Chapter Forty-Nine: The Golden Bridge on the Other Shore, Wh
ed, my father told me, "In your life, besides loyalty, you have no other virtues. But as long as you keep this one, it is enough."Li Yang remembered this very clearly.The lord had thought more than on...This is a deep starry sky.
The vastness is unseen in the past.
Under the starry sky, lies a pool of dark stillness.

The light does not illuminate the future.
It is said in "Chaosangwu" that the gods born from heaven have always lived there, refusing visitors from ancient and modern times.
This is the Sea of Spiritual Gods.
But then, one saw a magnificent and imposing Temple of the Divine Essence, standing between heaven and sea. Majestic mountain veins like coiled dragons lay upon its roof ridges.
Suddenly, a speck of gold appeared at the edge of the starry sky, like the faint glow of dawn, as the sun was just rising. Immediately after, a beam of crimson light shot through from that end of the starry sky, piercing this world in an instant!
Combining the "Inner Palace" and "Outer Pavilion" chapters of the Divine Yang's Eye technique, and using the Scarlet Eyes of Divine Yang as a foundation, Jiang Wang pondered a completely new soul-killing method. This required a huge expenditure of energy, and after countless revisions on the Dao Platform, it was finally completed.

Its name is the Golden Percussion Instrument of the Cave.
"The so-called 'ta' is a wooden staff used for striking during night watch duty."
The so-called "dong jin tao" refers to the power of breaking through the long night with the striking force of a gold chisel. It symbolizes the first ray of light piercing the darkness.
The external manifestation of this art is a beam of pure gold light.
This is the true level of divine gaze technique, a powerful and extraordinary soul-killing art. It's also the first time Jiang Wang has used it against an enemy, showing his importance placed on Dou Zhao!
As soon as the golden chime rang.
In an instant, the starry sky split apart, and the silent sea opened.
As if the sun had just risen, it possessed a terrifying power, enveloping this metaphysical sea.
But listening—whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The roars of the world, resounding here!
Dou Zhao's brilliant will fills this world, blazing like a roaring inferno.
Stars glimmered with life, and Tian Jiao strode through the night sky. In an instant, they transformed into a radiant battle saber, held aloft by a giant hand of starlight. With a mere bend in mid-air, following a mysterious path, it cleaved through the golden light!
This sword is truly like a white horse galloping through a gap, as fast as time and incredibly precise.
>
But this beam of gold light held an ancient, unchanging meaning.
The starlight saber slashed across the crimson beam, but with a deafening roar that reverberated through their very souls, it shattered and dispersed into motes of light.
In a collision devoid of embellishment, this starlight blade was shattered!
The chime of golden chimes still fell, carrying the momentum of thoroughly shattering this world's primordial spirit sea. It descended vertically, crashing through layer upon layer of hidden obstructions.
Dragons roar as the four seas surge.
Above the Temple of Divine Revelation, a Daoist dragon with magnificent spirit and visible scales and claws suddenly opened its eyes. Its golden light pierced through everything, and it instantly soared into the sky.
With a single raise of its dragon claw, thousands of streaks of light flashed.

In the sea of primordial spirits, it seemed as if a colossal firework had exploded. Each ray of light was a blade of energy. The blades of energy gathered by the spiritual consciousness presented various properties, some cold and dark, some fiery hot, some deep and profound, some wild and unrestrained.Blades of energy with distinct properties slashed across intricate trajectories, madly hacking at the crimson beam of light!

