The main world of the mythological multiverse, Ziwei Palace.
Nie Changchuan looked at the reincarnation of the divine consciousness fighting with Guanyin Bodhisattva in the silver light curtain, blinked his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, my reincarnation is so arrogant, the Bodhisattva should not mind, right?"
"Of course she wouldn't mind."
Lin Zhongtian glanced at Nie Changchuan and explained with a smile: "According to my observation, this world should be a certain version of the world of a film and television drama. Its background story of Journey to the West is relatively complete, so it is different from other lower worlds."
"It has its own little heavenly way. In this world, except for the Three Pure Ones and other great supernatural beings, all other immortals, gods and Buddhas are individuals independent of the main world. They are not projections of the divine thoughts of the mighty ones in the main world."
"The Guanyin Bodhisattva you are dealing with is not the Guanyin of the main world, so there is no need to worry."
After hearing Lin Zhongtian's explanation, Nie Changchuan finally felt relieved: "If you say so, then I feel relieved!"
At this point, Nie Changchuan said excitedly: "If that's the case, then if I go to the West Heaven, step on Lingshan Mountain, kill Tathagata, and steal the scriptures, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Well... there's still a problem."
Lin Zhongtian glanced at Nie Changchuan and said, "Tathagata is also a person of great magical powers. There should be some connection between his counterpart and the original Buddha."
The excited expression on Nie Changchuan's face froze, and he immediately said depressedly: "This Tathagata is really omnipresent..."
After complaining, Nie Changchuan once again turned his gaze towards the silver light curtain.
In the light curtain, Guanyin Bodhisattva used the Three Lights Divine Water to block the cassock that was pressing down on her head, and then transformed a willow branch into a sharp sword, performing mysterious sword skills and engaging in close combat with Nie Changchuan who was holding a Zen staff.
For a while, the two of them fought on the lotus platform and it was hard to tell who was the winner.
However, compared with Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has lived for who knows how many years, Nie Changchuan's experience is still too scarce.
Since he came out of the mountains, none of the bandits and monsters he had seen could survive three rounds at his hands.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult to accumulate any decent fighting experience.
So, after a while, Guanyin Bodhisattva's advantage in fighting experience became apparent.
Under her mysterious swordsmanship, Nie Changchuan gradually began to lose his strength and his figure became more and more embarrassed.
This won't work...
Nie Changchuan thought to himself, then swung his Zen staff vigorously, deflecting the sword that Guanyin Bodhisattva was stabbing at his neck, and then leaped back into the air, looking at Guanyin on the lotus platform below with her hands clasped together and a solemn expression.
"Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons—Dragon Forms!"
Following Nie Changchuan's loud shout, a rich golden light bloomed on his body.
The originally nine feet six inches tall figure suddenly grew in the golden light, and in an instant changed from a human form to a dragon form, transforming into a golden dragon over twenty feet long, rushing towards Guanyin Bodhisattva with its fangs and claws bared.
“clang——”
The sharp sword and the dragon claw collided, splashing countless sparks.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was startled and felt a tremendous force rebounding from the sword edge, almost knocking the sword out of her hand.
“What a great strength!”
After just one collision, Guanyin Bodhisattva knew that she would never be able to fight head-on with Nie Changchuan in this form.
She raised her hand and threw the long sword, stabbing it at the golden dragon's face. Then she stood on the lotus platform, clasped her hands together, and chanted:
“Namo Amitabha!!”
The solemn and majestic sound of Buddhist chanting is deafening, like a huge bell, resounding throughout the sky.
In an instant, Buddha's light burst out behind Guanyin Bodhisattva's head, her appearance was solemn, Sanskrit sounds were lingering, and sandalwood incense was wafting.
Nie Changchuan only felt the sound of Buddhist chants pouring into his mind, constantly calming his murderous intent and soothing his emotions.
It was just a moment of trance, and the willow branch transformed into a sharp sword passed through his dragon claws and pierced straight into the scales on his chest.
“clang——”
Sparks flew, and the smile that had just appeared on Guanyin Bodhisattva's face froze there.
The sharp sword penetrated the dragon scales less than an inch before being fixed in place.
A slight tingling sensation came over him, and Nie Changchuan instantly woke up from his trance. He opened his bloody mouth in anger and let out a deafening roar towards Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"roar!!"
The sound waves came out and turned into visible shock waves that spread in all directions, destroying the Buddhist sound that was still echoing.
In an instant, Nie Changchuan regained consciousness. He shook his dragon body, knocking the long sword off his scales. Then he swung his dragon claws again, fiercely hitting Guanyin Bodhisattva and the lotus platform under her.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the lotus platform that Guanyin Bodhisattva sat on was finally completely smashed under the dragon's claws.
As for Guanyin Bodhisattva herself, she dodged in time before the dragon's claws reached her, flew under the golden dragon, caught the sword, and with a shake of her white hands, changed it into a willow branch again, which she swung upwards.
In an instant, the willow branches swayed in the wind and turned into tall willow trees.
A rich vitality flows through this willow tree, making it lush and full of vitality.
The next moment, the lush willow tree withered instantly, and all the vitality poured into a leaf, making its green leaves stretch out, the veins on the leaves became mysterious like Tao, and it bloomed with brilliant light.
