Chapter 352: Giving up

If the Diamond Sutra is a magical practice for immortals, it is better to practice the Heart Sutra of had given him a copy of the Diamond Sutra before. He knew that the [Heart Sutra] was the Heart Sutra of Buddhism in previous lives, but unfortunately it was not passed down completely. Chen Xian closed [Dafotong] in silence and looked up at the Holy Monk Jingyuan. He wanted to see if the Holy Monk Jingyuan was fooling him, but he found that the Holy Monk Jingyuan's eyes were very pure. Chen Xian sighed secretly. The immortal skill [Dafotong] inherited by Dajue Temple was just a fragment of the [Diamond Sutra] in the previous life of Buddhism. However, that passage of scripture is indeed the essence. If you can comprehend it thoroughly, you will see the Tathagata. Who is Tathagata? He is the Buddha. Seeing the Tathagata is what you see in your heart. The Tathagata is yourself, and you are the Buddha. The text is short, but the content is profound. "It is truly a supreme scripture." Chen Xian said with a smile. The holy monk Jingyuan smiled and said, "Does Donor Chen understand the meaning of this?"

"Just a little bit." Chen Xian said lightly. Upon hearing this, the holy monk Jingyuan was slightly stunned, and then asked, "May I ask, Benefactor Chen, what does Tathagata mean?" Chen Xian was stunned by this question. If Tathagata were placed on Earth, even a three-year-old child would probably know that he was the Buddha. People in this world don’t know Tathagata’s intention? He remembered that there was a sacred practice in Dajue Temple called the Tathagata Sutra. Could it be that the monks in Dajue Temple were just practicing blindly? "Dafotong, have you seen it?" "I have seen it." "Except for Tathagata, do you understand the others?" "this……!" The holy monk Jingyuan opened his mouth. If he had really understood it, he would have reached the realm of Buddha long ago. Chen Xian smiled: "Tathagata is the Buddha." As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and returned the Great Buddha Passage to the holy monk Jingyuan, saying, "Every sentence is the essence. If you understand it, you will see the Tathagata." "Before that, you must keep your heart still." Hearing this, the old monk Jingyuan blushed slightly, "I am grateful for your guidance, Mr. Chen." "Don't dare!" Chen Xian waved his hand and walked out of the hall. Jingyuan and others saw them off. As Chen Xian walked, he said, "You have a copy of the Diamond Sutra in Dajue Temple. You can recite this Buddhist teaching at any time and obtain the supreme Dharma." Upon hearing this, Jingyuan and others were stunned. The incomplete Heart Sutra is on the stone tablet outside the temple gate and everyone can see it. They can naturally recite it, but it is difficult to practice.

