Chapter 419 The Secret Sequel of the Five Aggregates and Three Souls
A five-colored egg formed by a person, a Buddha, and a cat hangs in mid-air.

The entire Leiyin Temple was affected.

When Daoist Duobao opened his eyes, he noticed that Leiyin Temple had become a large number of temple ruins, and the plaque in front of the gate was clearly engraved with the three characters "Wugou Temple".

"The sacred site of the Immaculate Buddha is actually influencing Leiyin Temple, as expected..."

"This person's plot against Shakyamuni was definitely intentional; it's just unknown whether it will lead to Shakyamuni's failure to attain enlightenment."

Duobao Daoist glanced at Yang He and pondered for a moment, realizing that he could not interfere with Yang He.

The conflict between the saints would be almost devastating for Leiyin Temple. If targeting Yang He led to an accident involving Shakyamuni, the destruction of Leiyin Temple would also result in their deaths and annihilation.

“He is too good at playing mind games. Even Randeng is no match for him, let alone me.”

"It seems I must be on good terms with Yang He in Buddhism from now on."

Daoist Duobao closed his eyes and continued to comprehend Buddhist teachings. At this point, whether he could survive was no longer something that a mere Great Luo Golden Immortal could control.

boom.

The five-colored egg shone brighter.

Bixiao regained consciousness and then processed Yang He's telepathic message.

"Brother."

She dared not neglect her duty and immediately stood by to protect him. Yang He had taken the fall for her, since Shakyamuni would suffer a backlash regardless of whether he attained enlightenment or not, and the Five-Colored Divine Light might not be able to withstand it.

The five-colored egg emitted a faint light, clearly Yang He responding to Bi Xiao.

Yang He was conscious and in a state similar to consuming the fruit and seed of the Dao. It seemed that he could comprehend all the Dharma teachings through the help of Shakyamuni.

He naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity, so he planned to perfect his three-headed, six-armed Dharma body.

With a little refinement, the three-headed, six-armed Dharma body became completely unrecognizable.

It was clearly a Taoist supernatural power created by Taiyi Zhenren through the Yuanshi Tianzun method, but it turned out to be a completely Buddhist supernatural power.

It is named 'Three-faced, Six-armed Black Buddha Subduer of Demons'.

The entire text is extremely sinister. It requires choosing the dark half-moon period from the 16th to the 30th of the lunar calendar, in the most malevolent corpse pit, lighting three human lamps, and visualizing the six-armed Mahakala.

Yang He did not think that the Three-Faced, Six-Armed Black Buddha Subduing Demon Venerable was more powerful than the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Dharma Master, and that he had to make daily offerings to the Six-Armed Mahakala transformed from a demon.

"Damn it, visualizing Shakyamuni's sudden enlightenment is the Tantric tradition!!"

“Even if the power of the evil spirit is not strong enough, it will not turn against itself. The Six-Armed Mahakala is likely not an ordinary evil spirit.”

Yang He gave up on perfecting his main cultivation method, but was unwilling to waste the opportunity.

After some thought, he decided to create a unique lineage of the Immaculate Ghost Buddha, where the Five Gods and the True Scripture of the Transformation of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits could be completely integrated.

"Well."

The process of establishing the orthodox tradition was a natural one.

Perhaps it was because the Immaculate Buddha was so suitable for Tantric Buddhism that, not long after, a lineage of the 'Five Aggregates and Three Souls Tantra' began to take shape.

The Five Aggregates and Three Souls Tantra also aims to transform the soul and five internal organs into Buddhas. If one were to practice normally, one would need to offer one's heart and soul on the altar.

"Hiss, it's actually...not bad."

Yang He's subconscious influence led to the creation of the Five Elements and Three Souls Secret Continuation. Ordinary Daoist lineages require a thousand years of lifespan to advance to the Tribulation Transcending Realm, but the Five Elements and Three Souls Secret Continuation only requires three hundred years.

With his remaining thousand years of lifespan, he might even be able to challenge the True Immortal Realm, which involves the secret continuation of the Five Elements and Three Souls.

The cost, in turn, is that the portion of one's lifespan that is consumed is shared equally among those who call upon the Buddha.

