Monk Miaojue squatted in front of me, his hands constantly rubbing the Buddha's heart. His expression was one of excitement and disbelief. He muttered to himself, "I've finally gotten it. It's been more than a thousand years … It's been more than a thousand years. I've been waiting for so long."
More than a thousand years?
What does that mean?
This old man has lived for more than a thousand years?
I didn't understand what he was saying, but it didn't matter.
The most important thing right now was to seize the time to heal and restore my fighting strength. In my current state, if this monk Miaojue attacked me again, I wouldn't be able to withstand even one of his palms.
I took a deep breath and calmed my mind. Taking advantage of the fact that Miaojue wasn't paying attention to me, I tried to stabilize the Veins of the Heaven and restore my cultivation.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I closed my eyes, monk Miaojue's cold laughter resounded. "Zhou Yi, do you think I'll give you time to heal? Obediently hand over the Green Lamp Ancient Scroll, and I'll consider letting you die a quick death."
I snorted lightly. Miaojue and the monk had underestimated me.
Although I was seriously injured, I wasn't at the end of my rope yet.
I immediately summoned Tong Tong and the serpent spirit, signaling them to kill monk Miaojue on the spot.
Both of them were Yin souls, so their strength was somewhat limited in this place. However, Tong Tong's cultivation was close to that of a Yang Spirit, and the serpent spirit wasn't far behind.
With the two of them joining hands, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with monk Miaojue.
After receiving my order, the serpent spirit and Tong Tong immediately besieged monk Miaojue.
Seizing this opportunity, I placed my hand on the jade bracelet, and a large amount of dragon energy surged into my body.
I guided the dragon energy to move around the Veins of the Heaven to repair the previously damaged parts.
At the same time, I heard a dragon roar, but there was no other sound.
I was delighted. It seemed that Tong Tong and the serpent spirit had killed monk Miaojue.
At this time, I could completely cast aside all distracting thoughts and focus on healing my injuries.
Unexpectedly, monk Miaojue's voice resounded again. "You scoundrels are no match for me."
I was startled and opened my eyes to look. I saw Tong Tong and the serpent spirit lying on the ground, unconscious. I didn't know whether they were dead or alive. Miaojue, on the other hand, was completely unharmed and was walking towards the serpent spirit.
Even Tong and the Snake Spirit were no match for Monk Miao Jue. It seems that my previous speculation was wrong. This old guy has at least the cultivation of Yang Spirit!
Looking at his actions, it was obvious that he wanted to kill the Snake Spirit and Tong Tong. Although my injuries had yet to recover, I couldn't care less at this moment. I forcefully activated my Qi of the Way and took out the Xuanyuan Sword from my mouth.
Monk Miao Jue sensed my movement and turned around. With just a glance, his eyes lit up and he clicked his tongue. "This is … the Xuanyuan Sword?
Good, you actually have such an ancient divine artifact. However, you are not qualified to use it, so it's better if you hand it over to me for safekeeping. "
Then, he took the prayer beads off his chest and threw them at me.
I've seen this move before. He forced Chen Yangting, who was at the pinnacle of Glorious Past, to retreat with one strike.
Although I'm a Heavenly Seal Master, I was injured by his sneak attack, and my strength is far from what it used to be. If I were to take this attack, I'm afraid I won't be able to retaliate.
The prayer beads were surrounded by a bright Buddha light. They spun in the air and were about to reach me.
I didn't dare to take it head-on, but I had no other choice. I couldn't mobilize my Qi of the Way, so I could only use the Xuanyuan Sword to block the attack. I hoped that this ancient divine artifact could withstand it.
However, I had overestimated the Xuanyuan Sword. Although it was the leader of the ancient divine artifacts, it didn't have Qi of the Way, so it was only slightly stronger than an ordinary magic weapon. It couldn't withstand this attack.
When the prayer beads collided, I felt a tearing sensation in my chest. My body flew backward and fell hard on the ground. The Xuanyuan Sword also flew out of my hand.
At this moment, I couldn't muster any strength in my body. I could only watch Monk Miao Jue approach me step by step.
His steps were slow, but his eyes were full of murderous intent. There was no trace of Buddhist compassion.
I finally understood that he had persuaded me to enter the Spirit Lock Pagoda for the sake of the Buddha's heart.
He knew that he didn't have the kindness of Buddhism in his heart, so he couldn't pass the previous test. When I returned the prayer beads, he sneaked into the Spirit Lock Pagoda and launched a sneak attack when I was unprepared.
Monk Miao Jue was really scheming. It was a pity that I had only sensed that there was something wrong with him. Moreover, he only had the cultivation of Shi Yao. That was why I left the fatty outside to watch over him. I didn't think that he would have such a scheme in his heart.
Judging from his strength, it was likely that the fatty was already in a bad situation.
I didn't want to put the fatty in danger with me, so I didn't bring him inside. Who would have thought that this decision would harm him?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad. I clenched my teeth and tried to stand up. However, I was seriously injured by the previous attack, and I didn't have any strength left.
Monk Miao Jue quickly approached me again. This time, he didn't talk nonsense. He just grinned and pointed his finger at me.
At this time, a black mist suddenly rose in the surroundings. Then, a short figure appeared between me and Monk Miao Jue.
Sacrificial Evil Spirit!
He suddenly appeared. Could it be that he had already recovered his cultivation?
