Dao and Virtue Manifestation, Transforming the Hu into Buddhas

After advancing to the External Scenery Third Layer, Yu Tunzhou's control over legal principles became increasingly adept.

He has always relied on his physical strength to compensate for the deficiencies in the principles of law. Although he mastered the Unity of Heaven and Celestial Person early on, it was only to ensure that he would not be easily crushed by his opponent.

Now, with the inner and outer worlds converging and the Spirit Aspect residing within, he finally truly comprehended the profound mystery of the laws.

This mystery becomes even more apparent under the blessing of heaven and earth.

The next step is to comprehend the profound mysteries of the law and open up Dharma Domain.

Once the Ultimate Art was fully developed, Yu Tunzhou prepared to establish a new Dharma Domain.

Yu Tunzhou had already experienced the wonders of the Dharma Domain back in the Buddhist Kingdom.

His experience in the Buddhist kingdom will be of great help to him in his future expansion of the Dharma Domain.

After clearing customs.

Yu Tunzhou arrived at the agreed location.

Several letters are already waiting here.

Before he went into seclusion, he found the Xuanbei Luo Household and told them some things.

One of these was to send a letter to Luofu Grotto-Heaven, informing Dingguang that he would be staying in Northern Plains from now on, and that he could contact the Xuanbei Luo Household if he had any important matters to attend to.

In addition, he entrusted the Xuanbei Luo Household to supervise Northern Plains on his behalf.

Yu Tunzhou reviewed the messages prepared by the Luo Household.

Luofu Grotto-Heaven has not yet replied.

During his seclusion, news of the Xie Household's defeat had already spread to the ears of all the major clans and sects in the Northern Plains.

Those who had previously been forced to submit to the Xie Household suddenly rose up in rebellion, and together they destroyed the remaining array platforms.

This was exactly as he had expected; he hardly needed to lift a finger.

After that.

The complete disappearance of the Xie Household sent chills down the spines of many families in Northern Plains, and various rumors spread, with some even linking it to extraterrestrial visitors in an attempt to confuse the public.

According to the Luo Household's deduction, it seems that someone behind the scenes does not want the name "Yu Tunzhou" to overshadow the entire Northern Plains.

Yu Tunzhou described this behavior as purely disruptive; even if it's useless, he'll still force something upon you.

There's no need to guess who's behind it all.

It was either some "demons" from beyond the heavens, or some powerful families from the Central Plains who had been targeting him since the beginning of the Heavenly Court Aristocratic Clan.

These actions prove that these guys are genuinely afraid.

pity.

They no longer have a chance.

Yu Tunzhou narrowed his eyes.

We still can't be too careless. These old, established Aristocratic Clan all have some incredible Immortals and Gods cards up their sleeves, so we can't afford to make a mistake.

Yu Tunzhou glanced at the message on the letter.

With the disappearance of the Xie Household, the major forces in the Northern Plains initially worked together, but after the Northern Plains Grand Formation was completely cleared and the remnants of the Xie Household were completely eliminated, they began to engage in open and covert struggles.

In the past, the Xie Household controlled the vast majority of resources in Northern Plains.

Now that the Xie Household has disappeared, and many other families that refused to submit have been wiped out by the Xie Household, a large "piece of fat" has become vacant in Northern Plains, and everyone wants to take a bite.

The reason why a direct conflict has not yet broken out is most likely because they are still wary of him.

But this apprehension is gradually fading as he has not appeared.

Not to mention there are forces secretly pushing things along behind the scenes.

In the words of the old woman from the Luo Household, all sides were already itching to act, and they urgently needed a bucket of ice water poured on them to completely kill any thoughts they shouldn't have.

Yu Tunzhou puts away the letter.

One can't help but lament the folly of these Aristocratic Clan; it seems that throughout history, from past lives to the present...

It has always been the same, never changing.

Despite being a large and prestigious family with hundreds or even thousands of years of heritage, they still couldn't change their inherent flaws.

For immediate gain, people are willing to gamble away the fate of their Lineage, which may have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years.

So be it.

When he returns from the Northern Dark Sea, he will meet with the various "masters" of the Northern Plains and survey the vast landscape below.

He looked up and saw that the sunlight was perfect, and the plains stretched as far as the eye could see in the distance.

He stepped into the air, his figure soaring up like a blue rainbow, heading towards the Northern Dark Sea.

Along the way, he saw a forest below, with ancient trees reaching for the sky, stretching for hundreds of miles.

This is the Northern Sea Forest, which is also the border between the Northern Plains and the Northern Dark Sea.

In High Antiquity times, this place was also the hunting ground of the Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor Grotto-Heaven, which he entered years ago, is hidden here.

Yu Tunzhou's gaze swept across the forest, locking onto the former entrance to the cave. It immediately hovered above the sea of trees, with endless greenery beneath its feet.

