Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

"It's alright, this old monk is a virtuous person, he won't mind."

"By the way, does anyone know what this old monk's Buddhist name is?"

"It seems to be called Fahai."

“Amitabha Buddha, this old monk Fahai greets you, benefactor. Please heed my advice: the road ahead is blocked; stop here!”

Looking at the old monk blocking the way, Liu Qing smiled and said, "Seven people from Buddhism have transformed into their true forms to participate in the Tribulation of the Dragon-Walking Man. Now, six of them have passed away, leaving only the Buddha of Precious Light."

"Fahai, why don't you reveal your true form? This hiding isn't satisfying!"

Jinshan Temple, Fahai?

Hehe, even if I am the Green Snake, the White Snake is still the White Snake. Now that both the Green and White Snakes are here, Fahai, can you suppress them?

Upon hearing this, Fahai no longer concealed himself, uttered a Buddhist chant, and instantly revealed his true form, which was none other than the Buddha of Precious Light.

The Buddha of Precious Light stood barefoot on a sixth-grade lotus platform, and like the Bodhisattvas of Sunlight and Moonlight, he was also a mid-grade spiritual treasure.

Wearing a cotton kasaya, it can ward off water and fire, and make the body light and solid. Although it can be considered a mid-grade spiritual treasure, it is more for highlighting the identity of the great virtuous Buddha.

In addition to the six-tiered lotus platform and the cotton kasaya, the Buddha of Precious Light also holds a precious tin staff in one hand and a purple-gold alms bowl in the other.

The Precious Light Staff is a supreme innate spiritual treasure, the very treasure used by the Precious Light Buddha to attain enlightenment, hence his title as Buddha.

That purple-gold alms bowl is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, containing a grotto-heaven world within it. Its size is no less than that of a middle-thousand world, capable of containing all things and also trapping all things.

The Buddha Baoguang himself possessed the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm.

Unlike Bhaisajyaguru Buddha and Vairocana Buddha, who only stepped halfway into the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm, Precious Light Buddha was truly in the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they are only half a step apart; one is still in the early stage of the Great Luo Realm, while the other is definitely in the middle stage of the Great Luo Realm.

The difference between the mid-stage and the early stage is only one small tier, but the corresponding difference in strength is like heaven and earth.

With his own cultivation at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm, plus the protection of the Six-Rank Lotus Platform and the Cotton Kasaya, as well as the innate high-grade spiritual treasure, the Light-Shining Staff, which can be used for attack, and the acquired high-grade spiritual treasure, the Purple-Gold Bowl, which can trap and capture people.

The power displayed by this Buddha of Precious Light was unprecedented in Liu Qing's life, and as an opponent, he was the first person with such high strength.

Liu Qing's expression gradually became serious, and he dared not take it lightly. The slight sense of pride he had felt from breaking through to the Golden Body Realm and achieving the sixth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique quickly subsided.

With his strength surging, he needed to test his current combat power. The timely appearance of the Buddha of Precious Light and his battle with him were a perfect opportunity to solidify his foundation.

Liu Qing was eager to try, and did not feel too much pressure because of the strength shown by the Buddha of Precious Light. On the contrary, the pressure made him want to win.

After Liu Qing let out a clear and melodious dragon roar, he unleashed his three heads and six arms, transforming into a three-headed dragon. From the mouths of the three dragon heads, he spewed out the innate top-grade spiritual treasures: the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, the innate top-grade spiritual treasure Qiankun Ruler, and the innate top-grade spiritual treasure Golden Bell.

At the same time, Liu Qing summoned the innate top-grade spiritual treasure, the Sun and Moon Wheel, which hovered above his head, constantly absorbing the power of the sun and moon, ready to deliver the final blow at any moment.

As for defense, after the sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, one can withstand the full force of a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure. What need is there for a defensive spiritual treasure?
Although the Precious Light Staff in the hands of the Precious Light Buddha was a superior innate grade, its power was greater than that of a superior acquired grade, but it was still limited. Even if Liu Qing did not defend against it, a full-force strike from the Precious Light Staff would at most cause Liu Qing minor injuries.

