In fact, in the previous battle in the Mazu River Basin, Jiang Li had already harvested a large number of souls.

Including the 300,000 this time, the total number of ghosts in the burial coffin has exceeded two million.

But ordinary souls need time and a lot of spiritual energy to be transformed into soul-burying ghost soldiers.

Jiang Li wants to upgrade them to become official ghost soldiers and put them into battle, but it will take quite some time to wait.

Ignoring all this for the moment, Jiang Li grabbed another piece of ore placed aside.

The ore feels heavy and smooth to the touch, and the surface of the ore is coated with a thick layer of wax for protection.

He didn't feel anything at first, but after two breaths of contact, the skin on his palms began to turn slightly green and numb. It turned out to be poisoning.

With Jiang Li's current amazing resistance, even with a thick layer of wax between them, he could still be poisoned without direct contact, which shows how highly toxic this ore is.

This is a piece of top-grade poisonous ore that Jiang Li bought at an auction at a huge price.

It is said that this thing has a great origin. It was once swallowed by a thousand-year-old poisonous dragon and was infected by the dragon's poison day and night. It was not until the poisonous dragon was killed by a master that the internal organs were cut open and the thing was taken out.

Jiang Li planned to use it as the main material to make the second coffin nail.

The seven coffin nails can have a huge impact and amplification on the burial coffin.

If it is made into a second coffin nail, it can give the burial coffin a highly poisonous property.

Then, every soul-burying ghost soldier will be poisoned, forming a million poisonous souls that are hard to defend against. The threat of Jiang Li's ghost army will undoubtedly be greatly increased.

Putting it away temporarily, Jiang Li looked at the last item in the auction, which was the culprit that almost emptied his family fortune.

It was a golden Buddhist statue passed down from ancient times.

The golden statue is a little over ten feet tall, with a thousand hands behind its back and sitting on a lotus pedestal. One can imagine that it must have been the main Buddha of the temple in its former glory.

But now, the golden statue shows signs of time everywhere and is severely damaged, and only a few of the thousand hands behind it have fallen.

After all, this is something like the Dragon Prison Lock, which has been passed down from ancient times to today. It does not have the special material that is indestructible like the Dragon Prison Lock, and it is extremely rare that it can still maintain this state after the erosion of time.

The key point is that this golden statue contains a mysterious power, which is why it is so expensive.

Although the immortals and Buddhas behind the golden statue have disappeared, the face of the golden statue has also become blurred.

However, this golden statue has been worshipped and offered sacrifices by a mortal realm during the long period of the Dharma Ending Age.

Sometimes the streets would be deserted in order to worship it, and sometimes there would be only a few believers burning incense every month.

With the help of the not-insignificant power of incense and vows, even though its original material is not special, it has been able to survive thousands of years without decaying and has survived to this day.

It was eventually bought by Jiang Li at a staggering price of 1.65 million.

When Alliance Leader Jiang saw the golden statue being put on the auction table, his eyes turned red.

He felt an inexplicably familiar resonance from it.

It was as if from the depths of the soul, strands of silk appeared, wanting to connect with this golden statue.

The strange movement of the soul, coupled with the special shape of this golden statue.

He immediately remembered some things from his previous life.

The Great Freedom Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has three thousand incarnations, listening to all things and saving all living beings. However, there are only thirty-three incarnations known to the world and worshipped by statues.

Among them, the Thousand-Armed Guanyin is the thirty-third incarnation.

As far as Jiang Li knew, in the ancient times of Kyushu continent tens of thousands of years ago, many immortals and Buddhas were very similar to the myths and legends of the previous life.

It was just a legend in the previous life, but it is real history that happened on the continent of Kyushu.

But perhaps because so much time has passed, there are even fewer records about the immortals and Buddhas here.

After Jiang Li obtained the Heart Sutra of Guanyin, he specifically asked people for information, but unfortunately, even some knowledgeable seniors in the sect had never heard of the name Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Not to mention the specific Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

Therefore, it is unlikely that this golden statue is a fake!

Of course, the most important thing is the wonderful connection between Jiang Li and this golden statue.

After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand and pressed on the golden statue, silently reciting the Heart Sutra of Guanyin, and tried to explore the Buddha statue with the method of Mahaprajnaparamita Guanyin.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Li easily established a resonance with the Buddha statue.

His Guanyin perspective was just as it should be, as soon as he came into contact with the golden statue, he was sucked directly in.

Then, a lot of voices began to come in.

