Wandering Gods of Day and Night

"Go... go."

Zhou Xuan waved his right arm gently, and slowly pushed the water drop forward.

The water drop floated lightly towards the Green Robe Dharma Form and struck it,

The sparkling water drop entered the body of the Dharma Form and then burst fiercely,

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A series of immense explosions echoed inside the towering Dharma Form,

Raging rivers and grand mountains surged within the Green Robe Dharma Form’s body,

A brand new world continually evolved and expanded within the Dharma Form.

Until this world expanded large enough, the Dharma Form could no longer withstand it, exploding like a dam bursting with a "bang".

The Dharma Form shattered,

Along with it, the Buddha Heart of the Green Robed Buddha also shattered.

"How could this be? How could this be?"

"This is my Dharma Form that I spent nearly nine hundred years molding."

The Green Robed Buddha watched as his famous Dharma Form shattered before his eyes in the hands of a disciple of Seven Incense Sticks.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky scattered, and tranquility returned to the Zhou Family’s Troupe,

Zhou Xuan stood with his arms crossed,

While the Green Robed Buddha knelt on the ground, head touching the earth, appearing both mournful and enraged, as well as regretful.

The Eternal Life Sect Leader exchanged a glance with Tiancan Monk and then smiled wryly.

What does overwhelming victory mean?

What does breaking through like a hot knife through butter mean?

What does the Taoist saying "the softest thing in the world can overcome the hardest; the formless can penetrate the seamless" mean?

This drop of water from Master Zhou is a shining example!

"Master Zhou’s momentum is so mysterious, it caused us a false alarm."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader was not concerned about whether the Green Robed Buddha’s "Buddha Heart shattered"; he cared only if Zhou Xuan was unharmed.

...

In the kitchen of the Zhou Family’s Troupe, Yuan Buyu watched the power struggle outside through the window.

Yuan Buyu had more confidence in the outcome of this power struggle than Qing Yangyu—as his own Dream Buddha was shattered last night by the Great Wisdom Finger of Zhao Wuya.

He believed that since Zhou Xuan dared to initiate this power struggle, he must have confidence in using the "Great Wisdom Finger".

The only question was how could Zhou Xuan, a disciple who studied both Taoist and witchcraft, utilize the Buddhist Sect’s Great Wisdom?

Now, Yuan Buyu had his answer.

"Using the Taoist World Technique to drive the Buddhist Great Wisdom, such a method of claiming territory, only my disciple could think of it."

"My disciple is remarkable; the Prajna Water he learned and sold on the spot is no less powerful than Cliff Boy’s Great Wisdom Finger."

"Regardless of other abilities, just the fact that he sells what he learns on the spot means he is destined to be the Nine Incense Sticks of Jing Country."

Watching Zhou Xuan through the window, Yuan Buyu increasingly grew fond of him.

"Which master wouldn’t love a talented disciple?"

Watching, Yuan Buyu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

...

"Not good, the Buddha Heart of the Green Robe is broken."

Lu Shenjun of the Gate of Eternal Life slapped his thigh in frustration upon witnessing Zhou Xuan’s water drop transform into the form of mighty rivers.

"Ha ha ha!"

Qing Yangyu was genuinely happy, laughing heartily, "Lu Shenjun, you tell me, winning a Red Worm Pill from you without breaking a sweat, is there really such a good deal in this world?"

Lu Shenjun’s words were like a boomerang, returning to stab himself.

"Qing Yangyu, was today’s power struggle between you and Zhou Xuan a setup against Green Robed Buddha?"

Even having seen it with his own eyes, Lu Shenjun felt that Zhou Xuan’s victory over the Green Robed Buddha must involve some trickery.

Moreover, it was not just a victory, but an overwhelming triumph.

Qing Yangyu didn’t bother to explain, nodding as he said, "Yes, consider it a setup—that will make you feel better."

"..."

Lu Shenjun did not expect Qing Yangyu’s words to be so sharp; he tossed the crimson Insect Pill to Qing Yangyu with a scowl, "You remember, if I find out that you set up Green Robed Buddha, I will definitely seek justice for him."

