Chapter 534-1: The Spirit Coffin’s Secret Driving Method, Wondrous Dharma Freedom Bodhisattva (1) |
[You browse Foul Light Mahakasyapa Bharata Treasure Sutra…]
[The scripture records only meaningless content praising Mahakasyapa Buddha. Only when you turn to the end of the scripture do you discover a handwritten page mixed within it.]
[The ink and handwriting on the handwritten page are very new. It is estimated to have been written in the past few days.]
[…]
[For some unknown reason, Mahakasyapa Buddha’s beloved object has been lost. After the Buddha searched for it to no avail, He issued a Dharma decree: if one can find this object and return it, one may request a divine art cultivation method or secret treasury treasure from the Buddha.]
[Mahakasyapa Buddha is a personally taught disciple of Buddha Ancestor. The rewards flowing from His hands are all supreme treasures. Who could not be envious and moved?]
[That treasure is named Miaoxian Divine Soul Reincarnation Spirit Coffin. It is the coffin and spirit coffin of the Buddha’s deceased Dharma companion, Bodhisattva Miaoxian…]
[After I heard this news, I was very excited. I volunteered to meet Mahakasyapa Buddha and accepted the task of searching for the spirit coffin.]
[I guaranteed that I would definitely find the spirit coffin within three days, and asked Mahakasyapa Buddha to teach me the secret method for driving the spirit coffin.]
[The secret method for driving the spirit coffin is as follows…]
[…]
[After learning the secret method, I was ordered to search Western Pure Bliss Heaven.]
[However, for some unknown reason, Eldest Brother, Old Third, and Old Fourth all also learned of this matter, and insisted on searching for the spirit coffin together.]
[Alas, in this way, if we find this object and exchange it for the Buddha’s reward, the reward will also have to be divided into four shares…]
[What was unexpected was that after we brothers drove the secret method and searched the entire Western Pure Bliss Heaven, we actually did not sense the spirit coffin’s location.]
[The three-day deadline arrived. With no other choice, we could only report back to Mahakasyapa Buddha and clearly state that the search had borne no fruit.]
[I originally thought Mahakasyapa Buddha would definitely reprimand us, but unexpectedly, the Buddha instead advised us not to be discouraged. If the spirit coffin could not be found in Pure Bliss Heaven, we might as well try the mortal world…]
[Furthermore, He also clearly stated that as long as we found the spirit coffin, He would teach us the great divine art bestowed by Buddha Ancestor, Samadhi-Wisdom Dual Emptiness Bliss Circulation Method.]
[We were so grateful that we wept. Mahakasyapa Buddha is indeed as compassionate and merciful as the legends say.]
[But for some unknown reason, I always feel that the Buddha’s gaze toward us four brothers is somewhat strange and hard to describe…]
[After leaving the Buddha’s dojo, my heart was uneasy. Thinking over it again and again, could it be that there is some hidden mystery to that spirit coffin?]
[I faintly feel that this matter most likely has another hidden mystery, and is not as simple as merely finding a treasure…]
[…]
[The handwritten content stops abruptly here…]
[You finish browsing the Document item and have learned the secret method for driving Miaoxian Divine Soul Reincarnation Spirit Coffin!]
[You can now use Miaoxian Divine Soul Reincarnation Spirit Coffin’s true function!]
As the game text popped up with a prompt, the description text of Miaoxian Divine Soul Reincarnation Spirit Coffin in the Inventory changed.
The original item description had been: Miaoxian Divine Soul Reincarnation Spirit Coffin (Special Item): … After learning Lust Dual Emptiness Bliss Circulation Method, using this item will cause a wonderful change to occur briefly in both Shell and divine soul.
After learning the driving secret method, the current item description became…
[Miaoxian Divine Soul Reincarnation Spirit Coffin (Special Item): … When someone who has learned Lust Dual Emptiness Bliss Circulation Method enters the spirit coffin, you can perform an imprisonment operation.]
[The imprisonment duration is at minimum 300 seconds and can reach a maximum of seven sevens, forty-nine days.]
