The following day, at the Azure Dragon Hall.
Han Xuanji didn't dwell on yesterday's events. Calm and collected, she began signing in as usual.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Azure Dragon Hall and obtained the Secret Method " Bodhi Visualization Sutra ".]
" The Bodhi Visualization Sutra?"
Han Xuanji was slightly surprised.
Legend has it that Nine Provinces Continent thousand years ago, a high-ranking monk from overseas crossed the boundless ocean to spread Buddhism in the Nine Provinces. However, he was resisted by various local sects and was eventually forced to live in a remote and harsh place in the far west of the Nine Provinces. As a result, the Buddhist Order tradition gradually declined in the Nine Provinces.
Buddhist Order Cultivation Method are known for their ability to temper the physical body and refine the spirit.
At this moment, Han Xuanji also received the memories transmitted by the system, and countless profound scriptures were instantly infused into him.
"Indeed, it is a supreme Secret Method of Buddhist Order."
Han Xuanji thought to himself.
This " Bodhi Visualization Sutra " is precisely the supreme contemplation method that directly points to the origin of the soul!
Its core essence is to visualize an ancient Bodhi tree containing supreme wisdom deep within the sea of consciousness, using divine thought as a guide to communicate with the the Unseen Buddha nature, so that the soul can be as clear and unblemished as the Bodhi tree, and be resilient Immortal.
"By visualizing Bodhi with divine thought, directly pointing to the origin of the Great Dao, the ultimate goal of this Cultivation Method... is probably even higher than the ' Primordial Immortal Instruction '!"
Han Xuanji understood immediately.
The Bodhi tree, also known as the tree of wisdom or the tree of enlightenment, is said to awaken one's divine nature and lead to understanding of the great Dao.
The World-Honored Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, achieving the supreme path.
Han Xuanji's soul was naturally not weak. The higher the realm, the stronger the soul, physical body, and spiritual power would become, not to mention that he had also consumed many elixirs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
But who would complain about becoming stronger in this area?
A glint of light flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes. Without further thought, he immediately immersed his mind in the profound scriptures.
Deep within the sea of consciousness, the blurry yet boundless vitality of a Bodhi tree slowly began to take shape...
The Imperial Palace of the Great Xia.
"You... you won?"
Emperor Xia suddenly stood up from his dragon throne, his heart filled with disbelief and joy.
The long-standing gloom that had lingered between his brows had now dissipated.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true; the news has been repeatedly confirmed!"
A Spirit Transformation cultivator bowed and reported, his voice trembling uncontrollably, his face filled with shock and lingering fear.
"It's... it's the Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable!"
With a single sword strike, the Divine Fire Church's patriarch, the four Venerables of the Heaven-Severing Alliance, and tens of thousands of elite cultivators from the Great Ming Dynasty were all reduced to ashes!
He took a deep breath and continued, "Moreover, according to reliable sources, the Great Ming army is also beginning to waver."
At this moment, Li Yuntian and the Third Prince exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and shame in each other's eyes.
Back then, they tried to recruit or even scheme against such a person; now, looking back, how ignorant and ridiculous they were.
Faced with overwhelming power, these schemes are utterly laughable.
Right now, they have only one thought in their minds: do everything in their power to befriend them, and even if they can't befriend them, they must never make enemies with them!
"Good! Good! Great--!"
Emperor Xia could no longer contain himself and lost his composure.
After a long while, he calmed himself down and regained his imperial demeanor, but the excitement in his heart remained undiminished.
" The Divine Profound Sect... truly is the pillar supporting the heavens of our Great Xia!"
The Xia Emperor sighed sincerely, his voice filled with unprecedented solemnity.
" The Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable, with a single strike, settled the fate of the world, turning the tide of battle..."
"Truly a living Sword Immortal, no, he is the guardian sword Sword Immortal of our Great Xia!"
