Shennong Sequence

Chapter 412 The True Meaning of the Ancient Buddha: Obtaining the Origin and Analyzing the Mysterious Body!

Just as the blurry Buddha figure lowered its head and gazed down at the countless unclean believers who were crawling on the ground like flies and maggots, twisting and howling, the black mist suddenly solidified and finally transformed into a broken golden Buddha that was ten feet tall and connected to the body of an unclean mortal. Half of the Buddha's face was a compassionate Buddha, and the other half was a degenerate person with blood flowing from its seven orifices and fangs, who was unrepentant!
“Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk ‘Impermanent Tathagata’ once listened to the ancient Buddha preach the true meaning of ‘impermanence of all things’. All things in this world are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, constantly changing and changing in an instant… Whether it is the birth, old age, sickness, and death of sentient beings, the formation, existence, decay, and emptiness of mountains and rivers, or the arising, existence, change, and extinction of thoughts, none of them are manifestations of impermanence.”

This 'impermanence' is like a sharp blade hanging high, witnessing all beings' illusory attachment to permanence and unchanging nature.

Seeing that your thoughts are filled with confusion, I humbly ask why you don't abandon the path and cultivate Buddhism... I can transform myself into a boat to help you cross the endless sea of ​​suffering, reach the other shore of bliss, and enjoy ultimate happiness!

Zhao Yun did not stop 'Impermanent Tathagata's Thoughts' from speaking, but he also did not continue speaking according to 'Impermanent Tathagata's Thoughts's words.
Instead, following the strange instructions on how to stop the 'impermanent Buddha thought' commonly found in the esoteric realm from entangled with him, he directly asked: "Has this humble monk truly crossed the sea of ​​suffering? Has he truly seen the carefree Buddha land on the other shore? Can he truly see the ancient Buddha again in his dreams? All of that is impossible, isn't it? Now, you are the greatest impermanent delusion between you and me!"

The eerie, chilling aura suddenly dissipated, rapidly spreading outwards. Wherever it passed, the blooming spiritual flowers within this divine spiritual realm withered instantly, and the verdant vegetation turned charred black...

Immediately, the figure of 'Impermanence Tathagata' dimmed, no longer entangled with Zhao Yun before it, and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Suddenly crashing into something ten meters away, that was due to a bizarre skill: Black Fiend Wind!
"Certainly!"

Just as the 'Impermanent Tathagata Thought' was about to unleash its fury, Zhao Yun let out a soft utterance, and the heavens and earth of the divine spiritual realm responded accordingly. The binding force in the surrounding space surged in like a tide, transforming into invisible chains that entangled the 'Impermanent Tathagata Thought' in a strange manner.

Its savage form, poised to wreak havoc on all life before it, was frozen in mid-air... like a painting whose pause button had been pressed.

"Those Buddhists in the Secret Realm, although they have accumulated some methods to resist strange rules, are still no match for the absolute power of my divine spiritual realm!"

Zhao Yun flicked his finger, sending out a golden light that carried the power to restrain and burn away evil spirits. As it brushed against the strange soul of the 'Impermanent Tathagata Thought', a sizzling sound was heard, and the strange soul emitted puffs of black smoke, just like a piece of paper that had been set ablaze.

This made Zhao Yun somewhat emotional, and he recalled the strange encounter he had a year ago when he ravaged the Wuyang Garrison.

In the year or so that followed, the eerie thing only brushed past me once in the Dragon Beast Small World, and I never saw it again.

Therefore, the source points he possessed were the same ones he initially picked up in that garrison, which he had been reluctant to use and thus had remained until now.

Now, when this golden light spell swept over the strange soul of the 'Impermanent Tathagata Thought', the soul broke open in the golden light, leaving a small hole emitting black smoke. It struggled painfully and twisted, emitting a mournful Buddhist tremor and wail.

Then, a gray ball of light quietly condensed from beneath the strange soul of the 'Impermanent Tathagata Thought'!
Although it resembled an inconspicuous speck of dust, it exerted a strange attraction on Zhao Yun.

