With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal
Chapter 1058 - 671: Bestowal, Quasi-Buddha, Entering Wutai for Dragon Elephant Enlightenment! (Part 3)
The state of mind, upon Master Bai Bao’s guidance, is no longer confused or puzzled.
Only the Buddhist principles...
"I should let it settle for a while..."
Too many unclear aspects just now, inevitable oversights while seeking fruits.
Good things never come easy.
...
The night is quiet and peaceful.
Ling Mountain Dharma Realm, Great Hero Hall.
Abbot Xuanmou opened his eyes, the surrounding Buddha light calm as the sea, behind him a grand specter emitted penetrating golden light.
He spread his palm, as the golden light surged, the flesh patterns became visible, engraved with incomprehensible textures, seemingly gathering karma, yet also reincarnation.
Xuanmou reached out, fingers forming a net as if giant columns holding the sky, parted the vast sea of clouds.
Quietly at this moment.
On the reverse side of Shaolin Temple’s Bowl Peak, the bamboo forest quietly unsealed...
...
Silent night.
Moonlight sprinkled down, laying a layer of silver sand, also covering Meng Chuan’s body.
From the morning’s harvest in the Bodhidharma Cave, to the conversation with Immaculate Divine Monk and Master Bai Bao resolving confusion.
Finally, he had a free moment.
Meng Chuan rubbed his hands, looking at the golden elephant seal within his sea of consciousness, couldn’t help but grin.
After twists and turns, it’s finally in his hands.
[Prajna Dragon Elephant Divine Skill]!
It is said that upon entry and during cultivation, the movement is astonishingly large.
When residing in water, it overturns rivers and seas; on mountains, it causes heaven and earth to crumble, requiring an exceptionally precious place for cultivation.
According to Jue Ming’s explanation, Liao Huo went to Wutai Mountain in search of a top location for cultivating Prajna Dragon Elephant.
What about him?
Naturally, he would cultivate on Master Bai Bao’s platform mountain...
That day, the damage caused by Big Buddha Head, the withered bodhi tree, seemed to rewind time back to the past ’result’.
This is the power of the so-called Wheel of Transcendence.
In cultivation, he could cause more destruction, still, it’s merely a matter of Master Bai Bao waving a sleeve and it’s instantly restored!
Meng Chuan had already agreed, Master Bai Bao smiled and nodded, allowing him the freedom.
What else is there to say?
Just go all out!
Sea of consciousness.
Golden threads intertwined, lifting a golden elephant seal slowly rising from the sea surface, suspended brightly in the high sky.
Upon sensing contact, the seal revealed new changes.
Upon glimpsing the Buddha light, the seal’s half-body dispersed into golden mist, then converged into a yellow golden dragon entwining with the elephant head, a burning yet profound heaviness arose spontaneously.
Prajna Dragon Elephant, supreme in strength and greatness...
Meng Chuan felt this surge of feeling, like an unmatched fit with him, almost like meeting an old friend too late...
After gazing at the seal for quite some time, seeking to make complete contact in an instant.
"Huh?"
The vision suddenly changed.
Meng Chuan blinked, discovering a palm-sized booklet of thumb thickness had unknowingly appeared in his hand.
In his mind simultaneously came a gentle yet old clock-like steady voice:
"The essence of Prajna Dragon Elephant, the old monk presents to the junior for study..."
Hmm?
The voice sounded like...
Abbot Xuanmou has come?!
Meng Chuan was greatly surprised, then calmed.
Earlier, what Immaculate Divine Monk said was indeed true.
Upon receiving the affirmation from Master Ding Guang, he had truly become the foremost Great Saint of the Buddhist Sect, the Abbot of Shaolin Temple, peer of the World Honored One...
Truly amazing.
In the future, could he directly go to the Sutra Pavilion to study, without seeking someone to fetch them?
Meng Chuan slapped his forehead.
Too narrow, the perspective is too narrow...
He could stride through the temple without hindrance, the Sutra Pavilion is nothing!
This level of connection is heavenly, except it seems the generations are quite mixed...
No matter, when truly needed, just use the tiger skin as a flag.
Whether within the temple or outside, life would proceed as usual, sparing the constant reminders on the lips causing annoyance.
Regardless, strength remains the top priority.
Everything else is secondary.
Quickly steadied, Meng Chuan waved towards the sky, yet no one responded.
"My senior is rather busy..."
He once again focused his attention on the small booklet in his hand.
The ink had yet to dry.
Sure enough, Abbot Xuanmou’s hand-copied book was the only one, and it had just been transcribed.
Back when Liao Huo was learning Prajna Dragon Elephant, he probably didn’t have such treatment, right?
Not bad.
As long as a cup of tea.
Meng Chuan finished reading Abbot Xuanmou’s essential entry, gaining more confidence in his heart.
"As expected of Abbot Xuanmou, the man who is the only one in the world to deduce Prajna Dragon Elephant to the tenth level..."
After entry, one can use the booklet for reference to verify their own cultivation, but one should not follow it verbatim.