First there was a loud and dense buzzing sound, all crowded together, making it difficult to hear clearly and making one feel upset.

Jiang Li's brows were tightly furrowed. He smelled a faint scent of incense on the tip of his nose, and his eardrums began to hurt, as if many people were talking to him and asking him for something.

Buzzing words kept pouring into his mind.

His nose felt sore, his ears ached, and four streaks of blood flowed out from them.

The complicated sounds of the believers burning incense and praying are not something a foundation-building cultivator can easily endure.

The slight injury to his soul made Jiang Li feel helpless.

However, Jiang Li was not panicked, nor did he stop. He calmed himself down and directly pulled the first and second parallel consciousnesses over.

Perhaps due to the barrier of space, the third parallel consciousness Yaksha clone is not unable to come over, but there is still a time difference of about a quarter of an hour.

The situation in the Asura Realm is not as bad as in the Kyushu Continent. If one suddenly loses consciousness and falls to the ground, it is very likely that one will be eaten by a passing monster.

Now in the Asura world, Jiang Li only has this one seed, so it is naturally impossible for him to give up easily.

So he just called on the first and second parallel consciousnesses to help.

Jiang Li felt a lot more relaxed immediately after diverting the large amount of noise that had been pumped into his mind directly into two parallel consciousnesses.

Sitting in the consciousness space with the other two parallel consciousnesses, they summoned nine ghost lanterns with cold flames to surround them.

With the nourishment of the Ghost Lantern Fish Ghost Lantern taken by Jiang Li every day, his nine cold flames have become much stronger than before. Once released, they are the size of a basketball, and about 30% of the center has turned pale. The power is even greater than before. If the Nine Netherwood was hit by the cold flames now, it is unknown whether it would have a chance to escape.

The cold flame of the ghost lantern surrounded his body, and 90% of the sounds and distracting thoughts that came in one after another were directly burned by the cold flame. The remaining tenth was shared by the two parallel consciousnesses. Although to ordinary people's ears, it was still no different from the snoring of a thousand strong men.

But with Jiang Li's Guanyin Heart Sutra, he could barely hear some of the sounds inside.

"Bodhisattva, my husband is going to the capital to take the imperial examination. The journey is full of dangers and mountains. I pray that the Bodhisattva will bless my husband to have a safe journey and help him get the top score in the imperial examination!"

. . .

"Bodhisattva~ wuwuwu~ My eldest child fell into a well and died at the age of three~ My second child fell off the stove and died at the age of three~ wuwuwu~ My poor third child was born with a left hand, and he just turned three and caught a cold and got the plague! Please, Bodhisattva, save my child!"

"I kowtow to the Buddha! I kowtow to the Buddha!"

"Buddha, I am Huang Fugui, a village official. I have been a vegetarian, a Buddhist, and a charity-giver all my life. I have never done anything bad! But I have a naughty son. He played with the daughter of a tenant farmer the other day, and the girl got so upset that she hanged herself!"

"My poor son is involved in a lawsuit and his life is at stake! Please have mercy on my child and keep him safe!"

. . . .

"Buddha, my daughter~my daughter was deceived by that teacher and lost her virginity. Now she is four months pregnant. What should I do..."

Jiang Li sorted out the wishes and prayers one by one using the Heart Sutra of Guanyin.

Each and every one of them is the suffering of the world.

The ancient immortals and Buddhas enjoyed long and lasting lives by consuming the incense and offerings of the mortal world. Perhaps this is how they felt in their daily lives.

Through the Heart Sutra of Guanyin, Jiang Li can feel that although the immortals and Buddhas have disappeared, after tens of thousands of years of burning incense and worship, this statue actually still contains a considerable amount of incense and vows.

But Jiang Li had no intention of absorbing them.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Even after absorbing it, Jiang Li's cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds, directly breaking through to the Golden Core or even Nascent Soul stage.

However, the power of incense and vows is mixed with too many messy wills and emotions. Before one is able to remove its influence, any contact with it will pollute the most original self, which is extremely costly.

It's just like eating raw snake meat or frog meat. If you dare to eat it, you will be infected with parasites.

Jiang Li has the Nine Nether Earth Fruit to assist in his practice. If it weren't for the need to hone his skills, he could have broken through to the Jindan stage and there would be no need to try to quench his thirst with poison.

However, Jiang Li’s inability to absorb the power does not mean that he cannot gain other benefits from it.

