I rely on length to cultivate immortality

With the experience of crossing the boundary wall before, Li Xiuchang was much calmer this time. He arrived at the bottom of the vortex without any ripples in his heart, crossed the boundary wall and came to the Zen Heart Realm.

Just now on the way, Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi briefly introduced the Zen Heart Realm to him.

This is a world dominated by Buddhist cultivation. Because Buddhism is the only dominant one, almost everyone in the people believes in Buddhism, which suppresses the magic path to the point that there is no living space.

The Zen Heart Realm is the opposite of the Sea Boat Realm, with only land and no ocean.

Therefore, the land area is vast and the population is large.

Also because there are many people and a large territory, and the concentration of spiritual energy in the Zen Heart Realm is not low, the overall strength of the Zen Heart Realm is not weak.

As the second-level world, the Zen Heart Realm can completely compete with some third-level worlds.

It’s just that the Buddhist forces in the Zen Heart Realm are not monolithic. In addition, a large number of strong men from the third-level world came to the lower realm before, and the local forces in the Zen Heart Realm had to make some concessions and give up some positions next to the reclining Buddha stone statue to the upper realm cultivators.

And now, with the arrival of the strong men from the Xianyin Realm of the fourth-level world, the situation in the Zen Heart Realm is undergoing tremendous changes again.

After Li Xiuchang came to the Zen Heart Realm, he immediately felt something different, as if something was hanging above his head.

This was a feeling he had never had in the Xianyin Realm and the Haizhou Realm.

It was as if he could reach the invisible thing above his head by stretching out his hand and exerting some force.

He raised his head in confusion, and of course there was nothing above his head.

"Feel it?" Zhang Wanzhi asked with a smile.

"Brother, what is this?" Li Xiuchang asked in confusion.

"Rules, or the way of heaven and earth, you are shrouded in the rules of ascension. Once you show a strength that exceeds the upper limit of this world, you will be pulled by the rules of ascension and forcibly ascend to the upper realm!"

"Ascend?!"

Li Xiuchang was shocked. He originally felt that this word was extremely far away from him, but he didn't expect that he has now become a quasi-ascender. As long as he wants, he can ascend at any time.

Zhang Wanzhi explained: "The ascension requirement for this world is the peak of the Golden Core. If you are only at the peak of the Golden Core, as long as you don't break through to the Nascent Soul and don't actively trigger the heavenly tribulation, then nothing will happen and you will never trigger the ascension rules.

"But you are also a fourth-level body cultivator, equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator. In fact, you have exceeded the upper limit of the strength of this world. After all, a physical cultivator can also ascend by relying on the physical cultivation.

"Therefore, in the Zen Heart Realm, you must be careful to suppress your cultivation level within the Jindan stage when fighting with others, and do not show your Yuanying cultivation level or fourth-level body refining strength, otherwise you will be sent to the upper realm by the ascension rules."

Li Xiuchang blinked: "Can it be like this?"

"Doesn't this mean that the strong men from the upper realm have to actively suppress their cultivation level when they come here? What advantage is there? Anyway, no matter how powerful they are, they can only exert the strength of the Jindan stage."

Zhang Wanzhi smiled and shook his head: "Although the strong men from the upper realm have to suppress their strength when they come here, the deterrent force still exists. The upper realm's Mahayana stage bursts out with strength, and can kill a large number of local Jindan and Yuanying with a slap. The price is just to ascend back to the upper realm, and he can come down again.

"And those who are attacked by him, if they die, they are really dead, and there is no chance to come back again.

"Therefore, the strong are strong wherever they are!"

That's what he said, but Li Xiuchang is still not used to this feeling of being tied up.

Moreover, the place they were going to, that is, the area near the reclining Buddha statue, might not correspond to the upper realm where they came from.

If Li Xiuchang ascended by accident, he didn't know which world he would ascend to. If he got separated from his two senior brothers, he would not be able to return to the Xianyin Realm.

At that time, he could only wait for his senior brothers to find him, or practice silently to the peak of the Refining Void Stage and ascend back to the Xianyin Realm by himself.

In order to prevent himself from ascending to the upper realm by accident, Li Xiuchang decided not to use his body refining strength in the Zen Heart Realm.

Even if he fought with others, he would only use Qi refining methods.

Anyway, he didn't form a baby, so as long as he didn't use his body refining strength, he would not trigger the rules of ascension no matter how he went.

...

Li Xiuchang and the other two stopped an old man passing by and asked about the direction of the reclining Buddha statue.

"Are you also going to the Reclining Buddha Temple to worship Buddha?" The old man looked at Li Xiuchang and the other two with some restraint.

Li Xiuchang and Zhang Wanzhi were fine, but Motu didn't look like a good person at first glance, which scared the old man a little.

