In the 7670th year of the Xia calendar, the unknown star field
was an unknown barren planet with no water, thin air, and only yellow sand all over the sky. The temperature could drop to dozens of degrees below zero at night, and the temperature could reach 70 to 80 degrees during the day. Mortals
could not survive more than 24 hours here. At this time, there were eleven Buddhist cultivators hiding here. They were the eleven Arhats who followed the Bodhisattva Puxiang. They had opened the star gate to escape, but did not escape directly back to the Lingjing Star. First, it was too far away, and second, they were unwilling to fail.
"Brother Chengzang, where should we go?" They
had been hiding for a long time, and everyone was exhausted. There were not many supplies in their storage bags. An Arhat said to Chengzang, who was in the lead. Chengzang was already a half-step Bodhisattva, the highest among them.
"My fellow brothers and sisters, news has been sent back from Lingjing Star that Puxiang Bodhisattva has ascended to heaven, which is a great loss to our Buddhist sect. We should inherit Puxiang Bodhisattva's will and also complete the mission of revitalizing Buddhism. We should continue to delve into the alien world in the eastern star field. What do you think?"
"Senior Brother Chengzang, these immortal cultivators are extremely hostile to us, and their strength is exceptionally strong. If we act rashly, won't it be too risky?"
"There are risks of course, but if we fear risks and don't do anything, how can our Buddhist sect prosper? Without sufficient merit, how can we ascend to Lingxing and achieve true Buddhahood?"
Chengzang said. Preaching is their merit. The more believers they have, the greater their merit is, which is extremely important in achieving true Buddhahood. Only with enough merit can one finally go to Lingjing Star to enjoy heaven.
Cheng Zang's words made the remaining ten people a little excited. They were all Arhats, and the Buddhist practice system was very mature and complete. It could be said that if nothing unexpected happened, at least half of them could reach the Bodhisattva realm, and they would not be far from the True Buddha. Most of the merits of Lingjing Star had been divided up, so going to more distant places to spread Buddhism was their way out.
"Brother, what do you say we should do?"
"The planet we encountered before had no living creatures, so the other world is not there, but it must be not far away. All of us brothers and sisters should split into several groups to explore. Don't use the Star Gate Secret Technique, just use your physical body to quietly lurk, find the location of the world, and first find out the situation of the living creatures in this world.
We must believe in the wisdom of Bodhisattva Kong Yan. There must be more Bodhisattvas on the way. We should make preparations in advance. When the time comes, whether it is the Buddhist teachings or forced salvation, we can also make great contributions."
"Okay, let's do as Brother Chengzang says."
"In this case, we will split into three groups, each looking for a way out. Once we find the location of the other world, we will share what we have."
After the discussion, several people decided to split into three groups, each looking for the location of the other world.

Blue Star, Hua
Xia Puxiang 's storage bag had been opened long ago. There was not much in the storage bag. In addition to some spirit stones, there were some ordinary pills, scriptures, and magic tools.
Lin Jiang had sent the elixir to Lin Huafei for research. Lin Huafei quickly gave a reply. The elixir refining technique was a little different from that on Blue Star, but not much. Only obtaining the complete elixir refining technique and elixir recipe would be meaningful.
Lin Jiang and Cao Ying were studying the scriptures and magic weapons. These scriptures were the cultivation methods of Buddhism, but there was obviously a problem. There were only practice methods but no mental methods.
Most of the cultivation methods on Blue Star were complete, with the practice methods and mental methods combined, but they were obviously not. I don’t know if it was to control low-level practitioners.
"These scriptures are not quite the same as the ones I remember, but some are the same. I don’t know if there is any special connection between them."
Lin Jiang was stunned as he looked at these scriptures. Although he studied liberal arts and read a lot, he really didn’t know much about Buddhist scriptures. He only knew some popular jokes and Zen sayings.
For example, the heart moves but the flag does not move, and the story of the Buddha cutting his flesh to feed the eagle. The only thing he really knew about the scriptures was the very famous Heart Sutra, but he couldn’t remember all the contents. He only remembered Prajna Paramita.
However, when Lin Jiang looked at these scriptures, he felt that many things were somewhat related to the Buddhist scriptures of the Blue Star, which reminded Lin Jiang of his origin.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Cao Ying walked in and saw Lin Jiang in a daze, and asked with concern.
"Nothing, did you deal with Pu Xiang's Zen staff?"
"Done, my life force has devoured the spirit of Pu Xiang's Zen staff."