The yellow cloth in his sea of ​​consciousness also shimmered with a faint light, prompting him to pick up the tiny bit of origin point that had just been condensed!

After picking them up, the number of Source Points increased by one: [Source: 30 → 31 points]

However, this is far inferior to the dozen or so source points that were condensed at once when that strange creature was injured in the garrison!

Of course, that strange occurrence back then really kept the entire garrison on edge.
The current strange phenomenon of the "Impermanent Tathagata Thought" is that, although it is disguised as a matter of listening to the ancient Buddha's teaching on the true meaning of "all things are impermanent," even ordinary Buddhist practitioners in the esoteric realm, once they know the rules of its operation, can ensure their own safety and retreat unscathed. At most, it can only bully some outsiders who do not know the rules...

It certainly can't be considered strong.

In addition,

The realm of the Divine Spirit Domain has expanded to a range of hundreds of miles... even smaller realms are not as large as the Divine Spirit Domain. Therefore, when the power of the realm accumulated within the Divine Spirit Domain is fully utilized, the combat power of a single being within the Divine Spirit Domain, unless it is exceptionally outrageous enough to pierce through the void, can be easily sealed by the spacetime surrounding its body.

Of course, those above Sequence Five are a different story... because in that realm, the essence of life will evolve once again!

Perhaps, a single thought could break free from the shackles of this spiritual power.

This is similar to the ultimate attack of the Conquest War Puppet in Sequence 5: 'Dragon Emperor Scorching Sun Annihilation Cannon'. One shot can destroy a small secret realm or a small domain!
In other words, once the fifth-order war puppet is fully powered and activated, it can quickly destroy a vast divine spiritual domain spanning hundreds of miles!

Of course, destruction is easy, but construction is difficult.

The difficulty of constructing a divine spiritual realm is no less than that of constructing a fifth-order conquest war puppet.

Each has its own characteristics and auxiliary functions...

Therefore, this 'Impermanent Tathagata Thought' that could be imprisoned by the divine spiritual domain in that instant was naturally very weak.

In addition to obtaining the Origin Point, Zhao Yun also wanted to study the differences between these strange creatures and the ghosts he had seen before.

After all, when the two appeared, there were always gusts of cold wind that chilled people to the bone.

Moreover, the wailing and roaring of ghosts can cause ordinary people to lose their composure and fall into boundless fear.

Furthermore, there are some connections between the two, such as both being in the state of souls, without physical form, yet capable of influencing reality...

Therefore, when Zhao Yun used the power of the divine spiritual domain, along with the reincarnation intent emanating from the reincarnation immortal array contained in the reincarnation pearl solidified with the help of True Lord Longze, to enhance the material transformation method and analyze the strange soul, he discovered some differences.

Humans have three souls and seven spirits.

After death, the seven souls dissipate and dissipate as the body decays. The celestial soul returns to heaven, the terrestrial soul reincarnates, and the human soul lingers around the present body, transforming into obsessions, etc.
Therefore, ghosts are either human souls clinging to their memories, or earthly souls that cannot be reincarnated and remain in the mortal world.

Furthermore, the divine nature of the mountain god within Zhao Yun's sea of ​​consciousness is refining his seven souls, laying a solid foundation for his cultivation at the seventh level of the Sequence Realm.

Therefore, Zhao Yun was quite familiar with the situation among these ghosts.

But the problem now is that when using the power of the realm to study this strange 'impermanent Tathagata thought' that he forcibly controlled, something is amiss.

Inside the body of this eerie thing,
It possesses not only the earth soul, but also the human soul and the heaven soul, making it a complete set of three souls!

Furthermore, within this strange body, there are numerous other beings whose seven souls are not merely those of a single being. They are like countless resentful thoughts, twisted and intertwined into countless threads, creating a chaotic and tangled mess!
These three pure souls, combined with countless chaotic seven spirits, created a strange and bizarre situation...
