The moment the crown turned from empty to real, a majestic and shocking power of heaven descended from the sky, transformed into a rainbow, and landed on Lin Ze with incomparable precision.
When the power of heaven entered his body, Lin Ze instantly felt a sense of extreme comfort all over his body. He couldn't help but groan and opened his hands, as if embracing the whole world.
However, this is just Lin Ze's illusion. The world does not belong to him, it is just the way of heaven that has opened a corner of the curtain in front of him.
This corner of the curtain may be insignificant to the vastness of heaven, but to ordinary heavenly beings, it takes no telling how many years and how much luck they have accumulated before they have the opportunity to understand it all.
At this moment, the fragments of Heavenly Dao gathered into a long river, flowing in Lin Ze's mind, allowing him to pick the fruits from it.
As long as Lin Ze is willing, he can take this opportunity to try to understand many avenues and enhance his own strength.
In this kind of favorable environment, Lin Ze did not act rashly. He just looked up at the scorching sun and murmured to himself: "Is this what destiny is? It's really terrifying and powerful."
Lin Ze briefly deduced that regardless of his understanding of the Great Dao, as long as he was able to mobilize the power of Heaven's Dao, in the state of destiny, he was almost equal to the third realm of Heaven and Man.
Let’s not mention Zhuang Zhou, whose cultivation is unfathomable, but Hui Shi, who is not far away, should be helpless to Lin Ze at this moment.
Hui Shi was extremely shocked at this moment. According to his calculation, Lin Ze's sacrifice to heaven was almost impossible to succeed this time, but the result was far beyond his expectation.
Hui Shi, who studied under the Taoist Sage and experienced many weird and strange things, quickly regained his composure and asked in a deep voice: "Is my junior brother worried that the teacher will not let you get your destiny too early, so you take the risk?"
Lin Ze replied with a puzzled look on his face: "Why did you say this, senior brother? It is the teacher's decision to represent the Tao Palace to fight for the destiny. Now that the junior brother has successfully obtained the destiny, it is too late for the teacher to be happy, so how can he refuse?"
"What's more, the master-disciple relationship between you, me, and the teacher is very deep. If the teacher feels that the time has not come, he will definitely show it. How can the senior brother doubt the teacher with unfounded speculations?"
"To be honest, senior brother, the reason why junior brother took the risk was that he was worried that the Buddha and the Confucian saints would be unfavorable to junior brother if they found out about this matter. Now that the matter is settled, and with the blessing of teacher, they may acquiesce in this matter."
Hui Shi hesitated when he heard the words, then chuckled and said: "Junior brother is very impressed by your sharp words. No wonder the teacher took a fancy to you at a glance and accepted you as his direct disciple."
"It's just that no matter how sharp your words are, junior brother, you still have to pass the teacher's test later?"
"Even though junior brother is destined to be here, after all, junior brother is only in the second realm of heaven and human beings. At most, he is equivalent to the third realm."
"If the teacher takes action to punish, the junior brother will have no power to fight back."
Lin Ze suddenly realized when he heard this and said: "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me that the second realm of heaven and man is not enough for the Buddha and Confucian saints to retreat. It seems that junior brother has to find a way to break through the third realm of heaven and man."
Hui Shi laughed out loud: "Junior brother seems to be trapped in a confusion. Is it so easy to break through the third realm of heaven and man?"
Lin Ze took out a bodhi seed with green buds from his arms, spread it out in the palm of his hand, stared at it in a daze and said, "You have to try it, right?"
Hui Shi looked at the bodhi tree with green buds from a distance, his pupils shrank sharply, and he lost his voice and said: "How can you have the bodhi tree seed?"
As a direct disciple of the Taoist Saint, who has gone through countless eons of charity, how could he not know the miraculous power of the bodhi tree seed?
In Hui Shi's impression, the Bodhi tree appears twice.
The first person to encounter the Bodhi tree was the Buddha. At that time, the Buddha achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and then founded Buddhism. Through this, he reached the fourth realm of heaven and man.
The second person who met the Bodhi tree was a mysterious Taoist, known as the Bodhi Patriarch.
Although Patriarch Bodhi is not as amazing as Buddha, he has successfully broken through to the third realm of heaven and human beings. His cultivation level is superior to those of his peers. Many third realms of heaven and human beings from the three religions are no match for him.
It's just that Patriarch Bodhi was a short-lived person who disappeared without a trace shortly after he established the Taoist lineage.
It is said that the Buddha did not want to see the second him appear, so he secretly wiped out the Bodhi Patriarch.
Regardless of whether this rumor is true or false, the miraculousness of the bodhi tree is enough to drive a group of heavenly and human beings crazy about it.
The emergence of green buds from Bodhi seeds is a sign that the Bodhi tree will be born.
Lin Ze smiled slightly: "Senior Brother's tone of voice means that he is very familiar with this object. I wonder, in Senior Brother's opinion, does Junior Brother have a chance to advance to the third realm today with this object?"
