Monk Dade was considered a guest of worship. Unlike protector elders like Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao, he had more freedom, but his relationship with the sect was relatively estranged.
To outsiders, Kang Nanhua and Miao Shihao could call themselves Xuanmen Tianzong, while Monk Dade still belonged to the Tempest Temple.
It's just that right now the Great Thunder Temple has long since been destroyed, existing is equivalent to non-existent. That's why Monk Dade can also be counted as a member of the Xuanmen Heavenly Sect. Lin Feng allowing him to not leave Buddhism is to help Monk Dade preserve a portion of the past relationship with his sect.
For Monk Dade, this was the best result. He was naturally grateful for Lin Feng's magnanimity. He was a kind person and had decided to repay Lin Feng and Xuanmen Tianzong in the future.
Seeing him like this, Lin Feng could not help but smile in his heart, adding fuel to the fire.
Returning to Jade Capital Mountain, he brought Monk Dade into the Tower of Scriptures. In a corner of the library on the first floor of the Tower of Scriptures were many scriptures, all of which were Buddhist scriptures. Lin Feng had specially opened up a corner to store them separately.
Monk Dade caressed these scriptures with his palm, his eyes revealing a nostalgic expression. He was clearly thinking of the Tempest Temple's Tower of Scriptures.
Lin Feng said lightly, "Other than collecting relics and sending them back to the Tempest Temple for reburial, I also came across some Buddhist scriptures by accident, so I collected them here and sorted them out and stored them, hoping to recreate the Tempest Temple's Buddhist scriptures."
"Although the Tempest Temple has been destroyed, as long as the scriptures passed down are not lost, there may be a day when it will rise again."
Monk Dade took a deep breath and turned to Lin Feng, putting his palms together. "Sect Master, your merit is immeasurable. All the Buddhist disciples in the world are grateful."
He turned to stare at a scripture and sighed. "Buddha is merciful. The last time I saw the Maha-Vairocana Scripture was before the war between the two worlds."
"After that great battle, countless elders of the sect passed away, and the Sutra Library was also destroyed, causing this sutra to be lost." Slowly, Zen Master Dade shook his head and praised, "I thought that I would never be able to see this Vairocana Scripture again in my life."
"Although it's missing the Vairocana Palm Seal, it's already extremely rare." Zen Master Dade murmured, "On behalf of all the Buddhist and Daoist disciples, I thank Sovereign for allowing this scripture to reappear in the world."
Zen Master Dade looked at the Vairocana Sutra in front of him, the Unmovable Vairocana Sutra, the Infinite Light Vairocana Sutra, the Art of Acala, the Subhuti Sutra, the Ksitigarbha Sutra … these were all the top buddhist spells of the Great Thunderclap Monastery in the past. Now that they were all gathered together, even the zen heart that Zen Master Dade had cultivated for many years was stirred at this moment.
Thinking of the tragic scene when the Great Leiyin Temple was destroyed, he actually had the urge to cry.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "If there are any gains in the future, I'll leave them all to you to sort out. What do you think?"
Zen Master Dade nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you, Sovereign."
Lin Feng and Zen Master Dade left the Sutras Depository and chose a cave residence on Yujing Mountain for him to live in. He also extracted a part of the essence of the cloud forest tree so that he could continue to recuperate and cultivate in peace.
As a Buddhist cultivator, Zen Master Dade mainly cultivated himself. His own strength and state of mind were strong, so when faced with the Sacred Fire Ritual, he had more resistance. But after that, he cultivated with the essence of the cloud forest tree and borrowed external forces to restore his own essence, qi and spirit, which was much more difficult.
This was a slow process and could only rely on Zen Master Dade to recuperate himself.
After Lin Feng sent Zen Master Dade back to the stone room to rest, he extracted two balls of essence from the cloud forest tree. Then he spread his sleeve and purple gas surged, releasing Shi Zongyue and Xing Dou Dao Master.
