Chapter 662

The doubts in Li Li Ximing's heart did not arise from nothing. At first, he did not know the power of the Volatile Casket and had suppressed this person with the "Jinyang Huangyuan Pass." Now that the Volatile Casket had escaped and he knew that it was a Compassionate Dharma Body, this suspicion grew even stronger. "Although my 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' is a powerful suppression, it has both advantages and disadvantages. Since he possesses a Compassionate Dharma Body, wouldn't it be wonderful for him to smash my Bright Pass with a single punch?"

A Compassionate Dharma Body is not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator can compare to. If this punch landed solidly on his Immortal Foundation body, even if Li Li Ximing did not die immediately, he would at least vomit blood, lose seventy percent of his strength, and have no power left to fight.

"Moreover, he is filled with hatred for me, and my predecessors killed the 【Four Demon Emperors of Angry Glare】 he held so dear. This path of subduing demons is fierce; how could he have any goodwill?"

"Even if he does not intend to kill, deterred by the Early Zifu of Jiangnan from starting a slaughter, if he just knocks me aside with one punch, wouldn't he then be in control of everything, fleeing back and forth? That is not the way of Eyed Lianmin!"

The series of battles just now happened in the blink of an eye, and few had the keen thinking of Li Li Xijun. But Li Li Ximing had gained a moment to breathe, and as he thought this through, the suspicion in his heart became a certainty.

Since Li Li Ximing had said so, Master Kongheng nodded in agreement: "No matter, I will test him again."

He pressed his palms together in front of his chest, his incantations never ceasing. Five-colored brilliant light surged from his palms, and colorful rain fell once again from the sky, while lotus flowers bloomed in the lake, their fragrance overflowing.

"To think you are still putting up a desperate struggle!"

Volatile Casket saw this in his eyes and shouted, secretly delighted. He simply turned the tiger back into clothing and draped it over himself, letting the colorful rain fall upon him, rippling with layers of five-colored brilliance on his gold-lacquered skin.

'To think it is another orthodox binding technique; his background is truly extraordinary!'

The binding force was thick, but Volatile Casket did not dodge or evade. After all, he, Volatile Casket, also came from a famous sect. His shouted commands had little effect on Master Kongheng, and Master Kongheng's spells likewise had limited influence on him.

Not to mention that he himself was a Compassionate Dharma Body!

Seeing Volatile Casket let the colorful light bind him while still looking at him, Master Kongheng had golden ropes flying around him. The six-armed Jin Gang released its grip, its six arms joined in front of its chest to support him, while the five-colored brilliant light from its hands did not stop, solemn and dignified.

The lake was filled with colorful light. Li Li Ximing did not look at Master Kongheng but stared fixedly at Volatile Casket. The old monk remained motionless in the colorful rain. Li Li Ximing condensed heavenly light in his hands and thought to himself, "The old bald donkey seems to have hardly used any spells at all! He is relying solely on this Dharma Body."

Seeing that Volatile Casket still did not move, he formed seals with both hands and shouted:

"【Five Waters Controlling the Zhong Qian】!"

As this shout fell, the great array of Mount Mount Qingdu suddenly operated. Countless gray mists surged on the water, blocking the sky and sun, and countless water vipers jumped out from within, agile and cunning. They held high various magic treasures condensed from lake water and threw themselves at the monk without fear of death.

This was precisely the 【Five Waters Controlling the Zhong Qian Array】 on Mount Mount Qingdu! Once this Foundation Establishment-level array was activated, it was quite intimidating, but Volatile Casket did not even spare it a second glance, raising his eyebrows and saying, "Mosquito-like methods!"

Sure enough, although the gray mist rolled in, it caused no impact at all. The water vipers within had nowhere to hide under the brilliance shining from his body, and before they could even get close to his side, they were blown into white mist by the flickering light and shadows created on the gold lacquer.

This array was Liu Liu Zhangdie's masterpiece. 【Morning Haze】 and 【Viper Flow】 were originally aimed at Qi Refining, so they were naturally of no use at all against this Compassionate Dharma Body. Li Li Ximing was not discouraged in the slightest, watching coldly as the magic formula in his hands suddenly changed.

