Big Bodhi - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Compassion

“This can’t be!”

The black-clothed girl’s ghostly claws melted away inch by inch under the golden light, turning into a trail of smoke and festering away in just a few breaths.

Ji Yuenian raised his head slightly, a little bit of golden stars was reflected in the bright eyes, and under the shroud of brilliant golden light, the break of his arms was actually intertwined with countless dense golden rays, and it was not long before they renewed. Two complete arms came out after weaving.

At the same time, the light from his divine Palace acupuncture point soaked out, passing through two important acupuncture points, the divine Que and Jiang Gong acupuncture points, and spreading through 36 meridians, completely washing his soul, body and meridians.

Wherever the golden aura passed, a dark substance seeped out from Ji Yue Nian’s body and eventually coalesced into a large, foul-smelling black ball that hovered silently in mid-air.

The girl in black had already withdrawn a few dozen feet away and was now standing in place, looking at Ji Yue Nian with a shocked expression as if he had been transformed.

“Who the hell are you to have a true skill that can cleanse the soul and purify the marrow?”

As the name implies, Soul Cleansing and Purity of Marrow can purify the soul, meridians and so on from the inside out, not only increasing the purity of the Heart Flame to a great extent, but also increasing the true spiritual heritage in an invisible way.

The Soul Cleansing Pith is only rumoured to exist within the Yuan Yan realm, and no living being has ever actually done it.

But rumours do not mean that it does not exist, and this piece of “Buddha Mantra for the Purification of the Soul”, which originated from the Lohja Sacred Mountain, has the astounding effect of cleansing the soul and purifying the marrow at the very beginning of its practice, and this is only its foundation.

Ji Yue Nian glanced at her calmly and did not reply, but flipped his palm and took the foul-smelling black ball suspended at his side into his hand. The black ball shrank under the pressure of the golden light, and was finally put into a white jade vase that appeared in the shadow of Ji Yue Nian and put away.

This object is called “spiritual ashes,” and it is an impurity that exists in any living being. However, for ordinary creatures, it is as difficult to get the ashes out of the body.

At this moment, he had not only stripped the spirit ash from his body, but also reshaped his two arms with the power of the Buddha’s light, so he was truly transformed.

When the girl in black looked at Ji Yue Nian, who seemed to be turning his head to look at himself after collecting the spirit ashes, the ghostly qi around his body subconsciously surged up furiously, and his eyes flickered slightly, obviously having the intention to retreat.

“Do you know what it means to cross the spirits?”

Ji Yue Nian’s eyes were slightly raised as he looked at the young girl in black and spoke softly.

He was already very handsome, and after his soul cleansing and marrow purification, his appearance had even undergone some extremely obvious changes.

His long black hair fell down like a waterfall, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyebrows were like paintings, and he was as beautiful as can be.

“How should I know, don’t ask me!” The black-clothed girl was looked at by Ji Yue Nian’s quiet eyes, and her tone was unconsciously a little flustered, barely pulling out a smile as she reached out and pointed overhead, “The rain is too heavy, I’ll go find a place to hide first.”

After the words were over, she didn’t hesitate at all, and turned her head straight, her whole body turned into a strong ghost, and disappeared into the rain curtain for a moment.

To the formerly weak Ji Yue Nian, she was a hideous ghost; but in front of the now transformed Ji Yue Nian, she was no different from a mortal girl, with the same complex emotions of fear, admiration, worry and fear.

The young man remained standing still, roaring and raging in the pouring rain, but was completely blocked by a translucent light gold screen before it fell on his head.

As he murmured, Ji Yue Nian’s pale and slender palm faintly gripped, golden light flowed, and a few breaths later, a long bow of brilliant gold coalesced from his hand.

“There are only three incantations in the Transmigration Buddha Incantation, and the first incantation is called, the Great Compassion Incantation.”

The bow was bent.

In a few moments, a blazing golden arrow of light appeared from the centre of the bowstring.

Ji Yue Nian gently let go of his hand.

Boom!

An extremely bright golden rainbow pierced through the curtain of rain, penetrating with a blazing aura that reflected heaven and earth!

A moment later, an incomparable ghostly howl reached his ears, but the hissing sound only lasted for a moment before it abruptly stopped.

The ghostly creature of the upper Xuan realm, the girl in black, had her ghostly body annihilated and her true spirit destroyed.

The Great Compassion Mantra is the most basic mantra among the three styles of the Buddha Mantra of Crossing Spirits.

Puff.

The golden light around Ji Yue Nian’s body faded away and he fell straight into the muddy water.

Fortunately, after the ghostly creature’s ghostly body had been annihilated, a huge amount of pure ghostly energy escaped, which was distantly taken in by the enhanced and terrifying psychic karma fire, and Ji Yue Nian was able to transform some of his own mystical energy from it by using his heart fire, so he could barely stand up.

Even though there was a trace of real Buddha’s power that came from the Transmigration Buddha Mantra at the beginning of its practice, this trace of Buddha’s power was all consumed in Ji Yue Nian’s soul cleansing and marrow purification, so the golden bow and arrows that Ji Yue Nian had created with the Great Compassion Mantra were all part of the golden mystical power obtained from the initial fusion of the Heart Fire and the Transmigration Buddha Mantra.

At this moment, his divine Palace acupuncture point was completely depleted, and apart from the burning Heart Fire shadow, there was not even a single bit of profound energy.

This was the disadvantage of not having cultivated the Xuanhai Sea. Whether it was the azure Profound Energy of the “Explicit and Secret Myriad Path Immortal Body” or the golden Profound Energy of the “Transmigration Buddha Mantra”, they were both like water without a source or wood without a root, some of which could only be used and some of which could only be used to slowly recover by relying on the heart fire to absorb the power of the sun and moon of heaven and earth.

As the rain continued to fall, Ji Yue Nian once again activated his Heart Fire to forcibly transform part of the Mountain Ghost Yin Energy that had settled deep within his divine soul, and only then did Zhan Qing Profound Energy and Golden Profound Energy gradually emerge within the Divine Palace Cave.

After cleansing the soul and purifying the marrow, the flame of the Tong Ling Karma Flame had become extremely fiery, and even with the heavy rain pouring down, the black flame was still burning without weakening in the slightest.

However, if one stays in the rain for a long time, it is not good for cultivation.

Ji Yue Nian walked a few dozen feet away and found the remaining half of the crumbling wall of the Taoist temple, which was relatively well preserved and could block most of the rain and wind.

Using his Profound Energy to create a light golden shield around himself, Ji Yue Nian sat under the wall and slowly sank into his practice.

What he did not know was that just a hundred feet away, a long, slender, translucent humanoid figure had been silently gazing towards this place for a long time, but for some unknown reason, its figure eventually faded until it completely disappeared into the storm.

This is a terrifying creature that only appears when frost, wind, rain, snow and other celestial phenomena fall, and once a living being is targeted by it, the consequences are unthinkable.

But it seems to have some kind of inexplicable scorn for Ji Yue Nian, it actually left the place silently, without leaving a trace.
