Yinshan Record

Chapter 180 Permutations and Combinations
The Yin-Yang Dharma King effortlessly stopped the three of them. As a descendant of the ancient Black Emperor, he had experienced countless life-or-death battles.

Compared to those from back then, the three people in front of them are indeed not worth mentioning.

Quick fight.

With a flick of his long sleeves, the Yin-Yang Dharma King unleashed a chorus of ghostly howls, as countless yin spirits roared forth from his sleeves. A celestial flame condensed into a canopy, upon which emerged mountains, rivers, plants, birds, beasts, insects, and fish.

The Azure Primordial Sky-Burning Umbrella was a treasure crafted by the ancient Black Emperor specifically for the Yin-Yang Dharma King. He usually hung this treasure high above Guobei County, partly to continuously attract the power of the moonlight, and partly to keep it unused, using it as a memorial to his deceased friends.

Today, he retrieved it as well, and layers of emerald flames surged back. The Yin-Yang Dharma King left no one behind, using the power of the moonlight as fuel to unleash a fire that could burn immortals above this great hall.

"Mulian and Yuwen Rui, to die under this umbrella, you can be considered to have died a worthy death."

"Namo Buddha".

The fire raged fiercely. Monk Mulian clasped his hands together and chanted Buddhist mantras. Behind him, amidst the Buddha's light that was occupied by a group of hungry ghosts, came bursts of Sanskrit chants.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, Namo Amitabha Buddha, Namo Amitabha Buddha..."

"If I don't fall into the realm of hungry ghosts, who will save sentient beings?"

Master Mulan's eyes burst open, golden blood spurting from them. He extended a finger, using his eye socket as an inkstone and the study of gold as ink, walking alone in the Yin-Yang realm.

"Have you had enough hugs?"

Yunluo's voice rang out beside Su Che. The young master of the dragon clan had appeared beside them at some point, and ripples spread around him. Dense water-attribute spiritual power transformed into a light shield, protecting Su Che and the other two within it.

"This was left behind by the ancient Azure Emperor Lingwei Yang, we can't just give it to you like this..."

Bai Hejiao reached out and took the beast-mouth lamp from Su Che's hand, smiling broadly.

"You all need to get out of here right now. A major incident is about to happen."

Big scene?
Su Che looked around.

Yuwen Rui, the Grand Tutor of Northern Wei, looked expectant, while Yun Luo had a somber expression.

However, none of their eyes were fixed on the invincible Yin-Yang Dharma King; instead, they were firmly fixed on Master Mulian.

"...The past mind cannot be grasped, the present mind cannot be grasped, the future mind cannot be grasped..."

A strange sensation appeared in Su Che's sea of ​​consciousness.

This feeling.

Behind Master Mulan, three Buddha statues gradually appeared amidst the magnificent scenery.

“The Buddhist sect has a fundamental supernatural power called the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This is not only a supernatural power, but also a magic treasure that they rely on as their foundation.” Bai Hejiao stood close to Su Che: “The so-called six paths are Heaven, Asura, Human, Animal, Hungry Ghost, and Hell. In each of these six paths, there are three ancient Buddhas whose cultivation is equivalent to the second rank of the Xuanmen sect, who are in charge.”

"Once you encounter this magic weapon, it's like fighting eighteen ancient Buddhas at the same time. No matter how many Taoist techniques or myriad transformations you have, you'll still get ganged up on by these bald monks."

"Among them, those who sit in the realm of hungry ghosts are the so-called Dharma-bright Tathagata, Ratnasambhava Tathagata, and Good Virtue Tathagata. These three are based on the Pure Land of Immaculate Light and subdue all kinds of heretics in the realm of hungry ghosts with so-called great compassion and great wisdom."

Bai Hejiao's hands were tightly wrapped around Su Che's shoulders.

“Acher, you’re in for a treat. Our Venerable Mulan has given up his supernatural powers from past lives and is going to use himself as a key to open a door for these three ancient Buddhas in this Yin-Yang realm.”

Buddhism?

It's said that Master Mulan coveted the Yin-Yang Dharma Realm in order to attain immortality, so how did it involve other matters?

A single chant resonated throughout the realms of Yin and Yang, reaching all corners of the world.

