Chapter 337: This world

Sima family, carriage pavilion.

The Demon Master Xu Jiangxian watches the glazed dharma world supported by the old monk not far away.

The few people are like sleeping, emitting Zen intent.

"Ten-Story Glazed Reincarnation Pagoda!"

"The holy relic of the Eastern Saint Buddha Sect."

Holy relics are objects used by great sects to suppress luck; Buddhism has the "Demon-Subduing Pestle" and the "Ten-Story Glazed Reincarnation Pagoda."

Confucianism has the "Ruler."

The Three-True Sect has the "Three-True Ten-Thousand Talisman Sword," "Heavenly Master Seal," "Dragon-Tiger Bone Boat," and "Ancestor Golden Register."

The Three-True Sect possesses the most holy relics, each with a different origin.

"Old monk, you are truly willing to spend the capital; using this holy relic once, I don't know how many decades of incense wishes it will take to collect."

Xu Jiangxian smiles slightly, "Then this seat cannot be stingy either."

The Demon Sect also has a "holy relic," which is a piece of left hand bone, also known as the "Heavenly Demon Hand."

It is said to be left behind by the ascended ancestor Huang Dao.

In the Demon Sect, strength is respected, morality is secondary; to obtain this hand bone, the Demon Master of that year did not hesitate to slaughter the four branches of the Demon Sect, his methods so ruthless that even the Demon Sect was terrified.

Xu Jiangxian had long refined it into his left hand.

He raises his left hand, the finger bones distinct, crystal clear light flowing on them.

It does not look like a Demon Sect supreme treasure, but rather like a Buddhist object.

This demon hand is densely engraved with small characters, including the complete record of the "Heavenly Demon Strategy," and a style of "Heavenly Demon Dharma Body."

Besides this, this hand bone has another function, capable of condensing a drop of "Heavenly Demon Blood" every year.

It has the ability to strengthen tendons and bones, wash marrow and cut veins for mortal bodies, can strengthen tendons and bones, increase Qi and strength, and can also catalyze demon bones, different from ordinary people.

It enhances Primordial Spirit power and can even help people light the divine fire.

It is a rare treasure!

However, the exact origin of this hand bone is an unsolved mystery.

In the Demon Sect, there are many legends about this hand bone, but most people attribute it to that ascended ancestor Huang Dao.

Xu Jiangxian spreads his palm, and a vermilion "Heavenly Demon Blood" appears.

He looks at Zhu Ziqian, who is currently wrapped in demon Qi, his face fanatical.

Zhu Ziqian is currently comprehending a style of "Heaven and Earth Mourning" in the Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Demon Art.

Xu Jiangxian taps lightly, and the demon blood merges into Zhu Ziqian's forehead like a stream of light.

Zhu Ziqian's face changes suddenly, then he senses it carefully, joy gradually appearing on his face.

His entire aura climbs step by step, his original perfect cultivation of the Fifth Realm of martial arts "Spring Thunder" breaking through to the Sixth Realm "Winding Finger."

He lets out a "long whistle."

His Seventh Realm Primordial Spirit "God Wandering" cultivation realm is even more stable.

Only one step away from breaking through the Seventh Realm and lighting the divine fire.

Zhu Ziqian is fervent in his heart; not only did he gain the Demon Master's regard, but he also obtained a style of "Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art."

Now he has received this gift.

Those opponents he once feared, like Xue Bai and his ilk, are now only at the Sixth Realm of martial arts; he no longer puts them in his eyes.

A pure Demon Sect internal force helps him disperse the demon blood, helping it distribute throughout his limbs and bones.

He hurriedly bows respectfully to Xu Jiangxian:

"Subordinate thanks the Demon Master for the cultivation."

Xu Jiangxian nods slowly, his gaze growing a bit colder.

"If you lose, you know the consequences."

Zhu Ziqian tightens in his heart, hurriedly refining the trace of demon blood in his body, not daring to be negligent.

He knows the methods of this Demon Master.

