News of the battle with the Dragon Elephant Master spread quickly.
More and more Buddhist cultivators came to watch. Their strength was basically at the sixth level or above. They rode golden light and followed far behind Wang Yu and his companion, neither attacking nor communicating with them.
Like spectators, this meant Wang Yu didn't have a good reason to take action against them. There were bystanders, people just there for the spectacle, and even quite a few "bloodthirsty spectators."
But most of them were informants from various Buddhist temples.
After the trip to Nanagi-ji Temple.
Wang Yu's target has been completely figured out. Many Buddhist temples with the lineage of the Mindful Way are both looking forward to his visit and worried about it.
If he could defeat him, he would not only become famous in the Lion Camel Realm, but also gain some fame in the entire Vast Immortal Domain. Wang Yu did not take any further action against the "audience" or the Buddhist temple.
Maintaining its own pace, another three years passed without rushing.
That day.
The eighth Buddhist temple, Ara-ji.
This Buddhist temple is quite powerful, and its abbot is a Mahayana stage being. The true difficulty of debating the Dharma and seizing the Dharma is beginning to emerge for the first time. There are three core secret methods.
"The Mantra for Overcoming Calamities", "A Mind Like a Clear Mirror", "Reflecting One's True Self".
The Heart Mantra for Overcoming Calamities inherits the mysterious qualities of mental power and can temporarily consume the luck in the dark to resolve calamities. These calamities include human calamities, calamities of heaven and earth, and calamities of cause and effect!
Once mastered, it will be like the "Great Fortune Secret Technique," constantly accumulating fortune and power. If it encounters a calamity far exceeding its own existence, it is very likely to trigger various coincidences.
Until you are completely out of danger, and the tribulation is resolved or delayed, or when you break through to a higher realm and the tribulation is too powerful to overcome, you can use this mantra to weaken the power of the lightning tribulation.
Turn the tide and survive the ordeal!
Its core lies in the two words "Crossing Tribulations," which is one of the spiritual secrets that Wang Yu most desires. This makes him feel that the Crossing Tribulations Mantra and the Great Fortune are from the same series of secrets. He doesn't know who created it, but it brings out the characteristics of mental power extremely well!
The second secret technique of the Akura Temple, "Mind Like a Clear Mirror," is a typical technique for calming the mind. It is a secret technique that keeps the mind pure and untainted by the erosion of various external demons.
It has little combat ability itself, but its support effects are quite good.
certainly.
Wang Yu didn't need this thing, but since he was already there, it was only right to take it. The third type, "Reflecting the True Self," was quite interesting.
This method helps practitioners refine their self-awareness into their true spirit.
It can even maintain a clear consciousness in the cycle of reincarnation, and in the next life, there is a greater chance to unravel the mystery of the womb and awaken memories of past lives. It is almost a way to live a second life without any loss.
This method is also one of the key transmissions of the Samsara lineage, which shows that the Akara Temple has a close relationship with it. The opportunity of reincarnation is just an effect of "reflecting the true self".
Even more mysteriously, it can help cultivators see their true nature, clarify their path, and thus enhance their comprehension.
The Akara Temple has quite a rich history.
Each of the three secret techniques has its own strengths. When combined with the orthodox techniques of the immortal and Buddhist sects, the resulting power is indeed not weak, but it cannot be considered strong.
However, upon actual arrival...
The cause and effect were subtly touched, and Wang Yu suddenly realized that there was an old friend of his in the temple, taking into account the information he had previously learned.
He couldn't help but feel a little tempted. Could it be Miaoshan?
...
Akara-ji Temple.
Unlike ordinary Buddhist temples, this temple is not built on a sacred peak, but rather stands in the sky, with a vast platform paved with black bricks below.
The interior was clearly set up with a formation that could contain a mustard seed within a Sumeru.
Beneath the pitch-black platform is a hideous giant with eight arms, lifting the entire Evil Temple with four arms supporting the sky, while the other four arms hold a Buddhist knife, a Buddhist bell, a vajra, and an Asura umbrella.
This is the corpse of an Asura, a master of the Dao of Slaughter and the Dao of Body Refinement. He was a born killer, and his mastery of these arts was no less than that of Xue Fei.
Although not a top-tier race in the cosmic sea, they still stand at the entrance, being allies of the demon race, and have frequently attacked the human race.
Buddhism focuses on dealing with such murderous individuals and converting them to enlightenment.
Many Asura Kings from the Mahayana stage and even the Tribulation stage were captured. Almost every Arhat with a golden body or a Tribulation stage practitioner who has attained the Bodhisattva status in Vulture Peak has several Dharma Protectors transformed from Asura Kings, which are used to drive them.
The blood feud between them and the Asura race is deeper than any racial conflict.
After pondering various pieces of information, Wang Yu arrived.
The novice monk who had been waiting for a long time immediately led the two into the Buddhist temple. A large number of Buddhist monks and practitioners gathered in the square, clearly wanting to try a different way of discussing the Dharma.
At the head of the table, Zen Master Ero smiled and held up a flower.
