Chapter 2295: Chapter 2294: Divine Miracle Descends

The Five-Directional Heaven storm surged toward the Golden Bell Barrier with the force of crashing waves.

With a hum, the two powers collided.

The Golden Bell shook, instantly repelling these earthly storms back from all directions.

"Prajna Paramita!"

"Prajna Paramita!"

"Prajna Paramita!"

...

In the void, the sacred chant resonated.

Beneath it, souls trembled as if they were about to be transformed by this Buddhist law, hastily using essential qi to shield their primordial spirits.

Princess Taihua covered her ears, excitedly shouting, "Oh my, Master has such powerful Buddhist law!"

Wang Xiaoya enveloped her with a green light of the Chaos Green Lotus, protecting her from the erosion of the sacred chant.

She was also somewhat surprised, never expecting Long Fei to have acquired such profound Buddhist law.

That Jin Chanzi, who had retrieved the Mahayana sutras from the Western Heaven, truly possessed something extraordinary.

They did not know that Ci’en Temple was already completely surrounded by karmic fire.

The monks inside had all retreated outside the temple, and within a radius of ten miles, no stays were permissible.

This was merely the karmic fire spilling out from Ci’en Pagoda, imaginable how mighty the fire inside had become.

Even the temple head admired Long Fei instantly.

If he were to enter inside, he would instantly turn to flying smoke.

People often say, the path to immortality for the Daoist Sect is hard, while the Buddhist Sect is easy.

For the Daoist Sect requires refining mercury and making elixirs, constantly absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, and evading the three calamities and nine hardships.

The Buddhist Sect only requires chanting, meditating, achieving fulfillment upon completion.

Actually, this is a misconception.

The Buddhist Sect focuses on purifying the six senses, meditation, and contemplation precisely to refine a heart devoid of desires.

Having such a heart allows you to resist the raging karmic fire.

Without it, emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and the seven emotions and six desires could burn you to ashes at will.

For practitioners of Buddhism, attaining the path is extremely challenging.

Though they do not suffer the three calamities and nine hardships, ultimately, few monks achieve enlightenment.

Like Master Jin Chanzi, who underwent eighty-one hardships and cultivated through nine lifetimes to finally attain the Buddha fruit.

Abbot Hui Neng held Long Fei in utmost admiration, having his disciples sit down and chant the sutras loudly, proactively helping dissolve the karmic fire for Long Fei.

Though not much help, it can lend a hand.

The Ancestors of the Five Directions staggered their bodies from the backlash, spreading their hands and roaring into the sky, immediately changing tactics.

The previous kind of mighty power could rival armies, but couldn’t concentrate power into one.

They demonstrated the nature of this power into a green Coiling Dragon rope in the sky, a golden longsword, a fiery giant blade, an icy water blade, and an earthy mountain peak.

In the void, simultaneously appeared five hundred-meter sized Dharma Laksana Divine Weapons.

Formed by mana, seemingly condensed by the heavens and earth.

Underneath, humans appeared as insignificant as ants.

These five divine weapons simultaneously hacked, smashed, and wound toward Long Fei.

The scene seemed like two giants battling in the sky, shaking souls and hearts racing.

The Ancestor of the Long Family’s Azure Dragon Coiling Dragon rope first wrapped around the Golden Bell Barrier, violently tightening, constricting inward.

The two powers tangled, occasionally letting out muffled clinks and clangs.

The Ancestor of the Kirin Clan’s mountain peak smashed second, striking the Golden Bell as Mount Hua pressed down.

With a boom, the huge impact made the five surrounding peaks simultaneously thunder, spewing smoke and dust in all directions.

The vegetation on the peaks simultaneously turned to powder.

The Ancestor of the Vermilion Bird Clan’s fiery blade, the Ancestor of the Black Tortoise Clan’s icy blade, and the Ancestor of the White Tiger Clan’s golden longsword simultaneously surrounded Long Fei from three sides, fiercely hacking and stabbing.

Rumbling, the Golden Bell Barrier around Long Fei roared again.

Under the massive killing and impact force, it collapsed inward, fluctuating violently.

"Amitabha!"

Long Fei’s Golden Buddha Statue chanted once more in the air, simultaneously changing his hand gestures to launch the second Six Syllable Mantra, "Nē!"

He clasped his hands, his golden light suddenly intensified, actually dividing into four Dharma Laksana Buddha statues in the air, defending five directions along with his current one.

These five golden Buddha statues stood as tall as a hundred meters, accompanied by golden bells, resisting the Five Directions’ divine power.

The golden giant bell hummed continuously.

Twisting the space below, a great hurricane arose, with the five peaks erupting in explosions.

People, unable to stand under the massive shockwave disturbance, avoided eye contact.

Originally standing a hundred miles away, they retreated another hundred miles.

In the void, the sacred chants soared.

Faraway in Chang’an City, it was entirely enveloped by these chants.

The ministers in the court couldn’t resist leaving to witness it.

Empress Dowager was assisted by Su Wan’er in coming out, staring in the northeast direction with the ministers.

Five grand Golden Buddha statues emerged in the void, accompanied by waves of sacred chants.

Within were bell tolls, drum sounds, alms bowl, wooden fish sound, and chant of Buddhist scriptures.

Indeed, it seemed the Patriarch Buddha had arrived, and all races worshipped.

Master Baochan, the host of the Heavenly Dragon Temple, knelt excitedly, flattering loudly, "Empress Dowager, look, Five Buddhas appear over Mount Hua. It perfectly matches your surname, heaven-sent miracle, auspicious call!"

"Five Buddhas, Wu Buddha? Is heaven aiding me?"

The Empress Dowager was surprised, unexpected that five grand Golden Buddha statues manifested atop Mount Hua.

In the void, waves of sacred chants.

In the Daming Palace, it was heard clearly.

She immediately beckoned the ministers, kneeling assisted by Su Wan’er, with hands clasped in prayer, shouting, "The Patriarch Buddha manifests, please accept Wu Yitian’s salutations!"

The ministers exchanged glances, seeing the Empress Dowager kneel, followed suit reluctantly, "Please bless Chang’an, bless Great Tang!"

Simultaneously, the citizens of Chang’an City knelt, astounded by this miracle.

The Five-Directional Ancestors had once thought victory assured, not expecting Long Fei to simultaneously manifest five Buddha statues.

These five Golden Bell Barriers emerged, countering their five divine weapon attacks and forcing them back.

The Five-Directional Ancestors exchanged a glance, shouting, "Refine him with the Five Elements Formation!"

The five changed tactics, reaching out to merge their powers.

The Five-Direction natural forces combined in the void into a huge Tai Chi vortex, enveloping Long Fei’s five Golden Buddha Dharma Laksanas.

The mega vortex spun swiftly, devouring the five basic elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Instantly, clouds tore from the sky, all-around elemental force was swallowed within.

Seemingly the whole Mount Hua was being devoured by the vortex.

Clouds wrapped, enshrouding Long Fei’s Golden Buddha statues like an outer robe of clouds.

Rumble,

Rumble,

Various elements ferociously devoured and collided, the killing aura rolling and spreading in the sky, making the earth tremble, shaking Mount Hua’s peaks dramatically.

Within the Five Elements Formation vortex, turned into seas of fire, gold, water, wood, and earth.

Even the Vajra body entering would be shredded to fragments.

Even the entire Mount Hua entering, would instantaneously transform into mist.
