He accepted the explanation.
The Secret Realm, the Temple of No Form for All Beings.
On the high platform, Sangji, holding a ritual knife, was presiding over the "sky burial" ceremony.
"The World Honored One above—I have fully understood the realm of the Great Dharma King."
His movements were devout and precise as he cut off pieces of flesh and blood, offering them to the great demons to devour.
A blanket of darkness descended, yet countless [female earth spirits] shone with radiance.
On the earth, the soil from the accumulated corpses gathered and rose up, turning into small hills.
pat!
In the surrounding darkness, the sound of flapping wings could be heard from nowhere, and they transformed into bats, circling and dancing around the high platform.
Sangji clasped his hands together, his face filled with sorrow, as pieces of flesh fell and rotted from his face.
In that instant, he, the abbot of the Wuxiang Temple, seemed to have turned into a corpse.
It is a supernatural power—the terror of death!
This supernatural power allows cultivators to live as if they were dead, to be close to ghosts, spirits, the netherworld, and darkness, and to avoid being devoured by the great terrors.
After Sangji mastered the "Cleansing of Worldly Ties" technique, he was taught by Fang Qing, which is the most orthodox practice of the "Death Fear Appearance".
Later, he received Fang Qing's empowerment, which was equivalent to experiencing the feeling of refining three or even four supernatural powers in advance.
Having had this experience, one will naturally find it easy to practice the fear of death.
With the help of the accumulated Taoist essence of the Wuxiang Temple and even the "sky burial" ceremony, he finally mastered the third supernatural power and became a great Dharma King in the late Purple Mansion stage!
When Sangji looked inward, he saw that within his Purple Mansion, the three supernatural powers of "White Bone Contemplation," "Cleansing Dust," and "Death Fear Appearance" converged, forming a triangular shape that was extremely stable.
She gained the attention of the Earth element in the female palace and was promoted in rank.
From then on, he was a Great True Person in the Immortal Path, capable of easily destroying True Persons in the early stages of the Purple Mansion realm.
"A letter from the Abbot—from the Great Snow Mountain!"
Just then, a servant monk cautiously stepped forward and handed over a gold-embossed letter.
This book is as heavy as a stone, clearly written by a supernatural being. Its surface has sun-shaped patterns and shines with golden light.
"King Vairocana?"
Sangji sensed something slightly, his expression changed slightly, and after taking the book and opening it, he saw several lines of secret text.
"Hmm? All this information is about Sanmu?"
Sangji was somewhat confused, but he sensed that the only secret in his heart had stirred. Knowing that the Venerable One wanted to see it, he immediately began to carefully peruse it.
"Outer Sea — Master Sanmu achieved the Four Arts, but was pursued by Grand Master Yaoyue — The two chased each other in the Void for several days, causing many natural disasters along the way —"
"The Great Immortal Demon Moon—this person has gone mad since the fall of the Women's Kingdom, he should be eliminated—"
Sangji thought for a moment, then continued reading: "Sanmu escaped into a dangerous place"—Shenyue Sea, and disappeared without a trace—the Great Master Yaoyue did not continue the pursuit—Shenyue Sea?"
He recalled a scripture he had previously consulted, which described the geography of the four directions.
"This Sunken Moon Sea is a dangerous place. It is said that the higher the level of cultivation, the more likely one is to encounter calamity when entering it—it is suspected to be the place where a certain ancient True Monarch perished, but there are some examples of lower-level cultivators who have mistakenly entered it and escaped by chance."
"Entering this realm using the four levels of the Scattered Wood Method would likely result in a near-certain death."
Of course, this is just Sangji's opinion.
In Fang Qing's view, Sanmu was now like a dragon returning to the sea, just waiting to soar into the sky.
Qi Refining Channel.
Blood Fiend Island, inside the cave.
Fang Qing sat cross-legged, a thoughtful expression on his face: "The information from the Great Snow Mountain indicates they want me to take action."
