Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Furthermore, the Half-Side Divine Nun who presides over Wudang is herself from Kunlun. Although Kunlun is not well-known now, it lives alone outside the Great Wall, and its members are extremely pure. Is this also to prevent it from being 'contaminated' by the Emei Sect?

But without a powerful Golden Immortal like their patriarch to protect them, how long can Wudang and Kunlun hold out?

damn it!

With tens of thousands of years of cultivation in this realm, it's impossible that Wudang and Kunlun have no Golden Immortals. The fact that no Golden Immortals have descended to the mortal realm yet suggests that those powerful beings who ascended to the Spirit Void Immortal Realm have all been 'eaten'!

So, long eyebrows also...

The one from the South China Sea is right there, but Emei is turning a blind eye; while we, these otherworldly 'disasters,' are having a blast... Hiss, this level of understanding is incomprehensible!

It now seems that the future of this realm truly will be a struggle between the one from the South China Sea and the Lingkong Immortal Realm.

Below them were the group of people including Changmei and Ancestor Li Jingxu; then came Master, Uncle Zhu Mei, Master Miaoyi Qi Shuming, and a group of reclusive old monks from the Buddhist sect; and then came us, the little shrimps.

The patriarch's previous statement clearly indicates that during the period we were unaware of, he chose to side with that particular person.

So, could I ask that person for help to guide my master on a path forward? I just need a reference point.

Ah! I should have thought of that sooner.

Since the magical artifact in that person's hand is suspected to be the Vajra Bracelet, it must be related to the Taiqing lineage. In the end, it's just a family dispute over property!

It's just that this wealth is a bit too large, a bit too much; it represents dominance in the world.

……

In an instant, Yan Shisan's thoughts raced, a whole host of random ideas popping into his head.

Jiang Shu shook his head, patted his shoulder, and said, "There's no point in thinking about it now. You should try to form your Yuan Dan as soon as possible using the Qingcheng Heart Sutra. When that happens, the patriarch will naturally open the way forward. Once you've fused the two true scriptures, with the Zhou Tian Hun Yuan True Scripture as the main one and the Qingcheng Sword Scripture as the auxiliary one, the way forward will naturally open up."

Yan Shisan nodded, feeling increasingly pressed for time as he thought about it. He immediately bid farewell to his master Jiang Shu and returned to his cave to go into seclusion.

………………

After several days of flying and traversing the depths of the South China Sea, Li Xiaochen finally returned to the vicinity of Su Yuchen's cave.

Before she could find the entrance to the cave, she saw a door of light open gracefully in front of her.

"It's really starting to feel more and more like a game. Does this 'NPC' have some kind of means to observe the surroundings? Or has it set up an array that covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles around the sea? Or has it been monitoring me all along?"

In a flash, Li Xiaochen thought of many things, but despite her thoughts, she stepped through the portal without hesitation and disappeared into the sea.

In a flash, when he reappeared, Li Xiaochen saw the Taoist still sitting cross-legged, as if he would never change his posture for ten thousand years.

"Greetings, senior. I have fulfilled my mission and obtained two magical treasures from the depths of that island."

As Li Xiaochen spoke, he pushed with both hands, and a blood-flame lotus flower and a Buddhist talisman flew out, floating in front of Su Yuchen.

Su Yuchen smiled, letting the two magical treasures float in front of him, and looked at Li Xiaochen, saying, "Magic treasures and divine weapons are good, but they are ultimately just external things. The greatest gain is that you can take this opportunity to comprehend the unity of Buddha and demon and truly cultivate the 'Formless Asura Blade Scripture'."

Li Xiaochen said:

"I must thank you for your guidance, senior. I am dull-witted and never expected that you had already revealed the core principles of this true scripture."

"Life and death are beyond our control. I only managed to return by chance, thanks to the opportunity I gained while hovering on the edge of life and death."

Su Yuchen pointed to the Buddha Light Decree, and a circle of pale golden Buddha light rippled out, filling the room with Buddhist chants. A reclining Buddha phantom lay in the center of the cave, passing through Li Xiaochen.

"This is the Buddhist Mind Light Mantra, a treasure of a great Buddhist master. The greatest gain is to comprehend a Buddhist mind seal through it."

“I told you before, the ‘Formless Asura Blade Scripture’ you’ve learned is outwardly a Buddhist robe, but inwardly it cultivates the Asura Heavenly Fiend Blade Qi. Its essence is the Asura Path, and Buddhism is merely an outward manifestation.”