Xu Jiangxian is also not in a hurry, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the glazed dharma world opposite.

Coming to Bianjing this time, besides repaying kindness, he was invited.

This Demon Master who has roamed the world for many years is most concerned about the Master who went to the East Sea to seek immortals!

What is the Master planning behind the scenes?

Years ago, the Master failed to raise the dragon, leaving behind Ze Lake where demons caused chaos.

Without the Master's permission, how could the Great Sui rise, how could the northern Eternal Heaven exist, how could the southern Buddhist Kingdom exist?

Years ago, the Master took away the Demon Sect's "Heavenly Demon Strategy" and also saw what the Huang Dao ancestor left behind.

"Spiritual Qi returns, the gate of ascension."

The "Unification of the World, the opportunity for ascension" left behind by the Three-True Sect's ancestor.

However!

The unification of the Tang Dynasty did not bring the opening of the gate of ascension, which filled the Master's heart with doubt and unwillingness.

Thus!

The Master established the Great Qi again, overthrowing the Tang Dynasty.

Xu Jiangxian has deep wariness for this Master, saying in a low voice:

"If a person lives too long, they will become unimaginably terrifying."

People only think this Master has lived for seven hundred years, but they do not know that the first Master of the Great Qi and the current Master are the same person.

The Master might have existed since the Yan Dynasty, just with different identities.

He has tried almost all methods of ascension, yet cannot transcend.

Like a ghost drifting on this land.

Now, the catastrophe that happens once every three thousand years has quietly begun, signaling an unprecedented change.

Xu Jiangxian knows deeply that this invincible Master will never easily give up the opportunity for ascension, nor will he go to the illusory East Sea!

He is likely lurking in the dark, planning slowly, looking for that line of opportunity for transcendence.

Xu Jiangxian collects his thoughts.

A deep demon Qi spreads from Zhu Ziqian, his upper body bare.

The ribs on his chest protrude like bone spurs, like sharp swords.

Zhu Ziqian's smile is fanatical.

His aura finally settles at the perfect realm of the Sixth Realm of martial arts "Winding Finger," only one step away from ascending to the upper three realms of martial arts.

Shen Kuan cannot help but retreat a distance; his soul-nurturing banner is extremely sensitive to the resentment of souls, and the demon Qi emanating from Zhu Ziqian makes him feel a palpitation.

This Academy student definitely has a lot of blood on his hands.

The lame old man looks at this scene, secretly pondering, Xie Guan's dead end is set.

Even without using Buddhist techniques, I fear he is hard to match against this Blood God Sect Holy Son who received the Demon Master's favor.

Among the same generation in Bianjing, few can compare to him.

Not to mention a Xie family concubine-born son.

He just wants to know how to escape from the Demon Master's hands.

Xu Jiangxian nods slightly; Zhu Ziqian's cultivation at his age is not bad.

With the help of demon blood, demon bones grew on his body, and his strength advanced further.

【You form a seal unconsciously with your hands.】

【"Dharma Realm Stillness Seal!"】

【The old monk sighs lightly; there is definitely no such Buddhist treasure seal in this Ten-Story Glazed Reincarnation Pagoda.】

【He only saw it in Buddhist scriptures, a treasure seal that the Buddha Shakyamuni could display.】

【Yet it slowly reappears in the hands of a young man.】

【Holding this seal, it is said that one can seal a world and still all things.】

【The style of "Jin Gang Zen Tathagata Jade Hand" that the old monk was going to teach the young man was simplified from this "Dharma Realm Stillness Seal."】

【Although the crowd does not understand the seal technique in Xie Guan's hands, they see the old monk's shock.】

【Several people suspect whether Xie Guan climbed to the ninth or tenth floor and obtained Buddhist treasure techniques.】

【Lianchi has cultivated Buddhism for a hundred years, diligently observing precepts, always accompanied by a green lamp, yet he has no such opportunity!】

