Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 360 Buddhist Salvation and Transformation, Source Pearl

Upon hearing these words from the god of steam and machinery,

Li Xijun seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous, and a mocking smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of her mouth.

And at the very moment he laughed,

A glint flashed in the eyes of the God of Steam below, and countless illusory gears around him suddenly started turning, emitting a piercing buzz, attempting to use his divine authority to distort the surrounding spatial laws and perform a concealed short-range spatial jump!

"snort."

A faint, cold snort, like ice from the heavens, instantly froze all his little movements.

next moment,

That towering, majestic figure, radiating pure yang and wisdom, once again raised its colossal hand, seemingly capable of covering the starry sky.

The palm slowly pressed down, and beneath it, the Radiant Mandala Barrier reappeared.

It was as if a real, tangible microcosm was being created in the palm of one's hand. The boundless power of confinement, like the merging of heaven and earth, pressed down from all directions, completely locking down every inch of space around the God of Steam and severing all his connection with the outside world.

No matter how loudly the divine authority roared or how powerful the divine force erupted, it was like a flying insect trapped in amber. All its struggles seemed so futile and laughable in the face of the grand power that evolved the world.

At this moment, the god of steam and machinery was utterly desperate.

He felt like he had become Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West," who could never escape the Buddha's palm no matter how much he struggled. All his reliance and scheming became a joke in the face of absolute power.

"Wait! Don't kill me!"

"Spare me! I have crucial information, information that concerns everyone's life or death!"

The instinct for survival overwhelmed everything. He couldn't care less about the demeanor of a deity or the restraint of a transmigrator. He shouted in a tone with a modern accent, completely disregarding his image, his voice trembling with fear.

The enormous hand that loomed over the sky, seemingly about to crush him and his small world together, paused slightly upon hearing this, stopping above his head. However, the massive shadow and terrifying pressure still held him firmly in place, making it hard for him to breathe.

Li Xijun appeared before Xinxiang, looking down with interest at the mechanical god below, which resembled a startled quail, and spoke in a calm tone:

"Oh? Tell me about it, and let's see if your story is worth your life."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, the God of Steam hurriedly spoke as if pouring out beans:

"Now that the East is rising, it will counterattack the West and avenge its humiliation. It is only a matter of time. You are indeed the new master of this world."

As he said this, his tone suddenly shifted, becoming eerie and low, carrying a deliberately crafted air of intimidation and mystery:

"But don't think that means you can rest easy."

Even if you unify the Eastern and Western continents and become the supreme ruler of this world, you are far from safe. In fact... an even greater crisis may be just around the corner!

He tried to make his expression inscrutable, lowering his voice as if he were revealing some ultimate secret of the universe:

"In the boundless depths of the starry sky, in those indescribable secrets... there exists something even more ancient, even greater, even more... unseen!"

"They are the mother nest that nurtures all things, the source that holds secrets, the ancient rulers who roam the stars... Their gaze has long been fixed here!"

He stared intently at Li Xijun, trying to see a trace of seriousness or fear on the other's face.

however,

Li Xijun's reaction was completely unexpected.

"You mean that... a flesh nest, as big as the moon, constructed from countless constantly multiplying and mutated flesh and blood, exuding an aura of extreme yin and reproduction?"

Li Xijun's tone remained calm, as if he were describing an ordinary object.

"Yes, that aura is indeed one of the strongest I've sensed so far."

"Wh...what?"

The god of steam and machinery shuddered violently, as if struck by a thunderbolt.

"How did you know? How could you possibly know so much!"

He screamed in disbelief, his voice distorted.

After he became a god, it was only under the guidance of the Goddess of the Night that he was able to barely glimpse the scattered fragments of information that existed beyond the starry sky, and his soul was shaken as a result, almost being corrupted.

In this bizarre and corrupt world, the more powerful a being is, the more taboo its true name and form become; looking directly at it will bring madness and distortion!

But Li Xijun... not only did he know, but he could also describe it so clearly, specifically, and nonchalantly?

He clearly relied on burning his own willpower and external forces to acquire the power to kill gods.

How could he possibly possess such a high "status" to spy on things without being affected in any way?

That was once a pillar of strength!

Seeing the God of Steam's horrified expression, as if his worldview had collapsed, Li Xijun was too lazy to explain any further.

The luminous mandala barrier enveloping it slowly pressed down again, spreading an aura of suppression over everything.

"If this is what you call a life-saving message, then... you can go now."

"Don't wait, big shot! Fellow countryman! For the sake of us being transmigrators, give me a way out!"

The god of steam was terrified and begged incoherently.

"You've already sealed away Libra and the others, so you don't need me, right? Spare my life! I'm willing to be sealed away, I'm willing to be a dog! You can tell me to go east, I'll never go west, just please don't kill me!"

Seeing that Li Xijun seemed unmoved, he gritted his teeth as if he had made an extremely painful decision.

He let out a deep roar, his mechanical body trembled violently, and even cracked open in several places, forcibly peeling out a seemingly plain bead that emitted a hazy gray halo from the deepest part of his soul.

"This is my cheat code [Source Pearl]."

He held the bead in both hands, as if offering up the most precious treasure.

"I... I still don't fully understand all its functions, but I know it can accelerate the absorption of potions, resist the rampant corruption of the potion system, and continuously nourish and strengthen the soul. This is absolutely a treasure. I offer it to you, just to exchange it for a chance to live!"

Upon seeing this [Source Pearl], a genuine spark of interest flashed in Li Xijun's eyes.

His original intention in sealing away Libra Goddess and others was indeed to delay the "aggregation" process, not necessarily to kill them directly.

Now that the God of Steam is so sensible, a new idea has arisen in his mind.

He has now advanced to the second level of the Thunder Tribulation, his divine soul has undergone a transformation, and his Buddhist supernatural powers have greatly improved.

Although it is not as insidious as some methods that specifically manipulate the mind, if the other party is willing and does not resist, and with the help of one's own vast power of will, it is not impossible to try to use the supreme Buddhist teachings to forcibly convert them and make them take refuge!

In this way, not only will they gain a god-level henchman, but they will also have an excellent "pathfinder" or rather... "Pokémon" when exploring those dangerous mythical worlds in the main world in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Xijun slowly spoke:

"Yes, but you must completely open your mind and not have the slightest thought of resistance."

Upon hearing this, the God of Steam and Machinery showed a fleeting look of struggle on his face, which quickly turned into complete resignation:

"I agree, boss, don't worry. This person... this god of mine, has no other merits, except that he's pragmatic, cowardly, and a foreign worshipper... no, I mean, he reveres the strong. As long as I can live, I'm willing to be a dog, I accept it!"

next moment,

With a slight thought, Li Xijun's majestic and solemn countenance appeared, and he chanted profound Buddhist chants, radiating boundless light and auspicious Buddhist light that signified immeasurable life.

This light is not merely purification; it contains the great vow to guide all beings towards goodness and lead them to take refuge in the Buddha!

The vast power of vows burned like a golden ocean, empowering this supreme Buddhist supernatural power, and precisely shone into the core of the Steam God's completely open and unguarded soul...

After a while,

The Buddha's light gradually faded.

The god of steam and machinery slowly raised his head, the fear, cunning, and resentment in his eyes vanished, replaced by a clear piety and gentleness.

He bowed respectfully to Li Xijun, his voice calm yet full of reverence:

"Namo...Master. I was foolish before and committed many sins. Fortunately, you enlightened me with the supreme Buddha Dharma, dispelling the fog of delusion and allowing me to see the true nature of reality. From now on, I am willing to follow you, listen to your teachings, and cleanse my sins, even at the cost of my life."
