Mutual exploitation?
Bai Chengfeng, who was standing by as a witness, quickly took a few steps back, somewhat curious about what level Wang Yu could comprehend the "Heart Stealing Secret Technique".
Stealing the power of the Dao Fruit, theoretically, requires cultivating to the fourth level of the secret technique to barely achieve the desired effect. Only the abbot of the entire Wuxin Temple has attained the essence of it.
Can one master a top-tier secret technique in just three days?
Something that others cannot imagine.
For Wang Yu, it was relatively easy, since nine ordinary placement slots meant nine times the speed, and the Enlightenment, Accumulation, and Derivation slots were even more incredible.
In addition, there was his unparalleled comprehension and Nirvana Realm cultivation.
The basic efficiency is more than a hundred times that of an ordinary person, and with the addition of the placement bar, the efficiency is at least several thousand times that of an ordinary person.
When the placement bar focuses its efforts on a single thing, the efficiency is terrifying, something Wang Yu knows very well. The more of it there is, the more incredible the effect will be.
This utilization model will definitely play a significant role in the future.
Now, though.
Let's take it first and talk about it later!
Since it was merely a debate on Daoist principles, a literary contest, the two only used secret techniques to determine their superiority, and thus sat on prayer mats in the main hall, no more than two zhang apart.
The enlightenment attained by Zen Master Wuxin was not innate, but rather a Buddhist enlightenment formed after birth, similar to the principles of swordsmanship.
Fo Guang Dao Ze: Arhats/Incense/Buddha's Heart!
Buddhist cultivation is not the only path of cultivation for humans. Like the demonic path, it is an imported system that gradually formed after being integrated into the immortal path.
The laws of swordsmanship were formed between heaven and earth by the sword immortals from all races who, one after another, proved their Dao, deeply imprinting the concept of "sword" into the origin of the universe, thus giving birth to the laws of swordsmanship.
Although it is a law that was born later, its power surpasses many laws and great principles. It is extremely destructive and convenient for later generations to learn, which is why it is highly regarded.
The same principle applies to Buddhist practice.
However, this method originated from the Mahayana Buddhist Domain and was created by a group of people who were sent to this domain for refuge when the human race was weak. While the sword path is revered by all races, the Buddhist cultivation method only benefits one domain and one race.
Therefore, they took a shortcut and merged with the Great Way of Light.
They created a peculiar Dao Fruit called the Buddha Light Dao Principle, which is placed alongside the Great Dao of Light. They appear to be closely integrated and inseparable, but in reality, the number of Dao Fruits they embody is insufficient, and their foundation and power are still lacking.
The Buddha's Light Immortal spreads the Dao, and this is the great Dao he is spreading.
He needs more Mahayana Perfection and Tribulation Transcending Beings to entrust their complete Dao Fruits to this Great Dao. As the leader at the highest level, he will naturally possess greater power.
However, due to the influence of the Celestial Palace's laws, large-scale proselytizing is not allowed, and even the number of disciples in a lineage can only be a few hundred. The original purpose of the Celestial Palace was to prevent any single entity from becoming too powerful.
Allowing him to lock himself in and torment these alien souls, forming a system of thousands of Buddhist temples, is already a sign of respect for his status as a true immortal.
We must not lead all humans down the path of Buddhist cultivation. Under the control of the Immortal Palace, besides the dominance of the righteous path, there are also many people pursuing other paths, which can be described as a flourishing of diverse paths.
There is no such thing as absolute fairness in the world. Relative fairness is already quite good. At least the existence of the Immortal Palace, and the various treasure troves and supernatural techniques opened by the Immortal Palace Order, provide a path for the capable to rise to the top. It is not easy to achieve this.
Let's get back to the main topic.
Wang Yu discovered another unique effect of the "Heart-Stealing Secret Technique": it can detect the cultivation results of others. Information is always the most important target to collect before a battle.
This secret technique can steal the power of the Dao Fruit, and naturally, it can also see the target clearly.
'Arhats, faith, and a Buddha-nature… these three combined elements of Buddhist practice encompass so-called Buddhist teachings and principles, many of which are of interest to me. Perhaps I can use this opportunity to refine my own path?'
Many people mistakenly believe that the so-called "Tao Fruit" is equivalent to the Great Dao and its laws.
Dao Fruit is a cultivator's understanding of the Great Dao.
By combining one's own laws, principles, and reason, the final result of cultivation is absolutely not the laws and the Great Way itself, and therefore it is complementary to the laws.
For example, the earliest path of fire.
There may only be the concept of "burning," but later generations, through enlightenment, condensed it into "explosive Dao Fruit," "undying Dao Fruit," "heart fire Dao Fruit," and so on...
As a result, the Great Dao of Fire grew stronger and stronger, and these Dao fruits were recorded in the laws of heaven and earth, which strengthened the power of the laws themselves. When later generations sought verification, it was easier for them, as they had a method to follow.
The three thousand great paths are not static.
As more people walk the path, more insights are gained, and even weak laws can become powerful. Therefore, cultivators rarely bring up the so-called supreme laws, because the difference in strength between different paths is not as great as imagined.
