I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life
#242 - Treasure Ship Sets Sail
The development of events was somewhat unexpected. Before the people he had arranged could even come forward, someone was already jumping out impatiently to join. Regardless of whether they were going to the Western Desert Buddhist sect later, latching onto this powerful figure first would definitely be better than their current situation!
Moreover, some who were good at speculation had already discovered the hidden meaning.
After all, the fact that the Dao Alliance hadn't invited the Buddhist sect when it was first established had been a topic of discussion for a long time. Everyone was surprised, mainly because they didn't know that the Western Desert Buddhist sect had once proactively proposed joining the Dao Alliance, but had been rejected. The Dao Alliance didn't publicize this matter, and the Western Desert Buddhist sect naturally didn't want to admit they had been snubbed.
If everyone knew that the Dao Alliance had once rejected the Western Desert Buddhist sect, they would probably be even more surprised, and would have reacted much sooner.
Even so, some quick-witted individuals had associated this with the fact that the Yao Guang Holy Land must be planning something against the Western Desert Buddhist sect, otherwise they wouldn't be so supportive, and even the Yao Guang Holy Master was going to the Western Desert.
Of course, they hadn't yet associated it with the Dao Alliance. After all, the Yuan Tian Sect hadn't come forward yet, and only the Yao Guang Holy Land was publicly supporting Buddha Supreme.
In just half a day, more than seven hundred people were willing to become disciples of Buddha Supreme. However, most of them didn't have the talent to cultivate Buddhism, unlike Weng Susu, who had innate wisdom roots. But Luo Mo still chose to accept boys under the age of sixteen as disciples, and bestowed elixirs and magical treasures to the rest, making them protectors.
Those who were Great Experts were given King-level divine weapons, and those at the Sendai stage were given Great Expert-level weapons.
The only elixir he had was the Nascent Soul Pill. He didn't have precious elixirs like the Dragon Elephant Pill or the Lapis Lazuli Golden Body Pill, because these two types of pills could restore King-level combat power, and the materials were hard to find.
Even someone as wealthy as Luo Mo had only refined less than a hundred pills of each type. It was impossible to distribute them directly and could only be slowly rewarded in the future.
However, he did pass on the Maha Immeasurable Chapter of the Maha Prajna Art, which could increase divine sense and mana. As for the Prajna Chapter… it was too difficult to practice. Not only did it require high-quality faith power, but one also needed to have extremely strong wisdom roots to cultivate it.
Even Luo Mo himself was only able to successfully cultivate the Great Prajna Art because he had cultivated many of the Three Thousand Great Daos, had long held a Bodhi seed, and had a World Tree branch transformed from a Enlightenment Tea Tree branch accompanying him.
And Weng Susu had innate wisdom roots and a special physique, which allowed her to successfully cultivate the Great Prajna Art.
If an ordinary person tried, they simply wouldn't be able to comprehend it. If they didn't reach the threshold, they wouldn't be able to cultivate it.
The Great Prajna Art was a Three Thousand Great Daos technique with very high initial requirements. It could be said to be second only to the Minor Destiny Technique, the Great Karma Technique, etc. Therefore, not everyone could cultivate it. Giving it to them would only make them waste time trying to study it.
It would be better to just give them the Maha Immeasurable Chapter to build a foundation, and then teach them some Subduing Demons Secret Arts and Golden Body Secret Techniques, focusing on combat.
A good banquet had directly turned into an apprenticeship ceremony. In this one instance, Luo Mo had received more than seven hundred protectors and disciples. As the ship sailed towards the Western Desert, who knew how many more people would board along the way.
“Since everyone wants to travel together, please board the ship. This treasure is called the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship. It was refined using countless precious materials and has been consecrated with faith power for a long time. It contains the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and is driven by one hundred and eight thousand great formations. It can suppress evil demons and ferry all beings across the sea of suffering. Those who board my ship will leave all kinds of troubles behind, be pure and at ease, free from inner demons, unaffected by suffering, and untainted by karma.”