Chen Xian did not visit the monk Qingyan, nor did he meet Xuanming and Xuanen. After being sent off by Jingyuan and others, he came to the outside of the temple and looked at a stone tablet. What was engraved on it was indeed the Heart Sutra, and the content was the same as what Xuanming gave him, incomplete. Chen Xian didn't care because he didn't know how to recite the Heart Sutra and didn't know much about the latter part of the sutra. However, the first part was enough for him to understand. If he could understand it thoroughly, it would be no worse than the Diamond Sutra. "So that's it, so that's it!" Chen Xian smiled and disappeared. Jingyuan and others were left standing there in a daze. So that’s what it means? Deep in the Dajue Temple, on a mountain, there is a pavilion, in which sits an old monk holding a scroll. The old monk has a kind face. "Tathagata is the Buddha. Seeing Tathagata is seeing oneself and seeing all aspects of heaven and earth!" …… After leaving Dajue Temple, Chen Xian did not delay and went directly to Zhenwu City. The Zhenwu Taoist sect is located in Zhenwu Mountain. Zhenwu Mountain is a thousand miles west of Zhenwu City. In less than half an hour, Chen Xian appeared at the foot of Zhenwu Mountain. Zhenwu Mountain towers into the clouds and is surrounded by many other peaks. With clouds and mist rising, it gives people a feeling of being in a fairyland on earth. "Stop anyone who comes." As soon as Chen Xian appeared, the disciples of Zhenwu Dao Sect stepped forward to stop him. "Chen Xian, I've come here specially to pay my respects to you." Chen Xian said calmly. When they heard that it was Chen Xian, the faces of the disciples of Zhenwu Dao Sect suddenly changed. Like the monks of Dajue Temple, they all drew their swords and looked alert. At the same time, a disciple quickly rushed into the sect to report. Not long after, the third elder Ge Bingcheng brought his men to the outside of the mountain gate and stared at Chen Xian. "Chen Xian, you really came?" Ge Bingcheng frowned. A letter came from Tianwu Sect saying that Chen Xian had fallen into the evil path, killed people like crazy, and had no humanity at all. At first, the Zhenwu Dao Sect did not believe it, but later they found out that Chen Xian had killed many people in Fengtian Realm, including tens of thousands of people from the Yu family, and thirteen powerful people in the Divine Power Realm. Ferocious reputation. "After a year, you have arrived as promised. Could it be that the Zhenwu Taoist sect also believes in the rumors?" Chen Xian stared at Ge Bingcheng. Ge Bingcheng had a blank expression on his face. "Chen Xian, you have been possessed by the devil. You are not qualified to read the Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra of my Zhenwu Taoist Sect." A delicate shout was heard, and Li Hanyue appeared with a long sword in hand. Sword symbols were spinning around him, emitting a strong sword light. Chen Xian stared at Li Hanyue: "I think you are a genius, so I won't bother with you. I just came from Dajue Temple and have read the Great Buddha Sutra. Today, I want to watch the [Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra]. If you stop me, then your Zhenwu Dao Sect is deceiving the world."

"Are you from Dajue Temple?" Li Hanyue was slightly stunned. Ge Bingcheng and others were also slightly stunned. Dajue Temple should have also received letters from Tianwu Sect, so why did they allow Chen Xian to enter the temple to view [Dafotong]? "Let him in." Li Daozhen's voice came from deep within the Zhenwu Dao Sect. Upon hearing this, Li Hanyue and Ge Bingcheng had no choice but to allow Chen Xian to enter the Zhenwu Taoist Sect. The Zhenwu Dao Sect is very large and its architecture is very grand. The Zhenwu Hall is built on the top of Zhenwu Mountain. Li Daozhen sat cross-legged in the Zhenwu Hall. "Junior Chen Xian pays homage to Sect Master Li." As soon as he landed on the square in front of the hall, Chen Xian clasped his fists and bowed. "Chen Xian, come in." Li Daozhen was wearing a black and white Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his hands clasped in his arms. He did not open his eyes until Chen Xian walked into the hall, and a smile appeared on his face. "Rumors in the martial arts world cannot be trusted." "The old sect leader is a great man, so he naturally won't believe those rumors." "Please take a seat." Li Daozhen smiled and nodded. Dajue Temple allowed Chen Xian to enter and even watch the "Great Buddha Pass", so his Zhenwu Dao Sect had no reason to refuse. It's not that he didn't give face to the Tianwu Sect, but his words were as heavy as a mountain. Since Chen Xian is not possessed by the devil, he should take out the [Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra]. Li Hanyue walked into the hall, glanced at Chen Xian, and sat opposite him. Li Daozhen glanced at Li Hanyue and took out a book from the sleeve of his loose Taoist robe. It was a blue book. "A transcript." Chen Xian nodded, walked forward to take the book, and returned to sit on the mat. "Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra." Chen Xian glanced at the cover and began to read the contents. The formula of the technique was extremely complicated, and soon Chen Xian saw words such as nourishing qi, gathering qi, refining essence into qi, true essence, Taoist charms, and formations. In particular, some of the qi-refining content was similar to his Qingshan Jue, which was a method of cultivation. Half an hour later, Chen Xian finished reading the [Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra]. The panel did not display the "Kung Fu" column, but the "Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra" (not yet entered) was displayed in the "Mental Technique" column. As for the grade of the mental method, it is not displayed. “It turns out to be a mental method.”

