After the initial surprise, Meng Qi's eyes lit up. He already had Daoist Chonghe, and now he had even more, including his Uncle-Master Xuanjie, who had attained the Dao Body Realm...
The probability of rescuing Abbot Kongwen is extremely high!
At the same time, Meng Qi was also curious:
“Uncle-Master Xuanjie, you have attained the ‘Immovable King Dharmakaya’? How did it happen so quickly? I didn’t hear a word about it.”
Cao Ya smiled faintly:
"I practiced the Dharma Body Secret Technique passed down in the temple—the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill—and naturally attained the 'Immovable King Dharma Body.' It cannot compare to the supreme Dharma Body such as the Tathagata's Golden Body, but it is not bad either."
"I was aware of the abbot's misfortune, which is why I didn't return to Shaolin after leaving before. I only decided to return to the temple after I had attained the Dharma Body and had enough confidence. Little did I expect that the general outline of the Tathagata Palm would be born in this vast land..."
He shook his head and sighed, "How unpredictable life is!"
Meng Qi was startled; it turned out that his senior uncle Xuan Jie had already noticed the existence of the fake abbot.
Qu Jiuniang glanced at Meng Qi, feeling a little guilty for not telling him about this... but then she became confident, thinking that even the great monk Xuan Jie hadn't informed Meng Qi, so it was perfectly reasonable for her to have forgotten, right?
Yan Wuwo showed no unusual reaction, except for a fleeting look of longing in his eyes.
The Dharma Body, what martial artist in the world does not yearn for it?
Master Chonghe sighed:
"I am deeply sorry about what happened to Brother Kongwen. In the past ten years, Brother Kongwen's behavior has indeed been strange, but I never thought much of it. Who would have thought that it was actually the 'Demon Master' Han Guang who was impersonating him?"
Everyone says that the "Demon Master" Han Guang was suppressed by Abbot Kongwen, but who would have thought that the truth is completely the opposite of the rumors.
Cao Ya waved his hand and said:
"With the Divine Palm's general principles now revealed, Han Guang will definitely come. The Vast Sea will be Han Guang's burial ground... Hmm, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Han Guang can't defeat me."
Seeing Cao Ya's confidence, not to mention the astonished Meng Qi, Qu Jiuniang, and Yan Wuwo, even Daoist Chonghe's expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly:
"Fellow Daoist Xuanjie, you must not underestimate Han Guang."
Cao Ya did not underestimate Han Guang; he was genuinely confident.
After talking for a while, Meng Qi, Qu Jiuniang, and Yan Wuwo left to contact Mr. Lu of Huamei Manor and venture deeper into the fragments of the universe to rescue Abbot Kongwen.
Fragments of cosmic light, a part that split off from the world, exist in relation to the real world.
Cao Ya and Daoist Chonghe headed together to the sky above the Sea of Fish. They didn't know where the fake Kongwen had gone, but since the Divine Palm General Principles would be born above the Sea of Fish, the fake Kongwen would definitely arrive.
On the way, Master Chonghe reminded him:
"Based on our deduction, Han Guang has allied with the demon race, and Jiu Niang was captured by the Tai Li Demon King. Fortunately, she was rescued with the help of Friend Meng and Sect Leader Yan. Jiu Niang's escape must have alarmed the Tai Li Demon King, and he has probably already informed Han Guang."
"With demons joining forces and the Khan of the grasslands, Guldo, eyeing us covetously, the Central Plains are in grave danger."
Finally, Master Chonghe sighed with emotion.
The burly man from the grasslands, Guldor, was also at the Dharma Body Realm and wielded the peerless divine weapon, the Heavenly Punishment Axe, posing a great threat.
Cao Ya knew that Guldo was a pawn of the Golden Emperor, and that the Heavenly Punishment Axe had always been under the Golden Emperor's control.
However, the Golden Emperor is a being of the other shore. Although he was plotted against by the Three Sovereigns, to the beings below the other shore, the meaning of the other shore is the will of Heaven.
But the will of Heaven... has always been a difficult question to fathom!
Moreover, the Golden Emperor has not yet recovered from the chaos. At present, Guldo can indeed use the Heavenly Punishment Axe. Even if the Heavenly Punishment Axe does not recover and display the power of the peerless divine weapon of the other shore, it is still incomparably powerful under the legend.
