Apart from his parents, no one, including gods and Buddhas, could make Li Yao kneel down.
Subsequently, Bu Jingyun, Hei Tong, and Xue Damo followed and entered.
Nie Feng hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands together in prayer before following him inside.
The group walked forward.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed like lightning.
It was a huge scythe, two zhang long and weighing a thousand jin.
It came crashing down with the force of thunder.
This is the price of not kneeling before gods and demons.
when!
Just as Bai Suzhen was about to make her move, the huge scythe suddenly shattered into pieces.
A loud 'clang' was heard.
Countless blades were scattered on the ground.
Bai Suzhen turned around in surprise and said to Li Yao, "What swift movements!"
Bu Jingyun and the other three were even more surprised.
Because the sickle was so fast, they only had one thought in their minds at that moment: dodge.
Instead of dodging, Li Yao smashed the sickle to pieces with incredible speed.
Both his speed and his internal strength are beyond imagination.
Li Yao smiled and said, "I'll make a fool of myself!"
Bai Suzhen explained:
"This wooden dummy alley was built by Huike, the beloved disciple of the eminent monk Bodhidharma."
"Huike was proficient in mechanical arts and numerology. He forged the Heart of Bodhidharma, carefully arranged this Wooden Dummy Alley, and hid the Heart of Bodhidharma inside the Sacred Gate behind the Wooden Dummy Alley."
"Therefore, we need to be careful."
After saying that, Bai Suzhen led Li Yao and the others forward, passing through the long alley.
Then, the group walked to the end of the alley.
At this moment, Bai Suzhen's expression clearly changed, and her face became much paler.
It was as if she was under an invisible pressure that was causing her great pain.
However, she remained calm and patient, without even flinching.
In contrast to Bai Suzhen's suffering, Li Yao, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun were actually excited.
They all sensed that there was some mysterious force around them, resonating with the power within their bodies.
"We've reached the end, and it seems like there's no road ahead?"
Nie Feng asked in confusion.
Bai Suzhen shook her head slightly and pointed to an inconspicuous dark corner.
There, a large crystal sphere was prominently displayed.
Inside the crystal ball, there seemed to be some text engraved on it.
Nie Feng craned his neck and read it aloud:
"The end is not always the same; at the end of one alley, there is still another alley."
"To enter the alley within an alley, one must keep the scriptures within the scriptures in mind;"
"Have the scriptures in your heart, speak the scriptures, see the scriptures, and walk the scriptures."
"Only by following the guidance of the scriptures can one attain enlightenment."
Li Yao shook his head and smiled, "You're just being deliberately mysterious again."
Nie Feng's face showed disbelief as he said, "This crystal ball is perfectly intact, yet someone has carved words inside it. This is simply unbelievable."
Bu Jingyun, Hei Tong, and others also deeply agreed.
It is indeed possible to injure someone from a distance.
However, it is possible to carve words in hard crystal from a distance without damaging the crystal at all.
This level of skill is probably beyond the realm of ordinary people.
"What's so difficult about that?"
Li Yao smiled slightly, extended his index finger, gathered his true energy, and made a few strokes in the air towards the crystal ball.
Inside the crystal ball, below the four characters "方证菩提" (Fang Zheng Bodhi), the four characters "故弄玄虚" (Gu Nong Xuan Xu) were added.
The crystal ball remains intact!
Nie Feng and the others were dumbfounded. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that there was actually someone in the world who could carve words in the crystal ball from a distance without damaging the crystal at all.
Therefore, Li Yao has already reached an extraordinary level!
Bai Suzhen's face showed admiration, and she said, "Lord Li's skill is truly astounding."
At this point, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "A few days ago, I sensed that the legendary Sword Realm seemed to have been opened. Was it you?"
Li Yao nodded and said, "That's right, it was I and the Nameless Sword Technique that opened the Sword Realm."
"No wonder, no wonder..."
Bai Suzhen's admiration deepened, and she exclaimed, "I never imagined that Lord Li's cultivation was so profound, far surpassing mine."
Li Yao smiled and said, "You flatter me!"
