Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Xuan Ming’s Heart Conceives Compassion
The three Buddha Ancestors, along with the extrely formidable Peacock Great Bright King Bodhisattva, were putting the Ancestral Witches under imnse pressure, and just as Houtu was about to be clamped by the Golden Alms Bowl, fortunately, a sword light soared into the sky, sending the Golden Alms Bowl flying and trembling non-stop.
“The Extermination Immortal Sword!” The three Buddha Ancestors and Kong Xuan were all startled. They were all slick veterans; upon seeing the sword, how could they not understand its significance? They turned to leave imdiately.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Xuan Ming’s voice was cold as millennium-old profound ice. A Slaying Immortal Sword, like a rainbow piercing the sun, surged forth, striking directly at Tathagata’s face. Tathagata, taken aback, raised a ditation mat to block it, but the Slaying Immortal Sword cut through it as easily as tofu. However, its montum was greatly diminished since the sword was not wielded by the Tong Tian Sect Master, and therefore lacked full power.
“Swoosh!”
Another sword light surged, blocking Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan brandished his Five-Colored Divine Light, intending to collect this Immortals Slaying Sword, but the sword cleverly dodged, bursting with endless Sword Qi and Slaying Qi to prevent Kong Xuan from escaping. Maitreya and Burning Lamp also sought to escape but were t with the appearance of another sword, the Entrapnt Immortal Sword, while the Extermination Immortal Sword flew in from the side!
“The Slaying Immortals Sword Formation, my life is over!” Burning Lamp exclaid in terror, clearly aware of the power of the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation.
But Wukong and Xuan Ming knew nothing of the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation; the formation was rely derived by Wukong relying on the Formation extrapolated from the Hongng Purple Qi. Although less powerful compared to the true Slaying Immortals Sword Formation, it was certainly not to be underestimated. A misstep could spell doom.
Kong Xuan’s Five-Colored Divine Light could collect any Magical Treasure, but these four swords had ford a formation, which could not be so easily collected. The killing intent resisted, the Five-Colored Divine Light could not break through, and Kong Xuan was at his wits’ end. Surrounded by the four swords, with the Twelve Ancestral Witches at his side, and the Capital Heavenly Divine Slayer Formation about to be deployed, his old life was in jeopardy!
All happened so suddenly that the other eleven Ancestral Witches were sowhat shocked. They saw a man and a woman erupting from the Reincarnation Pool—Xuan Ming and the Taoist from the day at the ladder of the Forty-Nine Heavens. Then, four Slaying Swords descended from the sky to suppress the four directions; water, fire, wind, and thunder operated, killing intent boiled, eerie winds howled, and Sword Qi crisscrossed.
At that mont, a Seven-Colored Divine Light, from out of nowhere, struck directly at the door of the Slaying Immortals.
A Slaying Sword’s killing intent burst forth, standing against the Seven-Colored Divine Light, tangling and then clashing together, manifesting as a green Taoist and a seven-colored Taoist fighting each other.
Another Nine-Colored Lotus flew in, capturing the Exterminate Immortal and Entrapnt Immortal gates. Kong Xuan, overjoyed, dispersed the Five-Colored Divine Light and brushed away the Immortals Slaying Sword, and with the three Buddha Ancestors, they joined forces to break the Immortals Slaying gate and fled.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches all had grim expressions, as if they had discerned sothing.
A Bodhi branch appeared out of nowhere, entangling the Extermination Immortal Sword along with the Nine-Colored Lotus, locked in a difficult battle.
To prevent the collapse of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, these people seed to have an understanding, not using their full strength. The battle was quite delicate and beautiful—an appearance of no effort, but in reality, it was extrely dangerous. A regular person caught up in it would likely turn to ash instantly, eting the sa fate as drawing cakes to satisfy hunger.
The three Buddha Ancestors and Kong Xuan took this opportunity to break free. Seeing the people escaping, the Slaying Immortal Four Swords lost their will to fight and disappeared as well. After a mont, the Slaying Immortal Four Swords also soared into the heavens. Wukong did not stop them—wanting to stop them was one thing, but being able to was another.
This ti, the Buddhist Sect had suffered a great loss of face. The three Buddha Ancestors from the past, future, and present had joined forces to cause trouble but had been outwitted. Not only did Burning Lamp gain no advantage, but he also lost a Sea-Calming Pearl. Tathagata’s large golden bowl had been struck by Di Jiang’s Reincarnation Pen, leaving a gap, and his ditation mat was also ruined. Furthermore, Maitreya’s Golden Alms Bowl had been cleaved by the Extermination Immortal Sword, it now had a gap, and he had also suffered a light injury from Ru Shou.
Just now, Wukong had thought he could capture Tathagata but did not expect that two Magical Treasures would co out of nowhere, withstanding the Tong Tian Sect Master’s four Slaying Swords, and Xuan Ming had been too busy wielding the sword to join the eleven Ancestral Witches in forming the Capital Heavenly Divine Slayer Formation. Moreover, the origins of those two Magical Treasures were likely extraordinary. He believed that Sakyamuni Tathagata Buddha would eventually die by his own hand, for one’s destiny is ultimately inescapable.
