Wang Hongyuan looked at the black power and exclaimed in surprise.
"That is karma, it must not be touched, otherwise you will fall into darkness and become lost!"
"That's karma?"
Lan Hua narrowed her eyes and frowned, only to see that the karma overflowing from the mortal monk was quickly absorbed by the Mount Sumeru Mountains.
However, the karmic burden on the mortal monk seemed endless, constantly being released.
Karma, like countless streams, entered the mountains.
Wang Hongyuan withdrew his gaze and said, "It seems that the mortal monk's Nine Revolutions Buddha Heart has not yet been fully perfected, and he has not completely severed all his karma, but it will be soon!"
"It seems that if I completely sever my karmic ties, the path to becoming an emperor might be much smoother!"
Seeing that the karma had disappeared without a trace, Lan Hua wondered where it had gone and asked, "Where did the severed karma go?"
"Naturally, they were collected by the Buddhist order!"
Xie Wujiu said, "Although karma is a corrupt and dark force, it is excellent if one can refine it and make it one's own!"
The crowd watched the mortal monk intently, as if watching a play, and not a single person dozed off.
Three whole days have passed, and everyone's eyes are almost dry, but the mortal monk remains motionless, and black karma continues to overflow from his body.
Lan Hua yawned. "Palace Master, how long will this last?"
"It's still a long way off. It won't be any results for at least ten days or half a month!" Wang Hongyuan said, surprising everyone.
"So we're just going to wait it out like this?"
"It can't hurt to take a look!"
Lan Hua knew that the path to becoming an emperor was extremely rare.
For a powerful figure like the Palace Master, such an opportunity to learn from others is rare, so he naturally wouldn't overlook any detail.
Another ten days passed, and Lan Hua simply landed on the ground and set up a barbecue.
Within the Buddhist temple, the aura emanating from the mortal monks gradually grew stronger, and Lan Hua, a True Celestial Being, felt an increasingly powerful force pressing down on her.
Seeing that everything was as usual, Deng Xian'er assumed that the Buddhist sect would produce another emperor this time, and couldn't help but worry about the status of the Dan Shen Palace in the Heavenly Domain.
"This old monk seems to be doing quite well. Could he really be about to reach the Earth Rank?"
Wang Hongyuan shook his head and said, "Looking at the examples of those who became emperors, none of them succeeded easily, and this mortal monk is no exception!"
Seemingly aware of Deng Xian'er's concerns, Wang Hongyuan said, "If the Mortal Monk really becomes an emperor, we should feel fortunate. The strength of the Heavenly Domain has increased, which will not harm us!"
Deng Xian'er understood that the Palace Master was referring to the strange mist, and her brows relaxed slightly.
The golden light emanating from the mortal monk was extremely intense, almost reaching its peak, but the karmic force overflowing from him was also extremely intense, and the scene of the Buddha's light soaring into the sky was also magnificent.
Wang Hongyuan's expression changed slightly. "This kind of power has already surpassed that of a half-step emperor and is close to that of a true emperor!"
Lan Hua asked in surprise, "Could it be that this old monk is about to succeed?"
But at that moment, Mount Sumeru suddenly trembled, and countless black energies suddenly overflowed from the ground, which was the eruption of karma.
Lan Hua quickly flew up into the sky, looked at the pervasive karmic energy, and asked, "What's going on?"
Wang Hongyuan frowned and said, "This is bad. It seems that Buddhism has lost control over the karma it has absorbed over tens of thousands of years!"
The karmic force surged forth, immediately surrounding the mortal monk in mid-air and beginning to frantically erode his body, causing the latter to show a pained expression.
The mortal monk cultivated the Nine Revolutions of the Buddha Heart for tens of thousands of years. Each time the Buddha Heart completed a revolution, it would sever its connection with karma.
Therefore, countless karmic forces are sealed beneath Mount Sumeru.
And these karmic debts also have a place of origin.
At this moment, the breakthrough of the mortal monk caused the earth's energy in the Sumeru Mountains to become unstable, which gave the suppressed karma a chance to escape.
