Chapter 154: Eight-character Mantra, Immortal Heritage

Wang Mang was completely immersed in the invisible Taoist aura.

All his feelings were constantly sublimating, approaching that unspeakable existence.

Compared with that existence, he himself was as small as a grain of sand - no, even smaller than a grain of sand, so small that even Wang Mang himself could not describe it.

And now, that vast and boundless existence allowed him to admire it!

An indescribable joy surged into my heart, surpassing all pleasures, surpassing all carnal desires, and stronger than all desires! A mere mortal body is so insignificant in front of such an existence, but an insignificant mortal has received His favor at this moment!

Joy, fulfillment, happiness, delight, admiration, longing, excitement. Countless positive emotions came one after another, and at this moment he became the happiest person in the world.

"Wang Lang?!"

Until a scream was heard, which sounded quite harsh among the countless positive emotions.

However, this little noise did not affect him at all.

Wang Mang's eyes gradually became dazed. Originally, he only had the strength of the great success of internal organ training, but there was a faint trace of Buddha's light appearing on his body surface.

There was a surge of true Qi, constantly washing over his body, completing at an almost unbelievable speed the blockage of Qi and blood that would have taken more than ten years of hard training to slowly complete.

The five internal organs were pulled by an invisible force, and the true energy surged almost violently, telling of the earth-shaking changes.

Until a series of extremely strange syllables abruptly shattered Wang Mang's ongoing transformation.

The syllables were extremely long and boundless. When they were recited, it sounded like hundreds or thousands of words stacked together. It did not sound like anything uttered by humans at all.

The White Lotus Saint clasped her hands together, her beautiful face tightly frowned, and recited strange and peculiar syllables from her mouth. Every time she recited a word, her body would inevitably tremble a few times, and even her skin felt a pain.

Amidst that strange sound, Wang Mang seemed to be snatched back from the sky by a pair of huge hands.

A feeling of frustration of losing everything inevitably came over me, and even my heart seemed to be grabbed by those big hands, leaving me empty and extremely uncomfortable!

"No!!!"

Wang Mang suddenly shouted, his face ferocious like an evil ghost, and shouted loudly with great excitement and pain, trying to block out the strange syllables.

But it didn't work.

As the syllables sounded, all the sense of fulfillment and joy faded away rapidly, as if he had once obtained the whole world - no, it should be something better than the whole world.

But now, he could only face the cold reality and could no longer approach that vast, boundless and all-embracing figure!

"Wang Lang!"

Seeing that Wang Mang finally woke up, the White Lotus Saint finally stopped chanting. Blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth. She didn't even bother to wipe it off. She rushed over and hugged him, anxiously saying, "Are you okay?!"

Consciousness completely returned at this moment.

Wang Mang finally woke up. His chest was heaving at a very fast speed. Extremely intense pain spread to every part of his body, as if every meridian, every piece of flesh and blood, and even every piece of bone marrow was groaning.

Even the blood seemed extremely hot, boiling like magma.

Wisps of hot steam rose from his body, and his skin took on a completely abnormal bright red color.

Especially that face that was not very handsome, with eyes wide open, bloodshot and twisted together, but it looked like an ancient Buddha, simple and dignified, extremely harmonious, with a majestic law that could not be looked at directly! Wang Mang let the White Lotus Saint hold him, unable to say a word.

Sensing something was wrong, the White Lotus Saint placed him on the dry shore and waited anxiously for Wang Mang to recover.

After a long while, when the severe pain in his body finally subsided a little, Wang Mang finally regained a little strength. He tried to turn his head away and no longer looked at the ancient and majestic statue that covered the sky.

"Then what is that?!"

A dry and hoarse voice came out from his throat. Wang Mang's voice had never been so low before. It did not sound like a human voice, but more like a clay puppet speaking.

The White Lotus Saint held his hand, and with her other hand she was trying to move blood and energy for him. After hearing Wang Mang's question, she whispered, "That is the Mother of No Birth worshipped in the sect."

It is true that the White Lotus Sect has many factions, but the most well-known phrase, which is familiar to everyone in the sect, is definitely "The hometown of the vacuum, the mother of no birth"! This eight-character mantra symbolizes the most fundamental doctrine of the White Lotus Sect! According to the doctrine: The mother of no birth is the ancient Buddha in heaven who has no birth and no death. She wants to save her children in the world and return to heaven to avoid disasters. This heaven is the hometown of the vacuum, which is the paradise that countless people look forward to.

The White Lotus Sect also believes that there are two forces in the world that are fighting against each other, called the Light and Dark Sects. Light is light, which represents goodness and truth, while Dark is darkness, which represents evil and irrationality. These two sides have been fighting against each other in the past, present and future.

Buddhism claims that there are three ancient Buddhas of the past, present and future.

