On the jade wall without a word, countless golden ancient fonts suddenly appeared. Such strange things, even Pu Hong Shangren and all the monks of Tianyin Temple had never seen before. Only on the jade wall, sometimes auspicious air rises, sometimes dark red flashes, solemn and majestic golden light with unpredictable red halos, giving people a breathless feeling.

  The demon's face was twisted in agony as he gazed up at the sky, his eyes then shifting to the blank jade wall. He stared intently at the countless characters that danced and swirled on its surface. The eerie glow of soul-devouring energy surrounding his body grew brighter, while the demonic aura emanating from within him also intensified.

  Even the monks of Tianyin Temple on the ground felt an unprecedented chill emanating from mid-air, enveloping them. After three days and nights of Buddhist formation tempering, the Blood Devouring Bead's power seemed not only unfaltering but even more formidable than before, as if it had been fully unleashed.

  Pu Hong's face showed a look of anxiety, at this critical moment, his complexion was like the ever-changing wind and clouds in the sky, somewhat indecisive. Pu Fang beside him, however, seemed to be getting impatient, he looked up at Gui Li who was bathed in the mysterious blue light in the sky, furrowed his brow, and loudly called out to Pu Hong:

  "What should we do now, Big Brother?"

  Pu Heng took a deep breath and said resolutely, "This person is the successor of Pu Zhi's brother, and his lifelong aspiration is at stake. We must save him."

  As soon as the words fell, Pu Heng Shangren gave a loud order, and they sat down again with their legs crossed, chanting Buddha's name, and the sound of Sanskrit singing rose again. Immediately, the monks of Tianyin Temple saw the abbot casting a spell and followed suit one after another. A moment later, a solemn and majestic golden light rose from these monks of Tianyin Temple once more.

  This time, the Buddha's golden light was different from the Buddhist formation of the three days ago. In the solemn image, there was less mercy and more killing intent. Looking back at Gui Li in mid-air, he seemed to have not noticed the golden light gradually rising from the ground below, enveloping him. His spirit was completely absorbed by the characters flashing on the jade wall.

  No one would have thought, even the monks of Tianyin Temple under the Wordless Jade Wall at this moment, even if they saw it with their own eyes, could not understand that what was flashing on the Wordless Jade Wall at this moment, in this most revered and sacred place of Buddhism, was actually the fourth volume of the legendary demonic scripture "Tianshu"!

  The heavens are vast and boundless, worldly affairs are ever-changing, who can predict a few percent?

  The monks of Tianyin Temple worship Buddha day and night, but they still cannot know; the ghosts have experienced hardships and the world has changed, yet they also cannot know!

  At this moment, Gui Li was attracted by the flickering words and phrases that seemed to be an instinct. The ups and downs of the sentences were suddenly displayed in front of him, showing all the broken and incomprehensible parts of his past solitary and hard practice of the "Tian Shu" technique. It was like a traveler facing countless cliffs and steep walls on the road ahead, hesitating without a way out, when suddenly there was a path through the cliffs and a bridge over the torrent. What a great joy it was, how could he still be distracted?

  At that moment, many profound and obscure places in the past cultivation suddenly unfolded like a sudden enlightenment. From the first glimpse of the "Tian Shu" Volume I outline in the Blood Drop Cave of Wan Batou Ancient Cave on Kong Sang Mountain ten years ago, the passage of time over the past decade was like the ebbing of the tide, and this man standing at the pinnacle of the sky amidst the winds and clouds felt for the first time that feeling of breathing with the heavens and earth, yet being forgotten by all things.

  Gasp, deep gasp!

  From head to toe, every part of his body seemed to be on the verge of exploding, surrounded by countless strange and eerie sounds. The various breaths in his body were like boiling water, like huge waves crashing against the shore, all surging and churning. The Blood Devouring Bead's icy power was overwhelming, while the Xuan Fire's pure yang energy was fiercely intense; the Taiji Xuanqing's peaceful and calm energy was like a majestic mountain, solemn and unshakeable.

  Moreover, from all over his body, the three volumes of "Tian Shu" emerged, unleashing a torrent of true yuan energy that was impossible to withstand.

  Heaven and earth change, creation is mysterious and wonderful!

  Under the dark clouds, the figure in mid-air emitted an eerie glow that grew brighter as the sky darkened, exuding an aura of defying the heavens. Thunder rumbled at the horizon, and electric sparks began to dance within the cloud layer, as if the heavens themselves were enraged.