Years ago, he obtained a Peng feather in the cave heaven. Besides the remnant soul of Huntian, the Peng feather also contained the central coordinates of this cave heaven and the method of refining it.

At this moment.

As soon as he had this thought, the central core of the cave he had refined in the past immediately responded.

"Still there."

Yu Tunzhou gazes into the Void.

They pinpointed the location of the grotto-heaven that had vanished into the Void void.

Now I'm revisiting this place.

Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but recall the gate that had been suppressed deep within the cave.

Back then, the Demon Race spared no expense to break into it, ultimately sacrificing themselves to open that portal.

And in the end, they almost opened the door; even with just a crack, the oppressive aura emanating from it nearly crushed everyone.

If I hadn't been there and attracted the gaze of the ancient human emperor, I don't know what would have happened.

Ultimately, the Human Emperor used heaven-defying methods to move from the past to influence the future, causing the wild aura behind the gate to disappear. In its place was Peng Yu, containing the remnant soul of Huntian, and a fragment that appeared to be the Investiture of the Gods.

"When we have some free time, we can try to salvage this grotto-heaven from the Void turbulence."

Yu Tunzhou muttered to itself, then moved and continued its northward journey.

After all, retrieving a hidden paradise from the Void void is no easy task and requires careful planning.

He continued forward, entering the territory of the Northern Dark Sea, and then continued deeper into the Northern Sea.

All forces in the Northern Dark Sea Northern Sea jointly built the Northern Sea Defense Line to resist the invasion of overseas Demon Race.

Yu Tunzhou suddenly stopped, realizing that he had somehow stepped into another world.

The laws and the Void here gave him a strange sense of alienation; he even felt disoriented, as if he were out of place in all directions.

This feeling was so strange that it gradually caused him to lose his sense of space.

"This is... the Cosmic Heaven Grand Array?"

Yu Tunzhou carefully sensed the anomalies around him and began to make a guess.

"No wonder they were able to stop the invasion of the overseas Demon Race!"

Yu Tunzhou was in a bit of a headache.

His greatest advantage right now is his physical body, but physical body alone cannot break through the maze.

This kind of spatial maze is far more effective against him than the Golden Crow Formation Spirit.

Zhou Tian, shouldn't the word Zhou refer to time?

The word "universe" (宇宙) consists of two parts: "Yu" (宇) representing infinite space and "Zhou" (宙) representing time from ancient times to the present. Together, they form infinite spacetime.

This grand formation should be called the Heavenly Universe Formation.

Yu Tunzhou was struggling with how to break the formation. He should still be outside the formation. If he used a celestial artifact to forcefully break the formation, there would be a good chance of escaping.

After thinking about it, he felt there was no need for that at all.

The next moment, he released his aura without any concealment, his Qi and Blood and qi soaring to the sky, extremely hot, like a great sun falling to the Mortal Realm, extremely masculine.

Then came an even more magnificent burst of Fist Intent, faintly piercing the sky.

Several miles away.

Two figures were walking side by side when they suddenly stopped and turned around sharply.

"Such powerful Qi and Blood —I thought those barbarians from Thunder Accumulation Mountain had returned!" one person exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Qiandao's eyes burned with fervor as he took a step forward. "Even if the Great Strength Bull Demon Clan of Thunder Accumulation Mountain broke into the formation, how could they possibly be at the rear! It must be Yu Tunzhou has arrived!"

"Yu Tunzhou?!" Another young man exclaimed, a look of surprise mixed with delight. "The person Senior Lu chose in Luofu Grotto-Heaven?"

Liu Qiandao was about to step forward, but then he stopped.

"What's wrong?" the young man asked with concern. "Senior Liu, aren't you going to meet him? This Cosmic Heaven Grand Array is not easy to break. Even the outermost maze is enough to give Grandmaster a hard time."

Liu Qiandao shook his head. "Brother Jiang has already gone to meet him personally."

"Senior Jiang personally came to greet us?!" The young man's eyes widened in shock; that was Dharma Aspect master!

But he quickly looked relieved. "After all, it's Yu Tunzhou; it's reasonable that Senior Jiang values it so much."

value?

Liu Qiandao shook his head and sighed.

If Yu Tunzhou had visited this place a year or two ago, Jiang Wenxuan had personally greeted him, that would indeed have been a sign of "high regard."

But even now----

This is a courtesy between peers!

With the Northern Dark Sea so close at hand, how could they not be aware of the Northern Plains ' movements?

The Xie Household's defeat and retreat to the Central Plains was first reported and confirmed by the Northern Dark Sea.

The entire North Mountain Commandery seemed to have been hollowed out, with not a single building remaining and no trace of extensive damage. This could only mean that the Xie Household had taken the initiative to withdraw.

