Chapter 1573 - 579: Red Lotus Enlightenment
In three directions of Jing Country, there were dense clouds rolling with various colors, which were considered as supernatural phenomena.
However, since the three formations of clouds were still quite distant from Lotus Temple,
Standing within Lotus Temple, even with the utmost gaze, one could only see three faint halos.
Thus, those within the Lotus Temple had not yet noticed the "once in a lifetime" super phenomenon.
The Ancient Buddha Giant Image of the Golden Body Slave overlooked the earth, meticulously appreciating the fiery red lotus.
Around the lotus, there was a misty white fog, and inside the fog, there were many patterns — almost all resembling the Nuoxi Grass Gods.
"Zhou Xuan at this moment is the shadow of Nuoshen, and many of the divine shadows of those Grass Gods constituting his body have already been refined."
The Golden Body Slave, smugly, closed his eyes and inhaled the fragrance produced by the mist, saying in intoxication, "Such rich spiritual energy, this Zhou Xuan, is indeed the heavenly treasure for alchemy, how could Jing Country’s Human Pill or Qi Pill compare to this Xuandan!"
"With this elixir in Snow Plain Prefecture, the incense fire level might drastically increase, becoming the strongest Prefecture City among the Nine Mansions."
The other four slaves all smiled with delight.
Only the Bead Holder Slave, in past years, was very close to the Evil Ghost Slave, now with the Evil Ghost Slave dead, and Zhou Xuan about to be refined into a pill, his emotions were the most complex,
"Evil Ghost oh Evil Ghost, we’ve avenged you."
"It’s a pity, the slave master initially did not regard Zhou Xuan highly, if we had created the Ancient Buddha Mirror Image right from the start, how would you have died? And how could the mirror image of the Ancient Buddha be weakened?"
The mirror image of the Ancient Buddha was originally formed by the Six Slaves,
At this moment, one slave less, there was indeed an impact.
If the mirror image formed by the Six Slaves could inherit three hand seals of the Ancient Buddha, now, however, there was one seal missing.
"But, without one seal it is without one seal, as long as there are two major hand seals, even the mirror image of the Ancient Buddha can sweep through the now defeated Jing Country."
The Bead Holder Slave thought thusly...
...
"Young Master, do I not need to act yet?"
"Mr., are you not releasing the Danzi to extinguish this roaring blaze in the furnace yet?"
Both the Witch God and Alchemist Bai Lu had ways to resolve this furnace of Red Lotus Karma Fire, but Zhou Xuan seemed obstinate and hadn’t employed either of their methods, making the two somewhat anxious.
Alchemist Bai Lu was anxiously helpless, while the Witch God seemed to be making some resolution — disregard Zhou Xuan’s opposition, forcibly act, and extinguish that Red Lotus.
He was already inclined to move, but merely inclined,
The Witch God was well aware of Zhou Xuan’s temperament — the esteemed Mr. of Mingjiang Prefecture, once he decided on something, even nine divine oxen could not pull him back.
If disregarding Zhou Xuan’s thoughts and rashly rescuing, Zhou Xuan might not only be ungrateful, but rather grow distant inside.
The Witch God had chosen Zhou Xuan as the backbone of Jing Country when Buddha Country invades, ruining it over such a hasty rescue surely wasn’t worth it.
The Witch God gazed at the scene within the Red Lotus, silently for several moments, still suppressing the desire to rescue.
"It hasn’t reached the last moment yet."
The Witch God reminded himself.
This gigantic Red Lotus, refining Zhou Xuan also had its rules — it would first refine the Grass Gods within Zhou Xuan’s giant image.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire would not harm Zhou Xuan until these Grass Gods were completely refined.
"Since it hasn’t reached the limit, I ought to trust this Young Master."
The Witch God finally made the ultimate decision.
He chose to continue trusting Zhou Xuan, until the moment when all Grass Gods were refined.
If all Grass Gods became elixirs in the furnace, when the Fire Lotus was about to harm Zhou Xuan, it wouldn’t be too late to intervene.
"Well, let that Young Master have his way once more."
This Heavenly Venerate of Jing Country who always spoke decisively, today, like a rock shaken by wild winds, rarely yielded a bit for Zhou Xuan.
Inside the Fire Lotus, there was no more excessive voices,
All sounds were merely those of the fiery lotus burning, followed by those Grass Gods turning into elixirs with faint rustling sounds,
Zhou Xuan remained silent, he even considered the sound from fire and elixirs as conducive white noise for thought, continually focusing on those nine masks.
"These nine masks seem rather abrupt."
This was Zhou Xuan’s thought.
It wasn’t his first time wielding the power of Nuoshen.
Previously in Peng Town, Zhou Xuan returned to three hundred years ago, Nuoshen and Blood Well simultaneously descended into him,
He carefully recalled that episode of "Nuoshen descending," and he discerned clearly, back then, there were no nine masks around him.
Last time there weren’t, but this time there were,
Zhou Xuan felt this couldn’t be a coincidence.
He began deeper thinking,
"Nuoshen is an ancient Heavenly God, with nine ancient Heavenly Gods in Jing Country in total."
Zhou Xuan once heard Yun Ziliang disseminating mysticism knowledge, he knew those nine Heavenly God Levels each mastered a complete Law of Jing Country.
Those later elevated to Heavenly God Level, also became such by learning a complete law.
For example, incense fire Taoist, from this Taoist’s few actions, Zhou Xuan deduced he mastered the complete Star Law.
Whereas Nuoshen mastered the complete Law of Destiny.
Thus, after inheriting Nuoshen’s power, he would only inherit two abilities — Nuoshen’s perfect combat physique, and the Law of Destiny.
