Chapter 347 Dojo
"The remnants of the White Lotus Society planted a flesh-body Buddha Gu in you and chose you as the 'merit donor.' They are truly audacious."

Xiao Longtu laughed and said, "You actually thought you could infiltrate my Xiao family through you? I don't know whether to laugh at your stupidity or your cunning."

A hint of hatred flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes: "Then why don't you uproot them completely?"

Xiao Longtu laughed and said, "Do you think they don't know that we can detect the strangeness about you?"

“This is an open scheme; they know the Xiao family will never let this opportunity pass.”

"The White Lotus Society originated from a supreme Buddhist master named Huiyuan during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in ancient times,"

"Originally intended to help the world, save people, and enlighten all beings, it gradually became a cult in later generations."

"It is because of the supreme visualization method transmitted by Huiyuan that one can visualize the 'Buddhas of the ten directions',"

"Legend has it that these Buddhas of the Ten Directions are actually manifestations of the Buddha, the ancestor of all Buddhas."

"People from the Buddhist lineage of the Celestial Palace have said that the Buddha, the World-Honored One, constantly dwells in the human world, manifesting in various forms to preach the Dharma."

“In his earthly temple, he emits light from between his eyebrows, which shines throughout the ten directions of the world. Wherever the Buddha’s light reaches, he manifests ten emanations and creates the pure lands of Buddhas in the ten directions.”

"The Buddhas of the ten directions are merely the manifestations of the ten directions; they are originally ordinary sentient beings, possessing boundless compassion."

"But for some reason, when it was passed down to the White Lotus Society, it became the so-called 'Faceless Buddha,' with its doctrines and methods being extremely evil."

Xiao Longtu laughed and said, "But the vastness and greatness of the power of the Buddhas of the Ten Directions is beyond doubt. It is almost the closest power in the world to that of the Buddha, the World Honored One, Tathagata."

"The territory of Daheishan in Leizhou originated from the ancient Eastern Jin Dynasty. All the commotion the White Lotus Society caused before was actually just to obtain the profound meaning of the visualization left by Huiyuan and find a way to make the Faceless Buddha truly descend,"

"It seems they have succeeded now."

"If we can obtain the divine power of the Ten Directions Buddhas, our Xiao clan, while not necessarily acquiring the Ten Directions Buddha Land, can at least expand our territory within the Thirty-Six Heavens. It's not impossible that we might even truly evolve the Ten Directions Buddha Land in the future,"

"The White Lotus Society knows we won't let this opportunity pass; they want to use our power to achieve their goals."

Xiao Longtu shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Unfortunately, they are ultimately a bit petty; they probably fear they can't contend with us."

"By releasing this news, we have attracted powerful families like the Jin family to counterbalance our Xiao family."

He paused, then chuckled, "I just didn't expect that we'd be wiped out by Xie Lingxin alone. How ridiculous! In that case, we should thank Xie Lingxin. Why do you have any reason to hate him?"

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, veins bulging: "So you just watched me being used as a vessel for raising Gu poison?"

Xiao Longtu chuckled and said, "What's wrong with contributing to the family?"

"Only if you become the benefactor can we guarantee that when the Faceless Buddha descends, we will receive the divine power of the Buddhas of the ten directions."

"How easy is it for gods and Buddhas to descend into the material world? The more powerful they are, the greater the world's rejection and calamity they will attract."

"At that time, it will not be the Faceless Buddha who takes over your body, but you who will seize the Ten Directions Divine Power of the Faceless Buddha."

He patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder: "So, relax, this is your opportunity, and it's also the Xiao family's opportunity."

Xiao Yan knew in his heart that what he said couldn't possibly be entirely true, but he was still involuntarily comforted and relaxed.

……

Seven Star Grotto Heaven.

"You actually knew all this?"

Songjian was somewhat surprised after hearing Xie Lingxin's question.

He hadn't expected Xie Lingxin to have already come into contact with these things, and to be so deeply involved.

"Ugh……"

Matsuma sighed. He didn't think it was a good thing to be exposed to these things too early.

This can easily cause him to lose his composure and become overly eager for success.

"The Thirty-Six Heavens... are a combination of the Federal Government and numerous aristocratic families, based on the methods used by ancient immortals to create blessed lands, incorporating countless dead domains and grotto-heavens,"

"It took tens of thousands of years of evolution to become the thirty-six heavens we see today."

"What use is the land of the Thirty-Six Heavens...?"

Matsuma carefully considered his words: "It's quite simple: accumulate merit, ward off calamities, and entrust yourselves to the true spirit."

"Now you know that if you want to become an immortal, good deeds and merits are indispensable. Otherwise, when the calamity is over and disaster strikes, you will be unable to withstand it. What physical body and spirit, what cultivation and power, will all be nothing but ashes."

"This really works..."

"Human lifespan is actually very limited. No matter what, it is impossible to exceed the limit. Where is the limit? When one enters the realm of Grandmaster or Dharma Master, one's lifespan ends in one cycle."

"One generation lasts 30 years, and one cycle lasts 12 generations, which is 360 years."

"From ancient times to the present, without exception."

"Unless one finds a blessed land or grotto-heaven to harbor their true spirit, they can not overcome this limit."

Songjian said, "Do you know what the standards are for a Grandmaster or a Great Mage? Ten thousand eight hundred years of cultivation and spiritual practice."

