Heaven-Defying Rebel Sage-Chapter 51 - Xuan Mings Heart Conceives Compassion

At that moment, a Seven-Colored Divine Light, from out of nowhere, struck directly at the door of the Slaying Immortals.

A Slaying Sword’s killing intent burst forth, standing against the Seven-Colored Divine Light, tangling and then clashing together, manifesting as a green Taoist and a seven-colored Taoist fighting each other.

Another Nine-Colored Lotus flew in, capturing the Exterminate Immortal and Entrapment Immortal gates. Kong Xuan, overjoyed, dispersed the Five-Colored Divine Light and brushed away the Immortals Slaying Sword, and with the three Buddha Ancestors, they joined forces to break the Immortals Slaying gate and fled.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches all had grim expressions, as if they had discerned something.

A Bodhi branch appeared out of nowhere, entangling the Extermination Immortal Sword along with the Nine-Colored Lotus, locked in a difficult battle.

To prevent the collapse of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, these people seemed to have an understanding, not using their full strength. The battle was quite delicate and beautiful—an appearance of no effort, but in reality, it was extremely dangerous. A regular person caught up in it would likely turn to ash instantly, meeting the same fate as drawing cakes to satisfy hunger.

The three Buddha Ancestors and Kong Xuan took this opportunity to break free. Seeing the people escaping, the Slaying Immortal Four Swords lost their will to fight and disappeared as well. After a moment, the Slaying Immortal Four Swords also soared into the heavens. Wukong did not stop them—wanting to stop them was one thing, but being able to was another.

This time, the Buddhist Sect had suffered a great loss of face. The three Buddha Ancestors from the past, future, and present had joined forces to cause trouble but had been outwitted. Not only did Burning Lamp gain no advantage, but he also lost a Sea-Calming Pearl. Tathagata’s large golden bowl had been struck by Di Jiang’s Reincarnation Pen, leaving a gap, and his meditation mat was also ruined. Furthermore, Maitreya’s Golden Alms Bowl had been cleaved by the Extermination Immortal Sword, it now had a gap, and he had also suffered a light injury from Ru Shou.

Just now, Wukong had thought he could capture Tathagata but did not expect that two Magical Treasures would come out of nowhere, withstanding the Tong Tian Sect Master’s four Slaying Swords, and Xuan Ming had been too busy wielding the sword to join the eleven Ancestral Witches in forming the Capital Heavenly Divine Slayer Formation. Moreover, the origins of those two Magical Treasures were likely extraordinary. He believed that Sakyamuni Tathagata Buddha would eventually die by his own hand, for one’s destiny is ultimately inescapable.

“Hehe, thanks for the help, Taoist Brother!” Zhu Rong said to Wukong with a cold sneer, extremely displeased with the troubles he had stirred up by barging into the Reincarnation World.

“Today I’d like to see how you will escape,” Ru Shou said coldly, looking at Wukong. With the Twelve Ancestral Witches gathered, even if the Slaying Immortal Four Swords were at hand, he would turn to ash, meeting the fate of drawing cakes to satisfy hunger, let alone now that the Four Swords had been taken by the Tong Tian Sect Master.

Wukong simply smiled and said, “Apart from forcibly entering the Reincarnation to search for someone, I don’t seem to have any other grievances with the Ancestral Witches.”

Di Jiang was fidgeting with the Reincarnation Pen in his hands, not saying a word, as if waiting for something.

“Attack!”

Zhu Rong bellowed a command, a murderous intent flashing across her beautiful face, ready to burn Wukong with the essence of the true sun.

However, Xuan Ming simply pointed his finger, and a millennium-old ice surfaced, blocking Zhu Rong’s path, saying, “Do not act rashly.”

“Why not!” Zhu Rong screamed.

Xuan Ming said indifferently, “Had it not been for him, I’m afraid I would still find it difficult to come out this early and thoroughly understand my own heart. Let him go.”