"go!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva raised her palm, pointed, and gave a clear shout.
In an instant, the green leaves broke away from the willow branches, swelled up in the wind, and turned into a green curtain covering the sky, wrapping around the golden dragon above.
All this seems complicated and tedious, but it actually happens in an instant.
In Nie Changchuan's vision, he merely smashed the lotus platform, and his body was wrapped by the huge green leaves below. All four dragon claws were bound by the green leaves, making it difficult to break free.
Looking at the "legless green snake" struggling and swimming above, Guanyin Bodhisattva breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Nie Changchuan frowned tightly and looked at the green leaves on his body with a headache.
He had already realized that this willow leaf had an extremely difficult ability, which could draw strength from him and in turn bind him.
In this situation, the harder he struggled, the more difficult it would be to break free.
But the dragons don't have any powerful magical powers. They are just thick-skinned and strong.
Nie Changchuan knew that Long Zhongxiang was defeated by Liu Ye, so he immediately made up his mind to find another way.
At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva flew to Nie Changchuan in the Buddha's light, looked at the pair of golden dragon eyes and sighed: "Xuanzang, don't make trouble anymore. You know the right and wrong in your heart. If you continue to make trouble like this, I will go to Jinshan Temple and ask your master Fa Ming..."
Hearing the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Nie Changchuan's heart sank, knowing that this might be his last chance to fight Guanyin.
So, before Avalokitesvara finished speaking, he whispered silently: "Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons - Heavenly Beings!"
In an instant, brilliant golden light burst out from the dragon's body.
The body of the celestial dragon, which was originally over twenty feet long, quickly shrank in the golden light, but the willow leaves wrapped around the dragon's body also shrank synchronously, tightly wrapping Nie Changchuan's Dharma image in the golden light.
Guanyin Bodhisattva paused, then said calmly: "It's useless. My willow branch is a congenital thing. It takes tens of thousands of years to be soaked in the water of the world before it can produce a piece. You have only practiced for more than 20 years, even if..."
Before Guanyin Bodhisattva could finish her words, the willow leaves tightly wrapped around Nie Changchuan suddenly trembled.
Rich golden light flowed from the leaf veins, then penetrated the body, and golden rays burst out from the leaf veins.
The next second, four big bags bulged out from the willow leaves, suddenly broke through the leaves and poked out from them.
The voice of Guanyin Bodhisattva stopped abruptly. She looked carefully and saw that the four bulges were actually four arms.
The two arms on the left, one holds a copper bowl, and the other holds a rosary. The two arms on the right, one holds a Zen staff, and the other holds a token that shines with golden light.
Seeing this scene, Guanyin Bodhisattva felt something was wrong and hurriedly waved the willow branch to collect the broken willow leaves.
At the same time, Nie Changchuan's celestial body finally appeared between heaven and earth.
The so-called celestial beings refer to the twenty gods and various celestial beings in Buddhism. In theory, Nie Changchuan's celestial being form can transform into any celestial being among the celestial beings and possess some of their magical powers.
At this time, the celestial body manifested by Nie Changchuan had a body about ten feet tall, four heads, and four arms. Its face was solemn and majestic, and its temperament was noble and transcendent, which made people kowtow and kneel down when they saw it.
"The Dharma Image of Great Brahma?!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva was so shocked that she couldn't help but exclaim.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Nie Changchuan glared at the Bodhisattva and rushed forward with his eyes wide open. He raised the Zen stick in his right hand high and smashed it hard on the head of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"boom!"
The air exploded, and an unprecedented strong shock wave swept out, sweeping wildly in all directions.
The sky within a radius of dozens of miles was completely cleared by the shock wave, completely revealing two figures above the clouds.
In addition to Nie Changchuan's ten-foot-tall, four-headed, four-armed Brahma statue, the Guanyin Bodhisattva opposite also revealed her true form, which was a three-headed, six-armed Guanyin statue.
Its three faces show either suffering or compassion. Its six arms are paired in pairs. The upper pair has the fingers pinching the flower and spread out on both sides. The middle pair has hands clasped together and placed upright in front of the chest, and the lower pair has hands spread out and slightly drooping.
The ten-foot-tall golden body was made entirely of glazed glass and surrounded by light. Buddha's light emerged from behind the head and there seemed to be Buddhist sounds coming from it.
Seeing this scene, Nie Changchuan's heart trembled, knowing that this powerful master who is one of the most powerful people in the Three Realms is finally going to take real action.
Fortunately, although this Dharma image looks amazing, its aura is actually comparable to that of his celestial beings.
If a real fight breaks out, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose.
Just as the two ten-foot-tall golden bodies were about to engage in a shocking battle, an angry roar suddenly came from the river bank below.
"…Evil disciple, what are you doing?!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Nie Changchuan's Brahma image paused slightly, and then he looked down with the back of his head.
He saw his master, Monk Fa Ming, standing on the river bank, looking at him with anger on his face.
Next to Monk Fa Ming, there was a monk holding an iron rod, who was Mu Zha, a disciple of Guanyin.
Seeing Mu Zha's figure, Nie Changchuan suddenly realized and finally knew why this guy had not appeared for a long time after being knocked away by the golden dragon.
It turned out that he had already left the battlefield and went to Jinshan Temple to report...
