Upon hearing the sound, Bodhi Wisdom was taken aback.

The cultivators couldn't help but erupt in an uproar.

They didn't know what Lu Changsheng was trying to do. He was asking others if they wanted Three Thousand Dao Laws.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's voice, Bodhi Wisdom was taken aback for a moment, and then anger couldn't help but show in his eyes.

What does this mean?

Having obtained the supreme Daoist teachings, do you still want to humiliate yourself?

Are you really treating Three Thousand Dao Laws as some kind of treasure?

Lu Changsheng, do you think I lack Bodhi Wisdom?

What may be a supreme treasure in your eyes is not necessarily a supreme treasure in my eyes.

Thinking of this, Bodhi Wisdom was filled with rage. He increasingly believed that Lu Changsheng was humiliating him in front of countless cultivators.

Therefore, Bodhi Wisdom took a deep breath and said.

"The Three Thousand Dao Laws are naturally extraordinary and unparalleled, and I naturally desire them."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke slowly, his heart filled with anger, yet his eyes remained crystal clear.

Yes, he wants this.

Three Thousand Dao Laws —these are truly supreme Dao techniques, unlike any other; it would be no exaggeration to say they are unparalleled.

He wanted it more than anyone else because this method was of great help to him.

Bodhi Wisdom's answer left many divine cultivators with an indescribable feeling, but they dared not speak out. After all, this was the Three Thousand Dao Laws, something even Immortal Emperors would covet. Bodhi Wisdom's statement that he wanted it was the truth. If they asked themselves, who would dare say they didn't want it?

"How about we make a deal?"

Lu Changsheng spoke up, saying that although this Daoist technique was extraordinary, it was not very meaningful to him, far less important than the Buddha Scripture. However, Lu Changsheng could see that Bodhi Wisdom cared a lot about this Daoist technique, otherwise he would not have directly tried to snatch it.

In that case, he could make a deal with Bodhi Wisdom, exchanging goods for goods.

"Oh? What kind of deal? I'd like to hear the details."

Bodhi Wisdom was a little curious, wondering what kind of deal Lu Changsheng wanted to make with him.

"I am quite interested in Buddhism, but the Buddhist scriptures I have obtained have not brought me any enlightenment. I have heard that the Bodhi Clan possesses supreme Buddhist teachings, so if Fellow Bodhi is willing, I will give this method to you, and in return, you will give me your mental cultivation method. What do you say?"

Lu Changsheng spoke directly and without beating around the bush.

Upon hearing this, Bodhi Wisdom, the Guiding Bitter Sea, and other cultivators all changed color.

Although Lu Changsheng spoke casually, his meaning was that he wanted the Bodhi Wisdom Mind Method, which was simply impossible.

For any cultivator, the mental cultivation method is the most important thing. If Divine Ability and techniques can be exchanged, that's fine, but the mental cultivation method is something that can never be exchanged casually. It is the foundation of one's existence.

"Bodhi, you absolutely cannot agree to this. Your cultivation method is the foremost cultivation method in Buddhism, and it concerns matters concerning the Lord of the Buddhist Realm. Do not lose sight of the greater good for the sake of a single scroll of the Three Thousand Dao Laws."

The Guiding Bitter Sea immediately sent a message to Bodhi Wisdom Divine Sense, telling him not to agree to Lu Changsheng's request, otherwise it would be a case of losing more than he gained.

"I see."

Bodhi Wisdom nodded, though in truth he had already refused when Lu Changsheng made the request.

While the Three Thousand Dao Laws are certainly good, the Buddha Scripture far more important to him; there is absolutely no comparison between the two.

Just then, Lu Changsheng's voice rang out again.

"Of course, fellow Daoist, please don't worry. I don't want the complete mental cultivation method. I only need the first chapter. As I said, I like to study Buddhism, and I have no other intentions. That's all."

Lu Changsheng spoke, clearly stating his purpose: he didn't need the complete cultivation method, just one section would suffice. After all, he possessed the Heavenly Emperor Law, and with just one section, he could deduce the subsequent cultivation methods.

If it were the complete Dharma teachings, Bodhi Wisdom would never hand them over to me unless I changed my name to Bodhi Wisdom Obstruction. But if it were just one chapter, Bodhi Wisdom would naturally have to consider it carefully.

Sure enough, these words silenced Bodhi Wisdom. Not only was Bodhi Wisdom silent, but even Guiding Bitter Sea couldn't help but begin to ponder.

The Bodhi Wisdom Mind Method is the foremost mind method in Buddhism, the Future Buddha Scripture. This mind method is unparalleled and of immense significance.

For Bodhi Wisdom, mastering this mental method allows one to obtain the Heavenly Dao Mark of the Buddha Realm and become the Lord of the Buddha Realm. If given to others, it is not certain that the other party will be able to learn it, but even if the other party does learn it, he will have no fear.

