NOVPUB"What is filth? Why do you feel it’s filthy? There is nothing in it, how is it any different from all the exquisite food and drink you have seen in the world?"
"But why don’t we eat those exquisite foods and drinks?"
"Because at this moment, you feel they are filthy. You are still attached to appearances, so this is your Cultivation. When you no longer find it filthy but truly enjoy it as you would delicious food and drink, you will no longer be attached to appearances."
"... But disciple doesn’t understand, why do we have to eat human corpses?"
"Because… only the bodies of people can bear countless sufferings and sins. By consuming it, you take on their karma, endure their suffering, and the suffering in the world is constant. If we bear a bit more of it, people in the world will bear a little less, and thus we will be one step closer to becoming Buddhas..."
Memories mixed with countless whisperings of greed, anger, and hatred that rang in his ears and collided with the scenes in front of him, continuously attacking Mingshan’s Spiritual Government.
In this chaos, a voice gradually became clear in his heart:
"But Master… there are so many sufferings in the world. We have done our best to bear the pain for the world, but why… do devastating floods continue to drown sentient beings? Why is there a disaster that destroys our Buddha Kingdom?"
"Is your path truly the right one?"
"I want to become a Buddha, but I… want to live even more!"
The changing faces gradually calmed down.
Mingshan was, after all, an entity at the Nascent Soul stage. Even though this strange entity of unknown origin had triggered the Heart Demon within his cultivation, he had cultivated for a thousand years, and his Spiritual Government was like a mirror, unperturbed by dust. It wouldn’t be so easily shaken.
This difficulty did not shake his faith, but made his path clearer.
The murkiness and haziness in his eyes struggled but gradually became clear.
"Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha..."
Continuously chanting the name of Buddha, his Spiritual Government finally showed signs of stability.
And the black substance on the Buddha statue seemed to fear something, quickly distorted itself, and was absorbed into the statue...
His abnormality quickly caught the attention of Wu Du and Wu Yan.
"Mingshan! What’s going on with you!?"
Wu Yan said anxiously.
He punched the giant Ape into the reef. He was about to attack Xi Wushang, but the giant Ape emerged again in the blink of an eye. Its body was breaking apart, but its ferocity actually increased. It used its four arms to swing a short stick, a Chaotic Sea Trident, a Guillotine Scythe, and a Golden Axe. It directly entwined Wu Yan.
Even though this Ape was not his match.
But its aggressive, death-defying attacks left Wu Yan with no time to worry about anything else.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xi Wushang began chanting spells again.
This time, he prepared for a long time!
Hair disheveled and dancing. His face was extremely serious.
The marks on his face completely disappeared. Countless strands of mana condensed into a point on his finger and pointed towards Wu Yan.
Pure Yuan Sky Finger, the core spell of Chunyuan Peak!
Wu Yan, who was busy exchanging blows with the Wu Monkey King, turned pale in an instant.
He tried to dodge immediately. However, at this moment, the Wu Monkey King also perceived an opportunity. Its already muscular arms suddenly increased in size!
The arms moved with lightning speed, instantly grabbing Wu Yan, whose attention was diverted.
"Not good!"
Wu Yan was shocked!
He struggled frantically!
But at this moment, the air seemed to stall!
The terrifying point of light on Xi Wushang’s fingertip suddenly illuminated the dark sea surface!
A streak of light instantly cut across the darkness, heading straight for Wu Yan’s forehead!
This scene attracted the attention of everyone on Elong Beach.
In Ji Yuan’s eyes, a trace of surprise and unwillingness flashed.
"This damn guy, he’s been holding back!"
Qin Fengyi, who was locked in a continuous back-and-forth with Wu Du under the influence of the Class IV sword energy, couldn’t help but erupt with a look of surprise and admiration.
Wang Ba, having cut off the arm of a Golden Core Craftsman not far in front of Ji Yuan, looked shocked as he watched the streak of light.
Unbidden, a heartfelt admiration sprung up within him:
"Golden Core number one… truly worthy of being the number one Golden Core!"
Unlike him, who had used Mysterious Dragon Soldiers as a shortcut, this was the real deal, purely based on personal ability.
Seeing the streak of light was about to hit Wu Yan, who was unable to escape for a moment, Wang Ba suddenly had a premonition and subconsciously looked into the distance.
Far away, within the huge waterfall forming a sea barrier, an obscure yet astonishing aura suddenly rose. Amidst the cascading waterfall from the sky and the white waves, a huge shadow fleetingly passed by.
"That’s…"
Wang Ba’s heart skipped a beat. Without thinking any further, he immediately looked at Wu Yan.
At the moment when the streak of light was about to hit Wu Yan.
A dark golden Buddha light suddenly illuminated!
Then, a solemn and compassionate Buddha apparition along with Mingshan, who looked calm within the apparition, appeared in front of Wu Yan.
The streak of light collided with the Buddha apparition.
In an instant, the Buddha apparition shook violently, and the streak of light emitted a dazzling light, penetrating deeper and deeper!
Inch by inch, the Buddha’s body shattered and peeled off.
The streak of light became brighter and penetrated deeper at a visible speed.
Yet in the Buddha apparition, Mingshan’s eyes were full of compassion and calmness.
He casually lifted his hand in a flower-holding gesture.
The re-condensed hand of the Buddha slowly reached out for the streak of light, and then held it in his palm…
"Amitabha."
Boom!
The Buddha’s palm tightened, and in an instant, the streak of light scattered!
Lighting up the Buddha apparition in a majestic and magnificent way.
At this moment.
The Buddha’s light shone everywhere.
