The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 851 - 394: Yin Yang Contest (Part 2)

As it spoke, the first Purple Gold Bell trembled in response.

In an instant, the gentle wind roared, stirring Xu Qing's primordial spirit and causing the protective azure light around him to collapse inch by inch. He pointed like a sword across his brow, and the Five-Colored Divine Light surged from his Mud Ball Palace, forming a canopy of Five Elements Reincarnation in the void.

"Li Fire gives birth to Kun Earth, Kan Water nourishes Xun Wood—transform!" Xu Qing stepped onto the Eight Diagram position, and the azure wood, transformed by divine light, grew wildly in the wind, creating towering barriers on both banks of the Yellow Springs.

The wraiths in the Yellow Springs were blown by the wind, but when they hit the Wood Armor Barrier, they instantly transformed into flying phosphorous flames.

Seeing this, the Golden Light Immortal shook the second golden bell, releasing flames that could burn the heavens.

This fire was no ordinary fire; it was the Six Ding Divine Fire forged in the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, causing space to warp and even evaporating the Yellow Springs Water into scarlet blood mist.

"Well done!" Xu Qing laughed aloud, the five-colored canopy rolled down.

The Northern Xuanming True Water derived from the Innate Water Element Path collided with the divine fire, manifesting the ghostly images of Azure Dragon and White Tiger in the steaming clouds.

The thin black Divine Dog seized the opportunity to leap into the cloud mist, its form expanding a hundredfold, ripping apart the auspicious clouds protecting the Golden Light Immortal.

When the third golden bell rang, chaos suddenly descended upon the heavens and the earth.

In the rolling poison smoke, countless illusions appeared. His heart trembled slightly, and suddenly he heard the barking of the thin black Divine Dog: "Daoist, wake quickly! This is the unformed pill resentment from the Furnace of Eight Trigrams!"

The Five-Colored Divine Light suddenly contracted like silk, and Xu Qing pointed in the void to write the Yellow Court.

The golden scripture pierced through the poisonous mist, shining upon the Guanyin restraint transformed by the golden hoop on the Golden Light Immortal's head. The demon beast immediately howled and rolled, with the Purple Gold Bell clanging to the ground.

"I see." Xu Qing levitated the golden bell over, only to discover Brahma characters inscribed inside: "Om Mani Padme Hum," representing Immeasurable Light, also known as Amitabha's Six-Word Brightness Mantra.

Suddenly, the Yellow Springs Water parted to the sides, revealing eerie white bones beneath the riverbed. The thin black Divine Dog sniffed at the air, suddenly standing upright: "This... this is the remains of the Great Roc!"

Xu Qing focused his gaze, seeing a hundred-zhang-long gilded skeleton with tail feathers of blue and black color, symbolizing wind and thunder.

Embedded within the skull of the remains was a piece of Glazed Relic.

The thin black Divine Dog also saw the Glazed Relic and exclaimed in shock: "The relic of the Ancient Buddha of Lamp, Daoist..."

Before it finished speaking, Xu Qing understood the thin black Divine Dog's intent, which was for him to seize the relic.

It turns out there are three lamps in the world: one is the Treasure Lotus Lamp of Empress Hua, another the Eight Sceneries Palace Lamp, and the last is the Spirit Coffin Lamp of the Ancient Buddha of Lamp.

This Glazed Relic is the Spirit Coffin Lamp.

Xu Qing observed for a moment but did not take the relic.

He suddenly looked ahead.

A mass of black clouds poured down like mountains and seas.

Before long, amid the golden roar appeared a thick-browed, big-eyed Demon King, laughing heartily: "Ah Huang, how could you be bullied by this young upstart like this."

"Black Bear, spare your sarcasm. This kid has cultivated the Five-Colored Divine Light of Peacock Ming King; you're no match for him either."

The Black Bear Demon King looked at Xu Qing, "Kid, do you insist on crossing the Yin Mountain today?"

"Passing tomorrow is fine with me, I'm not in a hurry." Xu Qing smiled.

Hearing this, the Black Bear Demon King laughed until he held his belly, "Interesting, interesting."

The Golden Roar said, "Black Bear, are you going to make a move or not? I've already played my hand."

The Black Bear Demon King glanced at it, "Ah Huang, weren't you holding back just now?"

The Golden Roar got anxious, "You know full well the power of this Five-Colored Divine Light, don't slander me."

The Black Bear Demon King rubbed his fists, "It's not the first time you've worked inefficiently."

The Golden Roar fell silent.

The Black Bear Demon King continued to look at Xu Qing, "Kid, the Five-Colored Divine Light is indeed powerful, but I possess innate divine strength, unafraid of your Five Elements Imprisonment, so let's change to a literary duel."

Xu Qing smiled: "How do you propose a literary duel?"

Black Bear Demon King: "I'll recite the Heart Sutra. If, after I finish, your heart intent hasn't changed, you win."

The thin black Divine Dog transmitted sound: "Daoist, that Heart Sutra was passed by Master Wuchao and contains the fundamental essence of the Buddhist Sect, you must be cautious."