Under Luo Mo's guidance, the crowd came to the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship, and the treasure ship finally revealed its true appearance.
This was a treasure ship as transparent as crystal and lapis lazuli. Every ray of light it refracted projected a thousand-armed sacred Buddha into the void, chanting scriptures, seemingly explaining some Buddhist truths.
The old cultivator who was skilled in refining finally didn't have to observe the treasure ship through the Buddhist light anymore and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
“Wonderful~ Wonderful!”
Someone asked with a smile, “Master Ouye, what's so wonderful about it?”
The old cultivator excitedly pointed at the treasure ship and said, “From afar, it looks like jade, but up close, it's gold. This refining technique is truly unheard of and unseen by this old man. It's so wonderfully perfect, it's simply the work of gods!”
“This isn't the power of heaven and earth, but the power of man. Every bit contains the truth of the Dao of refining!”
The old cultivator obsessively stroked this magical treasure. Although he had the opportunity to see a World-Defying Sacred Weapon, this treasure ship was different.
World-Defying Sacred Weapons were powerful, but that was because the Sacred was highly cultivated and had powerful Dao patterns. But the refining techniques contained in this treasure ship far surpassed the World-Defying Sacred Weapons he had seen. The difference could be seen from the processing of the materials alone.
Someone else asked, “From afar, it looks like jade, but up close, it's gold. But to us, it clearly looks like lapis lazuli?”
The old cultivator shook his head and then pointed at the treasure ship and said, “Look closely. There's an innate precious aura flowing in this lapis lazuli-like material. What is that? That's the essence of Nine Heavens Divine Jade!”
“Nine Heavens Divine Jade?”
“Why can't I see anything?”
A cultivator used a secret technique of the Eye of Law and stared intently, “I can see some things. Nine types of innate jade Qi condense into one piece, hazy and indistinct, scattered and invisible. Truly amazing!”
But upon closer inspection, it could be found that the lapis lazuli, which had lost all of its jade Qi essence, had not degenerated as a result, but instead possessed characteristics that were not inferior to the essence of Nine Heavens Divine Jade.
Only when the Eye of Law was used to the extreme could one see that there were faint flashes of light inside the pure and flawless lapis lazuli, forming runes like meridians, growing within it.
That kind of light was so beautiful that it made people's hearts tremble.
“There is indeed light.”
“The golden immortal light has formed meridians.”
“This light is too faint, but its quality seems to be no less than that of Nine Heavens Divine Jade.”
This time, only the Great Experts spoke, and they were all Great Experts from large forces, because only these powerful individuals with a deep foundation could see to this extent.
“Master Ouye, how was this done?”
The old cultivator also spoke, “If I'm not mistaken, Immortal Gold was added when this treasure was refined.”
“What?”
“Immortal Gold!”
“Nine Heavens Divine Jade and Immortal Gold, this is a golden jade treasure ship!”
“Master Ouye, which kind of Immortal Gold is it?”
“This…”
The old cultivator pondered for a long time, then shook his head, “Please forgive this old man's poor eyesight. I really can't identify it. Every kind of Immortal Gold has its own unique characteristics, but I haven't seen any on this treasure ship. Perhaps the amount used was too small.”
Too little?
The crowd didn't find this surprising. On the contrary, they thought it was normal. If a large part of it was really made of Immortal Gold, that would be shocking. After all, Immortal Gold was hard to find and was the exclusive sacred material of ancient emperors.
While they were talking, Buddha Supreme and the Yao Guang's people had already boarded the ship, so they followed closely behind and boarded this treasure ship made of extraordinary materials.
As soon as they boarded the ship, their expressions became serious because they felt its extraordinariness.
Then they gradually relaxed, as if standing on the top of a sacred mountain, overlooking the vast landscape and enjoying the beautiful scenery, allowing their spirits to be greatly relaxed.
The thousand-armed sacred Buddha domain, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Because of Luo Mo, the master, and the blood sacrifice method of the Great Treasure Refining Technique, this Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship also inherited some of Luo Mo's characteristics. The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss domain existed on the treasure ship.
