The First Demon of the Chan Sect
Chapter 563 - 106: Another Nail
CHAPTER 563: CHAPTER 106: ANOTHER NAIL
On the desolate Sacred Buddha Star, everyone’s faces looked grim.
Li Qingming’s expression was icy as he said, "I prepared for everything, but forgot to set up the Locking Void Array. Damn it, we still let them escape!"
Yin Xi, who had retracted Little Zuozzi, glanced at the blood-stained severed finger on the ground and hesitated before asking, "Qingmingzi, what about that gleaming arm just now?"
Li Qingming nodded and said, "It was those so-called Chasing Daoists. I’m very familiar with their aura, full of evil, yet brimming with pure energy!"
"It’s all my fault for shattering the Domain Gate. Otherwise, I could have extrapolated their approximate spatial coordinates!" Yin Xi said with a grimace, punching his head and filled with self-recrimination.
"Senior need not blame yourself, everything is already predestined! If they want to run, they’ll have to ask if I agree!" Li Qingming sneered coldly.
"Big brother, do you have a way?" Li Qingquan flew over and asked.
"My lord, do you possibly have a way?" Zhan Long paced back and forth anxiously. His hatred for Po Suo was too deep; he couldn’t rest until Po Suo was annihilated. "My lord, you must find a way to track them down!"
The others were also deeply anxious. Po Suo and the Buddha were late Sub-Saint level powerhouses. Unless everyone slaughtered the entire Endless Buddha Realm, the two would eventually rise again.
"Amitabha Buddha, Master Li! Shall this humble monk give it a try? Although Huaxia Buddhism does not possess as many secret techniques as the Taoist sects, we have some knowledge of the Power of Soul. I have already recorded the soul fluctuations of the Buddha and Po Suo. As long as they are within ten billion light years, this monk may sense some peculiarities."
Shakyamuni commenced to meditate on the side, releasing his relic golden core into the Void, invoking the Primordial Energy of the entire Sacred Buddha Star.
The Alaya-Vijnana of Buddhism, a combination of true nature and delusion, was difficult for outsides to comprehend. Shakyamuni, with his true nature relic golden core close to the Great Dao, could glimpse the secrets of a small corner of the world!
Li Qingming and the rest all held their breath in concentration, quietly awaiting Shakyamuni’s awakening.
"Hum!"
A burst of golden Buddha Power suddenly emanated from Shakyamuni, a dazzling radiance centered around him, turning the entire Heavenly Vault golden.
"Boom!"
A quarter of an hour later, Shakyamuni’s body shook violently, and he suddenly opened his eyes. Two beams of golden light shot out from his eyes, startling those present.
"Shakyamuni, how did it go?" Long Xuhu, having absorbed the Power of Life Law of the Sacred Buddha Star and although achieving Sub-Saint rank, his impetuous temper had not changed.
Shakyamuni withdrew the golden light in his eyes and shook his head, saying, "I’m sorry, everyone! Because we are in the very center of the Endless Buddha Realm, and the star’s core is densely packed with Arrays. They have also cut off the mental link through the Void, leaving no trace without a trace."
It seemed, the Chasing Daoists were well-prepared and never intended to confront them head-on.
"No, no! I must find Po Suo and tear him to shreds!" Zhan Long’s delicate Dragon Scales began to emerge visibly on his body.
Anan, eyes filled with hatred, knelt before Li Qingming, saying, "My lord, you must find the Buddha at all costs, to avenge my elder brother!"
"Damn, are we just going to let those two old bastards slip away under our watch?" Long Xuhu hit the ground of the Buddha Master Transformation Hall in fury.
"Hum!"
Rings of golden radiance rippled out from where Long Xuhu struck.
Li Qingming was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, saying, "It seems I might be able to find them after all!"
With that, he walked into the main hall of the Buddha Master Transformation Hall, sat down cross-legged, and his massive Primordial Spirit emerged, directly merging with the Transformation Hall.
"Om!"
The entire Buddha Master Transformation Hall suddenly soared into the air, radiating infinite light. The milky-white light shield that had been destroyed by Xiong Da reappeared.
It seemed as though time had reversed, and beneath the light shield, the Buddha Master and Po Suo reemerged into everyone’s view, still struggling to support the Puppet Beast, their facial expressions identical to before.
Dragon Scale Tiger and the others all wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost, staring intently at the Buddha Master Transformation Hall floating in mid-air.
"How precise the control of time!" Yin Xi’s face was full of admiration.
Shakyamuni also spoke with a hint of respect, "Amitabha Buddha, I am not as skilled as Master Li!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the entire Holy Buddha Star began to shake violently. First, the most peripheral secret places cracked open, followed by the collapse of the sky, the sinking of the earth, with the sun at the horizon already lost, everything was marching towards destruction.
"What’s going on?"
Everyone was horrified and confused. How could a planet that was fine just moments ago suddenly head towards destruction?
"Whoosh!"
Just then, Li Qingming flew out with the Qiankun Tripod hovering above his head.
"How is the Elder (Master, Sir)?" Everyone rushed up, asking.
"Success! That Outer Realm Dao Chaser has clearly not yet reached the Saint Realm; he left many flaws!" Li Qingming formed Seal Formations with his hands, recalling the Buddha Master Transformation Hall, his words tinged with a trace of fortune.
"Sir, this star is about to perish for unknown reasons! We should prepare to quickly traverse the starry space!" Zhan Lan, eager for revenge, wished he could immediately go over and hack Po Suo into mincemeat.
Li Qingming said nothing more but started taking out one Spiritual Treasure after another from his storage space, beginning to set up Arrays comprehensively.
The Void Magic Array, which had already locked in spatial coordinates, was laid out by Li Qingming almost in the span of a breath.
"Om!"
The Domain Gate was open, and everyone dashed through it, heading towards the other side of the gate.
...
Light flickered, and beyond the Domain Gate was a grey-brown haze.
The fog rolled in, and silence seemed to be the eternal protagonist of this world. No sound, no chaos, only the twinkling stars and bands of yellow meteorites.
For cultivators like Li Qingming and his companions, as long as Primordial Energy existed between heaven and earth, death was not an issue for them.
From high above in the cosmic Cangqiong, a gigantic orange-yellow star floated there, enveloped in a faint layer of grey-white gas, appearing immensely grand and dreamlike.
"Humph, this Chasing Daoist does pick his spots! This Gathering and Leaving Sacred Buddha Star is probably no less than 1.5 billion light-years away. No wonder I couldn’t find their soul marks!" Shakyamuni looked at this beautiful planet and spoke with a touch of sentiment.
"The Buddha Master and Po Suo must have already made contact with the Dao Chasers. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have crossed the Void without full preparation!" Yin Xi looked at the unchanging meteorites and said with certainty.
"Found it, this time we absolutely cannot let the Buddha Master and Po Suo escape again!" Zhan Long roared furiously.
"Let’s go, we descend!" Li Qingming nodded, waved his sleeve, and quietly led everyone towards the Ancient Star. (To be continued.
