In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 336 Five-Colored Stone

late at night.

Xie Lingxin sat cross-legged in the hall, her eyes gently closed.

Wangcai, like an ordinary black and white puppy, with a red-handled black bell hanging around its neck, lazily curled up at the door.

Its ears, however, were perked up, constantly alert to its surroundings.

A pink, round little pig was curled up in its arms.

This scene looks quite peaceful and serene.

But at this moment, Xie Ling's mind was not at peace.

He was confronting his own inner demons.

This wretched creature seemed to know its end was near, and went completely mad.

It was as if they were going to perish together.

Unfortunately, it was born from his own nature, and it was within his consciousness.

Even though it is naturally powerful and has been lying dormant for a long time, it is still lacking in some aspects.

Xie Lingxin once again suppressed him with her Buddha Kingdom in her palm.

“You wicked child, I have already given you a chance. Since you have gone astray, I will let you start over.”

Xie Lingxin held the Mind Monkey tightly in her palm, and with a thought, the Innate Eight Trigrams Furnace appeared.

"Squeak! Roar!"

Upon seeing the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the Monkey King grew even more agitated, his eyes revealing a hint of resentment and fear.

Xie Lingxin had already made up her mind and would not hesitate any longer.

The furnace lid was opened, and the howling monkey was thrown inside.

"Squeak—!" The innate fire ignited and instantly engulfed it.

The monkey spirit screamed in agony inside the furnace.

Xie Ling thought it was like a still well.

He suddenly realized that he was quite ruthless.

This wretched creature is also "itself," it can be so cruel to itself.

Am I inherently cold-hearted?
Isn't it said that cold-hearted people are the ones who care the most about themselves?

Xie Lingxin calmed herself down and recalled every word and phrase from "Journey to the West".

So far, he has learned a lot from it.

The Way of Journey to the West, the Way of the Golden Elixir, the Way of Creation.

It contains everything about internal yin and yang, external yin and yang, the five elements in accordance with the natural order, the five elements in accordance with the natural order, the timing of cooking and the use of medicine, the way of heaven and human affairs.

A thousand demons and obstacles, mountains and rivers, are the calamities of cultivation.

By imbuing truth with falsehood, one can attain various great paths and methods, perhaps freeing oneself from birth and death, transcending reincarnation, surpassing the mortal world, entering the holy foundation, cultivating an immeasurable lifespan, and achieving indestructible Vajra.

Xie Lingxin recalled the profound principles that Changchunzi had spoken to him that night when he explained the "Sacred Way and Dharma Body".

It is said: Human life is hard to obtain, and impermanence is swift. We are born and die, and the cycle of reincarnation never ends. Once we lose our human life, we are destined for the evil realms forever. This is something to be feared and terrified.

People all over the world are born without knowing where they come from, and die without knowing where they are going. They live a life of drunken stupor and aimless existence.

They are unaware of the sea of ​​suffering, and do not know that they are trapped in the pit of fire. They take suffering for pleasure and falsehood for truth.

Little did they know that all worldly affairs and ties were weapons that harmed their nature, and that entanglements of love and affection were nothing more than pitfalls that led to their deaths.

The reason why Master Chongyang manifested the "Sacred Way Dharma Body" was nothing more than to seek the way to escape the pit of fire, get out of the sea of ​​suffering, abandon falsehood and preserve truth, so as to preserve life.

Human life is hard to come by, so we create the Dharma body to go through all kinds of tribulations and difficulties, overcome calamities, and cultivate truth within the falsehood.

The Dharmakaya arises from one's inherent nature, self-nature, and attachment to self. This Dharma also implies the purification of one's inherent nature, self, and attachment to self through calamities.

Leaving aside these mysterious and profound aspects, this method is actually about transforming one's true nature, self-nature, and ego into a sacred Dharma body.

It's somewhat similar to the "severing of the three corpses" in some novels, but it's only similar.

The restless mind is a manifestation of his true nature.

The threshold for attaining the Dharma Body of Creation is not low.

