Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant
#840 - Soul Search
Within the boundaries.
Wang Ba's eyes flickered crimson. The monk opposite him looked dazed, with a faint crimson glow in his eyes.
But there was a hint of struggle on his face.
He seemed to have sensed Wang Ba's intrusion into his consciousness and tried his best to resist...
On the other side, Wang Ba's eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat surprised:
"How can a Luohan be able to stop it?"
He was surprised that even with the rules of a great world and his spiritual power, he still couldn't completely influence the other party.
With a thought in his mind, his soul passed through his body and suddenly penetrated into the monk's forehead.
At first he felt like he was entering a quagmire, full of resistance, but with just a slight effort he successfully broke into the monk's spiritual sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness is vast and boundless.
But at this moment, half of the sea of consciousness was bright red like a sea of blood, and half was bright golden like the Buddha's light.
At the junction of the two, there was only a naked monk sitting cross-legged alone. His face, divided by the bridge of his nose, was half crimson and half golden, which sometimes changed.
Mysterious golden patterns could be vaguely seen covering the monk's body, twisting continuously on his torso, as if penetrating into his flesh and bones.
It is these mysterious golden patterns that prevent it from being eroded by the power of the Yin God.
"Is this the thing that affected his mind?"
Wang Ba couldn't help but think of those cultivators who had reincarnated into the six realms before and whose temperaments changed drastically after soaking in the water of the six realms pools.
I couldn't help but frown slightly.
These golden patterns were also found on the bodies of those monks and in the body of the black rhinoceros obtained from Bodhisattva Zhizhen.
If his guess was correct, these mysterious golden patterns were the means by which the Supreme Buddha controlled the monks under his command.
It was also because of these mysterious golden patterns that even though he was now much stronger than the monk in front of him, and with the power of Xiaocangjie's Yin Shen, he was unable to completely influence the other party.
After a moment of silence, he didn't hesitate and raised his hand to pat the monk on the head, performing the 'Soul Searching Technique'.
In an instant, the entire sea of consciousness shook silently!
Then cracks quickly appeared, and outside the cracks, it seemed that an unstoppable huge force was invading.
In the cracks, faint golden chains can be seen. They look thin, but they completely block the tremendous power.
This result seemed to have angered the great power. The next moment, the entire sea of consciousness space began to shake violently, and countless cracks appeared around it, as if it was about to collapse...
A look of pain appeared on the monk's face, and the flesh and blood on his body quickly turned into pus, revealing clearer mysterious golden lines, which looked like living things swimming on the white bones.
Wang Ba's face looked slightly gloomy.
Everything that happened before his eyes was naturally not real. It was just a strange phenomenon that appeared in the monk's sea of consciousness after his soul was searched.
Even the monk in front of him was just a manifestation of his consciousness in his sea of consciousness.
It doesn't matter.
The important thing is that this time, he clearly felt the mysterious golden patterns in the monk's body, blocking his exploration of the monk's consciousness.
Of course, he could continue to increase the intensity of the soul search, but what awaited him was the collapse of the entire sea of consciousness space, which also meant that the other party's consciousness was completely destroyed, and the other party would become a living dead.
This was definitely not what he wanted.
So even though his face was as gloomy as water, he finally slowly withdrew his hand.
As he withdrew his hand.
The pain on the monk's face slowly disappeared, and his flesh and blood silently recondensed.
The cracks in the sea of consciousness quickly healed, and the golden chains disappeared along with them.
Only on the monks' bodies can one still see the mysterious golden patterns moving.
The golden light and the deep red light were clearly separated, dividing the monk and the entire sea of consciousness into two halves.
"I don't believe it!"
A cold light flashed in Wang Ba's eyes.
The next moment, the hand stretched out again and covered the monk's head!
The monk looked pained again.
The flesh that had just healed fell off again, and the space in the sea of consciousness also cracked into countless cracks again...
In these gaps, one can vaguely see golden chains crisscrossing each other, blocking all forces outside the sea of consciousness.
Just as the golden chain was fighting against the power of soul searching.
Wang Ba stared at the monk in front of him who was in great pain, and a deep red light shone brightly in his eyes!
On the monk's face, the crimson light finally crossed over one side of his nose and gradually spread to the other side where the golden light should have been...
The power of the Yin God and the soul-searching method are moving forward hand in hand at this moment!
Although the golden chain was impenetrable, at this moment, a tiny hole appeared.
The monk's eyes lit up bright red at the same time!
Although it was only a fleeting moment and he quickly resumed his struggle, how could Wang Ba, who had been staring at him the entire time, miss such an opportunity and met his eyes.
In an instant, only a tiny corner of the monk's consciousness was released.
"The most important thing in Qi training is perseverance..."
"Father, don't worry. One day, I will definitely revive my Ling Dynasty!"
"...Is there anyone in this world who can be my opponent?"
"The Supreme Buddha is here? No! I would rather die than become a disciple of this evil monk..."
