Chapter 173: The Lotus Sutra of Avalokitesvara
Li Daoxuan felt as if he was struck by lightning.
The Jade Sister he had been thinking about turned into a little child, who looked to be only three or four years old. She was delicate and fair, with her eyes closed. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had sensed Li Daoxuan's gaze.
“This…what’s going on?”
Li Daoxuan asked hurriedly.
The figure of the green-clothed lady reappeared in the mirror and said calmly, "Do you remember what I said when you asked me for the method of ghost immortals?"
Li Daoxuan was startled and said, "The Queen said at the time that your ghost cultivation method is special, and Sister Yu must go to the Qingming Realm and stay there for a period of time, which may be three to five years, or three to fifty years--"
Li Daoxuan suddenly had an idea and said, "My Lady, what you mean is that we need to put Sister Yu into the lotus in order to practice that technique?"
Lady in green nodded slightly and suddenly asked him a question.
"There are five kinds of immortals, namely heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts. Ghost immortals are the weakest among them. But do you know why even the old Heavenly Master has to respect me?"
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment. In fact, he had thought about this question. Although the ghost immortals were also very powerful, the Lady in Green was a person who controlled one-third of the underworld. She could fight the Empty-bellied Ghost King and the Black Mountain Old Demon alone. Such combat power was really eye-catching.
Master once said that among the five immortals of heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts, the ghost immortal is actually the easiest to attain and has the weakest strength, but the Green-Robed Lady seems to be an exception.
The Qingyi Lady continued, "Because what I cultivate is not only the ghost fairy."
"The Dharma I practice is called the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Dao of Avalokitesvara. The reason why it is called 'Wonderful Dao' instead of 'Wonderful Dharma' is because this sutra is not a Buddhist Dharma, but the wonderful secret of cultivation of the True Person Cihang."
Li Daoxuan seemed to be thinking about something. Zhenren Cihang was one of the twelve golden immortals under Yuanshi Tianzun. He was born in Taoism with a pure family background, but later he devoted himself to Buddhism and became the widely known Guanyin Bodhisattva.
He suddenly remembered that in "The Investiture of the Gods", after Nezha removed his bones to return to his father and cut off his flesh to return to his mother, Taiyi Zhenren, who was also one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, put his soul into a lotus, allowing Nezha to become a lotus Dharma body and be resurrected.
Is it the same situation for Sister Yu?
"This technique can allow her to achieve a lotus Dharma body, which is extremely pure and spotless. It can also absorb the divine power of incense and fire, and at the same time achieve the status of a ghost fairy and a god fairy."
Li Daoxuan was startled. He looked towards the goddess in green and saw that in addition to the clear fairy light, there was also a dazzling divine light. There were auspicious clouds on her head, like a canopy, which was extraordinary and magical.
At this moment, he finally understood why the Queen made all the Yang Gods in the world extremely fearful, and even Longhu Mountain respected her.
Because she is not only a ghost fairy, but also a fairy who absorbs the power of thousands of years of incense and protects an area!
No wonder when he saw the Empress before, she often sat on the lotus platform, because she was also the Lotus Dharmakaya, possessing the purest, most flawless and spotless immortal body in the world?
"Back then, I cultivated this method by chance, and it took me eighty-one years to develop it in the lotus. Now that Chen Ziyu has me by her side to look after her, it will be faster, but how long it will take depends on her luck."
Lady in green looked at the ninth-grade lotus and could sense that there was a life with unlimited potential growing within it.
She will grow up little by little in the lotus, and then become the saint of the Qingming Realm, or in other words, the successor.
Li Daoxuan said gratefully: "Thank you, my lady. This is also Sister Yu's opportunity!"
He could guess that the Queen must have put a lot of effort into allowing Sister Yu to merge with this ninth-grade lotus and obtain this tremendous fortune.
Apart from anything else, this ninth-grade lotus alone is a rare treasure in heaven and earth. I'm afraid that even if you search all over the sky and hell, you won't be able to find many of them.
