Chapter 474 [Female Earth] Position Certificate
"Um?"
Inside the Wuxiang Temple of all students.
Sangji suddenly looked up and saw that the crystal-clear ceiling was falling piece by piece, turning into white snow.
Strange, illusory forests stand around the temple, displaying all sorts of mysteries and possessing hundreds of magical treasures and myriad wonders.
Furthermore, guardian deities such as Yaksha King, Vajravarahi, and Indra appeared, causing many monks to blush and prostrate themselves in worship.
"The Eight Great Cold Forest Buddhist Lands!"
"I'm wavering!" He quickly made a hand seal, silently entered a meditative state, and tried to sense that Buddha land.
Unfortunately, no matter how Sangji sensed it, he felt a connection to that place that seemed to be separated by a layer, forever unable to reach the 'real'. Indeed, the Venerable One was right; the Buddha has always refused to let us get close, even the methods of sensing are false…
Sangji sighed inwardly, changed his hand seal, and visualized the "Great Sun Tathagata, the Peaceful One" in his mind, silently chanting, "Please, Venerable One, help me!"
In an instant, it seemed as if an invisible portal opened in the void, and strands of divine light fell down.
Sangji's eyes suddenly turned into hazy yellow gems, and a snow-white monk's robe appeared, with a painted image of "Master of the Sita Forest Pi Tangka" on his chest. A white bone scepter appeared in his hand, and a white bone mask with horns on its head appeared out of thin air, completely covering his face.
It was Fang Qing who went online and topped the account, and also descended upon the [Lady] Metal element.
Although the "Lord of the Mortuary" held back somewhat in his cultivation, the metal element within his own body was perfectly integrated, making it impossible for any errors to occur...
He activated the visualization method of the Temple of No Forms of All Beings once again, and a series of cold forests appeared before him.
Countless icicles stand tall, containing a large number of rotting corpses inside.
Some are lifelike, some are mostly rotten, and some have completely turned into bones.
"I enter the gate of secret practice through the contemplation of impurity!" Fang Qing chanted the mantra, uniting the three secrets into one.
In an instant, a cold wind howled, and large snowflakes mixed with ice shards pelted his monk's robe.
This is no longer visualization or illusion, but a true entry into the "Eight Great Cold Forests of Buddha Land"!
Whoosh!
A cold wind blew, and water droplets froze instantly, further emphasizing the utter silence all around...
Click!Click!
Fang Qing took a few steps forward, and it seemed as if he was crushing a skeleton under his feet, making a crisp sound.
A chill spread, seemingly penetrating his very soul and freezing it completely; the "Eight Great Cold Forests of Buddha Lands," rumored to be the paradise of the "Lord of the Corpse Forest," are divided into eight places: the Northern Secret Karma Cold Forest, the Western Vajra Flame Cold Forest, the Southern Bone Lock Cold Forest, the Northeast Wild Laughter Cold Forest, the Southeast Auspicious Cold Forest, the Southwest Dark Cold Forest, the Northwest Chirping Cold Forest, and the Eastern Tyrannical Cold Forest...
After practicing in eight cold forests, one can attain great accomplishment and forever accompany the "Lord of the Charity Forest"...
In this Buddhist land, countless Buddhists chant scriptures, with Dharma protectors constantly by their side, and even celestial maidens like Tara… and even the disciples and mothers under the command of the 'Lord of the Sita Forest'… Clearly, the poor condition of the only true 'Lord of the Sita Forest' in this Buddhist land has directly led to its silence… The originally wandering Dharma protectors, Indra, Vajravarahi, and Yaksha King, have all vanished?
A guess gradually emerged in Fang Qing's mind, which was actually a good thing for him.
Otherwise, if there were still one messenger, or a guardian deity, remaining conscious, his journey to Skull Mountain in the heart of the Buddhist land would be far more difficult. Whoosh!
His eyes shone with a dim yellow light, and a surge of [Lady] light rushed in, transforming into four alternating divine powers behind his head.
