The Abandoned Mountain Village Map Fully Unlocked, Forty-Eight Words of Dao Laws for Protection!
{ Heavenly Court Chat Group }
Jade Emperor: Spirit Condensation in the court, and from there be a universe. Within the universe, thoughts arise, and the primordial chaos is hidden. Refine it through nine layers, and it transforms into nothingness. From Void, spirit is formed, and you attain the first level!
Jade Emperor: As we suspected, this is indeed a very wondrous cultivation method. Once the Spirit Court is condensed, the path of cultivation can be restarted.
Tathagata: Jade Emperor, are you afraid!
Jade Emperor: Nonsense! Once you condense the Spirit Court, you'll have to give up your current cultivation. I'm afraid you old sly fox will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Tathagata: Jade Emperor, you want to tarnish my reputation. All that happened before was just a scheme by various parties. You and I both know it, but we were all powerless to do anything about it.
Tathagata: You and I are both pawns, otherwise we wouldn't have ended up like this.
Taibai: Your Majesty, Guanyin of Mount Ling has descended to the mortal realm with the Dragon-Subduing and Tiger-Taming Beasts, and has already moved into the Baihong Residential Area. Guanyin has transformed into a female form, clearly with ulterior motives!
Taibai: Forcibly altered the memories of A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality by Dragon-Subduing Tiger-Taming, and now Hua Wei a resident of White Rainbow Residential Complex.
Jade Emperor: Tathagata, do you have anything else to say?
Tathagata: Jade Emperor, have you planted a spy in my Spirit Mountain?
Jade Emperor: You do the first day of the month, I'll do the fifteenth!
The next moment, two notifications popped up in the group chat.
The Jade Emperor has been kicked out of the group chat by the Tathagata Emperor!
Spirit Mountain Tathagata looked at the notification on his phone screen but didn't react much.
After a long pause, she sighed softly and said, "In the end, it was still too late!"
The Tathagata and the Jade Emperor shared the same thought: this Divine Court Method was incredibly wondrous, and it was certainly necessary to refine it, but not now.
The Jade Emperor was worried that Tathagata trouble, Tathagata Buddha was also worried that the Jade Emperor would cause trouble, although to be honest, it would be pointless to cause trouble now.
After all, there is no longer a conflict of interest between them. They don't need to compete for Incense Vow Power in the mortal world, nor do they need to compete for religious Merit.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
They were all powerful figures who had come from the Primordial World, and had witnessed too many schemes and plots along the way.
They were schemed against by the Heavenly Dao, schemed against by Hongjun, schemed against by the Six Sages, but who knew that in the end, everyone would be schemed against by the Great Dao.
Tathagata was afraid, and so was the Jade Emperor.
With a sigh, Tathagata murmured, "Being a step late doesn't matter. In the end, everyone relies on their own methods, and even proximity doesn't guarantee priority."
Although Tathagata and the Jade Emperor did not cultivate this method, at least 70% of the countless Heavenly Immortal have begun to cultivate this Divine Court Method.
Now that the world is broken and Spiritual Qi is depleted, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata can still hold on thanks to their resources, but most immortals, Buddhas, demons and monsters cannot hold on for long.
In a valley in Mount E, Chuan City, an inconspicuous human-shaped rock suddenly emitted a Yingying, pale blue light, which flickered in intensity, as if someone were breathing within it.
In the staff dormitory of a bathhouse in Lu City, an obese middle-aged man who had been sleeping suddenly sat up.
After looking around, he landed lightly on the ground with an agility that didn't match his size, and then flipped over and jumped out of the window.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the rooftop and Meditation cross-legged in meditation.
"Without choice, there is no future; with opportunity, there is only one chance. Hesitation will only lead to defeat. Now that my Eldest Senior Brother has begun his cultivation, I cannot fall behind for long."
In a private villa on the western outskirts of Baihai City White City, Zhang Wenlei sat cross-legged, surrounded by a thick black aura that seemed to be alive, coiling around his body.
