When Fang Yanying struck, a thought appeared in her head. She thought that it was impossible for her to have such a strike anymore in her remaining life, that was the one and only chance.

Because she actually contributed very little to this sword.

She could form this star-like dazzling strike was all credited to the training she gain from her uncle-master in this entire journey and her understanding of the sword’s breathing. And of course, the fact that her uncle-master allowed her to take this magical sword along.

If there was no Five Elements Magical Sword and no accumulated experience in this journey, there would definitely no such strike.

She felt as though her entire body was being hollowed out, as though she was floating. She had no energy. On the other hand, sword gleam of the strike was as though it had detached from the universe, escaped from the gravity, ethereal without a trace like an imagination.

The sword already had breathing and even spirit. She was merely the sword’s servant.

This sword technique was indescribably terrifying because the sword was not controlled by a person, the sword was controlling the person instead. If her uncle-master was not around anymore, she would not doubt that this Five Elements Magical Sword had the ability to transform into demons and monsters. It could cultivate itself and make it to the state of celestials.

Despite the fact that the magical sword’s spirituality was perfect without any impurities and it was not affected by the mortal world, it was vague like the stars in Nine Heavens, majestic and aloof, not having the slightest living creature’s emotions.

All the bones quivered, as though they were affected by the intangible rhythms of the universe and instantly turned to dust. When they turned into the insignificant dust, it seemed like the decreased souls gained their freedom and they made a satisfied sigh. Aggregation of their sighs had shaken the ghoul’s mind and spirit.

The ghoul was sitting in the air, shouting the Buddhist chants. The Buddhist chants originated from the Mount Sumeru, affecting the Boundless Universe and the souls of the deceased stopped moving. He raised his palm, as enormous as a mountain, covering the entire sky and the earth and it had shaken the rules of the universe.

Fang Yanying had heard from her honored master discussing supernatural powers on earth and there was this one supernatural power named ‘Mahamudra’, Seal the Giant Palm, by a secret sect. If one trained to the profound level of its essence, there was no escape from it.

This was exactly Seal of the Giant Palm that honored master mentioned. An enormous hand that could block out the sun, was moving at a speed that was beyond Fang Yanying’s knowledge but on the other hand, Fang Yanying could clearly see the palm was coming. The combination of fast and slow speed produced a superb pulling force. The entire Shengguan Temple which as huge as a city instantly collapsed and shattered into dust.

The force directly destroyed the temple’s firm structure.

The ghoul was situated in the void with a face that looked like the hell’s bank note, there was not even the slightest change in his expression.

The sky of stars that were formed from the strike. The sword aura was focused onto the enormous palm. There was no world-shaking explosion when the tip of the sword pierced through the enormous palm, there were only dissipating energy and the deep and quiet universe’s invincible power that shook Fang Yanying’s heart and soul.

Dust fell like a waterfall before her eyes and piled up on the ground.

The monk was after all just one of the ghoul’s hand, all his flesh disappeared, leaving only burnt bones.

Even the power of stars could not burn his bones, but the sword aura could.

The old monk exhibited a posture as though he just woke up from his dream and said, “You’re not alone.”

His eyes were pure and clean like the stars in the sky.

Fang Yanying’s body was shaking, her mana was already being sucked empty whereas this old monk opposite of her only lost one arm. Even with the Five Elements Magical Sword and her everyday cultivation of the meaning of Dharma, it was impossible to defeat this demonized monk.

Fang Yanying kept quiet, she knew that this monk who looked like a demon was right. Although she was the one using the sword, her uncle-master was the persons who launched the attack. On top of that, this magical sword was a living thing, which further amplified the attack.

The old monk did not continue his attack nor further condemn her. Through Fang Yanying, his clear eyes could see the faraway Shen Lian. He smiled, just like Siddhartha Gautama infected Kassapa with his smile. Shen Lian smiled too and nodded his head.

That strike was not meant to kill him but to pierce through the monk’s evil though, to trigger the monk’s inner side of mercy.

The route that Shen Lian had chosen was for a purpose. He already knew in advance that there was a Shengguan Temple here and there was a tyrannical ghoul or senior monk. He came here for the Buddhist sect’s Water Element True Technique.

‘Amrtod’ was formed from the infinite power of the deceased into a ‘dew’ that could make people immortal. It could be considered as Buddhist sect’s water element essence. To form the ‘dew’ would require one technique which was the Rebirth Mantra, and that was the Water Element True Technique yearned by Shen Lian.

Then, the Rebirth Mantra was chanted, the deceased souls which got the power of Rebirth Mantra seemed to be bright and clean, emitting soft glow. They gradually clustered together, it became dense and condensed, just like the soft morning mist, it instantly covered the entire void.

Force of Rebirth Mantra’s flowed, the mist was enlivened and it formed a swirl in the center, the mist-shaped souls of the deceased flew towards the whirlpool. The center of the whirlpool had a black hole which led to reincarnation, it took in the souls one by one. At the same time, it was stripped of the power of rebirth, all the mist condensed to form a drop of dew which lay in the midair while revolving.

The monk said, “Unfortunately I can’t see the udumbara flowers blossom.” Upon finishing his sentence, his body burned in flames. In the end, there was nothing left, there was also nobody who knew his name. He came empty handed and left empty handed too.

Fang Yanying was a little disappointed and also a little envious but she did not know what she was envious about.

“He was trapped here for a long time and today he finally regained his freedom.” Shen Lian’s distant voice was in Fang Yanying’s ears. The drop of dew was revolving and dropped in front of Fang Yanying.

Fang Yanying finally knew what she was envious about. The monk was finally set free, at least he did not have to be restricted in this place.

She looked at the drop of ‘dew’ and spoke with hesitation, “Uncle-master, aren’t you going to keep this?” Since this was Buddhist sect’s drug of immortality, it must be as precious as Daoist’s spiritual elixir. Even if after consuming it one could not be immortal, the person would definitely be able to live for a very long time.

As long as one could live for a sufficiently long time, even a pig would have the chance to break away from whims. After all, it could afford to go through countless times of failures and it would find a solution to this in the end.

There were a lot of hardships in this universe, but the biggest hardship for the living creatures who had not attained immortality was dying. Fang Yanying could actually resist herself when facing this Buddhist sect’s drug of immortality. It was sufficient to prove that she was qualified to be promoted to the celestial’s path.

Shen Lian said casually, “I asked you to go isn’t because I want to have it. Moreover, I already got what I wanted in the first place.”

At his stage, nothing could influence his heart of Dao, even the legendary Daoist Master Taishang’s Nine Transformation Golden Elixir whereby if one had eaten, he would be able to achieve the state of heavenly immortal immediately and transcend beyond the mortal world.

All he needed was the Rebirth Mantra that was the representative of Buddhist sect’s Water Element True Technique.

He headed towards the north, restructured the five elements, the Rebirth Mantra was merely the first target. When the remaining four targets were completed, it would be almost time to be at Mount Zhong.

Then, boundless gold light floated in the sky and most of it fell on Fang Yanying’s body.

Fang Yanying was shocked and moved because gold light was merit. It was the first time she received the power of merit.
