——Heart Lake Space!
This is a special space reflected by the minds of cultivators, existing between the real and the virtual, yet its existence can be truly felt.
Generally speaking, there is no way to invade the space of the mind in the conventional sense; one must start from the level of the mind. This characteristic is somewhat similar to the characteristics of the void rift.
Although they are not the same thing in essence, their characteristics are indeed similar.
The Heart Lake Space is a reflection of a cultivator's mind, and it can reflect a person's character from a different perspective. For example, in Wang Yu's Heart Lake Space, there is a calm, blood-red lake surface.
This shows that he was completely immersed in killing, yet he was still able to maintain a calm and composed mind, and perfectly control this desire to keep killing.
The square platform island in the middle shows that he is a person who values rules very much, but the wildly growing tree in the heart lake shows that his rules only apply to others.
I'm the exception, in other words... double standards!
However, Wang would definitely not admit it. As the dignified Lord of the Blood Realm, what's wrong with him being a little hypocritical?
Demonic cultivators are all like this; he's blending in with the world!
Right now.
As the Supreme Realm of Forgetfulness was achieved, bursts of milky white light were born in the Heart Lake space, turning the blood-red sky into clarity, and the area of the Heart Lake space increased more than a hundredfold.
The crimson lake represents Wang Yu's total mental energy. This mysterious and unpredictable power of the mind is a power of belief, a miracle created from mere imagination.
Fundamentally, it is on the same level as the origin of the world, but it is somewhat inferior. Moreover, if one's Dao heart is not firm enough, there is a possibility of losing it all in one day.
This is something he has only recently come to realize.
No wonder the Mind Power Secret Technique has all sorts of incomprehensible and miraculous effects. Just think, immortal beings below the seventh rank are still using True Essence, Demonic Qi, True Demonic Qi, and so on as their source of power.
Cultivators who practice the Path of the Mind can use miraculous power similar to the "Origin of the World" even at a low level, which explains why the Path of the Mind was extremely difficult to cultivate in ancient times.
This requires an extraordinary amount of talent, which is why it has always been a small school of thought – passing it down is too difficult!
However, once a cultivator reaches a higher level, it becomes very difficult to reverse their mental state when cultivating the spiritual path. Even if they can, the effect of mental power is not significant. This thing must be combined with corresponding secret techniques to exert its true effect.
Wang Yu's cultivation back then was merely due to the placement of the railing.
Furthermore, practicing too many unorthodox and secret techniques requires a strong mind to ensure that one's self is not distorted.
Now that he has perfected the Six Desires Heaven cultivation, the resulting fruit, "Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions," has helped him break through to the sixth realm of the Path of the Mind—the Pure Nirvana Realm!
The mind is as if being caressed by a gentle breeze, all worries and distractions are swept away, the mind is clear, and even the intuition is significantly enhanced.
Use your heart to observe all things.
For the first time, Wang Yu experienced the remarkable effect of the Mind Dao on enlightenment; the efficiency of comprehending various laws and great principles increased by at least three times.
"The body is a Bodhi tree, and the mind is a mirror stand."
"A clear mirror is inherently pure; where can dust settle upon it?"
Wang Yu slowly opened his eyes. Having recently read many Buddhist scriptures, a line of poetry suddenly popped into his mind, and he also gained a deeper understanding of the Heart Sutra, which represents the state of perfection.
The increase in understanding is not the effect of the state of Nirvana, but rather the true application of the Heart Sutra to one's own mind. This mind... is the Bodhi mind!
The enhancement brought about by the Pure Nirvana Realm is by no means an illusion.
If I had to describe it...
It should be a kind of... focus? Or a method to improve efficiency. Suppose Wang Yu has 100 points of comprehension. In the past, his efficiency in comprehending cultivation techniques, Taoist scriptures, and even laws was 100%.
Now, these 100 points of enlightenment will have an even stronger effect, with an efficiency of 200%. After adding Bodhicitta, the most obvious effect is...
The progress of the Slaughter Path is about 60%, which requires 50 years to increase by 1%. This is the effect of the Enlightenment placement slot. Now it has been directly shortened to 10 years.
The progress of the Taiyin Dao is about 50%. Originally, it would take 30 years to increase by 1%, but now it only takes 6 years. Even the supreme law of space, the Taiyin Dao, only takes 14 years to increase by 1% after it exceeds the threshold of Mahayana.
This is a qualitative leap in improvement!
This means that every hundred years, at least one Great Dao Law can be elevated to the point of condensing a chain of divine laws, far exceeding the threshold of the Mahayana stage.
This will result in Wang Yu's strength rising again after activating the "Soul Fusion" effect of the Yellow Spring Heavenly Demon Banner, and the pressure on his comprehension of the laws will be greatly reduced.
The speed at which he reaches the threshold of the Great Ascension in the laws of time and power will also soar again, making it easier for him to improve his understanding of the laws.
Especially in the 1% to 50% range.
One year's worth of enlightenment is equivalent to hundreds of years of experience for others. The increase in spiritual cultivation is so obvious. I dare not imagine what it would be like to break through to the "Heavenly Heart Realm".