The skills can evolve into powerful supernatural powers, but he has not studied the mental methods yet, and it seems to be very different from the concepts of martial arts skills. Chen Xian looked at it carefully again. Since he was accepted by the panel, it meant that the Zhenwu Taoist Sect did not tamper with his mental method. As for the fact that [Dafotong] was not accepted, it was probably because the scripture was incomplete. "Can you understand?" A disdainful voice came from the other side. Chen Xian looked up at Li Hanyue, but ignored her and continued reading. Another half hour passed before Chen Xian closed the book. "The immortal skills are indeed mysterious and infinite, and have benefited Chen a lot." Chen Xian said to Li Daozhen. "Chen Xian, maybe you understand the spiritual roots?" "Spiritual roots are the qualifications for cultivating immortals. This has been mentioned before. I have seen that the cultivation concepts and exercise routes mentioned above are different from the martial arts techniques, and are closer to the Taoist theory of cultivating immortals and refining qi." Chen Xian said lightly. "Taoism cultivates immortality and refines Qi?" Li Daozhen's eyes lit up: "You mean, this method of cultivating immortality and refining Qi is not a martial arts method?" "I am just guessing. After all, I have never seen any method of cultivating immortals and refining Qi, so I don't really understand it. Senior has studied it for so many years, so he should have gained something." Chen Xian said with a slight twinkle in his eyes. Of course he knew there was a world of immortal cultivation, where low-level martial arts became high-level martial arts, there were historical gaps, and some Taoist cultivation methods were lost. The path taken by the Zhenwu Taoist Sect is a combination of Taoism and martial arts. It can't be said to be purely Taoist, nor can it be said to be purely martial arts. It involves both. It is also possible that Li Xiuyang did not thoroughly study the "Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra" at that time. After all, the founder of the Zhenwu Taoist Sect was a warrior. Li Xiuyang just realized a different path from the "Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra", which led to the Zhenwu Taoist Sect becoming one of the three major sects in the world. "I have studied this technique for at least a thousand years. I have long discovered that its practice is completely different from martial arts practice, but there are some similarities, so I can't figure it out." "Over the years, I have tried three methods of cultivation and found that they are not contradictory, but the progress is very slow." "I still haven't figured it out yet. Perhaps it's because of my limited talent. If you can study it thoroughly, don't forget to give me some pointers." Chen Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and it was just as he had guessed. The three major sects held a martial arts conference and let the genius who won the first place watch three immortal-level martial arts techniques. They had a purpose, which was to use the talents of the martial arts geniuses to study those techniques. As for why the last martial arts conference used a sacred technique, it is actually not difficult to understand. The talents of those martial arts geniuses in the previous martial arts conference did not meet the requirements, so they only used their sacred techniques. "I dare not give you any advice. If I have any realization, I will come to Zhenwu Dao Sect to discuss with you." Chen Xian said calmly. Li Daozhen smiled and nodded: "Only you are allowed to know the content of the technique, and you are not allowed to tell others." "Don't worry, senior. I still understand the rules." Chen Xian said, then bowed and turned to leave. Li Hanyue stood up and walked to the door of the hall, staring at Chen Xian's back. It was not until Chen Xian disappeared that she turned back to look at Li Daozhen and asked, "Ancestor, can he do it?" "Let's give it a try." Li Daozhen said lightly.

