Chapter 2804 - 74: Shenxiao Game_3

Yet, he coordinated superbly with Chan Fayuan.

The young and old monastics, with the Bodhi’s wondrous connection, shortened the process of the Knowledge and Hearing Bell’s power recovery.

The phrase inscribed on the ancient copper bell, "his heart does not reveal the blooming of the lotus," had already been carved to the final stroke of "Lotus," but Ji Xingkong’s so-called new transmission of Buddhist Law in the End of Dharma Era ended in futility!

The Knowledge and Hearing Bell had fallen into that segment of the true secret.

It is not in any place within the Monster Realm or in the Land of Shenxiao. It doesn’t exist in a concretely defined space but is advancing into that "secret."

The secrets of the world are countless; how can the myriad beings find them?

Certainly, Chan Fayuan did not intend for the Knowledge and Hearing Bell to be lost. His reliance lies in the millennia-old incense connection between Ancient Nan Mountain and the Bell, and in the Buddhist karma left by many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the Bell. That connection was only temporarily severed. When the world rules of Shenxiao lose guidance, Ji Xingkong’s methods are worn away by time, and that accumulated ancient connection will still be able to be restored.

Ancient Nan Mountain can use this connection to retrieve the Knowledge and Hearing Bell once again.

Not even much time will be needed.

Because at this moment, Chan Fayuan has already urgently communicated with Ancient Nan Mountain, around him, countless sacred syllables are rising and falling!

That is Ancient Nan Mountain’s call to the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, yet it hasn’t sounded because it is still not the best timing!

It must be said, Chan Fayuan’s response at this critical juncture is truly a stroke of genius. In the doomed scenario of immense sacrifice at the Black Lotus Temple, he has struggled to create an opportunity, winning the possibility of safeguarding the Knowledge and Hearing Bell!

This situation has Ancient Nan Mountain losing a Yang Yu, Black Lotus Temple losing a Shujia Lan, failing in their plot for the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, and sacrificing a large number of new transmission belief insects of Buddhist Law in the End of Dharma Era.

If subjected to a cruel comparison, it’s truly uncertain whose losses are greater.

At this time, the Knowledge and Hearing Bell falls into obscurity. The engraving on the bell body is incomplete, which means it is unstable and will soon be worn away completely.

Yet Shujia Lan had already burned the last ember of his life flame just now.

Shujia Lan is already dead, clinging to the Knowledge and Hearing Bell unto death!

But the opportunity to seize the Knowledge and Hearing Bell is lost...

How can Ji Xingkong be reconciled?

His terrifying eyes, dense with black and white dots, suddenly shut tight.

Dreadful power is being gestated.

In the unseen secret, the black characters engraved on the Knowledge and Hearing Bell begin to self-destruct one by one, and crash against the bell.

To shatter it, to sink it, at worst, to erase all its traces.

Or directly destroy this secret.

I can’t engrave it, and neither shall you recall it.

Let this Knowledge and Hearing Bell forever lie submerged in that secret!

My Black Lotus Temple never owned it, and you Ancient Nan Mountain gain it once to lose it again.

"You’re courting death!!"

Chan Fayuan glared angrily, disregarding any Bodhisattva dignity, and roared as he threw a punch, shattering the boundless darkness like Liu Li.

In each shard of the shattered Liu Li darkness rang Ji Xingkong’s insane laughter: "I will not kill you, let this bitter fruit of losing the Knowledge and Hearing Bell make you suffer it night after night for the rest of your life!"

Chan Fayuan was infuriated beyond measure, but now how could he stop Ji Xingkong?

Ancient Nan Mountain is still far away, and the several Heavenly Demons observing at the scene probably wish for the Bell’s loss, and would never intervene.

Seeing a Buddhist treasure about to vanish like this.

In the Land of Shenxiao, suddenly a voice rang out.

"No, something’s not quite right." This voice said.

"Let’s start over." The subsequent sentence from the same voice echoed in the secret of the Land of Shenxiao.

In that instant, Chan Fayuan’s rage and Ji Xingkong’s roar suddenly stopped.

Because at this moment, both of them lost their vague perception of the Land of Shenxiao. Neither the Black Lotus sacrificial altar nor the Bell’s virtual shadow could transmit any more information.

Naturally, they also could not find that segment of the hidden secret, unable to destroy or recall the Knowledge and Hearing Bell.

Not only were the two Great Bodhisattvas shocked and angry at this moment.

Even Tiger Taisui, Lu Ximing, and Zhu Yi, who had been spectating the bald-headed brawl all changed colors.

Because just like Chan Fayuan and Ji Xingkong, their ability to intervene in the chess game from outside was lost at this time!

Until now, the third chess player involved in the Shenxiao game made their move!

But it was definitely not Chan Fayuan, definitely not Ji Xingkong.

Nor was it Tiger Taisui, nor Lu Ximing, nor Zhu Yi...

Who could it be?!
