However, although Fahai seems to have calmed down now, his inherent coldness, bloodthirstiness, madness and paranoia can be hidden from others, but not from Xiao Ning's eyes.
It doesn't feel like his personality has changed, but rather that he has become a completely different person.
Xiao Ning stared directly into Fahai's eyes, and from his gaze, one could vaguely discern the presence of a human-headed python.
In an instant, Xiao Ning understood why Fahai had undergone such a drastic change.
He vividly recalled that the original plot had subtly mentioned that Fahai was the reincarnation of the Great Python God, one of the eight deities of the Buddhist Heavenly Dragons.
That is why he was able to attain such profound Buddhist knowledge and extraordinary spiritual cultivation at such a young age.
Now it seems that this person must have awakened his innate wisdom and completely transformed into the Great Python God.
It's just unknown how he awakened his innate wisdom—whether it was through his own enlightenment or through the intervention of Buddhism.
After awakening, is he still Fahai, or has Fahai become a part of the memories of the Great Python God?
Moreover, Xiao Ning sensed from Fahai's aura that a deep-seated malevolence was lurking in the shadows.
It was as if he were a bloodthirsty demon.
"The Fahai of today is no longer the Fahai of yesteryear!"
Fahai clasped his hands together, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "I am deeply ashamed of my past defeat, and now I wish to challenge the Heavenly Emperor once again. I hope the Heavenly Emperor will grant my request!"
"Oh? I see. I accept!"
It seems that Fahai gained the upper hand in the memory fusion process and did not become part of the giant python.
Buddhism teaches that one should refrain from all evil, do all good, and purify one's mind.
In plain terms, it means you can't do any evil deeds; you can only do good.
All things are equal.
Killing is a major taboo in Buddhism!
However, Fahai's actions nowadays are contrary to the precepts and rules of Buddhism, and it can be said that he is going further and further astray!
I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!
"Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!"
Fahai raised his eyebrows, formed a mudra with his hands, and a sky full of Buddhist light bloomed. He shouted, "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Tathagata World Honored One, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Eightfold Emptiness!"
"hold head high!"
Beneath Fahai's robe, the dragon tattoo covering his back began to writhe, as if a colossal creature were awakening.
"roar!!!!"
A tremendous roar, as loud as thunder and as powerful as a dragon, echoed through the heavens and earth.
"Whoosh!"
An indescribably enormous creature slowly descended from the heavens. It was an illusory dragon body, formed from pure Buddhist power, and its head alone was as large as a mountain.
Its enormous dragon mouth slowly opened, and a muffled, thunderous roar emanated from it.
boom!
The entire human realm sensed this change, and dozens of consciousnesses revived from afar, looking in this direction.
"It's those two again? Three years have passed, and Fahai's aura is even stronger!"
"How many moves can he withstand from the Heavenly Emperor this time?"
"Wait, that's not the Heavenly Lord's true form, just an avatar. The outcome is uncertain!"
These ideas converged in mid-air, and the discussion went on and on.
"Still the same old story, little monk. Is this all you know? You're really disappointing!"
Seeing this seemingly earth-shattering but actually fragile scene, Xiao Ning was filled with disappointment.
He stretched out a hand, and a beam of light shot out, causing petals to fall onto the enormous Buddhist dragon.
After an incense stick had burned, the Heavenly Dragon collapsed, and the flowers bore fruit.
"If this is all you've got, little monk, then I can only say I'm truly disappointed!"
During their last encounter, he saw through the flaws in the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Divine Power. To Xiao Ning, that majestic heavenly dragon was nothing more than a large behemoth that could be easily destroyed.
Hearing Xiao Ning's arrogant words, Fahai sneered: "I hope the Heavenly Lord can still laugh later. Great Black Heaven and Earth Hidden Dharma Form, emerge!"
"roar!"
His aura changed drastically, as if black flames enveloped his entire body.
Behind him, a faint swastika-shaped Buddhist wheel of ghostly fire appeared.
Soon, even its entire appearance underwent a dramatic change.
Fahai's once young and handsome face began to contort his muscles, his fangs protruded, his eyes widened, and he looked like a ferocious demon.
Most importantly, a drop of bright red blood was slowly flowing down between his eyebrows.
After the blood fell, it evaporated into thin air, leaving a vertical mark in its place.
