Chapter 244: True Reality Dharma Realm, A Glimpse of the Future
Chapter 244: True Reality Dharma Realm, A Glimpse of the Future
Just as Ji Jingqiu had predicted, the onlookers were not limited to the idle spectators from various Dao Temples along the long street.
There were also the experienced elders who had just returned from different parts of the Federation, stretching their bones.
"This is... the True Reality Dharma Realm? The myriad phenomena are the Dharma Realm, manifesting the unselfish True Reality?" someone whispered in surprise, "The True Seed cultivates the Dao Field, the Shackles contain the Dharma Realm, haha—"
An elder beside him, resembling a majestic lion, affirmed,
"This child's Dao foundation is unparalleled in history. I, having roamed through many worlds, have seen numerous so-called prodigies, but none could bring their heart-body to such a degree before the Heaven People."
"No wonder the Great Crimson Heaven Lord values him so highly. I wonder what level of Heaven Person body he will forge after achieving the unity of his corporeal and mental realms."
"No matter how many supernatural transformations there are, they are all means. Only by returning to the origin can one see the source. In the end, cultivation seeks truth and self. This child has already embarked on the right path."
Just then, in a 1,619 book, a mistake in the version number caused a stir.
The Crimson Lab seemed to have grasped a theoretical data model, allowing them to vividly demonstrate the gap between the Heaven People and those below them. Under Yan Ruhuo's arrangement, Ji Jingqiu bid farewell to Luo Wujie's disciples and embarked on his journey back to the Four Guardians Star.
As he calmly walked to the end, seven or eight warriors from various Martial Lineages stood up to challenge him, only to fall into the Troubled Realm, unable to extricate themselves for a while.
It was still a scorching summer afternoon, but the crowd felt a heavy weight in their hearts, accompanied by an indescribable chill. They all immediately contacted their respective Martial Lineages.
Was Elder Mu among them?
...
After breaking free from the shackles of the five viscera, he would be able to see where the limit of the Heaven People lay.
His words exuded such intense confidence that some in the crowd were reminded of the domineering display during the battle at the White Jade Capital.
The ancient records were not joking when they described how, upon reaching a certain level, one could easily hypnotize the lifeforms of an entire planet. It was the truth.
He wanted to see if Ji Jingqiu, as the descendant of the ancestors, could gain insights from his confrontation with the Vajra Lineage, just as the ancestors had done in the past.
First, it was confirmed that Ji Jingqiu had indeed broken through the Embryo Breath Realm.
...
"Why rush for something a hundred years away? Even without the Nine Palaces, I'm sure other forces will seek connections with certain individuals below. It's better to settle things early and avoid future disputes."
Hearing this, the man's face turned even redder.
He couldn't possibly pay for it himself; everyone in the Shackles Realm was dirt poor. The Martial Lineage had to reimburse him for bringing back such crucial intelligence!
This battle also made him truly realize the terror of mental cultivation suppression.
Although he had only imitated a fraction of the true intent, Ji Jingqiu's mental realm was vast, comparable to the moon amidst countless stars when compared to the others.
An elder laughed and said, "Is Ji Jingqiu following the path of seeing the myriad phenomena as formless? By unifying the myriad phenomena, one can perceive the formless, break through the myriad forms, and realize the true self of the Tathagata. Alternatively, one can directly perceive the Primordial Boundless and see where this child goes from here."
Luo Wujie sighed with a hint of melancholy, never expecting to lose in such a manner.
The mental cultivation in the Shackles Realm was insufficient, and even meeting Ji Jingqiu might result in a one-sided defeat.
This news alone caused a stir among the various Martial Lineages.
...
Even if he broke through to the Heaven Person Realm, wouldn't it still be a long way off?
Someone slammed the table and stood up, their eyes as cold as a winter star. Unable to keep up appearances, they shouted,
But was this considered cheating?
A day later, under Sui Canghai's command, the spaceship entered space-jump mode and arrived at the Four Guardians Star.
Someone recognized his identity, also from the Hundred Channels and an ancient lineage.
"You guys, you really don't know a treasure when you see one. I understand why Elder Mu summoned us; it's because the World Honored One's lineage has finally produced a successor!"
According to Yan Ruhuo, the current generation of powerful elders in the Federation were all gathered at the Four Guardians Star!
"Our Federation is full of anomalies. Could this child be another anomaly?" someone whispered.
The former adds, perceiving the myriad phenomena, while the latter subtracts, melting away the hundred sutras, and only through comprehending everything can one embrace everything.