It is even possible to fuse several different laws and principles to create one's own philosophy, allowing the Fire Principle to also possess conceptual characteristics such as time and space.
The Heart-Stealing Secret Technique can steal the power of the Dao Fruit. Even if it is only temporarily possessed, the Dao and principles contained within the Dao Fruit can become Wang Yu's own. This requires enlightenment.
The benefits of this secret technique have been greatly underestimated.
However, even if one wants to execute this perfectly, and achieve theoretical perfection, it will still be met with resistance in actual combat.
It is difficult to calm down and comprehend the path and results of others.
At that time.
Wang Yu and Zen Master Wuxin's eyes simultaneously emitted three feet of golden light, and an invisible Daoist aura descended upon the hall, making the air somewhat solemn.
In his vision, the three nascent forms of the Dao Fruit under the Buddha's light and Dao principles manifested on the back of Zen Master Wuxin's head, perfectly supported by the three "Dao Lotuses" of essence, energy, and spirit.
Strands of Daoist golden light were absorbed by the secret technique.
As the energy continuously converged upon him, the nascent form of Zen Master Wuxin's Dao fruition began to fade, and his aura began to fluctuate and gradually decline.
The power of the Dao Fruit was stolen, and the Dao and principles contained within it were also discovered by Wang Yu. He quickly comprehended them and truly made them his own. If he could obtain one or two Buddhist techniques or secret arts from them...
Furthermore, it can be temporarily thrown into the Enlightenment column, instantly comprehending a large amount of profound meaning and filling one's own "Immortal Database".
At the same time.
When Zen Master Wuxin used his secret technique to resist while observing and trying to draw upon the power of the Dao Fruit from Wang Yu, he was instantly stunned.
Under the unique perspective of the Heart-Stealing Secret Technique, Wang Yu resembled an old, dark tree, exuding a demonic aura and sprouting eleven branches of varying lengths.
These branches represent different laws and principles.
Taiyin, Taiyang, Time, Space, Thunder, Yellow Springs, Slaughter, Illusory Light, Power, True Dragon, Nirvana!
certainly.
Most branches had Dao Fruits condensed on them, either three or two. Only a few had not condensed Dao Fruits, and the most exaggerated of them was the Dao of Slaughter.
The fruit that grew was more than twice the size of his, proving that the other party's comprehension of the laws far exceeded the level expected of someone in the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm.
It's perfectly normal that such profound knowledge left him momentarily stunned.
after all.
For ordinary people, cultivating one Great Dao and condensing multiple Dao Fruits is already a great effort. Only geniuses and prodigies can cultivate multiple Great Daos simultaneously, but only those like Wang Yu can do so.
Zen Master Wuxin had only read about it in historical records.
Shocked, he tried to shake Wang Yu with the Heart-Stealing Secret Technique, but the flow of his mental energy was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, with no reaction whatsoever.
This is not because the secret method of stealing hearts failed to work.
Rather, the lower cultivation cannot shake the higher cultivation. Although his understanding of the secret technique surpasses that of Wang Yu, and he has the cultivation experience of past masters, his mental strength is simply insufficient.
Although the path of the mind is only divided into seven realms, the difference between these realms is immense, and there is absolutely no claim that crossing a realm can shake the cultivation of the mind.
And so it was.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Zen Master Wuxin also became disheartened.
'True immortal disciples are indeed not to be judged by ordinary standards.'
Seeing that nearly half of his spiritual attainment had been stolen, Zen Master Wuxin's lips twitched several times before he resigned himself to his fate. Seeing that Wang Yu was showing signs of entering a state of enlightenment, he simply began to preach the Dharma.
Since defeat is inevitable, let's give them a chance.
Since things have come to this point, it's best to maintain good relations.
"Calm your mind like a mountain, settle your mind like a well, illuminate your mind like the moon. Externally cease all connections, internally be without breath, the mind is like a fortress. Gather your six senses, cease deluded thoughts, observe phenomena as illusions, samadhi is ever-still..."
Combining Buddhist chanting techniques with the recitations of Zen Master Wuxin.
Like a clear stream, it helped Wang Yu unravel the Dao and principles contained within the power of the Dao Fruit. A large amount of Buddhist insights and cultivation techniques flooded into his heart, quickly transforming into Wang Yu's own foundation.
This lecture took several months to complete.
…………
…………
That day.
Wang Yu awoke from his enlightenment and saw that the depth of his Heart Lake space had expanded considerably, his Pure Nirvana Realm mental state was completely stabilized, and his mental strength had increased once again.
It's clear that the harvest was plentiful!
In addition, he comprehended many Buddhist supernatural powers, combined them with the Heart-Stealing Secret Technique, modified them with demonic principles, and transformed them into demonic secret techniques, thus creating a move called the "Heaven-Stealing Demon Hand"!
The incomplete parts of the Heart Stealing Secret Technique have been thoroughly deduced and completed, and it can steal up to 70% of the target's Dao Fruit power, with room for further improvement.
This is the starting point for the integration of the Way of the Mind and the Way of Immortality.