Nevertheless, it didn't advise Xu Qing to directly confront the Black Bear.

Because this one's physical power doesn't fall short of the True Monarch of Wonderful Dao, it is one of the formidable beings among the Three Realms and Six Paths who rarely rely on magical treasures or weapons.

If Xu Qing were to battle it with just his primordial spirit, he would certainly suffer a loss.

Having heard this, Xu Qing softly spoke, "Then according to what the Black Bear Daoist said."

The Black Bear Demon King smiled faintly, "I don't enjoy battling in life, being able to resolve issues so amicably is indeed for the best."

As its words fell, its fan-like bear paws clasped together.

Xu Qing suddenly noticed the Buddha beads on its wrist were strung with Bodhi Tree Seeds. As the Brahma voice sounded, the Yellow Springs Canyon blossomed with Utpala Flowers, with golden scripture from stamens weaving into the form of the Embroidered Jiasha in the air.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, practicing deeply in the Prajna Paramita…"

With the utterance of the first word, the Five-Colored Divine Light within Xu Qing's Mud Ball Palace suddenly stalled.

The thin black Divine Dog suddenly howled skyward, and within its howl was a terrifying pressure far surpassing its current cultivation: "Daoist, beware! This Brahma chant is altering causality!"

But it was too late; shadows had now appeared in Xu Qing's vision.

A Bodhi Treasure Banner hung over the Yellow Springs Canyon at some unknown time, and numerous wraiths were shedding their hostility within the Buddha light.

"Seeing that the aggregates are empty, transcends all suffering…"

The bear spirit's chanting became increasingly solemn, and with each verse it recited, a golden lotus bloomed beneath its feet. Xu Qing was startled to find his Daoist robe fading in color, with the Five-Colored Divine Light seemingly transforming into the Seven Treasures of Buddhism.

He smiled placidly, as if having anticipated this.

Meanwhile, within Xu Qing's primordial spirit, the Innate Taiyi Dao Seed continued its unending rotation.

Under the mysterious Dao Rhyme, the Great Roc remains at the canyon's bottom suddenly trembled, and the cyan-black tail feathers shot out, unfurling titanic wings behind Xu Qing.

At this moment, the Yin Yang Qi of Xu Qing's primordial spirit completely infused into these storm-inducing titanic wings.

Turns out, Xu Qing had already used his Taiyi Technique to deduce the use of the remains.

At the same time, Xu Qing pointed and slashed his palm. Blood containing the essence of Innate Five Elements was sprinkled on the Glazed Relic, igniting the azure flame of the Spirit Coffin Lamp.

This light permeated the Three Thousand Worlds, burning holes into the Buddha light kasaya of the bear spirit.

The Golden Roar suddenly erupted, the Purple Gold Bell transforming into a Samadhi Fire Wheel as it charged at the Spirit Coffin Lamp.

The thin black Divine Dog transformed into a Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Form, each of its six paws wielding mourning sticks, soul summoning banners, and other Netherworld Artifacts, forcibly holding up the Fire Wheel.

The canyon walls crumbled in the collision, revealing densely packed stone engravings of the Diamond Sutra within.

The incalculable sand-like scripture formed layers of barriers, locking Xu Qing and the colossal wings in place.

Xu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing these scriptures.

Meanwhile, the thin black Divine Dog and the Golden Roar fought fiercely without a clear winner.

At this time, the thin black Divine Dog unleashed a power far exceeding its current physical vessel, its eyes increasingly filled with a gray-white hue.

Seeing this, the Golden Roar said: "Black Dog, out of respect for Ksitigarbha, I won't fight you to the death, but if that kid can escape, it's by his creation."

The thin black Divine Dog replied: "Why do you toil for Guanyin Bodhisattva? Help me this time, and when I find my master, I'll help you escape this endless cycle of suffering."

The Golden Roar sneered: "Within the sea of suffering of this world, where could I escape?"

The thin black Divine Dog retorted: "You've truly disgraced the Jie Sect."

Its words struck a nerve in the Golden Roar, which said: "What do you know…"

One black, one yellow, the two divine beasts passionately bickered.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing remained comfortably composed.

The scriptures of the Diamond Sutra indeed held the wonder of the world.

On the other hand, since this was the Heart Sutra, its restraint on the primordial spirit was unique among the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Within the scripture barriers, Xu Qing temporarily couldn't find a way to break free.

But he didn't possess only the wonder of the Yin Yang Five Elements Dao; he also had the Innate Taiyi Dao Seed within him.

His eyes were like black holes, continuously absorbing the exquisite scriptures and channeling them into the Taiyi Dao Seed. The Innate Taiyi Dao silently operated, gradually allowing the profound meaning of the Diamond Sutra script to melt like snow, infusing into Xu Qing's heart.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as Xu Qing imagined.

As the Heart Sutra was digested by the Taiyi Dao Seed, a lotus suddenly blossomed silently deep within Xu Qing's primordial spirit.

Inside was the apparition of Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus.