"Mulan, you wrote scriptures in blood and offered your eyes to Buddha. What wish do you make?"

"World Honored One, I was born in this defiled world. The people of the Central Plains are stubborn and difficult to transform. They do not follow the right path and do not have right faith. I wish to use my supernatural powers from past lives to ask the Buddha to manifest in the Central Plains, teach the people, ensure the Dharma remains forever, and bring peace and prosperity to the country."

"That's good, that's good."

The voice was deep and powerful, revealing boundless compassion.

"Namo Ratnasambhava Tathagata, Namo Sudatta Tathagata, Namo Dharmadhatu Tathagata," Venerable Mulan said, his hands clasped together, his figure visibly diminishing. "This disciple respectfully requests that the World-Honored One remain in the Central Plains to guide sentient beings."

See the picture poorly.

Three immense magical powers rose from Master Mulian's body, reversing the flow of the Yin-Yang Dharma King's Azure Flame.

The simultaneous attack of three second-rank Buddhist masters, even though they were still far away, was something that the Yin-Yang Dharma King could not withstand.

"This……"

Su Che swallowed hard.

The entire Yin-Yang realm trembled. Amidst the overwhelming magical power, the ground beneath his feet felt like a small boat about to capsize in a raging storm. Had it not been for Yunluo's magical support, he would have been torn to shreds.

“Xuandu Palace has a rule that magic power of grade three or above cannot be manifested in the Central Plains. But this Yin-Yang Realm is a separate realm, so can it be considered part of the Central Plains?”

Bai Hejiao slowly said, "By using the Yin-Yang realm as a platform for the hungry ghost realm and inviting the three ancient Buddhas to oversee it, the way the West eats may not be pretty, but it is indeed effective."

now.

Master Mulan is withering away, dying, or rather, entering Nirvana at an incredibly rapid pace.

Even the blessings of the three Pure Land Immaculate Light lineage Buddhas could not stop his death.

This veteran fourth-rank expert sacrificed himself, becoming the anchor for the arrival of three ancient Buddhas of Buddhism in this world.

The Yin-Yang Dharma King felt the strain.

Although he has lived through countless ages and can be considered the foremost fourth-rank figure in the world today, the Yin-Yang Dharma King is simply powerless against the three ancient Buddhas who reside in the Hungry Ghost Realm.

Under the vast, pure light of the Pure Land, he could barely control his magical power.

Human strength has its limits, but the way of Heaven has its own predetermined order.

Suddenly, a sentence flashed through the Yin-Yang Dharma King's mind. This was what the Black Emperor had said to him before his fall.

Was all my tolerance over the years ultimately in vain?

Unfortunately, there are still six days of Yin ritual...

In the void, an ancient Buddha sat on a white lotus. He was sixteen feet tall, and a treasure bottle was hidden in the fleshy protuberance on his head.

When this Buddha appeared in the world, the earth shook.

Good Virtue Tathagata.

Among the three Pure Land Tathagatas of the Hungry Ghost Realm, he was the first to cross the layers of void and appear in the Yin-Yang Realm with his overwhelming magical power.

He stretched out his arms, and a vast Buddhist light emanated from above the head of the Yin-Yang Dharma King.

"I hereby bestow upon you the prediction that you will become a Buddha in hundreds of millions of years to come, and your name will be..."

Are you trying to "convert" me?
Pure Land Immaculate Light is the most harmless yet most domineering of the nine fundamental Buddha lights. Once captured by the user of this Buddha light, one can be "converted" by the other party using Buddhist secret methods, losing one's freedom and wholeheartedly serving the Buddha of that deity.

senior.

Unexpectedly, the Yin-Yang Dharma King could only pin his hopes on the senior he had met not long ago.

With this person's extraordinary magical power, he can surely help me escape this predicament.

for sure.

With a long howl, a vast sword aura pierced through the void beyond the Yin-Yang boundary, heading straight for the front of the hall. Amidst the heavy ghostly howls, the Xuanming sword aura cleaved through layers of Buddhist light, actually causing the Tathagata of Benevolence to withdraw his attack.

This person was dressed in black, and a dark light shone in his eyes.

"If you want to seize this Yin-Yang Dharma Realm, have you even asked my Beimang Ghost Ancestor Palace?"
