Chapter 31: Nirvana Jieyin

Clang!!

Before Zhunti and Jieyin had even arrived at Pangu Hall, the great doors swung open directly.

The little trick of shutting Zhunti out from the last time no longer held any meaning.

"Zhunti, were you not beaten enough just a moment ago?"

"You truly do not know how to fear death, daring to return!!"

"I just wonder, how many more Post-Heaven Supreme Treasures do you have left to blow up?"

Seeing Zhunti enter, he was accompanied by a monk with a bitter expression on his face.

Jieyin.

The other Saint of the Western Region.

If Zhunti liked to keep the phrase "Fellow Daoist, you have an affinity with my Western Region" on his lips.

Then Jieyin often chanted "Amitabha".

"Benefactor, the two Saints of the Western Region have arrived; I ask that you reconsider!!"

Jieyin spoke, light surging around his body.

Unlike Zhunti's Bodhi Light, Jieyin's was more akin to the Jieyin Divine Light.

"To achieve sainthood, you abandoned your origins and betrayed your ancestors; are you even fit to speak to my Wu Clan?"

In the Great Desolation, one's origin is paramount.

Especially Yuanshi among the Three Pure Ones, who held the Western Two Saints in particular contempt.

Zhunti was still better off, being the Innate Geng Metal from within the Western Dragon Vein.

He attained the Dao later beneath a Bodhi tree.

And what of Jieyin?

He was originally a lotus stamen of the Thirty-six Grade Chaos Green Lotus.

On the day Pangu opened the Heavens, when the Thirty-six Grade Chaos Green Lotus shattered, he absorbed a sliver of the lotus's spirituality, manifested in the Great Desolation as the Innate Spiritual Root Bitter Bamboo, and later took form.

In Zixiao Palace, he received the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus bestowed by Hongjun Old Ancestor; to perfect his foundation, Jieyin, under Zhunti's protection, separated from his original body, the Innate Bitter Bamboo, and merged his true spirit and Primordial Spirit into the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus to cultivate anew, while the remaining Innate Bitter Bamboo transformed into the Innate Spirit Treasure Six Pure Bamboo.

To thank Zhunti, he gave the Six Pure Bamboo to Zhunti.

Later, Jieyin realized that under the Heavenly Dao, the Twelve-Grade Lotus Throne could not take form.

Thus, he combined the Nirvana Law and the Heavenly Dao Oath merit, borrowing three merit golden lotus seeds to take form; the three merit golden lotus seeds became three bucket-sized Relics, and Jieyin could be considered to have taken form as a Relic.

And as for why Dijiang dared to scold Jieyin like this, it was because his vision was short-sighted.

It was one thing to discard the Innate Bitter Bamboo, but in the end, he even lost that last bit of Chaos Green Lotus spirituality.

Although he had now become a Saint, a bitter expression had remained on his face ever since.

"Hold your tongue! How can the origins of a Saint be something for the likes of you to discuss!!"

Upon hearing his senior brother insulted, Zhunti immediately bristled with rage.

In his beliefs, there were two things.

One was to revitalize the Western Region.

The second was his senior brother, Jieyin.

These two were his reverse scales; to touch them was to inevitably suffer his Saintly wrath.

"Zhunti, do you truly think Pangu Hall only has this little bit of capability??"

As Dijiang spoke, Pangu Hall seemed like a giant beast waking from a stupor.

A vast and ancient power permeated the area, and following it, the entire space transformed into a battlefield.

It was a vast, white expanse, appearing like space, yet not quite like space.

"Senior brother, be careful, this hall is somewhat strange!!"

Before coming, Zhunti had already recounted how the Twelve Ancestral Witches could summon the Pangu Phantom.

It was just that regarding Pangu Hall, although it was mysterious, Zhunti had not paid too much attention to it at the time.

After all, all his energy had been focused on the Pangu Phantom; how could he have had the energy to worry about this Pangu Hall?

"Kill!!"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches roared in unison.

They all lunged forward, as if water merging together.

After shattering countless air, the Pangu Phantom charged out from the dust.

"Senior brother, it's here!!"

Zhunti knew the power of the Pangu Phantom.

So when he saw the Twelve Ancestral Witches make their move, he did not hesitate in the slightest.