The secret martial art of the Great Chu treasury, Soul Severing Technique, a thousand transformations and ten thousand illusions, the God-slaying Blade!
At the inner palace level, there were very few cultivators who could use soul-killing techniques. The one that impressed Jiang Wang the most was Xiang Bei.
Furthermore, because of the protection that Tiangong provides to souls, before a divine manifestation, cultivators' strength in the soul realm usually cannot determine the outcome of a battle. Of course, it is still possible to establish a slight advantage in most situations—and that is already enough.
The means to establish a stable advantage in battle is undoubtedly at the level of a killer's bronze. Xiangbei, relying on his innate heavy pupils and the Xiang clan's secret soul-killing technique, could even plunder more soul-level results at the inner mansion level, but he was just an exception. When facing someone as powerful as Jiang Wang's soul, recklessly entering the Tongtian Palace would only result in losses.
And after the heavens and earth were connected, divine and soul killing techniques became more common. They no longer confined themselves to the spiritual realm, and battlefields were not usually in the Heavenly Palace.
Someone as powerful and well-connected as Dou Zhao would naturally possess formidable spiritual techniques.
This Thousand Transformations and Myriad Illusions Slashing Divine Sword, once unleashed, was like a torrential downpour. The clash of metal resonated continuously. Golden and starlight shot back and forth, transforming the entire primordial spirit sea into a dreamlike realm. Spiritual consciousnesses colliding with each other produced such dazzling light!
The falling momentum of the golden chime was abruptly halted.
For this very moment.
The majestic and serene Jiang Wang, seated cross-legged on a lotus platform, is enveloped in golden Buddhist light, suddenly appearing before us.
The imposing golden cymbal, it seems, is merely a prelude to the true Buddha's arrival.
A sea of brilliant light formed his backdrop, the dazzling splendor unfolding like a blooming flower.
The incessant clanging of metal, in a trance-like state, had become melodious. The rhythm rose and fell dramatically, stirring the soul.
This Bodhisattva who appears in the world, opens his mouth and recites: “When I attain nirvana, all kinds of miraculous phenomena do not manifest to those who hear or see. Ask the World-Honored One, what should lay disciples learn from With Vajra Body, Arhat Fruit, all Dharma remains unimpeded.”
Exotic flowers fall from the sky, and golden lotuses bloom on the ground.
In the ocean of primordial spirits, a world of illusions is born.
All the magnificence and splendor, all the enchanting melodies. Thousands of nations come to pay their respects, there's nothing like it in the world. They indulge in every conceivable luxury, thus making their sights and sounds boundless.
In such a triumphant scene, the majestic and awe-inspiring Yunshen Temple finally opened its doors.
When the true Buddha descends, who dares not show respect
In the midst of a deafening roar, a radiant young man emerged. Raising his eyes to meet the Six Desire Bodhisattva who had instantly subdued the sea of divine spirits, he chuckled softly: "Where were you eavesdropping on the Buddhist scriptures"
>
"Appearing in the form of a bodhisattva, she smiled and said, 'There is a monk named Jinghai at Xuankong Temple.'"
Dou Zhao laughed even brighter: “This Buddhist scripture seeks eternal immortality, invincibility over all laws, and it all rests on the word 'preservation'. That monk named Jinghai used it for an attack”
The Dou family is a thousand-year-old aristocratic family, with generations of marquesses. Which of the hundreds of schools and styles hasn't Dou Zhao come into contact with Not to mention that he had once slain demons outside the heavens, obtaining the true sound of the Great Freedom Suffering Sea. If you truly want to speak of understanding Buddhism, compared to Jiang Wang, who calls himself a person with Buddhist affinity, it is unknown how much stronger Dou Zhao is. Therefore, just by hearing it, he felt it lacked harmony.
Jiang Wangdao: "There's no other way, I don't know anything else. You just make do and listen."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Next time, you could read the Diamond Sutra. There is a passage in it that aligns very well with your killing art," Dou Zhao suggested.
“Okay, I’ll go find it to read.” Jiang Wang respectfully accepted the advice.
>
Dou Zhao walked out while chatting casually with Jiang Wang.
The two of them were so friendly, like old friends who had been reunited after a long time.
...while the spiritual consciousness has collided millions of times within this primordial spirit sea!
When facing ordinary divine cultivators, the Six Desire Bodhisattva, who was almost invincible, truly felt helpless when confronting a powerful figure like Dou Zhao.
Of the six desires, which one can shake the heart of a wise person
The magical arts of the Great Chu surpass all others under heaven. While Dou Zhao's spiritual awareness may not be as profound as Jiang Wangxiong's, his methods are no less formidable.
Thousands of transformations and illusions, a divine-slaying blade, is merely a child's play.
At every step he took, golden light flowed beneath his feet like water. The farther he went, the higher he climbed. Between him and Jiang Wang, a golden bridge had been built!
This connects the heavens, stretching across the vast expanse.
The moment this bridge appeared, it instantly subdued all four seas and brought all directions under control.
Liusha's dream world, woven by a bodhisattva who transcended the six realms of desire, directly confronted Jiang Wang's soul.
Dòu Family's Secret Transmission, Divine Soul Killing Art, Bridge to the Other Shore!
This wasn't even a soul-killing technique of the Divine Manifestation tier, it was originally a method from the Derivative Path level, an unparalleled secret art of the Elder Matriarch Dou. It's just that due to Dou Zhao's cultivation level restrictions, it could only exert the power of the Divine Manifestation tier.
That melodious voice, the beautiful illusion, all gradually faded away, as if being separated into another world.
Dou Zhao strode across the golden bridge, the spirit of the Heavenly Tyrant Saber already materialized in his hand. His inner and outer being trembled with divine light, a terrifying aura beginning to manifest. Even before the blade was unsheathed, cracks had appeared on Jiang Wang's Bodhisattva Golden Body!
In the Seven Styles of Battle, there is a move that specifically targets the soul, namely the Fifth Style: Soul Decay.
Jiang Wang was naturally familiar with it.
My mind has already rehearsed this countless times.
Upon seeing such a grand display, the Bodhisattva lowered her brow.
The gleam in her eyes dimmed instantly.
The colossal golden body collapsed with a deafening roar! The dreamlike world that catered to all six desires and fulfilled every extravagant fantasy also crumbled into ruin.
With the golden body of this Bodhisattva as the centerline, it was instantly cut in half at the waist.
The upper half transformed into a flock of flaming birds, scattering across the sky and chirping incessantly, creating a chaotic and tumultuous scene.
The lower half was directly shattered, with countless black snakes drilling out, looking especially ferocious and terrifying.
>
With his soul arts at a disadvantage, Jiang Wang chose to overpower Dou Zhao with his powerful spiritual consciousness. He directly stirred up chaos in Dou Zhao's primordial spirit sea, aiming to win by brute force and overwhelm him.
But that brilliant golden bridge spanned the sky, standing firm and motionless, directly suppressing everything. What divine soul flamebirds and divine soul hidden snakes there were, only rippled slightly, unable to make a splash at all.