"It is all because this divine skill cannot comprehend the Buddhist mind seal, so that my heart is like light, clear inside and out like crystal, and as stable and unmoving as Mount Sumeru."

Li Xiaochen hesitated for a moment, then said, "According to what you said, senior, if someone as dull-witted as me wants to comprehend the Heart Seal, wouldn't I have to enter the Buddhist sect?"

Su Yuchen waved his hand and said, "If you rely on yourself, you will naturally have to renounce the mortal world and enter the Buddhist order in order to understand the Buddhist teachings in this decree."

“But you brought this decree to repay me for the cultivation method I gave you, right? Then I will naturally consider all the difficulties involved.”

As he spoke, a golden statue, eighteen feet tall, rose up behind Su Yuchen, its boundless Buddhist light spreading into the depths of the void, yet it was restrained by Su Yuchen to a radius of three feet around his body.

As Li Xiaochen watched this scene, his gaze met Su Yuchen's, and it was as if he had traveled from an underwater cave to the Pure Land of Bliss. Boundless Buddhist light transformed into golden glazed tiles covering the ground, and in the center of the Pure Land, a golden Buddha statue stood motionless in the void, unmoving, indestructible, and eternal.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Xiaochen was drawn to the golden statue of Buddha. With each ripple of Buddha's light, he could feel the Buddha's great compassion and mercy, his intention to save all beings from suffering and lead them to rebirth in the Pure Land.

With his right hand forming a mudra, the golden body caused the formless Asura Blade Qi within Li Xiaochen's body to move naturally. The reversed true energy transformed into Buddhist light, resonating with the golden body. Li Xiaochen closed his eyes, binding the Lion Seal externally and the Glazed Heart Seal internally.

As she truly entered the realm of Buddhism, her body shone with a Buddha-light as clear as crystal. The remaining Asura energy was not only not dispelled, but under the guidance of the Lion Seal, it helped her refine it into her body, moving her towards an indestructible body.

Inside his body, as Li Xiaochen comprehended the Glazed Heart Seal, his true energy automatically transformed into a peculiar true energy that was neither demonic nor Buddhist, yet both. It was filled with pale golden Buddhist true energy and silvery-white Asura energy running parallel, each containing the other, subduing the heretics with a Glazed Heart.

As Li Xiaochen entered into meditation, under the guidance of the Tathagata Palm, a faint phantom image formed in his sea of ​​consciousness—it was Li Xiaochen himself.

This 'self' is exceptionally beautiful, so beautiful that one glance would unknowingly lead one to fall into its spell, yet one cannot feel the slightest thought of desecration, simply because its beauty is only on the outside, while its inner self is dignified and solemn.

"The Sutra of the Formless Asura's Questions to the Heart!"

The moment he saw the phantom, a scripture flowed through Li Xiaochen's heart. His true energy seemed unchanged, yet it was completely transformed. In addition to the original Asura Blade Qi, the great power of Buddhism to save all sentient beings was added.

Externally, it uses the Lion Seal to subdue the Asura heretics and uses the physical power of the Asura Heavenly Fiend Blade to guide them; internally, it forms the Lapis Lazuli Subduing Demon Seal to guide all beings, enlighten them to the light of the mind, and lead them to Buddhism.

With a single thought, true energy merges with the mind's imprint, generating a natural response. All true energy returns to the dantian, and a pale golden elixir mixed with wisps of silver sword intent naturally forms.

Once the Yuan Dan is formed, the Asura Buddha body responds spontaneously, becoming one with the Buddha, drawing in boundless malevolent energy and Buddhist light to circulate throughout the body and refine itself.

Li Xiaochen suddenly realized that this true scripture required him to convert both the Buddhist and demonic sects! The more he converted, the faster his own cultivation would progress.

"If I can convert eighteen Buddhist Yuan Dan cultivators and eighteen demonic Yuan Dan cultivators, I will not only gain thirty-six Dharma protectors, but I can also use this opportunity to refine their true energy and help me enter the Nascent Soul realm."

"Moreover, their true energy, after being refined by me, is not only beneficial but also harmless. From then on, they are free to be either Buddha or demon, neither Buddha nor demon, but both Buddha and demon, two sides of the same coin, acting as they please."

“These people are not only resources for my spiritual practice, but also a reflection of all that I have learned, so that I will not go astray.”

The more Li Xiaochen cultivated, the more he felt that this true scripture had many benefits and extremely high ideals. In the end, it even had the possibility of allowing him to open a new path and become a Buddha or an ancestor.

