Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1204 - 540: The Bliss Heaven Dharma Assembly, Kasyapa Buddha’s Dharma Body Incarnation_2
["Venerable, from now on, she will serve only you with utmost devotion."]
[As she spoke, she lifted the strands of blue-black hair beside her ears, her delicate lips slightly parted, and she slowly squatted down...]
[You pushed the Magical Dharma Bodhisattva away and left the side hall first, signaling for her to follow.]
[Magical Dharma Bodhisattva asked in confusion, "Venerable, where are we going?"]
[Without looking back, you headed towards the path leading to the Scripture Collection Hall... to raid it!]
[Upon entering the Scripture Collection Hall, you were met with the Librarian’s speechless expression.]
[A shock went through your heart—had you overstayed the time limit?]
[The ’Librarian’ opened his mouth, and it took him a while to say, "Apostle, you truly are ingenious at skiving..."]
[Last time, when you ambushed the Executor, you brought an army of over a hundred demon lords to gang up on the Executor, turning a high-difficulty endurance task into a sweep and clear mission.]
[Now, now you’ve...]
[The Librarian had never imagined that you would eliminate Buddha Kasyapa before the task even started.]
[The two-hour defense task was supposed to be incredibly challenging, and even if you employed all your strategies and struggled to hold on, you would ultimately be defeated.]
[Yet, the toughest boss in the task was preemptively taken out by you, and what was left in the endurance task were just two Adjacent Servants and a swarm of minor disciple-rank monsters. What challenge did that pose to you?]
[Moreover, one of the two Adjacent Servants was swayed by you in advance...]
[This isn’t testing you, it’s clearly challenging the Librarian’s state of mind.]
[The ’Librarian’ sighed, waved his hand to summon a brilliant blue oval Teleportation Gate, and said helplessly, "Even if the endurance task now poses no difficulty to you, you still have to complete the process of the mission."]
[He had already warned you last time that although leveraging the power of plot characters is the result of your own efforts in this Chapter, relying on them to complete missions will ultimately reduce your final reward, so be mentally prepared...]
[Do you want to enter the Teleportation Gate, heading to ’Western Paradise—Mahakasyapa Dojo’?]
[You gave a few instructions to the Magical Dharma Bodhisattva without avoiding the Librarian, making the Librarian’s eyelid twitch with every word you said!]
[After the instructions were complete, you and the White Elephant Demon stepped into the Teleportation Gate...]
[The moment you touched the Teleportation Gate, ’Magical Dharma Freedom Bodhisattva’ turned into a cold Incense Fire God Statue, and her dark aura-wreathed soul vanished without a trace.]
[Transport in progress...]
[...]
[...]
[Transport Successful!]
[You opened your eyes to find yourself and the White Elephant Demon on an unfamiliar pavilion.]
[The pavilion was constructed from gold, silver, lapis lazuli, and agate—four treasures which reflected a myriad of wondrous colors.]
[Beneath the pavilion, serene waters rippled, with the bottom covered in golden sand, and the pond blooming with stunning lotuses.]
[Several cloud bridges, ethereal and misty, connected the pavilions on one end to several grand and ornate temples.]
[Mandala petals floated in the air as distant chants, harmonious and melodious, carrying the teachings of marvelous dharma, reached the ears, bringing joy and mental clarity to the listeners.]
[Suddenly, with the arrival of you and the White Elephant Demon, the serene and pure dojo transformed. The chants shifted from pleasant harmony to a deadly solemn tone, tendrils of dark energy clung to the cloud bridges, and the omnipresent Buddha Light was replaced by a surge of towering malice.]
[Because of your and the White Elephant Demon’s sudden advent, the dojo’s protector array was activated!]
[Shouts rang out continuously as figures turned into black streaks, darting through the sky towards you at high speeds!]
[In no time, dozens of female disciples surrounded the pavilion.]
[Leading them was a woman, draped in blue gauze, holding a glazed cup. She had a sensual figure and stunning looks.]
[The other Adjacent Servant of Buddha Kasyapa, the ’Bodhisattva of Wonderful Sound Lotus,’ exclaimed with furrowed brows, "Dare to invade the dojo of Buddha Kasyapa? You will be met with death without mercy!"]
[After saying this, she gave the order, and the many disciples rushed forward...]
[The killing intent in your eyes was fierce as you called to the White Elephant Senior Brother beside you and met the enemy head-on...]
[...]
[Meanwhile, the soul of the Magical Dharma Bodhisattva returned to her body. She lifted the restrictive protector seals around her and flew straight to the main hall of the dojo.]
[Whether a Buddha manifests on earth or uses the "Capture and Fire-Birth Leading Secret Method" to project their divine soul onto an Incense Fire Body and descend to the mortal realm, they always leave a trace of divine soul power in their physical body. Therefore, the flesh will never be utterly devoid of presence.]
