Qin Liuxi’s mind was troubled at the thought of Evil Buddha Siluo potentially gathering all his Buddha Bones to create a powerful move.
Now a single finger bone has allowed a new ghost to begin cultivation, even wounding her slightly. What happens if that despicable creature gathers all the Buddha Bones?
Wouldn’t that summon a dragon?
That’s a being from thousands of years ago, a powerful entity. In this era, where re mortals reign as emperors, not everyone cultivating to immortality or practicing magic, who could withstand it if that old creature’s Physical Body were to be reconstructed?
If the disaster of the past were to be repeated, the world would be dood, so what’s the point in continuing?
Thinking of this, she wanted to vent all her frustrations. Da Feng was simply ruled by imperial power, no one truly practiced immortal cultivation, so how could suddenly such a Buddha appear?
That’s completely absurd.
She was just a frail person who wished to live a quiet, peaceful life.
Qin Liuxi felt a bit disarrayed, wondering if she should find a hidden cave, bring the old creature along, and retreat to a Secret Realm?
Master Ci Yun noticed the changing expressions on Qin Liuxi’s face and said with a smile: "You need not worry too much. Since it has co to pass, let it be. Heaven has its own arrangents."
"Its arrangents are to have us powerless mortals face a great threat, how can I be calm? Master, you said it yourself, back then it took both Buddhist and Taoist Sects together to capture him, but what about now?"
Master Ci Yun replied: "The Buddhist and Taoist Sects are still here. If they could join forces once, they can do it again."
Qin Liuxi laughed: "You are naturally optimistic, that’s the Evil Buddha Siluo, equivalent to a great being, how can we compare?"
"We can," affird Master Ci Yun, looking at her. "Siluo was also just a Buddhist Practitioner who cultivated from being a mortal. Born deed as ominous, he wholeheartedly pursued Buddha to prove sothing to the world..."
"The fact proves, he really is ominous!" Qin Liuxi interjected. "He’s truly evil to the core!"
Master Ci Yun: "!"
He shook his head helplessly: "What I ant to say was, he also cultivated from a mortal, not a god or immortal, even if he were, there are the Immortal Execution Platform and God-slaying Sword."
"Master, we are in the mortal world, you and I are both mortals, can we not discuss such ethereal things?" Qin Liuxi couldn’t help but laugh.
Master Ci Yun with a smile at the corner of his mouth: "You call the ways of Buddha and Dao ethereal, yet how do you explain the prowess you possess? Not to ntion ordinary people, even your fellow sect mbers and seniors in Mystic Sect, how many can compare to you? Clearly, the path of cultivation depends one on practice, two on understanding. With your strong comprehension, naturally, you exceed others."
"And about immortals, not to ntion the Divine from your Taoist Sect, The Three Pure Ones, let’s talk about generations of disciples like Grandmaster Zhang Daoling and Saint Emperor Guan who were mortals that cultivated to true fruition and ascended to immortality. Are these persons ethereal as well?"
Qin Liuxi sheepishly said, "Master truly has profound knowledge and understands much about my Taoist Sect."
"Buddhism and Daoism are not separate, I just have so knowledge," Master Ci Yun said with a gentle smile. "To continue our earlier conversation, you know this is the mortal world. If immortals descend, Heavenly Dao will necessarily suppress their Divine Powers to ensure fairness. Otherwise, if an immortal arrives in the mortal world, with just a flick, the mortal realm could be annihilated instantly, would that not be unjust? By the sa logic, even if Siluo reassembles his Physical Body with all Buddha Bones, Heavenly Dao will weaken his power to balance with the mortal realm."
Qin Liuxi pointed to the sky: "You believe in the Heavenly Dao? If it were good, it wouldn’t let such despicable beings cause trouble for all living things."
Rumble, rumble.
Outside, thunder suddenly sounded, and the sky darkened.
Qin Liuxi: "..."
See, you can’t even speak a bit of ill without consequences!
Master Ci Yun looked at her like watching a mischievous junior and said: "Don’t worry needlessly. Not to ntion, over the past years, six of the nine major Buddhist temples have been destroyed, and it’s still unknown where the remaining Buddha Bones are located. Whether he can gather them again is uncertain, and we will also be vigilant and search for his whereabouts."
"Gathering even half is enough to overwhelm us," Qin Liuxi muttered.
Thinking this way, she felt the Buddha Bone at her waist was like a hot potato; if that damned thing found out she had a finger bone, would it co to kill her imdiately?
Old Taoist, this task is truly a major loss.
One golden roof is not worth taking this risk!
And as for Master Ci Yun’s claim that Heavenly Dao is reliable, she didn’t buy it, still thinking that fleeing was the best strategy.
With this thought, Qin Liuxi asked him, "Master, is there a place in this world where one can find peace?"
"What is a place of peace? My holand is wherever my heart finds tranquility," Master Ci Yun, seeming to see through her thoughts, said with a smile: "You are the luminance of Mystic Sect, and it’s your undeniable duty to vanquish evil on the Righteous Path."
Qin Liuxi imdiately raised her hand and said, "Master, you overestimate . I am really just a re daughter of a criminal official, fallen from grace, always ready to be married off by my family, not one to carry the flag."
She wasn’t afraid to reveal her identity and origins in front of Ci Yun; after all, he was aware of her true nature.
"You possess rit..."
"I could destroy my own cultivation!"
rit was less important than surviving!
She might as well be a sheltered young lady who never leaves the house.
Master Ci Yun: "!"
He could no longer utter the brainwashing words of Buddhist Sect.
Pitter-patter.
Suddenly, large raindrops began to fall outside.
Master Ci Yun, finding a good opportunity to change the subject, said, "It’s started to rain."
Qin Liuxi looked outside and said, "Clouds and rain, it will stop soon."
The topic returned to the Evil Buddha Siluo: "Speaking of which, our current troubles stem from the neglect of duties in the underworld. Our predecessors captured this evil creature and locked it up for thousands of years, allowing it to escape. They only know how to collect ingots, nibble on candles, and shirk their duties, which is truly hateful; they aren’t even afraid of the ancestors scolding them by pointing at their noses."
Master Ci Yun said, "The Underworld is also troubled by this matter now, with souls even having to queue for reincarnation, causing many Lonely Souls to wander in the human world. If Buqiu sees them, he might as well guide a few."
With a sullen tone, Qin Liuxi responded, "Oh," and took out the Buddha Bone from her waist, saying, "Then, in your opinion, how should I deal with this? Maybe, I should just burn it!"
As she spoke, she ford a gesture with her hand, and a cluster of bright, blood-red Karmic Fire ignited at her fingertips.
Master Ci Yun’s eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand, saying, "Buqiu, don’t play with fire."
There was a hint of nervousness and trembling in his tone.
Qin Liuxi tilted her head, "I’m not playing; I’ll just burn it, and see what grand sche it can scarcely conjure up if it cannot gather the parts." Watching the flickering flas, a spark of inspiration flashed across her mind, and turning her gaze, she said, "But you’re right. Playing with fire is bad."
She then tucked the Buddha Bone back at her waist.
Master Ci Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As the saying goes, ’the devil towers a foot higher than the Dao, but the Dao always triumphs over the devil, and evil cannot prevail against the righteous.’ You, just calmly continue your Dao and your cultivation, all is predestined."
