Chapter 220: Chapter 214: Drawing Ground into Prison, Trapping Da Luo【Subscribe】_1

"Detected that Host is being asked by Jinzha to open the Cave Abode. You have the following options:"

"Option one: Agree to Jinzha’s request, open the Cave Abode, and receive the Magical Tool reward ’Dragon Piling.’ Dragon Piling: a Magical Tool belonging to Jinzha, containing thirty-six fire dragons with immense power."

"Option two: Refuse Jinzha’s request, do not open the Cave Abode, and receive the Dao Technique reward ’Drawing Ground into Prison.’ This technique, ’Drawing Ground into Prison,’ is one of the three thousand Dao Techniques. It is an advanced version of the 72 Polymorphic Transformations’ ’Motion-Setting Technique’ and ’Drawing Ground Technique,’ making the inside and outside of the circumscribed area like two different worlds, difficult to invade."

Upon seeing the options, Sha Chen made his decision without hesitation, immediately choosing to refuse.

He then instantly acquired the Divine Power ’Drawing Ground into Prison,’ one of the three thousand Dao Techniques. This Divine Power was actually quite common, but usually only in its most superficial form.

The technique Sun Wukong loved most during his Journey to the West was to take his Golden Cudgel and draw a circle for Monk Tang, telling him not to venture out. This way, demons could not get in and harm Monk Tang.

That was ’Drawing Ground into Prison.’

It could protect Monk Tang from being harmed by demons.

But that was only a beginner’s version, one of the spells from the 72 Polymorphic Transformations.

’Drawing Ground into Prison’ could also trap people; those caught within the circle could not leave.

What Sha Chen had just used against Jinzha and Muzha was a repelling spell, an evolution of a technique from the 72 Polymorphic Transformations. With golden light projected before him, no one could approach.

It was considered a separation Formation, but it was very fragile and was destroyed when Jinzha’s cultivation aura erupted.

However, the technique bestowed by the system was a Dao Technique, one of the three thousand handed down by the Daoist Ancestor, possessing immense power.

Used proficiently, it could even trap a Quasi-Saint.

However, Divine Powers had always been related to the strength of the practitioner, and this Divine Power also placed great demands on one’s Primordial Spirit and Mana cultivation.

With Sha Chen’s current cultivation and Primordial Spirit, using ’Drawing Ground into Prison’ to trap an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal for a short period would not be a problem.

If it were individuals below the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, they could likely be trapped for eight to ten years without issue.

Against ordinary Golden Immortals or those weaker, he could probably keep them imprisoned for a lifetime before the Mana sustaining his ’Drawing Ground into Prison’ was exhausted.

The might of this Divine Power lay in this.

The technique Tathagata used to trap Sun Wukong under Five Finger Mountain was similar to ’Drawing Ground into Prison,’ albeit different in form.

The Divine Power rewarded by the system appeared directly in Sha Chen’s mind, and with a brief study, he had already grasped its rudiments.

Sha Chen said calmly, "Bodhisattva Hongfa, it is best you return. I do not look down on Buddhist disciples, nor do I bear any enmity towards Buddhism."

"Besides, if there are demons in the Flowing Sand River, I will deal with them myself; there’s no need to trouble you all. Furthermore, if you don’t deal with these demons, then I will."

He shot a glance at the White Bone Dragon Saint and the other demons, his eyes glinting fiercely.

The demons were so frightened that their expressions changed drastically, and they retreated a considerable distance.

Jinzha was furious that Sha Chen dared to disrespect him.

He had refused him again.

To do so in front of so many demons, showing him no respect, would have serious consequences.

Jinzha said, "Sha Chen, since you insist on being obstinate, don’t blame me for being merciless."

He actually considered attacking, which startled Muzha and the many Arhats.

Sha Chen was a Middle Level Daluo Golden Immortal; if Bodhisattva Hongfa attacked, it could implicate them all.

