Book 07 Chapter 109: Buddhist Nation in Hand
When the Sword Deity Six Paths received Jiang Gautamas command, his eyes radiated a murderous intent.
s.h.i.+ng!
The Sword Deity Six Paths instantly drew his holy sword, an intense sense of fatal threat rus.h.i.+ng out in all directions. The surging murderous intent made everyone tremble, and the surrounding storm of sword qi grew tenfold.
Rumble!
Thousands of sword qi crashed into Borderless Heavenly Capitals defensive ritual array, making the barrier tremble. It looked like it would shatter at any moment.
Gu Hai is not around? Since Gu Hai is not in Borderless Heavenly Capital, theres no purpose in leaving Borderless Heavenly Capital here! The Sword Deity Six Paths moved his hand slightly.
Buzz!
The millions of sword qi had initially been circling the floating island. Now, they all suddenly turned and pointed at Borderless Heavenly Capital. The aura from the millions of sword qi gave the countless citizens an asphyxiating sense of horror.
Milord, what should we do now?
Milord, when will His Reverence return?
Wheres Lord Kong Xuan?
A group of anxious officials raised a great hue and cry.
Stop clamoring. How lacking in decorum! Borderless Heavenly Capital has not reached the end of its rope yet! Chen Tianshan shouted.
Uhyes! All the officials immediately quieted.
Mo Yike turned to the monk walking over. This was Vairocana, who had been spending his time chanting scriptures.
Reverend, there is an enemy here. Could you Mo Yike watched as Vairocana walked over.
Although Mo Yike did not know Vairocanas ident.i.ty, Gu Hai had said he could ask Vairocana for help if powerful enemies attacked.
Vairocana smiled faintly and said, Dont worry.
Vairocanas smile a.s.sured Mo Yike, immediately easing his tension.
When Meng Tai, Gao Xianzhi, Sima Changkong, and Chen Tianshan saw Mo Yikes expression, they immediately understood.
Vairocana stepped forward.
------
Far away, the six faction leaders showed horror on their faces. This divine swordsman, my son is inside. He is not from the Han Imperial Dynasty. He is innocent!
The six rushed out, wanting to stop the Sword Deity Six Paths.
Scram! the Sword Deity Six Paths shouted coldly.
Then the Sword Deity Six Paths gave off a shock-wave-like aura.
Boom!
This aura sent the six flying.
What? the six exclaimed.
To think I cannot even match this swordsmans aura?
My son, run quickly! the six cried out in horror as they rushed towards Borderless Heavenly Capital, wanting to save their sons at this most critical moment.
Now, most people, including Jiang Gautama, believed Borderless Heavenly Capital was doomed.
Jiang Gautama revealed a faint, supercilious smile as he watched the Sword Deity Six Paths send out a powerful sword strike.
Only Xingtian narrowed his eyes at the monk in the Soaring Palace Halls plaza. After all, he had recently lost to this monk in a battle of wills.
Afterwards, Xingtian had investigated this monk. However, he found nothing, no matter what information agency he used. He could not even obtain a portrait of him. This greatly frustrated Xingtian for a long time.
Now that Vairocana came out, Xingtian took a good look.
Holy sword, destroy the world! The Sword Deity Six Paths glared as he swung his holy sword down.
The surrounding sword qi seemed to have received a command, flying towards Borderless Heavenly Capital with the holy swords manifested sword.
The Sword Deity Six Paths could break techniques with his sword strike. The might of this world-destroying sword strike had reached the peak.
Boom!
Borderless Heavenly Capitals defensive barrier exploded.
No! Countless citizens revealed horrified expressions.
No! My son, run! The six faction leaders also showed expressions of despair.
This sword strike would not just chop apart Borderless Heavenly Capital but even reduce the entire floating island to powder. Perhaps a few experts might survive, but it would exterminate all the ordinary people.
Some of the experts who had rushed over could not bear to watch.
Most of the Han Nation officials appeared alarmed. Only Mo Yike and his coterie remained calm, showing no fear.
Then Vairocana extended his right palm. He did not throw a palm strike to clash but just turned his palm around, making it face up.
Buddhist Nation in Hand! Vairocana said indifferently.
Although not loud, Vairocanas voice spread out in all directions.
Buddhist Nation in Hand? What is that? Xingtian said in surprise, standing in the distance.
During this time, a colossal hand appeared above, seeming to cover the sky. It s.h.i.+elded the entire Borderless Heavenly Capital.
All the sword qi and the manifested sword rushed into this immaterial gargantuan palm.
Buzz!
The millions of sword qi giving off a powerful aura entered the palm and promptly vanished, like stones thrown into water. They just vanished. No, even a stone would cause ripples on the waters surface, but there was nothing at all; they just vanished.
That was a sword strike that could destroy a world! Yet such a devastating attack simply vanished?
Who is he? At the Spirit Mountain Holy Lands entrance, Jiang Gautamas face sank.
What? The six faction leaders felt stupefied. This gargantuan palm looked very strong. What happened to the millions of sword qi?
My world-destroying sword strike! the Sword Deity Six Paths exclaimed in shock.
While the Sword Deity Six Paths was in shock, the gargantuan palm suddenly flipped around.