Seven or eight Dao Integration stage masters, more than thirty Void Refinement stage monks, and hundreds of Divine Transformation stage monks formed a semi-circle, with Wang Yu in the center and Bai Chengfeng tactfully moving to the side.
As soon as it landed.
Wang Yu's eyes met those of a bald, beautiful nun in the Nascent Soul group, which made his eyes twitch slightly. Who else could this woman be but Jin Miaoshan?
Even with her head shaved, she still couldn't hide her stunning beauty, but Wang Yu still felt a little uncomfortable with it.
He doesn't like bald heads, let alone bald women...
For him, it meant he had become ugly!
However, he could also understand that the hidden dangers caused by Jin Miaoshan's forced cultivation of the "Asura Killing Scripture" in the Ice Prison Realm were considerable, and she had always found it difficult to control that Asura killing heart.
Wang Yu helped her a lot with this matter, but after they were separated by accident back then, some of the human cultivators, including Jin Miaoshan, who had been stranded in the Wutong Realm, were returned to the Ice Prison.
Another part, through Yan Ling's efforts.
After a brief stay in the Wutong Realm, the Phoenix Clan sent them back to the True Spirit Realm, essentially giving them a free ride on the "Ascension Vehicle" with only a transfer along the way.
Wang Yu had spoken to Jin Miaoshan about this back then.
The Mind Path can help control the Asura's killing intent. The Heart Sutra has been passed on to the other party. It's just a pity that the Heart Sutra is difficult to cultivate. Without perseverance and the patience to never give up, one cannot succeed.
It's difficult to achieve anything significant in this field; comprehension is crucial.
All the prerequisites are indispensable. Jin Miaoshan does not want to lose control of her murderous intent, so she will naturally pursue the secret method of mental power in order to uphold her original intention. She has neither Wang Yu's talent and ability, nor his background, sect in the upper realm, etc.
Therefore, they could only join the Buddhist order to obtain the secret methods of spiritual practice.
For her personally, this was a relatively correct and quick approach, and Wang Yu had no grounds to criticize her; he was more concerned about Yu Tangtang's whereabouts.
Before ascending, he needed to leverage the influence of the Jin clan of Tianchi.
His relationship with Kim Myo-sun was the best; they were almost like Daoist partners, though their relationship was inevitably mixed with interests and trade-offs.
From their first meeting, their relationship was entangled with a series of transactions. After so many years, how much pure affection remained? Even Wang Yu couldn't say for sure.
'It's a pity... I wonder if I can persuade her to return to secular life.'
Wang Yu highly approves of this woman's business acumen. The Blood Realm also needs more trustworthy people, and these close female friends who had a close relationship with him during his time in the lower realm are clearly one of the best choices.
He had many thoughts in his mind, but in reality, he only glanced at her before looking away, continuing to scan the area before finally settling his gaze on the early Mahayana practitioner, Master Eroja.
Wang Yu spoke calmly.
"I, the Lord of the Blood Realm, greet Zen Master Evil Luo and fellow Daoists. I suppose... you all know the purpose of my visit. Shall we go through the formalities?"
Zen Master Ero smiled.
"Young friend Xuehuan's Three Treatises have spread throughout the Lion Camel Realm, and I agree to it in principle. However, I have heard that your Buddhist attainments are also extremely profound. I wonder if it would be possible to add a step?"
"On Buddhism?"
"Buddha is the Tao, and the Tao is one with Heaven and Earth. The goal of cultivation is to attain the true immortality. We are here to discuss the Tao. All of you here are pillars of this temple. Young friend, are you willing to use your own strength to resolve the doubts of these heroes? If you succeed, you will be able to see all the lineages of the Mindful Tao!"
Goodness.
Relying on his Mahayana cultivation, Zen Master Ero Luo believed he was qualified to raise the difficulty level. He didn't want to give away his family's inheritance so easily, as there were also instructions from the Samsara lineage behind it.
Wang Yu was too arrogant, and the smaller temples were powerless against him.
But that doesn't mean he's powerless.
'That's interesting.'
But Wang Yu clearly wouldn't follow the opponent's lead.
He immediately said in a loud voice.
“Evil Luo Sect Leader, I am a demonic cultivator who believes in enlightenment through battle. Why don’t those who have doubts fight me? Their doubts will be dispelled.”
Interpreting Buddhist teachings? That's not something a human being can do!
It wasn't something Wang Yu was good at, so he naturally wouldn't agree easily. Similarly, the other party wouldn't compromise easily either, but they keenly seized on the loopholes in his words.
The evil Zen Master's eyes flickered.
"The Dao of Battle? What you say makes sense, young friend, but if I have any doubts, shouldn't I seek the true answers together with you in battle..."
Wang Yu frowned slightly, as if he had just realized something was wrong.
In reality, it was all an act.
He deliberately led the evil Zen Master Luo to say such bullying words, and when he was exploring the ancient realm, he often used the Yellow Spring Heaven Demon Banner in public.
Even if these Buddhist monks are very secretive, they must have grasped all the information he revealed.
But don't forget, he has connections.
Xuande Zhenxian is the strongest backer of the human race, and that... is his master!
Master Ero could probably guess that Wang Yu wanted to lure him into making a move.
And that is indeed the case.