But in the White Lotus Sect, the three Buddhas are merely followers of the Mother of No Birth, and are the Buddhas sent by the Mother of No Birth to save the lower world.

Being in the White Lotus Sect, you may not have seen the White Lotus Sect Leader, but if you don’t know the Mother of No Birth, then I’m sorry, I’m really unfamiliar with her! “Is that the Mother of No Birth?”

Wang Mang gritted his teeth, gasped continuously, and tried hard to recall everything he had just seen. However, his brain seemed to be shaken by someone, and apart from the absurdly large night pearl, he could not remember any details of the statue that stretched from heaven to earth!

He had seen it very clearly before, and even had the illusion of being embraced by that existence! But now, it was as if an invisible hand had wiped out all the imprints in his mind, leaving only awe, but he could not remember the appearance of the statue at all.

This strange feeling lingered, and he dared not look again. Wang Mang immediately asked: "Aren't you affected? Why?!"

The strength of the White Lotus Saint is not much different from his. Logically speaking, since he is completely immersed in it, there is no reason for the White Lotus Saint to be spared.

But the fact is, not only did the White Lotus Saint not show his condition, she even had the energy to save him!

"No, I just felt very surprised and close. But what happened to Wang Lang? You just desperately used your true Qi to attack the blood and qi barrier, and you almost died!" said the White Lotus Saint.

"We are both masters of internal organ training. We can't treat you with extra care just because Wusheng Old Mother sounds like a woman, right?"

The burning head made all his thoughts scattered. Wang Mang shook his head and threw away these somewhat unreasonable thoughts. "Besides this, is there anything else different?"

"Maybe it's because of the White Lotus Heart Sutra?"

The White Lotus Saint hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I used the White Lotus Heart Sutra to save you. This is a useless Heart Sutra that a Saint must master, but if you can't learn it, you will definitely not be able to become the White Lotus Saint."

"I remember you told me that among the group of people who grew up with you, there were many who were more talented in martial arts and more beautiful than you, but they just couldn't learn the White Lotus Heart Sutra, so the status of the Saint Girl fell to you."

Wang Mang thought for a moment and sighed, "I'm afraid if I want to get in touch with the White Lotus inheritance, I won't be able to stop that strange thing without the White Lotus Heart Sutra!"

Thinking of this, Wang Mang cursed in his heart.

Damn White Lotus Sect, there are so many restrictions outside, and the real inheritance cannot even be read without learning the "White Lotus Heart Sutra"! The problem is that the White Lotus Heart Sutra requires extremely high qualifications. The White Lotus Sect has indeed existed in all dynasties, but not every generation has a White Lotus Saint. You can imagine the difficulty of the White Lotus Heart Sutra.

He had clearly arrived at the doorstep of the White Lotus inheritance, but could only return empty-handed. The depression in Wang Mang's heart was simply indescribable.

"Wait a minute, if it won't work without the White Lotus Heart Sutra, what does the White Lotus Sect Leader think? He doesn't have the White Lotus Heart Sutra either!"

As his mind raced, Wang Mang discovered something was wrong.

They both don't know the White Lotus Heart Sutra, so why can the White Lotus Sect Leader watch but he can't?

Could it be that the Grandmaster could resist that strange influence? "Wang Lang didn't understand the White Lotus Heart Sutra, but he also read it." The White Lotus Saint whispered.

"I"

Wang Mang was about to say that he almost died here, but he stopped after saying just one word.

What would have happened if the White Lotus Saint hadn't used the White Lotus Heart Sutra to save him? Would he have killed himself? What would have happened if he hadn't died? The thought was terrifying! "Why don't you go and see it? I won't go."

Wang Mang lay on the ground and simply closed his eyes. "I suspect that thing was left by an immortal. I have seen martial arts masters before. I was the first apprentice taught by Mozi. I am sure that the master does not have such means, otherwise why would he need to slowly preach his ideas?

The inheritance left by the immortals should be based on fate. I probably have no fate with the White Lotus inheritance."

The martial arts master is already the pinnacle of this world. Apart from the immortals who are nowhere to be found, the martial arts master is the pinnacle of power that can truly be touched and actually exists in the mortal world.

What the martial arts master cannot do can only be done by the legendary immortal.

The White Lotus inheritance had a very important origin! At the very least, it had to be left behind by an immortal.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But no matter what, Wang Mang didn't want to try it a second time. Even if he returned empty-handed, it was better than using himself as a test subject.

"At worst, we can catch a few evil guys and bring them in to try it out first," Wang Mang said in a deep voice.

"How about I recite the White Lotus Heart Sutra and give it a try?"

The White Lotus Saint raised her eyebrows slightly. This place is secret and one would have to go through great hardships to get here.

