Elder Shao was also startled by the sound of Buddhist chanting and walked to the window stroking his beard to observe.
"Ssss—"
Elder Shao suddenly took a sharp breath: "Could it be?"
Amina, Mu Dan, Shen Qionglin, and others gathered here involuntarily pricked up their ears.
But this Artifact Refining Master from the Immortal Realm loved to speak in half sentences and only gave a "could it be" without further explanation, leaving them anxious and sweating.
After a moment.
The golden light around the Pillar Blade Beast retracted, followed by a somewhat suffocating three seconds of silence, then suddenly, a massive wave of golden light erupted around the Pillar Blade Beast's huge body.
The giant wave pushed away countless Blade Beasts but did not harm them.
Golden light appeared on the back of the Pillar Blade Beast, seemingly about to condense into a seated Buddha, but just as the Buddha's outline appeared, it flickered several times and then exploded, transforming into golden light absorbed by the Pillar Blade Beast's body.
Elder Shao exclaimed, "Wang Zheng's Buddhist attainments are so profound? This, this clearly is the sign of a Buddhist practitioner achieving Tao! Could he be trying to achieve immortality through the Buddhist Law?"
Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo exchanged a glance.
Wu Man murmured, "Master... if I guessed correctly, the teacher shouldn't be cultivating Buddhism and achieving Tao with the main body."
Zheng Shiduo scratched his head: "And everyone knows that my brother Wang's Buddhist Law isn't particularly profound, his proficiency is far inferior to his Great Demon Skill."
Elder Shao: ...
The old man suddenly realized that he knew very little about his disciple, who had full talent in Artifact Refining.
Wang Jixuan's voice suddenly echoed here:
"Try to bring over some strong-willed people... is there a nearby planet with inhabitants?"
"Yes, teacher."
"What's the population, can they cooperate with us?"
Wu Man quickly replied: "A member of the alliance, this Pillar Blade Beast is here to attack this planet, with over ten billion inhabitants, similar in race to Earth's humans."
"Good, I'll lead the Blade Beast Group there, I'll impart a section of Buddhist Scripture for you to recite to everyone."
Wang Jixuan instructed:
"Explain well to them, but don't reveal I'm here.
"Hei Yao's group may have ties with the Dark Sect, we must be cautious."
"Okay!"
"The plan is ready," Mu Dan shouted from the side, "I'll command it, in two hours we can broadcast across the entire planet."
Wang Jixuan responded.
Wu Man wasn't embarrassed either.
Over eighty years of Master Wang cultiviating and recuperating in Cloud City, Wu Man had long become accustomed to Mu Dan's efficiency and assertiveness.
Elder Shao suddenly asked, "You intend to use the Buddhist Incense Fire Condensing Spirit Method?"
"Yes, teacher," Wang Jixuan replied.
"It's actually unnecessary," Elder Shao said seriously, "True experts from the Buddhist sect do not cultivate using this method, the experts cultivated from this method, the Heavenly Immortal is the pinnacle, and its cultivation difficulty is not much lower than normal cultivation..."
"I use an Alien Soul to tinker with this method."
Wang Jixuan chuckled:
"Please rest assured, teacher, I am aware, my self's primordial spirit naturally follows the Great Path of cultivation and won't be greedy for such trivial methods."
"Hmm, as long as you're aware, go about your business."
Elder Shao waved his hand, indicating Wang Jixuan didn't need to explain further via transmission.
However, the more Elder Shao pondered, the more he felt something was amiss.
He had certainly noticed Wang Jixuan's Soul Transformation Technique previously, even asking about it specifically, knowing it came from a Magic Method titled "Dragon Python Swallowing Sky Technique," which had similarities with the once renowned "True Dragon Nine Transformations" of the Immortal Realm, suspected to be its precursor.
But it is a Devil Skill.
Although not an evil Devil Skill that devours living souls, it also relies on devouring Beast Souls to cultivate, later needing to absorb the blood essence of high-level demon beasts...
Using an Alien Soul cultivated with Devil Skill to follow the Buddhist Incense Fire Condensing Spirit Method?
Is, is this really alright?
The phenomenon just now seemed to have worked?
Buddhist and Demonic practices, these two would meet and inevitably clash! Each large-scale demon hunting operation in the Immortal Realm was almost always led by major temples!
"This..."
Elder Shao wiped his face, feeling a bit disconcerted.
Originally intending to let his mind return to his main body and continue observing battles in the Immortal Realm, he decided to keep watching here.
He wanted to see how Buddhist and Demonic practices could be oppositional yet unified.