Muzha hurriedly sent a telepathic message, "Big brother, Sha Chen’s strength surpasses ours. Even together, we are not his match. We must be cautious."

Jinzha sent back, "Don’t worry. This brat is timid as a mouse; he definitely wouldn’t dare to oppose Buddhism. I can scare him to death."

In truth, he didn’t want to fight either. But his dignity was on the line, so he had to project his aura; merely intimidating Sha Chen would suffice.

He believed his judgment was flawless.

A coward hiding in the Flowing Sand River, too scared to show his face when demons appear—would he truly dare to make an enemy of Buddhism? Jinzha mused.

However, unknown to them, their telepathic conversation meant nothing to Sha Chen.

Possessing the ’Six Ears of All Heavens’ Divine Power, Sha Chen easily overheard their exchange, internally cursing the two posers.

So, they don’t dare to actually attack either? Just trying to act tough and scare me? Ridiculous! Sha Chen sneered internally. He made a hand seal, executed ’Drawing Ground into Prison,’ and directly trapped Jinzha and the others.

Jinzha exclaimed in alarm, "Sha Chen, you dare to act against Buddhism?"

Sha Chen retorted, "You hardly represent Sakyamuni. Besides, you ignored the demons and instead tried to attack me. If this matter were brought before Lingjiu Mountain, I would be the one in the right."

"Perhaps the next time Guanyin Bodhisattva or another great Buddhist elder passes this way, I will have to report your actions."

After trapping Jinzha, he unleashed the Imperial Gods’ Thunder and Samadhi True Fire, striking at the demons filling the sky.

The demons were aghast and scattered in all directions.

The White Bone Dragon Saint roared, "Don’t be afraid! He’s just a Daluo Golden Immortal, and so am I! I’ll hold him off. Cooperate with me, and we’ll have no problem!"

WHOOSH! Sha Chen’s arms shot out, seizing the White Bone Dragon Saint by the neck and yanking it towards him.

Instantly manifesting his three heads and six arms, Sha Chen grabbed various parts of the White Bone Dragon Saint’s body. He squeezed hard, and with a series of CRACKS and SNAPS, its bones shattered.

The White Bone Dragon Saint shrieked in agony and terror, "Sha Chen, you can’t kill me! I’m the White Bone Saint’s eldest disciple, the heir to the White Bone Cave! If you kill me, my master will soon come and level your Flowing Sand River!"

Sha Chen said, "I gave you a chance, but you were useless. Don’t blame me for being merciless now."

He had initially worried about an attack from the White Bone Saint, but the White Bone Dragon Saint had revealed that its master was merely at the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

Although still very powerful, such a being couldn’t breach his Cave Abode’s defenses.

Given that, he wasn’t going to hold back.

Sha Chen tightened his grip, effortlessly pulverizing the White Bone Dragon Saint’s bones. The ghostly fire in its eyes flickered with agony.

The White Bone Dragon Saint roared, "Sha Chen, you think you can kill me? It won’t be easy! My body has been tempered for a million years, refined by ghostly fire! You can shatter my bones, but you can’t kill me!"

CRACKLE! SNAP! Sha Chen continued to apply pressure. He was already at the middle stage of the Da Luo Dharmakaya, and his physical strength was immense, making it easy to shatter the White Bone Dragon Saint’s bones.

However, this creature was indeed tough as nails. Sha Chen condensed the Imperial Gods’ Thunder in his palm, unleashing a CRACKLING barrage upon the bones. Then, with a breath of Samadhi True Fire, he incinerated the fragments to ash.

With its bones now brittle, Sha Chen finished off the White Bone Dragon Saint with a few swift punches and kicks, smashing it to pieces.

In its final moments, the White Bone Dragon Saint roared towards Jinzha, "Brothers of the Li Family, you deceived me! You stood by and watched me die! You were the ones who told me to deal with the Black Bear Spirit and Tianpeng!!"