Moreover, the Central Plains were not unified, and two major dynasties were vying for power. The Jin Dynasty was weak, while the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to the mad king Gao Lan, had great prestige and was showing signs of surpassing the Jin Dynasty.
There will inevitably be a war between the Great Jin and the Great Zhou!
Of course, once a great master emerges in the future, the two great dynasties will become insignificant.
That Tai Li Demon King was also extremely powerful. His true form was the Five Elements Peacock. Kong Xuan's fame from the ancient and prehistoric eras still resonates throughout the world today.
While the Demon King Tai Li was no match for Kong Xuan, his Five-Colored Divine Light was equally terrifying and incredibly powerful.
Moreover, within the demon race, there is the Demon Saint Spear suppressing their hidden strength.
That's a peerless divine weapon of the Other Shore level!
The Emperor's Sword, which rivals it, is currently missing.
“Tai Li has appeared, and I don’t know how many other demon kings have come…” Master Chonghe said solemnly.
The demons joining forces must be plotting something big.
"These are turbulent times!" sighed Daoist Chonghe.
"'Demon Master' Han Guang, Tai Li Demon King..." Cao Ya chewed on these two names, and suddenly felt his blood boil.
At that very moment—
Thus have I heard. At one time the Buddha was...
"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed."
The murmuring Buddhist chants drifted over, like waves, layer upon layer, sweeping across thousands of miles of the vast ocean.
A faint golden, shimmering light appeared, and golden lotuses condensed above the sea of fish.
"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should they be viewed."
The words of wisdom resounded throughout the sea of fish, rippling towards the boundless distance.
At twelve locations along the line between Fish Sea and Greedy Sweat, Buddha's light suddenly rose up, transforming into a Dharma array—the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination—connecting to form a vast area spanning thousands of miles.
Within the Buddha's light, many powerful beings from other realms seemed to become insects trapped in amber, struggling but unable to escape. Their power was gradually drawn out, merging into the Buddha's light and flowing into the sea of fish.
In these outdoor scenes, only Grandmasters and those protected by them can escape unscathed; the rest are terrified but can only watch helplessly as their own power dissipates.
Kongo-ji Temple uncovered the secrets of the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination and set up this strange protective barrier.
Like Shaolin Temple, Vajra Temple was also founded based on the "Buddha's Palm" technique.
Both are among the four major Buddhist temples in the world.
A martial arts grand sect renowned throughout the world!
“That is…” Cao Ya narrowed his eyes slightly, looking into the sea of fish. He saw the glazed Buddha light gather, quickly solidify, stretch and deform, and transform into an angry Vajra.
It has a bare chest and breasts, with clothes wrapped around its waist. It has a fierce and majestic appearance, and its whole body is golden and shiny. It is strong, sharp, and powerful, and can cut through any obstacle!
"It's the work of the Vajra Temple." Cao Ya suddenly smiled.
The Vajra Temple and the Shaolin Temple have never gotten along.
Both sides possess the "Buddha's Palm" technique and both desire the other's.
Crystal-clear light drifted around this Vajra, which stood on a golden lotus, exuding supreme holiness and majesty. With a wave of its hand, a dark golden ring-shaped knife fell into its grasp. It swayed and took steps, causing the void to tremble.
"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning; thus should you contemplate them." It solemnly and devoutly recited this, and then the precept knife cleaved down vertically, striking the sea of fish.
Boom!!!
The fish parted, revealing the seabed; the seabed parted, revealing an inexplicably deep and dark place.
All the Dharma Masters were watching intently, their eyes burning with passion.
That fierce-looking Vajra is uncovering the fundamental principles of the Divine Palm technique.
Cao Ya glanced at it, then stopped paying attention and looked around at the various powerful figures who had appeared.
"As expected, the Demon King is not just Tai Li alone," Daoist Chonghe murmured.
Cao Ya looked up and saw a peacock several meters tall with brightly colored plumage. It had five faint feathers on its tail, which were blue, yellow, red, white and black, and seemed unusually heavy.
Beside the peacock was a huge white tiger, swirling with hurricane energy and accompanied by golden aura. Its speed was even slightly faster than that of the Five Elements Peacock Tai Li Demon King!
Dark clouds gathered, torrential rain poured down, the wind howled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a one-horned Kui bull came riding on streaks of thunder.
Tai Li Demon King! White Tiger Demon King! Kui Niu Demon King!
The three demon kings of the demon race have joined forces to launch an attack!
