Chapter 286: Excuse me! I just sold that avatar of yours!

Inside the live broadcast room.

Jiang Ye: "Holy crap! Is Boss Qiu trying to make Boss Lu Yun sell Guanyin's avatar as a commodity?"

Yun Yao: "Haha, this idea is brilliant! Boss Qiu is trying to defy the heavens!"

Liu Chongxiao: "But come to think of it, Guanyin's avatar is not weak in strength. Can Boss Lu Yun handle it?"

Xiao Ling'er: "Don't worry, when has Boss Lu Yun ever let us down?"

Fang Wenjie: "Hiss! I don't know why, but I suddenly want to buy a Guanyin avatar to play with too."

Ming Xi: "Ah, this... would you care to elaborate on how you plan to play with it?"

"Boom—"

A piercing roar resounded in all directions as the battle between Lu Yun and Guanyin's avatar grew increasingly intense.

While watching the interactions in the live broadcast room, Lu Yun controlled his own avatar to clash head-on with Guanyin's avatar, feeling increasingly satisfied.

It turned out that Qiu Wanli had been watching everyone discuss it for a long time when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, feeling that it would be a real pity if Guanyin's avatar were simply destroyed; it would be better to see if it could be uploaded to the Points Mall, as he was somewhat interested in buying it back to study.

"Qiu Wanli's imagination is still more formidable than others," Lu Yun thought to himself.

He did not care much about the system's reward this time, but he was very interested in accomplishing such a feat.

Of course, completing this matter was not easy; after all, Guanyin's avatar was formed by the combination of a wisp of her true self's divine sense and one of her Incense Gold Bodies. If he only uploaded her Incense Gold Body to the Points Mall, it likely would not count as completing the task.

Therefore, he had to find a way to keep this wisp of Guanyin's divine sense inside her gold body as well!

Lu Yun continued to take action while thinking.

His figure moved like lightning, weaving freely through the Buddha light of Guanyin's avatar, each collision causing the void to tremble as if it were about to tear this world apart.

The intense battle between Lu Yun's avatar and Guanyin's avatar had by now alarmed the sea tribes deep within the East Sea below them.

Countless sea tribes fled in panic, wanting only to get as far away as possible.

At the same time, news of this naturally spread rapidly back into the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Upon learning of this, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang felt his face turn green, yet he was helpless.

Fortunately, he knew that one of the people in the battle was Guanyin, so he felt that the fight would likely not last long; no matter how powerful the person fighting Guanyin was, Buddhism would surely suppress him soon! Now he could only hope that Buddhism would quickly suppress Lu Yun so that the losses to his East Sea could be reduced! After much deliberation, he decided to report the matter to the Heavenly Court.

Thus, what happened above the East Sea was quickly conveyed to the Heavenly Court.

Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, everything was resplendent and filled with immortal aura.

The Jade Emperor sat high upon his throne, a hint of gravity revealing itself between his brows. He lifted his hand gently and offered up an ancient Treasure Mirror, and the scene of the battle above the East Sea immediately appeared on the mirror's surface.

Within the Treasure Mirror, the fierce battle between Lu Yun and Guanyin's avatar was clearly visible, and the piercing roars and trembling void caused the immortals and gods within the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to glance over one after another, their faces showing expressions of astonishment.

"Who on earth is this sacred being? To be able to fight Guanyin's avatar to such a degree!" Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, could not help but exclaim in a low voice.

"This person's strength is extraordinary, and his style of conduct is unique; he is indeed worthy of our attention." Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard and pondered, his gaze flickering with deep thought.

The immortals and gods discussed it heatedly, full of curiosity about Lu Yun's background and strength. However, when they looked toward the Jade Emperor, they found that he did not immediately express his stance, but was quietly observing the battle in the Treasure Mirror.

The Jade Emperor's heart was also surging with waves.

Because he had just secretly performed a divination, yet he had been unable to divine Lu Yun's identity or background at all, which was highly unusual.

One must know that he was the Lord of the Three Realms, and there were not many people within the Three Realms whose backgrounds he could not divine!

However, as an important figure of Buddhism, Guanyin's avatar fighting with someone was naturally a matter for Buddhism. Although the Heavenly Court had many dealings with Buddhism and had agreed to some of Buddhism's requests this time, this matter was clearly not within the scope of the assistance agreed upon by both sides.

After some consideration, the Jade Emperor spoke slowly: "My dear ministers, this is a matter for Buddhism, and it is not appropriate for us to interfere too much. However, this person's strength is extraordinary, and his actions are unexpected, so we must also pay close attention."

"Your Majesty's words are most correct." The immortals and gods nodded one after another, expressing their agreement.

