Abstinence Wisdom King

In Buddhism, the status of a wrathful deity is roughly below that of a Buddha or Bodhisattva, but above that of a Dharma protector.

It is both an avatar and the original self, belonging to those who can cultivate themselves.

Compared to the Buddha's teachings and the Bodhisattva's guidance, the main task of the Vidyaraja (wisdom king) is to subdue inner demons, suppress greed, anger, ignorance, Outer Dao, heretics, and karmic obstacles, and to powerfully guide difficult-to-tame beings.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the Ming King seems to be a henchman.

That's not entirely wrong. Generally speaking, if the Buddha's compassionate teachings fail, then it's time for the Buddha to step in.

However, it also belongs to the "high-level" group responsible for "education," except that they usually use fists to educate.

In this situation, the greater the anger and attachment, the stronger the karmic force of the Wisdom King.

The closer one gets to these Buddhist authorities—cutting off obstacles, severing life and death, trampling demons, breaking ego, and subduing and saving sentient beings—the more powerful and Law Power the wrathful deity becomes.

But the fact that you sent over a Lust Abstinence from the "NoFap" forum made Hu Mang a little uneasy.

Of course, Wisdom King Aizen's authority is not just about Lust Abstinence. He is the wrathful manifestation of Vajrasattva (Vajrapani, Lord of Secrets). His core practice is that afflictions are enlightenment. He does not forcibly eliminate love, attachment, and desire, but rather purifies and transforms the emotional energy of greed and attachment into spiritual concentration, good relationships, and a pure mind.

--This quote, as a famous saying from the Lust Abstinence forum, is not at all out of place.

In short, in terms of style alone, it is even half a level higher than the Prison-Subduing Wisdom King subdued by the Jingtu Master Jingtu, because its true form is a genuine Bodhisattva.

But it's precisely this frustrating evolution of Buddhism—

No wonder that Wei Fotuo form was so weak; he probably didn't even master the Wisdom King Method.

Or rather, even if one were to cultivate it, it wouldn't be of much use. This Vidyaraja is not for fighting, but for cultivation.

"Lust Abstinence, how do you cultivate that?" Hu Mang muttered to himself.

Self-castration technique, cuckolding technique?

These are two very common methods of martial arts training in Wuxia (martial arts fiction) novels.

Hu Mang used to be a big fan of martial arts novels, but he dislikes this type of martial arts.

Why do you always go down such low and despicable paths?

He'd be better off cultivating the "Rotten Bones Great Method," at least that Devil Cultivation Method uses the original ingredients to transform the original food.

Um?

Having practiced this "Rotten Bones Great Method," it seems that one can use the Buddha-Devil Transformation and demon to practice this "Wisdom King Aizen" method. After all, having practiced the "Rotten Bones Great Method," one loses both the brain and the penis, so practicing this Wisdom King Method is practically a seamless transformation.

Perhaps this opportunity can be used to Buddha-Devil Transformation to a higher level.

No, no, no, Hu Mang quickly dismissed this tempting idea.

Don't always think about cutting off your lower body first; it will negatively impact your physical and mental health.

He didn't suffer the loss of his family or the death of his loved ones, nor did he have an urgent need for power.

Cultivation is more reliable when you accumulate knowledge little by little on your own, and this set of Wisdom King Method is the only cultivation Cultivation Method Hu Mang did not intend to pass on to his cheap old man.

Although he didn't take the identity of "his adoptive father" seriously, Hu Mang couldn't help but feel a little uneasy whenever he thought about discussing how to Lust Abstinence with his "father".

What a bizarre scene!

People still need some privacy; you can't tell artificial intelligence everything.

Hu Mang pondered this set of Wisdom King Method for a while longer. With his current level of Buddhist cultivation, he could feel the profound mystery within. "Why can't you use a different type of Vidyaraja? Why do you have to practice this kind of Vidyaraja with such authority?"

At that moment, he fully understood the embarrassment of that Wei Fotuo; he was really being impulsive, stealing the wrong scriptures.

If this were a Ming King who subdued Outer Dao, Jingtu would probably have been beaten to death by the opponent long ago.

No wonder this fake monk was so interested in the Hungry Ghost Path.

Hu Mang shook his head, put the pile of Buddhist Law Artifact back in, and then took out another high-level Storage Bag.

Compared to the unorthodox monk Wei Fotuo, he had higher expectations for the proper demonic cultivator Daoist Xuanyin.

As everyone knows, those who are poor are all sword cultivators, while those who follow the demonic path are the wealthy ones.

However, this thing is sealed by Divine Sense, so it has to be honed little by little.

"Old Man Chen said that this kind of seal could be broken by grinding it down with Divine Sense for a year or two, but he probably couldn't have predicted that my Divine Sense could reach the Golden Core level in such a short time."

According to Hu Mang's unscientific and imprecise method of comparing the combat power between the two realms, the Golden Core is equivalent to a mid-range version of the Three Flowers and Five Qi.

The reason it's a mid-range configuration, rather than a low-end or high-end configuration, is mainly due to the quality of the condensed Golden Core.

If it were a top-tier National Standard Golden Core, Hu Mang pondered, aside from being unable to deduce heavenly secrets, it should be quite similar to the Three Flowers and Five Qi Great Perfection.

