Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 283: Clear Mirror and Still Water
Behind Yinshan Mountain.

Jiang Jianjing stood beneath the Bodhisattva's seat but did not answer immediately.

He recalled it in his heart.

In the Ksitigarbha Sutra.

The supernatural powers that this Bodhisattva once displayed.

He is most skilled in mental power, willpower, and methods of cultivating the soul.

“Venerable Bodhisattva, I wish to cultivate supernatural powers related to the soul.”

After a moment's thought, Jiang Jian spoke.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and said, "Among the living beings in the world, some cultivate their physical bodies, some cultivate their minds, some cultivate their spiritual traces, and some cultivate their souls."

“I have a scripture specifically for the cultivation of the soul.”

"If one can cultivate this skill, one's soul can remain forever, and one will not perish even after countless eons."

Hear this.

Jiang Jian immediately realized that what he was talking about was the famous Ksitigarbha Sutra in the story world.

The supernatural powers described in this scripture are indeed specifically for cultivating the spirit and soul, and are extremely profound.

However, Jiang Jian understood it even better.

To cultivate this scripture, one not only needs profound Buddhist knowledge, but also requires long-term, painstaking effort to achieve even a slight degree of success.

Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spent over a hundred lifetimes to cultivate this scripture and attain liberation.

But in the real world, where we live, there simply isn't that much time.

"Venerable Bodhisattva."

Jiang Jian paused for a moment, then said respectfully, "When I was in charge of the Wheel-Turning Hall, I studied the Ksitigarbha Sutra, so I have some basic knowledge of it."

"Could you extract its supernatural powers and practice them specifically?"

"In this way, one can not only concentrate fully during practice, but also achieve twice the result with half the effort."

The basic part of this scripture is not a secret.

The story of the Ten Palaces of Yinshan is often told.

Jiang Jian's idea was very simple.

The Ksitigarbha Sutra is indeed profound.

But all I need is the supernatural power recorded within.

“King of the Wheel, I observe that you are skilled in cultivating your mind.”

"This scripture may not be suitable for you."

The Bodhisattva spoke softly, as if he could see through Jiang Jian's thoughts.

"I have another supernatural power here."

"I obtained it from the depths of the ocean before I attained enlightenment." "If this supernatural power is cultivated..."

"The spirit enters the mirror, and reality and illusion shift."

"No matter how many calamities befall me, I will not fall into the cycle of reincarnation."

The words fell.

His dark black Buddhist robe fluttered lightly.

An ancient book appeared from nothingness, transformed into a distorted stream of light, and went straight into Jiang Jian's brow.

at the same time.

The form of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva dissipated.

The Bodhisattva image behind him also disintegrated into light.

The tenfold wheel of merit spread out, illuminating the ten palaces of Yinshan as if it were daytime.

Jiang Jian was momentarily dazed.

Wait until you come to your senses.

Deep within his soul, a new supernatural power has emerged!
Above the scrolls.

A line of ancient Yinshan seal script, gleaming faintly.

"A Clear Mirror and Still Water"

Jiang Jian stared at these four words, his soul trembling slightly.

The mirror stops the water.

He repeated it in a low voice.

Deep within my mind, I have already gained a preliminary understanding of this supernatural power.

This supernatural power, if cultivated to its highest level...

It can make the soul reflect like a mirror, allowing it to switch between reality and illusion, without being harmed in any way!

If used as a means of attack.

This allows the aura of the soul to be reflected out, transforming into an illusory mirror image that can directly obliterate the enemy's soul!

I skimmed through "The Mirror of Still Water" again.

Jiang Jian came to her senses and felt a slight joy in her heart.

This supernatural power will be of great help to me!
At this time.

A judge from hell stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Jian, saying, "By the decree of the Bodhisattva, from this day forward, the King will temporarily take charge of the Ksitigarbha Hall and become its master!"

Below Yinshan Mountain.

Countless Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, all bowed their heads in respect, their expressions extremely reverent!
Jiang Jian remained calm, showing no concern whatsoever.