[Leaving behind some divine soul power not only maintains the vitality of the body but also allows it to counterattack in the event of an assault, as well as enabling the descended divine soul to quickly return to its original physical form.]
[Your battle with the White Elephant Demon lured away ninety percent of the monastery’s disciples, leaving only two disciples guarding outside the main hall.]
[When the two disciples saw the Adjacent Servant of Magical Dharma in such a panic to report, they did not dare to question or block the way and immediately let him through to see Buddha Kasyapa.]
[The Magical Dharma Bodhisattva was exceedingly familiar with every item and corner of the main hall, such that he could find the entrance to the secret chamber blindfolded.]
[He didn’t expend much effort before arriving within Buddha Kasyapa’s secret chamber...]
[There, Kasyapa sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, eyes tightly closed, his body lifeless, surrounded by protective arrays that were not complex for the Magical Dharma to decipher, only requiring a little effort to break.]
[On normal days, Kasyapa would sense an intrusion as the arrays were being broken, and his divine soul would quickly return to his body in the dojo.]
[But now, even after the Magical Dharma Bodhisattva had removed the entire array, Kasyapa still had not awakened...]
[Taking a chance, Magical Dharma pressed down on Kasyapa’s bald forehead, sensing and probing for a while before heaving a long sigh of relief; the body was completely empty, lacking even the slightest trace of divine soul power.]
[The real Kasyapa had long since been destroyed by you, and naturally, the divine soul power within the physical form would dissipate along with it.]
[Magical Dharma took a bunch of miscellaneous items from his bosom, among them the Access License to the dojo and the core Magical Artifact that controlled the entire dojo’s array were all there.]
[He curled up the corners of his mouth, just about to take Kasyapa’s body and leave the secret chamber, when he suddenly remembered something.] 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
[Magical Dharma brought down a dozen hard slaps on Kasyapa’s old face, not stopping until he saw the cheeks swell slightly red, then he lifted the body and left contentedly...]
[...]
[Beneath the pavilion, the pond had long since turned blood-red, with broken corpses scattered in disarray.]
[The Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva, who served under Buddha Kasyapa, was now humiliated, lying face down on the ground. The point of a trident pressed against the back of his head; if he dared to move, the sharp spike would pierce through his skull.]
[Of all the disciples that lived, only about a dozen remained. Had you not shown mercy, none would be standing at this moment.]
[The White Elephant Demon laughed heartily as he swung his Iron Hammer, killing another disciple. The disciple’s chest was crushed by the weight of the hammer, then incinerated by the Samadhi True Fire upon it.]
[The sound of tearing through the air was heard as a figure rapidly flew through the sky.]
[The Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva felt something, slightly raised his head, and spotted his fellow disciple, Magical Dharma, rushing over from afar!]
[He was extremely angry, both at his sister disciple for only arriving now to aid and at the enemy for nearly killing all their fellow disciples, while Buddha Kasyapa had yet to make an appearance to take control of the situation.]
[He shouted loudly, "Magical Dharma! You’re foolish! Instead of looking for Buddha Kasyapa to suppress the invaders, you come here to die?"]
[Buddha Kasyapa... Sister, are you talking about this man?]
[The voice of the Magical Dharma Bodhisattva echoed through the dojo, as he flew over from a distance, carrying a limp figure.]
[The figure was dressed in a dark and simple monk’s robe for sweeping dung, emaciated with a face full of wrinkles; it could be none other than Buddha Kasyapa.]
[But this Great Buddha, once boundless in magical power, now lay with eyes closed, breathless from head to toe, carried limply in the hands of the Magical Dharma Bodhisattva, without the slightest power to resist.]
[The Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva was about to scold his sister disciple for her disrespect, but then realized something was amiss and immediately used his supernatural senses to check...]
[However, the results of his sensing left him pale with shock!]
[Buddha Kasyapa’s physical form was utterly empty, not a trace of divine soul within.]
[With a thud!]
[Kasyapa’s empty body was tossed by Magical Dharma right in front of him,]
[The Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva, looking shocked, couldn’t help but softly call out, "Buddha Kasyapa?"]
[The Magical Dharma Bodhisattva flew beside you, and addressing the remaining disciples, shouted, "The evil Buddha Kasyapa has been defeated and punished. He knew some of you had no choice and were only controlled by the evil Buddha, forced to act against your will.]
[Now he’s giving you a chance to repent and start anew...]
[But the few remaining disciples turned a deaf ear.]
[You looked towards Kasyapa’s lifeless Shell...]
[The Shell of ’The Great Kasyapa Buddha of Impure Light’: ... Affinity: +∞]
Lin Xun probed the Shell but found no option to possess it, similar to the bodies of the disciples lying on the ground.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering with numerous characters.
