Two Realms: Modern Invasion of Cultivation

She was in name only; she never shared a room with Zhou Mingze.

It was unexpected, yet not unexpected.

When Song Yu was making his calculations, he had already foreseen this point: that this beautiful woman had a son and a daughter, but they were not her biological children.

A woman's Buddha-nature is pure and untainted, which also means that she has not experienced romantic love, otherwise her Buddha-nature would not be so pure.

and so.

Why did Zhou Mingze agree to marry this beautiful woman, yet never touch her after so many years of marriage?

The answer is quite simple.

Zhou Mingze is incredibly resilient; so resilient that even with congenital heart failure, he can live a perfectly healthy life, and even hospital examinations cannot detect any heart problems.

The only problem is that sexual intercourse is not allowed, otherwise it will cause cardiac arrest.

Then...

Still alive...

Cardiac arrest is only temporary; once you calm down, your heart can start beating again, and you can continue to live.

This shows how tough Zhou Mingze's life is.

It can be said that Zhou Mingze himself is an extremely special, extraordinary, and incredibly lucky person to be blessed by Xu Manzhu.

Such a person, if not unique, must be among the very few in the billions of people in the world and in the history of the world.

In order to expand its power, that wicked fortune even managed to find someone as resilient as Zhou Mingze and guide Xu Manzhu to be with him.

Now that they've set their sights on him, you can imagine how entangled they'll become.

But this entanglement is actually a good thing. After all, as long as you can endure it, then good fortune will recognize you and bring you boundless blessings.

...

On the open-air balcony connected to the bedroom.

Beside the tea table.

Song Yu and Xu Manzhu sat facing each other, drinking tea.

The Weaver Girl was still tugging at the beautiful woman's open neckline, where her full, snow-white breasts were faintly visible, showing great persistence.

"We can give it a try."

Song Yu adopted a relaxed posture and said in a light tone, "Let's do nothing and see what happens between us next."

"If I'm not mistaken..."

What?

Xu Manzhu gently soothed the baby in her arms, subtly concealing the glimpse of white skin at her neckline, calmly awaiting what would happen next.

Song Yu took a sip of tea and continued, "Even if we do nothing and neither of us takes the initiative, the good fortune within you will continue to guide us closer, creating various opportunities, fates, coincidences, and bringing us together."

"We can wait and see how far things will go before they stop and acknowledge me as their master."

"Perhaps it's okay if we don't have a relationship."

"Or perhaps... it's only possible if we have a physical relationship..."

"..."

Take your time and watch it.

Xu Manzhu looked at her husband lying on the bed inside the room and remained silent for a long time.

"If you didn't demonstrate those methods."

She slowly said, "I absolutely cannot believe what you're saying."

I believe that her fate, everything, is due to the good fortune that is guiding and controlling her.

"If it weren't for me."

Song Yu paused, then shook his head slightly and said, "First it's President Zhou, then your two children, and finally yourself."

"As your good fortune grows stronger, more and more people around you will be unable to enjoy it. In the end, all those good and bad fortunes will fall on you, ultimately backfiring and killing you."

Whether good or bad fortune is something depends on whether someone can bear it.

These words sound so helpless and hopeless.

There was no choice; I had no control over my own destiny.

Xu Manzhu sighed softly, looked at the young man before her, and asked with a complicated expression, "How old are you?"

Song Yu smiled and said, "25."

Xu Manzhu said softly, "Your aunt is fifteen years older than you."

Song Yu casually said, "It doesn't matter. In another hundred years, the difference between 125 and 140 will be negligible."

Xu Manzhu was stunned.

Song Yu sat up slightly and looked at the beautiful woman, saying, "Aunt Zhu'er, you have excellent talent and aptitude, so I would like to try to cultivate with you and help you become an immortal."

Cultivating immortality...

Xu Manzhu snapped out of her daze and hesitated, "Can I...?"

Song Yu nodded and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. If you're willing, I can try to help you open the door to cultivation right now."

The beautiful woman is of great value.

Firstly, it's due to good fortune; secondly, if possible, it can also fulfill the cultivation requirements of the Dragon-Tiger Supreme Body.

Without the guidance of good fortune, he might not have encountered or found such a top-tier cultivation talent, and might have missed it.

"I don't really understand cultivation techniques or anything like that."

Xu Manzhu gently stroked the baby girl in her arms, whose head was buried in her collar, and sighed softly, "Xiaoyu, you can do whatever you want."

