Chapter 344: Divine Power
It was dawn.
The morning sunlight is pure and comfortable. It shines through the treetops and into the cave, casting colorful shadows all over the ground.
In the soft and gentle sunlight, Fang Zhixing woke up, and his opened eyes were clear, as pure as a newborn baby.
"woke up?"
The thin dog squatted at the entrance of the cave and turned his head.
Fang Zhixing stretched, sat cross-legged, and asked, "How long have I slept?"
The thin dog replied: "You slept for three days and three nights."
Only then will you know and understand.
In fact, with his current physical condition, he doesn't need to sleep at all.
But he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't sleep for a long time.
This may be a biological instinct habit that is difficult for humans to overcome.
Fang Zhixing calmed himself down, dragged the bag over, and poured out the items inside.
In an instant, the cave was filled with precious light, colorful and magnificent.
Fang Zhixing used both hands to quickly sort all the items into categories.
Then he took out the Five Elements Ten Thousand Swords and placed them among these items.
"The Five Elements Ten Thousand Swords is a level five weapon. Perhaps with the blessing of these rare treasures, it will have a chance to be upgraded to level six!"
Fang Zhixing showed an expectant look on his face.
After a while!
The system panel suddenly flashed with light.
[Conditions for reaching the maximum level of Five Elements Ten Thousand Swords:
1. 3 pieces of dragon scale iron (already prepared, have you completed it?) 2. Hun Tian wood of no less than 1 meter in length for the handle (already prepared, have you completed it?) 3. 1 obsidian bead for decoration (already prepared, have you completed it?)
4. Wash the blade with purple crystal water for more than 10 times (not completed) 5. One piece of Taiyi gold (prepared, is it completed?) 6. Freeze the blade with ten thousand years of ice for more than 7 days (not completed) 7. Forge the blade with the fire of ten thousand disasters for more than 7 days (not completed)]
“It’s really come out!”
Fang Zhixing was overjoyed, and with a quick glance he found that the materials required for condition 1235 were already available.
"Finish!"
In a flash, four objects on the ground disappeared.
"There are still three things missing: Purple Crystal Water, Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul, and Eternal Calamity Fire."
Fang Zhixing took note and planned to search for it again when he had the chance.
Then, he took out a golden scroll from his arms, which was the Heart Sutra.
Fang Zhixing actually only brought out two skills from the Ancient Emperor's restricted area.
The other one is "Long Live the Emperor, True Dragon Kung Fu".
At this moment, Fang Zhixing slowly opened the ancient golden scroll.
Immediately, endless golden light burst out, so bright that it filled the entire eye socket.
But Fang Zhixing did not find it dazzling. Instead, pictures of sacred light flashed before his eyes.
Time goes by little by little...
Suddenly!
Fang Zhixing closed the golden scroll, and an expression of enlightenment appeared on his face.
The sun was hanging high above our heads outside and before we knew it it was already noon.
"How is it? Is it the true Mahayana Buddhism?" asked the little dog curiously.
Fang Zhixing was silent for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly and seriously: "It is indeed Mahayana Buddhism, profound and unfathomable, beyond imagination."
The dog uttered an "oh" and became more curious, asking, "Is there a Tathagata image on it?"
Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "There are Tathagata Dharma images, and there is more than one, there are thirty-two in total."
The dog blinked his eyes and smacked his lips, "But how come I remember that Tathagata Buddha was a six-foot-tall golden figure?"
Fang Zhixing responded: "That's just one of them."
He explained carefully: "According to the Heart Sutra, the dharma-nature is only the external manifestation of the Buddha's mind. The Buddha's mind is unique, while the dharma-nature can be varied.
When the Buddha’s mind is cultivated to the right state, it is the truth, it is eternity, it is the Buddha!
The Buddha's heart is unique, so the Buddha is also unique! When a Buddhist practitioner chooses a certain Buddha's heart, then the end of the Buddhist practice will merge with the corresponding true Buddha.
For this reason, the Tathagata has thirty-two forms of Dharma, but no matter which form of the Tathagata you practice, you can be considered to have chosen the Tathagata Buddha Heart, and in the end there is hope that you will merge with the Tathagata Buddha into one. "
The dog felt his scalp tingling and said speechlessly, "Doesn't that mean that I have been practicing hard for my whole life, but in the end I was swallowed up by the Buddha?"
Fang Zhixing sighed, "This is the path of cultivating Buddha. Buddha is not a specific person, but the fusion of countless people who have reached the end!"
Xigou thought about it, and suddenly shuddered, and asked: "Is there any kind of Mahayana Dharma that can achieve self-realization by walking alone?"
Fang Zhixing raised the corner of his mouth, nodded and smiled: "It really exists, it is called 'Great Power Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image', also known as 'Buddha Seed Dharma Image'.
