Chapter 395 Broken Jade
In Xu Qing's sea of ​​consciousness, the moment the twelfth-grade green lotus blossomed, the entire underworld shook violently.

Dark clouds as thick as ink rolled together and condensed into a huge vortex of Buddhist verses in the sky. Countless ancient Sanskrit mantras were faintly visible in it, exuding a heart-pounding pressure.

These mantra seals seem to be moving like living things, and each line contains the supreme power of Buddhism to save people.

The shadow of Guanyin slowly emerged from the center of the lotus platform, her white sleeves fluttering in the wind, her body surrounded by a faint golden light, but the smile between her brows was kind yet revealing an indescribable weirdness. In every smile line there were dense golden Sanskrit mantras, as if they were engraved with the devout blood of tens of millions of believers. As the smile spread, the mantras became clearer, as if to completely envelope Xu Qing's soul.

Xu Qing watched helplessly as his black Taoist robe faded away bit by bit under the cover of that strange smile, like a thin gauze encountering a raging fire.

The plain white monk's robe seemed to have a life of its own. It began to wrap around his ankles, and the friction between the fabrics made a rustling sound, as if chanting some unknown Buddhist scripture.

The jade hairpin in the hair emitted an ear-piercing buzzing sound, which transformed into golden light and condensed into a scar on the top of the head.

The burning pain spread from his mind to his limbs and bones, as if countless fine needles were piercing his soul at the same time, or as if millions of ants were gnawing at him, making him almost faint.

"The Bodhisattva is so calculating." Xu Qing endured the severe pain. The sound coming out of his throat was no longer clear, but echoed like a Buddhist bell, shaking the void and causing ripples.
"You set up this trap with the Diamond Sutra and lured me into it. Are you trying to turn me into a Buddha?"

Before he finished speaking, the willow branch in the hand of the Guanyin phantom trembled slightly, and a drop of nectar with a colorful halo fell into Xu Qing's soul.

The innate five-colored divine light seemed to encounter a natural enemy and it surged violently, twisting into the shape of a peacock's tail feathers on the lotus platform, and was being pulled out of the soul bit by bit.

Every passing ray of light was accompanied by Xu Qingru's excruciating pain as if he were struck by lightning. He could clearly feel that his strength was being constantly deprived.

Suddenly, there was a sharp cracking sound from the canyon wall, as if countless huge axes were splitting the rocks at the same time.

The mottled stone carvings of the Diamond Sutra oozed dark red blood, and it crawled on the stone wall like a living earthworm. Wherever it passed, the stone wall cracked inch by inch, emitting a sickening fishy-sweet smell.

These blood lines continued to converge and intertwine, eventually piecing together the fragments of the "Mantra of the Peacock King".

The three heads of the thin black divine dogs howled at the same time, the sound was shrill, and the Dharma images around them were disintegrating bit by bit, and the black hair fell like dead leaves: "Master! The blood curse on the rock wall is draining the essence of Dapeng!"

Its eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, and its body was trembling slightly due to excessive tension.

Xu Qing looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the light of the coffin in the glazed relic in the distance was like a candle in the wind. Under the erosion of the dark red blood curse, it was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The dark blue tail feathers on the gilded skeleton withered away one by one, and every falling tail feather seemed like the silent cry of Dapeng.

And for every complete blood word, there would be one more relic on the Bodhi Buddhist beads on the wrist of the black bear demon in the distance - those Buddhist beads emitting strange and dim light were clearly made from the dismembered golden body of Venerable Dapeng!
"What a great transplant!" Five-colored light suddenly appeared in Xu Qing's eyes, and he suddenly stabbed his fingers into his forehead.

The innate Taiyi Dao seed shattered with a loud bang, and the chaotic aura was like a flood that instantly dyed the twelve-grade lotus platform black.

On the pitch-black lotus platform, countless golden cracks spread like a spider web, and each crack was devouring the surrounding netherworld energy.

For the first time, ripples appeared on the compassionate face of the phantom Guanyin, and the Three Lights Divine Water in the Jade Bottle overflowed uncontrollably, condensing into chains in the void, trying to restrain the raging chaotic aura, but the chaotic aura was too strong, and the chains began to twist and deform as soon as they were formed.

At the critical moment, Xu Qing's broken soul turned into five-colored rainbow light and rushed straight to the wick of the coffin.

The dark blue flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the Yellow Springs like a sea of ​​blood.

Amid the raging flames, the unwilling roar of Venerable Dapeng could be heard faintly, shaking the entire canyon.

Golden blood gushed out of the black bear demon's seven orifices, and the Buddhist beads on his wrist exploded one after another. Every time a relic exploded, it revealed the wrathful image of Dapeng Venerable: "Guanyin! Give me back my freedom!"

At this moment, the purple gold bell snatched by Xu Qing fell to the ground with a clang.

In an instant, the six-word mantra of light on the purple gold bell shone brightly. The dazzling golden light was like a small sun, illuminating the entire underworld.

The void trembled, and ripples appeared in the space like the surface of water, and the Five Great Bright Kings stepped out from the light.

Acala holds a wisdom pestle in his hand, with a stern face and an aura of suppression that can suppress everything.

