With the experience of crossing the boundary wall before, Li Xiuchang was much more calm this time. He reached the bottom of the vortex without any disturbance in his heart, passed through the boundary wall and arrived at the Zen Heart Realm.
Just now on the road, Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi briefly introduced Zen Heart Realm to him.
This is a world dominated by Buddhist Cultivator. Because the Buddhist family is the dominant one, almost everyone among the people believes in Buddhism, suppressing the devil to the point where there is no room for survival.
Zen Heart Realm and Sea Boat Realm are opposite, there is only land and no ocean.
Therefore, the land area is vast and the population is large.
Also because there are many people and a large territory, and Zen Heart Realm's spiritual energy concentration is not low, Zen Heart Realm's overall strength is not weak.
As a second-level world, Zen Heart Realm can compete with some third-level worlds.
It's just that Zen Heart Realm's Buddhist forces are not monolithic. Coupled with the large number of strong men in the lower realm of the third layer of the world, Zen Heart Realm's local forces had to make some concessions and give up some of the positions next to Reclining Buddha Stone Statue to the Upper Realm monks.
But now, with the arrival of the powerful Immortal Shade Realm from the fourth level world, the situation of the Zen Heart Realm is undergoing huge changes.
After Li Xiuchang came to the Zen Heart Realm, he immediately felt the difference. There seemed to be something hanging above his head in the Unseen.
This was a feeling he had never experienced in the Immortal Shade Realm or Sea Boat Realm.
It was as if he could reach the invisible thing above his head by stretching out his hand and exerting force.
He raised his head in confusion, but of course there was nothing above his head.
"Do you feel it?" Zhang Wanzhi asked with a smile.
"Senior brother, what is this?" Li Xiuchang asked in confusion.
"The rules can also be said to be Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. You are enveloped by Ascension Rule. Once you show strength that exceeds the upper limit of this world, you will be pulled by Ascension Rule and forcibly ascend to the Upper Realm!"
"Ascension?!"
Li Xiuchang was shocked. He originally felt that this word was extremely far away from him, but he didn't expect that he has now become a quasi-ascendent. As long as he wants, he can ascend at any time.
Zhang Wanzhi explained, "The requirement for ascension in this level of the world is the peak of the Golden Core. If you are just Cultivation Level, the peak of the Golden Core, as long as you don't break through to Nascent Soul and don't actively trigger the catastrophe, then you will be fine and Ascension Rule will never be triggered.
"But you are also at the fourth level of body training, which is equivalent to Nascent Soul Cultivator. In fact, you have exceeded the upper limit of strength in this world. After all, Body Cultivator can also ascend with the physical body Cultivation Level.
"Therefore, Zen Heart Realm, you must be careful to keep Cultivation Level within the Golden Core Stage category when fighting with others, and do not show Nascent Soul Cultivation Level or fourth-level physical training strength, otherwise Ascension Rule will send you to the Upper Realm."
Li Xiuchang blinked. "Can it still be like this?"
"Doesn't this mean that the strong Upper Realm has to take the initiative to suppress Cultivation Level when he gets here, so what advantage does he have? Anyway, no matter how powerful he is here, he can only show the strength of Golden Core Stage."
Zhang Wanzhi smiled and shook his head, "Although Upper Realm strong people have to suppress their strength here, the deterrence still exists. Upper Realm's Mahayana Stage bursts with strength and can kill a large number of local golden elixirs and Nascent Soul with one slap. The price paid is just to fly back to the Upper Realm, and he can come down again.
"And those who were attacked by him are really dead when they die, and there is no chance of coming back.
"Therefore the strong are the strong wherever they are!"
Even though he said this, Li Xiuchang was still not used to this kind of restrained feeling.
Moreover, where they are going, that is, the area near Reclining Buddha Stone Statue, the corresponding Upper Realm may not be the Sea Boat Realm when they came.
If Li Xiuchang ascends accidentally, he doesn't know which world he will ascend to. If he gets separated from his two senior brothers, he won't be able to return to the Immortal Shade Realm.
At that time, he can only wait for his senior brothers to come to him, or silently cultivate to the peak of Void Refinement Stage and ascend back to the Immortal Shade Realm on his own.
In order to prevent himself from accidentally ascending to the Upper Realm, Li Xiuchang decided not to use his strength in body training in the Zen Heart Realm.
Even if he fights with others, he only uses Qi refining methods.
Anyway, he doesn't have Forming Nascent Soul. As long as he doesn't use his body-refining strength, he won't trigger Ascension Rule no matter what he does.
Li Xiuchang The three stopped an old man passing by and asked the direction of Reclining Buddha Stone Statue.
"You also went to Sleeping Buddha Temple to worship Buddha?" The old man looked at the three of Li Xiuchang with some restraint.
Li Xiuchang and Zhang Wanzhi were fine, but Mo Tu didn't look like a good person at first glance, which made the old man a little scared.
