Chapter 1915: Chapter 1911: Buddha’s Light Shakes the Heavens (First Update)
"Hmm!" Yuan Tong, who was striding forward, suddenly stopped.
"Senior Brother, what’s wrong again?" Hui Tong asked.
"Blessed be the compassionate! How can there be such a powerful demonic aura?" Yuan Tong lifted his eyes to the night sky, his round face filled with bewilderment.
"Demonic aura? What’s so strange about that? Perhaps some demonic cultivators passed by here." Hui Tong said carelessly.
You should know there are many sects and schools within the Human Clan, a bewildering array of them, practicing all sorts of things.
This Thousand Sect Grand Gathering, having a few demonic cultivators show up is quite a normal occurrence.
"No, that’s not it!" Yuan Tong’s face grew solemn, "This demonic aura is deep and terrifying, definitely not something the Human Clan could cultivate."
Just then, several shadows darker than the night streaked across the sky, rushing toward a hostel.
Buddha-light flashed in Yuan Tong’s eyes, and with a single step, he quickly arrived before the six shadows, then clasped his hands together with a smile and said,
"Blessed be the compassionate! Dear friends, what business takes you out at such a late hour, instead of being at home asleep?"
The six shadows halted; they were the Ghostly Guards under Luo Rongjin.
Expressionless, with ghostly flames flickering in their eyes, they gazed coldly at Yuan Tong.
Seeing this, Yuan Tong’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he let out a light sigh, filled with compassion, "To think these are ghostly beings refined from countless living souls, truly a sin!"
He then chanted a Buddhist mantra, "Namo Amitabha, the vast reach of Buddha’s teachings; yet I am reluctant to harm you, so whatever you plan, it is best you withdraw quickly."
But the six Ghostly Guards remained unmoved, instead slowly spreading out, positioning themselves around Yuan Tong.
"Blessed be the compassionate, must we resort to violence?" Yuan Tong sighed, hands clasped in prayer, head lowered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the six Ghostly Guards simultaneously launched their attack, the piercing wind and chilling wails accompanying their advance.
Meanwhile,
The entire hostel was already in an uproar.
Everyone staying here was a formidable genius from different factions, yet even they were alarmed by this terrifying demonic aura.
"What is happening, why has such a powerful demonic expert suddenly appeared?" someone asked in shock.
"It doesn’t seem like a demonic expert, more like ghostly beings." One with discerning eyes immediately saw through the disguise of the six Ghostly Guards and said gravely.
"And who is this monk?"
"I don’t know, but I fear he might not survive."
But as soon as these words were spoken, they saw Yuan Tong leisurely raise his eyes, the golden wheel at his nape shining forth, enveloping him in solemn majesty, then he softly murmured,
"Blessed be the compassionate, Buddha is merciful, haven’t you retreated yet?"
At his words, the Buddha-light intensified, directly propelling the six Ghostly Guards backward.
Everyone witnessing this scene was utterly astonished.
"My heavens, it’s actually a Great Bodhisattva of the Immaterial Realm!" someone whispered, their eyes filled with awe.
In Buddha cultivation, the Immaterial Realm is on par with Immortal Kings, and due to the unique nature of Buddha cultivation, their strength is even greater than usual Immortal Kings.
Thus, wherever they go, those of the Immaterial Realm are respectfully hailed as Bodhisattvas.
This astonishing scene naturally did not escape the notice of Xue An and others.
Xiao Sha looked at the sky with amazement and said, "Master, that bald head seems very powerful!"
Xue An did not respond to Xiao Sha, but instead observed the dignified Yuan Tong monk in the sky, a faint smile on his lips, then softly said,
"So the heir of Dingchan Temple has finally appeared? I wonder how that demon monk is doing lately!"
No sooner had he spoken, the six Ghostly Guards, who had been sent flying, exchanged glances and then howled in unison at the sky.
In their howls, the ghostly flames in their eyes flared, and then they began to spew demonic aura from their mouths.
Within the demonic aura, countless human heads faintly appeared, struggling relentlessly to break free from its grip.
Instead of breaking free, their cries grew more desperate as the demonic aura tightened its hold.
Instantly, the sky was filled with dark clouds, echoing with the harrowing cries of constrained souls, too painful to bear hearing.
Yet the more those souls struggled, the more towering the stature of the six Ghostly Guards became.
An overwhelming force of vengeful spirits was madly pouring into their bodies, making them ever more formidable, their strength naturally increasing.
In the blink of an eye, six massive spectral beings, over a hundred zhang high, loomed in the sky.
The impenetrable demonic aura enshrouded the sky, dimming even Yuan Tong’s Buddha-light.
Then the six Ghostly Guards stepped forward in unison, demonic aura like blades, intending to tear Yuan Tong apart.
Yuan Tong’s face was filled with a compassionate and sorrowful expression, "Blessed be the compassionate, to extract power through the torment of living souls, such methods are truly against heavenly harmony. Since you remain obstinate, today I will embody Vajra’s Furious Gaze to rescue these souls."
Having said this, Yuan Tong suddenly raised his eyes, the Buddha-light around him flaring intensely, then he lightly exclaimed,
"Prajna Buddhas!"
Boom!
A grand and compassionate Buddha-light soared into the sky, like a brilliant sun and moon, vaporizing all the demonic aura.
Not only that, Yuan Tong slowly stretched out a hand like white jade, with eyes modestly downcast, pressing a palm down.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The six Ghostly Guards let out painful wails, then were crushed to dust by a mighty force.
Countless souls were freed, endless and boundless, filling the sky, all eyes fixed on Yuan Tong.
With a compassionate expression, Yuan Tong clasped his hands in prayer, "Namo Amitabha, you have suffered, but now your grievances have dispersed. Let me bear all the karma, and you may achieve liberation."
As he finished, a faint mark appeared on the golden wheel at the back of his head.
The souls collectively shuddered, relief etched upon their faces.
Yuan Tong, eyes lowered, softly chanted, "Guan Zizai Bodhisattva, may you all find liberation."
Then he suddenly raised his eyes, stepping down towards the void, "Be gone now!"
Boom!
This one step shook half of The Purple Microcosm City.
Boundless Buddha-light swept across, instantly covering the entire night sky.
The souls beneath this Buddha-light showed expressions of joy and peace, bowing deeply to Yuan Tong before slowly fading away, eventually disappearing.
Everyone watched this scene in a daze, and those Buddha cultivators were so moved they shook uncontrollably, kneeling and kowtowing towards Yuan Tong in the sky.
Others, too, displayed reverence in their eyes.
Regardless, this Great Monk was willing to bear the karma to liberate these souls.
This compassion commanded respect.
Meanwhile,
The Buddha-light that shook the heavens began to disperse, finally gathering entirely within Yuan Tong.
Then Yuan Tong slowly raised his eyes, facing the gazes of geniuses from everywhere, his face blushed, then he gave a simple-minded smile, "Blessed be the compassionate, good evening to you all."
After this extremely awkward greeting, he turned and descended to the ground, softly saying to his junior brother Hui Tong, "Let’s go quickly."
