#452 - The Secret of Old Host Kong Xian
At this moment, Abbot Wuming of Dizang Temple had a sacrificial altar array emblazoned on his chest, similar in principle to the finger bone altar, and not something an ordinary person could control.
Li Chengfeng had witnessed the terrifying methods of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva performed by the monk Jingxin and deeply understood the essence of this technique. Even without bone implantation, he could perform it, but it still required multifaceted cooperation, such as restrictive formations.
If Li Chengfeng could integrate the unity of Buddha and demon into his Myriad Laws Return to One, he could unleash such powerful methods.
The array on Abbot Wuming's chest suddenly erupted with unprecedented light, while the array on Li Chengfeng's body covered every inch of his skin.
In comparison, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's array was limited to the chest, yet it released a special suction force at this moment.
The demonic monk Wumo instantly transformed into a wisp of green smoke and was sucked into the array, merging with Li Chengfeng's unity of Buddha and demon within the array.
Whenever the demonic monk Wumo's demonic nature became uncontrollable, Abbot Wuming's Buddhahood would infect and guide it.
Subsequently, the Jingxin Mantra took effect, and the two could use the power of the array to attack and defend in battle, reaching a new realm beyond the half-step God Transformation.
As the two continued to merge and comprehend, it was believed that in the near future, they would have a chance to touch the true God Transformation realm. This was undoubtedly a great opportunity and fortune for them.
At this moment, Abbot Wuming of Dizang Temple sat upright, his face unusually excited.
The pattern on his left chest was a miniature of his junior brother, the demonic monk Wumo's residence. They could cultivate without hindrance, improve individually, and learn from each other during battle.
After this power was fused, both their techniques and mental cultivation methods were far superior to what they had been in the past, becoming more powerful and fluid.
Only then did he deeply understand Li Chengfeng's extraordinary talent. He put his palms together and exclaimed, "Brother, you are truly thoughtful. I cannot repay your kindness to Dizang Temple.
I will definitely notify the Treasure Pavilion to withdraw the reward for you."
Li Chengfeng smiled and said, "There's no need for that. It might bring trouble to Dizang Temple.
I have offended many forces, and there are not a few who want me dead.
Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Let the reward be. There are few in this world who can capture me."
He was full of confidence, "Although I dare not say anything else, I am confident that no one can match me in terms of escape."
Abbot Wuming of Dizang Temple smiled upon hearing this, "Since that's the case, I won't say more. I only wish to silently support you, brother. If there is a need, Dizang Temple will definitely help with all its strength."
The demonic monk Wumo's voice came from the totem, saying firmly, "Brother, rest assured, the two of us will definitely be your strong support.
You are on good terms with Xiaojingxin and helped me escape from the sea of suffering. My gratitude is beyond words."
Li Chengfeng laughed, "Next, it's time to solve the old abbot's problem.
Let's go and investigate first, and be careful of the demon clan's tricks."
Abbot Wuming of Dizang Temple had no objection to Li Chengfeng's actions, but instead hoped that he could help the old abbot out of trouble.
Even if Li Chengfeng didn't take the initiative, they would be willing to help with all their strength.
Both sides had their needs. In the process of Li Chengfeng drawing the array, his understanding of the Buddha and demon path also greatly improved. After observing the old abbot, he might also have new insights and breakthroughs.
Abbot Wuming of Dizang Temple was not a procrastinator. Knowing that time was tight, he immediately took out the abbot's token, cast a spell, and a ray of Buddha light instantly enveloped the two of them, and then disappeared without a trace.
When they opened their eyes again, the two were already in a secret room. This secret room was in a hidden location and could only be reached through teleportation, presumably located deep underground.
Li Chengfeng could feel the terrifying pressure around him. If it weren't for the protection of the indoor formation, he would have been in danger. Fortunately, he possessed the lychee inheritance and had transformed into a Void Fire War Dragon, so this kind of pressure was nothing to him.
Abbot Wuming of Dizang Temple saw Li Chengfeng dealing with it easily and secretly praised his strength, which was unparalleled in the Bronze Mirror Realm.
The space in the secret room was limited, only about a hundred zhang in size. An old monk, Kongxian, was sitting on a futon in the center, his body surging with demonic energy and filled with poisonous mist, yet also bathed in Buddha light, compassionate and kind. The two intertwined, forming an incredible scene.
