Chapter 639: Penetrating All Laws, Three Thousand Mani

"Speaking of which, in the path of cultivation, the Three Teachings walk further! If I exchange for new immortal Dao scriptures, it's best if they come from the Three Teachings."

Brother Qian Chen sighed: "I have already walked very far on both the Dao and Demon paths..."

"Especially the Demon path, I am simply at the end of the Demon path. Looking back, all paths are followers! It's as if I'm lonely in my invincibility... I am also a sect founder in the Daoist sect, only the Buddhist sect has not been truly comprehended. However, when I controlled the Yin Demon, I also used the Buddhist sect's cultivation methods, but it seems I have no aptitude in this regard! "

"In the Buddhist sect, there is also a path that has walked out of an immortal Dao, named Jin Xian!"

Brother Qian Chen locked onto the classics of the Jin Xian on the exchange list!

Jin Xian was the path of half-Buddha and half-immortal in the early days of the Buddhist sect when the cultivation methods had not yet been perfected. Many famous great Bodhisattvas in Buddhist classics were from the Jin Xian background.

"Wait... I don't seem to be without roots in the Buddhist sect. If I start from the Dao Chen Zhu, the related Jin Xian Daoist methods might be more suitable for my cultivation!"

He searched the exchange list with Mani Bead as the keyword.

"It turns out that in the Buddhist sect, there is actually a sect that uses me as a token!"

"At the Supreme's last Dharma meeting, the Supreme twisted the beads, and the Buddha smiled. This matter is recorded in the orthodox scriptures of the Buddhist and Daoist sects, and it is also the recognized origin of the Buddhist sect. So speaking of it, I am still a holy object of the Buddhist sect... Sigh! Unknowingly, I have actually become the source of the Three Teachings."

"The cultivation of this world is too dependent on me!"

Brother Qian Chen flipped through it casually and found that this allusion became the origin of a branch of the Buddhist sect. This sect was named the Mani Sect, also known as the Muni Sect!

The sect uses the Mani Bead as the heart seal, believing in the allusion of "The Supreme twisted the beads, the Buddha smiled, heart-to-heart transmission, this is the correct law!"

They believe that only after the Supreme merged with the Dao did he truly comprehend the Great Dao, and at the last Dharma meeting, he used the spiritual beads to demonstrate and pass down the correct law, of which only the Buddha received his true transmission.

Therefore, the Supreme said: "I have the correct law eye store, the wonderful heart of Nirvana, reality without form, the wonderful law door, entrusted to Shakyamuni!"

There is also the "Supreme Merging with the Dao and Transforming Hu Scripture" which says: "I ride the natural bright Dao qi, fly from the true silent realm into the Western Jade Realm, in the Su Lin Kingdom, born in the royal family, left home to enter the Dao, named Mani..."

Brother Qian Chen found their seven fundamental scriptures in the Mani Sect—"Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws", "Pure Life Treasure Scripture", "Vinaya Scripture", "Secret Law Store Scripture", "Proof of Past Scripture", "Great Power Divine Scripture", "Praise Wish Scripture", "Great Two Sects Map"!

Carefully pondering the introduction, Brother Qian Chen locked onto the first one, "Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws", which was a scripture for cultivating wisdom.

Because in the Buddhist sect, the Dao Chen Zhu, which is the Mani Bead, is called the Pearl of Wisdom, known as Prajna!

The cultivation method of this scripture is unusual. It is to recite the scriptures, polish one's own wisdom like a bead, and entrust it to one's thoughts!

Grain by grain of wisdom, like bright pearls, illuminating the darkness, arriving at the other shore!

This is the cultivation method of Prajna Paramita in the Buddhist sect, and it is also one of the six correct laws (six paramitas) of the Buddhist sect!

Prajna is wisdom, Para is the other shore, Mita is arrival. The six paramitas are the six methods to reach the other shore. This was originally the six cultivation methods of the Buddhist sect during the Jin Xian period, among which Prajna Paramita can be translated as 'reaching the other shore with wisdom'!

"This method has an affinity with me!"

Brother Qian Chen's eyes overflowed with strange light: "Reaching the other shore with wisdom, I seem to know where the scripture that the Supreme transmitted to the Buddha heart-to-heart came from! It should be the 'Mahaprajnaparamita Great Bright Scripture' in my memory! So speaking of it, the Mani Sect was really not wrong. In the past, the Supreme twisted me in order to leave behind this lineage of the Buddhist sect."

"Heart-to-heart transmission, I am the Heart Scripture!"

