Chapter 1587 Four Secret Realms

Chapter 1587 Three Secret Realms

"I appreciate the good intentions of Sect Master Dugu, but I am used to being free and lazy, and I am not used to the rules and regulations of the sect, so I can only say sorry."

Xiao Lin replied that he was the young master of Mitian Palace and would have to return to Holy Moon Continent sooner or later. Moreover, he did not know this Dugu Sect Master very well, so when faced with the olive branch he suddenly extended to him, Xiao Lin naturally did not dare to accept it.

Dugu Yin seemed to have anticipated Xiao Lin's answer, and did not insist. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Dugu Yin will not force it. But now that you have offended the Buddhist sect, the old monks in the Great Bodhi Temple may look kind and benevolent, but they are actually very narrow-minded. If you have offended them, you may not have a peaceful life in the future."

"Even if Fellow Daoist Dugu didn't remind me of this, Xiao Lin would know it very well. However, the most important enemy of the Buddhist sect right now should be the Holy Ancestor Wu Lin, not Xiao, right?"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is right. Fellow Daoist Xiao fought against three Great Sun Golden Bodies and became famous in one battle. Even if the Buddhist sect wants to be an enemy of Fellow Daoist Xiao, they should think twice. But Fellow Daoist Xiao still needs to be careful. There is no guarantee that those bald donkeys will not use dirty tricks to force you to submit."

After Dugu Yin finished speaking, without waiting for Xiao Lin to reply, he continued, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, your magical powers are amazing. Perhaps Dugu Yin is overthinking. I wonder what your plans are for the future?"

Xiao Lin looked at Dugu Yin, and suddenly something moved in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Daoyou Dugu is in charge of the Solitary Immortal Sect. I want to gain a broad knowledge. Xiao wants to ask Daoyou Dugu about something."

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please feel free to speak. As long as Dugu Yin knows something, I will tell him everything I know."

"Then Xiao, thank you in advance."

After that, Xiao Lin continued, "To be honest, I am not from the Lonely Sun Continent, but from the Holy Moon Continent. I just accidentally came to the Lonely Sun Continent while traveling and exploring again. It has been more than a thousand years. But I wonder if Fellow Daoist Dugu knows where the super cross-domain teleportation array is on the Lonely Sun Continent. I want to return to my homeland."

"Oh? Fellow Daoist Xiao is not from Gu Ri Continent? That's no wonder. Dugu Yin has been in charge of Gu Yang Sect for ten thousand years, but he has never heard of Fellow Daoist Xiao's name. Otherwise, with Fellow Daoist Xiao's magical powers, he would have been famous throughout the continent long ago."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Dugu, you are praising me. The Gu Ri Continent is so vast, and there are so many powerful people. How can my little magical power be worthy of being put on the stage?"

Dugu Yin heard this, but his face showed solemnity: "Fellow Daoist Xiao is too modest. You should know that Huixuan Buddha is the chief guardian of the Wuchen Court of the Great Bodhi Temple, in charge of 30,000 guardian arhats. He is also one of the few candidates in the Wuchen Court who are qualified to become the Buddha. It can be seen that his magical powers are extraordinary. However, he joined hands with Yuanci Bodhisattva and Yuanhua Buddha. The three of them are still no match for Fellow Daoist Xiao. This alone is enough to shock the Buddhist sect."

After hearing this, Xiao Lin realized that he had made a big mess with this battle, and he felt a little regretful. But since he had done it, there was no point in regretting it. After all, he was just a passer-by on the Lonely Sun Continent. As long as he could leave, he would immediately return to the Holy Moon Continent.

Dugu Yin continued, "There are several cross-domain teleportation arrays in several large immortal cities on the Gu Ri Continent, and they are all controlled by some sects. Even our Gu Xian Sect has one in the Lin Xian City, which can connect to several surrounding domains. However, when Fellow Daoist Xiao wanted to leave the Gu Ri Continent, the Gu Xian Sect no longer had the super cross-domain teleportation array."

Seeing Xiao Lin showing a lost expression, Dugu Yin suddenly remembered something, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Dugu Yin suddenly remembered something, maybe it can make Xiao Daoyou leave the Lonely Sun Continent and return to the Holy Moon Continent."

"Really?" Xiao Lin was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "What's the solution?"

"Have you ever heard of the [Xumeru Yin-Yang Realm], Fellow Daoist Xiao?"

Xiao Lin was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "Where is this place? I have never heard of it before."

Dugu Yin saw Xiao Lin's expression and knew that he was not hiding anything on purpose. It seemed that he had really never heard of it. This also confirmed what he said before. It seemed that it was indeed from the Holy Moon Continent.

After pondering for a moment, Dugu Yin told Xiao Lin the story.

It turns out that there are three secret places on this lonely sun continent, namely [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm], [Buddha Refining Cave Heaven] and [Small Demon Realm].

