Li Chang'an ignored it, glancing at the brightly lit pagoda. The doors were tightly closed, and he couldn't see what was inside.
But he knew that there were sixty-eight Zen masters inside the tower who had formed a Zen array to suppress the severed limbs of the deity by drawing on the fortune of the Ten Thousand Mountains in Southern Xinjiang.
Buddhist meditation is the foundation of the entire system. Buddhism teaches sudden enlightenment, and to achieve sudden enlightenment, one must meditate and enter a state of deep concentration.
This demonstrates the importance of Zen practice. Masters with profound Zen skills can sit for years, decades, or even sixty years.
They neither eat nor drink, and are isolated from the outside world.
The sixty-eight Zen masters inside the tower are currently in this state, neither eating nor drinking, like statues. They are completely unaware of any movement from the outside world.
According to Fu Xiang, every sixty years, a new batch of Zen masters would be replaced, taking turns to sit in meditation and form a meditation array.
In addition, Li Chang'an also sensed the powerful array force protecting the Buddhist pagoda that sealed the divine treasure.
Li Chang'an scoffed and said in a mocking tone, "None of the Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Aranya can tell you who I am?"
As he spoke, Li Chang'an gently raised his sword finger, and a surging, powerful force pressed down on Asuluo like a tidal wave.
Asura activated his Vajra Invincible Divine Skill, his body radiating golden light. Li Chang'an's finger force could not penetrate it, but the enormous impact pushed Asura back dozens of feet.
"A noble spirit... You are a Confucian scholar from the Central Plains!"
Asura had dealt with the Confucian scholars of the Central Plains and knew their methods.
Before he finished speaking, Asura's eyes suddenly shot out golden light, and a deafening sonic boom came from mid-air.
He vanished from the tower, swooping down from dozens of feet away like an eagle hunting a rabbit.
Li Chang'an's premonition of danger immediately alerted him, but he did not dodge; instead, he unleashed three sword energies.
Sword energy burst forth, its golden glow illuminating half the night sky.
"Put down your butcher's knife!" Asura invoked the Buddhist precepts.
Under the pressure of the second-grade Arhat fruit level, the sword energy actually showed a tendency to be weakened.
"Buddhist precepts are ineffective!" Li Chang'an said casually, and the weakening effect of the sword energy instantly disappeared.
Asura continued to attack with his sword energy, but Li Chang'an's sword energy grew stronger and stronger.
Despite releasing his golden form, Asura still felt as if his face was being ripped apart, and his mind trembled.
The closer they got to Li Chang'an, the stronger the sword energy became.
Is this person skilled in both Confucianism and martial arts?
Just then, a golden pagoda phantom appeared in the sky and pressed down heavily.
Asura, who was trying to approach Li Chang'an, was easily pushed into the tower!
Tower of the Universe!
This is a method from the Supreme Elixir Classic for condensing the primordial spirit into a magical artifact.
Asura was imprisoned within the Tower of the Universe, and could only sit cross-legged inside, silently reciting the Buddhist Heart Sutra in an attempt to resist the attack on his primordial spirit.
At this moment, Asura was already terrified.
The newcomer possesses Confucian supernatural powers, martial arts sword intent, and Taoist primordial spirit cultivation!
The three cultivations of Confucianism, martial arts, and Taoism!
At that moment, a light suddenly shone in Asuro's heart!
He had just emerged from seclusion when he contacted Master Jinlian.
Because Asuluo is the number eight of the Heaven and Earth Society, and is Jinlian's secret agent planted in Buddhism, and has a blood feud with Buddhism.
Master Jinlian also told him that the main reason why members of the Heaven and Earth Society are now afraid of accidentally injuring someone is because of this.
Therefore, after seeing Li Chang'an's methods, Asuluo didn't need to think too much to guess the identity of the person in front of him.
Li Chang'an, the Great Fengtian King, cultivates Confucianism, martial arts, and Taoism!
He was also a member of the Heaven and Earth Society.
Asura knew that Li Chang'an was at the peak of the second rank, and he himself was also at the peak of the second rank, and he also had the bloodline power of the Asura clan.
