I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The massive Buddha statue swayed, its palm descending in a gesture of suppression, quelling the accumulated faith power of tens of thousands of years within the temple, preventing it from erupting.

However, a considerable portion of this faith power flowed towards the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship, like a long river carrying the treasure ship, and it continued to flow in an unending stream.

Although this faith power could be considered a high-quality spiritual resource, it was still a notch below the power of vows. After all, faith power still had an object of belief, was ignorant and unenlightened, and believers were divided into ranks, with fanatical believers and shallow believers, all levels of faith power mixed together.

The power of vows, on the other hand, was a sincere, pure, and beautiful spiritual thought. Especially in the areas directly controlled by Luo Mo, even ordinary people were knowledgeable and courteous, with clear channels for advancement under a good system. Even ordinary people had confidence in their future, and each prayer was not only a plea to the existence in the dark to become a cultivator and receive immortal favor, but also a plan for their future life, setting goals.

The vibrant vitality and the competitive growth of all things within it were incomparable to faith power.

Especially the beings who have been converted, their minds are transparent, and there are no barriers between them. They can treat each other with sincerity, and the insights they gain from enlightenment can be imparted to others without reservation.

They have no distracting thoughts in their hearts, and wholeheartedly strive for Luo Mo, enhancing their cultivation to shine and radiate.

The Eternal Life Method was very skilled at manipulating things like spiritual thoughts, so when he saw that this small temple had actually used its accumulated faith power to create a Buddha body to block him, Luo Mo directly activated Buddhist techniques and began to seize faith power.

The balance shifted.

The massive Buddha body was shrinking rapidly because its foundation—faith power—was being plundered by Luo Mo, flowing irresistibly towards the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship.

In an ancient temple beneath the massive Buddha body, an old monk, seeing the faith power he had painstakingly accumulated being plundered in this way, twitched his throat and swallowed a mouthful of stagnant blood.

This was the accumulation of countless generations of the temple, but it was lost in his generation. How could he face the past high monks?

"How can Buddhist teachings have the evil of robbing others!"

He roared angrily, and the massive Buddha statue moved accordingly, chanting scriptures.

In an instant, the river of faith power flowing towards the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship was covered with dense scriptures, like fluttering sutra banners, grasped by one hand of the massive Buddha statue, actually taking on a physical form.

The outflow of faith power also stopped, and the old monk breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully.

Thankfully, he had stopped the Buddha's plundering behavior with a secret method, otherwise the temple's accumulation would have been destroyed.

"However, it is just a debate on the Dharma, where does the evil come from?"

Luo Mo flew out, his Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha Dharma Aspect enveloping him, three thousand arms stretched out like jade, rising like gold, possessing both great compassion and great power.

At this moment, three thousand arms stretched out together, like a swarm of dragons leaving their nests, displaying an unparalleled sense of power and beauty, grabbing the river of faith power, imprinting countless Buddhist runes, and intertwining towards the Great Buddha's hand.

At this moment, the river of faith power turned into a celestial silk jade belt, and the old monk's heart skipped a beat.

Because although the Buddha's Thousand-Handed Dharma Aspect was smaller than the Buddha statue he condensed with faith power, it seemed to have a greater sense of power and faintly suppressed his Buddhist teachings.

This was a terrible thing!

You must know that although his temple did not inherit the Amitabha Sutra, it was left behind by a great virtuous Buddha in ancient times. According to common parlance, that was a Great Saint powerhouse, but today, the Buddhist teachings he inherited actually had a feeling of being unable to breathe, just because he felt the Buddha's Thousand-Handed Dharma Aspect.

"Since you have seen the original尊, why do you not worship?"

The Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha Dharma Aspect spoke, the Buddha's voice shaking the sky, spreading far away, passing through the clouds, flying across the earth, the lotus swaying gently, and the Bodhi trembling slightly.

"A perfect Buddha body…"

The old monk murmured, his eyes staring blankly, his pupils reflecting the figure of the Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha Dharma Aspect. The Dharma Aspect of the three thousand arms was an almost perfect carrier of the Buddha's path, as if it should not manifest in the human world, because it was too perfect, it even had a kind of monstrous demonic nature, causing all those who practiced the Buddha's path to be fascinated by it at a glance, unable to extricate themselves.

