Chapter 184 Ghost Buddha (2)
Unlike the righteous cultivators, Luo Xuanyi was like a fish in water in this evil rain of blood. The darkness could not block her vision at all. She could understand at a glance why the righteous cultivators had such a hard time diving.
In reality, the evil energy was deliberately pushing them out of the abyss. The vast amount of evil energy consumed the cultivators' spiritual energy and blocked their consciousness. The more they tried to dive, the more spiritual energy they released. When they reached a certain depth, the spiritual energy and the evil energy they could release just offset each other. The cultivators would then believe they were advancing, but in reality, they were frozen in the abyss.
However, this trick could only stop cultivators below the Void Refinement Stage. A cultivator at the Void Refinement Stage had already planted the Dao Seed within their hearts, awaiting the Dao Refinement Stage, and would not be hindered by this unformed evil energy. For a powerful being at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, the evil energy was merely spiritual energy awaiting purification.
Soon, the six major alliances would realize this. Luo Xuanyi subconsciously equated the six major alliances with the Zang Yao Sect. In the Zang Yao Sect, unless a demon cultivator like Hua Shen, possessing a special status and absolute power, could evade the Sect Master's dispatch, everyone else, no matter how powerful, was merely a pawn that could be moved at any moment. If the Zang Yao Sect encountered a situation like the Ghost Buddha, even if reaching the Void Refining Stage was difficult, they would still mobilize dozens of them to break through the abyss.
What Luo Xuanyi didn't know was that within the six alliances, cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage already had the right to refuse. Reaching the Nascent Soul stage didn't simply mean an improvement in cultivation; more importantly, it signified a cultivator's eligibility to ascend to the Great Dao and attain enlightenment. In the hearts of these people, the Dao must be more important than the mundane.
Although the six alliances had established specific rules to enshrine all cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage as elders, attempting to constrain them with these rules, they could also refuse by going out to sea or going into seclusion. Rather, many of these cultivators had given up their privileges as elders, hiding their identities in pursuit of the Dao, fearing being disturbed by the mortal world. Simply contacting and persuading these cultivators would have taken the six alliances an inordinate amount of time.
Of course, there are also powerful people in the Nascent Soul stage who are willing to cooperate, but the six major alliances have hidden them. Only a few Nascent Soul stage cultivators who are good at refining pills and weapons are relatively active. Jiang Yujie, the powerful person in charge of refining pills in Longlan City, is a powerful person in the Black Wood Sect who is in the late Nascent Soul stage.
However, the six alliances that focused on alchemy and weapon refining meant they wouldn't fight on the front lines. Therefore, all Jiang Yujie could do was stay in the rear, refine the elixirs, and provide logistical support for the cultivators. The primary commander of the battle was still Ding Jing Zhenren.
Therefore, the six alliances were betting that the Ghost Buddha could be dealt with within the Jindan stage. Only after True Man Ding Jing had exhausted all his efforts and confirmed his failure would the various sect leaders in the Inner Affairs Hall desperately try to persuade the Great Master Lianxu to come out of seclusion.
Of course, Luo Xuanyi was completely unaware of the sect's internal affairs. She simply assumed that the righteous sect would quickly respond and provide support, so she had to speed up her efforts to shake off Yun Po.
Luo Xuanyi could already vaguely see the bottom of the abyss. This huge hole was funnel-shaped, and countless streams of blood tumbling along the rock wall converged into one, forming a giant vortex, emitting a rumbling sound.
However, this sound was blocked by layers of evil energy overflowing from the center of the vortex, and coupled with the thick darkness, it was impossible to hear or see it unless you were extremely close.
Luo Xuanyi narrowed her eyes slightly, hovering above the vortex. Further down here should be the spot where the Ghost Buddha was originally sealed, directly below the Ghost Market where Luo Xuanyi had accidentally broken the seal.
A large amount of death energy was released at that time, but it only broke such a small seal?
However, just this small seal was broken, and the evil energy that was revealed almost shattered the entire land within a hundred miles around Longlan City.
The evil spirit was intentionally blocking the cultivators, so the Ghost Buddha must have awakened and was manipulating the evil spirit. Was he afraid that the cultivators would discover that only one part of the seal was broken, so he blocked the cultivators?
Either he was worried about the seal being restored, or the demon Buddha had just awakened and was too weak. However, just by looking at the extent of the evil energy's spread, Luo Xuanyi could rule out the latter hypothesis.
Luo Xuanyi stared at the vortex, and the death energy around her gradually floated.
Yun Po noticed something was wrong.
The Ghost Buddha is so powerful. From Yun Po's perspective, Luo Xuanyi's strength is probably only at the Golden Core stage. She originally didn't think that Luo Xuanyi could do anything to disrupt the situation.
But after thinking about it for a while, she suddenly noticed one thing: the two pieces of information from Guifo and Luo Xuanyi appeared at the same time in Lianshan Ghost Market.
If Luo Xuanyi was just an ordinary demon cultivator, Yun Po would have thought it was just a coincidence. But Luo Xuanyi wasn't, and the demon Buddha before him clearly appeared unexpectedly after its seal was broken.
So, what will Luo Xuanyi do when she returns here again?
Yun Po's hair stood on end, and with a wave of the brush, a physical entity would immediately appear to stop Luo Xuanyi!
But it was too late. Luo Xuanyi stretched out her right hand and clenched it. Death energy surged like a wave, and with immense force, it smashed into the vortex of the sea of blood!
“Zheng——”
It was as if the world suddenly turned upside down, and a sea of blood rose up and flooded the sky. As it boiled, it instantly swallowed up all the monks who dived into the giant cave!
Beneath the sea of blood, a massive, intricately crafted circular stone slab was exposed. Many strange incantations were engraved on the slab, and the red outlines looked vaguely familiar to Luo Xuanyi. Cracks spread along the edges of the eighty-six incantations, yet they didn't completely separate.
From the single crack in the central stone slab, a constant flow of evil energy gushed forth. Luo Xuanyi gazed at the crack, vaguely sensing the gaze of a blood-red eye.
His eyes were motionless, just looking at Luo Xuanyi.
Luo Xuanyi waved her hand, and the main flag made of bones and flesh appeared out of thin air in her hand. She thrust it down hard!
"boom!"
Rocks flew everywhere, a sea of blood rose into the sky, and Luo Xuanyi watched as countless chains suddenly plunged into the void and turned into countless resentful ghosts and disappeared. In the center of the huge hole under the stone slab, a monk in black robes gently moved his blood-red eyes.
Ghost Buddha is born.
