Chapter 1052: Buddhist Branches (1)
In the void, Monk Sanzang and Master Langyue were exchanging witty remarks with each other.
Vasuji Dragon King coiled around the neck of Master Adu, constantly making low and ferocious howls. In the small temple, the flames on the altar were rising slowly, and the energy of Master Adu was slowly calming down, constantly consolidating the huge .
Master Langyue was smiling, and the Brahmin beside her, the great demon Kusakaskull mentioned by Lu Yu, and several powerful Asuras, were shaking their bodies and slowly surrounding the monk Sanzang step by step.
The poison in Monk Sanzang's body was being forced out bit by bit. He clasped his hands together and smiled, seemingly harmless.
Bai Zun's eyes flickered, and the number of non-heavenly creatures emitting a faint red light around him increased. The sweet and crisp laughter of a woman floated from all directions. In the void around him, separated by a dimensional barrier of indefinite dimension, vague blood-red figures could be seen floating in the wind.
How big is the Supreme Primordial Heaven?
Nobody knows.
In short, in the vast Supreme Primordial Heaven, the Heavenly Court is the highest governing organization on the surface. The Heavenly Court demarcated the void and set up a number of celestial regions. Under each celestial region, there were star regions of varying sizes. Under each star region, there were even smaller territorial divisions.
At this moment, in the 'remote corners of the border' of the Supreme Taichu Heaven, in more than three hundred celestial domains, nearly ten thousand star fields, hundreds of millions of stars and floating continents, the non-heaven that had been spreading quietly, suddenly erupted under the drive of Bai Zun's thoughts.
Originally, these non-heavenly beings, in these stars, floating continents, and empty cities and floating fortresses, were like fires spreading quietly under thick fallen leaves, burning quietly and spreading slowly. But at this moment, Bai Zun's mind moved, and it was like a hurricane blowing through the forest where the dark fire spread. Fires rose from the ground, quickly engulfing the towering trees, quickly covering the hills of all sizes, and gradually becoming a prairie fire.
The woman's cries and laughter resounded through the sky.
In broad daylight, countless blood shadows could be seen flashing on the streets.
Blood-colored sedan chairs were rampant in the streets, blood-colored lanterns were floating in the low sky, blood-colored embroidered shoes were jumping all over the ground, leaving behind bright red shoe prints wherever they passed. There were also blood-colored incense burners floating in the air, emitting either elegant or rich bloody aromas that made people drowsy.
People, large groups of people fell down.
Their bodies shrivelled and shattered, and the cities, neighborhoods, and houses where they lived seemed to have been washed away by the torrent of time for countless years. In a short period of time, they became weathered and old, gradually collapsed, and finally turned into a mess of ruins.
People died, cities and neighborhoods disappeared, and new red shadows slowly rose into the air above the ruins.
These red shadows, these newly born non-heavenly beings, no matter whether they were good or bad, male or female, old or young in their previous lives... no matter what they did in their previous lives, what their temperaments were, no matter what experiences or encounters they had, when they were transformed into the non-heavenly beings, they provided tremendous power to Bai Zun and Monk Sanzang who were countless miles away in the void!
Among these newly born non-celestial beings, many had strong cultivation abilities in their previous lives.
From heavenly soldiers to heavenly warriors.
From Tianxiao to Tianjiang.
From the Heavenly Lord to the Great Heavenly Lord.
There are even people who have reached the perfect state of Great Heavenly Sovereigns and are only one step away from becoming Great Emperors - it's not that many people don't have the qualifications to be promoted to Great Emperors, but because of the Heavenly Rules and Precepts, and because Emperor Taichu does not allow them, they cannot be promoted to Great Emperors, that's all.
After they transformed into Feitian, all their wisdom, all their experience, all their understanding of the Dao, and all their cultivation background were all integrated into the big pool of 'Feitian' and turned into the background of Monk Sanzang and Bai Zun.
Everything they had, all their knowledge, all their experience, all their perceptions, all their great ways, were inherited by Monk Sanzang and Bai Zun. And countless non-heavenly beings became the "sub-brains" of Monk Sanzang and Bai Zun. With countless sub-brains put together, their mind power became infinite. They could generate and destroy countless thoughts in the blink of an eye. In every breath, they could understand, perceive, comprehend, and analyze the perceptions of hundreds, thousands, millions, and tens of millions of monks of the same level about the great ways...
Without making any sound, during the verbal battle between Monk Sanzang and Master Langyue, and at the cost of the deaths of countless lives, the cultivation and realm of Monk Sanzang and Master Bai Zun were skyrocketing wildly.
This surge was not even slower than the power gained from the sacrificial ceremony of Master Adu.
This kind of surge is, in fact, a cruel sacrifice of another nature!
Compared with Master Adu , the sacrifices offered by Monk Sanzang and Bai Zun were larger in scale, bloodier, more cruel, and more... inhumane.
The mana is increasing.
The body is getting stronger.
The understanding and control of the Tao are rising.
There are countless living beings on billions of stars… Among them, even if only one in ten thousand are cultivators, to what extent have they reached in their understanding of the Great Dao?
Ten thousand different monks, when they open their eyes and use their hearts to perceive and comprehend the sun, moon, stars, rivers, mountains, lakes and seas, they all gain different things... Some marvel at the scorching heat of the sun, while others sigh at its generosity... Some marvel at the magnificence of the full moon, while others remember the poignant beauty of the waning moon...
Some people appreciate the mysterious and steepness of the thousand-foot-high mountains, while others like the gentle and beautiful beauty of the hundred-foot-high peaks...
Some people like the majestic and long river hundreds of miles wide flowing eastward into the sea, while others like the gurgling and lively streams a few feet wide in the mountains...
Their cultivation levels vary in strength, and their perceptions of the Dao vary in level... but because their foundation is so huge, they analyze the same Dao from different angles, directions, levels, and dimensions. As a result, when countless low-level cultivators' perceptions of the Dao are pieced together, the 'Dao realm' they obtain will be more complete and perfect than those of the Great Emperor-level beings and some powerful beings who have condensed the Emperor's Seal.
In the blink of an eye, Monk Sanzang and Bai Zun's foundation and accumulation of the Dao had reached the ultimate critical point where thousands of great ways could condense the Emperor's Seal Dao Fruit at the same time!
With just a light step, Monk Sanzang and Bai Zun can condense thousands of Emperor Seal Dao Fruits at the same time.
Monk Sanzang exchanged wits slowly and leisurely with Master Langyue. More and more blood-colored figures appeared behind him, gradually forming a mysterious and magnificent formation shaped like a mandala, with a diameter of more than 30 million miles.
While watching the verbal confrontation between Monk Sanzang and Master Langyue, Lu Yi sighed, "Just tell me, how come such a small sacred place like Nalanda has so many different branches?"
"Look at you, look at them, and then look at...um, Qingsha's group?"
"You all, who are following whom?"
