Chapter 1060: Tusi (Thanks to the Alliance Leader, Cannot Bear HW!)

The Southern Kingdoms!

Since the invasion of the Secret Teachings gods, the southern part of the continent has been the first region of the Material Plane to fall.

By now, many long decades have passed.

For long-lived species like gods, dragons, and elves, a few decades are nothing more than the blink of an eye.

But for ordinary people, a few decades is already the passing of two or three generations.

The influence of the Outer Gods on them has already penetrated every aspect of their lives.

Once another few decades pass and the older generation has all died out, they will take being ruled by the Secret Teachings as a matter of course, as something perfectly natural and right.

After waiting for about half an hour, a group of Knights hurried over, led by a fat man with blonde hair and blue eyes.

After all, the status of monks is supreme!

And ascetics are barely considered "reserve monks"; perhaps their masters might not care, but they must remain respectful.

The resurrection contingencies laid out by all other gods have been blocked.

Any teleportation spells like "Teleport" or "Dimension Door" are subject to monitoring.

Other than that, everything else can remain unchanged!

"Tower, Pupa... these two are having a lot of fun playing here."

【You have gained some insight into the 'View of Emptiness', and you have comprehended the method to refine 'Great Sun Divinity'!】

"So... should I first infiltrate the temple?"

Outsiders are very conspicuous in the local area.

These overseers are also mostly in their twenties or thirties, belonging to the new generation born after the fall of the Southern Continent; they have even forgotten that the profession of 'Bard' exists.

Aaron muttered to himself, but he roughly understood: these people worship the 'Great Mani Pearl King Wisdom Buddha', but they have not received any bestowals; they only offer, and offer incessantly!

Aaron rubbed his stiff face.

The 'Master of War' is very important.

Hmm.

Then, more prompts appeared:

'Is this some kind of intelligence-lowering aura?'

Only those who sincerely convert, like those of the 'White-Robed Dragon Queen Earth Mother', can be resurrected.

"It's not that urgent, let's look around first..."

He had already experienced a sudden enlightenment: as long as he continued to absorb the radiance of the Great Sun and constantly condense it within his body, he could refine a trace of 'Great Sun Divinity'!

This is the Divinity of 【Vairocana】!

It can govern all Dharmas!

"It's only because it's me; if it were a Saint of the gods, or even other Legend-class professionals, wouldn't they be exposed the moment they teleported over?"

Instead, they think that pleasing the landlord and contributing everything they have to the monks is a matter of course!

An overseer quickly mounted his horse, raised his whip, and rode off in a cloud of dust.

The reason why a small number of ascetics exist in the Southern Kingdoms is entirely because they failed to please their 'Guru' and were unable to receive 'Empowerment', so they could only wander around, looking for opportunities...

Oats were planted in the fields, and a group of serfs, looking like walking corpses, were working in the fields; some even wore shackles to prevent them from escaping.

The kingdoms that once existed on the Southern Continent have long since turned to dust.

Aaron thought for a moment and replied: "My name is... Maitreya! I am an ascetic..."

Therefore, it is very easy for them to become food for the gods of the Secret Teachings!

"What the hell, if I am to cultivate Divinity, it should be the Buddha-nature of the 'Silent Venerable Secret Lord Buddha', so how did it become that of 【Vairocana】 himself?"

As for the Secret Teachings sealing things so tightly, how did that Chosen One manage to sneak into the Underworld?

This seems to be related to the arrangements of the Master of War, and it even consumed a main Artifact of a 【Greater Divine Power】; the cost was too high and the success rate too low, so it was not very advisable.

However, what they worship is yet another Buddha—the 'Eastern Immovable Victorious Buddha'!

This Buddha signifies the characteristic of being stubborn and unyielding in all things.

"I wonder what this Master Maitreya needs?"

They were born as serfs, and they have always been serfs.

Aaron was naturally not afraid and followed along to the shade as requested.

This meant that the region ruled by the Secret Teachings had completely opened its doors to him.

"This Master... I am the local manor owner—Bayi Dewensi. My master—Noyi, is the local castle lord, and has been granted the title of 'Kangba Tribal Chief' by the high monks of Snow Eagle Temple..."

However, the 'ascetic' identity Aaron reported still intimidated them to a great extent.

Although as long as he revealed his true identity as a Buddha Son, not to mention these overseers, even their master, or their master's master, would have to kneel, the identity of 'Maitreya' still had some issues, as if it had popped out of nowhere.

Aaron's figure walked out.

Although the experience points gained each time were not much, it was continuous and endless, which was quite terrifying!

