Ye Yu was greatly alarmed. This terrifying power was definitely not an ordinary divine ability that a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could wield!
Ye Yu did not dare to be careless. He patted his storage bag and took out a Buddhist sarira bead.
Within the sarira bead, Buddhist light emanated faintly, as if a phantom Buddha was seated inside, chanting the compassionate Buddhist scriptures.
And this Buddhist scripture was the renowned Great Compassion Mantra.
"All phenomena are like illusion; if one sees that phenomena are not phenomena, one sees the Buddha."
"Material things are paramount, while detachment from them is secondary; this is the great path of Buddha, and the heart of Buddha is compassion."
"A thousand methods lead to the same point; ten thousand laws return to one."
"The wondrous methods of countless grains of sand are all within the heart's source. When the heart is free from desire and aversion, it is like the great moon wheel, complete and tranquil, which is Nirvana. And the Buddhist dharma is infinite."
This sarira bead was actually a type of sarira bead that Wu Tao had refined over the past century when he had nothing else to do, using Buddhist sarira to store Buddhist divine abilities.
Upon seeing this, the Yin family's eldest and second brothers paused, their expressions showing hesitation.
Normally, if they unleashed this first-grade divine ability, anyone with a lower realm and cultivation than theirs would surely die.
Even cultivators of the same Nascent Soul stage, if their cultivation was not significantly higher than theirs, would be heavily injured.
At this moment, the two brothers had lost their confidence because the Buddhist light emanating from that sarira bead made them uneasy.
This was because Buddhist divine abilities were too effective at countering their ghost path divine abilities.
...
Then, a torrent of ghost energy emanated from the bodies of the two adjudicators, and their two judge pens shot out two beams of death light!
These two beams of death light contained corrosive power, seemingly capable of corroding everything.
Ye Yu and Yun Hong, separated by such a distance, felt a sense of dread, their very souls showing signs of collapse.
Fortunately, the sarira bead in Ye Yu's hand timely released a dazzling Buddhist light, protecting both Ye Yu and Yun Hong.
...
"Good heavens, these old fellows, despite their usual demeanor, are not simple characters."
This was not the end. The two ten-thousand-zhang-sized spectral forms of the adjudicators let out a roar to the sky and vanished.
All their power converged into the two judge pens, each a thousand zhang in size.
A corrosive aura, hundreds of times more powerful than before, emanated from the two judge pens, which were gradually solidifying.
...
Seeing this, Ye Yu and Yun Hong's pupils contracted. Before they could do anything, they saw the two judge pens shoot directly at them.
The judge pens, symbolizing death, carrying waves of rottenness and decay, killed towards Ye Yu and Yun Hong.
Ye Yu's hair stood on end. Decisively, he threw the sarira bead in his hand backward.
Hidden within this sarira bead was the third of the six Buddhist laws – the Buddha's Fist of Turning Creation!
The sarira bead emitted boundless Buddhist light, and the sounds of chanting Buddhas came from within.
"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"
With a few cracking sounds, the sarira bead directly shattered.
"Rumble!" "Rumble!" "Rumble!"
Vast spiritual energy surged into the sky. At this moment, a human figure appeared from the shattered sarira bead.
This figure was enveloped in Buddhist light, like a Buddha walking through the radiance.
Mighty Buddhist power emerged, and chanting sounds continuously echoed.
The figure stood there, moving bathed in Buddhist light!
An invisible Buddhist aura enveloped everything.
Unknowingly, a mysterious change began to occur in the surroundings.
A ten-thousand-zhang Buddha's golden body suddenly appeared, holding a Buddhist hand seal, displaying Buddhist divine abilities.
The ten-thousand-zhang Buddha's golden body was golden yellow all over, filled with the unique aura of Buddhism.
...
The ten-thousand-zhang Buddha swung its golden-yellow fists, surrounded by Buddhist chants, and smashed them fiercely at the two thousand-zhang-sized judge pens that were lunging towards them!
"Bang!"
When the golden-yellow fists collided with the judge pens, a terrifying roar that shook mountains and earth erupted!
Under the stunned gaze of Ye Yu and Yun Hong, the aftershock of this collision caused the surrounding mountain ranges to collapse, and towering peaks turned into flat ground in an instant.
The next second, Ye Yu and Yun Hong, having barely recovered, gazed at the still-continuing aftershocks in the distance. Unconsciously, they were already drenched in cold sweat, but they didn't notice.
For Ye Yu and Yun Hong at this moment, such a collision of divine abilities was far too terrifying.
"Bastards, I didn't expect these two brats to have such terrifying treasures."