Chapter 654 The Choice of Little Monk Xuanzhu

As Li Xiaochen comprehended the cultivation method, Su Yuchen waved his sleeve and moved her to another quiet room to cultivate.

As Li Xiaochen left, wisps of chaotic mist rose around Su Yuchen, and a phantom image of a long, illusory river quietly appeared.

As Su Yuchen's gaze moved downwards, in the future of this world's long river of time, the Buddhist path of enlightenment was gradually replaced by Li Xiaochen's Asura King Buddhist path.

Moreover, due to the profit-driven and terrifying nature of the "Earth's natural disasters," millions of "players" who practiced the "Formless Asura Heart Sutra" threw the Buddhist enlightenment teachings of this world into the dustbin of history, making them part of this world's past.

The authority belonging to the 'Supreme Myriad Manifestations Primordial Martial Great Dao Lord' moved spontaneously. The hidden hand left by the Dao Ancestor's other self in Buddhism was thus replaced by Su Yuchen. The Supreme authority moved spontaneously, silently and naturally, becoming the future foundation of Buddhism in this world.

As the future foundation and authority of Buddhism in this world were permeated by the Supreme Being, the conceptual attributes of the authority of all phenomena became blurred. The authority of the Supreme Being spread from the future to the past of this world, and the true enlightenment of Buddhism was once again permeated by the authority of the Supreme Being. At this moment, the past and future of all the foundations of Buddhism were united in Su Yuchen's hands.

The Supreme Authority is the foundation of all existence. In the realm of demons, it is the Supreme Heavenly Demon Ancestor, capable of transforming everything; in the realm of the Dao, it is the Dao Ancestor Heavenly Venerable, capable of altering the foundation of all existence; the Authority of All Phenomena is the essence of all things, capable of obscuring all concepts of existence.

All the past and future of Buddhism in this world became one of the foundations for Su Yuchen's control over the world. At this moment, Su Yuchen's gaze was deep and far-reaching, and he 'saw' the Dao Ancestor's thoughts of self and other, who was sitting high in the Spirit Void Immortal Realm. However, the other party was completely unaware of this and did not even realize that a part of his existence had been influenced by Su Yuchen.

"The highest principle is non-action, therefore nothing is left undone!"

At this moment, Su Yuchen realized the terrifying power of the supreme authority.

………………

The Eastern Abyss of the Southern Barbarians.

This place was left behind by several powerful celestial beings in the past. Looking down from the sky, one can see that the once flat and mountainous land has been split open as if by an eye.

Its eyes are hundreds of kilometers long and tens of kilometers wide, and when you look into them, they are unfathomably deep.

Above the abyss, wisps of seven-colored light drifted like clouds and mist. At first glance, they seemed exceptionally beautiful, like a fairyland. But if you looked at them for a long time, you would feel your six desires bursting forth, and all the unsavory and evil desires hidden in your heart would burn like flames.

Those wisps of seven-colored clouds were actually the 'Sea of ​​Sinful Love Flower Array' set up by several celestial beings and powerful cultivators in the past, who gathered rare and precious materials and refined them into an array that could attract the seven emotions and six desires of sentient beings.

The number of living beings in the world is countless, and the greed, anger, and ignorance in people's hearts are so strong and inexhaustible. Therefore, this formation has accumulated poisons of the seven emotions and six desires over thousands of years, which even celestial beings and great powers would keep at a distance.

It is said that when this formation is activated, the entire area within a radius of three thousand miles is shrouded in the Sea of ​​Sin, and the poison of the seven emotions and six desires surges like the waves of the sea. Above the Sea of ​​Sin, there are flowers of the seven emotions and fruits of the six desires. A single glance can cause a Nascent Soul cultivator to fall into despair, and a single bite can cause an Earth Immortal to fall into a dream of lust from which they cannot extricate themselves.

It is said that Qi Jinchan, the son of the former Emei Sect leader, "Master Miaoyi Qi Shuming", did not believe in evil. He believed that his family had many magical treasures and that the Emei Sect's magical techniques were unparalleled. He used a celestial magic treasure to trigger the "Niehai Love Flower Array" to operate spontaneously.

Although later, someone wanted to teach a celestial being to stop the great formation in time, Qi Jinchan's Dao heart was clouded within the formation, and he had already voluntarily consumed the Love Flower Desire Fruit.