Whoos.h.!.+
The gargantuan palm grabbed the Sword Deity Six Paths. It seemed to contain an independent world and pulled the Sword Deity Six Paths into that independent world.
The gargantuan hand suddenly shrank, returning to Vairocana and vanis.h.i.+ng.
The suppressive sword qi attack disappeared, along with the horrifying swordsman. Everyone felt like they had been dreaming. This did not seem real.
Where is he? Where is that earlier powerful swordsman?
Everyone instantly focused their gaze on Vairocana.
Vairocana maintained an indifferent expression. As he extended his right hand, it shone with Buddhist light. A shrunken Sword Deity Six Paths could vaguely be seen, frantically flying around in his palm. However, no matter how fast the Sword Deity Six Paths flew, he could not escape Vairocanas palm.
Gasp!
Many Han Nation officials behind Vairocana inhaled sharply.
Since when did my Han Imperial Dynasty have such an expert?
Now, the six faction leaders flew to Borderless Heavenly Capital and landed on the Soaring Palace Halls plaza.
Father! The six hostage princes rushed over.
However, the six faction leaders were no longer in the mood to care about their sons. Instead, they stared at Vairocanaand at the Sword Deity Six Paths relentlessly trying to flee his palmin shock and horror.
That is the horrifying Sword Deity Six Paths! Yet, he cannot escape this monks hand?
Previously, a powerful expert had appeared out of nowhere in the Han Imperial Dynasty. Now, another powerful expert appeared.
To think I had planned to attack Borderless Heavenly Capital. Wasnt that just seeking death? The six immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Imperial Emperor Gu did not pursue past matters. If he had, how could we have escaped? How could we have gotten away with simply sending our sons here as hostages?
Buddhist Nation in Hand? Reverend, how awe-inspiring! a sovereign said with a respectful bow.
The other five also bowed respectfully.
Vairocana nodded in acknowledgment.
Xingtian narrowed his eyes. A Buddhist technique? What an incredible Buddhist technique!
-----
Far away, at the entrance of the Spirit Mountain Holy Lands Hall of Great Strength, Jiang Gautama narrowed his eyes, showing an unsightly expression.
Buddhist Nation in Hand? I had thought of such a technique before, but I only formed a rudimentary version of it. Hewho is he? How could he have already completed it? I have never seen this buddha before. Who is he? Jiang Gautama said in shock.
------
The distant Vairocana seemed to sense Jiang Gautamas attention. He suddenly turned his gaze in the Spirit Mountain Holy Lands direction.
Jiang Gautamas and Vairocanas eyes met.
------
Consummate Upper Heavenly Palace Realm? Jiang Gautama said in shock.
------
The distant Vairocana smiled faintly, merely nodding before ignoring Jiang Gautama.
------
This disregard caused Jiang Gautamas eyelids to twitch wildly.
Men! Investigate a monk; search the ancient records. Immediately report to me when you come across anything! Jiang Gautama manifested an image of Vairocana.
Yes! a group of bodhisattvas said respectfully after coming over.
------
In Borderless Heavenly Capital:
The Sword Deity Six Paths continued trying to escape from Vairocanas palm but to no avail.
Vairocana looked at his palm. You can never run from this buddhas Buddhist Nation in Hand. Just wait quietly.
Then he clenched his right hand, essentially putting the Sword Deity Six Paths away.
The officials in the plaza felt excited and shocked. This monk was very powerful.
Many thanks, Reverend! Mo Yike and the others bowed.
Its nothing. I made a promise to Mister Gu. Naturally, I will not let troublemakers destroy Borderless Heavenly Capital, Vairocana said with a faint smile.
After nodding, Vairocana ignored everyone elses compliments, leaving the Soaring Palace Halls plaza and returning to his hall.
Many of the officials had yet to recover their wits when Vairocana left.
Mo Yike and Chen Tianshan exchanged looks and smiles.
Alright. Have the various patrols check on the citizens losses. Immediately pacify the citizens and repair any destroyed buildings, Chen Tianshan instructed.
Yes! the officials answered.
Now, many of the officials felt embarra.s.sed. They had indeed behaved disgracefully earlier. Since the emperor left, he would have made the necessary arrangements before doing so.
The officials left to handle their tasks. Then Mo Yike looked at the six faction leaders.
His Reverence is away for a few days. Since you have made a trip here, you may visit your sons for a few days, Mo Yike said with a smile.
The six exchanged looks. Now, they no longer resented their sons being hostages. Instead, they said politely, Many thanks, Lord Mo.
Mo Yike nodded and no longer bothered with the six.
The sixs sons came over.
Father, that was terrifying earlier. I want to go home. I dont want to remain any longer. Let me go back! one of the sect masters sons cried out.
Slap! A loud slap resounded.
Father, why did you hit me?
If you dare to mention going back again, I will break your legs. Who gave you the idea to run previously?! Fortunately, you did not run. Otherwise, you would have harmed my sect! that sect master shouted.
The hostage princes felt speechless. Am I not your flesh and blood?
The clamor in Borderless Heavenly Capital slowly died down.
Outside the city, Xingtian frowned heavily. The Han Imperial Dynasty? I truly underestimated it. I need to report this to Her Holy Eminence immediately.
