Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 749 On the Characteristics of Buddha

Theoretically, traveling south along the Naihe River can indeed lead to Jambudvipa, but one must cross dozens of Naihe Bridges, each guarded by a ghost king, and deal with major bosses, minor bosses, and wild bosses along the way...

Xu Xuan decisively abandoned the plan and patted the Examination and Fraud Office.

"Let's fly there!"

This specially made examination palace truly lives up to its reputation as a palace built when the underworld still existed. After being repaired by the Ghost King of Waste, it regained some of its former glory.

Avoiding the most ominous places, bypassing the eruption of the Blood Pool Hell, passing through the gaps in the Mountain of Knives Hell, and directly crossing the tributary of the River of Three Crossings.

The monsters on the ground suddenly felt a darkness above their heads.

"Did something fly past just now?"

"It's just an illusion..."

"Perhaps it's a larger blood bat?"

The few ghost kings who sensed something amiss tacitly chose to pretend to be blind.

There's a reason why there aren't many flying objects in the sky of the underworld. In the past, those were the exclusive domain of immortals and Buddhas, but now it's because monsters keep emerging from the clouds.

So, someone who can sit and act recklessly in the examination hall can't be someone to be trifled with, can he?

Three years ago, a ghost king who guarded the Bridge of Helplessness died tragically because he was blind to the danger, and to this day, no one knows who did it.

The most important thing now is to respond to the call of the Great Anathapindika's organization to protect the Sixth Great Prison and resist the Black Mountain's scourge on the underworld.

After bypassing Shanjian Mountain, Xu Xuan and the others entered the final destination.

Jambudvipa (Southern Land of Floating Buddha)

Also translated as Jambudvipa or Jambudvipa, it is one of the four continents recorded in Buddhist scriptures.

There is a Jambudvipa tree growing on this continent. It lies on the south bank of the Nimindara River to the north, right in the center of the continent. North of the water, beneath the tree and beneath the water, on the south bank, lies Jambudvipa. Gold was anciently called Jambudvipa gold; the tree was named after the gold, and the continent was named after the tree, hence the name Jambudvipa.

However, the world has long since changed.

The land of Kyushu today no longer corresponds to the four continents in Buddhist scriptures, so Xu Xuan and the others do not know how this region was formed, only that it is located in the south.

In Qilicha's memory, the Daoist temples of the Five Ghost Emperors did indeed faintly echo the Nine Provinces of the mortal world. However, the existence of Jambudvipa, which has existed since ancient times, seemed like a piece of a puzzle that had been forcibly inserted.

I didn't think about it back then, and I still don't now.
"Don't overthink it," Xu Xuan immediately interrupted the guy's various speculations.

A mere little ghost king thinking so much is no good.

Even if there might be some earth-shattering secret involved, Mr. Xu had no intention of investigating it.

These are things that a mere white lotus, who isn't even an immortal, could not possibly know.

He couldn't even dominate the entire land, so why would he want to go looking for death?

To avoid attracting the attention of the Yin-Yang Dharma King, the Examiner's Office landed on the desolate wasteland below.

The moment they landed, all the team members looked up at the same time.

The sky was still the same sky, but the ghostly aura lingering in the air was completely different.

With a madness unlike anything else, Wang Shusheng's soul was affected by this and became somewhat stubborn, wanting to break away from the group and return to the outside world to hide.

He was then given a slap on the head and a beating, which brought him to his senses.

"There is an unusual yin energy, everyone be careful."

Oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges.

Ghosts vary depending on the environment.

As soon as they landed, a swarm of ghosts and monsters surrounded them.
A three-headed, six-armed Rakshasa was tiptoeing and prying at the window; a blue-faced, fanged Yaksha was trying to pry open the door; and there was even a headless ghost pressing its severed neck against the glass window, "looking" inside...

The ghosts were incredibly enthusiastic; despite the protective magic array, it couldn't stop their restlessness. They seemed to be the kind of people who wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal.

