Just because he comes from the royal family, I don't really want to see him. What makes me very interested is that the person who submitted the invitation is from the Kyoto Pure Land Sect of Buddhism.
Moreover, he is a former acquaintance of mine, the Pure Land Sect elder who was responsible for cultivating me in the Pure Land Sect for three years.
Things in the world are so wonderful and difficult to fathom, and we can’t help but marvel at the cause and effect.
This elder of the Pure Land Sect came to visit me with an invitation from Buddhism. After discussing in depth, he said that he was from the royal family and wanted to recruit me for a big shot in the royal family.
He took out the relics left behind by the Nirvana of a Pure Land Sect figure who was close to the level of a martial sage, and it was also a relic that I had obtained before.
I secretly felt funny and at the same time lamented the withering of the treasures under this prince's hands.
Of course, the talents among them are also quite withered, otherwise, this elder of the Pure Land Sect would not come here again.
I don't want to join the lineage of the Third Prince again, although that one didn't say which one he came from.
Different from the last round, this time the elder of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism could not be more friendly to me.
After all, my identity is no longer a figure controlled by the Third Prince's lineage to pretend to be the son of the Buddha, but a genuine reincarnation of the Buddha.
Just outside where we were talking, Zen Master Kurong was sitting quietly cross-legged.
With such an identity and background, when I talk to this elder of the Pure Land Sect and the representative of the prince of the royal family, the treatment I get is completely different from before.
However, the Third Prince does not have many cards in his hand. Although the gifts I sent seemed sincere, the two gifts were the same, which can only be said to be unsatisfactory.
Far inferior to the princes of other lineages. Well, shortly after the representatives of the third prince lineage arrived, several other princes also sent representative figures to Donglin Temple to communicate with me.
Among them, the prince or eldest prince of the current dynasty was the most majestic. Not only did he send several Buddhist classics handed down from ancient times - the fragments of the Mahavairocana Sutra, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra and the Diamond Sutra annotations, but also many Buddhist scriptures.
Unique utensils and the Seven Buddhist Treasures.
When it comes to the preciousness of gifts, if they are not measured by property, the gifts sent by the eldest prince can truly be considered valuable. Among them, the commentary on the Diamond Sutra made even Zen Master Kurong look at it.
That was an annotation written by Li Cunxiao. According to legend, the Thirteen Taibao were the best in horizontal training. Their physical bodies were indestructible. Before they became Martial Saints, their bodies were not inferior to Martial Saints. They could compete with Martial Saints. They were the strongest on the battlefield.
An invincible general.
There is a widespread rumor in the world that Li Cunxiao practiced the Thirteen Taibao Henglian, and he practiced to the highest level, so he was invincible in the world.
However, the Thirteen Taibao Henglian was circulated in the martial arts scriptures, and it was only a second-rate method. It was even said that if Li Cunxiao had not made the world famous with this method, the Thirteen Taibao Henglian would have been a second-rate method at all.
It was also after Li Cunxiao became famous all over the world that the Thirteen Taibao Henglian was included in the martial arts classics.
But in the secret records of the imperial court and even the secret records of Buddhism, Li Cunxiao did not just practice the Thirteen Taibao Henglian.
Li Cunxiao was endowed with extraordinary talents and physically invincible. It was rumored that he had the same physique as that overlord of Western Chu, and was extremely domineering.
The general cannot defeat Li, and the king cannot defeat Xiang. They are the two of them.
But Li Cunxiao was not only invincible in the world with the help of thirteen Taibao, he lived a difficult life in the early days, and he did practice the simplest horizontal training method. Later, he understood one of the highest Buddhist scriptures in Buddhism, the Diamond Sutra.
Integrating the Diamond Sutra into the training of the Thirteen Supreme Protectors he practiced made him truly invincible.
What the eldest prince sent over was the Diamond Sutra that Li Cunxiao had annotated.
Gold is eternal and immortal, hardness is the most solid and strong.
The Buddhist Vajra represents eternity, firmness and strength.
However, it is too difficult to get started with the Diamond Sutra, and many people are unable to get in. If they could get the annotations of Li Cunxiao, who has practiced the most powerful way in this way, many people who cultivate the Equator would be excited to the point of madness.
I am also quite curious about this scripture. After all, I am a fellow practitioner of many top-notch magical arts, but because my physical body is not strong enough, I am stuck in the last step and cannot become a martial saint.
