Chapter 450: Precautions for Shaping the Dharmakaya
Ao Chengcheng knew Li Er's character very well. Plus, with the Ruyi Gourd, Ao Chengcheng couldn't feel at ease no matter how he thought about this man and this gourd together.
However, the temporarily constructed space channel disappeared, and she could only accept her fate.
"Does the Human Emperor want to visit the West Sea?" The Dragon King of the West Sea invited enthusiastically, but Jiang Li declined.
The Dragon King of the West Sea took Ao Chengcheng back to the West Sea.
"Uncle Jiang, do you need me to show you around the Dharmakaya Sect?"
"OK."
…
The Dharmakaya Sect is located on the southwest side of the Kyushu Continent, adjacent to the West Sea and the South China Sea. Li Nian'er said that his father and mother met in the shallow waters of the West Sea.
"Uncle Jiang should know the philosophy of our Dharmakaya sect, which is to regard all things as the prototype of Dharmakaya, imitate all things, and ultimately transcend all things."
"This is the martial arts arena."
In the martial arts arena, two disciples of the Dharmakaya sect were fighting, with shadows flickering behind them. Both of them were in the stage of exploring the Dharmakaya.
"This side imitates the gold-eating rat, and the other side imitates the nine-tailed civet cat."
"squeak--"
"Meow--"
"squeak--"
"Meow--"
The two disciples were like animals, meowing and chirping, making a lot of noise.
Li Nian'er held her forehead with her hand and walked forward to hit each of the two disciples on the forehead.
"Senior Sister." The two men felt aggrieved and didn't understand why the senior sister hit them.
"What you are asked to imitate is the intention of the immortal beast, not the sound. Do you want to imitate the gold-eating rat and eat metal..."
One of the disciples took out the metal and started chewing it.
Li Nian'er took the metal away.
Another disciple fell to his knees with a thud.
"What's wrong with you again?"
"It's hard to keep balance without a tail."
Li Nian'er shook the disciple's shoulder vigorously: "Wake up, you are a human, not a cat, you don't need a tail!"
Li Nian'er explained to Jiang Li: "This is a common occurrence. Disciples who have just begun to explore the Dharmakaya often cannot tell whether they are human or Dharmakaya."
"This is not a big deal. As your cultivation level improves and your perception increases, you won't have this kind of cognitive error."
"But our Dharmakaya sect did get into trouble a few times because of this."
"A few years ago, there was a male disciple who took a female cultivator from history as his Dharma body and thought he was a woman, so he often went to the women's bathhouse."
"How is it now?"
"It was later discovered that he was faking it, and he was expelled from the sect."
Jiang Li: “…”
"There is also a disciple who uses the alchemy furnace as his Dharma body and often eats raw herbs."
"And now?"
"He recognized his true self, left the Dharmakaya Sect, and joined the Dao Sect's Alchemy Peak."
"I'm worried that something might go wrong with these two disciples who were modeled after fairy beasts."
Jiang Li was puzzled: "What can go wrong? With their cultivation level, it won't be dangerous to swallow raw metal."
Li Nian'er's face was solemn: "In history, there were many disciples who used fairy beasts as their Dharma bodies. They believed that they were demons, so..."
"So what?"
"So they married into the Bai Ze Dynasty."
"There are also people with milder symptoms who know they are human, but they may still have sequelae."
"What is it?"
"I like the demon race."
“…”
Jiang Li didn't know what to say for a moment.
"When I was shaping my Dharma body, I also drew on several kinds of fairy beasts, but I am a human-dragon hybrid, so this situation did not occur."
Li Nian'er took Jiang Li to continue the tour: "This is the Sutra Library, which contains the understanding of the Dharmakaya by our predecessors."
"Ordinary disciples can only read the books on the first three levels, while elders can read the books on the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels."
"But Uncle Jiang, you are the emperor, so you can go to any floor you want."
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
Jiang Li came to the Sutra Library. Many disciples came here to read books. They happened to look up and saw Jiang Li. They were so excited that they stopped reading and stared at Jiang Li with burning eyes.
Who would still read books when there is a living emperor?
Jiang Li had experienced many such scenes and was very experienced. He automatically ignored these looks and casually flipped through his collection of books.
"'Things to note when shaping the Dharma body'."
Li Nian'er introduced: "This book is a must-read for introductory disciples. It describes the situations I just mentioned. Although they have paid attention, they will still make the same mistakes when fighting."
Jiang Li found that this book recorded the failure experiences of the predecessors of the Dharmakaya Sect and was very valuable.
For example, as a senior has advised above, it is good to regard yourself as the Dharma body, but one should not use a bronze mirror to observe oneself.
"As monks, we should have the courage to move forward, strong faith, and believe that we are the strongest."
"In order to create a Dharma body that is exactly like me, I observe my body with a bronze mirror day and night. I can say that every bit of my body can be seen in my mind."
"But the weather is unpredictable. When we condense our Dharma bodies, the image of our condensed Dharma bodies is not ourselves, but a bronze mirror. How sad."
"Fortunately, my bronze mirror body can copy the enemy's cultivation and abilities, which gives me some comfort."
"Those who come after me should take note and not imitate us."
Jiang Li finished reading one person's failed experience, and then read another person's: "Those who come after you should take note. When you condense a Dharma body with yourself as the prototype, remember to condense it with your clothes, or make the Dharma body shine with golden light so that others can't see it clearly. In short, don't learn from me and run naked."
It was a very short failure experience, but it was enough to make people imagine what kind of social death scene this senior had experienced.
"It's best to gather the monsters that exist in the Kyushu world. Don't completely believe the images of the fairy beasts in the books. There are pirated books and the quality is very low."
Jiang Li could probably guess what this senior had experienced.
"Resolutely resist the Cuju competitions regularly held by the Dharmakaya Sect. Also, do not use the universe as a prototype for your creation. When I was creating the universe, I observed the sky at night and memorized the position of every star. This way, when I condense into a Dharmakaya, the energy in the universe will be projected onto me."
“But when I successfully condensed my Dharma body, the sect held a Cuju competition for elders in the combined stage, which caused the positions of the stars to become chaotic. The Dharma body I condensed could not correspond to the real universe, and the power of the Dharma body was greatly reduced.”
Jiang Li felt that the life of the seniors of the Dharmakaya Sect was not easy. There were so many traps in simply condensing the Dharmakaya.
Jiang Li walked to the fourth floor and found a book called "Dharmakaya Sutra" which explained the principles of Dharmakaya in detail.
"Uncle Jiang, do you need this book?" As a member of the Dharmakaya Sect, Li Nian'er could also enter the 4th, 5th and 6th floors.
The Dharmakaya Sutra is the secret of the Dharmakaya school and can only be read by elders or disciples who have made outstanding contributions.
However, if Jiang Li wanted it, the Fashen Sect was happy to give it to him.
The secret that is not to be passed on must also be divided into those to whom it is not to be passed on.
Jiang Li remembered that one of the rewards for this mission was the "Dharmakaya Sutra", and only half of it.
The Dharmakaya Sect is more generous than the stingy system.
"No need, Sect Master Li II gave me a complete set of the Dharmakaya Sutra."
When Jiang Li reached the Mahayana stage, the gift Li Er gave him was the Dharmakaya Sutra. He followed the description of the technique and quickly condensed a Dharmakaya.
However, as he grew from the Mahayana stage after one year of practice to the Mahayana stage after three hundred years of practice, the Dharma body became a thing for him to show off his skills. Now he could not improve his combat power by using the Dharma body.