The Yin family's eldest brother jumped up and cursed.
...
The Yin family's second brother's expression also turned extremely grim upon hearing this.
"Damn it, what should we do now?"
...
On the other side.
Ye Yu and Yun Hong's side.
...
Ye Yu spread his wings again and continued to flee into the distance.
There was no choice; they had to run.
Who knew if the Yin family's eldest and second brothers, who were chasing closely behind, had any other tricks up their sleeves?
They couldn't afford to gamble.
As Ye Yu flew with lightning speed, he felt a heartache and cursed loudly.
"These damned old geezers actually made me waste such a powerful treasure."
"When I escape this calamity, I will find every way possible to annihilate your entire clan..."
"And then torment your souls for a hundred years or so, otherwise, my hatred will not be appeased."
...
After speaking, Ye Yu stared at his storage bag with a pained expression.
It was known that sarira beads like this were extremely difficult to create, so even Wu Tao had only given one to each person, and there were no more after they were used.
But for the sake of survival, Ye Yu had no choice but to use this sarira bead.
After all, life was priceless, and any treasure could actually be measured by its value.
Thinking of this sarira bead, Ye Yu couldn't help but praise his master in his heart.
This sarira bead was not only practical but also an absolute life-saving divine artifact.
The reason Wu Tao could create such a sarira bead was related to his experiences at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple back then.
As the saying goes, to learn Buddhism, one must first understand Buddha; to seek Buddha, one must first sow the seed of karma; to enlighten oneself, one must first meditate.
The great path of Buddha: a single foolish thought is the end of wisdom; a single wise thought gives birth to wisdom, and all phenomena are attained.
For some reason, in the realm of Buddhism, he seemed to have a unique talent, and his cultivation was as if aided by gods, extremely smooth.
Even more than these, anything else related to Buddhism was the same.
Ye Yu, carrying Yun Hong, flew for a full hour. The lush, towering ancient trees finally began to thin out.
They could now vaguely see the mountainous range, like a natural chasm, of Shu Commandery.
"Is it this direction?"
"These two brats have finally fallen for it."
"There's an ambush set up long ago."
After exchanging glances, the Yin family's eldest and second brothers narrowed their eyes, a sharp glint flashing past.
Then, the Yin family's eldest and second brothers compared the maps in their hands and nodded secretly.
"It seems to be correct."
At this moment, the Yin family's eldest and second brothers were calculating in their minds, while also considering whether to pursue.
After thinking about it, the Yin family's eldest and second brothers still decided to pursue.
As they were about to reach Shu Commandery, Ye Yu recalled his master's words.
Human hearts are the most unfathomable things in the world. Some matters cannot be bound by rules, precepts, or even ironclad order because human hearts are fickle, and no one knows what others will think in the next moment.
To survive and thrive in the world of cultivation, besides one's own strength and power, another crucial factor is high fame, or in common terms, "reputation."
"Reputation" is the most illusory and harmful thing in the world, vast as the sea, covering everyone.
In the Great Jin Celestial Dynasty, from the emperor and prime minister at the top, to the aristocratic families in the middle, and down to commoners and beggars, everyone in this world cannot escape the bondage of the word "reputation."
...
"Reputation" has caused how many deaths, and how many people have spent their entire lives pursuing this one word "reputation." Emperors and generals, great figures, monks and Taoists, commoners, beggars and bandits, even underage children, cannot escape.
There was once a master who came from a renowned aristocratic family. His cultivation was outstanding, and he had few rivals since his youth. Even those who sought his tutelage had to make appointments a month in advance. After sparring, all challengers were convinced and acknowledged him as "the top master among young people," almost calling him the greatest master in the world.
What happened to this young master, who was famous throughout the land in his youth? He died.
He didn't even reach a hundred years old, and his body was discovered by wolves and tigers after lying in the wilderness for more than ten days, leaving only a pile of white bones. The person who collected the remains identified the deceased's approximate identity through his torn clothes.
Why did he die? Because his parents made a mistake; they taught their son everything they knew.
Their son did not disappoint them, surpassing his masters. But when their son left home to venture into the world.
They did not tell their son that rules are just a joke, and in times of life and death, no one will take them seriously.
Accustomed to so-called "fair duels," the master became vulnerable once he left home and entered the world. He was first poisoned and ambushed, and then stabbed to death from behind by several people.
If it weren't for the fact that this "so-called peerless young master" had a powerful family background in the martial world, and his parents had only one child, they paid dearly and offered a tempting price to avenge their only child, thus finding a few clues.