The essence of the Divine Skill is equivalent to a teacher answering questions and resolving doubts.
In practice, each person’s understanding and perception of the cultivation technique, their paths, and even their physical conditions are different, leading to unique experiences.
Following it to the letter will never lead to ’Enlightenment’!
Of course, unless a complete secret technique that directly points to the method of enlightenment is presented, taking you by the hand through the entire process of understanding, seeking, and entering the path.
Like Elder Zhao’s Tianyuan Method, only then can it be so.
Obviously, Prajna Dragon Elephant does not work this way.
According to the records in the booklet, even a figure like Abbot Xuanmou was stuck at the tenth level for over fifty years...
The difficulty of the physical path is evident.
However, it’s not all bad.
According to the records in the booklet, his current physical talent is already slightly superior to that of Abbot Xuanmou.
With an increasing amount of horizontal training attributes, his talent is infinitely elevated, and he will eventually master this technique to Perfection, bringing to the world a horizontal divine skill that directly points to ’Enlightenment’.
Meng Chuan gazed into the distance, feeling that day was not far off...
The time for imagination ended.
He refocused his attention on his consciousness, grabbing the intertwining seal of dragon and elephant, instantly refining it!
The world of imagery arrived!
A hot stream surged from his tailbone, shooting straight up like an arrow, seemingly igniting his entire spine.
The shadow of the Black Tortoise rose distantly, overlooking from above.
With a slight nod, it disappeared without a trace.
Meng Chuan’s eyes went black, and in an instant, heaven and earth flipped, and the scenery drastically changed.
Reopening his eyes, he witnessed a magnificent scene, murmuring to himself:
"The Five Mountain Range..."
According to the Buddhist Sect, the dojo of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
He suddenly understood why this method is called Prajna Dragon Elephant.
Prajna signifies great wisdom and is also an alias for Manjushri Bodhisattva’s ’Prajna Latent Wisdom’.
Between dragon and elephant, the former represents the ’great strength’ considered by the Buddhist Sect as the most powerful, symbolizing unparalleled masculine strength and awe-inspiring divine power.
Whereas ’elephant’ is the holy beast of the Buddhist Sect, unshakeable as Mount Meru, calm enough to suppress evil, and forceful enough to destroy all, symbolizing solid and stable vajra power and the compassionate guardianship of protective might.
The combination of dragon and elephant represents the ultimate of strength and the majesty of regal authority.
"The creator of this method, Lingkong Dharma King, is indeed a person of great wisdom!
Prajna Dragon Elephant. To speak only of dragon and elephant would breed violence, reducing it to brute force. Without the dragon and elephant, Prajna’s wisdom would be empty and difficult to manifest divine power. Thus, the technique is crowned with Manjushri’s Prajna Latent Wisdom, intending to understand ’using wisdom to harness brute force, using compassion to reign in formidable might’..."
Cough, cough. Meng Chuan admits he doesn’t possess such great wisdom, able to penetrate it all from a single glance at the landscape.
It was all explained in the essence by Abbot Xuanmou; he just felt it in conjunction with the imagery world...
Wiping his face, he came back to himself.
Meng Chuan surveyed the mountain scenery, waiting for the next change.
Some imagery lacks ’subjective initiative’ and requires waiting for subsequent developments.
For example, watching the entire process of the black mist destroying the Buddha court in the Great Brahman Dharma Realm, he couldn’t interfere. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
Such imagery worlds are mostly about ’comprehension through contemplation’.
Unlike Elder Zhao’s Tianyuan world, or Marshal Qi’s Long Fist imagery, which require hands-on trial to gain experience...
He calmed his mind, an invisible hand gradually pushed aside the obstructive clouds.
The distance between Meng Chuan and the Five Mountain Range became increasingly compact, a unique divine charm rushed straight to his head, lingering long.
The towering and majestic mountains stood amidst the sea of clouds, exhibiting solemn grandeur.
Golden light shone around the body of the Five Mountain Range, entwining around him, serving as guidance.
Wherever the Buddha’s light shone, peace prevailed.
Moved in spirit, Meng Chuan suddenly realized his form had become light as a feather.
Pushed swiftly by the wind, the scenery on both sides receded rapidly.
He went straight into the depths of the Five Mountain Range, hidden among the greenery.
A towering canopy like a massive dome, many times larger than the mutated Bodhi tree on the moon platform, the ’Ancestral Bodhi Tree’ came into view.
Catching a peculiar scent, an inexplicable charm arose.
In a state of sudden realization, he evidently grasped the significance.
This was precisely the place where Lingkong Dharma King enlightened about the method, akin to Xiang King’s Tomb on Rosy clouds Mountain, where the Ancestor Master Bodhidharma, like Xiang King, left traces of divine charm.
The Five Mountain Range.
Everything was clear now, no wonder Liao Huo wanted to cultivate the Prajna Dragon Elephant Skill here...
He silently noted this place, planning to visit when he had the time, hoping for considerable gains.
