The Great Success Jade Bright Bodhisattva used a profound Buddhist technique to help countless fallen cultivators reincarnate, sacrificing many years of his own lifespan. Witnessing this sacrifice, Lin Xuankong prepared to face the demons himself. However, the Bodhisattva, transforming into a colossal Buddha, declared he would battle the twenty Demon Lords of the Profound Yin Demon Sect.

However, facing the demon leaders of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, a formidable force of twenty individuals was present. Among them were several demon leaders renowned throughout the Immortal Realm. Even Fan Yu, known as the First Demon Lord, was among them. In such a perilous situation, even the immensely powerful Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva might find herself in grave danger!

With these dire thoughts, Lin Xuankong contemplated withdrawing from the Luo Water Array. The Qilin Clan Elder and the esteemed Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er also felt the surge of Immortal Yuan within their bodies. Just then, the voice of Galin Bodhisattva reached their ears,

"Immortal Lin, Elder of the Qilin Clan, and Immortal Lord Guang, do not act rashly just yet!

My aunt, the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, is currently invoking the Rebirth Buddha Mantra, guiding a hundred thousand souls to rebirth. She has already laid the foundation for her Buddhist techniques. Moreover, a fierce killing intent has ignited within her heart; she must engage in a decisive battle, vanquish these demons, and uphold the Dao. Only then can the lake of her heart be calmed, allowing the mirror of her mind to be free from all impurities!

Should you intervene now, disrupting my aunt, the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva's profound methods, it might impede her cultivation of Buddhist techniques!"

Lin Xuankong halted his intentions upon hearing this.

He possessed a degree of familiarity with the cultivation practices of Spirit Platform Buddhism. Unlike the Immortal Bodies and Divine Souls cultivated by many sects of the Human Race in the Immortal Realm, the Bodhisattvas of Spirit Platform Buddhism dedicated themselves to nurturing their heart nature. They rarely employed Immortal Artifacts, instead relying on their Buddha Nature to transmute ordinary objects into Buddhist Magical Treasures. Examples include the Purification Bottle he had received from Galin Bodhisattva, or the Glazed Demon-Slaying Pestle which Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva now wielded, originally crafted from simple glazed glass and porcelain!

The cultivation path of Spirit Platform Buddhism diverged significantly from that of the Human Race in the Immortal Realm. Given Little Bodhisattva Galin's explanation, it seemed Lin Xuankong, the Qilin Clan Elder, and Guang Yu’er were indeed best advised to refrain from immediate action. Perhaps they truly needed to await the outcome of Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva's fierce confrontation with the demon leaders of the Profound Yin Demon Sect to help dissipate the inner heart demon!

While Lin Xuankong mulled over the situation, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er couldn't help but voice her concern, "I understand that the cultivation of Buddhist techniques emphasizes the nurturing of the heart, distinct from the cultivation methods of the Human Race Earth Immortals in the Immortal Realm. However, the Profound Yin Demon Sect's forces have already surrounded us. Are we to simply stand by and watch as Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva battles these formidable foes, unable to offer assistance even if she comes under attack?"

Galin Bodhisattva offered a soft sigh, then chanted a Buddhist invocation and stated,

"The Bodhisattvas of my Spirit Platform Buddhism cultivate according to destiny. If it is my aunt, Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva's fate to face this tribulation and suffer injury in this battle, then so be it!

Furthermore, rest assured, the three Immortals. Even if the First Demon Lord Fan Yu of the Profound Yin Demon Sect were to make a move, he could not harm my aunt, Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, in a short span of time. In the past twelve thousand years, my aunt has seldom intervened directly. Most demon-extermination tasks for our Buddhist Sect have been undertaken by my master, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva. However, my master has indicated that should a true combat ensue, comparing Buddhist techniques, the outcome between them would still be uncertain!

My master, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, has previously inflicted severe injuries upon the Third Demon Lord, the Thirty-Six Tribulation Demon Lords, and other powerful demon leaders of the Profound Yin Demon Sect. It is reasonable to assume that my aunt, Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, could also hold her own against any single one of these demon leaders present, remaining undefeated!"

Upon hearing Little Bodhisattva Galin's words, the Strongest Immortal Lord Guang Yu’er, whose pretty face had shown evident anxiety, paused and her expression softened slightly.

Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva was consistently lauded as the most powerful Great Success Bodhisattva within Spirit Platform Buddhism. Her reputation and strength were held in the same high regard as Sect Leader Qiu of the Divine Dynasty Immortal Sect, far surpassing Guang Yu'er's own master, Daoist Qiaan Yuan, and her grandmaster, Daoist Kunyuan! To think that Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva's Buddhist attainments could actually rival those of Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva?

