Chapter 1433: Chapter 533: A World in an Eye
The news of the "Seventeen Realms Heaven Lord" appearing in Jing Country greatly delighted Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan crouched down and grabbed the tail of the Hundred-eyed Child, lifting him upside down.
The Hundred-eyed Child glared angrily at Zhou Xuan. With his many eyes, he looked rather amusing. The central eye was fixed on Zhou Xuan, while the other eyes seemed uncertain where to look.
Zhou Xuan asked Little Brain, "What is the primary function of the Hundred-eyed Child?"
Little Brain’s "database" contained firsthand information about the Hundred-eyed Child.
Though the information wasn’t very detailed, it could still provide Zhou Xuan with a foothold and spark his thoughts.
"The Hundred-eyed Child is one of the Six Sins Venerable under the Yanfutai Buddha Mother. His role is to use his own body to provide a secluded sanctuary for the Yanfutai Buddha Mother."
Little Brain explained methodically.
"The Hundred-eyed Child provides a dwelling place for the Buddha Mother? How does he do that?"
Zhou Xuan turned his head to look at Little Brain. What he saw amused him greatly.
"Little Brain, are you pretending to play the ghost with me?"
Zhou Xuan saw that Little Brain had projected a holographic image of itself.
Its walnut-sized body had constructed a head and limbs through the image, and on top of the head was a top hat. It wore a monocle, resting its chin on its hand, in a pose of contemplation.
"Master, this is a detective’s outfit. Haven’t you loaded a lot of novels and magazines for the Engineer? I’ve been reading them, too. The detectives in the magazines look like this."
"Do you think you’re cosplaying Sherlock Holmes?"
Zhou Xuan couldn’t help but mock, "Stop with those fancy tricks, look at me, and answer me—how does the Hundred-eyed provide a dwelling place for the Buddha Mother?"
"It’s like this, the Hundred-eyed Child, despite appearing small, has a body so massive it stretches for dozens of kilometers..."
"A massive body?"
Dangling the tail of the Hundred-eyed Child, Zhou Xuan shook it vigorously, watching the child-like body swing back and forth, "This little thing? It’s not even a meter tall."
The "image head" of Little Brain slowly shook and said, "Master, this is not the true form of the Hundred-eyed Child. At most, it’s just a small part of his consciousness."
"His true form is probably the entire Lotus Mountain."
With Little Brain’s words, Zhou Xuan’s gaze involuntarily passed through the Treasure Hall, looking at the endless mountain range, like a giant lying across the earth,
The mountain wind howled, causing the lush vegetation to sway endlessly, giving a palpable sense that a giant was breathing.
Yet when Zhou Xuan looked back at the Hundred-eyed Child in his hand, he still couldn’t connect this "little thing" with the sky-high giant.
"Little Brain, is your information reliable or not?"
"Of course it’s reliable. The Buddha Country people, who are notorious sinners, recorded it for me. They would surely record it correctly; recording it wrong would be deceiving themselves."
Little Brain, feeling aggrieved from being doubted, puffed indignantly.
Zhou Xuan thought it made sense, and he muttered to himself, "This is a bit troublesome then. The Lotus Buddha Mother could be hiding anywhere within the entire Lotus Mountain, and if she hears any rumors, she might escape at the slightest hint..."
"Master, aren’t you worrying unnecessarily?"
Little Brain sighed, "In the Buddha Country’s Thirty-Three Heavens, the Seventeenth Heaven’s Realm Lord’s power level is top-notch, even among the god-level in Jing Country. If anyone’s escaping, it would be from certain doom."
"Stop with the useless talk."
Zhou Xuan glanced at the Hundred-eyed Child and said to Little Brain, "You mentioned that the Hundred-eyed Child needs to eat a Mola Fruit regularly."
What is a Mola Fruit? It refers to the kind of people who are forbidden from visiting the Lotus Temple—disabled and pregnant people.
"But the Hundred-eyed Child looks starved, eager to act when a blind person visits the temple, evidently because it hasn’t eaten a Mola Fruit in some time."
Zhou Xuan concluded, "This means that the Yanfutai Buddha Mother has not been in Lotus Mountain recently, which is why the Hundred-eyed Child is cut off from the Mola Fruit."
"If not in the mountains, then where?"
Little Brain asked.
Zhou Xuan shook his head, then nodded towards the Hundred-eyed Child in his hand, saying, "We should ask it."
"Ask me...will I tell?"
"You really think you can catch Little Master?"
The Hundred-eyed Child in Zhou Xuan’s hand roared, and at the same time, a fierce wind arose within Lotus Mountain.
The gusts blew towards Zhou Xuan, Zhao Wuya, and Little Brain like ordinary wind,
But when it reached the Hundred-eyed Child, it was like knives slicing through flesh,
One gust could carve out a piece of the child’s flesh,
The fierce wind, filled with countless blades, almost instantly left the Hundred-eyed Child with only half a body.
"The Hundred-eyed Child sacrifices himself to save the commander, Ya Zi, raise the wind."
Zhou Xuan wanted to keep the Hundred-eyed Child alive, as having a live one would naturally facilitate their subsequent actions.
If the Hundred-eyed Child in his hand was killed by the mountain wind, he would fall into a passive situation.
With his command, Zhao Wuya had already borrowed the mountain’s wind power to create a vast cloud wall, like a giant swaddle, wrapping the Hundred-eyed Child layer by layer.
To make the cloud wall barrier even more impenetrable, Zhou Xuan also unleashed his "Saint’s Infinite," infusing the cloud wall with an overwhelming aura.
With both of them gathering power together, Zhou Xuan believed that even a god-level from the Heavenly Dome would find it difficult to break through the cloud wall with mere telekinesis and incense in a short time.
