What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book - Chapter 283: Demon Buddha

When Qiu Wuji said the Buddha didn’t even qualify for her to know his name, she wasn’t pretending.

While her absolute strength definitely couldn’t compare to this Buddha, she observed the situation and felt that this Buddha had significant problems.

Because he lacked vitality and authenticity, appearing more like a programmed entity.

It was like a robot challenging a human; even if the robot could defeat you, you wouldn’t feel much of a point in interacting with it.

As the Creator God had not yet started writing about the Heavenly Realm and had only outlined the overarching storyline, details in various places in the mortal realm had already started emphasizing the corresponding elements in the Heavenly Realm. For example, City Lord Xie Jiuxiao of Yunxiao City, the Hongfa Temple and Buddhism, Chu Tiange’s discoveries overseas, and the so-called Bodhi Wisdom Tree being a branch of the Bodhi Tree in the Heavenly Realm, and so on.

Chu Ge always liked to set the stage in this way.

So, the existence of the Heavenly Realm at this moment had only begun to take shape, with some presence and activities of characters related to those in the mortal realm. However, it was still vague and mechanistic and had not yet come to “life.”

The arrival of this person was almost like a pre-set program – when the Bodhi Tree here was “broken” by Abbot Great Compassion, it triggered the arrival of the “Guardian” Buddha, who then discovered traces of the Heavenly Dao and followed the trail. That’s all there was to it.

What was more worthy of attention was whether Abbot Great Compassion intentionally attracted this Buddha or simply forgot about this aspect. In Qiu Wuji’ mind, Abbot Great Compassion was more worth paying attention to than this Buddha.

As for their strength…

Qiu Wuji and Yan Qianli had indeed not ascended, but it didn’t mean they couldn’t. A long time ago, Qiu Wuji had managed to ascend on her own even without a crucial artifact – the White Tiger’s Fang. She was already proficient in this process, and she could ascend almost at will now.

Not ascending meant that their cultivation level’s upper limit hadn’t expanded. They were still at the crossing tribulation level, so they could be considered “pseudo” Immortals, or perhaps a different term could be used – Earth Immortals.

Zhen Yuanzi was also an Earth Immortal, right? Qiu Wuji was certainly not at this level. She couldn’t even categorize herself into a specific grade because she had surpassed many people in terms of enlightenment and cultivation.

She was truly traversing the real world, having seen the vastness of the stars and oceans, understanding the cosmos, rather than being like those who are still stuck in this world, studying obscure heavenly laws and celestial mechanics that Chu Ge arbitrarily concocted.

She seeks truth and herself, and she has been on the path of self-liberation for over half a year. The difference in levels was quite significant…

She had contemplated the fluctuations of space, the differences in time, and even tried to sense the feeling of creation. Now, she was working as a creator’s assistant, delineating and filling in every detail on the canvas.

In fact, Yan Qianli was somewhat similar to her, but of course, he hasn’t delved as deep as she has. After all, outside he was just a little flame working hard to make pills.

To think that this little Buddha, who still believed in the “Heavenly Axis and Covenant Laws” theory of the Heavenly Dao, would say that they had too little understanding of the Dao? That was simply a joke. Even if he had a higher level of power, so what?

During the struggle between Yan Qianli and the Buddha, Qiu Wuji had not made a move. She was searching for the point of breach in the barrier because the giant palm and the Buddha’s face were just projections. She needed to find the real body of the Buddha to harm him. When the Great Wheel Sky Finger descended, Qiu Wuji found it.

Once the sword was drawn, the void shattered, and Yan Qianli, who had integrated with the heavenly fire, pierced through the heavenly realm, pulling the Buddha into the mortal realm.

In this process, the most lethal “Heavenly Dao Correction” had not been activated, and there was no need for it…

Just as the Buddha’s golden body was pulled out, before he could react, a chill radiated right before him.

Extreme cold and the void of flames swirled around, forming a division of two opposite forces around the point of the sword. The Dao that gave birth to all things flowed through the sword’s point in the ultimate transition between life and death, leaving the Buddha utterly baffled.

Qiu Wuji had created a new divine sword: the Sword of Heaven-Severing.

The heaven referred to here was not Chu Ge, but rather fate.

It was the fate she had always wanted to break free from.

A sword that tore apart fate, resolute in its annihilation of gods and buddhas!

Boom! Buddha light suddenly appeared, attempting to block this sword.

The terrifying forces erupted at the point of contact, causing the heavens and earth to tremble, and distant mountains began to collapse.

Yan Qianli descended from the sky, protecting Chu Ge in front of him.

Chu Ge nervously looked at the battlefield where Qiu Wuji was fighting and casually asked Yan Qianli, “Why are you being so good now? You’re actually protecting me. I thought you only wanted to kill me.”