One of them is the "Fear of Death"!
The moment this supernatural power appeared, the chill that had invaded his soul vanished instantly, as if he himself had been accepted by this Buddhist land. Hmm! After all, in terms of status, I am still a legitimate Buddhist disciple!
Unless the "Lord of the Ashtanga" comes to his senses and dismisses me, I will still be a permanent employee.
Sensing that this Buddhist land no longer resisted him, Fang Qing immediately set off.
His steps were not fast, yet it was as if he had shrunk the distance to an inch, possessing the supernatural ability to move at will. With just one step, he stepped out of this dense, cold forest and arrived at a strange place where cold flames burned.
This is the 'Western Vajra Flame Cold Forest', whose ferocious cold flames possess the power of a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator.
If some of the Frost Flame could be extracted and placed in the Qi Refining Path, it would be a trump card for Nascent Soul cultivators.
Fang Qing was protected by a radiant aura, making it impossible for the cold flames to burn or even ignite her. She took another step and arrived at a forest full of white bone chains.
He smiled slightly, letting the countless white bone chains bind him. He activated the "Cleansing of Karmic Bonds" technique, easily breaking free from all the restraints and curses. These eight great cold forests are actually excellent places to cultivate [ladies'] supernatural powers.
If a Purple Mansion True Person of the [Female Earth] path were to go into seclusion here, the chances of mastering supernatural powers would increase significantly.
Fang Qing traveled at a leisurely pace, passing through the Northeast Laughing Cold Forest, the Southeast Auspicious Cold Forest, the Southwest Dark Cold Forest, the Northwest Chirping Cold Forest, and the East Tyrannical Cold Forest.
Having witnessed many gruesome corpses, his heart grew calmer and more undisturbed.
Finally, he arrived at the core of the Buddhist land and saw a giant mountain made entirely of human skulls!
Skull Mountain!
The Lord of the Ashtanga Forest is the true body of a Buddha incarnate, comparable to a Golden Elixir True Monarch!
"It's time to settle the scores from the Lotus Blessed Land of yesteryear."
Fang Qing looked up, and in his pupils, a dim yellow light flickered, like two beams of light piercing through Skull Mountain.
Countless air currents rose and fell all around, flashing alternating shades of dim yellow and grayish white, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Various images of white bones emerge, carrying the meaning of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness.
Even knowing that the "Master of the Sita Forest" was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and was unconscious and unlikely to wake up, Fang Qing had no intention of taking immediate action.
In the realm of Qi cultivation, the gap between major cultivation levels is something that can never be bridged.
It's as if the Purple Mansion Immortal could annihilate countless Foundation Establishment cultivators with a single breath.
Even a dying Golden Core True Monarch could easily crush ten or eight Purple Mansion True Monarchs.
Of course, he is no longer in the Purple Mansion stage, but a Buddha's disciple. He might be able to withstand one move, but he definitely can't withstand a second!
Therefore, it is necessary to plan carefully before taking action.
He stepped forward and onto the territory of Skull Mountain. The countless skeletons on the ground, their dark eyes staring at him, could not stir the slightest ripple in his heart.
As Fang Qing continued climbing the mountain, his flesh began to itch, as if it were about to peel off piece by piece, turning him into a pure skeleton.
The gleam of his eyes, like a hazy yellow gemstone, shone even brighter. The four supernatural powers of "Female Earth" circulated repeatedly, turning into a single point, like a pill, which was contained within his Purple Mansion, governing his entire body. Only then was he not affected by the strange atmosphere outside and turned into a skeleton.
Before he knew it, he had arrived at the top of Skull Mountain.
Looking around, there was no trace of the "King of the Ashtanga Forest".
But an inexplicable sense of danger was constantly intensifying, causing the 'White Bone Heart' within Fang Qing's body to tremble and reveal cracks one after another.
The surrounding void seemed to exert immense pressure, constantly falling on his snow-white monk's robe, causing it to accumulate dust and turn into mud.
