I Have A Dual World Seal

When Lu Zheng and the others still have the energy to comment and complain, it means Zen Master Huiejue’s current state is not bad.

Zen Master Huiejue did not boast extravagantly. His ten years of torment granted him exceptional insight into the Celestial Bead Buddha Power, whereas Master Dahuo’s progress was not as substantial as imagined.

When both individuals are relatively evenly matched, and one side’s resistance to magic suddenly increases, surpassing the other’s attack power increment, the latter feels a great deal of discomfort.

At this moment, Master Dahuo is experiencing such discomfort, suddenly realizing his attack on Zen Master Huiejue is not as effective.

Neither the Five-Colored Celestial Bead Guided Buddha Power nor the Great Brightness Descending into the World with Endless Buddha Light affected Zen Master Huiejue significantly.

This left Master Dahuo both shocked and surprised.

Compared to ten years ago, Zen Master Huiejue’s progress was not noticeable, and his cultivation even remained stagnant, so how did he suddenly become immune to the Celestial Bead Buddha Power?

Not only was Master Dahuo surprised, but the monks from Celestial Pearl Temple and other Western Buddhism monks accompanying him were equally astonished.

Their level of cultivation and Dao practice was similar to Master Dahuo, so they could clearly see that Master Dahuo’s displayed strength was already quite formidable.

Logically, they should have a profound understanding of the techniques of Celestial Pearl Temple, yet they knew even if they stepped into the arena, they would not perform better than Zen Master Huiejue.

Master Daqi’s eyes narrowed, several thoughts flashing through his mind, "Could a High Monk from the Central Plains have enlightened Monk Huiejue?"

To Master Daqi, it seemed impossible for Zen Master Huiejue to reach this level by himself. It was conceivable only with help from a Central Plains High Monk, granting profound teachings to Zen Master Huiejue and boosting his combat effectiveness against Celestial Pearl Temple even with unchanged cultivation.

"You overestimate those Central Plains High Monks and underestimate Brother Dahuo."

The rotund monk frowned, saying, "I’ve met the High Monks of Celestial Dragon Temple and Fahua Temple. If they personally intervened, they indeed prove extraordinary, but to enable Monk Huiejue to reach this level... it’s not something mere enlightenment could achieve."

"Indeed!"

The handsome monk nodded, stating, "If the Great Brightness Universal Spirit Pearl Scripture of Celestial Pearl Temple was that easily deciphered, then our Western Buddhism would have long been subdued by Central Plains Buddhism."

Thus, the white-faced, beardless old monk became highly curious, "Then what’s happening here? Why does Monk Huiejue seem so unbothered facing Junior Brother Dahuo?"

Everyone exchanged glances, speechless for a moment, then looked up at the sky and frowned.

In midair, Master Dahuo and Monk Huiejue remained in a stalemate.

Behind Zen Master Huiejue, the Guilan Great Buddha formed the Meditation Seal, standing motionless like a mountain. The Buddha Radiance Sea Waves behind him layered and cascaded incessantly.

Master Dahuo wasn’t shaken by Zen Master Huiejue’s performance; put simply, they had just begun their confrontation, and the victor remained uncertain.

Since you remain unmoved, I will increase my power!

Master Dahuo spread his hands, and a brass bell appeared in them.

"Jingle... Jingle..."

Master Dahuo drew upon the spirit of his sea of consciousness, using the bell in his hand to invoke it. The Thousand-Handed Celestial Pearl Buddha shifted facial expressions, representing seven emotions, as endless Celestial Bead Buddha Power morphed into spiritual telekinesis. It pierced through the layers of Guilan Great Buddha’s radiant Buddha Light, entering Zen Master Huiejue’s mind.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Zen Master Huiejue exclaimed the Buddha’s name, also spreading his hands, adding a wooden fish in the left and a wooden hammer in the right.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The wooden hammer struck the wooden fish, producing a deep but resonant sound that immediately interrupted the bell’s ringing.

Then, the Great Buddha’s hand within Zen Master Huiejue’s sea of consciousness formed the Teaching Seal, eyes tightly closed, while chanting the Sutra of Unmoving Observation, spreading Buddha Light, steadfast as a mountain, shielding his divine soul airtight.

Master Dahuo’s Spirit Secret Technique penetrated layers of barriers before entering Zen Master Huiejue’s sea of consciousness, only causing minor ripples before subsiding.

Master Dahuo squinted his eyes, abandoning the idea of overpowering Zen Master Huiejue in a short time.

He then shook the bell with his left hand, while his right hand swiftly formed seals. The Thousand-Handed Celestial Pearl Buddha behind him unleashed endless transformations. Celestial Bead Buddha Power varied limitlessly, evolving infinite emotional telekinesis to besiege Zen Master Huiejue.

Zen Master Huiejue steadfastly defended his divine soul, employing Guilan Buddha Light in a rigid counterattack, imposing his presence.

The two entered a brief stalemate phase.

Shen Ying took over Si Lingxi’s task, advising Yang Caiyi, "Although they both seem to be using the same moves repeatedly, there’s actually a lot of variation beneath the surface."

"That Master Dahuo, with his Five-Colored Celestial Bead Guided Buddha Power changing endlessly, just in the time we spoke, he’s executed at least fourteen different types of telekinesis attacks."

Shen Ying explained, "And Zen Master Huiejue, his actions may be lesser, yet amidst the subtle fluctuations of Buddha Light and sea waves, there’s inherent threat, constantly posing a challenge to Master Dahuo from the sidelines."

Yang Caiyi nodded, "Master Aunt is impressive; I discerned only ten variations from Master Dahuo and sensed fluctuating Buddha Light from Zen Master Huiejue, though not clearly."

With Yang Caiyi’s words, Lu Zheng and the others were accustomed and barely felt anything, but the others turned toward Yang Caiyi in shock.

Lu Zheng’s profound cultivation, together with Liu Qingyan, Shen Ying, and Du Yueyao’s strong abilities, kept their foundations obscure, yet Yang Caiyi’s less than five hundred years of Dao practice was evident to them.

They initially thought Lu Zheng and the others merely brought a junior along for exposure, but surprisingly, this junior could observe parts of the combat?

Ignore Yang Caiyi; even the next-level experts brought by various ancestors, like Zen Master Dengjing of Guilan Temple, Master Danhua of Jade Sun Temple, Jun Pinglan’s top disciple and Jiang Fei’s grandson could not perceive these details.

"Is this young girl also from White Cloud Temple?" Jun Pinglan couldn’t help but ask, upon hearing Yang Caiyi call Shen Ying "Master Aunt."

"No," Lu Zheng replied, "Yet she cultivates Daoist techniques and belongs to... one of my wife’s disciples."

Jiang Fei glanced at Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao.

Du Yueyao blushed, while Liu Qingyan shook her head and laughed, "Sister Lingxi is not here."

Everyone comprehended, and then led by Jiang Fei, Jun Pinglan’s disciple, and Jiang Fei’s grandson, they cast envious glances at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng coughed twice, then straightened his chest inconspicuously, continuing to observe the battle.

Jun Pinglan smiled slightly, glanced at the sky’s battleground, then said to Star-Fishing Elder, "Seems we don’t need to send Huiejue off."

Star-Fishing Elder nodded, his eyes condensed, saying calmly, "We’ll see if Huiejue can keep this monk down."

"Keep him down..."

Jun Pinglan tilted his head up, observing Master Dahuo leading the attack and Zen Master Huiejue defending.

"It will depend on whether Master Dahuo holds Huiejue in high enough regard..."
