I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The Six Syllable Mantra of Buddhism, Om Mani Padme Hum. Currently, Luo Mo has visited all but the 'Om' syllable sound located on Mount Sumeru.

The 'Om' syllable sound appeared in the original work. Ku Ci obtained it from Mount Sumeru. Luo Mo speculated that Mount Sumeru exchanged it for his successor in this life, the Western Bodhisattva Jue Youqing, and others.

The 'Om' syllable sound enhances combat power and is the supreme sound attack magic of Buddhism.

The 'Ma' syllable sound illuminates the primal spirit. All things have spirituality. If properly utilized, it can provide some assistance. For example, Luo Mo feels that if he combines Source Art with the 'Ma' syllable sound, he can transform a piece of divine soil into a special Mountain God, Earth God, River God, or similar existence. Its combat power would likely be no less than that of a Great Completion King.

The 'Ni' syllable sound focuses on spiritual thoughts, also known as the Great Dream Heart Sutra. Amitabha the Great Emperor established the Great Buddha Heaven Bodhisattva Realm based on Mount Sumeru, inspired by this syllable sound. Luo Mo's nine-layered world in the Godscar Violet Gold Pagoda imitates the Great Buddha Heaven Bodhisattva Realm of Mount Sumeru, so he is already familiar with this syllable.

The 'Ba' syllable sound gathers the secret power of the origin of heaven and earth, enhances boundless power, and can also transform into a formation, forming a boundless starry sea, trapping people within.

The 'Mi' syllable sound molds the golden body. Those who cultivate it possess a Buddhist heart and golden blood, which can break evil and are immune to all laws.

The 'Hum' syllable sound represents Nirvana and transformation.

Om Mani Padme Hum, the Six Syllable Mantra, only lacks the last one to be complete.

"Indeed, the Six Syllable Mantra was created by one person."

The five Buddhist syllables shine in Luo Mo's palm, seeming to condense into a Six Syllable Mantra talisman, but it remains incomplete due to the lack of one syllable.

The 'Ba' syllable sound is the center of the Six Syllable Mantra. It condenses a formation within this small talisman, coordinating the power of the other Buddhist syllables. The 'Mi' syllable sound, which molds the golden body, emits an indestructible aura, becoming the real carrier of this Six Syllable Mantra talisman. Golden essence flows and materializes, but it cannot be finalized due to the lack of the first 'Om' syllable.

Luo Mo takes this incomplete Six Syllable Mantra talisman into his sea of consciousness, refining each Buddhist syllable one by one. Using the runes as the foundation, the great formation as the bones, and filling them with essence, he transforms them into supreme divine power-level abilities.

Then, he peels them off one by one and places them in the 'Sea of Divine Powers' in his sea of consciousness, floating with thousands of other Buddhist divine powers.

Luo Mo stayed at the Guiyuan Temple, leaving a message: "Going to Mount Sumeru in a month."

During this time, he thoroughly read the Guiyuan Temple's scriptures, looking at every secret technique, whether created by ancient Buddhas or incomplete, without any discrimination.

In these few days, Qingye had initially mastered the Salvation Sutra. As Luo Mo said, insufficient foundation was indeed the problem limiting the Guiyuan Temple monks from cultivating the 'Hum' syllable sound.

But with the Salvation Sutra, this problem has been solved.

However, pure Yang pills have become a new problem. After all, pure Yang pills are the most suitable resources. Therefore, he could only turn to the Source Heaven Sect and the Yaoguang Holy Land, the two major forces that possessed pure Yang pills.

"We understand what Master means. You want pure Yang pills, which is both difficult and easy," Jiang Li always seemed easy to talk to. After all, he had the lowest cultivation here. The Source Art incarnation was a Saint King-level expert, Zen Master Qingye had just become a Saint, leaving him as a small King.

"Where lies the difficulty?" Zen Master Qingye asked.

Jiang Li shook his head and said, "Master wants pure Yang pills, which is naturally easy. I can send Master 100,000 pills."

100,000 pills?!

Even though Zen Master Qingye had become a Saint, he couldn't help but be shocked by this number. This number was enough to hire several Dao-severing Kings to work for hundreds of years.

"Is this true?"

"Naturally, it's not a lie." Jiang Li took out a jade box with a hidden space inside. Qingye guessed that it should contain 100,000 pure Yang pills.

But when he probed with his spiritual sense, he saw not only 100,000 pure Yang pills, but also Vitality Pills refined with the Spring of Life, which were useful even for Sendai cultivators and could quickly heal injuries.

There was also Earth Treasury Golden Body Liquid, Bing Fire Thunder Marsh Pill, Yi Wood Transformation Spirit Juice, and other famous foundation-building treasures of the Great Luo Realm, especially suitable for cultivators to use for foundation building. Even ordinary people could use them to rival ordinary geniuses. There were dozens of portions of each of these treasures!

If these were used to nurture disciples, why would my Guiyuan Temple worry about not prospering?

"Holy Lord Yaoguang, this is...?"

He felt that there must be a requirement.

