Chapter 287: Guanyin is Dumbfounded! The Jade Purified Bottle Was Actually Swindled Away!

In her fury, Guanyin's Buddhist light surged, as if transforming into a golden ocean, dyeing the surrounding space gold.

She formed hand seals and let out a low shout: "Om mani padme hum!"

As this Buddhist chant rang out, thousands of Buddha shadows seemed to emerge in the void, each containing immense Buddhist power, descending upon Lu Yun like a torrential downpour.

The people in the livestream room saw this and exclaimed in shock.

"Guanyin is getting serious!"

"Can Boss Lu Yun block this?"

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

Facing Guanyin's aggressive attack, Lu Yun did not show the slightest sign of panic.

A faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth as his figure flickered, turning into a streak of light, moving freely through the sky-filling Buddha shadows as if he had merged with heaven and earth; no matter how those shadows attacked, they could not touch him in the slightest.

"Hmph, mere illusions, and you want to trap me?" Lu Yun chuckled, forming hand seals and likewise driving a powerful force.

One could see him surrounded by Immeasurable Divine Light, which contained his profound understanding and insights into the Great Dao, as if it could pierce through all falsehoods and strike directly at the essence.

As Lu Yun's hand seals shifted, the Immeasurable Divine Light erupted, transforming into a brilliant pillar of light that pierced directly through the sky-filling Buddha shadows and struck toward Guanyin herself.

Seeing this, Guanyin's expression shifted slightly; she had not expected Lu Yun's strength to be so formidable that he could easily break even her Supernatural Power.

Not daring to be careless, she hurriedly channeled all her magic power, condensing the Buddhist light into a golden shield to block in front of her.

"Boom!"

The pillar of light and the shield collided with a crash, erupting with a deafening roar that shook the surrounding void.

Guanyin's figure was forced back repeatedly by this powerful force, her face pale as paper, clearly having suffered a significant impact.

The people in the livestream room saw this and cheered.

"Boss Lu Yun is mighty!"

"Guanyin is nothing special after all!"

"Haha, looks like Buddhism kicked an iron plate this time!"

After steadying her figure, Guanyin looked at Lu Yun with a more solemn gaze. She knew she had underestimated her opponent; the strength of this mysterious person before her was far from as simple as she had previously imagined.

Although she had not used her full strength just now, she could also confirm that the strength of the person before her was definitely not just at the Golden Immortal Peak! "Who exactly are you, sir? Why are you making an enemy of my Buddhism?" Guanyin asked in a deep voice, a hint of imperceptible trembling in her tone.

"I am but a loose cultivator. As for why I am making an enemy of Buddhism, it is naturally because your Buddhist sect acts too tyrannically, and I simply cannot stand it."

Lu Yun smiled slightly and said, "Originally, I just wanted to see what was so special about this little monkey that your Buddhist sect values so much. Who would have thought those two bald donkeys would try to force me away? You tell me, if it were you, could you endure it?"

Hearing this, Guanyin's expression grew even gloomier. She naturally knew the style of Buddhism, but she would never allow an outsider to slander it so.

She took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and said in a deep voice, "Since you are unwilling to say more, then this humble monk will have to continue to learn from your high skills."

As the words fell, Guanyin once again channeled all her magic power, the Buddhist light around her becoming even more dazzling, as if to illuminate this world like broad daylight. Her figure moved, turning into a golden streak of light, charging straight at Lu Yun.

In her palm appeared a precious bottle—it was none other than her signature Spiritual Treasure, the Jade Purified Bottle! Seeing this, a playful smile curled at the corners of Lu Yun's mouth.

The Jade Purified Bottle in Guanyin's hand was merely a Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure, which in his eyes now counted for nothing, but in this Journey to the West World, it was already a top-tier Spiritual Treasure.

Of course, although this Jade Purified Bottle was only a Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure, it did have some extraordinary qualities; the key lay in the Three-Light Divine Water stored within!

"Bodhisattva Guanyin, there is no deep hatred between us, yet you are using this thing directly—isn't that a bit excessive?" Lu Yun's tone was calm, but the Immeasurable Divine Light surrounding him grew even more brilliant, clearly having prepared to respond.

Guanyin snorted coldly and said, "Although you claim to be a loose cultivator, your actions are so arrogant. If this humble monk does not teach you a lesson today, I fear that in the future, the world will think my Buddhism can be bullied."

Having said that, Guanyin gently shook the Jade Purified Bottle in her hand. The mouth of the bottle shone brightly, and three rays of light of different colors flew out, transforming into trickling streams that circled around Guanyin. These were the legendary Three-Light Divine Water—the Sunlight Divine Water that wears away flesh and blood, the Moonlight Divine Water that corrodes the primordial spirit and soul, and the Starlight Divine Water that devours true spirits and consciousness.

The people in the livestream room saw this and exclaimed in wonder.

"This Jade Purified Bottle truly lives up to its reputation!"

"With the Three-Light Divine Water out, it seems Guanyin is getting serious this time!"

