Chapter 1539 - 567: Life Furnace_2
This question was exactly what Zhou Xuan had hoped for.
Zhou Xuan quickly said, "Senior Brother, do you mean that Zhao Wuya is truly the reincarnation of the Heavenly Peng Divine Bird?"
"That goes without saying."
Boba rubbed the "Heavenly Spirit Magical Artifact" in front of him with his hands and said, "I am Ear Listening Anger, and these ears of mine can always catch some strange and unusual sounds.
Today, while listening to Zhao Wuya, I heard the cry of the Tianpeng.
Moreover, he once served as a vessel for two ’Twenty-one Zen’ simultaneously. If he weren’t the reincarnation of the Heavenly Peng Bird, how could he be so extraordinary?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan said, "What does it matter if he is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Peng Bird? Maybe we should endure for now and not directly face Zhou Xuan’s sharpness.
I heard that lately, Zhou Xuan is like an unsheathed treasured sword, too sharp, Senior Brother, I fear you might suffer because of it."
"If it were any other matter, I would surely just drive that Zhou Xuan away. But the matter concerning the Heavenly Peng Bird cannot be delayed."
Boba stood up, pressed Zhou Xuan’s shoulder, and said, "What the Buddha Mother plans to do will only be more effective with the Heavenly Peng Bird’s blessing."
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan lowered his voice and asked, "Senior Brother, all these years, the Buddha Mother only tells you and not me what she’s doing.
I’m uncertain inside; maybe you could give me a hint about what the Buddha Mother’s grand plan entails?"
"The Buddha Mother has her reasons for not telling you. This matter is far too significant, and the fewer people who know, the better."
Boba cautiously blocked Zhou Xuan’s inquiry and waved his hand, saying, "Dealing with someone like Longba isn’t easy. I suppose you’re tired too, Junior Brother. Go, go, get some rest early."
"Junior Brother takes his leave."
Looking at Boba, Zhou Xuan even thought of capturing Boba and dragging him into the Secret Realm for a good interrogation.
But this thought was quickly dismissed.
The Mother of Jambudvipa is in the Snow Plain Prefecture, and as the Realm Master of the Seventeen Layers of the Buddha Country, her true strength is unknown.
Moreover, the Mother of Jambudvipa is involved in the secretive plans of Buddha Country, and nothing can afford to deviate.
"Just endure a little longer."
After advising himself, Zhou Xuan returned to his room.
...
In the side room, there were two mute maidservants, one tending the fire for Zhou Xuan and the other lying in bed "warming it."
Upon entering, Zhou Xuan pointed outside, signaling the maidservants, who were warming the bed and tending the fire, to leave.
The two maidservants obediently left the side room.
Zhou Xuan sat on the bed, still warm from the bedclothes.
"This Ning Yu lives quite well, even a Great Monk has a bed specially warmed by someone."
Zhou Xuan removed his clothing, extinguished the lamp, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
While he was hazily asleep, he heard a Buddhist chant resound around him.
Within this chant, apart from the Buddhist Sect’s Great Compassion Mantra, there were also faint enchanting demon whispers.
Zhou Xuan got up and opened the window a crack, only to see that in front of many side rooms, several monks stood looking up at the moon, hands raised high, murmuring chants.
The Buddhist chant that Zhou Xuan heard came from their mouths.
"These demon monks, what scriptures are they chanting in the middle of the night?"
As Zhou Xuan spoke, he perceived that the monks weren’t gazing at the moon, but at an eye in the sky.
The eye was formless and intangible,
though Zhou Xuan couldn’t see it,
he felt strongly that there was a massive eye in the sky,
and he had an intense sensation of being watched.
"How eerie."
Fearing his identity might be exposed, Zhou Xuan wanted to close the window, only to find his hand would not obey.
He felt that the eye was continuously descending toward the earth, as if intending to trouble him.
And those chanting monks, as if summoned, all turned to look at Zhou Xuan together.
"Could it be that after seeing the eye, one must chant scripture? Otherwise, it might sense something is wrong?"
Faced with this urgent situation, Zhou Xuan wasn’t panicked. After summarizing the key points, he decided to chant scripture.
But he wasn’t a disciple of the Buddhist Sect and had neither contact with nor understanding of the Buddhist scripture.
At this critical moment, Zhou Xuan suddenly remembered the "No Hidden Scripture" inscribed upon his Secret Realm.
It was a Buddha’s Spell inscribed by the Ancient Buddha Stele, engraved upon his Secret Realm after the Scattered Dao.
While scanning his Secret Realm, Zhou Xuan recited the No Hidden Scripture, following the scripture’s text.
As soon as he chanted, his body’s stiffness naturally eased, and the monks approaching his room dispersed.
Zhou Xuan quickly shut the window and lay down pretending to sleep, but in truth, his heart spirit had already entered the Secret Realm.
...
In the Secret Realm, aside from Black Water and the City God Temple, there emerged a new expanse of soul soil.
Ning Yu had also been transformed into a tree.
This tree grew from Ning Yu’s head. Alongside Mr. Bai Lu, Little Brain, and three children, the others sat beneath the tree eating fruit.
Zhou Xuan approached the fruit tree and called out to Ning Yu’s fruit tree, "Ning Yu, you Buddha Country Child, are not bad. Your Buddha Power is vigorous, and the fruit produced is much more abundant than your ’Hundred Forms Junior Brother.’"
In the distance, the Hundred Forms Child’s face was crusted with a thick layer of urine salts, resembling a muddy facial mask.
He cursed, "Zhou Xuan... Zhou Xuan... you will die a terrible death."
"Still cursing, aren’t you aware your face’s urine salts cracked from cursing?"
