Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1246 - 556: Six Degrees of Auspiciousness, the True Body of the Great Bodhisattva_2
[The Bodhisattva God Statue’s countenance was beautiful, with a broad forehead adorned in the center by a white Urna that symbolized wisdom. Eyebrows slender as willow leaves and eyes curved like the new moon, the gaze held both compassion and wisdom.]
[The Bodhisattva was dressed in a double-collared, flowing Heavenly Clothes, with a magnificent Great Necklace adorning the chest, and the edges of the garment were exquisitely decorated with entwined floral designs.]
[Not only did the hall house the great Bodhisattva’s statue, but the walls were also adorned with murals depicting the great Bodhisattva’s divine likeness.]
[The most striking was a mural of the great Bodhisattva riding on a white elephant.]
[The Bodhisattva sat in a half-lotus position atop the six-tusked white elephant with an elegant and solemn pose, while the six-tusked white elephant stood erect on all four legs, feet resting upon a lotus pedestal, its wrinkled flesh, long ears and tusks, trunk hanging to the ground, saddle-adorned back, and a headdress made of colorful ribbons, all displaying an air of opulence.]
[You observed several murals, each featuring the silhouette of the six-tusked white elephant, a far different status and circumstance from that of your White Elephant Senior Brother in the presence of the "Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva".]
[You promptly inquired. You had been with the White Elephant Demon for a long time and knew each other inside out, so there was no need for pretense or to save face. The White Elephant Demon, somewhat embarrassed, said to you...]
[Junior brother, that six-tusked white elephant is named ’Sixu Bianji’, the old ancestor of a different breed of elephant demons. Its strength and cultivation are far superior to mine, I reckon it’s about the same level as you are now.]
[Sixu Bianji is the foremost mount of Right Attendant Bodhisattva, possessing great divine powers that reach the heavens.]
[You also knew of the important role your senior brother played in the Bodhisattva Sect, mainly guarding the dojo and protecting the premises, and due to this significant duty, he seldom went out, hence not widely known.]
[Our Bodhisattva Sect’s leading mount is a golden-haired, blue-faced lion named ’Gara Viri’, the scruffy creature you often see in the Thangka paintings of Qingtang City...]
Lin Xun: "..."
It’s hard to say it, but he didn’t want to poke at White Elephant Senior Brother’s sore spot.
Even though the senior brother’s current strength wasn’t much, he was one of the rare ’lucid ones’ in the world. The two brothers had traveled eastward together, sharing joys and sorrows, and their companionship was genuine and solid.
"The Demon Clan always talks about Bloodline Inheritance; could I defeat that ’Sixu Bianji’ to bolster the senior brother’s strength?"
White Elephant Senior Brother also had the Dual Cultivation Method. After Bloodline Inheritance and refining his spiritual soul’s strength, he could then use Divinity Props to enhance his realm.
Of course, as ironclad as the brotherly relationship was, it had not reached the point of dual cultivation that crossed genders. Finding a female Bodhisattva adept in dual cultivation for White Elephant Senior Brother could also lead to advancement.
[After the White Elephant Demon left, you propelled the Shell of the ’Son of Evil’, donning ’Emperor Wu’s Human Skin Mask’.]
[Impersonating Emperor Wu, you offered incense to the Bodhisattva God Statue and bowed in homage, calling for its descent to show saint.]
[While offering incense and calling out, you held the Immortal Binding Rope, prepared to use the item in hand immediately after the Bodhisattva’s descent...]
Lin Xun hadn’t used the Invoking Mantra because using it directly might summon the Extreme Evil Bodhisattva.
He could only use the identity of Emperor Wu to call for the Bodhisattva’s descent with the Power of Incense Fire.
If the person who descended could be firmly bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, it would prove that the actual body of the Bodhisattva had descended.
If it couldn’t be bound, that would be quite dangerous.
In Lin Xun’s mind, there were two dangerous scenarios: First, if the Extreme Evil Bodhisattva did not see through his identity, the danger level wasn’t too high; perhaps he could muddle through with his Supreme Level ’Great Deception Spell’.
Second, if the Extreme Evil Bodhisattva identified him as an enemy, then Lin Xun could only immediately offer the ’Imperial Jade Seal’, trying to eliminate the enemy’s malice, and then... run for it.
[As the wisps of incense smoke climbed, a powerful presence seemed to have sensed your call...]
[...]
[The cold and lifeless god statue on the altar suddenly transformed, its body’s skin becoming soft, pale, and the originally rigid and compassionate face turned vibrant and animated.]
[Eventually, the statue became a lively and beautiful woman, who stepped down from the altar.]
[You immediately used the ’Immortal Binding Rope’; the rope in your hands turned into a red beam of light, wrapping around the woman’s graceful body in an instant.]
[With a clatter, the red rope fell to the ground without successfully binding the figure.]
[The woman ignored the red rope and gracefully approached you, her brows slightly furrowed as she said, "Were you not commanded by the Yama God to journey across the sea to the east? How come, you’ve returned upon completing your business?"]
[Looking into the woman’s dark eyes filled with Malice, as she came closer, you could clearly feel the formidable pressure emanating from her beautiful body!] 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
[A chill ran from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.]
[You discovered the ’Third Mantra Bodhisattva’!]
"Dammit! I called for the true body of the Bodhisattva to come down, not for you..."
"It’s always what I fear that comes to pass!"
Lin Xun couldn’t help but grit his teeth in frustration.
[You maintained your composure, channeling the Malice stored within your body; tendrils of Malice wrapped around you, churning violently in your eyes.]
[You chuckled lightly and said, "The Eastern Mysterious Sea is nothing but boundless waters, and by my side are merely a few mortal concubines. Compared to the Bodhisattva, they are dreadfully dull. Recently I have lost all desire for food and drink, as my thoughts are occupied with the Bodhisattva. I thus returned to the Imperial Palace to meet you."]
[Saying this, you reached out with both hands, attempting to embrace the woman’s delicate body.]
[The ’Third Mantra Bodhisattva’ subtly stepped back half a pace to evade your touch...]
[The Bodhisattva said with a solemn and subdued voice, "How can the command of the Yama God be taken lightly? Don’t confuse priorities!"]
[As She spoke, She harnessed Great Magical Power, her voice like a booming bell causing the Treasure Hall to shake!]