His gaze swept across the assembled officials in the hall, and he issued a resolute order:
"By imperial decree, the entire nation must mobilize its resources and spare no expense to forge a friendly relationship with the Divine Profound Sect and the Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable!"
Those members of the royal family who possess the necessary talent will be given priority to be sent to the Divine Profound Sect for cultivation.
The treasures of the national treasury are at the Sword Master's disposal; whatever he desires, he may take as he pleases.
Furthermore, I am preparing a state gift of the highest caliber; I... intend to personally visit the Divine Profound Sect to express my gratitude to the Sword Immortal!
"Your Majesty, we obey!"
The entire court of officials responded in unison, without uttering a single dissent.
Many high-ranking officials even volunteered to accompany the imperial envoy to the Divine Profound Sect, even if it was just to admire the peerless Sword Immortal immortal's demeanor from afar.
The news spread like wildfire, and all the major cultivation Aristocratic Clan within the Great Xia Dynasty were mobilized.
One by one, the patriarchs who had been in seclusion for many years emerged and issued strict orders to the clan:
"Send any talented members of the clan to the Divine Profound Sect immediately!"
This is a decision that concerns the fate of our Lineage for a thousand years!
Soon, the news of the deaths of the five great Tribulation Transcendence shocked the world.
It should be noted that the Divine Fire Church was one of the most powerful sects within the Great Ming Imperial Dynasty. This time, they mobilized all their forces, and even joined forces with four Tribulation Transcendence Venerables from the overseas overlord, the Heaven-Severing Alliance, as well as many high-level cultivators from the Great Ming. Such a formidable lineup was completely wiped out in front of the Divine Profound Sect's mountain gate, with not a single survivor!
In the shadows, countless eyes, through Secret Method and Law Treasure, glimpsed glimpses of that battle.
The sword light that tore through the sky and annihilated all things, and the terrifying scene of annihilation of life for thousands of miles, were deeply imprinted in the soul of every observer.
In the past, some cultivators from major overseas sects were quite arrogant and domineering in Great Xia, but after learning about this matter, they began to restrain themselves, especially those traveling in Great Xia, who no longer dared to be as unscrupulous as before.
In just a few days, the reputation of the Divine Profound Sect soared to unprecedented heights!
Countless people compare it to the ancient holy sites and immortal sects of Central Province that have been passed down for thousands of years.
Even those powerful overseas sects, with their deep-rooted traditions, heard the news of the Heaven-Severing Alliance's great loss and quietly memorized the names of " Divine Profound Sect " and " Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable ".
The root of all this lies in the power of that single sword strike!
The Imperial Palace of the Great Ming, the Golden Throne Hall.
The atmosphere was oppressive.
One urgent report after another was sent into the palace, each word like a heavy hammer blow to the heart of the current Ming Emperor.
He sat upright on the dragon throne, but he was no longer the spirited man he once was. His eyes were empty and lifeless, and his face was shrouded in an inescapable sorrow and despair.
Overnight, his temples turned even whiter.
the day before.
Only a very few members of the royal family knew that the soul lamp that had protected the Great Ming Dynasty for ten thousand years had been extinguished.
It should be noted that this royal ancestor was at the Middle Tribulation Transcendence realm, and now he, along with the Imperial Preceptor and many other experts from the royal faction who accompanied him, have all perished!
Having lost so many top-tier combatants, let alone continuing the attack on Great Xia.
At this moment, the imperial court was already rife with undercurrents.
Various factions were stirring, and with so many trusted confidants lost, even Emperor Ming felt a sense of despair.
" Devil-Slaying Sword Venerable..."
Emperor Ming muttered to himself, his voice dry and hoarse.
He looked up in the direction of the Great Xia, his eyes filled with deep awe and fear.
The power displayed by that peerless swordsman from the Great Xia was beyond human comprehension.
Let alone the Great Ming, even in the vast overseas territories... how many could rival us?
"Truly... Heaven has forsaken me."
