Deduce Cultivation Method (Great Nirvana Killing Buddha Scripture)

Mount Sumeru in the West, though the ancestral vein of the Western lands, had been ravaged by the conflict between Dao and Demon and polluted by Rahula's Demonic Energy, making it far less spiritually vibrant than the immortal mountains and blessed lands of the East like Kunlun and Buzhou.

The mountain range was majestic yet tinged with desolation, its spiritual energy thin and impure, laced with stubborn remnants of demonic Sha that could not be fully eradicated.

The Daoist abodes of Jieyin and Zhunti sat atop the peak—not as resplendent golden palaces, but two ancient stone halls, exuding an aura of stillness, resilience, and wisdom.

Within the stone halls, the space was a world apart, opened by sage means and containing its own inner universe. Clear light flowed, faint Sanskrit chants echoed, sealing off the barrenness and filth of the outside.

Though simple, it possessed a pure and solemn Daoist charm.

Ming Xin followed his two masters into the main hall. The hall was empty, with only three plain meditation cushions at its center.

Jieyin and Zhunti gestured for Ming Xin to sit. The two exchanged a glance, and on their gaunt, austere faces, a rare expression of awkward embarrassment surfaced simultaneously.

Daoist Jieyin cleared his throat, his mournful demeanor deepening, his voice carrying a barely perceptible strain: "Ming Xin, my disciple... according to the common custom of the Primordial World, when a master takes on a disciple—

especially one as gifted in talent and fortune as you, our Founding Disciple—they should bestow a protective spiritual treasure as a token of the master-disciple bond..."

Daoist Zhunti picked up, his compassionate smile faltering slightly, tinged with helplessness: "But... the West is impoverished. Since the Dao-Demon War, it has been severely weakened, its spiritual veins dried up, and heavenly treasures hard to find... Your master and your second master..." He paused, as if the word "poor" was too blunt, and rephrased, "...our assets are... well... not particularly abundant.

This master-disciple gift..."

Before he could finish, Ming Xin understood. He looked at these two figures, renowned throughout the Primordial World and destined to become sages in the future, now showing embarrassment over their inability to offer a proper gift to their disciple. Instead of feeling the slightest disdain or dissatisfaction, a surge of warmth and respect welled up in his heart. These were true masters, exhausting themselves for the sake of the West!

He rose abruptly, bowed deeply to his two masters, and spoke with sincere conviction: "Masters, you are mistaken!

Your disciple Ming Xin was born here, grew up here, and achieved Form Transformation from the polluted earth veins of the West. How could I not know the West's hardships?

Spiritual treasures are mere external tools, vessels for protecting the Dao. My true form is already a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the 'Slaughter Buddha Seal'—sufficient for offense and defense!

To be accepted as your disciple, to receive your teachings and listen to the Great Dao—this is your disciple's supreme fortune, surpassing countless spiritual treasures of the Primordial World! Masters, do not trouble yourselves over this!"

These words came from the depths of his heart, resolute and powerful.

Jieyin and Zhunti both trembled at his words! They looked at this disciple before them—tall and upright, with clear, unwavering eyes—his genuine understanding and heartfelt reverence, like the warmest spring, instantly washing away the knots and embarrassment born of their poverty.

In Jieyin's eyes, which bore the sorrow of countless ages, a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer of moisture appeared. His lips moved slightly, but in the end, only a low, emotion-laden sigh escaped: "My disciple... Ming Xin..."

Daoist Zhunti was even more moved, his gaunt face filled with relief and emotion. He slapped his knee heavily: "Good! Truly 'surpassing countless spiritual treasures'! Ming Xin, my disciple, with a heart like this, how could the Great Dao elude you?

This sentiment—your master and your second master will remember!" He looked at Jieyin, their eyes meeting in mutual understanding: They had chosen the right disciple! This master-disciple gift would be made up for in the future! And with the best!

"A gift from an elder must not be refused. Though we have no spiritual treasures, passing on the Dao and teaching is the master's duty."

