Shen Gongbao Great Sage Persuading Death Immortal

Chapter 346 How to achieve enlightenment and practice the ultimate secret

"King Ashura."

Shen Gongbao had an idea and thought to himself that he had to go to the underworld. Now that the connection with Kunlun Mountain was cut off, the gods and humans of the Shengong Kingdom could do odd jobs, but they were not very useful. It would be a good thing if he could recruit a lineage of Asura as the base of the team.

However, Shen Gongbao hesitated and asked, "The Blood Sea is the territory of the Styx Patriarch. I have no friendship with this Patriarch. How could he let me become the Asura King?"

"Don't worry about this. You don't have any friendship. I have a life-and-death friendship with the Dark River Demon Ancestor, and we are brothers who stick together through thick and thin." Demon Ancestor Luohou smiled and said, "When I was a novice monk under the Buddha's seat, I first entered Buddhism and became Tathagata. I became a Buddha in one thought and a demon in another. I fell into the sea of ​​blood and became the Great Asura King. Then I washed myself and came ashore. I turned to the way of the gods and became the Nine Star Lord. I was certified as a great supernatural being. After going through countless epochs, I finally got the position of the Demon Ancestor today."

"I teach you the way of the eight consciousnesses and four wisdoms, and I recommend you to join the 1,250-member assembly in the Solitary Garden. Only by doing so can you fall into the devil's way and gain a deep foundation in the devil's way."

"The assembly of 1,250 people at the Jetavana Grove?" Shen Gongbao seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, "I once heard that the Buddha was in the Jetavana Grove in the country of Savatthi, preaching to the great bhikkhus. I wonder what the etiquette is for entering the assembly."

"That's a huge difference." Demon Ancestor Luohou laughed loudly, and then said meaningfully: "Only by entering this lonely garden and ranking among the 1,250 people in the conference, can you be qualified to write a sentence "Thus I have heard" and no longer be a heretic."

With a buzzing sound, Shen Gongbao's eyes lit up instantly, and his heart of Tao began to beat.

Thus have I heard, what is Thus have I heard?!
This means that I personally receive the teachings of the Buddha, and preach the sutras, explain the teachings, and demonstrate the Dharma on behalf of Sakyamuni.

Only with these four words can one annotate Buddhist scriptures, establish a school of thought within Buddhism, possess legitimacy, and no longer be a heterodox ghost or god.

In other words, Shen Gongbao could also set up a branch in Buddhism, recruit soldiers and horses, and have the right to inherit the Lingshan Leiyin Temple. What if one day the 1,250 Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas on Lingshan Mountain unfortunately died?

Then, Shen Gongbao, who is the 1,251st heir, may be able to transform himself, ascend to Lingshan, sit on the lotus platform, and attain Buddhahood.

"The Demon Ancestor has been so kind to me that I have no way to repay him." Although Shen Gongbao was happy, he became more vigilant.

After going through so many things, he has long understood one truth.

There is no free lunch in the world, and all the gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

The Demon Ancestor was taking precautions one by one, fearing that a big trap was waiting for him.

"I have always been a good person." The Demon Ancestor said seriously.

Shen Gongbao almost laughed out loud. The Demon Ancestor was a good man. This cold joke was really not funny.

"What do you mean?" The Demon Ancestor glanced at him and said in a bad tone.

"It's okay. I'm just very happy to think about that I have cultivated the Great Mirror Wisdom." Shen Gongbao restrained his smile and said with a serious face. A round of light appeared behind his head. It was transformed from the eighth consciousness, Alaya consciousness, and symbolized the wisdom of understanding the truth of all dharmas. It illuminates the reality of all dharmas in the universe like a big round mirror without a trace of stain.

Therefore, it is called Great Mirror Wisdom.

Unlike immortal light, merit, and divine brilliance, which can be deprived, destroyed, and robbed, this is the light of wisdom. As long as Shen Gongbao's true spirit is still there, it will always exist. Even if he becomes a mortal, his practice will still be real and true, and it cannot be erased even at the end of the world.

"Haha." The Demon Ancestor snorted coldly, but he was using Shen Gongbao and it was difficult to punish him. He just said: "You will know the consequences of karma in the future."

"Now that you have cultivated the Great Mirror Wisdom, opened the Alaya Consciousness, and retrieved the memories of past lives, I think you don't need me to teach you how to go back to the past era."

The Golden Immortal can manipulate time subtly, and Taiyi can radiate the past, present and future of a timeline. However, if one wants to go back to before the creation of the world and go to the past era, only Daluo can do it.

"Clear, clear."

Shen Gongbao nodded. He had already found the secret of Daluo and the key to enlightenment from the vast sea of ​​memories.

How to attain Daluo and transform finite life forms into infinite high-dimensional creatures.

This has always been a problem that has troubled countless living beings in the heavens and worlds.

After an immeasurable calamity, there are only a few living beings who can attain Daluo. Even in the most glorious era, the number of newly born Daluo would not exceed dozens of figures.

But, for Shen Bao, who was Shen Gongbao in the past and will be Disaster Daluo in the future, everything is not difficult.

The key to the problem lies in the key issue.

The puzzle lies in the riddle: why can living beings attain enlightenment? The reason lies in their true spirit!
One of the characteristics of Daluo is to create something out of nothing and to establish the world.

