Chapter 32: Abundant Fertilizer
Chapter 32: Abundant Fertilizer
"Zen Buddhist Affinity, in essence, is the manifestation of one's innate spiritual nature, also known as the Heart Reflection Aura."
Ji Jingqiu asked, "Is this Heart Reflection related to the Heart Image of the Five Realms of Martial Dao?"
"There is a connection, but not a strong one," Zhang Chongba said, smacking his lips. "To put it simply, the Heart Reflection is the embodiment of a person's thoughts combined with their mental state, and it is the manifestation of their inner self.
The mental state is like a mirror.
It reflects who you are.
You can deceive those closest to you, but you can never deceive yourself. Therefore, through the Heart Reflection, one's true nature can be seen clearly.
However, it is impossible to peer into another's Heart Reflection, even if they are just an ordinary person.
But a hint of the Heart Reflection Aura can still be discerned."
Ji Jingqiu inquired, "Can Insight Techniques influence the Heart Reflection world?"
Zhang Chongba pondered for a moment before replying, "Insight Techniques and the Heart Reflection actually influence each other.
When the Heart Reflection aligns with the Insight Technique, the martial artist's cultivation speed through visualization will be extremely fast.
Conversely, if they are not in harmony, forcing cultivation will subtly and unconsciously change the practitioner's Heart Reflection.
For example, after practicing the Tiger Devouring Saber Diagram for a long time, one's mental state will generally tend towards decisive killing, which is a type of killing Insight Technique.
But the specifics vary from person to person."
Ji Jingqiu understood in his heart. It seemed that the Zen Buddhist Affinity they perceived in him was largely influenced by the Flame Temple Buddha Hell Insight Technique.
Setting aside other factors, let's take the example of the Bodhimanda Sprout in his mind.
The Bodhimanda is inherently a symbol of the Buddhist path.
In the past, the Buddha attained enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree.
Ji Jingqiu quickly asked another question, "A killing Insight Technique? Are there different categories of Insight Techniques?"
"Little brother, do you understand the true meaning of Insight Techniques?"
Upon hearing this question, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but recall the words of Yang Shi from earlier.
"To safeguard us in the Mental Sea?"
"Correct. The purpose of Insight Techniques is to protect the Dao! The Mental Sea is filled with deception and danger, and Insight Techniques are our swords and shields."
Zhang Chongba explained, "Opposite to the killing school is the life-saving school. These two are the mainstream Insight Techniques in the present day."
Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but feel curious.
Which school does the Flame Temple Buddha Hell belong to?
"When you asked about the origin of the Supreme Buddha Sect, it's necessary to mention the life-saving school."
Zhang Chongba narrowed his eyes and slowly said,
"According to the archives sealed by the Administration Bureau, the Supreme Buddha Sect was established during the early days of the Federation. They are staunch supporters of the life-saving school, believing that the karmic fires of the world never extinguish, and suffering is pervasive. They believe that by saving others, one can reach the other shore and attain the Supreme Bliss Position, thus proving the Bodhi."
"In the past, they maintained the order of the Federation in their own way. Although they occasionally clashed with the Administration Bureau, it was always within controllable limits.
Until... someone in the Federation created the first artificial deity using the heart's intent of a martial arts master as the core.
Although this incident was quickly suppressed by the Federation, with strict regulations enacted, the relevant personnel and materials were detained and sealed by the Federation at the first opportunity, never to be seen again. However, this incident had far-reaching consequences.
One of these consequences was the transformation of the Supreme Buddha Sect."
Ji Jingqiu's eyebrows jumped at this revelation.
An artificial deity created using the heart's intent of a martial arts master?!
What kind of deity was this? Was it the original person or a new deity?
Cold Blade suddenly spoke up, "Humans always covet the authority of the gods. It was the same during the gene-editing craze 120 years ago, and it's the same now. They never learn from their mistakes."
The authority of the gods?
Does that refer to... creating life?
"Gods, they're also a form of life?" Zhang Chongba continued.
"The changes in the Supreme Buddha Sect are of great significance, because in their eyes, the Supreme Bliss Position, or what they call Divine Authority, is crucial."
"After that, those guys split into two factions.
One faction still revered the old ways.
While the other faction proposed a grand goal—
They believed that the Three Realms were aflame, and all souls were dull-witted. Only the emergence of a Supreme Buddha with Supreme Wisdom Light could save the world by creating a Heavenly Pure Land, embracing all, and expanding their Pure Land."
"So, from then on, they spared no effort in collecting the mental imprints of powerful martial artists, attempting to create a 'Supreme Buddha' to save the world.
In this process, they kept compromising and twisting their own doctrines, eventually falling into complete demonic cultivation."
Ji Jingqiu understood.
In the eyes of these people who advocated crossing others to cross oneself, with the ultimate goal of becoming gods, if gods could be created, then wouldn't his long-cherished wish, his years of persistence, all become a joke? Madness is the norm!
Zhang Chongba shook his head.
"Someone like you, with deep Buddhist affinity, would have been enough to become a Buddha's son in the Supreme Buddha Sect, a position akin to ascending to heaven.
But now... you can only become the nourishment and puppet for the Supreme Buddha they're creating."
Ji Jingqiu asked in surprise, "Did they really create a Supreme Buddha?"
Zhang Chongba scoffed, "Nonsense! That so-called Supreme Buddha is just a monstrous amalgamation!
Be careful when you encounter people from the Supreme Buddha Sect. They're experts in mental corruption, a skill they acquired from worshiping that monstrous creation."
Ji Jingqiu blinked, instantly remembering the jade Buddha.
Could the mental energy within the jade Buddha have come from the monster created by the Supreme Buddha Sect?
He gasped; that would be like tons of fertilizer! Ji Jingqiu's little heart thumped wildly.
The energy contained in a single jade Buddha had caused the little tree to grow a leaf.
If an entire Supreme Buddha were buried, how many leaves would it grow?
And the more leaves, the larger his Pure Land would expand!
One leaf is a foot long, and ten thousand leaves would be...
It was too much, too much to calculate!
Ji Jingqiu suddenly felt something strange in his heart.
Why did he feel... that he was the Supreme Buddha they were expecting?
The offline gathering of netizens ended here for the night.
Zhang Chongba and Ji Jingqiu agreed to meet at the martial arts hall the next day. After wiping his mouth, Zhang Chongba said he needed to prepare and expected to set up the Sky Net near his home that very night.
It was good that Li appeared; he would make sure Li had no way back once he showed up!
...
After returning home, Ji Jingqiu practiced his foundation stance as usual and went to bed at ten o'clock sharp.
That night, he rarely met Zhougong and had a beautiful dream.
In his dream, he worked diligently like a little bee, disassembling a golden Buddha into countless pieces and burying them one by one under the roots of the Bodhi sapling.
Feeding on the nutrients from the golden Buddha, the Bodhi sapling grew taller and taller, eventually becoming a towering divine tree that reached the heavens.
Standing beneath the tree, he looked up, and it seemed to have no end, endlessly soaring, as if piercing through countless worlds, with no end to its crown in sight.
Countless leaves gently swayed, and the clear light of jade rose to the sky, illuminating the layers of darkness and supporting the boundless Pure Land, enveloping the Three Realms and the ten directions.
Like awakening from a dream, he stood under the tree, pointing to the sky with one hand and touching the ground with the other, reciting a grand verse:
"Heaven and Earth, None Higher Than Me."
