Vajra Pure Bodhicitta

"The stepmother squad of the Huang Jiayou is really... formidable."

Hu Mang wanted to use some elegant words to express his current feelings, but he didn't expect it.

But he couldn't say it directly: Huang Jiayou's stepmother was really something else.

That's really inappropriate.

At this moment, the Hu Mang's body was burning hot as if it had a high fever. Its skin was flushed with an abnormal redness, and the sweat that had just seeped out was evaporated by its body temperature, turning into wisps of white mist that rose from its body.

His Divine Sense was equally scattered; the desires and distracting thoughts that had been aroused were like countless tangled threads, weaving back and forth in his consciousness, impossible to unravel.

The fire in my heart began to burn along my limbs and bones, spreading from my chest to my shoulders, from my shoulders to my arms, from my arms to my fingertips, and then down from my chest to my abdomen, thighs, calves, until I could feel the burning restlessness in my toes.

But Hu Mang's eyes, which radiated a demonic light, remained as cold as ice.

The State of Mind of "Three Yin Flowers" could not be affected by mere internal fire.

Suppressing inner turmoil is quite simple; several of the Nine-Character Great Hand Seal are used to subdue demons and quell inner turmoil.

But what the Hu Mang wanted was the burning heat in its heart.

Without the stimulation of inner fire, how could he awaken the "Unraveled Rope Devil Meridian" and comprehend the "Yugi Sutra"?

"Should we use Buddha to sway Mara first, or use Mara to transform Buddha?"

"Let's try to force out that Kidney Absolute Devil Meridian first."

A pulse that is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, scattered and disordered, like untying a tangled rope, indicates kidney failure— the Unraveled Rope Meridian.

With a thought, the enormous medicinal power stored in the "Cauldron-Boiling Devil Meridian" was instantly extracted by the Hu Mang.

At the same time, the Hu Mang began to search for the hidden demonic evolution in the direction of the "kidney" within its body.

However, even with the combined effects of the Heart Fire and the Bone-Molding Pill, the Divine Sense still could not find it.

On the contrary, a hidden demonic bloodline evolved in the area around his heart.

The pulse is faint and elusive, swaying like a fish swimming, indicating impending heart failure— the Soaring Fish Meridian.

"Holy crap, these Seven Absolutes Devil Meridians aren't activated sequentially according to the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, are they?"

"Doesn't that make it more difficult?"

Hu Mang frowned, and with a thought, his inner fire scorched the demonic medicinal power, causing illusory flames to blaze fiercely on the surface of his body.

The next moment, the Buddha-Devil Transformation began, and the immense inner fire began to drive the text of the Yugi Sutra in reverse, forcefully invoking Wisdom King Aizen.

A faint, ethereal light emanated from the Hu Mang's body, seemingly related to calming the mind, subduing desires, and warding off misfortune, but it felt slightly lacking.

To enter the path of the Yugi Sutra, or rather, to condense the "image of the Vidyaraja," one must first condense the Vajra Pure Bodhicitta.

This "mind" is not the physical heart, but rather a Buddhist State of Mind similar to the Mysterious Yin Devil Moon and the Three Yin Flowers.

But there's no sign of it solidifying at all.

"Neither Buddha nor demon will work, wouldn't that be like being stuck in two directions instead of being single-minded?"

"Or is the stimulation not intense enough?"

Hu Mang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and the Heavenly Devil Field silently unfolded.

The Heavenly Devil Field is like an invisible painter, adding layer upon layer of new colors and light and shadow around these stepmothers.

The originally hazy moonlight became clear as water, pouring down from the night sky and spreading out a silvery-white pool of light in the courtyard; as the figures of those humanoid demons danced in the pool of light, ripples spread out beneath their feet, as if they were not dancing on land, but walking on water.

The first to change was the lead dancer, the stepmother. The Heavenly Devil Field captured the serpentine suppleness in her dance, amplifying and elevating it. As her arms swung, her fingertips scattered strings of tiny light points, which dispersed in the air, transforming into translucent silver flowers that drifted slowly down, only to shatter into even smaller points before touching the ground, like petals breaking apart in the wind.

The other stepmothers also went to the Heavenly Devil Field for their respective "blessings".

And the faces of the dancers, under the blessing of the Heavenly Devil Field, began to become clearer. The stepmother who led the dance had a touch of serpentine coldness and danger between her brows; the fox-like woman had a touch of cunning and seductiveness in her eyes; the weasel-like woman had a touch of mischief and provocation in her smile. Each of them became more like herself, and less like a human.

At the same time, their figures overlapped and became densely packed, and the number of light spots, like "celestial maidens scattering flowers," increased.

The Huang Jiayou Demon, who witnessed this scene on the camera, was stunned.

Because several of the stepmothers' Yao Qi directly exceeded the limit, they immediately began to condense Demon Core.

"Really? Dual cultivation is that effective? You've already formed your core? My old man couldn't do it in decades, and you did it in a day?"

As more and more "Core Formation Demon Cultivator" appeared, the fire in Hu Mang's heart burned brighter and brighter, and the effect of the transformation between Buddha and Demon became better. With each transformation, a trace of the fire in his heart was transformed into pure Buddha-nature, sinking into the depths of his heart, like drops of sweet dew falling on parched land.

Finally, the Yugi Sutra was comprehended first, and Buddha's light overflowed from his body. The Hu Mang began to condense the Vajra Pure Bodhicitta.

