Chapter 166 Congenital Treasure: Heavenly Essence

The wisdom of Vajra can break everything without being broken by anything. Manjushri Bodhisattva's wisdom sword ignited the flames of wisdom, which spewed out and mixed into the roaring incense and flesh. In an instant, golden light surrounded the area, and all kinds of Sanskrit sounds arose from the void. The realm of the Bitter Sea manifested on its own, transforming this sky area into a world of suffering.

Burning his remains, a roaring sacred fire.

If the former Fire Worship Cult cultivators were to witness this scene, they would immediately touch the ground with their heads, believing it to be the descent of a true god. This radiant holy form, entwined with flames, was exactly like the Fire God described in their classic doctrines.

However, unlike the golden light, the flames of wisdom gradually turned from red to blue. As the blue divine fire rose, the violent power woven from countless auras within Ji Xiang's body instantly calmed down. All the energies gathered together as if no collision had ever occurred.

The wisdom of the Buddha's fire could burn away all vexations and poisons. At this moment, the divine sword used itself as a guide, burning away all the "troublesome impurities" in Ji Xiang's aura. The excess impurities that had already fused with Ji Xiang himself were guided by the divine sword into the Bitter Sea's divine power.

These vexations and poisons were originally the unwilling desires left behind by the original owners when Ji Xiang devoured their blood, earth demon energy, and corpse disintegration energy. Their power was unwilling to be swallowed so easily, and that resentment transformed into invisible curses. However, because Ji Xiang himself had returned to being an ancient celestial demon, he was almost immune to most poisons below the level of the Celestial Heart. Therefore, these resentful desires, transformed into invisible curses, could only linger within Ji Xiang's powers, rotating with the flow of energy, unable to harm Ji Xiang himself. However, when different resentful thoughts gathered together, they would generate extreme conflict.

Not only could the various energies not fuse with each other, but these desires also repelled fusion.

But now, these remaining impurities had been completely burned away by the wisdom fire spewed out by Manjushri's divine sword.

Finally, the remaining power of that violent force was erased by another divine power within the divine sword.

"The Illusion-Like Samadhi; the practitioner should awaken to the fact that all phenomena in the world are like illusions and should stay away from this illusory realm."

"Using these resentful desires to catalyze the divine power of inverted illusion, making the 'conflict' itself a false illusion, thus calming the restless energies in my body..."

Manjushri's divine sword's autonomous action showed a sign of goodwill. The Buddha's sword had a spirit and was unwilling to be just another decoration along with the other divine swords. But this action seemed to provoke dissatisfaction from the other treasures.

The Heavenly Karma Cloud Sword and the Heavenly Feather Feather Cut, which had been forcibly stripped of their original owners' usage rights, had no reaction, like two soulless dead swords. But the Thunder Cutter and the Great Amount Sword had already begun to tremble, flying up from Ji Xiang's side, displaying their presence.

"The sword for killing enemies is naturally different from the sword for suppressing evil. There is no need to compete for merit."

Ji Xiang appeased the two divine swords, then grasped the Buddha's sword and injected his own magic power.

The Bitter Sea churned, but the various energies were accelerating their fusion. The violent power of the Seven Treasure Yellow Lotus was completely digested. The roaring flames on the incense body and flesh gradually disappeared, and finally did not rise again.

All power returned inward.

Boom!

Accompanied by the fierce light flashing in his seven orifices, the time for solar refinement was shortened by more than ten days in this instant!

And this, during the process of solar refinement, after taking the Seven Treasure Yellow Lotus and perfectly absorbing the power of the Buddha's treasure, Ji Xiang's mind seemed to have a feeling, so he held the Buddha's sword and slashed it in his hand.

The Buddha's sword could not kill humans, but it could kill demons and monsters. Although Ji Xiang was an ancient celestial demon, he was also one of the demon-like beings. When wounded by the Buddha's sword, no normal red blood flowed out. Instead, a drop of extremely viscous, crystal clear, colorless liquid fell out, containing intense yang energy.

This liquid was even emitting monstrous blood energy. The appearance of just one drop stirred up a huge air wave in this Bitter Sea, and even caused the Bitter Sea to be shaken out of a small hole by this drop of blood. As the hole appeared, Ji Xiang also lifted the Bitter Sea world. Then, this drop of blood could even attract the Grand Floating Li's primordial qi.

And Ji Xiang had seen something similar to this liquid before!

"My blood has transformed into something similar to celestial marrow?"

This should not be a transformation produced by becoming an immortal. Although immortal blood has already become immortal blood rather than mortal blood, it is still red. It is just that it will not be easily scattered, but combined with itself. The flesh has long been forged into a single piece like a furnace of divine iron. Even if an arm is cut off or the head is split open, immortal blood will not be easily sprayed out.

And when all the immortal blood is refined into azure energy, this is the peak of the immortal path, considered to have reached the end of the Celestial Immortal level, and can be called a Flying Immortal.

Taking it a step further is to comprehend Taiyi, sense Daluo, and choose between celestial secrets and karma. Success elevates one to Celestial Heart, and failure degrades one to a Loose Immortal.

