Buddhist Abomination

Dragon Sloughing is a high-level evolution of the Dragon Vein, and for some, it is even the ultimate goal.

The Dragon Vein itself is an existence that lies between life Fortune; it is the core where the Spirit Vein of heaven and earth and the torrent of human affairs converge.

It is neither a physical body nor a pure accumulation of Fortune, but a unique existence formed after the two have blended, settled, and sublimated over a long period of time.

It is like an invisible river, bearing witness to the rise and fall of dynasties and the changes of the world.

In short, birth, aging, sickness, death, demons, and monsters cannot affect it.

Therefore, a hypothesis emerged: if one could merge with the Dragon Vein in a short period of time, and then detach from the Dragon Vein before losing consciousness and enter a new body, could one completely get rid of all the aging, disease, and spiritual decay of the original body and be reborn?

Even by repeating the above operations, one can achieve immortality!

This was also the ultimate pursuit of ancient alchemists.

At least for Liu Wuniang, it was the ultimate goal.

Merging with the Dragon Vein itself does not bring immortality, but returning to youth through the Dragon Vein means unlimited reincarnation. If one's cultivation is insufficient in this life, one can start again in the next life; if the next life is not enough, one can continue in the life after that.

Until one cultivates to become an immortal.

The most wonderful thing is that the Dragon Vein itself is a turbulent river flowing with human karma. The karma, grudges, and karmic entanglements of the previous life will be washed away as long as you enter it. In this way, if you are successfully reincarnated, you can live a clean and innocent life.

There were no side effects whatsoever; it was absolutely perfect.

It was precisely because the theory was so perfect that ancient alchemists followed one after another, constantly innovating in this field.

Although Liu Wuniang is a snake spirit, she is definitely an expert in the study of "ancient dragon Dragon Vein".

According to her view, the study of Dragon Vein, regardless of the direction of the research, will ultimately boil down to two questions: how to enter Dragon Vein and how to leave Dragon Vein.

Expanding on the previous question, it should be called "How to enter Dragon Vein while retaining self-awareness."

As a torrent of humanity, any life that enters the Dragon Vein will have its self-awareness washed away by the torrent of humanity, no matter how high its cultivation level.

This applies to both the main Dragon Vein and its Dragon Vein.

Ancient alchemists proved this point with various tragic experiences. Even Liu Wuniang, who didn't believe in such superstitions, tried it herself, resulting in the loss of thirty years of her lifespan. And this was only the consequence of the initial contact with consciousness.

If it weren't for her progress in the study of Dragon Vein, she would have been killed in that one blow.

Later, she abandoned this research direction, switched to another field, and achieved remarkable results.

This direction is "raising Private Dragon".

Since the dragon Dragon Vein of heaven and earth are the torrent of humanity, it's not appropriate to easily enter them. So why not raise a small one that can bear its own consciousness?

This is why "raising Private Dragon" was so prevalent at the Old Heavenly Gate, because it was the legitimate gateway to immortality.

Getting into the Dragon Vein is done; now the only problem is "how to get out of the Dragon Vein."

This is what is known as "Dragon Sloughing".

While there are various theories and experiences from predecessors when entering Dragon Vein, there are few such experiences when leaving Dragon Vein.

Liu Wuniang was quite troubled by this point in her study of the notes, since very few people were able to enter successfully, let alone leave.

However, it seems that this technical difficulty has been overcome by that group of "Celestial Person".

According to ancient methods of raising dragons, the Dragon Vein is merely a filter.

But according to the cyber dragon-raising method, those remnants of the old era seem to have actually developed a way to merge humans and dragons.

Since there is a unique combination of human and dragon, there must also be a unique separation of personal connections.

At the core of the Nascent Soul's aura, a figure was undergoing a dramatic transformation.

In the divine light, the two rosy blushes on Immortal Woman He's cheeks began to tremble slightly, as if they were about to peel off her skin.

She gritted her teeth, and with a sudden tug, the human skin was ripped off while she was still alive.

Apart from the human skin, only a blurry human outline remained, and the surface of this outline was crawling with all sorts of strange insects, the shapes of which resembled human eyes, noses, teeth, fingers, and in short, various parts of a human body.

The human skin she tore off began to rapidly absorb the Evil God power of the "Black God of Wealth," and then grew into another "Immortal Woman He."

As agreed, this "Immortal Woman He" directly harnessed the Evil God power of the "Black God of Wealth" to begin searching for the Hu Mang.

As for the other Immortal Woman He, she was eventually melted into corpse water as the insects continued to burrow into her body and fell into the sea. Judging from the direction she was chasing, it was actually the direction of Zhao Longbo.

Only Hu Mang, who possesses the Divine Sense of Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator and has extensive experience in raising Private Dragon, can perceive even the slightest fluctuation in this "Dragon Sloughing" process.

To outsiders, "Immortal Woman He" is Immortal Woman He, with no difference whatsoever.

"Internal strife within the Wanshun Sea Hall?"

Having discovered this, Hu Mang was even less in a hurry to leave.

In a short while, Buddha Woman descended from the sky, bathed in a radiant light, and landed opposite the Hu Mang. She stepped barefoot into the mud, yet remained untouched by any dust.

A monk, no, a nun, at the Nascent Soul stage.

This is indeed a novel combination.

Hu Mang was very interested in the other party's current state.

"Have you ever entered the Saha Continent and studied Buddhist teachings?"

Although it was a question, the Buddha Woman spoke with considerable certainty.

