Chapter 322 Outside the Formation (Two Updates Today)

Outside the Zhongqu Mountains, the scorching sun shone slightly obliquely onto the giant golden statue standing in the clouds. The dazzling light of the golden statue was occasionally mixed with bursts of Buddha's light.

"Even the Retrospective Mirror won't work?"

The four Void-Refining Buddhists holding a giant mirror withdrew dejectedly. The mirror was inlaid with gold and gems, and on its back were three great butcher knives. It was a Buddhist treasure called Su Huan, but it still couldn't do anything to Wu Qing Hua's golden body.

The hundreds of Buddhist practitioners who had gathered together unknowingly tried every possible means and tried thousands of times, but no one could break the golden body's defense and pull out the strange practitioner from Wu Qinghua's body.

The shadow cast by the golden body enveloped all the Buddhist practitioners on the ground. They looked up at the golden and dazzling image of the Wuqinghua Dharma and couldn't help but sigh.

"...After all, my uncle is only 310 years old, and he's already on the path to becoming a spirit. How can we possibly compete with him?"

"That strange cultivator was able to penetrate the golden body. He must be extremely powerful."

"If the Buddha were still here..."

Just when everyone was feeling depressed, a loud bell suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

“Bang—”

The sound was long and lingering, solemn and serene, sweeping away the negativity and despair in everyone's hearts. All the Buddhist practitioners could not help but clasp their hands together and chant together in reverence.

"The great freedom of all life."

Amidst the chanting, a man in a golden robe came from the distant clouds, with the sound of bells. His snow-white beard fluttered, his brows and eyes were calm, and he stood silently in front of the golden statue of the radish green flower.

As soon as they saw him, everyone's spirits immediately lifted.

“It’s the great master Guo Chi!”

"Greetings to the Grandmaster of Jingmen."

Master Jingmen sang in response, his voice calm and indifferent: "How are things now?"

They exchanged glances, and Li Chi, one of the four Void Refining Buddhists holding the Tracing Mirror, said respectfully with a hint of shame, "Master Wu Qinghua is still asleep. The treacherous cultivator is hiding in his golden body, and we are powerless to destroy him."

Seeing that the Tracing Mirror had been brought out but still couldn't do anything to Wu Qinghua's golden body, Master Jingmen half sighed and half relieved, still calm and composed: "It's okay. Qinghua is half a step away from becoming a god after all. You have done your best."

Such a nonchalant attitude made everyone feel relieved, except for Li Chi and the other three who felt a little unwilling.

The Tracing Mirror, a Buddhist treasure, was a Dharma instrument bestowed upon a disciple by the Buddha. Two hundred years ago, after the disciple's disappearance, the four brothers were ordered to jointly worship the artifact. Even now, despite being at the Void Refining stage, they can only unleash a third or fourth of the Mirror's power.

Jingmen once promised to give the Tracing Mirror to his disciple Wu Qinghua, but was stopped by the Great Master Xian Guochi. The four Lichi brothers had always considered Wu Qinghua their rival, but now they couldn't even break through his sleeping golden body.

However, no matter how much they were unwilling to do so, they couldn't strangle the treacherous cultivator at this moment. Li Chi and the other three silently lowered their heads and retreated. Master Jingmen seemed not to notice their reaction, his gaze fixed solely on the golden figure.

"As for the strange cultivator, let me come and see him."

As soon as Jingmen's words came out, a ray of light from heaven passed through the golden body of the russet flower, illuminating the entire interior of the body with flawless clarity!

Everyone held their breath and looked over, trying to find the figure of the strange cultivator. They only saw golden sand flowing around the bones of the golden body, and only a black cloud floating above the dantian.

This dark cloud cast no shadow, yet the light from the sky could not penetrate it. A faint blue flame danced within it. Beneath the cloud, the spirit of Ruqinghua sat cross-legged within a complex pattern. Aside from the dark cloud and the spirit of Ruqinghua, there was no sign of any other cultivators.

