Chapter 1107 - 132: Acquiring the Scripture, Breaking the Vajra! (Part 2)
"Vajra Temple is the stronghold of Monk Fa Yun, where the karma within is dense, not something an ordinary person can intrude upon."
"You knew there was danger inside?"
"Yimu had already warned him before, but he insisted on going alone. If he dies, he deserves it."
Seeing this, Yimu also frowned, "Earth Monk, with an Arhat dead now, Mani Jiaye might get angry."
Earth Monk glanced at him and sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
"Haven't you been coveting Chen Yuan's Lotus Platform?"
"Coveting is one thing, but not now."
Saying this, Yimu killed an Asura and headed straight into the depths of Vajra Temple, leaving behind a remark:
"Spirit Mountain has just appeared to the world; it's not suitable for any casualties, or neither of us will escape the blame."
Earth Monk was about to speak to stop him when Zhou Guanwu beside them said, "Let him go."
He turned around, knocked an Asura flying with his spear, and continued, "Yimu has been by Mani Jiaye's side for many years; he knows that person's mind best."
Earth Monk thought for a moment and then let it go, only chuckling softly, "If he dies here, he can only blame his own misfortune."
"Brother Zhou, don't you also wish for his death?"
While Zhou Guanwu fought with the Asuras, he transmitted his voice coldly:
"Even if he dies, that Lotus Platform won't be ours."
"There will always be a chance, won't there?"
"I believe Spirit Mountain is fair, and Mani Jiaye is fair."
"But don't forget, there are two Ancient Buddhas on Spirit Mountain, and Ancient Buddha Fu Chen is still there!"
Earth Monk was slightly stunned, turned to him, and with a slightly changed expression asked, "Are you saying..."
"Ancient Buddha Fu Chen wants to intervene in the distribution of the Lotus Platform on Spirit Mountain?"
"A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers; the maxim of the Tianyuan Continent applies equally on Taizhou Mountain!"
Then, Zhou Guanwu ignored Earth Monk and focused on clearing the surrounding Asuras.
Even without a Lotus Platform in his possession, he had made considerable progress during his exploration of the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm.
Especially with the blessing of Merit and Will Power, his Buddhist Path had reached the Fifth Divine Power Realm.
His strength was much better than when he was previously on the Tianyuan Continent.
However, Zhou Guanwu knew clearly that his current strength was not even comparable to Chen Yi, and Chen Yuan had already surpassed him.
Seeking revenge against Chen Yi was simply a naive delusion.
"But just wait; sooner or later, I will make you regret it!"
While Zhou Guanwu, Earth Monk, and Yimu were dispersing, Chen Yuan had already walked out of the Big Formation.
He appeared the same as before, except that an ancient-styled book with gold foil now appeared in his mind.
Inscribed on it was the "Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture"!
Chen Yuan quickly cross-referenced the contents of the Human World Path cultivation technique and confirmed that the content on it was indeed identical to the scripture he received from Mani Jiaye.
Aside from the Human World Path, the other five path techniques were also clear and visible.
Nevertheless, Chen Yuan could not help but feel puzzled.
"Why is the Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture here?"
"Did Mani Jiaye's cultivation technique also originate from this place?"
Earlier he remembered Fu Chen telling him that the Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture was plundered by the Pure Land of Bliss from the Vajra Realm.
Could it be that Vajra Temple retained a copy?
Chen Yuan didn't know, but obtaining the "Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture" unexpectedly was a good thing for him.
In this way, he wouldn't need to find Mani Jiaye... or still would.
At least until he and Spirit Mountain had fallen out, it was still necessary to seek out Mani Jiaye.
Chen Yuan also remembered what Fu Chen had previously said—
Among the Three Divine Paths and Three Evil Paths, the difficulty of cultivation varies, and the order requires some consideration.
For instance, the Human World Path he learned deviates from his Absolute Blade Inheritance, making the Three Evil Paths the most suitable choice.
The outcome matched what Fu Chen had said.
If he hadn't gained something in the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm in recent days, he might not have succeeded in entering the Human World Path by now.
"Obtaining this scripture is indeed fortunate, as it allows me to compare it with the cultivation technique taught by Mani Jiaye."
The mind of caution should never be absent.
Especially now, within Spirit Mountain, and especially after Fu Chen's warning.
Chen Yuan kept it in mind.
At that moment, Yimu flitted to his side, glanced at him, and then surveyed the surroundings.