Besides, Liu Qing wasn't stupid; he couldn't just stand still and let the precious tin staff strike his body.

"Snake demon, today I will surely subdue you!"

"Before you came here, I found a feng shui treasure land for you in Jinshan Temple. After you are killed, I will bury you under Leifeng Pagoda."

A fierce glint flashed in Liu Qing's eyes: "Who will go to Leifeng Pagoda will have to wait until after the battle!"

As soon as Buddha Baoguang threw the purple-gold alms bowl, it came down on Liu Qing's head. A beam of purple light instantly arrived above Liu Qing's head, intending to take Liu Qing into the purple-gold alms bowl.

"roll!--"

Liu Qing wielded the Qiankun Ruler, gathering the power of the Lesser Thousand Worlds, transforming it into a ten-thousand-foot-long blade of energy, and slashed fiercely forward.

The purple light was easily shattered by the blade's energy, but its momentum remained undiminished, striking the purple-gold alms bowl with a deafening clang, sending the bowl flying back.

Although both are innate high-grade spiritual treasures, there are differences in their levels. The purple-gold alms bowl can only capture and trap people, and its power is comparable to the acquired high-grade spiritual treasure, the Human Seed Bag. How can it be compared to a killing spiritual treasure like the Qiankun Ruler?

In the first round, both sides chose to use magical treasures to try their attacks. The Buddha of Precious Light's purple-gold alms bowl was slightly inferior to the Qiankun Ruler.

Seeing the purple-gold alms bowl being blasted away, Liu Qing pressed his advantage and once again used the Qiankun Ruler and the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone to strike at the Buddha of Precious Light.

Buddha Baoguang hurriedly recalled the Purple Gold Bowl to block the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone. Having already fought it before, he knew that the Purple Gold Bowl was no match for the Qiankun Ruler, so Buddha Baoguang dared not use the Purple Gold Bowl to fight the Qiankun Ruler again.

The purple-gold alms bowl was used to block the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, while the more powerful and deadly Precious Light Staff was used to meet the Qiankun Ruler.

Liu Qing smiled jokingly, but the Buddha Baoguang was wrong.

The Radiant Staff and the Universe Ruler were evenly matched, but the Purple Gold Bowl, which went to meet the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, was pierced away by the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone. The spirit of the magical treasure wailed, as if it had suffered a serious injury.

The Panlong Eight-Tone Cone is the most powerful weapon, its destructive power surpassing that of the Qiankun Ruler of the same level.

The Purple Gold Bowl was already weaker than the Qiankun Ruler, but now it chose to fight against the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, which was even stronger than the Qiankun Ruler. What else could it do but cry out in sorrow?

Buddha Baoguang hurriedly summoned the golden alms bowl, held it in his palm to look at it, and upon seeing it, he was instantly heartbroken.

On the bottom of the purple-gold alms bowl, a dent had been pierced by the coiled dragon eight-tone cone, indicating that the spirit treasure itself had been damaged.

If they were to exchange blows a few more times, the purple-gold alms bowl might suffer even more damage and risk dropping in rank.

Regardless of how much the Buddha of Precious Light felt sorry for him, Liu Qing had the Qiankun Ruler fully entangle the Precious Light Staff, while he unleashed a tidal wave of attacks with the Panlong Eight-Tone Cone, striking the Purple Gold Bowl repeatedly.

Buddha Baoguang could no longer remain calm. If this continued, his golden alms bowl would surely be demoted in rank within a few rounds.

Baoguang Buddha suspended the purple-gold alms bowl above his head to stabilize his defense. Seeing the coiled dragon eight-tone cone attacking again, he immediately roared like a wrathful king, made the Vajra mudra with both hands, and manipulated the power of heaven and earth within a hundred miles to transform it into a ten-thousand-foot-long Vajra pestle, which he smashed fiercely at Liu Qing.

The Buddha of Precious Light was a genuine mid-stage Great Luo Realm expert, capable of fully controlling the power of heaven and earth. With this full-force attack, he instantly gathered the power of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles, which was absolutely terrifying.

