The Fate of Eternal Life

4. Bodhi Medicine: Cultivation Against Heaven
(Original article reposted)
Petals fell in all colors, and divine flowers floated down in the air. The world was quiet, and even all the principles were harmonized and integrated.

Beneath the Bodhi tree, Sakyamuni sits cross-legged, inspiring both awe and awe. This ancient figure, thousands of years ago, studied the Vedas and the teachings of Brahmanism, ultimately unified Mount Lingshan and founded Buddhism, leaving behind a glorious name that has spread throughout history and beyond.

Ning Qing stared at Sakyamuni without blinking, sighing that the other party was worthy of being the Buddha. Just that extraordinary temperament made people feel detached and seemed to be able to overcome all the worries in the world.

"when……"

On the sacred mountain, dozens or hundreds of miles away, the long and clear sound of the Buddhist bells is deafening, making people feel like they are being baptized, enlightened, and cleansed.

"You are too late. Lingshan has closed. You can only appear in the world again when the sea dries up." The figure with closed eyes under the Bodhi tree whispered.

Ning Qing kept saying, "I hold the sacred object that opens the ancient road to Lingshan Mountain."

"Although there are holy objects, there are no secret words. The ancient road is naturally difficult to see. Let's turn back." Sakyamuni did not move. The overflowing wisps of holy waves formed a divine wheel, and an unparalleled aura that suppressed the heavens for eternity was flowing.

"The secret language has not been lost. Although we haven't been able to deduce the whereabouts of the Buddha's bones, we do have a way. Please bear witness to this, Buddha."

Shakyamuni is silent. He is just a phantom of the Dharma. It will appear here only when someone with a predestined relationship touches it, and it will naturally disappear when its power is exhausted.

Ning Qingyi looked at the Bodhi tree that was gradually turning into stone and the Buddha that had turned into a stone sculpture, and sighed that the fruit of immortality was hard to obtain, as even Sakyamuni was still struggling to achieve it in the human world.

In that case, why should he cherish his life?

Ning Qingyi's expression was resolute, his life span began to flow and burn. He cast a small destiny spell, chanting the secret words leading to Lingshan, and soon reached the disconnected part.

The next moment, the power of fate turned.

The magnificent Lingshan Mountain began to tremble, and the vast Buddha nature flowed between heaven and earth. Faintly, the shadow of Buddha could be seen chanting scriptures loudly.

"All floating dust, all illusory forms, arise where they arise and perish where they cease. They are called illusions."

Ning Qingyi no longer chanted the secret words, but the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the world continued to help. An ancient road was born from nothingness and finally brought Lingshan to the world.

Unable to contain the excitement in his heart, he controlled the Luofu Ding and transformed it into a long rainbow, rushing straight towards Lingshan.

Glancing down, one can see towering ancient temples and clusters of monasteries, but no one is there. Everything is withered, the spiritual springs and pools are dry, without a trace of life, as if no one has ever set foot here since ancient times.

Lingshan has withered.

Before Ning Qingyi could even sigh, he felt the life force in his body draining away even more rapidly. He sped up again until he fell, and then he stopped practicing the Minor Fate Technique.

He calculated that continuing the secret message actually consumed ten years of his lifespan, and he couldn't help but click his tongue.

Ning Qingyi looked around at the silent Lingshan Mountain. Here he could see piles of dusty Buddhist treasures and great objects, and majestic temples and buildings, but not a single living person. There was only a dead atmosphere.

He was silent for a moment, then began searching with the small stone Buddha in his hand, and soon found his target.

This was a cauldron that was nearly decaying, yet it emitted a strong aroma that made one feel as if they were about to ascend to heaven. Furthermore, as Ning Qingyi approached, the cauldron began to shake violently, as if a living being was trying to escape from it.

Ning Qingyi remained calm, approaching at about the same distance, and directly took out the Luofu Ding and stored the entire body. Then he carefully smashed it, and immediately saw a green cloud flying out.

Ning Qing activated the Luofu Ding, and the true fire immediately burned the green cloud dry. A green treasure tree was seen spinning in the original place, as if trying to escape from the Luofu Ding, but it was suppressed after a few breaths.

The divine object is shaped like a small Bodhi tree, about the height of a palm, bright green all over, and exuding strong medicinal properties.

"Bodhi magic medicine!"

Ning Qingyi's face was filled with ecstasy. He couldn't believe that he had actually gotten it, and it took him a long time to calm down.

This was refined by Sakyamuni using the dragon vein of Lingshan Mountain as fire and the essence of the immortal tree. It was nurtured for more than two thousand years and contains 70% to 80% of the medicinal properties of an immortal elixir. It is the second most powerful medicine in Buddhism since ancient times.

Ning Qingyi, having achieved his goal, suddenly relaxed. To calm himself, he took the small stone Buddha and began searching Lingshan. This small stone Buddha, a token of Lingshan, would glow wherever important artifacts were found. Soon, he had his second big find.

This is a broken purple gold bowl with several cracks on the bowl, but it is still a holy weapon. It is possible that it can be completely restored in Beidou in the future.

I also found a string of Bodhi beads. As soon as I held it in my hand, my mind became incredibly calm, and I even felt a faint sense of harmony with the Tao.

This is definitely a rare treasure that can assist in cultivation.

In addition to these, several intact royal weapons, some other secret treasures, and many Buddhist scriptures and secret methods were also found.

The biggest gain was the Sendai Volume of the Vedas, and a supernatural power - telepathy!
"If a bodhisattva-mahasattva wishes to attain the ability to read other people's minds, he should cultivate the four dhyanas and the four formless concentrations, and with an undefiled mind cultivate the prajnaparamita, making his mind pure, free from defilement and impurity, soft and well-settled, and attaining an unmoved mind. In this way he can attain the ability to read other people's minds."

