"The 'Reclining Buddha' Master Yunyin was indeed beguiled by this Heavenly Demon woman; he truly believed the Heavenly Demon had left Tianyun Temple. Therefore, he let down his guard.
Who would have thought that the Heavenly Demon had quietly gone to the forbidden area of Tianyun Temple... the Reincarnation Tower.
Standing beneath the Reincarnation Tower, the Heavenly Demon looked up from the base towards the tower's peak; the radiant and colorful spire made her gaze reveal a hint of fascination, as if she was entranced,
At this moment, the dazzling brilliance seemed to carry a hint of allure; as she gazed into it, there was an uncanny feeling deep within the light, as if there was a figure of an alluring, naked woman twisting her body like a worm, appearing as if bathed in flames, in agony, yet like a drunken sword dance, full of zest, floating as if in a trance.
This illusion was extremely enchanting!
Luckily, she was a woman and naturally resistant to such temptations; if it were a man, he would inevitably be unable to control himself at this moment.
Before coming to Tianyun Temple, she had learned about the Reincarnation Tower — it is said that the top layer of the Reincarnation Tower holds a Seven-Color Night Pearl, which emits light every night.
The Heavenly Demon had no time to pay attention to these things; she flew to the top floor of the Reincarnation Tower and stood on the outer edge of the tower's railing. She lifted the lid of a clay pot, from which a wisp of green smoke emerged.
It was her younger brother's remnant soul.
As the remnant soul emerged, a chant of salvation autonomously echoed throughout the Reincarnation Tower. A beam of Buddha's Light shot out from the top of the tower, soaring skyward, as if creating a passage linking heaven and earth.
The Heavenly Demon gazed at the wondrous light, a look of surprise appearing on her face.
Hesitating slightly, she held the remnant soul in her hand, staring deeply into it, murmuring, "Little brother, may you reincarnate and be reborn. I hope you find happiness in your next life!"
Upon saying this, she released the remnant soul. It paused slightly before drifting towards the Buddha's Light, eventually entering it and along the light, moving into the night sky...
The Heavenly Demon watched as her younger brother's remnant soul finally vanished into the night sky before she reluctantly withdrew her gaze, let out a long sigh of relief, her face showing a sense of peace.
As she was about to leave, she heard a woman's voice pleading, "Please, save me!"
This voice came from inside the tower floor.
Why was there a woman at the top of the Reincarnation Tower?
Curious, the Heavenly Demon walked into the inner room of the tower floor.
Upon entering, she was met with dazzling brilliance in a radiant array of seven colors; standing in the dazzling room of the tower top, she almost couldn't open her eyes, shocked by the scene in front of her.
This layer of the tower was the smallest area of the entire tower body, only ten square meters in size, with a shiny black round table in the middle. On the tabletop was a golden Buddhist character the size of a meditation cushion, above which floated a golden bowl, and above that, suspended a red-glowing pearl swirling incessantly. Its blood-red light poured down, wholly enveloping the mouth of the golden bowl.
The seven-color light was actually emanating from inside that golden bowl!
As it turns out, the situation inside the tower was altogether different from the legends — the pearl was entirely red, not seven-color, presumably, there was another pearl inside the golden bowl, surely the Seven-Color Night Pearl!
With this conjecture, the Heavenly Demon took two steps forward, leaning in to peek inside the golden bowl.
Once she saw it, she was instantly shocked to the core.
Inside the golden bowl, there wasn't a Seven-Color Night Pearl, but rather a nearly naked woman, albeit a very tiny one, a little person the size of a hand with a transparent seven-color silk garment draped over her. From the bottom of the golden bowl, ten beams of golden light shot out, fluctuating like golden flames.
Baked by the flame-like golden light, the woman's enchanting figure kept twisting and struggling, as if bathed in flames, in anguish, yet like a drunken dance, floating as if in a trance.
So it was, so it was...
It turned out to be like this.
The legend was false; there was more to it.
There was simply no Seven-Color Night Pearl in the tower; the seven-color light was clearly emanating from the transparent seven-color silk garment on the woman. And the naked illusion within the seven-color light made sense!
Staring at the incredible scene in front of her, the Heavenly Demon was dumbfounded, standing there in bewilderment.
The woman in the golden bowl, as if sensing the Heavenly Demon's presence, twisted her body, looked up at the Heavenly Demon, and upon seeing her, her face lit up with joy, saying, "Five hundred years, and finally, I see a person!"