Not long after summarizing his gains, he further solidified his understanding of the subject.
He left a batch of cultivation resources for Xiao Chan'er and the others, and took all the rest with him. He didn't know how long this trip would take, and it seemed that it wouldn't be something he could finish in a short time.
Who knows, by the time he returns, he may have already reached the Mahayana stage, which will be the "period of handover." He has been holding a grudge against the Void Dharma Lineage for a long time.
It's just a matter of method and lineage.
It wasn't just the Daoist Kongkong who was a Dao-merging cultivator.
There is also a Grand Prison Master known as the "Subduing Whale Celestial Venerable," one of the three leaders of the Boundless Immortal Prison Department. He possesses some authority over the immortal treasure "Patrol Realm," and dealing with him will not be so easy.
This is the real reason why Wang Yu has not sought revenge. A wise man keeps his weapons hidden until the right time to act. Once he makes a move, he must completely eliminate the target; otherwise, he would rather not act at all.
It seems that the moment for his revenge is not far off.
May 1, Year 151 of the Travel Chronicle.
After Wang Yu contacted Bai Chengfeng, the two reunited in the True Spirit Realm and together stepped onto the Star Gate of the Thirty-Third Heaven, heading towards the Lion Camel Realm.
On the road.
Bai Chengfeng asked with great interest: "Fellow Daoist Wuxian, I recently inquired about your background. Is the Blood Realm Lord who made a great splash during the ancient realm's expansion you?"
Before Wang Yu could answer, he began to talk to himself.
"I knew it was you. It's a pity that I'm only at the Void Refining stage. I'm not qualified to participate in this level of ancient world exploration at all. I guess next time will be more suitable."
"I've heard you possess a set of nine Demonic Swords of Slaughter, which can be combined to form a Slaughtering Immortal Array, possessing boundless power. Many people suspect that your true form is a kind of extinct spirit called [Fei]. Could you show me those swords... just one will suffice!"
As he spoke, Bai Chengfeng even made a sword-finger gesture.
Clearly, the desire to become a sword immortal remained undiminished. Wang Yu had known this since the Mountain and Sea Realm, so he naturally didn't doubt its authenticity, though he felt somewhat helpless about it.
After a moment's thought, he took out the Demonic Calamity Killing Sword.
He let him play with it.
"Such a heavy aura of killing intent, malevolence, and calamity! As expected of the Immortal Sword of Slaughter, its potential is limitless!"
Bai Chengfeng was even more amazed. He practiced his swordplay the whole way, wishing he could also learn the peerless sword technique so that he could display his divine power. He even imagined the scene in his mind.
…………
…………
Shortly afterward, the two passed through the last stargate.
Lion Camel Realm... We've arrived!
After returning the killing sword, Bai Chengfeng's expression turned serious.
"Brother Wuxian, are you ready? To discuss the Dao with the mind and to compete in mental strength and cultivation is not just talk. Once you stumble, even I cannot save you."
"Rest assured, Master Tianlong, I will bear all the consequences!"
On the way, Wang Yu told him about his plans to merge with the Dao. Bai Chengfeng was just a "guide" on this trip. Although he was a bit rebellious, in his eyes everyone was human.
The path of the mind is a niche one, and even within Buddhism, not every temple lineage practices it. The true masters are found in the "Reincarnation Lineage," which is also the end of this journey.
"Since you have made up your mind, then this humble monk will not say any more."
Upon arriving in the Lion Camel Realm, Bai Chengfeng's expression became serious, as if he were completely different from the person outside. He actually took on the appearance of an enlightened monk, truly a remarkable person.
The scenery of the Lion Camel Realm is different from the desolate and barren landscape of the Demon Cultivation Realm, and it is also very different from the "fairyland" scenery of the True Spirit Realm, where the spiritual energy is so rich that it turns into mist.
The land here shimmered with golden light, every inch of soil imbued with Buddhist power, and vast architectural complexes sprang up around the thousands of Buddhist temples.
The air was filled with the gentle sounds of Zen chanting and the fragrant scent of sandalwood.
Every Buddhist follower has at least the Qi Refining stage of cultivation, and most of them are bald, though quite a few still have some hair.
In Wang Yu's eyes, however, the minds of these believers were completely filled with Buddhist light, and their souls were exceptionally strong, but their bodies were extremely thin, like skeletons.
At a glance, almost everyone was kneeling and chanting scriptures under the shrine.
Judging from this trend, it seems that eleven out of twelve hours a day are spent worshipping Buddha, even forgetting to eat. Fields outside the city where spiritual rice is grown are scarce, and large areas are left to grow wildly.
There wasn't a single grave in sight.
This peculiar ecosystem, seemingly harmonious, actually exudes a strong sense of malevolence, even more terrifying than the direct and cruel bloodshed of demonic practices.
Upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that Buddhist monks rarely travel outside the temple.
Even when they do encounter them, they are mostly beings of the sixth or seventh rank. Except in the lower realms, there are almost no Buddhist cultivators below this standard.
Now I can see it.