And to be able to push the Xie Household to this extent...

Yu Tunzhou can clearly be regarded as a "Dharma Aspect Image"!

Even though no one has yet figured out exactly how Yu Tunzhou forced the Xie Household to retreat, it doesn't prevent him from receiving the most lavish reception from local authorities wherever he goes.

This is out of reverence for Immortals and Gods, Dharma Aspect.

After Yu Tunzhou released his aura, it didn't take long.

In just a few breaths.

A figure in a green robe slowly emerged from the Void.

As this person landed, the distorted laws around them automatically retreated to both sides, opening up an unobstructed path.

The newcomer had a handsome face, slightly graying temples, and wore an immaculate blue robe. Although his aura was extremely restrained, his profound and deep Daoist charm could not be concealed no matter what.

Yu Tunzhou's gaze sharpened.

Dharma Aspect.

This person gave him a feeling completely different from that of the Golden Crow Formation Spirit.

He did not integrate into this world.

No!

He was one with the entire world, seemingly able to shake the world with a mere gesture, yet he was also filled with a distinct personal will!

This will was extremely clear.

This made him seem out of place in the entire world, which led to his momentary misjudgment.

This strange feeling is the biggest difference between this person and the Golden Crow Formation Spirit.

Or rather, the difference between the Dharma Aspect and Immortals and Gods.

Yu Tunzhou cupped his hands and Jiang Wenxuan Northern Dark Sea?"

He had already guessed the other person's identity.

There are two Dharma Aspect presiding over Northern Dark Sea.

Another person with a similar connection to him, Daoist Fuyao, is said to have already gone overseas, where he single-handedly "slipped away" a group of powerful Demon Race, thus relieving the pressure on the Northern Dark Sea front.

The person before me is none other Divine Capital Jiang Wenxuan, who was born into the Jiang Household of the capital city, but later parted ways with the Jiang Household.

Rumor has it that after Jiang Wenxuan broke through to the Dharma Aspect, the Jiang Household sent people to contact him more than once, trying to bring him back to the clan.

However, Jiang Household envoys they sent were thrown into the long Northern Dark Sea front by this man, and none of them have returned to their clan to this day.

Even their immediate family members are no exception!

As a result, no one in the Jiang Household dares to act as a mediator now.

Jiang Wenxuan sized up the young man before him, a subtle smile playing on his lips.

"Yu Tunzhou, I've heard so much about you, these days your name is practically legendary."

Yu Tunzhou cupped his hands and smiled, "Senior Jiang is too kind."

This person's relationship with Master Lu was both that of teacher and friend; he certainly deserves to be called a senior.

"Judging from your aura, you should not have opened your Dharma Domain yet. How did you manage to defeat the Golden Crow Formation Spirit of the Xie Household?" Jiang Wenxuan asked, his eyes filled with surprise.

As the Dharma Aspect closest to the Northern Plains, he was well aware of the strength of that array spirit.

Although its strength is weaker than that of an ordinary Dharma Aspect, only equivalent to Half-Step Dharma Aspect, the power of the True Solar Fire it wields is immense, enough to make up for the difference.

Overall, he was a novice in the Dharma Aspect, possessing the ability to resurrect infinitely, making him extremely troublesome.

Therefore, their relationship with the Xie Household gradually evolved into one of keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other.

Each relied on its own formidable formation, yet neither dared to launch a rash attack on the other.

Yu Tunzhou's words resolved his doubts.

I fear neither water nor fire.

Jiang Wenxuan chuckled silently.

Invulnerable to water and fire?

No wonder!

"Oh, right," Jiang Wenxuan said with a strange expression, as if he had just remembered something, "Have you seen Huaiqing's old Azure Ox?"

Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but ask, "What makes you say that Senior Jiang?"

Jiang Wenxuan shook his head and said, "That guy was saying you were coming a while ago; it wants to see you."

Yu Tunzhou thought to himself, "It seems this person is unaware of the other identity that Master Lu may possess."

Yes, if it really is "Dao and Virtue Manifestation," then according to Huntian's meaning, Master Lu probably wouldn't even know his own identity until his death.

The Dao and Virtue Manifestation is not reincarnation or possession, but a Dao Manifestation, formless and traceless, without cause or effect, arising from conditions.

No one knew what Master Lu had seen in the True Spirit Pool. "Please, Senior Jiang, guide me. I also wish to see it," Yu Tunzhou said, his mind made up.

"Let's go." Jiang Wenxuan nodded in agreement, without any hesitation.

Along the way, he inquired about the Xie Household's battle and where the Xie Household had fled to.

Upon hearing that the Xie Household had barely managed to survive by exiling themselves to the mortal realm, Jiang Wenxuan stopped in his tracks, his expression blank, as if he had just realized something.

