"This lotus pond can only restore the true cultivation of the main body at most? That's right! If it can continue to improve, it would be too heaven-defying!"
A hint of enlightenment emerged in Ling Xiao's heart.
"No! My body... only looks like I'm eight or nine years old?"
Ling Xiao was suddenly shocked, and when he saw his own appearance, he suddenly felt depressed.
Ling Xiao looks only eight or nine years old at the moment. He looks delicate and chubby, with big lively eyes and a bald head, which makes him look very cute.
However, when Ling Xiao saw Zhao Ritian opposite him, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hahaha... Zhao Ritian, why haven't you grown up at all? You still look like a little kid?"
At this moment, Zhao Ritian still looked like a baby and chubby. Although he had the cultivation level of a seventh-turn half-saint, his body had not grown at all. Compared with Zhao Ritian, Ling Xiao's depression was suddenly relieved a lot.
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry! What on earth is this lotus pond? Why can't I grow any more after recovering my cultivation to my peak?"
Zhao Ritian was so angry that he screamed loudly, with a depressed look on his face, but his voice was childish, even a little unclear, which made people laugh.
"I guess if you were born in the lotus pond and rebuilt your body first, then restored your cultivation, there shouldn't be any problem! But if we restore our cultivation to our peak, we will no longer be able to absorb even a trace of Buddha's power, so naturally our bodies will not be able to grow anymore!"
Ling Xiao said slowly.
"Then why have you grown so much?"
Zhao Ritian asked with glaring eyes.
"Me? When I was recovering my cultivation just now, I unconsciously absorbed some Buddha power to strengthen my body. I didn't expect that it made my body grow a little bit!"
Ling Xiao also smiled bitterly.
He used the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Art to devour the Buddha's power in the Lotus Pond. Although most of the power was used to restore his cultivation, some of the Buddha's power that entered his body still made his body grow a little.
As for Zhao Ritian, he used the Yan Emperor Cauldron to absorb the Buddha's power, and used it all to restore his cultivation. He didn't even bother to care about letting his body grow. But when he remembered, it was already too late.
"Then what should I do? Do I really have to climb for more than ten years before I can grow up?"
Zhao Ritian was dumbfounded. He looked at Ling Xiao eagerly and said dejectedly.
"That may not be the case! The Eight Treasures Lotus Merit Pond is very mysterious, and there may be other ways! Let's go, let's leave here first. If we are caught by those monks, it will not be a good thing!"
Ling Xiao said to Zhao Ritian.
Although the invasion of the demons almost got Ling Xiao and Zhao Ritian killed, it was also a good thing from another perspective. It destroyed the baptism of Buddha's light and allowed them to devour the vast Buddha's power in the lotus pond, which was a considerable gain.
However, it is conceivable that after what Ling Xiao and Zhao Ritian did, it would take many years to restore the Buddha's power in the lotus pond of Jinshan Temple for him to be reborn again.
Ling Xiao and Zhao Ritian felt guilty and naturally wanted to slip away quickly.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Zhao Ritian also felt a little guilty, and there were two saints fighting above his head. If he didn't leave now, when would he leave
whoosh!
Ling Xiao directly carried Zhao Ritian on his shoulders, then performed the secret technique of covering the sky to conceal the aura of both of them, and turned into a stream of light that shot rapidly toward the outside of the Birth Lotus Pond.
Ling Xiao's speed was extremely fast, like a golden lightning. In an instant he flew out of the Lotus Pond and shot towards the outside of Jinshan Temple.
"Hmm? Who?"
Old Monk Yuanming's eyes flashed, and he also felt a mysterious flickering wave in the lotus pond. A golden light shot out from it, vaguely looking like a human figure.
However, Master Yuanming was seriously injured at the moment and could not care about what happened in the lotus pond.
"Abbot, is there no one?"
A disciple from Jinshan Temple said with some confusion that he didn't even see anyone.
"Someone escaped from the Lotus Pond! I don't know if it's a powerful person who has been reborn, or a demon from outside the domain. If it's a demon from outside the domain, then we're in big trouble!"
There was a hint of worry in the eyes of old monk Yuanming.
Boom!
The battle in the void became more and more intense. The demonic power of the Heavenly Demon Saint was so overwhelming and cruel that even the Saint Puzhao was at a disadvantage. He was beaten back step by step by the Heavenly Demon Saint, and it seemed as if he would be suppressed by the Heavenly Demon Saint at any time.
"Evil creature, how dare you?!"
Suddenly, a sound like thunder exploded in the void.
boom!
The void trembled violently, and the divine light in the sky gathered together, eventually forming a golden palm print, which came across from the sky above and suppressed the Demon Saint.
That palm seemed to contain the aura of three thousand gods and demons. It was eternal and immortal, capable of suppressing the heavens and myriad worlds. It was terrifying to the extreme.
"Old bald donkey Puzhi, you actually came out of seclusion?!"
The Demon Saint exclaimed, and his expression became a little solemn.
boom!
The demonic light around him shot up into the sky and transformed into a black demonic sword, spanning billions of miles of void, as if it could cut through the sky and slash towards the golden palm print.
A terrifying divine light burst out, and only a crisp sound was heard. The black magic knife exploded with a bang, and the golden palm print directly hit the body of the Heavenly Demon Saint, knocking him thousands of feet away.
The Demon Saint staggered backward, his breath becoming somewhat disordered.
"Puzhi, you are so cruel, old bald donkey!"
The Demon Saint looked at the Puzhao Saint somewhat unwillingly and did not dare to stay here any longer. His body exploded instantly and turned into pieces of black light, flying towards the sky.
"Where are you going?"
That cold voice sounded, and the dazzling palm print once again condensed and took shape in the void, then it broke through the void in an instant and chased after the Heavenly Demon Saint.
"Thank you for the rescue, brother!"
Saint Puzhao breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.
The world within the Eight Treasures Lotus Merit Pond is vast and boundless, with countless living countries. The area where Jinshan Temple is located is named the Tang Empire, and Puzhi is the imperial teacher of the Tang Empire and the strongest person in this area. He suppresses the Eight Desolations and his strength is unfathomable.
Puzhi had been in seclusion before, so the Demon Saint dared to invade Jinshan Temple, but no one expected that Puzhi would come out at this time.
"It's the Grand Master who has taken action! Our Jinshan Temple is saved!"
There was a hint of great excitement in Master Yuanming's eyes.
"Amitabha!"
Master Yuanming and all the monks of Jinshan Temple stood up at the same time, put their hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name towards Master Puzhi, whose figure did not appear in the void.