I am very curious about this method that can greatly strengthen the physical body and make it invincible. My last brother had seen the Diamond Sutra, but failed to practice it.
I took a look at Li Cunxiao's annotations. They are concise and to the point, and every word is precise... Well, to put it simply, what he wrote was too elliptical.
In a daze, I thought that I had listened to the lectures of those top students in school all my life, applied this formula, and added this formula... It is obvious and can be obtained...
Well, for the most talented person, such a simple point is enough, but maybe because my qualifications are dull, this related explanation is too brief and I can't understand it.
Zen Master Kurong also read the relevant annotations, but he didn’t understand much.
In the end, I could only sigh and say: "Perhaps it is because of his overlord-like physique. People with that physique practice the Diamond Sutra very differently from us, and it is difficult for us to use the relevant annotations."
…
Zhang Mingtu was quite curious when he saw this, and he was not very disappointed that he could not practice the Diamond Sutra.
But I'm also curious, what kind of physique does Overlord have?
Yu Zhifu has relevant atlases, and major aristocratic families also have some.
But it seems that I have never heard of Overlord's physique, and the previous brother did not provide relevant information.
When he was young, he was able to carry a cauldron, which was far superior to ordinary people. At the age of thirty, he became a martial sage.
Throughout the ages, overlords can be regarded as the best on this path.
Moreover, the military situation he created allowed him to lead an army and fight against the Martial Saint before he became a Martial Saint.
He was the second generation emperor of Daxia, Zhao Chuhan's biggest enemy in his life, and he had defeated Zhao Chuhan many times.
No one knows what kind of physique such a peerless figure has. Zhang Mingtu originally thought that it should be one of the Four Saints.
But among the Four Saints' physiques, there is no physique that matches the Overlord's.
The body of a true dragon has an endless supply of energy and blood, which is endless, and the vitality of the physical body is terrifyingly powerful. Above the realm of the Grandmaster, one can achieve rebirth by bleeding before reaching the stage of the Martial Saint.
Moreover, the potential of the physical body seems to be endless, and the lifespan is long.
It's quite powerful in terms of attack, and it's not bad in terms of defense.
But no path is perfect.
When it comes to offensive power alone, the White Tiger's body is obviously more powerful. It is born with the power to kill, and its offensive power can be regarded as unparalleled.
In terms of life essence, the body of the phoenix or the body of the vermillion bird has gone very far in this way, leaning towards the extreme. Its ability to reborn from the fire is even more powerful than the body of the true dragon.
When it comes to longevity, the Xuanwu Holy Body ranks first among the Four Holy Bodies.
There were doubts in his mind, but Zhang Mingtu didn't get the answer. After thinking for a moment, he continued to look down.
…
A wave of princes all sent a pair of gifts, each expressing their optimism for me and Donglin Temple, but I did not choose to lean towards either side.
In fact, just keep it as it is now.
In terms of precious gifts, the gift from the third prince is the most useful to me.
The gifts given by other princes are more of a warning or reminder.
Let me not lean to either side, I understand the meaning easily.
Even though the secrets given by the First Prince's lineage, which is the most precious gift, are very meaningful to Donglin Temple, these secrets can be easily copied and are not too valuable for the First Prince's lineage.
After returning to peace again, news came from Yu Zhifu that he had become the top martial scholar in Kyoto and was notified to the world.
At the age of less than three years old, he was directly named Jinyiwei Qianhu.
After ten years of hard work, no one asked, but once he was nominated, the whole world knew about him.
For a short period of time, I did not harass him, but still stayed in Donglin Temple to practice.
Donglin Temple still silently supported me this time. After learning that the practice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra required the elimination of obsessions, it still made the same move as before, reducing taxes within the scope of Donglin Temple.
My level of strength has improved rapidly. In order to maintain part of my strength advantage, I also studied the Fudo Myoyo Sutra.
The overall practice was smooth and fluent, and there were no major problems. I reached the eighth level of marrow cleansing and blood transfusion.
When I reached this state, I felt no rush to break through in cultivation, but chose to take the initiative to suppress it.
I have not forgotten my purpose.
Not only to become a martial saint, but also to try to practice the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake to perfection.
If the marrow is washed and exchanged too early, it will be difficult for the Tiandao lines in the body to succeed.
I need to find some dragon monsters and use their inner elixir and blood essence to practice.
Normally this road is quite difficult, but my last brother once killed a powerful dragon in the Yangtze River Basin.