Besides cultivation level, one must at least possess the ability to reverse one's innate state and have the innate five elements.

All things originate from the Five Elements; this is fundamental.

The innate inner fire tempers one's nature, requiring years of consistent effort.

Changchunzi also relied on his own two feet to travel thousands of miles westward, enduring all kinds of hardships, in order to refine his true nature.

However, Xie Lingxin's understanding, which was personally passed down by Patriarch Chongyang, seems to differ from what Changchunzi said and is more complete.

With the Innate Eight Trigrams Furnace, this step seemed to be no difficulty for him at all.

I don't know how long it burned.

The restless mind was gone from the furnace; only a wisp of steam remained.

This energy is turbulent and boundless, unfathomable and still.

A single thought or feeling can bring forth a sense of enlightenment and perfect understanding.

Xie Lingxin recalled the text of the "Holy Path Dharma Body".

He said: "The spiritual root of man is the primordial, empty energy that contains all principles and responds to all things, hence it is called the spiritual root."

"This spiritual root, in terms of qi, is the righteous qi. This qi and this virtue are neither form nor emptiness, neither existence nor non-existence, vague and indistinct, profound and mysterious, containing the ultimate existence within the ultimate non-existence, containing the ultimate reality within the ultimate emptiness."

"It is the root of creation!"

Xie Lingxin knew the time had come and was about to act according to the law.

Suddenly, the words from "Journey to the West" flashed through my mind again.

"Great is the Qian Yuan! Supreme is the Kun Yuan! All things are born from it, thus following and obeying Heaven."

"Water, fire, mountains, rocks, and earth are called the five elements."

A flash of inspiration, as if a stroke of genius had struck.

The thought crossed his mind, and he reached out and beckoned.

From the East Sea, the golden cudgel was summoned.

It was summoned from the Wuzhuang Temple, where the innate wood spirit root was obtained.

A handful of mysterious water was drawn from the Water-Dirty Cave.

From beneath the earth, a handful of sacred soil is summoned.

All were thrown into the furnace, and together with the innate fire, the five elements were fused into one furnace.

That wisp of primordial, ethereal energy instantly transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors.

"rise!"

Xie Lingxin stared at the furnace, and when the time was right, she began to chant an incantation.

As soon as the furnace lid was opened a crack, a five-colored divine light burst forth.

A ball of something flew out and he reached out and grabbed it.

It was a multicolored stone, slightly larger than a fist.

Xie Lingxin's expression was somewhat strange.

Five-colored stones...

He recalled a line from Journey to the West: "Borrowing an egg to transform into a monkey to complete the Great Dao, using its name to match the elixir!"
So that's how it is?

He was a little dazed, his head felt itchy. But he quickly cleared his mind of all distractions.

Who cares.

He threw the five-colored stone in his hand, as if a god had cast down a beam of five-colored divine light from the heavens.

It fell into the East China Sea, atop the Huaguo Mountain.

"The spiritual root nurtures the innate essence, while the acquired essence is water and lead!"
Water flows smoothly, giving rise to people and all living things; it is the gateway to all wonders.

The sea is where all waters converge.

These five-colored stones are also his creative spiritual root and his true nature.

Nature should be nurtured here.

Besides, the stone monkey should be on Flower Fruit Mountain!

"call……"

in the hall.

Xie Lingxin awoke from her sea of ​​consciousness and opened her eyes.

Wangcai turned around and looked out the window. He saw two beams of five-colored divine light shooting out from it, and let out a howl in fright.

He then muttered something and lay down again.

Oh, it's the master. It's alright then...

Having followed Xie Lingxin for so long, Wangcai has long held a deep-rooted belief: its master is not human. Even if someone tells it that its master will one day become the ancestor of all immortals and the master of all gods, it will not doubt it.

It's not a matter of belief or not; it's a belief that it must uphold!
If you believe it, there is it; if you don’t believe it, there is none!

If that day ever comes, then Grandpa Wangcai City God could at least become a Grand Steward of the Three Realms, right?

Wangcai was having a sweet dream, his mouth was watering...