  In the clouds, a strong wind was blowing, and the cloud curtain slowly began to rotate. Just above Gui Li, it gradually appeared like a huge whirlpool.

  Ji Li's gaze was still fixed on the wordless jade wall, seemingly oblivious to everything else around him.

  At this moment, the chanting sound on the ground was loud and clear, and a solemn golden light burst into the sky, instantly enveloping the ghostly energy that had risen to mid-air. This golden light was extremely intense, gathering the spiritual power of dozens of monks from Tianyin Temple, how could it be ordinary? In an instant, it suppressed the eerie aura emitted by Gui Li's body and wrapped around him tightly.

  Golden light together, shrouded ghostly fierce after, the sky thunder and lightning momentum seems to have been constrained, suddenly slow down weakened, the original slowly forming on the sky curtain that strange giant whirlpool, also seems to be gradually dissipated.

  Pu Hong stood on the mountain, gazing up at the sky, and slowly let out a breath. Suddenly, he heard the dry old monk beside him say coldly: "This person's cultivation has triggered the 'Heavenly Punishment Thunder', it can be seen that the evil energy is flourishing, and heaven will not tolerate it. The abbot disregards everything to rescue him, but I'm afraid it may not be right."

  Pu Heng's face changed, and he turned to look at him. The old monk stared back coldly, and Pu Heng was momentarily speechless. In fact, with Pu Heng's cultivation level, how could he not sense the eerie and deadly aura emanating from Gui Li? It was definitely not a righteous technique. As for what he had done today, it was hard to say whether it was right or wrong. However, as soon as he thought of his brother Pu Zhi who had passed away with grievances, and how Gui Li had shown great compassion when facing Pu Zhi's remains, Pu Heng was moved and couldn't bring himself to abandon him.

  At this moment, Pu Hong was speechless, and after a while, he was about to speak when suddenly there was a commotion beside him. Many people let out soft cries, and at the same time, an eerie aura emanated from within the formation, as if something had changed. He hastily raised his head to look over, and instantly his face changed color.

  Only to see that the original Buddhist Dharma Great Array, which was jointly supported by many Tianyin Temple monks, had suppressed and protected the evil power on Gui Li's body, wrapping it entirely in a golden light array. The mysterious wind and clouds at the horizon could not find their target and were slowly dissipating. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the faint glow of the Dao on Gui Li's body, which had been suppressed to weakness, suddenly brightened again, and the surging aura within was even more powerful than before.

  "Rumble!"

  A thunderclap boomed loudly in the sky.

  The fierce wind howled, amidst the thunder, Gui Li let out a long roar towards the sky, his body radiating a dazzling aura as the colors of cyan, red, gold, and crimson swirled around him ceaselessly. Finally, they slowly converged and merged, transforming into the simplest black and white energies. However, these black and white energies were also quite unusual - sometimes they would all turn white, while at other times they would all turn black, changing unpredictably. Yet, amidst this turmoil, a great power was hidden, which all the monks of Tianyin Temple could sense.

  In mid-air, the golden light formation condensed from the Buddhist power of dozens of Tianyin Temple monks was somehow unable to withstand the impact of Gui Li's newly born true law, and slowly weakened. At the same time, in the sky, the wind and clouds were surging, and a huge vortex reappeared, with an even faster speed than before, rapidly taking shape above Gui Li.

  Looking up from the ground, all that can be seen is the swirling clouds, with lightning flashing wildly, thunder rumbling, and an eerie, unearthly "hissing" howl, like a monstrous mouth in the sky, as if ready to devour people.

  On the ground, the faces of the monks were filled with pain at this moment. Maintaining the golden light formation was becoming increasingly difficult. At this moment, not only did Gui Li himself resist the golden light from within the formation, but also in the sky above, a mysterious vortex had an unstoppable force descending from the heavens, pressing tightly against the golden light formation.

  The golden light formation that had been attacked from both sides was rapidly weakening, and Pu Heng and the others were all shocked. At this moment, a loud thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and a thick bolt of lightning struck down from the depths of the swirling vortex, hitting the golden light formation.

  A deafening sound shook the entire Tianyin Temple, causing all the monks to stumble. Those with lower cultivation levels had their faces flushed red, and some even spat out blood. The golden light formation flickered and dissipated, disappearing into nothingness.

