Reward Settlement
Meanwhile, Ao Tu returned to the Flower Realm with Hong'er and the Jade Rabbit, and Tang Sanzang and his disciples left the Capital Tianzhu Kingdom. The rewards for this ordeal were then settled.
[Rewards are being settled; a total of 1,131 days of interceptions have been completed.]
[Received reward: Golden Lotus Fruit (Taoist Technique)]
[Received reward: Buddhist Dharma - Prajna Seal.]
[After obtaining the reward Houtian Spiritual Treasure - Meditation Cushion.]
[Received reward: Demon God Essence Blood.]
[Received the reward Supernatural Ability: Jingshi Divine Mantra.]
[Reward: Essence of Zhen Wood]
[Received the reward: Heaven-Opening Dao Principles.]
[Received Primordial Chaos Qi a reward.]
[The extra Thirty-Six Heavens will automatically carry over to the next Side Quest; the next Side Quest is: Clearing the Wrongful Conviction at Tongtai Prefecture.]
After entering the Flower Realm, Ao Tu did not rush to check the rewards, but first settled Hong'er down.
As for the Jade Rabbit, it is a pet animal and there is no need to place it there.
After settling Hong'er in, Ao Tu took out the rewards and briefly examined them.
The previous rewards were of little use to Ao Tu now, so he gave the Golden Lotus Fruit to Jiangzhu to chop up and make Immortal Tea.
Ao Tu had abstained from tea for a year, and that time has now passed.
He was resolute and did not break his vow for a whole year.
It's time to enjoy some good tea.
Buddhist Dharma Prajna Seal, also known as the Wisdom Seal, is a Supernatural Ability of Manjushri Bodhisattva and was later passed down as a form of Buddhist Dharma.
Legend has it that striking this seal can Wisdom the ignorant and convert the wicked.
Of course, it could also kill someone, depending entirely on how it's used.
Ao Tu himself already possessed the cultivation of Buddha, but he did not have this Buddhist Dharma. This was because he had a similar Buddhist Dharma that suited his own the Path.
The Supernatural Ability rewarded later Jingshi Divine Mantra, is a corresponding Buddhist Dharma Supernatural Ability of Ao Tu himself. It is similar to the Prajna Seal in effect, but with greater power. Reciting it can save one from calamity or purify it.
This Supernatural Ability actually originated from the Guanyin Heart Mantra. It was developed by Ao Tu after Guanyin Bodhisattva transmitted the Dharma a long time ago, based on his own understanding of Buddhist Dharma. However, he never had the time to perfect it or integrate it with the Scripture.
Now this Supernatural Ability has been directly rewarded by the system. Judging from its content, it is more benevolent than purifying. It should be something that I will hand over to the Good Corpse to organize in the Future, hence the name Jingshi Divine Mantra. If I were to organize it myself, I originally intended to call it the Cihang Divine Mantra.
The Houtian Spiritual Treasure, the Ao Tu, was immediately recognized by Ao Tu as being woven from withered branches of the Meditation Cushion Bodhi Tree. It could enhance comprehension and aid in cultivation, so he gave it directly to Xiao Zhenying to sit on. The essence of the Demon God Essence Blood was intended to be used as a reward for his subordinates later. Since the Essence of Zhen Wood already had Zhu Li, it was not bestowed with any further Creation, but was kept as a tool for Artifact Refining.
I'll build a cabinet or something later to store things.
The final Heaven-Opening Dao Principles and the Primordial Chaos Qi are the most precious.
Previously, Ao Tu obtained the Primordial Heaven Five Great Primordials, went to the origin of the world, met six Sage, and gained enlightenment. A Chaos entity evolved within his body, and he wanted to emulate Taiqing, dissolve the name of Pangu, and create heaven and Heaven and Earth.
At that time, Ao Tu only possessed the Immortality Dao Fruit and the Golden Immortal cultivation. Although he had severed his two corpses, he was still weak and relied entirely on himself to support a part of the Chaos.
Even Guanyin Bodhisattva was deeply moved upon seeing it, and filled with reverence, observing and comprehending its meaning for a whole day.
Now, with Ao Tu's Attainment of the Dao and the attainment of the Great Luo Dao Fruit, the Chaos within his body is becoming increasingly perfect.
The Heaven-Opening Dao Principles took root in Ao Tu's Ao Tu, and his mind was subsequently immersed in Chaos, thus recreating the Creation of Heaven.
Ao Tu had long ago used the power of Pangu to go to the beginning of the Creation of Heaven and witnessed the great power of Pangu in Creation of Heaven.
He had used this power in several battles, but he only imitated its essence in fragments and incompletely, and could not fully unleash it.