Heart broken bones, snow-white clothes stained with dust!
Fang Qing suddenly smiled: "So that's how it is, you're here."
He lightly tapped the bone staff in his hand on the ground, and a ripple spread outwards. In an instant, the entire Skull Mountain began to shake violently.
Then, the Skull Mountain continued to rise, rise higher and higher, and then collapsed horizontally.
Then, the surrounding earth trembled, and one after another 'Skull Mountain' rose from the ground.
The skull mountains stretched endlessly, connecting to a large white island behind them. Upon closer inspection, however, it became clear that the island wasn't an island at all, but rather a skeletal hand, with each skull mountain representing a finger of that hand. The skull mountains Fang Qing had previously climbed were now resting on the fingertips of the 'Lord of the Corpse Forest,' held atop them and placed before him!
Its entire body is milky white, with one face and two arms, three round red eyes, and a crown with five skulls on its head. The ribbons are tied into a fan shape, and the ribbons are surrounded by flowing silk.
At this moment, he held Fang Qing in his right hand, supported the skull filled with blood in his left hand, slung a golden vase over his chest, and stood on a lotus-shaped sun and moon disc, assuming a dancing posture...
It is indeed the true form of the Lord of the Mortuary!
As soon as this Buddha appeared, the entire "Eight Great Cold Forest Buddha Lands" began to rumble, and one after another, skeletons dressed in monks' robes crawled out of the ground, chanting sutras praising the "Lord of the Charity Forest".
The eight great cold forests rotated, and from them emerged fierce and malevolent guardian deities, Yaksha Kings... This was the power of the Golden Core!
The mere presence of that aura caused the entire Buddhist land to begin to revive.
At this moment, Fang Qing only sensed the weakness of the "Lord of the Corpse Forest".
"A final burst of energy before death!" A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
The 'Lord of the Ashtanga Forest' failed to possess me last time and was severely injured by the 'Bead of Dao'.
Originally, it would have remained asleep until its demise... but the demonic forces' attack on the Secret Realm and the shaking of the Buddhist land caused a brief awakening... but after awakening, it would immediately perish.
However, I'm only using Sangji's name now. If Sangji dies, I can continue to possess Wunengsheng and Xu Hei.
If the "Master of the Ashtanga Forest" can make a move once, how could he possibly make a move twice or three times?
With the 'Dao Sheng Pearl' in hand and his true form hidden in the 'Yuan Shi Tian', Fang Qing had the courage to try and fail countless times.
But the Lord of the charnel ground already sensed his impending demise...
He grabbed Fang Qing and shoved his large hand into the skull's mouth.
"They've gone mad...completely forgotten the lesson from last time, only the instinct for survival remains..."
"I carry a trace of golden energy, so I feel that if he were to devour me, it could extend his life by a few more days..."
Fang Qing shook his head, and the six bone beads behind him shone brightly, protecting his entire body.
But then, cracks appeared inch by inch beneath that pitch-black maw.
Not only the bone beads, but also his white monk's robe, bone scepter, bone mask... all turned to dust under the opening and closing of those skull teeth.
Sangji's body was covered in blood, his limbs mangled, as he watched the final snap of the sharp teeth...
But just then, the wind suddenly stopped.
"One move... and it's over..."
Splash!
The true form of the "Lord of the Ashtanga Forest," which originally stood tall and filled the entire Buddhist land, froze instantly.
Then, crack after crack appeared on his body.
The body, formed from countless white bones and skeletons, instantly disintegrated, as if a sand dune castle had suddenly collapsed.
The countless white skeletons, like stars in the Ganges, instantly engulfed every corner of the Buddhist land, turning the original cold forest into a 'desert' paved with white skeletons!
In the desert, a creature that barely retained a human shape rolled over, revealing a pair of dim, jewel-like eyes—it was Fang Qing!
His gaze fell upon a tattered white bone skull crown, falling from mid-air...
That vast, magnificent, yet slightly familiar aura made him murmur aloud, "[Lady's] pass?!"