"A human body has a mere 360 years of lifespan, how could anyone possibly cultivate it? Even becoming a grandmaster or a magician would be difficult!"

"Therefore, the necessary step and threshold to become a grandmaster or great mage is to find a blessed land where one can 'entrust one's true spirit,' also known as a 'Taoist temple.'"

"What is a Daoist temple? It is the realm where one attains enlightenment, the place where one gets the Dao!"

"Now you know why the Thirty-Six Heavens are so important to people?"

"Whether it's an individual or a powerful family, this is the root of destiny!"

"To attain enlightenment, one needs a Daoist temple. To become an immortal, this temple must possess boundless fortune, be able to house a true spirit, and be indestructible for eternity, only then will there be even the slightest chance."

"Therefore, it is impossible for wandering cultivators to become immortals."

"Even if you search all of ancient and modern times and find those who have left behind legends of becoming immortals, which one of them doesn't have a profound background and overwhelming fortune?"

After hearing this, Xie Lingxin felt somewhat unsettled.

So that's what "a blessed land" means?
Taoist temples... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that none of the immortals in those myths and legends are without roots.

He suddenly realized: "Grandpa Songjian, are the Seven Star Grotto Heaven and the Nine Palaces and Nine Halls also ancient places of refuge from calamity?"

Matsuma stroked his beard and laughed, "That's right, you finally figured it out."

"This is why, even though the Nanhe Wudang lineage was expelled from the Immortal Palace and many years have passed, they have never lost heart and still believe that one day they can return to the Immortal Palace,"

"As long as the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven exists, Wudang's fortune will never cease. If it's not possible now, then it will be for a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years! It will surely prosper again!"

Songjian said in a seductive tone, "Little Lingxin, look, if you become a member of the Wudang sect, the Seven Star Grotto will eventually be passed on to you."

"With your talent, you will become a Grand Mage in the future. All you lack is a place to entrust your true spirit. With the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, it's a sure thing!"

Xie Lingxin gave an awkward smile: "Grandpa Songjian, it's not that I'm ungrateful, but... I already have a sect."

"What?! Who?!"

Matsuma's expression changed drastically.

Which bastard dares to steal it?!

"This one……"

Xie Lingxin was actually quite moved after hearing his words.

If that's the case, I'll definitely need a place to practice in the future.

It's unlikely that Liu Ruozhuo's Laoshan Domain is the place where he, Ancestor Jingru, and Changchunzi sought refuge from calamity. It should also be the place where they entrust their true spirits.

If they give it to themselves, won't they be finished?

Forget it...

People can't be too greedy.

"Grandpa, don't worry. Although I can't become a disciple of Wudang, you haven't treated me like an outsider, have you?"

"Since we are not outsiders, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help Wudang return to the Immortal Palace and prosper again!"

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood.

From Bai Ruhui and Wulong Zhenren to Songjian, everyone in Wudang was incredibly proud of themselves.

Regardless of any ulterior motives, facts are facts.

Given the importance of the Seven Star Grotto, the small iron hoe that Songjian had given him earlier was even more precious.

With such a debt of gratitude, there is no reason for me to refuse.

Matsuma was immediately delighted: "Good, good, good! Good boy!"

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But in any case, Wudang will be your home from now on!"

Song Jian chuckled for a while, holding a jade date that Xie Lingxin had just given him: "And this thing you mentioned, although it can't directly convert spiritual energy, is a great treasure for refining elixirs!"

"I remember there was a kind of elixir called 'Lingfei San,' which could reach the divine and refine the power of the mind into a bright moon pearl or a firefly pearl. Oh, that means refining spiritual power."

"One of the main ingredients in this prescription is this rare and precious herb that can enhance one's spiritual energy,"

"I've never seen anything like this before. If you could get your hands on the Spirit Flying Powder, with your talent, you could probably refine even a precious pill, let alone a spiritual one!"

Songjian said with some regret, "However, this pill formula is very precious, and I'm afraid no one will take it out easily. As far as I know, in the Federation, only one family on Qingcang Star, the Nian family, has this pill formula passed down."

"Qingcangxing Nianshi?"

Xie Lingxin's expression was strange. What a coincidence?

Nian Youyou, one of the aristocratic scions of Jin Yuan, is a member of the Nian family.

The Water and Fire Elixir Cauldron was sold to her by Jin Yuan. If only she had known, she could have given it to him later and used it to exchange for the elixir formula…

Songjian asked, "What? You know him?"

"Oh, they must know each other..."

Matsuma nodded thoughtfully.

This little spirit is extraordinary; it seems that nothing unexpected happens to him.

"Alright then, since we know each other, you should ask him for help. Everything has a price. If you're willing to sell, it's worth paying more. If it's not enough, come to Grandpa. I still have some savings."

"Uh...no need."

Xie Lingxin was thick-skinned, but she was really embarrassed to ask Songjian for money even for this...

……

After returning from the Seven Star Cave, Xie Lingxin wanted to contact Nian Youyou to ask about Ling Feisan.

Suddenly, I saw Wangcai sneakily carrying something in its mouth in the yard.

"Wait a minute!"

Wangcai turned around, his eyes darting around nervously.

What are you holding in your mouth?

"Ow..."

Knowing he couldn't escape, Wangcai had no choice but to come over with his head drooping and put the food out of his mouth.

"Ow!"

Master, it's not my fault! The little pig brought it back!
Xie Lingxin ignored its excuses and picked up the thing.