"【Not Floating】!"

He tapped two fingers together, and as soon as this magic formula was released, a piece of white brilliance rippled beneath his feet. Master Kongheng and Li Li Ximing were unaffected, but Volatile Casket paused slightly, his expression darkening as he narrowed his eyes.

"Hit!"

Almost at the same time, the white bricks of the Bright Pass were piled up, the corner towers were all bright, and the Heavenly Gate shone with dazzling light, crashing down from the sky with a bang. The blinding brilliance caused the surrounding cultivators to close their eyes and cover their faces with their sleeves.

"Dharma Master Master Kongheng!"

Volatile Casket only paused for this moment, and Li Li Ximing did not hesitate for an instant. Seeing this, the 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' was immediately activated with full force. Heavenly light reappeared in his eyes, and he shook his sleeve, flying out a small flag.

This small flag was only the size of a palm, presenting a reddish-yellow color with golden patterns. A vivid red sparrow was painted on it, with five layers of red light overlapping around its body, its beak wide open as if it were about to spew flames.

The magic treasure of the Dongli Sect—【Yangli Red Sparrow Flag】! This magic treasure showed its ferocity for the first time. Five rays of red light flew out from it, each the size of a palm, all glowing red, surrounding the patterned door feet of the Jinyang Huangyuan Pass, simultaneously surging and spewing five types of flames.

"Heavenly Style Crisscross, Yangli Punishment Fire!"

These five types of flames appeared in brown-yellow, light yellow, goose yellow, bright red, and vermilion colors respectively, pressing down aggressively. The firelight soared into the sky, and immediately, fire clouds of various colors condensed over the lake.

The clouds were either red or yellow, the red light brilliant, and the spiritual energy gathered. The rosy light in Master Kongheng's hands did not stop, continuing to bind this person, while the six-armed Jin Gang behind him reached out simultaneously, but did not release the previous golden ropes.

"The magic treasure of the Dongli Sect is here, the Li fire is raging; I fear that if my golden ropes go deep into it, they will surely be roasted and melted over time!"

His thoughts were agile, and his six arms descended together, suppressing the Bright Pass.

"Boom!"

The flames were raging, but Li Li Ximing could sense that the expression of Volatile Casket under the Bright Pass was becoming increasingly ugly. The young man sneered and gritted his teeth: "Sure enough! I knew you had a problem!"

Since Volatile Casket made his move in front of Mount Mount Qingdu, not only had he not used any spells, but even turning the horned tiger into a tiger relied on magic treasures to escape. He clearly had the strength to subdue both of them with two punches, yet he dragged things out, refusing to move unless absolutely necessary.

Although Li Li Ximing did not understand Buddhist Dharma, he had sought the Early Zifu Dao for many years and had considerable attainments in spells and cultivation methods, so he had long been suspicious.

And the most precious and special thing about his own 【Five Waters Controlling the Zhong Qian Array】 was this 【Not Floating】 technique, which was constructed from the Weak Water material brought by Yang Yang Xiaoer, and was extremely precious: "And this 【Not Floating】 technique is precious precisely because it is best at consuming others' magic power and affecting their wind-riding!"

"The problem lies in the magic power!"

Combining Volatile Casket's previous actions, Li Li Ximing reacted almost immediately:

"This person's cultivation has already fallen to that of a Dharma Master. Although he has a Compassionate body, he has lost all his miraculous powers! With the Zhao-Buddhist collective cultivation, he has nothing of his own. Nine times out of ten, even his magic power has been greatly affected, and without supernatural powers, how difficult it must be to drive this Compassionate body!"

Such existences were not unfamiliar. Back in the day, when Li Li Xuanfeng borrowed the position of the Shen-You Metal to wield gold, he had used up two Immortal Foundations in his body as fuel, and only then did he have the strength to fight! How could Volatile Casket be any better?!

