Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Lei Jun still managed to focus on the battle.

......

Northern Apricot Mountain of Longdong.

This mountain range no longer exists.

The giant golden sphere suspended in mid-air tends to gradually expand over time.

Where the golden sphere extends, the mountains and rocks completely collapse or even vanish, and the forest catches fire, turning to ashes.

The scorching golden sphere seems like a sun descending to low altitude, burning fiercely.

And within the golden sphere, the unparalleled battle has reached a fever pitch.

Amidst the vast golden ocean of thunder and fire, stood a figure resembling a Buddha statue.

His entire body was like Vajra, his entire being’s Buddha light already turned blue, manifesting a fury appearance, surrounded by almost colorless yet immensely powerful flames of the Bright King.

Even the surrounding golden sea of thunder and fire could not breach those colorless flames of the Bright King, assaulting the Vajra Body Fury Appearance of the Vajra Sect Leader Garuda.

He held in one hand the Vajra Division’s treasure, the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter, and in the other hand, he clasped the Earth-Touching Seal, striking down violently.

The vast Pure Yang Sea was also broken apart by it.

The Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Buddhist Hand Seal Lineage’s Dharma Body Realm is divided into five levels: initially forming the Dharma Body, achieving the Accomplished Mind, achieving the Bodhi Heart, cultivating the Vajra Heart, and ultimately cultivating the Vajra Body.

The second level, Accomplished Mind of the Ninth Layer, cultivates the Bright Moon Wheel of Perfection, only an elbow wide, inherently pure and greatly reducing potential harm from opponents.

At the third level, Bodhi Heart of the Ninth Layer, the Bright Moon Wheel extends widely in all directions when released, and contracts to an elbow’s range when retracted.

The fourth level, Vajra Heart of the Ninth Layer, does not require releasing the Bright Moon Wheel; oneself becomes as solid as Vajra, greatly immune to enemy attacks, striking as if nothing can withstand, capable of generating the flames of the Bright King, although the flames harm both self and others.

At the fifth and perfect level of the Ninth Layer, one attains the Vajra Body Realm, termed Five Aspects Fulfilling Body. While attacking and defending are further enhanced, it can truly sustain the flames of the Bright King.

Experts of the Buddhist Sect at this level also fully exploit the characteristics of the Hand Seal Lineage—mastery in all areas. They reach extremely high standards in physical attack and defense, mental spirit, even body movement and teleportation, leaving almost no weaknesses.

To defeat a Buddhist expert like this, often requires having an extraordinary specialization, reaching an unparalleled existence, rather than looking for Garuda’s particular weakness to exploit.

At this moment, the golden sea beneath the Vajra Sect Leader proactively parted, and a similarly golden Divine Vessel Giant Ship seemed to sail forth, breaking through the wind and waves.

But it too was held still by his move, the Earth-Touching Seal, unable to advance.

The Pure Yang Boat halted its momentum, yet the bow emitted a vast purple light, akin to sword light and thunder light, cleaving down towards the Vajra Sect Leader.

The Vajra Sect Leader’s form spun, exceedingly nimble.

The Great Vajra Wheel Seal enhancing the body’s energy and speed.

The Inner Binding Seal discerning the enemy, countering them in advance.

The Wisdom Fist Seal disrupting space.

The marvelous principles of the three great Dharma Seals automatically manifested, seamlessly integrated, aiding the Vajra Sect Leader in evading Tang Xiaotang’s Blade of Thunder pursuit.

Simultaneously, the Vajra Sect Leader also raised the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter in his hand, counterattacking Tang Xiaotang.

His Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter was an actual precious treasure of the Sumi Vajra Division, not a shadow delayed by the mana of Buddhist practitioners above the third level of the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

The Buddha light on the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter gathered, revealing a blue hue, fully manifesting the mystery of the Vajra being able to cut through all vexations.

In fact, on the Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter, there additionally gathered invisible and colorless flames of the Bright King, transforming into seemingly transparent blades, further enhancing its lethality, reaching a sharpness unseen in other Vajra Division practitioners.

This is at least a Ninth Layer Fourth Level discipline, requiring Ninth Layer Fifth Level Perfection to truly master the Sumi absolute technique.

The Great Bright King Spirit Blade.

At that time, when the Vajra Sect Leader was trapped in the Great Yin-Yang Nine Palaces Immortal Array, the Ninth Layer Perfection Sect Leader of Inner Mount Shu, Ji Yao, even with the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls in hand, dared not act carelessly, fearing this blade lest a single mistake could give the Vajra Sect Leader a chance to overturn.

The path of the invisible and colorless blade housed immense fear within, yet left no trace, making it indefensible.

But at this moment, Tang Xiaotang’s eyes flashed.

The golden thunder and fire in her pupils seemed to vanish momentarily.

In this instant, her gaze retained only a barely perceptible clarity.

Then, as Tang Xiaotang moved, lacking any trace of mortal combustions, effortlessly dodged the Vajra Sect Leader’s Great Bright King Spirit Blade.

The Vajra Sect Leader was slightly surprised.

He possessed the Inner Binding Seal, discerning enemy movements, adept in both attack and defense.

Yet just now, in that instant, Tang Xiaotang seemed to completely see through the trajectory of his Great Bright King Spirit Blade.

...Was this how she previously saw through the Nine Consciousness Fantasy Time-Space ambush?

The Vajra Sect Leader was inspired, suddenly thinking of something.

But the two were striking rapidly, leaving no time for deep thought.

In mere moments, they exchanged several moves.

As time passed, the Vajra Sect Leader Garuda surprisingly felt that his perfectly luminous Buddha heart was gradually inferior to the opponent’s.

Tang Xiaotang could more precisely and keenly grasp his movements.

At this moment, the tall woman in a golden-threaded purple robe, though her eyebrows and hair remained platinum-colored, her pupils were clear.

In the depths of her pupils, mysterious symbols flickered quietly with light, presenting a serene and insightful brilliance.

To the Vajra Sect Leader, this was a change not seen in her during the Bashu and Nanzhao battles in the Inner Mount Shu period.

This newly minted first National Master of the Great Tang, due to her personality, often exhibited grand and bold styles during magical duels.

However, Tang Xiaotang put great effort into her cultivation, her foundation solidly built.
