The Sky Lusting Sect Leader had been released by Shi Feiyang, and their fates were directly linked. Though a greater disaster was averted, the Sky Lusting Sect Leader's every sin bore some responsibility upon Shi Feiyang.

Had the four major masters of Buddhism and Dao not arrived today, Shi Feiyang would have eventually needed to handle it himself, hunting down and destroying every avatar of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader.

Of course, the disciple, Demon Corpse Gu Chen, of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader was slain by Master Changmei with the Seven Sword Heart Execution. His nephew, Xuanyuan Dharma King, was thoroughly defeated by the Emei Sect at the Illusion Wave Pool.

Therefore, after his resurrection, the first enemy he had to face was the Emei Sect; these four great masters were either bound by karma or owed favors to Master Changmei from back in the day, and thus had to intervene.

Shi Feiyang calculated the most advantageous scenario for himself, which was to take down one of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader's avatars and leave the rest to others.

After all, he was adversaries with both the Emei Sect and the Xie Family; he didn't need to exhaust his Heart Power fighting the Sky Lusting Sect Leader to the death on behalf of others.

He used Yue Yun's body to seal the Sky Lusting Sect Leader inside and then controlled his Primordial Spirit to fight the Sky Lusting Sect Leader. He also summoned the Lord Lamp God, One Light Master, from within the Demon Lamp, along with the Five Lustful Children to besiege the Sky Lusting Sect Leader.

In this way, he didn't exert his full strength; the main expenditure was Yue Yun's Essence Energy, also to guard against any sneak attack while he was showing off his skills, as everyone present was his enemy.

He dealt with one avatar, leaving the remaining three to grow anxious.

The three avatars communicated in spirit and knew that if the entanglement continued, their end wouldn't be good.

Suddenly, they vanished from the spot and next appeared above Shi Feiyang on the Cloud Platform, forming a triangular formation around Shi Feiyang. Then, they rapidly struck at Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang hadn't put his full effort into fighting the one inside Yue Yun's body as he was guarding against precisely this move. Foreseeing this, he had already released the Purple And Blue Divine Flames from overhead to protect himself.

Then began the might of the Nine Suspicions Tripod, spewing out a large volume of golden-red threads, attempting to engulf all three foes into the tripod.

The Cloud Platform darkened immediately; it turned pitch black in an instant, where one couldn't see their own hands and all light was being absorbed.

The three avatars of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader were caught as well, but they were formidable, able to resist the suppression of the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, and clash fiercely with others. At this moment, they could transform into three dark shadows, constantly twisting with the space, and managed to escape from the golden-red threads one after another!

The beings that constituted them were each capable of spatial manipulation; even the Nine Suspicions Tripod could not hold onto them, only causing them a little trouble which delayed them for several seconds in their assault on Shi Feiyang.

However, in those few seconds, attacks from Tian Meng Zen Master, Bai Mei Zen Master, Yan Yingmu, and Li Jingxu—the four great masters—all landed!

From above descended a dense shower of Boluo Divine Flames and Buddha Fire Light Rain, accompanied by numerous Soundless Divine Thunders. Yan Yingmu knew that the Great Demon was in its last desperate struggle and directly sacrificed the Saintess, while Li Jingxu used the Sky-Spraying Silver Light...

Though the Sky Lusting Sect Leader targeted Shi Feiyang, they had to save him.

Had they ignored the situation, Shi Feiyang would have immediately withdrawn, releasing the one trapped within Yue Yun's body, and with his body full of Magical Treasures, he could have escaped unscathed.

The four great masters not only assisted Shi Feiyang in blocking the attacks, but Li Jingxu also reached the Cloud Platform first, positioning himself behind Shi Feiyang to shield him from attacks, rather embodying a back-to-back battle stance.

Bai Mei Zen Master only gave three parts of his strength to this task, focusing more on attacking Xuanyuan Dharma King and Demon Corpse Gu Chen.

He not only attacked himself but also called his two disciples to strike together.

