The entire Demon Suppression Tower started to shake uncontrollably.
At this moment, the demon Buddha's eyes were filled with compassion, as if a true Buddha had descended, possessing the boundless might of a Buddha to subdue demons.
His gaze was calm and serene.
Years ago, he made a bet with the Dong Shen Ancestor, and upon losing, he willingly entered this Demon Suppression Tower. However, it was also to leverage the power within the tower to help him restrain his demonic nature, consolidating the practices of Buddha and Demon. Now, as Buddha and Demon have become one, he seeks the opportunity to escape the tower today.
Moreover, he intends to achieve the Demon Buddha Primordial Spirit.
Inside the Demon Suppression Tower, other demons sensed the immense strength pushing back the Vast Righteous Qi, and immediately felt invigorated.
"Smelly monk, although I don't like you, I will lend you a hand today!"
At this moment, inside the seventh layer, the seven-tailed fox demon was dressed in a pink palace costume. Her true form was even more enchanting than the human form she manifested. The seven white fox tails filled the dark tower room like they were towering pillars, swiftly transformed into seven supporting columns, with overwhelming demon qi blasting towards the surrounding tower walls.
The demon qi rolled like mountains.
At the Observatory Platform, the altar beneath it suddenly emanated boundless spiritual mechanism, as if celestial starlight from the sky was drawn in and poured into the Demon Suppression Tower, continuously repairing the cracks on the tower wall.
Zhang Jian also witnessed that immensely powerful punch.
Such a punch, majestic and vast, was no less powerful than the two Primordial Spirit Masters fighting above the Chengguang Sect.
"What a divine and marvelous Buddhist Dharma!"
Zhang Jian was encountering such a unique Buddhist mysterious technique for the first time, yet his eyes remained calm.
After a brief thought, he picked up his pen and wrote a line.
"Confucius said: Do not speak of abnormal forces and spirits!"
This line floated, transforming into a white stream of light that met the punch imprint sweeping through the void Dharma Realm within the Demon Suppression Tower. The white stream of light seemingly contained the power of the laws to dissolve the void, causing the unbeatable Buddha light to completely vanish into nothingness.
Further, the white Vast Righteous Qi fell into the depths of the Demon Suppression Tower like a sharp sword, dispelling the impact of the demon qi, once again reducing some of the demons to their original forms.
The Path of the Saints and Sages possesses a peculiar power, capable of comprehending the origin of the Heaven and Earth Dao, unleashing power from the source, thus each manifestation appears as a reflection of the Heaven and Earth Dao Laws, endowed with this unique power.
Of course, this also requires a vast amount of Vast Righteous Qi and the accumulated knowledge of comprehending the essence of all things as the foundation to truly release divine power.
Carrying the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, Zhang Jian felt its heartbeat was somewhat abnormal. It was accelerating, drawing the power of Vast Righteous Qi from heaven and earth, rapidly replenishing the consumed Vast Flame.
In Zhang Jian's view, this Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart seemed more like a key, capable of unlocking the Vast Righteous Qi left by countless sages from the depths of time, transforming it into a repressive force.
Demon Buddha Jaya's Spirit Mountain Dharma Seal could connect with the Buddhist Buddha in the ethereal realm, just as he could manifest Dharma using the righteous qi of heavenly beings.
In the shadows, Dongxiao Daoist witnessed this scene and couldn't help but be shocked.
"To have comprehended the Path of the Saints and Sages to such a state, a thousand years ago, the Yu Saint carrying the Celestial Book couldn't do more than this!"
Gazing at the boundless Vast Righteous Qi, his expression kept changing, and he couldn't help but say.
"No wonder Jingming Daoist holds this Scholar Zhang in such high regard; indeed, Scholar Zhang has the potential to be canonized in the future!"
Another silhouette also showed signs of surprise.
Seeing his Spirit Mountain Dharma Seal being suppressed by the Vast Righteous Qi, the Demon Buddha Jaya's smiling facade finally showed a hint of solemnity.
Meanwhile, as the vast Buddha Dharma Seal was scattered by the Vast Righteous Qi in the void, Zhang Jian once again lifted his pen.
"Seal!"
A word appeared at the tip of the pen, and then two more words shone brightly in the light.
"Confine, Trap!"
The Vast Righteous Qi burst forth, charging towards the sky, the three words successively rushed into the Demon Suppression Tower, immediately stabilizing the dharma bans within the tower.
At this moment, countless Buddha lights swirled around Demon Buddha Jaya, the void was shone upon by Brahma Sound, seemingly gathering the forces of all void Dharma Realms into his fist imprint.