My throat moved. I wanted to call out to him, but the moment I opened my mouth, I felt a sweetness in my throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
He seemed to have sensed my movement, as he turned to look at me and asked, "How are your injuries?"
I waved my hand, indicating that it wasn't fatal.
He nodded and turned to look at Monk Miao Jue again.
Monk Miao Jue didn't move, but his eyes seemed to be pondering.
After a long time, he spoke. "Who are you?
Why do I feel a familiar aura from your body? "
The Sacrificial Evil Spirit slowly walked towards him. He didn't look angry, but his aura was much stronger than before.
The Sacrificial Evil Spirit said coldly as he walked, "You and I are from Nine Underworlds. I was forced to heal my injuries and didn't stop you from doing what you did in Nine Underworlds a thousand years ago. I didn't think that you would dare to attack him today. You are courting death."
After hearing that, Monk Miao Jue's body trembled. His eyes were filled with fear as he retreated. He stuttered, "It's … It's you."
After saying that, Monk Miao Jue pointed at me, then looked at the Sacrificial Evil Spirit and asked, "I have no grudges with you. Why do you want to protect him?
He has many treasures on him. After killing him, you and I can divide them. "
This Monk Miao Jue really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He still wanted to kill me and take my treasures. He didn't even know where he got the confidence to say that in front of the Sacrificial Evil Spirit.
After hearing that, the Sacrificial Evil Spirit's face turned gloomy. He said coldly, "You don't have the qualifications to know who he is.
It's really ridiculous for an ant to dream of ascending to the heavens. "
After saying that, the Sacrificial Evil Spirit disappeared and appeared in front of Monk Miao Jue in the blink of an eye.
Monk Miao Jue didn't even have time to react before he died. His body went limp and fell to the ground.
The Sacrificial Evil Spirit didn't intend to stop there. The shaman energy in his hand surged and he slapped Monk Miao Jue's corpse. In an instant, the corpse turned into dust and dissipated in the air.
After doing that, he turned around and pulled me up from the ground. He signaled me not to move.
Then, he extended his hand and touched my back. I instantly felt a warm current gushing into my body, repairing all the meridians that had been previously shattered.
Then, the warm current moved towards the Vein of the Heavens. After circulating a few times in the Vein of the Heavens, it calmed down.
In less than half an hour, the Vein of the Heavens had completely recovered.
I stood up and shook my body. Crackling sounds came from my body, giving me an indescribable feeling of comfort. My previous injuries had completely healed.
I quickly went in front of the Snake Spirit and Tong Tong to check on their condition.
They were currently unable to move. It was fortunate that they still had a breath left in them. It was just that they had been severely injured by Monk Miao Jue and had fainted.
It was fortunate that the Sacrificial Evil Spirit had appeared in time. Otherwise, the three of us wouldn't have been able to escape this calamity.
If Tong Tong wanted to recover, she would have to enter the jade bracelet and the Snake Spirit would have to fly back to my back.
However, the two of them were still unconscious due to their severe injuries. It would be difficult for them to wake up for a while.
I looked at the Sacrificial Evil Spirit. The method he used to repair my meridians was really powerful. It seemed that I could only ask him to help us.
Before I could open my mouth, the Sacrificial Evil Spirit nodded. He knew what I was thinking.
Then, he squatted down and placed his hands on Tong Tong's body. After three to five minutes, Tong Tong slowly opened her eyes.
At first, her eyes were blank. However, when she saw me, they regained their vigor. She anxiously asked about my injuries.
I rubbed her head to show her that I was alright. I asked her to return to the jade bracelet to heal her wounds.
She was bewildered and looked at the Snake Spirit with a worried face.
I told her about the Snake Spirit's situation and comforted her. Then, she felt reassured and returned to the jade bracelet.
The next step was to wake up the Snake Spirit.
The Sacrificial Evil Spirit stood up and stared at the Snake Spirit. His face was solemn.
I thought that something had happened to the Snake Spirit that made the Sacrificial Evil Spirit feel troubled. After I asked him about it, he didn't reply. He just shook his head and used the previous method to wake up the Snake Spirit.
As soon as the Snake Spirit woke up, he cursed Monk Miao Jue and coughed violently.
I told him that Monk Miao Jue had been killed. Only then did he stop cursing and fly back to my back.
From now on, the matter in the Spirit Sealing Tower had come to an end.
However, it was a pity that the other half of his Buddha's heart had perished together with Monk Miao Jue under the Sacrificial Evil Spirit's palm.
However, I didn't care too much about it. That thing was a Buddhist item, and I was a member of the Celestial Sect. That thing wasn't of much use to me. Now that I had lost it, it was Heaven's will.
At this moment, I was worried about the fatty. Although Monk Miao Jue hadn't mentioned him, I had prepared for the worst after witnessing his methods.
But if something bad happened to the fatty, how could I face Uncle Lin?
I anxiously followed the Sacrificial Evil Spirit out of the Spirit Sealing Tower. As soon as I got outside, I saw a person lying not far from the entrance. His body was wrapped in a light yellow barrier … It was the fatty.
I hurried forward to check on him.
Unexpectedly, before I could get close to him, I was blocked by the barrier around him.
Then, I realized that the fatty had seen through Monk Miao Jue's thoughts, and the two of them had fought.
When the fatty was in danger, he hid in his formation.
Although Monk Miao Jue was strong, the fatty's formation couldn't be underestimated. Monk Miao Jue couldn't kill the fatty, and he was worried about the situation inside the tower. As such, the fatty managed to escape.