Xuanyuan Dharma King and Demon Corpse Gu Chen were suppressed by the Seven Treasures Golden Banner, only able to exert slightly more than half their Mana, with many Magical Treasures becoming unusable. Previously formidable Magical Treasures were continuously damaged under the shine of the Buddha Light, soon to be obliterated.

Their Mana could only display a little more than half its strength; accounting for the unusable Magical Treasures, their power was reduced to a mere third.

As Qi Shuming forcefully pressed them, they faced immense hardship, feeling suffocated and furious.

Under these circumstances, Bai Mei Zen Master, along with his two disciples, cast down the combining Sandalwood Buddha Lights followed by the Vajra Giant Spirit God Palm.

Zhu Youmu and Li Ning simultaneously each sacrificed their Magical Treasures, the two Demon Humans unable to withstand the onslaught, became both furious and anxious, nearly spitting blood!

And at this moment, the Sky Lusting Sect Leader also changed tactics, realizing they couldn't kill Shi Feiyang nor rescue the sealed avatar in haste.

Delaying further would mean Xuanyuan Dharma King and Demon Corpse Gu Chen could be beaten to death or escape, and once Qi Shuming captured the Central Palace and fully set up the Liangyi Dust Formation, escape would be impossible, and they risked utter annihilation!

He made a quick decision, abandoned Shi Feiyang, and dived downward.

The shadow flickered, one avatar entering Xuanyuan Dharma King's body, another into Demon Corpse Gu Chen's, and yet another into Zhu Youmu's.

This maneuver was different from forcibly seizing a body like the Blood Son Deng Yin.

The first two communicated with Xuanyuan Dharma King and Demon Corpse Gu Chen through thoughts: "At this stage, only by merging with my Divine Energy and becoming one can we have a chance to live!"

Xuanyuan Dharma King hesitated, wondering who would dominate after the fusion? He was

The leader of the Sky Lusting Sect immediately burrowed into his Mud Ball Palace and fused with his Primordial Spirit, while simultaneously drawing a massive amount of spiritual energy from his body.

Gu Chen, already a Demon Corpse, had little blood in his body and was filled with Corpse Qi, yet his Mana was quite strong.

His strongest aspect was his Primordial Spirit. In those years, Master Changmei had killed him using the Seven Cultivation Swords, and for a moment, couldn't destroy his Primordial Spirit, only suppressing it within the belly of the mountain.

He cultivated the purest Mystics Yin Great Method; hence the fusion between this avatar of the Sect Leader and him was rapid and highly compatible.

Memories of the two melded together, what happened to one felt as though it happened to oneself; eventually, they became one "I" without distinction from each other.

At this point, Gu Chen was no longer purely Gu Chen, as he possessed part of the Sect Leader's memories and will, but most importantly, his body was filled with powerful Mana!

"Roar!" The Demon Corpse let out a thunderous long scream, truly shaking the heavens till they almost collapsed and the earth nearly crumbled!

He then lunged towards Bai Mei Zen Master with a howl, his hands constantly moving, casting mystical Demon Claws condensed from Mystics Yin Divine Flames.

Bai Mei Zen Master's Big and Small Sandalwood Buddha Light couldn't control him at all. It was instantly penetrated, and in desperation, he chanted Buddha's name and cast successive Vajra Giant Spirit God Palms while causing Golden Lotuses to rise everywhere and Golden Flowers to rain from the sky.

He created a Buddha Country Barrier, but it was more defensive than offensive.

Meanwhile, a vast amount of Boluo Divine Flames rained down from the sky, each flame harboring a Buddha, launching attacks at Gu Chen.

Tian Meng increased his attack force to buy time for Bai Mei.

Bai Mei took the Buddha Beads from around his neck, placed them around Zhu Youmu's neck, and intended to lock the Heavenly Lustful Dharma Body that had entered Zhu Youmu's body inside him!

He brought Zhu Youmu today precisely to accrue some merit for Zhu Youmu, to suppress the sins of killing he had committed in the past.

Buddhism speaks of direct retribution, where evil begets evil returns, and good begets good returns - it's not unaccounted for, merely a matter of time not having arrived.

