Chapter 448: Chapter 229: Fifth Transformation
Reincarnation!
Shen Hex’s cultivation, up to now, has traversed the Martial Dynasty, Spirit Control, Taiyuan, and this Divine Dao World. If the real self is added, that’s a total of Five Worlds.
These Five Worlds, although all speak of life and death reincarnation, the only one truly confirmed is this Divine Dao World.
Shen Hex is very interested in this.
Life and death are part of the Great Dao, and reincarnation is the core of a realm. If one can understand its secrets, it would greatly benefit one’s cultivation.
Unfortunately, the cultivation is too low to see the details.
In fact, within the legacies of Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple, there are also some mysteries related to reincarnation. Otherwise, Qingping couldn’t have leveraged it previously.
But after understanding, Shen Hex discovered that even Exoteric Sects like Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple could only use reincarnation for rebirth, at most adding divine power and enhancing the root foundation. The mysteries within the womb and the true spirit’s ignorance remain out of reach.
Don’t mention Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple; even Xiao Ye, the Hidden Dragon reincarnation of a Great God, merely possesses the Celestial Mandate of the Hidden Dragon, nothing more. Unless he dies and ascends the divine altar again, it’s hard to recover memories, let alone use the original Divine Dao methods.
Thus, the power of reincarnation is evident!
To unravel this secret, Shen Hex fears he must travel a very long, long road.
But it doesn’t matter; the road isn’t feared for its length, but for its absence.
With time on his side, Shen Hex believes that persisting without respite will eventually allow him to transform the world’s mysteries into his cultivation’s foundational essence.
After observing reincarnation and looking at the outcome, the Golden Lotus floats ethereally, with divine light flickering inside, hinting at life and death intertwined.
It is the treasure of Donglian Temple, a Fourth-Grade Divine Artifact—Great Sun Golden Lotus!
Donglian Temple, with Pure Lotus Sect as its Buddhist sect, holds reincarnation, extinction, and nirvana as its doctrinal ideas, venerating Amitabha Buddha as the principal. And Amitabha Buddha is also Vairocana Buddha, the Great Sun Buddha, which is why Donglian Temple has the method of refining this Great Sun Golden Lotus.
The Great Sun Buddha embodies the principles of extinction and nirvana, involves the path of life, death, and reincarnation. It can use Great Sun Fire to destroy adversaries, heal itself, or even directly achieve Nirvana Rebirth. It is the Buddha of infinite light, infinite life, infinite wisdom, infinite law, and infinite divine power.
This Great Sun Golden Lotus, refined through this Buddhist Technique, becomes the embodiment of its principles, equivalent to an alternative Buddhist Scripture, allowing insight into mysteries and understanding of marvels.
This is its greatest value.
Knowledge is priceless, and although Shen Hex has already absorbed accumulated wisdom, he does not mind continuing to absorb and accumulate.
The sharpening stone from other mountains can polish the jade; mutual verification of various techniques greatly benefits his cultivation.
Compared to it, a Fourth-Grade Divine Artifact, a Tier Nine Treasure is inconsequential.
Teaching someone to fish is better than giving them a fish. Once mastering the fundamental technique, Shen Hex can create hundreds and thousands of artifacts.
"It’s a pity about that Five-Thunders Celestial Master’s Order."
"If this treasure hadn’t been destroyed, it would surely enhance my cultivation in the Celestial Heart Five Thunder True Method!"
Shen Hex shook his head and put away the Great Sun Golden Lotus.
Cultivation Technique, Divine Artifact, Dao Field, Spiritual Root.
The contributions from Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple are roughly like this.
And next...
Shen Hex lowered his gaze and looked at the professional panel.
Though he emerged victorious, firmly establishing himself in Jinyang Land, the situation isn’t yet secure, without worries.
On the contrary, a new crisis is brewing.
First is the aspect of the Three Religions. He wiped out Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple, which is bound to invite hostility from the Daoist Sect and Buddhist Sect.
Although the Three Religions and Hundred Schools are not a monolithic block internally, with many factions rising and even conflicts arising due to "heretical is more hateful than foreign" reasons, causing many disturbances and even deep-seated enmity—but in any case, they all bear the same sect label.
Not to mention, as progenitors, the Celestial Heart Sect behind Qingping Temple and the Pure Lotus Sect behind Donglian Temple will undoubtedly not rest.
Apart from these two, there’s also the recently enmity-driven Weishui River Dragon Monarch, as well as the Xiao Chen Court as Master of the Firmament, and one must even guard against Jinling Jinhua and Guobei Lanruo, these neighbors.
Each one isn’t easy to deal with.
They will inevitably come to trouble Shen Hex. Even if they don’t, Shen Hex will go to them; after all, he himself isn’t easy to deal with.
Conflicts are inevitable!
Yet with Shen Hex’s current methods, it’s obviously impossible to handle so many people; defending the city alone carries risks.
Hence, power must be enhanced!
For Shen Hex, enhancing power involves two ways: one is cultivation, and the other is professional advancement.
Although he gained many cultivation techniques from Qingping Temple and Donglian Temple, transforming them into combat power requires a period of study and mastery.
Thus, to resist these formidable enemies, Shen Hex must advance again to attain a stronger professional power to support himself.
