As soon as Chu Li stepped into the Titanium Temple, he immediately felt a surge of golden energy. It was the energy released by the Titanium Sarira. As he stood within it, his entire body felt warm and cozy, and he no longer had any competitive spirit.
Chu Li knew that this energy was being emitted by the sariras, which was the dojo of the Titanium Temple. Even if the disciples of the Titanium Temple died, they could still live on in the dojo and live the life they wanted.
Master Kong Hai led him inside and came to the courtyard. He smiled and said, "Almsgiver Chu wants to cultivate the Inner Sight, right?"
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "Master, you know about it?"
Kong Hai smiled and said, "If I don't know why Benefactor Chu has come, why would I wait for so long?"
"That's right. It must be very difficult for me to cultivate the Eye of Insight, right?" Chu Li said, "The Buddha's Light isn't complete enough, so it's difficult to open my eyes."
Master Kong Hai shook his head gently and said, "Mister Chu, you are born with a Buddhist nature and you are indeed a top-notch talent. Originally, it was not difficult to cultivate the Eye of Heaven. Back then, it was easy to cultivate the Limbs of God. Unfortunately, the Limbs of God hindered the Eye of Heaven. Every cause has its effect, and every effect has its cause."
Chu Li was shocked. "Could it be that after God's Limbs, the Eye of the Sky is even more difficult?"
"Exactly." Master Kong Hai said, "Supernatural power is something that will naturally appear after the Buddha nature is fulfilled, it's as natural as eating and sleeping."
Chu Li asked, "Is there any way to remedy this?"
"Recite the Dharma more. The deeper your understanding of the Dharma, the more wisdom you will have, and your supernatural powers will be born naturally." Master Kong Hai smiled. "This is not as difficult for Almsgiver Chu as it is for others."
Chu Li nodded. "I'll start chanting then."
Master Kong Hai smiled. "Almsgiver Chu, please follow me."
He turned around and walked to the side with Chu Li following closely behind. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
His gaze fell on a young monk who was walking out of the main hall. His yellow Buddhist robe fluttered in the wind, and his handsome face was calm and composed.
Chu Li was shocked. "Xu An?"
"Chief Chu." Xu An placed his palms together and greeted respectfully.
Chu Li quickly asked, "Why are you here?"
Master Kong Hai smiled and said, "It seems that Almsgiver Chu doesn't know that Apprentice-Nephew Xu Kong has returned."
Chu Li frowned. "What about the Lower Realm …?"
Xu An said, "The throne has been passed to Aunt Xiao!"
Chu Li shook his head. He did not expect such a big thing to happen without him knowing. He quickly asked, "Can Second Eldest Sister handle it?"
At first, he had planned to give her the blessing before she became the empress, in case the throne couldn't bear it. However, he didn't have the time to act, and Xu An had already ascended to the heavens. This was too sudden!
"Yes." Xu An smiled and said, "Aunt Xiao has successfully inherited the throne."
Chu Li sighed. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xu An revealed a helpless expression. "I wanted to wait a little longer, but …"
Master Kong Hai said, "Junior Nephew Xu An has achieved great success. It's time for him to come up, and he's about to ascend to the First Heaven."
Chu Li revealed a curious expression as he sized up Xu An. He realized that Xu An's cultivation level was profound, far surpassing his own. He could not see through him.
The more he thought about it, the more surprised he was.
Ever since he had ascended, he had encountered many fortuitous encounters, and his cultivation had continued to soar. Even though he was slightly inferior to Fu Caiwei, who was the top youth expert, he was still strong enough to look down on his peers and rarely had a worthy opponent.
However, Xu An had actually far surpassed him, and even surpassed Fu Caiwei. It was truly miraculous.
"This is the mystery of our Ten Lifetimes of Dharma." Master Kong Hai smiled and said, "The cultivation level of every lifetime is accumulated. Once you have achieved great success in this lifetime, you'll be able to recover your previous lifetime's cultivation level."
