"You are Bodhisattvas of the Buddhist Sect, how can you act like fiends, attacking to rob and committing all manner of evil. Seeing my divine powers are strong, you want to refine me. Doesn't the Buddhist Sect preach ferrying all living beings and harboring compassion? You are more vicious and savage than the most malignant heavenly demons." Fang Han had not anticipated that this "Bodhisattva Baogen" would attack without any warning, intending to kill him, thoroughly refine him, and plunder his divine powers.
While his mind rapidly flashed with thoughts, his mouth feigned an innocent appearance as he roared continuously, executing magic power to protect himself.
"The heart of compassion is spoken to ordinary living beings. Against people who are also at the Longevity Secret Realm, the Bodhisattva realm, there is only the butcher's knife. Killing one person makes a First Stage Bodhisattva, killing ten makes a Second Stage Bodhisattva, killing a hundred makes a Third Stage Bodhisattva." Bodhisattva Baogen's face remained utterly impassive, showing no mercy with his hands. "Drop the butcher's knife, become a Buddha on the spot; the heavier the butcher's knife, the deeper the Buddha nature. Empty is empty and false is false, false is false and empty is empty, neither false nor empty, neither empty nor false. If you hadn't cultivated the Great Liberation Spell and Great Crossing Spell, I wouldn't have raised my hand against you, and naturally would have treated you with compassion. But possessing these two secret spells has moved my heart. Obtaining the divine powers of your two secret spells, after comprehending them, I can take a further step, comprehend time rules, achieve a Fourth Stage Bodhisattva, and elevate my status countless times."
Bodhisattva Baogen's divine sense flickered, simply peerless in speed. Underneath his broad, thick palms, the massive Cave Heaven thoroughly enveloped Fang Han, wrapping Fang Han entirely within it.
His Cave Heaven was a golden Buddha Nation, filled with distorted golden colors everywhere. The powerful force of spatial rules vibrated all around, stirring Fang Han inside like a meat grinder.
Fang Han's mind stirred, preparing to execute the Wheel of Reincarnation to blow up this space, but he thought of a good idea. Thus, instead of revealing his true strength, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a turtle-shell-shaped canopy that enveloped his entire body. He allowed Bodhisattva Baogen's Cave Heaven to rotate, the space to twist, sever, agitate, and crush, feigning the appearance of being trapped.
In reality, given Fang Han's strength, encountering an expert of spatial rules indeed put him slightly at a disadvantage, making it easy to be trapped. Of course, executing the Wheel of Reincarnation could blast him out. However, he had other thoughts now, only using the "Great Protection Spell" to guard himself, refraining from using anything else at all.
"Great Protection Spell! Among the Three Thousand Great Daos, the strongest protection method. How do you know so many of the Three Thousand Great Daos!"
From within the Cave Heaven, the shock of "Bodhisattva Baogen" was transmitted.
"You all, swiftly enter my Cave Heaven. Use the Buddha Fire Vajra Wisdom King Nirvana Great Array, combined with the spatial power of my Cave Heaven, to refine this person. Plunder his divine powers."
Swish swish swish swish swish.
In Fang Han's keen perception, seven powerful forces suddenly appeared inside "Bodhisattva Baogen's" Cave Heaven. Within the distorted Cave Heaven space, seven lotus platforms appeared, manifesting seven Bodhisattvas who had cultivated to the Undying Body, Second Stage Bodhisattvas. Fang Han saw at a glance that these were all the experts Bodhisattva Baogen had brought.
"Bodhisattva Mahasattva, Vajra Wisdom King, Vajra Wisdom King, Buddha's Wrathful Karmic Fire, Buddha's Wrathful Karmic Fire. Refining wicked demons, silencing the world."
As soon as the seven major Bodhisattvas flew into the Cave Heaven, they took their designated positions, enveloping Fang Han. Then, golden flames manifested on their bodies. Each one having three heads and six arms, with a vertical eye between their brows, they descended upon Fang Han to refine him.
"You, you are truly daring to the extreme sky. Do you know who I am? I am the Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect in the Xuanhuang Great World, Taihantian. To think you dare attempt to refine me, my Taiyi Sect will not spare you." Fang Han roared continuously.
"Hmm? A Supreme Elder of the Xuanhuang Great World's first sect, the Taiyi Sect?" That Bodhisattva Baogen was visibly stunned. "It's not that I am unaware of the Taiyi Sect. The status of a Supreme Elder is the same as mine; one absolutely must have comprehended spatial rules. You only possess the cultivation of an Undying Body, how could you possibly become a Supreme Elder? But it's hard to say. The fact that you have cultivated so many of the Three Thousand Great Daos implies your power is also seven or eight times that of an ordinary Undying Body. With such potential, even my Buddha Realm would utilize you heavily. Clearly, you are a person possessing massive providence. However, falling into my hands today, you have absolutely no chance at all. What does the Taiyi Sect amount to? Even the entire Xuanhuang Great World is of no regard in the eyes of my Buddhist Sect. Continue refining."
Instantly, much more violent flames wrapped around Fang Han's Great Protection Spell, burning with a searing sizzle.
"Are you not afraid that I will fight to the death, detonate my body, and break open your Cave Heaven?" Fang Han roared continually.
"Go ahead and try, hmph! I have comprehended spatial rules for over thirty thousand years, maneuvering them profoundly and with incomparable vigor. If you detonate yourself, it simply saves me the effort of refining. I will absorb your abilities directly." Bodhisattva Baogen's cold voice transmitted down.
Fang Han knew that the opponent was speaking the truth.
The reason the Cave Heaven Realm was a myth, a legend, was because once the Cave Heaven enveloped down, anyone of a lower cultivation essentially had no ability to resist, unless they were like Fang Han, possessing a supreme quality Dao artifact and able to urge it.