Hui Shi said extremely calmly: "The thing in my hand is just a Bodhi tree sapling at best. You need to know that the sapling cannot help people realize the Tao."
"Buddhist scriptures record that the Bodhi tree that helped the Buddha attain enlightenment was four feet and nine feet tall. There are Taoist scriptures that record that the Bodhi tree acquired by the Patriarch Bodhi was seven feet and two inches tall."
"Junior brother, when he got this magical object, he should have cultivated it secretly and waited for the day when it would grow up, instead of hoarding it in the city like now, attracting people's prying eyes."
Lin Ze said disapprovingly: "How do you know that junior brother cannot cultivate this bodhi tree sapling into a big tree in a short period of time?"
Hui Shi's heart beat suddenly: "Junior brother, do you know how to accelerate cultivation?"
Lin Ze just smiled and did not answer. This was actually an accident.
In order to quickly improve his cultivation, Lin Ze took the initiative to go to sea to contact overseas Taoist branches. At the cost of providing the Heaven-reaching Pill, he obtained a large number of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, rare and foreign objects, and this Bodhi Seed was just one of them.
Although Bodhisattva came into Lin Ze's hands, it did not show any magical qualities for a long time.
Because it was easy to get and felt it was not simple, Lin Ze didn't spend much time studying it. He just regarded it as a mascot and kept it close to his body.
It was not until later that Hu Hai and Fu Men teamed up to try to get rid of Lin Ze. When the incident was revealed, Lin Ze was completely angered.
Lin Ze led his army south to attack mountains and temples, threatening to wipe out Buddhism from the world.
In order to calm Lin Ze's anger, Xuantang gave him a relic condensed from the Buddha in the second realm of heaven and human beings.
Lin Ze was surprised to find that Bodhizi actually took the initiative to absorb the energy of Buddhist relics and the great truth contained in them.
For some reason, Lin Ze did not stop the matter. Instead, he put the relic and the bodhi seed into the same jade box to see what changes would happen in the end.
After a while, Lin Ze suddenly remembered this incident. He opened the jade box and saw that there was only a trace of white ash left in the crystal clear relic, but green buds appeared on the Bodhi seed.
Out of fear of Dao Sheng and Zhuang Zhou, Lin Ze did not ask them, but secretly used the secret method of "Knowing the Destiny".
Through "Knowing the Destiny", Lin Ze learned that the bodhi tree has the power to help people realize enlightenment.
Lin Ze was so happy that he did not hesitate to spend several times his luck to figure out how to cultivate the bodhi tree.
Watering it with fragments of Heavenly Dao or the Great Dao can speed up the growth of the Bodhi tree and feed it back to your body to help you realize the Dao.
Lin Ze's face turned dark when he learned this result. He had extra fragments of Heaven's Dao. Wouldn't it be nice to use it to cultivate his own Dao seeds?
Why bother to water the Bodhi tree first and then use the Bodhi tree to speed up enlightenment?
Using the avenue to water it is even more nonsense. In Lin Ze's opinion, isn't it the same as cutting off the flesh from one's own body and cooking it for oneself?
So Lin Ze decisively gave up cultivating the bodhi tree and kept it with him as a mascot as before.
It wasn't until Emperor Qin told Lin Ze that it was very easy for those who were destined to enter the state of enlightenment. Surrounded by fragments of heaven, Emperor Qin could absorb luck through some secret method and advance to the third level of heaven as quickly as possible.
Combined with what Zhuang Zhou once mentioned, even the saints are afraid of the destiny of heaven and man in the third realm.
At that time, Lin Ze had thought that if he obtained the destiny, if he wanted to get rid of the control of the saint, there was only one way.
That is to advance to the third realm of heaven and humanity in the shortest possible time.
Lin Ze originally planned to slowly improve his cultivation to the peak of the second realm of heaven and human beings, and then act according to his own circumstances.
Unexpectedly, a destiny gathering shape suddenly appeared, completely disrupting Lin Ze's plan.
Lin Ze had two choices before him. One was to return to the Taoist Palace honestly and obey the Taoist Sage's instructions.
The second is to make a desperate move, follow the method given by Emperor Qin, sacrifice to heaven and claim to be the human emperor, obtain the destiny of heaven in advance, and create an established fact.
From Tao Sheng's consistent performance, Lin Ze concluded that Tao Sheng did not want to see the battle for destiny come to an end too early because it was not in the interests of Tao Sheng.
Lin Ze decisively chose the second option, and took this opportunity to advance to the third realm of heaven and human beings, gaining the slightest qualification to talk to Taoist saints on an equal footing.
In order to make his plan succeed, Lin Ze frequently used "Knowing the Destiny" during this period. Not only the luck swimming in the luck cloud, but also the luck in the golden book was almost consumed by him.
Fortunately, everything seemed to be going well.
The fragments of heaven in Lin Ze's mind, under his guidance, crazily poured into the Bodhi tree seedlings.
I saw the Bodhi tree seedlings growing crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Ze smiled and sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree.