"Judging from your methods, if you could cultivate, I'm afraid countless people would be vying to learn from you."

"How can I ever repay you for such a great blessing?"

As for the report...

Song Yu pondered and said, "To be honest, the act of me helping you cultivate is itself a blessing brought to you by your own good fortune."

"You don't need to repay me."

"When the good fortune within you recognizes me as your master, it will naturally bring me benefits and rewards."

"If you really feel bad about letting me help you for free, then it's simple, just pay me."

"My personal circumstances and family are not wealthy, so we still need money quite a bit."

Yeah.

Xu Manzhu said with captivating eyes, "People would be willing to give up everything to become an immortal for such an opportunity."

Song Yu smiled and said, "Everything has a cause and effect, especially since you, Aunt Zhu'er, have innate Buddha-nature, which will have a greater influence on cause and effect and fate."

"If you give me all your money, then the karma between us will be too great. If I don't repay you with my body and help you attain immortality, I'm afraid I won't be able to settle this matter."

Upon hearing this...

Xu Manzhu found it quite amusing.

"Let's do it this way."

Song Yu calculated, "One million in opening fees, and I'll help you open the door to cultivation."

We'll talk about it later.

Only one million.

That's way too cheap.

Xu Manzhu said calmly, "One million is too little, but if I give you too much money, it will be difficult to pass the review. Auntie can give you another house worth ten million."

That's perfect.

Song Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Personally, I don't really need a house or much money, but my sister does want to buy a house, and it would be good if my parents could move to a different house."

"But a house worth ten million is unnecessary; a house worth two or three million is sufficient. A house that is too nice is not necessarily a good thing."

After discussing the details, the two finalized the house arrangement.

They say they'll give you a house, but they definitely can't just give it to you directly.

It's best to package these things properly; it can save a lot of trouble.

The time came to nine o'clock in the evening.

Song Yu put down his teacup and looked at the beautiful woman.

"Then come on."

He simply said, "Aunt Zhu, try to keep calm."

Xu Manzhu nodded and asked, "And then?"

Song Yu closed his eyes, and the Celestial Master's divine will emerged from his sea of ​​consciousness, manifesting in front of the beautiful woman who always had a "Heavenly Eye Talisman" on her body.

The Heavenly Eye Talisman is drawn using divine will.

As long as he doesn't take it back, it can remain effective on women indefinitely.

"Then just sit down."

Song Yu smiled and spoke, transforming into a celestial master. His blue robes turned into red robes, and as he raised his hand, a scripture slowly appeared in his hand.

"Aunt Zhu'er, next I'm going to recite Laozi's Thoughts on You. Just listen."

"The Tao gives birth to One, which disperses its energy and transforms into form... the nameless beginning of Heaven and Earth..."

"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs..."

"Attain utmost emptiness, hold fast to stillness..."

"Always acting without acting..."

"..."

Accompanied by Song Yu's recitation.

Xu Manzhu gradually calmed down and felt more relaxed than ever before.

She didn't quite understand what was being said, but listening to it inexplicably brought her peace, relaxation, and a sense of freedom.

Just listen, just listen.

She gradually entered a state of selflessness.

In this state, she could clearly sense everything around her. She saw Song Yu slowly raise his head to look at her after finishing his recitation, and gently trace a line on the scroll with his finger.

"The Great Dao possesses a spirit, which can give rise to divine charm..."

"Aunt Pearl, I will help you open it now. Experience it carefully..."

"Jade Purity Edict, Nine True Mysterious Light, Breaking Through the Darkness and Revealing the Light..."

"The spiritual energy within the cave, open!"

The words were spoken.

As her fingers traced the scroll, a divine light flashed and disappeared into Xu Manzhu's forehead and between her eyebrows.

This time.

Xu Manzhu suddenly felt something inside her body, as if it was about to burst out of the ground.

but...

It feels like it's still a little short of being able to come out.

at this point.

Song Yu also noticed this, and immediately raised his hand again to draw a divine light on the scroll to continue the spiritual awakening process.

After a while.

Xu Manzhu blinked her beautiful eyes, a look of worry in them, and said, "Xiaoyu, you...you don't have to force yourself..."

Song Yu stood up, took a deep breath, and stared intently at the beautiful woman sitting upright in an exquisite cheongsam. He said in a deep voice, "It's alright, Aunt Zhu'er. It's only been three times. I can still manage."

"Again!"

"Spiritual energy, open!"

A few moments later.

Xu Manzhu asked cautiously and softly, "Xiaoyu, is it done?"