"Cultivating wisdom into Mani Beads with this method, if you count three thousand Mani Beads, you can break through the darkness, arrive at the other shore, and prove the Jin Xian Dao!"

"Most importantly..." Brother Qian Chen pondered on the exchange list: "Exchanging for this scripture only requires ten Morality points. This is the fundamental scripture of a great sect!"

"Yan Yan Shixiong Yan, look at how much Morality you need to exchange for the 'Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws' of the Mani Sect?"

Brother Qian Chen's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he suddenly asked Yan Shu and the others.

"Oh! The Mani Sect seems to be a sect circulating among the ten thousand countries in the Western Regions of the Central Lands, and it is one of the branches of the Buddhist sect. Why is Qian Shidi interested in their methods?"

Yan Shu said and opened the exchange list, nodding slightly: "40,000 Morality points, it is worthy of the status of the fundamental scripture of this sect!"

"The Mani Sect uses the Mani Bead as a holy object. Yan Yan Shixiong should know what the Mani Bead is? If I want to prove the Primordial Spirit, I must prove the Immortal Dao nine times. If I take this sect's method as one of them, it is convenient!"

Yan Shu realized: "Their holy object, isn't it the... on Qian Shidi's body."

"If so, it is really suitable!" Yan Shu thought: "The Mani Sect is a sect that split off from the Buddhist sect early on. In their classics, there are many traces of my Daoist sect's cultivation methods, not as biased as the Buddhist sect after it was established. Speaking of it, the fundamental method of the Mani Sect's cultivation is to worship the treasure of your sect. It looks very embarrassing, which is also pitiful!"

"If I cultivate their correct law, I will pass on the Prajna Paramita Dao to you!" Brother Qian Chen felt narrow-minded and said casually.

"Haha, Qian Shidi is really speaking without taboo..." Yan Shu laughed: "I have my own Great Dao, why learn the Buddhist sect's Prajna Paramita?"

Brother Qian Chen flipped through the exchange list and found the Mani Sect's inherited spirit treasure—Sacred Fire listed on it, and suddenly understood!

This inherited Sacred Fire was also a sect-suppressing spirit treasure.

In the past, the Mani Sect used wisdom as the foundation of cultivation, but the Mani Bead, which symbolized wisdom, was the sect-suppressing supreme treasure of the Supreme Louguan Dao, which was very embarrassing!

Therefore, later, the holy land of the Mani Sect—Dayun Bright Temple, found a Sacred Fire when it was at its peak in the past, which was transformed by the fall of an ancient God of Light. Based on this, they re-cultivated the classics and created the "Great Two Sects Map" with the opposition of light and darkness as the foundation!

"Is this showing favor to me? Or trying to pull me toward the Mani Sect?"

Brother Qian Chen pondered slightly, then laughed: "It's likely another sect that wants to pull a relationship with me, so they can worship me openly. Sigh! There are too many sects coveting me! The Mani Sect is named after Mani and cultivates by condensing Mani Beads, but it has nothing to do with me, the Mani Bead main body, which is also embarrassing! I'll help them once, condescend, and reluctantly cultivate their scriptures!"

After saying that, he gave up ten Morality points, and a bright pearl fell from the light beam of the Lord of Samsara, shining brightly. It was clearly the appearance of the Mani Bead, imprinted into Brother Qian Chen's brow.

The fake met the genuine version on Brother Qian Chen's side and was easily suppressed, turning into a simple bead in his sea of consciousness.

Driven slightly by Brother Qian Chen, a layer of scriptures floated on the surface. Brother Qian Chen sensed it for a long time, gradually comprehended the scriptures, pointed the red lotus casually, and it fell into the Pingshu Lake, and he sat cross-legged on it to recite the "Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws"!

This scripture is extremely mysterious. Although the characters have traces of Buddhist Sanskrit, they are also somewhat similar and different, mixed with many principles of ancient divine script.

It is rumored that the Mani Sect leader was the reincarnation of the ancient God of Light. If you only look at this scripture, it is indeed not groundless.

If others recite this scripture, it will definitely be stumbling and not fluent!

Because every character contains supreme wisdom. The ancient God of Light was also the God of Wisdom. The wisdom contained in this scripture has supreme equality heart, supreme compassion heart, supreme inaction heart, supreme non-staining heart, supreme empty view heart, supreme non-view-taking heart. If there is a trace of hindrance in the heart, the scripture in the mouth will stumble.

In the Dayun Bright Temple, one must cultivate into a method (elder), like the cultivation of the Daoist sect's Core Formation, otherwise it is extremely difficult to recite this scripture fluently.

