Chapter 1025

"Ni."

As the third word of the mantra was uttered, the strange power reappeared. The excitement in Zi Chen's heart could no longer be expressed in words.

The power of the Buddhist Sect's Six Syllables was unimaginable. Once fully comprehended, one would be almost invincible.

At this moment, Zi Chen had mastered three syllables in a row. He was really excited.

In his sea of consciousness, Zi Chen's three syllables were uttered at the same time, forming a strange power that was even more powerful.

As Zi Chen comprehended, a shadow gradually condensed behind him. This shadow was extremely tall and emitted a bright golden light, releasing an oppressive aura.

This was a shadow that looked exactly like Zi Chen. It was as tall as a devil and emitted a fierce aura. However, as Zi Chen comprehended the power of the mantra, the fierce aura on the devil's shadow slowly faded and was replaced by a peaceful aura.

The devil's shadow that was originally condensed with the power of thunder and lightning was now surging with Buddhist power.

As Zi Chen's power of the mantra improved by leaps and bounds, the Buddhist power on the devil's shadow behind him also became stronger. It seemed that at this moment, the devil's shadow was showing signs of enlightenment and turning into a Buddha.

Beside Zi Chen, the monk stopped comprehending and his eyes were shining again. There was no aura around him, but he could feel a strong and pure Buddhist power around him.

The monk turned around and saw Zi Chen at a glance. Immediately, his pupils shrank and his face was full of disbelief.

At this moment, Zi Chen looked solemn and compassionate. If he did not have hair, he would be a living monk, and a monk with extremely pure Buddhist power.

Behind him, the tall devil's shadow had also turned into the shadow of a monk, full of compassion.

Along the way, Zi Chen had killed countless people. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be a Buddha. He could only be a demon. However, at this moment, Zi Chen had turned from a demon into a Buddha. Moreover, it was a Buddha with pure Buddhist power. Clearly, this indicated that Zi Chen was different.

If it was in the past when the two of them had just met, the monk would naturally be happy to see such a situation. He might even lend Zi Chen a helping hand and gloat at the sight of a demon becoming a Buddha.

However, their many years of interaction and friendship that had lasted for hundreds of years had made the two of them brothers. They had become sworn friends who would go through life and death together. Naturally, he could not watch Zi Chen turn into a Buddha.

"Ah, ah, ah."

The monk placed one hand on Zi Chen's shoulder and his spiritual thoughts vibrated with the power of the mantra. This was the purest three-syllable mantra. When it landed in Zi Chen's sea of consciousness, it was as if a great bell was ringing, causing him to quiver and instantly sober up.

Zi Chen woke up, and the Buddhist power around his body slowly dissipated. The Buddha shadow behind him also dimmed. At the same time, the comprehension of the power of the mantra in his sea of consciousness also became illusory and blurry.

"What's going on?"

Zi Chen woke up, and then felt the changes in the essence force in his body. There was actually Buddhist energy, and his face immediately changed.

"You almost turned into a Buddha," the monk said.

"Turned into a Buddha, damn it."

When Zi Chen heard this, he cursed angrily. His body surged with a surging aura. In his body, his qi and blood were boiling, and his tendons and bones were humming. Wave after wave of energy washed every corner of Zi Chen's body.

At the same time, in Abdomen and his sea of consciousness, perfect essence force and perfect spiritual thoughts were also sweeping and probing every corner.

Although Zi Chen had some appreciation for the monk, he greatly hated becoming a monk. If he became a monk and forbade the seven emotions and six desires, what would happen to his confidantes?

Moreover, Zi Chen was decisive in killing. How could he become a Buddha if he was a devil?

"Ah."

Just as Zi Chen was trying his best to remove the hidden dangers in his body, the stone wall in front of him suddenly lit up. Then, a Buddha shadow appeared on it. From the mouth of the Buddha shadow, a mantra was uttered. This mantra vibrated towards Zi Chen.

The Buddhist power that had been dispersed around Zi Chen's body condensed again, flowing to all parts of his body like blood. The Buddha shadow that had just dissipated behind him also condensed again.

"Damn it."

Feeling that a part of the power in his body was out of control, Zi Chen's face was filled with anger. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his cultivation technique.

This was a cultivation technique recorded in the Heavenly Book that cultivated one's Essence, Qi, and Spirit to perfection. Zi Chen circulated it over and over again, and the perfect power began to attack the out-of-control power.

"Ah, Ma, Ah." In the stone wall, the monk's shadow uttered three syllables. Three strange powers fused into Zi Chen's body.

The pure Buddhist power began to clash head-on with the perfect power in Zi Chen's body. Monk Good and Evil stood at the side with an anxious expression, but he did not dare to help.

One had to know that he was a monk and had Buddhist power in his body. If he went forward to help, it would only make things worse. It would only strengthen the out-of-control Buddhist power in Zi Chen's body.

Now, he could only wait for the outcome of the two powers to be decided.

Under normal circumstances, Zi Chen's perfect power would naturally win. This was because perfect power was the dominant power in Zi Chen's body. There were many reasons, and the battle was in Zi Chen's body. This was the home field advantage.