Song Yu sat back down in his chair, raised his hand to cover his face, and took deep breaths, saying, "It didn't work. Something's not right. Let me figure out what's going on."

That doesn't make sense.

Nine times!

He tried to open the woman's spiritual energy nine times, but failed even once.

This is clearly illogical.

Given the other party's aptitude, they shouldn't be any worse than Yun Su; they're at the level where just a little interaction with them would be enough to generate spiritual energy.

Not to mention that now that he's offering his help, he should be able to generate spiritual energy without even having to lift a finger.

What went wrong?

The question of Buddha-nature?

"Xiaoyu, maybe we should... forget about it..."

Xu Manzhu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Auntie believes you can do it, but you look quite tired right now, you should rest for a bit."

"It's getting late..."

Forget it?

It doesn't count.

Song Yu suddenly stood up and exhaled.

If we just let it go like this, where will he put his face?

"Aunt Pearl, it must be because of the wrong posture."

He simply said, "Let's try it again in your room."

The words were spoken.

He used the Eight Gates Escape Talisman to disappear with the woman, and when he reappeared, he was already in the next bedroom, on the bed.

"I will teach you the Guanyin meditation posture."

On the bed, Song Yu sat cross-legged, raised his hand and pointed a point of spiritual light, instructing, "Sit properly."

Helpless, Xu Manzhu could only follow the posture that came to mind, carefully sitting cross-legged with her flesh-colored, shiny silk legs, raising one hand in front of her chest while holding the baby girl in her arms, and gently placing the other hand on her knee.

This meditative posture was something Song Yu realized while looking at the stone statues of Guanyin and Buddha at Lingyin Temple.

"very good."

Seeing how professional the beautiful woman's posture was.

Song Yu was immediately satisfied. His gaze fell on his daughter, who was still fiddling with the woman's neckline. He paused for a moment and then said thoughtfully, "It shouldn't have any impact."

Xu Manzhu said in a slightly stern tone, "Don't look around."

Song Yu smiled, closed his eyes, and said seriously, "Again, Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"

He uttered the nine-syllable mantra and made the mantra hand gestures.

The Nine Syllable Mantra is applicable to both Buddhism and Taoism, and it is bound to be effective.

However, this time he was blessing himself, not a woman.

With the blessing of the Nine Syllable Mantra.

He took another deep breath, and then slowly said, "Om Mani Padme Hum!"

"open!"

Once again, he performed the ritual for the beautiful woman.

As the word "open" fell, he opened his eyes, his fingers traced the scroll, and divine light once again entered the beautiful woman's body.

then...

Golden light flourishes!

In sight, the beautiful woman opened her mouth without saying a word, and then her body shone with golden light, slowly floating up.

Look closely at the golden light; it comes from between the woman's eyebrows.

Song Yu reacted immediately and used the power of illusion to conceal all the strange phenomena inside the room.

He raised his hand, unleashing all his magical power, and pressed the woman's slowly floating body back down.

"Xiaoyu..."

"What's wrong with me...?"

Xu Manzhu trembled and muttered to herself, as if she could not move.

Song Yu did some quick calculations with his fingers and then frowned.

Excessive force.

His previous nine spiritual awakenings were not ineffective; on the contrary, they were very effective.

However, because the six-syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" was missing, it was never successful.

Actually, it has already succeeded; it's just missing the six-syllable mantra.

And now.

With the six-syllable mantra, everything fell into place, and the beautiful woman's spiritual essence was born.

Then...

This caused the nine divine lights that he had accumulated within the woman's body after his previous nine spiritual awakenings to erupt all at once.

Let alone opening the spiritual energy.

It directly reached the pinnacle of spiritual essence.

The only problem is that after the beautiful woman achieved great spiritual mastery, she did not open up her dantian, nor did she generate innate true qi.

Dantian and True Qi are part of the Taoist cultivation system.

The beautiful woman possesses Buddhist nature; she is not a follower of Taoism but must follow the Buddhist cultivation system.

The problem is that the beautiful woman is a Buddhist, but she doesn't know how to practice Buddhism.

As a result, the divine light power in the opponent's body could not be guided and could not form a Buddhist cultivation method, so it could only explode like this.

Skillful.

He doesn't know any Buddhist cultivation methods either.

The scriptures are Taoist scriptures, and I cannot comprehend the teachings of Buddhism.

What should we do...?

