The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 250 I am omnipotent
The six-tusked white elephant is the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, one of the four great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva specialize in different paths—the latter is proficient in Prajna wisdom, thoroughly understands the causes of all things and events, manifests countless incarnations, and enlightens all sentient beings; while the former's lineage lies in great practice and the ocean of vows.

Manjushri Bodhisattva's wisdom is as sharp as a sword.

The supernatural powers of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva demonstrate the breadth, steadfastness, and eternity of his vows and practices.

The white jade lion cat shook its head and said, "Well, doesn't Buddhism have a practice called 'Original Vow'? It's basically making a promise to the Heavenly Dao about what you want to do, and then exchanging it for power."

After listening to the explanation from the white jade lion cat, Zhou Yan understood and said:

"What a convenient method!"

The white jade lion cat rolled its eyes frantically: "Do you think Heaven is stupid?"

"The Great Dao has no feelings, but this thing has a mysterious feeling, like the Tai Chi diagram, or some other model of the Great Dao. It's like, if you punch a tree, you will feel pain."

"But the great principles of heaven and earth are even more vast and complex."

"But the world will eventually react. Now that we have used convenient methods to benefit from nature, if we delay in fulfilling our promises, the interest will snowball, and the final 'response' will be enormous."

“This kind of method is just a heretical path. What Master Puxian is good at is ‘practice and vows’. That is to say, after he makes a vow, he starts to actually do the work.”

The white jade lion cat had no choice but to begin explaining Buddhist matters to Lord Zhou, and then said, "So, just like my wisdom Prajna, that six-tusked white elephant is also related to the lineage of Samantabhadra."

Zhou Yan glanced sideways at the white jade lion cat on his shoulder: "Do you have any wisdom?"

The white jade cat remained unfazed: "I think I do!"

The wisdom I've been pondering!

Zhou Yan looked up at the sky and sighed, "Monk Kongkong, you really don't know how to raise a cat."

The white jade lion cat said:

“Profound vows and aspirations lead to immense power.”

"That giant elephant possesses the terrifying power to move mountains. In terms of sheer strength, it is undoubtedly the number one land-dwelling divine beast, and its Buddhist teachings are even more profound."

"The six teeth represent the perfect power of the six perfections of generosity, morality, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom. With these six teeth transformed into Dharma treasures, one can trample on demonic obstacles and flatten all obstacles on the path of spiritual practice."

"Where his footsteps touched, the earth shook and mountains trembled."

"For defense, there is the Vajra Bodhicitta. As long as Samantabhadra Bodhisattva sits on the back of the six-tusked white elephant, he can release his own state of mind to suppress all chaos, fear and turmoil, so that all beings within the range can have peace of mind and be fearless."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan paused slightly and said, "...With the power to move mountains, the six-tusked white elephant can transform into a true form similar to a Dharma image!?"

The white jade lion cat said, "Roar!"

"Yes, it's about, um, about half the height of Mount Emei, right?"

Zhou Yan listened with envy and admiration: "It can fight and withstand attacks, and it can also transform greatly. In fact, as long as you put a high-ranking monk or Taoist priest on it, it can be transformed into a group-wide buff ability. That's a good mount."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Lord Zhou glanced at the white jade lion cat.

Lord Zhou said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

The white jade lion cat was furious and said:
"Mahayana Buddhism, get rid of me..."

"Go!"

The lord held a twig between two fingers and thrust it with pinpoint accuracy into the lion cat's throat. He then swiftly pulled it out, interrupting the spell. The white jade lion cat, having failed, hung its head in dejection. The young Taoist, his hands hidden inside his robe, laughed heartily:

"In short, since you know him so well, you must have some connection with this six-tusked white elephant. So, when we go to the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra's temple on Mount Emei, I'll trouble you to try and build a relationship with him."

The white jade lion cat coughed, its gaze instinctively drifting to the lower right.

"Of course, just watch me!"

"It'll definitely be fine, right!"

Feeling guilty—

Zhou Yan then went to find those mountain gods, especially the Nine Old Cave God. The old man was overjoyed to hear that Zhou Yan had gone there and thwarted one of An Lushan's plots. He said, "Master, you are truly a man of integrity!"

"Not at all, not at all. However, although we have tokens, we still need to trouble the old Master Sichen to make a trip in advance to contact the other mountain gods in Shu."

Si Chen of Jiu Lao Dong patted his chest and agreed without hesitation.

However, even if there is contact, have any of these forces been infiltrated by Shi's agents? No, based on the information we have so far, they have definitely been infiltrated, but Fuxi's activities prevented them from continuing to expand.

Balance...

Therefore, taking action against the Duke of Taishan means that the other party intends to disrupt the balance.

Using a top-grade Dao Fruit as bait, will this incite conflict between different forces within this fragile balance, ultimately seeking an opportunity?

Zhou Yan pondered these things, but these truths and clues were hidden beneath the changing times and were difficult to discern immediately. After sorting out the problems with his true self, Zhou Yan went to visit the Goddess of Mount Li.

Fuxi seems to have found out something and has gone into hiding.

After completing his daily task of eating Nuwa's snacks in front of Fuxi's tablet, Lord Zhou was about to leave when the Old Mother of Lishan called him back, took out two things and handed them to him. The old lady smiled kindly and said, "These things are the residue of the previous paint."

pigment?

Zhou Yan realized that it referred to the "Warlord's World-Suppressing Diagram" behind him. The Warlord's World-Suppressing Diagram was made of Chi You's precious blood and Manjushri's true dragon blood, and it used Buddhist Zen principles to seal the Warlord's killing intent.

The remaining part consists of malevolent energy and pure dragon blood essence.

