The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 203 Supreme Divine Power

This time, what was condensed was a [Great Calamity] that almost reached the core level of the Earth Deity, as well as the residual aura of a top-tier Bodhisattva Fruit. The light on the jade scroll had almost reached its peak.

As cause and effect changed, the radiance suddenly exploded, and after a long time, it slowly subsided. The jade talisman in this jade book had transformed into a golden color, completely different in texture from all other jade talismans, and it shone with countless lights.

The scene depicted was one of peace and tranquility.

The sun shone warmly and peacefully. A young monk sat cross-legged in what he called his own temple, but his building skills were rather poor; the roof was already cracked. A spider was weaving its web, and when the wind blew, the spider fell down.

The young monk stretched out his hand, his palm fair and slender, and lifted the spider.

He smiled and then gently lowered his hand.

He let the spider walk off his palm.

From this point on, the cause and effect are severed.

You have your own life, and I have my own karma.

This was a scene that could never have happened in the past, a possibility that both the Bodhisattva and the demons had regretted countless times, but fate intervened here.

Dependent origination is emptiness, fundamentally empty and luminous.

The sounds, forms, and appearances of the Buddha's teachings are fundamentally twofold.

On the jade talisman, the Dharma appeared in Zhou Yan's mind. The profound meaning of Manjushri Bodhisattva was to subdue this mind. Zhou Yan slowly recited the supernatural power on his jade talisman, saying, "【Unobstructed Ten Directions Wish-Fulfilling Power】".

It is one of the fundamental supernatural powers of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Because of the karmic connection with the Weaver Girl, cause and effect are woven together, manifesting and achieving. One can transform into a body in an instant, and through one's own karma, one can transform into various bodies in the ten directions. The transformations are unpredictable, yet the fundamental nature is the same, and all ten directions of the world are as desired.

Such a powerful supernatural ability did not consume much energy, it seems that the monk bestowed his last bit of power, and the jade book itself deduced it, the two combined to achieve such an effect.

May all directions of the world be as you wish, without hindrance.

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then brushed his fingers through the white hair at his temples. He simply snapped it off, and the white hair fell down, transforming into another Zhou Yan. The appearance and temperament were exactly the same, and the white hair was completely transparent. Only someone with Zhou Yan's enlightened eyes could see the problem.

Manjushri Bodhisattva can simultaneously manifest countless emanations to travel to the ten directions and liberate sentient beings. These emanations can be Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, ordinary people, or even demons, demonstrating unimpeded supernatural powers.

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then cut off another strand of white hair and threw it down. He held it in his hand, then shook it hard, instantly breaking the white hair into many small pieces. These pieces fell to the ground and transformed into Zhou Yan.

Each of them was quick-witted and completely at ease; it was not a simple transformation technique.

This is the true great supernatural power of a Bodhisattva.

However, given the monk Kongkong's personality, could it be that this old dragon developed this great supernatural power because it only likes to stay at home and never go out?
But this friend is really unlucky.

I'll stay home and cultivate myself properly, and I'm also prepared to deal with the trouble I've caused.

When the door opened, the world exploded.

Trying to escape, Fuxi locked the back door.

Hmm, although Fuxi the Emperor protected the human race, why does his method always seem to have a sense of yin and yang flowing, good and evil both possible, and all can be controlled by a single thought? It's like he's an existence that cannot be bound by the common understanding of good and evil.
With a thought from Zhou Yan, these avatars performed martial arts, and some could even use the Jade Talisman Divine Power. Even without using such divine power, they could move things at will and bring all sorts of things.

The Weaver Girl was obsessed with connecting to the earth's veins, so she carried many things with her.

We need to buy a bag first.

Zhou Yan sat cross-legged here, contemplating his current situation and the earth-shattering changes he had learned from the monk Kongkong before the great calamity returned to the earth.

Pointing at one point, all these items flew out.

The blood of Chi You.

In Zhou Yan's understanding, this was one of the origins of the Central Plains human race, and one of the ancestors of the human race. Even though he was killed by Emperor Xuanyuan, he was still revered as the God of War and the Lord of War. But now, Zhou Yan doesn't know.

Assuming, as he guessed, there are three worlds.

If the concept of the sealed-off Age of Gods; the Tang Dynasty of immortals and heroes; and the completely safe homeland are actually three separate entities, then his understanding of [Chi You] is probably only superficial.

This drop of essence blood flowed slowly, emitting a rich and potent vital energy.

However, the Hungry Ghost Jade Talisman, which has always had an enormous appetite and would even devour the blood of a drought demon, behaved itself this time without any change.

The other drop, the blood of the ancient dragon who attained Buddhahood, emitted a clear and radiant light.

Faced with the true blood of Manjushri, the Hungry Ghost Jade Talisman became as obedient as a grandson.

