“Empty sea.”
Yuan Zhen shouted sharply, shattering the ground beneath her feet with one foot, followed by the recoil and rushed towards Shi Jue.
Shi Jue once again collided with Yuan Zhen’s golden glowing palm. This time both sides took a step back, evenly matched.
When Shi Jue looked at Yuan Zhen’s face, which had faintly become a few years younger, he had an idea of Yuan Zhen’s sudden strength and immediately said, “Fellow Buddha Yuan Zhen, if you unlock the “Wither and Glory Meditation Technique” at this moment, all your previous preparations will be lost, and the probability of breaking through to the True Dan realm will be reduced by at least 30%.
Yuan Zhen’s qi and blood had begun to deplete early due to the excessive use of “asceticism” as a means of cultivation, and if she had not used the “Wither and Glory Meditation Technique” to nurture her vitality, she might have died early due to qi and blood depletion.
If Yuan Zhen had finished nourishing her qi and blood at this point, she would have lost 30% of her chances, and could have even planned to stay in the Divine Origin realm for the rest of her life.
However, faced with such a difficult choice, Yuan Zhen said without hesitation, “It’s worth it.”
As he said that, Yuan Zhen’s withered and lean body quickly became plump as if it had been inflated with air, and his wrinkled skin, like an old tree in spring, became radiant and elastic.
The whole person instantly transformed from an old man with half a foot in a coffin to a middle-aged man in his prime, and his height all but stiffened by three inches.
“It is a pity that years of hard work have been ruined,” Shi Jue shook his head and sighed, “Gong Zi Yu, would you like to join hands with the poor monk and kill these two together.”
If Yuan Zhen was at full strength, Shi Jue would not dare to guarantee that he could defeat him. Even if Shi Jue had enough savings, he would not be able to defeat Yuan Zhen, who had not long advanced to the Divine Origin level.
As for Shi Jue’s proposal, Qing Yu thought for a moment and said, “Yes, but you are the one who killed them both.”
Although he had already made plans to offend the Tantric sect, it would still be quite refreshing to have someone willing to take the blame. Looking at the way Yuan Zhen was dying to protect Kong Hai, Kong Hai’s position in the Tantric Sect must not be small, at this time, it was better not to offend if you could.
“Good.” Shi Jue also agreed very dryly.
The Zen Sect and the Tantric Sect were already mortal enemies, so even if it meant killing two people, or even two hundred people, Khang Hai would dare to take the blame.
The two of them agreed, and Qing Yu’s body flashed and the “Six Illusions of the Phoenix Dance” was launched. In a flash, six shifting figures attacked Yuan Zhen, who was protecting Kong Hai.
At the same time, Shi Jue made his move, transforming his true qi into a glorious divine mountain. The divine mountain was made of gold, silver, gla*s and crystal, and was divided into thirty-three layers, which was none other than the Buddhist divine mountain Sumeru.
As soon as it appeared, the Sumeru Mountain transformed by Shi Jue’s true qi rapidly shrank and was accommodated into his palm, and with a thrust of his palm, the power of Sumeru poured down on Yuan Zhen.
“Vajra is incapable of winning.”
As both sides pinned down, Yuan Zhen made a lion’s roar, his voice, which had become normal, shouted angrily, his voice vibrating in all directions, his body glowing with a dazzling golden light, his angered form, his whole body filled with the intent of being indestructible.
“Hm?”
Qing Yu’s Taixu eyes saw through the golden light that Yuan Zhen’s reply to the white skin was now crystal clear, as if her whole body was made up of diamonds.
Under the cover of this diamond-like skin, the “Heavenly Son’s Lookout Technique”, which had not yet been perfected, could not observe Yuan Zhen’s weaknesses, and the mind, too, was hidden behind an invisible wall, not being captured by Qing Yu’s thoughts.
As his mind raced, Qingyu used the same move that had broken Shi Jue’s “Mustard Seed Sumeru Palm”, “Ten Thousand Paths Moro – Return to One.”
The martial arts he had learnt in his life were united by the “Ten Thousand Paths Moro”, which embraces all paths, and nearly 180 types of qi energy were evolved at the same time, from point to line, from line to surface, in a single palm.
After using the “Return to One” move for the first time and injuring himself, Qingyu found that while the “Return to One” move could break through the surface with a single finger, it was also more difficult to grasp and could easily cause the qi energy to go out of control.
So, after some experimentation, Qingyu decided to use his palm to carry the numerous qi energy. In this way, although the penetrating power was less than before, the difficulty was reduced and more types of qi could be used at the same time, making it more powerful.
The indestructible “Return to One” and the “Mustard Seed Sumeru Palm” that contains Sumeru in a mustard seed, both of which are unparalleled in their power, hit Yuan Zhen at the same time.
“This ——”
Qing Yu looked at the palm he had struck behind Yuan Zhen’s back with great surprise. One hundred and eighty types of chakra could not make an inch of progress in front of Yuan Zhen’s diamond body.
Seijue was also shocked, as Qing Yu’s “Returning One” had failed to achieve anything, and so had his “Mustard Seed Sumeru Palm”. Yuan Zhen, who had released his full strength, was far stronger than he had imagined, and his external power could be considered indestructible.
After the shock, they stepped back in perfect unison.
However, Yuan Zhen would not let them retreat and stepped forward, the ground crumbling beneath her palms.
After that, Yuan Zhen’s Great Hand Seal was raised again, this time landing on Shi Jue’s head.
Faced with Shi Jue, who had destroyed his years of “Kurenin meditation” and had no hope of reaching the True Dan realm, Yuan Zhen did not think about how to defeat the Zen Sect without a fight in the future, but only had the thought of killing this bad guy.
However, before his palm was raised to the highest level, Shi Jue was the first to strike, forming a very awkward seal with his hand.
Yuan Zhen’s “Vajra Impotent Victory” was at its peak, and his entire body was like a vajra’s body, indestructible, so he did not think of blocking it. In his mind, Qing Yu and Shi Jue did not have the ability to break through the Vajra Invincible Victory.
Therefore, although this seal was strange, Yuan Zhen accepted it openly and prepared to place a large hand seal on Shi Jue’s head, to beat the head of one of the culprits who had caused his future to be nearly cut off into his body. In this way, the hatred in one’s heart could be allayed.
‘No, my mind is not in the right state!’
Yuan Zhen suddenly had a great shock in his heart, his mind, at this moment, was filled with a bitter feeling, a feeling of despair at having his own future path cut off. This feeling of despair derived from an extreme killing intent and hatred towards Shi Jue.
Such a state of mind, even if Yuan Zhen’s state of mind is now out of whack, should not have appeared in him.
It is important to understand that Tantric Buddhism is about “becoming a Buddha in one’s own body”, and that the Buddha’s fruition is achieved through the rigorous practice of the “Three Secret Practices”. It is not as clear-cut as Zen Buddhism, but there are strong rules for the mind.
Yuan Zhen had been practising for many years and was already mentally tough, so this condition should not have happened to him.