Dou Zhao raised his sword and stood on the golden bridge, looking back. He saw a ray of crimson gold dissipating at the horizon. He knew that the soul-killing technique he had specifically prepared for Jiang Wang ultimately failed to achieve greater results. The other party was too cunning, too decisive, and held an advantage in spiritual awareness, making it difficult to eliminate them here.
But that's normal.
After all, it's Jiang Wang, isn't it
He merely smiled indifferently, drawing his sword with a flick of his wrist—under the shroud of the golden bridge on the other side, this strike held the terrifying power of "thought becomes reality, all thoughts become reality"!
As the blade descended, a chilling light burst forth. A terrifying sword force gently smeared across the soul sea, eradicating everything that had gone astray. With a step and a turn, his body was already back within the Profound God Temple.
This battle in the Sea of Souls, from the perspective of the spectators, was just a brief glance between Jiang Wang and Dou Zhao. A red light flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes.
A thought arises, a thought falls.
As for Jiang Wang, he knew that a figure like Dou Zhao would never leave him any loopholes. His soul level must have been prepared long ago, but he was still surprised by the terrifying power of Dou Zhao's soul-killing technique.
His spiritual awareness was completely ineffective against Dou Zhao. It was precisely because of his powerful spiritual awareness that he had the freedom to engage in this soul-stirring contest, even if he hadn't reacted properly just now, he might have been crushed by that golden bridge on the spot.
To fully unleash the advantages of spiritual awareness, one still needs to learn more high-quality soul arts. Thoughts had been weighed a thousand times over, yet his gaze shifted with a mere blink. The battle of souls had just concluded, and the crimson true fire was already ignited within Dou Zhao!
>
But in the next moment, boundless golden light surged like a tide. Between the waves of shock and awe, the red fire was extinguished—Dou Zhuang directly manifested his Dou Zhan Golden Body!
>
He didn't confront the Samadhi True Fire slowly, he didn't give it a chance to burn continuously. This was undoubtedly the most correct choice. It also sufficiently demonstrated that Dou Zhao already understood the nature of the Samadhi True Fire.
As soon as the golden body appeared, it fought throughout ancient and modern times.
The light seemed to dim for a moment, leaving only one brilliant presence.
A red-and-gold martial robe, billowing and swirling in the wind.
His body was like cast gold, the Heavenly Saber raised to the sky in a flash, instantly crossing the distance beyond the martial platform, with a single strike descending upon him!
This knife falls.
There are thousands of mountains falling, tens of thousands of rivers running; there are birds flying away, foxes and rabbits dying; witnessing the rise and fall of dynasties, the ever-changing landscape.
Every figure and landscape, every scene, all dance and shimmer within the sway of the sword.
F Buddhism swordsmanship, Great Illusion Indra Sword!
In Sanskrit, Indra is the king of gods. This sword is named after him, and its power and might are evident.
In the Sea of Souls, Jiang Wang used the Six Desires Bodhisattva to create a blissful illusion, intending to trap Dou Zhao in it.
Once outside, Dou Zhao wielded this sword to conjure countless phantoms, intending to deceive Jiang Wang.
They were evenly matched, each refusing to yield an inch.
Facing such a blow, Jiang Wang planted his feet firmly on the ground, not retreating but advancing instead, already drawing his sword!
For a moment, the world was illuminated. A white streak, like lightning, flashed in a tiny space between heaven and earth.
Fleeting, like a dream.
His sword was still in his hand, as if it had never been unsheathed.
Nor had they heard the clang of swords.
But that thousands of mountains and rivers, birds and foxes, all split open from the middle.
The entire Great Illusion-Cutting Blade slashed through layers of phantoms, like yellow leaves falling in the autumn wind, scattering and fading away piece by piece. Jiang Wang gazed at this sword, named "One Line Heaven."
This can be seen as an advanced sword style of "distinguished scholars falling into ruin, life and death feuding".
Once, in the Soul-Shattering Gorge, I gazed upon a sliver of heaven, walking the tightrope between life and death. I leapt from the river of fate, only to fall back into its depths.
After attaining enlightenment, he practiced diligently in the Jixia Academy, making some progress but failing to achieve complete fulfillment.
A few days ago, I ventured into the barren lands, hunting down monsters. Listening to the clanging of camels' bells, I witnessed the lives hanging by a thread between two tribes. This sword is finally complete.
With one sword strike, this side is heaven, that side is earth. This side is life, that side is death.
Thus, Dou Zhao's great illusion Indra blade technique was shattered.
As the Buddha attained nirvana.
At this point, the two were very close. Jiang Wang's entire body was already bathed in the golden light of the Dou Zhan Jin Shen.
And he merely flicked his wrist with a nonchalant air, drawing the sword Longing for Thoughts once more. This time, its form was crystal clear as it unsheathed itself, unleashing thousands of sword threads that resembled snow – a truly glorious display of Frost and Snow Brilliance!
His sword qi formed threads, imitating Zhang Xun's Danxin Sword. It was originally achieved by forcibly superimposing the power of a mighty soul and starlight, using a crude method to achieve a similar effect.
Now that the divine manifestation has been achieved, with spiritual awareness refined, he still hasn't followed Zhang Xun's path. Instead, he utilizes his Seven Star Tower to its fullest extent. Integrating starlight into sword energy, he condenses it into sword silk.
Compared to Zhang Xun's sword energy, it was less pure and sharp, but more majestic and numerous.
As for the sword style itself, it was inferior to Zhang Xun's sword qi. However, under Jiang Wang's mastery of the Star Road, with starlight flowing freely and unrestricted, it could extinguish Zhang Xun's sword without any doubt—had it not been for the Battle of Redemption City after which Zhang Xun's sword qi became silk-like, there wouldn't have been much improvement.
In Jiang Wang's hands, Frost and Snow were completely overwhelming in terms of sheer quantity.
This sword strike, when unleashed, was just like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, with snowflakes dancing all over.
All the scorching suns, golden bodies battling in the arena, and the Azure-Toothed Platform were all gone.
As far as the eye can see, all that is visible is boundless white!
Even with Jin Gonghao's cultivation, he couldn't see the two people beneath Jian Xue when he used his full eyesight.
>
Because what he saw was not an illusion, nor a sword shadow, but real threads of sword energy.
Each sword thread is the ultimate condensation of sword energy, as substantial as reality, capable of cutting gold and jade.
And spreading out in this moment, is such grandeur, such surging power, it's like the East Sea has come raging!
Only the two combatants could see through each other.
Dou Zhao stood in the midst of a moonlit expanse of white sword snow, his momentum undiminished, his spirit unyielding. He gracefully performed three moves—
Sever all worldly attachments! Sit in meditation! See enlightenment!
A fearsome blade, the Heavenly Saber, now stood solemn and still, its reflection swallowed by the darkness.

