immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Sutra of the Ten Wheels of Ksitigarbha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supernatural power this Bodhisattva had once wielded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was most skilled in mental force, vow power, and methods of cultivating the soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bodhisattva, I wish to cultivate a soul-based supernatural power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Jiang Jian spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and said, “Among all sentient beings, some cultivate the body, some cultivate the mind, some cultivate deeds, and some cultivate the spirit-soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a sutra dedicated solely to cultivating the soul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If mastered, it grants eternal spiritual permanence, unshaken through countless kalpas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian immediately realized it was the famed Sutra of Ksitigarbha’s Original Vows from the story world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The supernatural powers recorded in this sutra indeed focused exclusively on the spirit-soul, and were profoundly deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Jiang Jian knew better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivating this sutra required not only profound Buddhist attainments, but also years of painstaking, slow effort to achieve even minor progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had spent over a hundred yuanhui to fully master and transcend this sutra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in his own reality, he had no such time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bodhisattva.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian fell silent briefly, then bowed respectfully, “When I governed the Wheel-Turning Hall, I once cultivated the Sutra of Ksitigarbha’s Original Vows—I have some foundation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you extract its supernatural powers for me to cultivate separately?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This way, I could focus entirely, achieving twice the result with half the effort.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The foundational portion of this sutra was not a secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was commonly circulated throughout the Ten Halls of Yinshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian’s idea was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sutra of Ksitigarbha’s Original Vows was indeed profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what he needed was merely the supernatural powers recorded within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wheel-Turning King, I perceive you excel in cultivating mental force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This sutra may not suit you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bodhisattva spoke softly, as if seeing through Jiang Jian’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have another supernatural power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I obtained it from the depths of the Canghai before I attained the Dao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If mastered, this power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Allows the spirit-soul to enter a mirror, shifting between illusion and reality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter how many kalpas strike, it will not fall into reincarnation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His dark Buddhist robe fluttered lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ancient scripture emerged from nothingness, transforming into a twisting beam of light that shot straight into Jiang Jian’s third eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s form dissolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bodhisattva’s divine manifestation behind him likewise shattered into light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten rings of karmic light spread outward, illuminating the Ten Halls of Yinshan as bright as daylight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian was momentarily dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he regained his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new supernatural power had appeared within his spirit-soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A line of ancient Yinshan script glowed faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bright Mirror, Still Water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian gazed at these four characters, his spirit-soul trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright Mirror, Still Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whispered the name again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within his mind, he already had a preliminary understanding of this power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If cultivated to its deepest level,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This power allows the spirit-soul to mirror reflections, shifting between illusion and reality, immune to all harm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If used as an offensive technique,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can project the spirit-soul’s aura as illusory mirror images, directly annihilating the enemy’s spirit-soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned “Bright Mirror, Still Water” once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian returned to himself, a faint joy stirring within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This supernatural power would aid him immensely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Hell Judge stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Jian: “By the Bodhisattva’s decree, from today onward, you shall temporarily oversee the Ksitigarbha Hall as its Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below Yinshan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, all bowed their heads in reverence, their expressions filled with utmost respect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jian’s expression remained calm—he paid it no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of