I followed the picture and took the Eighteen Arhats from Donglin Temple with me, together with Zen Master Kurong, and I packed up a powerful dragon and took it away without causing much trouble along the way.
Well, perhaps the only surprising thing was when the dragon emerged from the water, roared to the sky, and swallowed up the person who harassed him.
When I saw the eighteen monks with their bodies shining with golden light, and the half-crying, half-deaf corpse in the cave, my eyes showed that kind of despair and that kind of misery. Unfortunately, I don’t have an outstanding painter, so I couldn’t paint that picture.
Draw it.
This being that is about to transform into a dragon has even built a dragon palace under the water. It is already gathering momentum, preparing to follow the ebb and flow of the tide and rush into the sea with endless waves during the rainy season to transform into a dragon.
Of course, in the process of becoming a true dragon, the vast waves will certainly roll up some houses and people on both sides of the strait, but it doesn't care.
Just like the many corpses lying around its palace, not many existences care about it.
Zen Master Kurong wanted to slay demons more because he heard that I needed the dragon inner elixir for my practice, so I made a special trip there.
With the help of the dragon inner elixir and the surging essence and blood, the fifth heavenly path pattern appeared in my body. My physical body was extremely strong, my energy and blood were more abundant than before, and my soul and physical body had recently undergone a transformation.
My body is filled with blood that is half gold and half red. It is very different from ordinary people. I have a different feeling.
But one thing is worth noting, I was struck by lightning.
When the fourth heavenly pattern was generated, I encountered a small thunder disaster.
The sudden thunderstorm struck me half to death. The patterns of heavenly law in my body underwent some minor changes under the thunderstorm, and were different from the original ones.
The original hearing patterns were basically copied from Yu Zhifu's. After experiencing the thunder tribulation, there were some subtle changes in the patterns in the body.
The main body remains unchanged, but the subtle changes in the inscription seem to make it more in line with my state, making my blood more active and my spirit more agile.
In the words of Zen Master Kurong, it is like the finishing touch.
Acquired makes up for innate, and the part created by acquired is still partially incomplete, but heaven and earth automatically complete this imperfection.
The whole thing is more suitable for heaven and earth, and also more suitable for myself.
However, after the fifth pattern of heaven appeared, we encountered a problem.
I don't know why it has reached a bottleneck, and there is no way to engrave the subsequent Tiandao patterns.
I know that there are bound to be many obstacles on the road of life. Although I am a little disappointed, I am not depressed.
Mainly the blood vessels and vein changes in Yu Zhifu's body, only Zen Master Kurong could see them and describe them briefly.
After all, there is a certain gap between the report from a third party and what Yu Zhifu and I saw directly.
There are many problems, which are difficult to overcome in a short time. It requires more experiments and more volunteers. I cannot push it forward alone.
Research once stagnated. In fact, this is the norm. The rapid progress of research before is an abnormal state.
After all, Daxia has been researching for hundreds of years, but there are not many achievements in this area.
Unlike my practice, which was in trouble, after Yu Zhifu became the top martial artist, the imperial court opened many hidden powers to him, and he made rapid progress in martial arts.
He did not change his appearance, and simply used his original identity to defeat all the masters in the world. No one was his opponent.
Not long after, I heard again about the challenge that made him famous all over the world.
Yu Zhifu climbed to the Shaolin Mountains in the North, fighting from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain and from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. No one could rival him.
He finally showed his most unique point, conquering the world and no one can compete with him.
Compared with him, I am much inferior. The disciples of Donglin Temple traveled all over the country to find traces of demons, and then I targeted them to eliminate them, especially the dragons.
At the same time, I killed many spies in the Land of the Rising Sun and found that they stored a lot of treasures.
Then the improved version of the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake was tested. Unfortunately, the threshold for the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake was too high, making it difficult for those without high talents to get started. Among many characters, only Yang You got started and reached the third stage of practice.
When heading towards the fourth stage, he also encountered a thunderstorm, but fortunately he had previous experience and did not suffer too much damage.
After being verified by many parties, the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake finally have the sixth level.
I feel the urgency of time, time is rushing, and it is already the eighth year.
The Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake were not perfected successfully, but I didn’t have much time to wait. In the eighth year, that is, when I was twenty-five years old, I reached the ninth stage of marrow washing and blood transfusion.
I began to practice the most important and critical practice, trying to become a martial saint.