"If one wishes to know all the Buddhas of the past, present and future, one should contemplate the nature of the Dharma Realm. Everything is created by the mind alone... There is neither good nor bad in the Dharma Realm... All dharmas arise from causes and conditions, and all dharmas cease from causes and conditions. The Buddha says that all dharmas arising and ceasing from causes and conditions are empty..."
"Buddhas and ordinary people are all made of the six elements: earth, water, fire, wind, space, and consciousness... There is no difference between sentient beings and Buddhas..."
"The Supreme Buddha, the layman is attached to appearances..."
Wang Ba stood in front of the monk, slowly withdrew his hand, and frowned slightly.
The power of the Yin God and the soul-searching method were used together, but only made the monk reveal a small amount of information.
Most of them are unforgettable scenes in the monk's memory, such as the first time practicing, the conversation with his father, and the climb to the top of his realm.
There are very few things related to the Supreme Buddha.
Even what the Buddha Lord Tianshang looked like and what he was good at were not revealed.
Most of the leaked parts were not much different from what he knew before.
However, he did learn some information that he had not known before, such as the three major realms of the Supreme Buddha.
In addition to the seated Buddha that fought in the great war with the Yuntian Realm and the reclining Buddha guarding the exit of the Sea of Chaos, there is also a standing Buddha.
These three Buddhas represent the three Dharma realms, and each is guarded by a great Bodhisattva.
It’s just that the standing Buddha is still in another distant place and has not arrived before.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
"Is it because of your low status?"
Wang Ba's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
Arhats are equivalent to monks who have transcended tribulation. Their status is certainly not low, but when it comes to some secrets within the Supreme Buddha, it is obvious that what they know are only peripheral information.
This is of little help to Wang Ba in his quest to find out the details of the Supreme Buddha.
The only unexpected gain was that he received a fragment of Buddhist scriptures from the monk.
It is called "The Great Heart Sutra of Bliss".
Not only is the content incomplete, it also seems to be content related to low-level practice.
"It's like trying to plant flowers but they don't bloom, but planting willows by accident will grow into a shade."
Wang Ba pondered for a moment, then attacked again, using the power of the Yin God and the soul-searching technique at the same time. The monk in front of him struggled in pain again.
However, the mysterious golden pattern was quite peculiar, as if Wang Ba had summed up his experience after the failure last time. Although he succeeded again this time, the time that the monk was controlled by the power of the Yin God was obviously shortened.
Correspondingly, the leaked content is obviously much less.
There is still very little information related to the Supreme Buddha, but there are a few more sentences than the content of the "Great Paradise Heart Sutra", and there is also an additional method of practicing the Buddhist supernatural power "Divine Foot Power", but it is also incomplete.
This divine power of walking on water is obviously different from the 'divine power of walking on water' that Wang Ba had encountered before in the Xiaocang Realm, because it involves the application of rules, and those rules are not the rules of ordinary practice of cultivators, but the combination of the six major elements of earth, fire, water, wind, space and consciousness.
At this moment, Wang Ba suddenly woke up!
"I see!"
"The most basic rules that the monks comprehend are the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the 'Tao' and the 'existence'. All things come from the void and give birth to infinity. This is one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things... But the rules that the Supreme True Buddha comprehends are the 'six elements', 'emptiness' and 'nothingness', that is, the so-called 'suffering, accumulation, extinction, Tao' and 'the four elements are all empty'!"
"The two are fundamentally not the same thing!"
So when he first came into contact with Zhifa Luohan, he was unable to understand his so-called "cause and effect" rules.
This is because although the cultivators acknowledge the cause and effect, and believe in the laws of nature and retribution, there is no concept of cause and effect in the rules they comprehend.
This is because heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs. They are not partial or biased, and they do not neglect any particular thing. Only the rules flow, and only the Tao is eternal.
On the contrary, in Buddhism, because everything is empty, the Dharmadhatu formed by the four elements is all created by "consciousness", which was originally created by the human mind, but can form cause and effect.
"My initial thought was correct. These are two completely different cultivation systems."
"The difference is so great that it is even greater than the gap between the True Martial Dao and cultivators."
"If... I can comprehend the 'Six Great Principles' of the Supreme Buddha, can I unlock the mysterious golden patterns on these monks' bodies?"
Wang Ba's eyes lit up slightly.
He vaguely felt that this mysterious golden pattern might also be related to the 'Six Major Rules'.
Then he thought of more.
"Xianrenguan!"
"Are those rules of the Immortal Pass that I don't understand also derived from the six major rules?"
"If I understand the six major rules, can I break through the Immortal Pass?"
"Also... Tiber's Tongyou Liuzhu Staff just happens to correspond to the six elements of earth, fire, water, wind, space, and consciousness. Does it have any special meaning?"
"However, if this Supreme Buddha is Tiber, why is it that none of his Tongyou Liuzhu Staff is in the hands of this Supreme Buddha?"
Earth, fire, water, and wind are all within the sea of chaos.