Elder Mu was not one to let this child run wild; he truly had confidence! When Ji Jingqiu returned, those who had not yet escaped the Troubled Realm would finally break free from their shackles.
Among those present, the most advanced were at the Fourth Break, and those who could reach the Fifth Break in the Shackles Realm were the seedlings with the potential to challenge the limit of the Heaven Person.
On the long street, silence reigned.
The True Reality, as known in Buddhism, is the unending nature, also called the Tathagata Storehouse in Buddhism and referred to as the Heavenly Nature, Dao Nature, or Lifebound Primordial Spirit in Daoism.
Elder Mu's attitude towards Ji Jingqiu differed from that of the Great Grandmaster? Considering the imminent departure of the previous generation, everyone fell silent, not rejoicing in others' misfortunes but feeling a sense of heaviness.
Ji Jingqiu walked down the long street, and the crowd that had been sitting on both sides showed expressions of astonishment and uncertainty. Some subconsciously averted their gaze from his line of sight, while others stared intently, trying to discern the truth.
At this moment, Ji Jingqiu's heart was filled with tranquility and contentment.
The key to enlightenment lies in the word 'understand.'
The six shackles of the Shackles Realm can be considered six minor levels.
And this is just a superficial manifestation.
"Ji Jingqiu, you're being outrageously arrogant! Remember this: my name is Linjiang, and I await you at the Donglin Dao Temple. If you have the guts, come and challenge me!"
The aftermath of this battle gradually spread within a limited range.
The Great Grandmaster of the Qin Lineage, Qin Wendao, also reminisced with a hint of nostalgia, "It truly brings back memories. Back then, I was even more arrogant than this kid."
Under the vast starry sky, the Lion Heart Dao Lord, Shi Wenjing, had eyes shining as fiercely as a lion as he laughed,
Unless one brings along a special calming artifact.
"Elder, who wants to spar with me? Rest assured, it's just a warm-up and has nothing to do with the pursuit of the Dao."
However, to perceive the formless, mere polishing is insufficient. The ultimate wisdom can only be 'understood,' and it's not a matter of quantity that can be compensated for through progression. One must break through the mirror.
And if not, would they have to send a Mind Phase Warrior? A Mind Phase at the initial stages of the Shackles Realm... This is already a difference of five minor levels and one major level."
In the ancient past, the ancestors of the Buddhist sects engaged in profound discussions, laying the foundation for the revered position of the World Honored One.
...
During this time, Luo Wuji's eyes grew deeper, and his body exuded a Zen aura, hinting at his enlightenment.
It is said that cultivation is about understanding the world and oneself. But how should one go about this process of understanding the world and the self?
He sighed, feeling the immense distance he had yet to travel.
A warrior who had accidentally cracked the ground with his steps earlier suddenly remembered something, turned back, and found the shop owner. He gave him a phone number, asking him to seek compensation.
Ji Jingqiu, hearing this, couldn't help but be surprised.
Even though he was still in the early stages of the Shackles, having broken only a couple of them, he could sweep through this realm and even challenge those beyond. This was the support Ji Jingqiu relied on to challenge the Hundred Channels Realm!
The Great Universe's constraints on the mind were too strong. No one knew if the loosening of rules four years later would bring about any changes.
Despicable! Too damn despicable!
...
Luo Wujie had a premonition, sensing something above. If his guess was right, it was likely that some powerful beings were observing this battle.
Before hanging up the communication, Ji Jingqiu looked up at the sky.
The crowd sitting along the street was startled, some of them trembling. They hadn't expected Ji Jingqiu to dare to initiate a challenge against them.
Someone took a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress the air in their chest, but ultimately failing. They stood up in anger, and as their energy surged, it cracked the ground beneath their feet.
Luo Wujie quickly recalled the special realm contained in Ji Jingqiu's previous palm strike, and a ripple formed in his mind, reminding him of certain ancient secrets.
The Zen Meditation Seal was an important inheritance of the World Honored One lineage, and when paired with the Fire House Hell Visualization Chart, it formed a secret mental technique. Although it didn't match the divine abilities of the other party, in certain aspects, it could provide mutual verification.
He would give them a "surprise" at the event, allowing them to more intuitively understand how far they were from the Heaven Man realm.
The cruelty of the martial world was on full display! Among the dozens present, not all were despicable. Someone slowly stood up, walked onto the long street, and said with a sharp gaze and a deep voice, "Let me measure your worth. Given our age difference, if you can last ten moves against me, I'll consider it my loss."