【Unexpectedly, the young man just read Buddhist scriptures roughly and actually has such creation.】

【Lianchi's heart is fluctuating, fortunately he has cultivation, and only then slowly calms down.】

【At this time!】

【The Buddhist seal in your hand changes again!】

【Both hands slowly grasp the thumbs in the palms, the left index finger straight, the right fist holding the left index finger in front of the chest.】

【Immeasurable light seems to pass through the hands, as if the ultimate truth of heaven and earth is flowing in the hands.】

【Crystal-like Buddha light blooms on the fingers, and the slender fingers pass through the void.】

【The aura that sealed all things disappears, replaced by emptiness, purifying all things, and the meaning of free transcendence.】

【"This is..."】

【A flush of color rises on the old monk's face, his face full of disbelief.】

【"Jin Gang Realm Freedom Seal."】

【This is the hand seal of the Jin Gang Realm Great Sun Tathagata; the Great Sun Tathagata is the most important deity in Esoteric Buddhism.】

【This is also one of the three great hand seals of Buddhism; holding this hand seal, one can be free from the suffering of the human world, the eight sufferings, and the eight difficulties, and be free and transcendent.】

【This is also an ancient record in Buddhist scriptures, yet no one has ever learned this hand seal.】

【It only exists in classic legends.】

【Lianchi has an absurd feeling, as if the Buddha of Buddhism has descended to the world.】

【Could this Xie Guan be the reincarnation of the Buddha Master?】

【Your hands seem to move!】

【"Still coming...!"】

【The five-colored glazed world supported by Lianchi is about to be unable to maintain itself; he has already seen two supreme Buddhist seals, and if Xie Guan pinches out another hand, wouldn't the three hand seals be gathered, going directly to the Western Heaven!】

【He almost couldn't hold on in his heart; the Buddhist thoughts he had cultivated for a hundred years were about to collapse.】

【Fortunately!】

【After you gesture with both hands to no avail, you slowly put them down.】

【Lianchi exhales a breath; if you were to ascend on the spot here to see the Tathagata of the Western Paradise, he would likely vomit blood on the spot.】

【You slowly open your eyes; the supreme intent that appeared suddenly just now was light, empty, and clear, allowing you to understand by analogy, as if you were supreme and wise, driving above all things.】

【At this time, it has all dissipated, leaving no memory.】

【Only two Buddhist hand seals remain in your heart.】

【"Dharma Realm Stillness Seal!"】

【"Jin Gang Realm Freedom Seal."】

【The Dharma Realm Stillness Seal has the ability to contain all things.】

【The Jin Gang Realm Freedom Seal has the ability to purify all things and be free and transcendent.】

【In your heart sea, besides the two characters "Hong" and "Yuan."】

【There are two more Buddhist palm swastika patterns, symbolizing the two Buddhist seals.】

【Just as you are slowly recalling, a weathered and compassionate voice comes.】

【"Little friend Xie Guan, how do you feel now?"】

【Only then do you come to your senses, slowly standing up, and cannot help but perform a Buddhist salute with both hands.】

【The old monk's face is full of smiles.】

【You bow deeply, your tone full of gratitude, "Thank you, Master Lianchi, for pointing out the maze, allowing me the fortune to comprehend these two Buddhist hand seals."】

【"This is your own opportunity, little friend, and has nothing to do with this old monk."】

【The old monk looks at you deeply and says: "At this time, there is still some time before an hour, I will teach you another style of 'Jin Gang Zen Tathagata Jade Hand'."】

【"This is the way of Qi weapons, using the Primordial Spirit power in the Niwan Palace and the martial arts Primordial Qi and blood to condense weapons outside the body, or various blades, spears, swords, and halberds."】

【"Buddhism forbids blades and weapons, so there are only fist, foot, and palm seals."】

【The old monk does not hide it either, practicing it slowly in the field; the three guards hurriedly focus, and Xu Xiyue also pays attention.】