Vajra King Vajrasattva wielded a three-pronged halberd, with a strong evil spirit wrapped around his body, and the air was distorted wherever he passed; Kundalini Vajra King wielded a vajra, his muscles were knotted and he exuded a breath of destruction;
Mahakala opened his bloody mouth, his fangs flashed with cold light, and black flames continued to spew out of his mouth;
Vajra Yaksha Mingwang waved the vajra bell, his eyes filled with violence, and wherever the bell rang, tiny cracks appeared in the space.

They held various instruments in their hands, exuding a suffocating pressure, and were arranged in a hexagram array with the phantom of Guanyin. When Xu Qing saw the vertical eyes between the brows of the phantom of Guanyin, his heart suddenly shook - that was clearly the Buddhist past incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Dharma-bright Tathagata!

"Set up the formation." The voice of Tathagata was as cold and clear as the melted water from a snowy mountain, without a trace of emotion, as if everything in the world was as insignificant as dust in his eyes.

The five great kings stomped on the five elements at the same time. With every step they took, the void vibrated with thousands of golden Sanskrit characters.

As the six-syllable mantra sounded, huge Buddhist texts gathered into six golden dragons. The dragon bodies were wrapped with endless Buddhist sounds, sweeping across the underworld like a tsunami.

Between the Yinshan Mountains and the Yellow Springs, countless resentful spirits lost their hostility in the Buddha's light and kowtowed devoutly. The ground was riddled with deep pits caused by their heads. The dark blue souls mixed with the soil to form strange patterns, as if they were offering sacrifices for this great battle.

The moment the six-word Buddhist sound burst out from the mouths of the Five Great Bright Kings and the phantom of Guanyin, the laws of the entire underworld began to distort and collapse.

First, a sharp buzzing sound rang in Xu Qing's ears, and then a loud bang like a huge bell exploded in his sea of ​​consciousness, causing golden blood to ooze out of his seven orifices.

The Buddha's voice turned into tangible sound waves. Wherever it passed, the huge waves of the Yellow Springs solidified into ice crystals, the Yinshan Mountain cracked inch by inch, and even the ancient underworld palace suspended in the void collapsed.

These six-word mantra seemed to contain the power to create the world. Although only six people were chanting it, it seemed to make the chanting of billions of Buddha lands in the Pure Land pale in comparison.

Golden Buddhist texts leaped out of the mouths of the Vidyarajas and the Dharma-Bright Tathagata like living things. Each character was as heavy as a mountain, and dense Sanskrit veins flowed on the surface, as if the shadows of countless Buddhas were floating in it.

A giant golden dragon formed by the confluence of the six paths of Buddhist writings, with countless Buddhist verses engraved on its scales. The fluttering of its dragon whiskers caused ripples in space, and wherever its tail swept, the void collapsed like a broken mirror.

The Tathagata, who was at the front, raised his hand and waved it lightly. Six golden dragons raised their heads and roared at the same time. The Buddha's light that they spewed out turned into a golden curtain that covered the sky and the sun, as if enveloping the entire Yinshan Mountain.

The yin and yang energies around Xu Qing surged violently under the pressure of the Buddha's light. The black and white airflows spun wildly and eventually condensed into a huge millstone.

The innate Bagua diagram emerged on the surface of the millstone, with chaotic energy flowing around the edges. Every time it turned, it made a roar like the creation of the world, causing the scales on the Buddha dragon's body to fall off.

However, the Buddhist sound became more and more majestic, and the six-character mantra transformed into a golden chain that fell from the void, piercing through the Yin-Yang millstone and going straight to Xu Qing's soul.

"Om!" Acalanatha struck the ground heavily with the pestle in his hand. A golden beam of light shot up into the sky. The space wherever it passed was refined into liquid Buddha light, which imprisoned Xu Qing's Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel.

“Well!” Jhanti Vairocana danced with his three-pronged halberd. The evil spirit bursting out from the tip of the halberd transformed into countless black skeletons, gnawing at the chaotic energy on the edge of the millstone.

“Ne!” The mantra on Kundalini’s vajra lit up, and thousands of black chains wrapped around the millstone, trying to crush it.

"Bang!" The black flames spewed out from the bloody mouth of Mahakala, instantly dyeing the yin and yang energies into a strange purple. "Meow!" The Vajra Bell shaken by Vajra Yaksha Vidyaraja made a piercing scream, shaking Xu Qing's mind violently, and the speed of the millstone slowed down significantly.

"Hum!" A jade bottle appeared in the palm of Tathagata, and the Three Lights Divine Water poured out from it turned into a golden waterfall, merging with the six-syllable mantra to form a cage containing infinite Buddha power, trapping Xu Qing in the center.

The Buddhist sounds hit Xu Qing's heart like waves, and the golden Buddha light penetrated his skin and flowed through his meridians, trying to cleanse his heart of Taoism.

Xu Qing's soul was struggling to hold on in the sea of ​​consciousness, the Taoist Dharma images around him kept collapsing and reorganizing, the plain white monk's robe and the black Taoist robe appeared alternately on his body, and the light of the Taoist scars and the jade hairpin in his hair waxed and waned.

He bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel. The black and white fish immediately turned into two giant dragons, their eyes flashing with an unyielding light, and they rushed towards the golden cage.

The Tathagata of Dharma-Brightness stood on the golden dragon head, with a compassionate face that concealed a sense of oppression: "Donor Xu, the sea of ​​suffering is endless, turn back now!"

He raised his hand and pointed. A beam of golden light descended from the sky and hit the Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel.

Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the millstone. Xu Qing spat out a large mouthful of golden blood, and his face turned as pale as paper. But his eyes remained calm, and he quickly formed seals with his hands, mobilizing the last bit of strength in his body to inject into the millstone: "If you want to save me, you must first step into my path!"

In the fierce collision of Buddhist and Taoist forces, huge black holes began to appear in the space of the underworld, and countless resentful spirits were sucked into it.

However, under the illumination of the Buddha's light, the hostility in the eyes of more resentful spirits disappeared, revealing pious expressions, and they kowtowed to the virtual image of Guanyin. The power of their faith turned into golden spots of light and merged into the hexagram formation, making the formation even more powerful.

The Tathagata of Righteous Dharma stood on the golden dragon head with his hands behind his back, looking at Xu Qing, who was trapped in the formation and struggling with only the Yin-Yang Grinding Wheel, with an increasingly compassionate look. He said with pity: "If you continue to fight, this underworld world will be shattered, and you will bear endless cause and effect, and a huge amount of karma!"

Xu Qing: "Have you not heard, great master, that it is better to die in glory than to live in dishonor!"

As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, the skeleton of Venerable Jin Peng resonated with him.

Its remaining broken bones were completely turned into powder. At the same time, the blood curse of the Peacock King hidden in those stone carvings was no longer under the control of the Dharma-Bright Tathagata. It converged into Xu Qing's soul like rivers flowing into the sea.

This was after Xu Qing shattered the Taiyi Dao Seed and concluded the cause and effect, which actually stimulated the Nirvana talents of the Golden Winged Dapeng and the Peacock King from the Phoenix.

Under the blazing flames.

Xu Qing's soul, body and even consciousness completely disappeared.

A huge paulownia tree appeared out of thin air.

This paulownia tree burning with the flame of nirvana actually has the characteristics of both hibiscus and laurel.

The sun and the moon shine together!

As the shadows of the phoenix tree branches swayed, countless laurel branches stretched out, burning with the divine fire of the sun that could burn all the wasteland.

The Buddha's light, as vast as the sea, evaporated in an instant.

The giant dragons of Buddha's light let out mournful roars.

What's even more terrifying is that the five great kings were all pierced by the laurel branches. In an instant, their faces were distorted. Looking closely, they could see the shadow of Xu Qing's face.

This is Xu Qing's method of visualizing the five great demon gods that he had practiced since the Dayu Dynasty.

The cause of the past is the effect of today.

After the Taiyi Dao Seed was shattered, Xu Qing's Hehua Zizai Tianmo Dafa was sublimated to the extreme. Using the laurel branches derived from the Wutong sacred tree as a medium, he unexpectedly and forcibly converted the Five Great Bright Kings.

Now these five great bright kings are no longer the five great bright kings, but the five great demon gods, the five great demon gods that belong exclusively to Xu Qing.

This is also the conclusion of the causal line from the Taiyi Dao seed.

In other words, the Xu Qing of the past saved the Xu Qing of the present.

The Tathagata of Righteous Dharma stood on the dragon's head, his white robe fluttering and his eyes flickering with light.

The current situation has gone beyond Guanzizai's original plan and the situation is out of control.

It's just a little bit off.

If Xu Qing could be converted, Guanzizai's plan for the overall situation of the two eras would be successful.

He sighed softly, it is hard to defy God’s will!
When the Tathagata of Right Dharma-Brightness saw that the five great Vidyarajas were being converted, he knew that he had lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It also meant that the game between Avalokitesvara and Ksitigarbha had finally been declared a disadvantage.

What a great Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, what a great Xu Qing.

In an instant, the Tathagata of Right Dharma and the golden dragon under his feet disappeared into the void like golden sand.

Seeing this, Xu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He has burned out.

This battle cannot be considered a victory.

Because he lost the Taiyi Dao Seed that he had refined with great difficulty.

But being able to protect himself and not being converted into a Buddhist guardian is already a blessing in disguise.

"Congratulations, Taoist Priest. You have escaped this calamity and are not far from eternal damnation." Although the thin black divine dog looked tragic, it could not hide its excitement.

Although it was not Avalokitesvara who took action personally this time, it was the opponent's past incarnation in Buddhism, Dharma-Bright Tathagata, who personally brought the disaster.

Xu Qing was able to survive this disaster, and he seemed to have hope of becoming "invincible".

You know, this kind of people all have the hope of becoming candidates for the Three Pure Ones, and in terms of status, they are not much worse than Ksitigarbha.

"It was just luck." Xu Qing waved his hand.

Abandoning the Taiyi Dao Seed this time also made him understand the truth that there is nothing outside the mind, and his soul became clearer.
