I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

Lingyin Temple.

Om mani padme hum, they inherit the syllable 'ma' within the six-syllable mantra of Buddhism, which can empower all dharmas. Any technique performed by them possesses astonishing power.

Legend has it that a high monk of Lingyin Temple once suppressed a demon with a palm strike. The Subduing Demon Palm grew increasingly powerful in the days that followed, eventually grinding the suppressed demon to death.

Furthermore, there is a legend of a high monk from Lingyin Temple who enlightened a mountain peak, transforming it into a mountain god. After suppressing a demon, the mountain god followed traces for tens of thousands of miles to settle in Lingyin Temple, which is now known as the Feilai Peak beside Lingyin Temple.

This is quite miraculous.

When Luo Mo met Abbot Huili of Lingyin Temple and copied the various scriptures, secret techniques, and the syllable 'ma' mantra of Lingyin Temple from him using the True Spirit Imprint, he understood that these legends were indeed true.

The syllable 'ma' mantra primarily cultivates the nascent spirit. All things possess spirituality. Even a technique can have its spirituality awakened and be endowed with wisdom.

You are already a mature spell; try to do good deeds and suppress demons on your own.

It can also awaken the spirituality of objects, transforming inanimate objects into living beings. It turns out that Feilai Peak really flew over on its own back then because it had been enlightened by an ancient Buddha of the Great Saint level from Lingyin Temple.

"Amitabha, Your Eminence has won against three ancient temples in a row. Your understanding of Buddhism is truly profound. How about we only discuss Buddhist teachings today and refrain from competing?" Abbot Huili of Lingyin Temple said.

"As you wish. I simply want to experience the Buddhist teachings of various schools. It's truly fascinating."

The syllable 'ma' mantra inherited by Lingyin Temple is similar to a combination of the Great Puppet Technique and the Great Incarnation Technique. While strengthening the techniques being performed, it awakens their spirituality and gives birth to wisdom. If one cultivates it to a high level, this wisdom can exist for a very long time.

For example, Huili, a King who has severed the Dao, can make a technique last for a hundred years. And a predecessor of Lingyin Temple who once cultivated into a Buddha once allowed Feilai Peak to exist for five thousand seven hundred years before its spiritual intelligence dissipated.

This world is indeed wonderful, with so many secret techniques.

Luo Mo stored all the techniques he had copied from the major ancient temples these days in his heart, arranging them one by one, transforming them into orderly imprints floating in his sea of consciousness.

Whenever he conversed with people, he constantly circulated his mana in his sea of consciousness, converting these secret techniques into divine powers of the Eternal Life method.

Although these Buddhist secret techniques, when converted, are at most minor or great divine powers, with the Six-Syllable Mantra being the level of supreme divine power, their advantage lies in their vast number.

After this period of accumulation, Luo Mo's sea of consciousness already had over a thousand divine power imprints sealed and nurtured by himself, all of which were Buddhist divine powers, compiled according to the Eternal Life method, condensing into runes, forming arrays, infusing with vital energy, and transforming into divine powers.

Buddhism is the easiest to cultivate, with vows and the fact that Luo Mo, who has cultivated many of the Three Thousand Great Daos of Buddhism, can easily grasp all Buddhist teachings. Having long been engaged in the translation work of the two systems, he is familiar with the process. Coupled with the cultivation experience of the abbots of the major ancient temples, it does not take much time to cultivate a divine power.

However, he would not integrate these divine powers converted from the Shrouding Heaven method into his own Heaven and Earth Dharma Image. The moment they are cultivated, he immediately peels them off, like a dumpling that has been wrapped and thrown onto the cutting board.

These divine powers are also on the cutting board.

Because they are all food.

The two sat down to discuss the Dao, without competing to win or lose, each displaying a method to demonstrate their understanding.

Huili reached out and summoned a stone, stroking it to awaken its spirituality. This was the starting gesture of the syllable 'ma' mantra.

An ordinary stone, after being awakened by Huili, actually jumped and bounced, briefly coming to life.

Luo Mo also reached out, and the Great Pudu Technique was activated, illuminating it with a ray of Pudu Zen light.

With Luo Mo's current cultivation, even ordinary Kings who have severed the Dao would not be able to withstand his conversion for long, let alone a stone that has been briefly endowed with spirituality.