Zhou Yan opened the two porcelain bottles. One was filled with a blood-red glow, while the other contained golden blood suspended in the air, faintly emitting a deep dragon's roar. The former had lost all fighting spirit, leaving only chaotic and malevolent energy; the latter had shed its Buddhist and Zen-like qualities, leaving only the majesty of a dragon.

The term "impurity" is only relative to the two individuals themselves.

These two separated things are still treasures in this world.

The Old Mother of Lishan said, "You look tired and weary again. You must have been out adventuring again. I am an old woman and don't need these things. You can keep them; they might be of some help."

Zhou Yan thanked her in a gentle voice. After thinking for a moment, he took out the sachet he was wearing at his waist, which contained the Seed of Earth. He said, "Grandma, I have something else to show you. It's a gift from my friend. I wonder if you could help this seed grow."

The Old Mother of Lishan smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

"Planting is also one of my strengths."

Zhou Yan was overjoyed and gave the old lady the earth seeds that Hou Ji had given him. After a long while, he took his leave. The Old Mother of Lishan watched Zhou Yan leave, smiled and withdrew her gaze, saying, "This child is also about to embark on the path of battle."

"As for these seeds..."

The Old Mother of Lishan stretched out her hand, pointed to a piece of land in the courtyard, and then took out the seed and buried it in the ground, saying, "I don't know if it will grow well."

She used her supernatural powers, but found that the Earth Seed was really difficult to grow well. She was not good at this lineage of methods, but she had already promised the child, so she was a little troubled.

One of her flaws is that she tends to put on an act in front of her children.

Suddenly remembering something, he chuckled softly and went about his normal life. When he arrived at Fuxi's memorial tablet, he didn't look at the tablet but stared into the distance, sighing and saying, "Alas, what a pity. It's rare for that child to come and ask me for help."

“I have already spoken my mind, but I have discovered that the power gathered by Houji is not so easy to dissolve. After all, the Seed of Earth is a creation from a very long time ago. With my power and supernatural abilities, I cannot make it grow in this era.”

“Next time that child comes, I will lose face in front of the younger generation.”

"It's alright."

"It's just that the younger generation laughs at me in their hearts, saying that I'm an old woman with no real skills, and all I know is how to talk big..."

"It's nothing if someone criticizes you a few times."

"It's just that he was a bit untrustworthy."

"Anyway, no one cares about an old woman like me."

The old lady chattered on for a while, and then went to rest.

After a long while, a sigh came from the memorial tablet, and a clear light emerged. A handsome young man appeared there, shouldered the Xuanyuan Sword, walked to the seed stalks, and began digging again, gritting his teeth:

"Zhou Yan, you brat, don't send things here for no reason!"

"However, what Awa said is bound to succeed."

"I will absolutely not let Awa's promise remain empty, but—"

The handsome celestial being, wielding a broad sword and digging at the ground, twitched his eyes, a smirk appearing on his lips that revealed teeth resembling human tiger fangs. His dark golden eyes transformed into vertical pupils, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll remember this debt, Zhou Yan!"

In Fuxi's little notebook, Zhou Fujun added a stroke after the last line.

There are so many tally marks after Lord Zhou's name that I can hardly write any more.

Fuxi, who could manipulate the common people and single-handedly drag the historical process to a delicate balance, wielded the Xuanyuan Sword, gritting his teeth and muttering that name viciously as he pounded the ground.

Looking up, one observes the celestial phenomena; looking down, one observes the laws of the earth!
He observed the markings of birds and beasts, and the suitability of the land. He drew inspiration from his own body and from all things, and thus created the Eight Trigrams. He also taught the people to tie knots to make nets for fishing and hunting, and to use paired animal hides as gifts in marriage. He also invented the zither and the se, and tasted hundreds of herbs to create the Nine Needles.

Fuxi reached the pinnacle of all human skills.

The next day, when the Old Mother of Lishan awoke, she saw that the tiny seed of the earth, spanning thousands of years, had reconnected with the earth's veins and sprouted green shoots. The Old Mother of Lishan smiled, and in her gentle eyes, there was a rare hint of cunning.

On this day, there were even more incense and snacks offered in front of Fuxi's memorial tablet.

Watching the old lady quietly brewing tea, the handsome young man in the corner crossed his legs and ate some pastries.

"This time, I'll consider you to have passed, you brat."

Having received incense and snacks from Awa, his displeasure with the boy subsided.

At this moment, Zhou Yan found Shen Cangming practicing his sword. The man's martial arts skills had been completely stabilized, and even improved further thanks to Li Longji's elixir, Louguan Dao's recuperation, and finally, the arrow that struck the Buddha and Demon Bodhisattva between the eyebrows.

Peak of the fifth rank!

At close range, he wields the Mo Dao, a weapon used in the fierce battles of the borderlands, and wears the mountain-patterned armor specially made by the Tang Dynasty. He also carries the Qin Emperor's bow used to shoot down the Kunpeng. Whether in close combat or long-range battle, he is at the pinnacle of ordinary human military skills. Furthermore, due to the opportunity of having his severed arm reattached, his originally rough internal energy has become quite robust.

He had enough fighting spirit and experience; the only thing holding him back was his mental illness.

There is an obstacle in my heart.

Therefore, he never broke through the realm, from the fifth-rank level of heroes of the world to the fourth-rank level of a master in the human world, a half-step immortal god. Zhou Yan actually knew what Shen Cangming's heart disease was.

While Shen Cangming was resting after practicing his swordsmanship.

He took the knife from Shen Cangming and handed him a gourd filled with water.

As Shen Cangming took the gourd, Zhou Yan said softly, "Uncle Shen."

"Ok?"

"I fought against An Lushan."

The atmosphere suddenly froze.
