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

Chapter 388 Using a Pretense to Cultivate Truth
Chen Zhongtang said, "Master is waiting for Young Master Xie in the garden. He told Young Master Xie that if he has seen Miss Leng, he should go over and have a chat."

Xie Lingxin gently pushed open the door and peeked through the crack.

Leng Qingci lay on the bed, her face, sculpted like porcelain, devoid of color, only a faint bluish-white.

It has truly turned into celadon.

However, judging from the sounds, her breathing was even, though she seemed a little weak.

It should be nothing serious.

"Let's go."

The person was resting, and Xie Lingxin didn't plan to go in and wake them up.

Following Chen Zhongtang, they arrived at a courtyard.

Chen Yuntao was striking strange poses there.

Xie Lingxin glanced at it a few times and thought it resembled some kind of martial art.

It looks ordinary, but in Chen Yuntao's hands, he doesn't think it's really ordinary.

Everyone says that the Chen family's foundation lies in the Cloud Thunder Heavenly Drum Diagram, but Xie Lingxin feels that it may have been in the past.

Right now... the Chen family's greatest asset is Chen Yuntao himself!

"coming?"

Chen Yuntao seemed to realize it only after a while, and slowly stopped, turned around, and smiled.

"Patriarch Chen, what exactly happened?"

Xie Lingxin has always maintained a respectful but distant attitude towards Chen Yuntao.

Even though Chen Yuntao seemed to be showing him affection in every way, he pretended not to notice.

So I didn't want to exchange pleasantries with him; I just wanted to get straight to the point.

"Who attacked the Leng family?"

"How could it be that Patriarch Chen would happen to lend a helping hand?"

Although the Leng family is not a prominent family, they are a family with a long tradition of classical studies and are well-known in the Far East Star.

Both Leng Yanwu and Gu Wan possess title-level cultivation.

On Far East Star, those who dare to attack them and have the ability can be counted on one hand.

Chen Yuntao smiled slightly: "From what you're saying, you seem to doubt me?"

Xie Ling thought to herself, "That's not necessarily the case. But as far as I know, the Chen family and the Leng family don't seem to have any connection, do they?"

Chen Yuntao suddenly snorted coldly: "It's not just that we have no relationship; we're practically enemies."

"Kid, I didn't expect you to be so popular. Tell me, what's your relationship with that girl from the Leng family?"

"..."

Xie Lingxin's face twitched slightly: "What nonsense is Patriarch Chen talking about?"

"It's good that it's nonsense."

Chen Yuntao said, "Kid, I'm warning you, Jin Xin is ignoring me because of you. You absolutely mustn't let her down!"

"..."

Can we get down to business? Stop talking nonsense!

Xie Lingxin felt completely bewildered.

You're still talking about Chen Jinxin?

Who wronged whom?

That heartless woman left without saying goodbye! I haven't even settled the score with her yet!
Chen Yuntao, perhaps using a pretext to lash out, said a few words to Xie Lingxin before calming down.

He said, "The Leng family was attacked because of the 'Guanyin Precious Scroll'."

"The Guanyin Precious Scroll?"

Xie Lingxin was taken aback.

What is this?

"The Guanyin Precious Scroll..."

Chen Yuntao's eyes flickered slightly: "I've heard that you are well-versed in ancient classics and history. How much do you know about 'Guanyin'?"

Xie Lingxin didn't understand what he meant, nor did she intend to show off: "Shouldn't you ask the people at Guanyin Temple about this?"

Chen Yuntao smiled slightly, not caring whether Xie Lingxin truly didn't know or was pretending not to.

"There are millions of cultivation paths in the Federation, but in ancient times, they were only a few, with Taoism and Buddhism being the two main branches."

"In the Buddhist lineage, the practice of seeking enlightenment aims for 'Buddha,' with 'Buddha' being the highest attainment. Below Buddha is 'Bodhisattva,'"

"'Guanyin' is the most supreme and honored among the Bodhisattvas, not below the Buddha, but almost equal to the Buddha."

Chen Yuntao earnestly explained the science to Cang, as if he really didn't understand.

"Rumor has it that the Wang family, a top-tier clan on Central Star, once obtained a fragment of an ancient scripture."

"This fragment is related to the 'Guanyin' position in mythology."

Xie Lingxin sensed something in his words and raised an eyebrow: "You mean, the Leng family has something else related to this incomplete scroll? Or even other parts of the scroll?"

"Is that Wang family member searching for the domain coordinates on the incomplete scroll?"

Chen Yuntao nodded, then shook his head.

"The Wang family is indeed searching for the remaining fragments, but... given the Wang family's appetite and ambition, they won't just be after a single domain."

Xie Lingxin asked in surprise, "What is that?"

Chen Yuntao's expression turned solemn: "What they are seeking... is the position of 'Guanyin'!"

"A position of enlightenment? The Wang family practices the Buddhist lineage?"

Chen Yuntao shook his head: "I meant 'the fruition of Guanyin,' not fruition."

"What do you mean?"

Xie Lingxin was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened: "You mean... someone among them wants to become 'Guanyin'?!"

Chen Yuntao laughed and said, "What? Surprised?"

Have you ever heard of the stories of immortals playing in the mortal world and manifesting their divine powers before the mortal realm in ancient times?

"Are you talking about artificially created realms?" Xie Lingxin recalled hearing similar statements when she first started cultivating.