After being illuminated by the Great Pudu Zen Light, the stone immediately jumped to Luo Mo's side, intimately leaning against him, expressing its conversion.

Abbot Huili then changed his technique, gathering hundreds of stones, all of which were awakened with spirituality. Even the stone in Luo Mo's hand was forcibly summoned over, and the thousands of spirits merged, forming a huge earth and stone humanoid creature.

Luo Mo formed the Guidance Seal with his hands, urging the Great Guidance Technique, as if the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss had opened the door of convenience, and the light of guidance, filled with perfect, bright, eternal, and sacred aura, shone over. The huge earth and stone creature then came towards Luo Mo again, kowtowing with each step, sincerely wanting to convert to the Pure Land.

Luo Mo grabbed the little spiritual light, gathered it into a ball, and then flicked it towards Huili.

Huili caught this ball of gentle spiritual light. His body and divine sense were yearning for it. Obviously, this was a tonic, even needed by him, a quasi-sage.

The crowd was dazzled because the two demonstrated Buddhist teachings at an extremely fast pace. Often, before they could see the mysteries, they switched to another method.

Pudu, Guidance, Transcendence, Liberation... and even Karma.

By the end of the demonstration, Huili had already put down his hands, quietly acting as an audience. When the Buddha Venerable displayed the first two Buddhist teachings, he still had the idea of competing, but from the third Great Transcendence Technique, he had completely given up.

Because he obtained the ball of spiritual light given to him by the Buddha Venerable, he knew how big the gap between the two was. The Buddha Venerable, with such a wonderful method, did not know how much he had strengthened himself.

And the Buddhist teachings that followed, Huili's brain was obviously shocked by a Buddhist bell again and again.

Various Buddhist mysteries, and even Karma, something that even the Great Emperors of ancient times were said to be unwilling to touch, could actually be expressed through Buddhism.

For the first time, he felt his own shallowness.

For a long time, he did not recover from the aftertaste of the twenty-nine kinds of Buddhist teachings.

After witnessing the Buddha Venerable's methods, he suddenly felt that the sage-level barrier that had困扰 him for most of his life seemed to have turned into a piece of paper that could be pierced with a finger!

Rumble rumble—

The thunder in the tribulation clouds rolled and roared. They were always so swift and never late!

The black clouds almost covered the entire sky, stretching as far as the eye could see, like a giant mouth about to swallow the sky.

"This is the Sage Tribulation!"

"Oh my god!"

"Abbot Huili has been a quasi-sage for more than a thousand years, and he is breaking through at this moment!"

Whether it was the audience on the treasure ship or the audience who came to watch at their own expense like Zhong Huang Xiang Yufei, they suddenly remembered something.

"Not good!"

"Hurry!"

"If we get a little bit of the Sage Thunder Tribulation, we will definitely be reduced to ashes!"

"We can't fly out. We can't see the edge."

Some people were about to cry. The Sage Thunder Tribulation was too vast, seemingly enveloping the world.

"Don't panic. There is a Heaven-Deceiving Array on the ship!"

At the critical moment, Jiang Li still spoke to stabilize people's hearts.

The crowd's panic also stopped. Upon closer inspection, sure enough, the silver snakes and electric pythons did not strike towards them.

On the other side, Lingyin Temple was also safe and sound. The great array left by the ancient Buddha protected the monks. Only some viewers, such as Zhong Huang Xiang Yufei, were affected. Huili's Sage Tribulation actually separated several thunderbolts and came towards them because they had no protection.

The disciples of the other ancient temples who came to watch the excitement were immediately frightened out of their wits because this was the Sage Thunder Tribulation. Among these people, the one with the highest cultivation was Zhong Huang Xiang Yufei, who had just severed the Dao not long ago. The others had even lower cultivation.

If they were to be touched by a little bit of it, they would definitely be left with only ashes.

Even Xiang Yufei showed a horrified expression at this moment. He did not expect it, so he did not prepare the corresponding items to avoid the tribulation. If there was time to prepare, with his connections, he could naturally find treasures to avoid the tribulation very easily, but the key was that he did not expect this!

