Chapter 2759: The Divine Firmament's Arrangement

What is faith? It is exerting all effort to embrace what is sought.

For the Black Lotus Temple's ideal of "world attain the way," Mou Galan abandoned the opportunity to become a future Sky Demon. He was willing to sacrifice himself and embrace the Jieting Bell.

As the supreme treasure controlled by Gannan Mountain for many years, there was originally no possibility of the Jieting Bell being plundered. It had resided in Gannan Mountain for a long time, enlightening countless Bodhisattvas and Arhats, receiving echoes from how many Buddhas. It was already completely integrated with Gannan Mountain, their Buddhist fortunes connected. No matter how far away, Gannan Mountain could recall it at any time.

In a certain sense, "moving the Jieting Bell is like moving Gannan Mountain." Who in the world could accomplish this?

Therefore, even a young Demon King like Yang Yu had the opportunity to carry it outside the mountain gate, travel through bustling markets, and venture into dangerous places. Of course, given the importance of the Jieting Bell, Great Bodhisattva Chan Fayuan also accompanied and protected him, never leaving his side.

It should be said that regarding the movement and use of the Jieting Bell, Gannan Mountain exercised sufficient caution.

But the Divine Firmament place, a legendary location left behind by the Feather Clan ten thousand years ago, was a very special place. It could completely freely self-destruct to prevent the invasion of Hu Taisui. It could isolate the inside and outside, even blocking the tracking of various Sky Demons. It almost possessed the prototype of an independent world.

Gannan Mountain, recognized as the orthodox Buddhist lineage of the Demon Realm, had long been self-revered. Chan Fayuan treated the Divine Firmament place as a chessboard and considered other players as nothing. He shook the Jieting Bell, intending to occupy everything.

While piercing secrets and penetrating time and space, the Jieting Bell also inevitably cast a part of itself into the Divine Firmament place. Mou Galan's sacrifice at the Black Lotus sacrificial altar was extremely magnified, firmly leaving this part of the Jieting Bell in the Divine Firmament place, indirectly triggering the world rules of the Divine Firmament place, and finally prying open the possibility of moving the Jieting Bell!

Suppose the phantom of the Jieting Bell that fell into the Divine Firmament place was a homing pigeon that could return at any time. Mou Galan's current actions were to grasp the wings of this homing pigeon, preventing it from returning to its cage.

The power of the Jieting Bell originally relied on its knowledge-hearing ability to freely shuttle through secrets. But at this moment, it was fixed in this secret. Compared to the rules of a complete world, the contact that Gannan Mountain's monks had established with the Jieting Bell over ten thousand years was so fragile.

And at this critical moment, when the connection was severed and the Jieting Bell was fixed, Jing Xingkong activated the faith insects of the new transmission of the Dharma Ending Era Buddhist Dharma. In an extremely short time, he erased the mark of Gannan Mountain and began to engrave inscriptions belonging exclusively to the Black Lotus Temple on the ancient bronze bell.

The corruption of Yang Yu and the phantom of the Jieting Bell were merely the aftermath of this process.

At this moment, above Moyun City, several Sky Demons, including Hu Taisui, could clearly see the resolutely proceeding handwriting on the ancient bronze bell.

"Self without delusion, conclude Bodhi. The next sentence, already written to 'His heart not prove...'" That golden light was hidden, the night was long. The old era had passed away, a new era was about to come!

The smile on Chan Fayuan's face shattered, and along with it, his pieces in this Divine Firmament game also shattered. To fully occupy everything, he chose to end the game first, but ended up being the first one out of the game.

At present, winning was no longer important. What was important was that he couldn't lose anything more. His expression was extremely serious, almost no one had ever seen him look so serious.

Therefore, he possessed real power. Through the Jieting Bell, which was still in a stalemate in the secret passage, he solemnly asked: "Yang Yu, have you attained enlightenment?"

Yang Yu, who was in the Divine Firmament place, was currently suppressing the black patterns invading his body. At this critical juncture when his body was about to fall but hadn't yet fallen, he poured more power into the phantom of the Jieting Bell to resist the clamp of the Black Lotus sacrificial altar.

