Chapter 987: Buddhist Miracle, Three Heads Six Arms

"Luo Chen, you have many underlying issues, but most of them are neither too serious nor too minor and can be remedied through cultivation. However, two of them are like thorns in the throat, causing discomfort that must be addressed!"

Master Xuan Du spoke calmly, as if he could see through Luo Chen’s current condition.

Luo Chen immediately perked up.

He was well aware of the underlying issues with his body, but he thought there was only one.

But if the other party was saying there were two, perhaps there was something he didn’t know?

"Please, Master, speak your mind!"

Master Xuan Du smiled slightly and pointed at Luo Chen’s forehead from a distance.

"Your Life Soul is incomplete, which is one of the issues."

Luo Chen wasn’t surprised that the other could see this. The Crystal Sanctum was quite mystical; being in it made one feel as transparent as crystal. Since the other could spot Qing Shuang’s soul defect, it was natural that they could also detect his own issues.

But to have it pointed out so bluntly still left Luo Chen feeling somewhat uneasy.

With a mix of anticipation, he asked, "Is there a solution?"

Master Xuan Du shook his head.

Luo Chen was taken aback. "If there’s no solution, why do you think you can offer something to persuade me?"

Master Xuan Du smiled. "The Life Soul is the foundation of the soul. Ghost cultivators struggle to reach the pinnacle because they naturally lack a third of their Life Soul. I cannot replenish it for you. However, you are not a ghost cultivator, and your soul foundation is exceptionally deep, so there is a glimmer of hope."

Luo Chen’s expression grew serious as he listened attentively.

"With your foundation, you should have reached the stage of forming a Primordial Spirit, but due to the lack of Life Soul, you have not succeeded. I have a spell that can help you bypass this flaw and forcefully form a Primordial Spirit."

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up instantly.

"Truly?"

"A monk does not lie!" Master Xuan Du sincerely said, then added, "But this method can only address the symptoms, not the root cause. If you want to cultivate without hindrance, you still need to find a way to complete your Life Soul."

Luo Chen fell into deep thought.

Clearly, the spell could only provide a temporary solution, and the Primordial Spirit formed would likely have defects, making it unsuitable for advancing to the Hua Shen realm.

But it was still a path forward!

Moreover, if he could first form a Primordial Spirit, it would be safer to seek out his Life Soul at the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect.

After some consideration, he said, "I am indeed intrigued, but a single spell is not enough to make me commit to your cause."

He was waiting to hear the second condition.

Master Xuan Du was not surprised and directly mentioned the second issue with Luo Chen’s body, which was indeed unexpected.

"Your formidable physique is too complex and counterproductive."

"Uh..." Luo Chen was puzzled.

Master Xuan Du explained in detail, "Have you not noticed that, with your powerful physique, which rivals Qing Shuang’s divine beast form and the Buddha School’s Vajra Adamantine Body, and is on par with the Leakless Golden Body of orthodox Body Refiners, you lack the completeness and ease of those three during battles, and even feel somewhat restricted?"

Luo Chen’s brows furrowed deeply.

He thought back to an unexpected discovery during his battle with Qing Shuang.

The origin power could not cleanse the bizarre magical energy left by Qing Shuang, rendering his regenerative abilities nearly useless.

At the time, he thought it was due to Qing Shuang’s unusual techniques, but now, it seemed that origin power was not so weak.

What had gone wrong?

He pondered the word "complex" and wondered if it was due to the various body cultivation methods he had self-taught.

He started with a path of cultivating with malevolent energy, then shifted to a beast-like transformation, complemented by lightning and fire tempering, and internal and external elixirs, gradually following the ancient cultivation path.

But the ancient body cultivation method had its limits, forcing him to draw upon the Southern Frontier Soul-summoning Path for the brutal Poison Body Cultivation.

Although all these methods ultimately converged into origin power, were there no issues?

Why couldn’t the unnamed Mixed Venom integrate into the origin power, remaining separate?

While Luo Chen was deep in thought, Master Xuan Du’s gentle voice continued in his ear.

"There are many solutions to your condition, but they all involve giving up something."

"I understand that you are reluctant to abandon your cultivation achievements, so a more harmonious method is needed."

"Our Buddhist School has a body cultivation miracle known as Three Heads Six Arms. If you are willing, I will offer this technique to resolve your issues!"

Luo Chen blinked. "May I ask what miracle it is?"

Master Xuan Du smiled. "It’s merely Three Heads Six Arms!"

Luo Chen was stunned.

This was truly a miracle!

The term "Three Heads Six Arms" had evolved into a metaphor for miracles in the Buddhist School.

But he knew that the Buddhist School truly had such a body cultivation technique.

A Vajra he had once fought, rumored to be the abbot of a small temple in the West Desert, had obtained a fragment of the Three Heads Six Arms technique and made rapid progress in body cultivation.