This is an unparalleled method of cultivating divine thoughts, which is in no way inferior to the "front" secret among the nine Taoist secrets. When you cultivate it to a high level, you can reach the heart of heaven with just one thought!
Burning ten years of your life to get these rewards is really cost-effective!

Ning Qingyi plundered Mount Lingshan for a full month, driven by a desire for greater gains and a desire to quench his greed. Only when he was certain he had regained his composure did he retrieve the Luofu Cauldron. He communicated with the cauldron's spirit, opened its lid, and without hesitation, jumped inside, carefully examining the Bodhi elixir.

This is the elixir of immortality!

It is enough to help an emperor-level figure live a new life, but now it is wasted on a wheel sea cultivator in order to improve his comprehension.

If people outside knew about this, they would probably want to kill him with a sword, then chop him into small pieces to make sauce, and finally put it back into the furnace to refine it again, just to squeeze out some of the medicinal properties.

But so what.

"I am just an ordinary person. Only by persisting and exhausting everything can I escape the suffering of mediocrity."

Ning Qingyi grabbed the Bodhi medicine and swallowed it without hesitation.

The immortal elixir fell into the wheel sea like a meteor and was placed on the life fountain. The Bodhi elixir stretched out its body and was refined in an instant.

The infinite medicinal properties were stimulated and instantly captured Ning Qingyi's mind.

In a trance, he felt that he had become a green seed, taking root, sprouting, and then growing into a sacred Bodhi tree, overlooking the world. The green branches and leaves reflected the universe like a mirror, illuminating everything clearly.

This kind of experience is really rare. The difficulty and obscurity of practicing Taoism in the past disappeared. The profound and complex runes of the Tao and the mysteries of the Emperor's Scriptures were no longer obscure and difficult to understand. Instead, he could easily understand them, as if he had suddenly realized something.

At this moment, he seemed to be close to becoming an immortal. He had thoroughly understood the Lingbao Sutra·Wheel Sea Volume, the Dao Sutra·Wheel Sea Volume, and the Taiyin Sutra·Wheel Sea Volume. He had also successfully mastered the numerical secrets, word composition secrets, and telepathy that he had been pondering for a long time. Many mysteries were melted into his heart.

This is terrifying, even Ning Qingyi feels that this is against the will of heaven.

If he had spent his entire life to gain such an understanding, he would not have dared to say that he had fully comprehended the profound meaning of the Emperor's Scripture. But now, it was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

The medicinal properties were still spreading, but the state in the body could no longer be suppressed. The divine rainbow formed a bridge between heaven and earth, reaching the other side.

The confusion of being lost seemed to not exist, and in an instant Ning Qing's sea realm was complete.

But at this moment, his mind was full of inspiration. He thought of the numerical secrets, the word composition secrets, the Lingbao Sutra and the strange phenomenon of the Lingbao Tianzun's wheel sea in the divine realm. He seemed to have understood something in a trance.

He mobilized his divine power and fiercely blasted towards a certain part of the ever-expanding sea of ​​​​wheels!
At this moment, the wheel sea seemed to be about to explode, and infinite divine will began to appear. Kunpeng spread its wings and roamed across the sky and earth, a real dragon exhaled, a divine phoenix extended its claws, and a white tiger roared. Mysterious changes were beginning.

"All things carry the Yin and embrace the Yang."

A spring of life was being opened up, and what flowed in this holy spring was the true power of Taiyin, with scriptures flowing in it.

“One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.”

Another sacred spring burst out with a rumbling sound, with majestic Taoist energy flowing in it.

"If one can treasure it, he will be free and at peace."

The fourth sacred spring was born!
This is exactly the Wheel Sea Dao Fruit of the Imperial Scripture's profound meaning, which can be called the Dao Spring. The true meaning of the Dao surges within it, and its arrangement also contains hidden mysteries.

Together with the original four life springs, once they resonate, the divine power alone will be unparalleled in the history of cultivation, and even the young emperor may not be able to defeat it easily.

What's more, Ning Qingyi can now even be regarded as practicing a single secret realm. Every time he condenses a kind of Tao fruit into a life spring, he breaks a cage. If he does not die prematurely, he will surely shine in the future!
The medicinal power was still dissipating, Ning Qingyi no longer hesitated, and recited the Dao Palace Scroll of Baopuzi to open up the Dao Palace.

He didn't dwell on it too much, but instead followed his current spiritual inclination and freely opened up two Dao Palaces. Following the Five Elements, he opened up the Dao Palace of the Metal Element's Lungs and the Dao Palace of the Wood Element's Liver.

At this point, the effect of the medicine was only one-tenth or one-twentieth of its effect, but Ning Qingyi still stopped following a flash of inspiration.

He used the magic of "one instrument to suppress all laws" that he had comprehended from the "Taoist Sutra" and his magical method of telepathy to tentatively explore the phantom of the Gate of Eternal Life.

In an instant, the world came to a standstill!

The sixteen ancient characters on the phantom of the Gate of Eternal Life shone brightly, and the phantom gate slowly opened. When one opened his eyes, the structure of the physical body, the mystery of the magical powers, the power to become an immortal, and the hope of eternal life seemed to be all contained therein.

The medicinal properties of the Bodhi magic medicine no longer spread. It was swept away by the light, and the light green medicinal power instantly evaporated. The next second, something incredible happened.

An ancient scripture was evaporated, just over a hundred words, flowing in Ning Qingyi's heart, and then rushed into the Gate of Eternal Life impatiently, and then the phantom closed, and everything returned to calm.

Only Ning Qingyi had a look of disbelief on his face, because that scripture was the core inheritance of the Immortal Monk King lineage from the ancient times.

Invincible golden body!
