Chapter 703: The Nirvana Hall
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This masterpiece imparted by Buddha was termed as the Buddha’s Palm. There was a total of nine techniques and they were not differentiated by levels. Each technique corresponded to a great path of Dao. If one could understand it, he would become a Daluo.
It was said that there was a tenth technique despite the Buddha’s Palm only created a total of nine techniques. As nine was the largest number, ten would have exceeded the numbering limits. If one was able to use the tenth technique, he would attain detachment.
Inevitably, Mahamayuri was unable to use the tenth palm. He could not display all nine palms within one breath as well. He only managed to use one simple palm in his attack. The pervasive svástika words caused Kunlun to quake. The realm of dreamland did not contain anything. However, it was shaken amidst this huge collision.
Many were stunned by this palm method. It was indeed the Buddha’s masterpiece for it actually shaken Taixu.
For the first time, a huge crevice appeared in Kunlun Mountain. The crevice extended from Yuxu Palace to the jade stairs at the foot of the mountain and it started to crack. This was a huge humiliation for Yuxu Palace. It was the first time someone dared to misbehave at this palace ever since the Primeval attained Dao.
“Kong Xuan, I want to tear you into pieces and demote your spirit into the Nine Underworlds. You will never be able to recover,” a sound roared from Yuxu Palace. Even if Yuxu Palace’s sky-engulfing seal was not the legendary Seal of Fantian which could repress everything, it was definitely a personal creation of Primeval Lord of Heaven that was compatible to the Buddha’s palm
Many spiritual wills were channeled into this huge collision. They wanted to learn some essence from the Daoist Master so as to nourish their own cultivation. However, most of the spiritual will would be destroyed by the after-effects of this great collision whenever they entered it. Even spiritual will which was comparable to Vajra became extremely weak under such a mighty force.
Only a handful of wills were undamaged and succeeded to catch a glimpse of the supreme state of Daoist Master. This was because they have absorbed the laws of morality and principles of rhyme which were produced through the intense collision.
The boughs of Bodhi tree shattered while its leaves transformed into fine powder. Kong Xuan was suppressed by that sky-engulfing seal. He was unable to disentangle himself from that seal even though his five colored divine lights were surging throughout his body.
Ultimately, Kong Xuan held his hands up out of a sudden and blood rain poured over Kunlun Mountain. This was the Great Way’s blood rain. Numerous cracks appeared in Kunlun Mountain. Under such a force, the majestic grandeur of Yuxu Palace was diminished instantly.
In the void universe, countless cultivators of the Art of Five Elements felt a loss in their Qi of vitality. However, Kong Xuan’s might increased continuously such that it became almost on par with that of Yuxu Palace.
A colossal cloud of Qi of vitality appeared in his palms that were held up high. It forcefully sustained the attacks of the sky-engulfing seal. When he threw out the cloud of Qi of Vitality, the seal was unable to contain it anymore. The cloud then jolted into the air and headed towards Yuxu Palace.
The great figures who were observing this scene in secrecy were not merely stunned. Kong Xuan actually wanted to annihilate Primeval Lord of Heaven’s place of enlightenment. This was an act of degradation.
Even figures as powerful as Zhen Yuanzi might not be able to make such a bold decision.
The Pangu Hatabu in Yuxu Palace started to move while a cold roar sounded from the realm of dreamland. A huge hand emerged from Pangu Hatabu while colossal Yuqing fairy gleams appeared from the flag. The huge hand whacked the cloud of Qi of Vitality and this caused the sky-engulfing seal to fall back down. The seal hit Kong Xuan’s shoulder and he fell to the ground powerlessly, Subsequently, the hand grabbed Kong Xuan and squeezed him lightly. Even if you were a Daluo with countless years of cultivation, you would also be squashed like a biscuit.
“Imprison him under the Qilin cliff.” Two golden armored heroes walked out of Yuxu Palace. They took out a coil of celestial rope and tied Kong Xuan up. Subsequently, they headed towards the Qilin cliff situated behind Yuxu Palace and suppressed him there.
