Chapter 2797 - 72: Lost Path, Zhi Wen_2

But the strength of Evil Insect Observation lies in its microscale, its imperceptibility.

When the Knowledge and Hearing Bell rings, who can remain unaware?

Under the illumination of the Buddha Light, the darkness gathered by Ji Xingkong was almost pressed into a curtain. The bubbles that continuously swell within the night sky were constantly subdued. In an instant, thirty thousand insects arose, none could emerge.

Every tiny insect was illuminated clearly!

With such a brilliant smile, suppressing Ji Xingkong on one side while transmitting power to the secret land of Shenxiao, providing Yang Yu with support as vast as the sea.

...

...

In the Land of Shenxiao.

Clouds surround the Divine Mountain, roads encircle the precious spring.

Yang Yu, while undergoing the trial in the Land of Shenxiao, was constantly communicating with the Knowledge and Hearing Bell.

The injuries of Ken Xihua were not because he couldn’t be taken care of, but because Yang Yu simply didn’t have the distraction to care for him.

The timing he chose was unexpected; who would start contending when there seems to be nothing to gain? Once at the gambling table, who wouldn’t weigh the potential gain and loss before deciding how much to bet?

Though it wasn’t enough to catch Shujia Lan, who had just emerged from the deep forest, off guard, the initiative was already his.

Furthermore, Shujia Lan and Lu Qilang had been fighting openly and covertly along their way, surely expending a lot. Yet he only needed to manage himself and the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, and was in considerably better shape.

It was indeed time to chase and crush the fleeing foe with the remaining strength.

At this moment, the bell in his heart and the bell from beyond the heavens chimed in unison.

The sound of the lost path confuses the Taoist heart, the sound of knowledge and hearing subdues courage.

Focusing the attack on Shujia Lan, it also affected the other demons present.

Zhu Lanruo’s beautiful eyes reflected light and shadow, her jade hand slightly moved with just a pluck of the zither string...

Clang!

Banners unfurled on the battlefield, iron horses and golden spears clashed.

The sharp sound of the zither sliced through the approaching bell sound directly!

From start to finish, Zhu Zheng stood behind Zhu Lanruo, motionless and unharmed.

Lu Qilang just shifted his steps, and the slender sword at his waist was already drawn... clinking!

Though he did not study the sound-hearing path as deeply as Zhu Lanruo, and his sword’s ringing was not as powerful as Zhu Lanruo’s zither sound, he naturally followed a kind of innate spirit perception, like a butcher carving an ox, the sword’s ringing split the bell’s ringing.

She Guyu, at this moment, held the daggers in reverse, red patterns even creeping up to her jaw. Her aura was completely hidden, her form still existing in the observer’s vision, yet her aura absent from the perception of other demons. She had also temporarily vanished from the world of sound! Both the heart bell and the bell from beyond the heavens couldn’t locate her.

The demon kings present, except for Shujia Lan, employed various means to counter this probing range attack without much difficulty.

Only Xiong Sansi merely let out a muffled groan, not moving at all... he actually endured it!

The most relaxed, of course, was Yuan Mengji.

The bell in his heart and the bell from beyond the heavens rang presently.

He hadn’t even realized what was happening yet, when a golden light shield was already protecting him, isolating all threats. Looking left and right, he immediately beamed with joy.

Yang Yu let out a Brahma chant, and the bell rang twice, witnessing all the techniques.

But the busiest was surely Jiang Wang, hidden within the Mirror World.

He had to protect the Peaceful Ghost Messenger Pig Dali, while also guarding the Gale Killing Sword Chai Asi, and had to remain concealed from the demon kings present, and moreover, had to employ different methods for protecting Pig Dali and Chai Asi... truly a day of ceaseless toil.

Yet at that time, Chai Asi encountered demons with a smile, still striving to foster multiple friendly relations, aiming for cooperation and mutual benefit to peacefully pass through the Land of Shenxiao. A glance saw Yang Yu stepping forward, uttering Buddha sounds.

He cursed bitterly in his heart, calling out in distress!

Just as he was about to edge towards Yuan Mengji, shamelessly seeking a golden light shield, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ear: "Fear not."

The Supreme has appeared!

A mysterious power emanated from the Sincere Heart Divine Seal. He felt as though there were an abyss, a prison within his ears, where the intruding Dharma sound fell straight into and could not reach his ear consciousness.

His heart merely felt stable, imbued with a sense of immortality.

The bell from beyond the heavens fell into the prison within his ear, while the heart bell couldn’t shake the Red Heart Seal.

He suddenly stood firm, looking around with proud and haughty eyes.

The so-called geniuses are just so-so; who rivals the old Chai, clouded like a gentle breeze?

Hmm... that so-called Peaceful Ghost Messenger did perform admirably.

Those several slashes against the void, he couldn’t understand at all, yet they resisted the Brahma sound and bell ringing. He figured he might approach this Taiping Dao, possibly absorbing them for his own use.

Yang Yu’s method of making the bell in his heart and the bell from beyond the heavens chime in unison, borrowed from the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, had to be taken seriously even by the numerous heavenly demon seeds affected.

Most notably, Shujia Lan bore the brunt and fell directly into the endless depths!

His hearing was destroyed, his Buddha perception shattered.

The moment he stepped out of the deep forest, he had walked into the abyss.

But what defines a Black Lotus?

It is, at its essence, a flower that blooms in dire straits!

It is the Lotus Buddha born in the Five Filth and Seven Defilements, at the time of the waning of the Heavenly Dao, and the arrival of the End of Dharma.

In extreme evil, a heart of compassion is born.

In the time of destruction, a Bodhi heart is nurtured.

He boldly marched forward, facing Yang Yu directly. That fierce-looking face was covered in a compassionate light.

The black Buddha light was tranquil, bringing peace, harmony, and dormancy.

His large hands lifted, becoming extremely still yet extremely dynamic in an instant, ten fingers weaving as though crafting a kasaya... using this mundane external practice of a sincere devotee, the reverse lotus hand seal was swiftly formed.

He began chanting: "Self-deception ties Bodhi, others’ hearts cannot prove the blooming lotus!"

This was the Buddhist verse left by the Devil Master Tathagata, a classic of the Black Lotus Temple passed down through the ages.

Above Shujia Lan’s head, a crystal-clear black lotus bloomed, corresponding with the black lotus tattooed on his bald head, each petal mirroring another petal.
