278: A little magic

As soon as this chain broke, Ksitigarbha immediately felt his whole body lighten. In just a fleeting moment, he felt that more than half of his magic power had returned.

Moreover, besides his magic power, he felt that his Physical Body strength seemed to be more than ten times stronger than when he was a Bodhisattva in the past!

"No wonder it took the Saint Nüwa to subdue the Vicious Beast Qiongqi back then. This Physical Body strength is truly formidable. If its soul power weren't so weak, I imagine even the Saint Nüwa would have been helpless against this Vicious Beast... In that case, the Saint would have had no choice but to completely slay him!"

Sighing helplessly, seeing Tang Ku take a few steps back and prepare to sit cross-legged, he couldn't help but smile and say, "That's enough, you can rest now. I can handle the remaining chain myself!"

"Are you sure?"

Tang Ku was slightly stunned, then immediately saw a faint smile appear on Qiongqi's face. He seemed to see some kind of peculiar temperament on the Vicious Beast's face, like a kind of... a completely incongruous look of compassion!

However, this incongruity completely vanished when a golden, holy radiance appeared on Qiongqi's body!

It was a kind of Fusion, a kind of harmony, something indescribable and unfathomable.

Tang Ku's expression was solemn, and then he pulled the Dragon Subduing Arhat back.

"Hmm, you two should retreat further..."

The two were slightly stunned, then immediately retreated again.

"Further, even further..."

The two suddenly exited the cave. The moment Tang Ku stepped out, he suddenly realized the scene before him was very familiar.

"Back then, when Sun Wukong came out from under the Five Elements Mountain, it was just like this... telling me to retreat to a safe place... Hehe, it really brings back memories!"

Tang Ku chuckled.

In the blink of an eye, the two had retreated more than ten miles away.

Suddenly, the cave over there shuddered violently, followed by a deafening clap of thunder, as if the entire Purgatory was trembling.

The heavens collapsed and the earth split, the sun and moon lost their light. The cave over there actually collapsed with a roar amidst the shaking, and a huge figure suddenly dashed out from within, flying into mid-air. The golden light was extremely dazzling, and a majestic pressure suddenly descended, as if it were not a Bodhisattva at all, but a True Buddha.

Hum!

Qiongqi's huge body suddenly descended in front of the two, hovering half a foot above the ground. Its eyes, originally as fierce as a vicious cat's, were incomparably gentle, like the feeling of care one receives from a father or brother.

"Hehe, this is my first time controlling such a Vicious Beast body, so I didn't control the power well..." Ksitigarbha said.

The Dragon Subduing Arhat said in shock: "Bodhisattva, are you... have you recovered your magic power? Why do I feel you are even stronger than before?"

"Perhaps it's because of this body. As an ancient Vicious Beast and one of the strongest of the Yao Race, it's rare to find such a formidable Physical Body below the Saint level. Coupled with the fact that my magic power has recovered by thirty or forty percent, that's why there is such a display of power. But all in all, my power is still far inferior to what it was in the past!" Ksitigarbha said in a resonant voice.

Tang Ku curled his lips: "Can you change your appearance? This look really is a bit... a bit awkward!"

"Hehe, I actually forgot... Hmm, wait a moment..."

Qiongqi's tens-of-meters-tall body visibly shrank. In the blink of an eye, it was only the size of an ordinary adult. Immediately after, a golden light flashed, and a kind-looking bald monk, dressed in a bright yellow monk's robe, appeared before the two.

"Indeed, this appearance is much more pleasing to the eye!" The Dragon Subduing Arhat chuckled, "By the way, where are your Five Buddha Crown and Kasaya?"

"In the past, that Kasaya and Five Buddha Crown were to make my Dharma appearance more solemn; they were for others to see. Now that the entire world is in danger, who am I putting on a show for?" Ksitigarbha chuckled.

Tang Ku, standing to the side, hadn't said a word for a long time, just looking Ksitigarbha up and down. Even with the Bodhisattva's peaceful state of mind, he couldn't help but feel creeped out by his gaze. Finally, unable to hold back, he asked: "Sanzang, if you have any questions, just ask. Don't hold it in and make yourself sick!"

Tang Ku suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Your... how did you conjure these clothes?"

The two couldn't help but fall over in disbelief. Ksitigarbha gave a helpless, bitter smile: "You've been pondering this for so long?"

Tang Ku said with a straight face: "You don't understand, this is very important..."

As he spoke, he recounted his distress about being on the verge of streaking, or even actually streaking, every time he fought others, leaving the two speechless and amused.

"Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?" Ksitigarbha said, laughing and crying, "Any expert at the Divine-Grade has already exerted a certain influence on the natural environment. Isn't it just a matter of reaching out and grabbing some particles from the air to mold a set of clothes?"

The Dragon Subduing Arhat said: "Golden Cicada previously lived in the Buddha hall for a long time, studying Buddha Dharma day and night. He was not very proficient in techniques and rarely fought with others, so generally, he wouldn't have the trouble of his clothes being shredded. Now that he participates in more battles, this has happened, so it is understandable!"

Although he was explaining for him, Tang Ku felt that the way the other person looked at him was like he was laughing.

"Forget it... Hmm, come closer, I will tell you the incantation. Next time a similar situation occurs, you can just make one yourself..."

As he spoke, Ksitigarbha told Tang Ku about his insights into this technique.

To put it simply, it is actually utilizing the free energy in the surrounding air to forcibly mold a piece of clothing.

In other words, this clothing is manufactured by materializing energy; its essence is still energy, not clothing.

That ability to change atomic or even molecular structures to create clothing out of thin air already involves the realm of the Creation Law. Generally speaking, only Saints can create objects out of nothing.

As for those immortals changing their appearance or the state of their clothes, ninety percent of it relies on illusion techniques.

Of course, techniques like the Six Six Arcane Art or the Eight Nine Arcane Art are a different matter; that is an ability that can be called a BUG.

Tang Ku was quite talented. With just a little guidance from Ksitigarbha, Tang Ku instantly used this method to drape a layer of Kasaya over his moon-white monk's robe. It looked just like a real Kasaya, and regardless of material or state, it was indistinguishable from real fabric.

"Hmm, it's okay for an emergency, but it's still not as comfortable as real fabric!" Tang Ku said helplessly, "I'll make do with it for now. At least from now on, I won't have to worry about streaking when I fight others!"

"Hehe, actually, external appearance is just a part of the physical skin. Why be so concerned about it?" Ksitigarbha counseled.

"I don't want to care either, but the problem is if my image collapses, then half the people in the Great Tang will have their faith collapse. Do you believe me?" Tang Ku said, finding himself unable to laugh or cry.