Even someone like Wang Yu felt a chill run down his spine. These people were all machines that produced the power of faith. Their faith was integrated into the earth, creating an endless Buddhist kingdom for the Buddha Light Immortal, elevating the Daoist temple, and changing the essence of this world.
Looking up, one can vaguely glimpse the view of the ends of the sky.
That place is none other than—Bodhi Heaven!
It is the core of the True Immortal's Daoist temple. The three thousand golden temples are like the abode of gods and immortals, overlooking heaven and earth and ruling over all living beings!
Seeing Wang Yu standing there motionless, Bai Chengfeng's face also flashed with a complicated expression. He was familiar with this kind of expression; almost every cultivator who had just arrived in the Lion Camel Realm would be stunned for a while.
Wang Yu observed for a while before marveling at it.
"It has to be you guys. Such high utilization efficiency. I also need to learn from you."
"I wonder how to replace these people who have died? I remember that the laws of the Celestial Palace explicitly forbid the killing of one's own kind."
"Leaving aside high-level cultivators, judging from the scale of the Lion Camel Realm, the number of low-level human beings enslaved must be no less than a trillion, right?"
Bai Chengfeng nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
“These creatures are all alien races, not human. Brother Wuxian, you will know if you look down into the ground.”
Upon hearing this...
Wang Yu activated the Sun and Moon Dragon Eyes. Although this secret technique was a shortcut to mastering the laws of time, it also possessed all the functions that a pupil technique should have.
When the gaze passes through three thousand feet of the earth, a space comes into view. It is the eighteen levels of hell created by Buddhism, where the reincarnation of the Lion Camel Realm is restricted.
You can see a demon soul that has been crushed, thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil by ghost messengers, washed, and then thrown into the Hell of Sharp Knives to be cleaned... After being cleansed by the eighteen levels of hell, only a trace of its true spirit remains.
At this point, it was thrown into the Reincarnation Pool in the center of Hell. When it came out again, it had been transformed into the appearance of a human soul. Finally, it was thrown into the Rebirth Pool and born in a pregnant family in the Lion Camel Realm.
The methods were simply impeccable. After all, humans are the most intelligent of all beings, possessing a constitution naturally close to the Dao, and the faith power they can provide is the purest and most immense.
A true spirit, just like Wang Yu's Blood Sea Demon Soldier.
They can reincarnate many times until they are drained of their last bit of spirituality and become mentally challenged, at which point their value is completely lost. However, there are a great many such alien spirits.
It seems that the spoils from the front-line battle between humans and demons have all been transferred here, including many souls of other alien races hostile to humans.
Wang Yu was incredibly envious of these methods.
He was so eager to learn something that he came to the Lion Camel Realm to seek guidance. He was right to come here; there were teachers everywhere.
—He deeply respects and admires the powerful speech and words of the Buddha!
I watched for quite a while.
Wang Yu slowly uttered two words: "Awesome!"
This profound recognition between men left Bai Chengfeng speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry. He was at a loss for words, with countless thoughts stuck in his throat, unable to utter a single syllable.
After a long silence, it turned into a long sigh.
In his view.
Demons are one thing, given the blood feud between them, no amount of torment is too much. But other races... especially those that resemble humans, always evoke a sense of shared sorrow whenever I see them.
Seeing Wang Yu's excited expression, Bai Chengfeng felt inferior.
"If Brother Wuxian is interested, you can go to the Samsara Lineage or the Ksitigarbha Lineage to learn more about it. The Eighteen Hells were created by the two lineages working together."
"That's true."
Putting aside his desire to learn, Wang Yu pondered the first stop of his journey of seeking enlightenment, a place called [Wuxin Temple], which incorporated Buddhist lineages of the Mind Path, and most of them were relatively weak.
The strongest might be at the Dao Integration stage or the Mahayana stage.
Only top-tier lineages like Samsara and Ksitigarbha have experts at the Tribulation Transcending stage.
The pressure of discussing the Dao in the early stages was not great, so after gathering intelligence, he customized the order according to his needs.
For example, the "Heartless Temple" has a top-level mental power secret technique called the "Heart Stealing Secret Technique." Its effects are extremely mysterious. When applied to living beings, it can ignore distance and directly steal the target's heart.
This is only the very shallowest layer.
The second layer can steal the core of formations and restrictions, rendering them ineffective.
The third level transcends reality and enters the realm of concepts, allowing you to steal a woman's heart and make her fall in love with you. It is even more powerful than a love potion because it is invisible.
The fourth floor... I haven't found out yet.
Although this method is expected to have many limitations, it is also an extremely powerful secret technique. Wang Yu wants to complete his methods of spiritual cultivation, so he naturally has to try everything.
Here in his possession are secret methods of mental power and classic texts on the path of the mind.
Whether high or low, it is a very important gain, used to fill his "Taoist Canon Database". As long as he collects enough, he can deduce and create his own methods.
All he had to do was use a spell placement slot and a tiny bit of time.
And now, the one thing he has in abundance is time!
Collect information gradually, and grow rapidly.
"Let's go, Master Tianlong, our first stop is Wuxin Temple." (End of Chapter)