The old monk was also fascinated. His cultivation was that of a Dao-Slaying King, but he could not resist Luo Mo's Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha Dharma Aspect at all. Just looking at it, his Buddha heart would be lost.

But at this moment, a white bone ball in the old monk's hand flashed slightly, and a cool meaning flowed, instantly sweeping away the image of the Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha in his sea of consciousness.

"!"

The old monk was also shocked by the help he received, and immediately banished all kinds of thoughts from his mind.

"What a terrible power, it can silently and anytime, anywhere affect the mind." The old monk was a little scared. If it wasn't for the Buddha bone relic in his hand, he would have been subdued by the Buddha's Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha Dharma Aspect at this moment, and become a fanatical believer of the Buddha.

"Hoo—"

Luo Mo was also adjusting his breath.

What seemed like a casual understatement just now was actually mobilizing all the power of the Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha Dharma Aspect to suppress the old monk and remotely subdue and convert him.

This was difficult.

The Great Universal Salvation Technique did not have much coercive effect on monks of the same realm. Luo Mo relied on his own Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha Dharma Aspect to forcibly display it.

Unfortunately, it was not successful, and the consumption was extremely high.

His Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha Dharma Aspect was strong, but the consumption was terrifying. If he could not print pure Yang pills like printing money, he would not dare to consume it like this.

Refining pure Yang pills to restore mana with pills, Luo Mo's gaze pierced through layers of obstacles and stared at the old monk.

The old monk sighed, his spine becoming even more hunched.

With just one move, he understood the gap between himself and this Buddha, which could not be measured by reason at all.

Just looking at it would have his spirit subdued. If it wasn't for the Buddha bone relic's help, he would have been converted and become the other party's fanatical believer.

When the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship stopped, it lifted the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss domain, and the monks on it woke up. Before they had time to check how much their divine sense had improved this time, they saw two giant forms.

"Does the Western Desert resist the Buddha so much? Not daring to let him pass?"

"What a big Dharma Aspect, the Buddha's is much smaller."

The Buddha statue in the Western Desert soared into the clouds, tens of thousands of feet high.

Luo Mo's Thousand-Handed Sacred Buddha Dharma Aspect was only three thousand feet high. Although it was very high compared to the nearby mountains, it was not worth mentioning in front of the huge Buddha statue condensed by faith power, not even as high as its knees.

"But I feel that the Buddha is stronger, that is his own power manifested, while the opposite is condensed by the power of faith, which is somewhat mixed."

…

Luo Mo ignored the noise behind him and just said: "I have come to visit the ancient temples of the Western Desert. You are not qualified, clear the way."

"This old monk is stationed in this temple, resisting evil demons from outside, and guarding the gateway to the Western Desert. If you want to go to Mount Sumeru and other ancient temples, please break this old man's subduing demon methods." The old monk's hunched back straightened a bit, and the huge faith power Buddha form seemed to come alive at this moment.

The white bone ball in his hand flew into the Buddha form, as if injecting essence, energy, and spirit into the Buddha form, and a powerful aura swept out in an instant.

Great sound is silent.

The people on the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship seemed to be deaf, only seeing the space outside the treasure ship vibrating violently, the mountains, rivers, grass, trees, clouds, and wind all unchanged. This was a spiritual vibration.

And a layer of Buddha light rose from the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship, constantly trembling, the entire treasure ship shaking, like a lone boat on a stormy ocean.

The treasure ship was not damaged, and it could even defend against spiritual power, so that the people on the treasure ship did not actually experience that terrible power.

But this terrible power was just the prelude to awakening. The huge Buddha form seemed to come alive after having the Buddha bone relic. Although it did not restore its former power, it was not something ordinary people could resist, enough to crush ordinary Saint Kings.

The huge Buddha form lowered its head, an eyeball covering the sky and the sun, piercing through the clouds, overlooking the earth and all living beings.

This terrifying power made people's legs weak. An eyeball covered the sky above their heads, and the eyeball was still turning. When the line of sight swept over the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship, many monks almost knelt down.

Fortunately, this huge eyeball just swept over them and then stared at the Buddha and locked on him.

“Truly, a demon-subduing method.”

The Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance did not retreat in the face of such a behemoth, but instead extended a hand to grab the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship, and shuttled into the depths of this treasure ship.