Master Huili, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, who hadn't achieved a breakthrough in over a thousand years, actually broke through suddenly! Moreover, it happened during a discussion of Dao with someone, a sudden enlightenment without any preparation, attracting the Great Tribulation of becoming a Saint. The scope was extremely wide, causing immense suffering to those who were there to watch the spectacle.

The lightning was swift, but just as it was about to strike, a figure in white robes stood before them.

Thunder rumbled, monastic robes fluttered, and the Buddha-Lord actually appeared before them, drawing a formation with one hand on the ground. Instantly, a formation arose, creating an image of mist locking the sky.

With one hand pointing towards the sky, several lightning dragons fell onto a jade-like, smooth palm, yet they couldn't shake it in the slightest, breaking apart into rain-like sparks of electricity.

The white monastic robes glowed with golden light, and within the strands of thread, the sound of chanting arose, growing louder and louder. The electric sparks all dissipated in this vast chanting, losing all their killing intent and turning into pure lightning essence.

Everyone regained their lives because Master Huili had already flown towards the outer realms, going to the starry sky to undergo his tribulation. The tribulation clouds covering the sky followed him away.

And the formation that the Buddha-Lord casually set up on the ground also sheltered them, preventing a second lightning strike from descending.

"A Heaven-Deceiving Formation?" Crown Prince Xiang Yufei, with his vast knowledge, immediately recognized the origin of this great formation; otherwise, it would have been impossible to help them eliminate the deadly tribulation during the lightning tribulation.

Subsequently, he bowed towards Luo Mo, lowering his head sincerely, "Thank you, Buddha-Lord, for the grace of saving my life!"

"Thank you, Buddha-Lord, for the grace of saving our lives."

The others who had been rescued also thanked him sincerely, many still in shock.

"It was caused by me, so it is only right that I save you."

"We still have to thank the Master; otherwise, we wouldn't have seen such a wonderful scene."

"Indeed, the Great Tribulation of becoming a Saint, how rare! We are fortunate enough to witness it today."

"I wonder if Master Huili can survive his great tribulation."

Luo Mo looked towards the starry sky, his eyes reflecting the image of Huili undergoing his tribulation. Then, he waved his hand, creating a projection of magical power in the void.

In the projection, boundless seas of lightning and asteroid-like thunder continuously fell. Huili constantly resisted within, using various methods to fight against the lightning.

Initially, it was very difficult; his body was shattered several times. After all, his foundation wasn't that great before this.

The crowd watched with trepidation, especially Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Crown Prince Xiang Yufei, who were determined to walk the path of cultivation, staring intently, knowing that one day, they would also undergo such a great tribulation!

The monks of Lingyin Temple were even more anxious; their abbot was undergoing the Great Tribulation of becoming a Saint. If he succeeded, the sky would be the limit, and he could immediately become a Buddha.

But if he failed, there would only be one outcome: death and the dissolution of his Dao. Undergoing a tribulation is not something one can simply give up on.

Huili looked very miserable, shattered by various kinds of lightning time and time again. Initially, he could quickly repair his body, but as the lightning became stronger and denser, he gradually became unable to support himself, his injured body unable to heal, and blood splattered across the starry sky.

However, as Huili was shattered again and again, his bones and flesh separated, and blood sprinkled across the starry sky, gradually, runes shone within his flesh and blood. The Buddhist teachings that the Buddha-Lord had demonstrated to him were gradually absorbed by him. Under the Heavenly Tribulation, within the sea of lightning, using lightning as fire, he melted those Buddhist teachings that had flashed before his eyes, according to his own understanding, into his own Dao.

It was as if gasoline had been poured into a stove burning firewood. Huili reunited his true body, circulated the Buddhist teachings, and actually took the initiative to guide the power of the Heavenly Tribulation's lightning to engulf himself. Then, a red light of Buddhist salvation erupted, making it impossible for even Luo Mo's projection to see clearly.

But then, the world was at peace, and the starry sky was serene.

Heavenly Tribulations are always like this, coming quickly and leaving quickly.

Huili stood in the starry sky, his whole body emitting a glittering spiritual light, absorbing the essence of all directions, sorting out what he had gained from the tribulation, as well as his Dao, his Dharma, and the things he had transformed from the Buddha-Lord, achieving his path to Sainthood.

"Did he succeed?"