The Heavenly Demon was slightly stunned, feeling strangely uneasy, despite having many questions, not knowing how to start.
"Good sister, save me!" the woman pleaded.
The Heavenly Demon didn't respond, her gaze shifting from the woman to the red-glowing pearl. Inside the pearl, there seemed to be a faint stream of blood gently swirling.
The Heavenly Demon stared at the red-glowing pearl, then looked at the golden, gleaming golden bowl, her eyes filled with fascination; these two Buddhist Artifacts, with their flowing brilliance, inherent spiritual power, must be extraordinary treasures.
With a sigh, the Heavenly Demon's gaze returned to the woman; whether good or evil, demon or creature, she must be remarkable, or she wouldn't have been sealed here with the golden bowl and the pearl, two precious artifacts.
The Heavenly Demon reached out, wanting to touch the pearl, only to feel a heat emanating from it, scorching her skin, seemingly containing immense energy, so she withdrew her hand, saying, "Who are you? Why should I save you?"
"I am the Flower Demon; if you save me, I will obey you in the future," the woman said.
The Heavenly Demon was taken aback upon hearing this; she had heard of Flower Demons, who were the flower spirits refined from ten-thousand-year-old flower stalks, and once they became spirits, would absorb the Primordial Yang of men in their cultivation, having caused much trouble for men in the past.
"I can let you out, but I want you to promise me one thing."
"Say whatever it is, as long as I, the Flower Demon, can do it, I surely won't refuse."
"I want you to ruin the monks of Tianyun Temple, and I want you to harm the men of Yue Kingdom."
The Heavenly Demon was a person who retaliated for grievances; Master Yunyin's rejection a moment ago had made her angered, so she wanted to take revenge on Tianyun Temple. Moreover, not only did she want to take revenge on Tianyun Temple, but also on Yue Kingdom; she was such an extreme woman, loving deeply and hating with no restraint, ruthless and vicious.
"Rest assured, sister, harming men is the Flower Demon's forte," the Flower Demon said with a seductive smile.
The Heavenly Demon asked, "How do I save you?"
The Flower Demon urgently said, "Sister, just move the red pearl."
The Heavenly Demon thought, anyway, the calamity had already been brought, the mistake made, might as well follow it through to the end.
Thinking of this, she reached out, grasping the hot pearl.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the entire world, accompanied by a thunderous boom, a sudden strike out of the blue, as if divine wrath, shaking the whole tower.
At the clap of thunder, the Heavenly Demon looked up in astonishment, raising her head to the window; deep within her heart, an inexplicable sense of guilt arose, and her hand holding the pearl trembled violently. Almost loosening her grip, the Flower Demon timely reminded, "To accomplish great things, one must eliminate all obstacles on the path of the heart!"
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Demon steeled her heart, her expression grim, moving the pearl with all her might. The red glow swirled chaotically on the pearl,
once it was moved away from above the golden bowl, the red light abruptly dissipated, and it revealed a seemingly ordinary pearl; as the red light vanished, the heat also dispersed.
The flame-like golden light inside the golden bowl also dissipated; these Magic Artifacts were controlled and combined with Immortal Law, mutually resonating, complementing each other, the spiritual power intermingled, once one was moved, the others lost their effect.
The Flower Demon leaped out from the golden bowl, as she landed on the ground, she had transformed into the size of an ordinary human, stark white, alluring body, wearing only a transparent, brightly clear seven-color silk garment, exuding both fairy-like elegance and demonic allure, truly a combination of angel and demon, unparalleled in breathtaking beauty.
With the breaking of the seal, the dazzling seven-color silk garment on her flashed and extinguished immediately; even so, it appeared silkily transparent, in seven distinct colors, clearly a Treasure Clothes.
"Finally free... haha... hahaha..." The Flower Demon laughed in delight and riotously. She seemed to have entered a state of forgetfulness.
The Flower Demon had been trapped in this golden bowl for over five hundred years, suppressed by two supreme Magic Treasures above and below, in excruciating pain, fortunately protected by the 'Seven-Color Neon Clothes', which had spared her life. Now regaining freedom, her excitement was unparalleled,
She grabbed the golden bowl and said to the Heavenly Demon, "Sister, this is the Tianyun Temple Golden Bowl of Salvation, very powerful, you can use it." (To be continued.
