Chapter 243 Mirror within a Mirror
Translator: 549690339
Liaowang’s view in front of his eyes gradually shattered, the scenes of reality slowly became clear, and as the flood of memories returned, he finally remembered who he was.
“Cough cough!”
Suddenly sitting up from the ground, gasping deeply, the recent illusion had been too real; he had completely lost himself in it. If it weren’t for that young master’s hint in the end, he might have truly fallen.
At this moment, he was inside the Thousand Buddha Temple, captured alongside Su Mei’er.
“Monk, you think of saving the common people, but have you ever thought of me?”
Su Mei’er asked with tightly pursed lips.
“This matter originated with this humble monk and is unrelated to the benefactor. Having passed the trial, may I prove that there are indeed no evil thoughts in my heart?”
Liaowang spoke slowly, looking at the cultivators before him.
“Heh heh, Demon Monk, you probably do not understand. Having illicit relations with a Demonic Woman from the Demon Sect is a crime that we must rectify. Today we have come here to put you to death, and it’s not just you who will die; we will also take over your lover!”
The faces of the righteous cultivators below contorted with savagery, and Hongguoguo’s gaze wandered brazenly over Su Mei’er, the intent to violate blatantly obvious.
Liaowang’s expression changed; these people were not abiding by the rules and were only looking for a pretext to suppress him. Now that pretext had been broken by him, but it still could not dissolve the deadly predicament.
“Amitabha, benefactors, you must not continue to sin. Committing such deeds in the presence of the Buddhist Sect, for the rest of your lives, you will find no peace.”
An overwhelming aura burst forth from within Liaowang, his eyes shot brilliant rays of light, sweeping across the crowd.
“Buddhist Palm Seal!”
With a flash of light, a golden palm slammed down, creating a path through the crowd forcibly.
“Benefactor, you should go.”
“This humble monk must prove his innocence and not let the Buddhist Sect be tainted with an undue scandal for my sake!”
Liaowang said.
Su Mei’er cast a deep look at Liaowang. “Monk, I will save you.”
After speaking, her figure flickered, and with a few flashes, Su Mei’er disappeared from the sight of everyone present.
“The Demonic Woman has escaped!”
“Quick, chase her down!”
“Damn it, this monk has gone mad. He deserves death!”
The righteous cultivators were frustrated and infuriated; the easy catch had flown away. Such a naturally enchanting beauty must not be allowed to escape; they hadn’t had their enjoyment yet!
They tried to rise and chase but were blocked by several displays of Great Divine Power. Liaowang did his utmost, transforming his entire cultivation level into the Golden Bell Shield, trapping the group of righteous cultivators tightly in the middle.
“Demon Monk, do you wish to add to your crimes?”
The righteous cultivators screamed furiously!
“Amitabha, this humble monk only wishes that you all cease your evil acts. The sea of suffering is boundless; turn back, and there’s the shore.”
“This monk’s Golden Bell Shield won’t last long. Break through it!”
The righteous cultivators didn’t want to hear Liaowang’s words. All they could think about was the escaping Su Mei’er. They came here for the sole purpose of enjoying this woman, but now, the monk had let her escape, and they were enraged to the extreme.
For a moment, the field was ablaze with the light of blades and swords, and Sword Qi crisscrossed, shattering the golden bell to pieces.
…
Outside the Thousand Buddha Temple, the spectators watching the scene in the void had a hint of a smile on their faces.
Song Zhong and Monk Yuanjue exchanged a smile, an understanding between them. Liaowang had just overcome a difficult challenge, passing through one layer of the Illusionary Realm, but Song Zhong had conveniently created yet another layer within the Illusionary Realm. At this moment, Liaowang could no longer distinguish whether he was in reality or still within an Illusionary Realm.
“This time, the Demon Monk will definitely not get out of the Illusionary Realm!”
“Indeed, we originally thought he was trapped in his obsessions, but unexpectedly, at the last moment, some scion enlightened him. However, this time, he won’t be so lucky!”
“After all, the Illusionary Realm created by Elder Song this time is too realistic; this monk probably still thinks he’s woken up and returned to reality!”
“Elder Song truly deserves his reputation as a great power of the Cangtian Sect. His control over the human heart in this Illusionary Realm is simply awe-inspiring—too strong!”
“Of course! He is an esteemed elder of our righteous path. This time, the Demon Monk is doomed!”
The cultivators laughed heartily, the technique of creating a changing Illusionary Realm was too clever.
Ling Jue sneered non-stop. This monk had something going for him, but in front of the Golden Light Mirror, there was no chance of passing through. No matter how talented or how exquisite his Buddhist Law, he would still be cleanly eradicated, wouldn’t he?
From a distance, Li Xiaobai watched the monk and slightly shook his head, obviously, the other party was blinded by jealousy.
Until now, the other party hadn’t discovered that the Space Ring on his finger was entirely empty.
“Elder Brother, we’ve swept through once already; it won’t be easy to deal with those small fry next.”
Li Xiaobai said.
“The same strategy, just be more careful. These people are overly confident and have not paid any attention to the surrounding environment.”
Liu Jinshui said, his figure flickered, and he disappeared into the crowd once more.
Li Xiaobai’s eyes twinkled, his body turned, and he too disappeared into the sea of people.
At the same time, within the Thousand Buddha Kingdom in the Western Desert, several Buddhas were paying attention to the scene in front of the Thousand Buddha Temple.
“Liaowang has Buddha-nature in his heart. Even when he’s in the Illusionary Realm, he can manifest his Buddha-nature and awaken himself. This operation is flying high with style.”
“Indeed, this old monk has not been mistaken. Liaowang has Buddha-nature, and he did well this operation, he could become a Buddha on the spot!”
“But that mirror within a mirror, that must be the handiwork of Ancestor Master Xuan Bei, right?”
“Indeed, the master gave secret guidance through a message, helping the Cangtian Sect construct the Illusionary Realm to temper Liaowang. It’s just hilarious that Song Zhong always believed that the master and they were on the same side.”
“Haven’t they thought about it? Since when is it the turn of outsiders to discipline the disciples of the Buddhist Sect?”
Several old Buddhas conversed in the grand hall. They were the venerable monks of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom, the core strength of the Western Desert. They had not directly intervened in the matter of the Demon Monk Liaowang, leaving it for the current King of the Buddha Country to decide on his own.
However, it seems that this ruler of the Buddha Country has deviated from the path, lost his Buddha-nature, and had his heart filled with desires, failing to discern right from wrong, directly accepting the unreasonable demands of these depraved scholars.
The benefits he received for doing so were probably enormous.
“Several old friends are on their way here, it seems they are coming for Su Mei’er. How do the brothers plan to respond?”
“Once this matter is concluded, how about performing a great cleansing of the Western Desert?”
“Good!”
…
Outside the Thousand Buddha Temple, in the void, Liaowang was enduring his second cycle of reincarnation. Only this time, he did not believe he was in the Illusionary Realm but in reality.
Su Mei’er was innocent. It was only because these people harbored evil thoughts and forcefully labeled her a witch of the Demon Path.
But from his perspective, although she was from the Demon Sect, she had never committed any acts that defied heaven and harmed reason. After sending Su Mei’er away, Liaowang was free of worries.
His power could only be considered above average. His Golden Bell Shield was broken, and as numerous cultivators from the righteous path swarmed him, they instantly suppressed Liaowang.
“A disgrace to the Buddhist Sect, he actually dared to release a witch of the Demon Path openly!”
“He must be executed severely to show the world the consequences of colluding with the people of the Demon Path!”
“Exactly, he should be punished on the spot!”
