Chapter 2461: Chapter 2459: Enlightenment in a Single Thought
The more souls the Hou Tu Banner Spirit devoured, the more it could connect with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Laws of this place.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw the Twelve Witch Gods growing stronger and stronger, devouring more and more Yin Spirits, and no longer wanted to waste time tangling with Long Fei.
He held the Tin Staff in both hands, gave a low shout, "Emperor, it’s time to end this!"
"Unmoving Mountain Seal!"
He became famous by embodying "patient and unmoving as the great earth, tranquil and profoundly secret as the hidden storehouse."
As soon as this seal appeared, an enormous Buddha image manifested above his head, releasing golden light that completely sealed Long Fei inside.
This golden light was the manifestation of the Space Law and Time Law.
The space around Long Fei was completely sealed off by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
The copper rings on his Tin Staff jingled, and he smashed it down toward the top of Long Fei’s head.
The aura of a Saint crushed the Void.
One staff strike could annihilate worlds.
"So that’s what the Six Paths of Reincarnation really are!"
Long Fei’s black hair flew wildly as he suddenly punched up toward the Tin Staff.
A fist imprint of a Black and White Yin Yang Fish suddenly slammed into the Tin Staff.
With a thunderous boom, that peerless fist imprint shattered the golden imprisonment and sent the Tin Staff flying.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s palm was jolted; the staff flew from his hand, and golden blood spurted from his palm.
Since attaining the Dao, his Bodhisattva Golden Body had never been injured again.
Now his eyes fixed on Long Fei, filled with shock.
The aura on Long Fei’s body grew ever thicker and deeper, standing before Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva like the very earth itself.
"You lost!"
Long Fei clasped his hands behind his back, looking down at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from on high, like an emperor overlooking the world.
With one thought reaching through all, one can become Buddha, become Patriarch.
At the critical moment of battle, he comprehended the Six Paths of Reincarnation Laws.
Although for now he could not, like Empress Hou Tu, reopen the Six Paths of Reincarnation here,
he had, however, comprehended a set of fist techniques—one punch that could send Yin Yang into Reincarnation.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s expression dimmed; he pressed his palms together and sighed, "Amitabha, Emperor, your talent is extraordinary. This poor monk is convinced. Your affairs, this poor monk will no longer interfere in."
"Then I must thank Bodhisattva."
Long Fei smiled faintly as the Twelve Witch Gods gathered from the four directions, sitting cross-legged and absorbing the surrounding Yin Spirits.
With Divine Mind Penetration, he could simultaneously cover eighteen spaces.
The Chaos Beast only emerged after a while, its face puffed up like a drum with excitement as it called out to Long Fei, "Master, we won. That Little Kirin got beaten by me like a grandson, he almost called me grandpa just now."
In the black Void came an angry roar, "You mangy Chaos, if you’ve got the guts, come down here and fight again."
The Chaos Beast didn’t dare spout nonsense anymore. It gave an awkward laugh toward below, "Brother Listening Carefully, we only fought to get acquainted, no need to be so hot-tempered. When we get to the Human Realm, I’ll treat you to the best food under heaven."
Only then did Listening Carefully swallow his anger and say no more, heading down below in search of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
"Little punk, trying to square off with grandpa!"
The Chaos Beast snickered to itself, then asked Long Fei, "Master, does this place count as our turf now?"
Long Fei shot it a sideways glance. "What, you want me to grant this place to you as a fief?"
The Chaos Beast shook its head repeatedly. "No way, this shattered space’s got nothing on our Heavenly Court for fun."
"Then you’re mistaken."
Long Fei said to it, "Although this is shattered Void, it’s actually the primordial form of the universe. Back then, who knows how many Spiritual Roots, wondrous herbs, and supreme experts were born here. Even if it’s broken, some remnants must still exist. Go look around; you might stumble on a massive stroke of fortune."
"Really?"
The Chaos Beast cried out in surprise and, before Long Fei could say more, vanished with one Ethereal Escape.
