Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

Chapter 88 Don't call me by my name!

The silence on the battlefield lasted only a moment.

Then an even more immense power began to descend.

First, there was the surrounding wind. It received some kind of instruction and suddenly began to spin faster, emitting long, mournful sounds like the roar of a dragon.

Amidst the deafening roar of the dragon, a whirlwind formed, pulling the primordial energy of the earth upwards in a visible manner!

The surrounding glow grew richer and richer, and the dark color within the deep yellow gradually faded, with streaks of orange-yellow almost leaping out of the glow.

The fire of the Yellow Emperor's Ancestral Temple burning fiercely within Ao Peng's body allowed him to clearly see the things within the rosy light.

The rising Xuanhuang earth vein energy transformed into tangible chains, some tens of meters long and others hundreds of meters long. These chains dragged a Xuanhuang sphere out of the ground. This Xuanhuang sphere, now compressed to its limit, was only about the size of an adult's fist. Amidst the vast expanse of rosy light, it was dragged into Elder Mo's hand.

Then, in the next moment, Mo Lao reached out and used the fire of humanity as ink and the black and yellow paper to draw a tomorrow in this world.

The moment tomorrow emerges, even a sliver of light is enough to pierce the deepest darkness.

It truly is as the saying goes: at this moment, all dust has settled and light has emerged!

At the start of the battle, Mo Lao used the "Landscape So Beautiful" painting to mobilize the land in all directions and accumulate boundless Xuanhuang Qi to fight against the "Three Realms Ascension Array" constructed by King Lu.

Now that the Netherworld and the Human Realm of the [Three Realms Ascension Array] have been destroyed, only the imperfect Yaochi Realm remains. Naturally, Elder Mo no longer needs to worry about anything else.

The vast, cloud-like glow surged through the cave like a whirlwind, rapidly engulfing the realms symbolizing the underworld and the human world, completely encompassing the two spaces that King Lu had built with vast resources into the "Beautiful Landscape" painting.

Therefore, Mo Lao didn't need to move at all. In Ao Peng's eyes, deep in the cave, another cloud-shrouded mountain, resembling a palace in the heavens, was "pulled" over by the surrounding space.

The palace has white jade steps and bronze pillars. Beneath the grand hall, rows of lacquered wooden tables that have remained intact for a thousand years are displayed. The essential oils refined by the mermaids are used to light eternal lamps, but these lamps are now useless.

The moment the great sun of humanity, held aloft by Elder Mo, shone down, the entire ancient palace was revealed in its entirety. The ancient corpses hidden in the darkness were instantly ignited by this light, turning into a handful of snow-white ashes, dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

"This is outrageous!"

When the light shone into the deepest part, a magnificent coffin was forcibly opened, and inhuman roars came from within, but everyone could hear the owner's anger and intentions in the roars.

Inside the coffin, an ancient corpse dressed in a crown robe sat up. Due to the swelling of his body and the absorption of a large amount of Yellow Spring Water, his body had completely transformed into a terrifying giant. Yellowish-purple fluid dripped continuously as he sat up, even causing his eyeballs to roll out of their sockets.

However, a crack appeared on his back, and strands of pure silver-white, delicate as the new feathers of a fledgling bird, gushed out with pure Yin energy. The crack was seven or eight zhang wide, and for a moment it was able to withstand the scorching sunlight.

During the Han Dynasty, there was a technique called "corpse dissolution." This technique believed that after a person dies, as long as they cultivate themselves properly and arrange their tomb, their spirit can travel from the underworld to the human world and then to the heavens. From the decaying body, the purest Taiyin power can slowly be born. With the help of Taiyin power, the spirit will gradually condense into a new form, at which point it will become a fully realized celestial being. Finally, it will cross the heavenly realm, arrive at the Jade Pool Sacred Realm, and drink the elixir of immortality.

This method is called Taiyin Lianxing, and is also known as the Feathering and Ascension Technique.

