The first thousand three hundred and ninety-three chapters
The Kingdom of Jin is located in the middle of the continent of Xiuxian.
It is separated from the Great Zhou to the north by the Tongtian River, to the west and southwest by the Hengduan Mountains, to the east and in the middle of the Thirteen Dongyun Kingdoms is a narrow barren land, and to the south is a vast desert.
In the ancient times, the war between the Underworld and the Insects, the first war between the demons, and the rise of the Yiyuan Sect led to great changes in the vitality of heaven and earth. The vitality of heaven and earth in the middle of the land of Jin was gradually lost to the surrounding countries.
In this environment where spiritual energy was scarce, the immortal cultivators could only practice to the late stage of Qi refining, and most of them went to other immortal cultivating countries. Without the intervention of many immortal cultivators, Jin developed into a mortal dynasty.
Every two or three hundred years, large-scale wars will occur within this dynasty, and dynasties will change, entering one dynasty cycle after another.
…
On this day, somewhere in the barren land to the east of the Jin Kingdom, two monks were walking barefoot on the sandy ground. One of them was a fat monk with a kind-faced face, wearing a gold-rimmed cassock and spinning a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
The other monk looked to be in his twenties and quite handsome. The strong wind and sand blew on the loose monk robes, outlining the thick and strong muscle lines under the clothes.
They are Abbot Zhiyuan and Monk Huiming of Huatian Temple.
"Master, the Buddhist cultivators are so powerful after entering the realm of gods. Even the two seniors from Dongyun's hometown can't do anything to Master if they join forces." Huiming seemed to be immersed in a certain scene and said in a very excited tone.
Abbot Zhiyuan listened to his disciple's words, twirled the Buddha beads in his hand and said: "Fellow Daoist Cangfeng and Xue Xianzi were hindered by the vitality of the world, so they could only use the method of pseudo-god transformation to break through. The strength of the soul and the richness of the true essence are both higher than
The true early stage of becoming a god is much weaker."
"But if they can ascend to the upper world, with the help of pure and rich vitality, they may not be able to officially enter the early stage of spiritual transformation. When the time comes, their teachers will be no match for their combined efforts."
Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at the sky, clasped his hands and said, "Well done, Great Spirit King Buddha. My teacher's successful breakthrough is all due to the opportunity given by senior Great Spirit King Buddha."
"Under the illumination of the golden Buddha statue, the inner demons hidden deep in the heart were almost eliminated. Otherwise, even with the special demonic energy of the Broken Kingdom, it would be difficult to successfully condense the soul."
Speaking of this, he said worriedly: "I don't know how far the war in the upper world has reached. Without Senior Great Spirit King Buddha, the human race has lost a strong man, and the situation may be even more difficult."
When Huiming heard this, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he chanted the Buddha's name and fell into some kind of soul resonance. He clenched his fists and said: "One hundred and ten years have passed since the death of the Great Spirit King Buddha, but for the upper world
, and it’s only one year.”
"Master, you also said that there are at least three practitioners in the human race. They can definitely sustain it in such a short period of time. Maybe the news of the death of senior Great Spirit King Buddha has not spread yet."
"When Pavilion Master Lu, Master, and several senior Transformation Gods ascend to the upper realm to support us, they will be able to fill the vacancy left by Senior Great Spirit King Buddha."
Zhiyuan's fingers fiddling with the beads slowly stopped, he frowned slightly and said: "I don't know why, after I entered the state of spiritual transformation, every time I recalled the short-lived golden Buddha statue of the Great Spirit King Buddha, there was always something strange.
It feels like this senior wants to convey some message to the lower world."
"Convey the message?" Huiming said in surprise.
Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "This is also a guess, but I have a premonition that the death of senior Great Spirit King Buddha does not seem to be as simple as a failure to break through."
"Have you had a premonition? Master, you said you wanted to bring me to Jin, and that's what you said." Huiming muttered.
Hearing this, Zhiyuan calmed down the thoughts in his mind, looked at the young monk with kind eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a premonition that my trip to the mortal realm can help you find a way to break through to the eighth level of your physical body."
Huiming showed a look of distress: "Master, the physical body's breakthrough is extremely risky. With the Buddhist magic power in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, there is no way to completely suppress the qi and blood magic power at the peak of Dan Formation."
"Even if a disciple reaches the late stage of Nascent Soul, the magic power cannot penetrate deep into the bones and internal organs, and there is no way to guarantee that the physical body will not be devoured..."
Abbot Zhiyuan said: "So at this time, put aside your physical cultivation and go to the secular world to walk around. You will definitely enter the Nascent Soul stage in the future. You can practice compassion first."
"This kind of cultivation of will requires understanding the seven emotions and six desires in the secular world, constantly using Buddhism to save all living beings, so that those mortals in pain can escape from the sea of suffering, and resonate spiritually with all living beings, so as to understand the essence of Buddhism and practice compassion.
meaning."
