As his thoughts drifted, he felt a few wet, warm little tongues licking his cheek.
What are you doing!
The little devil stuck out its little tongue, licked its lips, and a bewitching smile bloomed on its beautiful face.
She raised her snow-white chin defiantly and said, "Let's do dual cultivation."
Li Chang'an rolled over and pressed down on her: "Woman, are you ready to cry?"
……
Nanfa Temple.
Outside the collapsed sealed tower, in the plaza.
The Arhat Du'e, with a seven-colored halo shining behind his head, sat cross-legged on a futon, holding a golden bowl in his palm.
"Passing through the eight sufferings and undergoing the test of the heart, this is the meaning of the Bodhisattva Guangxian."
If you pass these two tests, the matter of the destroyed sealing tower will be resolved.
The dark-skinned, gaunt old monk gazed calmly at Asura opposite him.
"The disciple understands."
Asura clasped his hands together, took a step forward, and entered the golden bowl.
Du'e Luohan withdrew his hand, and the golden bowl slowly floated into the air, projecting a light screen from its mouth.
In the light screen, Asura, draped in a kasaya, stood tall with his hands clasped together.
He stood before the Eight Sufferings Formation, but hesitated to enter.
The Eight Sufferings Formation is a formation used by eminent Buddhist monks to achieve enlightenment. Passing through this formation removes afflictions and gives rise to Buddhist thoughts.
From then on, he converted to Buddhism and became proficient in Buddhist teachings.
Conversely, one will be forever trapped in the eight sufferings, and one's primordial spirit will collapse.
Of course, every monk who enters the Eight Sufferings Formation to temper his Buddhist mind will receive the attention of an Arhat or Bodhisattva to ensure the stability of his primordial spirit.
In short, the Eight Sufferings Formation is actually part of the Buddhist concept of "emptiness of the four elements".
If Asura is still Asura, still that Asura who converted to Buddhism, then he has no fear of the Eight Sufferings Formation.
Seeing that Asura had not entered the formation for a long time, Du'e said calmly:
"Amitabha Buddha, Asura, what is there to hesitate about?"
The sound traveled through the ritual implements and into the Buddhist realm within the golden bowl.
Asuro said calmly:
"It was just a recollection of the past, those things that have long since vanished like smoke."
Having said that, he did not hesitate any longer and stepped into the Eight Sufferings Formation.
Du'e narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Asura in the formation.
The ugly yet valiant young son of the Asura King walked slowly but with unwavering determination through the Eight Sufferings Formation.
Throughout the process, his expression remained calm.
After passing through the Eight Sufferings Formation, Asura continued his ascent, climbing the steps until he soon arrived at the ancient temple at the summit.
There is a large bronze bell on the top of the ancient temple.
"Clang!" He pushed the bell hammer and struck the first note.
The ancient bronze bell resonated with a vast and melodious chime, accompanied by ripples of golden light.
"Dang Dang Dang"
The bells rang continuously, and ripples of golden light swept over Asura in layers.
First, golden light shone between his brows, and then his body was covered with a faint golden glow, clear and translucent.
After eighty-one syllables, Asura released the bell hammer, clasped his hands together, and lowered his head and eyes.
The Arhat Du'e smiled and held up a flower: "The Buddha's heart is without defilement. I will report back to Bodhisattva Guangxian."
Recently, a demonic aura has been emanating from the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The wildfire of the Southern Demon's restoration has been simmering for five hundred years, and now it is about to ignite the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains.
We are ordered to guard the southern border; we must not be negligent or careless.
Asura nodded: "That is certainly the case."
Late at night in southern Xinjiang.
On the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains, there is a high mountain called "Qingfeng Cliff".
The full moon hangs high in the sky, and countless figures are busy under its bright light.
Some are humanoid in appearance, some are humanoid but have animalistic features, and some are purely animalistic.
What they have in common is that they are all porters.
Hundreds of demons were throwing living creatures into a large pit. These creatures included both animals and people from the Western Regions.
But whether they were animals or humans, they were either on the verge of death or unconscious, completely unaware of their impending fate.
High in the sky, Li Chang'an and Luo Yuheng stood with their feet firmly planted on the void.
"A grand, bloody sacrifice," Li Chang'an said in a deep voice, looking down at the scene below.
These creatures were collected with the aim of restoring some of the divine remains to their original strength.
Shen Shu was sealed for five hundred years, and his vital energy was depleted. This cannot be restored by simply practicing breathing exercises.
To restore the power of the transcendent realm, one must absorb power of the same level.
It conforms to the law of conservation of energy.
Since Blood Pills for those in the Transcendent Realm are extremely rare, the only way forward is to let quantitative change lead to qualitative change.
"What, King Li, can't bear to watch the creatures below lose their lives for nothing?"
Luo Yuheng teased with a smile, like a frivolous enchantress.
Li Chang'an did not answer directly, but instead sighed:
“I cultivate Confucianism and Taoism, but I am not a pedantic Confucian scholar.”
As they were talking, a huge noise came from the jungle below, and trees collapsed in large swaths.
A huge black-scaled serpent slowly crawled over, crushing the trees along its path.
"Hiss."
The giant serpent raised its head and flicked its tongue at the full moon in the sky.
"It's the Snake Protector! The Snake Protector has arrived!"
"The Serpent Guardian's body is as enormous as ever, no, hasn't it grown even bigger?"
The demons below were buzzing with discussion.
The giant snake's abdomen writhed, and a round ball bulged out. The ball slowly moved upwards and was spat out with a "poof" when it reached the snake's throat.
It was a "sphere" formed by people from the Western Regions, enveloped in a kind of energy, and there were probably dozens of people there.
"Violent!"
The clear, melodious cry echoed in the night sky.
Two enormous creatures swept across the night sky. One was a crimson giant bird, each two zhang long, with feathers as red as flames.
A majestic eagle, thirteen feet long, with brown feathers tinged with gold.
Each of the two giant birds held an iron chain in its claws, and in the middle of the chains was a wooden cage that was two zhang long, two zhang wide, and two zhang high.
The wooden cages housed a variety of animals, including both herbivores and carnivores.
Two giant birds swept over the group of demons, their claws suddenly loosening, causing the enormous cage to crash down.
The "snake guardian" flicked its long tail, easily coiling around the wooden cage and gently setting it down.
A long howl echoed under the moonlight as a giant dog, three zhang long, came galloping towards them, its four limbs treading on the air as if walking on flat ground.
Judging from the chattering of the demons below, Li Chang'an knew that these were the dog guardians of the Demon Kingdom.
In the next hour, the demon guardians made their grand entrance. Eighteen of them arrived, all of them fourth-rank demons.
The creatures in the pit piled up higher and higher.
"Li Lang, it's time to release that real demoness."
Chapter 436 Second-Rank Peak Appearance! Li Chang'an's Handsome Appearance Dazzles the Demons!
Under the full moon.
Li Chang'an released the nine-tailed fox.
She had fluffy fox ears and a full head of silver hair as white as frost.
