Chapter 129 [Playing badly, lying down, being Buddhist]
The law was created, but it was not completely created.
Patching up the work of predecessors does not count as carving out your own path.
Fortunately, Lin Xian doesn't care. No matter whether it is the Heaven-Covering Method or the World-Covering Method, any method that can improve one's realm is a good method.
If he cannot break out of the system of his predecessors, he can at most become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. It is still a question whether he can become an Immortal King.
There are not so many worries, the main point is to do whatever you want and rule by doing nothing.
The sharpness of gold, the vitality of wood, the softness of water, the warmth of fire, and the thickness of earth, all mixed together, intertwined and transformed into a cloud of celebration, floating above his head. In addition, there were wisps of mysterious yellow energy hanging down, which was invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.
At this moment, Lin Xian felt that he had merged into one with the heaven and earth. He could mobilize all kinds of energy at any time. With every move of his hands and feet, natural Taoist power flowed. He could break the shackles of the human body at any time and move towards a wider world.
"That is the third secret realm - the Four Poles."
Lin Xian seemed to be thinking about something. His Dao Palace was now perfect. If he could take another step forward, he could be ranked alongside all the saints and geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness.
The Four Extremes Secret Realm, on the surface, is about training the limbs, reaching a state where the hands and feet are connected to the sky and the earth, and every move of the hands and feet is a state of mystical arts.
In fact, you will comprehend the order of heaven and earth, and your body will be imprinted in the virtual space. There will be all kinds of wonderful changes. In this secret realm, you will begin to focus on enlightenment, and no longer blindly pursue resources for cultivation.
Of course, if you have a Bodhi seed of the elixir of immortality, or dozens of kilograms of enlightenment tea, you can continue to spend money to cultivate immortality.
After all, enlightenment resources are also enlightenment.
Lin Xian holds a Bodhi seed in his hand. He possesses the wisdom of Buddha and his five internal organs resonate with each other. He has cultivated a world within the nine orifices, which is similar to the four extreme secret realms. The inside and the outside meet and he can connect to the great road of heaven and earth at any time. This is the foundation for becoming an immortal.
In a trance, he saw a door to the Four Poles open. At this level, there was no bottleneck. As long as he thought about it, he could break through and become a Four Poles monk.
He had a premonition that in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, he would progress very fast and with utmost perfection.
But Lin Xian didn’t take that step. Before entering the Four Poles, he still had to complete a transformation.
According to the guidance in the Taoist scriptures, he transformed twice in the Wheel Sea, and the Taoist Palace also needs to transform twice. By analogy, the Nine Transformations should be completed at the moment of breaking through the Immortal Platform.
After practicing the Five Spirits of the Taoist Palace, the physical body was sublimated. The next fourth transformation was to sublimate the soul based on the three selves of the past, future and present.
"I will live my life in vain, living off my parents and children, this is my belief!"
"In the future, I will lie flat, with infinite changes and only one collapse. It has become a certainty, and I am destined to become an immortal!"
"In the past, I was a Buddhist, unmoved, and immortal, sitting through the reincarnation cycle for eternity!"
Lin Xian sits cross-legged in the void, with the sun on his back, his eyes bright as stars, and he is firm in his belief. He really has that kind of will that will last through the years, whether he gives up, lies down, or is a Buddhist. No matter how he changes, he is always himself, doing nothing physically but doing everything in his heart.
"If my life is all mine, then I can plant a golden lotus in the fire."
Lin Xian whispered something, activated his own soul, and began to transform and sublimate according to the guidance of the perfect Western Emperor scripture.
The five great gods evolved, and I, who had passed away, was chanting scriptures at this moment.
Guided by the heart fire of the sun, the five elements rotate, tempering the me of this life. A kind of great Dao Qi flows, and a truly immortal breath is revealed.
However, the next moment something strange happened. An object roared and moved, communicating with Lin Xian. In the past, the power of time appeared, like a long river of time circling around him.
"Has something unusual happened?" The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi was the most perceptive and noticed the abnormality. She wanted to take action but was stopped by Ye Fan, who recognized the artifact.
