The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 30 Strange Phenomena in the Sea of ​​Bitterness
'Unfortunately, this other shore is not the same as the other shore!'

With a sigh, Zhong Xu suppressed the thought and slowly began to circulate the profound technique recorded in the Daoist scriptures.

The sea of ​​suffering is filled with endless desolation, while the wheel of life, connected by the eye of the life spring, contains abundant vitality. The two are like the yin and yang of the Great Dao, forming a Tai Chi.

The profound principles of Taoism recorded in the Tao Te Ching flowed through Zhong Xu's mind, causing his sea of ​​suffering and the wheel of life to form a mysterious whole, and causing the entire secret realm of the sea of ​​life to undergo subtle adjustments and transformations.

Wow

A sound like ocean waves arose, and streams of rich life force surged from the Spring of Life, flowing through his limbs and bones, cleansing his body, tempering his bones, and strengthening his physique.

Zhong Xu sat cross-legged on the meditation bed, his body shimmering with a crystalline divine light. His flesh and blood were spotless and immaculate, like the skin and bones of an immortal, yet he was filled with boundless power.

Buzz

After an unknown amount of time, feeling himself reach a certain limit, Zhong Xu slowly opened his eyes.

A bright light flashed, and a vast aura rose from his body, causing the entire room to shake.

At this moment, Zhong Xu's body was surging with energy, as if his blood and qi were burning, giving people the feeling of a burning furnace.

Moreover, perhaps due to the enhancement of his physical strength and life essence, he felt that the circulation speed of the Great Brahma Prajna within his body had also increased.

There's a sense that the two cultivation systems complement each other.

'I never imagined that practicing two different systems could have such benefits. Is this the system of using one's own body as a seed? Truly powerful!'

Clenching his fist, Zhong Xu felt a surge of powerful blood energy flowing through his body, and every muscle in his body was filled with immense strength.

As expected of a combat system designed specifically for battle, this pure and fierce power made him feel very safe.

Actually, the art style of "Great Mighty Dragon" is quite good too!

The thought suddenly popped into Zhong Xu's mind, and he quickly shook his head to dispel it.

'No, I can't change my original intention. The style of a sword immortal in white robes suits me better!'

With his mind racing, it took Zhong Xu a long while to suppress his distracting thoughts, calm his aura, and focus his mind on his own sea of ​​suffering.

The Sea of ​​Bitterness is deep and silent, with a hint of holiness in its depths. At its very center is a spring that exudes the breath of life, connecting to the wheel of life deep within the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Ripples emanated from the spring, transforming into a gentle life force that lingered above the sea of ​​suffering, adding a touch of nature and vitality to the otherwise desolate place.

'Life and death, or rather, yin and yang—this is the essential mystery of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. No wonder the Daoist Scripture is hailed as the most advanced foundation-building method in the entire universe. Perhaps in the future, I will truly be able to balance the Buddhist and demonic will within my body using the Daoist principles of Tai Chi and Yin and Yang contained in the Daoist Scripture.'

Having briefly grasped the meaning of life and death contained within the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Wheel of Life, Zhong Xu focused his mind on the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

At this moment, countless mists rose and fell above his sea of ​​suffering. In the hazy distance, endless time and space overlapped, forming a vast and boundless ancient celestial realm with countless layers.

At the very top of the ancient celestial realm stood a hazy yet majestic and noble figure, surrounded by countless immortals and gods.

'Is this my own vision of the sea of ​​consciousness?'

Looking at the vast and hazy scene surrounding his own sea of ​​suffering, Zhong Xu had a sudden realization.

The so-called "extraordinary phenomena" are powerful supernatural abilities, similar to secret techniques, within the cultivation system of the Shrouding the Heavens universe. Each extraordinary phenomenon possesses immense power and can even help cultivators fight beyond their level.

For example, Ye Fan's brother-in-law, Ji Haoyue, the divine body of the Eastern Wilderness, possessed the phenomenon of "a bright moon rising from the sea" in the Sea of ​​Wheels, and Yan Ruyu, a descendant of the Azure Emperor, displayed the phenomenon of "a golden lotus growing in a sea of ​​bitterness" in the Sea of ​​Wheels, and so on.

Some of these phenomena related to the Sea of ​​Wheels are innate, possessed by individuals with special constitutions, such as Ye Fan's innate Golden Sea of ​​Bitterness, while others can be acquired through cultivation, such as the Peacock King's 'Starry Sky Shining Through the Nine Heavens'. It can be said that the presence or absence of a phenomenon related to the Sea of ​​Wheels is, to some extent, the dividing line between geniuses and ordinary cultivators.

Zhong Xu never expected that he would also have his own unique phenomenon of the sea of ​​reincarnation, and that it was finally not related to Buddhism.

'Anomalous vision.'

Looking at the majestic figure in the picture, surrounded by many immortals and gods, standing tall in the ancient celestial realm, Zhong Xu's heart trembled slightly, and he felt an indescribable thrill.

'Donghuang Taiyi, one of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity?'

Following his intuition, Zhong Xu merged his mind with that hazy yet majestic figure, becoming one with it.

Rumble

An endless roar resounded, and the entire Sea of ​​Bitterness began to surge violently, with myriad divine lights flowing and endless radiance emerging.

In an instant, the hazy divine light surrounding this imposing figure dissipated, revealing a face similar to Zhong Xu's, only with a more lofty and ethereal aura, as well as a more noble and ancient presence, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

Zhong Xu's mind went into a daze, as if his vision had been infinitely elevated, taking in the entire universe and becoming the supreme Heavenly Emperor who stood above all the heavens and suppressed all the universes.

Countless insights surfaced in his mind, giving him the illusion that he had everything under control.

The feeling was so wonderful that his consciousness was completely immersed in this special state, unable to extricate himself.

In a daze, he seemed to meet a pair of eyes that had witnessed the opening and destruction of countless eras and the rise and fall of countless civilizations, and received a message that he could not understand at all.

thud

Just then, a clear and melodious bell rang out, echoing in Zhong Xu's mind and instantly waking him up.

His consciousness returned abruptly, and Zhong Xu focused his attention on the strange phenomenon in his sea of ​​consciousness, discovering that the face of the majestic figure standing in the ancient celestial realm had become his own.

'It really is the strange phenomenon I've been experiencing!'

'A strange phenomenon related to the ancient emperor Donghuang Taiyi has actually formed within my Sea of ​​Wheels secret realm!'

Is it because of the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell?

'I wonder how it compares to the famous anomalies of the Shrouding the Heavens universe; I must find an opportunity to test it out in the future.'

Thoughts raced through his mind, and after an unknown amount of time, Zhong Xu's mind stirred slightly, focusing his consciousness on the very center of the sea of ​​suffering.

Above the Life Spring at the very center of the Bitter Sea, a phantom image of an ancient and weathered bronze bell floats. Only the most core fragment is real, exuding an extremely profound Dao energy.

'Eastern Emperor Bell'

Should I choose this object as my destined possession?

In the cultivation system of the Heaven-Covering Technique, when a cultivator is in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, divine runes will be born in their body.

These divine runes are primordial divine chains formed from one's own essence, energy, and spirit. They are perfectly compatible with oneself and can be refined into various divine weapons, serving as the prototype of one's own natal weapon.

When cultivators find various divine materials and metals in the future, they can integrate these divine patterns into them, weaving their own Dao and truly forging their own natal weapon.

As one's cultivation level continues to improve, this natal artifact carries one's own Great Dao and can grow stronger along with oneself, almost equivalent to half of one's own body.