Now, Ao Tu, in his Great Luo form, has once again witnessed the Heaven-Opening Dao Principles, and his insights far surpass those of the past.
Within the Flower Realm, Ao Tu sat cross-legged on a soft couch, his eyes closed, his palms outstretched, gently gliding through the air to trace out the Dao Principles nature.
Jiangzhu brought over the Immortal Tea, but Ao Tu was nowhere to be seen.
"Has our Benefactor descended to the Lower Realm again?"
Jiangzhu said softly, placed the Immortal Tea beside the couch, walked to the shelf next to her, took a book, returned and sat on the couch. When she saw something she liked, she slightly raised her two delicate feet and laughed many times like a young oriole. Then, feeling a little thirsty, she picked up the Immortal Tea and took a sip.
Jiangzhu was completely unaware that Ao Tu was right beside her, even though she was already sitting on Ao Tu.
This Heaven and Earth was created by Pangu. Ao Tu comprehended the Heaven-Opening Dao Principles, and the Three Thousand Great Daos of heaven and Heaven and Earth were outlined in his palm. Therefore, he merged with Heaven and Earth and earth. Jiangzhu was still in heaven and Heaven and Earth, so she naturally could not perceive it.
Not to mention Jiangzhu, even Guanyin Bodhisattva, or other great Supernatural Ability beings such as the Old Mother Lishan or the Fairy of Yunxiao, would not be able to detect it in the slightest.
Only when the Six Sages are present, or Jade Emperor or the Queen Mother are present, can they discern the truth.
Compared to this realm, the changes within Ao Tu's own Chaos are even greater in the Heaven-Opening Dao Principles.
The Heaven and Earth in this realm has already been created, so the Heaven-Opening Dao Principles are hidden among the Three Thousand Great Daos and are not revealed. In Ao Tu's own Chaos, the Heaven and Earth has not yet been created, and it is still a state of Chaos. The Three Thousand Great Daos are not revealed, Heaven-Opening Dao Principles are the only Dao Principles.
Ao Tu outlined the principles of Heaven-Opening Dao Principles, instantly stirring up the Chaos. One after another Laws of Creation of Heaven intertwined and manifested, with Ao Tu himself at the core, covering all directions, tightly connected and without any flaws.
Essentially, this is the Axe Light that Great God Pangu, cleaved Creation of Heaven. It covered the Heaven and Earth without any flaws. Now, Ao Tu has manifested it in the Chaos in the form of Laws. It has evolved and condensed, gradually turning into a substantial thin shell that envelops Ao Tu himself.
This thin shell was formed by the Laws of Creation of Heaven; it was extremely thin, yet remained undamaged within the Chaos.
Ao Tu resided within it, and although he could not see the outside world, he had a thorough understanding of the various energies within the Chaos.
From a certain perspective, this thin shell is the first substance born from the Chaos within Ao Tu's body. It was formed by Ao Tu comprehending the Heaven-Opening Dao Principles and manifesting Laws within his body.
As this thin shell was born, the Primordial Chaos Qi within the Chaos surged, giving rise to other substances.
However, this process is extremely slow.
Without interference, it's unknown how many years it would take for the second Laws to manifest.
However, in addition to the Heaven-Opening Dao Principles, Ao Tu also obtained the Primordial Chaos Qi.
A vast expanse of Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, boundless and endless, spread across the Chaos.
This accelerated what would otherwise be a slow process.
Various Laws are derived from it.
Ao Tu withdrew from the scene.
Jiangzhu exclaimed "Ah!" as the Immortal Tea spilled all over her.
"My Benefactor, you're back!"
Ao Tu laughed and said, "I didn't leave." He took a sip of tea, punishing Jiangzhu for stealing the Immortal Tea and overstepping her bounds.
Ao Tu was in a very good mood at this moment.
Within the Chaos within his body, an "eggshell" was already being conceived, and beside the "eggshell," various Laws began to emerge.
He is truly about to unify the name of Pangu and Heaven-Opening and Earth-Creating.
Once this Heaven and Earth was created, it naturally gave rise to countless eons, influencing Heavenly Realms of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and becoming the origin of Western Heaven mythology. How could it not be a Origin?
Becoming the seventh Sage is not difficult.
However, it will take a considerable amount of time for those Laws to truly take shape, and even if they do, the outcome is still uncertain.
Ao Tu decided to let a portion of the Laws develop freely, and to distribute the other Laws to some familiar people.
Figures like the Ancestral Dragon, the Ancestral Shaman, and the Demon Emperor were of great help to his Attainment of the Dao, and he naturally did not hesitate to offer them even a small token of his appreciation.