When Li Li Ximing said this, Master Kongheng reacted immediately: "I underestimated the impact of the fall of the 【Four Demon Emperors of Angry Glare】 on them!"

"This is still a Dharma Body that Volatile Casket cultivated himself! He fell from the position of Eyed Lianmin, so he is experienced and has deep cultivation. If it weren't for this, he would probably have been unable to move long ago!"

Master Kongheng was not stupid, but he was constrained by rules and usually could not speculate on others with a deluded mind. Now that he had figured it out, he was suddenly enlightened:

"He stepped on withered wood as a boat earlier; was it just for asceticism? I fear not! How heavy is a Compassionate body? He was afraid that his magic power would be insufficient, so he refused to fly and stepped on the withered wood instead. At least he had something to rely on, which could save a lot of magic power!"

Master Kongheng was pure in heart, and even at this moment, he refused to guess that Volatile Casket had been deceiving him from beginning to end, only regarding him as "not just for asceticism."

But with this speculation, the two immediately understood that Volatile Casket was dawdling, using both escape techniques and turning his robes into a tiger; I fear a large part of it was just bluffing, and their hearts were greatly relieved.

"Boom!"

Volatile Casket stretched his waist with all his might and struggled to get up, emitting a violent roar. The Bright Pass shook unsteadily. Li Li Ximing was not polite at all, seizing the weak point, activating the 【Five Waters Controlling the Zhong Qian】 array with full force, and taking a small bottle from his bosom.

"【Mysterious Pattern Bottle】!"

Heavenly light spewed from the 【Mysterious Pattern Bottle】, superimposing on the 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass.' If it weren't for the fact that 【Returning Yang】 was a defensive magic treasure, Li Li Ximing would have loved to throw the white disc on it as well.

"It's a pity that the 【Chongming Dongxuan Screen】 is in Zhou Wei's hands, otherwise I would have a bit more certainty."

At this moment, the Jinyang Huangyuan Pass was pressing down like a mountain, gradually stabilizing. With five types of Li fire burning, Li Li Ximing's magic power plummeted. Volatile Casket was gradually unable to shake it, and he understood in his heart that his shortcoming of insufficient magic power and the difficulty of driving the Dharma Body had been seen through.

The old monk sighed and shook his head, saying: "In terms of trickery, this old man is not even one ten-thousandth as good as you people of the Purple Gold Demonic Dao. I originally wanted to keep people from knowing, but I am not used to faking things, and sure enough, you recognized it."

Li Li Ximing ignored this old bald donkey, only taking elixirs and exerting his full strength, turning all his magic power into heavenly light and injecting it into the Bright Pass.

Volatile Casket, facing the raging Li fire, used his old trick again. He pinched his five fingers into a lotus shape, puffed out his cheeks, and spat out a puff of pink mist.

Master Kongheng had been watching him, so how could he let him escape again? He suddenly shouted, spitting out several rays of golden light like a comet, drilling under the Jinyang Huangyuan Pass. He tightened his hands, scattered the brilliant light in the sky, and made a fierce grabbing motion.

Only two crisp sounds of "Clang, Clang" were heard, and two points of golden light hit in front of Volatile Casket, like a wind sweeping away clouds, dissolving the pink mist cleanly.

Volatile Casket formed seals with both hands, his expression unchanged, but he no longer chanted incantations.

If the 【Four Demon Emperors of Angry Glare】 had not fallen, let alone supernatural powers, in terms of spellcasting alone, a hundred Kong Hengs tied together would not be enough to withstand one of his magic formulas. Now, Volatile Casket had to admit that he was powerless.

The 【Four Demon Emperors of Angry Glare】 had fallen, and the Angry path had suffered heavy losses. Small temples were not orthodox and had many dependencies on spells. For his great sect and temple, powerful spells had always been linked to Maha, so they were all rendered useless.

Volatile Casket was not unable to cast a single spell, and could even drive the Dharma Body to smash the Bright Pass with one punch, but his magic power was already struggling to operate. If he cast spells easily again, I fear it would not be enough to return to the North with Master Kongheng and the other...