The Vajra pestle, formed from the combined power of heaven and earth, crashed down like a collapsing pillar of the sky with a thunderous roar. Wherever it passed, space was shattered, revealing endless chaos within, enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.

"Snake demon, no matter how powerful your magical treasures are, your cultivation is ultimately too weak and cannot match the power of heaven and earth!"

"Is that so?" "Great Monk Baoguang, let's see whether your power of heaven and earth is more terrifying, or the power of my physical body is stronger!"

With a roar, Liu Qinglong saw the azure dragon soar into the air, its body shimmering with a rich aura of blood and qi, as it met the falling vajra pestle.

As the two drew near, Liu Qing unleashed his Tail Whip talent, whipping his thousand-foot-long dragon tail fiercely against the Vajra pestle formed from the combined power of heaven and earth.

boom--

The vajra shattered instantly.

The power of heaven and earth raged all around, causing the mountains to shake and the space to tremble instantly.

Buddha Baoguang's pupils contracted, his face filled with disbelief: "Snake demon, how can you possess such terrifying physical strength?"

Simply appalling!
In the Three Realms, there are few who can withstand a full-force attack that gathers the power of heaven and earth within a hundred miles. In addition, to be able to withstand it with only physical strength is absolutely unique.

Among the immortals and Buddhas in the Three Realms who are famous for their physical strength, there are Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven; the Heavenly Giant Spirit God; the Mighty Bull Demon King of the Demon Clan; and Erlang Shen Yang Jian.

To a great being like Buddha Baoguang, these people were nothing but children's games. Their talk of conquering heaven by force was nothing but boasting behind closed doors.

No matter how strong the physical body is, can it compare to the power of heaven and earth?

Buddha Baoguang never believed that anyone in the Three Realms could withstand the power of heaven and earth that he controlled.

However, Liu Qing's actions just now shattered the Buddha Baoguang's understanding.

There really is someone who can withstand the power of heaven and earth with just their physical strength. Moreover, this power of heaven and earth is not borrowed by those little monks in the early stage of the Great Luo Realm, but is actually controlled by them. They control the power of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles.

The Buddha of Precious Light did not know how powerful the force of heaven and earth was within a hundred miles. He only knew that Liu Qing had used the power of his pure physical body to forcefully shatter the force of heaven and earth within that hundred miles.

Buddha Baoguang thought he had taken it seriously enough, but now it seems he hadn't.

Liu Qing possesses numerous and high-grade spiritual treasures. In a clash of spiritual treasures, I was already at a disadvantage. Now, as I attempted to suppress him by manipulating the power of heaven and earth, he shattered them with his physical strength.

Buddha Baoguang groaned inwardly and cursed the pervert with frustration. Nowadays, all the beings in the Three Realms who cultivate the path choose magic and supernatural powers or spiritual treasures. Once their cultivation reaches the Great Luo level, they can borrow them first and then control the power of heaven and earth to fight their enemies.

Who would be so bored as to cultivate their physical strength?

From the beginning of the Three Realms to the present, only Panlong and the Twelve Ancestral Witches have cultivated physical strength.

Now, there's another Liu Qing.

Thinking of this, Buddha Baoguang seemed to realize something, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he had a guess that shocked him.

Is Liu Qing planning to follow the path of strength?

Buddha Baoguang did not continue to think about it, because Liu Qing did not give him time. After shattering the power of heaven and earth that had gathered for hundreds of miles, Liu Qing soared down and pounced on Buddha Baoguang. When he got close, he viciously lashed out with his dragon tail like a whip.

Buddha Baoguang felt a tremor in his heart and hurriedly gathered the power of heaven and earth around him to resist. This time, he risked his life and gathered the greatest power of heaven and earth that he could gather with his current level of cultivation.

The power of heaven and earth covering an area of ​​two hundred miles.

