Chapter 129: The Old Monk Will Eventually Achieve Nirvana Here
“Puff, puff, puff, puff…” Fireballs the size of bowls rained down from above, turning the electric eel into roasted eel. However, this only ignited its ferocity. With a dance of silver snakes, electric light surged, resonating with the clouds, overwhelming all obstacles!
“Boom, boom, boom…” Li Hui and Qian Duohai turned around simultaneously, completely surprised by the electric eel’s immense power. No wonder it had been suppressed; this creature was a disharmonious element in the region, needing no one else to breach the array—it could handle everything itself.
The ground shattered as the Blood Sea surged, creating massive waves hundreds of zhang high, appearing far off like towering mountains descending upon them, effortlessly obliterating the Twenty-Seventh Layer of Restrictions while releasing fireballs.
Incredibly, the electric eel shrank from a hundred zhang to fifty zhang, developing numerous wrinkles on its skin, resembling a shar-pei among fish.
Li Hui and Qian Duohai thought it was over, but thick fire clouds drifted in the sky, and the fierce magic flames descended from above, fiery beyond imagination!
The Blood Sea blazed, and the electric eel twisted its body incessantly. Not knowing if it was stubborn or tenacious, it battled against heaven and earth again, squeezing every ounce of electricity within to erupt in madness.
“Bang!”
The sea churned, electric light flickered, and hearts raced! So what if the magic flames scorched the sea? I soar and dance to the heavens.
In Qian Duohai’s astonished gaze, Li Hui suddenly moved. Rather than charging forward, he floated backwards, waved his hand, releasing nine massive heads and carefully drew out a talisman. He declared, “Such fighting spirit, such courage, not fearing heaven or earth! Today, I gift you a monster-conjuring talisman. May you have the chance to step onto the path of cultivation.”
Amidst the burning magic flames below, the nine heads formed the Four Yin Four Yang Flying Head Burial Array, opening wide to swallow the flickering flames, afterward chewing contentedly, their faces revealing joy.
“Admonish!”
Li Hui stamped a talisman light down. He genuinely wished to support the electric eel, but with just one Nine Patterns Three Exotics monster-conjuring talisman, lacking that nurturing process from hatching from a young age, he was unsure of its effectiveness.
He admitted his impulsiveness but understood that from the electric eel, he had gained insight into fearlessness against heaven and earth. How could one become a cultivator without going against the heavens? How could one glimpse the Dao without defiance?
“Come! Receive this talisman and awaken your intelligence!”
Amidst the magic flames, Li Hui began to activate the Heavenly and Earthly Arrays in his body, forming a magic flame vortex around himself. The nine heads eagerly began to swallow; the chill emanating from within them was palpable. The Yin Soul Beads devoured in the Wangfu of Fusu City had yet to digest and clashed with the magic flames, creating a subtle balance, like the yin-yang fish of Taiji swirling endlessly.
With the help of the Yin-Yang Nine Heads, although the electric eel was on the verge of death, it temporarily preserved its life. The talisman light perfectly stamped onto its forehead, and nine watermelon-sized lights appeared, revealing the forms of white-horned rhinos swirling around the electric eel’s head, suddenly colliding and piercing nine bloody holes to merge within.
“Did it succeed?” Li Hui watched in astonishment. The nine-headed rhinos were the exotic patterns formed by three iterations on the back of the talisman, and their white horns were indeed intended for this purpose, piercing through the heads to drill inside!
The electric eel thrashed uncontrollably, suddenly tightening its body, shrinking again from fifty zhang to ten zhang. It then slumped down, seeming lifeless, with no more electric light bursting forth.
“Is it dead? No, not yet; it’s merely hibernating. I don’t know how long it will take to wake up.” Li Hui breathed a sigh of relief. If he had accidentally killed the eel, it would have been quite embarrassing.
Behind him, the Bamboo Box separated into upper and lower layers, with two small drawers in between.