This is also the origin of the earliest ghost immortals. However, this method of cultivation is only attainable by kings and nobles. Just the construction of a tomb symbolizing the three realms is beyond the reach of ordinary nobles.

Therefore, during the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, scholars and literati also wanted to seek immortality and ask questions, but they were short of money and could only use precious swords and peachwood staffs to dissolve their physical bodies. They could not complete the process of their souls ascending from the underworld to the heavenly realm, and thus they were considered the lowest of the low, ghost immortals.

However, King Lu Shang had not yet completed his final transformation when he was forced to emerge from the coffin, thus completely severing his path of Taiyin Refinement.

"Do you all know who my master is?"

King Lu Shang was at his wit's end. Knowing that the empire was powerful, he wanted to rely on his "teacher" to make the empire back down.

Old Mo chuckled softly.

It's likely that King Lu Shang didn't understand the role of a prince when he was alive, and he still hasn't figured it out even after being dead for over a thousand years!

Now they even want to bring up their teacher's name.

"I don't want to know."

Mr. Mo replied with a smile.

King Lu Shang, who had already reached the level of a giant, opened his mouth. Why was this guy not playing by the rules?

Shouldn't you politely ask about your teacher's lineage?

Never mind, the title of his teacher was now his last lifeline. King Lu Shang opened his mouth and loudly proclaimed, "My teacher is—"

His first four words echoed in the palace like the resounding toll of a bell, but the rest of his words failed to make a sound.

"My teacher is—"

King Lu Shang tried again, and it was the same this time. He could say the first four words, but he couldn't make a sound at all for the next few words!

Upon seeing this, Ao Peng instantly realized that King Lu Shang's teacher did not want him to utter that name!

When Patriarch Bodhi banished Sun Wukong, he reminded Sun Wukong not to call out his master's name if anything happened outside.

Why don't you call out?

It's not that Patriarch Bodhi doesn't want to help, but by calling out his name, you've broken the tacit understanding between the higher-ups!

At that point, there really won't be any way to save you!

The answer that "Old Master Mo didn't want to know" was not actually meant for King Lu Shang, but for the teacher behind King Lu Shang!

The attempt to forcibly connect the old world and the real world, with the intention of creating a ghost realm on earth, will end with King Lu Shang. The empire will not pursue further as to which deity is behind this.

If King Lu Shang were wise, he would have kept quiet and surrendered, and perhaps even had a chance to confess and receive leniency. There are many demons and monsters in Journey to the West who were led away by Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. But at this moment, King Lu Shang was so foolish as to want to reveal his teacher's name!

This is just as stupid as shouting "My dad is Li Gang" in the street!

Ao Peng instantly realized that this was his chance!

He poured a coin of life-giving money into the [Six Paths of Karma Wheel]. The next moment, the surrounding lotus branches grew wildly, penetrating the ground and forming a pure gold lotus seat. The six gun barrels, symbolizing the six paths of reincarnation, closed with a clicking sound. A sense of great purity and freedom spread, making Ao Peng's thoughts clearer than ever before.

In his eyes, the world transformed into a picture of countless tangled threads, and he set his sights on one of them, the thread connecting him to King Lu Shang.

Master Mo, of course, noticed Ao Peng's actions. Seeing that King Lu Shang still wanted to speak, he interrupted with a smile, "You don't need to say who your teacher is. Do you know why you can't say that name today?"

The power of the sun in his hands shone even brighter.

King Lu Shang struggled to resist using the power of Taiyin, and asked in bewilderment, "Why?"

Elder Mo's smile faded, and he said solemnly, "In this world, humanity is flourishing, and all gods and Buddhas should naturally give way!"

The scorching, bright sunlight completely choked the Yin energy that King Lu Shang had gathered. In the instant the two forces clashed, Ao Peng pulled the trigger, following the causal thread between himself and King Lu Shang.

Boom! Even with the massive lotus seat sharing the recoil, the surrounding ground instantly cracked like a spider web, as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

At the same time, King Lu Shang's enormous head exploded!