"Not to mention that the Abbot calculated that I cannot kill this Li Li Ximing... and it is even best not to hurt him!"

This situation seemed difficult, but the old monk did not care, sitting cross-legged right in the raging Li fire, forming seals at his dantian with both hands, without saying a word.

"But why do I need to cast spells?"

He sat quietly in the Li fire and the Bright Pass, letting the five-colored Li fire burn and the heavenly light temper him. All the brilliance of his magic power was restrained, sitting in the fire like a golden statue, motionless.

He had made his response, and Li Li Ximing paused, suddenly realizing: "What a cunning old bald donkey!"

The two saw through Volatile Casket's confidence, knowing that not only was it difficult for him to cast spells, but he also lacked the magic power to overturn this Bright Pass, and was just bluffing, so they were relieved to suppress him.

Volatile Casket, however, followed the plan and sat down peacefully.

Nothing else, Volatile Casket was a Compassionate Dharma Body. Whether it was Li fire or heavenly light, no matter how powerful and miraculous these things were, they were not even worth a hair in front of the Dharma Body itself. Volatile Casket did not need to overturn it at all, only needing to reveal his true body.

And Li Li Ximing's magic power was not inexhaustible. If this continued, it would instead be wasting Li Li Ximing's magic power, and there would always be a moment of exhaustion.

The lake suddenly quieted down. Li Li Ximing frowned, gradually weakening the firepower of the 【Yangli Red Sparrow Flag】 until the Bright Pass shook slightly, and then stopped, suppressing it silently.

Li Li Ximing said in a low voice:

"Dharma Master... is there any solution?"

Master Kongheng also saw the situation clearly, sighed softly, and replied: "At least now I can talk to him on equal terms. Let me persuade him."

He followed the lake surface, passed through the steaming white mist and the intense Li fire and heavenly light, and arrived in front of the 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass.'

Li Li Ximing was terrified, hurriedly calling him to stop, and said in a deep voice: "Dharma Master, be careful! The Li fire and the bright light have no eyes! Your precious body cannot be in the same place as this guy!"

It was already terrifying under the Jinyang Huangyuan Pass. Volatile Casket was a Compassionate Dharma Body, so naturally he was not afraid, but ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could not hold on for more than a moment! Master Kongheng looked at him from afar, smiled softly, and returned the salute:

"No matter, Li Ximing, this is my tribulation. I traveled thousands of miles south just to overcome this tribulation."

Li Li Ximing stared blankly, while Master Kongheng stepped into the flames, also bearing the scorching Li fire and the dazzling heavenly light, gradually arriving under the 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass.'

Volatile Casket closed his eyes and calmed his mind, without saying a word.

Master Kongheng said softly: "Old Senior, you didn't make things clear earlier."

Volatile Casket knew he was referring to the withered wood, and felt a bit of accusation, so he said in a deep voice:

"I am a protector, not a fool. How can there be a reason to make everything clear!"

"I understand."

Master Kongheng sat cross-legged in front of him, his voice warm: "The Seven Paths all have selfish motives. In the current Dao, one cannot live without selfish motives. Master Kongheng has long known this. When the various Mahas interacted with my Master back then, they also had selfish motives."

This sentence of his slandered the Mahas, and Volatile Casket glared at him in anger.

A smile appeared on Master Kongheng's face: "When the various Mahas visited my Master, the sky was filled with five-colored brilliance over the Liao River that night. I followed behind my Master. The various Mahas all tempted me with falling flowers, miraculous language, and golden lotus mysteries, speaking of chaotic heaven and earth, stubborn stones shedding tears, and entering the boundless heavenly stairs to obtain full brilliance, but they failed to succeed."

"But my five senior brothers were all tempted away."

Master Kongheng's words involved hidden matters and mentioned the various Mahas, triggering colorful clouds in the sky and golden lotuses in the lake, finally making Volatile Casket serious, and he said in a low voice: "So what?"

"Abbot Abbot Fuyan is my third senior brother, Kong Yan."

Master Kongheng's tone was calm, with a smile on his face.
