Chapter 2212 Harmonizing

With the two chants working in union, a mystical harmony was created.

~HUMMMM~

The effect was so profound that they became visual!

Strings of golden light radiated from Lin Mu and Monk Hushu, vibrating in the air while a melodious tune played.

"This this is" Daoist Chu and several others were stunned.

"Tune of the Buddhist Dao Perfect Harmony." Crown Prince Feng Shun recognized. "So Monk Hushu finally achieved it." He added.

"With a.s.sistance from Daoist Mu Lin." Crown Princess Shang added.

The rest of the group watched in marvel while the two continued their chanting. The chats got deeper and deeper, while resonating with the tune of the Buddhist Dao. It soon turned into echoes that radiated for tens of kilometer.

~WOONG~WOONG~WOONG~

And with each echoing chat, the strings vibrated in unison sending forth waves of energy. The energy pushed against all the Baleful energies in the area, either purifying them in one go, or breaking them down to a reduced concentration.

The strongest effect was of course on the curtain of Baleful Energy in front of them.

The Corrupting Qi was the first one to be purified by the unified chant and the curtain reduced by 10% right away.

But the Rot Wind Qi was not as easy to dispel. It was stubborn and withstood the combined attack of Lin Mu and Monk Hushu. But even then it was trembling with each note.

~WOONG~WOONG~WOONG~

The voices of the two men got louder, as the Evil Dispelling Mantra and the Calming Heart Sutra turned into hammers that slammed upon the curtain.

A serene and holy atmosphere was created in this desolate place, and it felt like one was standing in a Buddhist Monastery while a hundred monks chanted the scriptures.

Both Lin Mu and Monk Hushu seemed to have entered a trance as their focus deepened. The glow from Monk Hushu seemed to be getting stronger, as his cultivation seemed to be improving!

Lin Mu was not losing out either, but his progress was not with his cultivation base. Instead, it was the Calming Heart Sutra that seemed to be progressing!

He had reached the Third Stage of Internal Resonance with the Calming Heart Sutra a while back. In this stage, he didn't even need to physically chant to get the effects of the sutra. Though the effect was limited to himself.

He could not affect the others without chanting it.

Lin Mu had thought that it would take him a long time to progress any further. But helping Monk Hushu in amplifying his own Buddhist technique seemed to have acted as a catalyst.

The effectiveness of the Calming Heart Sutra had increased by twice when it reached the third stage, but this was limited to Lin Mu himself. Even if he physically chanted it, the Sutra's effectiveness would be the same as before for others.

But now, the effectiveness on others was reaching the same level as his own body!

~HONGLONGGONG~

After a few minutes of this, the power of their chant seemed to reach a breakthrough and a loud sound was heard.

"A temple bell?" Qiao De recognized.

"Something we would only hear in a monastery Monk Hushu seems to have benefited a lot." Crown Prince Feng Shun smiled.

~HONGLONGGONG~

But it wasn't only the sound of a bell that was heard, as soon a giant bell manifested!

It was made from the golden strings that were radiating off Lin Mu and Monk Hushu. These strings were vibrating to create the tune of the Buddhist Dao earlier, but now they had metamorphosed to form an entire temple bell.

The bell was entirely golden, and had auspicious motifs on it. And on its top one could see large prayer beads wrapped. If one looked closely, they would realize that the prayer beads looked like the enlarged version of the same prayer beads that Monk Hushu had in his hands.

~HONG~

When the bell formed entirely, Monk Hushu's eyes opened. His gaze was serene and yet it would imbue terror into all things evil. "Five Evils Purging Beads!" Monk Hushu uttered, causing the prayed beads to fly out of his hands. ~SHUA~

The beads enlarged in size and soon became big enough to surround the entire curtain of Baleful energies!

"Vajra's Compa.s.sionate Embrace!" Monk Hushu said out loud.

As soon as he did that, the prayer beads shrank in size, squeezing the curtain of Baleful energies.

This restrained the size of the curtain and made it tremble intensively.

~DENG~

The golden bell above them also rang at the same time, its sound sending cracks in the curtain.

~DENG~DENG~DENG~DENG~

The bell kept on ringing while Monk Hushu controlled the Five Evils Purging Beads to restrain the curtain. Lin Mu's support was maintained throughout this and Monk Hushu felt endless energy at this moment.

His eyes lit up with a hint of fury as he swiped his hand in a cutting gesture.

"BEGONE!" ~BOOM~

The Curtain of Rot Wind Qi shattered apart under the unified attack and dissipated into nothingness.

Even though an explosion happened, it was fully contained under the power of the Five Evils Purging Beads. As such, neither Lin Mu and Monk Hushu or the rest of the group was affected by it.

The Rot Wind Qi curtain was like a paper tube being crushed helplessly under the weight of a rock.

~HUU~

Monk Hushu took a deep breath after doing that, as his gaze returned to normal.

"Return." He said lightly, causing the Five Evils Purging Beads to shrink down and return to his hands.

The chants stopped too, and the Tune of the Buddhist Dao disappeared.

Lin Mu sensed this too and opened his eyes, glancing at the gate that was now visible.

"Congratulations Monk Hushu." Crown Prince Feng Shun greeted his long-term companion. "Looks like you've finally achieved what you've wanted to." He added.

"Amithabha I owe Daoist Mu Lin a great load of debt." Monk Hushu said, turning to the man and bowling deeply.