If one had to categorize this method, it could only be considered a Dao trace supernatural power. However, under the influence of mental power, its effects are so profound that they are in no way inferior to the Dao supernatural power techniques.
Continuing your journey through the Lion Camel Kingdom may lead you to even greater heights.
At this moment.
With mixed feelings, Zen Master Wuxin glanced at Wang Yu, bowed, and said, "This humble monk has lost. As agreed, fellow Daoist, you may freely peruse the Buddhist scriptures and texts of Wuxin Temple."
Wang Yu returned the greeting with a smile.
"You flatter us. We will have to keep talking for a while longer."
"Of course, this humble monk will make the arrangements immediately."
Wang Yu's cultivation in the Mind Path is very high, but his accumulation can be said to be very shallow. The collection of books in Wuxin Temple can make up for his deficiencies to a large extent. It is worthwhile to spend some time reading through the collection.
after all.
Having solved the essential need for cultivation resources, he could stay in the Lion Camel Realm forever, having prepared for a long-term battle before even arriving.
His goal is to acquire all Buddhist scriptures related to the spiritual path, while he doesn't place too much importance on Buddhist techniques and secret arts; having them is good, but not having them is fine.
I'm just getting it for free.
Next, Wang Yu and Bai Chengfeng stayed at Wuxin Temple for another year, and after reading through all the collections, they set off for their second destination.
It was a Buddhist temple called Tianxing Temple.
The core secret method is a mental technique that involves observing the stars in the celestial sphere, imprinting them with mental energy, and finally manifesting them in the space of the mind's lake. It then simulates the movement of the stars to glimpse the secrets of heaven.
It sounds unremarkable.
Wang Yu, however, found a way to improve the Jade Void Glazed Wall. This Heavenly Star Secret Technique will be the second secret technique born from the combination of the two techniques, following the "Stealing Heaven Demon Hand".
Using the causal energy of the celestial bodies as a barrier, the fifth core principle of the Glazed Wall was deduced, making the Tianxing Temple secret method quite suitable.
The five hundred years of deduction and advancement time has thus been reduced to two hundred years. If Wang Yu puts in more effort, this secret method can shield most of the cause-and-effect calculations of True Immortals.
As for beings like Xuande Zhenxian, Wang Yu temporarily categorized them as top-tier experts among Zhenxian, and they are not within the scope of conventional consideration.
Wang Yu spent two years on his trip to Tianxing Temple.
The discussion and debate took less time, but the study of the collections took a long time, as each Buddhist temple has a lot of things in its collection.
This means that Wang Yu needs to comprehend a great many books on spiritual principles, but it is foreseeable that the more Buddhist temples he visits, the more repetitive the scriptures will become.
The time spent should decrease over time.
He also had to take care of his own cultivation on weekdays, so it was normal for him to be a little slower. After he finished taking on Tianxing Temple, the whole thing started to spread throughout the Lion Camel Realm.
…………
Samsara Temple.
Under a Bodhi tree, two old monks sat facing each other.
The former was the Holy Monk of Reincarnation, whose cultivation had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage, and who had already transcended eight tribulations and was close to becoming an immortal. The latter was the Holy Monk Ksitigarbha, who was only an avatar who came to this place.
His physical strength was also at the level of an Eighth Tribulation Loose Immortal, making him one of the most outstanding individuals in the entire Lion Camel Realm. However, under the rule of Buddha Light Immortal, there was no true Ninth Tribulation Loose Immortal in the entire Lion Camel Realm.
What's your opinion on the matter of Xuande Zhenxian's three disciples?
It seems that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is unable to move freely in his physical form for some reason, so he often travels the world in an incarnation to answer questions from the Samsara Bodhisattva.
He simply shook his head and said, "Let nature take its course. The Buddhist sect should not get too involved in the affairs of the Immortal Palace, and should also have the utmost reverence for other True Immortals."
"I don't think so. If they can tolerate demonic cultivators, and even allow half-demons or true monsters to take power, why can't we?"
He paused for a moment as he spoke.
As if observing the reaction of the Holy Monk Ksitigarbha, the Holy Monk Samsara continued after a breath.
"The Mahayana Buddhist Realm has been sealed off for 30,000 years, and no news has come out so far. This time, Xuande's third disciple came to the Lion Camel Realm. It seems that he has also cultivated the Mind Path. This will be a good opportunity to test him."
The holy monk Ksitigarbha frowned, staring intently into his old friend's eyes.
He spoke after a long pause.
"Don't forget, your roots are in the human race. The beings in the Mahayana Buddhist Realm are too unpredictable; you must not come into contact with them again."
"You misunderstand me. When faced with matters of great importance, how could I be unwise? Since Wang Yu cultivates both the Way of the Mind and the Way of the Soul, why can't he become a disciple of the Buddha of my Samsara lineage?"
"Is this what you mean by testing? Enraging True Immortal Xuande?"
“That boy is asking questions at the ‘Eight Sufferings Temple’. His proposed Three Treatises are so eloquent that we cannot criticize them. We can naturally use them against him. What I want to fight for is only the right to spread the teachings.”
After that, the room fell silent. (End of Chapter)
