CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 123 ONE WAY

Lu Ren shook his head and said, "Not eradication, just temporary suppression. I don’t know how to eradicate his spirit."

Ksitigarbha was extraordinarily delighted and quickly said, "I understand!!"

"Just about to ask you." Lu Ren pondered for a moment, then spoke, "He pulled my consciousness into a certain place."

"What place?" Although Ksitigarbha was a person of great wisdom from the store of supreme wisdom, he quickly reacted and said in astonishment, "Subodhi pulled you into the meditation state?"

Lu Ren nodded and asked, "What kind of place is that?"

The skull-faced Ksitigarbha genuinely couldn’t see his expression, only his tone was somewhat ethereal, "It might be a path, but of course, it could also just be a spiritual realm."

"A path?" Lu Ren raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Ksitigarbha said, "Do you know that in the time I lived, most of the common people were in a state of not having enough to eat or wear, while a martial path practitioner with a strong physique, a powerful martial path practitioner, could easily devour an entire cow in one meal, which was extremely costly.

And the Buddhist and Taoist sects, although each prospered and produced many extraordinarily talented Bright Awakening Martial Taoist Family members, to produce even one in a hundred years was already remarkable. Merely providing for their daily needs was a tremendous burden.

So ultimately, they were few in number. More often, they would delve into spiritual cultivation, seeking breakthroughs in the divine. This is static skill, which has a much lower demand for food, and moreover... Shakyamuni indeed found a path, which was to delve deep into the meditation realm, and in the void, sense a mysterious place."

Ksitigarbha seemed a bit unsure, "But... their so-called primordial spirit journey, after achieving meditation realm radiance, from what they sensed in the Yellow Court, in the meditation realm, what it was, everyone kept their mouths shut about everything they saw and heard inside. I don’t know what they’ve seen, nor do I know where they’ve gone out of the spirit realm, what they’ve witnessed."

Ksitigarbha’s words bore some horror, "After they returned, everything changed. It became extremely abnormal. It was the first time I saw confusion on Venerable Shakyamuni’s face."

A person of great wisdom and determination, the founder of the Buddhist Zen Sect, even in myth and legend referred to as Shakyamuni Buddha, would feel confused about certain things, which was an incredible and unimaginable matter.

"You’ve never been?" Lu Ren asked.

"No." Ksitigarbha shook his head slightly. "I have shortcomings in my heart, unable to achieve meditation realm radiance, I can only enter the meditation realm, but I can’t sense that mysterious place, can’t explore what’s inside."

"You’ve never asked?"

"I once asked Venerable Shakyamuni, but he wouldn’t speak a word."

Lu Ren said somewhat teasingly, "No wonder Subodhi said you only made grand vows..."

Ksitigarbha, rarely embarrassed, sighed softly.

"Perhaps my wisdom falls short."

Then he had a bit of pride.

"But Subodhi is even more inferior to me!"

Even dead people still clamoring here...

After a pause, Ksitigarbha looked at Lu Ren, "The way you look now, there’s something wrong with your eyes."

Lu Ren instinctively touched his eyelids, "What’s wrong?"

He pulled out his phone and opened the selfie camera to take a look, Lu Ren was momentarily stunned, his eyes were blood-red and densely packed with blood vessels filling his sclera, causing such a phenomenon.

"This is..."

"This is Angry Eyes!"

Ksitigarbha observed for a while, finally concluding in a deep voice, "Subodhi has been constantly attempting to attack you."

"I know." Lu Ren replied.

The continuous system prompts in his mind indicating his spirit being attacked never stopped, during this period his passively increased Spiritual Proficiency reached over three thousand, just as long as Subodhi’s attack continues, keeping up the current pace, it won’t be long before he can level up again.

Ksitigarbha cautiously inquired, "Are you experiencing any abnormalities anywhere?"

"Other than a slight stinging sensation between my eyebrows, everything else is fine."

Ksitigarbha had no way to deal with this either, it couldn’t be expected that even he would delve into Lu Ren’s innermost spirit to duel with Subodhi, besides, Lu Ren had serious reasons to doubt whether Ksitigarbha could suppress Subodhi.

"Although I don’t know exactly why you’ve managed to suppress Subodhi, you’ve certainly dealt with it. I’m only worried whether you’ll be suppressed by some of his subsequent means, successfully allowing him to be reborn in you."

This was quite a serious issue, especially since Lu Ren was now under Subodhi’s gaze, affected by the red light shock entering deep into his mind, attempting to seize control of his body.

If everything went in the wrong direction, it was very likely Lu Ren wouldn’t hold out,

Lu Ren pondered for a moment, shaking his head slightly, "I’m aware of my own situation, there won’t be any issues for the time being."

The blood vessels in his eyes were likely burnt by the red light earlier, they would naturally fade away with a little rest.

And the red light emitted from Subodhi’s eyes, the so-called Qi, was perhaps the red light of Rainbow Transformation evolved by Subodhi’s control of the magnetic field through special secret techniques. If it were really high-heat laser, then in that moment of eye contact, Lu Ren’s eyeballs would have already been completely scorched into crystallization.

Ksitigarbha did not speak further. Given Lu Ren’s strength, even in ancient times he would have been a rare expert. As the saying goes, ’Rich in literature, wealthy in martial arts’, achieving Great Perfection of Fist Technique was exceedingly rare, let alone reaching the pinnacle of body and mind to break through the human body’s ultimate shackle, Bright Awakening, it was already extraordinary for one to appear every one to two hundred years.

The entire process of hunting down Subodhi seemed quite smooth, but it was because Lu Ren had previously shattered Tie Feng’s organs and viscera, causing Subodhi to spew out cell fluid from the original body to reincarnate, wanting to forcibly extend life, he could only spend a lot of spirit, consuming those cell fluids to repair the body, which entangled Subodhi’s considerable energy.

And he hadn’t anticipated that although Lu Ren wasn’t a Great Perfectionist of Fist Technique, yet his strength could contend head-on and prevail, coupled with Ksitigarbha’s assistance from the side, unless Tie Feng’s body broke through its shackles and achieved Bright Awakening, there was no chance for a comeback.

Although it seemed anticlimactic, it was within reason.

The greatest danger within the Treasure Light Buddha Realm was actually the collapse of the secret realm, but with Ksitigarbha’s appearance, this matter also became easier.

Although the journey seemed smooth midway, Lu Ren dared to question the peril encountered during it was very dangerous, whether it was Ksitigarbha, the demonized Subodhi, or the slain Tie Feng.

Ksitigarbha’s words cannot be trusted, the other person completely lacked the appearance of a so-called high monk of great virtue, even if it were said to be a return to simplicity, Lu Ren wouldn’t believe much, of the other person’s words, Lu Ren would only believe one part, while the remaining nine parts according to him were nonsense.

Everyone’s truth is walked out themselves, only by measuring step by step, can one see the dawn.

The reason Lu Ren practiced the Lamp of Freedom Observation was indeed because Ksitigarbha needed Lu Ren to use the Lamp of Freedom to explode and influence the magnetic field, thereby opening the passage back to the real world.

After system verification confirming that the Lamp of Freedom Observation was without issue, the relationship between the two was only initially established.