"Reclining Buddha Temple? Is there a stone statue of the Reclining Buddha?" Zhang Wanzhi asked.

The news they received said that the stone statue of the Reclining Buddha was placed bare in the forest, but they had not heard of any Reclining Buddha Temple.

Therefore, they were not sure whether the Reclining Buddha Temple mentioned by the old man was the place they wanted to go.

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, there was only a Reclining Buddha but no temple there originally. Later, a circle of walls was built and it became the Reclining Buddha Temple."

"That should be correct. Please show me the way, old man." Li Xiuchang said politely.

Seeing that Li Xiuchang and Zhang Wanzhi both had a gentle smile on their faces, the old man felt relieved and said, "Recently, many outsiders have come and said they want to go to the Reclining Buddha Temple, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"Why do you say that?"

"I heard that those outsiders who went to the Reclining Buddha Temple returned disappointed because the Buddha had woken up. If they want the Reclining Buddha to show his power, they have to wait until the Buddha falls asleep before coming." The old man said mysteriously.

Li Xiuchang and the other two looked at each other and roughly guessed what was going on.

The reason why people from the upper world come to the Zen Heart Realm is simply to occupy a place next to the reclining Buddha to practice and break through the bottleneck.

But to practice next to the reclining Buddha statue, one needs to "sleep with the Buddha and wake up with the Buddha."

The previous batch of ascenders ascended collectively, which happened not long ago. The "Buddha" was equivalent to just waking up and not feeling sleepy, and had not fallen asleep again.

Now the new batch of people came near the reclining Buddha, and naturally they could not fall asleep to practice.

It might take some time for the reclining Buddha to "fall asleep" again.

Li Xiuchang was not disappointed by this, but felt that it was a rare opportunity.

If he approached the stone statue of the reclining Buddha, he would have to sleep and practice for three to five years, so he did not dare to approach.

He did not want to be forced to "sleep" by the reclining Buddha.

But now that there is no such concern, he can pick spiritual plants around the reclining Buddha without worrying about being affected.

Seeing that Li Xiuchang and the other two were still determined to go to the Reclining Buddha Temple, the old man pointed out the direction for them.

After Li Xiuchang and the other two thanked him, they immediately flew to the Reclining Buddha Temple.

…

A circle of thick high walls surrounded the stone statue of the reclining Buddha and the surrounding area of ​​dozens of miles, and a formation was set up for protection.

The only entrance and exit was guarded by more than a dozen young monks.

Zhang Wanzhi used his spiritual sense to explore the inside and outside of the Reclining Buddha Temple from a distance and said, "Most of the people inside are local Buddhist practitioners. There are not many strong people from the four major sects in the Xianyin Realm. Many of them came and went."

It is obvious that many strong people from the four major sects came to sleep with the Reclining Buddha. As a result, the Reclining Buddha is not sleepy now, so they can only go back first.

"Let's go and take a look." Motu took the lead and walked towards the Reclining Buddha Temple.

They did not choose to sneak in secretly, but walked in openly from the main gate.

Li Xiuchang put away the smile on his face, put on a stern face, and put on the appearance of a straightforward swordsman.

A group of young monks saw the group of one old and two young people coming and shouted, "Stop! This is a sacred place for Buddhism, and you are not allowed to trespass!"

Li Xiuchang took a step forward and said in a hard tone, "I want to go in."

The monks saw Li Xiuchang's outfit, his expression and the sword on his back, and recognized his identity as a straightforward swordsman.

There are also swordsmen in the Zen Heart Realm, but they are relatively few.

The monks immediately forgave Li Xiuchang's blunt tone. Why would they argue with such straightforward people?

Their words softened a bit: "This sword cultivator donor, people who are not from our Buddhist sect are not allowed to enter the Reclining Buddha Temple. Please forgive me."

Li Xiuchang directly exposed: "You are lying. I saw several Taoists being welcomed in by you."

The monks blushed and argued: "Those are people who have a connection with our Buddha."

"Do I have a connection with Buddha?" Li Xiuchang asked directly.

"No." The monks shook their heads.

"What about now?" The gloomy old man played by Brother Motu took a step forward at the right time and made a move that matched his image. The powerful soul power burst out, and there was a fierce aura on his head, which made the monks tremble and their bald heads were covered with sweat.

"Hehe, do we have a connection with Buddha?" Motu asked sinisterly.

"It's fate. The three donors are all people with deep affinity with Buddhism. Please come in quickly!"

An old monk who looked like the abbot appeared out of nowhere and hurriedly invited Li Xiuchang and the other two to come in.

The old monk took a look at the fierce aura above Motu's head and said without blushing or beating his heart: "The donor has Buddha's light on his head. At first glance, he is a benevolent person with great merits!"

Motu was surprised and said: "As expected of the abbot, he is really good at judging people!"