A demon who has left home should be indifferent to worldly affairs. He was naturally uninteresting and calmly accepted everything. From the beginning, there were no waves. The escape of the true secret of the Divine Firmament attracted more competitors, but he didn't care. It made no difference who competed with him or who blocked his path. This was his truth.

He was also proud. He wanted to strongly question all competitors with the sound of the bell, to make Mou Galan lose his way and return, to make Lu Qilang recognize his ranking. He wanted heaven and earth to be self-revered. This was also his truth. The truth, just like this moment.

He was struggling, struggling with all his strength in the fallen Buddha power descending in the Dharma Ending Era. With the ability of the Sky Demon Seed ranked fifth on the new Heavenly List, he had already struggled out an independent and clear self. He still wanted to struggle for the ownership of the sect's supreme treasure.

But at this moment, he heard Chan Fayuan's question. The struggling expression on his face disappeared in an instant. He returned to his gentle, calm demeanor and slowly said: "Under the Bodhi tree, all heavens' karma. On Gannan Mountain, ten thousand eons' spiritual affinity. Our generation's True Transmission of the Light King, for the faith of the Buddha, sheds life and forgets death. How can we be concerned with who comes after?"

Before the True Transmission of my Buddha, nothing was important, of course. Including the doubts on the bodies of Chai Asi and Ping An Gui Shuai, including the outcome with Lu Qilang, and including himself...

His last voice was not as intense as Mou Galan's. But while responding to the Great Bodhisattva, he had already given up suppressing his own body. Black patterns instantly crawled all over his gentle face, making him evil, filthy, and undignified. But golden light burned all over his body!

His entire body burned up. He burned in the air just like that. The fire gradually intensified, the golden light gradually became stronger. Finally, he burned into a roaring golden flame of Buddha fire. With his light head as a hammer, he struck the phantom of the Jieting Bell, which had already been entwined by black patterns for the most part.

When you are a monk for a day, you strike the bell for a day. Gannan Mountain's first bell rang. No one was awakened, only he, Yang Yu, entered a dream. His light head cracked open, collapsed, and his entire Buddha fire golden body disappeared.

But unexpectedly, fresh blood was still there. Fresh blood flowed silently down the upper part of the phantom of the Jieting Bell, "extinguishing" the upward-climbing black patterns.

Clearly, it was Mou Galan of the Black Lotus Temple who had first chosen to sacrifice himself, but his body was still withering, still leaving a thin part. The high-spirited Yang Yu of just now was the first to perish. All the demons in the field were moved.

Yuan Mengji swallowed his saliva. His always-slow brain, at this moment, occupied the high ground and transmitted a kind of emotion called fear towards him. When he encountered that absolutely beautiful woman before, there were not many waves. Just a flash of golden light, and he woke up. This time, however, before Yang Yu's offensive of striking the Jieting Bell, he personally felt the methods of the Ape Immortal Court. His confidence originally followed suit and rose. But the scene before his eyes was truly somewhat frightening.

The journey of exploring the Divine Firmament place had only reached this point, and everyone had not seen anything yet. Yang Yu, the new king of the Heavenly List ranked fifth, was just gone? Mou Galan, who also had the strength of a new king of the Heavenly List, seemed to have only a few breaths left according to his eyes. He was withering and withering, with only a section of his chest remaining.

Birth and death were originally nothing. Yuan Mengji had come this far, and he was not a chick who had never seen blood. He didn't care that Yu Xin was gone, and he wouldn't be scared at all. But did you all want to die so intensely? Did you want to make such a big fuss?

I, Yuan Mengji, was born noble. I just came in to train casually. My grandfather of the Ape Immortal Court, who has been lost for many years, is still waiting outside for me to go home! He looked at the golden light shield enveloping him, his face expressionless. In his heart, he had already shouted: "Grandfather! I'm not playing anymore. Can you bring me back earlier?"

At this moment, he wasn't the only one calling for his grandfather in his heart. His capable subordinate, loyal little brother Chai Asi, was also extremely astonished at this time. The Buddha had said fifty-eight chapters and still held them in his hand. He hadn't even had time to let Yang Yu take over, and Yang Yu was already dead.