"Buddha Venerable is comprehending the Dao and needs your cooperation," Jiang Li said.

The Source Art incarnation remained aloof, letting him speak.

"Comprehending the Dao? How should I cooperate?"

"The path that Buddha Venerable cultivates is karma, related to the fate in the dark, mysterious and profound. You only need to lead the monks of Guiyuan Temple to join the Dao Alliance and change the fate of the beings in a region."

"?"

Change the fate of all beings?

Qingye didn't quite understand. Should he say it was indeed mysterious and profound?

Knowing that he didn't understand, Jiang Li said again: "Besides Amitabha, you can worship any Buddha. The Buddhist tribulation will arise because of him, and the lives of all beings will die in vain because of him."

Qingye was shocked and asked, "Why will the lives of all beings die in vain because of the Buddha?"

"Becoming immortal," the Source Art incarnation, who had been silent all along, also spoke.

"Becoming immortal?!"

"Amitabha the Great Emperor left behind a contingency plan, which is the accumulated power of faith gathered in the Western Desert over the past 300,000 years. He wants to use this power of faith to create a faith body and break into the Immortal Ascension Road!"

Qingye was shocked. He didn't expect that he would witness so many secrets just after becoming a Saint.

"But how can a supreme being of the mortal realm rashly attack and break the Immortal Ascension Road? It will only send the lives of hundreds of millions of creatures in the Western Desert to their deaths in vain."

At this time, Luo Mo appeared, his white Buddhist robes spotless, walking in, and everything around him became bright, without a trace of haze.

Behind him, there were also several people following.

Qingye took a look, and ho, they were all old acquaintances.

Ku Ci of Lantuo Temple.

Yuanjue of Shenxia Temple.

Huaixu of Xuankong Temple.

Huili of Lingyin Temple.

"Greetings, Buddha Venerable," Qingye hurriedly saluted, then looked at the abbots of the other ancient temples, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

They have all become Buddhas, can mold their bodies and establish images, enjoy incense offerings, and walk out of the Western Desert, also being Saints in the cultivation world, respected by all cultivators.

"How do you brothers have time to come here today?"

"We have all come for Your Excellency."

Qingye asked again, "Then what do you think?"

What did they think about Amitabha the Great Emperor's contingency plan?

These people's eyes were calm, obviously they had already communicated. In fact, this was the case. After becoming a Saint, Huili found the other people and, after discussion, finally decided to seize this opportunity.

After all, they were following not others, but a supreme figure in Buddhism!

Others still had doubts, but Huili directly told them what he saw.

For a person without the Five Great Secret Realms to be able to demonstrate so many techniques, it was beyond ordinary explanation.

Moreover, they might not trust rumors, but they could look at the two famous figures following the Buddha: the Yuantian Sect Leader and the Yaoguang Holy Master.

These two wouldn't offer courtesy for no reason. With their status, they wouldn't casually follow others. They were both unparalleled geniuses, leading figures among the younger generation. Would they follow a Buddhist disciple who hadn't even become a Saint?

Once people start overthinking, it's hard to stop, because more and more unexplainable things will appear.

In addition, the Demon Saint Palace could testify that the day after the Demon God returned, the demon and ancient races comprehensively shrank their forces bordering the Western Desert, living in seclusion, seemingly afraid of any conflict with Western Desert cultivators.

How vast was the combined power of the demon and ancient races?

Yet they were backing down?

This indirectly confirmed the terror of the Buddha's identity. The rumors should be more than just rumors.

Therefore, they came here.

"We believe that we shouldn't let the billions of living beings in the Western Desert suffer."

"The Buddha has a compassionate heart. Since we cultivate Buddhism, we should save billions of living beings."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Several masters have great wisdom, great courage, and great compassion. After this is done, the merits will be immeasurable. This gift is a token of my appreciation."

He took out several jade boxes, the same specifications as the one given to Zen Master Qingye.

The masters took them and, upon scanning with their divine senses, immediately understood and beamed with joy.

"Thank you, Benefactor Jiang."

The Source Art incarnation also said, "Cultivation is arduous and should have the help of heaven and earth. My Source Art lineage has some insights into this. These will be a greeting gift for everyone joining the Dao Alliance."

He took out several jade bowls, inside which were microscopic landscapes.

Each one was different. Although the mountains and rivers were microscopic, they contained the mysteries of heaven and earth. Each was a unique terrain, a rare divine soil in the world.

The microscopic landscapes in these jade bowls had rich heaven and earth essence. When divine sense probed into them, one could sense a vast world.

Inside were pavilions and towers, arranged according to the nodes of a great formation, obviously prepared for cultivators to cultivate in.

"This is… a Source Artifact?"

Ku Ci's eyes lit up, but he didn't take it.

The others didn't take it either, because some things hadn't been clarified yet, and they didn't dare to join the Dao Alliance rashly.

"That's right, this is a Source Artifact specially for nurturing younger disciples. It's greatly beneficial for cultivators who haven't severed the Dao to cultivate within it."

