The True [Primordial True Body]!
The lingering echoes of the bells ringing on the Dharma Demonstration Platform still resonated.
The afternoon sunlight filtered through the misty clouds of Spirit Mountain, casting dappled and sacred golden rays.
The brief rest did not dampen the five hundred Arhat' enthusiasm for seeking the truth and discussing the Dharma.
As soon as the hour of Wei (1-3 PM) arrived, without needing to be urged, the Arhat had already refocused their minds and turned their gazes back to the central lotus platform.
The gaunt old monk remained seated, only nodding slightly.
This time, it was an ethereal Arhat, draped in a robe with cloud patterns, who spoke first, explaining the distinction between "dreamlike illusion" and "empty reality and wondrous existence."
Following this, other Arhat took turns discussing the intricacies of the "Twelve Links of Dependent Origination," the essentials of practicing the "Six Perfections," and the ultimate True Intention of "Nirvana and Tranquility."
The Dharma teachings arose again, even more profound and subtle than those of the morning.
Qi Yun sat cross-legged on the spot, his expression calm and his gaze focused.
The sparks of wisdom from the five hundred Arhat continued to collide, and the essence of Buddhism and Daoism flowed like a long river, constantly flooding into his perception.
Initially, he was able to maintain a detached perspective and critical analysis, verifying, filtering, and absorbing what he heard and felt with his own fundamental Dao Foundation [Great Luo Heaven].
However, as time went on...
For three days and three nights, the Dharma teachings continued uninterrupted.
The discussions on the Dharma Demonstration Platform became increasingly profound, touching upon the mysteries of Buddhism and drawing ever closer to certain fundamental Principle.
The wisdom of the five hundred Foundation Establishment Arhat poured out without reservation, converging into a vast and boundless "ocean of Buddhist teachings".
Qi Yun, immersed in it, was like a sponge, constantly absorbing, digesting, and integrating.
His understanding of Buddhism and Daoism has been ascending, purifying, and deepening at an astonishing speed.
The aura of Buddhism that naturally emanates from his body has become increasingly refined and harmonious, evolving from an initial imitation, as if it had undergone countless trials and tribulations.
The Great Light Manifestation behind his head became increasingly restrained and profound. The lotus flowers, Sanskrit characters, and Buddha images that appeared within the halo gradually evolved from their initial awkwardness to a more lively and natural state.
It even began to subtly resonate with the deeper rhythms of Buddhist teachings.
His posture, his breathing, and even the tips of his fingers began to unconsciously exude a faint Buddhist aura.
As dawn broke and the first light of day pierced through the pale golden clouds, draping the Dharma Demonstration Platform in a final, magnificent veil.
The last Arhat to expound on the "union of compassion and wisdom" fell silent, clasping his hands in prayer.
The intense Buddhist baptism, which lasted for three days and three nights, has finally come to an end.
Many of the Arhat looked tired, but their eyes shone brightly, clearly indicating that they had gained a great deal.
The atmosphere was one of tranquility, fullness, and wisdom.
Qi Yun slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were clear and peaceful, without a trace of weariness, but rather with a clean and bright light as if they had been washed away.
He exuded a Buddhist aura, his breath was harmonious and unobstructed, and a warm, flowing light emanated from the back of his head, illuminating his calm and compassionate face.
At this moment, he sat there upright, truly appearing as an enlightened monk who had cultivated himself since childhood, deeply studied Buddhism, and whose mind was free from worldly dust.
It is consistent inside and out, pure and at ease, perfectly in harmony with the surrounding sacred environment.
Deep within the Great Luo Heaven, the golden figure that Cai Kun had transformed into suddenly stood up, a look of surprise and uncertainty appearing on his small face for the first time.
"Broken!"
He stared at the perfectly natural Buddhist aura emanating from Qi Yun outside, the golden phantom trembling slightly.
"This kid—he's been drawn in by the collective mental energy field and pure Buddhist teachings of these five hundred bald monks!"
Is the power of Buddhist influence in this Spirit Mountain Sacred Realm really so domineering and secretive?
"Even the simulation of the Primordial True Body is almost becoming real?"
He could sense that Qi Yun's current state was extremely unusual.
Their minds, their Daoist intentions, and even parts of their life rhythms were all unconsciously shifted and settled towards a pure and profound "Buddhist practice" under the influx and assimilation of the massive amount of high-level Buddhist information during those three days and three nights.
If this continues, Qi Yun's perception may be subtly influenced, and he might actually start to believe that he is "Fahai"!
