I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The deck of the Great Light Universal Salvation Ship was as vast as a city. Even tens of thousands of cultivators scattered across it didn't feel crowded. Moreover, some of the entertainment and rest facilities on the ship were open to them. Disciples of the Jade Radiance Holy Land had already begun providing professional guidance to the new disciples who had joined the Buddha's banner. In terms of making money, the Jade Radiance Holy Land truly had a firm grasp.

"Have you heard? The Buddha might be the reincarnation of a Supreme!"

"I know, the news has spread everywhere."

"A friend of mine in the Buddhist sect also told me that when Xiao Yan of the Demon God Palace tried to deduce the Buddha's origins, he was almost devoured by a backlash. In the end, the ancient clans didn't even make a sound and left in disgrace."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, it's all over the Great Firmament World. There are even images, I'll send them to you."

The cultivators on the ship chatted amongst themselves. As they transmitted the real-time updates of the Buddha's challenge to the ancient temples of the Western Desert, an explosive piece of news suddenly spread from the Great Firmament World.

The source of the news was the monks who had just established the Great Firmament World altar in the Buddhist sect. Some had heard it, some had seen it with their own eyes, and they spread the news they knew in the network world of the Great Firmament World.

Xiao Yan of the Demon God Palace, along with a large group of ancient clans and the Holy Prince, went to Mount Sumeru to welcome back the Fighting Victory Buddha. The Fighting Victory Buddha was formerly the Fighting Saint King of the ancient clans, a Great Saint, and the younger brother of an ancient Emperor. It is said that he also possesses the ancient Emperor's weapon of the Fighting Saint Emperor.

Originally, everyone wouldn't have cared about just this piece of news, after all, it was a matter for the ancient clans.

But then, a bombshell was dropped.

First, the Demon God Xiao Yan was indeed injured because he deduced the Buddha's origins.

Second, the Buddha is the reincarnation of some great figure.

Regarding the second point, the people on the Great Light Universal Salvation Ship had long suspected it.

No other reason than the fact that the Buddha Huili, who had already passed the Saint Tribulation, treated the Buddha with the respect of a disciple.

"I was able to pass this tribulation thanks to the Supreme's instruction of the supreme Buddhist Dharma. Only then was I able to comprehend the true meaning of the Buddhist Dharma during the tribulation and achieve the Buddha fruit position."

At this moment, Huili highly praised the Buddha's Dharma, because he could see that this Buddha was definitely not an ordinary person.

Before, he didn't think much of it, only assuming that the Buddha had mastered many secret techniques.

But now, after becoming a Buddha and entering a new stage in his cultivation, when he looked at the Buddha again, he was surprised to discover—

The Buddha actually had no Wheel Sea!

Nor a Dao Palace!

The four limbs, the four extremes, the great dragon of the human body, had not even opened up the secret realms!

Ah, this…

Only the head had a mysterious existence, but it was not the Immortal Altar secret realm, but a peculiar existence that opened up the Sea of Consciousness, faintly containing endless Buddha light and chanting.

Huili didn't understand this situation for a moment, only thinking that his cultivation was shallow.

But no matter how shallow, it was impossible not to be able to see whether others had cultivated the human body secret realms, right? Moreover, the Buddha didn't hide it at all. All his mysteries were hidden in his Sea of Consciousness between his eyebrows, and there were no hidden places elsewhere.

That place seemed to have a world of its own, but it was not something Huili could see through.

A cultivator without the five great secret realms of the Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Altar?

According to common sense, this was not a cultivator at all, but could someone who was not a cultivator continuously defeat so many ancient temples?

Thinking carefully, Huili only felt that the Buddha was becoming more and more unfathomable.

As for Huili, Luo Mo had nothing else to teach him. Being able to personally see Luo Mo demonstrate twenty-nine types of the Buddhist Three Thousand Great Daos was his greatest opportunity. What he could comprehend from it depended on his own good fortune.

When the Great Light Universal Salvation Ship set sail again, the news arrived late, reaching Lingyin Temple.

Huili heard the disciples in the temple talk about what happened on Mount Sumeru. This was their connection to Lingyin Temple, so the news should not be false.

But precisely because of this, he was even more surprised.

The Buddha is the reincarnation of an ancient Buddha?

That was not impossible, and in this case, things could be explained. Otherwise, how could the Buddha possess so many supreme Buddhist Dharmas?

The ancient temples that mastered several types of Buddha's Heavenly Sounds had never believed that Amitabha the Great Emperor was the only one who attained Dao through Buddhist Dharma, because the ancient history was buried, and they could not know whether there were other glorious Buddhist lineages in that era, or whether there were Buddhist Supremes.

Because their Buddha's Heavenly Sounds were so powerful that they could not be compared to ordinary secret techniques. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were forbidden-level secret techniques of ancient Emperors.