You Feng was so frightened that his fingernails grew an inch, while Wang Shusheng was almost in tears.

Just then, a figure emerged from the tense atmosphere and stood in front of everyone. "Hahaha...the atmosphere inside is a bit tense~~~"

Xu Xuan suddenly burst into laughter, stepped out of the magic array, and stood in front of everyone. The muscles on his arm, which was wrapped with prayer beads, bulged, and Buddhist light flowed like gilded gold.

"But it's okay—"

"As long as I am here, no ghost can harm you."

He slightly raised his head, a confident smile curving his lips, as if a holy light effect automatically generated behind him.

—Xu, the warm-hearted captain, announces the release of his limited-edition skin "Demon-Subduing Arhat"!
This is the time to get fired up!
Then the Great Thunderclap Temple exploded, and the Buddha began chanting the mantra for subduing demons when he attained enlightenment.

After a string of Sanskrit electronic rap, the name of the move was finally announced.

"Heavenly Demon, Subdue!"

Golden and elegant.

Although this incantation requires special methods and skills, Xu Xuan was merely borrowing the name of Buddha.

It's all for the sake of being handsome!
Moreover, the fact that Zen Master Fahai revealed his golden side reassured the members of the Justice Team.

See, I'm a good person.

When the light of Buddhism once again appeared on this land, it directly cleared away the evil spirits within a ten-mile radius.

This exhilarating demon-slaying scene certainly boosted the team's morale.

But their joy was short-lived, as the golden light attracted even more monsters.

"Roar--!"

Countless shrieks echoed from all directions, and the area that had been cleared by the Buddha's light was instantly filled with an even more ferocious tide of ghosts.

More dark shadows surged in like a tide on the distant horizon.

There was a ghost general riding a skeletal horse, a female ghost in a wedding dress floating in mid-air, and even a stitched monster like a mountain of flesh, with hundreds of wailing human faces embedded in its body...

Xu Xuan froze on the spot, and the Buddhist light behind him suddenly went out halfway.

Feeling somewhat awkward under the gazes of the other members of the Justice Squad, it seemed quite different from the story's depiction of golden light illuminating the heavens and all ghosts submitting.

"Oh~~~ this is what it means to be deeply attached to one's ego?"

Recalling the *Dīrgha Āgama*, I suddenly understood.

"The people of Jambudvipa excel in three things. What are these three? First, they possess a strong and courageous memory, enabling them to create virtuous deeds; second, they possess a strong and courageous memory, diligently practicing pure conduct; third, they possess a strong and courageous memory, resulting in the birth of a Buddha in their land."

"It truly lives up to its reputation."

Seeing the Buddha's light attracting strange things, Xu Xuan let out a strange cry and made a decisive decision—to switch accounts!
"Since you don't buy into compassion..." The golden light in his eyes suddenly dimmed, then ignited into a scarlet karmic fire, "Then taste the bitterness of demonic obstacles!"

The attempt to salvage the situation begins.

——Crack!
As if some kind of shackles had broken, Xu Xuan's Buddha-light faded away, replaced by surging black and red karmic fire.

The monk's robes fluttered without wind, and the once solemn prayer beads twisted and writh as if alive, transforming into crimson chains.

"Since we can't send them to the afterlife... let's burn them all."

"boom--!!!"

A black and red wave of fire exploded outwards from Xu Xuan, turning the wilderness into a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

The demons at the forefront didn't even have time to scream before they were set ablaze by karmic fire and turned into twisted torches.

The Rakshasa's three heads burned simultaneously, its six arms frantically pounding against itself, only causing the flames to spread faster; the Yaksha's bone knife melted into molten iron, its blue face burned raw, revealing its stark white bones; black smoke billowed from the headless ghost's neck, resembling a human chimney, before it staggered a few steps and collapsed to the ground with a thud...

Even more terrifying is that this fire is contagious!
If one ghost burns, ten ghosts will suffer; if ten ghosts burn, a hundred ghosts will be buried with them.
