Chapter 229: Immovable Lion King Seal

Just as Yun Yi was deeply thinking about how to deal with Li Wushuang’s next attack, he heard Black Wind’s voice in his ear, “Little Yun, with your current strength, if you want to defeat Li Wushuang, there is only one possibility. The Buddhist secret scripture I gave you is the root of all methods in Buddhism, containing the essence of Buddhism and filled with countless Buddhist mysteries that need to be understood one by one. In ancient times, there were the Three Great Seals in Buddhism, which were known as the most powerful seals for attack. If you could understand one of them, along with the Red Lotus Karma Fire, you could truly defeat Li Wushuang today. Of course, understanding one of the Three Great Seals is not an easy task. Even during the peak of Buddhism in ancient times, very few great monks could use one of the Three Great Seals.”

Black Wind paused for a moment and continued, “But you are different. Your physique is extremely rare, gathering the energy of heaven and earth. Whatever you practice, you do with ease. The Buddhist secret scripture is the same for you. You were able to easily understand the Six Character Mantra before, and now you might be able to grasp one of the Three Great Seals. From here on, it depends on your ability to understand. If you can succeed, you can fight; if not, you only have the option to flee.”

Black Wind’s reminder to Yun Yi was very clear. If it were someone else, Black Wind would certainly not advise them so. After all, the methods of Buddhism are not so easy to comprehend. In the past, supreme monks spent hundreds of years to have the chance to understand one of the Three Great Seals. For someone to expect to understand it in a battle is almost a fantasy.

But the reason Black Wind encouraged Yun Yi to try is that he had witnessed many miracles in Yun Yi. This person is the most extraordinarily talented he has ever seen.

After all, with the example of the Six Character Mantra, understanding it is more difficult than the Three Great Attack Mana Seals. Since Yun Yi was able to exceed others and grasp the Six Character Mantra, he naturally has the chance to understand the Three Great Seals.

Since there is a chance, he must give it a try. Black Wind knows very well that Yun Yi is a person who does not give up and will never be willing to escape, leaving a mark of defeat on his life.

After hearing Black Wind’s words, Yun Yi’s expression changed instantly. The secret teachings of Buddhism appeared in his mind, and following Black Wind’s guidance, he quickly found the location of the Three Great Buddhist Mana Seals.

Just as Black Wind said, this scroll of secret teachings is the essence of all Buddhist methods. It contains an immense amount of knowledge, with many powerful Buddhist techniques hidden inside. Without someone to clearly point it out, trying to figure it out alone would be an incredibly difficult and tedious task.

“The three highest Buddhist Mana Seals—Wisdom King Seal, Immovable Lion King Seal, and Dharma King Seal—carry the essence of the three supreme Buddhas of Buddhism and have been passed down through generations.”

Yun Yi’s eyes shone brightly with shock. The Three Great Seals were once a powerful force during Buddhism’s golden age, unmatched by anyone. Now, in this decline of Buddhism, hidden away in the western regions and ignoring worldly matters, it seems that this highest secret scroll had long ceased to be passed down. Now, with Black Wind handing it to Yun Yi, the mystical techniques of Buddhism are set to shine again under Yun Yi’s hands.

Whether this is a blessing or a curse for Yun Yi is hard to say.

Drawing from his previous understanding of the Six Character Mantra, Yun Yi immediately focused all his thoughts on the Immovable Lion King Seal. He knew he must comprehend each of the Three Great Seals one by one; to master them all at once was impossible.

However, mastering even one of the Three Great Seals could defeat Li Wushuang and change the course of today’s battle.

On the other side, Li Wushuang saw that Yun Yi was silent and standing still, with Buddha light swirling around him. He thought Yun Yi was not taking his warning seriously and seemed to be gathering greater power to resist him.

This made Li Wushuang very angry. In his eyes, he was giving Yun Yi a chance, and it was Yun Yi who did not know how to cherish it.

“Yun Yi, since you only wish to die, I will fulfill your wish. To kill you, I don’t even need to use the third move of the Earth Demon Subduing Blade Style. In your current state, I doubt you can withstand even a few of my strikes.”

Li Wushuang moved again. With a swift slash of the Hanming Bending Blade, he didn’t use the third move of the Earth Demon Subduing Blade Style. He stuck to the first move because he believed that using the first and second moves was enough to defeat Yun Yi.

After all, with his current strength, forcing out the third move would take up a tremendous amount of energy.

Moreover, Yun Yi had already been injured twice by the Hanming Bending Blade’s energy, so his fighting ability would surely weaken. In this situation, Li Wushuang didn’t take Yun Yi seriously at all.

Crash…

Terrifying blade energy rushed forward again.

This time, Yun Yi did not choose to confront it directly. He used the Six Character Mantra, and instead of attacking the blade energy, the six Buddhist characters surrounded him to create a defense.

At the same time, Yun Yi invoked Freedom Wings to quickly dodge the sharp edge of the blade energy.

As Black Wind said before, until he comprehended the Immovable Lion King Seal, no matter how hard he tried, he would never be a match for Li Wushuang.

So now, Yun Yi focused on defense and dodging, tangling with Li Wushuang for a while, while immersing himself in understanding the Immovable Lion King Seal.

Boom…

The blade energy broke through the defense of the Six Character Mantra, destroying the six large Buddha characters, but because of the brief block from the Six Character Mantra, Yun Yi gained some time.

Besides, with Freedom Wings, Yun Yi easily swayed and dodged the remaining blade energy.

“You dare not confront me directly, so you have become defensive? Yun Yi, in front of me, all defenses are useless. I want to see how many of my strikes you can avoid.”

Li Wushuang sneered, confident he had Yun Yi at his mercy. He unleashed the Hanming Bending Blade again, delivering two slashing strikes at once, the first and second moves of the Earth Demon Subduing Blade Style.

One strike cuts the mortal world, while the other reaches the heavens; the momentum was grand and breathtaking, causing Duan Tianye and Nie Qing to secretly worry for Yun Yi.

“Immovable Lion King Seal, the Buddha’s Immovable Lion King.”

At this moment, Yun Yi was completely immersed in understanding the Immovable Lion King Seal. The Six Character Mantra automatically protected him, hovering outside his body, while Freedom Wings showed a sense of ease. Without directly confronting Li Wushuang, it was not an easy task for Li Wushuang to harm Yun Yi, who was focused on dodging.

Two strikes came down, yet they still did not harm Yun Yi at all. Yun Yi muttered to himself, feeling dazed, as if he wasn’t really focused on the battle at all.

And evading Li Wushuang’s attacks twice in a row made Li Wushuang’s expression a bit unpleasant.

“Damn it, how is this kid so fast? He’s just at the innate realm; it must be those shining wings of his. I wonder what kind of flying battle technique he’s using. This kid is really lucky, but today I must kill him. I want to see how long his movements can keep him safe from me.”

Li Wushuang said with a dark expression.
