Wu Shattered Star River

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”

In the northwest of Asura Hell, there is a large mountain, and the mountain is covered with demons and monsters.

Two figures are frantically slaughtering inside.

Both of them are in terrible condition.

One's armor is broken, and his body is covered in scratches and wounds.

The other is a handsome young man whose armor is not broken, but his eyes are bloodshot, and his face is twisted and ferocious.

He swings a sword and frantically chops at the nearby demons, looking like a madman.

These two are naturally Celestial Emperor Tianmo and Zhang Xiongyi!

The reason they are still alive is partly because Celestial Emperor Tianmo is powerful, and partly because Zhang Xiongyi has many treasures.

Despite this, they feel like they are running out of steam.

Zhang Xiongyi's mental state is very poor.

Celestial Emperor Tianmo has experienced many things and has a strong mind, but he is too seriously injured.

After fighting fiercely for so long, he has not had time to heal, and his mind is about to give out.

“Your Highness, stop killing, let's go!”

After killing a few more monsters, Celestial Emperor Tianmo forced himself to calm down, grabbed Zhang Xiongyi, and flew away rapidly with him.

They broke through and flew away at high speed.

Zhang Xiongyi was still roaring and constantly waving his long knife.

Seeing this situation, Celestial Emperor Tianmo directly slapped Zhang Xiongyi on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

After flying tens of thousands of miles, Celestial Emperor Tianmo suddenly stopped, a look of ecstasy in his eyes.

He saw a ray of golden light at the entrance of a cave in front of him.

This golden light was extremely dazzling and brilliant.

He rubbed his eyes to make sure that the golden light was not an illusion.

He took out a pill and gave it to Zhang Xiongyi, then sat down on the spot to heal his injuries.

After a while, Zhang Xiongyi woke up.

His eyes were still very dazed, and he glanced around.

He quickly discovered the golden shimmering cave.

He blinked and muttered, “Am I hallucinating?”

“No!”

Celestial Emperor Tianmo said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, this is very likely to be the exit passage.

However, it is a bit strange that there are no powerful demons guarding this passage.

Wait for me for a while, and we will go in after my injuries have recovered a bit.”

“The exit passage?”

Zhang Xiongyi's face showed a look of ecstasy, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.

His breathing became rapid, and he kept looking at Celestial Emperor Tianmo, somewhat impatiently.

Celestial Emperor Tianmo healed for two hours, and his injuries recovered more than half.

He couldn't sit still either, because demons and monsters were gathering nearby, and Zhang Xiongyi had already killed quite a few.

“Let's go!”

He took Zhang Xiongyi and rushed into the cave.

A white light flashed, and they felt like they were traveling in a space-time tunnel.

The two became more and more excited.

Since it was a space-time tunnel, it must be leaving Asura Hell.

“Bang!”

After an unknown amount of time, the two crashed into a black sea.

Zhang Xiongyi was a little dizzy from the teleportation, so he choked on a few mouthfuls of seawater as soon as he came down.

“Pui, pui, pui!”

He felt like he had drunk the most bitter water in the world.

He kept vomiting, almost throwing up his bile.

He floated to the surface, looked around a few times, and asked, “Uncle Mo, where is this?

Why do I feel like we haven't left Asura Hell?”

“I don't know!”

Celestial Emperor Tianmo shook his head and said, “However, it feels like there are no living beings here, at least better than Asura Hell!”

Celestial Emperor Tianmo flew up, but was suppressed by a powerful gravity.

The place they arrived at was actually the sea where Jiang Han was.

They tried it, and just like Jiang Han, they could only swim here and couldn't fly.

“Let's swim for a while first!”

After trying for a while, Celestial Emperor Tianmo led Zhang Xiongyi forward, but they were heading east instead of north.

… …

“Huh?”

In the east of Asura Hell, a little nun in white broke out from a group of demons.

She saw a golden light in the northwest, and she flew over in surprise, also seeing a cave shining with golden light.

Her beautiful eyes flickered a few times, and she slowly approached the golden light.

Many demons were gathering at the entrance of this cave, but fortunately, there were no Emperor-level demons.

Xuanji looked from afar for a few moments, then closed her eyes and silently chanted Buddhist scriptures.

After a while, she rushed towards the cave.

She held a jade bottle in her hand, as well as a willow branch.

She waved the willow branch to swat away the demons, and with a flash, she rushed into the cave.

Like Jiang Han, Celestial Emperor Tianmo, and Zhang Xiongyi, after rushing into the cave, she fell into the black sea.

She didn't choke on water.

She glanced around, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Then, she seemed to remember something, scooped up some seawater, and took a sip.

“Ugh…”

She didn't retch, and even swallowed the seawater, but her expression was very uncomfortable.

Her eyes became even more confused, and she murmured, “Amitabha, has this poor nun actually arrived at the real Sea of Bitterness?

If it is the Sea of Bitterness, then where is the other shore?”

“Entering Asura Hell, yet trapped in the Sea of Bitterness, my tribulation has indeed come!”

Xuanji continued to murmur, “Without crossing the Sea of Bitterness, one will be forever沉沦(chénlún - sink into oblivion).

Crossing the Sea of Bitterness, reaching the other shore, one can become a Buddha on the spot!”

Xuanji murmured a few words, then stopped speaking and swam in the sea.

She didn't even try to fly, but directly swam forward, but she was heading west.

… …

“Splash!”

In a sea area of the Sea of Bitterness, a figure flashed out.

After he came out, he hovered in mid-air, but as soon as he moved, he was suppressed by a powerful force and fell into the sea.

However, he was powerful and reacted quickly, so he didn't choke on water.

His white hair was wet and stuck to his old, bark-like face.

He looked around and murmured, “Is the young master inside?

Hmm… So many light gates suddenly appeared in Asura Hell.

If the young master finds out, he will definitely come in, he must be inside!”

Like Tianmo, Tianyuan looked around and tried to fly and dive, but in the end, he couldn't fly either, and could only swim forward with all his might.

However, he was heading south…

… …

Twenty days later!

Just like Jiang Han, Zhang Xiongyi, Tianmo, and Xuanji all saw a light appearing in front of them.

This light excited everyone except Xuanji, thinking they had seen the other shore, thinking they would be able to go ashore soon.

“The Buddha's lamp shines brightly, but the other shore is difficult to reach!”

Xuanji saw the light, but was not too excited.

Her expression was unusually calm, with a hint of solemnity.

She had studied Buddhist scriptures since she was a child.

The Shurangama Sutra clearly states that seeing the Buddha's lamp does not mean that one can cross the Sea of Bitterness and reach the other shore.

If one does not find the right path, one may be trapped in the Sea of Bitterness for a lifetime, never able to go ashore.

She also knew that the Sea of Bitterness was not dangerous, but the Sea of Bitterness itself was the greatest danger.

Because this sea not only traps people's bodies, but also traps people's minds.

Without breaking free from the shackles of the mind, one will be swimming in the Sea of Bitterness for a lifetime.

To cross the physical body, one must first cross the mind.

To become a Buddha, one must first ask the heart.

“Amitabha!”

Xuanji closed her eyes and stopped looking at the light in front of her.

She also closed her six senses, plunging herself into boundless darkness.

She swam forward slowly, but with unusual determination.

She was very clear about one thing.

Traveling in the Sea of Bitterness is not a matter of a day or two, and slow or fast does not matter.

Only by freeing oneself from the shackles of the mind can the other shore be in sight.

If one cannot break free, one will be trapped in the Sea of Bitterness forever.

Crossing the Sea of Bitterness is equivalent to passing the tribulation of the heart!