"If I had started cultivating in the region ruled by the Secret Teachings from the beginning, I'm afraid I could have become a Legend just by lying down?!"

Their wisdom was gradually absorbed by the 'Great Mani Pearl King Wisdom Buddha', becoming a Mani Pearl in the other's hand.

'The Resistance Army had previously sent people to try to infiltrate one after another, but they all failed, and that even included a Legend-class thief!'

It is just that the Divinity cultivated from the View of Emptiness does not perfectly fit oneself, but rather fits the Secret Cultivation Honored One.

"If you could provide some food and clean water, this poor monk... no, I would be very grateful."

This also carried a sense of surveillance.

They had no idea what the outside world was like, let alone why they were living such a life.

"So this is the South, is it?"

For example... tempering one's will and physique through "asceticism"...

Aaron formed the "Secret-Keeping Seal" with his hands, a golden swastika flashed in his eyes, and within his sea of consciousness, that "rebellious seed" suddenly shone with great light.

Otherwise... if seen by some passing "yellow-robed monk," they could order their master to offer up their bones, flesh, and skin... to be crafted into a Magic Tool!

Once people are idle, they will think about many messy things, become dissatisfied, and even put them into action!

Aaron almost wanted to just quit and walk away.

The landlords worship Him, naturally wanting everything to remain unchanged, so that the serfs' sons remain serfs for generations, and the landlords' sons remain landlords for generations.

【You contemplate the Great Sun, comprehend the "Three Channels and Seven Chakras Yoga Method," this is a practice of the Secret Teachings... situated under the illumination of the Great Sun, experience points are continuously increasing...】

The view of emptiness within it is that mortals do not plunder the Divinity of divine creatures, but rather a method to cultivate Divinity themselves!

Aaron prepared to wander through a few areas first, spreading his deeds as an ascetic monk, and then one day have an "enlightenment," receiving the Dharma from a Buddha, which would be more plausible.

"However... ever since the God of Death died, the Underworld has been sealed; wanting to enter it alive is a bit difficult..."

Anyway, since he was preparing to play at infiltration, he would be a fool to say his name was Aaron.

Hmm... serfs have one other greatest use, which is to offer up everything they have to serve a certain Master in practicing their Dharma!

If it were a beautiful serf woman, the outcome would be incomparably miserable!

Becoming a monk requires many conditions; if they are not descendants of those Castle Lords, the descendants of Manor Lords often need to endure many hardships.

The gods of the Secret Teachings have completely ruled this region, even setting up a tight net.

Master Bai's voice sounded somewhat smug.

Although the "Father of Oaks" revealed news of that "Primal God" Ao, the other party's state should be poor, and he is at a disadvantage against 【Vairocana】.

Aaron walked across a field ridge.

A joyful smile unique to a prankster appeared on Aaron's face, and with a lute on his back, he began to wander.

Unfortunately, 【Vairocana】 had long ago blocked the channels for the gods to resurrect, holding the Underworld in his own hands.

Well, these are all fake.

Aaron's mouth twitched, discovering that those overseers were also worshipping the Buddha.

Aaron was shocked!

"This Master, please take a rest, we will go handle it immediately."

For example, Aaron!

Aaron opened his arms, as if embracing the Great Sun.

Aaron sighed, starting to think about how to do his job well.

At this moment, he was dressed as a wandering poet, wearing light traveler's clothes, with a +3 lute on his back that had been artificially aged, looking travel-worn.

Just because he looked at the serfs a few extra times, he was targeted by those overseers.

A "Manor Lord" only has one manor and is often a vassal to a certain "Castle Lord."

Every temple governs a vast diocese, and the areas occupied by those temples worshipping the Buddha are no smaller than the original duchies or even kingdoms!

The monks in the temples have become the de facto nobility!

"But I can directly blend in..."

Aaron pressed his palms together, looking for the feeling of being a monk.

And then...

The name Maitreya is quite suitable, as it can occupy the future Qi Number.

"The only remaining passage to the Material Plane is still located within a few great temples of the Secret Teachings' gods..."

After all, what need do slaves have for ideology?

Everywhere there are either serfs or slave owners; serfs have no spiritual need to listen to music, and even less money! —the latter is often more important!

"Sigh... unfortunately, who told me I am one with the main body; if He fails, I'm finished too?"

On the contrary!

Those princes and nobles, kings and grand dukes, either had their entire families wiped out or were turned into serfs.

After all, professions like wandering poets and circuses also need to eat.

"A Chosen of the Master of War, in order to resurrect the other party, used a special method to fall into the Underworld, and then got trapped..."