As a result, he became deeply entangled in the poison of the seven emotions and six desires, which seeped into his soul and he could not extricate himself. Qi Shuming racked his brains but to no avail and had no solution. Finally, on the advice of the ascetic monk, one of the three immortals of the East Sea, he borrowed a Buddhist treasure, the 'Bodhi Lotus Umbrella,' from the nun Xinru to protect his soul. He had no choice but to undergo physical liberation and reincarnate.

Moreover, because the poison seeped into his soul, he was reincarnated several times. Each time, a powerful immortal from the Emei Sect used a Buddhist treasure to cleanse his soul, which is why he was able to return to the Emei Sect in this life.

This is why the Emei Sect and the Human Desire Sect became mortal enemies.

Due to karmic entanglements, more than two hundred years ago, Qi Shuming, the leader of the Emei Sect, and Xun Lanyin, the Lady of Miaoyi, together with the Three Immortals of the East Sea and three golden-bodied Arhats from Buddhism, launched a surprise attack on the Human Desire Sect, carrying the Emei Mountain-Suppressing Formation, the "Two Elements Micro Dust Formation".

In that battle, the Human Desire Sect was caught off guard. The Two Elements Micro Dust Array contained Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed, forcibly pulling tens of thousands of miles of the eastern territory of the Southern Barbarians into the array. Eight Celestial Immortals fought fiercely, breaking through the Sea of ​​Sin and storming into the Human Desire Sect's headquarters.

It was around that time that Wu Nan Gong, who lived in Luoshen Ridge of Black Mountain, sensed something was wrong. He forcibly seized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from tens of thousands of miles away and attacked the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array from the outside with the 'Great Black Heaven Demon Hand'.

In addition, with the Demonic Sect experts eyeing the Emei Mountain Sect covetously, Qi Shuming dared not let Wu Nangong hold him back. He left the Two Elements Micro Dust Array outside for a long time, and hurriedly departed after a few dozen breaths.

However, after this battle, the two Celestial Immortals of the Human Desire Sect were seriously injured and died. The sect's high-end combat power was swept away by the Three Immortals of the East Sea, leaving only a group of underlings who survived under the protection of the 'Sinful Sea Love Flower Formation', thus avoiding the sect's annihilation.

The reason why the young monk Xuanzhu dared to choose the Human Desire Sect, which was protected by the Sinful Sea Love Flower Formation, was because in the past battle, the high-level members of the Human Desire Sect suffered heavy casualties and ended up in the same miserable state as Shaolin Temple. Now, the sect's highest-level combat power is only a few Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

………………

High in the sky, Xuanzhu, dressed in a monk's robe, was hidden behind the clouds. He looked down at the cultivators who were shuttling through the sea of ​​calamities and clouds. With just a glance, he knew that most of the people who came here were like him, Earth's natural disasters who were willing to court death.

During the era when the Emei Sect held sway over the world, only the Earth's natural disasters dared to disregard the Emei Sect, and would fight side by side for any benefit.

Even in its most destitute state, the Human Desire Sect had produced two Celestial Immortals, and its sect possessed no shortage of cultivation techniques and secret manuals; it simply lacked high-end combat power.

After the Earth's natural disasters, millions of female players joined the Human Desire Cult. With the explosion of information and their various insights, the Human Desire Cult was transformed from being universally condemned to now being regarded as the "mother-in-law of the cultivation world" in this realm.

The natural disasters have taken the art of using beautiful women to their extreme. It is said that apart from a few righteous sects, no other sect has a disciple of the Desire Sect marrying into their ranks.

Although Xuanzhu had never been here before, she had heard that in the current cultivation world, apart from Emei, Wudang, Kunlun, and Buddhism, almost all mid-to-high-level female cultivators, whether from unorthodox sects, independent cultivators, or even overseas cultivation circles, had inextricable ties with the Human Desire Sect.

Therefore, although the Human Desire Sect lacks high-end combat power, it has plenty of external support. While these people may not necessarily fight to the death for the Human Desire Sect, their willingness to step forward at crucial moments is enough to make most cultivation forces retreat.

The sect, which teaches the cultivation of the seven emotions and six desires, is also highly divided. Following the example of the seven tribes of the Southern Barbarians, the sect is also divided into seven emotion departments: joy, shock and anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and lust.

Of these seven divisions, the other six still have Nascent Soul Realm experts, while only the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator of the Heavenly Evil Division was killed by a Selfless Realm expert from overseas who had mastered the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light.

Xuanzhu the young monk's target is Su Rongrong, the chief disciple of the Heavenly Evil Division among the seven divisions, and the Earth Calamity at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm.