Luo Wujie, as the master of the Vajra Ground, had spent decades studying the classics and gained profound insights into Buddhist principles.
Observing the Ten Thousand Phenomena was a step to broaden one's knowledge and understanding. This step required polishing the mirror in one's hand to reflect the world and the self.
When warriors compete, the outcome is clear—it's as pure and simple as it gets.
But if you shine a light on water, the light takes on a shape.
"This battle, the Vajra Sect has lost."
Ji Jingqiu had broken his own mental abilities, but he couldn't break through the profoundness and inclusiveness contained in that palm strike...
69 Book Bar
The forces that had learned of the inside story began to worry about how to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Only by transcending from nothingness to everything and then from everything back to nothingness can one truly see the Formless.
After reaching the Heaven Man realm in martial realm, potential takes a backseat, with insight and luck becoming the main factors, especially the former.
As Ji Jingqiu returned to the Four Guardian Star...
Behind Ji Jingqiu stood the Great Grandmaster of the Mu Clan, perhaps representing the Mu Clan's stance. How could they be so disrespectful? Someone even secretly contacted the Mu Clan to gauge their opinion. Surprisingly, the response they received was, "Don't worry about their views."
Ji Jingqiu didn't hesitate and walked forward calmly, his gaze sweeping the crowd. He smiled, showing his teeth, and openly challenged the four directions:
After pouring oil on the fire for everyone, he didn't forget to offer a friendly reminder:
Mu Chan Tian smiled, indicating his agreement.
...
...
Ji Jingqiu sat down and got straight to the point, discussing the interpretation of Vajra with them. Using the Zen Meditation Seal as a guide, he exchanged insights into mental abilities with his opponent.
At this moment, he walked calmly and composedly through the crowd, and wherever he passed, warriors from various martial lineages stood frozen in place, as if trapped in a dream.
His disciples, still somewhat bewildered, couldn't believe their master had lost in just a few minutes. Could it really be because he had taken the bribe...?
The crisp sound drew the attention of the others, who glanced at him.
Within the Buddhist lineage...
What is Formless? Four words suffice: "All phenomena are non-phenomena."
He said solemnly, "Vajra Sect, it's an honor."
Through their discussion that night, Ji Jingqiu gained a new understanding of the content in many ancient books of the World Honored One lineage.
Thus...
If Ji Jingqiu could indeed defeat the Vajra Sect's Five Shackles Realm warrior within five minutes, they seemed...
The same question lingered—who should they choose to face Ji Jingqiu's challenge? Unconsciously, everyone gradually replaced their verbal "that kid" with "Ji Jingqiu," putting aside their arrogance stemming from age or any hidden thoughts.
The onlookers' faces changed, finally confirming that this person had indeed achieved Heart Certification Fetus Breath and condensed the Soul Embryo! Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to so easily trap them in a mental quagmire.
Even the Vajra Sect's Five Shackles Realm warrior, skilled in secret mental techniques, couldn't withstand five minutes. What level of warrior should they send to counter someone in the Heart Certification Fetus Breath realm? At this thought, everyone felt a headache like never before. Being challenged across realms wasn't scary, but the opponent's ability to win was terrifying. Could it be that they had to dispatch a Mind Phase warrior? With this thought, everyone's minds were in disarray, and they hurriedly left.
He was still trying to capture its essence.
"Such a youthful mind, it seems we can rest assured. Even if we leave, the Federation's future will be worry-free."
Ji Jingqiu took a step forward, speaking calmly and peacefully, "There's no need for that. If you're willing, we can all go together."
After saying this, he coldly snorted and left in anger.
Someone subconsciously took a step back, their mind unsettled, still haunted by the image of being entangled by those numerous troubles.
The Formless was difficult to define, much like light, which was also formless and intangible, making it hard to grasp.
He stood up and bowed slightly, saying:
Additionally, the young generation who, like Ji Jingqiu, had gone to the Nine Provinces, also began to return to the Great Universe, appearing on the Four Guardian Star.
Subsequently, Luojueji personally escorted Ji Jingqiu to the entrance of the Dao Temple.
Ji Jingqiu, having deeply comprehended Luojue, stepped out alone, leaving the sect with a clear mind, ready to face the world.
"Speaking of the Nine Palaces, what are your thoughts?" Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up, "The Nine Palaces are like the pinnacle of civilization in the Great Universe, and the Federation's cooperation with them is like partnering with the best."
