"Boom!"
After a soul-shaking explosion, a hundred-meter-tall mountain appeared on the ground of the Dragon Garden. It brought with it an aura that could suppress all living things and sent all the cultivators surrounding Mei Xue flying.
Sitting under the bodhi tree, Mei Xue picked up a flower and smiled.
From this mountain that appeared out of thin air, countless golden light swords appeared out of thin air. Each light sword had countless ancient Sanskrit characters flowing on it. This was the embodiment of Buddhist light, the manifestation of the profound meaning of Buddhist mantras.
In the past, Mei Xue had only used this power when he ate the Fruit of Immeasurable Wisdom for the first time on the Yellow Springs Path. But now, with his bodhi heart, he could almost perfectly recreate that scene on the Yellow Springs Path.
With bodhi in the heart, all things would appear on their own. This was the secret of Buddhist magic. Unlike immortal arts that required one to cultivate step by step, Buddhism placed more emphasis on the word "enlightenment".
As long as one comprehended it, the divine ability would appear on its own. Otherwise, even if one studied the Buddhist scriptures a million times and possessed a peerless bloodline, they wouldn't be able to comprehend it.
Thus, when the eminent monks of Buddhism accepted disciples, they didn't test them based on their aptitude or talent. Instead, they placed more emphasis on fate.
This was the origin of the Buddha's teachings. Mei Xue, who possessed the root of wisdom and possessed the Great Boundless Wisdom Sword, a supreme treasure of the Buddhist Sect, was undoubtedly the person whom the Buddhist Sect wanted to help the most.
"What's that?!"
"Oh no, dodge it!"
"Get out of the way! This is a Buddhist divine ability!"
The more knowledgeable cultivators immediately recognized the origin of these swords of light. Those ancient Sanskrit characters were Buddhist mantras. Judging from their aura, they were probably facing a powerful Buddhist practitioner.
However, this didn't make their greed disappear. Instead, it stirred up the darkest side of their hearts.
This was the Buddhist sect! Weren't they just big baldies who cut off their own flesh to feed eagles?
The Buddhist sect's divine abilities had always focused on strong defense and a peaceful mind. Under normal circumstances, no one would want to fight with these smelly and tough rocks.
But the current situation was that the Buddhist disciple couldn't move. No matter what the reason was, he could only stand there and accept their attacks.
In such a favorable situation, the right time, the right place, and the right people were all on their side. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to torture and kill a Buddhist kid? With so many people on their side, they would be able to overwhelm him to death.
"That's right, there's nothing to fear."
"We are the victors. Kill him!"
"The majority is the absolute power."
In the shadows in the distance, Hei Lang used a low voice to provoke the darkest side of the group of cultivators.
Humans were born with greed, and once these ugly desires were gathered together, even Buddha would not be able to do anything about it.
Human nature was evil, and there was no creature uglier than humans in the world.
The weak were prey to the strong, plundering, and slaughtering. This was the way of humans. This was the strongest monster that occupied the position of the ruler of the Zhu Hai Mountain Range.
"Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill! "
Stimulated by Hei Lang's hint, the cultivators each took out their trump cards, circled around the huge mountain that was in the way, and charged towards Mei Xue from all directions.
Cold sword gleams.
Flames that burned the earth.
Black iron arrows that whistled through the air.
Strange plants that crawled out from the earth with their mouths wide open.
In the eyes of these cultivators, there was no mercy from the Buddhist Sect, and they didn't have the self-awareness to bully the weak. In their eyes, the immobile Mei Xue was a persimmon that was about to be squashed, a lamb that could only use her defensive sacred art to wait for the slaughter.
Unfortunately, they were wrong, very wrong.
Because the immobile Mei Xue was the most terrifying Mei Xue.
Because they couldn't move, they had no other choice.
Since they couldn't move, they had to use all their strength to deal the most terrifying blow to their enemies, so that they wouldn't have the chance to invade their side and harm the girl in their arms.
Not moving represented the real killing intent, a state of full power without any room for mercy.
With Bodhi in the heart and the sword of wisdom in the body, there was great terror in the great mercy. Mei Xue's current state of mind unintentionally matched the posture of a Buddhist Vajra.
Acalanatha, also known as the Immovable Bodhisattva, meant the Immovable Venerable or Immovable Venerable. Mortals called them "Acalanatha", also known as the Immovable Messenger.