Zhu Rong, however, said, “He has made us lose face; we cannot let him go. Otherwise, if word gets out, how can we establish ourselves thereafter?”

Wukong chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t mention it to anyone. I am not one to gossip.”

Zhu Rong scoffed, obviously not convinced.

It was at this moment that Di Jiang spoke up, saying, “Since that’s the case, fellow Taoist, you may leave. I also believe that you are not one to gossip.”

Wukong gave Di Jiang a saluting gesture and smiled, “Many thanks!”

Then, without further delay, he mounted his Somersault Cloud and departed, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Rong couldn’t help stamping her foot, saying, “Big brother, why did you let that guy go?”

Di Jiang smiled and shook his head, saying, “If you don’t let him go, Xuan Ming will disagree. Since he’s gone, let it be. Without him, I fear it wouldn’t be easy for us to deal with the three great Buddha Ancestors! We should repay him the favor. If we meet him again, whatever you wish to do then, I will not object.”

Xuan Ming still remained silent.

But Zhu Rong had begun to laugh, saying, “Good, those are your words, big brother. If we run into that kid again, I will definitely catch him and take very good care of him!”

When she said “take care,” she clearly did so through gritted teeth, evidently harboring some resentment towards Wukong.

Di Jiang, however, thought to himself, “How could one who thoroughly understands their own heart through reincarnation be an ordinary person? Next time? By the time you see him again, he’s likely to have become a Daluo Golden Immortal and it won’t be so easy for you to deal with him.” Thinking thus, he glanced at Xuan Ming again, his thoughts growing deeper, “Much must have happened in that reincarnation world; otherwise, Xuan Ming wouldn’t have acted like this. With her icy nature, when would she ever care about the life and death of others?”

After dispersing everyone and instructing them to return to their posts, Di Jiang summoned Xuan Ming.

“What happened in that cycle of reincarnation?” Di Jiang asked.

“Within that Reincarnation World, there were six Buddha Golden Bodies drawing merit, accumulating power. However, it seems that this matter was somehow leaked, becoming known. Therefore, the Tong Tian Sect Master laid out a grand strategy, introducing the Slaying Immortal Four Swords into the Reincarnation World. The Heaven-Defying Taoist somehow entered the reincarnation as well. As you should know, living beings in the Reincarnation World will inevitably be entangled with cause and effect, so after… dispatching those six Buddha Golden Bodies, he painted a scroll, depicting six cycles of reincarnation. Therefore, we gained enlightenment about our own hearts and were able to emerge from reincarnation,” Xuan Ming recounted the entire sequence of events to Di Jiang.

Upon hearing this, Di Jiang fell into a deep contemplation, saying, “Reincarnation is indeed unpredictable… It’s unlikely that the Tong Tian Sect Master alone had the ability to set this up. I fear that the Three Pure Ones acted together! Hmm, this is also to our advantage. Although they used you, they also did us a great favor. I was wondering why the merit within reincarnation was so sparse; it turns out these hypocritical Buddhas were up to no good!”

Xuan Ming nodded and said, “I’ve gained much from this journey into reincarnation; I shall go into retreat now.”

Di Jiang waved his hand and said, “Go ahead, if there’s anything, I’ll call for you.”

Xuan Ming, not one for unnecessary words, executed a Dharma Decree and returned to her own cave abode after Di Jiang had finished speaking.

She sat cross-legged, with her hands overlapped near her lower abdomen, focusing her mind and calming her breath.

“How easy is it to let go of the entanglements and causes of six lifetimes of reincarnation?” Xuan Ming sighed inwardly.

After a while, she snapped out of her thoughts, realizing she had been pondering the events within reincarnation for half a day. Although seven lifetimes had passed in reincarnation, only seven days had passed outside.

The transformation of the sea into mulberry fields? The world changes, people come and go?

None of these phrases seemed apt to describe her current situation.

So Xuan Ming stopped pondering and quieted her mind, beginning her retreat to comprehend everything she had learned in reincarnation.
