Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Sansheng Zen Temple is located in the Stone Forest Plain in the Lieyang Empire.

This is a peculiar plain.

Unlike the endless expanse of other plains, the Stone Forest Plain is covered with huge stones everywhere.

It is said that in ancient times, the Stone Forest Plain was actually a continuous mountain range.

But one day, two great masters fought a decisive battle over the mountains.

They all had the ability to move mountains and seas, pick stars and take the moon. That battle was so fierce that the sun and the moon lost their light, and the sky and the earth shook.

Mountains were broken by them, and rivers were cut off.

After that battle, the endless mountains turned into countless scattered boulders, and this place became the Stone Forest Plain today.

Going deep through countless boulders, you can see three huge stone Buddhas with their heads in the sky standing opposite each other in the center of the plain.

Those are the statues of the three great Buddhas, the past Randak, the present Tathagata, and the future Miller.

In the middle of the three Buddha statues, there is a magnificent temple, which is the Sansheng Zen Temple.

Zhao Mu and the monk Zhennian stepped on the auspicious clouds and came to the sky above the Sansheng Zen Temple.

The two looked down at the temple below.

"What a magnificent temple, it is worthy of being one of the super sects in the southern region of the cultivation world." Zhao Mu exclaimed.

"Haha, master, you are too kind. If we talk about the mountain gate, the Sansheng Zen Temple is still not as good as the other sects with a long history."

The monk Zhennian smiled and said, "Master, there are prohibitions and formations everywhere in the Sansheng Zen Temple. If an outsider enters without permission, he will immediately trigger a warning and be trapped, or even wiped out by the formation, so I may have to wrong the master next."

"Understood!"

Zhao Mu didn't waste any words. Suddenly, a faint nine-color light flashed all over his body, and then the whole person quickly shrank, and turned into a button, and flew to the chest of the monk Zhennian.

"Be careful, don't let your fellow disciples find out the abnormality." Zhao Mu instructed.

"Master, don't worry. As the Great Buddha, no one in this Sansheng Zen Temple dares to doubt me, so there will be no problem."

Monk Zhennian said confidently, and then flew down.

Inside Sansheng Zen Temple.

Monk Zhennian walked all the way to the Sutra Library, and the disciples he met on the way greeted him respectfully.

"Greetings to the Great Buddha!"

"Uncle Master, when did you come back?"

"Hello, Uncle Master. People from the Great Bodhi Temple have come and asked us to give them an explanation about the matter of the Ancient Sword Mountain Range. What do you think we should do about this matter?"

It can be seen that Monk Zhennian, the Great Buddha, is indeed quite majestic in Sansheng Zen Temple.

All the disciples he met along the way were very respectful, and even the disciples of lower seniority did not even dare to look up at him.

In this way, Monk Zhennian walked into the Sutra Library without any disturbance.

At this time, many disciples were reading books in the Sutra Library.

Monk Zhennian said, "Everyone, go out and pass on my order. No one is allowed to enter the Sutra Library within one day."

"Yes, Great Buddha!"

Although many disciples were puzzled, no one dared to hesitate and they all retreated immediately.

The Sutra Library became quiet.

Monk Zhennian continued to walk inside until he walked into a secluded room.

The room was very empty. There was nothing to worship except a wooden table, and on the wooden table, there were three books.

Suddenly, a light flashed on Monk Zhennian's chest, and a hole fell off and turned into Zhao Mu.

"Is this the "Three Worlds of Buddhism"? "

Zhao Mu walked to the table and looked at the three books on it.

"Yes, this is the "Three Worlds of Buddhism."

Monk Zhennian made a hand seal, and a Buddha light hit the table, lifting the restriction of the sealed technique.

He said, "Master, "The Three Worlds of Buddhism" is extremely important to the Zen temple, so this room is full of multiple layers of restrictions."

"Although I am the Great Buddha, I can only open the first layer of restrictions when I come here alone. Master, you can read the skills here, but you must not take the skills out of the room, otherwise it will immediately trigger the restrictions and attract many masters in the Zen temple."

"Okay, I'll just take a look and won't take it out."

Zhao Mu nodded.

Although with the Nine-Colored Glazed Incarnation and the cultivation of the Saint Realm, he is confident that he can get away even if he alarms the masters of the entire Sansheng Zen Temple.

But after all, he came to steal the skills.

It is proper to come quietly and leave quietly without disturbing a speck of dust. There is no need to cause trouble.

"How many of these three skills have you practiced?" Zhao Mu asked casually.

"Master, I have only practiced the "Present Tathagata Dharma" and the "Past Lantern Dharma". As for the "Future Maitreya Dharma", I have never even seen it."

"Oh, why?"

"This is the rule set by the Sansheng Zen Temple since ancient times. All core disciples can only choose one of the exercises to practice at the beginning. Only after they have entered the sage realm can they read the second part and practice it as a supplement."

Monk Zhennian explained: "The Buddha knows the truth and illusion of the past, present, and future. In other words, only the real Buddha can comprehend the three time and space at the same time."

"Although the "Three Lives Dharma" is a mortal practice, because it practices the three time and space separately, it is actually equivalent to directly touching the Buddha's fruit position to a certain extent."

"If you practice only one of the exercises, it's okay, but if anyone dares to practice all three exercises at the same time, then the Buddha nature that is aroused in the dark is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear."

"Once the Buddha nature erupts, the practitioner will be completely assimilated and become a walking corpse without consciousness and in a daze."

"That's why the ancestors of the Zen temple set the rules. Any disciple can only practice one of the exercises at the beginning. After the cultivation level is high enough and a solid foundation is established, the second part can be practiced."

Is "Three Lives of Buddhism" so overbearing?

Zhao Mu asked curiously: "Is there no one who can practice all three exercises at the same time?"

"At least in my memory, no one can do it."

Monk Zhennian shook his head and said: "Master, do you know that there was a disciple of Ziwei Daomen who worshipped in my Three Lives Zen Temple in the early years?"

"I know, it was a female disciple named Sun Miaoniang, who was born with Guanyin bones." Zhao Mu nodded.

"Yes, Sun Miaoniang is born with Buddha nature, which can be said to be extremely suitable for Buddhist exercises, but even she can only practice two exercises at the beginning, let alone others."

"Is that so?"

Zhao Mu pondered: "You said practice together, but I don't practice, I just simply refer to the three exercises, is it okay?"

"No!"

Monk Zhennian shook his head again: "The Three Worlds of Buddhism is very special. Its practice is different from the transfer of spiritual energy of ordinary exercises, but more like a visualization method."

"As long as you refer to the exercises, it will leave a mark in your heart and let you start practicing directly, so the master should read one first."

"Anyway, I am the Great Buddha. When the master has practiced one of the exercises, he can come to refer to the second one at any time."

So troublesome?

Zhao Mu frowned slightly. He didn't want to practice the Three Worlds of Buddhism, but just wanted to collect exercises so that the master could practice the Mysterious Sutra of the Integration of All Laws. He didn't want to waste time making three trips.