.
"However, the matter of scattering wood to seek gold has already been decided. So, who do I need to take action against? Could it be the Great Immortal Yaoyue? Uh—if we're just talking about investigating, below the True Lord, I'm probably the only one left."
97
The reason for this is naturally that his "Plum Blossom Divination" is powerful enough.
Especially after triggering the blessing of the "Dao Sheng Zhu" status, even immortals and envoys might not be able to surpass him now.
It can be said that he is second only to the True Lord!
"If I were to hunt down Grandmaster Demon Moon, then what would follow would be—"
Fang Qing turned his gaze to the secret realm of the Qi Cultivation Dao.
It would be easy for him to hunt down Master Yaoyue, since he had fought with Master Yaoyue before and left behind a karmic debt.
Meanwhile, outside the Wuxiang Temple in the Secret Realm.
A figure emerged from the misty void.
He was dressed simply, wearing a blue Taoist robe, his two white, ivory-like thighs were faintly visible, and a wooden sword was at his waist.
It was none other than True Person Suqing!
"The Temple of No Form for All Beings—this is it."
Su Qing has traveled to secret regions and practiced supernatural powers by taking elixirs in recent years, but her cultivation has not progressed by leaps and bounds.
She visited various temples, discussed Buddhist teachings and doctrines, and found great enjoyment in it, even subtly changing her views on esoteric Buddhism.
This time, I came here because I had a feeling and wanted to visit the Temple of No Forms of All Beings.
This Wuxiang Temple of All Beings is said to be the origin of all dharmas, possessing profound teachings that directly point to the Buddha—even its mere branch, the White Bone Path, has built a great empire in Shu, and still stands in confrontation with the Yin Corpse Sect in Xituo County today—
Master Suqing, radiant with vitality, used his supernatural powers to knock on the temple gate: "Master Suqing has come to pay a visit—"
The temple gate creaked open, and a monk came out to greet you: "So it's Master Suqing. Please come inside and we'll serve you tea—"
""
"Um?
""
Master Suqing glanced at the monk and was immediately shocked: A monk! A monk comparable to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm! I wonder which high-ranking monk with the "Refining Realm Certificate" he is?
Over the years, she has also gained a deep understanding of the Taoist tradition of the Great Snow Mountain.
Those who possess the "certificate of attainment through refinement" not only have no master or Dharma king to restrain them, but also have a very long lifespan.
Even before passing away, they can leave behind prophecies, instructing people to find their reincarnated child and then reopen the certificate of succession!
How terrifying would one's accumulated cultivation be if one reincarnated life after life?
Furthermore, the larger the temple, the more "certificates of rank" it possesses—the Great Snow Mountain lineage is truly terrifying.
While Su Qing was in a daze, she was brought in front of Sangji.
"Greetings, Great Dharma King!"
Upon seeing the three supernatural powers behind Sangji, Suqing dared not be negligent and quickly bowed.
He thought to himself: "I heard in the secret realm that this White Bone Dharma King took office in a time of crisis, and his cultivation level is only equivalent to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm in the Immortal Path. Although the 'Buddha incarnate' is present, the Dharma lineage will not decline, but it will inevitably lead to a great reduction in the prestige of the Wuxiang Temple of All Beings."
Unexpectedly, the rumors were untrue. This abbot has visited various temples over the years, debating scriptures and doctrines, earning a great reputation—and now, having attained the three Dharmas, he can be called a Great Dharma King, and is already qualified to lead a powerful Dharma lineage.
Wait—why did I suddenly decide to come here?
"Fellow Daoist, please have some tea!"
Sangji put his hands together in prayer, and a servant naturally brought him butter tea.
Su Qing took a sip and began discussing the differences between Taoist and Brahma teachings with Sangji. She gradually became engrossed and was awestruck by the profoundness of Sangji's Brahma teachings.