Jinzha and Muzha had already broken free from the ’Drawing Ground into Prison’ and were preparing to attack. Jinzha had even summoned his Dragon Piling and Sweet Dew Treasured Vase, ready to confront Sha Chen.

But hearing the White Bone Dragon Saint’s accusation, Jinzha broke out in a cold sweat.

Abandoning his intent to fight Sha Chen, Jinzha hurled his Dragon Piling at the nearly dead White Bone Dragon Saint, shouting, "Nonsense! How dare you slander me? Die! All demons deserve death!"

WHOOSH! Thirty-six fire dragons emerged from the Dragon Piling, instantly incinerating the last remnants of the White Bone Dragon Saint’s skeleton.

The other demons were also decimated by the Imperial Gods’ Thunder and Samadhi True Fire.

Jinzha showed no mercy to the fleeing survivors, using his Dragon Piling to annihilate them all.

Their flesh and blood were then absorbed by his Sweet Dew Treasured Vase and refined into a bloody ichor, denying them any chance of rebirth.

Sha Chen clapped. "Bodhisattva Hongfa, what skill! Truly an enforcer of heavenly justice."

Jinzha snorted, preparing to confront Sha Chen again. But Sha Chen interjected, "Still, were that demon’s dying words true? Did Bodhisattva Hongfa truly collude with demons? Dealing with the Black Bear Spirit is one thing, but Tianpeng is a demoted general of the Heavenly Court."

Jinzha’s expression darkened. "Nonsense! Are you actually taking the words of a dying demon seriously?"

Sha Chen gave a cryptic smile. "Whether it’s true or not, let’s not dwell on it. Justice resides in the hearts of the people, after all."

Jinzha seethed. Since when did Sha Chen have the right to utter such words? However, with a guilty conscience, he didn’t want to argue further; the more he spoke, the more he might reveal.

So he said, "I don’t know what nonsense you’re spouting. Step aside. I still need to kill that Black Bear Spirit."

The Black Bear Spirit, startled to be suddenly implicated, glanced at Sha Chen. It landed cautiously on the surface of the Flowing Sand River, then dove into the water and straight into the Flowing Sand River Cave.

During this time, Sha Chen didn’t stop him.

However, once the spirit had entered, Sha Chen feigned shock, exclaiming, "Damn you, demon! Sneaking into my Cave Abode while I was distracted! You won’t get away with this!"

He looked utterly horrified and furious, as if he had suffered a great injustice and was now terrified.

Jinzha and Muzha were momentarily stunned, then smirked. Serves you right! they thought.

However, they put on a show of righteousness. "General for Folding the Curtain, do you need our help to go in and drag that demon out?"

Sha Chen replied, "There’s no need. I’ll handle it myself."

Then he turned, shrank, and re-entered his Cave Abode.

Tianpeng quickly followed. "Old Sha, wait for me! I’ll help you! That demon is despicable! First, it implicated me, and now it launches a sneak attack! No martial honor at all!"

With that, Tianpeng hurried inside.

Jinzha and Muzha sensed something was off. They exchanged a look and also headed towards the Cave Abode entrance.

However, before they could get close, Sha Chen, who had seemingly re-entered, suddenly turned. A palm strike sent both brothers flying backward.

Muzha even suffered light injuries, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes wide with shock, Muzha thought, So strong! I’m no match for him at all!

Jinzha, though repelled, was undeterred. He smashed his Dragon Piling towards the entrance of the Flowing Sand River Cave, trying to wedge the door open and prevent it from closing.

Sha Chen was enraged. He had shown restraint repeatedly, yet Jinzha was relentlessly aggressive.

If he didn’t teach him a lesson, it seemed Jinzha truly wouldn’t know who he was dealing with.

With a reach of his hand, the Sky Shaking Bow appeared. He whirled around, drew the bow to its fullest, and nine arrows of light instantly materialized.

He nocked the arrows, aimed, and released.

"I’ll shoot you dead, you damn bastard!"