The two of them were also tortured by the Sacred Fire Sacrifice to the point of death. Prince An Liang Shi Zongyue was slightly better, but Star Dou Dao Master was already exhaling more than he inhaled. He was half a step away from the collapse of his Primordial Spirit.
In this case, Lin Feng could not even directly inject the essence of the cloud forest tree into Xing Dou Dao Master's Primordial Spirit, otherwise the old man would not be able to take it.
He first used the Universal Sky Purple Qi and the Dharma power of the Taiyin True Water to nourish Xing Dou Dao Master's Primordial Spirit, and then Slowly integrated the massive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi extracted from the cloud forest tree into Xing Dou Dao Master's Primordial Spirit.
Xing Dou Dao Master was already on the verge of death. After a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After waking up, he did not dare to hesitate and quickly manifested his Primordial Spirit incarnation. He carefully refined and absorbed the massive essence to repair his Primordial Spirit.
The essence of the cloud forest tree was only a resource to repair the Primordial Spirit. To repair the Primordial Spirit, the cultivator still needed to use the Taoist Law.
Xing Dou Dao Master's Primordial Spirit turned into a dark galaxy. At first, there were only a few faint flashes of starlight, and the light was extremely weak, as if it could disappear at any time.
As time went by, the starlight gradually brightened, and the number increased until finally, it turned into a galaxy again. Countless stars flickered endlessly.
Although it was far less dazzling and dazzling than when it was in its heyday, Xing Dou Dao Master had obviously escaped from the danger of death.
On the other side, Shi Zongyue's situation was much better. With the supply of the cloud forest tree essence, his essence, qi and spirit recovered rapidly.
However, he did not display his Primordial Spirit incarnation, which was the image of the Red Dragon Emperor with a dragon head and a human body. Instead, he manifested into the image of a three-feet-tall giant with a crown on his head and a majestic aura. He wore a fiery red robe and when he opened and closed his eyes, endless flames spurted out and turned into rolling red clouds.
In the red clouds, there were constantly red light dragons swaying up and down.
This red-robed giant sat cross-legged in the void, exuding a strange atmosphere, as if it was incompatible with the world in front of him.
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, "Is this the Void Return Dharma Body that Shi Zongyue comprehended according to the Red Dragon Emperor's cultivation?"
There were three realms of the Demon Clan's Immortal Demon Soul. The first was the Immortal Demon Soul, the second was the Primordial True Spirit, and the third was the Star Soul Fusion.
After the Human Clan cultivator achieved the Primordial Spirit, there were also three realms. The first was to refine the Qi into Spirit and obtain the Primordial Spirit Incarnation. The second was to refine the Spirit into Void and obtain the Void Return Dharma Body. The third was to refine the Void Return Dharma Body.
Before the Primordial Spirit Realm, although there were Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Golden Elixir Period, and Yuanying Stage, in the end, they could all be collectively referred to as Qi Cultivators.
Qi Cultivators were life born from nature, so there would be a limit to their lifespan. Once the limit was reached, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Only by breaking through the limit and achieving the Primordial Spirit could one obtain a carefree and eternal life.
The first realm of the Primordial Spirit Realm, the Primordial Spirit Incarnation Stage, was to completely change the life form of a cultivator. It made it so that the cultivator no longer needed to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into his body to cultivate. Instead, he could integrate himself into the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, becoming a part of the world.
Being one with the world, one's lifespan was endless.
Living as long as the world, unless the world was destroyed, one would follow it to the end. Otherwise, one's lifespan was naturally endless.
However, this kind of integration and connection was still weak. It was established through the Great Dao nomological laws that the cultivator comprehended the moment he achieved the Primordial Spirit. It was not truly the case that the world was one with him, and he was one with the world. Therefore, it was still possible for him to be killed by a powerful external force.
Because the world was one, all the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth could be freely transformed into one's own Dharma power. Therefore, Primordial Spirit cultivators generally did not face the problem of Dharma power exhaustion. This was unless there was an even stronger expert who used a powerful divine ability to temporarily cut off the connection between the Primordial Spirit cultivator and the world.
