Acai's Sky

Chapter 549 Midu Immortal Realm 2

Foguang Temple Forbidden Area

At the top of the towering pagoda, which soars into the sky, there is a mysterious and solemn atmosphere that makes people feel awe.

This is the most sacred place in Foguang Temple - the highest level of the pagoda. It is like a secret place far away from the hustle and bustle and isolated from the world, exuding endless mystery and solemnity.

An extremely huge Buddha statue sits majestically in the center of the tower, which is the true form of Master Xiuyuan.

He has a compassionate face and a solemn appearance, and radiates the light of wisdom and compassion. He seems to be able to see through the essence and truth of all things in the world, which inspires admiration from people.

Surrounding the great monk are ninety-nine eighty-one exquisitely shaped and ingeniously crafted soul-guiding lamps representing the three souls and seven spirits.

The wicks of these soul-guiding lamps flickered with a faint but steady flame, like stars in the night sky, dazzling and sparkling.

They burned slowly, emitting wisps of green smoke that curled up, adding a touch of ethereality and mystery to the entire space.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew quietly, like a gentle woman gently caressing the ancient pagoda.

In an instant, the entire pagoda was shrouded in a layer of dazzling Buddha light. The Buddha light surged like a tide, spreading from the top of the pagoda in all directions, illuminating everything around it with golden splendor, which was dazzling and awe-inspiring.

At the same time, melodious and deep Buddhist sounds came from the air, like the sound of nature, intoxicating.

This Buddhist sound seems to have traveled through the tunnel of time and space, coming from ancient times and echoing between heaven and earth.

Sometimes it is high-pitched and passionate, like thunder, shocking the heart; sometimes it is gentle and lingering, like a gurgling stream.

Each note contains endless Buddhist truths, which can make people feel clear-minded and free from distracting thoughts, as if they are in an extraordinary Buddhist world.

After hearing the news, several elders of the forbidden area hurried to the pagoda of the great elder.

They were dressed in robes, holding Zen sticks, and their faces were solemn and dignified.

Along the way, they silently recited scriptures in their hearts, praying to the Buddha to bless the elder to return safely.

The moment they stepped into the pagoda, they saw the bright Buddha light and the lingering Buddha music, and the whole space was filled with a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

The soul of the great monk Xiuyuan returned to its place, and he slowly walked out of the pagoda holding the soul-nourishing jade in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the abbot of Foguang Temple, Xuyun, hurried forward to pay his respects and said respectfully, "Amitabha, the great elder has practiced for thousands of years and has finally returned. This is truly a great blessing for our Foguang Temple."

At this moment, the great elder Xiuyuan was seen muttering something and quickly forming seals with his hands. The Buddha's light that had been emanating from his body and covering the surroundings began to slowly shrink, and finally sank into his body like a golden stream of light.

Xiuyuan nodded slightly to the host not far away and said slowly, "Let the host deal with these thieves."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and an invisible force instantly pulled the captured evil cultivator out of the soul-nourishing jade and lifted him in front of him as easily as lifting a chicken.

Immediately afterwards, Xiuyuan raised his arm lightly, and the evil cultivator flew towards where the host was.

The host took out a purple gold bowl and put the evil cultivator into it.

After completing these gestures, Master Xiuyuan leaned slightly to the side and, with a smile on his face, extended a sincere invitation to the many senior temple officials present: "Everyone, please follow me to my pagoda for a chat."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and everyone followed.

Soon, the group arrived inside the pagoda. Xiuyuan calmly sat down cross-legged, and the others also found their seats.

At this time, a clever and well-behaved little monk stepped forward quickly, holding a pot of freshly brewed fragrant tea in his hand, and carefully served tea to everyone present one by one.

The host Xuyun, who was sitting in the first seat, kept his eyes on the Great Elder, examining him carefully from head to toe.

After a long time, he finally let out a long sigh, a look of relief on his face.

You must know that this great elder Xiuyuan is one of the only two Mahayana masters in their Foguang Temple. He has an extremely respected status and is an indispensable existence for Foguang Temple.

"It is a blessing for our Foguang Temple that the Great Elder can return safely this time! In this way, the foundation of our Foguang Temple in the entire world of immortal cultivation will be more solid." Xuyun said with deep emotion.

Xiuyuan's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. He was seen gently twisting a string of Buddhist beads with an ancient atmosphere in his right hand. The Buddhist beads were flickering with a faint light under the sunlight.

Then, he spoke slowly, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze:

"Amitabha, I was able to successfully cross the long millennium and return safely, all thanks to the generous help of a time traveler!

When she returned, her position was slightly off, and the anchor point was correct, but she landed in the secret realm of spiritual herbs in my temple. I promised her that she could pick as many as she could until I released her."

Xu Yun, standing nearby, nodded in agreement upon hearing this. "We should reward this benefactor generously. After we cast a spell to free him from the secret realm, we'll also need to find a few suitable treasures to give to this young friend as a token of our gratitude."

Immediately afterwards, Xiuyuan took a deep breath, as if he wanted to incorporate all the ups and downs he had experienced over the past thousand years into the following narration.

His gaze was far-flung, his thoughts gradually drifting back to that distant past, and he said slowly, "Back then, I had intended to use my profound Buddhist teachings to influence and liberate that person.

However, this person was stubborn and even after countless persuasions and enlightenments, his inner obsession was still deeply rooted and had not wavered at all.

Not only that, the evil spirit and resentment that permeated his body not only did not diminish in the slightest, but instead became even more intense and profound..."

Second Elder Xiuzhu frowned and said with a worried look on his face, "The evil cultivator we encountered this time is actually at the Mahayana stage. His strength must be unfathomable.

And judging from the current situation, it may not be easy to properly deal with its body!

In my opinion, it would be better to send this evil cultivator's soul directly to the Wanhua Hall to be burned, so that future troubles can be eliminated forever."

Upon hearing this, Great Elder Xiu Yuan smiled softly and said slowly, "Don't worry, Second Elder. As far as I know, our little benefactor has a kind of strange fire in his hands.

This fire is extremely powerful and can burn all evil things in the world. It can be said to be the natural nemesis of all evil.

What's quite interesting is that this benefactor himself seemed completely unaware of the powerful ability of the strange fire he possessed, and it was completely by accident that he used this strange fire to incinerate the evil cultivator's body..."

At this point, Xiu Yuan couldn't help but reveal a trace of relief, and then continued: "I have to say, it is really a stroke of luck that we were able to successfully eliminate this evil cultivator this time.

You must know that this evil cultivator had previously destroyed three entire planes in succession, causing countless lives to be lost and the people to suffer.

Now that we have completely annihilated it, we have undoubtedly accomplished a great merit. And now, this merit has finally been successfully pocketed by us!"

After saying this, Xiuyuan's face was filled with joy that was hard to conceal.
