Chapter 1570 - 578: The Might of the Five Seals
Palm Buddha Country, is the supreme secret method of the Ancient Buddha,
The "Ancient Buddha Mirror Image" formed by the Golden Body Slave, although not a true Ancient Buddha, still possesses the divine skills of the Ancient Buddha.
A vast realm continuously poured and flowed in his palm,
However, when the Buddha Country was in his palm, it was majestic and splendid, but once it fell to the ground, it was not so impressive, even with a sense of desolation.
The Buddha Towers in the Buddha Country seemed eroded by wind and frost for a millennium, dilapidated and broken,
The Buddhist Temples in the Buddha Country were even more like dangerous buildings long in disrepair,
These perilous structures, these broken towers, when closed together, not only do they not exude supreme grandeur, but a desolate and abandoned aura spontaneously permeates,
"Such a forsaken country, how can it entrap Master Zhou?"
The Eternal Life Sect Leader quietly asked the Green Robed Buddha.
The Green Robed Buddha looked at the expanse of wasteland, his expression tense, and his heart extremely anxious.
He belonged to the Buddhist Sect and naturally knew the anecdotes and knowledge of the Buddhist Sect.
"Sect Leader, don’t underestimate this barren land, all the world’s prosperity is nurtured within barren soil..."
"Are you trying to raise the stakes here?" Zhao Wuya glanced at the Green Robed Buddha and said, "Just tell us directly what’s formidable about this barren land."
The Green Robed Buddha, having been rebuked by Zhao Wuya, was not annoyed, he lowered his right palm to the ground, and then his body slowly crouched, his right palm touching the earth,
Colorful flowers sprouted around him,
"This is the ancient Buddha’s great hand seal passed down to me — known as the Demon Suppression Seal."
The Green Robed Buddha raised his head, looking at everyone around, and said: "It’s said that in ancient times, when the Ancient Buddha was enlightened, demons would always invade. The Ancient Buddha reached out to touch the earth, using the earth as proof to drive away the demons. Therefore, touching the ground with the palm is the Demon Suppression Seal."
"The Ancient Buddha has five great hand seals, when the Demon Suppression Seal is performed, the sun and moon shine brightly, and heaven and earth testify, cleansing the world of demons."
He pointed to the giant palm of the Ancient Buddha,
The giant palm, after pouring out the Palm Buddha Country, slowly touched the ground.
And as his palm touched the ground, the image of the Buddha Country transformed,
The Buddha Towers, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, rapidly grew,
The dilapidated temples radiated auspicious golden light,
Inside those temples and towering structures, the sound of reciting scripture echoed,
The so-called Palm Buddha Country is precisely the Ancient Buddha’s Demon Suppression Great Hand Seal.
The scripture sounds in the Buddha Country chanted, deep and strong, the Buddhist sound, like a tide, poured down like a waterfall from the towers and temples,
Due to the increasingly powerful Buddhist sound, a deep and resonant force, like an inexhaustible ocean’s eye, formed waterfalls of Buddhist sound that kept pouring down,
The Buddhist sound, like hanging cloth, ceaselessly flowed,
Zhou Xuan stood within the vastness of the Buddha Country, he felt as if those cascading waterfalls of Buddhist sound had come alive,
What had been vertically flowing waterfalls suddenly moved horizontally, ribbons broad and green weaved continuously in the air,
Finally,
The heavenly dome of the Palm Buddha Country was woven into a celestial net by the Buddhist sound waterfalls.
This net, firstly, was to lock Zhou Xuan, and secondly, was for the next fierce attack,
Of course, Zhou Xuan would not sit and wait for death, he controlled his hundred-zhang body, wanting to break through those Buddha Sound Cages,
But just as his body touched the Buddhist sound, he saw an illusion—
—He seemed to see a sky full of Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Venerables.
These disciples of the Buddhist Sect, some with three heads and six arms, others wielding magic artifacts, all glaring at Zhou Xuan, treating him as the greatest demon under heaven and earth.
"The World Honored One commands us to suppress demons and monsters."
"Demon, faced with the magnificent Buddhist gate, do you not submit and bind, but dare to crash with brute force?"
"Om Mani Padme Hum."
As soon as the six-word mantra of the Buddhist Sect sounded, the sky full of Bodhisattvas, Arhats, all plunged their right hands into their chests; this scene did not seem like a Buddhist Sect suppressing demons, but like certain deep mountain barbarian tribe’s, licentious shrine’s heretical rituals,
However, compared to those licentious shrines, the blood of these Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Venerables was pure gold, making it visually less bloodthirsty and violent.
Seeing this, these Bodhisattvas, Arhats, all extracted their golden hearts and threw them towards Zhou Xuan.
The golden hearts transformed into golden lotuses, casting a golden net below to entrap Zhou Xuan’s body,
As one net dropped, ten thousand followed,
Countless lotuses, like countless giant nets, layer upon layer, continuously overlapped, binding Zhou Xuan tightly, rendering him immobile.
Meanwhile, the chanting sounds within the Buddha Towers, Buddhist Temples inside the Buddha Country grew even more profound,
In one Buddha Country, perhaps tens of thousands of monks chanted the Buddhist scriptures, yet the chanting, layered together, resembled a single person’s recitation.
"Om Mani Padme Hum."
"Om Mani Padme Hum."
The six-word mantra, amassed in tens of thousands of voices, continuously bound Zhou Xuan, they were more like whips of steel, relentless in their striking and whipping of Zhou Xuan,
However, this striking and whipping was nearly soundless, the fierce whips of true words, fiercely lashed on, yet felt like whipping a mass of cotton,
But Zhou Xuan knew how painful these whips truly were — these true word whips struck the soul,
Zhou Xuan’s soul was strong enough, yet tens of thousands of whips falling at once caused his divine soul to sway.
"Snap!"
With a whip sound, Zhou Xuan’s divine soul became unstable, and within his hundred-zhang body, numerous small souls emerged,
