Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

This underground Buddhist kingdom was completely different from what everyone had seen before.

However, the general layout has not changed.

After passing through the group of Buddhist niches, the same enormous Buddha statue still stands in a square.

However, the Buddha statues of today no longer have that dazzling golden body; instead, they are pitch black, which is somewhat chilling.

The three faces on the head are, except for the wrathful face on the left and the suffering face on the right.

The face in front is completely blank.

When everyone looked up, they could see Wusheng's tiny figure hanging on that blank face.

At this moment, his eyes were closed and his hands and feet hung down naturally, as if he had completely fallen into a coma.

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spine.

"Esteemed benefactors, and Huiming, we meet again."

"This humble monk misses you dearly..."

A hoarse voice that sounded somewhat unpleasant echoed from inside the Buddha statue.

As the players and the monk Huiming remained vigilant, they noticed a hole slowly emerging from the Black Buddha's chest.

A familiar yet unbelievable figure emerged from among them.

"Black Eye Obsession!?"

"How is this possible! Weren't we already eliminating him?"

"That's right, his remains are still in the secret chamber by the stone gate, how could they possibly be here again!?"

Indeed, what everyone saw at this moment was none other than the black-eyed obsession that had once blocked the stone gate of the mandala!
A strong sense of bewilderment also appeared in the eyes of the monk Huiming.

He could sense that the other person was indeed his own ego.

The only difference is that I can no longer share memories and perspectives with this ego as I used to.

Whenever they try to sense each other, it seems as if an invisible fog separates them, making their connection distant.

If the black-eyed obsession within the secret chamber of the stone gate was like another personality of one's own.

Now, this black-eyed obsession is more like its twin brother.

Their relationship wasn't as close anymore.

Or perhaps... the Black Eye Obsession has become more independent?

The monk Huiming couldn't understand it.

If the other person is truly your own ego, how could you not notice when they are reborn?
"Huiming, you felt it, didn't you?"

It seemed that he had noticed that Monk Huiming was sensing and wondering when he had appeared.

The dark-eyed obsession revealed a wicked and unrestrained smile as it spoke:

"I am no longer the same as before!"

“From this day forward, I am no longer your other side, nor am I Huiming.”

"My Buddhist name is—Du Nie!"

After saying that, a large number of black threads emerged from the black Buddha and wrapped around the body of this obsessive person.

It was sculpted into a smaller, five-meter-tall black Buddha at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Little Black Buddha leaped high and grabbed the unconscious Wusheng in his hand, as if he were a toy that he could manipulate at will.

The Buddhist contract that had disappeared from Kong Bei's body reappeared in his other hand.

The voice of Du Nie, the one with the dark eyes and obsession... no, it should be Du Nie's frenzied voice.

"Now you have two choices—"

"Either sign the Buddhist contract, or I'll let this brat get out of Cibei Temple."

"Either resist to the end, or I'll strangle him right now, bury you here too, and then go up and take over the entire Compassion Temple!"

These words not only stunned the monk Huiming.

This left players completely baffled.

Ruoshui frowned and said, "If you kill the Venerable Huiming, you will die too, right? This threat is full of loopholes."

Yes, it still comes down to the most fundamental question: if there is no true self, where does the attachment to self come from?

No matter what this guy calls himself, he can't change his true nature.

Just as a shadow only appears when there are people around, how can there be such absurd thing as a shadow appearing on the ground alone and moving freely?

Upon hearing Ruoshui's voice, the little black Buddha grinned, revealing a ferocious expression, and said:

"I am no longer attached to that weak and powerless body! I truly exist in this world!"

"This is an opportunity bestowed by Buddha; it is what I deserve!"

“I have nothing to hide. I signed the Buddhist contract so that Huiming would willingly be devoured by me, so that I could become more perfect and become the second Buddha among all sentient beings.”

"But if he insists on going his own way, I don't mind destroying all of this. At worst, I'll serve at the feet of all beings in a crippled state, and then spend a hundred or a thousand years to rebuild his golden body!"

"He can't leave today!"

These words made everyone vaguely realize that the other person was different from before.

Although the obsession with black eyes was also filled with evil thoughts, it was, to some extent, a devotion to Buddhism, and he would never allow himself to grovel at the feet of others.

He's become even more extreme now.

That mentality of preferring to destroy what one cannot have made people somewhat uneasy.

They instinctively looked at the monk Huiming.