Unfortunately, the technique was incomplete, and the Vajra only managed to cultivate two heads and four arms, with a flawed physical body, eventually being defeated by Luo Chen.

Now, Master Xuan Du was willing to teach him this supreme technique?

"By using the Three Heads Six Arms technique to refine and differentiate various methods, you can retain all of them without interference. In battle, this will greatly enhance your power, leaving few opponents."

"Luo Chen, how do you find this offer?"

Master Xuan Du asked gently.

This time, Luo Chen was genuinely moved.

He instinctively looked at Qing Shuang, who, though silent, conveyed a sense of agreement, indicating that Qing Shuang was also intrigued.

Of course, Luo Chen still hadn’t made up his mind.

"Both of us are heavily injured. Even with these techniques, we will need years to recover fully and provide any substantial assistance to you, Master."

Master Xuan Du waved his hand. "That’s easy!"

Luo Chen was surprised. Even with the aid of a spiritual land and miraculous elixirs, it would take them at least a few years to fully recover.

But to the other, it seemed like a simple matter.

How could he refuse?

Hesitantly, Luo Chen asked, "Earlier, Master mentioned that Master Huiping belongs to the Zen School and Mahakala to the Pure Land School. The Suspended Temple is known as the foremost Buddhist temple. May I ask which school you belong to?"

Master Xuan Du clasped his hands in prayer and said, "I mainly practice Mahayana Buddhism and venerate the Moonlight Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva."

...

The Crystal Sanctum was vast.

Three areas stood out.

The Buddhist Temple, the Bamboo Forest, and the Pagoda Forest.

At this moment, Luo Chen was in the endless white Pagoda Forest.

"The world is a sea of suffering, and suffering is hell. The Crystal Sanctum may not have the Eighteen Hells, but it has the Eight Cold and Eight Hot Hells. If you wish to quickly master the Three Heads Six Arms technique, the Eight Cold Hells is the perfect place."

A calm and composed voice echoed from afar, and the surrounding white pagodas began to tremble as the light danced around them.

Luo Chen was not surprised.

He and Qing Shuang had already agreed to work with Master Xuan Du.

In exchange for generous rewards, they would help Master Xuan Du fend off external threats and assist him in breaking through to the Hua Shen realm.

But the external threats had not yet arrived, so they had ample time.

During this period, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang naturally focused on recovering and testing the techniques Master Xuan Du had provided to see if they could resolve their issues.

It had to be said that the white-robed monk was quite generous.

He not only provided the techniques but also the appropriate cultivation grounds.

The Eight Cold Hells were the perfect environment for Luo Chen to quickly master the Three Heads Six Arms technique!

The White Tower trembled as a vast amount of cold energy surged from the ground. In an instant, the area was engulfed in a fierce blizzard, turning it into a frozen wasteland.

The extreme cold continued to intensify.

Luo Chen's mind was still scattered, observing the outside world and pondering Xuan Du's actions.

"After Qing Shuang and I probed, we discovered that he has already condensed his Primordial Spirit and possesses the Vajra Adamantine Body. His foundation is undoubtedly solid."

"But without a fifth-stage spirit vein, how can he advance to the Hua Shen realm?"

"Earlier, I observed with the Crimson Eye that this Crystal Sanctum is absorbing external spiritual mechanisms. Could the key to breaking through Hua Shen lie in spiritual mechanisms rather than ordinary spiritual energy? Perhaps the Crystal Sanctum, as a spatial spiritual treasure, is substituting for a fifth-stage spirit vein, absorbing spiritual mechanisms to aid his breakthrough?"

Luo Chen's deduction was quite reasonable and was already very close to the truth.

However, this raised a clear issue.

For the Crystal Sanctum to absorb external spiritual mechanisms, its entrance must remain open.

With such a conspicuous presence, the arrival of the Suspended Temple monks was only a matter of time.

"I wonder how much time this will buy Qing Shuang and me?"

Shaking his head, Luo Chen dispelled his wandering thoughts and sat cross-legged on the ground. Two items appeared in his hands.

A jade scroll and a Buddhist rosary.

The jade scroll contained the Three Heads Six Arms technique, while the Buddhist rosary was used to practice the Buddhist mantra for condensing the Primordial Spirit.

Luo Chen was most drawn to the Moonlight Clarity Mantra, which could forcibly condense the Primordial Spirit despite a damaged Life Soul.

But after some deliberation, he resisted the temptation.

This mantra was a temporary fix and would be of little use in the short term.

The Three Heads Six Arms technique, on the other hand, was a powerful divine skill for forging the Vajra Adamantine Body!

"I also want to see if this divine skill is as miraculous as Xuan Du claims, capable of helping me streamline my jumbled techniques and unify my powers!"

Ignoring the increasingly cold temperature, Luo Chen carefully studied the jade scroll.