From cause to effect, conditions are necessary, and upon conditions maturing, consequences ensue.

But causes do not disappear; stretch the timeline infinitely long, and ultimately, it will bear consequences!

The Buddhist Practitioners often chant about dissipating karma, which actually refers to obstructing one's impediments, but doesn't eliminate the cause.

Thus, Buddhism always says "All Techniques are void, but Karma is not"; even if one becomes a Buddha, the causes created in the past must bear their consequences, leading to retribution.

Thus, those who say great achievers escape from the laws of cause and effect are preaching Wild Fox Zen because even Buddha does not obscure Karma, since having killed, one must face death!

However, in Buddhism, there's also the notion of transferring and suppressing karma, most famously in the Pure Land Sect's chanting of Amitabha Buddha's name to suppress evil karma by using the power of Amitabha's name, preventing the conditions from maturing, keeping the evil causes from bearing fruit, and then ascending first to the Pure Land.

In the Saha World, Shakyamuni Buddha has already entered Nirvana, making it a No Buddha, End of Dharma World.

In contrast, in the Nirvana, Amitabha Buddha is still alive, preaching the Dharma with Guanyin Bodhisattva and Mahasthamaprapta.

That is a world of Buddha, a world of Righteous Skill.

First, ascend there, learn directly from Amitabha Buddha, and after mastering, return to face the consequences of the past—this is known as Rebirth with karma.

Bai Mei Zen Master saw that Zhu Youmu's cultivation realm had roughly peaked, and considering it nearly impossible for him to ascend directly to his level, he couldn't keep waiting for him for hundreds or thousands of years anymore, having already delayed for many years on his behalf. This time entering the Liangyi Dust Formation and engaging with mundane distractions would delay things for several more decades...

He could only let him go first, allowing Rebirth with carried karma, taking with him unresolved evil causes and ascending to study face-to-face with Amitabha Buddha. With Buddha's Great Wisdom, he surely had ways to enlighten him comprehensively.

The prerequisite for Rebirth with karma is the ability to suppress karma, to prevent the explosion of evil karma, preventing sinful causality from materializing, which also requires considerable high-level realm.

Thus, he brought Zhu Youmu here, allowing him to constrict an avatar of the Sky Lusting Sect within his own body, and through this process diligently advance in cultivation, accumulate merit, to ascend swiftly to Nirvana, waiting to follow later himself.

This Big Monk Bai Mei truly exhausted his heart for this disciple!

He placed the Buddha Beads around Zhu Youmu's neck, twisted them tightly, and with his right hand filled with golden light, forcefully slapped the top of Zhu Youmu's head, rapidly chanting the Buddha's name.

He aimed to keep Zhu Youmu conscious, helping him guard his own Primordial Spirit from being devoured. Otherwise, if the two Primordial Spirits fully merged, Zhu Youmu would become part of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader, and ascent was out of the question – they would have to ascend together...

The Sky Lusting Sect Leader was incredibly powerful!

Though only one-fourth of an avatar, the memories it contained were broader than the oceans, and the will it carried heavier than the mountains.

Zhu Youmu's own memories were enshrouded by those of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader, like a bowl of water falling into a vat, making it difficult for him to discern which memories were his and which were the other's as the boundaries between the individual and the other gradually blurred.

The Sky Lusting Sect Leader transmitted to him Buddhist Scriptures: "No self-characteristic, no person-characteristic, no sentient-being-characteristic, no life-characteristic! You are originally me, I am originally you, the world's sentient beings originally share one Dharma Body... All techniques are void of the self, to cultivate true fruits one must let go of self-attachment, attachment to self leads to Reincarnation, and I am King Yama... You and I originally don't exist, our Alaya Consciousness are merged together, we originally share one nature..."

Zhu Youmu's subjective consciousness increasingly struggled to discern the distinction between himself and others.

"I, a thousand years ago, dominated the world... I cultivated the Mystics Yin Great Method... I crafted the Mystics Yin Beast-Gathering Banner..."