"Sleeping Buddha Temple? Is there Reclining Buddha Stone Statue?" Zhang Wanzhi asked.
The news they received said that Reclining Buddha Stone Statue was left naked in the forest, but they had not heard of any Sleeping Buddha Temple.
Therefore, it is not certain whether the Sleeping Buddha Temple mentioned by the old people is the place they are going to.
The old man nodded and said, "Yes. Originally there was only the reclining Buddha but no temple. Later, a wall was built and it became Sleeping Buddha Temple."
"That should be correct. Please give me some directions." Li Xiuchang said politely.
Seeing that Li Xiuchang and Zhang Wanzhi both had gentle smiles on their faces, the old man felt much relieved and said, "Many foreigners have come here recently, and they all say they want to go to Sleeping Buddha Temple, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed."
"Why do you say that?"
"I heard people say that those outsiders who went to Sleeping Buddha Temple all came back disappointed because the Buddha has woken up. If you want the Reclining Buddha to appear, you have to wait until the Buddha falls asleep to come back." The old man said mysteriously.
Li Xiuchang The three of them looked at each other and roughly guessed what the situation was.
People from the Upper Realm came to the Zen Heart Realm just to occupy a place next to the reclining Buddha to practice so as to break through the bottleneck.
But practicing beside Reclining Buddha Stone Statue requires "sleeping with the Buddha and waking up with the Buddha."
The previous group of ascendants ascended collectively, which happened not long ago. "Buddha" is equivalent to just waking up from sleep, not yet sleepy, and not falling asleep again.
Now that a new batch of people have arrived near the reclining Buddha, they naturally cannot sleep and practice.
It may take some time before the Reclining Buddha "falls asleep" again.
Li Xiuchang is not disappointed with this, but feels that it is a rare and good opportunity.
If he got close to Reclining Buddha Stone Statue, he would have to sleep and practice for three to five years, but he didn't dare to get close.
He didn't want to be forced to "sleep" by the Reclining Buddha.
But now that I no longer have this worry, I can safely pick Spirit Plant around the reclining Buddha without worrying about being affected.
Seeing that Li Xiuchang and the three of them still insisted on going to Sleeping Buddha Temple, the old man pointed out the direction for them.
After the Li Xiuchang three thanked them, they immediately flew towards Sleeping Buddha Temple.
A thick high wall surrounded Reclining Buddha Stone Statue and the surrounding area for dozens of miles, and was equipped with formation protection.
The only entrance and exit is guarded by more than a dozen young monks.
Zhang Wanzhi used Divine Sense to explore Sleeping Buddha Temple inside and out from a long distance, and said, "Most of them are local Buddhist Cultivator. There are not many Immortal Shade Realm Four Great Immortal Sects strong people. Many have come and gone."
Obviously, Four Great Immortal Sects many powerful people came to sleep with the reclining Buddha. As a result, the reclining Buddha was not sleepy now, so they had no choice but to go back first.
"Let's go and have a look." Mo Tu took the lead and walked towards Sleeping Buddha Temple.
They did not choose to sneak in secretly, but walked in through the front door openly.
Li Xiuchang put away the smile on his face, kept a straight face, and acted like Straightforward Sword Cultivator.
A group of young monks saw a trio of one old and two young approaching, and shouted, "Stop! No unauthorized entry is allowed in this important place of Buddhism!"
Li Xiuchang took a step forward and said in a firm tone, "I want to go in."
The monks saw Li Xiuchang's attire, his expression and the sword on his back, and recognized his identity as Straightforward Sword Cultivator.
There are also sword cultivators in the Zen Heart Realm, but there are relatively few.
The monks immediately forgave Li Xiuchang's harsh tone. What's the point of fighting with these idiots?
Their words were a little softer. "This sword cultivator, Non-Self Buddhists are not allowed to enter Sleeping Buddha Temple, please forgive me."
Li Xiuchang pointed it out directly. "You guys lied. I saw several Daoist priests being welcomed in by you."
The monks blushed and argued, "Those are the people who are destined to be my Buddha."
"Am I destined to be a Buddha?" Li Xiuchang asked directly.
"No chance." The monks shook their heads.
"What now?" The gloomy old man played by Senior Brother Mo stepped forward at the right time and made a move that suited his image. The powerful soul power exploded, and a fierce aura filled the top of his head, making the monks tremble and their bald heads were covered with sweat.
"Jiejie, are we destined to be the Buddha?" Mo Tu asked sadly.
"It's fate. The three donors are all people with deep ties to Buddhism. Please come in quickly!"
An old monk who looked like an abbot appeared out of nowhere and quickly called Li Xiuchang and the three of them in.
The old monk took a look at the fierce aura above Mo Tu's head, and said without blushing, "The donor's Buddha's light is covering the top of his head. At first glance, he is a benevolent person with great merits!"
Mo Tu said in surprise, "As expected of the abbot, he is a good judge of people!"
