Wandering Gods of Day and Night

"Yes, yes, if it’s like this, what’s the difference from a village ruffian?" Even Tiancan Monk understood the meaning of the Eternal Life Sect Leader and chimed in.

Zhou Xuan, however, didn’t follow the momentum and said, "No problem, I’m used to being cultured in my demeanor, but occasionally acting as a village ruffian can be quite enjoyable too.

As for Green Robed Buddha, you better think it through."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader and Tiancan Monk were left speechless on the spot. They felt that today’s Zhou Xuan seemed overly "passionate," as if he was determined to challenge the Sky Dome Buddha?

"Oh dear, what kind of madness is this?"

The Eternal Life Sect Leader couldn’t help but secretly lament, as he had thought through many possible scenarios before coming for Zhou Xuan’s meeting with Green Robed Buddha—

—The meeting could end dismally, there might be mutual verbal ridicule, Zhou Xuan might reveal the Jade Token of Bai Yujing to coerce Green Robed Buddha to comply, but he never imagined that Zhou Xuan would use Divine Skills to challenge the Sky Dome Buddha.

Green Robed Buddha, who had been stifled for a while, seized the opportunity this time and sneered coldly,

"Master Zhou, regarding the Wash Away Injustice Talisman, you have your reasons, and I have my theory. We can agree to differ and need not speak further, we can just part ways,

But since Master Zhou is so confident in his Divine Skills and wishes to duel with me again, I, Green Robed Buddha, am not one to shy away from challenges,

Then... please, Master, let’s have a duel and grant me one or two moves."

"Sure, sure."

Zhou Xuan leisurely rose and said with ease, hands behind his back, "Green Robed Buddha, you’re a favorite of Golden Crow Palace, and I am the appointed Pill Master of Bai Yujing. It would be unbecoming if we were to fight to the death,

So we won’t fight for life and death, just compare our aura."

"Compare aura?"

Green Robed Buddha couldn’t help but laugh, though when it comes to a mortal duel, he may not yet surpass the Eternal Life Sect Leader, but in terms of aura, which Tangkou in the world can say for sure that their aura can triumph over the Great Buddha Sect?

He couldn’t help but be delighted in his heart, secretly musing, "This Zhou Xuan, I’ve heard of his numerous abilities, Divine Skills, colorful play, storytelling, Thorn Green River Map, Gorge True Scripture,

If it truly came to a sword battle, I fear I would suffer a lot, but now comparing our aura, he can’t show those tricks, quite favorable indeed,

If I break his aura, it can be a lesson for him, teaching this junior not to be arrogant in the future."

After Green Robed Buddha contemplated, he immediately took a stance and said, "Master Zhou, since this is a comparison of aura, for us, it’s considered a ’literary duel.’ Quite fine, quite fine,

Let’s skip the idle talk and have a duel now."

The Eternal Life Sect Leader lamented even more—losing in aura, stumbling over himself, though there’s no danger to one’s life, in future cultivation, it will give rise to many obstacles.

"Master Zhou, do not let that bald Green Robed monk get to you."

This time, the Eternal Life Sect Leader did not even pretend, directly leaned into Zhou Xuan’s ear to softly advise.

"In aura comparison, I’m not even sure I could be an opponent."

"Just because you’re not an opponent doesn’t mean I’m not. Likewise, skip the idle talk, stand aside and enjoy the show."

Zhou Xuan waved his robe sleeves, flicking the Eternal Life Sect Leader aside, then gestured to Green Robed Buddha and said, "Come, allow me to see how imposing the Sky Dome Buddha is."

This "aura duel" was not originally in the plan; he wanted Green Robed Buddha to assist this time and planned to use "the temptation of profit" as the main approach,

Simply put, offering a high enough price to have Green Robed Buddha construct the Sea of Buddha and resonate with the "Yanfu Ti Space,"

But after Zhou Xuan saw Zhao Wuya’s "Great Wisdom Finger" last night, he changed his mind.

To someone like Green Robed Buddha, merely using temptation of profit is not stable, but if he manages to extract something extremely important from Green Robed Buddha—then use this item to blackmail Green Robed Buddha, only then will this Great Buddha genuinely and wholeheartedly heed his command.

Therefore, he had been trying to provoke Green Robed Buddha verbally just to naturally incite this "aura duel."

Green Robed Buddha had already taken his stance and coldly said to Zhou Xuan, "Master Zhou, for the sake of Master Yujing, I advise you once more, though an aura duel doesn’t hurt life, the loser will find their exploration in the path of cultivation severely hindered,

You are an unparalleled genius, do not ruin your Taoist journey due to a moment’s impulsiveness."

"It doesn’t matter, please let the Old Buddha begin."

Zhou Xuan made a "please" gesture,

Green Robed Buddha then released, without reservation, an extremely intense Buddha energy from his body,

The Buddha energy continuously permeated, forming a Dharma Image for him.

In reality, Green Robed Buddha is merely a gaunt old man, not wearing green robes, but wearing a fisherman’s rain cape, seen from afar, he appears to be a mountain villager.

But his Dharma Image truly deserves the name Green Robed Buddha.

"Master, I’m called Green Robed Buddha; before entering the Buddhist path, I was just a fisherman who lived off fishing by Spring Flower River,

One day, clouds steamed and fog swirled on both sides of Spring Flower River, and amidst the mountain fog, a Green Robed Buddha vaguely hovered... I looked up and realized that was my future Buddha’s image."

His Buddha energy in the air was like ink strokes, first sketching out an unusually wide river surface,

Then it painted the mountains on both sides,

The mountains enveloped in misty drizzle, faintly and dimly within the mist, there stood a massive and majestic Evil Buddha.

This Buddha, though bearing the name of Buddha, resembles an Evil Ghost with a blue face and sharp teeth, wearing a white bone necklace around its neck.

He grasped a boat pole with his left hand and held a "Demon Subjugating Pestle" made of condensed white bones in his right hand,
