The monk’s words made Mo Fan’s eyelids twitch violently.
Since this monk appeared, he had already said that sentence twice. The first time was to the tiger demon, and the second time was to Ink Blade.
As a result, the tiger demon died, Ink Blade fled but was chased by the golden lion, and his fate was unknown as well.
This monk’s mouth was like a bloody crow that had been blessed with divine light. Whoever he pointed at ended up finished!
Now such an unlucky thing had come to Mo Fan. How could he not feel horrified?
He immediately frowned and quickly spoke up. “Monk, you must have seen it wrong!”
“Oh?”
The monk paused slightly upon hearing this, then his expression turned serious. He said in a deep voice, “Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“This poor monk has always been skilled in the art of physiognomy. From the first glance at you, Benefactor, I could tell you have deep affinity with our Buddha. How could I possibly be mistaken?!”
Mo Fan’s face twitched. How the hell could you tell that?
If you really could tell, the tiger demon would not have died so miserably!
So having affinity with your Buddha means being sent to meet your Buddha in person?
“This bald… er, great master!”
Mo Fan spoke carefully, choosing his words with caution. After a moment’s thought, he said, “Master, you must understand that this king is a demon king. How could I possibly have any affinity with your Buddha?”
“Amitabha, Benefactor, you do not know. Our Buddha is compassionate. In front of our Buddha, all beings are equal!”
The monk pressed his palms together and chanted a Buddhist name, then added, “Of course, humans and demons are equal as well!”
“…”
What the hell do you mean by humans and demons!
Mo Fan inwardly wanted to curse. He felt this monk had something wrong with his head. But after witnessing the terrifying strength the monk had shown earlier, he still decided to try talking his way out first. If he could avoid fighting, that would be best.
“Master, you do not know. This king has never cultivated good karma in his life. I love killing and arson the most. I often send the little demons on my mountain to the southern border to capture people, just so I can enjoy fresh, warm flesh and blood!
To put it bluntly, this king is already covered in karmic sins. How could I have any affinity with Buddha?”
Mo Fan’s words made the monk’s eyelids twitch. After a brief moment of silence, he spoke again. “In that case, Benefactor, you should convert to our Buddha even more!”
“Bald donkey, did you not hear me clearly?”
“This king has already killed countless people and has not a shred of compassion in his heart. You want to convert a great demon like me?”
Seeing that the monk was stubbornly set on targeting him, Mo Fan could no longer hold back and immediately flared up.
“This poor monk dislikes it the most when others call me a bald donkey!”
Sure enough, the monk’s eyebrow immediately shot up. But then he spoke in a deep voice again. “If Benefactor were a good and kind person, this poor monk might have given up the idea of converting you. But since you are such an evil demon, you must be converted!
Benefactor may not know this. It is difficult for greatly virtuous people to accumulate merit and become Buddhas.
But for greatly evil beings, accumulating merit is easy, and naturally becoming a Buddha is also much easier.
As the saying goes, put down the butcher’s knife and attain Buddhahood on the spot. Benefactor, if you do not awaken now, when will you?”
As soon as the monk finished speaking, golden lotuses bloomed from his mouth. Those lotuses transformed into streaks of golden runes that flew straight towards Mo Fan’s forehead, as if they wanted to forcibly convert him.
“Become a Buddha, my arse!”
“Dead bald donkey, get the hell away from this king!”
Mo Fan cursed furiously in a low voice. He immediately circulated the Heavenly Foothill Divine Derivation Art. Vast divine sense surged out of his body and transformed into a divine sense golden bell in the void.
Dong!!
The divine sense golden bell shook violently. It erupted with a resounding boom like a great bell in the void, exploding directly in the hearts of all the cultivators present!
This sound seemed to echo straight from the depths of the soul!
As the divine sense golden bell vibrated, waves of golden ripples spread outward, instantly shattering the approaching golden runes into pieces.
“Hmm?”
A trace of surprise appeared on the monk’s face. But then he smiled slightly and said in a loud voice, “Benefactor truly deserves to be someone with affinity for our Buddha. Even your divine sense is so extraordinary!”
“However, this poor monk advises Benefactor not to struggle anymore. Obediently convert to our Buddha and become a Dharma protector for our Buddhist sect. There will surely be a place for you at the foot of our Western Heaven Spirit Mountain!”
