The Xuan Room of the Juxuan Pagoda was much larger than Yun Che had expected. There was a very strong Xuanli seal around it. When he walked into the Xuan Room and closed the door of the Xuan Room, he felt as if he was completely isolated from the outside world. He could not feel the slightest breath or sound from the outside.
The aura of mysterious power here is also astonishingly strong.
A red shadow swayed in front of Yun Che, and Jasmine slowly appeared there. She looked around and nodded slowly: "Yes, this place is completely isolated from the outside world. Any sound or movement will not be transmitted to the outside world. It is an excellent place for cultivation."
"Three months later, it will be the date for you to fight with Murong Yi. With your fifty-four gates of the Heretic God Profound Veins fully opened, you can cultivate your profound strength here for three months, and with the help of the evil spirit and the Phoenix Flame Force, you can indeed barely defeat Murong Yi in three months. But if you can improve your profound strength and cultivate the first level of the 'Great Buddha Art' during these three months, then it will no longer be a barely victorious victory, but an absolute crushing victory across levels!"
"However, the 'Great Buddha Art' is extremely difficult to practice. If your comprehension ability is not good enough, it will take a long time just to get started. At the beginning, even a peerless genius like my brother took a full thirty-three days to get a glimpse of the 'Great Buddha Art'. Therefore, it is indeed a bit difficult for you to cultivate the first level of the 'Great Buddha Art' within three months, but it is not impossible. At the Phoenix Trial Ground, you were able to comprehend the fifth and sixth levels of the Phoenix Flame Skills of the Phoenix World Ode while bypassing the Phoenix Flame Power Realm. This is enough to prove that your comprehension is not weak."
Jasmine finished speaking, with her two tender hands behind her back. Her slender figure stood straight in front of Yun Che. Her extremely cute face was icy cold, and her tone was even more mature: "Now, sit on the ground and close your eyes. I will imprint the profound formula of the first level of the 'Great Buddha Formula' into your heart. How long it will take for you to truly comprehend it and find the door to cultivation depends on your own ability to comprehend it."
Yun Che followed his instructions and sat down in the center of the Xuanjian, calming his mind and closing his eyes.
Jasmine stepped forward, stretched out her spring-bud-like, tender fingers, and gently touched Yun Che’s head.
In the silence, the profound formula of the first level of “The Great Buddha Formula” was silently imprinted in Yun Che’s heart.
But when he tried to touch these profound techniques with his mind, Yun Che fell into a long period of confusion. Because these profound techniques were clearly imprinted in his heart, but they were so vague and ethereal. He used his mind, his spirit, his profound strength... He tried every way, but when he touched these profound techniques, they were like mist that could be seen but could not be touched, and they dissipated at the touch of a finger.
Yun Che's heartbeat and breathing became slow and even, and he entered a more peaceful state. His five senses were completely cut off from the outside world, and he focused all his consciousness on capturing these profound techniques. However, the more he focused, the more confused he became... He felt that his mind was like being in the center of a vast ocean, and he didn't know how to walk to find the other side.
At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Sixteen-year-old young man, have you really realized the meaning of the 'Great Buddha Jue'?"
This sound does not come from the ears, but from the depths of the soul.
“Yes.” Yun Che answered in his heart.
"Then what is your awareness?" the old voice continued to ask.
“I desire power, power that can transcend everything and protect everything I want to protect. This is my awakening.” Yun Che said word by word.
"Very good." The old voice revealed praise: "This is indeed the enlightenment deeply imprinted in your soul. You are quite straightforward. However, if you want to practice this 'Dao Fu Tu Jue', you must first understand what 'Dao' and 'Fu Tu' are. So, please tell me, what do you understand by 'Dao' and 'Fu Tu'?"
What is the Great Dao? What is the Buddha?
Yun Che thought for a long time before he slowly said, “The Great Dao is the basic law between heaven and earth. The Dao exists in nature, in all things, and in every space and time between heaven and earth.”
"People are born as infants, and then grow up. If they are mortals, their life span is no more than a hundred years. This is the Tao. Water can extinguish fire, grass cannot grow taller than trees, and there is not only land in the world, but also the sky and the sea... These are all Tao! They are the most basic laws of the world. These Taos are intertwined together to form the foundation of this world, fill the world's content, create various orders in the world, and make everything in the world run according to these 'Tao'."
“This is what I understand as the avenue.”
"As for the pagoda, it is a microcosm of the great way of the world that symbolizes kindness, compassion, and forgiveness."
"Hehehe." The old voice laughed peacefully: "Young man, at your age, it is rare for you to have such an understanding of the 'Tao'. Then, how about I take you to recall your life's Tao?"
Yun Che: “!?”
The darkness in front of Yun Che's eyes suddenly disappeared completely, and a colorful picture slowly appeared.
This is a beautiful place with green grass and gurgling streams. A middle-aged man in his fifties with a kind face carried
Medicine basket, walked slowly along the stream until he saw a little baby boy by the stream. The baby boy looked like he was just a few days old, naked, with only an exquisite pendant hanging around his neck...
“Master…” Yun Che cried out with a choked voice as he watched the middle-aged man quickly walk towards the baby and carefully pick him up.
An old voice sounded: "This is the scene on the third day after you were born in Cangyun Continent. What kind of Tao did you come into contact with at that time?"