Just when he thought Wang Yu would agree even more arrogantly, trying to defeat him in the battle, he saw the other party show a surprised expression.
He looked puzzled.
"What are you saying, Sect Leader? I am merely at the late stage of the Dao Integration realm. How could I possibly be a match for a Heavenly Venerable-level expert like you? Are you trying to bully the weak?"
These words were spoken.
Wang Yu's shameless image was instantly imprinted in everyone's minds, and Master Eluo frowned deeply.
It was precisely because Wang Yu was visiting them openly and legitimately.
He was unable to attack Wang Yu, so he tried to trick him into breaking the deadlock by force, but it seems that he has failed so far!
However, the intelligence report did not say that this person was arrogant and rude.
He is used to intimidating people with force. In theory, he can provoke them with a little provocation and turn the three-way gambling into a battle agreement. He has even found a Heavenly Profound Spiritual Treasure to restrain the Yellow Spring Heavenly Demon Banner.
But this is the result!
Wang Yu had been on guard against this for a long time. Given his personality, he did like to break the deadlock with force, but... there are thousands of strong people in the Lion Camel Realm, and Xiao Si is not the only one who has inherited the Mind Path.
Among them, there are many Great Buddha Temples with beings at the middle and late stages of Mahayana, and even at the level of Transcending Tribulation Immortals. He is confident that he can defeat the evil Zen Master Ero Luo, who is at the early stage of Mahayana.
Could he possibly fight all the way to the end and compete with the Samsara Saint Monk? This was obviously unrealistic, so at the beginning of the Wuxin Temple, he focused the debate on "enlightenment".
This is his true strength; his combat prowess is merely an illusion.
If his opponent in the debate were placed in the Blood Realm, he would likely adopt a strategy similar to what Zen Master Evil Luo predicted: suppressing everything with force.
The main theme of this discussion must not be altered here.
otherwise.
If he were to fight the abbot of every Buddhist temple that followed, he would be defeated within a few years, thus ending his journey of seeking enlightenment.
Seeing that Zen Master Evil Luo was speechless, he realized that Evil Luo was speechless.
His eyes darted around.
He proactively offered the other party a way out: "I suppose that someone of your status as a senior Zen master would disdain bullying the weak. How about a martial arts duel between people of the same cultivation level? If you can suppress your cultivation level to the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm, I can agree. If not, how about a literary duel to test your comprehension?"
—The true intentions are revealed when the map is unrolled!
While it seemed like a way out had been offered, in reality, due to his identity, Zen Master Ero was completely trapped. If he agreed, the matter would be definitively settled.
In the future, when Mahayana beings, or even those at the Tribulation Transcending stage, intervene.
He could only suppress his cultivation level to the late stage of the Dao Integration realm to compete with Wang Yu. Wang Yu had never been afraid of power at this level, and he did not believe that anyone could defeat him at the same level.
Even a Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal wouldn't be able to do it!
This confidence stemmed from his comprehension of eleven Great Dao Laws and his cultivation of the Body, Mind, and Star God Paths. One punch could take down an opponent at the same realm; this confidence was a result of his numerical abilities.
If Zen Master Ero doesn't agree, then the competition will have to be based on comprehension, which naturally means that no Mahayana or Tribulation Transcending stage experts will be able to participate.
With a guardrail by your side, victory is assured!
Wang Yu was even more confident than those who fought against opponents of the same realm. The situation remained deadlocked for a time, and Master Evil cursed the little fox in his heart several times.
Ultimately, however, they were powerless to do anything and had no choice but to agree.
"In that case, let's do as you say, young friend. I will suppress my cultivation to the seventh level of the Dao Integration Realm."
"—Let's fight!"
Without wasting a word, Wang Yu unleashed his aura, preparing for the duel. He emphasized that since it was a fair fight, the use of laws, spiritual treasures, and other methods would follow the unspoken rules of fair combat.
Those that exceed the Dao Integration Realm cannot be used.
Wang Yu also has an advantage in this regard; he can use his natal spiritual treasure, while Evil Zen Master cannot.
His natal spiritual treasure has already advanced to the Heavenly Profound Spiritual Treasure level along with his cultivation, and has also been refined with many precious materials. If he were to use it, it would be a case of the strong bullying the weak.
Just after Wang Yu and his opponent started fighting.
A stunningly beautiful female cultivator from the Samsara lineage, who had not shaved her head, quietly arrived at the entrance of the palace and stared blankly at the battle in the square, where the cultivators were clearly holding back their strength.
His eyes were fixed on Wang Yu.
If Wang Yu were to shift his attention, he would surely discover that this woman was none other than the Star Moon Fairy, who had helped him cultivate using the dual cultivation method in the Void Heaven Secret Realm of the Ice Prison Realm.
This woman was once known as "the most beautiful woman in the Ice Prison".
During the great battle between the righteous and the demonic, he sacrificed his life to activate a state-level grand formation, forcibly replacing several late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators of the demonic path, thus giving the righteous path a breath of fresh air.
He even lived a second life in the cycle of reincarnation.
It now appears that this has an inexplicable and profound connection to the Buddhist lineage of reincarnation. (End of Chapter)
