786 Half Bodhisattva (2)

The Golden Crow left the wall and flapped its wings a few times. A layer of flames immediately burned on its body.

Just a fireball the size of a basketball made the first level of the pagoda burn.

“Damn it! That’s the Sun Golden Flame!”

Golden light shone on the four of them, and black smoke spewed out.

They felt pain and immediately felt that something was amiss.

They raised their hands and attacked a few times, accurately hitting the stone statue Golden Crow.

However, the Golden Crow seemed to be the same as the previous stone steps. It could not be touched at all.

As expected, their attacks all passed through and collided with the wall behind them without any value.

Shriek~

The Golden Crow ignored them and flapped its wings to fly around the pagoda.

Immediately, three feet of scorching golden flames emerged from the ground.

How could the Creation Wood kelp withstand the power of the Sun Golden Flame? The bottom was instantly burned to ashes by the flames.

The spiral staircase that had already grown to a height of ten thousand feet could only collapse.

“Damn it! If this continues, we’ll definitely be burned to death!”

The four of them helplessly landed again. Each of them threw an artifact to the ground to block the burning of the Sun Golden Flame.

However, the crow above flew another round, and the flames on the ground rose three feet again.

The defensive artifacts under their feet had all reached the Earth-rank, but they were still burning and creaking.

The cracks on the artifact continuously spread. It seemed that it could not last long.

The Golden Crow above them continued to circle.

If they continued to stay here, no matter how strong they were, they would be refined into ashes.

“Wait, there are words on those steps!”

At this moment, Daoist Death Gate suddenly noticed the stone steps that he could not step on earlier.

Under the illumination of the Sun Golden Flame, words began to appear on the illusory stone slabs.

That might be the key to using the stone steps.

On the first step, it was written.

“Sentient beings in the lands of the ten directions who sincerely and joyfully entrust themselves to me, desire to be born in my land, and call my Name, even ten times, should not be born there, may I not attain perfect Enlightenment.”

Daoist Five Plague instinctively read out the words on it.

Immediately, a stream of spiritual qi was extracted from his body and entered the steps.

The stone steps emitted light as Daoist Five Plague climbed up.

This time, he finally stepped on it.

However, the stone steps were only three feet tall, not enough for him to escape the flames.

Daoist Five Plague hurriedly continued to chant the scripture.

On the second step, it was written.

“Thus have I heard. At one time the Buddha was staying on the Vulture Peak in Rājagrha with a large company of twelve thousand monks.”

The steps emitted light again, and indeed, they became corporeal.

However, the only one who could touch the stone steps was Daoist Five Plague.

When the other two saw that this was feasible, they immediately followed suit and jumped higher and higher with Daoist Five Plague.

On the third step.

“Each of these bodhisattvas, following the virtues of the mahāsattva Samantabhadra, is endowed with the immeasurable practices and vows of the Bodhisattva Path, and firmly dwells in all the meritorious deeds. He freely travels in all ten quarters and employs skillful means of emancipation. He enters the treasury of the Dharma of the Buddhas, and reaches the Other Shore.”

Then, there were the fourth and fifth levels.

“The roots of wisdom are broad and calm. Deep in the Dharma Treasury of Bodhisattva, obtain the essence of Buddhism, and preach all classics. Stay deep in the door and see the current infinite Buddhas. In a short period of time, all of them are recorded…”

The flames continued to rise. The three of them were forced to jump to higher steps.

On the ground, only Jiang Li was left.

However, the Human Emperor’s successor had no intention of moving.

“This scripture is strange!”

Jiang Li’s Divine Statue clone could be considered to have studied Buddhist Dharma. Although his main body had never cultivated it, he knew everything that his clone knew.

After discussing with Qiu Shui, he could memorize all kinds of scriptures.

Therefore, he recognized the scripture at a glance. It was the Immeasurable Life Sutra of Buddha Dipankara.

This scripture was indeed profound, but why was there only half of each sentence?

“Golden-nosed White-Haired Rat, Madam Earth Rush. I remember that she has another name. I think it’s called… Half Bodhisattva!”

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.

Scriptures could not be recited casually.

He was 80% sure that there must be a trap hidden in these scriptures and steps.