Yun Che was silent, and then he said: "Tao is the rule... I was abandoned, I did not die at that time, and my fate with Master was all determined by the Great Dao... These are all Tao."
"very good."
The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and he saw the gate of the Xiao Clan in Liuyun City. He was walking out of the gate with a stiff expression, and behind him, he was enduring countless contemptuous, sneering, and gloating gazes.
That was the scene of him being expelled from the Xiao Clan. Until now, he still clearly remembered the deep anger in his heart at that time, as well as his worry about his grandfather and little aunt, and his resentment and unwillingness towards his own incompetence.
"This was in the Profound Sky Continent. You were already sixteen years old, but you still did nothing. You were kicked out of your home. Except for your family, everyone else looked at you coldly, sneered at you, and then quickly forgot about you, because you were so humble at that time that no one cared about you... What kind of 'Tao' was in you at that time?"
“Perhaps, this is an obstacle and test given to me by the way of heaven.” Yun Che said lightly.
"Haha, according to your understanding of 'Dao', Dao is the general term for all the rules of nature. Then, it means that you believe that no matter what you do in this life, or even in the next life, you will never be able to escape the control and arrangement of this 'Dao', because your every move, every word and deed, as well as all the people and things around you, are within the rules and order woven by the Dao, right?"
“…” Yun Che was stunned and did not answer for a long time.
The scene in front of him changed again. It was a green bamboo forest, but it was in a mess as if it had just been hit by a storm. Between the broken bamboos, he was holding a quiet and delicate girl, crying heartbreakingly, but the girl was already dead and could never answer him again...
"Ling'er..."
“This is your only true love in Cangyun Continent, Su Ling’er. In your soul, this is your most painful moment. Even now, this pain has not completely disappeared and is still engraved in the depths of your soul. If you believe that everything in the world cannot escape the rules of the Great Dao, then, if you were given a chance to start over, would you believe that neither you nor she could escape the arrangement of the Great Dao, and that she would still leave you at the same time and in the same place?”
Yun Che: “…………”
The scene changed again. It was a cliff with no visible top and no visible bottom. There was a cliff above and an abyss below. And he was falling down in despair...
"This is your last scene in Cangyun Continent. You were forced into a desperate situation, swallowed the Sky Poison Pearl, and jumped into the abyss. You thought that was the last moment of your life, but when you woke up, you found yourself reborn, and reborn in another continent. What is the Tao that you are reborn to bear? If you die completely, what is the Tao that controls all this? After you die, what does the Tao leave for you?"
Yun Che: “…”
The scene in front of him completely disappeared, and the old voice also stopped and no longer sounded. Yun Che's heart was in chaos, his consciousness was churning, his soul was turbulent, some things that he once thought were the truth, some things that he subconsciously thought could not be changed, were turned upside down in the chaos... His entire sea of consciousness was like a huge wave that could not be calmed for a long time. And the profound formula of "Dao Fu Tu Jue" was like duckweed on the sea, tossed away with the waves.
This confusion lasted for a long time... I don't know how long it took, but Yun Che's heart finally calmed down little by little. After a long period of calm, he suddenly laughed, and his laughter was very comfortable and relaxed, as if he had put down a huge rock that had been deeply pressing on his heart, loosening the shackles of his heart.
"How is it? Have you understood it?" came an old voice.
“I understand.” Yun Che smiled faintly. At this moment, he felt that his body and soul were so relaxed. Even his perception of the outside world was completely different. It was as if he had suddenly jumped from one world to another.
"There is no so-called 'Great Way' in this world. If there is one, then it is me."
"Because I was born, I can speak of the 'Tao' in my heart. If it does not exist in this world, what is the 'Tao' and what does it have to do with me? Therefore, I was not born because of the 'Tao', but the 'Tao' was born because of me and exists because of me. The elements of heaven and earth: water, fire, wind, thunder, earth, light, darkness, time, space... exist because of me and provide me with a basis for survival. The people, animals, and things I encounter fill my life and also exist for me. My relatives, the important people in my heart, they fill my emotions and inspire my desires and will. They also exist because of me and for me... And I am the center of all this and the master!"
"All things in the world are for my use. All spirits in the world exist because of me. This is my avenue, and it is the only avenue! And the pagoda is also in my heart. I can build it at any time, and I can also destroy it at any time. Everything is up to me as I please. Other external things cannot interfere, because I am the avenue!"
“Hahaha!” The old voice laughed loudly. “Young man, you surprise me. As expected of someone who has lived two lives, no, three lives, you have realized it so quickly. Since you have realized it, from now on, let the heaven and earth be at your service, let all spirits exist because of you, and pursue the ‘Great Way’ and ‘Buddha’ that belong only to you.”
In the Xuan Room of the Juxuan Pagoda, Yun Che, who had been sitting upright on the ground for three days and three nights, suddenly laughed. When he smiled, layers of faint silver light suddenly appeared on the surface of his body. At the same time, a small silver tower slowly appeared above his head, and then slowly descended, and merged into Yun Che's body.
Jasmine watched all this quietly, a hint of deep surprise flashed across her eyes, and she murmured slowly:
"Back then, my elder brother took thirty-three days to realize it, but he only took... three days."