"Then you should work hard to investigate and never give up."

Qing Yangyu’s sharp tongue delivered another blow to Lu Shenjun, "By the way, Lu Shenjun, without substantial evidence, you should be cautious if you attempt to confront Zhou Xuan,

Master Zhou might not have other abilities, but a few days ago, he managed to refine several hundred Joyful Longevity Pills in one batch of Eighth-grade Elixirs,

and then refined an "Insect Ancestor Pill" in another batch, and Bai Yujing is still assessing the grade of this pill."

He mentioned Zhou Xuan’s achievements to warn Lu Shenjun not to rashly intervene for the Green Robed Buddha since Zhou Xuan is now formidable,

What if you are the Palace Master of Golden Crow Palace?

You still need to be careful.

"Hmph."

Lu Shenjun said nothing more and immediately entered the Fire Gate to return to Golden Crow Palace.

...

"My Buddha Heart is broken, and the Buddha Sound no longer resonates."

The Green Robed Buddha knelt in the courtyard of the Zhou Family’s Troupe, feeling despondent.

Zhou Xuan approached the Green Robed Buddha and asked, "Old Buddha, when power struggles are lost, this is the outcome."

In Jing Country, power struggles are divided into three types,

One is when the weak triumph over the strong,

One is when both sides are evenly matched,

One is when one side is extremely strong and the other extremely weak, and the strong overcome the weak.

In these three types of power struggles, the last is easy to recover from, as the weak are inherently weak; losing to the strong may damage the Tao Heart or Buddha Heart but leads to minimal damage.

But in the first two types, the damage to the Tao Heart or Buddha Heart is immense.

Zhou Xuan and the Green Robed Buddha belong to the first type—a disciple of Seven Incense Sticks, in a power struggle, greatly triumphing over the Sky Dome Buddha,

This directly resulted in the Green Robed Buddha’s Buddha Heart shattering, and the Buddha Bell in his heart being destroyed.

Of course, this destruction is not irreversible.

For instance, last night, Yuan Buyu’s Dream Buddha was defeated by Zhao Wuya, shattering his aura and damaging his Tao Heart,

So Yuan Buyu was willing to put his pride aside and engage Zhao Wuya in an earnest fight.

Fortunately, Zhou Xuan stepped in timely and informed Yuan Buyu that the real opponent was not Zhao Wuya but the Nine Heavens Realm Lord of Buddha Country, the Prajna Heavenly King.

Only then did Yuan Buyu realize his opponent was so formidable, and his damaged Tao Heart naturally recovered to its original state.

"What they call damage to the Tao Heart is, bluntly, a psychological shadow."

"A problem in the heart needs a medicine of the heart to cure."

Zhou Xuan fully understood this matter.

In fact, the current Green Robed Buddha could, like Yuan Buyu intended to fight Zhao Wuya, rely on a high Incense Fire Level to reclaim his stance.

Once he reclaimed his stance, overcoming the Heart Demon, the Buddha Heart would naturally restore, and the Buddha Sound could resonate long again.

But Zhou Xuan is ultimately not Zhao Wuya.

The Green Robed Buddha didn’t know Zhou Xuan deeply enough; this defeat in a power struggle left him without courage or boldness.

He simply didn’t believe in his own strength any longer, thinking that even relying on Incense Fire Level, he might not surpass Zhou Xuan.

"Master Zhou, you’re a hero in your youthful years; at the age of twenty, you broke my Buddha Heart. I have nothing to say."

The Green Robed Buddha sighed; he wanted to challenge Zhou Xuan again but feared an even greater defeat...

Zhou Xuan then said, "Old Buddha, your Buddha Heart is broken, and further progress in cultivation is impossible—but I have a way to restore your Buddha Heart."

Hearing Zhou Xuan’s words, the Green Robed Buddha hastily raised his head, eyes filled with hopeful light, with all previous arrogance swept away...