After a pause, Li Daoxuan continued: "My Lady, is there any way to make Sister Yu grow up in advance?"
Sister Yu is only three or four years old now. How long will she have to stay in the lotus before she matures?
He doesn't want to wait for decades.
Lady Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but you can't do it."
Seeing that Li Daoxuan wanted to ask more questions, she said calmly: "If there is nothing else, let's stop here today."
The attitude is lukewarm and a little distant.
Li Daoxuan quickly asked another question.
"My Lady, is there any way to treat my Master's old injury?"
As a disciple, he wanted to do his best for his master . Tonight Xu Qingxuan broke through the shackles and left in style.
He could see that while the master was happy for his old friend, there was also a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Lady Qingyi pondered for a moment and said, "Zhang Qianyang's wound was left by the Sanwu Zhanxie Male and Female Sword, and it has penetrated deep into his soul."
“If we want to heal his injuries, we can only strengthen his spirit and let him return to the Yang God realm. Then, we can use the opportunity of pure Yin turning into Yang when ascending to Yang God to transform the sword energy into a part of Yang God. In this way, he can not only get rid of the shackles, but also absorb the sword energy and get one step closer.”
After hearing this, Li Daoxuan smiled bitterly and said, "My Lady, isn't this a paradox? Master fell down to the Yang God Realm because of his injury, and now he has to step into the Yang God Realm to heal his injury. This..."
"So, an external force is needed to push him into Yang Shen."
Li Daoxuan seemed to be thinking about something.
"My lady, do you have any solution?"
The Qingyi Lady did not hide anything and said frankly: "Yes, in fact, the old Heavenly Master once came to me for this matter. We discussed it for a long time and finally came up with a solution that is difficult to achieve."
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up and he asked, "What's the solution?"
"If a Yin God wants to enter the Yang God realm in the late stage, the key is not to accumulate mana, but to strengthen the soul. Since Zhang Qianyang's soul power is not enough, then we can replenish it for him."
"How do you mend it? With water essence?"
Li Daoxuan remembered that water essence had the effect of strengthening the soul.
Lady Qingyi shook her head and said, "The water essence has no effect on Zhang Qianyang anymore ."
After a pause, she said, "We need to kill a ghost fairy, and then use the ghost fairy's soul as the main medicine to refine the Supreme Golden Liquid recorded in the Nine Cauldrons Alchemy Classic. This medicine can increase the soul and help people break through the Yang God."
Li Daoxuan’s body stiffened. Killing a...ghost immortal?
In this world where the Yang Shen realm is already the top combat power, although the Ghost Immortal is the last of the Five Immortals, it is also the best in the world and extremely rare.
Kill the immortal to make medicine!
This idea... amazed Li Daoxuan.
"In fact, the Supreme Golden Liquid can also help Zi Yu quickly achieve the Lotus Dharmakaya, greatly shortening the gestation time of the ninth-grade lotus."
Lady Qing Yi said calmly: "That's why I just said that you can't do it."
It's not that I underestimate him, but killing a ghost immortal is too difficult, almost impossible.
Li Daoxuan was a little absent-minded. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "Is the Empty-Bellied Ghost King qualified?"
If we talk about all the ghosts in the world, the most terrifying one is the Lord of the Underworld, the Empty-Dulled Ghost King.
Lady Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."
"Xu Du is not a ghost fairy, but a ghost king. However, he is extremely special. He has swallowed millions of evil spirits. His magic power is like the sea. Ordinary ghost fairies may not be his opponents."
"But because of his evil thoughts, even though he has enough Taoism and magic power, he has not been able to achieve the status of a ghost immortal. Whether he can refine the Supreme Golden Liquid... is a fifty-fifty chance."
Is 50% possible?
Li Daoxuan's eyes moved slightly, and he silently memorized the name of the Empty-Dull Ghost King.