Upon hearing Yu Tunzhou's description of the current situation in Northern Plains, Jiang Wenxuan showed no surprise, calmly stating, "The Aristocratic Clan of the Central Plains have always been like this; greed, ambition, and even the tendency to take advantage are their true nature."

"If I'm not mistaken, the main force behind the attempt to suppress you should be the Four Great Households of the Divine Capital, Jiang Household should be among them."

"What you just said reminded me of some old stories Four Great Households of the Divine Capital should all have similar portals that lead directly to the lower realm. I'm not sure about the other three families, but the Jiang Household definitely has one. I even witnessed someone ascending to this realm under the guidance of my elders back then."

Yu Tunzhou: It's clear that similar tactics aren't unique to the Xie Household.

On the Aristocratic Clan Ranking in the Central Plains, the Four Great Households of the Divine Capital occupy the top four positions. The Xie Household is famous because they are said to be able to rival the four great families.

Everyone stood shoulder to shoulder.

"The reason Huaiqing fell out with the Jiang Household back then, and why I also chose to leave the Lineage, was because the Jiang Household's so-called Ascension Grand Formation was filled with the lives of the Central Plains Human Race."

Jiang Wenxuan led the way, saying calmly, "It's not that we're being too merciful. The Central Plains is full of death row inmates, and the Six Paths of Evil and Demons are lurking around. Exchanging these people's lives for powerful beings from the lower realms to ascend and serve our Lineage is not a problem."

"The real root cause lies in the fact that the Jiang Household has been superior for too long. In their eyes, there is no difference between ordinary people and death row inmates; they are all potential candidates for the Dao."

Yu Tunzhou's eyes sharpened; he had already guessed what was going on.

"When you travel to the Divine Capital in the future, you must be careful. The Divine Capital is more than ten times more complex than the Northern Plains, and it involves far too many secrets."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Jiang."

The two, one after the other, soon arrived at a rocky islet.

The island, though only a hundred feet in size, was covered with lush vegetation.

Yu Tunzhou spotted the blue figure from afar.

An old Azure Ox lay in the shallow grass, its eyes half-closed, looking relaxed.

"That guy usually stays here and never goes anywhere, but recently he acted out of character and said he was going to leave."

Jiang Wenxuan stood a hundred feet away, hands behind his back, indicating that Yu Tunzhou could go alone.

"This guy Buxi us coming to the island; he says we need to respect his privacy."

At this point, Jiang Wenxuan's tone showed a hint of helplessness for the first time.

Yu Tunzhou was taken aback and walked onto the island alone.

He stopped about ten feet away, looked it over carefully, and confirmed that it was just an ordinary old Azure Ox, with no supernatural features or manifestations of magic in its body.

Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but wonder, was the other party's cultivation level too high, having returned to simplicity, or was it just an ordinary Azure Ox?

After a few breaths, the old Azure Ox finally noticed someone was coming and lazily lifted its eyelids. "Didn't I tell you not to disturb my sleep----"

The cow's eyelids lifted, and a figure completely different from the one it had seen before was reflected in its eyes.

The next moment.

The Azure Ox suddenly stood up, paced around the Yu Tunzhou, its tail sweeping across the shallow grass, and let out a long, joyful bellow, "Ah!"

"Grand Master, you've finally arrived!"

This single sentence confirmed all of Yu Tunzhou's previous conjectures.

Even though he had expected it, when the truth was laid bare before him, Yu Tunzhou still couldn't help but fall silent.

Master Lu is truly Dao and Virtue Manifestation.

The old Azure Ox stepped forward and gently nudged the Yu Tunzhou. Even now, it remained as ordinary as any other ox, showing no extraordinary abilities.

Yu Tunzhou cut straight to the point. "Is Master Lu the Dao and Virtue Manifestation?"

The old Azure Ox replied with a hint of respect, "Indeed."

Does he know it himself?

"I didn't know before, but I should know in the end, because I, Old Niu, have also 'awakened'."

"You mean—even after he learned the truth, you weren't clear about your own identity, just an ordinary ox?" Yu Tunzhou said in a deep voice, "You are also part of the Dao and Virtue Manifestation, not the true self?"

The Azure Ox nodded. "That's roughly it."

Yu Tunzhou remained silent for a moment, sorting through the information at hand, before asking, "What exactly is your purpose in going overseas at this time?"

Unexpectedly, the Azure Ox shook its head and said, "It's not that I'm going overseas, but that I want to travel with you, Grand Master."

"A great upheaval is about to occur in Buddhist School; you, Grand Master, are about to face a calamity."

Almost instantly.

The four words "Transforming the Hu into Buddhas" immediately came to mind when Yu Tunzhou spoke!