In other words, even though both are of the same type (Three Flowers and Five Qi), the Hu Mang would most likely wear through the Storage Bag in just a few months, not a year or two.

After confirming the arrangements for the Buddha and the Daoist priest, Hu Mang took a deep breath and took out a jade box from another Storage Bag.

He couldn't remember which Storage Bag he had found the jade box in. According to the knowledgeable Old Chen, it was made of warm jade, which has the properties of water and fire complementing each other. It should be used to store some fire-attribute medicinal materials, so that the medicinal materials would retain their medicinal properties when placed inside.

Simply put, it was a high-end food storage container. As the Hu Mang opened the container, a terrifying pressure instantly filled the small cultivation room.

Even with his Golden Core level Divine Sense, Hu Mang felt as if he were being suppressed by an invisible mountain. His back involuntarily bent slightly, and he almost couldn't withstand the pressure. His breathing became heavy, and each breath felt like he was fighting against some unseen resistance.

Without the Unity of Heaven and Man " brought about by the Thunder Net of the entire Demon-Subduing City, Hu Mang would just be an ordinary Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator. Even with his Golden Core level physical body and Golden Core level Divine Sense, he would feel unable to withstand it.

Sweat dripped from his face, running down his chin and onto the floor with a soft pattering sound. Hu Mang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and the Demon-Subduing Divine Runes between his brows slowly lit up—a crimson-gold light seeped from the depths of the mark, like a third eye slowly opening.

The moment the "Heavenly Eye" was activated, the invisible oppressive feeling seemed to be partially filtered out, and the weight on his shoulders suddenly lessened; although it was still heavy, it was no longer to the point of crushing him.

Logically speaking, with the Divine Office Burning, and the immortal and himself forcibly consuming the divine power of the Demon-Subduing City one after the other, the divine power should no longer exist.

The divine office no longer exists, and the Niwan Palace is empty, but a part of "Thunder God" seems to remain in his body in some special form, like a brand.

For example, this "Heavenly Eye".

Hu Mang breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze returning to the box, looking at the object that exuded a terrifying pressure.

That was a cactus hand.

To be precise, it's the hand of a female immortal.

Her fingers were long and slender, her skin was as white as jade, and her nails were neatly trimmed with a faint pearly sheen. The broken ends were not bloody and mangled, but rather had a jade-like texture.

The cross-section is smooth, as if it were cut off by an extremely sharp blade, and the blood was sealed before it could even flow out; through the thin, translucent jade-like surface, the internal bones and meridians can be vaguely seen, presenting a pale golden luster, like solidified amber.

The hand was preserved in an extremely good condition, with even the lines on the palm clearly visible, as if it had just been plucked from a living person; but the divine power emanating from the severed hand, which had not dissipated even after thousands of years, was still extremely terrifying.

As a participant in the entire "Battle of Immortals," Hu Mang witnessed it from beginning to end. He personally saw the demonic cultivator wield the Ghost Head Blade, and under the cover of the demonic sword, he severed the female immortal's hand with a single strike, securing the victory.

And the opponent's giant, ghost-headed sword was none other than the decapitation sword that had been missing for many years at Caishikou!

The greatsword, like the eerie demonic light emanating from the demonic sword, seemed to have some kind of restraining effect on immortals.

As for why this greatsword reappeared in the hands of a demonic cultivator after being missing for many years, Hu Mang truly had no idea.

He was also baffled by the strange evolution of the demonic cultivator's form.

That "Dao Ying" is most likely one of the Old Devil's countless shadows. In fact, when that Shadow Great Method evolved to its limit, it absorbed all the shadows of the entire city. What a bizarre technique!

Although it was only a brief encounter with that Dao Ying, Hu Mang could sense that the other party's aura and emotions were almost indistinguishable from those of a living person.

The ability to casually shape people—what kind of insane Cultivation Method is that?

The demonic path in this world, capable of contending with both the righteous path and Buddhism, is indeed unpredictable and mysterious.

However, Hu Mang suddenly thought of something interesting.

If it weren't for my unexpected intervention, how would the situation in Demon-Subduing City have developed?

Did the immortals deceive everyone, completely concealing their true nature after the fake Thunder God escaped, or did the demonic path erupt at the last moment, outmaneuvering those righteous disciples?

Did that Shadow Demon monster actually know about the existence of the Immortal? If he did, was this a scheme orchestrated by him in collaboration with the Immortal?

The Buddhist and Daoist priests were undoubtedly there to deal with the immortals, but if it weren't for him, would that young Daoist priest have noticed something amiss? Would those two old fogies have even been summoned?

No matter which direction you look at it from, Hu Mang was surprised to find that without him, those righteous disciples were more likely to suffer losses.

Even if one has their own, whether they can actually benefit from the immortal's possessions from the upper realm remains uncertain.

Anyway, he got to taste that first sip of hot soup.

Therefore, there is no such thing as the righteous path always winning; there is only the winner always winning, because the winner always has a reason.

But with her as a troublemaker, the immortal was forced to emerge, and as a result, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and everyone changed their plans and started messing with her.

This immortal has completely screwed over by his own actions.

So the question is, what should be done about this hand?
