Chapter 1391 Divine Order
'Five Eyes... what a cunning old fox...'
Amidst the swirling snow, a myriad of scenes unfolded in the mirror on the jade table. The white-robed immortal sat before the mirror, watching the scenes before him slowly disappear before rising to his feet. After a moment's contemplation, he began to pace back and forth in the hall.
Although Dangjiang is useful, it is such an important matter that he naturally cannot ignore it. He personally oversees this first contact, both to check for any changes in the outside world and to observe Dangjiang's performance.
"I didn't expect... this guy actually has some skill..."
Back then, when he was weak, he stole a fragment of Jinlian's soul and then sent it to deal with Chi Buzi. In the meantime, he secretly performed many castrations to reshape a personality for him. But old habits die hard. Over the years, as his memories have become clearer and his experience has grown, this guy has slowly started to show signs of reverting to his old ways, and even remembered wanting to drink milk.
This was originally a destabilizing factor, but now that he has been released, a bad thing has turned into a good thing.
"With his methods and the support of two seemingly perfectly legitimate Buddhas, fooling these monks is no problem. He just needs to consider... how to handle any mishaps that might occur."
Not everyone has five eyes; what if someone has ulterior motives?
This is a significant problem. Buddhist cultivators and immortal cultivators are completely different. They have almost no autonomy. Their cultivation level and even their lives are entirely controlled by their superiors. While the [Name Stone] can indeed bypass Buddhist territory to eliminate them, there will inevitably be consequences in reality.
"For example, these five-eyed beings, if they dared to resist, would have been killed by the surging river in the wondrous land. If I hadn't intervened, they would have been nothing but empty shells in this world, instantly dying with a bang!"
The path of Buddhist cultivation is like a stagnant pool, with no breakthroughs or deaths to speak of. Nowadays, it is rare for Buddhists to go astray or fall into demonic possession. If a highly skilled Buddhist cultivator who has been cultivating step by step dies for no apparent reason, the Buddhist community will surely notice. When they turn around and see that he has died suddenly without any basis, it will not only alarm one or two Mahasattvas, but it is very likely that more cautious Dharma bodies will come out to take a look.
'Even if the Dharma Image can't discern anything, one such occurrence is enough to alarm everyone. If it happens three or four times, wouldn't it uproot the entire sandalwood forest!'
He was still unsure about the relationship between Luoxia and Shixiu, and even when faced with these lifeless Dharma images, Lu Jiangxian could not be careless.
'The current method... is that at the moment of being obliterated in the Land of Wonders, the consciousness returns to the original body, erasing all memories since entering the Land of Wonders and smoothing out all traces...'
These people have already ascended the naming stone. With Lu Jiangxian's methods, she can naturally manipulate them at will. However, while this act of cutting off flesh is safe, it will inevitably result in some losses. It is fine to show pity, but if it is a high-level cultivator who has lived eight or nine lifetimes, then it is a great loss.
'Furthermore, Dangjiang can't manage everything alone, and it's not a good look with the whole place empty. It would be better if we could bring him directly up to the heavens and find him some helpers.'
He pondered for a while and felt that this matter would most likely fall on the Li family. He kept his eyes open and turned away, but his mind was preoccupied with another matter.
'Emptiness and nothingness…'
Back then, when the names of the Buddhist monks fell among the rocks, he secretly followed them without sensing anything. Now, for the first time, five eyes have come to heaven, and his power has greatly increased. By making a connection and calculation, he was able to sense a part of the Void Dao Buddhist Land!
'Indeed, there is no Dharma form... If I could ascend to the level of Maha-measuring, I might even be able to understand the essence and origin of the Path of Emptiness.'
What made him hesitate was that he indeed sensed an extremely terrifying aura on this sacred land, as if it were a mark left by someone existing in the sacred land to shield high-level immortal cultivators and isolate them from everything.
This aura prevented him from making any rash moves. Lu Jiangxian did not underestimate Shi Dao, but merely kept a close eye on him.
"Great Zen... Heavenly Acharya?"
Lu Jiangxian held a deep sense of vigilance towards this supreme Buddha, the only one to appear in the world in Buddhism and Taoism:
'The entire Seven Phases system was established through offerings from below, and He resides in the Sandalwood Forest, so His foundation is likely profound. Since He left behind methods, it means He does indeed have a response, and may even be alarmed by the changes in the present world.'
He retreated first, frowning slightly, and suppressed his thoughts:
"On the Buddhist side, there's no need for too many incentives. The various mystical images I placed in the hall were originally meant to represent the golden ground, so that they could contemplate them. This is quite beneficial for Mahayana practice. Besides, using the image of the golden ground to lure them in is more than enough."
Wu Mu was merely testing the waters; he finally turned his attention to another Lianmin… Although her cultivation was also insufficient, she was extremely unique.
Qinling Temple!
Empty!
