Chapter 646: The Master is a Dragon Tiger Arhat (8K4, 8K6 to go)
Chapter 646: The Master is a Dragon Tiger Arhat (8K4, 8K6 to go)
Atop Crane Mountain, a simply dressed monk sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, his chapped lips moving as he chanted sacred words that reverberated through the world.
His palms were pressed together, and his face was filled with compassion.
Countless beings gazed upon him with reverence.
Not just mortals, but even the cultivators from major sects, found it hard to compare the Lotus Platform Dharma Body to anything other than the true Celestial Venerable traditions within the Triad Immortal Sect.
The Golden Light Shatters Ten Thousand Dharmas.
Those unorthodox and inferior side-branch techniques were of no significance in the face of the Wanderer's Path.
Such precious teachings, and the Bodhisattva asked for nothing in return, setting no prerequisites, openly sharing them with the world—what a magnanimous heart!
Not just cultivators, but even literate mortals, hurriedly took out paper and brushes, and if they didn't have paper, they would take off their clothes and write directly on their garments.
However, amidst this atmosphere of joyous clamor, many figures appeared with furious expressions.
In the sky, a faint yellow mist, invisible to mortal eyes, began to gather rapidly. It was the Imperial Aura that governed Shenzhou, and it surged like a dragon, sweeping towards Crane Mountain.
This was a warning from the Divine Kingdom!
The Seven Treasure Bodhisattva sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, his eyes cloudy and half-lidded, as if oblivious to the changes in the sky.
He explained the scriptures in the simplest manner, like a dedicated teacher, solely focused on enlightening sentient beings.
After finishing the Three-Tier Lotus Platform Technique, without a moment's pause, he merely pursed his lips and continued with the Six Tribulation Lotus Platform Dharma.
Behind the many towns, there was a grand mansion.
"Hmm!"
At this moment, a resentful cold hum echoed from a majestic city tens of thousands of miles away.
The overwhelming Imperial Aura suddenly stirred, transforming into a terrifying vortex, with its center aimed directly at the figure on the lotus platform.
The tightly clasped palms of the Seven Treasure Bodhisattva seemed like towering mountains, unmoving, but the veins on the back of his hands bulged like coiled dragons, a somewhat intimidating sight.
The chanting never ceased, and among the towns, the numerous figures sitting on meditation cushions, who had initially been filled with joy, gradually became fervent.
This was a complete Seventh Rank path, and among the Seventh Rank, it was the most supreme.
Behind the vast Imperial Aura, several figures seemed to be hiding.
They shot sharp glares at the bald head of the monk, barely restraining their urge to take action.
Finally, the old monk stopped preaching.
He slightly lifted his head, revealing a face that seemed to have aged decades in an instant.
He watched as the surging Imperial Aura transformed into a giant hand, pressing down.
The corners of the Seven Treasure Bodhisattva's mouth curled slightly upward, and the seven wheels of golden light behind him burst forth with unprecedented brilliance, making his plain robe shimmer like the most exquisite kasaya.
The giant hand collided with the golden light in an unseen realm.
The Buddha's light no longer illuminated all beings; instead, it retreated to the boundaries of Crane Mountain, growing dimmer, struggling to protect the hundreds of meditators.
"What's happening...?"
The mortals couldn't see the Imperial Aura, but these renowned cultivators from major sects couldn't miss the changes before their eyes.
They exchanged bewildered glances.
It was known that the Divine Kingdom and the Immortal Court jointly governed Shenzhou, and the Bodhimanda Sect was a part of the Immortal Court. Never before had there been such a direct suppression in front of outsiders, a sudden turn of events.
Could it be that the Bodhimanda Sect's preaching hadn't received the court's approval? As they pondered in uncertainty,
The Seven Treasure Bodhisattva had already stabilized the Buddha's light, protecting the area before him.
Many cultivators who had intended to stand up had their faces slightly pale, and they bowed their heads, pretending not to understand and continued listening.
A Sixth Rank technique...
It pointed directly to the Golden Lotus Ascetic Realm, comparable to the Celestial Immortal Realm!
Of course, many cultivators also stood up, crushed the jade slips they had used to record the Lotus Platform techniques, and bowed to both the Seven Treasure Bodhisattva and the Imperial Aura in the sky, offending neither. Then, they quickly withdrew from Crane Mountain.
These major cultivators didn't dare to get involved in the conflict between great powers.
But most of the solitary cultivators and mortals couldn't even see what was happening, still immersed in the profound Sacred Scriptures.
Until one of the seven wheels of golden light behind the Bodhisattva abruptly shattered.
Ye Lan slowly opened her eyes, and at this moment, all the powerful beings in this realm had their attention focused on the unseen battle in the sky. As a Title General, she naturally had her own duties.
But she had promised the youth beside her, and so she had to make a trip.
"What's happening...?"
The youth beside her was stunned, his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Ye Lan smiled, her eyes filled with determination. She stood up, her body exuding a powerful aura, and said, "I'll go and see."
The youth nodded, his eyes filled with admiration and worry.
Ye Lan walked towards the youth, her every step exuding dominance and allure. She stood before him, her gaze fixed on his, and said, "I'll be back soon."
The youth nodded again, his heart pounding in his chest.
Ye Lan turned and walked towards the battle in the sky, her every step filled with purpose.