Even though the two of them had tried their best to get here, it sounds great to capture a few people and bring them in for experiments, but in reality, ordinary mortals would have been suffocated to death long ago, so how could they be brought here alive? As for capturing a master who had also practiced Zang Dacheng, even if the other party was willing to hold his breath and come in together, the risk was still too great.

If their strength increases after watching, the two of them may not be able to hold on! After all, no one dares to say what the things left by the immortals are useful for. What if they fall in love with outsiders? "Can you hold on?" Wang Mang asked in surprise.

"If you don't use true qi to drive it, then yes."

The White Lotus Saint nodded slightly and began to recite almost instinctively.

Wang Mang seemed to know every byte, but when he listened carefully, he had no idea what was being said.

"If something's wrong with me, just wake me up!"

Wang Mang nodded and looked towards the statue again.

That special power did not continue to come. Not sure if it was because the White Lotus Saint was chanting the White Lotus Heart Sutra, or if it was only effective the first time. Wang Mang was surprised to find that he was not affected again!

This time, he finally saw it clearly.

It was indeed a statue carved on the mountain wall, completely different from the dignified and majestic image that Wang Mang had imagined. The statue actually looked like a kind old man, sitting upright on a lotus pedestal with thirty-six petals, gazing at everything in front of him with a kind and peaceful gaze.

Countless millstone-sized luminous pearls surrounded His body, and the light they emitted was like the stars dancing in the sky.

His hands were held slightly forward, where there was a night-shining pearl as big as a house, with black and white energy constantly flowing inside.

It was as if the light and darkness of the world mentioned in the White Lotus Doctrine had truly manifested before Him! And countless smaller night-shining pearls also unfolded beside the thirty-six-petal lotus platform, with bizarre lights inside, as if there were countless living beings in it, growing old, getting sick and dying, over and over again.

If things go as expected, that place is probably the vacuum hometown in the metaphor of the White Lotus Sect!

Wang Mang licked his lips, feeling his mouth dry, and said something else: "The night-shining pearls built in here would be a treasure worth a whole city if you took any one from outside, but here they are just decorations."

The White Lotus Saint glared at him, and when she saw that he was indeed not affected, she slowed down her chanting.

That special power probably really receded, and Wang Mang nodded at her.

The White Lotus Saint stopped chanting and said, "The Mother of No Birth is not the only name for her. The sect also calls her the Ancient Mother, the Grandmother, the Ancient Buddha, the Mother of No Birth, the Old No Birth, the Old Ancient Buddha, the Ancestor of Collection, the Infinite Mother, the Infinite Holy Mother, the Holy Mother of No Birth, the Golden Mother of Yaochi, the Holy Mother of Yunpan, the True Ruler of All Spirits in the Three Realms of Heaven and Earth, and even the Supreme and Most Holy God of the Infinite Pure Void, the True Ruler of All Spirits in the Three Realms of Ten Directions, and the Most Holy Innate Ancestor."

There are so many names that she almost wants to attribute all the honors to herself. If she were not a saint, she would not be able to remember so many titles.

"It's pretty awesome anyway, right?"

Wang Mang looked around, his eyes fixed on the bottom of the thirty-six-petal lotus platform, where there was a door-like pattern. "How do we get in?"

After the previous lesson, he didn't want to try to force his way in again and see if it would trigger something serious.

"this"

The White Lotus Saint hesitated for a moment, and following some special guidance and enlightenment in her heart, she walked to the door under the thirty-six-petal lotus platform and began to recite softly.

This time, Wang Mang heard it very clearly.

"The hometown of the vacuum is the mother of no birth."

White Lotus Sect, the Eight-Character Mantra!

The voice of the White Lotus Saint echoed in the somewhat empty cave, and the thirty-six-petal lotus pedestal where the Mother of No Birth sat actually began to tremble slightly and shrink.

The thirty-six luminous pearls also bloomed with dazzling brilliance, as if a fairy palace had opened up, revealing a corner of it, and the air was filled with auspiciousness.

At the same time, the closed stone door at the bottom of the lotus platform slowly opened.

A bright light shone from within, clearly coming from somewhere unknown deep underground. In an instant it seemed as if a scorching sun was rising up!

The immortal inheritance finally revealed its traces! 　PS: I would like to take a look at the book written by the author’s friend, which is a comprehensive martial arts book.

Wu Shang traveled through the world of Zongwu, awakened the god-level storyteller system, and started telling stories in the world of immortals.

"The Tyrannosaurus roars on a deserted island, the gods lament in a dead city, illusions fish for luck, and false gods seize faith..."

"Why was the Buddha nailed to the city wall, and the Taoist body of the Taoist master was smashed into pulp?!"

…

Since the genius goddess Lan Nuowu broke through the void, the curtain of the world of immortality slowly opened.

The song of Zu Shen Yao made everyone who was listening to the story burst into tears.