Huiming patted his strong chest and said, "Master, don't worry, this disciple will definitely be able to enter the state of spiritual transformation and reach the state of master."
When he said this, he was a little excited and said: "If a disciple enters the realm of spiritual transformation, should he change his dharma name to the Buddha's name and call him Wisdom King Buddha?"
The old monk chuckled and said: "If a Buddhist monk enters the state of spiritual transformation, he will be named after the second character of the name, which is the name of the master's name, Zhiyuan. Therefore, the name of the Buddha after the soul is condensed is Yuanwang Buddha."
Huiming smacked his lips and said, "Then the disciple's future Buddha name will be called Ming Wang Buddha. It doesn't sound like Master's artistic conception."
Upon hearing this, Abbot Zhiyuan couldn't help but stretch out his palm, hit the young monk on the head, and scolded with a smile: "Huan Ming Wang Buddha, if you want to understand the meaning of compassion, it is much more difficult than other Buddhist practices. Think first.
Let’s talk about how to get through the hurdle of will.”
"If you have compassion, you should be able to completely suppress the energy and blood magic."
Huiming covered his forehead with his hands and shrank his neck, looking like he was in pain. He rolled his eyes and said:
"But Master, I heard you say that the method of comprehending the will in the Body Refining Pavilion is different from that of traditional immortal cultivators. The master of the Pavilion Lu has integrated the two wills. Can the method of dual cultivation of body and law practiced by the disciples be used for reference in comprehending the will?
Dharma door?”
"Or should we combine the intention of compassion with the will to cultivate the body?"
Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "I have communicated with Pavilion Master Lu more than ten years ago. Physical cultivation relies on special physical source power to interact with various energies deep in the ground, so as to understand the will of the five elements of heaven and earth."
"Your method of cultivating both body and law is different. You can't cultivate the source power of the physical body, so you can't use this method."
Huiming said unwillingly: "Then how did Lord Lu's will be integrated? Dual cultivation of law and body should be able to combine the advantages of law and body. Otherwise, what is the use of having a strong physical body?"
He said with hopeful eyes: "Master, could you please allow me to pay my respects to the Lord of Pavilion Xialu? He founded the body refining lineage, and maybe he can solve this problem."
Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Whether it is physical cultivation or legal cultivation, the cultivation process is step-by-step, and the dual cultivation of legal and physical cultivation should be the same. Your current magical cultivation has not yet reached the advanced stage, and your physical body is only at the peak of the seventh level. How can you be so ambitious?"
As he spoke, a peaceful and calm aura came out of his body. Huiming seemed to be affected, and the desire to explore in his heart was suppressed. He lowered his head and said with a sigh: "Disciple, I know I was wrong."
Zhiyuan put away the power of his soul and sighed softly: "You don't know something. Pavilion Master Lu is repulsed by the power of the interface. He will have to ascend to the upper realm after staying for another fifty years at most. The Body Refining Pavilion is facing a crisis."
"Except for Fellow Daoist Hong, there are no new Zangyuan stage physical cultivators in the Refining Pavilion. I heard that Pan Yan has successfully understood the will and has the possibility of a successful breakthrough, but Fellow Daoist Huang Xiaoyun has not yet understood the power of will."
"Physical cultivation is different from legal cultivation. It is impossible to forcibly integrate the remaining will of the predecessors. Therefore, Pavilion Master Lu's current energy is entirely focused on the breakthrough of his disciples. We must not disturb him easily."
Huiming said solemnly: "Disciple understands..."
Seeing this, Abbot Zhiyuan sighed in his heart.
His disciple's ideas are really different from ordinary people, and he often aims too high, but this boy's talent is very terrifying, and his cultivation speed is very fast. At the age of about three hundred years, not only has he entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but his physical body has also been cultivated to a level comparable to the peak of Bone Treasure.
Levels of physical training.
Such a talented disciple, even if Zhiyuan is a Buddhist cultivator in the early stage of becoming a god, still feels a headache. What he is most worried about now is Huiming's reckless attack on the bottleneck of the physical body.
If the breakthrough of the energy and blood magic power at this stage fails, the physical body will be swallowed up and turned into a pool of blood, and the spirit and form will be destroyed. Zhiyuan is reluctant to let Huiming take risks easily.
Therefore, he wanted this disciple to enter the secular world and practice compassion in advance. According to Pavilion Master Lu's judgment, if the will is successfully cultivated, its effect on the energy, blood and magic power will be similar to that of Blood Ming Nian, and the chance of physical breakthrough will be greatly increased.

"Speed up the pace, there are mortals living in this barren land, we have to visit every village..."
"Yes, Master."
The figures of the two monks gradually disappeared into the increasingly dense wind and sand...
