"Boundless Bodhi Lamp of Light …" Zhu Yi repeated the name silently. He subconsciously thought of the Boundless Bodhi Lamp when he heard Shi Xingyun mention that he wanted to use the Eternal Night Devil Stele to find the treasure.
The Boundless Bodhi Lamp of Light was a Buddhist treasure from the ancient times. Its power originated from the Boundless Bodhi Sutra, which was one of the Five Buddha Sutras. It was passed down to Zen Master Zhi Guang during the medieval era and became his personal treasure.
Although Zen Master Zhi Guang used the Buddha's Amitabha Sutra to cultivate the Golden Body of Buddhism, he also dabbled in the Infinite Light Buddha Sutra. Controlling the Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp, the man and the talisman complemented each other and could even promote each other.
After receiving the Eternal Night Devil Stele from Lin Feng, Zhu Yi refined it. In order to more effectively control and unleash the effects of this magic treasure, other than comprehending the concepts within, Zhu Yi also seriously understood the past of this treasure.
During the medieval era, the original owner of the Eternal Night Devil Stele, Demon Venerable Qianye from the Night Demon Sect, and Zen Master Zhi Guang, an elder of the Great Thunderclap Temple, were close friends even though one belonged to the Devil Dao and the other belonged to the Righteous Dao. During the early medieval era, when the Righteous Dao and the Devil Dao were not so antagonistic, they often visited each other.
Even their accompanying Dharma treasures, the Eternal Night Devil Stele and the Immeasurable Light Bodhi Heart Lamp, had become good friends. One light and one dark, the two Dharma treasures of the Incarnation Grade, had a rather good relationship with each other.
It was only when the Boundless Bodhi Lamp of Light went missing and Zen Master Zhi Guang perished in a war between the two worlds that their friendship came to an end.
After Zen Master Zhi Guang passed away, Demon Venerable Qianye brought the Eternal Night Devil Stele to search for the Boundless Bodhi Lamp of Light. Unfortunately, he did not have any clues and could only leave the matter unsettled.
He did not expect that the treasure was lost on the Immortal Mountain in the Immortal Abode Continent.
Zhu Yi glanced at Shi Xingyun. "How did she find out about this?"
He summoned the Eternal Night Devil Stele, and the artifact spirit transformed into the image of a black-robed middle-aged man. After listening to Zhu Yi's explanation, the artifact spirit named Eternal Night revealed a rare trace of excitement on its usually expressionless face.
Yong Ye was not in a hurry to reply. Silently, he sensed his surroundings and continuously expanded his spiritual power. Circles after circles of black ripples spread out.
After a long while, Yong Ye said in a deep voice, "The Light Bodhi Tree did indeed appear here!"
"The immortal mountain's spiritual energy is too majestic, and it's disrupting my senses. I can't determine his exact location now, but he's inside this Yingzhou immortal mountain."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhu Yi immediately nodded and said to Shi Xingyun, "Princess Xingyun, if you're sincere about cooperating with us, we'll make a move now."
Shi Xingyun said, "I only want the Radiant Soul Puppet. To me, the Immortal Mountain itself is naturally my primary goal, but the Radiant Soul Puppet is the most practical goal."
The two of them met at the fork in the middle of the passageway and entered the fork together. As expected, it was another pitch-black passageway.
Zhu Yi turned his head to look at the yellow-dressed lady beside him. He wondered what kind of existence the Radiant Soul Puppet was and why Shi Xingyun valued it so much.
Zhu Yi had never heard of such a so-called dragon-shaped spirit monster, nor did he know if it was useful or dangerous.
What interested him more was that even if it was the reincarnation of a dragon's soul, how did Shi Xingyun, who was only at the middle stage of the Yuanying Realm, manage to restore the Divine Ability of the Blood River Heavenly Lord to such an extent in the Starry Sky Illusion?
According to Zhu Yi's observation, Shi Xingyun had never cultivated the Blood River True Skill or the Blood River Sect's Divine Ability. Just like him and Xiao Yan, she was only practicing at the last minute. It was truly rare for her to be able to unleash the great power of the starlight condensed by the Blood River Heavenly Lord's soul imprint.
Apart from not being able to unleash the core power of the Dao Integration Dao Fruit, which was the peak of the Blood River Heavenly Lord, it was similar to the resurrection of the Blood River Heavenly Lord.
However, this was a normal situation. What Monk Da Kong had done was almost equivalent to elevating himself to the third tier of the Golden Body Realm and manifesting the Pure Land of Victory.
According to Shi Xingyun's control of the Divine Soul and her understanding of the Dao Methods of Heaven and Earth while controlling the starlight incarnation of the Blood River Heavenly Lord, only a cultivator who had reached the Essence Soul Realm could do that.
For example, King Jingfang Shi Lin controlled the starlight incarnation of the Golden Crow Great Sage.
Zhu Yi was not arrogant, but he would never belittle himself. Apart from him, Xiao Yan, and other Senior Brothers, there were not many people who could reach this level in the Yuanying Realm.
In particular, Shi Xingyun was the reincarnation of a dragon's soul. Even if she had been a Great Sage of the Demon Clan in her previous life, it would have been impossible for her to comprehend the essence of the Dao Methods and Divine Abilities of a third-tier Essence Soul Realm expert of the Human Clan so easily. To be precise, if she had used the power of her previous life, it would have been much more difficult.
The strangeness of this aspect was Zhu Yi's biggest question at the moment.
However, he did not say much about it. After all, everyone had their own secrets.
"He's nearby!" Yong Ye, who looked like a middle-aged man in black, suddenly became spirited. He looked toward the depths of the tunnel.