Among them, [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] and [Buddha Refining Cave Heaven] are both under the control of Buddhist and Taoist sects. It is rumored that [Buddha Refining Cave Heaven] is the final resting place of the Buddha. On the Continent of Lonely Sun, if Buddhist and Taoist practitioners cultivate to the highest realm, manifest the sun, and achieve the golden body of Buddha or Bodhisattva, they can become the master of an academy, and at least the host of one of the hundred upper academies.

Going further up, just like the immortal cultivators, you need to pass three levels in a row. If you pass them, you can ascend to the immortal world in broad daylight. If you fail, you may fall into the cycle of reincarnation, or even return to dust and disappear without a trace.

If a Buddhist or Taoist practitioner who has not passed the three levels tries to ascend by force, he will also trigger the heavenly tribulation of ascension, just like the immortal cultivators. However, Buddhist practitioners cannot switch to the way of scattered immortals, and there is no such thing as scattered Buddhas, because Buddhist practitioners cultivate their primordial spirit and golden body, so the heavenly tribulation goes for their primordial spirit and golden body from the beginning. If they succeed, they can pass it, but if they fail, both their body and soul will be destroyed.

These three levels are the great perfection of the golden body, the perfection of the power of rules, and the last step, the perfect fusion of the soul and the power of rules. After these three perfections, one can break through the void and ascend to the fairyland. It is also called the three difficulties in Buddhism.

In the Mahabodhi Temple, there are three major Zen temples, namely the Bodhi Zen Temple, the Jingtai Zen Temple and the Wuchen Zen Temple. Among them, the people in the Bodhi Zen Temple basically do not care about worldly affairs. All the Buddhist practitioners inside are devoted to meditation and cultivation. The abbot of the temple is even more unfathomable. It is rumored that he has comprehended the judgment rule, which is ranked second among the ten major rules.

The power of judgment is the power of Heaven. It uses the prestige of heaven and earth to judge the injustices in the world. Its power is earth-shaking. Moreover, it is rumored that he has already completed the second difficulty and brought the rules of judgment to perfection. Not only that, his Buddhist teachings contain hundreds of thousands of years of Buddhist cultivation. Even the three most holy ancestors of the demon path have no confidence in defeating him.

This is also the reason why Buddhism has always been superior to the devil for hundreds of thousands of years. If Buddhism had not maintained its reputation of being compassionate, saving all living beings, and not liking killing, the devil would have been destroyed by Buddhism long ago.

Even so, small actions were constantly being taken in secret. Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Demonic Path had suffered terribly. Many of the top Demonic Path warriors were captured by the Buddhist sect in private. They were either imprisoned in a secret place to repent, or were recruited as the Eight Divisions of Buddhism and became the minions of the Buddhist sect to kill the enemies.

But if you think that the power of the Buddhist sect is limited to this, you are totally wrong, because in the Buddhist sect, to advance to the position of Buddha, that is, after comprehending the rules to perfection, if you cannot take over the position of abbot of the three major Zen temples, then you have only one way to enter the [Buddha Refining Cave Heaven].

This [Buddha Refining Cave Heaven] is a secret realm of Mount Sumeru, a small space world attached to the spiritual world. It is rumored that it contains endless innate evil spirits, and even demons from outer space will descend. It is a holy place for Buddhists to practice Zen. To pass the third difficulty, one not only needs to practice a Zen discipline to perfection, but also needs to use the innate evil spirits and demons from outer space in [Buddha Refining Cave Heaven] to further improve to the state of transcendence. Only in this way can one pass the third difficulty and achieve the perfect fusion of the soul and the power of rules, and thus ascend to the upper realm.

This process is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, not only will your thousands of years of cultivation be destroyed, but also under the double attack of the innate evil spirit and the extraterritorial demons, especially at the moment of Zen mind collapse, the defense will be almost instantly broken, the golden body will collapse on the spot, the Zen mind will collapse, and the physical body and soul will instantly turn to ashes and disappear.

But I heard that in this [Buddha Refining Cave Heaven], the Buddhist monks who practice Zen and cultivate hard are all great masters of Buddhism, and they are also the foundation of Buddhism. Therefore, it is almost impossible to overthrow Buddhism.

When Xiao Lin heard this, he was secretly shocked. This Buddhist sect was indeed terrifying. In this Lonely Sun Continent, it had almost developed to the point of being invincible. The Buddha of the Great Bodhi Temple alone made him flee in panic. It was conceivable that the foundation of this Buddhist sect was terrifyingly deep.

Duguyin continued to narrate

[Buddha Refining Cave Heaven] can be said to be a secret place for Buddhist practice. Unless approved by the abbot of Mahabodhi Temple, outsiders cannot enter it. Even if they want to meditate and practice, it is impossible.

[Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] is different. [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] is also an ancient Sumeru small space world, extremely mysterious, and its entrance is in the void thousands of feet above the Sumeru Zen Temple.

This void is not only covered and reinforced by the supreme Buddhist Dharma, but also guarded by several Mahavairocana Buddhas who meditate there. Outsiders are not allowed to enter.

It is rumored that this [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] contains an eighth-level immortal spirit vein and several spirit stone veins. Not only that, because in the legend, this [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] seems to be connected to a certain space in the immortal world, and it is very likely that it was originally a part of the immortal world, but was torn apart in a great war. Under some unknown force, it is actually connected to the spirit world. It is heard that there are many fragments of immortal artifacts left over from the great battles between true immortals in the immortal world, as well as many innate rare materials that only exist in the void of the universe.

The cultivation method of the Buddhist sect is different from that of the immortals. They rely on the power of faith of believers to transform it into merits to condense the golden body of the soul. The process is long and boring, but as long as the golden body of the soul is condensed, it can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own and fill itself with the power of Buddha. Moreover, Buddhist monks do not cultivate their physical bodies, so high-level immortal stones are of little use to them.

But even so, the Buddhist sect still occupied the entrance and did not allow immortals and demons to enter to search for treasures. This was extremely selfish.

Xiao Lin was also a little angry when he heard this. This bunch of bald monks from the Buddhist sect were indeed extremely despicable. Relying on their own strength, they monopolized these resources, not using them themselves, and not allowing others to use them. No wonder Dugu Yin said that they were narrow-minded and petty.

In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there is another important reason why the Buddhist monks have never entered the [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm]. That is, at the entrance of the [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm], an immortal sword that can cut off the sun was placed by someone unknown.

This Zhan Yang Immortal Sword is, after all, just a gate knife, suspended above the stone gate at the entrance. It is strange to say that this Zhan Yang Immortal Sword does not kill immortal monks, but only kills monks of the Buddhist and demonic paths.

Once, there was a Buddha named Vairocana who tried to enter it, but when he walked to the stone gate, a green light suddenly fell from the stone gate. Under this green-white light, the body of the Buddha suddenly froze, and the Buddha's power on his body began to dissipate rapidly. Then, before he could use the Buddhist magical powers to break free from the restraints, he was cut into two halves by the Zhan Yang Immortal Sword, and even his soul, which he had cultivated for many years, was gone.

When Xiao Lin heard this, he was also surprised. The world is so big that there are really all kinds of wonders. There is actually such a place. Could it be that this [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] does not allow Buddhas and demons to enter, and only allows immortal cultivators to enter?

Sure enough, Dugu Yin continued to speak.

The peculiarity of this [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] also attracted the attention of Buddhist and Taoist monks. They once captured an immortal monk and tried to let him enter to search for treasures. However, they never expected that this immortal monk was controlled by the Buddhist sect and had long ago turned to Buddhism. Although he had not yet condensed a golden body, he had begun to gradually transform his magic power into Buddha power.

As soon as he reached the stone gate, he unsurprisingly followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and was cut in half with a single blow.

Later I heard that the Buddhist sect had also tried it and let a low-level cultivator enter it, but he disappeared into the [Sumeru Yin and Yang Realm] extremely smoothly. That person naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to come out again, and many years had passed, so he must have been dead for a long time.

As for the [Little Demon Realm], it is controlled by the hands of magic. In this [Little Demon Realm], not only is the demonic energy strong, there are countless ferocious monsters, and the demonic energy also contains a thin true demonic energy. It is the key for the magic cultivator to take the last step to perfectly integrate the soul and the power of rules after achieving perfection in the rules.

Although the Buddhist sect also wanted to control the [Little Demon Realm], firstly, the [Little Demon Realm] was useless to the Buddhist sect. Secondly, they also knew that once they tried to control the [Little Demon Realm], several giants in the Demon Realm would definitely unite all the demon sects and go to war with the Buddhist sect. After weighing the pros and cons, it seemed not worth it, so they did not take action.

Dugu Yin stopped talking here.

Xiao Lin also did not speak. He knew that Dugu Yin must have a purpose in telling him these secrets, and it was definitely not as simple as popularizing ancient secrets to him.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Dugu Yin said with a bit of anger on his face, "It's fine for the Buddhist sect to control the [Buddha Refining Cave Heaven], but it's a bit too much for them to control the [Sumeru Yin Yang Realm]. It's very likely that the treasures contained in it are all things that we cultivators urgently need. In the past, immortal cultivators wanted to enter it, and there was no chance at all, including him, Dugu Yin. But now the Buddha and the devil are ready to move, and a war seems inevitable. At this time, as long as we add some fuel to the fire, maybe the Buddha and the devil will start a world-shaking war, and then the immortals will have a chance to enter the [Sumeru Yin Yang Realm]."