...
Three hours later.
On the surface of the earth-colored planet, many humans step out of the sand houses they live in, gathering in the squares of every city and village under the guidance of drones.
People look towards the sky, seeing ships drifting by.
And surrounding these ships are large numbers of Blade Beasts and terrifying demons wrapped within, the Pillar Blade Beasts.
This planet has not suffered a Blade Beast disaster for the first time.
Just over thirty orbital cycles ago, they had successfully resisted the Blade Beasts, and people are still immersed in that immense grief and fear. Now, seeing the Blade Beast Group in the depths of the sky, they are naturally very panicked.
And this panic has become a kind of nourishment.
The drones project screens, showing familiar politicians, celebrities, and a handful of military personnel.
They begin to explain a simple principle:
[Everyone can choose to chant a passage of special text, praying for the warriors who are currently fighting and overcoming the Blade Beasts and evil, the warriors need everyone's spiritual power.]
Over eighty percent of the people choose to pray.
None of them want the Blade Beasts to reach their homeland again.
And so, the chanting of scriptures quickly begins.
From three-year-old children to bedridden elderly who cannot move, everyone repeats those unfamiliar phrases that aren't too tongue-twisting.
The projection from drones also corrects their pronunciation.
[Namah, Ariya, Keshdi, Gahapaye.]
To ordinary people, these are just simple chants.
But in the eyes of Spirit Cultivators like Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo, who have practiced Buddhism, or in Elder Shao's view, golden lights begin to rise from various parts of this earth-colored planet.
Gold lights gather like raindrops into streams, streams into rivers, and finally, returning to the sea, entering the body of the Pillar Blade Beast.
Wang Jixuan's soul sits above the Sea of Vengeful Souls.
His self's primordial spirit at this moment has become a 'battery', continuously providing the spiritual power needed for the soul's transformation.
Around him, 360 treasure banners keep rotating.
This is a formation base crafted by Mu Dan on an assembly line.
The spiritual power within the Pillar Blade Beast has already been aroused by him.
This process is painful, like a three-year-old child attempting to drag a massive millstone;
But now Wang Jixuan has somewhat adapted.
The chant of all beings melds into his ears.
Master Wang gently takes a breath, his mind wholly merging with the soul, both hands begin to quickly form seals, continuously chanting.
As the power of his primordial spirit is insufficient, he must enhance it;
Normal cultivation requires a stable foundation, but the soul, having understood the principles of the Demon Buddha, can take some shortcuts.
For instance, right now.
The chant of all beings becomes increasingly distinct, Wang Jixuan hears the call of all beings, and the soul's power begins to grow continuously.
Then, he forms seals with both hands, once again executing the Ghost Gate Secret Technique, a part of the soul transforms into a golden Ghost Gate, while the core part of the soul transforms into a figure, seated behind the Ghost Gate.
He chants a spell:
"Om, Bhramara Linta Ning, Svaha."
He takes a clever approach here, using the Ksitigarbha Heart Mantra.
Buddhism has a saying, the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva vowed, Hell will not be empty, he will not become a Buddha.
And today, this Sea of Vengeful Souls is a small hell, billions of innocent souls trapped here, Wang Jixuan is now transforming them, helping them escape from suffering.
When this place is emptied, Wang Jixuan may gain some unforeseen benefits.
The Sea of Vengeful Souls below begins to collapse instantly, each soul flies past the Ghost Gate, circling around Wang Jixuan's soul, whirling once, seemingly enlightened, heading further away to sit, beginning to chant scriptures as well.
Souls have no shape;
These innocent souls pile upon each other, and soon the density becomes astonishing.
Bits of golden light fly out from them, merging into Wang Jixuan's soul.
And Wang Jixuan's Dao Heart stirs with a sense of melancholy.
It is a kind of compassion.
The compassion given by others to him, as well as his compassion for others.
These innocent souls realized their impending dissolution, yet still feel grateful to Wang Jixuan for pulling them out of the sea of suffering, aiding this person who just helped them, to gain more telekinetic power from all beings.
At this instant, Master Wang, who always thought 'Buddhist Law is all deceit', gained a lot more insight into Buddhist Law.
The silhouette seated behind the Ghost Gate has been filled with golden light, starting to enlarge gradually, a seated Buddha's phantom appears once more on the back of the Pillar Blade Beast, this time becoming increasingly solid, before long transforming into a beam of light, illuminating the deep starry sky.
"He actually made it happen, what principle is this?"
Elder Shao couldn't help but frown and mutter.
