Tao Qian, Shan Jiu, and Bai Qin, the three of them were clearly inside the belly of Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, surrounded by corrosive, deadly fluids and flesh walls that could crush Demon Cultivators. These accompanying bizarre elents from the Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Dharma Form should have shredded and swallowed these three "invading aliens."
Strangely, however, they completely ignored the three n.
Seeing this, Tao Qian turned to inquire of Bai Qin, but as the thought occurred, he also guessed what that shaless old monk would likely say.
Not wanting to give the old monk a chance to boast, Tao Qian forcefully suppressed his impulse. He followed Bai Qin through layers of flesh within the belly of the Beautiful Corpse and past the layers of physical body prison.
After a few monts, when Tao Qian looked again, they had astonishingly erged at the deepest part of the enormous Dharma Form of Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva.
Ahead, heaps of at amber were piled up, bursting with a mix of demonic and Buddha Light, illuminating this bizarre space as if it were Buddha Country World.
In the distance, familiar Buddhist hymns could be vaguely heard, along with the calming and serene fragrance of sandalwood.
Further observation revealed the flesh walls above, adorned with many rare Magic Artifacts such as Magic conchs, Treasure Vases, Treasure Staffs, Treasure Beads, Vajra Pestles, Magic Bells, Lotuses... all resonating crisply under the illumination of Buddha Light, which would indeed resemble a sanctified, majestic Bodhisattva Daoist Field, if not for the disgusting flesh embedded with evil eyes.
At the deepest part of this Buddha Light space, atop a gigantic flesh lotus throne,
the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva—with a crown of treasures and a neck adorned with Eight Treasures—was seated cross-legged just like a true Bodhisattva.
Her hands were forming a Demon Buddha Dharma Seal, above which floated a dim, mottled Shariputra.
From this scene, it was clear that the Beautiful Corpse's Primordial Spirit was striving hard to refine Bai Qin's relic.
Seeing this, Bai Qin showed no sign of panic on his face, and instead ridiculed,
"This relic contains hundreds of Bird Demons, those Demon heads are full of demonic nature, but their origins were refined by Buddhist Law."
"Having joined the Great Freedom Temple and cultivated Buddhist Law for many years, I have already integrated Buddha and Demon into one. Not only can this junior Beautiful Corpse not refine my relic, but not even my senior monk brother can."
"If it were not so, I need not have gone through all the trouble to escape tribulation in Southern Yue."
The last sentence was directed at Tao Qian.
Regrettably, by this point, they had already turned on each other.
Tao Qian showed no respect for him as an elder; he wore no pleasant expression.
Bai Qin's earlier words effectively told Tao Qian:
"I intend to use your body to transcend tribulation; all the costs and consequences are yours to bear, while I, this elevated monk, can escape and be reborn."
Moreover, after obtaining those hundred Protecting Dharma Vajras, cleansed of all demonic nature through Human Dao destiny, he could even establish an offshoot, "Bai Qin Temple," outside Great Freedom Temple and directly beco the founding patriarch.
Such clever calculations!
This had indeed put Tao Qian and Bai Qin at odds, deathly so.
Although it had not been long, countless thoughts had already flashed through Tao Qian's mind.
He was still contemplating how to break this deadlock, but unfortunately, the gap in their strength was too vast, leaving Tao Qian clueless for the mont.
Bai Qin was clearly accustod to speaking in that manner, even though Tao Qian gave him no opportunity.
Now, within the Beautiful Corpse Dharma Form Secret Acupoint, where their three invading figures were ignored, Bai Qin imdiately seized this opportunity. He first summoned the "Round Light Mirror," reflecting the various movents and changes on the battlefield, and then directed Tao Qian towards the Beautiful Corpse's Primordial Spirit.
anwhile, he spoke in that familiar tone:
"Although the Beautiful Corpse claims to cultivate Buddha, Demon, and Devil arts, she truly masters none, rely scratching the surface."
"Take the Buddhist Law, for instance. Despite having a fine origin like Guanyin Temple, her cultivation turned out hybrid and ambiguous, truly a pity."
"This minor Free Buddhist Law of Formlessness I am currently deploying is poorly refined. If the Bodhisattva Daoists from Guanyin Temple were here, they would see through in a blink."
"But this misguided Beautiful Corpse, even if you, the benefactor, were to shout in her ear, she would hear nothing."
After uttering his last phrase, Bai Qin chuckled again and then guided Tao Qian to look towards the Round Light Mirror.
Inside, the final battle was unfolding:
When Tang Xianzong executed his crazy "flaying" action, whether it was Ji Xianxian and Qin Wuxiang, or the group of Righteous Cultivators led by Infant Sect's Li Shantong, they all had the sa realization—that Tang Xianzong was using a Heavenly Demon Secret Technique and was about to deliver a truly fatal blow.
If they couldn't stop him, Southern Yue would be dood.
Thus, regardless of the side, they all launched a frantic assault on the Devil God Army at that mont.
And the latter also entered a frenzied state amidst Tang Xianzong's agonizing screams, all soldiers of the Devil God Army and recruited Demon Evil Cultivators recklessly blocking attacks from all directions, determined to buy Tang Xianzong ti.
The battle had reached such an extent that the terrain outside Seeking Immortal City had completely transford.
Blood and corpses were everywhere.
The landscape had changed to include countless fresh blood swamps, Blood Lakes, and flesh mountains.
Both sides knew that only one could erge victorious.
The loser would be slaughtered clean.
Even though the Beautiful Corpse was selfish, she was forced to stand with Tang Xianzong.
Thus, she also cooperated with several other Great Demons trying to use her Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Ming King Dharma Form to hold down Infant Sect's Li Shantong, which in turn cornered him.