As the monk’s words rang out, the Buddhist light on his body grew even more intense. With a single step forward, a golden world unfolded around him.
This was a world formed entirely of endless Buddhist light. Within this world, countless golden figures sat cross-legged everywhere. When Mo Fan looked closely, he realised that every single golden figure was identical to the monk, as if they were endless clones floating and sinking within the golden world.
The moment this world formed, Mo Fan was already deeply trapped inside it.
“Benefactor, do not panic. This is this poor monk’s domain. This poor monk calls it the World of All Buddhas!”
“Now let this poor monk convert you!”
“Once you take refuge in our Buddha, there will be no more suffering, no more joy or sorrow. Only when the four great elements are empty can one attain enlightenment and become a Buddha!”
The monk gave a slight smile, then pressed his palms together and began to chant scriptures.
As the monk chanted, all the golden figures in the World of All Buddhas began chanting scriptures in unison. Endless golden Buddhist light transformed into golden lotuses, which then turned into complex runes that surged towards Mo Fan.
“What a terrifying mental assault technique!”
The scene before him made Mo Fan’s scalp tingle. This monk was too dreadful. His so-called conversion was nothing but a vast and overwhelming mental assault technique.
Its target pointed straight at the depths of Mo Fan’s sea of consciousness!
He absolutely could not let this old bald donkey succeed!
Mo Fan’s heart was filled with shock and fury. He immediately went all out, frantically circulating the mental assault chapter of the Heavenly Foothill Divine Derivation Art. Vast divine sense poured into the golden bell in the void, making it grow even larger. It kept ringing, sending endless ripples surging outward like tidal waves.
However, within this domain, Mo Fan was simply no match for the monk.
If Mo Fan’s divine sense golden bell was like a tidal wave crashing forward, then the monk’s conversion golden lotuses were like an earthquake or a tsunami, vast and unstoppable.
In merely an instant, the divine sense golden bell shattered in mid-air and exploded!
“Pfft!”
Once the mental assault technique was broken, Mo Fan immediately suffered backlash. His head felt as if it had been struck hard by a giant hammer. His throat turned sweet, and he spat out a large mouthful of reverse blood.
“Damn it!”
Mo Fan gritted his teeth. He was about to activate his Nether Ghost Body and use the Nether Ghost Flame to resist the terrifying power of those golden lotuses.
Whoosh…
Suddenly, the golden Buddhist light was split in two by a blinding golden flame!
A hunched figure instantly appeared in front of Mo Fan. With a casual swing of her sword, endless seven-coloured light soared into the sky, turning all the approaching golden lotuses into dust.
“You dare intrude into my Phoenix Cry Mountain demon domain and forcibly attack this old woman’s grandson? You really do not take this old woman seriously at all!”
Granny Sparrow held her immortal sword. Her aura surged powerfully. Her gaze was ice-cold as she stared at the monk opposite her.
She stood in front of Mo Fan. Her seven-coloured domain enveloped a hundred zhang around them. Her sword intent soared to the heavens, like a divine sword unsheathed!
“Granny, be careful. This old bald donkey is very strange. He is extremely skilled in mental assault techniques!”
Seeing Granny Sparrow arrive, Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief. But he quickly spoke up again to warn her.
“Do not worry. Granny knows what she is doing!”
Granny Sparrow nodded. Then with a wave of her hand, seven-coloured light enveloped Mo Fan, attempting to send him out of this shattered World of All Buddhas.
But at that moment, the World of All Buddhas that had just been sliced apart by her sword suddenly healed again, trapping both grandmother and grandson inside.
“Amitabha!”
“A peacock at the early Ancestral Realm. Quite rare indeed!”
The monk looked at Granny Sparrow. A glint of light flashed in his eyes. Then he smiled and said, “In the scriptures of our Western Heaven, it is recorded that in ancient times when a Buddha appeared, he subdued the mother of peacocks and bestowed upon her the title of Peacock Great Bright King!
Since your true form is also a peacock, then you too have affinity with our Buddha!
Therefore, this poor monk will convert both grandmother and grandson together!
Our Buddha is compassionate. This way, you will have each other as companions!”