This Dharma appearance belongs to one person alone, just like a seed that grows and evolves at will, full of uncertainty.
It may grow into a small grass or a towering tree, it all depends on its own development. "
Xigou looked at Fang Zhixing deeply and had already guessed what kind of Dharma image he was going to condense.
Fang Zhixing himself is a tyrant, and it is a good match for him to condense the Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image.
Xigou asked, "Has anyone chosen this form before?"
"have!"
Fang Zhixing nodded and said, "Since the beginning of records, the first person to choose the Great Power Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image and to have achieved success in cultivation should be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the World Honored Ksitigarbha!"
Xigou said disdainfully: "The status of a Bodhisattva is lower than that of a Buddha. It seems that it is not easy for a great and powerful heavenly dragon to become a Buddha."
Fang Zhixing said: "It's okay, I have eaten the Bodhi fruit, I have infinite potential and a promising future."
That’s it!
An illusory figure slowly rose from above his head, standing tall and majestic, exuding an aura of dominance. It was the tyrant.
The tyrant was wearing a string of nine Buddhist beads on his hand, which he took off and threw into the sky.
"Sacrifice the nine great Vajra Dharma images!"
Nine Buddhist beads hovered in the air, then spun in the air at high speed.
Gradually, the nine Buddhist beads connected into a line, forming a huge halo, the golden light was dazzling and beyond words.
This round of Buddha's light seemed to have substance. It fell behind the tyrant's head and merged with the tyrant into one.
Under the shining Buddha's light, a golden dragon appeared on the tyrant's chest, vividly.
The dragon is mighty and unrivaled in the world, exuding an unparalleled aura of kingship! The dragon's heart is mighty, all-encompassing, swallowing up thousands of miles, and full of heroic spirit! The dragon's soul is majestic, shocking everything, like a mountain, standing between heaven and earth, suppressing the ages!
The dragon's voice shook the sky, as vast and surging as a torrent, making all sounds silent and all beasts submit!
That’s not all.
Three illusory lotus pedestals appeared under the tyrant's feet, ready to bloom.
The implication is very clear. The Great Dragon has just been born. As long as it continues to grow, the lotus platform will surely bloom and spread its leaves! The three lotus platforms represent the three fruit positions of Buddhist practice, namely Arhat, Bodhisattva, and Buddha!
When the first lotus platform blooms, Fang Zhixing should have officially stepped into the next realm of Buddhist practice and been promoted to a true arhat.
And this Arhat, if nothing unexpected happens, is equivalent to the Thousand Troops Realm!
Even though the lotus platform had not yet opened, the system panel still flashed with brilliance.
[Explosive Skill: Daluo Spell (Lv6)]
This mighty heavenly dragon form was condensed by Fang Zhixing after he sacrificed nine great Vajra forms. It has immense potential.
When he was born, he awakened a sixth-level explosive skill.
"good!"
Fang Zhixing felt extremely happy instantly.
So far, he has acquired six level six burst skills.
[Great Power Heavenly Dragon Dharma Image·First Fruit Arhat·Full Level Conditions: 1. Convert more than 10 beings of the same level (not completed) 2. Search for 1 Arhat Relic (not completed)]
"Oh, there are only two conditions for reaching the maximum level!"
A gleam of light flashed in Fang Zhixing's eyes.
For a moment, he wished he could complete these two tasks immediately.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Don't worry, I still have a magical skill..."
Fang Zhixing did not lose his composure, as practicing Buddhism had never been his main focus.
Fold the golden scroll.
He closed his eyes.
In an instant, countless stars appeared in my mind, converging into vast words and totems.
It was "Long Live the Emperor, True Dragon Technique"! Fang Zhixing calmed down and read it carefully word by word.
When I saw it, my mind was immersed in it and I forgot about time.
I don’t know how much time passed before Fang Zhixing exhaled and came to his senses.
When I looked outside, the night sky was silent and it was already late at night.
"Well, it's really a magical and peerless imperial skill!" Fang Zhixing sighed softly.
The dog suddenly woke up, yawned and asked, "What peerless imperial skill?"
He didn't know that Fang Zhixing had another adventure when he sat on the dragon throne.
Fang Zhixing briefly explained and said with a smile: "The threshold for practicing this imperial skill is very high. First, you need to reach the realm of returning to the true self. Second, you need to have the aura of a king and the demeanor of an emperor!"
Xigou glanced at Fang Zhixing and said speechlessly: "Wow, this is tailor-made for me!"
After a pause, he asked, "You have been practicing "Mad Blood Tyrant" and suddenly switched to practicing "Long Live the Emperor". Is that okay?"
Fang Zhixing laughed and said, "What a coincidence, Tyrant and Long Live are not in conflict at all, and can even be said to be of the same origin."
