Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 637: Great Merit and Universal Salvation Sutra

Under Ye Xuan's observation, the colorful skeleton absorbed all the Buddhist power of the two relics.

Immediately, a powerful soul power fluctuation appeared in its entire skeleton.

However, the thing that Ye Xuan was worried about, that the skeleton would come back to life, did not happen.

But...

Ripples appeared on the skeleton's forehead, and then, as Ye Xuan was alert, a golden book floated out from the skeleton's forehead and landed in front of Ye Xuan.

And then, the powerful soul power fluctuations of the skeleton disappeared, and calm was restored again.

"This is... the transmission of skills." Ye Xuan's heart moved and his eyes lit up.

I saw that the words "Great World Merit and Universal Salvation Sutra" were clearly written on the book.

This should be the secret Buddhist method that this great Buddhist monk left behind for his descendants before his death.

If Ye Xuan didn't have the two relics, he would never have been able to see this technique.

The Buddhist technique that could be passed down in such a way must be quite extraordinary.

Ye Xuan has always been curious about the secret methods of Buddhism, so he quickly took the book to look at it.

Golden Buddhist runes came into view. The strange thing was that Ye Xuan did not understand these Buddhist runes, but he could understand them instantly.

This is a mantra for universal salvation and a very advanced Tantric method. It is a secret mantra that collects the wishes of all sentient beings and can save them and purify their souls.

Ye Xuan involuntarily recited the secret words of the spell. His mind was completely calm and he entered a mysterious state. As the spell came out of his mouth, at this moment, a strange rhythm resonated between heaven and earth. A mysterious power emerged from heaven and earth and floated towards Ye Xuan.

After Ye Xuan recited the entire book, the book in his hand became transparent and disappeared completely.

Ye Xuan was surprised. He found that his mind was clearer than ever before, as if a gate to heaven had opened above his head, bringing him closer to this world.

"How can this be!?"

Suddenly, Ye Xuan exclaimed, and he also found that a second divine palace appeared in his mind.

Compared to the previous shrine, this one is ten times smaller. The entire wall of the shrine is covered with images of Buddhist deities, but the inside of the shrine is empty, with only a ray of colorful light twisting slightly.

Ye Xuan had never heard of that one person could open two divine palaces.

However, after inheriting the "Great World Merit and Universal Salvation Sutra", he vaguely realized that he should have just entered Buddhism and practiced Buddhism to form this Buddha's divine palace!
In other words, Ye Xuan is now practicing both Buddhism and magic!
This is a bit too much. Ye Xuan can't help but worry that these irreconcilable and mutually exclusive factions will riot in his body and burst.

However, I have to say that this "Great World Merit and Universal Salvation Sutra" is really powerful. I only recited it once, but it made my mind a lot clearer. Not only has my martial arts foundation become more solid, but my mental strength has also greatly increased and is about to advance again.

Moreover, "The Great World Merit and Universal Salvation Sutra" can not only sublimate one's own mind and remove inner demons, but its most domineering aspect, in Ye Xuan's opinion, is its ability to save and purify all living beings!

Ye Xuan looked at the colorful skeleton. At this moment, he finally knew what the colorful light on the skeleton was. It was the power of merit condensed by this Buddhist monk when he collected the original force of all living beings during his lifetime!
This power of merit has the same origin as the colorful light in his second divine palace.

Ye Xuan clasped his hands together and bowed to the skeleton like the Buddhist disciples.

"Master, I have no intention of offending you, but I can extract the power of merit from you, and I hope you can understand. If you agree, please give me some instructions. If you disagree, I..." Ye Xuan said.

If it were someone else, even a high-ranking Buddhist monk, who came here, he might not be able to extract the power of merit from the bones, but Ye Xuan was different. He could extract it through his reincarnation martial soul and integrate it into himself.

Of course, if the bones of this eminent monk do not express their opinion, Ye Xuan will not accept them.

"Come on, my fortune belongs to those who are destined to receive it. Since you can draw on my power of merit, it means you are my destined successor. Remember, my Buddhist name is Kong Jing. Send my ashes back to Jingfa Temple." Before Ye Xuan finished speaking, the colorful skeleton opened its mouth and spoke in human language.

Ye Xuan thought to himself that, as expected, although this Buddhist monk was dead, his remains still had will.

Ye Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Master, I am not a Buddhist, and I don't want to join the Buddhist sect."

Ye Xuan felt that he should make his words clear as he didn't want to deceive a dead person.

"Even if you want to join, I will not agree. You have too many bad karmas and too many emotional debts. Converting to Buddhism will only increase your karmas. I am passing on the Great Merit and Universal Salvation Sutra to you just to calm your evil body, so that you will not be controlled by evil thoughts in the future, fall into the devil's way forever, and harm the world."

Ye Xuan's heart trembled. He didn't expect that the skeleton of the great monk could see through his true nature.

The Buddha's teachings are truly boundless and cannot be compared to that boundless monk Wujie.

"I will accept you as my nominal disciple and grant you the Dharma name 'Jingshi'. If you want to convert to Buddhism in the future, you can come to the Buddhist world to find me, and I will accept you as my formal disciple." said the skeleton.

Ye Xuan was startled and asked, "Master, you are not dead?"

"Foolish boy, I have just passed away. Quickly extract the power of merit. Dharma should not be passed on to outsiders. I have given you the initiation of Buddha. Opening the door to Buddhism has already exhausted the Buddha power left in this body. It will soon turn to dust, and then the power of merit will return to heaven and earth again."

Ye Xuan took a deep breath. It turned out that this eminent monk had ascended to heaven.

It was not because I had a predestined relationship with Buddhism that I was able to understand the Buddhist text directly. It was because of the initiation given by this eminent monk.

Ye Xuan bowed and said, "Master, I am rude."

The golden reincarnation martial soul appeared in Ye Xuan's mind, and two golden light bands stretched out from Ye Xuan's eyebrows and extended into the bones. Suddenly, strands of colorful light were drawn out.

It is the power of merit!

"Foolish child, remember, the 'Great World Merit and Universal Salvation Sutra' can convert all living beings in the world, convert them to Buddhism, receive our teachings, and offer incense to us. Don't use this method on others lightly, so as not to increase the bad karma."

"Disciple, remember this!"

Gradually, Ye Xuan's body was covered with a layer of Buddha's light, like a real Buddha crossing the colorful clouds, and the Buddha's light illuminated the entire cave.

And Ye Xuan's ears were also ringing with solemn Buddhist secret mantras!
Under Ye Xuan's feet, a slowly rotating lotus platform of Buddha light appeared. Ye Xuan stood on it, and a Buddha halo appeared behind his head. He looked extremely solemn and dignified, like a high monk.

After a long time, when Ye Xuan opened his eyes again, the colorful skeleton had disappeared and turned into a pile of ashes. Instead, a colorful Buddha ball the size of a dragon eye appeared in Ye Xuan's second divine palace, which was the power of merit.

Ye Xuan only felt warm all over his body, and he looked holy and detached.

"You have been looking for a long time, it's time for you to come out." Ye Xuan suddenly said.
