As time passed, Wang Junze quickly discovered that as his memory of these Buddhist scriptures deepened, this cultivation technique naturally began to operate.
This discovery suddenly startled Wang Junze!
With the operation of this Buddhist skill, the demonic Qi within his body would gradually be expelled, reverting to True Qi, and it would even contain a trace of Buddha Nature. Although this had no impact on his cultivation, if practiced long-term, all the demonic Qi in his body would inevitably be dispelled.
Furthermore, the influence of this Buddhist skill did not end there. Even his Divine Soul would be affected, as if there was an invisible force dispelling his killing intent and subtly influencing his temperament.
This cultivation technique was indeed rather insidious.
At this thought, Wang Junze immediately activated his Sword Intent, forcibly cutting off the connection between himself and Monk Benyin.
But... it was already too late!
That section of Buddhist scripture seemed to have been engraved deep within his Divine Soul, completely unforgettable, and as soon as he had the thought, it would involuntarily operate, requiring no conscious cultivation.
"Master Benyin, isn't this cultivation technique of yours a bit too domineering?"
With a hint of anger in his eyes, Wang Junze coldly questioned.
"Amitabha!"
With hands clasped together, Monk Benyin showed a compassionate expression and softly said, "Wang Tanyue, do not be angry. What I imparted to you is the Nirvana Sutra, an unrivaled skill rarely passed on even within this temple. It exclusively benefits and never harms others. However, if you wish to truly master this skill, you must continuously study the Buddhist teachings, controlling this Buddha Nature with them to fully exert control."
"Once I heard that Wang Tanyue had perused numerous Sword Manuals at the Wenhua Pavilion in the Capital City, which is commendable. I can assure you access to all the Buddhist scriptures and cultivation techniques within the Scripture Pavilion of this temple."
Upon hearing this, Wang Junze immediately let out a cold laugh.
No wonder Monk Benyin dared to be so reassured, not needing to set any conditions for me. Simply by cultivating this Nirvana Sutra, I would naturally have to continuously study the so-called Buddhist teachings, thereby establishing ties with Xuankong Temple!
If cultivation continued in this manner, by the time I entered the Saint Realm, my body would naturally be imbued with the so-called Buddha Nature. By then, the ties would be so deep that I would truly become one of Xuankong Temple.
This kind of cultivation technique is beyond domineering; it's downright insidious.
However... influencing me with such a sinister skill is not so simple.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Junze then coldly laughed, "Master Benyin, I have already cultivated the Nirvana Sutra as agreed. Have we fulfilled our agreement?"
"Naturally!"
Monk Benyin softly replied.
"Good, then if I fail to master this technique, will it not count as my breach of faith?"
Wang Junze questioned further.
Slightly taken aback, Monk Benyin was a bit puzzled; did Wang Junze still intend to eliminate the influence of the Nirvana Sutra at this stage?
Regarding this technique, Monk Benyin had absolute confidence.
For the monks of Xuankong Temple, this was an exceedingly precious Great Taoist Skill. However, for others, it was an Enlightenment Skill. In the past, the Buddhist Sect used this sutra to forcibly enlighten many formidable Demon Cultivators. Regardless of their Heaven-Reaching Cultivation, they would eventually be influenced by the Nirvana Sutra and adhere to the Buddhist Sect.
In this matter, he did owe Wang Junze somewhat, but as a member of Xuankong Temple, he had no choice but to use it to bind Wang Junze, skillfully staying one step ahead.
Thinking of this, Monk Benyin finally nodded, "Indeed, having accepted the Transmission from me, you have fulfilled your promise, and my obligation to intervene for you is also fulfilled. If you can sever the influence of the Nirvana Sutra, then I shall concede defeat."
"Good, I will remember that!"
Nodding, Wang Junze said indifferently, "In that case, I ask you, Master, to leave the Nether Sea."
Wang Junze did not directly fall out with Monk Benyin, as there was no meaning in doing so. Fulfilling these agreements was already sufficient.
"Amitabha!"
Monk Benyin also understood the anger Wang Junze felt over this matter. Likewise, he did not stay any longer, slightly bowed, rose immediately, and stepped out of the hall.
In the next moment, the surrounding Buddha Light also faded away!
"Amitabha, disciples of Xuankong Temple, follow me out of the Nether Sea!"
With a command, all the disciples of Xuankong Temple within the temple bowed simultaneously and followed Monk Benyin out towards Netherworld City.
"Young Master, are you all right?"
Soon after, Jing Yuan and the others also stepped into the hall, with Peng Ru reaching Wang Junze's side immediately, asking with concern.
"It's nothing, I was set up by Benyin. Have you ever heard of the Nirvana Sutra?"
Shaking his head, Wang Junze looked towards the others and asked.
"You've cultivated the Nirvana Sutra?"
Instantly, Yang Hong's expression changed dramatically, asking urgently.
"Yes!"
Nodding, Wang Junze also didn't hide it, answering directly, "Have you heard of this technique?"
"I've heard of it!"
With a wry smile, Yang Hong replied solemnly, "You know, my inheritance is from the Heaven-Encompassing Demon God, but even for me, if I cultivated the Nirvana Sutra, it would be very difficult to sever its influence, let alone for other Demon Cultivators... In the past, the Buddhist Sect used the Nirvana Sutra to forcibly enlighten many Demon Cultivators."
"However, it's rumored that the Nirvana Sutra has already been lost... How does Benyin still possess it?"
"No matter, I have my ways to nullify the influence of the Nirvana Sutra."
Waving his hand, Wang Junze answered lightly.
Though the techniques of the Buddhist Sect are domineering, they may not be effective on Wang Junze. Not to mention that Wang Junze's Chess Swordsmanship is among the top lineages; no matter how insidious the Nirvana Sutra may be, is it stronger than Ye Piaoling?
Moreover, if worse comes to worst, Wang Junze could return to the Secret Realm where Han Zixiao resides and ask Han Zixiao to dispel the influence of the Nirvana Sutra with the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.
Previously, when accepting the inheritance from Monk Benyin, Wang Junze had been wary, and it's precisely for this reason that he agreed to the other's terms with confidence.
But there's no rush on this matter!
First, wait for Monk Benyin to lead the people of Xuankong Temple out of the Nether Sea, then find a way to sever the influence of the Nirvana Sutra afterward.
However, because of this occurrence, it allowed Wang Junze to truly see through Xuankong Temple.
As Monk Benyin mentioned regarding cause and effect, due to this matter, Monk Benyin's favor in the past is now fully repaid. In the future, should there be any conflict with Xuankong Temple, there is no need to hold back any longer.
"Whatever means you have, you must act quickly!"
Looking at Wang Junze, Yang Hong earnestly instructed, "The methods of the Buddhist Sect are very domineering. The longer you delay, the harder it becomes to remove their influence."
"Rest assured, I have it under control!"
Nodding slightly, Wang Junze then instructed, "Prepare a banquet. I want to invite all Demon Cultivators of the Nether Sea, formally announcing the expulsion of the Profound Moon Sword Sect and Xuankong Temple people. From now on, the Nether Sea stands independent, free from the influence of any power."