The Yinyin Shadow of a cow appeared and disappeared among them.
After a moment, the black energy receded, faded, and finally all drifted into the space between the eyebrows.
In apartment 402, unit 3, building 11, White Rainbow Residential Complex.
Chang E's body also shimmered with a white radiance, which slowly faded and eventually returned to normal, but a golden starlight appeared between her brows.
Upstairs, in room 501 on the 5th floor, Uncle Liu, who had discussed major renovations of the community with Ling Yi during the day, was surrounded by golden light, with swastikas swirling around him.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi was exploring a new Map within the Stone Stele Dreamscape.
As Ling Yi moved forward, the Bai Wu gradually spread to both sides, and the abandoned mountain village, which was originally only a corner, gradually revealed a larger area.
Ling Yi was still wearing his silver-white armor and wielding his silver-white longsword.
He moved cautiously, carefully observing his surroundings as he went deeper into the area.
As soon as a monster appeared, Ling Yi turned and ran.
However, even after Ling Yi had explored the entire abandoned mountain village, he had not seen a single monster.
The dense fog stopped at the North Village of the mountain village and ceased to spread, clearly indicating that this Limit of the exploration.
Ling Yi squatted at the village entrance for a long time, muttering, "I wonder just how big the Stone Stele Dreamscape really is!"
Ling Yi glanced back at the abandoned mountain village one last time and frowned.
Most of the houses have collapsed; very few remain intact.
The trees in the village were withered and rotten, and the roads were covered with a thick layer of dust.
After walking back a short distance, Ling Yi stepped over the collapsed low wall and arrived at a house that was still relatively well-preserved.
After a moment's hesitation, Ling Yi pushed open the wooden door.
Unexpectedly, the wooden door was already rotten and decayed. As Ling Yi touched it, it turned into a pile of wood chips, which scattered all over the ground.
Ling Yi was startled and involuntarily took a few steps back.
After waiting a moment and finding no movement, Ling Yi cautiously peeked inside the door.
The room wasn't very big, probably less than 20 square meters, and everything was clearly visible.
Near the window was a heated earthen bed, which was connected to a stove, on which sat a ceramic pot.
Ling Yi went over to take a look. The pottery jar was empty, except for a layer of dust.
There is a wooden cabinet in the corner.
The cabinet wasn't tall, probably less than half a meter. Ling Yi tapped it with his sword.
To Ling Yi's surprise, the wooden cabinet did not rot or fall apart like the wooden door.
This piqued Ling Yi's interest.
Perhaps, this wooden cabinet is the only thing we've gained today.
He bent down and tugged at the handle on the wooden cabinet, only to find that the cabinet door was tightly closed. He tried to open it for a long time, but to no avail.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi casually sheathed the sword in his hand at his waist, grabbed the protruding parts on both sides of the wooden cabinet with both hands, and lifted it up.
He turned and walked out.
A few minutes later, Ling Yi returned to the stone tablet carrying the wooden cabinet.
Just as Ling Yi was about to continue his research, the familiar feeling of dizziness appeared.
When I opened my eyes, I had already awakened from the Stone Stele Dreamscape.
The time was still 5:30 AM.
"Does it always have to be so sudden? At least wait until I ask you to open the cabinet before you wake up. Goodness, it's like you've set an alarm clock." Ling Yi shook his head.
This time, Ling Yi didn't get up as usual. Instead, he propped his chin up with one hand and began to ponder his experiences over the past few days.
The experiences I've had during this period have truly been quite magical.
From the time he started receiving tips of two and a half small goals until now, Ling Yi has been in a daze.
Now we're finally seeing some progress, but even more questions are swirling in our minds.
Let's assume that the Jade Emperor is truly the Jade Emperor, Tathagata is truly the Tathagata.
They really gave the reward for those two sentences, those forty-eight characters, so those two sentences must have extremely important significance.
Ling Yi had absolutely no idea what those forty-eight characters meant.
I only have Yinyin guess that this should be a cultivation technique.