"I cultivate the [Horn Wood] element, but I never imagined that the Great Dharma King, though cultivating the Earth element, would have such profound insights into the Wood element —"
Su Qing was sincerely convinced.
"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, mist, and lightning; thus should they be viewed."
Sangji, or rather, Fang Qing, who was already controlling Sangji, shook his head and smiled, "Does the benefactor have doubts about visiting our temple?"
"Exactly—"
Su Qing sighed, "I have a top-notch elixir to help me, but my supernatural powers are still not fully developed—I have something on my mind."
"I'm afraid it's not an obstacle, but a demon! An external demon!"
Fang Qing glared fiercely and shouted, "Benefactor, there is a demon in your heart. If you do not remove it, I fear you will never achieve supernatural powers again!"
"Hmm? What kind of demon is it?" Su Qing couldn't help but shudder.
"The demon is caused by karma—you have formed a karmic bond with a great master, causing you inner turmoil and hindering your supernatural abilities."
Fang Qingdao.
"really----"
Su Qing Zhenren seemed to be deep in thought; that Demon Moon Grandmaster had indeed left her with a terrifying impression.
Even now, I still feel somewhat resentful about it.
She swallowed the "Great Chun Pill," but felt that her cultivation of the "Great Chun Wonderful Court Technique" was slow. She had not even been able to complete the foundation of her Dao, let alone master the "Spirit Chun Crossing" supernatural power. Perhaps this was the reason.
"How can we save them?"
Master Suqing then asked for further instruction.
"My secret methods, when encountering external demons, naturally require either subduing or slaying them—"
Fang Qing clasped his hands together and smiled, "Since Grand Master Yaoyue has already pursued you, wouldn't it be perfect if you went and pursued her again?"
"Me—hunting down a Grandmaster?"
Even though Su Qing didn't know that the Great Master Yaoyue had already mastered all four techniques, she still thought Sangji was joking.
She's just a mere early-stage Purple Mansion cultivator, how dare she fight a late-stage Purple Mansion Grandmaster?
Furthermore, the opponent is from the Yin Dao sect, while our own sect is only from the Wood Dao sect, so we are naturally at a disadvantage!
"Since you have entered this temple, you must have a connection with Buddha. This humble monk is willing to lend you a helping hand."
Fang Qing chuckled.
Although he had a karmic connection with the Great Master Yaoyue, things became somewhat unpredictable after he possessed her.
But it doesn't matter, there is also a Suqing Zhenren next to us, who can also be used as a human-shaped divination tool!
The message from the Great Snow Mountain—it must be to send me to hunt down Yao Yue, and then I'll take the opportunity to strike with this sword, right?
After all, Sanmu might seek gold to prove his Dao at any time, so Suqing Zhenren's sword must be kept by Fang Qing's side!
Perhaps, by using this as an attraction, that Great Master Yaoyue might take the initiative to jump out!
In other words, Su Qing Zhenren could also be used as bait!
Alas—he was once a Purple Mansion True Person, and even obtained the medicine for reincarnation. How did he end up like this?
Fang Qing sighed inwardly, realizing that this was the biggest pitfall of the Dao of Qi Conversion, and even reincarnation was useless!
If you have no one behind you, you're destined to be a pawn for life!
"The Great Dharma King is joking—"
Su Qing felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively tried to get up and leave.
But Sangji just smiled slightly, put his hands together, and six bone beads appeared behind him. His face was covered with a white bone mask, and his eyes instantly turned a dim yellow color, like two yellow gemstones.
A terrifying aura of female earth descended, and the accompanying difference in rank made Su Qing wish she could kneel down immediately: "Greetings—Greetings, Buddha! I was unaware that the Buddha was here; I have offended you!"
"Since we are bound by fate, please join this humble monk."
Fang Qing stood up, casually drew his white bone staff, and said calmly, "Otherwise, it wouldn't look good for this humble monk to forcibly invite you!"