After his initial amazement, Nie Feng pointed at the crystal ball and asked Bai Suzhen, "What is the purpose of this crystal ball?"
Bai Suzhen simply smiled and did not answer.
She held the crystal ball in her hand and gently spun it to the right.
A rumbling sound rang out, and the stone wall in front of them suddenly and slowly parted to the sides.
A huge stone chamber appeared before them.
It turns out that the crystal ball is the button to open the stone chamber.
At this moment, Bai Suzhen's face turned even paler.
She did not enter the stone chamber, but said to everyone, "As far as I know, this is the real Wooden Dummy Alley. I can only lead you this far. Next, either Nie Feng or Bu Jingyun will need to get through the Wooden Dummy Alley."
Nie Feng asked in confusion, "Why do I or Senior Brother Yun need to go through the Wooden Dummy Alley?"
Bai Suzhen explained, "Did you obtain 'Maha Boundless' from the gods?"
"Yes, is this related to Wooden Dummy Alley?"
Nie Feng nodded.
Bai Suzhen nodded and explained:
"That's right, the immeasurable Maha of the gods is actually 'Celestial Maha,' which originates from the 'Primordial Maha' created by Bodhidharma."
"There are twenty-two wooden figures in this Wooden Dummy Alley. When Huike designed the mechanisms and wooden figures, he incorporated the essence of the 'Yuanji Maha' techniques into the twenty-two wooden figures."
"Then, by controlling their movements with iron chains, once the mechanism is triggered, those wooden figures can unleash the 'Yuanji Maha' technique."
"Back then, when the god learned that Shaolin had this unique skill, he broke into the Wooden Dummy Alley and fought against those wooden dummies."
"Although he did not succeed in making it through, he only made it halfway and had to give up."
"But through his battle with the wooden man, he actually grasped half of the essence of 'Yuanji Maha'."
"Later, I met him, and he told me this half of the 'Yuanji Maha', hoping that I could understand the essence of the second half from it."
"Later, I discovered that he was only interested in power, which ran counter to my ideals of 'fairness and democracy,' and we often argued as a result."
"I never imagined that God, in order to maintain his authority and to be even more wary of my abilities, would poison me."
"Later he buried me near Hailuogou, which is a snowy and icy place."
"But he never expected that I had also cultivated the Heaven-Shifting Divine Technique and the World-Destroying Demon Body."
"If he had torn me to pieces back then, I might have died completely."
"Unfortunately, he didn't."
"More than ten years later, the poison in my body was removed by the Heaven-Shifting Divine Technique and the World-Destroying Demon Body."
"And so, I was reborn."
"However, the Heaven-Shifting Divine Technique and the World-Destroying Demon Body were also completely lost as a result."
"Moreover, I have discovered that my body is aging at an extremely rapid rate and will soon truly die."
"But I'm not willing to accept this."
"Finally, just before I died, I finally comprehended the 'Six Great Crossings of Demons'."
“Then, I found a girl who looked exactly like me and was on the verge of death, and performed ‘life-saving’ on her.”
"And so, I was reborn in another way."
"In order to avenge myself against the gods, I studied the 'Heavenly Extreme Maha' diligently, trying to find a way to counter this skill."
"In the end, I decided to do the opposite and created the 'Earthly Extreme Maha', which is completely opposite to the 'Yuanji Maha' and even the 'Tianji Maha'."
"However, I found out I was wrong."
"As I approached the Wooden Dummy Alley, which contained the essence of 'Yuanji Maha', I discovered that my 'Diji Maha' power was weakening."
"Therefore, I simply cannot get through the Wooden Dummy Alley."
At this point, Bai Suzhen looked at Nie Feng and said, "You and Bu Jingyun possess the 'Heavenly Extreme Maha,' which is the same in nature as the 'Primordial Extreme Maha,' and you are compatible with each other. You should be able to pass through the Wooden Dummy Alley."
Nie Feng suddenly realized, then looked at Li Yao and said, "So, the city lord can also pass through the Wooden Dummy Alley."
Why?
Bai Suzhen was greatly puzzled, then her eyes darted around and she said to Li Yao, "Could it be that you also know 'Tianji Maha'?"