If it truly is a cultivation technique, how can I, as the primary witness, not be allowed to cultivate it? That just doesn't make sense.
"Ugh, this is so troublesome! Can someone please explain this to me?!"
Ling Yi threw off the blanket, jumped onto the floor, and sat down in front of the Computer.
I opened the novel website and started writing.
However, Ling Yi didn't write much this time, only a little over a hundred words, to recount his experience in the Stone Stele Dreamscape.
A mere hundred-odd words, it's like a sham, worse than a diary entry.
However, after finishing writing about his experience in the Stone Stele Dreamscape, Ling Yi added a sentence at the end: I need to know the truth. That person, and that person, come out and explain, otherwise, I will stop updating this novel.
But as Ling Yi was about to click "post," she hesitated.
"Was this a bad move? If it really was the Jade Emperor and Tathagata, this threat of mine would probably be tantamount to courting death, wouldn't it?"
"What if they come clamoring for more updates? We're just A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality now, we probably can't handle that!"
Let alone the Jade Emperor and Tathagata, even those who rewarded him, such as the Vulcan God, the Mountain God, the Bull Demon King Yama, would be too much for him to handle if any one of them suddenly appeared.
Ling Yi deleted that sentence without hesitation.
"Then, is it possible to get some other benefits from these people?"
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi added a sentence: "I wonder what the Nine-Transformation Golden Core tastes like. I don't mean anything by it, I'm just curious!"
Then click Publish!
Yes, I'm just curious, not that I want it, please don't misunderstand!
After the Jade Emperor, Tathagata finished reading the latest chapter, they were all speechless.
Buddha chuckled Tathagata held his phone and sent a message directly to the Jade Emperor's personal account.
There's no way around it; we have to conserve our Magic Power whenever possible. Even things like direct Voice Transmission consume Magic Power, you know.
Tathagata: Ling Yi wants the Nine-Transformation Golden Core Elixir from you!
Jade Emperor: Get out!
Tathagata scratched his head. "So irritable? But it's understandable."
Where in the Heavenly Court are there any Nine-Transformation Golden Core anymore? Let alone Nine-Transformation Golden Core Elixirs, there aren't even any One-Transformation Golden Core.
Since the Primordial World collapsed and all the great, Small Thousand, and Middle Thousand World gradually returned to Void, where can one still find materials for alchemy?
In this degenerate age, Spiritual Qi is depleted. Let alone refining elixirs, even refining a pill that can extend one's life by three to five years is extremely difficult.
After thinking for Tathagata moment, Buddha sent another message to the Jade Emperor.
Tathagata: Jade Emperor, you shouldn't have replied to young friend Ling Yi yesterday. Your words probably made him guess something. This was likely a test.
Jade Emperor: Do you think I need you to teach me how to do things?
Tathagata: But what if I don't offer some benefits? What if my young friend Ling Yi stops updating his novel?
Jade Emperor: What do we do? Let's all wait to die together!
Jade Emperor: Or, wouldn't it be better for your Buddhist School to directly use its methods to Conversion Ling Yi, then Ling Yi would be completely under your Buddhist School's control?
Tathagata sighed. It wasn't that he hadn't considered such a method; in fact, just moments before, he had even been tempted by it.
Since the Divine Court Condensation Method already exists, even if Ling Yi doesn't update it, they still have a path to cultivation.
However, the message that Guanyin and the others reported back after their cultivation today was that this was only the first level of the Divine Court Method.
Their strength hasn't improved much; they can only barely maintain their current precarious state.
Even when their lifespan ends, they will still perish.
The Jade Emperor couldn't judge, but Tathagata Tathagata's current situation, even if he maintained his current Magic Power, he would only have a lifespan of two hundred years at most.
None of that is the key point. The key point is that even if Tathagata wanted to control Ling Yi right now, he couldn't!
Ever since Ling Yi unleashed the method to condense the first level of the Spirit Court yesterday, he has been protected by the Dao Principles Ling Yi.
According to Ling Yi's "novel," these forty-eight characters are the Dao Principles that protect him.