"Immovable" meant a vow, it meant that the merciful heart was firm and unshakable. The "bright" was the light of wisdom, and the "king" was the one who controlled all phenomena.
The king of all Acalanatha, the leader of the five Acalanathas, the central Vairocana Buddha was the self-nature incarnation, the Vajra Paramita Bodhisattva was the righteous incarnation, and the Acalanatha was the teaching incarnation.
In the Buddhist scriptures, this Acalanatha was the Acalanatha who received the teachings of Vairocana Vairocana, who showed his anger and subdued all demons. He was regarded as the incarnation or messenger of Vairocana.
Among the five Acalanatha, the Acalanatha was the center. His vow was, "Those who see my body will have the heart of Bodhi, those who hear my name will break away from evil and cultivate good, those who hear my dharma will obtain great wisdom, and those who know my heart will become Buddha."
The sword in the Acalanatha's hand was the sword of wisdom, and it had a lot of karma with Mei Xue's Great Zizai Wisdom Sword. The anger born from the great mercy of the Acalanatha was the weapon used to cut down all evil.
How ridiculous it was to regard the motionless Mei Xue as a prey to be slaughtered.
"Chi!" Mei Xue stretched out her index finger, and drew the first word of the Buddhist Six Syllables in the air.
The hundred-meter-tall mountain began to rise at a terrifying speed, corresponding to the finger that Mei Xue stretched out.
This finger was the index finger.
Two hundred meters, three hundred meters, four hundred meters … Every time the mountain that appeared out of thin air increased or decreased by a hundred meters, the speed of the cultivators charging towards Mei Xue became slower and slower. From the initial speed of charging like the wind to the speed of a turtle, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
"What's going on? My body is getting heavier!"
"So heavy, so heavy."
"There's something on my shoulder, what is this thing?"
The cultivators, who were suppressed by the invisible weight, all revealed shocked expressions. It was as if there was a mountain on their shoulders, and every movement became incomparably slow.
"Ma." Mei Xue stretched out her second finger, this time it was the middle finger.
"Boom!"
Another mountain appeared out of thin air, and at the same time, the weight on the invaders doubled.
"Cough!" Someone began to vomit blood, and fell to the ground in shock.
"It's those mountains, smash them!"
Soon, someone connected the dots to the source of Mei Xue's divine ability, and so the many blade lights and sword shadows that were originally aimed at Mei Xue all shot towards the two mountains.
If it was an ordinary mountain, it would have instantly crumbled under such a concentrated attack, and its bones would have been crushed.
However, these were the mountains manifested by Mei Xue's Five Worldly Fingers, the manifestation of the supreme divine ability of the Buddhist Path. Even the terrifying Giant of Sin on the Yellow Springs Path could not break free from its shackles.
An attack of this level was not even worth mentioning.
"Ma."
Mei Xue stretched out her third finger, and another mountain fell. This time, it was the ring finger.
This time, half of the invading cultivators began to vomit blood. Their faces were pale as they looked at the three mountains that were about to reach the clouds, and they all revealed expressions of fear.
No matter how crazy and reckless they were, when faced with this unparalleled divine ability, they finally knew that things were not looking good.
"Pa!"
Mei Xue stretched out her fourth finger, and the pinky mountain was like the straw that broke the camel's back, and almost all the invading cultivators coughed up blood.
Using the first mountain as the base, each additional mountain was the equivalent of an additional mountain's power to suppress the group of cultivators. Due to the emergence of all four mountains, the cultivators who had obtained the power of the jadedragon could no longer even stand up.
However, Mei Xue did not stop.
Because at this moment, the Horizon Five Fingers he was using wasn't just to suppress the enemy. He, who had transformed into the Immovable Wisdom King's state of mind, was currently using his anger to subdue all demons.
"Mi."
The last mountain representing the Five Worldly Fingers descended, completely cutting off the path of retreat of the cultivators controlled by the black wolves. The appearance of all five mountains represented the true form of the Five Worldly Fingers.
"Ma!"
The last word of the six-word mantra fell, and the five huge mountains transformed into the shape of a finger, suppressing all the cultivators who still had a sliver of hope into the ground.
Then, there was no then. A few inaudible sounds of bones and flesh cracking came from the bottom of the mountain, and then one green light after another flew towards Mei Xue under the bodhi tree.