For example, the Sacred Fire Sacrificial Rite that Golden Roc Great Sage had performed was like this.
Once the Primordial Spirit Incarnation of a cultivator was damaged, it would also cause the integration of the Primordial Spirit with the world to no longer be perfect. At this time, it would be impossible to mobilize the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to repair the body. This was the case for Shi Zongyue, Dao Master Xing Dou, and the others, which was why they needed the Spiritual Qi of the Cloud Forest Tree to replenish themselves.
After the injury was healed, the Primordial Spirit would once again integrate with the world, and the essence, qi, and spirit that had been obliterated would quickly be restored.
The Primordial Spirit Incarnation was often the embodiment of the will of the cultivator's Dharma Access.
And the next step for the Primordial Spirit Incarnation was to refine the Primordial Spirit into the Void. The condensation of the Void Dharma Body was different from the Primordial Spirit Incarnation that integrated with the world. Refining the Primordial Spirit into the Void was a process of destruction and reconstruction. It was to jump out of the world, understand the true meaning of the Great Dao, and form a world of its own.
It was no longer attached to the world of heaven and earth, but to truly have an independent self. Celestial Being, Celestial Being, Man was always in the world, and refining the Primordial Spirit into the Void was the starting point from which man and Heaven began to exist equally.
Previously, when Lin Feng had tricked Xiao Yan into refining medicine, he had once said that everything in the world, no matter who it was, was an independent individual and different from the rest.
But if one were to look at it from the perspective of the world, they were just a part of the creation of all living beings.
Cultivation was so that one could transcend the ordinary life of the masses. Even from the macro perspective of the world of creation, one was still different from the rest.
At that time, the purpose of saying these words was indeed to trick Xiao Yan, but there was nothing wrong with the words themselves. They were the goal of cultivation.
Refining the Primordial Spirit into the Void was the first step to transcend and become independent.
It was still very immature and was still a basic embryonic form, but it was a solid and crucial first step.
When a Primordial Soul realm cultivator successfully advanced to the second-tier Primordial Soul realm, they would be able to refine a Primordial Spirit Incarnation. A Primordial Spirit Incarnation was a level higher than a Primordial Spirit Incarnation. At the same time, it also transcended the will form of the cultivator's Dharma Access and integrated with the cultivator's understanding of the Great Dao.
Different people who reached the Primordial Soul realm using the same Dharma Access would obtain the exact same Primordial Spirit Incarnation. It was just that there might be differences in strength, but the existence of a Primordial Spirit Incarnation was unique.
However, second-tier Primordial Soul realm cultivators would usually not reveal their Primordial Spirit Incarnation in battle. Although this Mystical Power was powerful, it was ultimately a Dharma Access and not a Dharma Access for actual combat. In a sense, it was somewhat similar to Yuanying. Although it was powerful, once it was damaged, it would cause severe damage to the cultivator.
If the Primordial Spirit Incarnation was shattered, the cultivator's realm would even fall back to the first-tier Primordial Soul realm.
At this moment, the image of the red-robed giant that Shi Zongyue manifested was the Primordial Spirit Incarnation that he condensed based on the foundation of the Red Dragon Emperor's Book and integrated with his own understanding of the Great Dao.
Lin Feng Silently watched Shi Zongyue and Xing Dou Dao Master cultivate. After a long time, the two slowly stopped and dispersed their Primordial Spirit Incarnation and Primordial Spirit Incarnation. They stood up and solemnly bowed to Lin Feng at the same time, "Thank you, Master of Xuan Men, for your help!"
Lin Feng said lightly, "You two don't have to be so polite. Since we entered the Cloudy Forest World together, we should help each other."
He waved his hand and broke through the void, "West-Hill City is below, I will send you two here. However, if you have the intention to stay on this mountain, I also welcome you."
