Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Killing! Only Then Cease Arms!

Chapter 85: Killing! Only Then Cease Arms!

Before the rushing great river.

Li Yingling quickly understood her master’s meaning and spoke: ”As the saying goes, seas turn into mulberry fields. When I read the Miscellaneous Chronicles, I read of a time when river and sea waters receded, turning into mountain peaks.”

”Then why cannot it be today that river and sea waters pour in, filling up the mountain peaks?”

Hearing this, Yuan Kong suddenly realized and nodded: ”Then this mountain peak is now in this water?”

Unfurling a spirit power shield, Chu Xingchen enveloped the other two within it: ”It is just a speculation. Let’s go in and see. Perhaps that Buddhist scripture was randomly written to fool a simpleton like you.”

”Others read it as a story, but only you, Yuan Kong, foolishly treat it as a treasure.”

Yuan Kong did not have the confidence to refute.

Li Yingling had already reached Foundation Establishment, so this river water was no longer a problem for her, but Yuan Kong could not manage it.

Since the shield was already unfurled, bringing one more person was no trouble, and it could be considered an extra layer of protection.

Chu Xingchen carried the two of them and plunged into the turbulent river current.

A turbulent river current would carry a large amount of sand and silt. After entering the water, it felt hazy and pitch-black.

The faint light from his spiritual energy only allowed Yuan Kong to see the sand and stones flowing past him.

In any case, Yuan Kong could not see anything clearly.

Chu Xingchen’s divine sense once again scanned the mountain peak and compared it to the hand-drawn map from Yuan Kong; there was still not a single similarity.

Could it really be a short story, written to amuse people?

Li Yingling observed her master’s expression: ”Master, is something wrong?”

Chu Xingchen shook his head slightly, his gaze falling on Yuan Kong as he said: ”Are there any other key clues in that Buddhist scripture?”

”Clues?” Hearing this, Yuan Kong was slightly stunned. After a moment of thought, he said, ”It only wrote that the Kalpana Bodhisattva, to save all sentient beings, transformed his own body into an inner landscape, isolating love and hate, and removing affection and enmity...”

Setting aside whether this story is true or not, the key word—isolation...?

Chu Xingchen pondered for a moment, then suddenly nodded in realization. Since this was the only method left, he might as well try it.

A vast amount of spiritual power surged from Chu Xingchen’s body, and the virtual images of two small hands appeared behind him.

The right small hand waved gently, and a vast amount of spiritual power quickly pushed aside the mud, sand, and river water.

The other hand’s five fingers were slightly spread. Spiritual power instantly gushed from the small hand, rapidly expanding into a vast mirror of spiritual power, covering the entire great river before them and reflecting everything on the riverbed.

Chu Xingchen raised his head and looked at the screen of light above.

Mountains and rivers were reflected within it.

At this moment, Li Yingling and Yuan Kong also understood and looked at the spiritual light screen together.

”Isolation also has an inside and an outside. The scenery inside and the scenery outside are also inversions.” Chu Xingchen’s gaze quickly locked onto a small hillside in the reflection. ”It’s right there.”

He retracted his spiritual power, and the virtual images of the small hands behind him dissipated.

Chu Xingchen led the two of them towards the small hillside.

Li Yingling had already crammed on the common knowledge of the cultivation world, and she quickly understood that this kind of method was possessed only by cultivators at least at the Nascent Soul Realm.

She quickly asked: ”Master, this is a method of the Nascent Soul Realm, isn’t it?!”

”What’s wrong? Discovered you were looking down on your master?” Chu Xingchen said calmly, ”There are many more mysterious things about your master.”

”How could I! My master is a top-tier great cultivator who can suppress the entire Xuanwu Country!”

”Your expression at the very beginning didn’t say so.”

Li Yingling chuckled and said: ”At that time, I hadn’t started cultivating yet. I just didn’t know the ropes.”

As they talked, Chu Xingchen had already arrived before the small hillside at the riverbed. After scanning again with his divine sense to confirm, he slightly raised his hand and blasted the hillside into pieces.

It revealed a large section of a Guanyin statue’s head inside.

The head was already somewhat blurry and indistinct, but the eyes of the Guanyin statue were covered by a yellow cloth strip.