[The imprisoned person’s Shell and divine soul will temporarily transform into Desire-Obstacle-Removing Salvation Bodhisattva Miaoxian. If the imprisonment duration reaches one quarter-hour, the transformation duration can be maintained for 24 hours. And so on.]
[If the imprisoned person’s strength is lower than yours, after transforming into Bodhisattva Miaoxian, they will completely obey your commands and allow you to toy with and manipulate them.]
[If the imprisoned person’s strength is higher than yours, after transforming into Bodhisattva Miaoxian, they will dual cultivate with you once under the control of lust. Afterward, the transformation state will be removed, and they will forget all memories during the transformation period.]
“This…” The corner of Lin Xun’s mouth twitched, and his expression turned somewhat ugly.
So Lust Dual Emptiness Bliss Circulation Method was bait cast by Mahakasyapa Buddha, while Miaoxian Divine Soul Reincarnation Spirit Coffin was a remote control used to manipulate those who had learned the dual cultivation method.
Fortunately, this item had now been obtained by him. Otherwise, if he ran into this Mahakasyapa Buddha in the future, unfortunately lost, and was locked inside the spirit coffin by the enemy, then manipulated for a while with the remote control…
He could not help shuddering. Just thinking about it was a great terror.
If the Four Heavenly Honored Kings had really found the spirit coffin and returned it to Mahakasyapa Buddha in exchange for Lust Dual Emptiness Bliss Circulation Method, the four brothers’ ending might have been even more miserable than being killed by him.
That was a fourfold joined lotus. No wonder Mahakasyapa Buddha would target the four brothers.
“Good thing I helped you all achieve liberation and rebirth in advance, so you didn’t have to suffer this calamity.”
After Lin Xun fully captured Luoyi, he drove all the Extreme Evil monsters in the city to the area around the Buddha Pagoda, making the monsters worship the Buddha Pagoda and contribute their own Incense Power.
The Evil Child’s Shell level grew rapidly. In just one short day, it was already approaching the threshold of level 250.
Shell level 250 was the threshold for immortal+ grade gods. If he had farmed monsters and leveled up step by step, who knew how long it would have taken to reach such a high level.
The next stop, Bingzhou City, was the final commandery city along the eastward route before reaching the capital. Further east from the capital was Pingjin Ferry, which led to the Eastern Black Sea.
Bingzhou City belonged to Yongning Province, while Heavenly Dragon Grottoes, which produced Blue Dawn Corundum, was within Yongning Province.
This was the final material Lin Xun lacked. After collecting Blue Dawn Corundum, he would be able to build the Dragon-Gazing Altar and go to Origin Dragon Divine Palace.
The territory of Yongning Province was extremely vast, while Heavenly Dragon Grottoes was a location that was not recorded or hinted at even in Vermilion Geographical Records. Finding and gathering the final material would not be easy.
After Lin Xun and the White Elephant Demon arrived at Bingzhou City, they discovered that this place was also like Luoyi, full of ruins and desolation, with Extreme Evil monsters everywhere. The number and level of the monsters here were even greater than in Luoyi.
For him, an increase in both quantity and quality of Extreme Evil monsters was a good thing, because both increases could bring more incense malice. However, at this moment, Lin Xun was frowning deeply.
[…]
[Bingzhou City is a scene of devastation. Aside from a still intact Buddhist temple in the city, only rubble and ruins remain across the ground.]
[Countless monsters fallen into Extreme Evil wander through the city. The evil thoughts lingering in this place are extremely dense, causing some Extreme Evil monsters to undergo terrifying changes.]
[Under the nourishment of evil thoughts, the bodies of some wandering monsters have already adhered and fused together. As their limbs coil and overlap, black branches and leaves like those of trees grow out.]
[From afar, these monsters seem to have fused into twisted and strange trees.]
[The tree-shaped monster aggregates move extremely slowly. Some large trees have already completely rooted into the ground and cannot move. You can clearly sense that these twisted monsters are still continuously producing incense malice…]
[No, this evil thought power is purer and filthier than the previous incense malice. If the Incense Power contributed by Extreme Evil monsters transformed from common people is still mixed with Wish Power, desires, and thoughts…]
[Then what the aggregate monsters produce is pure evil!]
