Chapter 234 Han Li returns to the golden body of Tathagata...
The country of Shayun is a desert land.
Amidst the dark wind and flying sand, a figure slowly crept forward.
This person looked like a young man in his twenties, with ordinary looks, dark skin, and wearing a half-worn green robe. He also carried a yellow bamboo tube about a foot long on his back.
He was none other than Han Li, who had returned from the Far West. His cultivation had broken through to the early Nascent Soul stage, and his temperament was much calmer than before.
"Han kid, we are almost back to Tiannan. Now can you tell me who ordered you to do everything?"
An old voice suddenly came into Han Li's sea of consciousness.
Han Li's face turned serious, and he shook his head and said, "I owe you a favor, so I was able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but I have promised that person to keep it a secret. When I return to Yue Country and meet you, you will naturally know the truth."
Twenty years ago, he accepted a promise in exchange for a piece of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to refine his life-saving magic weapon, the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword. He thought that his chance of conceiving a baby was gone.
Unexpectedly, the old monster in the yellow bamboo tube was a man who had lived for tens of thousands of years. He was also the founder of the Thousand Bamboo Sect in the Far West and knew countless secrets.
Under the guidance of Lord Dayan, Han Li found an opportunity to form a baby, which led to his current achievements.
Moreover, the seventy-two Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords were successfully refined and placed in the Dantian for nurturing.
The two major issues were resolved, and Han Li's thoughts became clear instantly. He often looked as if he was in spring breeze.
The only thing I am uncertain about is Qi Yuan, Senior Brother Qi.
So much time has passed, Brother Qi’s cultivation shouldn’t have made any breakthroughs, right?
In this way, when they meet, Han Li will be more confident.
The Great Evolution God said coldly: "We have an agreement. If that person does something bad to me, you must stop him, Han. Don't forget that I taught you the first few levels of the Great Evolution Technique and guided you to find an opportunity to form an infant."
The reason why Lord Dayan was wary was because Han Li knew his existence and how to guard against attacks using the Seven Emotions Sutra very well.
Then, after indirect inquiry, he found out that it was the person who instructed Han Li to report it.
For a moment, the old fellow Dayan Shenjun was shocked.
His physical body died ten thousand years ago, leaving only his soul possessed in a puppet. No one, not even the disciples of Qianzhu Sect, knew about it.
How did a cultivator far away in the Kingdom of Yue in Tiannan know this?
How could this not worry him?
Han Li heard this and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, senior. I will do my best to keep you safe."
An inn stood at the edge of the desert, with monks often coming in and out.
"Dragon Gate Inn."
Han Li took a casual look, whispered, and then stepped in.
He had been walking in the desert in the far west for too long. With his Nascent Soul stage, he was not in danger, but he was inevitably tired, so he planned to rest for a while.
By the way, listen to the news discussed by the monks who come and go.
After finding a clean place to sit down, Han Li relied on his powerful spiritual sense to easily tear open the soundproofing barrier and eavesdrop without anyone noticing.
"Have you heard? The spiritual energy phenomenon in the Yellow Maple Valley of Yue Kingdom has disappeared."
A monk with a big mole on the right side of his face said.
A companion at the side echoed: "The spiritual energy phenomenon in the Yellow Maple Valley has lasted for nearly twenty years. There are rumors that the four major alliances sent people to investigate and found out that it was caused by Qi Yuan, the ruler of Yue State. Since then, there has been no major action."
“Well, Senior Qi is really a man of the hour. He disappeared when he was weak, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the Nascent Soul stage, with a Level Nine demon by his side. When the Kingdom of Yue was in danger, he fought back the old demon Hehuan and took control of the Kingdom of Yue. Later, he challenged Master Zhiyang and took back many cultivation resources. He then conquered the two countries of Yuanwu and Zijin, which shocked Tiannan in one fell swoop. It’s no surprise that he made such a fuss.”
The female cultivator who was traveling with him said with a look of admiration.