Another person pondered, "I've seen it today, and I think there's no issue with Elder Mu's proposal. Since it's like this, should we inform our disciples and students to prepare for the future situation?"
But soon, he felt invigorated, as he had finally found his path forward.
"The path is right beneath our feet, how can it not be exciting? Yesterday's battle with Luojue made me vaguely sense the existence of certain innate selves."
Ji Jingqiu didn't need to go through the so-called three-day silent period; he directly stepped onto the land of the Four Guardian Stars.
Sweeping through the same realm, he was like a broom sweeping fallen leaves.
As for whether Ji Jingqiu could rise in the Federation, he wasn't worried; he didn't even care.
Shi Wenjing sighed.
"Who knows what the world will be like in a hundred years? Maybe, by then, we'll have all achieved Dao and returned. Instead of relying on the next generation, we should rely on ourselves."
The person beside him had a strange look in his eyes as he watched this guy leave, his face twitching uncontrollably.
Ji Jingqiu's insights from today went far beyond his expectations, already reaching the True Reality Realm.
The other person responded with a deep voice, indicating that they had already received the message and that yesterday's battle was under their surveillance, with the Crimson Lab calculating certain key data.
At this point, age seemed like a mockery to them.
...
Ji Jingqiu had already mastered the Bodhi Root and now touched upon the True Reality Nature...
He felt it should be divided into two steps.
Both were the highest achievements.
One of them tentatively looked to the side, seemingly unsure.
"Protecting the Dao is fine, but don't interfere." Ke Chichi said indifferently, "Sometimes, strategy surpasses strength. Compared to the Many Worlds, the Great Universe, and the Federation, it's just a corner. Passing through this corner calmly will give him enough experience and capital to explore the Many Worlds."
This person had previously introduced himself as coming from the Nanhai Dao Temple!
He used this to explain his insights from the battle with Luojue, vaguely seeing the path ahead.
"Not bad, in the future, when journeying through the Many Worlds, a slight misstep won't just lead to defeat, but to death and the end of the Dao! Countless celestial beings have surpassed the Heaven Man Limit, but they fell during their journey through the Many Worlds."
Ji Jingqiu returned to the Vajra Sect, aided by the Ten Thousand Phenomena Pearl, but even as he forcefully subdued the Shackles Realm warriors, he still felt a hint of mental fatigue.
Mu Chanti smiled and didn't oppose.
Immediately, an unprecedented pressure and headache followed.
"Additionally, if someone damages a single brick or tile here, it's considered a loss. Small business, remember to compensate."
The True Reality Nature and the self's Buddha Nature are called 'Tathagata'. Wisdom, awakening, and supreme right and equal right awakening are called 'Bodhi'.
Formlessness is also like this, so to prove formlessness, first see the Ten Thousand Phenomena in the mortal world.
As if an elder with a pure yang great sun, calmly and casually said,
In the Vajra Sect.
The Federation's martial arts indeed won't be surpassed by anyone! Ji Jingqiu contacted Yan Ruhuo through the smart terminal.
But...
Ji Jingqiu's heart sank, as the promised Dharma from Elder Yan hadn't arrived yet...
This seemed... not a good sign.
The crowd's eyes shifted slightly, watching Ji Jingqiu leave the Vajra Sect and walk onto that long street, like the previous battle hadn't satisfied him.
Today's purpose had been achieved.
They discussed until the next morning.
Such a person wouldn't have time to appear today.
"Questioning the Hundred Channels..." Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself.
Ji Jingqiu felt that perhaps this step was the realm of Grand and Formless.
Mu Chanti, the Mu Clan's elder, didn't respond, marveling in his heart.
...
Deceiving and shaking the heavens and earth with the mind, even evolving the heavens and earth, is the true path of this Dao! In the Vajra Sect, Luojue swept the floor to welcome him, having his disciples serve tea.
This place was ultimately too small, unsuitable for unreservedly displaying his power. He used Supreme Wisdom Light with the Ten Thousand Phenomena Pearl to manifest the previously comprehended Troubled Realm.
At the same time.
He immediately sensed the activity from La Jiang.
It wasn't the Inner World's La Jiang, but Haila's true body!
She was trying to descend, appearing before Ji Jingqiu!
A nap, fortunately, left an hour...
No food, win-win-win for dieting
Also, I won't really write a hundred battles, conquering the Hundred Channels isn't the goal, the ultimate aim is to dominate the Federation.