Song Yu quickly thought for a moment and reassured her, "Aunt Zhu'er, it's alright. You're just like someone who's taken too much tonic. You need guidance to open the door to cultivation."

Xu Manzhu felt relieved and asked earnestly, "Then tell me quickly, what should Auntie do next?"

The Weaver Girl looked up curiously, her little hands touching the golden light.

Song Yu paused for a moment, then said helplessly, "I am a Taoist practitioner, and I don't know how to cultivate in Buddhism."

Xu Manzhu was taken aback, then said in a tone that was both slightly reproachful and indulgent, "You silly child... Now... what should Auntie do..."

Song Yu lowered his head, opened the scroll, and said, "It's nothing, let me think."

It's up to you now, scriptures!

Scripture: ...

Song Yu: Yes, you can do it...

The scroll automatically turned its pages, and after turning one page, two words slowly appeared on the blank page.

"Investiture of the Gods..."

Conferred God?

Song Yu was struck by a realization, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

It has to be scriptures.

After gaining insight, he looked at the beautiful woman before him with a knowing smile and slowly exhaled.

"Aunt Pearl..."

"Congratulations! From now on, you are the first and only Guanyin Bodhisattva in the world..."

His words were meaningful.

Xu Manzhu pondered for a moment, then said meaningfully, "So what if she's Guanyin Bodhisattva? In the end, she'll still benefit you..."

"You little rascal..."

Ok?

cough cough cough.

Caught off guard, Song Yu coughed.

That's not necessarily true.

Even without a physical relationship, you can still have your destiny recognized by the Lord.

He said no more and simply began the process of bestowing titles upon the gods.

"Imperial Edict of Yuqing, Yuanshi Kaitu, Taichi Zhuming, Yongzhen Tianshu, Hurry, Hurry, as the decree of the Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable."

As the incantation was finished, he said in a deep voice, "Xu Manzhu, I hereby bestow upon you the form of the Thousand-Armed, Thousand-Form Guanyin Bodhisattva, enabling you to attain Buddhahood, rule, and deliver all sentient beings..."

Is it done?

Xu Manzhu suddenly felt her body slowly float up again.

period.

The golden light emanating from her body slowly receded, transforming into a golden lotus that supported her full, rounded buttocks beneath her cheongsam, allowing her to truly feel the presence of the lotus platform.

The golden lotus platform was small and appeared and disappeared intermittently.

As she sat down, she followed her instincts, crossing one leg and letting the other dangle naturally over the lotus platform.

This posture is exactly the posture of Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus platform.

Sit in a straight posture.

Xu Manzhu then had another insight, raised her hand and placed it in front of her full chest, making a meditation mudra.

Behind his head, the Buddha wheel appeared, also appearing and disappearing.

A cultivation method, seemingly from nowhere, surged into her mind, causing her to enter a state of enlightenment, realization, and forgetting all external things.

See here.

Song Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

That's all right now.

Using Taoist methods to confer divine titles and Buddhist teachings—this is the solution offered by the scriptures.

It seems to be working well.

Moreover, in this way, he essentially encompassed the Buddhist system within the Taoist system, and he could also comprehend Buddhist teachings from the scriptures in the future.

That's the only way.

Otherwise, in his cultivation and entry into the Tao, he would not be able to comprehend and cultivate the Buddha's teachings.

and so.

Is this Mahayana Buddhism or Hinayana Buddhism?

Thinking about it.

He continued to peruse the scriptures, contemplating them alongside the beautiful woman sitting on a lotus throne, her silk-stockinged leg dangling in front of him.

The Celestial Master's divine will still manifested in him.

Clad in a red robe, accompanied by a gentle breeze, he exuded an ethereal aura.

And on the other side.

Xu Manzhu sat on a lotus platform, wearing a white robe that was barely visible on her body. Her expression was solemn and dignified, with a compassionate look that was faintly visible.

These are merely the outward manifestations of a beautiful woman.

Even without external adornment, the beautiful woman's appearance remained unchanged; in fact, she became even more stunning and captivating, appearing younger and more beautiful overall.

Such insights were gained.

Only the Weaver Girl, still persistently holding the beautiful woman's full breasts with her small hands, buried her head inside the collar, searching for food.

Enviable.

However, Song Yu paid no attention to these things.

As he gained enlightenment, Buddhist teachings emerged on the scriptures: the precepts, the vow to liberate beings, and the joyful meditation.

and many more.

What's the last one?

Song Yu, embodying the unity of knowledge and action, and with genuine interest and sincerity, began to contemplate the last Zen principle...
