Chapter 1516: One Heart Toward the Buddha

One heart toward the Buddha—can that lead me to my opportunity?

What kind of opportunity?

Ye Liuyun racked his brain in vain, yet unknowingly stepped into the Grand Hall.

But just as he stepped into the Grand Hall, he instantly steadied his mind.

There is an extremely strong evil aura here.

"Foreign Tribe!"

Ye Liuyun immediately drew the Demon Slaying Sword, becoming alert.

At that moment, a Foreign Tribe emerged from behind a stone pillar, eyeing Ye Liuyun like a tiger.

"Damn Foreign Tribe, why are they everywhere!"

Ye Liuyun thought of this and began to worry about Aya in his heart.

But at this moment there was no time for him to speak further; the Foreign Tribe had already launched an attack on him.

Fortunately the Foreign Tribe's cultivation level was only equal to Ye Liuyun's, and Yi Dao instantly ended it.

"That monk is strange!"

Ye Liuyun thought of this and immediately wanted to leave the Grand Hall to find that monk for clarification, to see whether he was indeed linked to the Foreign Tribe.

However, when he turned around, he found an endless darkness behind him.

Just a moment ago he had entered through the Grand Hall's entrance, yet now there was nothing behind him.

At that moment, a Foreign Tribe whose realm was one level higher than his again emerged from behind a stone pillar and launched a surprise attack on him.

Ye Liuyun had no time to think and immediately swung his blade at the enemy.

After eliminating that Foreign Tribe, he checked the Ten Thousand Gods Command in the Sea of Consciousness, but saw it still showed no response.

The Ten Thousand Gods Command broken?

He was filled with doubt.

The darkness behind him was clearly an Illusion Realm, yet the Ten Thousand Gods Command still gave no reaction!

But inside the Grand Hall, Foreign Tribes kept appearing, forcing him to keep fighting.

Without the Ten Thousand Gods Command's aid, Ye Liuyun had no choice but to meet the fight.

Each successive Foreign Tribe appeared at a realm one level higher than the previous.

For safety, Ye Liuyun released a clone.

But shortly after, two Foreign Tribes appeared, their realms one level higher than before.

How many Foreign Tribes are actually here?

Ye Liuyun was startled, coordinated with his clone, fighting while moving around to the back of the pillar.

However, behind the pillar there was nothing.

After they killed those two Foreign Tribes, another even higher-level Foreign Tribe emerged from a different stone pillar.

"These Foreign Tribes aren't real! Could these all be Illusion Realm?"

Ye Liuyun thought of this, and when the Foreign Tribe attacked again, he closed his eyes, telling himself it was all an illusion.

However, he was blasted away by the Foreign Tribe!

Fortunately his Physical Body was sturdy, and he sustained no serious injury.

But he could feel that the attack was real!

So he immediately reopened his eyes, began to counterattack, and together with his clone, eliminated those two Foreign Tribes.

"We must break the entire Illusion Realm to stop these Foreign Tribes from reappearing."

Ye Liuyun also realized and devised a plan.

"But where is the core of this Illusion Realm's array?"

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Pupil to inspect, but found that here his Golden Pupil could not penetrate the darkness!

He could only see the situation inside the Grand Hall.

At this moment, two more Foreign Tribes charged at them.

The Foreign Tribes' realms kept rising, becoming increasingly hard to deal with.

Especially the clone, lacking the Demon Slaying Sword, its attack power was considerably weaker.

After Ye Liuyun killed the Foreign Tribe that was fighting him, he looked at his clone and suddenly recalled the monk's words.

"One heart toward the Buddha?"

Thinking of this, he urged his clone to use Buddha Light Power.

The clone instantly transformed Demon Qi into Buddha Light Power; with a single Yi Dao, it cleaved the Foreign Tribe dead, appearing even easier than Ye Liuyun wielding the Demon Slaying Sword.

"So that's it!"

Ye Liuyun saw that Buddha Light Power worked better here, and immediately, together with his clone, wielded Buddha Light Power, continuously slaying the appearing Foreign Tribes.

At the same time, the two of them ventured into the darkness.

The surrounding darkness was like tangible Demon Qi, impossible to disperse.

Ye Liuyun and his clone used Buddha Light Power again, and indeed they walked out of the Grand Hall together.

Strangely, after they left the Grand Hall, the Illusion Realm did not vanish; instead, from within the Grand Hall, more and more Foreign Tribes emerged, each with varying realms.

"Is it that leaving the Grand Hall triggers such changes?"

The clone wondered.

Some Illusion Arrays work like that; once you take a wrong step, the array changes.

Ye Liuyun and his clone kept fighting until they reached the spot where the monk had been, but now there was not even a single silhouette.

"Then let's fight our way back and try!"

So Ye Liuyun and his duplicate fought their way back into the Grand Hall.

But the result did not change.

Behind each stone pillar, new Foreign Tribes kept emerging, charging at them.

Ye Liuyun and his duplicate could not withstand so many attacks, fighting while retreating, and withdrew from the Grand Hall again.

The two were chased by the Foreign Tribes, dodging everywhere, and could only slip into a narrow alley, using the cramped passage to avoid the Tribes' encirclement.

Ye Liuyun also noticed in battle that those Foreign Tribes would not rush into rooms, nor jump onto the roof to besiege them.

He let his duplicate enter a room to test.

Sure enough, once the duplicate entered the room, the Foreign Tribes stopped pursuing and instead all charged at Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also rushed at full strength into the room the duplicate had entered.

Similarly, those Foreign Tribes did not charge.

Instead they gathered at the doorway, silently waiting for them to emerge.

"We are trapped here.

But we must not stay, or we will end up like those Martial Cultivators we saw before, eventually turning into a handful of dust."

Ye Liuyun said to his duplicate.

"What does 'devoted to Buddha' mean?

We just used Buddha Light Power; it worked well, showing we did the right thing.

Now we need to see if there's anything we can improve!"

The duplicate also helped analyze, saying.

The two were of one mind, yet they were accustomed to voicing their thoughts to communicate.

"If we keep fighting like this, our Buddha Light Power will eventually run out!"

Ye Liuyun said.

The duplicate continued, "After it's exhausted, we'll have to retreat to cultivate and recover.

Could it be that once we enter the cultivation state, we'll never wake up again?"

"That's possible!"

Ye Liuyun guessed, "Even if we don't fail to wake from cultivation, our Buddha Light Power still can't handle so many Foreign Tribes! We'd have to keep entering rooms to cultivate and improve, eventually forming a habit of cultivating here until we turn into a pile of dust!"

Their analyses yielded the same result.

That is, given the current situation, the two need to cultivate here.

No matter how they choose, the consequences are all extremely dangerous.

"What if we change our approach?"

Ye Liuyun suddenly thought, "We only used Buddha Light Power; we are not devoted to Buddha!"

"Do we have to practice the Buddha Path?"

The duplicate also didn't quite understand the monk's words.