Although the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss on the Dharma artifact is not as powerful as Luo Mo's own Thousand-Handed Holy Buddha Dharma Idol, it can act as an amplifier. After all, it is truly large. When Luo Mo casts the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol and summons the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss domain, it will be amplified, increasing its range and power.
When Luo Mo presides over this treasure ship, it is at its strongest.
The greatest feeling upon boarding this treasure ship is not the physical comfort, nor the fragrant spiritual energy in the air, but the immense mental relaxation. It's like basking lazily in the sun on a clear day. How long has it been since they, as cultivators, experienced such a feeling?
Peace and tranquility. After boarding this treasure ship, no one is noisy. Everyone becomes relaxed and comfortable, even their desire to cultivate fades. They only want to enjoy the precious moments in their life of striving.
Traveling across the Western Desert on the treasure ship, stealing half a day of leisure in a busy life.
They traveled in silence.
When the group arrived in the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness and the treasure ship temporarily stopped in an ancient human city, they suddenly awoke.
At this moment, the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship had already stopped, most of the formations were not operating, and the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss domain on the ship had also faded away.
Only then did the passengers on the ship awaken due to the fading of the domain.
Did we just spend half a day doing nothing and saying nothing?
How is that possible?
We are cultivators!
None of the passengers had ever imagined that one day 'laziness' would make them feel fear.
Buddha or Demon, it's just a thought away.
The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss can relax people and increase their spiritual power, but it can also lead to eternal depravity, possessed by the Lazy God, unable to turn over for eternity like a salted fish.
This kind of thing is truly terrifying to even think about. Once they are trapped in it, they won't even feel 'fear' anymore. Even if they think of it, they won't want to care and will only be willing to immerse themselves in it.
"Buddha Lord is lecturing and expounding the Dharma in the city, inviting everyone," a cultivator who had just joined Luo Mo's sect came to say. The others had already left before the crowd even noticed.
They disembarked one by one and flew into the city.
Although the Buddha Lord's methods just now made them feel fear, they did not intend to leave because of this. They insisted on going to the Western Desert to see the world.
Someone glanced back at the Great Radiance Universal Salvation Ship, wondering if such a treasure ship would just stay here.
In a daze, he saw several pairs of eyes, located in a sea of light. Each pair of eyes belonged to an incomparably powerful being, and a single glance could kill him a hundred times!
The treasure ship definitely hides incredibly powerful existences!
… …
After entering the Central Region from the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness, Luo Mo stopped here again, lecturing and expounding the Dharma, demonstrating his methods.
As the saying goes, heavenly flowers flutter and golden lotuses spring from the earth. With the blessing of the Great Debate Technique, his words and actions are accompanied by divine wonders. Even if he speaks nonsense, he can make people listen with fascination thanks to the Great Debate Technique.
Moreover, it is impossible for him to speak nonsense. He explains ancient scriptures, secret techniques, and the mysteries of Buddhism. He also patiently answers questions and guides them on their path.
For someone like him, the problems encountered by ordinary cultivators can be easily solved. When quoting extensively, many people cannot verify the authenticity of the quoted scriptures. One person's knowledge can match that of thousands.
The sound of Buddhism echoed in this ancient human city for three days.
During this time, the old gatekeeper of the Tianshuan Stone Workshop in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness quietly appeared, standing with his hands behind his back in a corner, listening to the radiant Buddha Lord lecturing.
Suddenly, he turned his head and saw a hunched old man holding a wooden staff with a black jade pendant in the shape of a tortoise shell.
The old gatekeeper's eyes reflected this old man, but it was not human, but a black tortoise. Its flesh bloomed with light, and it was clearly a demon saint.
The two nodded to each other as a greeting, then went their separate ways, only listening to the Buddha Lord lecturing. They couldn't help but ponder when they heard something interesting.
Seeing the Buddha Lord demonstrate the Dharma, they also circulated it in their palms, nodding from time to time, as if they had gained something.