Wait, could this also be within the Venerable One's plan? In addition to being astonished, he also felt a trace of regret. These were all future pillars of the Demon Clan. They were usable talents for him, Emperor Chai Asi. To just die like this without meaning, how could it not damage the overall situation of the Demon Realm?

Hence, he asked in his heart: "Venerable One, grandfather! The death and injury are too great, too pitiful. Should we come out and advise them?" The Venerable One was too lazy to pay attention to him. Advise what? It had already reached this stage. Advise Mou Galan not to die, advise Yang Yu to live? Mou Galan wouldn't be angry and take you, Chai Asi, away, that would be strange.

Instead, Yang Yu's last words, "For the faith of the Buddha, shed life and forgets death. How can we be concerned with who comes after," made him suddenly think of the three hearings and three Buddha faiths that the new grassland God-King Great Priest Tu Hu had spoken to him about on the grassland initially.

He had always not known what the "faith" in the "three hearings and three Buddha faiths" meant. Should it be interpreted as truth, sincerity, or message? He only knew that these "three hearings and three Buddha faiths" were "like obtaining wide hearing," "like making known hearing," and "like I hearing," and they also represented the three treasure mouths that existed in the world.

Now, he unexpectedly saw everything. The sound of the bell that had rung in Gannan Mountain for ten thousand years seemed to bring him some kind of inspiration at this moment. It was close at hand, vaguely present.

My Buddha is merciful!

In Moyun City, Great Bodhisattva Chan Fayuan's expression was pitiful. At the moment when he should make a decision, he directly gave up Yang Yu to fully protect the Jieting Bell. And the given-up Yang Yu not only had no resentment, but instead actively burned his remnant body. He struck this one bell sound, fulfilling the duty of a Gannan Mountain monk.

The sound of the Jieting Bell rang out again in the Divine Firmament place. That phantom connected to the original, once again describing the secret to Chan Fayuan, so that Chan Fayuan's Sky Demon power could catch its track and trace back the Divine Firmament.

Thus, Chan Fayuan flipped his palm and pushed. That Jieting Bell, which was fixed high in the sky and no longer moved, suddenly jumped forward. It shouldn't be said forward, because the direction it jumped was not in the position of this Demon Realm. It was jumping towards the secret of the Divine Firmament place that it knew and heard!

Mou Galan and Jing Xingkong tied the leg of the homing pigeon, preventing it from returning to its cage. The distance between the homing pigeon and the cage was the secret of the Divine Firmament place. It was a distance that did not exist in terms of time and space. The secret of the Divine Firmament place triggered the world rules of the Divine Firmament place again, directly freezing this distance and the two sides of the distance, the homing pigeon and the cage.

In this process, Jing Xingkong used supreme divine ability to pry open the world rules of the Divine Firmament place, cutting off the contact between the homing pigeon cage and the cage owner. Then, he took the opportunity to erase the mark on this cage and engrave the mark of the Black Lotus Temple on it, thus completing the replacement. Simultaneously, Mou Galan also worked hard to tame the bound homing pigeon. Furthermore, with the help of Jing Xingkong, he corrupted Yang Yu, using the life and death of this Gannan Mountain true transmission to restrain Chan Fayuan's actions.

After the homing pigeon returned to its cage, this homing pigeon and cage would also be reborn with Black Lotus as a prefix. And Chan Fayuan's emergency response at this critical juncture was to directly give up Yang Yu after informing him. Then, he pushed the cage back to that segment representing the true secret of the Divine Firmament. The homing pigeon couldn't fly back, but he pushed the cage over. This is what is called "If the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain." In this process, Yang Yu actively sacrificed himself to burn the rope binding the homing pigeon, so that the homing pigeon could return to its cage earlier.

He didn't know what Chan Fayuan wanted to do, because this was not in the plan beforehand. He just did whatever he could, doing a little more. But he and Chan Fayuan achieved a wonderful cooperation. The old and young monks, with the wonder of Bodhi in their hearts, shortened the process of the Jieting Bell's recycling power.

That sentence on the ancient bronze bell, "His heart not prove, open lotus flower," had already been engraved to the last stroke of the word "lotus." But Jing Xingkong's so-called faith insects of the new transmission of the Dharma Ending Era Buddhist Dharma fell to nothing! The Jieting Bell had already fallen into that segment of true secret. It was not in any place within the Demon Realm, nor was it in the Divine Firmament place. It did not exist in a concrete sense of space, but advanced into that segment of secret.