Thus, the immortals and gods in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall continued to watch the battle in the Treasure Mirror, each calculating in their own hearts. Although they did not directly intervene, they were all filled with intense interest and anticipation regarding this struggle between Lu Yun and Guanyin's avatar.

Xiniu Hezhou.

On Lingshan, clouds and mist swirled, and the sounds of Sanskrit chants echoed, creating a scene of solemnity and peace. Amidst the rolling mountains, ancient trees reached toward the sky, and rare flowers and grasses covered the ground, as if every inch of land contained endless Buddhist nature.

At the peak of Lingshan, the Great Thunder Sound Temple stood towering, shimmering with golden light, solemn and sacred. Inside the temple, Rulai sat upon a lotus throne, eyes closed in contemplation, his body surrounded by faint Buddha light.

At this moment, the Great Thunder Sound Temple was quiet; the various Buddhas of Lingshan, who had been listening to the Buddha expound on the scriptures, all wore solemn expressions, their gazes fixed on the scene of the battle above the East Sea reflected in the Treasure Mirror in the air.

Rulai gazed into the distance with deep eyes, as if trying to pierce through layers of clouds and mist to look directly at the East Sea battlefield, but his brows gradually furrowed.

Since learning the news of the incident in the East Sea, he had tried to divine Lu Yun's identity, but he was astonished to discover that he could not even divine the background of the person fighting fiercely with Guanyin's avatar. This was an extremely rare occurrence in the entire Three Realms.

"Who exactly is this person?" Rulai pondered to himself.

Naturally, he did not care about a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal, but the fact that the other party had such strength and dared to be an enemy of Buddhism made him have to wonder if there was some powerful force behind the other party!

Just then, Guanyin below, with a solemn expression, suddenly came before Rulai, bowed, and said: "World-Honored One, that person's strength is extraordinary, and this poor monk's avatar is afraid it cannot hold out, so I have come specifically to seek the World-Honored One's instructions."

Rulai nodded slightly, a hint of gravity flashing in his gaze. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Great Bodhisattva Guanyin, this person's identity is mysterious and his strength is extraordinary; he is indeed not to be underestimated. Since your avatar is difficult to handle, you shall go to the East Sea yourself and bring him to justice."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Guanyin responded respectfully, then her figure flickered, transforming into a streak of Buddha light, instantly disappearing from the great hall and speeding toward the direction of the East Sea.

The other Buddhas in the Great Thunder Sound Temple saw this and also revealed expressions of relief.

Naturally, they all knew Guanyin's strength and felt that she would certainly be able to capture the other party; at that time, they would only need to use some methods to interrogate him, and they would naturally be able to unveil the mysterious person's mask and uncover the truth of this battle very quickly.

Guanyin's figure moved like lightning, crossing through the clouds, speeding all the way toward the East Sea.

Yet even though she had increased her speed to the maximum, her brows remained tightly furrowed.

Because she sensed that her avatar could not hold out for much longer under the mysterious person's attacks. In order to rescue her avatar as quickly as possible, she decided to mobilize more Incense Power to strengthen her avatar's power.

While continuing her journey, Guanyin closed her eyes and focused, her hands rapidly forming dharma seals, her body's Buddha light shining brilliantly, and her divine sense spreading out like a tide, quickly locking onto all the temples in the vicinity of her avatar.

"All temples, heed my command: quickly gather the Incense Power above the East Sea to assist my avatar!"

Guanyin's voice echoed in the void, carrying an irresistible majesty.

Following Guanyin's command, the Incense Power in one Buddhist temple after another seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, transforming into specks of golden light and gathering above the East Sea.

This Incense Power contained the devout faith and prayers of the believers, converging into a massive force that provided powerful support for Guanyin's avatar.

At the same time, Guanyin's avatar above the East Sea also felt the injection of this power. Her Buddha light, which had already begun to dim, instantly became bright again, and her power was greatly replenished.

However, Guanyin's true self also knew that even with this Incense Power, she could only hold out for a little longer and would be unable to suppress that mysterious powerhouse.

She had a sudden inspiration and decided to have her avatar adopt a stalling tactic.

Above the East Sea.

The aura of battle remained heavy, but suddenly, the figure of Guanyin's avatar paused, and the Buddha light retracted.

Seeing this, Lu Yun could not help but feel somewhat confused and grew secretly vigilant.

Afterwards, he heard Guanyin's voice pass through layers of Buddha light and clearly enter his ears: "Exalted one, your strength and mine are evenly matched. To continue this endless battle is, in truth, a lose-lose situation and utterly meaningless. I do not know what demands you may have, but you may state them. If it is within this humble monk's ability, I am willing to negotiate a resolution with you, provided only that you no longer interfere in the affairs of Buddhism."

