Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 284 The Tathagata Palm, Everyone's an Undercover Agent?
A terrestrial being?

Or is it a group of reckless land deities joining forces?

Zhu Jinzhen's expression was playful. After tonight, it would be a new month, and his trump cards would increase again. He wanted to see whether the so-called Heaven's Scar trump card plan was more powerful, or whether his golden finger was more formidable.

"Feng'er."

"The servant is here."

"I need to take a bath later, go and prepare."

"Yes."

The maid behind Zhu Jinzhen quickly left.

"I will retire at the end."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yimei blushed, as if she had thought of something, and quickly left with her head bowed.

"This woman..."

Zhu Jinzhen shook his head slightly, looking at the Marrow Cleansing Classic that Yan Yimei had placed on the table, and began to read it with great interest.

There is a Buddhist saying that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

Bodhidharma of the Martial Arts World created the Marrow Cleansing Classic, a masterpiece that can be described as earth-shattering, with the intention of saving people from suffering through the pagoda. When one cultivates to the seventh level of the pagoda, one can reverse the death and bring back to life those who have just died.

It shares a similar concept with the Shenzhao Jing, which Zhu Jinzhen had previously ordered someone to bring back from Jingzhou.

"Bodhidharma's Marrow Cleansing Sutra has profound meaning, with a seven-story pagoda to save all people from suffering."

"Unfortunately, it was ultimately just a castle in the air."

"Life and death are great suffering, and human affairs are arduous. What is not suffering? How can we save people?" Zhu Jinzhen shook his head. The intention of Bodhidharma's Marrow Cleansing Classic is naturally excellent, but for ordinary people, life and death are great suffering. Are other life experiences not suffering?
To think that one can save the people from suffering with just a single book like the Marrow Cleansing Classic is nothing short of delusional.

The only thing worth mentioning is the seven-tiered pagoda in the Marrow Cleansing Classic, which can refine true qi into pure primordial essence to replenish life force and even bring the dead back to life, which is quite miraculous.

But soon, Zhu Jinzhen noticed something was wrong.

"Strange, how come the Marrow Cleansing Classic and the Divine Illumination Classic are so similar, yet they seem to be following the same path?" A guess flashed through Zhu Jinzhen's mind. Could it be that the founder of the Divine Illumination Classic had referenced the Marrow Cleansing Classic?
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jinzhen picked up another famous martial arts book.

Buddha's Palm!

"Nine Forms of Tathagata Palm, Welcoming the Buddha to the Western Paradise, Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Ancestor."

"This martial art is quite powerful; it can be considered an unparalleled palm technique for those below the Celestial Realm on the terrestrial level."

"But the most peculiar thing is that, through peculiar luck and skill and the power to shake the heavens, one can conjure up countless swastikas, Buddhist chants, and make one's movements seem like the descent of a true Buddha."

Zhu Jinzhen glanced at the Tathagata Palm, then made a variation of the Abhaya Mudra with his right hand. A golden Buddhist light burst forth from his palm, condensing into a swastika-shaped Buddhist light. He had a premonition that if he wanted to, he could continue to increase his true energy and unleash the first move of the Buddhist light, and even directly trigger the phenomenon of a sky full of Buddhist light.

When Zhu Jinzhen was learning the Marrow Cleansing Classic, he was only amazed. But this Tathagata Palm, which came with its own background music and special effects, made Zhu Jinzhen feel a sense of sincere admiration.

"By guiding true qi, the air is vibrated, producing an effect similar to Buddhist chanting at a specific frequency. Then, by using the power of celestial phenomena, the power of celestial phenomena can be invoked, and the phenomenon of Buddha's light or the phantom of Buddha is infused."

"Good heavens, Buddha said there are 84,000 insects in the water."

"Bodhidharma, you directly grasped the true meaning of sound traveling through a medium, or rather, through the air, and created this Tathagata Palm technique when practiced to its extreme, where all Buddhas pay homage with a wave of the hand, and the sky is filled with Buddha images and the sound of Buddhist chants, right?"

Zhu Jinzhen always knew that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.

