What on earth?
At this moment, Yu Ci's mind was finally clearing up a bit. He vaguely felt that the sudden shock had something to do with the "Iceberg" in his mind. As for Separate Consciousness and Thoughts, he was unclear, but he was no fool. Seeing the posture of Shan Jiao and Incense Slave, he guessed and speculated, and roughly figured it out, immediately inhaling sharply:
"Xuan Yin Immortal?"
As is well known, the so-called Xuan Yin Immortal is actually one of the Separate Consciousness and Thoughts of the Divine Leader of the East Sea Rakshasa Sect, used as a front to establish a sect in this remote place for convenience in their actions. In fact, Yu Ci didn't quite understand what "Separate Consciousness and Thoughts" meant, only knowing that it was a top-level divine power, and it was said that even at the Earth Immortal level, there were not many who understood it.
Gan Shi Zhen, who was on the side, glanced at him and shook her head slightly: "No, it's not Xuan Yin Immortal herself. The Separate Consciousness and Thoughts of the legendary God Lord, which is also at the level of Minor Tribulation, is still a bit lacking at present, it should be the projection of Separate Consciousness and Thoughts."
"That's still incredible."
Yu Ci looked up at the sky, murmuring to himself.
At this time, the "Eighteen Dark Demons Wheel Formation" had already turned to ashes. Without pressure, he could see the figure under the silver-grey light more clearly.
In fact, as long as one was not blind, everyone within dozens of miles could see the huge figure. It felt that this Separate Consciousness and Thoughts projection was slightly smaller than Monk Yi Xin's Golden Body of the Amritakundalin. The silver-grey light flowed, revealing a face as smooth as porcelain, soft and handsome. Despite its massive size, it felt androgynous. The slightly elongated eyes had flames that were sometimes bright and sometimes extinguished. When bright, the light pierced the night sky, sharp as a knife, leaving a series of ripples in its wake, as if unstable.
Compared with the Separate Consciousness and Thoughts projection, the Golden Body of the Amritakundalin was still wrapped in fierce golden light, with eight hands spread out, Black Flames moving around it like spiritual snakes. The momentum was not reduced, but for some reason, it felt somewhat inferior to the one on the opposite side, especially in terms of interaction with the void, the difference was even more apparent.
"You said it's a bit worse than Minor Tribulation Tribulated?" Below Minor Tribulation Tribulated is Taoism Immortal, and Monk Yi Xin is now at the Cultivation Level of Taoism Immortal, but why is the difference so big?
"That's not how it's calculated."
With the destruction of the evil method, Gan Shi Zhen was much more relaxed. Hearing Yu Ci's words, she smiled: "Cultivation Level is one aspect, but the power of the God Lord carried by Separate Consciousness and Thoughts cannot be ignored. That one, after all, is one of the top figures in this world. It is said that she can create illusions with a single glance, and cause death with another. Ordinary people, under her gaze, are half alive and half dead, it all depends on their fate."
As she spoke, her expression turned serious. Yu Ci understood, Old Daoist Yu Zhou had mentioned during their discussions about the taboos of this world, that when it came to the level of the God Lord, one must harbor a heart of respect. Gan Shi Zhen had set a good example of this.
However, cultivating such a "reverent" mindset would take a considerable amount of time. Yu Ci, for the moment, couldn't muster it. He simply looked up at the sky and said, "So, Monk Yi Xin is in trouble?"
No sooner had his words fallen, than the projection of Separate Consciousness and Thoughts made no visible move. The sky flickered like a silver cloak, the world alternating between light and dark. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as though the entire sky was trembling. The flames and golden light surrounding the Golden Body of the Amritakundalin, which had been so dazzling previously, now seemed as though they were being twisted and distorted by some unseen force.
The Golden Body of the Amritakundalin roared in anger, its eight long arms swinging and unleashing thick golden arrows of light, flying like thunderbolts. Each one was as thick as a human waist, aimed at the projection of Separate Consciousness and Thoughts, causing a thunderous noise. However, halfway through their flight, they vanished into the night sky, like a poorly executed farce.
However, one stray arrow hit the edge of the city. The onlookers saw a ten-meter-high city wall pierced by the golden light, which immediately collapsed, followed by a surge of fire that lit up half of the night sky, and a hot wind swept through half of the city.
"Such a method of warfare," Gan Shi Zhen lightly brushed her hair that had been blown messy by the hot wind, her gaze fell on Shan Jiao who had just finished her salute, "The God Lord Separate Consciousness and Thoughts of your sect was invited by Master Ming, wasn't he?"
"Indeed, it was Master Ming's doing."
Shan Jiao's cultivation level was merely at the Nature-Connecting Upper Stage, and she had not made any notable achievements before, but because of the projection of Separate Consciousness and Thoughts in the sky, her pretty face was filled with pride. "Her reverent heart moved the upper realm, and was enlightened by the God Lord, achieving the true fruit, and will go to the Realm beyond illusion. Now that her mortal body has been completely transformed, she has become a Divine Servant, and can naturally invite the Immortal Separate Consciousness and Thoughts from the sect to eliminate Karmic Obstacles!"
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Only Gan Shi Zhen, who had lived in the northern three-lake region for many years and had a good understanding of the powerful neighbor Rakshasa Sect, could fully understand Shan Jiao's words. She pondered for a moment, then sighed, "I see, by borrowing the power of the God Lord to wash away the flesh body and elevate the Divine Soul, one can indeed become a Divine Servant. As long as the God Lord exists, one can achieve immortality. But this requires wholehearted devotion to the God Lord, losing one's self completely. It's not easy to find fault with this Master Ming. It's quite difficult indeed."