However, this small amount of Buddhist power contained another power. This power was also Buddhist power, but its quality was very high. Furthermore, Zi Chen felt that this power had its own thoughts. At this moment, although this power was small, it was like a well-trained elite soldier. It could match Zi Chen's power.

Of course, this wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that this power's realm was higher than Zi Chen's.

Therefore, the two types of energy were currently evenly matched.

Time passed. Zi Chen remained motionless. The shadow in the stone wall was also sitting cross-legged. The mighty power formed by the three-syllable mantra constantly vibrated out.

Gradually, the perfect power in Zi Chen's body was suppressed. The Buddhist power around him took the lead and began to corrode the perfect power.

"The perfect power actually lost to the Buddhist power." Upon seeing this scene, the monk was clearly alarmed.

When he looked at the shadow on the stone wall again, the monk's face clearly had a smile. It was a gratified and benevolent smile.

Seeing that Zi Chen was about to successfully transform from a demon into a Buddha, the shadow's smile bloomed completely. Monk Good and Evil vaguely heard a hearty laugh.

However, in the next moment, the laughter came to an abrupt halt as though someone was strangling it.

Three golden beams of light suddenly lit up on Zi Chen's body. The first golden beam of light was at his glabella, the second was at Abdomen, and the third was at his heart.

The moment the three golden beams of light appeared, they were like three sharp blades that stabbed into the stone wall in front of him.

Following that, Monk Good and Evil heard an exclamation from the stone wall. "Heavenly Book! It's actually a Heavenly Book! Ahh!"

The exclamation disappeared along with the shadow on the stone wall. Following that, the stone wall emitted cracking sounds as cracks spread across the half-broken stone wall.

The Buddhist power in Zi Chen's body began to recede as the perfect power took the initiative again. At the same time, the golden light circulating on the Three Pages of Heavenly Book in his body also joined in the cleansing of the Buddhist power.

In just a few breaths of time, all the Buddhist power was cleansed. Zi Chen turned into a demon once again. He opened his eyes with a cold and sharp gaze.

"Peng!"

The half-broken stone wall in front of him that had spread to its limits instantly exploded into pieces.

"What a pity. An eternal mantra has disappeared just like that." Monk Good and Evil was relieved when he saw that Zi Chen was fine. Then, he sighed and lamented.

Although the stone wall was strange, it did not pose any harm to the people of the Buddhist sect. Furthermore, there was a half-word mantra on it. It was an inheritance treasure that could drive the Buddhists crazy. Unfortunately, it was destroyed.

"That was close." After getting up, Zi Chen sighed.

"It was close. If the stone wall wasn't half-broken, you would probably be my junior brother in the future." Monk Good and Evil joked.

"Buddhist items are really mysterious. Let's leave this place." Zi Chen still felt some lingering fear. He had almost been tricked without any warning.

After leaving the underground, the two of them continued on their path of purification. Zi Chen tried to sense the Three Words Mantra, but he discovered that the extremely clear sounds and ripples had become blurry at that moment.

It was as if there was a thin layer of fog blocking the front. It was impossible to get rid of it and he could not see it clearly.

Everything repeated itself. Zi Chen and Monk Good and Evil saw the young monk again. However, the young monk was now middle-aged. When he saw the two of them, he changed his tone for the first time. He looked at Zi Chen and said, "To be able to come out so smoothly, you really are extraordinary."

"Who are you?" Zi Chen asked.

The middle-aged monk only laughed and then left. From the beginning to the end, he did not attack the two of them.

As the two of them went deeper, their expressions gradually became solemn. This was because the young monk was slowly aging. In the end, he had become a bald old man. His beard and eyebrows were white and there were wrinkles on his face. However, his eyes were extremely bright.

"I'll be waiting for you in the depths." These were the last words the old monk said. From then on, he did not appear again.

Old monk, old ghost was more like it.

In Zi Chen and Monk Good and Evil, the old monk was definitely an old ghost. He might even be the old ghost king.

Along the way, while the monk was purifying, his expression also became solemn. He was silent and did not say a word for several days.

Finally, after spending an unknown amount of time, the monk purified all the otherworldly items here. At the same time, he searched the many pagodas here. However, apart from the half-word mantra, he found nothing else.

As the last otherworldly item dissipated, the baleful Yin energy in the area completely disappeared. From the collapsed buildings, collapsed doors, and remnant weapons, golden light was released.

The golden light represented Buddhist power. At that moment, the entire world was filled with a peaceful and tranquil aura. However, there was a hint of loneliness in this aura.

Golden light appeared and floated towards the sky. Following that, it transformed into a ball of golden light. The golden light was like flowing water as it twisted and straightened in the air as though someone was pulling it. Finally, it transformed into a golden mirror that occupied half the sky.

Zi Chen and the monk's gazes landed on the golden mirror. The golden mirror began to glow with boundless Buddhist light. After the light faded, there was an additional image in the golden mirror.

In the image was a complete Buddhist sect. Pagodas stood tall and the tips of the pagodas emitted boundless Buddhist light that completely enveloped the area.

The Buddhist light was like a natural barrier that protected the Buddhist sect. The wind and sand could not blow in and the rain could not fall. The entire world was golden. It was completely a holy land, a pure land.

However, in the mirror, blood rain suddenly fell. The blood rain passed through the Buddhist light and landed on the Buddhist land.