Once these words were spoken, not only was the crowd in the live stream room in an uproar.

"Guanyin has actually softened her stance?"

"Could it be that she was scared by the big boss Lu Yun?"

"That's not right! This is only her avatar; her true self hasn't even arrived yet, so how could she be scared?"

"It really is suspicious! There might be some conspiracy! Big boss Lu Yun, be careful!"

Even Lu Yun could not help but be slightly stunned.

But he quickly regained his composure, a playful smile curling at the corners of his mouth. After pretending to ponder for a moment, he said slowly: "Since the Great Bodhisattva Guanyin is so sincere, then I shall speak plainly. I am quite interested in your avatar, Great Bodhisattva; I wonder if you would be willing to transfer this avatar to me?"

Once these words were spoken, the live stream room immediately exploded.

"Holy crap! Big boss Lu Yun is 666!"

"It really has to be you, big boss Lu Yun, you are going against the heavens!"

"I was just thinking about how big boss Lu Yun would sell Guanyin's avatar, who would have thought there was such a move!"

"Hahaha, look everyone, the face of Guanyin's avatar has turned green!"

"She probably never imagined that someone would make such a request of her!"

"Although I don't know what she was originally plotting, it's clear that she is very angry!"

Just as the people in the group said, upon hearing this, the face of Guanyin's avatar turned iron-blue in an instant, and she shouted angrily: "Lu Yun! How can you be so rude! You are insulting this humble monk, insulting my Buddhism!"

Seeing this, Lu Yun just chuckled and said: "Why must the Great Bodhisattva be angry? I was merely making a joke. However, since the Great Bodhisattva is unwilling to transfer the avatar, then I can only resort to some extraordinary means."

As soon as his voice fell, Lu Yun unfolded his figure, and dense runes and prohibitions suddenly emerged in the nearby void. These prohibitions seemed to have a life of their own, quickly weaving into a giant net in the air, firmly trapping Guanyin's avatar.

"This is..." Guanyin's avatar's expression changed drastically.

She never imagined that Lu Yun had been prepared long ago, and while fighting her just now, he had actually laid down such a powerful prohibition.

Naturally, she would not be captured without a fight, and she immediately struggled with all her might, only to find that her power appeared so insignificant before this prohibition.

In the live stream room, the crowd was also dumbfounded; they had never seen such exquisite prohibition placement, and they had never seen Lu Yun use such methods before.

Only Liu Chongxiao could not help but become excited at this moment.

Liu Chongxiao: "Is this the Rune Dao Prohibition from my world? Big boss Lu Yun, when did you learn this? And your attainments are actually so high!"

Lu Yun: "I only learned it just before coming to this Journey to the West World. I suddenly thought of it just now, and it feels quite useful!"

Liu Chongxiao: "666! I never even thought that the prohibitions of my world could have such great power!"

And just as Lu Yun was replying to Liu Chongxiao, the prohibition he activated had completely imprisoned Guanyin's avatar, sealing her Incense Power and a wisp of her divine sense within it.

From the outside, this Guanyin avatar looked as if it had suddenly turned back into a Buddha statue, only it was wrapped in countless complex rune patterns and prohibitions.

On the other side, Guanyin's true self moved like lightning, tearing through the sky, carrying an inviolable majesty and anxiety as she headed straight for the East Sea.

Her heart was filled with unease because just a moment ago, she had suddenly lost contact with her avatar; that wisp of divine sense seemed to have been completely cut off by a powerful force and could not return.

When she finally arrived above the East Sea, the scene before her made her expression even gloomier.

Lu Yun stood there with a calm expression, while her avatar, that golden body which once shone with Buddha light, had now vanished without a trace, leaving only intricate rune patterns and prohibitions slowly dissipating in the air, as if telling of everything that had just happened.

"Lu Yun! Where exactly have you placed this humble monk's avatar!" Guanyin's voice was as cold as ice, carrying monstrous anger that resounded through the heavens. Her eyes were like torches, staring fixedly at Lu Yun, as if she wanted to see right through him.

To this, Lu Yun just grinned and said: "Sorry, you're one step too late! I just sold that avatar of yours!"

"Sold it?"

Hearing this answer, Guanyin could not help but be stunned for a moment, then laughed out of extreme anger, the Buddha light around her body flaring up, as if she would erupt with world-destroying power at any moment.

"Return this humble monk's avatar immediately, otherwise, do not blame this humble monk for being impolite!"

Lu Yun could not help but curl his lips and said: "It sounds as if you would be polite to me if I handed it over!"

Guanyin's expression stalled, then she became even more furious, and simply stopped talking, attacking Lu Yun directly! (End of chapter)
