Chapter 1105 - 131: Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror!_2
The copper mirror, about a foot long, is encased in a bronze frame, with a surface as shiny as new. The frame is engraved with twisting and complex patterns, resembling eyes and the large letter "Kun."
Then, Ksitigarbha raised the copper mirror and shone it toward the Rakshasa.
"Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror?!"
Rakshasa's eyes slightly changed, as he had seen this Spiritual Treasure in the Vajra Temple's ancient records.
The book stated that the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror was forged from the Clear Heart Cold Copper at the Spirit Mountain's Eight Merits Pool bottom, inherently possessing the power to purify and calm the mind.
During the time of the Ancient Spirit Mountain, an Ancient Buddha used the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror to specifically purify the karmic forces entwining the heart spirit of Buddhist disciples.
No matter how profound the cultivation of the monk, or how well hidden the Heart Demon Karmic Force, it would be exposed if illuminated by this mirror.
Rakshasa never expected that those from the Pure Land of Bliss had just obtained the Ancient Spirit Mountain legacy and could already refine a Spiritual Treasure.
And it happened to be the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror that most restrained his Karmic Fire and Karma!
Realizing this, Rakshasa stomped his foot and soared into the sky, trying to evade the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror's power.
But how could Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva let him escape? With a flick of his palm, Rakshasa's image appeared in the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror.
The next moment, in the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror.
Initially, it was the three-headed, six-armed Asura form, but with a breath, the reflection in the mirror changed.
Beneath the crimson skin was entwined black and red karmic force, like flames, covering Rakshasa's entire body.
In his chest was a core formed of Karmic Fire, as large as a ball, constantly contracting and expanding.
Vaguely, one could see an elderly figure within the mixed red-black heart.
It was clearly Rakshasa, or rather the true appearance of the old monk from the Vajra Temple.
"Revealing Karma, manifesting one's true heart—it's indeed that old Thief Monk from the Vajra Temple."
Gu Ying Bodhisattva nodded slightly upon hearing this and then formed a hand seal, cold eyes beneath the golden mask, staring at the figure in the sky, shouting:
"Monk Fa Yun!"
"Today, you cannot escape calamity; why not surrender and follow us back to Spirit Mountain? Perhaps Mani Jiaye can spare you from the death penalty!"
Rakshasa turned his head, feeling the turmoil of the old monk within him, and roared, "Impossible!"
He knew well that under the illumination of the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror, the karmic forces within him were unstable, already revealing his nature.
As such, he no longer hesitated, floating in mid-air, with six arms waving, grabbing the nearby golden lotus flowers in hand.
Using karma forces to burn the small monks within them.
In the blink of an eye, the merit and will power were consumed by his Karmic Fire, turning into his karmic force, making his presence even more formidable.
"Such audacity!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva snorted coldly, lightly tapping the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror, reprimanding:
"Wisdom Light shines upon, subduing rage!"
"Monk Fa Yun, as a Buddhist Great Power, you could have attained the Spirit Mountain Fruit Position and become a Buddha, but you've been deluded by anger, why not return to enlightenment?"
He certainly wasn't truly trying to persuade Rakshasa to repent, but rather using words to agitate Rakshasa, aiming to make his heart spirit waver, allowing the mirror's power to bewilder Rakshasa's mind.
Rakshasa understood his intention, his heart spirit unmoved.
After devouring the surrounding golden lotuses, his power reached its peak.
The strength of his karmic might surpassed both Ksitigarbha and Gu Ying Bodhisattvas, making it difficult for even Luo Hou and the Buddha's envoys without Lotus Platform shelter to withstand.
"This old thing truly is terrifying!"
"Red Lotus Karma Fire is extremely evil, not something our merit and will power can withstand unless one possesses the Spirit Mountain Lotus Platform!"
Luo Hou, Zhou Guanwu, and others spoke, their eyes inevitably falling on the Arhat Chen Yuan, with unavoidable greed.
The more they understood the Spirit Mountain legacy, the more they comprehended the importance of the fruit position, with their inner greed uncontrollably expanding.
Chen Yuan naturally noticed their gaze; however, presently, his heart spirit is focused on manipulating the Lotus Platform Fruit Position, fully resisting Rakshasa's power.
Furthermore, with Ksitigarbha and Gu Ying Bodhisattvas by his side, he did not believe these Buddha's envoys would dare act.
It was then that Gu Ying coldly instructed, "All of you, step back some."
"Monk Fa Yun is a Heavenly Immortal Realm Great Power, his Buddhist Law already reaching the Ten Divine Power Realms, now having fallen into the Asura Path, his divine power stronger than before."