"Taking a crooked path, evil and heretical..."

"An ascetic?"

The remaining people respectfully invited Aaron to rest.

He looked around and muttered to himself.

Aaron complained in his heart and prepared to leave.

"Who let me be a Buddha Son recognized by the Buddha... and of the 'Silent Venerable Secret Lord Buddha' lineage, with His secrecy, even if I encounter other Secret Teachings gods or even Buddhas, I might not be exposed!"

Aaron thought with some toothache.

Of course, the "Eastern Immovable Victorious Buddha" also has symbols of change, and the only change they hope for is that their own family can produce a great monk!

And under the temples, there are a series of "Castle Lords" and "Manor Lords" who have been assimilated by local culture and enfeoffed, which are the big landlords and small landlords.

A "Castle Lord" possesses a castle, a large piece of land nearby, and a massive number of serfs.

【Vairocana】 is the common main deity of all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajra Protectors of the Secret Teachings!

His power is unimaginably strong, even forming a special field that shrouds most of the Material Plane!

"Could it be that what the main body set for me is the path to usurp the divine throne of 【Vairocana】? He really thinks highly of me..."

He observed carefully and found that apart from the buried flames in the eyes of a few old slaves, the eyes of the other young serfs mostly carried a look of numbness.

Nowadays, ruling the entire southern region, high and above, are the temples or shrines everywhere!

The entire Southern Continent is, at every moment, under the shroud of a Weird power!

They exchanged a glance, took up their leather whips, and surrounded him directly: "This is the territory of Master Bayi, we are the overseers for Master Bayi, who are you?"

He felt that the Scarlet Light shrouding this land not only did not repel him, but instead accepted him intimately.

……

The Southern Continent is truly too unfriendly to bards.

Within the void, wisps of Great Sun Light swarmed over, filling his body, circulating along specific Meridians and acupoints, and finally gathering at the center of his brows.

Therefore, the help of more 【Greater Divine Power】 is needed.

Who is 【Vairocana】?

That Scarlet sun almost schemed against the original body, and he is going to go head-to-head with it using a single avatar?

Better to just wash up and go to sleep... everything is in dreams!

One prompt after another emerged.

Master Bayi's overseer looked Aaron up and down, clearly feeling he didn't look like one!

Among the ascetics in his memory, which one wasn't heading toward the main temple that worships the original body of 【Vairocana】—the Great Snow Mountain Temple—bowing every step, dressed in rags, and going on a pilgrimage?

Who dresses so flashily, and even carries a lute on their back?

Comprehending a fundamental cultivation method from the Great Sun is one thing, but he is extremely skilled in the methods of the Secret Teachings anyway, so he was already damn used to it.

When the overseer gave the order that they could rest, many serfs began to silently chant scriptures:

"Sentient beings' wisdom... becomes my wisdom... Om... Bamona..."

And the path he walked, those serfs didn't even dare to touch, only daring to kneel far away and kowtow to the 'Guru', as if an Instinct habit had already formed.

Those overseers put down their whips, their faces carrying suspicion, and asked with some probing.

"This is a top-quality slave, docile, obedient, will not resist..."

In the Divine Attribute bar, a prompt emerged:

【You listened to the 'Wisdom Buddha Scripture', and comprehended the method of extracting the wisdom of sentient beings to transform it into a Mani Pearl!】

A portal was opened.

As for the manor lords and castle lords?

They could indeed support a few performers and jesters who did not engage in production and were specifically for entertainment, but they were often kept in the manor, and there was simply no need for outsiders.

【Experience +100!】

【Experience +100!】

Without wisdom, there are no three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance, and one can attain supreme bliss!

This is the content of the "Wisdom Buddha Scripture"!

As Aaron listened, his brows furrowed.

This is also the reason why most of the gods' schemes failed!

"Secret!"

Aaron looked up, gazing at that wheel of a Scarlet sun, and narrowed his eyes.

Aaron sat down and sighed in his heart.

"Opening the door to invite thieves!"

But Great Sun Divinity?

The foundation of Secret Teachings cultivation is still three steps: Bodhicitta, Emptiness View, and Tathagatagarbha!

And all 'castle lords' must compete to please and worship the monks in the temples to gain their support, otherwise their own status could plummet at any time.

Only castle lords favored by those great monks can obtain the title of 'Tusi', representing hereditary rights to this land!

And he had some blood relation to that Tusi Noikangba, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get a manor.

After revealing his identity, he said to Aaron with a hint of pride: "I brought the best white bread from the manor as an offering to the Master..."