But regardless of which path to immortality, according to the information Ji Xiang currently has, no immortal's blood has ever undergone a change like celestial marrow. The appearance of this kind of change is both a good thing and a troublesome thing for Ji Xiang.

Being like celestial marrow means that swallowing it might have the same effect as celestial marrow. Then he has become a mobile Tang Monk meat.

"But even if it really becomes celestial marrow, it won't reach the level of lunar or solar essence. At most, it would be slightly higher than the energy of the stars in the Zhou Tian, perhaps even slightly inferior. In that case, the strong won't look down on my blood, and I won't fear the weak."

Therefore, it is only a little troublesome.

It does not count as a bad omen.

Human medicine has existed since ancient times. Ji Xiang just never expected that one day he would become one of the human medicines.

However, Ji Xiang's idea was completely shattered when he squeezed out the second drop.

Illusions shattered, followed by a series of shocking descriptions. The Inner Vision Divine Tablet seemed eager to inform Ji Xiang of the origin of this power, and many words appeared in Ji Xiang's eyes.

[Heaven and Earth Born Essence: The prototype before the condensation of heaven and earth's essence! May the Mysterious Mother and I be born together between life and outstanding talent, exist together with me between the sun and the moon, be protected together with me in the nine heavens, and eat together with me in nature!]

[Multiple auras are mixed and fused, and incorporated into the body of the ancient celestial demon. A divine treasure is nurtured and appears by virtue of the congenital body, burning the primordial azure qi, and borrowing the opportunity of solar refinement!]

[The so-called Heavenly Born is the apex of the birth of all things, the source of life of all phenomena, and Taoism calls it "True One"]

[When the Heaven and Earth Born Essence exists in the body, it has the following effects:]

[Longevity and lasting vision: Your lifespan is more than ten times that of ordinary cultivators.]

[The Root of All Qi: Can absorb any aura to restore one's state.]

[After completely refining the Heaven and Earth Born Essence, it has the following effects:]

[Celestial Spirit Inhalation and Exhalation: A person with the Heaven and Earth Born Essence can transform all useless qi in the world into spiritual qi that can be cultivated after entering the Immortal level!]

[Qi Origin Impetus Beginning: Manipulates the qi of heaven and earth, dividing its form and substance, using the Heaven and Earth Born Essence as a guide, and using one qi to transform the phenomena of the Zhou Tian.]

[Essence Manifestation Profound Manifestation: Gathers the qi of heaven and earth, combines essence, and uses the Heaven and Earth Born Essence as a guide, and uses one qi to create the phenomena of the Zhou Tian.]

"This is?"

Ji Xiang was taken aback. At this time, the two drops of blood floated, and after leaving Ji Xiang's body for a short time, they drilled back into the wound on their own, and the wound disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Then, the words in the Inner Vision Divine Tablet did not stop because of this, and continued to float:

[Before the Primordial Void, what is there in the lonely silence? Supreme essence is inspired, and True One is born. True One operates the spirit, and the Primordial Spirit transforms on its own!]

[The ancient immortals believed that there is true essence in the vacuum and void. The true essence and true qi sensed each other and fused to create the true one's life. From this arises the changes of all phenomena, so all things are after the True One, which is the acquired beings, and before the birth of the True One, the qi was undivided. At this time, living beings are congenital things, and ancient celestial demons are one of them.]

[Man's birth enjoys the primordial qi of heaven and earth, which is the spirit and the form; receiving the primordial one qi, it is the fluid and the essence. When the heavenly qi is reduced, the spirit will dissipate, and when the earth qi is reduced, the form will become ill. When the primordial qi is reduced, life will be exhausted. When primordial qi is present, life is present, nature cannot be separated from primordial qi, and life transforms according to its kind. When primordial qi is exhausted, life will also die.]

[The Heaven and Earth Born Essence has existed since ancient times. Possessing this thing and refining it, one day, one can possess power as powerful as the creation of the world! And at ordinary times, the Heaven and Earth Born Essence will also give the owner supreme talent and aptitude!]

[Heaven, earth, and water, and even people, are all divided by one qi, and even the immortal realms in the heavens and earth are "formed by the condensation of qi!"]

[Since Qiankun has been opened and the clear and turbid have been divided, they are merged into rivers and formed into mountains and mountains, matching the celestial stars above and hiding the cave heavens below. All the great saints and supreme masters control their affairs, and there are spiritual palaces and imperial residences, jade houses and golden platforms, all formed by the condensation of qi!]

————

"The human body is like a world, containing wind and rain, and accumulating clouds and thunder, being the pivot of heaven and earth."

"Transforming the body into heaven and earth, the most ancient cave paradises in the mountains and rivers are born like this, and this 'Heaven and Earth Born Essence' must be used in this process."

In the southern sea, among the mountains, the Dharma teachings are prospering in the world. Lei Wang and his group meet with that Buddha ghost. The Dragon Lord, Kupamta King, knows everything about the Dharma teaching experts on the surface of the mountains and rivers, and shows goodwill to everyone. He has no arrogance of the monks in the inner mountains and rivers. The Dharma teaching masters are surprised and shocked when they hear him talk about the secrets of the inner mountains and rivers.