"Watch me yell at you to wake you up."
Foolish child, why don't you—"
Cai Kun stirred up a wisp of pure Imperial Weapon spirit power, about to deliver a sudden, enlightening blow to the depths of Qi Yun's Purple Mansion!
Just as that powerful shout was about to burst forth, someone cried out, "Senior Cai, I'm alright."
Qi Yun's calm thoughts rang out first in the [Great Luo Heaven], clear and steady.
To the outside world, he still appears compassionate and dignified, like a Buddha.
However, within the Great Luo Heaven, Qi Yun's Divine Soul essence manifested itself quietly.
He still looked exactly like any other monk, sitting cross-legged in the center of the primordial Domain Heaven.
Surrounded by a halo of Buddhist light, even more intense and pure than the outside world, the ancient aura of the Great Radiance Sect intertwined with the essence of various Buddhist teachings absorbed over the past three days, creating a dazzling Buddhist spectacle.
However, at the heart of this blazing Buddhist light, deep within Qi Yun's Divine Soul's eyes, shone a clarity as if frozen in ice.
That was the absolute clarity that belonged to Qi Yun's true self.
It has never been corrupted by any Outer Dao.
Cai Shen's surging spiritual power abruptly stopped, and he looked at him with surprise and uncertainty. "You—?"
Qi Yun's Divine Soul body was not explained; he simply slowly formed a profound and ancient hand seal in front of his chest with both hands.
These are not Buddhist hand gestures.
Rather, it is the Law Seals [Great Luo Heaven].
"Governing all laws and evolving all phenomena."
The primordial True Intention differentiates Yin and Yang.
Amidst the deep chanting of Method Formula, the intensely blazing Buddhist light and the vast essence of Buddhist and Daoist teachings emanating from his body began to fluctuate violently, converge, and collapse!
The Great Luo Heaven trembled slightly, and the chaotic energy flowed faster, as if providing the most fundamental support and a furnace.
"Buzz!"
A clear, melodious sound rang out, carrying with it a natural, profound Daoist quality.
A figure slowly separated from Qi Yun, stood up, and walked out.
He was a man dressed in simple white monk's robes, with a peaceful face and eyes filled with endless compassion and wisdom.
His appearance was exactly the same as Qi Yun's, but his temperament was completely different.
The sharpness and composure that Qi Yun originally possessed have faded away.
What remains is the pure, harmonious, and compassionate demeanor of a great Buddhist master.
A luminous aura, far more solid and ancient than anything visible in the outside world, floats naturally behind his head.
At the core of the radiant image, a Great Radiance Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, with immeasurable power and virtue, sits cross-legged.
The white-robed monk bowed slightly to Qi Yun's Divine Soul soul, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes gentle, yet he remained silent, as if everything was understood without words.
At the same time, the [Law Technique Panel], which had been dormant, trembled slightly in Qi Yun's consciousness.
The [Great Luo Heaven] entry at the top of the panel suddenly shone with unprecedented brilliance.
The light flowed and converged, slowly forming a new line of text, shimmering with a faint golden-white glow, in the blank area below the Law Technique list:
[The Great Radiance Mahasthamaprapta Dharma Body]
"This time, I really have to thank these fellow Buddhist practitioners."
With a slight thought, the white-robed Dharma Body that had just solidified and whose appearance was identical to his but whose temperament was compassionate transformed into a warm, Flowing Light and merged into the [Great Luo Heaven], ready to manifest at any time and walk in the world.
Qi Yun's divine Divine Soul body exuded an increasingly profound and lofty aura, as if he were sitting atop the Great Luo Heaven, the source of all laws and all phenomena.
In the blink of an eye, chaos arises and vanishes.
It reflects the various lights and shadows of the three-day Dharma assembly, as well as a deeper level of enlightenment.
"If it weren't for this Dharma assembly, which brought together the wisdom of five hundred Arhat and the pure essence of Buddhist teachings, and continuously washed over and permeated by a vast amount of Buddhist and Daoist wisdom, it would have been impossible."
How could I possibly elevate the simulated Buddhist and Daoist principles to such a refined and profound level in such a short time?
He murmured to himself, his voice echoing in the vast [Great Luo Heaven], carrying a clear understanding of the fortuitous opportunity.
"It is also impossible to uncover the true, wondrous function hidden within this [Primordial True Body]."
My thoughts drifted back.
Since the formation of the [Primordial True Body], he has always believed that this Dharma Body is one of the [Dharma Body] for achieving the Samadhi of the True Lord.