After all, Chi You's blood could beat the power of the Hungry Ghost Jade Talisman to the point of collapse, while Manjushri's blood could directly destroy the Hungry Ghost Jade Talisman.

Zhou Yan looked at these things, tapping his chin with his fingers as he pondered:
"Therefore, according to Manjushri, a certain group led the Kunlun Calamity, which was originally going to affect the human world, but because of Fuxi, the calamity did not spread. However, many ancient legends also paid a price."

"Manjushri went into 'sleep' directly, and in order to resolve the calamity of the Weaver Girl, the wisp of his consciousness that was asleep also perished."

"From the memories of the Enlightened Beast, the existence that guided the Kunlun Calamity was the culprit that led to the Buzhou Mountain incident. After the Kunlun incident, it planned to attack Mount Tai, but judging from the current situation, at least several thousand years have passed before the Duke of Mount Tai fell."

"If the death of Lord Taishan was related to them."

"So, the very being that caused the fall of Buzhou Mountain and the enemy that guided the great calamity of the Kunlun Mountain pantheon was actually blocked at the door by Fuxi, and was even elbowed at the door for at least several thousand years."

Zhou Yan remained silent, realizing that based on speculation and current information, Fuxi, the theoretically civil official, possessed unbelievably formidable combat abilities. Even after Buzhou Mountain was breached, Fuxi was still fighting head-on.

"But this also means something terrible."

"That is, it seems that my ancestor who blocked the door can no longer stop it, at least, he can't stop them all. So, the Old Mother of Lishan has to act under this identity and cannot reveal her true form."

"Those guys are here, the Taishan Duke has been appointed, and I've become the Taishan Prefecture Lord again, hiss..."

wrong!

Zhou Yan suddenly realized a problem.

In the eyes of the group that triggered the Kunlun Calamity, this is like the God of Mount Tai doing sit-ups. If so, they will continue to attack them, and the calamities around Mount Tai will probably be numerous.

We must acquire greater power as soon as possible.

Zhou Yan's mind stirred, and the jade seal floated in front of him, slowly rotating and emitting a faint, warm light that reflected Zhou Yan's own Dao foundation. His true body was currently only at the seventh rank, but he was using the jade seal to deduce the path to the sixth rank and condense a virtual Dao foundation. Once his own cultivation reached that level, he could follow the deductions of the jade seal and step into the sixth rank.

At that time, the calculation of the imperial seal might allow one to reach the fifth rank.

Zhou Yanzhi's lineage is complex, combining elements of Buddhism, Taoism, military strategy, and mountain deity. Each lineage originally had extremely high requirements for cultivation, making advancement in cultivation extremely difficult.

Zhou Yan felt a little numb at that time.

Looking back now, Taoism has achieved the state of Yin-Yang unity, where essence, energy, and spirit are in harmony, flowing and changing without ceasing; Buddhism has subdued the great demon, saved all living beings, and attained the fundamental supernatural powers of a Bodhisattva.

Even the Garbhadhatu Mandala, which represents the highest Dharma gate in Buddhism, has been memorized by Zhou Yan. He possesses enlightened supernatural eyes, and photographic memory is a fundamental skill for him.

When he realized what he had written down, it meant that the Buddhist teaching on the cause of all phenomena had been thoroughly engraved into his mind.

Thus, Zhou Yan already possessed the original text of the Tao Te Ching, the Garbhadhatu Mandala, and the top techniques of both Taoism and Buddhism. He had even grasped their true meaning. If he had only been practicing the Taoist or Buddhist lineage, he would have already broken through to the next level.

Military strategists have also dispatched Shi Xuanxing to lead the Taishan Guard to reinforce and attack.

Only the Mountain God remains. All that's needed is to go back and wipe out the demons around Mount Tai, completely restoring the area under the control of the Mountain God as he once did. That should allow us to take another step forward.

His true form reached the sixth rank, and he used the jade seal to deduce the fifth rank realm.

We should also ask the terracotta warriors from Mount Li whether this Qin state was from the pre-Qin era or the Immortal Qin era.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, there's also this..."

Zhou Yan's mind stirred. In the heart of this enormous and ominous place, faintly, wisps of energy gathered and flowed, and were drawn out. This was the innate energy that the Old Mother of Lishan had asked Zhou Yan to find.

Only with this can one cultivate the "Art of Transformation" spoken of by the Old Mother of Lishan.

Manjushri's supernatural power is the ability to transform in a single thought. However, at this moment, Zhou Yan's transformation can only take on his own appearance. If he could learn the art of transformation from the Old Mother of Lishan, then he would truly be able to transform in a thousand ways with a single thought, possessing a certain air of a deity.

Zhou Yan took one last look at this place, at the battle, and at the place where his old friends had left.

Finally, he turned away with a flick of his sleeve and said nonchalantly:
"gone!"