Ancient cultivators roamed the mortal world, displaying their divine abilities and employing various methods to create legendary realms and gain legendary power.

"This is just one of them..."

Chen Yuntao said, "Evolutionary Domain Realm... someone with such ability wouldn't need to use such methods to obtain legendary power."

Have you ever wondered if the immortals and Buddhas in myths and legends really exist?

"In other words, do you think it was human legends that created immortals and Buddhas, or immortals and Buddhas that created humankind?"

"..."

Xie Lingxin was numb.

Why is this the problem again?

This isn't the first time he's been asked this question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Chen Yuntao suddenly smiled: "Actually, I don't know either."

"..."

"But there is indeed such a method..."

"If you can evolve a realm and replace a certain immortal or Buddha within it, then you might actually become that immortal or Buddha."

"This is called... using the false to cultivate the true!"

Chen Yuntao said, "From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of anyone who truly cultivated themselves to become an immortal, but..."

"Those who use falsehood to cultivate truth and successfully replace the legend to become true immortals and Buddhas are indeed real beings."

Xie Lingxin was stunned: "You can do that?"

Chen Yuntao laughed and said, "That really works."

After thinking about it carefully, Xie Lingxin realized that this was not surprising.

Everyone talks about cultivating immortality, but immortals are originally just people.

Isn't this kind of cultivation also a form of immortality cultivation?

According to the Federation's established understanding, so-called gods and myths are not real and have never existed.

It is merely a spiritual world born from human legends.

That makes perfect sense...

Does that mean that the immortals, Buddhas, gods, and demons in myths and legends may have already been replaced by real "people"?
So, after obtaining the Great Emperor's Sutra-Preaching Diagram, were the immortals and gods he worshipped actually from mythology, or...?

Xie Lingxin's throat bobbed.

Suddenly I felt a chill run down my spine.

He suddenly realized something and blurted out, "Is the land of the Thirty-Six Heavens the key to the evolution of the legendary realm?"

Chen Yuntao laughed and said, "You know quite a lot, and you react quickly. Not bad, that's true."

"To evolve a domain within one's own sea of ​​consciousness is not much different from creating a world of creation,"

"With that kind of ability, one would have become an immortal long ago. Why would one need to borrow a false form to cultivate the true?"

"But the Thirty-Six Heavens are different; the land there possesses both material and spiritual essences."

Chen Yuntao said, "You don't need to think too much about it; it's still too far away for you."

"I'm telling you all this so that you understand the Wang family's goal, and that they'll stop at nothing to achieve it!"

Xie Lingxin thought to herself, "You mean they'll come again?"

He was suddenly startled: "They didn't get what they wanted?"

Chen Yuntao held up something in his hand: "I arrived in time and prevented them from taking it away."

"Hehe... It's not that it will come again, it's that it has already come."

"boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard.

In the courtyard, the layers of tree shadows and flower shade suddenly began to sway violently.

Like countless swords and spears, they exuded a chilling and deadly sharpness.

It came crashing down on Chen Yuntao and Xie Lingxin.

"I've been waiting for you!"

Chen Yuntao let out a cold laugh.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from a clear sky, swift and fierce, instantly engulfing the entire area.

"Corpse Accumulation Palm!"

A loud voice, tinged with a sinister undertone, suddenly erupted.

A gigantic hand, seemingly formed from countless wisps of black and red smoke, appeared to emerge from the void, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters in radius.

This completely conceals the garden.

The overwhelming pressure poured down like a mountain collapsing.

"Crack!"

In an instant, Xie Lingxin felt her body sink into the ground, and the hard ground beneath her feet began to crack inch by inch.

The ground seemed to have dropped several inches out of thin air.

Xie Lingxin felt as if her bones and flesh were about to crumble inch by inch.

Startled, he immediately mustered all his strength and unleashed a palm-sized Buddha Kingdom.

However, his Buddha-land in the palm of his hand seemed somewhat insignificant under the enormous black and red palm.

Like an ant trying to shake a tree, it couldn't even hold out for a moment.

"Hey!"

It was right there that he heard Chen Yuntao's voice.

The laughter contained contempt for the other party.

"A god has appeared in Lei Ze, shocking the entire region!"

"Roar--!"

He vaguely saw Chen Yuntao waving his hands.

The earth shook violently, and the weather changed dramatically!
A massive, overwhelming surge of thunder, like a dragon swirling back, converged upon us.

It was as if a giant thunder dragon roared out from the boundless thunder pool between his palms!

"hold head high--!"

What I saw around me were tree shadows, flower shades, and giant palms.
All of them vanished like torn fragments in the blink of an eye.

"puff!"

A dark figure shot up.

Xie Lingxin's face was slightly pale.

What was once a beautiful garden now looks like a place that has just been hit by a typhoon.

Trees were broken and pebbles were everywhere.

Even the ground looked as if several layers had been sheared off.

Even though he had witnessed the battle between the faceless Buddha's incarnation and the Shenxiao Taoist and Bi'an, and had also seen the magnificent scene of the faceless Buddha's descent.

He even had an experience of being in God's-eye view.

But ultimately, it's just observing from the sidelines, separated by a layer, so the feeling isn't real, and it's mostly a struggle of inner strength.

In fact, its destructive power is not as great as imagined.

But what I just experienced was a firsthand one.

This kind of real, physical destructive power is so real and so shocking.