Since receiving the inheritance from the Li family, this Buddhist monk returned to the mountains to cultivate compassion and has since lived in seclusion, fearing execution by the Mingyang Emperor…
'With his current level of cultivation, it's far from enough to obtain the Golden Land…'
The color in his eyes gradually deepened:
'But I... can tear this golden land down and give it to him! Let him inherit all the treasures left within that golden land, and he will instantly become a Maha with boundless potential!'
'That's a brilliant move!'
……
Moon Lake.
The night was pitch black, the doors and windows were tightly closed, but the candlelight inside the cave flickered on and off, as if some invisible current was flowing through the cave, disturbing the spiritual patterns of the great array beside it, which also flickered as if breathing.
The young man in the long robe sat upright in his seat, his hands clasped together, shining brightly as if suppressing various true essences and magical powers. A series of crisp sounds rang out before his eyes, and the jade slip, which was as hard as wood and as hard as stone, was placed on the table, trembling constantly, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
After he finished writing the last stroke, the jade slip finally trembled, flashing with brilliant light, like a red-hot branding iron, causing thick smoke to rise from the table...
'Finally... done!'
Li Suining took a deep breath, swaying slightly as if exhausted, before putting down his pen, coughing twice, moving the object aside, wiping away the charred marks on the table, warming it with his true energy, and letting it cool slowly. He then swallowed a pill and felt better.
As he stood up, a hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder, and a warm current surged into his body, invigorating him. He hurriedly turned his head and, sure enough, saw his master's slightly worried face!
"I've seen a real person!"
He hurriedly stepped aside, intending to bow, but was stopped by Li Ximing.
Having learned from this experience of flying into space, Li Ximing felt much more at ease and comfortable with him. Glancing at his exhausted face, she felt a pang of sympathy, pulled him to sit down, and said:
"While spiritual practice is important, we must also cherish our bodies?"
Li Suining bowed deeply, but did not argue, and said:
"Please look at the real person!"
He then took the jade slip and presented it with both hands. Li Ximing took it with a slight doubt, gently rubbing it with his thumb, and silver characters lit up on it:
【The Mysterious Walking Technique】!
This thing is none other than the Tai Xu Walking Method, unique to the Golden Elixir Daoist lineage!
Li Ximing was speechless for a moment, then stood up and exclaimed in shock:
"Walking technique!"
Li Suining nodded with a smile.
He awoke from his cave dwelling and, not daring to be negligent, settled matters in the north while naturally writing down what he had gained in this life:
'The method of walking... actually existed in my previous life, but at that time I didn't understand the rules, and I stayed on the lake year after year, so naturally I didn't need to cultivate this method of walking... I never studied it in detail.'
Having gained experience in this life, he naturally made a point of reading it, which is why he was able to recite it from memory today!
'This walking technique, its origins unknown in his previous life, seems to be nowhere to be found in the world. Yet, according to the True Person Su Yun, among all the walking techniques still existing, this one is definitely considered above average!'
He knew, of course, how surprised Li Ximing was. The Taixu Walking Technique had always been sealed by the Golden Core lineage. It possessed all sorts of wondrous powers, and only those from the Golden One and Luoxia lineages had the possibility of possessing this technique!
Li Ximing was secretly alarmed:
'Thank goodness I made this trip!'
[Shanghuan Pavilion] Above, the Li family has certainly considered acquiring the Travel Technique, but it's simply too expensive. The cheapest one costs 919 Immortal Merit Points, which the Li family didn't even dare to dream of back then. They only tried to find the Travel Technique in the mortal world...
Over the years, he had visited countless grottoes and explored countless secret realms, but had found absolutely no trace of anything. As time ticked by and his immortal cultivation techniques accumulated by thousands, Li Ximing naturally had his own ideas, but he was simply too precious to deal with. He decided to wait for Li Zhouwei to return so they could discuss it properly…
'But he happens to have one in his hand!'
Li Suining simply bowed with his hands clasped and said solemnly:
"Reporting to the True Immortal, all methods of moving through the void are supreme techniques, difficult to record. This disciple spent some time searching for many spiritual objects before finally managing to imprint them..."
Li Xi knew that he was afraid that Li Zhouwei would be going on a western expedition and secluded in his Zifu cultivation, thus wasting time. He had even written a special document for him. Li Xi nodded silently, closed his eyes, and focused his mind. He felt a sudden jolt in his mind.
In an instant, a flood of wondrous thoughts rushed into his mind, leaving him standing there speechless for a long time before finally saying:
"wonderful!"
There was a strange look in his eyes.
"It's actually a wonderful method from the 'Xuan Tu' school!"
This work was naturally written by Lu Jiangxian.
The method of walking is not a simple technique; otherwise, it would not have been hidden by the Golden Core lineage. Lu Jiangxian hesitated for a long time before choosing "Xuan Tu".
The most important thing is that he has a "Xuan Tu" metal nature that he can visualize at will!