Such a grand Dou Zhao, wielding the Great Illusion Vajra Sword, cuts out compassion, cuts out extinction, and cuts with the might of Buddha reborn!

A fearsome blade, the Tianshao sword, stood solemn and austere at this moment, its reflection swallowed by the stillness.
What a formidable Dou Zhao, wielding the set of Grand Illusion Indra Blades, cutting out compassion, cutting out birth and death, cutting as if Buddha himself were reborn!

Such a massive amount of sword qi, threads that were numerous and powerful, was all drained away in just a few breaths by Dou Zhao.
And he burst from the vast expanse of snow, his crimson robes with gold trim like flowers blooming in the snow.

Still facing Jiang Wang, both hands gripping the Tianshao sword tightly, this person was so arrogant, and this sword was so flamboyant! A diagonal slash aimed straight at his neck!
Space suddenly froze.

The air around instantly vanished.
Above Jiang Wang's head, a blood-red "slash" hung, with an unyielding rigidity that felt like the very heavens and earth. Its strokes were dripping with fresh blood.
Cruel and ruthless, displaying utmost majesty!
Buddhas come to kill Buddhas, gods come to slay gods!
This is the ultimate sword technique of the Legalist school, a single-character slash that decides victory! them with his hands.However, when the pitch-black shackles of imprisonment bore that bloody inscription...Something strange happened.The two blood characters vanished, stroke by stroke.And the entire...