Upon hearing this, the other two companions also showed envious looks and wished they could be the protagonists instead.
From then on, he was on par with the three great monks.
However, Han Li, who was sitting not far away, was shocked after hearing this, and the excitement in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
What? Senior Brother Qi, with his Nascent Soul early stage cultivation, dares to fight against a Nascent Soul late stage cultivator...
If it were him, he would have probably run away at the first moment.
Listening to what those people said, he even took the initiative to fight with Master Zhiyang. Brother Qi was really too bold.
Today, Senior Brother Qi has transformed himself into someone who controls several countries and his status is much higher than his.
Han Li felt quite bitter in his heart. The joy of having just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage was instantly diluted a lot, and on top of that, the spiritual energy phenomenon in the Huangfeng Valley had lasted for more than twenty years.
I guess Senior Brother Qi's cultivation has improved again.
That would be even more depressing.
"Hey, Han kid, that person couldn't be Qi Yuan, right?"
Lord Dayan observed the expression and said.
Han Li did not respond, but just drank his tea quietly.
This actually confirmed the problem of Dayan Divine Lord.
A moment later, Han Li turned into a green rainbow and flew towards the State of Yue, carrying the yellow bamboo tube on his back.
……
Yellow Maple Valley, retreat room.
After spending several years, Qi Yuan mastered the Five Elements Reverse Spiritual Gate and Five Elements All Changes Magical Powers to perfection.
Now, once they are used, the power of the two magical powers is already very obvious, and they can be used to fight against cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.
Only the Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi, one of the Thirty-Six Tiangang Techniques, made slow progress and never reached perfection, lacking a lot of skill.
During these twenty years, the Blood Curse of All Desires erupted several times, interrupting Qi Yuan's forced practice and delaying some of his practice time.
Fortunately, all the women were in the cave and the crisis was resolved.
This indirectly caused the women to be unable to concentrate on their practice, and their progress slowed down a lot.
Qi Yuan thought about it and realized that the danger of the Blood Curse of All Desires far outweighed the evil spirit in his body, so before coming out of seclusion, he decided to practice the Vairocana Tathagata method.
This Buddhist secret method has been kept in his storage bag ever since he obtained it in Xutian Palace.
He had read the contents of the mental method a long time ago, which only contained the first to third levels of cultivation methods, and attached two Buddhist magical powers.
If one can successfully cultivate, the first level of the mental method can directly condense the Nascent Soul, eliminating hundreds of years of hard training and giving people a feeling of becoming a Buddha instantly.
The magical power is the Demon Subduing Vajra Fist, which can destroy all demons with one punch, and the angry eyes of Vajra can wipe out all the demons.
Suitable for practice in the Nascent Soul stage.
The remaining Vairocana Palm is of a higher level and one needs to reach the Spirit Transformation Stage before being qualified to practice it.
Once this magical power is released, it can lock the enemy's body, leaving him nowhere to escape, and can often destroy the enemy with one palm.
It is applicable to all living things and is no longer limited to demons.
Qi Yuan took out the jade slip of the Vairocana Tathagata's Dharma from his storage bag. Thinking that Xutian Palace was most likely the work of Fairy Bingpo ten thousand years ago, there shouldn't be any big problems with the Dharma.
He crushed the jade slip with one hand and it turned into powder in an instant.
Countless golden Sanskrit words with profound Buddhist nature floated in the air, neatly listing a method of practice.
For a moment, Buddhist chants were chanted softly in the secret room, and bathing in the warm Buddha's light, it felt like being in the Buddha's kingdom, with Buddhas surrounding me.
Qi Yuan's gaze was fixed, and his mind moved slightly.
I saw the golden light and Sanskrit characters rippling out, rushing towards the center of the eyebrows and disappearing quickly.
The secret room fell into silence.
Instead, three thousand Buddhas emerged from Qi Yuan's sea of consciousness, coiled in the void, constantly chanting the profound and mysterious Buddhist teachings.
