Her face was beautiful and delicate, her waist tightly bound with brocade, her jewelry unadorned, and her clothing slightly disheveled as if the Bodhisattva had just risen from bed without having time to groom herself.
Li Changzhou was breaking out in a cold sweat.
The system had said she lost all her mana and reincarnated, so how could she appear in his mind?
If it were ancient times, it would be acceptable for Guanyin to appear, but this was the modern era!
Previously, the Lord of Radiance used the Evangelical Book as an anchor to traverse time and was severely taught a lesson, losing the divinity of an Evangelical Book and forcibly having all time-traveling skills sealed. Could Guanyin deceive the system?
No, if it were possible, why would Buddha take the Western Heaven beyond the heavens?
What exactly was going on?
Was this Guanyin a part of the mystery? An illusion? Or something else?
Li Changzhou's mind was a mess, and he even began to doubt whether this world was real or fake.
"Emotion Control"
Li Changzhou entered a state of absolute calm.
"Concentration"
He began to sort through his memories, from past to present, the appearance of Guanyin, the emergence of the mystery, the Special Warfare Bureau, returning to the modern era, 'Buddha Battle'...
Moments later, he looked at Guanyin, "Did you escape from the hands of the Value Game?"
As he spoke, some basic knowledge about the Value Game—including calculations of the Buddha Battle—was transmitted into her mind.
It was a success—the other party truly existed and was not an illusion.
But that didn't rule out the possibility that she could deceive his senses, or the possibility of deceiving "Teleportation."
"I cannot escape," Guanyin gently shook her head, "I must reincarnate; it is 'Heavenly Destiny,' unavoidable by anyone, only that I have delayed the time."
"May I know why the Bodhisattva is seeking me?" Li Changzhou mentally visualized himself and asked respectfully.
"Primordial Spirit Wisdom Sword!"
"Soul Annihilation!"
"Soul Shifting Technique!"
"Great Asura Divine Skill!"
White Bone Temple! Bodhisattva Temple! White Tower Temple! Soul Vortex! Soul Extraction! Mao Mountain Corpse Chasing Spirit Communication Technique! Hell Thunder Scripture... Heaven and Earth Furnace!
Boom!
Li Changzhou's mind felt as if it were creating heaven and earth, endlessly releasing Daoist techniques targeting the soul in a torrent.
The Heaven and Earth Furnace wobbled, inside, Asura lifted a soul fork, White Bone crawled out of hell, the Vortex annihilated everything, the Wisdom Sword produced golden sword light...
Not only that, Li Changzhou then summoned the "Fragrant Leaf Crown" and opened a scripture called "Guanyin's Transcendence Scripture."
"Prajnaparamita...." chanting the scripture simultaneously, he studied another divine skill.
"You and I are closely related, one and the same, how would many laws hurt me?" Guanyin smiled, walking out of the Heaven and Earth Furnace unharmed.
Li Changzhou leapt up, pressing his hand forward.
"Point to the ground as Qian, Life and Death Reincarnation Plate!"
The dual Qi of life and death surged, turning into a grinding disc in Li Changzhou's hands, pressing down on Guanyin's forehead, brutally grinding.
Whoosh!
Guanyin's clothes fluttered, and she watched Li Changzhou with a calm smile on her face.
"How about it?" she said.
Li Changzhou stopped his hand, composed and tranquil, "Wait a moment, 'Life and Death Reincarnation Plate' is a bit difficult; in a short time, I only learned 'Point to the ground as Qian,' let me learn 'Point to the sky as Kun,' and then I will seek your guidance again."
He blinked to the edge of his mind, sat cross-legged, with the dual Qi of life and death swirling behind him, seemingly cultivating "Life and Death Reincarnation Plate," but actually flipping through "Divine Soul Buzhou Mountain."
This was a Great Divine Power; only Immortals could begin to grasp it, which could turn the Primordial Spirit into Buzhou Mountain. Buzhou Mountain could suppress the earth and support the heavens; all demonic and heretical soul attacks were as insignificant as chickens and dogs in front of Buzhou Mountain.
However, it was very difficult, requiring at least ten to fifteen days to master, but Li Changzhou could not afford to care at this moment.
Guanyin took a step forward, appearing in front of him.
She too sat down, face to face with Li Changzhou, watching him with a gentle smile.
Li Changzhou remained unmoved while simultaneously employing "Emotion Control" to evoke fear in her.
"It's useless," Guanyin laughed lightly, "being one and the same isn't quite accurate, actually, it might be said I don't exist, how can form harm the formless?"
Formless?
"Alright, you indeed are Guanyin, but you shouldn't be here," Li Changzhou stabilized her while continuing his cultivation of "Divine Soul Buzhou Mountain," and also searching for a Daoist technique that could kill the formless.
"People occasionally can seize the calculations of heaven," Guanyin simply explained, then retracted her smile and said, "I need to tell you something, do not tell anyone about my existence, not even Yang Qinglan, your sister. If a second person knows, the Value Game will sense me."
Li Changzhou was not deceived.
Perhaps this mystery spreads by the act of "knowing," hoping to trick him into telling Yang Qinglan and others, to harm them.
"Bodhisattva, please rest assured," he nodded, then added suddenly, "But I feel, Bodhisattva, this move is of a lower path."
"You can speak in a modern way, I can learn," Guanyin said.
"Learn?"
Buzhou Mountain, rumored to be the transformed spine of Pangu, is a pillar supporting the heavens and the earth.
"If I do not speak plainly and understandably, how could I walk the mortal world?"
"Makes sense," Li Changzhou nodded, "For instance, in the modern age, people grow impatient with videos longer than one minute, and no one cares about archaic idioms."
He sent some information about brief videos, along with a spirit-ripping large handprint.
Guanyin tasted the sugar and ignored the cannon fire.
"With this, it grows even harder for people to achieve enlightenment," she sighed.
"Those who can achieve enlightenment will naturally control their entertainment time," Li Changzhou said.
Buzhou Mountain, majestic and broad, mysterious and desolate...
Guanyin nodded, then asked Li Changzhou, "Did you just say I have taken a lower path?"
"Yes, you have taken a lower path," Li Changzhou said, "Buddhism advocates 'No Self,' if the 'self' does not exist, then the notion of 'mine' does not exist either, not even one's own being belongs to oneself, let alone one's life. Why then must the Bodhisattva tirelessly reincarnate and suffer the pains of reincarnation?"
