Chapter 6 Wisdom and Omniscience
Strands of light, invisible to outsiders, were inhaled by Yuan Qingsu, resonating with the "Gate of Human Treasures" beneath the "Gate of Ten Thousand Gates" deep within his four-dimensional space.
The dim light condensed a vast and mysterious temple, a continuous stretch of golden buildings, solemn and sacred like a heavenly palace in mythology. The plaque above the gate read "Da Leiyin Temple", and a compassionate Buddha sat in the deepest part, his eyes filled with divine light, illuminating all beings in the three realms and six paths.
One after another, Arhats and Bodhisattvas surrounded him.
It fully embodies the idea of being the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and earth.
Similar scenes are condensed within beams of light, weaving together a chapter of Buddhist history. As they merge with the magnificent golden-red gate to the human body, a hazy portal is outlined.
This "door" carries the meaning of annihilation and purity, has a pure and flawless luster, and has mysterious and complex patterns like brain grooves. It seems to have exhausted the mysteries of a primordial universe, ancient and vicissitudes, standing above all the heavens.
It is extremely amazing, requiring a massive amount of Taoist essence.
Kevin's wooden fish, Liu Yiyi's Buddhist prayer beads, copper bell, alms bowl, and even the vast Daoist energy extracted from the Vajra pestle, none of them could truly allow this "door" to fully emerge; it always seemed to be just one step away!
"Interesting, even with all these vessels left behind by Arhats and Bodhisattvas, it's still not enough to fill the void..."
Yuan Qingsu smiled slightly, handed the Vajra pestle back to Ye Fan, and then calmly took a bronze lamp and a Bodhi seed from him.
The dull, gray Bodhi seed resembled a clod of earth, devoid of any luster. Yet, when he held it in his hand, he could feel the vast and surging Daoist essence within it. It was the sediment that had settled after being washed away by the long river of time, witnessing countless ages, and possessing an even greater degree of completeness than the Nine Wonders Immortal Elixir.
It is the transformation of the fallen Immortal Monk King, the most orthodox elixir of immortality in Buddhism.
Ye Fan, a boy of thirteen or fourteen, watched silently as Yuan Qingsu examined and played with the Bodhi Seed. Although he didn't know what the other party was doing, he guessed that the Bodhi Seed must be very extraordinary, far more powerful than he had imagined, to make this "immortal" care so much.
Therefore, he was prepared for the Bodhi seeds to be taken away.
But the thought was quickly abruptly stopped when a slender, fair hand handed the seed back to him. Yuan Qingsu looked at him and instructed, "This is a good item. Remember to keep it safe."
As he spoke, the vast glimmer of light intertwined with the treasure gate, completely bringing the hazy, indistinct derivative gate into this world.
[The Gate to the Human Body's Treasure Trove - Third Derivative Gate - Gate of Wisdom - "The Way of Self" (Unlocked), with a total of nine stages. After the ninth stage, wisdom leads to supernatural powers, supernatural powers forge destiny, and destiny gives rise to omniscience.]
[Materials for Stage One: Immortal Elixir Bodhi Seed or chew one tablet of Immortal Elixir, 100 ml of Life Spring, and one scroll of Daoist scriptures.]
[First Stage Ritual: Gain a preliminary understanding of the Taoist scriptures, wear the immortal elixir Bodhi seed, or chew a Bodhi leaf, invoke the Gate of Ten Thousand Gates, drink from the Spring of Life, and stand within the long river of history to experience the intersection of personal destiny and the grand scheme of things (Note: The more powerful the scriptures and the deeper the understanding, the stronger the effect).]
[Effects: Self-awareness, listening to the Tao, discerning cause and effect, drawing closer to scriptures and the Tao, and occasionally glimpsing a corner of the future.]
Almost simultaneously with this door, another door appeared.
[The Gate to the Human Body's Treasure Trove - Fourth Derivative Gate - Gate of Death - "Ferryman" (Unlocked), with a total of nine tiers. After the ninth tier, all things return to nothingness, and the universe ends.]
This Gate of Death was forged from the Daoist essence of the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, which had settled within the bronze lamp. It was extremely special, faintly possessing a unique aura, as if it were a concrete manifestation of the inevitable fate of the universe's destruction.
[First Stage Ritual: Under the call of the Gate of Ten Thousand Gates, harvest ten beings at the Sea of Wheels Realm in battle, or beings whose quality is equivalent to ten lives. The stronger the essence of life, the better the ritual effect.]
[Secret Remedy Ingredients: One "Divine Consciousness Fruit," a branch of the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine; or one "Netherworld Grass" from the Yellow Springs Riverbank of Immortal Mountain.]
[First-stage ritual effect: Ferrying away the soul, targeting the primordial spirit.]
Yuan Qingsu carefully read the ritual requirements fed back by the Gate of Ten Thousand Gates, her expression slightly changing. This time, the gains were truly immense.
"The Gate of 840 Million Particles - Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force" provides endless power.
"The Gate of Longevity: Nine Wonders and Nine Transformations on the Immortal Path in the Mortal World" provides endless lifespan.
"Wisdom Gate: The Way of Me" provides omniscient wisdom.
"Death Gate - Ferry" brings the power to destroy everything and bring an end to everything.
For Yuan Qingsu, the four gates of power, lifespan, wisdom, and authority are more useful and easier to obtain than any secret techniques or imperial scriptures.