“Hehe, thanks for the help, Taoist Brother!” Zhu Rong said to Wukong with a cold sneer, extrely displeased with the troubles he had stirred up by barging into the Reincarnation World.
“Today I’d like to see how you will escape,” Ru Shou said coldly, looking at Wukong. With the Twelve Ancestral Witches gathered, even if the Slaying Immortal Four Swords were at hand, he would turn to ash, eting the fate of drawing cakes to satisfy hunger, let alone now that the Four Swords had been taken by the Tong Tian Sect Master.
Wukong simply smiled and said, “Apart from forcibly entering the Reincarnation to search for soone, I don’t seem to have any other grievances with the Ancestral Witches.”
Di Jiang was fidgeting with the Reincarnation Pen in his hands, not saying a word, as if waiting for sothing.
“Attack!”
Zhu Rong bellowed a command, a murderous intent flashing across her beautiful face, ready to burn Wukong with the essence of the true sun.
However, Xuan Ming simply pointed his finger, and a millennium-old ice surfaced, blocking Zhu Rong’s path, saying, “Do not act rashly.”
“Why not!” Zhu Rong scread.
Xuan Ming said indifferently, “Had it not been for him, I’m afraid I would still find it difficult to co out this early and thoroughly understand my own heart. Let him go.”
Zhu Rong, however, said, “He has made us lose face; we cannot let him go. Otherwise, if word gets out, how can we establish ourselves thereafter?”
Wukong chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t ntion it to anyone. I am not one to gossip.”
Zhu Rong scoffed, obviously not convinced.
It was at this mont that Di Jiang spoke up, saying, “Since that’s the case, fellow Taoist, you may leave. I also believe that you are not one to gossip.”
Wukong gave Di Jiang a saluting gesture and smiled, “Many thanks!”
Then, without further delay, he mounted his Sorsault Cloud and departed, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Rong couldn’t help stamping her foot, saying, “Big brother, why did you let that guy go?”
Di Jiang smiled and shook his head, saying, “If you don’t let him go, Xuan Ming will disagree. Since he’s gone, let it be. Without him, I fear it wouldn’t be easy for us to deal with the three great Buddha Ancestors! We should repay him the favor. If we et him again, whatever you wish to do then, I will not object.”
Xuan Ming still remained silent.
But Zhu Rong had begun to laugh, saying, “Good, those are your words, big brother. If we run into that kid again, I will definitely catch him and take very good care of him!”
When she said “take care,” she clearly did so through gritted teeth, evidently harboring so resentnt towards Wukong.
Di Jiang, however, thought to himself, “How could one who thoroughly understands their own heart through reincarnation be an ordinary person? Next ti? By the ti you see him again, he’s likely to have beco a Daluo Golden Immortal and it won’t be so easy for you to deal with him.” Thinking thus, he glanced at Xuan Ming again, his thoughts growing deeper, “Much must have happened in that reincarnation world; otherwise, Xuan Ming wouldn’t have acted like this. With her icy nature, when would she ever care about the life and death of others?”
After dispersing everyone and instructing them to return to their posts, Di Jiang summoned Xuan Ming.
“What happened in that cycle of reincarnation?” Di Jiang asked.
“Within that Reincarnation World, there were six Buddha Golden Bodies drawing rit, accumulating power. However, it seems that this matter was sohow leaked, becoming known. Therefore, the Tong Tian Sect Master laid out a grand strategy, introducing the Slaying Immortal Four Swords into the Reincarnation World. The Heaven-Defying Taoist sohow entered the reincarnation as well. As you should know, living beings in the Reincarnation World will inevitably be entangled with cause and effect, so after… dispatching those six Buddha Golden Bodies, he painted a scroll, depicting six cycles of reincarnation. Therefore, we gained enlightennt about our own hearts and were able to erge from reincarnation,” Xuan Ming recounted the entire sequence of events to Di Jiang.
Upon hearing this, Di Jiang fell into a deep contemplation, saying, “Reincarnation is indeed unpredictable… It’s unlikely that the Tong Tian Sect Master alone had the ability to set this up. I fear that the Three Pure Ones acted together! Hmm, this is also to our advantage. Although they used you, they also did us a great favor. I was wondering why the rit within reincarnation was so sparse; it turns out these hypocritical Buddhas were up to no good!”
Xuan Ming nodded and said, “I’ve gained much from this journey into reincarnation; I shall go into retreat now.”
Di Jiang waved his hand and said, “Go ahead, if there’s anything, I’ll call for you.”
Xuan Ming, not one for unnecessary words, executed a Dharma Decree and returned to her own cave abode after Di Jiang had finished speaking.
She sat cross-legged, with her hands overlapped near her lower abdon, focusing her mind and calming her breath.
“How easy is it to let go of the entanglents and causes of six lifetis of reincarnation?” Xuan Ming sighed inwardly.
After a while, she snapped out of her thoughts, realizing she had been pondering the events within reincarnation for half a day. Although seven lifetis had passed in reincarnation, only seven days had passed outside.
The transformation of the sea into mulberry fields? The world changes, people co and go?
None of these phrases seed apt to describe her current situation.
So Xuan Ming stopped pondering and quieted her mind, beginning her retreat to comprehend everything she had learned in reincarnation.
