Chapter 215: Subduing the Forbidden

Chapter 215: Subduing the Forbidden

Hanging Monastery of Ten Thousand Temples, the Buddha light spreads like an ocean, forming a Buddhist kingdom in the sky, a success achieved by the Hanging Monastery over countless years. Within, ten thousand Buddhas sit in meditation, known as the Ten Thousand Buddha Array.

However, on this day, their enemy is a true Battle Buddha.

A white lotus blooms with thirty-two petals, each containing infinite Zen intent, from which emerges a towering Battle Buddha with three heads and six arms, untainted by impurity, unbound by birth and death, its Dharma form supporting an infinite universe. Every pore and organ of its body evolves into a cosmic landscape, with scenes of the sun and moon, raging storms, lush mountains, vast seas, and even celestial wonders...

Each pore and organ has a "divine being" residing within, radiating beams of pure light, forming a crystal clear Buddhist kingdom.

This is the Inner Universe!

Li Jingqiu gains a sudden enlightenment, as if seeing the path he must take in the future.

To evolve the Inner Universe to its utmost, indistinguishable from the outer universe, absorbing the power of the cosmos, and surpassing all sentient beings. This night, he witnesses the Old Monkey breaking through the ten thousand temples, destroying countless Buddhas, and opening up the sole sacred land in the Hanging Monastery. At the onset of the Great Calamity, the Hanging Monastery is raised high, sheltering millions upon millions of sentient beings.

From seeking passage through the Hanging Monastery to traversing the entire Houtu and saving all those who can be saved.

The two individuals standing before him have both stepped into the Forbidden Sequence.

In a book, on page 169, there is a mistake in the version!

[Unbelievable, a mere mortal dares to borrow the Dharma Body technique, ascending to the heavens in one step, falling just short of the Supreme Fruit position. No, it can only go this far!]



The surging Yin energy still hasn't broken through the ten-meter barrier in front of Li Jingqiu.

"Did someone send you to find us?" The woman smiles, "It seems the messenger isn't Ji Anquan, as he wouldn't be so bold. Is there another young Supreme in the Yanhuang Alliance? Otherwise, who would dare to be so presumptuous?"

This includes the origin of this ancient path, the so-called Forbidden Sequence, and why this sacred site opened early, as well as why it found him immediately after he entered.

Led by the guardian warrior, the two head towards a specific location within the Hanging Monastery.

[Listen carefully, if the Great Universe is a tree, then the countless attached universe planes are like the branches and fruits of this tree. Houtu, on the other hand, is like a fruit that fell from the tree, taking root in the soil, and carving its own path, becoming the final barrier of the Great Universe.]



Suddenly, both of them tremble, realizing a possibility, and blurt out: "The legacy site! He must have entered the legacy site of the Hanging Monastery and is currently receiving the inheritance!"

In the final moments.

"Why think so much? If it's another Forbidden, we'll work together to stop him." The young man speaks.

Li Jingqiu instinctively reaches out, and behind him, the Bodhi's pure light intensifies. This time, he touches not an illusion but a... strand of hair! Even the Old Monkey is startled, not expecting such a twist, and bursts into laughter before disappearing.

The remnants of the divine consciousness transform into the will of the ancient path, maintaining the operation, but ten thousand years ago, a demonic incarnation emerged!

Meditation is not a casual practice or a matter of imagination. Without the foundation of divine intent, all is illusion.

"Surrender, or die."

In the end, unable to survive the Great Calamity, Houtu collapses, and both sentient beings and Buddhas are buried in the Suffering Sea.

Guided by the Bodhi's pure light, the strand of hair enters the Inner Universe, and the guardian Buddha chants, his expression solemn, as he takes the golden strand of hair in both hands and enters meditation once more.

[And now, you are witnessing the death of Houtu.]



[Great Thunder Zen Mind].

[I'm certain that Muyeshitian must have come here and learned the Dharma Body technique from the Old Monkey!]



Saint Ya's gaze sharpens, and he tries again, his eyes filled with a boundless intent. A strand of Yin energy spreads, and with his fist, it transforms into a black tidal wave, freezing everything within a hundred meters ahead.

