Chapter 1776: Chapter 845: Opportunity! Finale!
The fall of the Buddha also announced the complete destruction of the Spirit Mountain.
It further signaled the end of this battle.
The grudge between Chen Yuan and Spirit Mountain can be considered to have reached a temporary conclusion. Perhaps, before this, when the Buddha made multiple moves against Chen Yuan, he could never have imagined this outcome.
Moluo clasped one hand, softly reciting a Buddhist chant in a low voice:
"Amitabha."
It seemed to be a farewell to the Buddha.
All grudges, all past events, with the fall of the Buddha, could be said to have drifted away like the wind. The aura surrounding Moluo became increasingly harmonious, as if he had comprehended something.
There was a subtle difference compared to before.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan focused closely on the Qi Fortune surrounding the Buddha, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Indeed, the faint golden glow gradually dissipated, revealing a strand of original azure light. This azure Qi Fortune swirled like a dragon in the void, then surged toward Chen Yuan’s body.
The Qi Fortune Altar deep within his consciousness slowly rotated, emanating a faint supreme pressure. Before long, a new insight welled up in Chen Yuan’s heart.
"Ten thousand miles of yellow sand stirred into dust, the Western Regions Xuan Guan crossing of life and death. Mandala flowers bloom across the Nether Sea, one Immortal Pearl opens the heavens and earth!"
Life and Death Crossing, Mandala Flowers, Immortal Pearl!
Chen Yuan furrowed his brows slightly.
His understanding of the Western Regions was still limited; he fundamentally lacked clarity on this opportunity’s hints.
Moluo raised his head, observing Chen Yuan’s contemplative expression, remained silent for a moment, then spoke softly:
"For this time, thanks to King Yan."
If it were left to him alone, it would have been impossible to slay the Buddha and complete his wish; the situation could have turned worse.
This young man he once protected has now become the pillar he looks up to.
It’s impossible to say there are no feelings about this.
"There’s no need to thank you anymore, senior. If thanks are to be spoken between us, it should be from the junior." Chen Yuan opened his eyes, looked at Moluo seriously, and smiled.
From the start of the Great Jin Dynasty’s ancestor worship, Moluo had been by Chen Yuan’s side, solving numerous problems for him, becoming his greatest support and pillar.
Without Moluo, he couldn’t have reached today so smoothly.
Towards Moluo, Chen Yuan naturally felt grateful.
This was the grace of protection along his path.
"Hehe."
"Senior, have you heard of the Xuan Guan crossing of life and death?" Suddenly, Chen Yuan asked.
Though he didn’t know much about the Western Regions, Moluo grew up there and was knowledgeable about many things.
When uncertain, ask Moluo.
"Xuan Guan crossing of life and death..." Moluo heard the name, furrowed his brows slightly, curious how Chen Yuan knew of this place, feeling a bit surprised.
"Is there some problem?" Seeing Moluo’s reaction, Chen Yuan squinted his eyes.
"It’s not that, just a humble monk is a bit curious how you know of it."
"Hehe, this king..."
Moluo looked at Chen Yuan with a meaningful smile and said softly:
"Humble monk has no intention of probing your secrets, but this Xuan Guan crossing of life and death has historically only been known by Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of the Buddhist sect. A humble monk never spoke of it, so...."
"Hehe, the junior understands."
"This crossing of life and death is an absolute land of the Western Regions, located deep in the desert, a space of chaotic land fraught with extreme danger. Even immortals cannot take it lightly.
A thousand years ago, a Buddha from Spirit Mountain accidentally discovered this place and nearly got trapped, leaving records of the event.
There are no treasures here, only danger. Over a thousand years, no Buddhists have ventured here. A humble monk once traveled the Western Regions and visited once. The rules are chaotic.
Everywhere hides deadly threats, below the Six Realms, entering means certain death....
Moluo narrated slowly, informing Chen Yuan of everything he knew. He did not pry into Chen Yuan’s secrets, as everyone has their own.
Nor did he advise Chen Yuan against going.
Since he is interested, a visit won’t hurt. Given Chen Yuan’s current strength, the life and death crossing hardly counts as an absolute place; he only needs to be cautious.
In fact, the supposed absolute and menacing lands of this human world hardly matter to Chen Yuan.
This is the terrifying aspect of a Martial God.
Sufficiently fearless to walk anywhere!
"Thank you, senior." Chen Yuan nodded, once the location was known, he would naturally explore it.
Absolute land?
No,
To him, an absolute land is a blessed land.
"You both seem to be in good spirits at this time." Amidst the conversation, the elder celestial master finally rushed over, once again donning a new Daoist robe, but his aura remained faint.
Entirely lacking the previous strong aura.
Clearly, the Ge Mu Barbarian God had nearly forced him into an absolute situation, were it not for Moluo’s help, today might have cost the fall of an immortal.
"Elder celestial master’s wounds..."
"No harm, no harm, no damage to the Origin, some days of rest, and it’ll mostly recover. Though this time, I felt a bit of a burden, didn’t help much..."
The elder celestial master showed a look of embarrassment.
The once dominant immortal in the human world now seemed somewhat insignificant in front of a true Immortal Battle.
In this grand battle, his role was merely to stall Ge Mu Barbarian God for a moment.
For one as proud as him, indeed it was somewhat....shameful.
"Worry not, sir. Without your blocking of the Barbarian God, it wouldn’t have been possible for everything to go so smoothly." Moluo smiled.
"Moluo senior is right, elder celestial master, do not be modest. Thanks to the elder this time...."