Within half a day, he had memorized its contents.

But memorizing was just the first step.

The jade scroll was filled with esoteric Buddhist terms, making it difficult and hard to understand.

Xuan Du probably didn't expect Luo Chen to master this technique quickly; he just wanted Luo Chen to recover his state as soon as possible in the Eight Cold Hells.

But who was Luo Chen?

He had a system!

The divine skill was at the fifth stage.

To master it, he only needed a hundred achievement points!

Luo Chen glanced at his long-dormant attribute panel and, with a thought, skillfully allocated the achievement points to the Three Heads Six Arms technique.

In an instant, a glow flashed.

And in the body skill section, a new entry appeared.

[Three Heads Six Arms Beginner 1/100 (Divine Skill)]

As expected, this was indeed a divine skill.

But unlike the Wilted and Flourishing Dao Finger, which one either grasps or doesn't, the Three Heads Six Arms technique had a concept of proficiency.

Clearly, this was a skill that could be mastered through diligent practice and refinement of the physical body.

This type of divine skill had a relatively low threshold and a moderate upper limit.

But Luo Chen didn't mind. As long as it could resolve his issues and enhance his power, he didn't care.

He had practiced even more exotic techniques in the past, so why not a Buddhist divine skill?

When the system forced him to the beginner stage, Luo Chen immediately sensed a slight change in his body.

Origin power still flowed through his body like a river.

But the vigorous blood, omnipresent mixed venom, and threads of spiritual energy were all entwined, influencing and balancing each other.

In the past, Luo Chen focused on complete integration, concentrating all his power into one point.

But now, it seemed that at his current level, integration was more of a hindrance. Differentiation and organization were better.

At that moment, a surge of cold energy crashed into him.

His body reacted instinctively, and his vast spiritual energy immediately resisted the cold.

The Eight Cold Hells were divided into eight smaller hells: Boil Hell, Clenched Teeth, Cleft Lotus Hell, and so on.

In these hells, the body was greatly suppressed, requiring different powers to counteract the effects.

This passive response was perfect for organizing Luo Chen's various powers and then using the Three Heads Six Arms technique to channel them into different heads.

The first power to be activated was his spiritual energy, one of his strongest.

Then came the origin power, untransformed blood, mixed venom, malevolent energy, and pill energy...

Seeing the highly refined malevolent and pill energy, Luo Chen was quite surprised.

Since achieving some success, he had always used the Great Perfection Cleansing Technique and Dragon Slaying Technique to remove any foreign energies and odors to avoid being detected.

But it seemed that some pure malevolent and pill energy still lay hidden deep within his body.

"Finding them is a good thing."

Luo Chen muttered, continuing to push his body to its limits, trying to force out more residual powers.

As time passed, a pure black aura emerged from his arm, and Luo Chen was momentarily stunned.

He still had demonic aura?

But he quickly realized that this demonic aura likely came from the Yuantu Sword!

He had thought that the Yuantu Sword, which he had nurtured day and night, was influenced by him. However, it had also been continuously influencing him.

"No wonder Xuan Du could see that my techniques are varied. With so many powers mixed within me, it's like a powder keg. Only my spiritual energy and origin power are strong enough to suppress all the chaotic forces."

Muttering to himself, Luo Chen continued to push his body to its limits.

When no more additional powers emerged, Luo Chen began the arduous task of using the Three Heads Six Arms technique to differentiate and control his various powers.

Inside the Lapis Lazuli Buddha Temple.

When Luo Chen started using the Three Heads Six Arms technique, Xuan Du opened his eyes in surprise.

"So fast?"

He had expected that Luo Chen, with his varied techniques, must be exceptionally talented to master so many skills.

But he never imagined that Luo Chen's talent was so extraordinary.

In just a few days, he had grasped a body-forging divine skill.

Even in his younger days at the Suspended Temple, only a few could practice this technique.

While it was said to have a low threshold, it required a powerful physical body, and few met this condition.

Xuan Du became even more attentive to Luo Chen.

As feedback from the Eight Cold Hells arrived, he grew increasingly astonished.

The thick, ancient energy, the highly refined malevolent energy, and the faint demonic aura...

"How much killing has Luo Chen done to have such terrifying malevolent energy?"

"He has even harnessed a demonic treasure!"

"I wonder if making him practice the Three Heads Six Arms was a good or bad decision. I fear that instead of sealing a fallen Buddha, I might be nurturing a great demon."

"I can only hope he values the Moonlight Clarity Mantra, adheres to the Dao, and avoids falling to evil."

Muttering to himself, Xuan Du stopped paying attention to Luo Chen's cultivation, as well as Qing Shuang in the Lapis Lazuli Jade Purifying Vase.

As the days passed, the sky outside the Crystal Sanctum began to gather storm clouds.

It's here! (End of Chapter)