In the temple, a stone statue, weathered by wind and rain, is the Buddha in the hearts of sentient beings.

The messenger doesn't hide anything, neither exaggerating nor minimizing, but reports truthfully. From his description, they deduce that this person's strength, even if not at the Forbidden level, is at least Quasi-Forbidden.

Standing before them is the guardian warrior whom Li Jingqiu had set free. At this moment, his hands and feet are crippled, a cruel and ruthless method that would require a long time and powerful medicine to heal.

Because he has seen the ending.

Ten thousand years ago, his clan's ancestors were utterly defeated by a nameless individual. In the final stages of the ancient path, this person, without fame or notoriety, inflicted the greatest defeat upon his clan's ancestor, who fought thirteen battles in a row without a single victory.

Unbeknownst to them, Li Jingqiu stands before them, his palm lightly patting Saint Ya's head.

Each time, he sees a glimmer of hope, devotes himself to cultivation and preparation for the next battle, only to see another glimmer of hope, and so the cycle continues.

In Cold Moon Heart's eyes, Saint Ya seems to have received a sudden awakening, his expression shifting from astonishment to daze, then to acceptance and intoxication, all within a single breath! Instinctively, she takes several steps back, her heart stirred...

Haila seems to be speaking to herself, but also guiding Li Jingqiu: [Countless years ago, the Great Universe should have faced a calamity, but due to a twist of fate, Houtu blocked the calamity, delaying it until now. In the end, Houtu perished, leaving behind only the Nine Continents, which were reabsorbed by the Great Universe. However, Houtu's blocking of the calamity was not an accident but a desperate attempt to survive, sacrificing itself to halt the calamity.]



Li Jingqiu sighs deeply.

In this era of the Omnipotent Heaven, there are said to be several Forbidden contenders, all vying for the final divine position.

"Taiyin Shen Ti, the Saint Ya of the Omnipotent Heaven!"

It's as if nothing can penetrate his defenses.

Li Jingqiu frowns, having heard a similar claim from several Divine Lords, but Haila's version is more detailed.

"It's the power of heaven and earth." Leng Yuexin spoke, her expression more solemn than ever, "This world is actually protecting him? Why is that so?"

"That's... Bodhi?!" Someone nearby exclaimed in surprise.

It reached out cautiously, and the next moment, the Bodhi tree, which had finally endured until this fated day, began to wither inch by inch. All its vitality condensed into a strand of clear light, shooting towards Ji Jingqiu. Amidst the rustling of branches and leaves, it was joyfully absorbed by the delighted Bodhi sapling.

The man's name was Ji Tianxing, who later became the fifth on the Ten Thousand Year Monument.

[So that's how it is. This ancient path is not only a place of inheritance but also the future of the Royal Heaven. It carries the karma and fate of all sentient beings in the Royal Heaven. One day, if the Great Universe survives this calamity, the Royal Heaven may have a chance to be reborn...]



The Taiyin and Taiyang were the most fundamental rules between heaven and earth. Mastering one of them would smooth the path to becoming a Celestial, let alone a being with an innate Taiyin body, who would almost certainly attain the status of a Celestial upon birth.

Even those historical figures who challenged the top thirty, or even the top ten, on the Ten Thousand Year Monument, found it difficult to subdue a Forbidden Sequence being without significant effort.

"He's indeed bold!"

The Buddha on the divine platform no longer kept his eyes lowered.

Sheng Ya's gaze was cold as he took a step forward and punched towards the majestic figure seated in meditation.

The surrounding martial artists had already scattered after the previous punch, but now they witnessed this punch infused with Taiyin energy, and their hairs stood on end.

Sheng Ya stood up first, his voice cold, "State your name, I won't spare nameless ones!"

There was no extra courtesy; those present were naturally enemies.

Unfortunately, this generation of the Flameglory Federation had sent someone, and there was even a suspected descendant of Ji Tianxing, but he showed no ambition, stopping at the pinnacle of the Sealed King realm, which was disappointing.