Jieyin composed himself, the mournful look on his face easing, replaced by solemnity. He pointed like a sword, and together with Daoist Zhunti, they reached forward!

Swish! Swish!

Two faint lights—one desolate and profound, like the embers of stillness; the other rounded and wise, like the dawn's first light—instantly pierced into Ming Xin's brow!

In that moment, a torrent of scriptures, vast as the starry sea and profound as the Heavenly Dao, flooded into Ming Xin's sea of consciousness!

The Great Nirvana Bright Scripture! Jieyin's foundational method! It expounded the supreme path of stillness and nirvana, crossing the sea of suffering, illuminating ignorance, and attaining eternal brightness!

The scriptures flowed, as if countless Buddhas chanted in stillness, guiding the way to transcendence.

The Great Nirvana Supreme Scripture! Zhunti's foundational method! It expounded the emptiness of all dharmas, unimpeded wisdom, using the mind of stillness to enact great vows, breaking all illusions, and realizing the profound truth of supreme Bodhi!

Every word was a gem, radiating the light of wisdom, as if capable of discerning the origin of all laws.

The two foundational sage techniques were imprinted without reservation into the depths of Ming Xin's soul! This was a priceless treasure!

The key to the Primordial Dao! Its value far surpassed ordinary spiritual treasures!

At the same time, Daoist Zhunti flicked his sleeve, and nine round, full Bodhi Seeds, warm and smooth like green jade, radiating an aura that calmed the mind and sharpened wisdom, fell into Ming Xin's palm.

"These are Bodhi Seeds born from my true form, one in ten thousand years, yielding only nine. Cultivate with them, and you can illuminate your original mind, calm your spirit, ward off external demonic intrusion, and gain great benefit in comprehending the Great Dao." Daoist Zhunti spoke gently. These Bodhi Seeds were precious even to his true form.

Ming Xin felt the two vast sage techniques in his sea of consciousness and looked at the nine warm Bodhi Seeds in his palm, his heart surging.

This was true master's grace! He bowed deeply once more: "Your disciple Ming Xin thanks the two masters for passing down the techniques and bestowing these treasures!"

"Sit, my disciple." Daoist Jieyin gestured for Ming Xin to settle on the cushion. "The transmission is complete; now it is time to teach the Dao and resolve doubts.

We two have listened to the Dao Ancestor lecture on the Primordial Dao at the Purple Cloud Palace and gained deep insights. Today, we shall lecture on the Dao for you, blending these insights with our path of stillness and wisdom, to organize your foundation and illuminate your future path."

Daoist Zhunti nodded with a smile, gently waving his whisk, as a clear light of wisdom enveloped the entire stone hall: "This lecture will span two thousand years. The first thousand years, we will lecture on the Dao for you, helping you fully stabilize your Primordial Unity Golden Immortal mid-stage realm and integrate the gains from your Form Transformation. The next thousand years, you will comprehend and settle on your own.

Once your foundation is thoroughly solid, we will open the second lecture, expounding deeper principles. At that time, we three, master and disciples, shall jointly contemplate the Great Dao!"

Ming Xin sat cross-legged on the cushion as instructed, without hesitation placing one Bodhi Seed into his mouth.

Instantly, a cool, warm stream of wisdom, penetrating straight to his soul, spread through him, elevating his mind to an unprecedented state of clarity, stillness, and sharpness.

No external demons could intrude; no stray thoughts arose.

"Your disciple obeys!" Ming Xin replied in a deep voice, his mind fully settling into stillness.

The next moment, vast Buddhist chanting and Daoist singing resounded within the Stone Hall!

Daoist Jieyin's voice was like the deep bell of nirvana, low and compassionate, expounding the true essence of nirvana and extinction, the karma of sinking and floating in the bitter sea. The ignorance shattered by light... every syllable carried the weight of the Western Land and the vastness of transcending life and death.