Seeing Zixian turn to look back, Zileng's smile grew even wider, and she even waved slightly, greeting everyone.
Upon hearing the name Hongze.
Everyone, including Xuan Qing, stopped in their tracks involuntarily.
"What's wrong?"
Ye Lan frowned and turned around, noticing that this group of people showed no signs of relief after their ordeal. Instead, each of their faces was filled with a resolve to die.
No one responded.
They were all staring intently at the woman on the mountaintop.
Indeed, if she had already decided to go to Hongze, she would naturally discover the news of Shi Ren's demise... living a few more days would be meaningless. The land they cherished, along with the countless lives within it, was about to become a rebel stronghold to be swept away by the Heavenly Court's Immortal Armies.
There was no way out of this situation!
"You are also from Hongze. You know how much effort you spent to leave, and how many people you harmed."
"It didn't have to be this way, right?"
Ji Jingxi slowly turned around and spoke softly.
If it weren't for Shi Ren, even Zileng herself could have normally come to this realm of Shenzhou, seeking opportunities and becoming an immortal ancestor through proper means. Why go to such lengths to do these things?
However, her words did not move Zileng in the slightest.
The girl in the purple and white long dress looked at everyone seriously: "But I have already made it out."
Once out, she was no longer one of them.
To her now, these former friends were all trouble, all stains, all deserving of death!
Upon hearing this, despair finally filled everyone's eyes.
Sect Master Shen had single-handedly secured a clear sky for Hongze, but it would ultimately fall into the hands of this woman.
"..."
Ye Lan fell silent for a moment before she understood why Shen Yi had earlier hoped she would send these people away, preferably without meeting Zileng.
But she thought the area around Crane Mountain was the safest. If these people left her sight, she could not guarantee her previous promise. Therefore, she only sent Meng Xiuwen and Ye Jing to keep an eye on them.
It turned out there were other complications involved.
"Whatever the trouble, speak up, and I'll discuss it with her master."
Ye Lan sighed and rubbed her temples.
However, there was no surprise on the faces of the crowd. Intercepting a Celestial Official was not something that could be negotiated.
Just then, as Ye Lan lifted her gaze, she was taken aback: "Why are you here?"
At the edge of the sky, a figure in dark robes walked slowly toward them.
"Here they are, all present and accounted for, it's time to go..." Ye Lan glanced at the group beside her.
"Thank you, Senior Ye."
The Dark Robe Youth walked through the crowd and moved forward: "Shen Yi owes you a favor."
"Don't play dumb. I said it's time to go. Don't forget, you promised me."
Ye Lan had already guessed that these people were involved in some trouble. Now that the other party had entered the Demon Slaying Bureau, there were many other ways to clear their names, no need to escalate the conflict.
As a Title General, she was responsible for the security of many major prefectures and could not be coerced by Shen Yi into getting involved in this.
To make a move against the subordinates of a Fifth Rank Celestial General, even she would need to report to her superiors and have a solid reason.
"Without a solid reason, I won't take action."
Ye Lan felt that this statement should be enough to dispel the other party's thoughts.
Hearing this, Shen Yi glanced back and said seriously: "The previous matter is over. The remaining issues, I will handle myself."
The youth's words were calm, but they left Zi Yang and others stunned.
They had never imagined that Sect Master Shen would appear here under these circumstances.
By enmity, he did not know Zileng. By other ties, this young Sect Master had only stayed in Hongze for a few years, which, for a cultivator, could be considered a brief visit.
Moreover, Shen Yi had now befriended a renowned existence in the Triad Immortal Sect, his future was bright.
To put it bluntly, letting Hongze fall might even help him clear his name. With the protection of a Great Dharmaraja of the Triad Immortal Sect, who would dare to blame him for Shi Ren's demise?
But he still came.
"What do you plan to do?" Ye Lan was almost amused to the point of laughter. This Bearded White Dragon, though his foundation was unstable and his lineage poor, was still a Sixth Rank Celestial Immortal. Moreover, he had the support of a Phoenix Celestial General.
"..."
Shen Yi did not respond. In the next moment, he appeared directly on the mountaintop.
Zileng's smile had not faded; she carefully examined the youth before her: "So, does this senior also intend to interfere with the affairs of the Heavenly Court?"
"Don't call me senior."
Shen Yi looked down coldly and spoke a single word: "Dirty."
As the word fell, his clean boots suddenly struck Zileng's abdomen.
With the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal like this Bearded White Dragon, she had no chance to react at all. Her expression froze, and she flew backward like a broken sack!
Boom—
The mountain shattered instantly, leaving everyone present stunned.
The people from Hongze, who had personally experienced Zileng's strength, watched helplessly as she was blasted away by this seemingly ordinary kick.
They did not even sense any fluctuations in qi.
Only Ye Lan's eyes widened slightly. This was the path of the Wanderer's Path, where one gathers great power within oneself, a method she was very familiar with... What surprised Ye Lan was that this kick was at least at the level of a Golden Lotus Ascetic.
If the other party had such strength, why did he spend time listening with his eyes closed on Crane Mountain?
Amidst the collapsing mountain, a streak of light suddenly shot out.
Zileng was no longer as composed as before, panting heavily, and the white dragon scales on her broken clothing, which had been refined into a close-fitting armor, were already showing cracks.
This armor was not refined by her but by the Phoenix General, using her old scales to create a protective artifact.