"None of you can handle him."
Beside him, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took a step forward, agreeing: "You go clear out the other Asura Karmic Barriers in the Vajra Realm, leave this to us and Gu Ying."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan looked at the other Arhats and took the lead towards the outer circle.
Zhou Guanwu, Yimu, and Earth Monk exchanged a glance and followed him onto the Lotus Platform, leaving together.
The other Arhats did the same, each heading in a direction to slay the Asuras.
Only Luo Hou and the envoys beneath the Ninth Grade Lotus Platform remained, protecting Gu Ying and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas.
Seeing this, the Rakshasa in the sky did not obstruct, but his six eyes subtly landed on Chen Yuan.
The aura of the "Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture", how could it be?
With General Sun Xushi's greed, could he actually pass this scripture onto others?
Or perhaps...
Before Rakshasa could look further, he saw Gu Ying already wielding a golden sword, charging towards him.
"Today your Vajra Realm will be utterly destroyed!"
"Prepare to die!"
Rakshasa's eyes focused, and his six arms instantly conjured six blood-colored weapons.
Knife, sword, pestle, mace, shield, fan, all swung madly at Gu Ying.
However, just as his divine power began to spread, he felt his inner heart spirit falter for a moment.
He immediately realized something was wrong, but by then Gu Ying had already reached him with the golden sword, leaving him no choice but to watch helplessly as the sword pierced through his chest.
Without further thought, Rakshasa gritted his teeth and continued to wield his weapons, forcing Gu Ying back, then swiftly darted to attack the ground.
The wound on his chest healed in the blink of an eye.
Gu Ying naturally wouldn't let him escape, holding the longsword as he relentlessly pursued.
"Ksitigarbha!"
There was no need to remind Gu Ying, as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once again used the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror, the very spiritual treasure he used previously to cause Rakshasa's heart spirit to falter, allowing Gu Ying to pierce him.
Yet, Ksitigarbha miscalculated.
Though the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror is indeed powerful, its effect is limited when Rakshasa is prepared for it.
Especially now that Rakshasa had devoured the surrounding Golden Lotus and the karma from the corpses of the fallen Asuras, even if Gu Ying pierced his heart, he could use the power of karma to recover.
Thus, after Rakshasa attacked, he was not affected by the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror, and struck down directly.
Karma instantly transformed into black and red flames, descending like a sheet upon Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's head.
"Even with the Silent Illumination Pure Industry Wisdom Light Mirror, what can a spiritual treasure do?!"
"I am here today only because of the Spirit Mountain Buddhas; our karma entangles us, as it does you all!"
Amidst the roar, the Red Lotus Karma Fire immediately enveloped Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Though not hot, it burned holes into the merit and will power from the lotus platform beneath him.
"This is bad!"
Without hesitating further, Ksitigarbha immediately directed the lotus platform to retreat from the range of the karmic fire.
Using merit and will power to extinguish the burning karmic fire.
Meanwhile, the three envoys beside him each employed their divine skills to help dispel the karmic fire together.
"Gu Ying, be cautious, the karmic fire diminishes the merit and will power, which will lower our cultivation."
Ksitigarbha warned, feeling somewhat distressed in his heart.
Though he and his envoys had gained considerable merit and will power from the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm this time, losing decades of cultivation in a single strike was painful nonetheless.
Upon hearing him, Gu Ying did not pause, his longsword dancing as he continued to duel Rakshasa.
At the same time, he did not forget to employ his own Charming Divine Power.
Yet at this moment, Rakshasa's heart spirit was stable, completely unaffected, and he grew more courageous with each battle.
Six weapons danced in a cross pattern, engaged in a fierce combat with Gu Ying, causing endless tremors within the Vajra Realm.
One after another, blood-red streams fell from the sky.
The battle's momentum was grand here, just as it was for Chen Yuan and the others elsewhere.
Having previously learned to cope with the Asuras, the four of them feared not the surrounding attacks.
While walking and pausing, Chen Yuan noticed they had arrived at Vajra Temple.
Just as he was about to bypass it, he suddenly felt his heart spirit move, as if guided by something.
Following his heart spirit's guidance, Chen Yuan's gaze fell upon a spot within Vajra Temple.
"There..."
After sensing carefully, he immediately realized that the thing attracting him was due to his cultivation of the "Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture".
"Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture..."
Chen Yuan paused in his heart, and immediately flew towards Vajra Temple.
The likes of Zhou Guanwu and the others naturally followed along, as did the Asuras.
They landed grandly within Vajra Temple.
Yimu glanced around, "Here... such heavy karmic barriers!"
