Learning Sixteen-Foot Golden Body
The Sixteen-Foot Golden Body is one of the highest Buddhist Law Technique. After mastering it, one is protected by a golden body that can withstand attacks. At the same time, the golden body can also attack, making it both offensive and defensive, and without any weaknesses.
Those who achieve the highest level of enlightenment can undergo a complete transformation and attain Buddhahood instantly.
Legend has it that in the Buddhist kingdom, there was a highly accomplished monk who attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, achieving a golden body sixteen feet tall. No attack could break his golden body, making him virtually invincible.
While mastering supreme Law Technique is difficult, it's not as challenging as mastering the universe, so the senior sister thinks Lu Yang can learn it.
Lu Yang has a senior brother who is at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and he has also mastered the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body.
"Who says the sixteen-foot golden body is a Buddhist Law Technique? This Law Technique existed in High Antiquity times!" the Immortal Fairy shouted, as she was the most qualified to speak on this matter.
"It existed in High Antiquity?" Neither Lu Yang nor his senior sister knew about this.
The Immortal Fairy hummed twice. "Of course, but although the golden bodies everyone used in High Antiquity times were all called the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, their sizes varied greatly. It was only after the five of us became immortals that the size of the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body became fixed."
Lu Yang asked, puzzled, "What does your becoming an immortal have to do with the sixteen-foot golden body?"
"Of course it's because we standardized weights and measures. In the past, different tribes had different standards of measurement. After the five of us became immortals, we set a standard for how much a zhang (丈) is."
Lu Yang was quite shocked. The other four immortals were one thing, but could a fairy even standardize weights and measures?
"It was Ying Tianxian who suggested it. One day, he told us seriously that some people outside said he was eight zhang tall, while others said he was only one chi tall. He suspected that the different standards of measurement among various tribes caused the rumors to vary. Later, when the system of weights and measures was standardized, the problem was indeed solved."
"Is a standardized system of weights and measures really that effective?"
"Yes, at the time I was busy standardizing weights and measures among the various tribes, and I didn't have time to tell the outside world how tall Ying Tianxian was."
"So it was you who spread the rumors!"
"It can't be called spreading rumors. It's just that at first, a believer asked me how tall Ying Tianxian was. I wasn't fully awake at the time, so I said eight zhang (approximately 33 meters), and then it spread like wildfire. I couldn't stop it. I realized this wouldn't do, so I quickly told the believer that Ying Tianxian was only one chi (approximately 1.5 meters) tall."
"Think about it, there are rumors that one Heavenly Immortal is eight zhang tall and another is one chi tall. If you average the two, wouldn't that be the normal height of the Heavenly Immortal?"
The Immortal Fairy's words made a lot of sense, Lu Yang couldn't find any fault with them for the time being.
She continued, "Moreover, I can also use the Golden Body technique, but I know too many things, so there's no need for me to use the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body."
"Things like the Heaven and Earth Manifestation Technique and the Size-at-Wish Technique are similar in function to the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body Technique; they all involve using a large weapon in combat."
The eldest sister nodded, agreeing with the Immortal Fairy's point of view. As the saying goes, the greatest truths are the simplest, and all paths lead to the same goal. Many Law Technique have similarities, and it is enough to know one. There is no need to be as proficient in everything as she is.
"Come out with me."
The senior sister led Lu Yang to an open area on the back mountain, where she had taught him the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique last time.
The Immortal Fairy emerged from Lu Yang's body, also intending to teach Lu Yang.
Lu Yang's confidence soared, and his fighting spirit was high. With his senior sister, a powerful figure of this era, and the immortal fairy, a High Antiquity powerhouse, teaching him together, there would definitely be no problem!
"To cultivate the sixteen-foot golden body, one must first maintain a peaceful State of Mind."
"To cultivate the sixteen-foot golden body, one must first mobilize one's own Qi and Blood."
The senior sister and the immortal fairy spoke at the same time, which startled Lu Yang.
Whom should he listen to?
The eldest sister looked calmly at the Immortal Fairy: "Only with a peaceful State of Mind can one unleash their original or even extraordinary abilities. Why does the Fairy need to mobilize her Qi and Blood?"