"Did we witness the birth of a Saint with our own eyes?"

"Becoming a Saint on the spot!"

The audience on the Great Radiance Universal Salvation ship exclaimed in amazement.

"The Abbot has successfully passed the tribulation!"

"The Abbot has become a Buddha!"

"From now on, an additional Buddha statue will be enshrined within the Buddhist hall of my Lingyin Temple, and an additional Buddhist scripture will be passed down!"

Becoming a Saint, in the Buddhist realm, is the position of Buddha, one can have their own Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist teachings passed down. And today, in this post-Desolate Era, Master Huili, the abbot of Lingyin Temple, achieved the Fruition of Buddhahood.

Before long, Huili returned from the starry sky, the Buddhist light and starlight intertwining, like a ribbon winding down from the sky.

This was the grandeur of a Saint's departure and return.

"Disciple Huili pays respects to the Buddha-Lord." He directly performed a great salute, which surprised Xiang Yufei and the others beside Luo Mo.

Others didn't know because their cultivation was insufficient, and they hadn't understood it before, but the Great Saint Wei Yi on the treasure ship understood.

Those Buddhist teachings were extremely profound and subtle mysteries. When Huili was undergoing his tribulation, he borrowed some of the profound meanings of these Buddhist teachings and transformed them into his own Dao, which allowed him to reshape his true body and become a Saint in one fell swoop!

Therefore, it was not inappropriate to perform the disciple's salute. Although he had not formally become a disciple, he deserved such respect simply for learning such exquisite Buddhist teachings from the other party.

… …

The Great Peacock Bright King's silvery face showed a hint of coldness, her beautiful eyes pondering something.

Beside her was an old monk, whose power was second only to hers. Even the abbot of the Great Thunderclap Temple and others had to attend to him.

This was the Maha Ancient Buddha. To become an Ancient Buddha meant that he was a Great Saint-level figure among cultivators, but because he had a dispute with that monkey, he was suppressed by the monkey for two thousand years and had only just been released.

Regarding this point, he should thank Xiao Yan.

At this time, the Great Thunderclap Temple was watching the live broadcast.

Because the more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt, and the easier it was to scare themselves, they immediately dispatched Buddhist disciples to quickly go to Yaoguang through the domain gate to purchase live broadcast equipment—that is, an altar. With a little arrangement, they connected to the Da Luo Realm channel.

Then, the two Great Saints, several Saints, and several Half-Saints of the Great Thunderclap Temple watched the entire process of Lingyin Temple's discussion of the Dharma and Huili's tribulation.

Maha Ancient Buddha's face was gloomy, "Great Peacock Bright King, what do you think of this person?"

The Great Peacock Bright King did not have much respect for this old monk who had been beaten by the monkey, suppressed by the monkey for two thousand years, and whose cultivation was inferior to her.

She snorted coldly and smiled, "I am very interested in his Buddhist teachings. It would be great if I could watch it live."

"… …"

Maha Ancient Buddha's face twitched slightly. Now, he felt that this foreign aid was very unreliable!

Although he also wanted to go to the scene to see the Buddha-Lord expounding the Dharma, after all, everyone has a heart for pursuing the Dao.

Moreover, those Buddhist teachings were extremely profound, and each one seemed to be no less than the Six-Syllable Mantra, and the Buddha-Lord had demonstrated twenty-nine kinds of them.

This was just what the Buddha-Lord had demonstrated. Heaven knows how much more he had in store, after all, ordinary cultivators would think about keeping some trump cards.

Such an unfathomable figure, coming to the Western Desert with that Source Master who could kill a top Saint King, couldn't help but make people think.

The Source Master was not scary to Maha Ancient Buddha, the Saint King was still a great realm away from his Great Saint status.

But behind the Source Master was Dongfang Taiyi, the Great Saint who was said to have stepped into the Divine Forbidden Zone, a peerless powerhouse who cultivated both the Taiyin and Sun Emperor Sutras in ancient times.

Adding to that, on the Buddha-Lord's ship, there was also another human Great Saint who had tested the Great Peacock Bright King, as well as the Yaoguang Holy Land, who also came along for some reason and possessed the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron Emperor Weapon… This is not good!

Why did he have to face this mess just after he was freed from under the monkey's butt?