His energy was entirely focused on merging with this divine technique secret law. Hela's voice kept ringing in his ears.

Hela whispered incessantly in his ear.

Suddenly, Sheng Ya sighed lightly, his eyes filled with a hint of vagueness, regret, and acceptance, eventually settling into stillness as he looked at Ji Jingqiu and said in a low voice, "Sheng Ya is willing to submit."

They had both fought Kun Qianzhou and knew the boundless power of his divine techniques, but now Kun Qianzhou was crippled, and even his divine technique seeds had been taken away, leaving his identity completely exposed to Sheng Ya. For Sheng Ya, Ji Jingqiu's identity had an additional layer of significance; he was very likely to be the heir of Wan Chengcang, the chosen Divine Son of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Lord! The visions in their eyes dissipated, leaving only Ji Jingqiu's figure, like an incarnate deity, his expression filled with compassion as he extended his palm and pressed down. The howling wind blew, and the two joined forces, breaking through the dragon-like energy that had formed a divine technique hand.

The crowd began to stir, as earlier rumors had spread that someone had seen the Bodhi Sacred Tree in the Suspended Holy Site. This was a transcendent divine medicine, a heavenly treasure that even the top powerhouses of the Nine Continents would covet! But soon, many martial artists realized that although it seemed real, it wasn't the genuine Bodhi; it was a virtual image, similar to a created object.

69BookBar

"He's indeed a Young Supreme Being? The Flameglory Alliance is just as the clan records describe, producing exceptional talents..." Leng Yuexin's eyes lit up with joy.

Ancient records stated that when one's spirit reached perfection, even the expansion of one's spiritual power could enlighten and transform sentient beings, manifesting great divine techniques.

...

But the next moment.

Had the two actually known each other before?! It was absurd! Subduing a Forbidden Sequence martial artist with a single palm was an unprecedented feat!

It clasped its hands together in reverence, but Ji Jingqiu dared not accept this bow. He reached out to stop it, but only touched an illusion, quickly stepping aside.

When Ji Jingqiu woke up, the Bodhi tree behind him had not dispersed. It still stood tall, its leaves rustling softly.

The Bodhi sapling's clear light intensified, but this time, instead of growing new leaves, it sprouted new branches on its trunk! "Please let my Buddha reach the end of the ancient path, slay our sinful bodies, and grant the Royal Heaven's hundred lineages the gift of creation."

Leng Yuexin frowned, this "greeting" was too crude, and this person should have been left for her! But unexpectedly, this punch, spanning hundreds of meters and moving with the ebb and flow of the universe, did not enter Ji Jingqiu's ten-meter radius. It was as if an invisible barrier had swallowed the attack, not even stirring up a breeze.

Countless years of time were compressed into an instant, flashing before Ji Jingqiu's eyes. Instinctively, he wanted to raise his head, but that moment was too fast, and many details remained unclear.

The suspended inheritance was of utmost importance to them; they couldn't just give it up!

Even the top-tier great universes and planes had a subconscious will, and the Suspended Holy Site was one of them. Although it was already damaged, it still had a basic consciousness, and it wouldn't allow the inheritor to remain in danger.

Ji Jingqiu sat in meditation under the Bodhi tree, looking at the crowd and locking his gaze on the two people standing next to the martial artist he had let go. His expression was calm.

At least he needed to understand how this person had entered the Suspended Inheritance Site! Sheng Ya tried to approach Ji Jingqiu again but found that he still couldn't get closer than ten meters. He chose to sit in meditation on a ten-meter-high rock, overlooking Ji Jingqiu.

His voice was calm, but it thundered like a roar. With the Great Thunder Zen Mind as his foundation, it deafened and stunned Sheng Ya, shattering his mental defenses.

After seeing the final ranking on the Ten Thousand Year Monument, her clan's senior left in disappointment and never married. Later, when she attempted to break through the Celestial Realm, she made a mistake and failed, dying on the spot. The Celestial Maiden Clan had no grudge with Ji Tianxing, but Leng Yuexin very much wanted to compete with the Flameglory Alliance's martial artist to regain her pride.