For someone like Brother Qian Chen to be fluent as if he had read it billions of times and understood the wisdom of this scripture thoroughly the first time he recited it, it is simply incredible!

After reading this scripture ten times, Brother Qian Chen felt a sudden movement in his heart.

A thought shone brightly, suddenly refining the wisdom that emerged when reciting the scripture, turning it into a Mani Bead that fell into Brother Qian Chen's heart.

Once this bead appeared, Brother Qian Chen's divine sense moved slightly, and the operation speed became much faster. His divine wisdom was clear, and it seemed that he could observe the world from a new angle.

Accompanied by the continued recitation of the scripture, countless thoughts emerged with the scripture, then collided with each other, were tested, and most of the thoughts were shattered, leaving only the wisdom within, melting into the last remaining thought, turning it into a kind of wisdom.

Brother Qian Chen condensed twenty-eight Mani Beads in one breath, connected bead by bead, circling in a circle, like a string of beads.

A string of golden prayer beads appeared in his hand, and for every recitation of the scripture, he counted one bead...

The sound of reciting the scripture echoed in Brother Qian Chen's heart from all directions, past and future, heaven and earth, deep in his heart, coming from everywhere, gradually the sound of reciting the scripture was indifferent and emotionless, like a god, operating the Great Dao, without birth or death...

Yan Shu and the others watched Brother Qian Chen sitting cross-legged on the red lotus outside, reciting the scripture.

After a while, a circle of light radiated from behind Brother Qian Chen, which was transformed by the light of wisdom. Wherever it shone, all wisdom was unobstructed. Many creatures in the Pingshu Blessed Land, fish, shrimp, and aquatic tribes all floated up, surrounding Brother Qian Chen to listen to his recitation.

The white deer with the Dragon Sparrow Ring knelt down not far away, bowing its head respectfully to listen to the master's teachings!

But after a while, the sound of reciting scriptures gradually came from Brother Qian Chen's main body, the Dao Chen Zhu. That sound was terrifying, word by word, as if the world was being born and destroyed!

The sound grew louder and louder, gradually spreading outside Brother Qian Chen's body. The Pingshu Blessed Land was instantly filled with wind and clouds, and heaven and earth seemed to be overturning.

The earth rolled like turbid qi, the blue sky fell like clear qi, black lightning appeared on the edge of this space, space was constantly extinguished, but new space was opened... Wind, earth, water, and fire were in a mess under Brother Qian Chen, looking like a scene of destruction.

Yan Shu noticed something wrong the first time the mutation occurred!

The rolling sound of reciting scriptures echoed in the Blessed Land. Si Princess Qingcheng had already manifested her divine domain, sitting in the palace like an empress, guarded by four divine generals, resisting the invasion of the scriptures.

Yan Shu escaped his natal sword fetus, circling himself and Ning Ning Shimei Ning like a sword pill, constantly slashing and extinguishing the incoming sound of reciting scriptures.

The three white deer were trembling with fear. Only the one under Brother Qian Chen's seat was faintly excited, jumping and jumping: "The master has finally revealed his true nature and is going to destroy the world!"

"I have comprehended many Demon Dao Great Magical Powers from the master's scriptures!"

"Three Corpses Ten Thousand Poison Scripture!"

"Taotie Swallowing Heaven Great Magical Power!"

"Return Ruins Extinguishing World Small Magical Power!"

"Black Death Underworld Emperor True Scripture!"

"Ninety-Nine Witch God Great Curse Method!"

Fragments of cultivation methods danced in the scriptures, and evil, destructive, and twisted wisdom kept emerging.

In Brother Qian Chen's sea of consciousness, Mani Beads were condensed one after another. Every time he recited the scripture, a thought transformed into a Mani Bead, and the prayer beads in his hand were also endless, with no end in sight.

At this time, thousands of Mani Beads had been condensed, and it was not far from three thousand Mani, seeing the other shore!

But those golden prayer beads had all turned pure black at this moment, like worlds about to be destroyed.

Condensing Mani Beads with the "Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws" originally required constant comprehension of the Great Dao, experiencing worldly affairs, and polishing the Dao heart to increase the foundation of wisdom. The scripture could only lead out wisdom and condense it into beads, and could not create wisdom out of nothing.

Ordinary Mani Sect elders reciting this scripture only accumulated wisdom, and only when they reached the moment of sudden enlightenment could they condense a Mani Bead.

And Brother Qian Chen condensed twenty-four Mani Beads in one breath the first time he practiced the "Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws", which was already the limit, and the trend of condensing wisdom beads gradually slowed down. Within seven days, reciting the scripture millions of times, with another five hundred wisdom beads, the foundation would be exhausted.

