Wandering Gods of Day and Night

They say it’s a mountain Buddha, but it’s more like a ghost in the mist.

"I was but a boatman on the river, one day saw the Buddha, and only then realized my own destiny, it is to sail against the river, to ferry all the beings across the world."

"Part the clouds and see the sun, disperse the fog and behold the Buddha."

The Green Robed Buddha suddenly tore with both hands, as if ripping open a strange and wide curtain,

And the Dharma Image behind him finally broke through the fog, the Buddha in the mist revealed a ferocious face and an unstoppable momentum.

"Master Zhou, my momentum is formed, it’s your turn to show your momentum."

The Green Robed Buddha, confident in his own momentum, clasped his hands in salute towards Zhou Xuan.

"Your Buddha is indeed huge, but... it’s more clumsy than it is agile."

Zhou Xuan, after saying this, reached behind himself, and lightly pulled out a figure.

This figure was exactly like Zhou Xuan in stature, appearing very petite in front of that enormous Green Robed Buddha Dharma Image,

"Is this your Dharma Image? Too weak, far too weak."

The Green Robed Buddha directly snorted in disdain at Zhou Xuan.

"My Dharma Image, like myself, focuses on elegance and grace, specializing in a light and nimble approach, how could an ordinary person like you understand its intricacies."

Zhou Xuan continued to provoke with words,

And the Green Robed Buddha completely took the bait, he immediately commanded his own Dharma Image — with its towering body that reached the clouds, it would crush Zhou Xuan’s Dharma Image with one foot, thus winning this battle of momentum.

Only to see, the expansive Buddha Dharma Image upon the river surface, bowing down, and drinking up the waters of the Spring Flower River,

Then rising straight, pointing to the blazing sun, the sun like a fiery golden disk, fell behind the Buddha, serving as his golden wheel of Buddha light.

The colorful clouds became the Buddha’s streamer, his magical powers vastly increased, his momentum accumulated to the extreme, only needing to turn Qingshan into the source of his life force, he could then unleash a strike with enough power to destroy the entire State.

But Zhou Xuan’s Dharma Image, like a scholar, leisurely walking around, recited some scriptures, and wandered back into Zhou Xuan’s body.

The Dharma Image and man became one, the momentum was not outwardly expressed.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader observed and reminded: "Master Zhou, it would be better to release your Dharma Image. Losing a momentum battle only means your Dharma Image gets destroyed,

but if your Dharma Image is one with you, losing could mean great harm to yourself."

Tiancan Monk was anxious too, not understanding what Zhou Xuan intended to do.

"No worries, you two just enjoy the show."

Zhou Xuan still smiled.

...

In the stone house of the Gate of Eternal Life, the Divine Monarch of the Golden Crow Palace, Lu Shenjun, paced back and forth, occasionally asking Zhong Guan: "Has the Green Sheep Palace Master arrived?"

"Soon, soon... The Palace Master overindulged in elixirs last night, his mind now still hazy, currently waking up from the elixirs."

Zhong Guan replied with a laugh.

"Still waking up, waking up still, that Green Sheep Palace Master will inevitably ruin himself on those elixirs."

"Divine Monarch brother, that’s unreasonable, you take elixirs, I take elixirs, why would only I be ruined by them, while you remain unharmed?"

Qing Yangyu’s voice wafted over; he finally appeared inside the Gate of Eternal Life.

"Green Sheep Palace Master, quickly look at Zhou Xuan’s fine work."

Lu Shenjun conjured a fire in the air, intense as a mirror, showing Zhou Xuan and the Green Robed Buddha’s ’battle of momentum’.

"Master Zhou is...?" Qing Yangyu was still somewhat unresponsive.

Lu Shenjun coldly stated: "That Zhou Xuan encountered a calamity in the human world, asked Green Robed Buddha for help,

Green Robed Buddha descended to the world, ended up being humiliated by Zhou Xuan, and now Zhou Xuan wants to battle momentum with Green Robed."

"Oh... Master Zhou, how can he be so... so carefree?"

Qing Yangyu couldn’t help but admire: "A mere mortal body dares to battle momentum with the Sky Dome Buddha, such a free-spirited nature, not unlike my former self."

"Qing Yangyu!"

Lu Shenjun felt a sense of "if the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will be crooked", Qing Yangyu was errant and so was Zhou Xuan.

He spoke righteously: "Today Zhou Xuan and Green Robed battle, he is certain to lose momentum, with his Dharma Image joining with himself, losing momentum will most likely cause him some illness,

I’m speaking bluntly, should anything happen to Zhou Xuan, should the lords of Bai Yujing inquire, you’d have to explain it to them."

"In any case, my palace’s Green Robed is not at fault."

Lu Shenjun worried about Zhou Xuan, but it was the prospect of Zhou Xuan being severely injured by the Green Robed Buddha, leading to Bai Yujing holding them accountable.

"Ah, Lu Shenjun, you’re too arrogant, according to you, Master Zhou of our Changsheng Palace is sure to lose today?"

Qing Yangyu responded with a question.

"..." Lu Shenjun.

Even in a serious situation, Lu Shenjun couldn’t help but chuckle, then replied icily, with a touch of disdain: "Qing Yang, have the elixirs muddled your mind? A mere mortal, battling momentum with the Sky Dome Buddha?"