The Four Seasons Dragon Jade happily accepted the power of its companions, and it began to grow at an unprecedented speed.
"Fierce Poison", "Golden Tooth", "Misty Wind", and "Forest Sea" were devoured by the Four Seasons Dragon Jade one after another, and the aura of summer appeared to Mei Xue.
The sun, the beach, the boundless forest, and the lush greenery — this was the most passionate and healthy appearance of life, the color that belonged to "summer" in the cycle of the four seasons.
"Those pieces of trash, I gave them away for nothing."
Black Wolf hid in the farthest corner of the garden, and he couldn't help but curse when he saw the puppet army completely annihilated.
"The target's information was wrong, and we are powerless. Let's go, gather more people, and then come back to kill him."
"There's no other way, I don't believe that I can't kill this immobile brat. I, Black Wolf, have never suffered such a big loss before." Black Wolf looked at the five huge mountains, and his teeth itched with hatred.
A gentleman's revenge was never too late. As long as he gathered enough people, these five mountains definitely wouldn't be able to stop his ferocious attack.
However, neither Black Wolf nor Shadow Wolf noticed that a small white cloud had appeared above their heads, and their conversation was heard by Mei Xue, who was sitting under the bodhi tree.
So the culprits were these two people. No wonder she felt that something was wrong.
From the beginning of the battle, Mei Xue knew that there were two people in that corner, but because they didn't seem to be participating in the attack, Mei Xue had originally planned to let them go.
At the end of the day, Mei Xue didn't like killing.
If it wasn't to protect the girl in his arms, he would never have taken the initiative to comprehend the Posture of Wisdom King.
Among the many Wisdom Kings of Buddhism, only the Posture of Wisdom King couldn't resist killing.
Because the Posture of Wisdom King was the Wisdom King that subdued all demons in anger, and it was the Posture of Vairocana that killed all evil.
As the saying goes, all Buddhas have fire. Buddhist monks who comprehended the Posture of Wisdom King would inevitably subdue dragons and tigers, and kill evil demons as their duty.
Using great compassion to transform into the Posture of Wisdom King, it was a great Dao that very few people in Buddhism could comprehend.
Through the vision of the absolute beginning, he finally found the source of this unexpected disaster. How could Mei Xue let the enemy slip away from under his eyes?
After entering the Posture of Wisdom King, he couldn't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes, let alone this kind of fatal threat.
Five Fingers Horizon, move again!
Five fingers spread out, Mei Xue slightly raised his wrist.
"Rumble!"
Under the dumbfounded eyes of Hei Lang and Shadow Wolf, the five mountains, which were nearly a thousand meters tall, were lifted into the sky by some kind of supreme force.
This was the terror of the Buddhist Path's supreme divine ability. The mountain that weighed millions and millions of tons in the eyes of others was as light as a feather in Mei Xue's hands. This was because this was the supreme divine ability formed from his finger, and it represented the supreme profundity of the Buddhist Path's mighty power.
Turning one's hand into a mountain, suppressing the heaven and earth; under the Five Fingers Mountain, no one could escape!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Five consecutive earth-shaking explosions, Hei Lang and Shadow Wolf didn't even have time to escape, and were forcibly suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain.
Looking at the five mountains in the distance, Mei Xue slowly closed his five fingers.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Hei Lang, who was struggling for his life, exploded with unprecedented strength. The black immortal halo suddenly expanded, and forcibly created a small space under the Five Fingers Mountain.
"Wait for me to save you."
Shadow Wolf, who hadn't shown himself from start to finish, looked anxiously at Hei Lang, who was crushed to death under the Five Fingers Mountain. His body turned into a black shadow, and he tried to escape from the range of the Five Fingers Mountain.
However, the Shadow Evasion divine power, which had always been successful in the past, was ineffective under the Five Fingers Mountain.
Shadow Wolf, who was hiding in Hei Lang's shadow, looked at the huge mountains in fear. He discovered that no matter how many times he used the Shadow Evasion, he couldn't move even a meter away.
"Quick, Shadow Wolf, I can't hold on any longer."
Hei Lang was still hoping for Shadow Wolf to save him, and he completely didn't notice the despair in Shadow Wolf's eyes.
"Maha … Limitless …" Mei Xue's fingers closed.