It is said that when this woman was on Earth, she was a madam in a certain small, obscure area, and even owned two ultra-high-end establishments in the famous Ginza district. She was known for having no man she couldn't win over.

After arriving in this world, by chance, she was also sweet-talking and beautiful, which made the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Heavenly Evil Department so that she inherited the "Heavenly Heart Desire Sea Scripture" of the Human Desire Sect.

After that Nascent Soul cultivator was killed, Su Rongrong underwent a drastic change in her mind in order to avenge her master. She comprehended a technique called "Heavenly Charm Desire Dream Technique" from the "Heavenly Heart Desire Sea Scripture". It is said that as long as people have any evil thoughts, they can be absorbed and transformed by the Heavenly Charm Desire Demon she has created.

That's why Su Rongrong was able to surpass others and cultivate to the peak of the Yuan Dan realm, even stepping halfway into the Yuan Ying realm, becoming an existence on par with the Three Heroes and Two Clouds of the Emei Sect.

Chapter 655 Heavenly Seduction Demon Art

In order to master the Heavenly Demon of Desire, Su Rongrong took advantage of the chaos of war in the mortal realm to gather countless displaced women and resume her work as a madam.

It was these women, under her tutelage, who attracted countless male cultivators and natural disaster victims to linger there.

These male cultivators, in turn, provided her with countless evil thoughts. Some of them had their evil thoughts amplified and their character changed drastically, turning them into evildoers.

Each of Su Rongrong's Heavenly Demonic Desires was born by absorbing the evil thoughts of others, that is, by the power of their souls. Therefore, many more people had their souls drained, their cultivation path severed, and they turned into withered bones to fill the endless abyss.

Therefore, although this demonic art allowed her to advance her cultivation rapidly, it was also condemned by the righteous path. Even powerful figures in the demonic path frowned, after all, who doesn't have disciples? They were truly afraid that her seduction would weaken their souls and cause their family lineage to be severed.

Previously, there were people who wanted to kill Su Rongrong to eliminate future troubles, but the Heavenly Demon of Desire that this woman had cultivated was perfectly compatible with the 'Love Flower of the Sea of ​​Sin' formation, and could actually draw on part of the formation's power without anyone noticing.

Before the emergence of a method comparable to the "Sinful Sea of ​​Love Flower Array" like the Two Elements Micro Dust Array, and since Su Rongrong did not leave Tianyuan, almost no one could do anything about her.

It is said that this woman used the power of countless sinful seas accumulated in the "Sinful Sea of ​​Love Flower Array" to integrate her own seductive lust into the array, wanting to imitate the "Blood Scripture" and forge a path that integrates with the Sinful Sea Array, so that the sinful sea will never dry up, the seven emotions and six desires will never cease, and she herself will never perish.

So although everyone wanted to kill her, she was secretly protected by several powerful demons who wanted to see her potential. In addition, countless Earth's natural disasters fearlessly contributed their evil intentions, making her one of the evils of this world.

High above, the young monk Xuanzhu, reflecting on the information he had previously gleaned, had to admit his admiration. After all, he had never encountered such a bold and daring person who forged her own path before.

"Hehe! Although I don't cultivate the demonic path, I know that this path is too difficult. If you are not careful, you will be devoured by the seven emotions and six desires, and become part of the Heavenly Charm Desire Demon Art, and from then on, you will become nourishment in the Sea of ​​Sin.

"Otherwise, given the nature of the millions of players in the Human Desire Sect, how could they possibly not study this true scripture?"

"Now that I think about it, the fact that she remained at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm means that she was unable to subdue her myriad evil thoughts and could not guarantee that she would not be devoured by desires and turned into nourishment for the great formation."

"Otherwise, with the accumulation of the Sinful Sea Formation, let alone a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, even a Celestial Immortal Realm cultivator could be achieved in an instant."

"Tsk tsk... Those powerful figures in the demonic path tolerated her, and although they each had their own motives, there must have been players from various sects speaking well of her behind her back. After all, if she could really succeed on this path, other players would have one more option."

"But none of that matters to me. What I value are the millions of corpses she has buried under this abyss over the years! Tsk tsk, this resentment, this sin, if it could truly be redeemed, the merit would surely turn me into a little golden statue."

"Evil is good, evil is wonderful, evil is awesome. Hehe... Hahahaha..."

The more he thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed. Half of his eyes were filled with madness, and the other half with Zen wisdom. He laughed like a lunatic high in the sky.
