Pingxiao and Xiaoqingluan were playing around, chasing and beating each other in a mess. When they were suppressed by Yunxiao, they each stopped and hid their heads. After another period of silence, Deng Chanyu finally asked: "What's happening inside the ten-thousand Buddha array? Is there any mystery?"
This question is also directed at Qiongxiao. With the two sisters combining their efforts, they should be able to obtain more information, right?
Qiongxiao opened her mouth wide, and spoke a bunch of words in a mixture of sounds. However, none of Deng Chanyu, Yunxiao, or Lao Zhao could understand what she said.
She was slightly surprised, retracting the indifference in her expression, and then repeated it again.
Bixiao was very puzzled: "I already explained it when I went out to the formation. Why are you still asking, Ayu? At your young age, how is your memory so poor as well?"
She also spoke a bunch of words, just like Qiongxiao, and none of the three who were not in the formation could hear anything. They could only see them open their mouths, but couldn't hear any sound at all.
"Probably the method of a sage to avoid revealing the secrets of the formation," Yunxiao summarized, and both Qiongxiao and Bixiao also picked up on some hints. They could discuss among themselves, but they couldn't share the secrets within the formation with those who were not inside.
Deng Chanyu tried several methods to bypass this restriction, employing the Great Dao's voice, the ways of space, and the ways of life and death. She went through all of them, but it has to be said that the power of a sage far exceeds imagination. She was unable to obtain any information about the Ten-thousand Buddha Formation from Qiongxiao or Bixiao.
The entry into the Ten-thousand Buddha Formation also has conditions. Only original Xuanmen disciples are allowed, and each person can only enter once. If you want to come in and out repeatedly, or repeatedly attack and clear it, you won't be able to do so and will definitely fail. This path has been locked.
At the moment, most of the Saint's direct disciples have not entered the array. The highest remaining position is probably Qiongxiao and Bixiao.
Some of the Saint's disciples came to take a look and then left, like Manjushri and Samantabhadra. Others simply didn't come at all, like the Dabao Taoist.
The large formation currently appears to have no time limit. The Buddha's senior saint, Zhun ti, has once again gone into seclusion, and the day-to-day affairs of teaching are handled by his several direct disciples, including Mali. They seem unlikely to make any mistakes. Three ordinary craftsmen working together are as good as Zhuge Liang, and with so many disciples entering the formation, there will surely be some wisdom and experience that is seen by the senior saint in charge of guiding the affairs of teaching. This can then be applied to managing these affairs, even if the final decision on who will take on the role of daily teacher isn't made. The efficiency of Buddhist operations has improved significantly compared to before.
Deng Chanyu and the others waited for two more days at the foot of Mount Lingshan.
A number of Jie Zhi Immortals gradually entered the formation, but only one of the Zhen Zhou Immortals actually entered - it was Jiang Ziyang.
Old Jiang is also a talent. He got the highest score so far, over thirteen thousand points.
His score is higher than that of Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and a whole bunch of Jie Zhi immortals combined.
Yunxiao said directly, "This Zhou country's prime minister should be that his cultivation is too low, he's at a disadvantage in the illusory formation, dragging down the overall score. That's a pity."
Deng Chanyu nodded, "Hosting the affairs of teaching requires not only ability but also enough cultivation. Old Jiang, no matter how high-handed he is, using others' strength to attack others', is ultimately lacking in power. Without enough power to deter, small conflicts will become major ones."
Jiang Ziyang bowed to them from a distance and then floated away.
Success is good, but failure is also okay.
With the completion of "The God's Ascension," as a "stand-in" staff, he will surely take office in heaven.
He is currently in a stage akin to "a human cultivation master ascending to the Immortal Realm and taking the first step to become a miner." In this realm, all earthly relationships are useless, and it is necessary to make connections with people from all over the Immortal Realm.
Building good relations with Buddhism will do him no harm.
Old Jiang arrived and left quickly.
Deng Chanyu and the Three Xiao took their leave: "I'm not ready yet, and it's not suitable for me to enter the formation now. I'll have to take my leave."
Yunxiao slightly bent down and said, "Do as you please, sister."
Yunxiao is now the senior sister of Jie Zhi, but she is not interested in entering the Ten-thousand Buddha Formation. Zhao Gongming volunteered to do it for her, but she still insisted on doing it herself: "Being in one's position, planning for one's duties," as the senior saint of Tongtian believed in her, then she must do this job well.
"As it seems, this formation may affect one's own will to some extent, so you should be more careful," Deng Chanyu reminded Yunxiao with a warning from the connection of the ways of life and death before she left.
The time flow speed within the formation is unknown, it should be quite long, and one can tell from the expressions of Qiongxiao and Bixiao.
Before entering the formation, the two of them looked down on Buddhism, but after leaving the formation, their attitude had clearly changed. Although they didn't say "my Buddha" and so on as often as ordinary disciples did, they were certainly influenced to some extent.
This influence is not magic or illusion, but rather something subtle that arises from long-term exposure to the Buddhist environment, affecting without being noticed. The methods of the Buddha who guides people to enlightenment are still as concealed and clever as ever.
Deng Chanyu doesn't know if Yunxiao will enter the formation. It's hard to say too much, as she is going to send a clone into the formation, and it would be awkward for her to persuade Yunxiao not to go in but then go herself. So she can only hint around in this way.
Yunxiao sent over a divine thought: "I understand."
Not long after Deng Chanyu left, Old Zhao also returned to the Biyou Palace with Qiongxiao and Bixiao.
Old Zhao clearly stated that he wouldn't enter the Ten-thousand Buddha Formation. No matter what kind of precious treasure the Fengbao Yuan points to, he doesn't care. He just wants to stay in the Jie Zhi. Even if Tongtian Patriarch asks him to try, he still declined, being a person of Jie Zhi, he will be a ghost of Jie Zhi whether alive or dead, nothing more needs to be said.
He is of limited talent and it took him quite an effort to reach the stage of almost Saint. In this life, he will remain at this level. Even if there is a huge opportunity, he won't be able to make use of it. So he just doesn't think about it.
Qiongxiao and Bixiao didn't put much thought into the matter either. They were just there for fun. If they succeeded, they could show off to all their brothers and sisters in the Jie Zhi; if they failed, there was no loss.
As for whether they will be considered to have a divided heart by Tongtian Patriarch? Their cute little heads never even thought of such a problem.
Yunxiao has been staying at the foot of Mount Lingshan, helping Jie Zhi disciples whenever they need assistance, or going to negotiate with the several direct disciples from the Buddhist side. Although she couldn't say she did a good job, at least she fulfilled her responsibilities as the senior sister of the outer school.
Ten days later.
She saw a girl who looked very much like Deng Chanyu, with a similar appearance but several years younger.
The girl exuded an extraordinary purity and spiritual energy from the inside out. Her magical power was roughly at the level of Taiyi Jinxian, but just...
Yunxiao walked past the girl, and she deliberately slowed down her pace. However, she found that the girl had no response at all. She had to cough to get her attention.
Moonlight struggled to identify the "blurry" figure before her, who was that?
Yunxiao felt both amused and annoyed. You're just changing into a new outfit and acting like you don't recognize me?
She is ultimately very considerate and gentle.
Guessing that Deng Chanyu's move might have some deep meaning, she didn't disturb her and left alone.
