the many people who lived around the three Nascent Soul families were all killed.

Of course, it wasn't just near Yin-Yang Mountain. Li Wushou came riding the waves from the East Sea, and wherever he went, not a single person survived.

It can either become a breeding ground for flesh and blood, or a storehouse of essence and blood.

Along the way, the Yanwu Domain seemed like a dead zone!
The intense aura of death caused Li Wushou's River Styx to boil continuously.

He truly deserves to be called the Blood Buddha who practices Mahayana Buddhism!
That's incredibly bloodthirsty!
After glancing around, Li Wushou greeted him calmly:

"We meet again, Blood Buddha."

The Blood Buddha looked down at Li Wushou and chanted a Buddhist prayer.

"Namo Buddha of Flesh and Blood"

On the large face composed of flesh and blood features, a profound expression appeared.

Seemingly driven by greed, yet also by a desire for confirmation, the Blood Buddha softly said:
"This must be my third meeting with Benefactor Li, right?"

"Oh?"

Li Wushou was somewhat surprised to hear this.

But upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense.

He had indeed met the Blood Buddha three times!

But apart from this time and the time outside of the Three Immortal Mountains of Fenglingdao, the first time was in the Holy Domain that resembled a head in the Domain River.

However, Li Wushou did not appear in his true form at that time, but rather in disguise as the Lord of Evil Ghost Mountain.

This Blood Buddha is indeed somewhat special, just as the old beggar had said!

How could they see through his disguise?!

However, the fact that the other party was able to find the Wu family and deliberately set up an ambush there to wait for me to come means that the other party not only saw through my disguise but also understood my method of controlling the spirit talisman.

Feeling a strange sense of unease, Li Wushou asked softly:

"When did the Blood Buddha see through it?"

Upon hearing Li Wushou's lack of denial, a smile appeared on his large, fleshy face.

Shaking his head slightly, the Blood Buddha replied humbly:
“I did not see through Benefactor Li’s magic, but I remembered the taste of Benefactor Li’s flesh.”

"Benefactor Li has a karmic connection with my Buddha, you should enter my Buddhist sect!" Upon hearing this, Li Wushou saw an undisguised greed on the Blood Buddha's face.

This surprised Li Wushou somewhat!

The Three Immortals Pavilion is craving Blood Buddha's flesh, and Blood Buddha is also craving his flesh.
Honestly, his own meat was indeed delicious, but it depends on who you're looking for.

Is his flesh something anyone can eat?

Intestinal perforation and abdominal rot are the least of your worries!

So far, probably only Chen Gou'er can eat it?

What exactly is the origin of this Blood Buddha?
As Li Wushou pondered, he heard the Blood Buddha speak again:
"People only know that the Second Master of the Three Immortals Mountain has unparalleled combat power and acts recklessly, but they do not know that the Second Master is also well-versed in strategy. Even the primordial spirits of Zi Yan and Wu Xia, giants of the Yanwu Domain, are filled with the smell of Benefactor Li's flesh."

Since Blood Buddha Temple has taken over Yanwu Domain, this humble monk has established the position of the Three Buddhas of the Three Worlds within Blood Buddha Temple.

Li, your practice of using flesh and blood is truly worthy of being called a Buddha of the past.

The children within the Three Immortals Mountain and Longmen Mountain will become future Buddhas.

What does Benefactor Li think?

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"
Blood Buddha indeed sensed the scent of flesh and blood within Zi Yan and Wu Xia through the scent of his own flesh.

For controlling many key figures, Li Wushou mostly used his own flesh and blood to write control talismans. These flesh and blood penetrated deep into the bodies of the controlled people and basically became one with their flesh and blood.

Unexpectedly, the Blood Buddha could still be identified.

That's really quite mysterious!
But the position of the Buddha of the Three Worlds?

If Blood Buddha were to cultivate himself now, wouldn't he be going to devour him and Chen Gou'er?

A meaningful smile appeared on Li Wushou's lips. He ignored the Blood Buddha's suggestion and instead changed the subject, asking:
"Although the Great Venerable Yanwu is not in the Yanwu Domain, his Sacred Domain is anchored there. With the suppression of the other party's Sacred Domain, how did the Blood Buddha achieve enlightenment in the Yanwu Domain?"

Although the Blood Buddha was somewhat special, he was not, after all, a person who was with Wu Qinghe.

I have never been to the forbidden land of immortals!
For a native Nascent Soul cultivator to break through the suppression of the Venerable's Holy Domain and attain enlightenment in someone else's Dao field is no less than reversing the fate of a Venerable while still a Nascent Soul cultivator.

If the Blood Buddha had such abilities, the battle at the Sealed Spirit Path would have been completely different on that day.

The Blood Buddha will surely be of assistance!
Moreover, Li Wushou had some suspicions about this assistance, but he wanted to confirm it again.

Once he takes action, he won't have time to worry about these things anymore.

Blood Buddha, who was waiting for Li Wushou's reply, remained calm after hearing Li Wushou's words.

The chanting of Buddhist scriptures by the numerous mutilated corpses on the giant Buddha suddenly stopped. Their blood-red pupils turned, staring at Li Wushou, and they murmured in unison:
"You have a karmic connection with Buddhism, you should enter our Buddhist path!"

The murmurs grew louder and louder, and the Buddha's light emanating from behind the Blood Buddha's head dyed the clouds in the sky. A vast Buddhist kingdom suddenly descended and hovered above Li Wushou's head.

Centered on the Wu family mansion, the entire area north of Yin-Yang Mountain suddenly sank several feet.

This oppressive aura is far more powerful than the Saintly Domain oppressive aura of Venerable Golden Light!
The Blood Buddha looked down at Li Wushou, offering no reply.

He asked again, word by word:
What is Li Shi's opinion?

Li Wushou looked up at the Blood Buddha and let out a long laugh.

"The Blood Buddha Temple was of little importance in the past, so how can we enshrine the Buddha's position from the past?"

I see the Blood Buddha's face covered in blood; he is about to face great calamity today, so how can he talk about the future?
If we were to actually invite the future Buddha, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to afford the offerings!

Future Buddha?
Chen Gou'er would absolutely be overjoyed to accept it!
The Blood Buddha was young and unaware of the principle that it is easy to invite a Buddha but difficult to send him away.

I truly care about Blood Buddha!

Inside the Three Immortals Pavilion, Chen Gou'er, fast asleep on the bed, had his eyelashes fluttering slightly. The incense ash that the old beggar had placed on Chen Gou'er's nose was rapidly dissipating.

If we don't add more incense ash soon, Chen Gou'er will wake up.

The old beggar stood in front of the bed, showing no intention of adding anything.

He then added a reminder to Li Wushou:
Don't forget our promise!

Li Wushou's words were sincere, but they sounded particularly harsh to Xuefo!
He put his hands together in prayer and recited a Buddhist mantra.

The Buddhist kingdom in the sky suddenly solidified, and the vast mansion of the Wu family turned to ashes. The Buddha's palm pressed down, and a chant resounded in the void:
"Buddha guides those who are destined to receive his teachings!"

Li Wushou stood still, gazing at the Buddha's palm that blotted out the sky, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Save me?!"

With one step, a terrifying aura shot straight into the sky. Li Wushou raised his head and laughed:

Who can save me?