When they all come together, they form an invincible path!
Normally, each of these doors requires a massive amount of Dao essence to open. Besides the elixir of immortality and the items left behind by the Great Emperor, what else could provide such abundant Dao essence?
It's simply impossible to open several doors in a single day.
And that is the benefit of foresight.
By mastering the original trajectory, Yuan Qingsu found the right person at the right time and gained huge benefits.
There probably won't be such an opportunity for a long time to come.
Of the several "doors" that have been derived from this, apart from the first door, the door of 840 million particles, the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, the easiest to open now are the Death Door and the first stage of the Wisdom Door.
He has three Divine Consciousness Fruits, one of the Nine Wonders, and he can spare one now to open the first stage of the Death Gate.
He may not have Bodhi leaves, but he can borrow Bodhi seeds from Ye Fan. As for establishing himself in the long river of history, it seems the most incredible thing, but in fact it is the easiest. He can do it as long as he enters the unlocked gates of the myriad heavens and times and successfully opens the gate of wisdom.
At the same time, Ye Fan carefully put away the Bodhi seed and the bronze lamp, and pleaded, "Immortal Master, we are trapped here. Our mortal bodies may be in danger if we travel through these mountains. Could you please send us out?"
"That's natural."
Yuan Qingsu nodded and said, "After this incident, you have all awakened your 'Sea of Bitterness.' If you still wish to return to your homeland, you must embark on the path of cultivation. I will grant you all permission to enter the Spirit Ruins Grotto-Heaven for cultivation..."
"How can a small place like Lingxu Cave Heaven be worthy of such talented people? Why not send them to my Qixia Sect? They can even enter the Yin-Yang Sect in Zhongzhou in the future, with a truly limitless future." A slightly arrogant voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
The wind howled through the mountains. Yuan Qingsu and Weiwei looked in the direction of the sound and saw more than a dozen streaks of rainbow light approaching from afar. In just a few breaths, they landed one after another in the wild grass beside them.
The intense rainbow light clustered together pulsed, and a powerful aura radiated outwards from them in waves, flamboyant and unrestrained, causing the wild grass to sway and bow, and the clothes on everyone's bodies to flutter in the wind.
After the light faded, a handsome young man walked forward first.
He was seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome, with his shiny black hair casually tied back. He wore a wide robe, the sleeves fluttering, and his every move was graceful and unrestrained. His brows also exuded a sense of confidence and wildness.
He certainly had the right to be wild and unrestrained.
Yuan Qingsu could sense the fluctuations of the Dao Palace Secret Realm from him. In terms of cultivation, he was at the second level of the Dao Palace, while this young man was already at the fifth level, and his Dao Palace Secret Realm was almost perfected, hovering on the edge of the third secret realm.
No less than the holy sons of some holy sites.
Such a dragon could not be raised in the shallow waters of Qixia Sect. This young man should come from Yin Yang Sect in Zhongzhou, a major force that ranks among the top of the Hundred Schools of Thought.
After making a preliminary assessment of their identities, Yuan Qingsu remained calm and cupped his hands, saying, "Fellow Daoist, I come from the [Yaoguang Holy Land]. These people will also be disciples of the Holy Land in the future..."
Whether they become members of the Holy Land in the future is not up to you to decide.
The young man from Qixia Sect interrupted him without any politeness, his eyes sweeping across the entire room like lightning. He lingered on Weiwei for a moment before landing on Yuan Qingsu, a slight smile playing on his lips. He said, "Besides, I'm not blind. I know you're a... menial servant from the Holy Land."
The guides from the Yao Guang Holy Land to its various affiliated grotto-heavens, especially the younger disciples, are generally not particularly strong, but they are definitely not considered menial servants either.
Moreover, Yuan Qingsu is a "demon body" of the ruthless lineage.
In the words of the black-robed old man, he and Hua Yunfei were destined to be sacrifices, but they would also become powerful figures who would shock the world.
The young man from Qixia Sect deliberately said that to provoke him. He frowned slightly, sensing the other party's sharp intent. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way at this juncture. According to Yuan Qingsu's grasp of the original trajectory, the next opponent should have been the six great geniuses of Yan Kingdom.
He will then reveal his identity as the Holy Land of Yao Guang to quell the unnecessary disputes, quickly hold two more ceremonies, and then go all out to obtain the forbidden artifact of Shakyamuni from the second primordial spirit of the Crocodile Ancestor within Li Xiaoman's body, thereby increasing his own foundation.
However, just as things were unfolding, fate quietly revealed its capriciousness, and unexpected obstacles appeared.
"Don't be upset. I may be blunt, but it's the truth. Hehe, do you know Li Rui?"
When the young man from Qixia Sect saw Yuan Qingsu frowning, he shook his head and continued to smile, "He is the candidate for Holy Son of your Yaoguang Holy Land this generation. I have fought with him and the result was even. I have also sparred with your Holy Son and lost a few moves, but this is related to my young age and short cultivation time. I will challenge him again in the future."
"I have met all the core members of your Yao Guang Holy Land this generation, and you are not among them. So don't make a mistake. In my eyes, you are no different from a servant. Leave these people behind and I will not make things difficult for you."
"If you're afraid of being blamed when you go back, just say that you encountered Wu Guang and that's why you didn't bring him back. Your elders in the sect will understand."