Immediately, desire ignited in their eyes!

"If what the master said is true, doesn't that mean that if you enter the inner mountains and rivers, as long as you have the Heaven and Earth Born Essence and refine it into your body, it will be like incorporating a heaven and earth into your body? In the future, the human body's palace should correspond to the blue sky, and you can create a world?"

The Dharma teaching masters were overjoyed.

This is different from intercepting a part from the Great World and then hiding it with illusion techniques to transform it into a "boundary". This is truly opening up a hidden place, and even being able to breathe out spiritual energy and create one's own world. This is no longer something at the level of magic, and even magical powers cannot be compared with it at all!

If you open up a hidden cave, then even if the immortals are in front of you, you and others will not be afraid of being besieged by the Celestial Masters, but you can truly compete with the Ming Dynasty court for territory!

"In the past, didn't the surface mountains and rivers often have this kind of story?"

The Buddha ghost smiled and said: "Once upon a time, someone washed cloth by the river and returned home at night. He walked along the river, but did not return to the village. Instead, he entered before a big city and was driven away by a cattle herder. And that night, what the world saw was that a guest star invaded the ox star."

"Also, during the Taiyuan period of the Jin Dynasty, a Wuling man made a living by fishing, walking along the stream, forgetting the distance. Suddenly, he encountered a peach blossom forest... This saying of Peach Blossom Paradise made the local prefect send people to follow him to search for his ambition, but he became lost and could not find the way again."

"There are also people from the Han Dynasty, Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao, who entered Tiantai Mountain to see immortals. After half a year, they returned to their hometown, but unexpectedly their descendants had gone through seven generations."

"Also, during the Jin Dynasty, Wang Zhi went to Shishi Mountain to chop firewood and met a boy and an old man playing chess by a large stone by the stream. He placed his axe on the ground and stood to watch. After a long time, the boy drove him home. Wang Zhi went to pick up the axe again, and the handle of the axe had rotted. When he returned to his hometown, no one recognized him, and some old men heard his name and said that he was a man from a hundred years ago."

"The passage of time in the inner mountains and rivers is different from that in the surface mountains and rivers. This is because what is opened up is a true heaven and earth, not a small trick like a boundary that takes the Great World for its own use."

Of course, as for the appearance of the inner mountains and rivers themselves, the Buddha ghost himself is not very clear. Where the earliest inner mountains and rivers were located, and which of the cave paradises were created, I am afraid that only those old ghosts from the Qin and Han dynasties are clear.

The Dharma teaching masters looked at each other. At this time, someone spoke, and the previous enthusiasm subsided slightly, and they calmed down a little, so they asked the Buddha ghost with some doubts they had thought of earlier:

"What the master said is very good, but if such a treasure is really easy to obtain, then the previous Prince Lu also rebelled, and even almost ascended to the immortal position, but he did not take out this kind of thing."

The Buddha ghost immediately laughed non-stop: "That's because the people behind Prince Lu are not orthodox things, but are actually Yuan Emperor's evil cultivators. This Heaven and Earth Born Essence is of course a treasure, and later cultivators like Yuan Emperor cannot possess it."

"Later cultivators? I heard that he was from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, right? Does this count as later?"

Lei Wang was very puzzled. If even the Wei and Jin Dynasties were considered later, then the origin of this Heaven and Earth Born Essence would be a bit strange.

"That's natural, but I cannot tell you the origin of this Heaven and Earth Born Essence."

"And even if you know it, what can you do? Let's skip this matter. Getting back to the main topic, now that the poor monk has come down to the world from the inner mountains and rivers at a great price, only the shell of the immortal Buddha is left, and I cannot bring my own cultivation, so I have lost all kinds of magical powers."

"And even so, I have to come here, which is to shine on the fundamental methods of heaven and earth with the masters of the Dharma teachings. Whether it is Buddha or Tao, the Dharma teachings come from Buddha and Tao, and naturally they can shine on each other with Buddha and Tao."

"Then, open up a new dynasty."

Beside the Buddha ghost, there was a young man who was only in his twenties, who did not speak, but his face was full of arrogance, and his eyes were full of ambition.

Many of the masters of the Dharma teachings were no strangers to this person.

Because the land of Huguang has a lot to do with him.

Zhu Hua Kui, the King of Chu Ding.

"Everyone, the opportunity for change is about to come. The immortals and Buddhas in the inner mountains and rivers are vying to establish connections with the human world. At this time, whoever can seize the opportunity will be the first to win. It is ridiculous that the Taoist sect is constantly fighting internally. The Shangqing lineage was repeatedly assassinated by the Hidden Immortal Sect not long ago, causing people to be panic-stricken and dare not go out. Now my Buddhist sect has even more powerful forces in the inner mountains and rivers. Although there are slight frictions internally, the overall situation still occupies half of the world."

"I will use a continent of the inner mountains and rivers as an exchange. You can use the Heaven and Earth Born Essence to transform the universe. In this way, the true fifth major force will appear in the inner mountains and rivers, which is you masters of the Dharma teachings!"

"As long as one of you can become an immortal, that's enough!"

As the words fell, countless eyes fell on Lei Wang in the very center.