Xie Lingxin sat in place, observing both the inside and outside world.

His body hadn't changed much, but it seemed... after refining that monstrous thing, he felt much more relaxed.

It feels like something is suddenly clear.

Looking back, many things seem to have been the same...

Sure enough, without the restless mind, people really do become cold-hearted.

But if you let your restless mind linger, it will cause endless trouble in the future.

Fortunately, it hasn't been erased yet; it's just been reforged.

Or you could say...reshaping one's true nature?
[Spirituality: 41.78 (↑1.47)]

【Fate: 201545.51/1000000 (↑60023.45) (Sixfold)】

[Root Factor: Superior -6%]

The root structure suddenly grew several points.

It seems that advancing to the highest level of spiritual cultivation is not so far out of reach after all.

Xie Lingxin felt that her luck had recently exploded.

A great harvest was made within the Laoshan area.

He also rediscovered his true nature.

Before he could even process his joy, he received another message from Jiang Xian.

He had previously gleaned some profound insights into the concept of "following the laws of heaven and earth" from "Journey to the West," and entrusted him with the task of finding physical supernatural powers, hoping to apply these insights to other situations and cultivate the ability to follow the laws of heaven and earth.

Several months had passed, and he had almost forgotten about it, but now he says he has found it.

The laws of heaven and earth...

Xie Lingxin was really craving this supernatural power.

So without hesitation, he went straight to the appointment.

It was the same Jin Mantang I had arranged to meet last time.

The same goes for people.

Besides Jiang Xian, there was also Lu Wan.

"Sis, you're here too?"

Xie Lingxin put on a bright, fake smile.

In terms of interpersonal skills and making people feel comfortable and at ease, he is second to none.

Of course, people like Xiang Chongyuan, whom he dislikes, are an exception.

Lu Wan feigned reproach: "Little brother, you haven't looked for your sister in so long. Don't you care about your sister at all?"

"That's true. What kind of people are around Manager Xie? They're all from powerful families, each one of them obeying your every command. How could they possibly look down on someone like me?"

"Oh, sister, you've wronged me!"

Xie Lingxin protested, "Do you think those young masters really take me seriously? They've just never seen me like this before, they find it novel and are just playing around!"

"You have no idea, I went bankrupt trying to get them to help me with this!"

"I've been busy paying off my debts lately!"

Seeing that he was serious, Lu Wan cursed inwardly: You little rascal!
What haven't those scions of powerful families seen? Are they so easily bribed?

However, she finally had her doubts resolved.

Why did these scions of prominent families end up with Xie Lingxin?

It really is driven by self-interest.

Although it is unknown what benefits Xie Lingxin offered, anything that could move the hearts of a noble family's scion must be extraordinary.

Xie Lingxin herself is no ordinary person, given that she was willing to pay such a price.

However, her attempt to test the waters failed again.

Lu Wan came here this time to try and find out the truth about the killing of Jin Chi Bo Hai.

But this kid was slippery; after a few roundabout conversations, she didn't get a single useful piece of information.

The more he talked, the more I realized he really knew nothing about it and had nothing to do with it.

So he simply gave him a wink.

Jiang knew it was finally his turn.

"Deputy Steward Xie, I've finally found out what you're looking for."

Xie Lingxin's spirits lifted.

"However, I'm sorry to disappoint Deputy Steward Xie, I only managed to find out about that supernatural power, but I don't have the ability to get my hands on it."

Jiang Xian looked apologetic.

Xie Ling thought to herself, "It's alright, it's good enough to have news. Manager Jiang, please speak."

Jiang Xian smiled wryly and said, "This matter is probably not so easy, because..."

"The information I received came from a dead zone battlefield!"

"A while ago, the Federation army breached the lair of a legendary creature and obtained a statue there,"

"It is said that the statue is the source of the supernatural powers of these legendary beings, oh..."

Jiang explained, "These legendary creatures are called demons, and no one knows where they come from, but they all possess a supernatural power: they can transform into four-armed giants, which is extremely powerful..."
