Lu Li let out a long roar, his body transforming into a streak of light as he rushed towards Randeng. The Dinghai Divine Needle in his hand continuously thrust out, and endless sword energy soared into the sky, striking towards Randeng.

"Buzz~"

Dipankara Buddha's body trembled slightly, and a phantom image of a great Buddha appeared behind him, with endless Buddhist light pressing down on the Sea-Stabilizing Needle.

"boom!"

A violent roar resounded, and the endless sword energy on the Ruyi Jingu Bang was completely obliterated by the Buddhist light.

"Pfft!"

Lu Li was immediately covered in wounds, and his body flew backward involuntarily.

"Damn it!"

Lu Li rolled away, dodging the palm print of the Dipankara Buddha. He then swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) in his hand and smashed it towards the Dipankara Buddha.

"Buzz!"

A bright light shone from the body of the Dipankara Buddha, and the golden Buddhist light reappeared, enveloping Lu Li.

Lu Li frowned secretly. Although the Sea-Stabilizing Needle was incredibly powerful, Randeng was, after all, a quasi-saint level expert, and only had one chance to attack.

Once Ran Deng realizes what's happening, he'll be helpless and doomed. If things continue like this, he'll be completely trapped in a desperate situation.

Thinking of this, Lu Li leaped up and took out the Creation Jade Disc.

Dipankara Buddha's pupils contracted; he never expected that Lu Li would have the Jade Disc of Creation in his hand!

Ran Deng took a deep breath and turned his gaze to Lu Li.

"Whoosh!"

The Ancient Buddha Dipankara was actually preparing to use a secret technique to escape.

"Trying to run away?"

Lu Li sneered and hurled the Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff) at the Dipankara Buddha.

The ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp shone brightly, transforming into a beam of Buddhist light, thus avoiding the fatal blow.

However, the Buddha's light blocked the Sea-Stabilizing Needle and did not hit the Dipankara Buddha.

"boom!"

The magic needle slammed heavily onto the ground, causing the entire ground to cave in and a crack to spread out.

Dipankara Buddha glanced coldly at Lu Li, then turned and transformed into a beam of Buddhist light, rushing away into the distance without looking back.

Lu Li curled his lips. This Dipankara Buddha was a quasi-saint, and he just ran away like that? Wasn't he ashamed?

However, Lu Li did not chase after them and returned to Yunmeng Mountain.

After returning to Yunmeng Mountain, Lu Li immediately went into seclusion because he had gained many insights during his battle with the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, and he needed to quietly digest them.

One night passed.

Lu Li finally understood all those insights. The six-syllable mantra of Buddhism was indeed incredibly mysterious and impossible to guard against.

"Since that's the case, then I will create my own technique based on the six-syllable mantra of Buddhism to counteract it."

Lu Li's eyes flickered, and he suddenly thought of the Taoist Nine-Character Mantra.

During this era, Taoism had not yet invented the Nine-Character Mantra.

Suddenly, Lu Li felt a sense of inspiration and stepped into the void, saying to Lingxu Pavilion, "Nanhua, come out and try out my newly created technique."

"Buzz~"

The void rippled, and Nan Hua appeared before Lu Li, calmly asking, "What cultivation technique?"

"I almost fell into his trap during my battle with Ran Deng that day, so I also created a set of techniques based on the six-syllable mantra."

"Take a look and see how powerful this technique is," Lu Li explained.

"good!"

After saying that, Lu Li's aura continued to rise, and then he began to form hand seals.

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!" (Don't ask me why it's not "Lie" in front; "Lie" in front is the Japanese nine-syllable mantra, while in Taoism it's "Lie" in front!)

Then, as Lu Li spoke each word clearly, nine large characters emerged from his mouth and surrounded him.

A massive surge of energy made Nan Hua's eyelids twitch wildly, filling him with immense fear.

"Buzz~"

As soon as the Nine True Words appeared, they immediately emitted a dazzling radiance, enveloping the entire Lingxu Pavilion.

Nan Hua trembled and uncontrollably took a few steps back, looking at Lu Li with a face full of fear.

"this......"

Nan Hua felt as if his cultivation level was being suppressed. He felt heavy, as if a mountain was pressing down on his back, making it hard for him to breathe.

"Nanhua, look at the effect!"

Lu Li spoke, and then he made a hand seal again, and the nine large characters instantly burst forth, turning into nine pillars of light that spread outwards.

"Buzz!"

The entire Lingxu Pavilion transformed into a crystal-clear state, radiating light and captivating all who beheld it.

Nine large characters danced in mid-air, like nine stars, radiating brilliant light and illuminating an area of ​​hundreds of feet in radius.

Nan Hua trembled, his eyes wide open, staring at the nine pillars of light in mid-air, his heart filled with extreme terror.

He felt as if he were imprisoned, unable to even lift a finger.

Then, Lu Li waved his hand, and the Nine True Words immediately dissipated, and Nan Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You really are a freak, making the Taoist Nine True Words sound so terrifying!" Nan Hua said to Lu Li with a wry smile.

Lu Li smiled faintly and said, "I have only created a small part of the Nine True Words. If I were to fully integrate and master it, the Nine True Words would evolve into the Nine Divine Techniques, and their power would be even more terrifying."

"The Nine Gates Divine Skill?"

Nan Hua's eyes narrowed, and he nodded in reply, "Currently, these nine true words can only suppress and imprison, and do not cause any real harm."

“But if it incorporates the five elements, or even acquired artifacts, I think it would have offensive capabilities,” Lu Li said.

Nan Hua nodded slightly, then asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Lu Li pondered for a moment and then said, "I haven't decided yet, but I'd like to try fusing it with the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow first."