The five bodhisattvas, formed from the five internal organs, would each consume an additional two hundred years of their lifespan if they wished to command them, while the wandering arhats, formed from the souls, would each consume one hundred years of their lifespan.

There is no limit to the number of wandering Arhats, and the cost of mass-producing troops is far greater than before.

"It doesn't matter. The next version will extend lifespan by thousands or tens of thousands of years. There's no reason why a past Buddha like me would have no resources in Buddhism."

Yang He calmed himself down and, after considering the matter, took the initiative to improve the Myriad Transformations and Hundred Ghosts Primordial Scripture.

The *Wanhua Baigui Hunyuan Jing* contains seventy-three categories of methods for containing ghosts, almost covering all the strange and wonderful traditions of Taoism. Now is the perfect opportunity to create some Buddhist methods for containing ghosts.

Even if the Tantric tradition is heretical, having a choice is better than having none.

At the same time, Yang He noticed that his Lingjiu Mountain was enhancing Leiyin Temple, but the difference between the two was vast. The enhancement of Leiyin Temple was negligible, and its only benefit was the ability to perceive the outside world.

The struggle between the sages turned the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation into a forbidden zone, which continuously affected Leiyin Temple.

Rumble!
Leiyin Temple is like an isolated island, barely able to protect itself.

Yang He noticed that the black rain covering the temple was no longer falling vertically, but was torn into countless dense threads. At first glance, the sky above Leiyin Temple was covered with spider webs.

The neck of the empty shell of Shakyamuni Buddha has been broken.

Golden-colored Yin energy gushed from every pore of his body to repair Leiyin Temple, but the area of ​​the temple was still shrinking little by little.

The Daoist temples of all the True Immortals were extended outwards, but even with their combined efforts, they could only cover the Bodhi Tree.

Yang He clicked his tongue in amazement. It was already pitch black outside Leiyin Temple, and the Sanqing Daoist temple seemed to show some signs of merging during the collision.

It forms a boundless, lifeless, viscous, gray-black 'ocean'.

The ocean had become as viscous as oil, and the land and sky were both affected, creating a scene that sent chills down Yang He's spine.

The black water was filled with a large number of corpses, not just the dead.

All living beings that ever existed in this world sank and floated in the viscous black water in a decaying state, their faces dying with unseeing eyes.

The Three Pure Ones stood amidst the Black Water, pressing down on Yang He until he could hardly breathe.

The surviving immortals of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation gradually gathered at Leiyin Temple. Yang He saw many familiar figures, such as Lu Ya Dao Ren, or the four disciples, Jin Ling Sheng Mu and Gui Ling Sheng Mu.

They were able to survive entirely thanks to their cultivation as Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Even so, it was gradually becoming unbearable.

"what?"

Yang He raised an eyebrow, realizing that his regular character had actually survived and was now following a group of Great Luo Golden Immortals to Leiyin Temple. However… the way his regular character walked looked increasingly awkward.

Both Shi Daoren and Shen Gongbao appeared affected and pretentious, especially Shen Gongbao, whose swaying buttocks were truly an eyesore!
"Who the hell dares to possess my incarnation? Don't they know how Daoist Ran Deng died?"

Yang He glanced at the two people. Since the Immaculate Ghost Buddha did not possess the pupil ghost, his spiritual vision could only distinguish the aura of the body and soul, so he could confirm that they were two true immortals.

"wrong."

"Were they Su Daji and Hu Ximei?"

Yang He sneered. These two immortals from the lower realm are really being polite, offering to help transport the permanent characters. Well then, I'll leave you with a complete corpse.

Just as he was about to discuss the usual roles, he heard the baby crying of Buddha.

The black water surged and churned, creating endless towering waves that crashed heavily against Leiyin Temple.

Shakyamuni Buddha trembled violently, the branches and leaves of the Bodhi tree shook rustling, and the area of ​​Leiyin Temple instantly shrank by one-tenth or one-twelfth.

A particularly fierce wave crashed down, causing Leiyin Temple to shake violently.

Yang He's Lingjiu Mountain suffered an undeserved calamity and was also severely damaged, bringing his comprehension of the Myriad Transformations and Hundred Ghosts Primordial Scripture to an abrupt halt.

He heard the whispers of the Three Pure Ones coming from the depths of the Black Water through his spiritual vision.