However, just in case, there's always a possibility of something going wrong. Therefore, Bodhi Wisdom would never give away the complete mental cultivation method. But if it were to give away just one chapter, Bodhi Wisdom would seriously hesitate.

The Three Thousand Dao Laws represent one of the Three Thousand Principle. Only after obtaining one of them and becoming an Immortal Emperor will the true importance of this Dao Method be revealed.

Others may not know, which is their own foolishness, but he clearly understands what the Three Thousand Dao Laws mean. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to the Guiding Bitter Sea Bodhi Wisdom to contemplate them together.

Because after becoming an Immortal Emperor, becoming stronger no longer relies on the so-called Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Upon reaching the Immortal Emperor level, one relies not on the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but on the Principle of heaven and earth. Ordinary people believe that the Three Thousand Dao Laws are merely extremely powerful, but the geniuses of the God King Clan know that the Three Thousand Dao Laws represent three thousand Principle, which can perfect one's own Principle.

If someone could master all Three Thousand Dao Laws, their strength would reach an unparalleled level; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they could create the world.

His divine race also possessed several Three Thousand Dao Laws, but they were not mastered by the Bodhi Clan. Therefore, when faced with a Three Thousand Dao Laws, Bodhi Wisdom was genuinely moved. This was a true and not feigned emotion.

"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, what do you think?"

Bodhi Wisdom was still hesitating, but subconsciously he couldn't help but ask the Guiding Bitter Sea, wanting to know what he meant.

"The Three Thousand Dao Laws are indeed extraordinary and of great importance to us. We are already at the Immortal King Realm. The only thing we lack to reach the Immortal Emperor Realm is a fortuitous opportunity. If we become emperors, we will master more Principle, and our strength will be even greater. We will also have a greater chance of crossing the God Sea in the future."

"Besides, didn't we come to the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains for the Three Thousand Dao Laws? Or perhaps spiritual treasures?"

Guiding Bitter Sea paused for a moment before continuing, "Bodhi, I think this deal isn't impossible. It's just one chapter. Could this Lu Changsheng possibly comprehend the complete cultivation method from just one chapter? That's about as difficult as creating your own cultivation method."

"So a trade is possible!"

The Guiding Bitter Sea gave his final answer.

If you only want one copy, then it is indeed possible to trade. But if you want the complete manual, then there's no point in discussing it; it's simply impossible.

Upon hearing this, Bodhi Wisdom became even more moved.

Yes, it's just one of the chapters. Could it be that Lu Changsheng could comprehend the entire cultivation method with just one chapter?

Thinking about this, Bodhi Wisdom felt more and more that he was right.

Bodhi Wisdom took a deep breath and looked at Lu Changsheng.

"If it's just one article, we can discuss it."

He spoke up without giving a direct answer, but his meaning was clear: there was no mole, and a deal was possible.

Just then, the voice of the Immortal King rang out.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, please don't agree!"

This was a human Immortal King, an old man surrounded by the Five Elements Qi. He spoke to remind Lu Changsheng.

For a moment, many people were curious: Three Thousand Dao Laws in exchange for the supreme Buddhist Dharma, even if it's just one chapter, it wouldn't be a big loss. Whether they agreed or not didn't matter, right?

Soon the Immortal King spoke, explaining the reason.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, you may not know that the Three Thousand Dao Laws represent the ultimate of the Three Thousand Principle. Many of them have long been lost, not because of a break in the lineage of Dao Techniques, but because in an era, only one or two people are allowed to learn such Dao Techniques."

"The more powerful the Dao, the more restrictions it has. For example, the Law of Power. Even if you obtain the relevant scriptures, you will find it difficult to master. If someone else has mastered it, then even if the ancient scriptures are made public for everyone to learn, no one will be able to master it."

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, if you give this Dao technique to these two, once they learn and master it, as long as they live, you will almost certainly never be able to master it."

"Most importantly, this item is a gift from Heavenly Dao. In other words, whoever opens this scroll can immediately master this Dao technique because it contains the imprint of Principle, saving millions of years of arduous cultivation. This is not just a simple Dao technique, but an ancient scripture with the imprint of a Principle. Do not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small thing."

This Immortal King spoke up because he knew a great deal about the Three Thousand Dao Laws, so he took the initiative to remind Lu Changsheng to avoid losing more than he gained.

Upon hearing this, countless cultivators' expressions changed.

Bodhi Wisdom and the Guiding Bitter Sea also changed their expressions.

Because what the other party said was absolutely right. The Three Thousand Dao Laws represent three thousand Principle. It is impossible for someone to learn them just by reading a single scripture. It involves Principle, which are extremely profound and mysterious. Even the most outstanding geniuses would find it difficult to comprehend them.

Even becoming a Celestial Emperor requires painstaking research, and if other cultivators have mastered this Dao technique, you could never research it even if you studied it your whole life, since this Dao technique is not an ordinary one.