In the depths of the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship, more than forty Ancestral Kings were chanting scriptures, transmitting all their power to Luo Mo through the arm extended by the Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance.

To immediately manifest the Dharma body in the world with the help of faith power using the Great Saint Buddha Bone Relic, they really think highly of him.

Experts see the details, while laymen can only watch the excitement.

The cultivators on the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship were basically watching the excitement, only Wei Yi and the Ancestral Kings converted by Luo Mo sensed the danger just now. If that old monk hadn't had a treasure to save his life, he would have been completely defeated.

And now, the old monk has awakened the foundation of a temple. Although the Great Saint Buddha Bone Relic contains the essence of a Great Saint's Nirvana, it cannot be used indefinitely, especially requiring a massive amount of faith power as support. Using it this time is equivalent to having no guarantee for a long time in the future, and it must re-accumulate faith power.

Western Desert Buddhism, is this trying to force out the Buddha's trump card from the very beginning!

At this moment, people everywhere are paying attention to the Buddha's entry into the Western Desert. The most convenient and affordable way is to watch in the Great Luo Realm, because the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship comes with a Great Luo Realm signal, and you can connect to the Great Luo Realm on the ship.

Mount Sumeru.

Great Thunderclap Temple.

A gaze was cast over.

Wei Yi raised his head, his turbid eyes colliding with that gaze. The sound of swords clashing actually burst out in the void.

This was a test!

There are experts on Mount Sumeru, also Great Saints, and they noticed Wei Yi, the Great Saint of the Human Race who followed.

The gazes of the two Great Saints of this era collided and clashed in the void, instantly causing a change, like a spark igniting dry firewood.

The Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance and the Relic Buddha Appearance moved at the same time, but in that split second, the Buddha body of the Relic Buddha Statue collapsed again.

A Faith Body?

Luo Mo shook his head, operating the Great Dao, controlling faith power.

The relic, as the core, does indeed have the effect of stabilizing the Faith Body, but Luo Mo now has the assistance of more than forty Ancestral Kings, three of whom are Saint Kings, and his magic power has skyrocketed. Dealing with a dead man's bone is not a difficult task.

Moreover, the Buddhist teachings of the Three Thousand Great Daos are far more profound in their control and application of faith power than the superficial use of the Shrouding Heavens Method. Although Western Desert Buddhism has accumulated faith power, its application is not profound, and there is not much development, completely just to accumulate this resource.

This can be seen from the original work.

They are like setting up a donation box, mostly just depositing money into it, and rarely taking it out to use. They lack research, not as good as the Earth's sects, which at least study the usage.

Especially the current controller of this Faith Body, the old monk in the Cutting Dao King realm, is not worth mentioning to Luo Mo.

The three thousand arms of the Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance were like a pack of dragons preying, pouncing on the Relic Buddha Appearance, tearing off large chunks of the Faith Body, and directly refining the faith power torn from the Relic Buddha Appearance. The Heavenly Dharma Appearance of three thousand hands transformed into a hunting furnace.

How many people have seen such a scene?

For some young monks practicing in temples, this scene is like a mental collapse, the invincible Buddha body is being blasphemed, torn apart, and refined.

“Amitabha…”

The old monk could only recite the Buddha's name, because at this moment, no matter how he controlled it, it was useless, and a strange force had fallen on him.

It didn't hurt him, but the divine thoughts, Buddhist teachings, hand seals, and various ways of controlling the relic that he issued could never reach the relic, allowing the Buddha Bone Relic to receive it.

It was as if an invisible chasm had appeared.

It was as if a pen, he wrote the cause, but the pen blackened all the results, there was a cause but no result, and the order could not be reached.

Even though the Buddha Bone Relic had divine power, the Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance actually displayed a series of secret techniques, trying to refine the Buddha Bone and gain control of the Buddha Bone Relic with a mysterious and unpredictable Buddhist teaching.

And the Buddha Bone Relic seemed to be confused, and was actually willing to be close to the Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance, dividing the Faith Body it controlled bit by bit and handing it over to the other party.

It was not that the Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance was so powerful that it could directly tear apart the Relic Buddha Appearance, but that the Relic Buddha Appearance was actively cooperating.