This war Buddha, who couldn't save the world, had joined forces with many like-minded individuals in the Royal Heaven Universe, collectively known as the Royal Heaven's Hundred Lineages. Together, they had created this Royal Heaven Ancient Path.

Leng Yuexin took a deep breath and nodded, not refusing.

With a loud shout, the two engaged in the most intense clash of martial will.

"What kind of contemplation method does he cultivate to manifest such a divine object?

Someone grumbled.

Though the foundation of the Omnipresent Kingdom was not in Southern Wasteland Continent or Yanfu Continent, its power was astonishing, dominating the entire Dao Lin Continent and expanding its influence outward. The Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Lord behind it was one of the strongest figures in the Nine Provinces.

It was a form of Divine Journey, and his physical body should still be sitting in the original place.

They had exhausted their minds, meticulously planning, and still needed at least ten days to have a chance of entering the Legacy Site. This person had only just arrived, and yet, he somehow entered the Legacy Site through Divine journey?

Involving a possible taboo, he did not underestimate the situation and was very cautious. He was well aware of the strength of the person before him and knew that he could not take down the other alone.

One of them came from the Omnipresent Kingdom, rumored to be a candidate Divine son, named Sheng Ya.

Sheng Ya looked up in confusion, as Ji Tianxing’s figure seemed infinitely vast, blocking out the light, his face in shadow, only his eyes like cold lightning remained visible.

Leng Yuexin glanced at him, standing coldly nearby, her gaze never leaving Ji Tianxing.

The young man who ignored everyone, sitting cross-legged on a large rock with his eyes closed, suddenly had a Bodhi Tree sprout behind him, its leaves rustling as if chanting scriptures, making people feel incredibly comfortable, and generating countless inspirations, as if they had comprehended the subtlety of enlightenment.

At this moment, Ji Tianxing had no more energy to listen.

"Go and inform the others," Sheng Ya’s gaze swept over the martial artist who led them there, then he said to Leng Yuexin with a deep voice, "You and I will stay here, waiting for the others to arrive. time he wakes up, we will act together to suppress him, we cannot let him leave!"

The old ape chanted a Buddha chant, his figure seemingly dissipating, his eyes showing a look of liberation.

One of them was from the Celestial Maiden Clan, the current Celest, named Leng Yuexin.

The originally seed of divine skill, which still needed time to be re-cultivated, in this moment completed its reenactment, turning into a seed of divine skill, rooting itself in Ji Tianxing’s heart.

And the one they surrounded in the center was a young man, eyes closed, deep in cultivation.

Upon seeing this extremely distinctive divine skill, the two instantly changed expressions, realizing who they were facing.

Ji Tianxing opened his eyes, his expression devoid of joy or sorrow, as if he had comprehended a Zen heart, his eyes shining brilliantly,ly sitting there without rising, if to trigger a powerful aura that stirred the skies and the hearts of those present.

"Why?" Leng Yuexin couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.

If there were other young supreme beings,, perhaps not surnamed Ji, perhaps they could wash away the shame of the past.

He extended his palm without drawing weapons, the Bodhi Tree behind him casting clear light, sacred and transcendent, a palm struck out, forming a hundred-meter golden palm, with the scene of dragons and dragons following it, aiming to subdue them.

Leng Yuexin’s heart felt as if something had exploded, her senses ringing, what a joke is this?

This must be some strange technique!

Thus, Ji Tianxing’s expression sharpened, seeing the many martial artists surrounding him, including those from the Omnipresent kingdom.

The martial artists around felt a chill, what level of mental cultivation could this be?

The broken temple in the lotus he had seen first at the path, still appeared to be the true hanging sacred site, the same as before.

The next moment, ji Tianxing received a gift from the old ape, gaining insights into many mysteries.

Under his gaze, Leng yuexin felt a coldness from her feet to her head, unable to decipher his methods, wanting to resist but hesitating, fearing the same fate as Sheng ya.

she suddenly thought of an ancestor from her clan, taking a deep breath, said,

"I am willing to bow!"