"This is bad. The karma that was severed from him by the mortal world is backfiring on him. If the karma is not suppressed, the mortal world is likely to be in grave danger!" Wang Hongyuan analyzed.
The light of Buddha began to dim as the dust in mid-air was impacted.
Lan Hua glanced around and noticed that the Evil Lord and the Demon Lord's eyes were shining, as if they had seen a treasure.
"Strange, ever since this sky full of karma appeared, these two have been restless. Could it be that they have designs on karma?"
Karma, unrestrained, breaks free from Buddhist teachings and rushes towards the masses.
"Retreat, being corrupted by karma is no joke!"
Wang Hongyuan quickly pulled Lan Hua back, but several people in the crowd did not move. Instead, they spread their arms and frantically absorbed the incoming karma.
These people are either evil cultivators or demonic cultivators.
At this moment, karma seems to be a rare treasure to them. Although absorbing it is extremely painful, it is not wasted in the slightest.
"Why did they do this?" Lan Hua asked.
“The path followed by heretical cultivators and demonic cultivators is different from ours; their karma is a dark and degenerate force.”
For them, this was even more precious than the spiritual energy of the heavens, so naturally they wouldn't let the opportunity slip by!
"Kaimantra Formation!"
A loud shout came from within the Buddhist temple, followed by bursts of golden light shooting into the sky, forming a Buddhist mudra in mid-air, accompanied by the chanting of Buddhist scriptures.
The enormous Dharma seal shone with golden light, and endless Buddhist energy descended, suppressing the overwhelming karmic force and pressing it down into the Sumeru Mountains.
Upon seeing the karmic force disappear, the group of evil and demonic cultivators immediately sat down to meditate, attempting to refine the karmic force they had just experienced.
Looking at the karma that was about to disappear, Wang Hongyuan said, "It seems that all the monks and priests of Buddhism worked together and used the sect's protective formation to suppress the karma!"
Deng Xian'er said softly, "Judging from the scale of this Dharma seal, all the monks from the Buddhist sect must have been mobilized!"
"The Buddhist sect has always been the strongest among the three religions. There are no fewer than ten experts above the Venerable level in the sect. With so many experts working together, it's no wonder they were able to suppress karma!" Xie Wujiu analyzed.
"However, it seems it's not that simple!"
Wang Hongyuan said, "Judging from the force of karma that surged out just now, there must have been a huge amount of karma suppressed under Mount Sumeru, and it wasn't just from Fan Chen alone!"
"Why is that?" Lan Hua asked.
"Don't forget, there's a mysterious place within the Buddhist order that can generate unimaginable karma!"
"Is it the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?" Lan Hua blurted out.
"good!"
Wang Hongyuan said, "The Pure Land will also strip away the karma of those who enter it, and this karma will also be suppressed beneath the earth's veins!"
Lan Hua was truly astonished; the Pure Land must contain a vast number of living beings and souls.
Back when they were at the Death Mountain in the Half-Heaven Realm, the monk Yuanxin of Wanfo Temple persuaded the Zhurong Bird to help it ascend to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Just as the Mandala seal was about to completely suppress karma, the earth's energy in the Mount Sumeru Mountains suddenly changed again.
Although everyone was in mid-air, they could still feel the tremors coming from the ground.
The terrifying karmic force erupted completely, like an explosion on the spot, breaking through a huge gap in the mandala seal.
Karma surged upwards from the breach, spreading wildly and leaving nothing but barren land in its wake.
Lan Hua was shocked; such a surge of karma could practically destroy the lower realm.
"Repair the Mandala Array!"
Numerous monks soared into the sky, exerting their full power, spreading Buddhist light everywhere, but they could only barely keep the gap from widening.
The evil cultivators and demonic cultivators were overjoyed; what they had been waiting for had finally arrived.
Seeing the karmic burden spreading and increasing, the high-ranking Buddhist monks finally could not hold on any longer and cried out in unison, "Please, Buddha Emperor, intervene!"