Daoist Zhunti's voice was like a clear spring of wisdom, pure and harmonious, interpreting the mystery of all dharmas being empty, the agility of Bodhi wisdom, and the resilience of great vows and actions... Every word and phrase carried a sharpness that pierced through illusion and reached the origin.

The two Dao sounds intertwined and resonated, sometimes like evening drums and morning bells, provoking deep thought; sometimes like grand bells and giant chimes, shaking the deaf and awakening the dull; sometimes like spring breeze and rain, moistening things silently. Countless profound law runes manifested and cycled through birth and destruction in the void, expounding supreme principles like extinction, wisdom, karma, and willpower. The entire Stone Hall seemed to transform into an ocean of Dao, a cradle of laws!

Ming Xin sat within it, a Bodhi Seed in his mouth, his mind bathed by the Dao sounds of the two sages, as if scoured and tempered by the purest sweet spring again and again. The Buddha-Demon power and Killing Origin forcibly fused during his Form Transformation, under the sorting of the sages' great Dao, began to truly merge, settle, and stabilize. The Primordial Unity Golden Immortal mid-stage realm was like a foundation that had been tamped down, becoming incomparably solid. His control over his own power, his understanding of the unity of Buddha and Demon, and the Killing Law, all deepened and sublimated at an astonishing speed.

Wrapped in this vast Dao sound, Ming Xin's consciousness sank into the deepest part of his sea of consciousness, connecting with the long-dormant deduction system.

"System! Activate highest authority deduction at full power!"

"Target: With my past life's Book of the Dead as the fundamental core, fully integrate the essence and mysteries of Master Jieyin's Great Nirvana Bright Scripture and Master-Uncle Zhunti's Great Nirvana Supreme Scripture. Combine the Killing Law origin innately contained in my main body's 'Slaughter Buddha Seal', as well as my own Buddha-Demon unity trait!"

"Deduction direction: A fundamental cultivation method at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin level!"

"Method characteristic requirements: Align with the core concept of 'Killing to protect life, severing karma, not severing people'! Use killing to stop killing, use nirvana to bear compassion, use killing to end karma and obstacles! Walk the path of Proving the Dao through Laws!"

"Spare no expense! Deduct at full power!"

[Command confirmed! Highest authority deduction initiated!]

[Core template loaded: Book of the Dead (Otherworld root-level Death Law manifestation scripture)... Load successful!]

[Fusion template loaded: Great Nirvana Bright Scripture (Primordial sage-level Nirvana Extinction Method)... Analyzing...]

[Fusion template loaded: Great Nirvana Supreme Scripture (Primordial sage-level Wisdom Extinction Method)... Analyzing...]

[Origin Law injected: Killing Law origin (Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure level)...]

[Host trait fused: Buddha-Demon unity (Nirvana Buddha Light/Chaotic Demonic Energy equilibrium state)...]

[Deduction target: Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin level method... Deduction direction: Killing Law Dao Proving... Core concept locked: Killing to protect life, severing karma, not severing people...]

[Energy reserve invoked: 100%... Sage Dao resonance environment enhancement... Bodhi Seed wisdom amplification... Deduction efficiency maximized...]

The cold system prompt exploded within Ming Xin's Consciousness Core!

The next moment, his sea of consciousness seemed to transform into the chaos at the dawn of the universe! Countless brilliant streams of light, representing different laws and different concepts, collided wildly, annihilated, and recombined!

Representing the Book of the Dead was a torrent of gray-black, twisted ancient runes, full of finality and icy death intent! It came from another world, carrying an aura vastly different from the Primordial laws, domineering and pure.

Representing the Great Nirvana Bright Scripture was a vast, desolate, and profound ocean of golden Sanskrit, which yet nurtured a single point of eternal light at the end of extinction!

Representing the Great Nirvana Supreme Scripture was a cool, clear, ever-flowing river of silver runes, capable of illuminating all mist and containing infinite wisdom!