It is the Principle of Heavenly Dao.

Lu Changsheng was taken aback.

He truly had no idea that this kind of Daoist practice had such an origin.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but look at Bodhi Wisdom. To be honest, if that was the case, then exchanging the scripture would indeed be a loss.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, how about we bring out two more Immortal King Artifact to make up the price difference?"

Guiding Bitter Sea spoke, even the divine cultivators felt inexplicably ashamed upon hearing his words.

There are already three thousand Heavenly Dao Principle.

You bring out two Immortal King Artifacts to make up the price difference?

Stingy as you may be, you don't have to be this stingy. At least give me a couple of imperial artifacts, right?

"Two articles! If Fellow Bodhi is willing to give me two articles, I can continue the transaction."

Lu Changsheng spoke, ignoring the Guiding Bitter Sea.

He wants two articles.

After all, it would take some time for the Heavenly Emperor Law to deduce the complete Buddha Scripture. If he could obtain two of them, it would speed things up considerably.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, you've still lost out."

The Immortal King still spoke up, believing that Lu Changsheng had still suffered a loss.

But at that moment, Bodhi Wisdom stopped talking nonsense.

"Good!"

After he finished speaking, he was surrounded by Buddhist light, and various ancient Buddhist characters appeared, eventually coalescing into an ancient scripture.

"These are the first two chapters of the Future Buddha Scripture. Fellow Daoist of Longevity, they are ready for trade."

Bodhi Wisdom said with utmost seriousness.

He didn't want to waste time, lest something else go wrong.

The Future Buddha Scripture consists of four parts, which is equivalent to half of the sutra. Of course, he also played a trick, because the most important part of this sutra is the second half, and giving the first half to him is not a big problem.

If Lu Changsheng could understand this, he would immediately renounce his vows and become a monk.

"Good."

Without wasting any words, Lu Changsheng directly tossed the ancient scripture in his hand to Bodhi Wisdom.

Bodhi Wisdom also gave the Buddha Scripture to Lu Changsheng.

In an instant, the two obtained the scriptures they wanted.

However, the human Immortal King expressed his regret repeatedly.

"We've lost money! We've lost money! We've lost a fortune!"

He believed that Lu Changsheng had really lost out. Although the Future Buddha Scripture of great importance, the problem was that Lu Changsheng was a Daoist cultivator who wanted to study Buddhist mental techniques just because of a momentary interest. He was indeed somewhat impulsive.

After Bodhi Wisdom obtained the ancient scriptures, he did not waste any words. The Buddhist Pure Land Phenomenon appeared, covering everything to prevent others from prying into it, and he studied them together with the Guiding Bitter Sea.

"An ancient scripture containing the Principle of the Heavenly Dao—this Lu Changsheng was far too impulsive. Such a thing is indeed rare and hard to come by. If it didn't contain the laws of the Heavenly Dao Principle, it would take us at least a hundred thousand years to master and learn it, let alone a million. But now, he can comprehend it in just a moment."

He was extremely excited Guiding Bitter Sea spoke.

He knew very well what the concept of the inherent Principle of Heavenly Dao meant.

Bodhi Wisdom was also extremely excited. He was thrilled that he had obtained such a treasure by using only the first half of the mental cultivation method. How could this not be exhilarating?

"Fellow Daoist, do not hesitate any longer, open it directly."

He was extremely excited to the Guiding Bitter Sea.

Bodhi Wisdom paused for a moment, then looked at the Guiding Bitter Sea and said, "Fellow Daoist Jieyin, this ancient scripture may only be mastered by one person, so please excuse me. Of course, once I master it, I will definitely pass it on to you."

Bodhi Wisdom said seriously that he was not guarding against the Guiding Bitter Sea. After all, this was something he had traded for with his own mental techniques. If he only allowed one person to learn it, Guiding Bitter Sea learned it, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?

The latter was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he realized that what Bodhi Wisdom said was not wrong. After all, the other party had exchanged the first half of the mental cultivation method for it. Although he was itching to get it, there was nothing to say.

"In that case, fellow Daoist, please take a look first. But you must teach me!"

Guiding Bitter Sea said this with certainty. Although he could not be the first to master the Dao, he could be the second. In any case, he would not lose out.

"Good!"

Bodhi Wisdom nodded, and then the Pure Land surrounded him, isolating Guiding Bitter Sea.

After the Guiding Bitter Sea, Bodhi Wisdom opened the ancient scripture without any hesitation.

The ancient scriptures are imbued with the aura of the Heavenly Dao, containing endless mysteries; just a glance is enough to awaken wisdom within one.

Bodhi Wisdom was so excited that his body was trembling.

But only after the ancient scriptures were opened.

Two lines of text suddenly appeared, leaving Bodhi Wisdom stunned.

Everything is destined.

Don't force what isn't meant to be.

Two updates, that's all!