Tao Qian finally saw the appearance of the Sect Master of the Infant Sect at this mont.
True to his na, he was indeed just a child.
About eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a Daoist robe, wearing a rounded Daoist hat, with a delicate and lovely appearance and a red mole at the center of his forehead, incredibly cute.
Yet, to anyone who saw his eyes, he would not seem like an ordinary child.
At this mont, illuminated by the Round Light Technique, his eyes were deep black with an extrely peculiar oppressive power.
Such an "abnormality" would be terrifying enough on an ordinary mortal, let alone now, upon a child.
Tao Qian was also startled.
Though he had not made eye contact with Li Shantong, rely peeking through the Round Light, he still felt an extrely sharp and terrifying aura, as if it were tearing apart his soul.
At this mont, Tao Qian finally understood why, despite the Beautiful Corpse's overwhelming divine powers and mana against cultivators of the sa level, assistance was still needed from several Cavernous Mystery Demons to barely manage a fight with this child.
Just in ti, Bai Qin's voice rang in his ear again:
"Do not be alard, Benefactor. Li Daoist might detect my Round Light Technique, but he has long been aware of my plans and will not make any unusual moves."
"As of now, in this battlefield, the likes of Tang Xianzong and Ji Xianxian are not even worth my notice."
"Only Li Daoist is indeed a prodigy."
"Blessed with double pupils from birth, he entered the Infant Sect for cultivation in his youth. He managed to achieve Foundation Establishnt in just a few years and has maintained this appearance for many years."
"Though he appears to be at the Cavernous Mystery Realm now, he could enter the Ultimate Happiness Realm at any mont if he wishes."
"However, his cultivated technique is special; he accumulates slowly and only briefly stays at the Ultimate Happiness before directly entering the Daoist Transformation Realm. Li Daoist is in his accumulating phase and does not want to waste his previous efforts, which is why he heeded my advice not to initiate a reckless slaughter."
"Alas, if not for the Infant Sect's myriad infant spirits going to the Outer Realm and encountering the rupture of the Ancestor God Forbidden Technique, weakening the sect to an unprecedented level, it would be hard to stir up such a calamity in Southern Yue. One can only say it is both timing and fate."
"It's also fortunate that you, Benefactor, have appeared, otherwise I would have to face Li Daoist directly to escape the tribulation and transfer the karma, which I am not confident about."
"I am unsure, very unsure."
Tao Qian was fiercely enraged by the words of the old monk.
Although Bai Qin did not explicitly state it, Tao Qian could tell.
He had used his facade of a profound monk to deceive Infant Sect's Li Shantong, which allowed him to carry out his great plan of tribulation evasion and opening channels calmly.
Bai Qin did not need to confront Li Shantong but turned to deceive him instead, which was utterly despicable.
However, soon Tao Qian's eyes narrowed, and his ntality shifted to one of neither sorrow nor joy.
He did not engage further and decided not to give the old scoundrel a chance to boast.
As Bai Qin muttered his uncertainties, in the Round Light Illusion Mirror, the dignified Infant Sect Master with his double pupils,
noticing the Beautiful Corpse and several Cavernous Mystery Demons entangling him again, a cold smirk hooked at the corner of his mouth. He slashed fiercely with his long sword, and imdiately a horrifying billion streaks of sword light, much like the real Milky Way pouring down, surged toward the Beautiful Corpse and several Cavernous Mystery Demons.
Within the Round Light Mirror, apart from the sword lights, there was nothing else.
The Beautiful Corpse and Cavernous Mystery Demons, despite their imnse Dharma Bodies, were immobilized by the slashing sword lights, becoming riddled with holes in an instant.
Tao Qian had once marveled at the "Xuan Yin Invisible Sword Array" gifted by Lin Xiaohua for its power, but now, he felt it would take ten thousand of those arrays to mimic such a force.
And yet, it was not over.
A stern youthful voice ca from the source of the sword light galaxy:
"Beautiful Corpse and you beasts,"
"I won't kill you for now, but don't think of escaping Southern Yue."
"After I deal with that bastard Tang Xianzong, I will co for you."
As the words fell, Tao Qian saw Li Shantong suddenly reach into his robe and pull out an incredibly beautiful net, woven of aurora and starlight.
Without a glance, he threw the net towards the desperately trying to flee Great Demons.
Alas, it was too late.
The net expanded upon catching the wind, and in an instant, it grew large enough to envelop a mountain or a city.
As it fell, the area increased several folds instantly.
In no ti, including the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, several Cavernous Mystery Great Demons were all trapped inside.
And imdiately turned from tangible to intangible.
This was bad news for the Great Demons.
Because the next mont, the region transford as though teleported to the poles.
Terrifyingly intense aurora rays burst forth, pulling back those Great Demons who had risen to leave and firmly suppressing them to the ground.
Then, amid resounding "thunderous booms," infinite deep starlight descended from the sky, starting to tornt the seemingly mighty devil bodies of the Great Demons.
Screams!
Howls!
Erupted from the mouths of the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva and the others.
Yet, they couldn't escape.
This scene was akin to pinning them down to the ground, torturing them, and being spectated by many mortals.
But the most delighted was Bai Qin Demon, standing beside Tao Qian.
He seed to have been waiting for this mont, his wrinkled face relaxing with excitent:
"Li Daoist is indeed trustworthy."
"This treasure, called the 'Little Antarctic Magnetic Light Star Evil Net,' is considered a treasure even in the Infant Sect."
"Without this treasure to completely suppress the Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Dharma Form of the Beautiful Corpse, I really wouldn't know where to find enough flesh and essence qi for the baifacts Qi Demons to absorb and devour to restore my forr majestic appearance."
"Now, it's much easier."