【Only Sima Muqing has empty eyes.】

【The old monk presses his hands together, and the method of Qi movement is also taught, actually requiring a method of combining Primordial Spirit and martial arts.】

【The three guards are greatly disappointed, as they only cultivate martial arts or Primordial Spirit.】

【The most top-notch profound techniques in the world are all dual cultivation of Primordial Spirit and martial arts.】

【It is not simple cultivation!】

【Xu Xiyue's eyes light up; she is already proficient in demon arts, and actually finds a similar effect here.】

【She has already slowly formed a Buddhist palm in her hand, but it is pitch black, with bursts of demon Qi, only obtaining the shape.】

【Master Lianchi's "Jin Gang Zen Tathagata Jade Hand" is the most rigid in the world, the most fierce and domineering.】

【The old monk explains all the wonders, saying: "This style is called, Buddha Hand Startling Waves."】

【"Striking it out can increase power by eight times even for martial artists in the middle three realms; if used to protect oneself, it is difficult to break even with ten times the power."】

【Everyone is surprised; it can actually increase power by eight times; if it were a martial artist of the same realm, wouldn't it be directly crushing with force.】

【Protecting oneself also exceeds ten times the power.】

【This is a world-class Grandmaster!】

【Lianchi says: "This style looks simple, but is actually difficult; it requires the Primordial Spirit and Primordial Qi to combine to produce a vortex, also called spirit-flesh unity; it is difficult to bear in the body, and it must circulate more than ten times in the body, without the slightest mistake... it cannot be achieved overnight."】

【The old monk sees the young man, closing his eyes slightly, seemingly thinking, the star patterns between his brows outlined, the Qi in his Dantian becoming thick.】

【Seeming to be trying!】

【"Remember, the path of cultivation, avoid being eager for quick success." The old monk's voice rings in your ear, carrying a bit of warning and reminder.】

【"Only by being steady and solid can one truly..."】

【You complete the Qi movement, pinching the Buddhist "Jin Gang Realm Freedom Seal" in your hand; this seal has the ability to purify, and the original Daoist profound art is transformed into a Buddhist method.】

【"Dong—"】

【A golden glazed Buddha hand appears out of thin air in the old monk's eyes, waving lightly.】

【Lianchi presses his hands together, also shaking lightly, "Actually..."】

【The Tathagata Buddha Hand he painstakingly created, the young man learned it after hearing it once.】

【The three guards are also dumbfounded, looking at the glazed Buddha hand that the young man uses like an arm.】

【Xu Xiyue is even more shocked in her heart; she has a high realm and naturally knows the depth of it.】

【She also has a bit more certainty of Xie Guan's victory in her heart.】

【Xie Guan has already mastered this "Startling Waves Buddha Hand."】

【You ask: "Master Lianchi, does this count as learned?"】

【The old monk chants, "Namo Amitabha."】

【At this time!】

【Xu Jiangxian walks over with Zhu Ziqian and the lame old man.】

【The old monk just moves his intention, and the five-colored glazed dharma world covering three zhang disappears.】

【Lianchi says lightly: "Little friend Xie Guan, do your best."】

【He has already made up his mind to protect Xie Guan no matter what.】

【Xu Xiyue bows: "I entrust this matter to you, Young Master!"】

【The three guards also hurriedly say: "We entrust this to you, Young Master."】

【Sima Muqing finally comes to her senses, looking at the handsome young man under the moonlight in the field; this battle concerns the lives of her and her mother.】

【Xu Jiangxian smiles: "Master Lianchi, can we start now?"】

【The old monk nods lightly.】

【Under the clear moonlight, the mottled bamboo shadows cast by the bamboo forest.】

【The two groups of people automatically leave an open space.】

【Zhu Ziqian steps out proudly, his eyes cold.】

【"Xie Guan, later I will pluck off your head."】

【A breeze blows, causing the bamboo forest to rustle.】

【You say calmly:】

【"It is getting late, I still have to go to the Flower Banquet, let's end it early."】