Outside, Xiweizi and the others watched as the giant calamity spider slowly collapsed and disintegrated, turning into flowing earth energy and disappearing. They breathed a sigh of relief. The figure of the Lord of Mount Tai vanished, and above the sky, purple energy flowed and changed, surging endlessly.

Zhou Yan, in the abdomen of the calamity, gripped a three-pointed, double-edged sword and cleaved the earth's veins.

He conjured up many versions of himself, wielding weapons and hacking his way through.

Finally, relying on the sheer number of people and their strength, the Lord of the Underworld managed to carve a path through the crowd. After emerging, he transformed into an insect, avoiding everyone's attention, and landed at the entrance of the Taishang Tower Taoist Temple. With a flicker, he transformed into his true form, watching as his Dharma form dissipated. The purple aura above the sky seemed to have found its target.

The purple energy swirled and turned into light, flying into the incarnation of the Lord of Mount Tai.

Using his senses, he appeared in front of Zhou Yan.

Large clumps of purple aura, magnificent and elegant. This time, the purple aura, in terms of both quantity and solid texture, was far stronger than when Zhou Yan performed the ritual of deliverance forty thousand souls at Mount Tai.

It was an act of vanquishing a fallen bodhisattva in disguise, eliminating what could be considered the fifth calamity, a feat worthy of the title of Lord of Mount Tai. This was the intangible gratitude of all living beings in this world, across thousands of miles of land, a feeling of joy that surged and naturally formed.

The young Taoist stretched out his palm, and the large ball of purple energy landed in his hand, swirling into a ball. He could vaguely sense the condensation and power of this ball of purple energy, and he could vaguely sense the value of this purple energy's merit.

However, he was not a true ancient deity, nor the legendary Lord of Mount Tai, so he did not know how to use this purple aura.

Perhaps we could ask the Old Mother of Lishan.

As Zhou Yan thought about it, he also had control of that ball of innate energy in his hand. He planned to go and visit the Old Mother of Lishan. As the earth veins returned to their source, the earth settled down, and rain began to fall from the sky. The rain was extremely heavy and torrential.

The trees in front of the young Taoist priest naturally bent down to shelter him from the rain.

Zhou Yan reached out his hand, and as the rain fell, it naturally avoided him.

At least, he learned one benefit.

Being imbued with purple aura and merit signifies great contributions to heaven and earth and all things, and it seems that one will receive the favor of heaven and earth.

However, I really can't feel happy.

Having eliminated the calamity and learned the secrets, it's hard to say whether the Weaver Girl had any other assistance in making such a grand display. The questions of An Lushan, the pre-Qin period, and the secrets of Kunlun weighed heavily on Zhou Yan's mind.

What saddened him even more was that this escape from calamity also meant the loss of one of his few friends since he came into this world.

He looked up at the sky, and just as he was about to leave, a tremor suddenly swept across the earth. The true form of the Lord of Mount Tai had disappeared, turning into pure purple energy. The calamities of heaven and earth subsided, and then a certain hidden person appeared.

The earth vein blockade between Mount Hua and Mount Zhongnan has been lifted.

The two ley lines reconnected, and at this time, the Western Mountain faction, under the guidance of the True Lord, was frantically seizing and controlling the ley lines of Zhongnan Mountain in order to strengthen themselves—

At this moment, the earth's veins in Zhongnan Mountain have been refined and purified.

For the mountain gods and earth spirits who occupy a certain territory, it can be said to be the source of power!
Xi Yue's goal is to fundamentally increase the amount of earth veins he controls, thereby enhancing his fundamental status and foundation. Therefore, he has always coveted the earth veins in the Zhongnan Mountain area.

Now, after the calamities and disasters, the Zhongnan Mountain veins have returned to the earth. Not only has the quantity increased, but the quality of the energy in these veins has also reached an extremely high level.

Seeing that the avatar of the Lord of Mount Tai had departed, the Western Peak could no longer restrain himself. Ignoring the Dragon Slayer's advice, he appeared. This True Lord of the Western Peak, solely for the sake of his own strength and realm, wore golden armor and held a long spear. Calm and composed, he said:

"Today is a great calamity, and we are grateful for your help, Lord. This matter..."

"I, Xiyue, am grateful for your kindness."

"From this day forward, I will no longer compete with Dongyue for the position of the most revered of the Five Sacred Mountains."

"I should have invited you to stay for another drink, but as the ruler of the Western Mountain, I must guard the western earth veins. With such a duty, I will have to ask you to come another time. As for what happens next, I will not trouble you."

"The thousand-mile-long geological veins of Zhongnan Mountain should be entrusted to us—"

"Take over completely."

The rain was falling softly.

The young Taoist stopped, holding a fallen leaf in his hand, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Are you here to pick peaches?