The big black dog's fur stood up and he exclaimed, "Why is it that person's aura?"
"It's the white paper boat." Ye Fan took a deep breath and stared carefully. The object surrounding Lin Xian was exactly the black paper boat that suppressed the dragon-patterned black cauldron in Taixuan Gate that year.
The shape and aura were exactly the same, but for some reason, the black paper boat turned into a white paper boat. However, the demonic aura did not diminish, but became even stronger.
"I am the only one left..."
Rising with the sound of the wind in this world and passing by with the flow of time, it seems as if a female emperor in white is sighing, coming faintly from those chaotic years, with sadness and confusion.
Although the blood on the paper boat has not dried up, it is still bright red and translucent. No one knows when it was left here, whether it was in the ancient times, the chaotic times, or the time when the emperor fell.
"What is the cause and effect between that person and him!" the big black dog said uneasily. Throughout the ages, it firmly believed that Emperor Wu Shi was the most powerful person. But there are always exceptions to everything. God always arranges some extraordinary people to amaze the universe and sweep across the history.
He can be compared with ruthless people, rival the young man Wu Shi, and be comparable to the Green Emperor. This is the best evaluation of a genius.
Because these three Heavenly Emperors have created a miracle, breaking the barrier of the Holy Path, severing the path of the Three Immortals, and slaughtering the Saints against the will of Heaven. They are the most powerful group of people in history.
"There should be no malice." Ye Fan said softly. He looked at the white paper boat and said with emotion: "I seem to see a door open, with hope written on one side and return written on the other side."
"Door, what?" The others looked around in horror, but found nothing but a vast expanse of white nothingness.
"Nothing." Ye Fan was shocked. Could it be that only he or Lin Xian could see the stone door? !
He looked over again, and this time, all the doors disappeared, and Lin Xian also disappeared. Ye Fan saw a man, very young, but with endless vicissitudes in his eyes, as if he could see through the past, present and future.
He is very similar to Ye Fan, like Ye Fan in the future, another self.
"Is that my future self? Why am I so lonely?" Ye Fan yelled, trying to get an answer. However, when their eyes met, the long river of time seemed to explode.
"Ugh……"
Still, that soft, sad sigh was heard, and the small boat floated up slowly, suppressing the eternal waves. It went upstream, actually going against the current!
"It's leaving... No, that's not right." Ye Fan suddenly realized. He saw Lin Xian's figure on the paper boat, sitting on the paper boat chanting scriptures, and slowly going away.
It wants to take Lin Xian away! "Holy Lord." Ye Fan turned around anxiously and asked about Lin Xian's whereabouts.
Over the years, he and Lin Xian have quarreled constantly and harmed each other. They are a pair of bad friends, but they are also fellow Taoists who support each other on the road and have a sincere friendship.
“Lin Xian, Saint Lin, isn’t he here?” Everyone was confused, and pointed at Lin Xian who was in the deepest level of enlightenment and said, “He has never left.”
Ye Fan was stunned. He saw a person in front of him wearing Taoist robes and a holy crown on his head. He was free and easy. Five energies were flowing in his chest, three flowers were swaying on his head, and a cloud of celebration was floating.
Golden lotus flowers bloomed in the sky one after another, heavenly music echoed, his Taoism was increasing infinitely, and it didn't look like anything was wrong at all.
Instead, it feels like one has achieved something great and received a great blessing.
"when!"
A bell sounded from somewhere, echoing for eternity and cleansing people's souls. Lin Xian's brows relaxed, time passed by, and he looked like a kind-hearted Maitreya boy. The golden flowers on the road around him turned into fairy rain and fell, and he was about to ascend to heaven with the sound of the bell.
Finally, he slowly opened his eyes and in the mist, he saw a purple and golden light flying out from the deepest part of the fairy pond, interweaving like a pair of lovebirds, catching up with the white paper boat.
"The way of heaven has no beginning and no end." Lin Xian said thoughtfully.