To condense more, one had to comprehend the Great Dao, enter the world to practice, and re-accumulate wisdom.

But unexpectedly, all kinds of thoughts kept emerging in Brother Qian Chen's heart, thinking, condensing wisdom. The normal inspiration led out by the "Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws" was exhausted, and there was a feeling of drying up. But as his thoughts slightly deviated, infinite demonic wisdom surged from his heart!

These wisdoms were filled with extremely exquisite understanding of the Demon Dao, destruction, the Nine Heavens, twisting...

Each thought contained astonishing evil wisdom, all kinds of killing methods, killing people, killing life, killing heaven, killing earth, killing everything that could be killed, the killing Great Dao...

The appearance of destruction of all things!

Indescribable, incomprehensible blind stupidity!

The decay of things and karma!

Understanding of death!

A principle, how to twist into countless kinds of deviations, biased principles...

Opposed to order, the extremely chaotic Great Dao of Chaos!

It was like the primordial qi of the one-yuan number between heaven and earth. Except for a few he was very familiar with, for most ordinary primordial qi, Brother Qian Chen could only comprehend a common cultivation method to refine primordial qi with his own wisdom, at most pushing it to Core Formation, and not necessarily achieving a top-grade core.

But if wisdom deviated and comprehended in the direction of the Demon Dao!

A kind of primordial qi, he could turn into thousands of kinds of deadly poisons targeting various lives, thousands of kinds of pollution targeting various environments, thousands of kinds of filth targeting other primordial qi... He could also comprehend all kinds of destruction, ruin, decay, nothingness of this primordial qi, and comprehend all kinds of principles of material collapse and primordial qi extinction.

Each one could move toward an extremely profound realm of the Demon Dao, and each one could deduce countless terrifying cultivation methods!

Source of the Demon Dao—well-deserved!

The wisdom refined by the Mani Bead is often indifferent to evil or light, because wisdom is relatively pure. Even destruction, killing, twisting, and chaos are just a way of thinking for the Mani Bead to pursue the path of Prajna Paramita in general, and will not deviate from the foundation.

Just like a Buddhist great power, who can stand from the perspective of a butcher and think about how to kill better, but this kind of thinking is only a part of his wisdom, and instead will become some help for him to realize equality of all living beings and realize compassion.

Therefore, there are Bone Observation, Impurity Observation...

But the founder of the "Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws" would never have thought that someone's essence could be so evil. There was not much normal cognition, and once it went toward evil, killing, destruction, chaos, and twisting, inspiration would be endless, and wisdom would be infinite!

The Dao Chen Zhu, which he regarded as the embodiment of wisdom, actually contained such a bad essence!

Just as the constantly condensing Mani Beads were becoming pitch-black and radiating dense demonic qi, crashing into the bottom of Brother Qian Chen's heart like rolling marbles in a compass.

Yan Shu bit the tip of his tongue, and a sharp shout containing the true meaning of the Daoist sect suddenly woke Brother Qian Chen up—

"Qian Shidi, wake up!"

Brother Qian Chen woke up suddenly and stopped reciting the scripture. He opened his eyes and looked at the Pingshu Blessed Land.

In an instant, the wisdom to refine primordial energy into deadly poison, filth, pollution, radiation, and distortion; the various methods of slaughter, destruction, and nothingness for all things; the various ways to process people in a single thought, skinning them, extracting their bones, and refining their souls; and countless ways to turn the impossible into the possible surged into his mind!

His eyes reflected an infinitely terrifying world!

Brother Qian Chen hurriedly broke free from this feeling, the Dao Chen Zhu in his main body trembled slightly, emitting wisps of light, shattering all the Mani Beads he had condensed, and abolishing the "Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws" he had just practiced!

"Oh my..."

Brother Qian Chen was terrified at this moment: "Why is this 'Wisdom Scripture of Penetrating All Laws' so evil?"

Yan Shu's face was strange: "Qian Shidi, I don't think it's the scripture that's evil, it's you who are somewhat..."

Ning Ning Shimei Si put down the canopy covering the divine domain palace and sighed: "Yan Yan Shixiong, you definitely have a problem!"

"Ning Ning Shimei Ning?" Seeing that both fellow Daoists said so, Brother Qian Chen had no choice but to look at Ning Ning Qingchen for help, only to see Ning Ning Qingchen holding the big yellow chicken, looking at Brother Qian Chen with an expression of deep agreement in her eyes, and Feng Shi was also nodding constantly in her arms!