"This obstacle arises from the beginningless ignorance of all sentient beings, and is called the innate obstacle, the obstacle of self-attachment; the essence of this obstacle is Vajrasattva, and all defilements and desires are the pure Bodhicitta!"

At the Hu Mang's heart, the burning fire that had been burning inside began to contract inward, no longer spreading to its limbs and bones, but instead, as if drawn by some kind of gravity, all converging towards its heart.

As the flame of that heart contracted, it grew brighter and brighter, and at the center of that light, a special "Buddha's heart" was taking shape.

At the same time, the three essential techniques that had been cultivated— Pure Body, Body-Protecting Buddha Light, and Immaculate Body —all began to melt away. Like candles ignited by the fire of the heart, they transformed from solid to liquid, turning into three streams of light of different colors. These streams rose from various parts of the Hu Mang's body and then, like three rivers flowing into the sea, entered his heart and merged into the Buddha heart that was condensing.

After the Buddha's heart was formed, it began to beat slowly in the Hu Mang's chest cavity.

The heartbeat was out of sync with his heart, which beat more than seventy times per minute, while the Buddha's heart beat much slower, about once every ten breaths. But each beat carried a steady and profound rhythm, like an ancient bell tolling in a temple, echoing endlessly in his chest.

With each beat of that Buddha-like heart, a cool energy flowed from his heart throughout his body, soothing the places scorched by the fire of his heart.

The Hu Mang opened its eyes, the demonic light in them had faded, replaced by a deep and serene golden glow.

With a thought, a wrathful, crimson, and majestic Vidyaraja appeared from behind.

This wrathful deity is entirely crimson, with one head, three faces, and six arms. Each face bears a different expression of wrath; some have wide-open eyes, some have bared fangs, and some have furrowed brows. Each of the six arms wields Law Artifact: a bow, arrow, sword, wheel, pestle, and bell. Each Law Artifact is wreathed in crimson flames, which slowly burn in the void.

It is the wrathful manifestation of Wisdom King Aizen, Vajrasattva.

Hu Mang suddenly understood.

"It turns out that after overcoming the three poisons, the next major realm for a Buddha in the Form Realm is the 'Practice and Vow Realm,' where the stronger the vows, the stronger the incarnation."

"Then what grand vow should I make? That all men in the world become impotent?"

"That's too cruel, let's forget about it."

The moment this thought Wisdom King Aizen, who was behind him, vanished without a trace.

However, with the Vajra Pure Bodhicitta, the Hu Mang can summon it at any time if it wants.

"Now that we've cultivated the Bodhi Heart, let's make another strong push into the demonic path and see if we can force out the 'Unraveled Rope Devil Meridian'."

He activated his Vajra Pure Bodhicitta, drawing out a wisp of pure Buddha-nature golden light, which mixed with the medicinal power. The advantages of cultivating both Buddha and demon were then manifested.

Buddha-nature is like a probe, and Demonic Qi is like dye. When the two are combined, even the most deeply hidden demonic evolutions will have nowhere to hide.

The medicinal power, a mixture of Buddhist and Demonic Qi, flowed slowly through his lower body, like a warm tide, washing over every meridian, every acupoint, and every bone. The Hu Mang waited patiently, without haste or impatience, letting the medicinal power find the hidden demonic vein on its own.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he finally felt it. Behind his left kidney, near his spine, there was an extremely fine indentation, like the entrance to some kind of passage covered by a thin layer of fascia.

As the medicinal power flowed through that spot, it encountered a very slight resistance, like water encountering a whirlpool. The Hu Mang immediately concentrated all the remaining medicinal power into that spot, even rekindling its inner fire and pouring it into it.

The demonic acupoint has finally been opened!

The next moment, endless energy poured into his body. This "Kidney Absolute Devil Meridian" was indeed replenishing the essence of his physical body, and at a terrifying level!

It took Hu Mang Huang Household days to stabilize both the Buddhist and demonic realms at this level.

Of course, Huang Jiayou had no objections at all, and even wished that Hu Mang could stay a few more days and have "dual cultivation" with his stepmothers a few more times.

Because after Hu Mang simulated the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers in the Heavenly Devil Field, several of his stepmothers did indeed break through on the spot and condense their Demon Core.

Only then did Hu Mang realize that because demons are ignorant, they do not need to incorporate Golden Nature to form their core; a little spiritual energy is enough.

The Heavenly Devil Field perfectly fulfills this requirement.

This resulted in the stepmother of the Huang Jiayou knocking on the door every night during the Hu Mang's seclusion for recuperation.

Fortunately, Hu Mang still had some integrity; otherwise, the Huang Household would probably not have had eight generations of only sons.

Grandpa Huang bought him candy, but he cheated on Grandpa Huang with a cuckold's horns; it's still not a good thing.

So after finishing his meditation, Hu Mang left immediately, much to the disappointment of Huang Jiayou and his bunch of stepmothers.

After returning to Zhongshan Holy Land, Hu Mang didn't delay. He immediately booked a boat ticket to Ancient Java Island. After receiving Gu Yunshu's new edition of the Golden Nature Diary, he set off by boat. Even when he went to the "Mystic Shield Sect" to sign documents, he had his mother sign on his behalf.

That's right, the out-of-court settlement between the Mystic Shield Sect and the Divine Sense Group has finally been achieved.