The noise at Long Fei’s ear finally quieted. Together with the Twelve Witch God Banner Spirits, he sat here cultivating, madly devouring the surrounding Yin Spirits.
No one knew how much time passed when Thunderbolt suddenly roared above his head.
With a crack, it startled Long Fei awake.
Without realizing it, his Cultivation Level had surged, almost stepping over that threshold.
If he were to break through to the True Immortal Realm here,
the violent Yang Qi Thunderbolts would be genuine anti-matter energy. If they ignited the Yin Qi of this place, they’d probably blow him into dust.
He wasn’t that stupid. He temporarily stabilized his Divine Sea and saw that the Twelve Witch God Banner Spirits had already condensed their divine souls; they no longer needed to hide in the Witch God Flags to survive as before.
They were now like Daoists, with flesh, bones, and divine souls, entirely like twelve bodies Long Fei had recreated, just a bit lacking in Blood Qi.
Long Fei’s divine soul was connected to theirs, but it had not yet reached the level of severing corpses.
These twelve bodies were equivalent to his twelve mechanical bodies.
Long Fei didn’t dare stay here any longer. His Divine Sense covered eighteen spaces as he shouted to the Chaos Beast, "Time to go!"
Hearing his voice, the Chaos Beast hurried back, looking all dejected. "Master, you lied. This place is just a Void world; there’s nothing good here at all."
Long Fei chuckled. He had only lied to it because it was annoying.
He noticed something in the Chaos Beast’s mouth and asked curiously, "What’s that you’re holding in your mouth?"
The Chaos Beast spat the thing out and gloomily handed it to Long Fei. "Found this broken rock here. Can’t even bite through it, no idea what it is."
"A rock?"
Long Fei frowned, not believing any physical object could exist in this kind of world.
The gravitational pull of the eighteen spaces intertwined was like eighteen black holes tangled together; anything inside should be reduced to ash.
Only beings like him and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who had already stepped beyond the Five Elements, could come down here.
He took the black object and examined it. It was a round thing, about the size of a serving plate, icy cold to the touch, and indeed showed no fluctuation of Mana.
Long Fei put the thing away, patted the Chaos Beast’s head, and said, "Come on, your master’s taking you out for a big feast!"
The Chaos Beast’s eyes rolled about, then it suddenly cried out, "Master, is that thing a Magical Treasure?"
"What thing?"
Long Fei played dumb.
The Chaos Beast cried out in frustration, "Don’t fool an honest beast, I mean that black stone I just gave you!"
"What black stone? I don’t know what you’re talking about."
Long Fei laughed it off and, together with the Chaos Beast, broke through the gravitational pull of the eighteen spaces and walked out of the black vortex.
In Yama’s Palace, bells rang out.
The Ten Great Yama Kings were drinking Meng Po Soup. Hearing the commotion, they all pricked up their ears, each of them exclaiming, "Could that brat have come out?"
"Impossible. We just took a sip of wine; how could he come out so fast?"
One Yama Lord didn’t believe it.
Another Yama Lord said, "The flow of time in the Eighteen Layers of Hell isn’t the same as outside. Let’s go take a look and we’ll know."
They all got up and were about to leave the building.
Just then, a young woman in a long white dress lifted her long leg to block the doorway, stretching out a hand toward them and saying coyly, "Big brothers, you’re not thinking of skipping out on your tab again, are you?"
The Ten Great Yama Kings looked at each other and burst out laughing. They all said, "Little sis, we’ve got important business to attend to. Next time we’ll settle all the old tabs with you together."
The woman clearly didn’t believe it. Holding a fan in one hand and raising the other at them, she said, "Humans have human talk, ghosts have ghost talk. Your ghost talk—I don’t believe a single word of it."
The Ten Great Yama Kings gave dry laughs and patted their pockets, but truly couldn’t pull out what the woman wanted.
At that moment, someone walked in from outside, took one look at them, and laughed aloud, "What tab? I’ll settle it for all you Yama Lords."