"Tianshuan Saint, Black Tortoise Saint, have you two also come to listen to the Dharma?"
Luo Mo, dressed in black, slowly walked in.
Wei Yi of the Tianshuan Holy Land cupped his hands upon seeing Luo Mo, the leader of the Yuantian Sect, and said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Luo. Our last meeting feels like yesterday."
Wei Yi was somewhat emotional. He was truly a proud son of heaven. The last time they met, Luo Mo was just a small cultivator in the Sea of Wheels realm, with only decent Source Arts, cutting out a lot of good things from the stones in his Stone Workshop.
He never expected that upon seeing him again, the small cultivator in the Sea of Wheels realm had become a Source Master and had walked out of a unique path of pure Yang, creating such a large sect.
The demon saint of the Black Tortoise clan had no intersection with Luo Mo, it was just a chance encounter.
"Isn't Fellow Daoist Luo also interested in Buddhism?"
"I am not interested in Buddhism, I am just here to support an old friend."
Luo Mo's words made the two saints look sideways, and they couldn't help but look over there, not knowing whether Luo Mo was talking about Jiang Li or the Buddha Lord who suddenly appeared.
"I have recently obtained some good tea leaves, why not invite you two to move and share a cup."
One doesn't strike a smiling face, but the Black Tortoise demon saint didn't have much affection for the human forces, so he cupped his hands and said, "I won't disturb you, farewell."
The incarnation wasn't angry at all at this ungrateful Black Tortoise. After all, the target wasn't him, just an ordinary saint, not very useful.
But Wei Yi was different.
The Tianshuan Three Heroes of the past, now a Great Saint, one of the pillars of the human race in the Big Dipper, can be invited to go together.
Although the Tianshuan Holy Land has been destroyed in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, there is still an old madman who ran out, and he should have gone to the Ziwei Star Region by now.
Leaving Wei Yi and a gatekeeper, the sect hasn't been rebuilt after so many years. It's time to let him cheer up and come out to do some activities.
"No need for good tea leaves, a few cups of rough tea will suffice." Wei Yi agreed, willing to have a chat.
The incarnation waved his hand, set up a Source artifact, isolating the area, then set out tea sets, took out some divine spring and tea leaves, and began to brew tea, using the voice of the main body lecturing as background music to start chatting.
"Tea trees obtained in a blessed land with an ancient environment, this kind of tea leaf is almost impossible to find in the present world."
"Then I must taste it."
The fragrance of tea wafted, this was an ancient treasure, but at this time, the minds of the two were not on the tea leaves.
Wei Yi took a sip of tea and said "Good tea", then asked: "The Buddha Lord is staying in this city to lecture, what do you think is the purpose?"
As a Great Saint, Wei Yi naturally noticed the strangeness.
The incarnation didn't hide it and said openly: "To absorb cultivators."
The Yaoguang Holy Land is in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.
The Yuantian Sect is in the Northern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.
Then how should the human races in other regions, especially the loose cultivators and small sects, be controlled? The further away, the smaller the power and influence radiated.
The Dao Alliance is one method, but one method is not enough.
Therefore, Luo Mo has to walk through it himself.
Anyway, the Buddhist sect of the Western Desert is there, it won't run away.
From the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness to the Western Desert, it is necessary to pass through the Central Region of the Eastern Wilderness, the Western Region of the Eastern Wilderness, and then traverse the Central Continent to reach the Western Desert from east to west.
On the way to the Western Desert, Luo Mo will stop at the ancient cities where cultivators gather, send people to promote in advance, absorb cultivators to gather and wait, and recruit more disciples at that time.
The positions of the Yuantian Sect and the Yaoguang Holy Land are too fixed. If they are the opposing lane, then Luo Mo is now jungling, scavenging the jungle resources before hitting the big dragon in the Western Desert.
Instead of letting those loose cultivators and small sects grow wildly, it is better to absorb them as much as possible, cultivate them, and then send them out again.
It's like a pile of seeds, letting them blossom everywhere.