Li Hui had already transferred all items from the bag of treasures, including the peach tree demon and poison dragon eel, to the lower layer of the Bamboo Box. There was plenty of space for one more electric eel. But this creature was too temperamental; who knew what it would do when it woke up? It would be safer to keep it in the bag of treasures.
Regardless, the situation at the Twenty-Seventh Layer of Restrictions had unfolded as it had, and how much power would remain after the magic flames scorched the sea? This greatly facilitated the practitioners who would come later to breach the restrictions, all thanks to the electric eel’s efforts.
As Li Hui approached the center of the restrictions, he saw a blood jade teleportation array rising nine zhang high, like an altar. Qian Duohai had already stood on it, filling the nine interlocking grooves with large amounts of blood stones, laughing heartily, “Haha, Brother Hui, you’re a step behind! I’ll go ahead and scout the way!”
As he spoke, the teleportation array shimmered with red light.
Li Hui felt a tinge of embarrassment and shook his head with a bitter smile. “What an Oath-Bound Brother, seizing every opportunity to escape. Well, as for my Jade Symbol, Li Yingjun possesses a virtue: letting little people have temporary triumphs to achieve their names. Haha, who can decipher fate? Perhaps we’ll meet again soon.”
When he stepped onto the high platform and dropped five pieces of premium blood stones into the grooves, which were rewards for teleporting from the Blood Phantasm Maze to the Blood Sea, he wondered where Qian Duohai obtained so many blood stones for the teleportation. He hoped for a chance to break out of this cursed place, but with the Hongmo Sect capturing numerous cultivators, they wouldn’t easily release anyone after crossing the checkpoint.
“Go!” The teleportation array activated again, and Li Hui was slightly startled; the bag of treasures quivered, carrying the waist token inscribed with “Hongmo Yue.”
In the next moment, as light and shadow danced, flying stars sped through, and time flowed like a white horse passing through a gap! It felt like ages had passed, yet it was merely a fleeting moment!
This feeling was peculiar; before he could savor it, countless lights and shadows rushed in.
“Hmm?” Li Hui was greatly astonished, seeing Qian Duohai arrive at a place resembling a training ground, crimson numbers written in ancient script swirling around him. Then they transformed into generals riding fiery steeds, leading soldiers off to battle.
In a hazy vision, it seemed there were many scenes—training grounds, villages, mountain strongholds, and ships—many cultivators appeared to be playing roles, drifting apart on different life paths.
“Boom…” The ground trembled, and when Li Hui came back to his senses, he realized he had entered a temple constructed of gold.
Here, there were no devotees bowing in prayer or monks chanting scriptures; instead, extravagant sounds echoed from the grand hall, mixed with laughter and shameless panting, even more thrilling than a brothel.
The moment his left foot stepped into the hall, seven golden lotus Dharma clouds burst forth.
Li Hui glanced and was left speechless, noticing many monks groping beautiful female cultivators, while an old monk sat in the place where the Buddha should be, staring seriously at a dancing female cultivator in the center of the hall.
The other female cultivators were one thing, but among the dancers was one whose beauty surpassed all others, even Mu Qianyun seemed to pale in comparison.
So beautiful!
Unlike Mu Qianyun’s gentle demeanor, she exuded an endless allure, making one want to pounce on her, pin her down, and indulge. Her dance seemed like that of a Celestial Demon, each breath teasing the senses.
The old monk seated on the divine stage suddenly glanced towards the door, bewildered, “Child, as a disciple of the Buddhist sect, why do you appear like a candidate rushing for an exam? Which temple did you ordain in? It has been many years since I’ve seen such authentic golden lotus Dharma clouds!”
“Master!” Li Hui joined his palms and inquired, “Since you have not fallen into delusion, why allow the entire temple to indulge in such excess?”
“Haha!” The thin old monk laughed, “What can I do? It’s a karmic connection! I will inevitably achieve nirvana here in Guangxiao Temple. Just look at this waist token, then look at this beauty. Tsk tsk, Qian Qiu Yue is my favorite vegetarian dish! It’s hopeless; just one more glance makes me happy even if I achieve nirvana!”