However, the two staffs of emptiness and consciousness are in the hands of the Eastern Lapis Lazuli Buddha Realm and the Silkworm Dragon Realm respectively.
The Supreme Buddha force that is suspected to have been passed down by Tiber does not even have a magic staff.
"Is this a coincidence, or..."
Wang Ba's heart was churning, and he thought of more and further things.
But he quickly wiped away all these distracting thoughts one by one.
We will talk about these later. The most important thing right now is to try our best to squeeze out all the surplus value of these monks.
He then used the power of the Yin Spirit and the soul-searching method for the third time, and then the fourth and fifth times...
The information he obtained from the arhat in front of him became less and less, and more and more fragmented, until he could no longer control the other party with the power of the Yin God. Only then did he stop, withdraw from his sea of consciousness, and then released the other monks.
None of the ten Arhats were spared, followed by the Bodhisattvas...
Except for the strong primordial spirit of Bodhisattva Zhizhen, whose restricted Yin Spirit power could not be shaken, all other monks, even the Bodhisattvas, were searched one by one by Wang Ba.
Finally, from the memories they leaked, I managed to piece together the "Heart Sutra of Great Bliss", "Sea of Wisdom Liberation Sutra", "Prajna Sutra", and other complete exercises from a young novice monk to a great bodhisattva, as well as the six supernatural powers of Buddhism: the power of divine feet, the ability to read other people's minds, the ability to see through the sky, the ability to know past lives, the ability to hear through the sky, and the ability to eliminate all defilements.
The first five can be learned by both those with low and high cultivation levels, but the last one is said to be a supernatural power that only the Buddha can achieve.
In addition, there are the so-called "law of cause and effect", "law of reincarnation", etc., but most of them are vague.
And there is one more thing that Wang Ba most often senses in the memories of these monks, and that is "merit".
From the moment they were born, these monks were told that they were born in sin, and that only by making great wishes and accumulating merits could they move towards bliss step by step.
For this purpose, it is necessary to save all living beings from water and fire.
As for why all living beings are in water and fire, there is no need to ask further.
"Is this why they are attacking other realms?"
Wang Ba seemed to be thinking about something.
He had already vaguely guessed what kind of predicament the gigantic Supreme Buddha was facing.
Perhaps the starting point of the Supreme Buddha was indeed good, to achieve self-realization by saving sentient beings and gaining merit.
However, when gaining merit becomes a kind of reward rather than something done from one's heart, then what greets this process is a huge man-made disaster...
Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is no longer a goal, but a means.
In order to rescue more people and gain more merits, more manpower is needed as soon as possible. More manpower means more people waiting to be "rescued" in order to gain more merits... The cycle continues and the pace of expansion can no longer be stopped.
Until it completely sweeps across the entire Third Realm Sea, or encounters a powerful enemy and puts an end to this endless expansion with its own demise.
This is the destiny of the Supreme Buddha.
It is also the fate of the four realms of the Sea of Chaos, the Cliff of the Broken Sea, and more to encounter the realm of the Supreme True Buddha.
“There is no other way except to completely defeat or even destroy the Supreme Buddha!”
Wang Ba looked solemn.
He vaguely remembered his other incarnation, Kong Chanzi.
He once made a great wish that all living beings in the Ogura world would no longer suffer.
When this wish was fulfilled, he instantly reached the Lianxu realm from the Nascent Soul realm, and then ascended to Nirvana.
At that time, his original body was just a deity.
Such rapid progress was unbelievable. In comparison, the monks' hard practice seemed like a joke.
He had not thought about it carefully at first, but now he thought that what Kong Chanzi practiced might not be much different from the Supreme Buddha.
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought that those who were the Supreme Buddha could use this method to quickly improve their cultivation.
"But where is Kong Chanzi now?"
His eyes swept over the white precious elephant 'Xiang Sijiu' that had been standing on Xiniu Hezhou waiting for the little monk to return, and he felt a little disappointed for a moment.
He thought that he would be able to meet the little monk when he went outside, but unfortunately he had never heard any news about him.
Otherwise, if the other party was there, with his talent in Buddhism, perhaps he could easily learn these methods, or even comprehend the six major rules, crack the mysterious golden patterns on the monks, and even reach the immortal level.
However, even though the other party was not there, Wang Ba did not give up.
Without wasting any time, he began to study these volumes of exercises on the spot.
He started from the Great Sutra of Bliss. Although he started from the very beginning, his state of mind was already here. With just a glance, he was able to get started directly.
He clearly understood the differences between the exercises and the system of cultivators.
He did not waste time in sharpening his magic power, and then comprehended the remaining two volumes of skills one by one.
However, the remaining two volumes are not entirely about the cultivation of magical powers, but more about the improvement of realm.
These were not a problem for Wang Ba, and he studied them carefully for several decades...
But on this day.
A shocking thundercloud suddenly interrupted his meditation.
Wang Ba looked up, sensing the power of the thunder tribulation and the consumption of the power of creation, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:
"Hmm? Someone is about to enter the Tribulation Realm?" (End of this chapter)
