Chapter 1416 - 715: Worldly Ties Severed, the Golden Sea Runs Dry (Part 4)
And the originally lifeless and crumbling Ji Jue, like a ghost, appeared behind him, reaching out to press down on the Golden Body.
The Treasure Bead was sealed, the Golden Body frozen.
That smiling face slowly emerged from behind Badanta, scrutinizing that stiff profile, suddenly asking: "I said you are a fine jade, can't you hear me?"
"Wha—"
Badanta's pupils contracted, like needle points.
Under the suppression of the Non-Attacking Hand, the spiritual substance, which should have completely stagnated, ignited once more, and the cracks on the Golden Body spread again. Even though his lips could not move, the True Words of the soul still resounded through the heavens:
"[Break all forms, that is all laws]!"
Sacrificing his Golden Body without hesitation!
The Treasure Bead soared suddenly, escorted by a lotus flower, leaving the exploding Golden Body, throwing itself towards the void where a crack had opened out of thin air!
At the cost of everything, he activated the True Words, abandoned all, and fled beneath the Vortex. On the other side of the crack, a towering black figure had already extended its hand toward it...
Assistance and refuge.
But right before the crack, the Treasure Bead suddenly stopped.
"No! You can't!"
Ji Jue grasped one of the Treasure Beads, disregarding the cold gaze behind the crevice, his five fingers contracted!
He pulled it back, inch by inch, from the crevice that was so close at hand!
But right behind Ji Jue, the silhouette of the Family God rose like the tide, the dazzling golden light no longer shone, countless faces had disappeared without a trace, and after the darkness receded, it turned iron gray.
That face, identical to Ji Jue's, coldly looked at the Golden Body about to explode in front of it.
It reached out a hand.
In an instant, the Three-phase Alchemy circulated incessantly within, governing and controlling everything, taking over all.
The True Words were forcibly interrupted.
"Master!!!"
Badanta's expression twitched, eyes wide in fear: "Master, save me!!!"
But could only watch helplessly as the uncontrolled crevice closed completely, the hand extended by the Master ultimately stopped beneath the Vortex.
Just a hair's breadth away...
But immediately afterward, he realized that his once-filled heart suddenly felt vacant and hollow.
He could no longer sense the Master's presence!
No matter how much he contemplated and recalled, he could no longer outline even a fraction of the Divine Essence...
He had been forsaken by the Master and the Righteous Law!
Even his own life and soul gradually fell into the hands of a pair of invisible, large hands, wantonly ravaging, altering.
"Outer Path Evil Demon, how dare you defile me!"
Badanta roared, blood tears flowed from his eyes, filled with such malevolence: "I will vow, I will make you demons suffer ten thousand times in karmic retribution, sinking into a sea of misery, never to be released!
I will—"
"Shh!"
Ji Jue smiled and flicked his fingers, cutting off the True Words: "Our Chopra family is a house of virtue, pious people through generations, we can't say such things!
It's rare to have a distinguished monk like you visit, we couldn't be happier!
Rest assured, we've already discussed it. In the future, we'll move the Family God out of the family temple, place your Golden Body in the innermost part, and you will enjoy incense offerings of fruits month after month, year after year!
I've heard that at Wulou Temple, you emphasize emptying the four elements and keeping the six senses untainted, right?"
Saying this, Ji Jue extended both hands, took down the pale sky curtain, shook it, and the myriad curtains condensed between those hands, transforming into a magnificent and solemn Vestment robe, adorned and inlaid with seven treasures, radiant and splendid!
"Come, put on this Kasaya..."
Ji Jue held up the Vestment robe with both hands, devoutly and respectfully draping it over him, "From now on, all attachments will be severed, the golden sea completely dry!"
Yet for Badanta, that black vestment robe, flowing with the essence of Zhi Fu, seemed more terrifying than any Hell or torment, eyes wide in terror, struggling violently.
But he could no longer control himself.
The Golden Body dimmed, the soul sank, completely reduced to a clay statue and wooden sculpture, no more transcending could be spoken of.
And in the long silence of death, Ji Jue examined the Golden Body in front of him, but always felt that something was missing.
After a long while, he suddenly realized, slapped his forehead.
He took two coins out of his pocket and tossed them onto the Golden Body.
"Wonderful!"
Ji Jue exclaimed in admiration.
Who says we craftsmen aren't good people?
On the first day at the Chopra family, I added a new tourist attraction for the locals.
Indeed, there is no greater good!
Next...
He turned back, looking at the devastated Chopra family.
With great delight, he rubbed his hands together.
Time to give them a second one!