The sound of the Buddha penetrated into his soul, but he did not feel any benefit. Instead, he began to feel his soul was about to collapse. Damn, he was not the destined one...
Qi Yuan cursed inwardly, thinking about stopping immediately and stopping practicing the Vairocana Tathagata method, otherwise if he continued to practice forcefully, his soul would be torn into pieces.
Suddenly, the Chaos Cauldron deep in the soul stomped its feet. The legs of the cauldron trembled a few times, and the soul suddenly became extremely solid, while absorbing the Buddhist sounds chanted by three thousand Buddhas.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The Dharmakaya of Vairocana Tathagata.
hum!
All I heard was a loud roar that sounded like the sound of deafening heaven.
Qi Yuan sat cross-legged on a cushion, his face peaceful, his eyes closed, and a friendly smile.
Pure golden Buddha light emanates from his body, which is solemn, sacred, pure and dazzling.
The Buddha's light gathered behind him like flowing water.
The next second, a golden Buddha figure condensed, his appearance was very solemn, and endless Buddha light enveloped Qi Yuan's figure.
The shadow of the Buddha's golden body is translucent, about 15 feet tall, and its waist is as thick as a millstone.
And the Buddha had six arms, all as thick as elephant legs.
The two arms at the bottom were holding profound Buddhist seals in front of the body, one pointing to the sky and the other to the ground.
The aura is extremely mysterious, as if it exists forever.
The golden shadow of the Buddha sitting cross-legged on the body gives people a sense of immortality and indestructibility. Even if the human world collapses, it still feels the same.
done?
Qi Yuan opened his eyes and felt the evil spirit in his body quickly dissipating. The blood-red magic light of the blood curse of desire planted by the ancient demon also dimmed a lot.
I don't think it will explode in the short term.
However, even though he cultivated the Vairocana Tathagata method, he still could not erase the curse. He wondered if it was because the ancient demon's original cultivation was too high, or because his realm was too low?
It can’t be a problem with the Buddhist philosophy…
Gazing inside the body, the Nascent Soul was still sitting cross-legged in the void, with colorful light flowing down layer by layer, but there was an additional golden swastika in the center of the chest, and a Buddha halo appeared behind the head, following closely.
As long as there was no extra Buddhist or Taoist Nascent Soul, Qi Yuan felt very relieved. But then he thought again, he remembered that he almost failed.
It was the Chaos Cauldron that helped him consolidate his spirit and absorb the baptism of three thousand Buddhas.
In this way, wouldn't he be robbing a Buddhist of his supreme opportunity?
It’s a sin, it’s a sin. He doesn’t mind having too many opportunities.
Since the practice of Vairocana Tathagata's method has been successful, the day of coming out of retreat is just around the corner.
Qi Yuan restrained his breath, and the pure golden Buddha light suddenly dissipated. He removed the restriction and walked outside.
After years of seclusion, he went to take a bath first.
Then he went to the front hall.
Through spiritual sense perception, he discovered that Han Li had returned.
"Sir, are you out of seclusion?"
Yanli was greeting guests in the front hall when she suddenly saw a familiar figure. She said happily, "This senior Han is here to see you, young master. I was just about to decline and ask you to come back another day."
The middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Han Li's pupils trembled when he saw the person coming. He smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Qi, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. Your cultivation has improved a lot."
"Junior Brother Han is not bad either. He is also in the early Nascent Soul stage." Qi Yuan looked at the yellow bamboo tube behind Han Li and smiled with satisfaction.
This kid is quite reliable and he didn't take Dayan Shenjun Run with him. Not bad.
Han Li noticed that the other party was staring at the yellow bamboo tube, and he understood what he meant. He turned the bamboo tube over, held it in his hand, and said, "I have fulfilled my promise and brought it back to Senior Brother Qi."
Then he said, "Junior brother, I dare to ask, Senior Brother Qi, what do you want the people inside for?"