Zhu Yi and Shi Xingyun looked at each other and rushed forward. However, they slowed down at the same time after walking for a short distance.
Yong Ye's expression suddenly darkened. "It's indeed the Light Bodhi, but there's someone else near him!"
Almost at the same time, the other party seemed to have sensed their arrival. Zhu Yi and Shi Xingyun only moved slightly before speeding up.
A bright and pure light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black tunnel. When Zhu Yi and Shi Xingyun got closer, they saw an ancient lamp in front of them. There was only one wick on the lampstand. The top of the wick was not lit up by a flame, but by an extremely pure light.
With just a glance, Zhu Yi felt a kind of boundless light, a profound state of Great Freedom Realization.
Zen Master Dade, who had joined Xuanmen Tianzong, cultivated the complete version of the Infinite Light Buddha Sutra. Apart from the basic sutra, the Great Light Mantra, and the Fighting Method Three Thousand Times Illumination, the core general principle, the Amitabha Sutra, was also complete.
Under the tacit consent of Monk Dade, Zhu Yi had once studied the complete version of the Infinite Light Buddha Sutra. Although he had not formally cultivated it, his understanding of this exquisite Buddhist dharma was not inferior to that of the direct disciples of the Great Leiyin Temple.
In the white light illuminated by the lamp, they could vaguely see a milky-white hornless dragon. It was small and looked like a ray of light. It kept swimming in the air, but its range did not go beyond the core area of the lamp.
"This is the Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp. That milky-white hornless dragon is the Light Soul Puppet that Shi Xingyun wants …" Zhu Yi looked at the middle-aged monk who was standing next to the lamp. It was Monk Da Kong.
At that moment, Monk Da Kong seemed to be talking to the Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp's treasure, the Primordial Spiritual Light Bodhi. He was trying to refine it.
Although he looked calm, his eyes were obviously dimmer than before he ascended Yingzhou Immortal Mountain.
After being severely injured twice in the Starry Illusion, Monk Da Kong's vitality was greatly damaged even though he had a strong foundation in Buddhist Dharma.
He had found the Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp with the help of Zen Master Zhi Guang's Sarira, but it was not convenient for him to refine it by force. Therefore, he could only negotiate slowly. Who knew that enemies would meet on a narrow road and he would bump into Zhu Yi and Shi Xingyun.
Although he was injured by Zhu Yi and Shi Xingyun, Monk Da Kong did not feel much emotional at that moment. Even though he was injured, he still had a firm grasp of his state of mind and willpower.
However, he could not help but have a bad feeling. He was afraid that there would be many twists and turns for him to refine the Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp.
As soon as Yong Ye saw the Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp, he said, "Light Bodhi, it's been many years. I didn't expect you to be trapped in Yingzhou Immortal Mountain."
An old and calm voice came from the Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp. "I've embarrassed myself in front of you, my old friend."
The Eternal Night Devil Stele and Zhu Yi were telepathically connected. It immediately said to the Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp, "Light Bodhi, although Monk Da Kong has Zen Master Zhi Guang's Sarira, he's a thief who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors. You should be able to sense that he has refined Zen Master Zhi Guang's Sarira!"
The Light Bodhi fell silent. The spiritual light on the lamp's wick was shaking slightly. Because it noticed this, it did not accept Monk Da Kong's refinement earlier.
Monk Da Kong chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice and said with a smile, "Buddha is only in the heart. With Buddha in the heart, everyone can become Buddha. Therefore, in the past, not only did Buddha not leave a Sarira Golden Body, he didn't even leave any clothes or statues."
"Although your disciple's cultivation base is low, I know that the Spirit Mirror is originally pure. Although the senior monks of the past have passed away, they might not have the thought of leaving their Sarira Remains for the later generations to admire. It's just us juniors opening up spirit cages in our hearts to worship our ancestors and seek peace of mind. "
"However, to our ancestors, entering the cycle of reincarnation after death is a new experience. The Sarira Remains of our previous lives are already completely irrelevant."
"Inheriting Buddha's Dharma and guiding the people of the world is the right way to worship our ancestors, not to be restricted by these small things."
Zhu Yi said faintly, "Master, you have a good tongue. However, there's something I don't understand. Could it be that in your opinion, destroying the Great Thunderclap Temple is the only way to inherit Buddha's legacy?"
The Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp's Buddha light shook violently. The Light Bodhi's old voice came from within. "Is this true?"
Yong Ye said in a deep voice, "Light Bodhi, you've been trapped in Yingzhou Celestial Mountain for tens of thousands of years. However, you don't know that the Boundless World outside the Divine Land is completely different. The Great Thunderclap Temple was destroyed decades ago!"
"The Dharma Ending of Buddhism is inseparable from this Monk Da Kong in front of you. He's a spy in the allied forces to destroy Buddhism."
Light Bodhi's heart trembled violently. "How is this possible? The Great Thunderclap Temple has the protection of the Nirvana treasure, Mount Meru. How can it be destroyed just like that? "
Monk Da Kong listened to the Eternal Night Devil Tablet's accusations calmly. He did not deny it. Instead, he said calmly, "Until today, I don't regret what happened in the past. The abbot and the others went astray and went against Buddha's teachings. They brought shame to the Great Thunderclap Temple's reputation."
"You said that it was the Dharma Ending of Buddhism. However, in the eyes of me and other like-minded people, it's a rebirth through calamity!"
He looked calmly at the Infinite Light Bodhi Heart Lamp. "I believe that if Zen Master Zhi Guang was still alive, he would also think the same way!"
"Senior Light Bodhi, if you want to know the secret, why don't you leave with me first? We can talk about it later. Now that Yingzhou Celestial Mountain is about to be born, it's not convenient for me to explain."