The Immortal Fairy wasn't afraid of her senior sister either. She stared at Lu Yang, her aura not at all inferior. "Qi and Blood connect to the meridians, and the meridians carry spiritual power. The sixteen-foot golden body is a product of the mixture of Qi and Blood and spiritual power, so naturally, Qi and Blood must be mobilized first."
Lu Yang: "..."
Fairy, shouldn't you be looking at your senior sister? Why are you staring at me?
And in this situation, should I say something to state my position?
Unfortunately, he dared not offend either of them.
Faced with the clash between two powerful figures from ancient and modern times, Lu Yang had no choice but to keep a low profile.
"I am the acting Sect Master, listen to me!" The Immortal Fairy used her trump card to force the senior sister to retreat.
"... OK."
The battle between the two strongest beings of ancient and modern times came to an end. The duel took place silently, without the world noticing.
"I'll teach you. Close your eyes, feel the Qi and Blood in your body, and try to mobilize them."
Lu Yang closed his eyes and looked inward. He seemed to hear the sound of great rivers flowing endlessly in his ears. This was his Qi and Blood.
His Qi and Blood far surpasses that of Golden Core cultivator, and even Nascent Soul Realm might not be able to match him.
"Mobilize the power of Qi and Blood, so that the fluctuations of Qi and Qi and Blood match the fluctuations of the meridians, creating resonance. The stronger the resonance, the stronger the power of Qi and Blood spiritual energy!"
Thump--Thump--Thump--
The surroundings were completely silent, except for the sound of Lu Yang's heart beating, unusually strong.
"Expand your Qi and Blood, and spiritual energy outwards, imagine they are physical entities, and with a bang, they spread outwards from within your body, forming a human shape, preferably your own!"
The senior sister beside her nodded slightly. The fairy's teaching method was similar to hers. Whether it was calming the State of Mind or improving Qi and Blood, everyone could eventually cultivate a sixteen-foot golden body.
Now it's up to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang was unaware of his senior sister's expectations of him. He kept his eyes closed the entire time, his Qi and Blood surging, but his State of Mind remained calm.
He vaguely grasped a feeling, a feeling that was ethereal yet tangible, incredibly real.
Lu Yang seized this opportunity and pulled hard!
Qi and Blood and qi surged, spiritual energy erupted, Qi and Blood and qi intertwined, circulating rapidly within the body before rushing outwards!
The moment the two forces appeared outside the body, they transformed into a golden, shimmering brilliance, like a golden slab!
Boom--
A golden body, six feet tall, appeared out of nowhere, ten meters away from Lu Yang!
Lu Yang: "?"
Shouldn't I be protected by an invincible shield? Why did you run so far?
"Fine, it's a bit far, and while it lacks defensive capabilities, it can still be attacked."
Its sixteen-foot-tall golden body is exceptionally sturdy; even a casual, sweeping strike from its arm is something no Golden Core cultivator could withstand.
Lu Yang tried to control the golden body, but found it unresponsive, like a statue.
"..."
Why is it that other people's Golden Body is good for both offense and defense, while mine is neither?
"Why don't you go inside the golden statue and take a look?" the Immortal Fairy suggested, as this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
When others unleash their sixteen-foot golden body, they are inside the golden body; perhaps Lu Yang is the same.
The eldest disciple, standing not far away, also had a strange expression. The method taught by the Immortal Fairy was flawless; how could she have achieved such results?
Left with no other choice, Lu Yang could only try the method suggested by the Immortal Fairy.
He jogged to the foot of the golden statue and found that, as expected of the golden statue he had created, its exterior was exceptionally sturdy, and he couldn't even find a way to enter it.
"Try it from the ground up?" the Immortal Fairy suggested again.
Lu Yang had no choice but to squat down, lift the golden body's feet, and enter the golden body from under its feet.
Entering the golden body, Lu Yang was somewhat excited; this was the golden body he had cast.
Let the world witness the power of the golden statue!
With a thought, his golden body remained motionless!
With another thought, the golden body remained motionless!
As solid as a mountain of gold!
"... Did I develop an invincible body or a tortoise shell?!"