"Don't worry, Junior Brother Han. All I want is the treasure and the secret method." Qi Yuan said this not only to Han Li, but also to Lord Dayan.
Take the opportunity to eliminate more defenses.
Han Li's face turned serious and after a moment of silence, he threw the yellow bamboo tube in his hand over.
Qi Yuan took the yellow bamboo tube and casually set up a soundproof ban. His lips moved slightly, "I only want two things, the last three levels of the Great Evolution Technique and your puppet making method. What are the conditions? Even if you want to take over another body and be reborn, I can help you plan."
"Fellow Daoist, do you know the Great Evolution Technique? Who are you?"
Dayan God asked back in surprise.
Qi Yuan said: "You don't need to care who I am. I have nothing to do with Qianzhu Sect and you, Lord Dayan. Just consider what I said above."
Huang Zhutong was silent for a while before Dayan Divine Lord spoke: "Your origins are mysterious, so I will not continue to explore. I can teach you the next three levels of Dayan Jue, but the puppet making method has not been completely perfected yet. I am afraid that I don't have enough time to complete it in my situation."
Qi Yuan took out a bead made of the Soul-Nourishing Divine Tree and threw it directly into the yellow bamboo tube, saying, "This is a treasure made of the Soul-Nourishing Divine Tree. It can extend your life for several decades."
"The Soul-Nourishing Divine Tree? Daoist friend, you have made very thorough preparations."
There was something hidden in the words of Lord Dayan.
Whether it was commanding Han Li to find him or the importance of the Soul-Nourishing Divine Tree to him, both hit the key points.
The reasons behind this are truly thought-provoking.
Qi Yuan smiled and did not answer.
"Daoyou, please throw in a blank jade slip." said Dayan Divine Lord.
Qi Yuan agreed to his request and threw the blank jade slip in.
About half an incense stick.
A white light spurted out of the yellow bamboo tube, which turned out to be a jade slip.
Qi Yuan stretched out his hand and the jade slip automatically flew into his hand. His spiritual consciousness invaded it to check the authenticity of the Dayan Jue.
I couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment.
After all, Lord Dayan is a thousand-year-old monster, so it would be easy for him to do something and conceal his tracks.
If there really is a problem, I will then seek settlement with Lord Dayan.
Qi Yuan said: "Daoyou have several decades to think about it. When your life is coming to an end and you want to survive, come find me. As for the method of making puppets, don't forget it."
“Hehe, fellow Daoist, your magical power is like the abyss, I dare not deceive you.” Lord Dayan chuckled.
With his strong consciousness and eyesight, he could naturally sense how powerful the person in front of him was, so he was less cunning.
If his cultivation level is like Han's, he might have to fool around a little to test his depth.
Han Li sat upright, looking forward from time to time. Although he could not hear any sound, he could tell whether Senior Brother Qi was doing well or not from his expression.
Fortunately, Senior Brother Qi did not look upset the whole time, so Lord Dayan was safe.
His thoughts turned, and thinking about Qi Yuan's current status, he felt quite a headache. At least he was still a disciple of Huangfeng Valley.
If, as in the original novel, the six sects of Yue Kingdom were defeated by the six sects of the Demonic Path, in order to preserve their elite disciples and retreat, they would deliberately sell out some of their inferior disciples to serve as bait.
Naturally it is unpopular.
Han Li was the lucky man who was sold out by Patriarch Linghu in the original novel, so he was determined not to return to Huangfeng Valley later.
Now the situation of the six factions of Yue Kingdom being defeated did not happen, and Han Li was not sold out by Huangfeng Valley.
At the moment, Han Li couldn’t say that he hated Huang Feng Valley. In fact, he had some affection for it because it was the first immortal cultivation sect he joined.
However, the shadow cast by Qi Yuan had a great impact on him. He did not want to stay in Huangfeng Valley and be inferior to others, so he felt conflicted.
Should I go or stay later?