"Then Black Cloud is a strange cultivator? People from outside the domain are so different from us?"

"Master's soul seems to have been captured by something. I'm afraid that if we rashly capture the evil cultivator, it will destroy his soul."

"Fortunately, fortunately... I heard that Guo Zhu intends to give up his position to my uncle. If I accidentally destroy my uncle's soul..."

Everyone was whispering when they suddenly noticed dark clouds surging, as if something strange was happening!

The Buddhist cultivators stared at the black cloud as if facing a formidable enemy. Even the Jingmen monks restrained their expressions and observed it. The black cloud rolled and surged, blue flames flickered frequently, and finally, the black luck suddenly opened up, and a red and white shadow rolled out.

It was a flag. Bones formed the pole, flesh and blood formed the banner, and pus flowed.

What's this?

Amidst everyone's bewildered gazes, Luo Xuanyi finally noticed the unusual changes outside.

She was so busy refining the sixteenth flag that she hadn't noticed the light pouring into her golden body. Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, Luo Xuanyi silently extended a wisp of death energy to scoop up the newly refined formation flag and retract it into her body.

Everyone watched in silence as a wisp of black air floated out of the black cloud, wrapped around the strange flesh and blood flag, and swallowed the flag back into the cloud.

"What was that just now? Senior Brother's flesh and blood?"

"No, it looks a bit like a spider spitting eggs... Could it be that the young strange cultivator is in the shape of a flag..."

"Grandmaster, this evil cultivator is trying to establish his nest inside my golden body!"

"Do strange cultivators have the habit of building nests?"

“It’s hard to say…”

Even Master Jingmen's expression grew slightly solemn. He gently stroked his long beard, pondering for a long time before sighing, "Qinghua's soul is currently trapped in a strange state. We can only watch quietly from the sidelines."

If he could destroy the treacherous cultivator along with the Wu Qing Hua golden body, Jing Men could easily come up with several ways. However, Wu Qing Hua was one of the only two disciples he had personally trained. The disappearance of the Buddhist disciple was already a disaster for the Buddhist sect, and he could not let Wu Qing Hua get into trouble again.

After all, Jingmen's own life span is about to end, and in the Great Freedom Hall, only Wu Qinghua has the ability to transcend the realm of transformation and continue to protect the Great Freedom Hall.

This time, the timing seemed perfect. As long as Wu Qinghua could kill the treacherous cultivator, he would become a common hero of the righteous path, and no one would have any objection to his ascending to the position of Grand Master Guo Chi.

It is even possible that Wu Qinghua could snatch back the position of the leader of the three major sects from the hateful Taoist priests in Ran Taoist Temple.

Hearing that even Master Jingmen, who was at the Spiritual Transformation stage, was unable to do anything, the Buddhists immediately erupted in a commotion. Master Jingmen remained unmoved, his eyes fixed on the dark clouds as he waved his robe sleeves and spoke calmly.

"I believe in Qinghua and will not give in easily."

"Immediately surround the golden body on all four sides. When Qinghua breaks through the trickery, immediately block the trickery's path and don't let her escape!"

"yes!"

Luo Xuanyi saw all the arrangements of troops outside the golden body. She just continued to make the formation flags as fast as she could, while paying attention to the Soul-Falling Formation in the Interworld.

Originally, when Wu Qinghua just entered, she did not accept the story that Luo Xuanyi injected into her, and the Soul-Falling Formation in the Interworld was in turmoil and in danger.

In order to stabilize the formation, Luo Xuanyi gritted her teeth and tried to integrate Wu Qinghua's own memories into it. This would likely make Wu Qinghua feel more uncomfortable, but there was another possibility.

And Luo Xuanyi made the right bet.

Now looking towards the Soul-Falling Formation in the Interstellar World, Wu Qinghua was chatting and laughing leisurely with her mother and sister.

Wu Qinghua felt that she had fallen in love with life in Guhu Town.