But the Tathagata Palm still opened his eyes. There are countless amazing skills in the world of martial arts, but such a "scientific" Buddhist martial art, which is named after the Tathagata, still gave him a "fresh and new" feeling.

Putting aside its power, the sheer oppressive force of the Tathagata Palm is far beyond what ordinary martial arts can match!

According to Yan Yimei's report, when Dao Yu pushed the Tathagata Palm to its limit, it triggered a celestial phenomenon, and a Tathagata phantom, hundreds of feet tall, appeared, accompanied by a sky full of Buddhist light, as if the Tathagata had truly descended to earth. If it weren't nighttime, it would have already caused the entire city's people to kneel down and worship and pray.

Compared to the Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique, which can create a Heavenly Will Four Symbols phantom several meters high, it is much more powerful.

In short, this is a powerful Buddhist martial art that also has an incredibly cool and pretentious effect. If it weren't for the fact that it's set in a multi-world martial arts world with extremely high martial arts limits, but in a single-world martial arts world...

Just by performing the Abhaya Mudra (gesture of fearlessness), one can attract a sky full of Buddhist light, the phantom image of the Buddha, and the effect of Buddhist chanting.

All Buddhist sects under heaven must venerate him as the true Buddha, the Buddha's disciple descended to earth.

Zhu Jinzhen was thoroughly enjoying himself after acquiring the weapon.

……

Zhu Jinzhen found both the Marrow Cleansing Classic and the Tathagata Palm quite good.

With his comprehension, it would be extremely fast for him to comprehend it. In just half a month, Zhu Jinzhen was confident that he could comprehend the Marrow Cleansing Classic to the point of at least the fifth level of the Buddha's Palm.

But Zhu Jinzhen still made a trip to the Martial Arts Cultivation Furnace.

After all, how can one's own cultivation and enlightenment compare to directly synchronizing with the achievements of others, then striving for excellence and surpassing limits?
What's the point of having a cheat program if you can't use it?
The moment Zhu Jinzhen stepped out of the Martial Arts Cultivation Furnace, he looked at the six hastily formed 'Great Brahma' figures beside him and a strange smile appeared on his lips: "With this, what can Tian Zhihen use to fight me?"

Dao Yu at his six peak periods all possessed the Marrow Cleansing Scripture of the Seventh-Level Pagoda, all had the peak cultivation of a terrestrial immortal, and all could reach the pinnacle of the Tathagata Palm.

Apart from the difference in appearance, he is almost identical to Dao Yu himself.

Furthermore, it contains all of Dao Yu's memories of the Heaven's Scar.

It's even more cloning than human cloning.

According to the plan of substitution previously reported by Yan Yimei, as long as the secret guards find an opportunity, they will cooperate from the inside and outside to replace the other seven gods of Tianzhihen one by one with the secret guards.

"If you don't hurry up, given the speed of Yi Mei's infiltration plan, by the time you execute your so-called top-secret plan, you two, the so-called Heavenly Lord and Demon Lord, will probably be the only spies left in the entire Heavenly Scar!" Zhu Jinzhen couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of that scene, and even his steps became lighter.

While everyone else proceeded in an orderly manner.

Xue Zhi led the Cangyun Iron Cavalry along the Great Wall straight to Wanquan Commandery, intending to take control of Wanquan Commandery first, and then further control Daning Prefecture and Guangning Guard.

Yan Yimei began her infiltration plan, arranging for a secret guard with all of Dao Yu's memories and cultivation to 'escape'. Meanwhile, the Jingnan army was making its final preparations, planning to march straight to the capital the next day once its supplies were ready.

Zhu Jinzhen also solemnly bathed and changed his clothes, preparing to sign in again.

"The system has been out robbing people for almost a month now."

"No news at all."

"I miss Him."

"Hopefully, this sign-in will yield something good!"

Zhu Jinzhen prayed silently. When faced with indecisiveness, the only solution was to use cheat codes. Lacking a sense of security, only the powerful sign-in rewards provided by the system could soothe his anxious heart.
