Surrounded by three giant Buddha statues, Wang Ba’s expression was calm and composed. His gaze swept past the three statues and scanned the surroundings. He saw Shen Fu in the distance, who had repelled the cultivators of Zhang’s Ruins with a single palm, then gracefully retreated. Shen Fu’s eyes swept past Wang Ba, but revealed no emotion, as if looking at a stranger.
Further away in the void, the little monk’s face was familiar. Upon seeing Wang Ba, his gaze was equally calm, his expression indifferent, as if he didn’t recognize Wang Ba at all.
"Why did Xiahou Demon place them here?"
Frowning slightly inwardly, pondering quickly, Wang Ba was suddenly interrupted by a Buddha chant that sounded like a great bell:
"Supre True Buddha, Layman Taiyi, we never thought we would et you again here after parting ways in the Cloud Sky Realm."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba withdrew his gaze, looking at the three giant Buddha statues surrounding him. He examined each one briefly and then focused on one of the statues, raising an eyebrow with a light smile on his face:
"Northern Great Bodhisattva, it has been a while. I never expected to encounter you here; life is full of unexpected etings, and everywhere one sees the traces of the Supre True Buddha."
His tone was indifferent, perhaps mocking, perhaps rely reflecting.
The Buddha statue embodying the Northern Great Bodhisattva frowned slightly:
"Our last parting was just three or four hundred years ago; how can you say it’s been a while?"
Then quickly changing the subject, a hint of ’greed, anger, delusion’ crossed his face:
"Nonetheless, it’s no matter. After today, you and I will no longer have to part."
With that, he swiftly commanded:
"You two, this demon’s ans are many; we must not underestimate him. Let’s strike together and prevent his escape!"
Before his voice faded, the three giant Buddha statues simultaneously lifted their colossal Buddha’s Hands and pressed down toward Wang Ba!
Outside the three great Buddhas, countless golden lights in the shape of ’卍’ silently appeared almost instantly upon the action!
Sutras flowed, chants echoed.
The imnse Buddha’s Hands fell as if descending from the Sky Do!
In this instant, the world fell silent!
Wang Ba stood with his hands behind him in the center of the three giant Buddha statues, gazing at the massive Buddha’s Hands pressing down above. His eyes were calm as water, yet reflected not the Buddha’s Hands, but mysterious golden patterns flowing.
These golden patterns imdiately underwent countless changes and recombinations... ultimately rging into the shape of a ’Buddha’s Hand.’
So parts were blurry, while others appeared crystal clear to his eyes.
"Is it like this?"
As the massive Buddha’s Hands seed about to strike, Wang Ba seed to have realized sothing, his thoughts shifted, and in an instant, he raised his hand to gently push upward—
Boom!
The deafening roar instantly startled all the cultivators and monks around!
The violent tremor even caused the surface of Zhang’s Ruins to dislodge countless fragnts, stirring up rolling Chaos Origin Substance, enveloping the three giant Buddha statues entirely...
"Ruins Master!"
"Great Bodhisattva!"
At this mont, both the cultivators and monks changed their expressions.
Outside Zhang’s Ruins, two hidden figures in the void also showed concern and surprise, their eyes fixed on the chaotic mist-like Chaos Origin Substance below...
In just an instant, the rolling Chaos Origin Substance was quickly pushed away.
Then revealed were the figures of the three Great Bodhisattvas.
Yet seeing the scene within left everyone stunned!
In the center of the three giant Buddha statues, a silent golden Buddha with closed eyes, far more imposing than the Dharma Forms of the three Great Bodhisattvas, sat quietly in ditation.
He had three heads and six arms, topped with a at bun, a full face, ears hanging to his shoulders, with a hint of a compassionate smile at his mouth. His entire body seed like gold or glazed, donned in a golden robe, displaying a dignified presence, holding a green-robed Taoist in one hand while each of his other three hands ford mudras, resisting the three giant Buddha’s Hands pushed by the surrounding statues!
"What’s going on?!"
"Why has the Ruins Master also turned into a demonic monk?!"
Not only the cultivators of Zhang’s Ruins, even the monks were bewildered witnessing this.
"This... this is the ’Wisdom Dharma Aspect’ from the ’Prajna Sutra’!"
"But... how is he able to do this?"
Seeing this scene, neither the figure within the Six Paths of Rebirth nor the two people hidden in the void could hide their bewildernt!
"That’s not right!"
In the void, the elderly figure frowned slightly:
"The aura of this Supre True Buddha is sowhat ambiguous..."
From the opposite void, the massive figure’s face also showed confusion and suspicion:
"It sowhat resembles yet doesn’t entirely match... How is it that True Man Taiyi can employ the ans of the Supre True Buddha?"
The Dharma Form Buddhas manifesting the three Great Bodhisattvas now faced the silent Buddha with closed eyes, their faces no longer showed any calm composure, but were filled with shock and disbelief.
Among them, the Western Great Bodhisattva imdiately noticed the problem with the Buddha’s shadow in front, expressing anger and surprise:
"The four rules are sparse... This is fake!"
"How dare you defile the True Buddha!"
The other two Great Bodhisattvas also quickly noticed the flaw.
They should not have been fooled so easily, but seeing the opponent inexplicably use the Supre True Buddha’s Dharma montarily stunned them, causing them to overlook details. But reminded now, they quickly saw the differences.
In a fit of rage, they struck again.
The three of them activated Telepathy, their minds connected. Angrily executing, the four rules manifested, appearing to outsiders as countless Buddha’s Hands striking the silent Buddha shadow.
"So you couldn’t be fooled," Wang Ba said with a soft laugh when exposed, yet was not concerned.
He rely attempted to mimic the Great Bodhisattvas’ use of the four rules, but in reality, he had not integrated the four rules into the Dharma Lineage. Even with forced imitation, he captured only the form, not the essence. Being seen through by experts was, indeed, only natural.