With this "Xuan Tu" metal element, he can not only easily create a walking method, but also save a lot of time. Moreover, "Xuan Tu" is located in the transformation position among the five manifestations, which itself conforms to the way of walking and change!
As for the other Bright Yang Metal element in his hand, it can certainly provide some insights, but firstly, Bright Yang is far inferior to Xuan Earth in this area. This thing is not incompatible with Li Zhouwei. Secondly, Xuan Earth is not afraid of thunder and can deconstruct the primordial magnetism. It is also a transformation, which can supplement the 'Complete Elixir'!
From Li Ximing's perspective, however, this "Xuan Tu" method seemed rather abrupt. He carefully considered it and was amazed by its genius, but he couldn't help but sigh.
"This thing... it naturally won't affect 'Mingyang,' and because it follows a perverse path, it might even be beneficial, so Que Wan doesn't need to worry... only Jiang Qian..."
He shook his head and sighed, saying:
"He won't need it!"
Upon hearing that name, Li Suining's heart skipped a beat. Unconsciously, he felt a burning sensation on his neck, as if he had returned to the blazing hall, facing those eyes that flickered between light and shadow...
He stopped abruptly, standing frozen for a moment. His supernatural perception was incredibly sharp; Li Ximing also paused, waiting for a while before seeing Li Suining lower his head and calmly reply:
"Master Changli...has his own destiny!"
Li Ximing nodded silently, carefully read through the key points, and sighed:
"It's a good thing... but it's also a bit... difficult!"
The method of walking through the void is incredibly mysterious. It not only makes one travel through the void faster, but the [Mysterious Walking Method] also incorporates a large number of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping), earth-听 (earth-听 is a technique for escaping), 梭 (shuttle), 藏带 (slingshot) techniques, and even the key to entering and exiting secret realms and grotto heavens. It is dazzling, but when you look at it this way, its difficulty is no less than that of the [大离白熙光] technique that Li Ximing has been pondering for many years.
'Even worse!'
After all, cultivating this art cannot be done by taking shortcuts through talismanic energy; it places greater emphasis on Dao wisdom and Dao practice. Li Ximing observed it repeatedly before sighing:
"With my talent, I can barely even get started, let alone master it completely. I've only learned some key points of the Void Walk technique for traversing and escaping. If I want to use it smoothly, I'm afraid I'll have to rely on King Wei and Que Wan!"
Li Suining naturally knew this; in his previous life, Li Quewan had used this technique in combination with the Sleeve Technique to achieve various miraculous feats. He simply presented the technique and smiled at Li Ximing:
"I am not disturbing you without reason—Xuan Tao has been refined, and Que Wan has made all the necessary preparations in advance. Now I need you to come over and enter together during the final step!"
Li Suining was startled and seemed to be deep in thought.
"In my previous life, the great formation shattered, and the True Immortal was severely injured, which affected the lake area, delaying my ascent up the mountain for two or three years… Now, having escaped this calamity, and with the True Immortals from the north returning ahead of schedule, bringing back a large amount of supplies, I was able to proceed so quickly!"
This was undoubtedly excellent news. The sooner the secret realm was elevated, the sooner Li Suining would possess greater strength to influence the situation, which was something he desperately wanted. However, he was also secretly calculating in his heart:
'But... this isn't something that can be easily overcome.'
The "Divine Order" he cultivated was specially prepared by his clan. It was the Path of Profound Mystery, and it was said that one could "also serve as a god," and that one could entrust one's life to the Profound Mystery... It sounded impressive, saying that the upper limit of one's strength was the upper limit of the Profound Mystery. In reality, 99% of those who reached the Foundation Establishment stage would fail, and even their original strength would be hard to maintain. It was highly likely that they would fall to the Qi Refining level. The only advantage they would have was the ability to traverse the void and live a few more years. There was no future to speak of.
But Li Suining is different.
The "Divine Order" emphasizes its dual role as a priest, focusing on influencing global trends and the fall of powerful figures with supernatural abilities...
When combined with the Heavenly Essence, the resulting effect is absolutely terrifying!
To put it bluntly, because of Li Suining's serious injuries, death, loss of his Dharma body, or even sudden death, there are countless Mahakala who have manifested their true forms one by one. They could stretch from Jianghuai to Gujun. If they were to be pulled out alive, they could support the Eighth Land of Buddha!
He possessed all the divine powers of the Purple Mansion. Leaving aside Jianghuai for the time being, the secret realms that fell from Luoxia were like rain. Now, his message was sent to the north, changing the actions of many Purple Mansions. Even the Great True Person was saved by him!
"When it comes to manipulating the political situation, if I, Li Suining, claim to be second, which Foundation Establishment cultivator in the world dares to claim to be first? Only those from previous lives don't count; otherwise, even if Yao Guanyi came, he would have to admit defeat here!"
Because there is a magical power called "Jiaoluoyuan", in order to avoid misunderstanding, "Jiaoyuan Walking Method" is changed to "Xuanjiao Walking Method".