There are billions of kinds of world secrets, how can sentient beings seek them? Chan Fayuan certainly didn't want the Jieting Bell to be lost like this. The reliance of this action of his lay in the incense connection between the Jieting Bell and Gannan Mountain over ten thousand years, and in the Buddha affinity left by many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the Jieting Bell. That kind of connection was only temporarily severed. When the world rules of the Divine Firmament place lost their guidance and Jing Xingkong's methods were eroded by time, that kind of long-term connection could still be recovered.

Gannan Mountain could then use this kind of connection to seek back the Jieting Bell. It wouldn't even take too long. Because at this moment, Chan Fayuan had already urgently communicated with Gannan Mountain. Around his body, countless Brahma sounds were already floating and sinking, leaping up! That was Gannan Mountain's call to the Jieting Bell, but it was still not ringing. It was only because it was not the best timing yet.

It had to be said that Chan Fayuan's response was truly inspired. In the situation where the Black Lotus Temple sacrificed many, he hard struggled out an opportunity and won the possibility of protecting the Jieting Bell. In this game, Gannan Mountain lost one Yang Yu, the Black Lotus Temple lost one Mou Galan, their plot against the Jieting Bell fell through, and they also sacrificed a large number of faith insects of the new transmission of the Dharma Ending Era Buddhist Dharma. If a cruel comparison were made, it was truly not certain which side lost more.

At this very moment, the Jieting Bell had fallen into the secret. The engraving on the bell body was still not complete, which also meant that it was not stable and would soon be completely eroded. But Mou Galan had just now burned up the last point of his life fire. Mou Galan was already dead, but he had climbed and dyed the Jieting Bell to the death!

But how could Jing Xingkong be willing to lose the opportunity to seize the Jieting Bell? His terrifying eyes, densely covered with black and white spots, suddenly closed. Terrifying power was being urged.

In the secret that no one could see, the black words engraved on the Jieting Bell began to self-destruct one by one, hitting the bell one by one. He wanted to shatter it, to sink it, at least to hit off all its marks. Or directly destroy this segment of secret. I cannot engrave it, and you don't even think about summoning it back. Just let this Jieting Bell forever sink in that segment of secret! My Black Lotus Temple will never possess it, then your Gannan Mountain will gain and lose again.

"You are seeking death!" Chan Fayuan glared and stared, no longer caring about any Bodhisattva demeanor. He roared and struck with a fist, shattering the boundless darkness like glass. In every piece of shattered glass-like darkness, Jing Xingkong's mad laughter echoed: "I won't kill you. Just let you swallow this bitter fruit of losing the Jieting Bell every night for the rest of your life!" Chan Fayuan was violently enraged, but how could he stop Jing Xingkong now? Gannan Mountain was still far away from here. The several Sky Demons watching in the field only wished the Jieting Bell would be lost, so it was fundamentally impossible for them to make a move.

He watched as a Buddhist supreme treasure was about to disappear like this.

However, a voice suddenly rang out within the Divine Firmament place. "No, that's not quite right." This voice said. "Let's start over." The following sentence, belonging to the same voice, rang in the secret of the Divine Firmament place. Chan Fayuan's violent rage and Jing Xingkong's roar stopped abruptly in an instant. Because just at this moment, they both lost their vague perception of the Divine Firmament place. Whether it was the Black Lotus sacrificial altar or the phantom of the Jieting Bell, they no longer transmitted any messages.

Of course, they also couldn't find that segment of secret and had no way to destroy or summon back the Jieting Bell. Not only the two Great Bodhisattvas were shocked and angry at this moment. Hu Taisui, Lu Ximing, and Zhi Yi, who had always watched the two groups of bald heads fight, also changed color. Because, just like Chan Fayuan and Jing Xingkong, their ability to interfere with the game from the outside was also lost at this time!

Up to now, the third player participating in the Divine Firmament game had made a move! But it was absolutely not Chan Fayuan, absolutely not Jing Xingkong. Nor was it Hu Taisui, nor Lu Ximing, nor Zhi Yi. Who was it actually?