"So what if she's serious? Would Boss Lu Yun be afraid of her?"

"I don't know about others, but I reckon Boss Lu Yun has a thousand ways to deal with her Three-Light Divine Water right now!"

Sure enough, just as the people in the group were discussing, Lu Yun suddenly chuckled: "Very well, since that is the case, I shall let you see my magic treasure as well!"

After speaking, he slowly extended his right hand, and in his palm appeared a bead flickering with strange light—it was the Hunyuan Bead he had refined by imitating the Chaos Bead.

Upon seeing it, Guanyin's pupils shrank slightly, for that was a Top-grade Post-celestial Spirit Treasure! One must know that in the current Three Realms, even a Top-grade Post-celestial Spirit Treasure is extremely rare, at least not something an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal could possess.

This further indicated that this person of unknown origin before her was definitely not an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal! And just as Guanyin's mind raced, Lu Yun had already begun to channel the Hunyuan Bead.

As Lu Yun's magic power was injected, the Hunyuan Bead in his palm suddenly erupted with dazzling light, and a thick, mysterious power surged out from within, instantly permeating the entire space. This power formed a sharp contrast with the Three-Light Divine Water around Guanyin—one chaotic and profound, the other clear yet carrying deadly danger.

"What... is this magic treasure?" Guanyin felt suspicious and fearful in her heart; she could feel the massive energy contained within the Hunyuan Bead, a level of power she had never encountered before, making her feel somewhat wary.

Lu Yun smiled slightly and explained, "This is the Hunyuan Bead. Although it is not the original Chaos Bead, it is something I carefully refined, containing the Universe Stage and capable of holding all things."

Before the words had faded, Lu Yun waved his hand gently, and the Hunyuan Bead turned into a streak of light, rushing straight toward Guanyin. That streak of light seemed to contain the mysteries of the entire Cosmos Stage; wherever it passed, even space was distorted, and the Three-Light Divine Water, upon touching the edge of this light, was quietly absorbed and vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Guanyin's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly channeled the Jade Purified Bottle, attempting to recall the Three-Light Divine Water to block this sudden attack. However, the speed of the Hunyuan Bead far exceeded her imagination, reaching her protective Buddhist light almost in an instant.

"Hmph, a mere magic treasure, and you want to hurt me?" Guanyin snorted coldly, her Buddhist light surging, and the golden shield condensed once more, as if to block all attacks outside.

However, when the Hunyuan Bead collided with the golden shield, a shocking scene occurred. The golden shield was like paper, easily pierced by the Hunyuan Bead without leaving a single trace.

"This... how is this possible!" Guanyin was terrified to the extreme; she never expected her protective Buddhist light to be so vulnerable before this Hunyuan Bead. The people in the livestream room were also in an uproar; although they were already accustomed to Lu Yun's power, they still felt shocked every time he displayed new methods.

"What kind of heaven-defying magic treasure did Boss Lu Yun refine this time?"

"Hunyuan Bead? Just the name sounds awesome!"

"Looking at it like this, Bodhisattva Guanyin is going to suffer a setback this time."

"This Guanyin is a Quasi-Saint, yet she can't beat an avatar of Boss Lu Yun who is a Great Luo Golden Immortal? Isn't she too useless?"

Just as everyone was discussing, Guanyin unleashed many more methods in succession, yet she could only barely manage not to be swallowed by the Hunyuan Bead.

Facing the sudden turn toward defeat, Guanyin's expression grew increasingly grave.

The person before her was not only highly skilled, but that so-called Hunyuan Bead was also exceptionally troublesome. She knew well that relying on her own strength alone, it would be difficult to turn the situation around in a short time. Thus, she calculated rapidly in her heart, deciding to change her strategy and use words to provoke him, attempting to buy herself a moment to catch her breath.

She said in a deep voice, "Your strength is extraordinary, and this humble monk admires it. But Buddhism is vast, and the strong are as numerous as clouds; your actions today will likely offend the entire Buddhism."

There was a trace of imperceptible threat in Guanyin's voice, attempting to use this to intimidate Lu Yun.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun gave a playful smile and said, "Nothing to be done. Who told you my temper is fiery? Your Buddhism forced me to strike, so now I can only walk this path to the end—first finish off you, this Bodhisattva Guanyin, and then escape!"

After speaking, he once again urged the Hunyuan Bead, and the offensive became even more fierce, making Guanyin almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Guanyin hurriedly shouted, "Wait! Sir, this humble monk admits that today's matter was Buddhism's fault first. Why don't you and I stop here? This humble monk can offer you an apology and compensation, how about that?"

Seeing her threatening a second ago and now begging for peace the next, the people in Lu Yun's livestream room burst into laughter all at once.

Seeing this, Lu Yun's mouth curled into a meaningful smile. He naturally heard the urgency and intent to delay in Guanyin's words, but he did not stop immediately; instead, he deliberately slowed his offensive, giving Guanyin a chance to "consider."

"Great Being Guanyin, an apology and compensation are naturally good, but empty words are no proof. How do I know your Buddhism won't come to trouble me again in the future?" Lu Yun's voice carried a hint of mockery, yet it did not lack majesty.