Darkness descended. First, Hei Lang's immortal halo exploded with a "pa" sound, and half of Shadow Wolf's body was paralyzed by the explosion. Then, a boundless force descended, and this pair of brothers died together.
This wasn't the original use of the Five Fingers World Edge. Most Buddhist divine powers would leave a trace of life. Even if the Great Sage of the Demon Race was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, he wouldn't be crushed to death like this.
However, the current Mei Xue wasn't the Mei Xue who was on the road to the Yellow Springs. He had transformed into the Unmovable King, and he was using the great power of anger to subdue all demons.
Encountering Mei Xue in this state could be said to be Hei Lang and Shadow Wolf's biggest mistake.
If it wasn't for the fact that they had gone overboard and wanted to obtain the dragon jade from Mei Xue and the unconscious girl by hook or by crook, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Two green specks of light that were even more dazzling than all of the dragon jades before flew out from the bottom of the Five Finger Mountain, and then flew into Mei Xue's body like swallows returning home.
These were the number 37 dragon jade, the "Demon Seed", and number 33 dragon jade, the "Shadow". After absorbing these two dragon jades, Mei Xue's Four Seasons Dragon Jade suddenly emitted a brilliant light like never before. The second season of spring, summer, autumn, and winter was completely open to Mei Xue.
It was the vibrant aura of summer, the beautiful season after spring, the season of growth of all living things, the season of autumn, the season of harvest, and the season of autumn.
After harvesting the fruits of summer, the life force radiating from Mei Xue's body became more abundant, and more vibrant. The girl in his arms also looked healthier, and it was almost impossible to tell that her life was hanging by a thread not long ago.
"Phew."
After seeing through [The Beginning] that all the dangerous seedlings had disappeared, Mei Xue heaved a sigh of relief, and he recovered from the Unmovable King's Posture.
The light of the Great Unrestrained Wisdom Sword erected in front of him became dim, and Mei Xue knew where this rare moment of enlightenment came from.
This magical wisdom sword seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally guiding him towards the path of Buddhism. It was like this when he was with Great Master Hui Guo, and it was also like this on the Yellow Springs Road. Today, it did not hesitate to use its precious golden light to help him understand the mysteries of the Bodhi Heart and the Unmovable King's Posture.
If not for this Great Unrestrained Wisdom Sword, he would not have been able to understand the Bodhi Heart at this crucial moment.
It seemed like Reverend Hui Guo and the eminent Buddhist monks he had met were right. He was indeed fated with Buddhism. After eating the two Fruit of Immeasurable Wisdom, even the root of wisdom, which he did not have before, seemed to have appeared naturally.
However, Mei Xue still felt that now was not the time for him to set foot on the path of Buddhism.
So even though he understood the Bodhi Heart and the Unmovable King's Posture with the help of the Great Unrestrained Wisdom Sword, he still maintained his original heart.
"I still have many things to do, so I will not go to Buddhism."
Putting away the Great Unrestrained Wisdom Sword, Mei Xue smiled slightly, and then reached out his hand to begin the last step of the Bodhi Heart.
Streams of vitality gathered around the Bodhi Tree, and finally formed a transparent golden fruit in Mei Xue's hand. This was the last step of the Path of Withering Glory, and it was a special fruit obtained by Mei Xue, who had become an Ancient Bodhi Tree.
The Ancient Bodhi Tree was dead, but it left behind a Bodhi Fruit that symbolized hope and vitality. This was also the last step of the treatment for the girl.
Although it did not have the miraculous power of the Infinite Wisdom Fruit, the vitality contained in this golden fruit was the last step of the treatment for the girl.
"Eat this well." Placing the golden Bodhi Fruit in front of the unconscious girl's lips, Mei Xue said carefully.
"..." The unconscious girl did not move, and only slept quietly.
"This …" Mei Xue hesitated for a moment, and then reached out her hand to separate the girl's cherry lips. She then pressed the fruit that represented the life essence of the Ancient Bodhi Tree into the girl's mouth.
Unconsciously, the girl gently bit Mei Xue's finger, and then ate the golden fruit that contained the essence of his life. She let out a soft and cute sound.
"Ah …"
Mei Xue let out a sigh of relief, and withdrew his finger from the girl's lips. There were still transparent silver threads and the girl's unique fragrance.