On that yellow cloth strip were written black inscriptions, which occasionally flashed with a faint light.

Chu Xingchen also brought the Guanyin statue within the range of the spirit shield and looked at Yuan Kong, saying: ”Son of Buddha, it’s up to you.”

It was finally Yuan Kong’s moment to shine. He walked forward with a confident expression and, without hesitation, reached out to touch the yellow cloth strip.

Immediately after, a burst of dark black energy sent him flying, causing him to smash harshly against the edge of the spiritual energy shield.

Chu Xingchen and Li Yingling did not speak. They both looked calmly at this supremely confident Son of Buddha.

There was no disappointment, nor regret, as if they had expected it all along.

The black energy from just now was like lightning, making Yuan Kong’s whole body feel numb. He was clutching his chest with difficulty when he saw the calm gazes of the two.

Those eyes seemed to be saying—I already knew you were a waste of space, and we are not surprised in the slightest.

”That was just a mistake! I was careless!” Yuan Kong quickly stood up and said, ”I’ll go look at the inscriptions on the cloth strip now.”

Chu Xingchen said in a flat tone, ”Then try again.”

Yuan Kong hurriedly walked back to the Guanyin statue’s head, his gaze fixed seriously on the inscriptions on the cloth strip.

He softly recited the inscriptions on the cloth strip: ”Om Ami...”

After reciting a few lines, Yuan Kong suddenly felt something was wrong. This... this didn’t seem to be the content of a Buddhist scripture.

It was a bit more like a method from the Buddhist incantations a senior brother had given him.

He made a hand gesture, forming a Buddhist hand seal, mobilized the willpower within his body, and shouted loudly: ”Om Sarva...”

Under Yuan Kong’s control, the willpower rushed swiftly into the yellow cloth strip.

Boom— A more violent burst of dark black energy struck. Chu Xingchen quickly acted to shield Yuan Kong’s figure.

Although Yuan Kong was not hit directly by the black energy, the resulting shockwave still made him roll over on the spot.

Li Yingling sighed: ”Master, you should do it.”

”Wait...” Yuan Kong climbed to his feet, his gaze looking at Chu Xingchen who was preparing to make a move.

”You want to try again?”

”No... wait until I stand farther away before you try.”

Yuan Kong, clutching his chest, hurriedly walked to the edge with his short legs before signaling to Chu Xingchen that he could continue.

Chu Xingchen looked at the shamelessly acting Yuan Kong, speechless.

Although his performance so far was a complete mess, Chu Xingchen suddenly felt that this person’s future was bright.

Truly worthy of being taught by the high monks of the Chanlin Temple.

Now, it was his turn to act! A living Soul Transformation Realm cultivator might be a bit intimidating, but a dead one, what did that count for?

Chu Xingchen stared intently. The virtual images of two small hands appeared behind him again. The small hands unhesitatingly reached out and grabbed the yellow cloth strip.

The moment the small hands grabbed it, the inscriptions on the yellow cloth strip suddenly bloomed with intense dark black energy, madly surging towards the virtual hands.

Ho, it has some standards.

Chu Xingchen frowned. Another virtual image appeared behind the small hands. A Q-version of Chu Xingchen sat cross-legged upon a white lotus, his expression calm and emotionless. His two hands grabbed the yellow cloth strip, preparing to pull it off.

The black inscriptions on the yellow strip leaped out from it, attacking the virtual image.

But unfortunately, as the virtual image grabbed the cloth strip, the seated virtual image of Chu Xingchen suddenly rose to its feet, extending a small foot to step on the incoming inscriptions.

With a sudden exertion of force! He fiercely tore off the yellow cloth strip.

The Guanyin statue now revealed its true appearance.

One saw the Guanyin with angry, glaring eyes, as if boundless fury dwelled within them, enough to devour and obliterate everything.

”Killing! Only then cease arms!” As the Guanyin statue’s eyes were revealed, an angry roar issued from within the head.

As the voice fell, the surrounding scene suddenly began to transform.

Chu Xingchen noticed this change, but his expression remained calm.

This was probably the inner landscape that Yuan Kong had spoken of. The treasure Yuan Kong mentioned would be within this inner landscape.