"Nothing happened, right? Lord Arhat Buddha."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, "There's a big formation, I'm here to take a look."
He didn't say if he gained anything, nor did he say he didn't.
Given his understanding of people like Yimu, saying or not saying anything would arouse suspicion, so he might as well let it be.
After a simple sentence, Chen Yuan walked outside.
Yimu frowned and blocked his way.
Chen Yuan gripped the knife handle with one hand and glanced at him sideways, "What?"
Yimu's gaze swept over the Sixth Grade Lotus Platform beneath his feet, then bowed deeply:
"Arhat Buddha, if you have any orders in the future, please do not hesitate to speak, I will do my utmost."
Chen Yuan paused, manipulated the Sixth Grade Lotus Platform, and flickered away: "That's best."
Yimu watched him leave, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes, and then followed him out of the dense forest.
What neither of them noticed was that the big formation that previously covered the dense forest quietly dissipated.
It was as if it had never been set up.
Just as Chen Yuan left the Vajra Temple, a scream came from the sky in the distance:
"Ksitigarbha, Gu Ying, you—wait and see!"
It was seen that Monk Fa Yun, with three heads and six arms, had two heads torn off and three arms, his whole body bleeding as he headed toward the realm's exit.
Gu Ying Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chased closely behind, not forgetting to command:
"You all stay here and clear out all the Asuras!"
Chen Yuan frowned slightly, not having expected that in such a short time, Gu Ying and Ksitigarbha would have severely injured Monk Fa Yun.
One must know that he was a great power of the Ten Divine Power Realms.
From this encounter, he clearly understood how powerful the Bodhisattvas were with the Ninth Grade Lotus Platform.
After watching for a while, Chen Yuan waved towards Zhou Guanwu, Earth Monk, and Yimu.
Once they all gathered at the Lotus Platform, they charged towards the distant Asuras.
Yimu casually remarked, "Gu Ying Bodhisattva and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's power is truly terrifying."
"Is this the blessing of the Lotus Platform?"
Zhou Guanwu heard the implication and snorted: "The blessing of the Lotus Platform is one aspect, what's more important is having strength that matches it."
"Otherwise, even if the Lotus Platform were given to us, we wouldn't be able to exert its true power."
"You are right..."
...
Just as the two Bodhisattvas from Spirit Mountain were slaughtering the Asuras in the Vajra Realm, Haoran Sword Master also arrived at the Weak Water Realm with Lei Jingming.
By this time, there were significantly more people in the Weak Water Realm than before.
Most were some realm patriarchs who couldn't resist visiting Daoist Zhao Muzi after Spirit Mountain's appearance.
But the answer they received was the same as before—they temporarily had no intention of taking action against Spirit Mountain.
Moreover, this time Zhao Muzi spoke candidly: "I believe you have all seen the previous affair of the impoverished Daoist and Yin Yin appearing to offer congratulations."
"Therefore, temporarily not opposing Spirit Mountain is not a decision made by the impoverished alone, but a unanimous view among us."
"As for the reason—it's simple, the emergence of Spirit Mountain, regardless of who controls it, is a good thing for many realms of Taizhou Mountain."
Such an answer naturally did not satisfy the visitors.
But their power was far inferior to Spirit Mountain's, making it impossible for them to resist.
Upon hearing this, Haoran Sword Master led Lei Jingming forward and snorted:
"Didn't Mani Jiaye already say earlier? All past grievances are written off."
"If he can do it, what are you worried about?"
"If he can't do it, there's no need for you to speak up, Xunwang Heaven's Daoists will uphold justice for us."
The crowd was momentarily stunned, then understood, and a smile reappeared on their faces:
"Indeed, Haoran Sword Master sees things clearly, we were being shortsighted."
"You're not being shortsighted, you're just scared."
Haoran Sword Master snorted, making these powerful patriarchs from various realms show embarrassed smiles.
"Alright, return to where you came from, don't interfere with us welcoming our disciples and descendants."
Seeing this, the crowd then bowed to Daoist Zhao Muzi and the others and departed one by one.
After they all left, Haoran Sword Master stepped forward, bowed, and sent a sound transmission:
"I apologize for coming abruptly and hope Daoist Zhao can forgive me."
Zhao Muzi was well aware of his purpose, nodded slightly, and said, "In some days, Chen Yi and others will come out, and you can discuss directly with him then."
Haoran Sword Master smiled, "Thank you, Daoist Zhao..."