Many deities and demons who were observing in secrecy pitied Kong Xuan. The Yuqing fairy gleam that emerged from Pangu Hatabu towards the end of the battle was clearly the force from Primeval Lord of Heaven’s Yuqing Primordial Spirit imprint. The creation of the gigantic illusory hand by Zhenren Yuding through his utilization of this force was almost compatible with Daoists’ use of supernatural powers.
Kong Xuan was not defeated by Yuding. He was unable to sustain Yuxu Palace’s profound sources. Apart from various numinous treasures, there were Daoists’ Primordial Spirit imprints that could be utilized.
Nevertheless, since Yuding had such techniques, nobody from the Three Realms was fit to be his opponent.
After this battle, though Yuxu Palace’s prestige was heightened, Palace of the Undead continued to deteriorate.
In the Palace of the Undead, Kui Li witnessed the battle skills of Kong Xuan and Yuding through the divine restriction. Even till the end when Kong Xuan was captured, she was still in disbelief.
She did not understand why Kong Xuan wanted to challenge Yuxu Palace. After all, there was no rational explanation for his actions.
An administrator of the Palace of the Undead reached outside of the main hall and requested to meet Kui Li.
Kui Li permitted his entrance. This person’s cultivation experience was truly profound insomuch that he might have reached the state of Taiyi. He said respectfully, “Young master, I am Feng Qingtian. Vidyaraja had ordered me to invite you to a place at this timing.”
Kui Li was slightly stunned and sais, “When did he order you?”
It seemed like Feng Qingtian had the habit to behave seriously at all times. He spoke plainly, “He had ordered me prior to your return. Vidyaraja had predicted today’s incident. He is currently suppressed below Kunlun Mountain. For this period of time, you are needed to take charge of the palace. In order to prevent you from panicking, he had laid down some plans. Please, do follow me.”
Kui Li finally understood what has happened. The result of Kong Xuan’s battle against Kunlun was already predicted. He even had arrangements for the aftermath. However, Kui Li still did not understand why he had made such a decision.
Nevertheless, she did not reject Kong Xuan’s arrangements. She followed Feng Qingtian and desired to see what Kong Xuan have planned.
Feng Qingtian did not bring Kui Li out of the Palace of the Undead. Instead, they arrived at Kong Xuan’s usual venue for solitary retreat. The place was called the Nirvana Hall. It was also the place where the Phoenix cultivated.
This was the restricted area of the Palace of the Undead. Even Feng Qingtian was not eligible to enter.
Kui Li was eligible to enter this hall. Though her cultivation experience was not considered to be profound in the palace, her status was, however, just below that of Kong Xuan. Of course, although she was able to enter this place, it was her first time entering the Nirvana hall.
There was a peacock screen when one entered into the main hall. Some golden lights would emerge and warmth was radiated. This helped to calm one’s state of mind.
Those golden lights were Dharma that was left behind by Kong Xuan when he had his solitary retreat. It was also the essence of Kong Xuan’s understanding of the Buddhist sect.
However, Kui Li was not interested in these. She walked past the peacock screen and found a Silent Room inside. The floor was paved with smooth rocks which looked like Heaven Pearls in the Buddhist legends. Heaven Pears were originally ordinary rocks. They were only turned into Heaven Pearls after being blessed with Dharma by enlightened monks with great morality.
A Mother-of-pearl-plant bloomed. The flower and the Dzi bead on the floor complemented each other such that they appeared naturally simplistic. The greatest attraction was an altar situated behind the flower. There was a Daoist being worshipped on the altar.
Originally, this place was filled with the serenity of zen. It would be peculiar to have an extra Daoist in this place. Nonetheless, it did not seem bizarre at all. The Daoist sat silently on that altar and had a Mystical Tree with Seven Treasures in his hand.
On the contrary. he was perfectly suited to the surrounding flow of zen-like the mixture of milk and water. They seemed inseparable.
Not many could cultivate both Dharma and Dao techniques at the same time. Based on Kui Li’s life experiences, the ability to unite techniques of both sects perfectly was not possessed by many. It can be considered that Shen Lian had part of such an ability.