Ultimately, how to deal with this guy is probably up to him to decide.

Seeing this, Monk Huiming sighed deeply, but his gaze became even more resolute as he said:

"Du Nie..."

"Being able to take such a Dharma name proves that you have completely decided to follow the old path of Du Ye and become the second him."

“This humble monk will not sign the Buddhist contract, because even if Wusheng is saved by exchanging one life for another, he will never feel joy again for the rest of his life. He may even return to Cibei Temple to avenge this humble monk in the near future. This humble monk cannot let the seeds of hatred take root in his heart.”

"But this humble monk will not allow you to act recklessly, after all, your existence is always the sin of this humble monk."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint golden light suddenly enveloped the monk Huiming.

He casually reached out and gently grasped, conjuring a vibrant green leaf out of thin air.

The moment the leaf was thrown towards the little black Buddha, it began to magnify infinitely in his eyes.

From a size smaller than the palm of your hand, it has grown to be larger than this underground Buddhist kingdom in the blink of an eye, larger than the deep mountains where the Compassion Temple is located, and even larger than the entire world when you are close at hand.

The little black Buddha, several meters tall, would appear imposing and majestic to ordinary people, yet it seemed as insignificant as a grain of sand in front of this leaf.

He felt as if he were enveloped by the veins of the leaves, completely immersed in that boundless world of leaves.

One flower one world, one leaf one bodhi.

This was the only thought in Little Black Buddha's mind at that moment.

But to others, the leaf drifted toward the other at a leisurely pace, and the moment they made contact, the little black Buddha vanished from its spot.

It was as if his towering Buddha statue was trapped by a tiny leaf.

Wusheng was unaffected and landed directly.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, the monk Huiming appeared below and raised his hand to catch him.

However, instead of the small figure, a black vajra flew out from the leaves and slammed heavily into the hands of the monk Huiming.

A slight look of surprise flashed in Monk Huiming's eyes.

He then dodged in time, avoiding being struck by the eerie black vajra. Wusheng, however, inevitably fell to the ground.

He didn't make any sound of pain, and his eyes remained closed, indicating that he was not simply unconscious.

Du Nie disappeared for only a moment before reappearing!
He said viciously, "Huiming, don't you hate your own bloodline? Yet you're still using that power! Hypocrite!"

The strange leaves we just saw were clearly a special effect created by the monk Huiming using the power of the golden cicada's vow.

Having accepted all his identities, and now arriving in this underground Buddhist kingdom that gathers the wishes of all the monks and pilgrims of Cibei Temple, Abbot Huiming feels that his power has become stronger than ever before.

It's as if a single thought can make any idea come true.

However, he did not lose himself in this powerful will, but instead combined his knowledge of Buddhism to simply seal away the obstacles to salvation.

Unexpectedly, this guy was able to crack it instantly.

Monk Huiming landed back in his original spot, a flash of enlightenment appearing in his eyes as he said:

“This humble monk knows where you came from.”

"You are not the true ego in this humble monk's heart!"

This left the players somewhat confused.

If the other person isn't the embodiment of obsession, then what is?
Seeing the little black Buddha remain silent, Monk Huiming glanced at the immovable black Buddha statue behind him.

He said calmly, "You are simply believing in my heart that this humble monk's ego should be like this."

“You were never truly born from my heart; you are merely a counterfeit.”

At this point, he looked at the Buddhist contract in the other person's hand.

He shook his head and said, "Your so-called imperfection is not just about cultivating for longer periods of time, is it?"

"If this humble monk doesn't sign the Buddhist contract, will you even be unable to leave this underground Buddhist kingdom?"

"I'm afraid only by having this humble monk sign a Buddhist covenant can you truly transform yourself into someone who is attached to self and completely replace this humble monk."

Humans are a very strange species.

Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for a person to have a comprehensive understanding of themselves.

Because subconsciously, people always want to deny some of their own flaws or unpleasant thoughts.

It's like recalling some embarrassing past events while you're trying to sleep at night, even if no one remembers it anymore, even if no one else knows what you're thinking right now while you're lying in bed.

Normal people will still feel embarrassed or ashamed, and will desperately try to forget their past dark history and not want to acknowledge its existence.

Isn't this also a form of escapism?
But as someone who has been troubled by ego for many years.

The monk Huiming had spent most of his life in hiding, and in a sense, he understood himself far better than anyone else.

He knew how greedy his ego was.

