Chapter 511: Chapter 237 "Jin’an, Stop Breathing..."_3
"So, the Buddhist Sect has been raising them all along?" Lu Jin’an asked curiously.
"Perhaps they are just raising Kong Wu." Xiao Yinruo’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Dismiss the idea of sowing discord among them, they won’t start a conflict over a trivial matter like this."
"I didn’t think that. If the two old monsters were that stupid, they wouldn’t have lived until now." Lu Jin’an shook his head: "I was just wondering where the exit would be?"
"Under the lotus seat."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin’an looked at the lotus platform beneath Emperor Kongwu, separated by an eternity of years. The light of the lotus platform remained, but now the golden light was accompanied by the same black mist as that surrounding the female dragon.
"She is reconstructing her Immortal Body." Xiao Yinruo observed the half-body of Emperor Kongwu: "It should be nearly completed, or else she wouldn’t be so eager for the yang energy of someone at the Tribulation Crossing Realm."
Her voice paused, and she suddenly teased: "Maybe she wants to keep you here to slowly absorb you."
Lu Jin’an immediately showed a distasteful expression: "If the bones in Fuyin City were all slowly drained by her, that would be too messy... lecherous monk!"
After a pause, he added: "Even if not, I am not interested at all."
"Why?"
"No hair," Lu Jin’an said: "Not as pretty as you... I just like long flowing hair."
Xiao Yinruo chuckled softly: "Still in the mood to tease your aunt?"
Just as Lu Jin’an was about to speak, he suddenly felt the Buddha Beads in his palm release a warmth. Xiao Yinruo raised an eyebrow, and Lu Jin’an looked down, a bit surprised: "Space, time? It doesn’t seem like it..."
The originally plain Buddha Beads seemed to be stained with a layer of blood-red, spreading from the center point across the entire bead. The minute scriptures engraved on it also began to light up gradually, with the faint sound of a Buddhist Seal being chanted.
However, the speed at which it lit up was extremely slow, as if suppressed by something.
Xiao Yinruo slightly furrowed her eyebrows; in her perception, the Buddha Beads didn’t contain Space Power, nor did they seem like Time Power, but rather a Daoist Skill akin to the law of reincarnation.
The slowness in the flow of rules seemed related to the environment here.
Grey mist? Or some kind of array?
"Hmph!"
A muffled grunt came from the throat of Emperor Kongwu. Xiao Yinruo and Lu Jin’an simultaneously looked over, just in time to see one of the lotus petals beneath her throne releasing Buddha Light, suddenly suppressing the surrounding grey mist.
Xiao Yinruo mused: "A key?"
Emperor Kongwu then turned her gaze to Xiao Yinruo, and also to the Buddha Beads in Lu Jin’an’s hand. She let out a light laugh: "Two guests, where did you acquire them?"
Lu Jin’an, after pondering for two seconds, said: "Emperor Shitian."
"Guessed as much," Emperor Kongwu sighed lightly: "That junior has always wanted to kill me, showing no respect for his teacher or the Dao."
"But..." Emperor Kongwu’s eyes deepened: "What makes you think you can?"
She seemed vigilant.
Here, a Spirit Gathering Array maintained the spiritual power of Emperor Kongwu and the female dragon, and a Shura Formation was hidden in this place, drawing upon the flesh and blood energy of ancient times.
The Shura Formation also served as a Killing Array, capable of instantly mobilizing the Golden Body dharma image of the Great Buddha buried here, in conjunction with the Dead Tide to construct a grand formation to annihilate the Divine Concealment.
Emperor Kongwu was curious what these two relied on to kill her?
But she had experienced Emperor Shitian’s strength, such a formidable Emperor Shitian wouldn’t send someone to their death so casually, would he?
Especially one of them, a junior with abundant yang energy... sure they’re not delivering a gift?
Emperor Kongwu looked at Xiao Yinruo. This woman’s Forget Love Path was exceptional even in her era, but her strength... spiritual power was too depleted.
Within the current system, even if both were Late Divine Presence strength, the amount of spiritual power could determine the victory.
This woman had indeed demonstrated great power with her sword, aided by the Heavenly Testing Technique just now, but only destroyed her Golden Body. Even if she could swing one more sword, so what?
This wasn’t the woman’s home turf.
In the most extreme case, even if she walked the ’world for oneself’ path of Forget Love, here, she couldn’t exhibit its supposed grandeur.
Emperor Kongwu contemplated this, but inside she remained on high alert.
The outcome now depended on this moment.
Xiao Yinruo looked at Emperor Kongwu from afar, smiling slightly: "Want to try?"
Lu Jin’an looked down at the Buddha Beads in his hand. If nothing unexpected happened, this was the work of Fan Zhouxing, but was its purpose merely a key?
Though the material of the Buddha Beads was an Immortal Artifact, how powerful could it be in Fan Zhouxing’s hands?
He gently touched the bead with his fingertip, staining it with a layer of red.
’Blood...’
Lu Jin’an pondered, and Xiao Yinruo continued: "Buddha Burial Valley, Dragon Clan Altar, and you... my guesses should be correct, yet I still came."
"Because you have no other way out." Emperor Kongwu’s voice carried the unique weight of a Great Buddha: "You have only this one path to tread."
Xiao Yinruo’s voice remained calm: "Among so many roads, I’ve only come to you, only you are still alive, the other Great Buddhas who have passed away here...
have all become your nourishment."
Lu Jin’an glanced at Emperor Kongwu, thinking that the other Great Buddhas were likely drained of their yang energy by this female lecherous monk.
"They died, why do their Golden Bodies still remain?" Emperor Kongwu’s gaze swept past the female dragon, her voice serene: "They..."
Her voice paused, once again looking at the Buddha Beads in Lu Jin’an’s hand.
Threads of energy and blood spread, seemingly nurturing a faint momentum within.
Although it was just a wisp, the surrounding grey mist seemed to shrink back, only to gather once more around the Forget Love Dao Domain.
An unusual light flashed in Emperor Kongwu’s eyes: "Vast Righteous Qi?"
Confucianism cultivates righteousness, Taoism practices non-action, Buddhism transforms resentment.
Confucianism reaches the world, Taoism to the body, Buddhism to the heart... Emperor Kongwu pondered as she glanced at Xiao Yinruo, feeling increasingly vigilant.