Wei Yi was stunned.

He originally thought that even if the Buddha was well prepared and had the certainty of victory, he would have to reveal some trump cards.

But he didn't expect the opponent to collapse inexplicably on their own.

“Is this karma?” He pondered secretly, while opening his eyes wide, wanting to see some traces of karma.

Luo Mo was currently operating with all his strength, his body was cracking like porcelain, but it was constantly being repaired. The power of more than forty Ancestral Kings was being continuously transported to him, making his body somewhat unable to bear it.

After all, the Ancestral Kings were also frantically pouring Pure Yang Pills at this moment, and then transmitting power to Luo Mo, allowing him to operate his Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance.

The Great Karma Technique was operating at overclocking speed. There was a cloud of mist in the eyes of the Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance. In the cloud of mist, there were humans, gods, ghosts, demons, kings, marquises, generals, and ministers, with different races and origins, and they were constantly changing. Every living being and every plant had karmic threads connecting them.

This is the Great Karma Technique.

It was precisely by relying on this Three Thousand Great Daos ranked second, and the support of dozens of Ancestral Kings, that Luo Mo was able to influence this Buddha Bone Relic, cut off the old monk's connection with it, distort, and bridge karma, allowing himself to control it.

This Relic Buddha Appearance is very powerful. If they really fought, Luo Mo estimated that he would have to take out Quasi-Emperor weapons or Quasi-Emperor forbidden weapons, or even Emperor weapons.

But the good show is yet to come, why reveal his trump cards now. Although everyone has guessed that he has an Emperor weapon with him, it is meaningless to take it out too early.

The Western Desert is so big, he doesn't believe there are no flaws at all, it's better to find the weakness and give a fatal blow.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort came from a distant place, and the three thousand arms of the Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance, which was refining the relic and the Faith Body, were suddenly shaken open.

Luo Mo was unrelenting and still wanted to refine this Faith Body and Buddha Bone Relic, but this cold snort actually carried a Dao power and injected it into the Buddha Bone Relic.

The Buddha's light shone brightly, the golden body shed its shell.

A sixteen-foot golden body actually broke away from the Faith Body, holding the Buddha Bone Relic, and instantly遁入地下 (dùnrù dìxià -遁入: escape into; 地下: underground) into the ground.

Luo Mo controlled the Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Appearance to intercept, but it was all ineffective. The previous Faith Body was like clay to him, and could be easily shattered, but this sixteen-foot golden body condensed with faith power was incomparably solid, and his three thousand arms could not shake it, and it broke free and disappeared into the ground, without a trace.

The Western Desert is still someone else's territory, and at this moment, like a fish in water, it naturally disappeared without a trace.

The core of faith power.

That was the form condensed by the core of faith power. The faith power on the surface of the Faith Body was easily stripped away by Luo Mo, but Luo Mo could not easily shake this core, the power offered by fanatical believers.

Unless the other party stayed in place and obediently let him refine it.

What a pity.

Luo Mo was not in a hurry, and simply returned all the faith power obtained from tearing apart the Faith Body to the ancient temple on the border of the Western Desert.

He who plans the whole game does not covet one region.

The return of faith power was something the old monk had not expected. In the cultivator world, it was customary to be plundered of spoils if you lost in a fight. He had just received help from the strong on Mount Sumeru, so he had not even had his Buddha Bone Relic taken away.

Now, the other party actually returned even the faith power.

Watching the faith power that had transformed into a rainbow return and pour into the temple, the old monk immediately admitted defeat frankly.

“Amitabha, you have won this round.”

“Want to learn my Buddhist teachings?” Luo Mo asked half-jokingly.

The old monk stepped aside, indicating to make way, and lowered his head and said: “Please, Your Excellency Buddha. My failure is due to my Buddhist teachings not being profound enough. There are thousands of ancient temples in my Western Desert, with profound Buddhist teachings hidden within.”

“Higher than mine?”

The old monk did not take up the conversation, but reached out to welcome the guest, “This old monk dares not speak presumptuously about high or low, Your Excellency must distinguish for yourself, please.”

Luo Mo shook his head slightly, You guys, you will be mine sooner or later.

“Very well, then I will first go to the ancient temple that inherits the Six-Syllable Mantra to see it.”

You must welcome me well.