However, the true spirits of all living beings in the ancient world originated from Pangu. They were the product of Pangu's breaking of chaos. They were created out of nothing and were originally part of Daluo!

It is precisely for this reason that the probability of the creatures in the Honghuang main heaven achieving the Daluo realm is slightly higher than that of the creatures in all the heavens and worlds, and even in countless timelines and parallel universes.

This is because only Pangu was fearless and virtuous, willing to transform himself into all things, and his true spirit evolved into billions of races. The other creators of the universe opened up the multiverse, but only used it as a place of practice, riding on the heads of all living beings and acting tyrannically, calling themselves ancestors, but they did not sacrifice their current lives. Naturally, the lives in their universes did not have true spirits transformed from the fragments of Daluo.

Only when you see through this point, only when you realize that you are Daluo and Pangu, can you be said to have embarked on the path to Daluo.

The first person in history to discover this problem and solve it was Taishang Daozu, who opened up an unprecedented path.

But this is just the first step.

Because realizing that you are Pangu is not enough. If you just strengthen your true spirit and pursue Pangu's legacy, you will inevitably become Pangu's incarnation, or the resurrected body of Pangu, the creator of the world.

The final outcome will be to become an innate ancient god born in accordance with the Tao.

In view of this, the Buddha proposed that nature is empty, and that one should kill the self and realize the true self.

All appearances are illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata.

This is the way of true reality, to annihilate the Pangu self, to discard all the great ways of the past, and only retain the ability of the true spirit to create something out of nothing, thereby creating a new true self.

In this way, the influence of Pangu is avoided and the characteristics of Daluo are preserved, killing two birds with one stone.

The next step is to strengthen the true self and use the Daluo characteristics to project the true self to the heavens and the multiverse. It is no longer limited to space, but I am in every timeline and every time node.

In ancient times, this state was called Taiyi Golden Immortal, Half-Step Daluo.

It was originally the most orthodox method of cultivation in the ancient era. The first to achieve the Tao is called Taiyi Sanxian, the perfect Tao is called Taiyi Zhenxian, the sacred Taiyi is called Taiyi Xuanxian, and the one who lives forever is called Taiyi Jinxian.

However, since many Golden Immortals, after killing their own selves and creating new selves, continue to practice the Xuanmen Avenue, the Creation Avenue... and many other avenues.

Although he got rid of the influence of Pangu, he was still influenced by Wahuang, Sanqing, Fuxi, Tiandi... and other religious leaders.

From the incarnation of Pangu, he became the incarnation of various religious leaders.

The only thing to be thankful for is that, unlike Pangu, the other sect leaders care for their disciples and will not directly refine them into Daluo-level incarnations. Instead, they will treat them as innate spiritual treasures and place them on the Treasure-Finance Cliff, waiting for the day when the lost Daluo will revive.

There are many ways to crack Dao Ran. Some rely on talent, some rely on Dao heart, some rely on killing the three corpses, and some rely on cheating.

However, Shen Gongbao's method of breaking through Dao Ran and maintaining independence is to create the law!

He founded the Tribulation Immortal system, and instead of practicing the Three Pure Ones or comprehending the Great Divine Way, he established the Three Disasters and Nine Tribulations, the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, the Ten Tribulations of Taiyi, and the Tribulation of Transformation, to establish his identity as the Tribulation Ancestor.

In the past, he still had connections with Xuanmen, but then Yuxu Palace expelled him from the immortal list, cutting off his last connection with Daluotian.

From then on, he had no worries and was no longer bound, leaving the earth clean and white.

"Golden Immortal Daoist Lord, Taiyi Daoist Lord, the next Daluo realm should be Daluo Daozu!"

"Killing the ego, strengthening the true self, creating laws and establishing the way, are all acts of creating something out of nothing!"

"This is the path to Daluo, this is my path!"

Shen Gongbao shouted with absolute certainty, his eyes were extremely determined, and a round mirror wisdom in his mind shone brightly, the light actually broke through Guixu, illuminated the void, and annihilated the power of the end.

Amid the horrified, envious, jealous and hateful gazes of countless creators of the universe in Guixu, he ascended to heaven in one step, stepped out of Guixu, and his self-nature became perfect, illuminating the Three Thousand Worlds, penetrating the past, future and present, reversing time and space, reversing cause and effect, and seeing the true origin.

The round light behind the head flickered slightly, revealing all colors and images. It was able to manifest and generate all realms of wisdom. It was the basis of all dharmakaya and pure lands, and it was able to uphold all the merits of the Buddhas.

Tracing back to the source, there is the sound of Zen, the swaying of Bodhi, and the Buddha is seen in the Jetavana Grove in the country of Savatthi, with 1,250 great bhikkhus.

At that time, the Buddha, at mealtime, put on his robes and took his bowl, and went into the great city of Savatthi to beg for food. After begging in the city, he returned to his place, ate, put away his robes and bowl, washed his feet, and sat down on a seat.

Shen Gongbao smiled slightly. He could have eight consciousnesses and four wisdoms, could transform into the supreme demon, and had many interesting magical powers. He was called the original demon. He rolled up a billowing black smoke, and the demonic energy was arrogant, and he went straight to the lonely garden.