Therefore, being crushed by the Bell of the Universe only fueled Asura's competitive spirit.
In any case, the two will eventually reconcile; this fight is just a show for Buddhism.
Asura, also a prodigy, wanted to compete with Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an, on the other hand, naturally knew that Asuluo was the number eight of the Heaven and Earth Society, which is why he demonstrated the methods of the Three Gates system.
Asura felt the pressure mounting, he realized that Li Chang'an's strength was truly unfathomable!
Under the pressure of the Bell of the Universe, the fire ring behind Asura's head went out, and a majestic golden halo took its place.
His demeanor changed drastically, becoming domineering, sharp, and murderous, like a peerless divine weapon unsheathed.
His robes were burned, and the skin of this young Asura King was almost completely burned away.
It revealed tender, reddish flesh that had melted like wax.
The most shocking thing was his head; the flesh was burned away, revealing the charred skull.
His facial features were twisted together like a molten wax figure.
Only two charred holes remained in the eye sockets; the eyeballs were gone.
Li Chang'an's attack directly shattered Asura's golden body and severely damaged his internal organs.
"Amitabha!" Asura murmured, and his aura changed drastically once again.
His skin regenerated rapidly, and his skull was first covered by tender red flesh, and then wrapped in a layer of dark skin.
Within a few breaths, Asuro's injuries were fully healed, and his appearance also changed drastically.
His entire body was as black as ink, like a demon from the abyss.
"It's been so long since I've unleashed my bloodline power that I've almost forgotten I'm the strongest warrior of the Asura race."
The power of bloodline—this is the power of the Asura race's bloodline.
Asura was nine feet tall and had dark skin.
With his bulging muscles tattooed up and his prominent brow bones adding to his ugly appearance, Asura at this moment resembled a war god emerging from hell.
Beneath his prominent brow bone, his sharp eyes gleamed with a scarlet light.
Li Chang'an saw bloodlust, brutality, and fighting spirit in those eyes.
The Asura race are born warriors.
boom!
The Bell of the Universe dissipated into the night sky, and Asura, having activated his Asura bloodline, stood up once more.
He stood on the void, his dark skin radiating a scarlet glow.
"Commendable courage," Li Chang'an said calmly.
Then, the void around Asura trembled, and a huge golden hand slammed out from the void!
Ten Forms of the Tathagata Palm!
After this palm strike was delivered, the trees and rocks on the ground shattered instantly, forming a crater over a hundred feet wide!
Asura took a step back, raised his hands into palms, and supported the giant palm that was more than ten feet tall!
In the night sky, beneath a golden outstretched hand, a black figure struggles to hold on.
On his dark, shiny legs, the muscles were taut and bulging, and blood was gushing out!
Not far away, Sun Xuanji and others were observing the situation.
"Li Lang... is so strong..." Ye Ji, who had been severely injured by Asura, couldn't help but have her beautiful eyes misty.
"Amazing! Amazing! Amazing..." The great hero Miao Youfang was completely stunned.
For a young man aspiring to become a great hero, this extraordinary battle is simply amazing and inspiring.
“Extraordinary! I’ll be soon too…” Xu Qi’an glanced at Miao Youfang and said, seemingly casually.
As agreed, Li Chang'an was to deal with Asura and take the opportunity to disrupt the Buddhist formation.
“Senior Brother Sun, your heart tells me: the Heavenly King’s cultivation has improved; he can now easily suppress a peak second-grade cultivator without using a sword formation…”
Sun Xuanji gave the Ape Protector a satisfied look, his gaze warm and gentle.
This kid is teachable; this monkey is quite good.
When I leave, I'll ask Miss Ye Ji for the monkey. That should be fine, right?
“Brother Sun’s heart tells me: This monkey is not bad. When he left…” Protector Ape looked at Sun Xuanji, his eyes revealing undisguised fear.
This person actually wants to take me away!
He left the mountains where he had lived for many years...
Thinking of this, the Ape Protector fell into deep thought.
"Speak..." Senior Brother Sun wanted to say, "Go on, let's find out what Ye Ji has to say."
However, the Ape Protector remained silent and never looked at Sun Xuanji again.