The Three Pure Ones spoke clearly, and their spiritual wisdom was no longer chaotic and disordered.

"Laozi, why don't you want to ascend to the Thirty-Sixth Heaven?"

"We are saints, we cannot abandon the mortal world."

"A great calamity is coming one after another."

The conversation was brief, and the figures of the Three Pure Ones were once again shrouded in a layer of black water. The waves that were welcoming Leiyin Temple grew stronger and stronger, while the Two Western Saints stood on either side of the temple, struggling to cope with the lingering power of the Three Pure Ones.

Yang He could no longer concentrate on comprehending the Scripture of Myriad Transformations and Hundred Ghosts, which was now fixed at seventy-three categories of methods, double the original number.

The Immaculate Buddha's lifespan is coming to an end, and he is about to return to the main world.

Yang He simply cut off his own chance of survival to ensure the body remained intact.

Your character, the Immaculate Buddha, has died; the story has ended.

After the death of the Immaculate Buddha, Mount Lingjiu did not disappear. The temple ruins scattered around Leiyin Temple became a foothold for visiting immortals.

.........

Whether or not you inherit the benefits of the Immaculate Buddha, you will receive the following advantages.

[Territory: Vulture Peak]

Silver Spiritual Root

【Immaculate Buddha Body】

[The Nine Incarnations of the Immaculate Buddha]

【Qiankun Ruler】

Yang He noticed that the information about the Immaculate Ghost Buddha had also changed.

[The Immaculate Ghost Buddha: Legend has it that Nuwa sculpted a human figure from yellow clay in her own image, leaving fragments in the world. Some of these fragments were refined into a statue, and the spirit of the person who created it became a disciple of Nuwa. The statue survived ten lifetimes and attained enlightenment alongside Shakyamuni, becoming known as Yang He.]

Since the past Buddha has appeared in the background, it proves that the fruition cannot be stripped away anymore, and I have completely replaced the Taoist Ran Deng.

Claiming kinship is considered a success; as long as the background information is provided, Buddhism will certainly acknowledge it.

"Logically speaking, I should be safe now that I have transformed my true form into the Immaculate Buddha Body."

Yanghe was a Buddha of the past, but he had not been completely replaced before, which led to the attention of Ajivijaya in the deep hell.

【Immaculate Buddha Body】

[Once mastered, the body and soul will become half-ghost and half-Buddha. Consuming lifespan can promote the advancement of the Dharma, and the body and soul will receive the blessing of the Buddha's past attainment. A single drop of blood can transform the person into a monk-ghost.]

The immaculate Buddha body can be consumed by spiritual vision stripping.

The information about the Immaculate Buddha Body seems simple, but Yang He knows the terror of becoming a monk by shedding blood. Even without cultivating the Five Elements and Three Souls Secret Sequence, the true body is equivalent to having a trump card of self-destruction.

"exchange."

The Sanskrit characters for bone and flesh flickered, and the vast sound of chanting filled the air.

Yang He stared intently at the deepest hell, and indeed Ajivijaya did not reappear, only a faint, intermittent glimpse of him.

All the cultivators and mortals in the main world who inherited Yang Hexian's body were stunned.

Just two breaths later, they resumed their busy lives as if nothing had happened, unaware that their blood contained a trace of black.

Yang He's pupils focused, and blood dripped from his index finger.

pat.

Before the blood even touched the ground, it transformed into a tiny novice monk and knelt down.

With a thought, Yang He's novice monk began to swell wildly, his skin turning bluish-purple and covered with dense blue veins.
Its head was five times the size of its body, and its gaping mouth was filled with sharp teeth.

"My Buddha!!"

The monk-ghost bowed respectfully. Despite being an evil spirit, it was able to stay in the mortal realm for a long time thanks to its connection with Yang He, and it did not indiscriminately kill innocent people.

“A single monk-ghost can only transform into a mortal body (a malevolent spirit), but they can merge infinitely.”

Yang He dripped more blood, and the monk-ghosts gathered together, soon forming a larger and more ferocious entity.

"hey-hey."

Yang He looked at the various mortals in the streets and alleys, "My blood is exposed all over my body, I am just a two or three-headed true immortal monk ghost."

"But……"