The old abbot Kongxian looked at Li Chengfeng and chanted a Buddha's name softly, "Amitabha, benefactor, you have come from afar. This old monk is very grateful.
In my current state, Buddha and demon are intertwined, and I am in great pain. I suffer the torment of ten thousand demons devouring my heart every day, and I can only use Buddha light to comfort myself a little.
Now, the demonic nature in my body is growing stronger day by day, and I am afraid of losing control. This old monk wants to make a desperate gamble, using the power of the Myriad Poison Demon Heart to try to fuse the two. Although the success rate is extremely low, only one percent, I have no other choice but to seek liberation from this sea of suffering."
Abbot Wuming of Dizang Temple heard this, his eyes filled with tears. His deep feelings for the old abbot were beyond words.
He lost his parents at a young age, and it was the old abbot who took him in and taught him the Dharma.
Seeing the old abbot suffering for thousands of years, his heart was torn, but he was helpless.
At this moment, he placed all his hopes on Li Chengfeng, hoping that he could find a way to save him.
Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "I understand the master's suffering.
Who can be like the master, enduring thousands of years of pain and still persevering to this day? I ask the world, how many people can do that?
I deeply admire the master's noble Buddhahood.
I think, perhaps I can help the master escape from suffering, but this naturally requires the master's cooperation."
The old abbot Kongxian's face was flushed, while the other side revealed an evil color. Such a strange scene would surely shock ordinary people, but Li Chengfeng remained calm. He had seen too many bizarre things.
The old abbot Kongxian confided to Li Chengfeng and smiled, "If you have a way, just say it.
I am willing to try even the Myriad Poison Demon Heart. What is there to fear even if I am crushed to pieces?
If this continues, I am afraid I will lose control. At that time, the world will be poisoned by me.
Rather than that, I would rather choose to end my life so as not to harm all living beings."
Li Chengfeng was deeply moved after hearing this and praised, "This is the true living Bodhisattva.
Demons like the Nine Profound Old Ancestor, who harm the world, should be eliminated."
He no longer hesitated and continued to ask, "But master, isn't the imbalance of Buddha and demon caused by the excessive demonic nature? Why do you still want to increase the demonic nature? I hope the master can explain my doubts so that I can understand."
The old monk Kongxian sighed helplessly and explained, "That's how things are in the world. My wisdom roots are limited, and reaching my current state is already the limit.
The Buddhahood cannot be increased any further. Every day, I rely on the chanting of the disciples and the relics of great powers to maintain my life.
Dizang Temple is already overwhelmed. My choice of the demonic path is a last resort, but the demonic path seems to be endless.
I want to make a desperate gamble, using the demonic path to suppress the Buddha path, perhaps like my second disciple, I can become a demonic monk and contribute my remaining strength to Dizang Temple.
However, this method is extremely risky and prone to losing control. If I really lose control, I will go to the demon clan and self-destruct to avoid harming the world."
Li Chengfeng put his palms together to the old abbot and chanted softly, "Amitabha.
Senior's noble character is admirable. This is the method I want to use, not to increase the demonic nature, but to eliminate the demonic path, remove the poison from your body, and seek a balance between Buddha and demon.
After that, I will use my formation to combine the Buddha and demon energies into one. Although it cannot make you more powerful, it can restore normal cultivation and life. This is the limit of my ability."
Li Chengfeng's words, brief but like a thunderclap, made the old abbot Kongxian tremble with excitement, and the demonic energy almost lost control.
He asked in a trembling voice, "Can you really do it? But this poison, what can carry it?
If you are not careful, Hell Island may be plunged into misery. If I release it in the demon clan, I am afraid that I will not return. There are many demon clan experts and many traps."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "Old abbot, you are thoughtful and cautious.
There is no need to go far. This junior has his own way. You only need to cooperate, senior, and you will definitely be able to balance the poison and Buddha power in your body.
After that, I will use secret techniques to draw formation totems on your body. At that time, your strength will naturally be neutralized."
He added, "If senior does not believe me, you can look at Abbot Wuming's formation, which has already initially achieved the unity of Buddha and demon. This is what I am capable of."
