A Second Dao Proving, the Red Lotus of Karmic Fire
Just as the Yakshas Garuda entangled by the Yakshas, in the center of the Great Luo battlefield...
Śakra stared wide-eyed at the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures, while his opponent, Minghe, was equally busy.
However, this differs from Śakra's act of peering into the Long River of Time.
Minghe keenly sensed Mahoraga's movements.
Especially after the other party entered the fruit, an innate intuition made Minghe unconsciously turn his gaze to the top of the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures. At the top of the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures, seven distinctly different fruits were shining brightly.
If ordinary fruits are the gateways connecting all the heavens and the myriad worlds, allowing individuals to reach the places their hearts yearn for.
Those seven fruits are the manifestation of the desires of all living beings; they are treasures born from the combination of most of the "human hearts".
They are common characteristics of all living beings, and are the embodiment of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hatred, and desire.
In Mahākāśyapa's vision, to realize the Ninth Consciousness, Amala Consciousness, one must unify the desires of sentient beings in the Alaya Consciousness.
However, there are so many beings and things in the world, let alone individual desires.
In terms of life forms alone, the desires of each organism are different.
Wolves eat sheep, sheep eat grass, and the grass absorbs nutrients from the earth...
This is the natural cycle, the ecological chain of nature, and a fundamental problem that even if Mahākāśyapa had realized the concept of "all sentient beings are Buddhas," he would not have been able to solve.
However, this Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures takes a different approach, starting with the seven emotions and six desires.
Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, desire...
This is a desire shared by all living beings, and it is also the foundation upon which the Eight Legions and all Buddha were born.
All living beings, regardless of whether they possess intelligence, inevitably possess these seven desires.
This Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures, by absorbing the desires in the Sea of Alaya Consciousness, nurtured this special commonality and human nature in a material form. As a Dao Proving One of Dao of Slaughter, Minghe's desires were far stronger than those of ordinary beings.
When this powerful desire resonated with the fruit of the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures, he immediately focused his gaze on the crimson fruit that symbolized "wrath."
"That is..."
Minghe only paused for a moment before realizing the true nature of the crimson fruit.
The next second, the Sea of Alaya Consciousness, hidden in the minds of all beings, began to boil, and the subconscious symbolizing the "Minghe" even manifested a physical form.
Boom!
In less than a breath, the sky above the Ocean of Milk suddenly split open.
Then, throughout the entire Jade Capital Heaven, numerous spatial rifts, as dense as a spider web, rapidly spread out.
"That's the Heaven of Growth!"
"How is this possible? The Heaven of Growth has completely overlapped with the Jade Capital Heaven?"
"Isn't the Heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings somewhere between illusion and reality? Why would this happen in the Heaven of Growth?"
"Wait... this feeling is... Heavenly Demon!?"
"Could it be that the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon has appeared? Is Chi planning to provoke another war with Great Unity?"
Accompanied by screams that rose and fell.
Crimson streams of light surged forth from those spatial rifts, continuously influencing the emotions of all beings in the Jade Capital Heaven.
Upon seeing this, the ancient Buddhas of Yama Heaven all showed expressions of fear, as if they had returned to the time of the Six Desire Heavens.
Wu Jun attained the "Dao of Great Unity" 20,000 years ago, and from then on entered the Six Desire Heavens, creating the Heavenly Realm, one of the Three Realms that encompasses the Thirty-Three Heavens. However, this does not mean that this was a matter of course.
The truth is quite the opposite. Neither the ancient Buddhas of the Six Desire Heavens Realms nor the Demon King could accept having an absolute ruler above them.
Not to mention, the original master of the Six Desire Heavens Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon —was also an incarnation of the Dao Ancestor.
The two sides have engaged in a contest more than once over the past 20,000 years, which ultimately led to the current structure of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
The Heaven of the Four Heavenly Kings split into four, becoming the Heaven of Upholding the Nation, the Heaven of Growth, the Heaven of Broad Vision, and the Heaven of Much Hearing —this happened during this period. Now, the appearance of the Heaven of Heaven of Growth, and the surging crimson light symbolizing "wrath," are strikingly similar to signs of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon's resurgence. "No, that can't be the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon!"
Suddenly looking up at the sky, Śakra decisively denied it.
Because his true form is Zhuang Zhou, he understands the essence of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon better than anyone else.
That was merely an incarnation used by the Dao Ancestor to counterbalance Great Unity; it would be absolutely impossible for it to appear under such circumstances.
Without the existence of the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon, the Heavenly Realm would never be what it is today, and Great Unity would never be willing to retreat to the background.
So the question arises: where does that power, so similar to the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon, come from?
"Minghe! What are you doing!?"
Thinking of this, Śakra suddenly turned his head to look at the Minghe opposite him.
"Haha, I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do!"
As if he had expected it, Minghe laughed wildly and then charged towards the top of the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures without hesitation.
"Don't even think about it!"
There was no time to think too much; Śakra caught up with Minghe ahead of him.
However, Minghe was prepared. Without looking back, he threw down the Yuan Tu and Avici swords and used them to intercept Śakra.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the embodiment of the Minghe, the Yuan Tu and Avici swords require no Law Technique Divine Ability and can fight completely independently. The crimson Yuan Tu Sword is more adept at killing, striking vital points with every blow.
The black Avici Sword was more adept at combat, each strike aimed at Śakra's weaknesses.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had already exchanged several blows, forcing Śakra to divert his attention and rendering him unable to continue pursuing Minghe. "Haha!"
Taking advantage of this moment, Minghe had already appeared at the top of the Wondrous Tree of Seven Treasures.
Gazing at the crimson fruit so close at hand, he unhesitatingly summoned the crimson torrent surging from the Heaven of Growth, pouring it all into the fruit.
Vortex... Vortex... Vortex...
In an instant, a huge vortex formed around the red fruit.
This crimson fruit, originally born from the combined wrath of all living beings, is gradually becoming the "wrathful essence" belonging only to the Minghe.
Those crimson torrents are the individual subconscious that Minghe Styx forcibly separated from the Sea of Alaya Consciousness.
As more and more "angry obsessions" poured in, the crimson fruit ripened prematurely.
Crack!
With a crisp cracking sound, a lotus flower, even redder than blood, was born.
The crimson lotus flower had twelve petals, and its surroundings were engulfed in Karmic Fire that could directly scorch the soul and cause and effect.
Thus, a new concept was born in the Three Realms: Karmic Force.
This is a transformative power of the Dao of Slaughter, a path that combines desire and the power of slaughter.
As the master of this new force, Minghe can clearly sense that his Dao Path is evolving and transforming, and all of this originates from the crimson lotus before him.