The power of heaven and earth within a radius of two hundred miles was gathered, reaching the limit of the Buddha of Precious Light. He painstakingly used his divine soul to control so much power of heaven and earth, and once again condensed a vajra pestle to meet the dragon tail that Liu Qing lashed out from below.

boom--

Liu Qing's dragon tail seemed to lash the heavens and the earth, vast, majestic, and seemingly inviolable.

But Liu Qing roared fiercely, his dragon tail lashing out and landing squarely on the target. With a deafening boom, the Vajra Pestle, formed from the power of heaven and earth within a radius of two hundred miles, was shattered into pieces and returned to the world.

Liu Qing's dragon tail was shaken back, and the force of the impact was terrifying, sending Liu Qing's body flying hundreds of miles away.

Liu Qinglong tore through space with his dragon claw and returned. With lingering fear, he said to Buddha Baoguang, "Great monk, you truly deserve to be called a top expert in the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm. That all-out attack that gathered the power of heaven and earth almost shattered the scales of my true body!"

puff--

Buddha Baoguang felt an inexplicable anger rise up, surge into his throat, cause an itch, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just now, the Buddha Baoguang had his power of heaven and earth shattered by Liu Qing's attack. He suffered a backlash from the power of heaven and earth, and his blood and qi flowed backward. Just as he was forcibly suppressing it, he heard Liu Qing's arrogant words and instantly broke through his defenses in anger, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

With this spit out of blood, Buddha Baoguang's face instantly turned ashen, and his aura dropped considerably, clearly indicating that he had suffered a serious injury.

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Liu Qing was not about to let such a good opportunity pass.

Seeing that Buddha Baoguang was injured, Liu Qing instantly enveloped Buddha Baoguang with the Sun and Moon Wheel, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure that he had been holding back for so long.

With a joyful shout, the Sun and Moon Wheel immediately unleashed the power of the sun and moon, transforming it into a yin-yang millstone that rapidly spun and ground the Buddha of Precious Light, treating him as grain.

"It's actually a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?!"

Buddha Baoguang was instantly shocked. As a top Buddhist master who had attained enlightenment since the primordial era, he had never seen the Sun and Moon Wheel before. Naturally, he did not immediately realize that the Sun and Moon Wheel was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

I thought it was just an ordinary magical treasure.

But when the sun and moon enveloped him, and the power of the sun and moon transformed into a yin-yang millstone, he was awakened, but it was too late.

Even a powerful being like Buddha Baoguang, who was in the mid-stage of the Great Luo Realm, could not break free when trapped by the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Sun and Moon Wheel. He could only let the Yin-Yang millstone formed by the power of the sun and moon grind him down bit by bit.

The Buddha Baoguang felt a deep sorrow in his heart.

Liu Qing was already experiencing a stress response. Upon seeing the Buddha Baoguang's pale expression, he immediately thought of the Sun and Moon Bodhisattva, the Medicine Buddha, and the Vairocana Buddha.

That's when I thought of self-destruction.

A sudden jolt went through him. This old monk was about to self-destruct. He had to prevent him from doing so and had to suppress him. Otherwise, the power of a mid-stage Great Luo Realm expert's self-destruction would probably exceed the power of heaven and earth within a thousand miles. He would never be able to withstand it.

Liu Qing opened his mouth repeatedly, first spitting out the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, which caused nine fire dragons to tightly entangle the true body of the Buddha Baoguang. Then he summoned the Acquired High-Grade Spiritual Treasure Human Seed Bag, pointing the bag's mouth at the Buddha Baoguang and emitting boundless suction power, preventing him from being distracted and forcing him to resist the suction power. Otherwise, he would be sucked into the Human Seed Bag.

That wasn't all. Liu Qing then quickly summoned the Dragon-Binding Rope, the Mist-Dew Universe Net, Nezha's Hun Tian Ling, the Lucky Bag of the Cloth Bag Arhat, and the Exquisite Pagoda of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, among other magical treasures, which he had obtained after subduing Princess Longji.

They all targeted the Buddha of Precious Light; these magical treasures were all designed to trap, capture, or restrict the movement of people. (End of Chapter)