"Refine!"
Bodhisattva Baogen's voice surged down once again. The entire Cave Heaven twisted, with the power of space vibrating and severing everywhere. Streams of Buddha fire flowed down, within which there were even roaring demon deities, appearing like absolute ancient heavenly demons crossed over by the Buddha, awakening from their dreams.
Fang Han tightly guarded himself, continually pretending to let out various roaring and howling showing extreme anger, appearing as if he could somewhat hardly withstand it.
"Bodhisattva Baogen, this person is exceptionally formidable, and the Great Protection Spell is incredibly miraculous. Even if we can refine him, I fear it won't be accomplished in a day or two. If matters are delayed, I'm afraid we won't be able to answer to above." Suddenly, a Second Stage Bodhisattva said.
"That matters not. I am already closely tracking the God Race's Son of God, and that little girl Ah Huan Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Race." Bodhisattva Baogen said: "You all just remain inside my Cave Heaven and continue to refine this person, suppressing him so he cannot move. While amidst the thunder, I will tail the Dragon Emperor and Son of God to see what results their search yields."
Amidst the violent thunder, Bodhisattva Baogen sat properly on the lotus platform, his body continually shuttling through many parallel spaces. Whenever thunder bombarded toward his body, by the time it struck, he had already moved to another parallel space, letting the thunder pass right through.
His entire silhouette drifted erratically, seeming partly real and partly illusory, employing spatial rules to an unprecedented extreme, manifesting the powerful strength and cultivation of this Bodhisattva Baogen.
"This is truly fortunate providence, fortunate providence. Relying on the meritorious virtue I've cultivated, I surprisingly managed to capture a genius Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect, Taihantian. I can obtain the cultivation methods for numerous Three Thousand Great Daos! The Three Thousand Great Daos! Each one contains earth-shattering and heaven-battering mysteries; the more you cultivate, the greater your future achievements. The Buddha Lord once told me that with my aptitude, cultivating to a Third Stage Bodhisattva and comprehending spatial rules is already my limit. Unless I encounter immensely grand providence, I won't be able to break through, otherwise I would stop right here, ultimately reaching Nirvana and dying after tens of thousands of years. Now this major providence of mine has arrived."
As Bodhisattva Baogen shuttled through the air, he thought inwardly, extremely pleased, a trace of a smile appearing on his face. Within that smile, he pointed a finger, and a dot of circular light appeared at his heart, faintly revealing the silhouettes of Ah Huan Dragon Emperor and the group from the God Race.
This group distorted and shuttled, gradually entering deep into the Mad Thunder Absolute Prison.
"The thunder here is becoming more and more severe, and space is beginning to solidify. Even I am somewhat unable to withstand it. Fortunately, I brought the Original Vow Kasaya bestowed by the Buddha Lord, a supreme quality Dao artifact that has received the empowerment of great majesty." Seeing the thunder within the Mad Thunder Absolute Prison grow increasingly violent, where surprisingly even transparent Immortal Realm void thunder punishments fine as gossamer appeared.
Even with his cultivation, he was highly apprehensive. His body flickered, evading, and he subsequently draped a kasaya on. This kasaya was woven together with peacock feathers, adorned with various rare treasures, and featured many properly seated Buddhas, forming a pattern of myriad spirits paying homage to the Buddha.
As soon as it was draped on his body, the thunder light around him diminished significantly.
The Original Vow Kasaya, an upper-grade Dao artifact.
"Hmm? There is a situation!"
Just as Bodhisattva Baogen draped on the Original Vow Kasaya, the circular light upon his hand began to change. Then, within the circular light, he saw that in the deeper reaches of the Mad Thunder Absolute Prison, there surprisingly appeared a massive electric egg composed entirely of thunder power.
This colossal electric egg was a thousand miles in diameter, akin to an absolute ancient meteorite, suspended within the thunder. Innumerable bolts of thunder in all directions formed a dense grid, seemingly guarding this giant electric egg.
Around the electric grid, many titan spirits condensed from powerful thunder power roamed about, appearing to protect this giant thunder egg from harm.
"What exactly is that thing? To think the thunder power in this Mad Thunder Absolute Prison would act as a Dharma protector for the existence within the giant egg?" Bodhisattva Baogen said in shock: "The thunder in this Mad Thunder Absolute Prison is eternally immortal, with vast power, generating ceaselessly. Anyone entering it would suffer a devastating blow. Why does the existence within that giant egg still receive the protection of thunder power? Could it be?"
With a swish, he flew fiercely toward it.
At this very moment, in front of this absolute-ancient-meteorite-like giant egg, Ah Huan Dragon Emperor and the God Race's Son of God had also appeared here.
"Son of God Yaoli. You have been sneaking behind me for a long time, do you think I am unaware?"
Ah Huan Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Race gazed at this giant egg from afar, not daring to act rashly, halting her advance. She suddenly shouted out.
"Ah Huan Dragon Emperor, it seems you have cultivated some secret technique, surprisingly aware of my presence." That Son of God also walked out from the thunder, regarding Ah Huan Dragon Emperor: "We both have discovered this giant thunder and lightning egg in the Mad Thunder Absolute Prison. In my view, there's no need to fight for now. Let us first see if what is inside this giant thunder and lightning egg is the very thing we are looking for."
"Furthermore, Bodhisattva Baogen, there's no need for you to sneak about anymore either. Come out." This Son of God Yaoli flicked his sleeves.
"My Buddha is compassionate. Son of God Yaoli, your Dao spells are profound, you were actually able to discover this old monk." Bodhisattva Baogen walked out, alike staring fixedly at that huge thunder and lightning egg.
