"Fiendish Demon Battlefield?"
Ye Zifeng said softly, "I know. Before you came, I already told the Sect Master about this. At that time, the Purple Flame Sect will have a spot for you. However … "
Xiao Chen thought to himself, This senior brother is really thoughtful. Before I even said anything, he already took care of this matter in advance.
However, what is it?
"However, don't overthink it. With your strength, you are not at the peak of the entire Black Cave Mountain. In the three blessed lands, the gap is even greater. You are not on the same level as the top ten true inheritors … "
Ye Zifeng's words were already very tactful. If it were someone else, they would have been much more direct.
With your strength, don't overthink it. Just go in and play. That was the general gist of it.
When Xiao Chen heard that, he was stunned. However, this was the truth. After all, every sect had true inheritors.
True inheritors were not like Ling Yu and Feng Yu, who had high talent but mediocre cultivation.
Instead, true inheritors were at least Major Primal Core cultivators.
In the outside world, any true inheritor could rival a Rank 3 sect Elder like Elder Tang. The peak true inheritors might not be much weaker than the Iron Hand Yama.
There was no helping it. They had high talent, abundant resources, strong bloodlines, and high cultivations. They were at the peak in every aspect.
All in all, their combat prowess would naturally be terrifyingly high.
"If you want to gain something, you need to break through to the Primal Core Realm. However, I don't think you can break through this bottleneck quickly. Personally, I do not recommend forcefully breaking through. There is no need to waste your future for a Fiendish Demon Battlefield. "
Ye Zifeng's suggestion was very far-sighted.
If one forcefully broke through, they would not be able to fully unleash the strong foundation that they laid in the Veritable Essence Stage.
Using short-term benefits in exchange for long-term benefits was indeed not very wise.
After gaining Ye Zifeng's opinion, Xiao Chen's originally somewhat restless heart about the Fiendish Demon Battlefield slowly calmed down.
Compared to his senior brother, Xiao Chen's mentality is still somewhat lacking.
"Many thanks for Senior Brother's advice. Otherwise, I really would not know when I would be able to calm down," Xiao Chen said sincerely with a cupped-fist salute.
Ye Zifeng smiled warmly. "How unfortunate. If you were born earlier, Master would definitely like you a lot. When I was your age, I couldn't see through it, I couldn't see through it … "
There was a hint of guilt in his eyes. When he was young, he seemed to have done something impulsive.
Xiao Chen didn't want to ask too much, so he changed the topic. "Senior Brother, is Master still alive?"
At the mention of Pan Huang, Ye Zifeng revealed a smile. "Master opened his nine acupoints many years ago, opening nine Divine Veins in his body. His physical body is already immortal, reaching an undying body. If there are no accidents, he can live for a very, very long time, so long that he can't live any longer. But with Master's personality, it's hard to say … "
Xiao Chen had heard from the Jiao Snake that Pan Huang naturally liked to take risks and was restless and calm. He liked to go to the most dangerous forbidden areas. The places he went to were definitely forbidden areas that could threaten his life.
It was hard to say whether he would be able to survive until now.
Ye Zifeng waved his hand, and a string of Buddhist beads and a bottle of Medicinal Pills floated towards Xiao Chen.
"This is …" Xiao Chen said, feeling doubtful.
Ye Zifeng said softly, "Previously, when I stood guard for you, I discovered that you already started to practice the Buddhist sect's Profound Grade Saber Technique, the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique. You even comprehended the saber's true meaning. With this Saber Technique, I don't need to give you the secret manual of the saber. When I visited the Hidden Spirit Temple in the past, an esteemed monk who condensed a bodhisattva gave me this Buddhist bead. I believe it will be of some help to you.
"There is also a bottle of Purple Cloud Pill, a Medicinal Pill for treating injuries. I refined it in my free time. Although we do not purposely go to the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, we still have to snatch the fortuitous encounters that we should.
"After all, it is a Remnant that a Divine Vein powerhouse left behind. If not for the fact that Senior Brother cannot enter, even I would be interested in it, much less those true inheritors."
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. This senior brother of his was really good.
The most important thing was that Xiao Chen had heard from Ling Yu that Ye Zifeng rarely gave gifts. However, when he did, it would definitely be an important gift.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
After obtaining the bracelet and the Medicinal Pill, Xiao Chen left in joy.
As Ye Zifeng watched Xiao Chen leave, he muttered, "We both came from the Kunlun Realm. Back then, Master might have been like Junior Brother now. However, he possesses the Blue Dragon bloodline … Don't make the same mistake I did back then. "
Ye Zifeng had only entered the Purple Flame Sect for a few days, but he had already helped Xiao Chen a lot.
First, he resolved the Black Lotus Church's pursuit. Next, he protected Xiao Chen, preventing his bloodline from being exposed. Now, Ye Zifeng gave Xiao Chen a precious bracelet and life-saving Medicinal Pills.