His eighteen-armed, twenty-four-headed Golden Body instantly enveloped his entire being, and those shattered Dharma treasures also re-condensed.

However, the most dazzling among them were only three.

They were the Seven-Treasured Wonderful Tree, the Blessing Divine Pestle, and the Six Pure Bamboo.

The Seven-Treasured Wonderful Tree was the object he attained the Dao with beneath the Bodhi tree, which he eventually refined into a treasure.

The Blessing Divine Pestle was obtained from Fenbaoyan and could also be considered a gift from Hongjun.

And the Six Pure Bamboo was originally Jieyin's own body, later gifted to Zhunti. With a Saint's full power, that vast golden light possessed an indestructible strength.

Bang!!! But with one axe strike from the Pangu Phantom, Zhunti's Golden Body retreated repeatedly.

Aside from the three great Innate Spirit Treasures, the other Dharma treasures simply could not hold up.

After a single blow, they had already developed numerous cracks.

"It has become stronger again... no, it is that this Pangu Hall is actually bolstering the Pangu Phantom!!"

Zhunti's expression was one of shock.

He had originally thought that by coming last time, he had already probed the true nature of the Pangu Phantom.

Now, with the addition of his senior brother Jieyin, there should have been no problem.

But once they began to exchange blows, he realized he had been too presumptuous.

"Junior brother, this hall can collect the power that the Great God Pangu scattered across the Great Desolate Land; he is currently borrowing that power!!"

Jieyin was indeed worthy of being transformed from a Jieyin relic.

He had researched the power of attraction quite thoroughly, so after a slight sensing, he roughly understood the capabilities of Pangu Hall.

"What?"

"Senior brother, you aren't joking, are you??"

Zhunti looked at Jieyin with a face full of shock.

If Pangu Hall could attract the power left behind by Pangu on the Great Desolate Land, wouldn't that make it a miniature version of Pangu?

"This is no laughing matter!!"

As Jieyin spoke, the bitter expression on his face became even more pronounced.

"Om, mani, padme, hum."

Startled by Jieyin's words, Zhunti had no choice but to use the Six-Syllable Mantra to suppress his own Dao heart.

"Nirvana Meditation Cushion!!"

The six Saint positions in front of Zixiao Palace actually represented six seats.

And the one allocated to Jieyin was the Nirvana Meditation Cushion; this cushion was similar to his Dao of Nirvana.

"Senior brother, be careful, the cushion cannot withstand this blow!!"

Zhunti had been thwarted, and Jieyin wanted to come and help.

But this move actually involved the cushion; having already suffered a loss from it, Zhunti hurriedly shouted for him to stop.

Jieyin paid no heed.

He was known as the leader of Mahayana Buddhism, yet he cultivated the Nirvana Buddhist Dharma.

The cushion bloomed with endless Buddhist light.

This was the Jieyin Light, also known as the Nirvana Buddhist Light.

Boom!!!

The phantom was temporarily blocked.

This scene left Zhunti dumbfounded.

He himself had used the Blissful Cushion to block it at the time, but it had no effect at all.

Yet now, Jieyin had succeeded.

In that case, Jieyin's Saint Realm was deeper than his own.

"As expected of the Law of Nirvana, its power is indeed very strong!!"

All Three Thousand Laws can lead to the Great Dao.

But among the Three Thousand Laws, there are also strengths and weaknesses.

Like this Law of Nirvana, it was a leader among them.

"Amitabha, benefactor, you have conceded!"

Jieyin revealed his bitter expression.

Immediately, he flicked his finger, and a single Prayer Bead shot straight toward the chest of the Pangu Phantom.

"Opening the Heavens!!"

The Pangu Phantom raised the phantom axe in its hand and slashed down at the Prayer Bead.

"Senior brother!!"

The Nirvana Prayer Bead was one of Jieyin's protective Dharma treasures; seeing it about to be shattered by the Opening the Heavens axe,

Zhunti was greatly alarmed.

"Junior brother, attack with all your might!!"

Seeing this, Jieyin felt no fear.

Sss. The phantom axe slashed onto the Prayer Bead, splashing out countless sparks of Law.

Among them, a flag appeared within the Prayer Bead.

Eastern Azure Lotus Flag!!! (End of this chapter)