Shan Jiao responded with a solemn bow, "Master Ming's heart is full of devout sincerity, flawless and evident to all. We, her disciples, deeply admire her."
There was a hint of discordance here. Gan Shi Zhen, a traditional practitioner, didn't quite agree with this method of Immortality that seemed to forsake the self. However, it was not appropriate to voice such disagreement at the moment. Instead, she asked, "How long can Master Ming maintain her unity with the Dharmakaya?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she knew she had asked the wrong person. Shan Jiao could only stare in return, speechless.
Gan Shi Zhen shook her head, "The Buddhist teachings of the Golden Body are renowned for their indestructibility and resilience. I hope Master Ming can quickly resolve this. The citizens can't endure for too long."
"The Divine Servant's body can transform into the Separate Consciousness and Thoughts dharma form, which can be sustained for thirty breaths."
This unexpected remark caught Yu Ci by surprise. The speaker was none other than Incense Slave, the carriage driver who was also a Golden Elixir Cultivator. For some reason, she had taken an interest in speaking, though her words were somewhat indistinct.
Gan Shi Zhen cast a surprised glance at her, her elegant eyebrows furrowed, "Thirty breaths are almost up!"
A high-pitched hiss echoed from above. The Separate Consciousness and Thoughts, unnoticed, had raised a hand. A crescent-like arc of light tore through the sky, creating a wind pressure trace a thousand feet long and still extending. From the ground, it looked like an endless line pushing forward.
The Golden Body of the Amritakundalin wanted to dodge, but as its massive body moved, a very strange vibration filled the void around it. Then, people saw the hundred-feet-tall Golden Body of the Amritakundalin leap upwards, only for the void to roll and churn, causing a great disturbance, yet it remained in place, not moving an inch!
What kind of joke was this? The people on the ground nearly popped their eyes out. Was this the time for monkey tricks?
As this absurd thought arose, the arc of light flashed again, splitting the fiery golden light and the hundred-feet Golden Body into two!
"Good!"
Hu Dan couldn't help but cheer. Although the others didn't vocalize, their expressions mirrored his excitement. Only then did they understand that the previous vibration of the void was actually a sophisticated illusion technique by the Rakshasa Sect, which had disrupted the judgment of the Golden Body of the Amritakundalin, trapping it in place to take a hit.
Only at this moment did people hear the piercing scream of the air being compressed. The sky full of fiery clouds seemed to be driven by an invisible hand, rolling and pushing towards the distance.
"The disparity in the level of Divine Intent Transformation between the two sides is too great."
Gan Shi Zhen exhaled lightly. Divine Intent Transformation was the fundamental basis of cultivation and the highest realm of practice. As a cultivator of her level, Gan Shi Zhen was most sensitive to its mysteries. "It's a complete suppression. It's probably borrowing the intent of an Immortal. However, the Golden Body of the Amritakundalin won't be so easily destroyed!"
"Is that so?"
Yu Ci squinted his eyes towards the sky, quickly realizing the formidable strength of the female cultivator. The Golden Body that had been sliced in half, its lower part dissolving into light and scattering, while the upper half shone brilliantly. Three dark holes on the head surged with a blood-red light. In the next moment, this light morphed into a flying spear, retaliating with a swift counterattack.
However, the disparity was still evident. With a wave of its hand, the Separate Consciousness and Thoughts projection caused the blood-red spear to instantly disintegrate. It was clear to all that in this colossal and incredible battle between the Separate Consciousness and Thoughts and the Golden Body, the Immortal Separate Consciousness and Thoughts held the absolute upper hand. Victory was within reach!
Amidst this tense atmosphere, Gan Shi Zhen suddenly raised her voice, "End this quickly!"
But it was too late! Before her words fell, a silvery fog diffused from the projection of the Separate Consciousness and Thoughts.
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the silver robe that obscured the sky vanished into thin air. The sharp light in the narrow eyes also extinguished. Then, from the forehead of the colossal Separate Consciousness and Thoughts projection, a cluster of silvery light separated, flickering uncertainly.
Monk Yi Xin, who had been silent for a long time, burst into laughter. The intensity of the fiery golden light outside the Golden Body of the Amritakundalin abruptly escalated.
"Dreadful!"
"How could this be?"
"What should we do now?"
Such dramatic ups and downs left even the usually calm Golden Elixir cultivators flustered. They all turned to look at Gan Shi Zhen, only to see the female cultivator and Yu Ci beside her, both looking up at the sky in a daze.
People unconsciously followed their gaze into the distance, where in the endless night sky, a point of light was twinkling. At first, its color was hard to discern, but as the light grew brighter, a deep blue hue joined the colors of the night sky.
The light trailed a tail, but there was not a hint of curvature, straight as a sword, piercing downwards!
Its target was the Golden Body of the Amritakundalin.
How could this escape Yi Xin's notice? With a roar, the still intact Golden Body formed a seal with two of its eight arms across its chest, while the arm holding the Vajra Scepter reached out to meet the blue light.
Yu Ci's heart pounded wildly, his gaze momentarily diverted from the critical point, sweeping the surrounding void. As expected, he saw He Qing, who had been "invisible" for a long time.
The female cultivator's delicate face was also illuminated by a deep blue light, her eyes cold and chilling to the bone.
"Xing Tian's Magic Sword, strike!"
************
He Qing revealed her trump card. Can anyone guess where this thing came from?