Chu Li asked, "The accumulation of several lifetimes' cultivation level?"
"Yes." Master Kong Hai smiled and said, "Junior Nephew Xu An has achieved great success and obtained the accumulation of four lifetimes' cultivation level."
Chu Li slowly nodded. "No wonder! … What an amazing Ten Lifetimes of Dharma. … Congratulations, Xu An. "
Xu An smiled and shook his head. "It's a pity that I can't always accompany Aunt Xiao."
"Isn't it the Ten Lifetimes of Dharma? You can just continue to the next lifetime. Do you still want to continue? … Will your Ten Lifetimes of Dharma restore the memory of your previous lifetime? "
"Yes. I can remember all the experiences of four lifetimes, but no matter what, Aunt Xiao can't be forgotten, "Xu An said slowly.
"Sigh … It's really not easy for her to support the Ji Dynasty all by herself," Chu Li said.
"That's right. I'm really worried, but unfortunately, I can't go back to accompany her anymore." Xu An sighed.
"Why can't I go back? Don't I still have a few lifetimes?" Chu Li asked.
"In the fifth lifetime, I'll ascend to the upper heaven," Master Kong Hai said slowly. "After achieving great success in four lifetimes, I'll step into the third heaven. I can't stay on the second heaven anymore." Master Kong Hai said slowly.
"What happens after I become a Buddha? Will I step into the ninth heaven?" Chu Li asked.
"That's right. Once I become a Buddha, I'll enter the ninth heaven," Master Kong Hai said. "Buddha will stay in the ninth heaven and won't stay here."
Chu Li asked, "Then how can Xu An ascend to the third heaven?"
"Rainbow Ascension." Master Kong Hai smiled. "Xu An's current cultivation level isn't perfect enough, so he can't reach the state of rainbow transformation. But it's almost there. I think it won't take long for him to ascend to the third heaven."
Chu Li asked, "What about you, Master Kong Hai?"
"I've cultivated for three lifetimes. Although I'm a master's uncle, I'm not as good as Junior Nephew Xu An." Master Kong Hai shook his head.
Chu Li sighed. "It's really mysterious. Xu An, go and busy yourself. I'll ask Master Kong Hai for guidance."
Xu An bowed with pressed palms and left.
Chu Li pondered and thought of the Lower Realm.
He couldn't wait to see Siao Shi. How was the Lower Realm? Would she be able to hold her position as an Empress? Would she be chased out by the courtiers? Although she was an Enlightened Master, she was still a woman.
If these courtiers were to oppose firmly, they wouldn't be able to kill all the courtiers if the law didn't punish the majority.
Master Kong Hai continued to walk forward. Chu Li followed him to a quiet courtyard.
"This is where I usually stay. Almsgiver Chu, please stay here for now." Master Kong Hai smiled. "Almsgiver Chu, do you want to deal with the affairs of the mortal world before focusing on cultivation?"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. "No need. I'll cultivate the Heaven's Eye first."
No matter what, Siao Shi did not crush the jade pendant. Her life was not in danger, so he could wait. Siao Shi's skills were powerful. She might be able to hold the throne by herself.
Master Kong Hai nodded and left.
Chu Li stepped into the courtyard. The feeling of tranquility appeared again. It was even more tranquil than the outside. It was as if everything in the world had calmed down. The matters of the mortal world were suddenly far away from him. It was as if they had nothing to do with him.
His thoughts turned quickly. He admired this quiet courtyard more and more. This extraordinary heart was not something an ordinary person could have. It required enough experience and emotional setbacks to be born out of coincidence.
With this heart, it was the foundation to cultivate the Dharma. Without the extraordinary heart, it would be useless no matter how proficient one was in the Dharma. It was superficial and could not truly step into the cultivation of the Dharma.
Chu Li sat on the cattail hassock in the living room. He began to read the scripture that Fu Caiwei passed to him. Every word appeared in his mind and integrated into his body.
After an unknown amount of time, it was as if he had become one with the scripture. He gradually forgot himself.