"Holy Lord, are you okay?" Ye Fan asked solemnly, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"
"Woof woof woof, give me a bowl of blood and we'll know whether I'm healthy or not." The big black dog was extremely jealous. He looked at Lin Xian's body, which seemed like an immortal's body, extremely crystal clear and sparkling with brilliance. Such blood contained power.
Just now, some surprising and unknown changes must have occurred.
"abnormal."
Lin Xian shook her head, returned the Bodhi seed to Ye Fan, and fell into the deepest level of memory. She murmured, "I seem to hear someone reciting a great Dao Sutra for me in the dark."
"The past me recites the sutra for this life." As Yao Chi's most elite disciple, Yao Chi Saint Girl reacted instantly: "You have touched the deepest mystery of the Western Emperor Scripture."
"The past self, the true self or the original self, and the Tao self, these three rotate in a circle, just like there are three selves, one born in the past, one sitting in the present, and one standing in the future."
"The true self and the original self are easy to understand." Ye Fan frowned and asked, "What are the lost self and the Tao self? Is there really reincarnation?"
Reincarnation is too illusory, he doesn't believe it.
“The human body is like heaven and earth, corresponding to the great universe. The reason why the Dao Palace is called the Dao Palace is because it houses the “Dao I”, which belongs to the Dao nature and corresponds to the Dao of the great universe.”
As a disciple of the Taoist lineage of the Queen Mother of the West, the Saint of Yaochi gave the most professional answer: "The so-called Zen chanting and ancient sacrificial sounds coming from the palace are actually the Taoist side of me that is comprehending the great Dao, comprehending the truth of longevity, and nourishing the master of life."
“This is me.”
"I know, the rational me, the transcendent me, and the subconscious me." Lin Xian seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that he understood a lot.
"What is the lost self?" Ye Fan asked curiously, trying to give an example: "Could it be the me of the last moment?"
"This question cannot be answered." Yao Chi Saintess shook her head and said, "It's just that Queen Mother Xi once said that if someone could study me thoroughly, they could truly achieve immortality."
"The dead self was born in the past, so it can be considered truly immortal, because as long as the original self is alive, a thought will arise again, and there will be endless past changes, which can never be cut off or killed."
"Death is eternal." Lin Xian pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "The living are destined to wither. This is the natural cycle. The universe cannot escape this destiny."
"Only the dead are immortal. My true self is alive, but a thought will give birth to me and I will die again."
"Then from another perspective, if I die but I live forever, does that count as immortality?"
"If you keep thinking about it, there will be a response. This is a way to longevity and the path to becoming an immortal."
The inheritance of flesh and blood is the continuation of life, and the transmission of beliefs is the immortality of the spirit.
"Daoyou is very talented." Yaochi Saintess' eyes flickered with something strange: "Brother Lin, were you hiding your incompetence earlier?"
You know, Lin Xian had to hold the Bodhi seed to attain enlightenment. Now he has returned the Bodhi seed to Ye Fan, and the four elements are empty.
It's surprising that he can say such great things.
"it's not true."
Lin Xian shook his head and said in a deep voice: "My deceased self was reciting scriptures, which increased my wisdom. Occasionally, I would have flashes of inspiration and figure out certain problems."
Everyone fell silent. No one had ever encountered such a situation before and no one knew how to get out of it.
As for me who has passed away, this question has not been figured out by any supreme being from ancient times to the present.
Suddenly, System 10086 spoke, and He suddenly realized: "Host, I understand. You have achieved great success in gnawing on others, and you are no longer satisfied with gnawing on others. You even gnaw on yourself."
"It's really exploitative to chew on your past self and let him practice to increase your wisdom in this life!"
Lin Xian was speechless, he didn't know what was going on.
But for some reason, he had a definite thought in his mind.
Always remember, there will be reverberations.
If I could use the power of faith, thought, and will, I should be able to reconnect with my deceased self, open a brand new door, and witness a different world.
On this path, Amitabha Buddha is the best sage.
"The third division of Lin Xian." System 10086 was stunned. Was the joke he made back then really going to come true?