Hu Mang retorted, "You've been inside too?"

"Since you have entered the Saha Continent, why were you not tainted by karma? What means do you have to eliminate karma?"

The Buddha Woman's tone unconsciously became urgent.

The idea that one must accumulate karma upon entering the Saha Continent was something Hu Mang had never heard before.

So you went in, and you got contaminated?

Before Hu Mang could even get any information out of her, the Buddha Woman was already extremely impatient.

"Fine, once I catch you, I'll naturally find out your secrets."

The next moment, the Buddha Woman's body suddenly burst forth with Buddha light. Wherever the Buddha light passed, the trees, vines, swamps, and decaying leaves in the rainforest were all dyed with a layer of golden radiance. The Buddha light wriggled, condensed, and intertwined like a living thing, slowly evolving into a Buddha temple that covered the entire rainforest.

If Chen Xiaosan were here, he would surely be surprised; isn't this an upgraded version of the temple's Divine Ability?

The former only covered a few dozen feet, while the latter covered more than a few dozen miles.

Such area-of-effect Divine Ability are extremely rare, not only in the Azure Mysterious Realm but also on Earth Star.

The Buddhist temple is not a physical entity, but rather a phantom formed by the condensation of Buddha's light, yet it carries a sense of oppression that is even heavier than that of a physical entity.

The beams, pillars, walls, and tiles of the Buddhist temple are all covered with golden Sanskrit characters, which seem to writhe like living things.

In the center of the Buddhist temple, a huge Buddha statue slowly emerged, its face compassionate, but its eyes glowing with an eerie dark red light.

As the temple gates swung open, a terrifying suction force emanated, causing the entire rainforest to rumble and the earth to tremble violently, as if something was awakening deep underground.

The peat bogs erupted with waves of mud tens of meters high, shooting up like fountains and then falling back down, enveloping the entire rainforest in a muddy rain.

"You're destroying the natural environment for spiritual practice!"

The Hu Mang flung the two struggling figures backward, and in a flash, the snake's shadow disappeared into the swamp mist.

"How dare you try to fight me with Buddhism, especially with the Emptiness Realm Buddhist Dharma? You're overestimating yourself!"

Facing the enormous opening and terrifying suction force, the Hu Mang neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, it formed the Vajra Instruction with its hands, and its figure vanished instantly between reality and illusion.

His body transformed into a faint Buddhist light, existing both within and beyond the rainforest.

The terrifying suction force emanating from the temple gate was like countless invisible hands trying to drag him into that bottomless darkness, but those hands passed right through him as if grasping at thin air, leaving him empty-handed.

His figure was slightly distorted under the light of the Buddha, like a reflection in water, and no matter how strong the suction was, it could not shake him in the slightest.

The Buddha Woman's expression changed upon seeing this.

How did he do that?!

In her perception, the other party's Buddhist Law Power was clearly far lower than her own.

Hu Mang looked up and grinned.

Then he suddenly began reciting Buddhist verses, asking and answering his own questions.

With each question and answer, the evolution of Buddhist teachings deepened, the ethereal Buddhist light emanating from his body shone even brighter, and his figure became completely detached from existence and non-existence, reality and illusion.

What are you doing here?

"Entering a meditative state."

"You say you enter samadhi, but is it with intention or without intention? If it's without intention, then grass, trees, tiles, and stones should all be affected; if it's with intention, then all sentient beings should also be affected."

"When I entered into meditation, I did not perceive the existence or non-existence of anything."

"The mind that does not perceive existence or non-existence is constant stillness; how can there be coming or going? If there is coming or going, then it is not true stillness."

"If your mind is like empty space, without clinging to the view of emptiness, its application will be unimpeded, movement and stillness will be without intention, worldly and holy emotions will be forgotten, subject and object will both be extinguished, and nature and form will be as they are, without any impermanence."

"You don't even understand Buddhist principles, so what's the use of having strong Buddhist power?"

Hu Mang muttered a complaint, then slammed the Vajra Seal in his hand directly onto the gate of the Buddhist temple.

The door slammed shut, and the Buddha Woman coughed up a mouthful of blood, which gushed from her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

Clearly, the backlash from Buddhism was extremely severe for her.

But Hu Mang wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He formed hand seals and unleashed the "Five Sacred Mountains Bearing Gang Method." The ground beneath his feet began to tremble violently. His opponent had just reversed the earth's energy in the rainforest, which was perfect for him to use to perform his actions. As a result, one illusory mountain after another emerged from the earth's energy and descended from the sky.

As the first mountain shadow fell, the Buddha Woman shattered like paper, and her body was smashed into the mud.

The shadow of the second mountain fell, smashing a deep pit into the swamp, from which the Buddha Woman's screams echoed.

By the time they reached the third hilltop, the other side had been smashed into a pile of mud.

"Done. As expected, with Buddhism, each higher level is like entering a whole new world."

However, the next moment, the mud began to writhe violently, the flesh and blood churning like boiling lava, and eyeballs, hands and feet visibly grew out, a small human figure squeezing out from it, even the hair was squeezed out of the flesh and blood.

The Buddha Woman's voice emanated from the humanoid figure, carrying a twisted and insane shrill laugh:

"You truly haven't entered the Saha Continent, otherwise you should know that Buddhist Abomination tainted by karma are immortal!"

The small human figure slowly stood up, its body covered in sticky blood and flesh, yet it exuded an eerie and solemn aura, like a Buddha crawling out of hell.
