A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 113 Divine Shadow
Duan Rong sat cross-legged on the black ground in his spiritual sea of consciousness, with his five hearts facing the sky!
He closed his eyes and chanted the spell quietly!

The murmuring of incantations, dense as raindrops, echoed in this ancient and majestic space, like the whispers of gods and demons...

With the rapid and dense sound of the spell, it echoed and roared in the space...

The swirling thin mist actually slowly came to a stop...

They no longer tumble...

The still fog began to settle...

The originally thin mist began to become thicker...

Thick fog, a grayish-white layer, settled on the black surface of the earth...

Duan Rong sat cross-legged in this thick gray fog. Only his head was exposed. The gray fog spread to his neck...

Duan Rong's face was peaceful, immersed in joy...

After the fog settled, the space became unusually clear, like a cleansed pure land...

The sky is like transparent glass...

After the fog settled, Duan Rong felt that his mind had become unusually clear. This clarity made his heart calm and still. He was enveloped by a deep joy...

In the text of the Garbha Sutra, there is a clear reminder here that one should not indulge in the joy here...

When Duan Rong thought of this, his heart suddenly shook and he woke up immediately!

He frowned slightly, and began to make hand gestures and seals with his hands in the gray-white mist, stirring up the mist in front of him, causing it to churn...

As Duan Rong formed a seal, a faint roar suddenly sounded, echoing far away in the sky...

The roar gradually became clearer, like thunder, rolling across the sky...

As the thunder rolled by, Duan Rong's heart suddenly became clear, as if some subtle distracting thoughts hidden in his heart were suddenly shattered by the roar...

The gray-white mist that settled on the surface of the black earth actually sank another third and reached Duan Rong's chest...

At this moment, four huge statues standing tall appeared in the east, south, west and north of this world!
The gigantic statue was as majestic as a mountain, reaching up to the sky and towering over the heavens!

Acala’s entire body is dark blue with exposed fangs. He holds a sword in his right hand and a rope in his left hand. His entire body is surrounded by red lotus fire, which makes the northern sky appear bright red!
Vajra Yaksha Mingwang has three faces and six arms. The front side has five glaring eyes, and the left and right sides have three eyes each. The six arms each hold a bow, arrow, sword, wheel, five-pronged pestle, vajra bell and other magical instruments.

The Vajra King is walking and holding a rotating lid in his right hand and a vajra in his left hand. He is green all over, with his hair standing upright, like a galloping horse with its mane standing upright, looking ferocious and weird!

The Horse-Headed Vajra King is red all over, with three faces and eight arms, three eyes wide open, exposed fangs, red and yellow hair and beard, and the appearance of a fearless lion.

The four statues have different shapes, but they are all extremely ugly, with hideous faces and angry expressions, which are terrifying to look at!
These four statues were like gods descending from the sky, with astonishing momentum, and a pressure that could destroy the heavens and earth filled this world! Duan Rong sat cross-legged in the mist, and suddenly felt terrified, as if he were in the presence of a real god!
But if you look closely, the appearance of these four statues is somewhat blurry, just like looking at flowers through fog!
It’s not that Duan Rong’s painting skills are bad, but how can a piece of drawing paper be transformed into this statue of God that fills the heaven and earth without distortion?

Inside the Taiyi Gate, there is a real mandala!

Four huge mountain sculptures of gods as tall as mountains tower over heaven and earth!

Practicing the Garbha Sutra in this mandala is almost equivalent to the presence of the gods themselves. Those with weak spirits will even have their sea of consciousness shattered on the spot!

However, at this moment, even these four vague statues made Duan Rong feel like a mountain pressing down on his head, and he felt a little overwhelmed!
Duan Rong didn't know that he escaped the disaster precisely because of the poor conditions!
Because his mental strength is too weak!

Even if he used four sculptures of the same size as him to construct an altar to practice the Taizang Sutra, his weak soul at level 1 of spiritual power could not withstand the instant pressure when the statues entered his sea of consciousness!
His sea of consciousness will surely be shattered and he will die of madness!

He constructed a mandala using portraits. Although it was the lowest level mandala, it was within his ability!
Duan Rong was bearing the pressure from the Four Bright Kings. He did not dare to delay and immediately made hand seals and started practicing his skills!
The incantation with archaic and obscure words was recited from Duan Rong's mouth!

As soon as this spell was uttered, the four huge statues all shook their bodies, and divine light shot out from their eyes, sweeping in all directions!

Then, it opened its big mouth and sucked like a whale!
The settling gray-white mist rolled up like a tornado, and rose into a ball into the sky. With the breath of the statue, it went into its big mouth!
The grayish-white mist entered through the statue's big mouth, and after a moment, spewed out from its nostrils!
The gray-white mist that was sprayed out then settled again!
However, there were several strands of light as thin as hair, peeling off from the grayish-white mist that came out of the nostrils!

The light thread was about half a foot long. Once it was separated from the mist, it flew towards the dome like a living thing...

Above the sky, circling endlessly, crisscrossing...

Duan Rong sat cross-legged under the dome and was greatly amazed by this wonderful sight!

Then the big mouths of the four statues kept opening and closing, and grayish-white mist spewed out from their nostrils!

Light threads peeled off from the gray-white mist in batches and gathered above the dome!
Gradually, the threads of light became more and more numerous, and they merged into a blurry, faint light and shadow!

It looked like the outline of a baby!

It seemed to be still in the womb, its body curled up...

And the following light threads were all injected into the face of the blurry baby's light and shadow. Although his body was still hollow, his face became more and more solid!
Gradually, his facial features began to emerge!
His eyes were tightly closed, his mouth and nose were small, and he was emitting a milky white halo!

Just when Duan Rong was feeling horrified, another strange thing happened!
I saw the milky white baby shadow, and suddenly his mouth opened, and a trace of green light actually penetrated into his mouth!
Duan Rong's whole body trembled. He realized that the faint green light actually came from the sea of tree spirit light in the southwest of the black land!
At the place where he devoured the eighty-one tree spirits, there was a wisp of green light that peeled off and floated from the tree spirit light sea. Like a swimming fish, it swam towards the baby light and shadow above the dome and drilled into his little mouth...

"This is……"

The strange scene before his eyes was definitely not what was mentioned in the Taizang Sutra!
After all, the Taizang Sutra does not mention the existence of tree spirits in the sea of consciousness!
Duan Rong also had no idea what kind of changes this scene would produce!

He even wanted to stop practicing the technique immediately, but when he saw that ray of green light entered the baby's mouth, his originally hollow body actually gradually became solid!

The ready-made light threads in the tree spirit's sea of light were obviously much more abundant than the light threads that were separated one by one from the gray-white mist from the four statues!
The light and shadow of the baby was like a hungry baby sucking milk, sucking non-stop!

The sea of tree spirit light seemed to be evaporating. One by one, the tree spirits turned into threads of light and disappeared!
　Taoist friends can try to visualize the switching point between breathing and exhalation. This is a method of meditation!