Moreover, the Golden Crow did not spit fire at them. Instead, the flames rose from the ground bit by bit.

From the looks of it, it was clearly forcing them to chant scriptures and step onto the steps.

There was definitely something amiss.

The three reincarnations of the Immortals and Gods could roughly see this.

However, what they cultivated were all unorthodox and evil methods. They were countered by the righteous Yang attribute golden flame.

They had no choice.

This was actually similar to Jiang Li.

His fundamental cultivation method was the Yin-Wood dual-attribute Nine Nether Dao Scripture. It was almost perfectly countered by Yang fire.

However, the many statuses on Jiang Li’s body still gave him a little confidence.

The ice crystal shield beneath his feet was finally completely burned by the flames.

Flames that had already reached 30 feet swept towards him.

The flames burned his Dao Body and could cause him harm, but he could still endure it.

All the burns that appeared would recover immediately. The Nine Nether spiritual qi that was burned would also immediately be replenished.

If nothing unexpected happened, he could stay here for a long time.

He used the apertures and pores in his body to release the cold qi in his body.

The endless cold qi from the Northern Ice Plains could make him feel more comfortable.

Jiang Li sat down cross-legged. He first put away the few artifacts on him to prevent them from being burned by the Sun Golden Flame.

Then, he took out a Yin-Yang Great Ultimate Stone disc and threw it to the ground.

After wiping a bit of the Human Emperor’s Golden Blood on it, he raised his hand and formed hand seals. He used the Great Ultimate Principle Domain to activate the Great Ultimate Stone disc.

Apart from being a token, this stone tray was also an extremely powerful artifact.

Activating the stone plate, the surrounding sun golden flames were immediately drawn in in large amounts, lighting up the white Yang Fish on the Great Ultimate Stone.

Then, Jiang Li pointed at it, causing the Yin Fish to light up.

With the help of the countless souls below Tragic Death City, the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame that had already successfully grown nine heads was thrown into the Great Ultimate Stone disc.

These two flames, one Yin and one Yang, could complement each other.

Now, he was only missing two fish eyes.

Jiang Li took out another shield and yellow cloth.

He took out the Anti-Cultivation Spiritual Bead from the sealed shield.

After going to the Fire Cloud Cave, this pearl became not so ferocious and ruthless. Jiang Li could already freely control the release of the anti-cultivation domain.

He placed it on the Yin Eye of the Yang Fish.

He carefully undid the apricot yellow flag and took out the blood-red eyeball.

This eyeball that was originally filled with malice towards Jiang Li did not attack him anymore. Instead, it lay quietly in his hand.

Just as he had speculated previously, the memory of the will of heaven and earth was not good.

It only recognized marks and merit, not anything else.

Jiang Li did not have a mark on his body and there was a Merit Blood Lotus above his head. He was an important VIP of the Asura World. How could this eyeball hurt him?

Jiang Li placed the blood-colored eyeball on the Yang eye in the Yin Fish.

The two eyeballs returned to their positions. He formed hand seals again and the Great Ultimate Stone disc spun.

The Yin and Yang flames on the Great Ultimate Stone disc surged and complemented each other. They began to continuously purify and refine these two eyeballs.

Jiang Li sat down cross-legged.

He took out three crystal clear and flawless beautiful lotus flowers.

It was the precious treasure he had obtained from the Divine Judgment Hall, the Three Treasures Mystic Flower.

Under the burning of the sun flames, the current successor of the Human Emperor actually did not think of escaping. Instead, he wanted to use this precious land to directly condense the three flowers above his head and break through to the Earth Immortal realm.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he silently adjusted his condition to the best.

Then, he held three strange flowers in his hand.

The Three Treasures Mystic Flowers turned into crystal dust and were sucked into his body.

Then, the dust split into three. One entered his Qi Sea and fused with his spiritual qi, one entered his Sea of Consciousness and fused with his Essence Soul, and the last dissipated into his limbs and bones, fusing with his Dao Body.

When the light spots formed by these strange flowers combined with the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, they would slowly rise to the top of his head and gather into the three flowers.

At that time, Jiang Li would become an Earth Immortal.