Its core mystery lies in its ability to "simulate and transform all kinds of laws and traditions at will".
With the foundation of the Primordial Immortal Light and the [Great Luo Heaven], he could indeed freely control and simulate the magical Law Power of other schools.
Their aura, and even their Divine Ability abilities, are like wearing layers of deceptively realistic clothing.
This ability sounds incredibly powerful, enough to deceive everyone and cope with all sorts of complex environments.
But deep down, Qi Yun always felt that if it stopped there, it seemed a bit like a "white elephant."
His fundamental lineage is the Supreme Dao based on the Great Luo Heaven.
This path encompasses everything and governs all methods; its potential and depth far surpass those of ordinary schools.
While spending time and effort to simulate or even deeply study other lineages and traditions may provide convenience in specific situations, it is not impossible.
But in the long run, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Should we divert our precious spiritual energy to study a wide range of schools of thought, becoming a "broad but not deep" imitator?
This question, like a fine thorn, was buried deep within his heart.
Until now, he used the power of the [Primordial True Body] to simulate the lineage of the Great Radiance Sect and delve into this Buddhist kingdom.
Initially, it was simply regarded as a clever disguise.
However, the three-day Dharma assembly, the unreserved torrent of wisdom from the five hundred Arhat, and the all-pervasive and all-encompassing Buddhist aura of the Spirit Mountain Sacred Realm were all present.
He was almost transformed into the real person through the process of refinement, and his Divine Soul and Dao intent showed signs of deviation.
But crisis can also be an opportunity.
A profound and essential sense originating from the deepest part of the [Primordial True Body] was suddenly stimulated and illuminated by this extreme external pressure and internal accumulation!
The idea that all things can be changed at will is merely a superficial phenomenon!
The true domineering nature of [Primordial True Body] lies in its "Primordial" True Intention.
The origin of all things, the source of all laws, without attachment or hindrance, can give rise to all phenomena.
It can also be divided into countless forms!
Its original intention was not to imitate other traditions and become a hybrid.
Rather, it is after understanding and cultivating the essence of a certain method or lineage to a sufficiently profound and perfect level that one condenses into a complete body and spirit, capable of continuing to cultivate and advance on the path of that lineage.
[The Dao Lineage Dharma Body]!
This Dharma Body is like an independent tributary flowing out from his "primordial source".
Tributaries possess their own channels, water quality, and even the potential energy of their flow.
But it ultimately originates from the main trunk and is governed by the fundamental will of the main trunk, yet it will not turn against the main trunk or pollute its origin.
One body is the ultimate manifestation of a particular lineage.
And the potential of [Primordial True Body]----
"Other Foundation Establishment True Person, even those with unparalleled talent and extraordinary fortuitous opportunity, are limited by their own Dao Foundation and soul capacity. In their entire lives, they can only refine and condense a single [Dharma Body]."
Qi Yun's eyes swirled with a chaotic light as he deduced the picture behind this earth-shattering discovery.
"And I----"
With a slight thought, the mark representing the Great Radiance Mahasthamaprapta Dharma Body deep within the Great Luo Heaven glowed faintly.
"Given the right conditions and the ability to comprehend its essence to a certain level, I can—"
His gaze seemed to pierce through the Great Luo Heaven, reaching into the endless void, and into the myriad realms and countless lineages he might encounter in the future.
"To condense a second, a third—and theoretically countless—[Dao Lineage Dharma Body], each distinct!"
This is the true domineering nature of the [Primordial True Body]!
Each Dharma Body can reach the pinnacle of its own lineage.
The true self, however, resides high in the [Great Luo Heaven], ruling over all laws.
Silently observe as all beings expound the Way, and all streams return to their source!
This trip to Spirit Mountain turned out to be a blessing in disguise, a fortuitous encounter that allowed him to break through such a crucial barrier on his own Dao Path cultivation!
Qi Yun slowly exhaled an invisible breath, which transformed into a wisp of Daoist charm reminiscent of the primordial chaos within the [Great Luo Heaven], spreading outwards.
"The manifestation of the Dao Lineage Dharma Body on the [Law Technique Panel] means that it can also refine Daoist spiritual objects and upgrade the version."
This Spirit Mountain —it truly is a treasure land!
In the outside world.
Qi Yun slightly raised his eyes, looked at the group of Foundation Establishment Arhat around him, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
This smile is rarely seen in this Buddhist kingdom.
In the Northwest, however, it represents a prestigious and well-known name.
Wuji Sacred Sect!
