Suddenly, a voice echoed from the sky: "Yi Hai Wu Fo, good deeds, good deeds…"
"!"
Mingzhi Tian: "……..."
Clad in tattered robes, with an unremarkable appearance, he floated through the air with bare feet, a large string of Buddhist beads around his neck, and his hands clasped in prayer.
It was Master Shikong!
With a raise of his hand, he repelled both Ruyi Jinfei and Jixiang Qianren, two ultimate realm cultivators!
Then, he clasped his hands again and uttered, "Yi Hai Wu Fo, saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Good deeds, good deeds…"
"Where did this bald donkey come from?" Ruyi Jinfei was displeased at being so rudely interrupted.
Master Shikong showed no anger, merely shaking his head slightly. "Yi Hai Wu Fo, good deeds, good deeds… Lay down your butcher's knife, and you can become a Buddha. Benefactor, do not be so attached, lest you harm yourself and others."
Mingzhi Tian had heard these Buddhist teachings no less than ten times, and his ears were starting to itch.
Even Ruyi Jinfei, who yearned for eternal life, could not help but curse, "I'll lay down your grandmother."
Jixiang Qianren unleashed a strike! "Wushang Gui Tian!"
Ruyi Jinfei followed up with! "Chang Ling Jian He!"
"Yi Hai Wu Fo…"
Master Shikong stood as firm as a mountain, then with a slight wave of his hand: "Disperse."
An invisible great Dao tore through the spatial magnetic field and swept outwards!
It struck them directly!
Ruyi Jinfei felt his blood surge, forcing him to cough up a mouthful of blood!
Before they could land, Master Shikong appeared as if by divine intervention, his speed rivaling that of an ancient emperor.
He flashed between them: "Yi Hai Wu Fo… good deeds, good deeds…"
With a stomp of his feet! Landing precisely on their abdomens, he then propelled them downwards like super cannonballs!
"Bang! Bang!……” With two thuds, dust billowed as they were both flattened into the deep pit like pancakes.
Mingzhi Tian was stunned: "Are they… dead?"
"Yi Hai Wu Fo… good deeds, good deeds……"
Master Shikong clasped his hands: "Heaven cherishes life. This old monk did not use his full strength, merely teaching them a lesson. I hope they will soon convert to my Buddha."
Mingzhi Tian nodded. Master Shikong paused and then said, "Unexpectedly, even the esteemed Changsheng Gate, where for three thousand generations one tirelessly pursues the path to immortality, lacks a heart that embraces all and strives for good. Even if they achieve eternal life, if they cannot benefit the new, what is the point of it all?"
Mingzhi Tian asked, "Master, why have you saved me time and time again?"
"Yi Hai Wu Fo……"
Mingzhi Tian: "……..."
He suddenly felt an urge to beat the monk soundly, which explained why Ruyi Jinfei had finally lost his temper and cursed.
Master Shikong seemed to sense something, paused slightly, and said nothing more: "To witness injustice and draw one's sword is the path of my generation, the way of Buddhist merit."
Mingzhi Tian shook his head, indicating he didn't understand.
In any case, whether intentionally or not, Master Shikong had saved him three or four times.
Mingzhi Tian kept it in his heart: "I will remember this, Master. If there comes a day you need me, Mingzhi Tian, I will repay this debt with everything I have."
Master Shikong closed his eyes: "Yi Hai Wu Fo, good deeds, good deeds… You have a connection with the Buddha. But this old monk can only help you this far. The rest of the path you must walk yourself. Yi Hai Wu Fo… May we meet again."
In a flash, he vanished…
Seeing Master Shikong depart, the hundreds of disciples from Changsheng Gate, unhindered, surged forward once more!
Mingzhi Tian instructed Hong Suan Tiandi: "Tiandi! Hold the line, I'll be right back!"