Xigou was surprised and asked, "No way, such a coincidence happened to you, don't you think it's strange?"
Fang Zhixing spread his hands and said, "You naturally think there are many coincidences, but you have to know that 'Long Live the Emperor's True Dragon Art' was created by the royal family of the previous dynasty who searched the world for martial arts and combined the strengths of hundreds of schools.
This imperial skill is the culmination of all martial arts in the world. It can even be said that no matter which martial arts you practice, the source is in it!"
The dog suddenly realized something and smacked his lips, "If I'm not the best in the world after mastering this, I can be fed to dogs!"
Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes and ignored it, muttering to himself: "I finally figured out what the Thousand Army Realm is."
The little dog immediately became interested and said, "Tell me about it quickly."
Fang Zhixing explained: "The so-called Thousand Troops Realm is not actually a realm of cultivation, but a combat unit, a title! To be eligible for this title, one must have the strength to fight against thousands of troops alone."
The dog blinked and said, "What do you mean by fighting against thousands of soldiers alone? I can easily kill a thousand soldiers too!"
Fang Zhixing shook his head and said, "The thousands of troops here refer specifically to the high-level evil creatures that invade our world, such as the black goat kid.
If I have the strength to kill a thousand black goat kids in one go, then my cultivation will be at the peak of the Thousand Armies Realm!"
Xigou was stunned and speechless. He had seen black goat kids with his own eyes. It was very difficult to kill one. Even King Guan of Chu couldn't do it, let alone kill a thousand?
How powerful the peak of the Thousand Army Realm is is beyond Xigou's imagination.
Just at this moment, the system panel in front of Fang Zhixing lit up.
The thin dog looked up.
[Analysis of Long Live the Emperor’s True Dragon Technique Completed]
[This magical skill involves the reversal of time and space...]
The dog was confused and asked, "What is that?"
Fang Zhixing had already understood it clearly, and explained with a smile: "The so-called return to the true self involves the 'path to rebirth' and the 'true self'.
The real me is the perfect me at a certain point in the past. "
Upon hearing this, Xigou shuddered and said in shock, "Then the 'Long Live the Emperor True Dragon Technique' can reverse time and space, doesn't it mean that it can allow you to kill someone's 'true self'?"
Fang Zhixing was overjoyed and nodded, "Not only that, by mastering the time-space reversal, I can not only destroy the enemy's rebirth path, but also destroy the enemy's true self!"
At this point, new text appears on the system panel.
[The reverse flow of time and space can be divided into reversing one second, one day, one year, ten years, sixty years, one hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, and endlessly! ]
The dog was stunned and exclaimed: "Fuck, this is going to turn back time to grandma's house!"
Fang Zhixing pondered and said, "When the enemy is reborn, he may choose to go back to the moment before his death, or he may choose to go back to a longer time ago, such as to the day before. It is impossible to predict.
But imagine, if I could turn back time 10,000 years, then no matter what moment, day or even year the enemy returns to in his past life, he will die in my hands. "
Xigou understood, and had to say, this was a really big deal! [Set the maximum level conditions based on the length of the reversal time...]
[Long Live the Emperor True Dragon Technique·Reverse One Day·Maximum Level Conditions: 1. Read the technique more than 3 times (completed) 2. Search for 10 Time Ambers (ready, are you ready?)
3. Collect 1 Epiphyllum wittiflorum (unfinished)]
Seeing this, Xigou said, "There are only three conditions. Conditions 1 and 2 are already taken care of. Condition 3 doesn't look difficult to complete either."
Fang Zhixing was also surprised again and again, because among the treasures he brought out from the Ancient Emperor's restricted area, there happened to be amber of time.
So, where is the witty epiphyllum? "Brother Fang!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Damn!" The thin dog was startled and looked outside quickly.
Fang Zhixing was stunned at first, then calmly raised his left hand.
The sound came from the Tianren Ring.
Fang Zhixing responded: "Brother Fan?"
Fan Qiulai immediately shouted, "Brother, I accidentally heard news about you in Daizhou, saying that you committed a shocking crime. Is it true?"
Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "It has something to do with me, but there are too many rumors, so don't believe them all."
Fan Qiulai couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect you to grow so fast, brother. I'm so envious!"
Fang Zhixing smiled and suddenly asked, "Oh, by the way, brother, have you heard of the wonderful epiphyllum?"
Fan Qiulai thought for a moment and replied, "I have heard that the Epiphyllum is a fifth-level exotic flower. It only takes a short breath from blooming to withering."
Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where can I find this rare flower?"
Fan Qiulai asked, "You are still in Qianzhou, right? I heard that there is a 'Mrs. Epiphyllum' in Qianzhou. She is very obsessed with Epiphyllum. Why don't you ask her about it?"
"good!"
Fang Zhixing nodded and hung up the call.