But because the inheritance was too ancient, they had long lost their origins, making it impossible for them to know whether there were other Buddhist Dao attainers in the distant ancient times, or whether the Six-Syllable True Words Heavenly Sounds were the inheritance of ancient Buddhist Supremes.

And now, the appearance of the Buddha seemed to corroborate this point.

"Buddha, Your…"

So that's how it is.

Huili looked in the direction where the Great Light Universal Salvation Ship flew away, remained silent for a long time, and then ordered: "Send someone to visit the other ancient temples that the Supreme has visited, and invite several abbots to come to my Lingyin Temple for a discussion."

Before this, Lingyin Temple had been paying attention to the Buddha's movements, so they were relatively clear about all aspects of the news, including the fact that all the old friends of the previous ancient temples had gone into seclusion after competing with the Buddha.

Before, Huili didn't understand why they all had to go into seclusion, guessing that they might have felt ashamed and went into seclusion to avoid seeing guests.

But now that he thought about it, there seemed to be other hidden reasons.

However, the matter was simple, as long as they were found and asked, they would know.

"Yes, Abbot."

……

Returning Origin Temple.

This was the fifth ancient temple with the Buddhist Six-Syllable True Words Heavenly Sounds that Luo Mo came to, controlling the 'Hum' syllable Heavenly Sound.

The function of this 'Hum' syllable Heavenly Sound was somewhat ordinary for Luo Mo compared to other Heavenly Sounds, because it was said to be a secret technique with extremely strong restoration and healing power.

Restoration and healing?

This was indeed ordinary. Luo Mo had many similar secret techniques in his hands.

Someone once saw a monk from Returning Origin Temple being pierced through the Bitter Sea by a spear, and even the Dao Palace deity was beheaded. Logically, his Dao path was abolished, and he became a mortal, who could only spend the rest of his life dragging his crippled body.

But no one expected that this monk from Returning Origin Temple, who should have been abolished, would reappear in the world after a period of time, and his cultivation would even improve.

There were some such legends, but the 'Hum' syllable Heavenly Sound of Returning Origin Temple was rarely shown, and the secret technique of bandaging wounds in secret was not as conspicuous as attacking secret techniques.

Some people also speculated that the 'Hum' syllable Heavenly Sound could not be used in battle, but was a method of Nirvana rebirth.

As for the specific situation, it could be known with just a glance.

The Great Light Salvation ship slowly came to a halt, having reached its destination. At this moment, all the monks of the Guiyuan Temple were outside to greet them, hanging sutra banners, lighting golden lamps, picking lotus flowers, and everyone was dressed in fresh robes, each holding ritual implements, forming a welcoming procession, appearing to be reverently welcoming the arrival of an important figure.

An old monk in golden robes stood at the forefront, "This old monk leads all the disciples of Guiyuan Temple in welcoming the Buddha!"

Behind him, all the monks of Guiyuan Temple chanted in unison: "Welcome the Buddha!"

At this moment, Luo Mo thought of a joke related to France.

Was he about to arrive at his loyal Mount Sumeru?

Abbot Qingye of Guiyuan Temple warmly welcomed Luo Mo inside, allowing the Buddha to peruse the 'Om' sound and the books of the Guiyuan Temple's predecessors, only seeking guidance.

Other things were secondary; the most important thing for Qingye was to cross the chasm of becoming a Saint. He, like Huili and Ku Ci, had been stuck at this stage for too long.

Now, Huili had successfully broken through under the Buddha's guidance, passing the Tribulation of Becoming a Saint. Furthermore, with the important news from Mount Sumeru that the Buddha was a reincarnation of the ancient Buddhist Supreme!

With this, Abbot Qingye's mindset immediately changed.

Choosing between a deceased Supreme and a living Supreme was almost a no-brainer.

Moreover, by this time, many Buddhist cultivators had come to their senses.

Damn, no wonder Luo Mo, the leader of the Source Heaven Sect, and Jiang Li, the Holy Master of Yaoguang, were so eager to curry favor. Even you Taoist people who don't cultivate Buddhism, and those who cultivate Source Arts, are trying to get close. We Buddhists have no reason to lag behind, right?

Therefore, his attitude was warm, very warm.

This reminded Luo Mo of the monkey demon race he saw through the magical artifact with the True Spirit imprint when Xiao Yan's incarnation was there. They treated the Holy Prince in the same way.

Although not the same race, it was the same expression.

The 'Om' sound, when Luo Mo saw this Buddhist character, he realized that the second rumor in the cultivation world was correct.

The 'Om' sound is a Nirvana secret technique, and just like the 'All' secret of the Nine Secrets has great uncertainty in the early stages, it may not be triggered 100% of the time.

If the user's cultivation level is not high, the 'Om' sound may fail to achieve Nirvana.

Failure, of course, means death, but if successful, one will be reborn, and this Buddhist character can also repair Dao injuries. It is a divine artifact. The monks of Guiyuan Temple throughout the generations have speculated that the 'Om' sound may have been created by an ancient Buddhist power to repair Dao injuries.