We can only try it to see if it works. In this martial arts conference, Chen Xian's talent is beyond belief. Originally, Li Hanyue didn't understand it, and he placed his hopes on Ji Yang from the Tianwu Sect. However, Ji Yang didn't win first place either. Only Chen Xian can comprehend the [Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra]. …… Leave Zhenwu Mountain. A smile appeared on Chen Xian's lips, he seemed to understand a little bit now. The so-called mental method should be the mental method of cultivating immortals. The Black Turtle Secret Scroll, the Green Mountain Secret, and the Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra are all methods for cultivating immortals. It’s just that there is a gap in the cultivation method. The predecessors started from the low-level martial arts, and could not fully understand the true meaning of the cultivation method. In the process of research, they combined their martial arts experience, and thus went astray. This is also why the two fire beasts said that Lu Fengtian had taken the wrong path when they first entered the Immortal Tomb. Plus, Hei Lian said the same thing last time. Chen Xian couldn't understand it at the time, but now he thinks that this should be what it means. It was already evening when we returned to Fengtian City. Zhan Yu and Cai Lin and his sister had already returned to the Marquis' Mansion. When Ning Shiqi saw Chen Xian coming back, he hurried towards the main hall. "Have you been to Dajue Temple or Zhenwu Dao Sect?" "I've been there." "Have you seen all the immortal skills?" "I saw it." Chen Xian smiled and nodded. Ning Shiqi's eyes brightened up. She knew that now was not the right time to ask about the contents of the immortal technique. "I will go with you that day, Wu Zong." "Not going!" Chen Xian shook his head. Dafotong is an incomplete Buddhist scripture, and it is related to the Diamond Sutra from the previous life. It can be practiced or not. The [Zhenwu Xuanling Sutra] is not a technique for cultivating immortals, but a method for cultivating immortals. Tianwu Sect's [Tianwu Sutra] must also be a method of cultivating immortals. If that's the case, there's no need to read it. Besides, Lu Fengtian had taken the wrong path. Even if he had read the [Tianwu Sutra], he would probably have to follow Lu Fengtian's path and travel the whole way. Chen Xian felt that it was unnecessary. He would now focus on [Ba Tian Divine Art] to improve his cultivation level first, and then gain more experience and start practicing his mental skills.

Perhaps in the process of improving his realm, he will gain some insights into cultivation. By then, you will be able to master all the skills you practice. Now his cultivation relied entirely on the accumulation of experience, which consumed too much experience and he could not afford it. Since the immortal-grade techniques are for cultivating the mind, the fact that the three major sects are willing to take them out for people to study shows that they have not studied them thoroughly, and naturally cannot be cultivated. The skills practiced by Ji Changfeng, Li Daozhen and others are nothing more than holy martial arts. Their only strength lies in the use of the power of rules, which is the improvement of their realm. If you think about it clearly, the mystery of the three major sects does not exist in Chen Xian's mind. He felt that Ji Changfeng, Li Daozhen and other Martial Emperors were no more powerful than him. When he reaches the realm of breaking through the air, he will naturally be able to crush everyone. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether you read the Tianwu Sect’s [Tianwu Sutra] or not. Maybe the Tianwu Sect was waiting for him to come, and then make things difficult for him, forcing him to become a demon. Ji Changfeng would then use the name of killing the demon to eliminate him. Of course Chen Xian would not give Tianwu Sect this opportunity. He first went to Dajue Temple and Zhenwu Taoist Sect, just to see if Tianwu Sect was secretly targeting him. Since they were already targeting him, going to Tianwu Sect would definitely be dangerous. "Why not?" Ning Shiqi frowned, that was an immortal skill, rarely seen by the world. Now that she had this opportunity, she had to take a look, even if she couldn't understand it. "Let me ask you, if there is no immortal-grade martial arts in this world, which martial arts is the most powerful?" "Of course it's a holy item." Ning Shiqi rolled her eyes at Chen Xian. Suddenly, her expression froze and she stared at Chen Xian: "Are you saying that those three immortal skills are fake?" Chen Xian smiled: "Almost. You can treat them as fake." Ning Shiqi was speechless: "How could an immortal-grade technique be fake? If it were fake, how could Immortal Lu become an immortal?" Chen Xian said: "Is it that Immortal Lu can become an 'immortal' by practicing the Tianwu Sutra? Or has he really become an immortal?" (End of this chapter)