This was completely unlike the senior brother that he had just met. Xiao Chen remembered all these favors in his heart.
Xiao Chen returned to Ling Yu's courtyard.
The first thing Xiao Chen did was take out the Buddhist beads and study them.
The Buddhist beads were polished from the Scarlet Pearls, one of the seven treasures of the Buddhist sects. The pearls were red and glossy, and there were a total of twelve of them. Each of them had Buddhist scriptures carved on them.
The Scarlet Pearls were said to be born in the bellies of a rare fish beast that lived in a forbidden sea.
That kind of fish beast was naturally intelligent and had lived for many epochs. They were very rare. The people of the Buddhist sects revered them as Holy Beasts. After they died and were cremated, they would produce pearls similar to the śarīras of eminent monks — the Scarlet Pearls.
According to the legends of the Buddhist sects, the ancestor of this fish beast formed a fate with the Primitive Buddha before the Primitive Buddha became a Buddha. The descendants of these fish beasts were born with a Buddhist nature and could stand shoulder to shoulder with eminent monks.
Over the epochs, the number of such fish beasts had dwindled.
Hence, every Scarlet Pearl was a priceless treasure that could be formed into a string of Buddhist beads. Furthermore, they had the support of eminent monks all year round. The value of their existence was immeasurable.
Most of the time, these Buddhist beads polished from Scarlet Pearls were known as śarīras.
Xiao Chen had spent a lot of effort in the Book of the Epochs before he managed to find this information.
After Xiao Chen learned of it, he was startled. Back then, the eminent monk that gave Senior Brother the Buddhist beads must have held an extremely high position in the Hidden Spirit Temple.
For Senior Brother to give it to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen would not be able to repay this favor.
It looked like Senior Brother was really worried about Xiao Chen clashing head-on with those true inheritors.
Xiao Chen also did not want Xiao Chen to force a breakthrough in the heat of the moment, wasting the foundation that he laid earlier.
Senior Brother really put in a lot of thought.
Without breaking through, Xiao Chen would have to fight with these true inheritors. The three moves of the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique were undoubtedly Xiao Chen's greatest trump cards.
Breaking the Mundane, Resolving the Mundane, and Entering Hell.
As long as Xiao Chen refined one move, he would be able to fight with those true inheritors. Learning two moves would be sufficient for him to compete with them. Mastering all three moves would allow him to suppress them.
Understanding his senior brother's intentions, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He held the śarīra Buddhist beads in his right hand and closed his eyes to comprehend them.
Xiao Chen circulated Breaking the Mundane in his body as he gently moved the Buddhist beads with his thumb. Soon, the Buddhist beads gave off a faint light.
A gentle Buddhist light radiated from Xiao Chen's palm, covering him in a layer of pure and holy light.
Xiao Chen did not know anything about Buddhism. He only managed to comprehend the true meaning of Breaking the Mundane after seeing what happened to the Iron Hand Yama.
By chance, Xiao Chen understood that since the Buddha-heart existed, he was Buddha. Whether it was broken or not, it did not matter. Only then did he comprehend the true meaning of the saber.
However, Xiao Chen had only just reached the threshold. He had not truly condensed the Buddha-heart, so the swastika on his forehead could not appear.
Now, with these Buddhist Śarīra Pearls, he would be like half an esteemed monk when he held them.
Although Xiao Chen could not explain the Buddhist principles, he could understand them in his heart.
Cultivating the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique would definitely yield twice the result with half the effort. Combined with Xiao Chen's high comprehension ability, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
Many people could not comprehend the true meaning of Buddhist sect Martial Techniques because they did not understand the Buddhist Dharma.
With these śarīra Buddhist beads, Xiao Chen would be very different. He would be able to sweep away the greatest obstacle to cultivating the Buddhist sect's Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's various experiences flashed through his mind like a painting.
As the painting unfolded in this gentle Buddhist light, it was like he experienced the mundane world all over again.
This time, Xiao Chen's comprehension was even deeper than the previous time. The number of scenes that appeared was also several times greater.
Countless scenes layered over each other, bringing out the pinnacle of the mundane world's troubles.
Birth, old age, sickness, and death, resentment and hatred, separation from love, unattainable …
However, Xiao Chen's heart was already as clear as a mirror. With the śarīra Buddhist beads in hand, he could see everything clearly.
Xiao Chen shouted, and the mundane world turned into flames, burning fiercely in the entire room.
Breaking the precepts and leaving, achieving peace. Furthermore, using the mundane world as a furnace to temper my Buddha-heart.
As the fire burned, it looked very scary. Xiao Chen stood in the center of the fire, his eyes closed as he held the śarīra Buddhist beads. A Buddhist light shone on his palm, looking calm.
The strand of golden Buddhist light on Xiao Chen's forehead grew increasingly resplendent as if it would come out at any moment.