And representing the origin of the 'Slaughter Buddha Seal' was a dark red, utterly pure great seal, condensed from countless icy threads of the Killing Law!

These four torrents of 'information', vastly different in nature, extremely high in level, and containing supreme power, under the absolute control of the system, were like four Ancient Fierce Beasts forcibly confined together, madly colliding, biting, and devouring each other in the core of Ming Xin's sea of consciousness!

Each collision erupted with a storm of laws capable of tearing apart the soul of an ordinary Primordial Unity Golden Immortal! If not for the Bodhi Seed stabilizing his mind, the Dao sounds of the two sages forming an invisible barrier of protection, and the system itself acting as the most powerful firewall, Ming Xin's consciousness would have been torn to shreds by this violent deduction process in an instant!

[Law conflict! Otherworld Death Law and Primordial Nirvana Law show fundamental repulsion... Deduction correcting... Introducing Killing Law as 'sword'... Forcibly severing repulsion nodes...]

[Concept conflict! The 'salvation' true meaning contained in Nirvana Brightness creates a paradox with the absolute 'finality' of the Book of the Dead... Deduction correcting... Using 'killing' as 'salvation', using ending karma as transcendence... Core concept 'Killing to protect life' mediating...]

[Energy structure conflict! Buddha light and demonic energy equilibrium must perfectly integrate into the new method's core... Deduction correcting... Constructing 'Buddha-Demon Furnace'... Using Nirvana Buddha Light as the furnace wall... Using Chaotic Demonic Energy as fuel... Using Killing Origin as the hammer... Forging the supreme Killing Dao...]

[...Fusion progress 27%... 49%... 68%...]

The system's cold voice, like the most precise machinery, continuously reported the progress while forcibly correcting billions of conflicts and paradoxes in the deduction process with unimaginable computational power! It was like a ruthless blacksmith, wielding the heavy hammer of the 'Killing Law'. Under the forging of the 'Buddha-Demon Furnace', it smashed the otherworld death intent of the Book of the Dead, the nirvana light of the Great Nirvana Scripture, and the wisdom emptiness of the Great Nirvana Scripture fiercely together, removing impurities and fusing the essence!

Ming Xin's consciousness was like a small boat in a storm, enduring the indescribable pain of tearing and reformation. He was both an observer and a participant. The insights from reciting the Book of the Dead in his past life, the comprehension of the Killing Law during his Form Transformation, the realizations from listening to the sages' great Dao at this moment, the subtle experience of Buddha-Demon balance—all of this turned into fuel, thrown into this mad deduction furnace!

Time flowed within the vast Dao sounds of the Stone Hall. The thousand-year sermon was nearing its end. The aura on Ming Xin's body surface had long since stabilized like a mountain, and his Primordial Unity Golden Immortal mid-stage realm had been tempered to its utmost limit.

But the storm of deduction raging within his sea of consciousness had reached its most violent peak!

[...Fusion 99%...Key node breakthrough...Law integration...Core concept manifestation...Deduction complete!]

Boom—!!!

At the core of Ming Xin's sea of consciousness, the violently colliding streams of light suddenly calmed!

All the light collapsed inward, condensed!

Finally, it took shape as an ancient scripture suspended at the center of his sea of consciousness!

The scripture was neither metal nor stone, neither silk nor jade. Its entire body manifested a deep dark gold, while its edges burned with an unquenchable gray-white Nirvana Flame!

The cover bore no words, only a singular, ever-shifting mark outlined by pure Killing Law—a mark that sometimes transformed into a blood-stained lotus pedestal, sometimes into a shattered shackle, sometimes into an icy sword blade. Its core true intent was: Kill to protect life, sever karma, not the person!

The moment Ming Xin's will touched this scripture, a vast, cold, slaughterous will that ended all things yet contained within its endless nirvana a thread of guardianship and transcendence descended with a crash!

The scripture automatically flipped open to its first page.

Three characters, as if written in congealed blood of slaughter and ashes of annihilation.