The extreme thought of destroying what one cannot have might arise, but one would never tolerate kneeling at the feet of a traitor.

He only wants to use the power given to him by the bloodline of the Du Ye to reach a higher level.

Therefore, when Du Nie spoke of serving all sentient beings as Buddha in response to Ruo Shui's doubts, the monk Hui Ming sensed something was amiss.

This egoistic thought seems to differ from one's true self.

Adding to the power that erupted when the Bodhi Leaf seal was broken, the even more intense aura, though of the same origin, further confirmed Monk Huiming's idea.

This is how others see him!
This explanation made the players realize the truth.

No wonder the other side chose to confront them in the underground Buddhist kingdom instead of showing up and causing trouble outside the Compassion Temple.

You should know that the Black Eye Obsession had been meditating in front of the stone gate chamber because he was unwilling to leave, fearing that he would miss any opportunity to open the stone gate.

If he wanted to, there would probably be two monks, one virtuous and one wicked, living in Cibei Temple.

Clearly, this guy in front of me isn't like that.

He cannot leave the underground Buddhist kingdom unless certain conditions are met.

For example, having the monk Huiming sign a Buddhist contract.

These words seemed to have hit the other person's sore spot.

Du Nie, the little black Buddha, whose face was already ferocious, became even more distorted, and said through gritted teeth, "So what! After tonight you will cease to exist! In this world there will only be me, Du Nie! No! It should be the second Buddha of all beings, Du Nie!"

"Since that's the case, then just watch how this brat gets ruined before you sign the Buddhist contract!"

"Huiming! Remember, all these sufferings have befallen him because of you!"

With that, he smashed the vajra in his hand toward the arm of Wusheng, who was lying on the ground.

If that blow had landed squarely, Wusheng's fragile arm would have been turned into a pile of minced meat on the spot.

Even if they are eventually saved, they will likely suffer a lifelong disability.

He wanted to break down Monk Huiming's psychological defenses by torturing Wusheng little by little!

At this critical moment.

A golden light flashed before the monk Huiming's head.

Wu Xiaoyou appeared in front of the little black Buddha and raised her hand to smash the thick vajra.

boom--

The dull thud echoed, and the powerful attack caused a trickle of blood to seep from the corner of her mouth, her entire arm throbbing with pain and numbness.

Fortunately, she withstood the blow and prevented it from landing on Wusheng.

Looking at the Vajra, which, despite being blocked by his [Ancient] power, showed no signs of damage or annihilation.

Wu Xiaoyou had made up her mind.

This thing is indeed a creation of Du Ye.

Within the entire Compassionate Temple, only the power of salvation can remain unaffected by the power of the [Old Days].

Even the things that the monk Huiming created using his vows could not achieve this.

After all, Huiming was merely the son of Duye, and the power of his vows was only obtained through nepotism.

The one who truly becomes a Buddha for all sentient beings is the one who guides them through their karma.

The players then swarmed forward, just like when they besieged Abbot Kongbei before, using various means to attack Du Nie.

However, it seems to only cause some interference and does not cause much substantial damage.

Just as Wu Xiaoyou was about to leave with Wusheng in her arms, Du Nie roared:

"You're not getting away! Nobody's getting away tonight!"

"You all must witness my enlightenment ceremony here!"

At this moment, Wu Xiaoyou suddenly turned around and looked into the distance.

They were shocked to find that the cave entrance they had come in through was completely blocked by a dense network of black threads.

That's a creation that even the power of the [Old Ones] cannot directly destroy!
This underground Buddhist kingdom has been completely sealed off!
Although she has Wusheng in her arms now, where can she escape to next?

Does this mean we have to fight a monster with an endless supply of willpower in this underground Buddhist kingdom?
It seems the chances of victory are slim...

Stop being so rigid! Get moving! Think of a way to break this deadlock!
As Wu Xiaoyou's mind raced, she inexplicably thought of the red candle in her pocket.

Is the message the other party wants to convey related to the current crisis?

and many more……

Why, even after arriving in the underground Buddhist kingdom, did Duye not personally step in to force Huiming?
What's the point of having to create a false obsession?

What exactly was the contest between Du Ye and that person who didn't exist in his memory?
Are there any loopholes or loopholes in this?
Wu Xiaoyou realized that perhaps only she could find the answers to all of this now.

No one can help.

She can only rely on herself. (End of Chapter)