The reward issued by the Source Art incarnation hadn't been withdrawn, so more and more divine soil was being found. Since he didn't refine pure Yang Source Artifacts much, he refined some ordinary Source Artifacts, which were portable cultivation facilities.

"I've long heard of the Yuantian Master's methods. Seeing it today is truly extraordinary, able to confine a vast divine soil within a magic treasure."

"This old monk thanks you here."

"Thank you, Sect Leader Luo, for the reward."

The Yuantian Sect Leader's identity was a Saint King, and they didn't dare to act presumptuously. Although they were much older, the cultivation world always valued cultivation level over age.

By accepting these gifts, they were indicating their willingness to join the Dao Alliance and break away from the Sumeru Mountain Great Thunderclap Temple.

Zen Master Qingye liked the gift he received very much, after all, there were so many pills and a Source Artifact.

But he couldn't let the gifts cloud his judgment. He wasn't named Qiu after all.

He and the others exchanged glances, and then asked, "But if the Great Thunderclap Temple is stubborn, what should we do?"

"Stubborn?"

Luo Mo's true form waved his hand and sprinkled a piece of Dao pattern. A terrifying aura began to permeate, causing the masters' Buddhist bones to tremble.

What a powerful aura!

What is it, an Emperor Weapon?

"If they are really stubborn, I will deal with Amitabha's faith body."

Jiang Li's incarnation chuckled, "We'll take care of the rest."

He raised his hand, and a dark cauldron bloomed with a wisp of power that crushed the heavens. The dragon patterns seemed to be roaring in anger, silent but shaking the soul!

"Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron!" The old monks exclaimed.

The Source Art incarnation didn't smile, but a black light surged from his brow, turning into an ancient pottery pot suspended above his head. The pot's curves were as graceful as a woman's figure, but it exuded an astonishing power.

If it hadn't been directed at them, Zen Master Qingye, the weakest here, would probably have knelt down and kowtowed.

On the pottery pot, a ghost face mark, seemingly crying yet laughing, was staring at them. Although it was terrifying, it gave them great confidence at this time.

"Devouring Heaven Demon Pot!" The old monks exclaimed again.

They looked at each other and then nodded.

"For the billions of living beings in the Western Desert, this old monk will risk it all!" Abbot Huai Xu of the Suspended Temple said a pompous and insincere sentence, and then happily took the jade box, and picked a Source Artifact he liked.

"Thank you, Holy Master Jiang, for the generous gift, Sect Leader Luo for the reward."

"This old monk, on behalf of the disciples in the temple, thanks you."

Yuanjue also quickly picked a Source Artifact, after all, the Source Artifacts looked similar, but the divine soil had slight differences in quality.

There were only five in total, first come first served.

"Thank Holy Master Jiang, thank Sect Leader Luo for the reward. From now on, our temple will be of one heart with the Dao Alliance."

The Yuantian Sect Leader's identity was a Saint King, and they didn't dare to act presumptuously. Although they were much older, the cultivation world always valued cultivation level over age.

By accepting these gifts, they were indicating their willingness to join the Dao Alliance and break away from the Sumeru Mountain Great Thunderclap Temple.

There was really no way. Not only was there an unfathomable Buddha, but the Yuantian Sect Leader and the Yaoguang Holy Master also came with Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons. Compared to this, did the Great Thunderclap Temple still have a chance of winning?

The Buddha said he would deal with Amitabha the Great Emperor's faith body, so could the remaining people defeat their two Emperor Weapons?

It seems that the Western Desert is about to undergo a major change.

Meanwhile, in the Demon God Palace:

Xiao Yan warmly welcomed the princes and princesses of the ancient imperial families, as well as the Great Saints of their clans.

This time, under the pretext of the Fighting Saint King's return, Xiao Yan summoned several imperial families to gather in the Demon God Palace, preparing to sharpen their knives at Kun Zhou.

Kun Zhou had a good relationship with some ancient races, and also had relationships with some ancient imperial families, so it was necessary to inform them in advance that when the Fighting Saint King killed Kun Zhou, others should not participate, especially not to lend out ancient imperial weapons.

The old monkey didn't have any objections to this. Although he was confident that he could kill the opponent even if they held an ancient imperial weapon, he was willing to accept this favor in order to reduce trouble and avoid more hatred.

The storm is coming.

Several imperial families communicated and began to stand aloof from the matter. The monkey sharpened his staff, waiting for Kun Zhou to appear.

After all, he was a Great Saint, and his whereabouts were difficult to track, able to step out of an ancient star in one step. But Kun Zhou's clansmen were still there, and he would always come back. When he returned, it would be a great battle.

This was also the reason why the ancient and demon races had been shrinking their forces during this period, unwilling to cause trouble.

At the same time, it was also to concentrate the younger generation of the ancient and demon races for exchanges. After all, they would have to challenge the younger generation of the human race selected at the Dao Alliance Martial Arts Gathering. No matter how confident they were, they couldn't do without training.

Xiao Yan suppressed his cultivation to the same level as them and beat them all up, and they obediently cultivated on their own.

The Holy Prince was very happy to see so many young ancient imperial princes and princesses gathered together, with new opponents to change every day.