  Pu Hong's mind was filled with anxiety and frustration, as the master of the formation he had suffered a great shock. But at this moment his attention was focused on the sky above, and in his anxiety he stood up.

  The golden light formation dissipated, and the oppressive aura of Gui Li was gone. The pressure on his body instantly disappeared, but he felt a sudden relaxation all over his body. A new surge of true yuan energy circulated within him, circulating ceaselessly, and it was incredibly refreshing.

  But before he could make a move, the one who disturbed the heavens only saw in the depths of the dark clouds at the horizon, amidst the rumbling thunder and crackling lightning, a column of light descending from the sky, unstoppable and overwhelming, as if it was about to pierce through heaven and earth, striking down with a loud crash, heading straight for him.

  Wherever it passed, the intense heat was unmatched, and the hissing sound around the light column never ceased. It was as if the temperature was so high that everything around it had been melted. And Ghostly faced this heavenly might, with no way to avoid or hide...

  Just as the ghostly Jie was about to be struck by this enormous beam of light, and was on the verge of being pulverized, Master Pu Huan and the other monks couldn't bear to watch, and turned their heads away with closed eyes. Master Pu Huan felt a deep pain in his heart, and no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why things had turned out this way. He had originally been trying to help Jie with good intentions, hoping to dispel the evil energy from his body, but instead, he had triggered the Heavenly Punishment Thunder, a legendary punishment that hadn't been seen in thousands of years!

  Can it be that heaven really cannot accommodate this man?

  A beam of light was about to arrive, and before it reached him, the ghost's face turned pale with a fierce expression. In the midst of the loud thunder and strong winds, he opened his mouth to shout, but no sound came out, all drowned out by the mighty power of heaven and earth. All that could be seen was that under the overwhelming divine power of heaven and earth, his face had seven orifices bleeding, his expression desperate and hopeless. Even the Soul-Devouring Devil Rod, which had always been protecting him with its heart, now faced the heavenly punishment, and was also suppressed to the point of being dull and without light.

  Everything seems to be coming to an end!

  The mighty heavens seem to have transmitted a faint and mournful melody that echoes across the sky.

  ※※※

  Suddenly, the wordless jade wall behind Gui Lian, which had gradually dimmed, seemed to have sensed something, and countless flashing characters lit up again. Especially the nine large characters in the center: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs", emitted a dazzlingly bright light, shining brightly, and looking at that momentum, it was faintly accompanied by an aura of invincibility and arrogance.

  Even so, facing the vast sky that countless people worship and admire, that seemingly invincible heavenly punishment, the light on the jade wall has never retreated in the slightest!

  The light on the wordless jade wall suddenly shone to its peak, as if the brightest star fire was ignited in an instant, and no one could see the scene inside. That seemingly crazy light, in an instant, poured down from the sky, covering Ghost Ji's entire body, while at the same time, there was also a huge and unmatched light, rushing up to the sky, that endless momentum, actually rushed straight to the mysterious giant vortex at the horizon.

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  "Rumble!"...

  The sky was a deep shade of indigo, and the thunderclap shook the air to the point of deafness. Each sound seemed to have the power to split the heavens, as if it had been enraged. In an instant, that unparalleled heavenly punishment pillar moved slightly, leaving Gui Lian's body, and struck the unyielding light that rose from the wordless jade wall!

  Two intense beams of light, in the midst of heaven and earth, collided with a loud crash, shaking the mountains to their foundations. Countless massive rocks cracked open on the cliffs, amidst the thunderous roar, as countless beasts wailed in despair, as if it were the end of the world.

  That dazzling brilliance in the sky and on earth, which cannot be gazed at directly!

  The universe solidified, as if it were just at that moment.

  On the jade wall without words, the originally smooth stone wall made a cracking sound and burst open with a "popping" sound from the center, and countless fine cracks extended from this center to all directions, getting bigger and bigger. Finally, amidst the sharp whistling sounds, a deafening crash was heard as the huge mountain wall collapsed, sending rocks flying everywhere!

  The sky, the huge light column slowly dispersed, the low-hanging black clouds seemed to have been vented, the strong winds gradually subsided, and the thunder also slowly stopped. Then, the world seemed to return to calm in an instant, the black clouds gradually dissipated, and the peaceful sky gradually brightened up.

  A figure slowly fell from mid-air, it was Gui Li, but at this moment he was covered in blood and unconscious. A faint mysterious glow surrounded his body, which swayed a few times after he landed before gently dispersing and disappearing without a trace.