Beneath him, a thousand-leaf Buddha lotus blossomed, half gold and half black, half sacred and half as dark as the deepest shadows. Two golden bodies manifested around him.
Seeing the three Ming Guang characters transformed into a prison above, the Demon Buddha finally couldn't suppress his agitation. Yet, he glared at the unresponsive eleventh and twelfth layers, his eyes swirling with the spiritual light of Buddha and Demon, mixed with a hint of anger.
Throughout, the demon kings of the eleventh and twelfth layers seemed to have taken no action.
He then spoke in a deep voice.
"Mad Daoist, Taiyin, you still won't act, do you intend to miss the opportunity?"
In the depths of the eleventh layer, a figure was suspended in the air. He wore a Daoist robe, although the robe was somewhat tattered, crossed by numerous webs, like a straw doll hung with a thread, continuously swinging, mumbling yet completely ignoring the sound coming from the tenth layer.
Truly maddened!
Deep within the twelfth layer lay an area shrouded by vast Profound Yin Black Qi, seemingly hiding the darkest evil on earth.
Upon hearing Demon Buddha Jaya's voice, an indistinguishable male or female voice emerged from within.
"What are you yelling for? The time hasn't come. I advise you to stay put and don't cause trouble!"
"Why not enjoy the good times, why rush out?"
That voice was completely devoid of any emotion.
However, upon hearing it, Demon Buddha Jaya frowned.
Those two had a Dao practice no weaker than his, even more dangerous and fearsome.
Yet these two were always unwilling to act, relying solely on leading the other demons may not be sufficient to break through the external blockade.
The opponent's Vast Righteous Qi was extraordinarily powerful, not easily dealt with.
Revealing his cards prematurely without breaking through would be the worst situation.
"Seems I must wait for the right moment!"
Demon Buddha Jaya glanced outside the Demon Suppression Tower, his Buddha eyes penetrating the void, seeing the towering figure formed by Vast Righteous Qi.
Even with his keen eyes, he couldn't see through the opponent's foundation, nor calculate any celestial secrets.
Demon Buddha Jaya slightly furrowed his brows; these scholars cultivating the Path of the Saints and Sages were truly troublesome, leaving him somewhat vexed.
To his knowledge, the inheritance of the Path of the Saints and Sages should have been discontinued.
After the Yu Saint departed a millennium ago, all books, even records concerning the Path of the Saints and Sages were destroyed. There shouldn't be any more cultivators of the Path of Saints and Sages born.
Demon Buddha Jaya ultimately chose to lower the banners, dispelling the boundless Brahma Sound and golden light, merely merging into the tenth layer, where a layer of dark Buddha light was born from the golden Buddha light, enveloping this area.
"That bald man indeed doesn't cut it!"
In the seventh layer, the seven-tailed celestial fox also withdrew the majestic Celestial Fox Dharma Aspect, her watery eyes showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
"His reputation is great, but reality proves otherwise."
The seven-tailed celestial fox could sense that the Demon Buddha Jaya was holding back at the final moment.
Before the altar, countless starlights blazed, the starry brilliance poured onto the altar, and the Demon Suppression Tower absorbed strands of starlight, gradually repairing its cracks.
"It's stabilized!"
At this moment, Dongxiao Daoist watching the scene exhaled a breath of relief, although his gaze on Zhang Jian showed awe.
Zhang Jian could withstand the combined revolt of Demon Buddha Jaya and the crowd of demons, truly shocking.
Zhang Jian slowly lowered his ink pen at this moment, his expression calm.
His spiritual gaze focused, also seeing Demon Buddha Jaya suddenly halting his actions.
His gaze then fell upon the eleventh and twelfth layers of the Demon Suppression Tower.
According to his senses, the deep and terrifying aura emitted from the demon kings sealed in the eleventh and twelfth layers was even more formidable.
But strangely, the demon kings in these layers opted to remain indifferent?
This puzzled him.
Originally, he had prepared for a dire situation.
Yet, it seemed he suffered a loss in this deal.
Had he known the Demon Suppression Tower held so many formidable entities, Jingming Daoist's offered rewards were entirely insufficient!
Meanwhile, Zhang Jian glanced at the depths of the Observatory Platform.
In his eyes, those two qi mechanisms were equally clear.
However, one particular aura surprised him greatly.
That aura brimmed with the barbaric, ancient essence.
Much like the aura of Phoenix Spirit, Xuan Jiu, Bai Nu, and others.
It was a powerful Divine Beast, perhaps a Demon God.
