Chapter 289. Patience and immovability like the earth, meditation and profoundness like a secret treasure, the power of Ksitigarbha Buddha (Subscription required)

In Midnight City, inside an abandoned building.

This place is the site of a bankrupt company. Of course, this bankruptcy is not a financial bankruptcy, but the fact that the company was wiped out by a rival company during the [Corporate War].

In this world, for giant corporations, the so-called "business war" has never been a game of conspiracy, collusion, or framing.

That's just childish fun that only happens among people within the company.

For giant companies, they will always choose the simplest and most direct way when facing any company that has the potential to infringe on their interests and is less powerful than themselves.

Without people, there will naturally be no companies and no competitors.

Even so, because this place still has some corporate technology-related things left over, people come here from time to time to look for it, trying to be the lucky one who gets a bargain.

The kids around here grew up hearing stories about how someone found the latest tech products here before a company went bankrupt, and then fought their way back to become an executive at a giant company.

But apparently, until those kids grew up, no one discovered the latest company technology product that was so well hidden but discovered by accident.

Everything of value here had long been taken away by the giant corporations that had taken action. After being searched by scavengers and those looking for treasure, it could be said that even the stones on the ground had been touched more than a hundred times on average.

Not to mention places like sewers, the explorers even found spare parts wrapped in oil paper bags, but still failed to find the legendary treasure.

Although this place is legendary and mysterious, more often than not it is just a dangerous building that adults order children not to approach.

But this is the place. According to the description of Demon No. 1, this is the first stop for these demons to arrive in this world.

"Is this the place? Such a heavy resentment."

Mo Hao looked around the dilapidated building. Although there seemed to be nothing unusual to the naked eye, Mo Hao could clearly see that this place was filled with strong resentment.

Mo Hao had seen resentment before, but he had rarely seen the type in front of him.

It was as thick as a dark cloud covering his head, but without any leakage. Even when he didn't come in, he didn't find any signs of abnormality.

Logically speaking, with the resentment so strong, not to mention the birth of a super beast and the appearance of a red-clothed evil spirit, there would have to be some unusual supernatural phenomena.

But no, apart from the abnormal gathering of resentment, Mo Hao did not find anything unusual in this place.

In addition to what Demon No. 1 said, this is almost the node where demons appear in Midnight City.

Nodes, weak spots in space, or whatever you want to call them.

If you want to open the crack to hell and go to hell to find the two large teams that have lost contact, you can only do it in this place.

In this abandoned building, the demons under Mo Hao's command were preparing the sacrificial array with unprecedented seriousness and care.

They had no choice but to be careful and serious, as all the demons knew very well that if Dr. Yagu's suggestions could not meet their requirements, the great master would definitely perform blood sacrifices on them without hesitation and thus open the road to hell.

There is no need to inquire about this kind of thing specifically, because Mo Hao has no intention of hiding it at all. For him, it is either once or twice to open the road to hell.

Or just perform a blood sacrifice on these demons to open the road to hell.

No matter which method you choose, it will not change the final result.

While the demons were preparing the magic circle, Mo Hao was wandering around the building with nothing to do. Perhaps out of curiosity about the resentment, he began to walk towards the place where the resentment was the strongest.

Many parts of this building have collapsed. Judging from the traces, it must have experienced the baptism of fire. Mo Hao even found the wreckage of a helicopter that crashed into it. It is unknown how intense the [Company War] was at that time.

"Well, this feeling..."

They cleared the completely collapsed roads along the way. As they went deeper and deeper, the resentment had become a substantial interference. Waves of crazy howls turned into violent waves that hit Mo Hao's mind.

If an ordinary person were here, the first wave of mental shock alone would be enough to turn him into a murderer with only the desire to kill in his mind.

Even if one's mental strength is strong enough to withstand one or two attacks, he will gradually be transformed into a murderer over time.

A ferocious ghost king appeared behind Mo Hao. The phantom ghost looked at the resentment and opened his mouth to swallow it into his stomach.

The resentment poured into the ghost's body frantically, attacking it continuously, but it had no way of causing any damage to the body that was harder than steel.

The resentment dyed the surrounding space black, and the man and the ghost seemed to fall into endless darkness.

In this darkness, both humans and ghosts have lost their five senses. Relying on the perception of the dark side of his own soul, Mo Hao can still feel the existence of the phantom ghost, but he is completely unable to observe the phantom ghost with his eyesight.

Mo Hao sat down cross-legged, making hand gestures. As the shadows of Yama, Ksitigarbha and Mingwang appeared behind him to protect him, a round Buddha light began to appear on his body, like a lamp illuminating the night in the boundless darkness.

Be patient and motionless like the earth, meditate deeply like a secret treasure.

In the darkness where there was nothing, Mo Hao actually understood some of the true meaning of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Perhaps [Yama Ksitigarbha] itself is closely related to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, or perhaps Mo Hao himself has a high level of understanding.

Mo Hao was seen interlocking his little fingers and ring fingers, with the tips of his middle fingers facing each other, his index finger pressed on the first section of his middle finger, and his thumbs naturally open, forming a Buddhist hand seal to activate the Buddha power born in his body.

"Om, Prajnaparamita, Suvaha."

Accompanied by the [Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Mantra to Eliminate Fixed Karma], Yama Ksitigarbha opened his three eyes wide and waved his arms to tear apart the darkness.

In an instant, the darkness retreated, and the phantom ghost was still devouring the resentment, but this time the resentment had no intention of resisting.

After the appearance of Yama Ksitigarbha, these resentments were like sheep encountering a Border Collie.

After absorbing all the resentment, Phantom Ghost disappeared again. He needed some time to digest the resentment. As long as he digested it, Phantom Ghost's strength would undoubtedly reach a higher level.

“…No one told me about the power system related to Yama Ksitigarbha. In addition to soul power, there is also Buddha power.”

Don't worry about having too much debt. After having too many things, Mo Hao no longer has the urgent mentality he had at the beginning.

Just like at work where you need to punch in at 8:30, when you open your eyes and see that it is already 8:20, and there is still an hour’s drive from the company, you will not be nervous at that time. Instead, you will feel extremely relaxed.

Because being late is inevitable.