Guanyin felt secretly anxious. She knew well that what Lu Yun said was not false; the operating style of Buddhism indeed easily made enemies, but she also had to buy time for herself to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Thinking about it, with Rulai's Supernatural Power, he was likely already on his way! Thus, she took a deep breath, trying her best to make her tone sound sincere: "What you say is very true. This humble monk is willing to swear in the name of Buddhism that today's matter will never be pursued again by Buddhism. At the same time, this humble monk can gift you a Buddhist treasure to show sincerity."

As she spoke, Guanyin flipped her wrist, and a string of prayer beads emitting a soft golden light appeared in her palm. Each bead contained a faint ripple of Buddhist power; clearly, it was no ordinary item.

"This is my Buddhism's supreme treasure, the 'Bodhi Prayer Beads.' Holding them can calm the mind and spirit, resist the intrusion of inner demons, and is of great benefit to cultivation. I wish to use this item to exchange for your mercy." Guanyin slowly pushed the Bodhi Prayer Beads toward Lu Yun, her eyes full of expectation.

Seeing this, Lu Yun's mouth curled into a playful smile: Doesn't this mean there's another chance to trigger a mission?

Thus, while putting on a look of consideration, he turned his gaze to the livestream interface, communicating silently with the crowd.

Lu Yun: "Everyone, do you think I should reconcile with this Guanyin?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone began to discuss it one after another.

"To be honest, if you just beat this Guanyin to death in one go, it doesn't seem very interesting!"

"Then reconcile for now?"

"Even if we reconcile, it can't be because of a mere string of Bodhi Prayer Beads!"

"The Bodhi Prayer Beads are good, but compared to Guanyin's Jade Purified Bottle, they are far inferior!"

"Exactly, a string of beads to dismiss our big boss Lu Yun? Bodhisattva Guanyin is too stingy!"

"Jade Purified Bottle! Jade Purified Bottle! It must be the Jade Purified Bottle!"

……

The barrage in the livestream room surged like a tide, almost unanimously demanding that Guanyin hand over the Jade Purified Bottle.

At the same time, a system notification sound rang in Lu Yun's mind:

"Ding! Suggestion received: Demand the Jade Purified Bottle! Reward: Rare Treasure Chest x1!"

Lu Yun smiled slightly, as if he had long anticipated such a result.

Thus, he looked at Guanyin and said, "Actually, what I, Lu, want more is your Jade Purified Bottle. I wonder what the Great Being thinks?"

Upon hearing this, Guanyin's expression changed slightly. The Jade Purified Bottle was a supreme treasure she had cultivated with for many years, containing the Three Lights Divine Water, and its power was infinite. How could she easily hand it over to others?

"Sir, the Jade Purified Bottle is an item of my cultivation; how can it be easily gifted?" Guanyin suppressed the displeasure in her heart, trying her best to make her tone sound calm.

Lu Yun shook his head lightly, and the Hunyuan Bead once again emitted a faint light, as if ready to increase the intensity of the attack at any moment.

"Since you are unwilling to hand over the Jade Purified Bottle, then I have no choice but to continue to learn from your high skills. It's just that I wonder, before your Buddhist colleagues arrive, will you be able to hold on?"

Guanyin felt a chill in her heart. She knew well that Lu Yun's strength was unfathomable; if they really fought, she feared she would be unable to hold out until Rulai arrived. Although the Jade Purified Bottle was precious, her life was more important.

Moreover, upon second thought, if the Jade Purified Bottle was handed over temporarily, once Rulai arrived, there would naturally be a way to take it back.

Anyway, this Lu Yun couldn't run away! Thus, Guanyin sighed softly, a flash of resolution in her eyes. "Fine, since you insist, this humble monk will hand the Jade Purified Bottle to you. But I hope you can keep your promise and no longer be an enemy of Buddhism."

Lu Yun said flatly: "I, Lu, can only promise that as long as your Buddhism does not come to provoke me, I naturally will not go to provoke you!"

Guanyin wanted to say something more, but she suddenly heard a voice transmission: "Great Being Guanyin, this seat is about to arrive."

This was Rulai's voice transmission! Guanyin could not help but be overjoyed, so she didn't bother to think anymore and replied directly: "Good, this humble monk agrees to you!"

Thus, Guanyin slowly loosened her palm, and that Jade Purified Bottle emitting a faint light hovered in the air, slowly flying toward Lu Yun.

Seeing this, Lu Yun smiled slightly, lifted his hand gently, and tucked the Jade Purified Bottle into his pocket, also keeping his promise by withdrawing the Chaos Bead and stopping the attack.

Guanyin breathed a secret sigh of relief, and then intended to say something to Lu Yun to delay the other party until Rulai arrived.

But Lu Yun suddenly grinned at her and said, "Since the matter is settled, I, Lu, will take my leave!"

The next moment, his figure disappeared directly in front of Guanyin.

Guanyin was dumbfounded all at once! (End of chapter)