Yan Qianli said calmly, “I’m not deliberately protecting you; I’m just leaving the battlefield. Because Qiu Wuji wouldn’t want to cooperate with me, and I wouldn’t want to cooperate with her either. She… one sword is enough.”

Chu Ge looked up in astonishment. His perception allowed him to see every detail clearly, from the fluttering of Qiu Wuji’s clothes to the brilliance of her divine sword to the sharpness in her eyes, frame by frame. Then, she and her sword became one, piercing through the Buddha’s radiance. So determined, unwavering.

It had been a long time since he had seen this… the Qiu Wuji, the divine sword from the book.

She must be enjoying this kind of battle… it had been so long since he had seen those eyes and that kind of sword.

What about the Heavenly Realm’s Buddha?

Please try the number one sword from the mortal realm!

A miserable scream echoed through the sky, and golden blood sprayed across the universe.

Qiu Wuji passed by the Buddha’s golden body, her sword retracted, and she looked back.

She had concentrated all her strength into one sword, and now, with her strength depleted, the outcome had already been decided.

Golden blood dripped down heavily onto the mortal realm as the Buddha flew away, exclaiming, “Impossible… this is not a mortal’s sword… there’s something wrong with this world…”

“Did I let you go?” Chu Ge suddenly spoke, “Abbot Great Compassion, why haven’t you acted yet? What are you waiting for?”

“Whoosh!”

In the gap between the two realms, a jade tree suddenly appeared, filling the breach. The jade tree swayed gently, casting a soft light that bathed the Buddha’s golden body. The Buddha let out a miserable cry as he was sealed onto the trunk of the tree, struggling in vain. His golden blood began to turn black and trickle down the tree roots.

The Bodhi Jade Tree, purifying the demonic aura.

“This is a Demon Buddha,” within the Buddha light, Abbot Great Compassion slowly appeared from the clouds and said in a low voice, “Why did my Hongfa Temple’s tree attract a Demon Buddha…”

Chu Ge calmly said, “Do you want to know the difference between heaven and man, and the division between demon and buddha?”

Abbot Great Compassion pressed his palms together and knelt in the clouds, “Please teach me, Creator God.”

Chu Ge said, “You can explore it yourself; this Demon Buddha is now entrusted to you.”

Abbot Great Compassion bowed respectfully, “Thank you, Creator God.”

Qiu Wuji stood quietly on the side, watching Abbot Great Compassion with a hint of a smile.

Not everyone was a traitor… But what was the connection between Chu Ge and Abbot Great Compassion that made them so taciturn?

Yan Qianli couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, old baldy, do you have an agreement with the Heavenly Dao?”

“There is no written agreement,” Abbot Great Compassion stood up and chanted Buddhist scriptures softly, “The Heavenly Dao shall know that the two realms of enlightenment are connected. When I had the Bodhi dug up, it was not only to test you but also to summon the Heavenly Realm’s protectors in case of unforeseen circumstances.”

Chu Ge said, “He’s causing trouble for me, but you are also pleased about it, wanting to see what happens?”

“Yes,” Abbot Great Compassion mumbled, “But I really didn’t expect that Alliance Leader Qiu Wuji would be here… with her here, I’m afraid I won’t have a chance to see the power of Creator God…”

Yan Qianli asked, “But you still oppose the Buddha and stand on the side of the Heavenly Dao?”

“Yes.”

“Why? Since you haven’t discovered the power of the Heavenly Dao, aren’t you afraid that this guy won’t be reliable in the future, and there will be no place for you in the Buddhist sect?” Yan Qianli was now trying to pick a fight with Abbot Great Compassion.

“Amitabha…” Abbot Great Compassion chanted the Buddhist mantra softly, “Even Your Excellency knows that the Buddha is not in his form, much less in his name. He is the Buddha of the Heavenly Realm, but he may not be the Buddha in my heart.”

“What do you mean by ‘even I know’?” Yan Qianli clenched his fists.

Chu Ge stopped Yan Qianli, asking, “What is the Buddha in your heart?”

Abbot Great Compassion fell silent for a moment and slowly said, “Creator God has come with Yan Qianli to observe me. But since I know that Yan Qianli’s arrival is Heaven’s will, why shouldn’t I use this opportunity to inquire about Heaven’s intentions?”

Chu Ge asked, “What did you find out?”

“Creator God can rule the world and make everyone his servants, but he hasn’t done that. What he has done is to save people… While Yan Qianli may seem fierce, he has restrained his hostility too much, no different from a fierce tiger trapped in a cage. This is fortunate for all living beings. Since Creator God is guiding the world, I will stay in the Buddha’s realm. What is there to oppose?”