  The monks of Tianyin Temple stared blankly at the ruined wordless jade wall in front of them, staring at Gui Li who had miraculously escaped death in the heavenly punishment, unable to say a single word.

  ※※※

  This sleep is like another distant slumber.

  It seems that among them, many people are walking around, very busy, and some people are talking beside me, with voices sometimes loud and sometimes small. It appears that sometimes there is even a quarrelsome atmosphere. However, most of the time, it is quiet.

  He fell asleep for an unknown length of time in the dull stillness, and although he had some vague sensations, he never woke up.

  Perhaps this kind of sleep is what he deeply hopes for!

  ※※※

  Footsteps sounded outside the door, and Fasheng, who was in the Zen room, looked out and quickly got up to pay his respects to Pu Hui Shangren, who had just entered. Pu Hui Shangren nodded slightly and glanced at Gui Li, who was still sleeping on the meditation bed, saying softly, "Is he all right?"

  "Since that day, Zhang Shi has been in a coma. His breathing is calm and there's no unusual sign, and his body doesn't have any other injuries. Logically speaking, he should have woken up long ago, but somehow, he just won't wake up?"

  Pu Hong hesitated for a moment, then said: "He was lucky to have escaped the heavenly punishment of Lei's thunder, and it's already extremely fortunate. I thought that the heavenly punishment was a rare sight in ten thousand years, but unexpectedly it happened to him, could it be... that he is indeed an evil spirit that even heaven cannot tolerate?"

  Fa Xiang's face changed, and he quietly glanced at Pu Heng Shangren. Meanwhile, Pu Heng Shangren's expression was solemn, but there was no other unusual color. He then slowly put down the heart that had suddenly risen and said in a low voice: "Master, did several of your uncles argue with you again?"

  Pu Heng let out a bitter laugh, but didn't say anything.

  The law is silent.

  After a while, Pu Heng Shangren slowly said: "The Wordless Jade Wall is the most precious treasure of my Tianyin Temple, and it is also the Buddha's relic passed down by our ancestors. This time it was destroyed by heavenly punishment, all because of my personal selfishness. I have decided that after this Zhang donor wakes up, I will resign as the abbot of the temple and meditate on Buddhist principles to atone for my sins."

  Fa Xiang's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Master, how can you say this, it's not your fault!"

  Pu Heng shook his head and said, "What you several Shifu said is right. I appreciate Zhang Shizhu's resolution of Pu Zhi Shidi's resentment and anger, so I rashly decided to use the Buddhist scriptures to transform him."

  This brought about heavenly punishment, destroying the jade walls, and it was indeed my fault. Only...

  He said up to this point, but then smiled slightly and said to Fa Xiang: "It's just that I have never regretted it. Do you know why?"

  Fǎ xiāng chén mò yáo tóu.

  English Translation: Fa Xiang shook his head silently.

  Pu Heng smiled and said, "On that day, the heavenly punishment came down, this donor Zhang was originally doomed to die, but the wordless jade wall selflessly rushed forward and saved him. Although we don't know why things turned out this way, the jade wall is indeed spiritual and must have had a reason for not wanting to see Donor Zhang die under the heavenly punishment. Since the jade wall acted in such a manner, it can be seen that I didn't do anything wrong. Therefore, destroying the jade wall was indeed my fault, and I plan to apologize for it, but in my heart, I don't regret it at all."

  Fa Xiang gritted his teeth and raised his head, calling out in a loud voice: "Master..."

  Pu Hong patted his shoulder, smiled and comforted him a few times, walked to Gui Lie's bed, looked at him carefully for a while, nodded and said: "It seems that his complexion has improved greatly. If nothing unexpected happens, I think he will wake up in these few days. You should take good care of him."

  Master and apprentice are of one mind: "Don't worry about it."

  Pu Hong nodded and glanced at Gui Li again before turning around to leave.

  Just as he was about to step out of the door, suddenly, the ghost on the meditation bed moved slightly and let out a low moan.

  Fa Xiang's body shook slightly, and he exclaimed: "Master, it seems like he has woken up."

  Pu Hong rushed over with great joy, walking quickly and sitting on the edge of Gui Lie's bed. Under the gaze of the two master and disciple, only to see Gui Lie's eyes lightly twitching, finally slowly opening his eyes.