Luo Mo didn't think so, after all, others see the 'Om' sound as a secret technique for Nirvana and transformation.

But from his perspective, this is an unparalleled method to transform oneself, sublimate the foundation of the Dao, and achieve a complete rebirth.

As for repairing injuries after Nirvana... that is a side effect, not the main function.

However, few later disciples of Guiyuan Temple were able to cultivate the 'Om' sound to a high level, leading many people to use it as a last resort to take a gamble.

Without the inheritance of the Emperor Scripture or special bloodline physique inheritance, the foundations of the Guiyuan Temple disciples are not enough for them to begin their first Nirvana. A rash Nirvana can easily lead to death, and the high mortality rate makes them afraid to try easily.

Historically, there have been several cases of successful Nirvana after severe injuries and near-death experiences. Luo Mo carefully read the records and believed that the users must have exhausted all means beforehand, taking various medicinal herbs and pills, etc., all to no avail before choosing the Nirvana path they considered the most dangerous.

But in reality, the medicinal power accumulated in the body from the various life-saving methods tried before became the fuel for Nirvana, helping them succeed.

In other words, the difficulty in practicing the 'Om' sound in Guiyuan Temple is due to a lack of resources?

After all, in most cases in this world, people only use precious medicines that are over ten thousand years old to prolong life, not for cultivation.

Therefore, throughout the long history, those who have been able to cultivate the 'Om' sound, apart from luck, are only some disciples with special physiques, and they must also dare to try.

"What a waste of a treasure mountain."

Luo Mo's sigh made Abbot Qingye confused.

"Please enlighten us, Buddha."

"The 'Om' sound is originally an unparalleled secret technique for Nirvana transformation and condensing the foundation of the Dao, but you have used it as the 'Fighter' secret of the Nine Secrets. You have really used it in the wrong place."

"Nirvana transformation, condensing the foundation of the Dao?" Qingye's eyes flickered. This guess was not without precedent, but the first step in cultivating the 'Om' sound is to extinguish one's own vitality. A slight carelessness will lead to death, with no chance of revival.

So dangerous, who would dare to cultivate it directly?

Unless forced to the point of no return, no one would dare to lightly try with their own life.

"However, the threshold for the 'Om' sound is extremely high. Unless one has a special physique at the level of a King Body, forced practice will only be counterproductive."

Qingye nodded. Guiyuan Temple does have this saying. The monks throughout the generations have left words that unless it is a genius with a special physique, they will not directly teach the 'Om' sound.

"However, this problem is easy to solve."

Abbot Qingye immediately bowed down, "Please instruct us, Buddha. Guiyuan Temple will be endlessly grateful and will build a golden statue for you to worship at all times!"

The greater the risk, the greater the reward.

Few have succeeded in cultivating the 'Om' sound, but if successful, an ordinary body can leap to a level comparable to those with special physiques.

If they can solve this shortcoming that makes it impossible to popularize, then Guiyuan Temple has hope of prosperity!

"I have a volume of scriptures for salvation, which can be used to save living beings and build a foundation, which will just make up for it." Luo Mo took out a stone Buddha.

"Salvation?"

Qingye was shocked, but his hands still honestly took the small, one-eyed stone Buddha.

Isn't this just killing people?

And this sounds somewhat like consuming the value of others to achieve oneself, which feels like demonic art and is not in line with the tenets of their Guiyuan Temple.

Luo Mo naturally knew what he was thinking, and then said, "Pure Yang Pills are a good thing, which can be substituted to avoid killing. The power of faith accumulated in the temple can also be used, but it can only strengthen the divine sense. Other heavenly treasures also have their effects, but most are not as comprehensive as Pure Yang Pills."

As Luo Mo said this, he took out some things.

A piece of Source, a bottle of Pure Yang Pills, and a pure power of wishes. Then, he performed the Great Salvation Technique, and the Buddha's eye emitted a red light, transforming these three things into three streams of light that entered Qingye's body.

Qingye could feel the effects of these three streams of light. The salvaged Source slightly improved the essence of his life.

The salvaged pure power of wishes, that stream of light merged into his divine sense, strengthening his divine sense slightly.

And the salvaged bottle of Pure Yang Pills was an all-encompassing power that merged into his body. Pure Yang Pills are a common power for immortals, demons, and monsters in Eternal Life, and are the most balanced for cultivation.

Qingye naturally felt the difference between these three powers, understanding that what the Buddha said was true, and Pure Yang Pills were indeed the most suitable resource.

He did not doubt this, because someone had already appraised it and believed that Pure Yang Pills were the best, most perfect, and most suitable pills for cultivators to take for a long time, with balanced effects.

So having this effect was not beyond his expectations.

It is always good to avoid killing, which is more suitable for their Buddhist cultivators.

"Good, good, thank you for your guidance, Buddha."