If that were indeed the case, then there was truly no need for haste. They could observe the unfolding events and intervene when the opportune moment presented itself!

A sense of calm washed over Guang Yu’er, and the Qilin Clan Elder, who had been anxious moments before, also felt a measure of relief upon hearing Galin Bodhisattva's words. After all, the words of Buddhism are not to be trifled with; while this might not always hold true for lesser Buddhist cultivators, for Galin, who had achieved the Bodhisattva realm, her pronouncements would certainly be mindful to avoid tarnishing her Heart Nature and Buddha Nature!

Nevertheless, Lin Xuankong remained somewhat apprehensive. Clutching the Fourth-Grade Immortal Artifact tightly, he swiftly moved to the interior of the Luo Water Array's luminous barrier, his Immortal Yuan in constant flux, prepared to offer aid at any instant!

Lin Xuankong's concern wasn't that the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva would actually be defeated by any of the demon leaders present. Rather, he worried about the 'Curse of Time,' a Celestial Demon Power that the Profound Yin Demon Sect had acquired. This power originated from an ancient Celestial Demon of the Supreme Origin Realm, and there was no telling if the Profound Yin Demon Sect leaders present could truly unleash its might!

Should they succeed in unleashing it, the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, whose lifespan had already been significantly depleted, might not be able to withstand it!

Within the Luo Water Array, the Earth Immortals, the disciples of the Wine Immortal Sect, and the tens of thousands of young prodigies from various Immortal Sects and clans now found their spirits soaring, their gazes fixed outwards without blinking.

These young disciples hailing from diverse clans, Immortal Sects, and Spirit Platform Buddhism naturally harbored hopes that the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva would ascend to greatness, swiftly vanquishing demons and slaying monsters.

However, the demon leaders of the Profound Yin Demon Sect were certainly not to be underestimated; those ancient demonic beings, having existed for millennia upon millennia, were undeniably formidable opponents!

Outside the Luo Water Array,

The twenty demon leaders of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, positioned a thousand miles distant, observed the strongest entity within the Luo Water Array, the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva, unable to withstand the threat of countless lives and consequently exiting the protection of the Luo Water Array. Upon witnessing this, their faces immediately lit up with expressions of intense excitement and delight.

Perched upon the central black flying carpet, the First Demon Lord Fan Yu sneered:

"The renowned status of Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva is hardly inferior to that of Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva. Her Buddhist techniques must be exceptionally profound. Yet, her pristine Buddhist Body, Buddha Bone, and Buddha Soul, nurtured over tens of thousands of years, are all exquisite materials for the crafting of Sacred Artifacts!

Who among you dares to step forward first,

to capture this so-called Compassionate Bodhisattva?"

"Reporting to the First Saint Master, Celestial Eye desires to engage. I shall capture this Yu Ming's Buddha Bone and Buddhist Body, hahaha!"

"Reporting to the First Saint Master, Ten Thousand Forms seeks the challenge. I shall undoubtedly present this Yu Ming's Divine Soul as a material for refining Sacred Artifacts, dedicated to the First Saint Master. As for her Buddha Body, hahaha, it would serve perfectly as my Ten Thousand Forms' ten thousand and first body!"

"Reporting to the First Saint Master, Soul Shifter wishes to fight. Yu Ming's elder sister, the Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva, inflicted damage upon my demonic form tens of thousands of years ago, compelling me to expend thirty thousand Earth Immortal Realm Resentful Souls and nearly a millennium to recuperate my strength. This vengeance can rightfully be exacted upon Yu Ming!"

"Reporting to the First Saint Master....

The reputations of both Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva and Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva are illustrious. In the past tens of thousands of years, Great Success Yu Zhen Bodhisattva led numerous powerful individuals to breach the innermost sanctums of the Profound Yin Demon Sect, inflicting injuries upon many of its formidable demon leaders!

However,

In the face of the renowned Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva,

these demon leaders encircling the First Demon Lord Fan Yu were surprisingly invigorated, each clamoring to be granted permission to battle. These demonic figures seemed utterly dismissive of the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva's potent Buddhist Body and formidable reputation, each eager to be the vanguard in the fight, aiming to seize the very foundation of Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva. Their bearing suggested an absolute certainty of their victory over her!

Had this scenario unfolded tens of thousands of years prior, such a display would have been utterly inconceivable. Back then, aside from the First Demon Lord Fan Yu, the Second Demon Lord, and the Third Demon Lord, the other demon leaders would undoubtedly have harbored significant apprehension when confronting a master of Buddhist techniques like the Great Success Yu Ming Bodhisattva!
