The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 2 Immortal Slayer? A Strange Cultivation System
"Master, you haven't taught me your supernatural powers yet."

"By the way, Master, what kind of supernatural power do you cultivate?"

The old monk continued walking, fiddling with the jade prayer beads in his hand, his voice low and deep:

"The Great Brahma Prajnaparamita".

Upon hearing the name, Zhong Xu was slightly taken aback, feeling that it sounded somewhat familiar!
Thinking of this, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly looked at the prayer beads in the old monk's hand, his expression becoming somewhat strange: "Master, after spending so many days together, this disciple still doesn't know your Dharma name?"

The old monk suddenly stopped, turned his gaze to Zhong Xu, and something seemed to be flowing in the depths of his eyes.

In an instant, Zhong Xu's mind went blank, and he felt that the old monk's gaze had become unusually terrifying, as if he had become a completely different person.

At that moment, a sense of absurdity suddenly arose in his heart, as if all his secrets had been completely seen through by the old monk in front of him, including his identity as a time traveler.

'How can it be? ’

Coming to his senses, Zhong Xu quickly shook his head, dispelling the absurd thought that had suddenly arisen in his mind.

At this moment, the old monk shifted his gaze and walked forward again, leaving behind only a slightly aged voice.

"Puzhi!"

"what"

"All phenomena are empty in nature; they are neither produced nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing."

In a slightly dilapidated temple, a series of old and deep voices continuously recounted the path of Buddhist practice.

Zhong Xu was distracted, listening to the chanting of scriptures in his ears while discreetly observing the old monk in front of him.

Puzhi's "Great Brahma Prajna" and the dark purple bead, which resembled a blood-devouring bead, in the jade rosary the other party held.
Zhong Xu now understood why he had transmigrated to this world.
Zhu Xian!

A fantasy world with an Eastern flavor, featuring a conflict between good and evil, but not a particularly high level of fantasy.

'Zhu Xian'

Memories of this world flooded his mind, and Zhong Xu began to ponder his future plans in this world.

If we're talking about this world, then practicing the Great Brahma Prajna in the early stages and becoming a monk wouldn't be a problem.

After all, all the various cultivation systems in this world, such as Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism, were derived from the insights of their respective sages from the heavenly scriptures.

However, just like the blind men touching an elephant, each of the Buddhist, Taoist, and demonic sects obtained a part from the heavenly book and believed that their part was the truth of heaven and earth, which led to the formation of different sects.

In reality, Buddhism, Taoism, and demonism in this world are all one, originating from a certain volume of the Heavenly Book.

Once he finds the remaining volumes of the Heavenly Book and integrates Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism, he will naturally no longer need to be a monk.

Thinking of his future mastery of cultivation, wielding the Immortal Execution Sword, and displaying a dashing and unrestrained style that chilled nineteen provinces with a single strike, Zhong Xu's lips curled up slightly, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

But before his thoughts could fully settle, he suddenly sensed something was wrong. He looked up and saw the old monk's deep and unfathomable eyes.

"Cough cough."

Feeling a little embarrassed when his distraction was discovered, Zhong Xu quickly regained his composure and listened attentively to the old monk's explanation.

Right now, he's just a little Karami who hasn't even embarked on the path of cultivation yet. If he wants to become an unparalleled sword immortal who can roam the world, he still needs to keep working hard!
The old monk glanced at the disciple but said nothing more, and continued to explain the great teachings of Buddhism.

"One should let one's mind dwell nowhere, for all phenomena are inseparable from one's own nature. In our Buddhist practice, we place even greater emphasis on realizing ourselves, understanding our true self, and seeing the five aggregates."

"In the initial stages of practicing the *Great Brahma Prajna*, one needs to maintain a state of mental stillness and deep meditation, regarding oneself as a world, concentrating all thoughts and consciousness to generate true energy within the body, filling the acupoints, thereby strengthening the foundation and cultivating vitality. This state is also known as 'cultivating oneself in meditation.'" "Once 'cultivating oneself in meditation' is completed, one's essence, energy, and spirit will be abundant, the body will be strong, and the foundation will be solid. One can then truly begin practicing the *Great Brahma Prajna*, and proceed to the next step, 'accumulating energy through meditation.'"

"Completion of the Lesser Perfection of the Great Brahma Prajna Sutra: Awakening the five senses of Buddhism, attaining the six supernatural powers of Buddhism through sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch."

One after another, voices containing profound Buddhist principles rang out, explaining to Zhong Xu the cultivation process of the "Great Brahma Prajna," the supreme Buddhist Dharma of this world.

Perhaps it is true, as the old monk said before, that Zhong Xu's body is deeply imbued with Buddhist intent, and he is a born Buddhist disciple, for he actually understood everything.

In the dim light, a sound like the morning bell and evening drum seemed to ring in his mind, constantly cleansing his soul and giving him a deep understanding of the Buddhist principles spoken by the old monk.

'Could it really be as this old monk said, that I have an affinity with Buddhism and am a born Buddhist?'

The image of himself in the future, wearing a kasaya and holding a staff, looking like a compassionate and peaceful high monk, flashed through Zhong Xu's mind. He couldn't help but shiver and quickly erased the image from his mind.

'No, I'm just naturally gifted with exceptional comprehension; I'm a cultivation genius, absolutely nothing to do with Buddhism!'

Yes, absolutely!

After calming himself down and reassuring himself, Zhong Xu continued to immerse himself in the old monk's explanation.

The old monk's voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to contain some special power. As it rang in Zhong Xu's ears, it also seemed to leave traces in his heart.

As time went by, Zhong Xu gradually began to feel that something was amiss with the cultivation method the old monk was explaining.

What's wrong?

A sudden thought flashed through Zhong Xu's mind, and he snapped back to reality.

Isn't this a world of fantasy and martial arts?

Why does the cultivation method the old monk is explaining seem more like martial arts training?
Is this right?
A question arose in his mind, but after thinking about it for a while, Zhong Xu temporarily suppressed the thought.

Perhaps the Great Brahma Prajna, or rather the Buddhist practice system of this world, is just like this?

It's understandable that he doesn't understand since he's only just begun cultivating.

Before Zhong Xu could ponder for too long, the old monk had already finished explaining the text of the Great Brahma Prajna Sutra and began to guide him on the specific details of his practice.

Seeing this, Zhong Xu temporarily put aside his doubts and, following the old monk's guidance, began his first cultivation practice.

The most basic requirement for practicing the Great Brahma Prajna is to enter samadhi, which simply means eliminating one's own distracting thoughts and entering a state of tranquility.

This is easiest for children with simpler minds, because they have fewer distracting thoughts and can easily enter this state.

Zhong Xu thought that because he had memories of his past life, his six senses were not pure and he had many distracting thoughts, he would not be able to easily enter a meditative state.

Just as he entered a meditative state following the old monk's instructions, a sound as clear as a morning bell suddenly rang in his mind, instantly clearing his mind and dispelling all distracting thoughts, allowing him to directly enter a state of deep meditation.

'Could it be a cheat code I brought with me when I transmigrated?'

Zhong Xu was overjoyed, but then distracting thoughts arose, and he almost broke out of his meditative state.

Seeing this, he quickly composed himself and returned to a meditative state.

The old monk watched this scene calmly, his gaze becoming incredibly deep, yet he remained unmoved by the disciple's outstanding performance.