Cao Ying said that Yang Luo had announced the internal and external methods of refining the spiritual treasure, and there was also a secret swallowing technique that could melt cultivators above the level of transformation into weapon spirits, and then let other weapon spirits swallow them.
Lin Jiang and Cao Ying also knew this method, but it was very evil, so they did not announce it. The cultivation academy in China did not know about this, and even other awakened cultivators were specifically told not to let it be leaked.
This time it was a special case. In order to obtain the secrets of the spiritual realm star, Cao Ying spent many years to let the weapon spirit of her life magic weapon swallow the weapon spirit of the general Zen staff.
"Then your life magic weapon has been upgraded."
"It's almost a top-grade magic weapon."
Cao Ying nodded. Lin Jiang had a lot of top-grade magic weapons in his hands. In addition to the Sun-shooting Divine Bow inherited from the Lin family, there were also those dug out from Qingzhou, all of which were first-class top-grade magic weapons.
Except for Lin Batian's Overlord Spear, Lin Jiang kept all of them for himself and did not share them. Cao Ying did not have so many good things in his hands.
“We have the methods of refining many top-level magic weapons, but the technology is not up to par, and we are also lacking in materials. However, as time accumulates, each of us will be able to hold a top-grade magic weapon in the future.”
“You are not curious at all about the things on Lingjing Star?” “
Of course I am curious. You are here, so how can I be left out?”
“Haha, since you trust me so much, I will definitely not let you down. Lingjing Star does have many secrets. Twenty or thirty thousand years ago, Lingjing Star was not a world of Buddhist cultivation. Like our Blue Star, it is an orthodox world of immortal cultivation. Its strength is slightly stronger than ours. There should be more than ten people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage and a hundred people in the He Dao Stage. In just less than a thousand years, it has become a world of Buddhist cultivation.”
“Is Buddhism so powerful?”
Lin Jiang was shocked. Did they destroy a world of immortal cultivation similar to Blue Star in just a thousand years? Is Buddhism so powerful? It even destroyed all the Taoists.
"The spirit of Pu Xiang's staff was once a cultivator who was converted by Buddhism, but failed in the tribulation period. In the end, he willingly became Pu Xiang's staff and became the treasure of their temple, passed down from generation to generation.
The spirit was born at the end of the cultivation of immortals. He didn't know how Buddhism appeared. He only knew that Buddhism developed very quickly."
"Condense the process into a spell and pass it to me. I want to see it."
"Okay."
Cao Ying nodded, and then she condensed a spiritual light on her fingertips and pointed it at Lin Jiang's eyebrows. The spiritual light sank into Lin Jiang's sea of consciousness, and a stream of information spread out.
The process known by the spirit was not complete. He only knew that when he went out to train, Buddhism was already very powerful. Buddhist temples were founded in many places, and there were a large number of Buddhist disciples walking around, preaching Buddhism among the cultivators and mortals, attracting countless believers. These believers took out their own wealth to support them, so that Buddhism could obtain a lot of resources at the beginning without the need for land management.
The most profound impression of the spirit of the weapon was the process of the expansion of Buddhism. They took in many immortal cultivators, such as evil cultivators, and some immortal cultivators who had offended others, under the beautiful name of "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot". They protected them with the strength of Buddhism and made their strength grow rapidly.
They also suppressed other sects in various ways. For example, when the sect expanded, fighting was inevitable. Buddhism would jump out and stop the killing on the grounds of the safety of mortals and scattered cultivators, and gained a great reputation.
At the same time, they also actively competed for those genius disciples. Many peerless geniuses were favored by Buddhism when they were just starting out. Under the beautiful name of "predestined with Buddha", they constantly instilled some Buddhist principles into them, and many genius disciples devoted themselves to Buddhism.
It didn't matter if there were those who didn't obey. They had many ways, such as forced conversion. There was such an example in the memory of the spirit of the weapon. At the end of the unification of Lingjing Star by Buddhism, a certain immortal cultivator sent out a peerless sword cultivator with a natural sword body and various sword techniques.
Moreover, he became famous at a young age. Since the Qi training period, he has been constantly challenging various geniuses, almost all of them are in their prime. However, the Buddhist sect said that this person has too much murderous intention and is entangled with evil spirits. He is a sword demon. They dispatched Bodhisattva-level masters to forcibly take him away and convert him, and eventually he became a Dharma protector of Buddhism.
"Damn, a familiar taste"
Lin Jiang cursed after reading the memory of the spirit of the weapon. Isn't this a familiar formula, a familiar taste?