The Heart Sutra of Avalokitesvara is a very special spiritual practice.

What drives the practice of this technique is not some panacea or natural treasure, but the sufferings of the human world and all kinds of situations in the world.

As long as you have experience and insights, you can greatly improve your spiritual cultivation.

And this Thousand-Armed Guanyin statue is recording the sounds of the world.

Jiang Li immersed himself more deeply in his mind, grasping the voice in the petition and digging deeper bit by bit.

For a moment, all other voices were covered up and suppressed. Jiang Li seemed to see everything that had happened in the past through the eyes of the golden statue.

The wishes of ordinary people are nothing more than life, death, wealth, sex and power. However, the greed, anger, ignorance and hatred contained therein cannot be explained in just one or two simple words.

Among the countless voices accumulated over a long period of time, Jiang Li slowly found the same voices and tried to understand more about these believers.

One, two, three, most of the sounds have become blurred and indistinguishable, but some particularly "pious" ones have been preserved intact.

The woman who asked for blessings for her husband's return from high school sounded very ordinary.

But this voice appeared every few days, and it has been going on for seven years. The content of the prayer is exactly the same, but the voice changed from sad and worried at the beginning to crazy later.

Her husband hadn't been home for seven years. The woman had gone mad a long time ago because she couldn't accept the blow.

As for her husband, he either died outside or started a new family. It is very likely that he will never come back.

The woman whose child did not live past the age of three had petitioned several times for a child before that.

But after her petition, there will be another old woman's voice, asking for forgiveness to the Bodhisattva.

It was because the woman's first three children were all girls, and her family was poor and unable to raise more children.

So under the "tactics" of this old woman, those girls were forcibly killed by external forces.

But the woman was unaware of this and only thought that she had a miserable life and her child was unlucky.

. . . There are many more human tragedies unfolding in front of the mute Buddha statue.

The sorrows of mortals, the grievances of life, from a third-party perspective, watching and listening to those voices, watching those cries, without any sadness or joy.

Jiang Li seemed to have realized something. The Guanyin Heart Sutra was running at high speed and his spiritual attributes began to gradually rise.

Avalokitesvara enters the world of dust particles and saves people from suffering.

Therefore, there are immeasurable merits. By reciting the sutra and chanting the mantra, all living beings can be saved from various evil destinies and various sufferings with utmost sincerity.

Stay away from each other, achieve harmony, transcend and reach the wonderful path. The waves of this ocean are moist, and the wind from the lower side blows and touches, and karma and obstacles are eliminated.

It is not only what the ears hear, but also what the eyes see, which shows that the roots are deep.

The confusion of human emotions leads people to fall into the five turbidities, and is recorded by the ghosts and gods as punishment.

In the blink of an eye, it becomes hell, great sorrow.

The two paths of good and evil are up to people to choose, with great compassion.

Among the thousands of sounds, another profound scripture sounded in Jiang Li's ears, and its name was Thousand Hands! Three days later, Jiang Li came out of the basement.

At this time, he looked slightly different from before, and his temperament was more profound and restrained.

The momentum that had become somewhat ostentatious due to the sudden increase in strength has now been steadily retracted.

His spiritual cultivation broke through, and the fourth parallel consciousness came into being. Jiang Li had also thought of its place.

. . . .

Asura world, Dora bloody battle arena.

After the Fallen Blood Yaksha's clone won the bloody battle and joined here, he was casually assigned the role of a guard.

Although it is not an important position, the advantage is that he can move freely in many places in this bloody arena.

After escaping from the wilderness, Jiang Li finally got a glimpse of a corner of the Asura race civilization through him.

This is a race without morals or ethics.

Some of the men are extremely ugly and some of the women are extremely beautiful, but regardless of gender, they are like a collection of desires, indulging in sensual pleasures and living in the present moment.

During the time that the Fallen Blood Yaksha was on guard, hundreds of live sex shows had taken place in the audience seats of the bloody fighting arena.

They do it in public without any hindrance and have no shame. They even invite the Asuras next to them to join them.

There is chaos and disorder. If someone disagrees with something, they may be making love one second and fighting for life the next.

Jiang Li didn't quite understand their social structure. But thanks to their chaotic rules, the Yaksha clone found an opportunity to sneak attack and kill the captain of the guards here, and then replaced the original captain and took over the management.

With greater authority and scope of activities, Jiang Li soon discovered some secrets of this bloody arena.

There is another world beneath this huge building.
