"What is Yin and Yang?" Chu Li asked immediately, "The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture talks about Yin and Yang, but what is Yin and Yang?"
"Heaven and Earth are divided into Yin and Yang, one void and one reality." Earth Lotus smiled. "The Yin and Yang mentioned in the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture is nothing more than these two points. Turning Yin into Yang means using void to meet reality."
Chu Li shook his head. "This is too shallow. Life and death are also Yin and Yang. What is life and death?"
"Reality is life, void is death," Earth Lotus answered.
Chu Li shook his head again. "There is a mystery between life and death. Life is movement, death is stillness, so Yin and Yang are movement and stillness. Yin and Yang are void and reality, movement and stillness, rise and fall, advance and retreat, up and down."
Earth Lotus said, "The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture talks about life and death. Life and death are all about life and death, everything else is trivial."
Chu Li did not just ask for advice, he also debated.
The twelve red-robed monks sat at the side and listened quietly, trying to keep up with them. However, the two spoke faster and faster, their thoughts moving at lightning speed. They could not keep up and could only try to remember what they said and analyze it in detail when they returned.
Chu Li was secretly amazed at the depth of Earth Lotus's dharmic base. It changed his impression of the Reincarnation Temple. It seemed like the Reincarnation Temple did not only cultivate martial arts but also dharmic base like the Tempest Temple.
Earth Lotus looked calm but was secretly amazed at Chu Li's deep understanding of dharmic base. He was indeed a natural disciple of Buddhism. If he could really convert him into the Reincarnation Temple, it would be a great merit.
Ever since he stepped into the mortal world, he had been thinking about the Reincarnation Temple.
Chu Li's position as the world's number one master was stable. Even if the Celestials and Asuras interfered, it would be difficult to shake his position.
The Reincarnation Temple did not have much of a conflict of interest with him. However, because of the repeated attacks, he could not take it anymore. Now, the Reincarnation Temple did not have any conflict of interest with Chu Li.
In the end, he decided to let go of his personal grudges and not continue to be entangled with Chu Li. If the Reincarnation Temple wanted to continue to exist, they needed to compromise and mend their relationship.
This conversion was the beginning of a reconciliation.
Two hours later, the two stopped talking and closed their eyes.
Chu Li had gained a lot from this. He felt that all his questions had been answered, and the fog that was shrouding the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture had been removed, revealing its true face. The Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture circulated in his heart, and everything in the world turned into Yin and Yang.
His understanding of the Dharma was profound, and coupled with his comprehension of the Life and Death Scripture, it was even easier for him to comprehend the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. This debate with the Earth Lotus caused his comprehension of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture to suddenly deepen by a large margin, as if he had come into contact with the true essence of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture.
He could vaguely feel that the magical effect of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture was to reverse life and death. It was said to have been created by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great vow that he would not become a Buddha until hell was empty. He wanted hell to be empty, so he created the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture to save the people in hell. As long as he cultivated the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, he would be able to reverse life and death and return to the human world from hell.
Although he did not know whether it was true or not, the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture did have the miraculous effect of reversing life and death.
If he did not comprehend the Life and Death Scripture, he might still have doubts about reversing life and death, thinking that there was no such magical technique in the world, and that it was only a legend. After comprehending the Life and Death Scripture, he had reversed life and death several times, so he firmly believed in it.
Faith was the foundation of everything, especially the Dharma. Faith was spiritual, and Buddhist martial arts relied on the Dharma. Therefore, it required faith, and only faith could lead to progress and success.
The Earth Lotus Monk closed his eyes and meditated, feeling that he had gained a lot.
The twelve red-robed monks were also quiet and did not move. In their minds, they recalled what the Earth Lotus Monk had said, over and over again, and each time, they were enlightened.
After a while, Chu Li opened his eyes. "Thank you, Great Master!"
The Earth Lotus Monk pressed his palms together. "Thank you, Almsgiver Chu."
Chu Li said, "Great Master, I want to go into isolated cultivation in the Wheel Pagoda to comprehend the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture."
"Very well, of course." The Earth Lotus Monk smiled.
Chu Li shook his head. "Great Master, please don't misunderstand. I'm not being converted. I just have a deep understanding of the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, and the Wheel Pagoda is the best place to comprehend it."
"I understand." The Earth Lotus Monk's smile did not diminish.
Chu Li did not explain further. He turned around and went downstairs. He sat in the middle of the first floor and closed his eyes.
"Honorable Master." A middle-aged red-robed monk pressed his palms together. "Isn't it a little inappropriate to let Almsgiver Chu stay in the Wheel Pagoda?"
"It's fine." The Earth Lotus Monk said, "If Almsgiver Chu can comprehend the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, it'll be a blessing for the Wheel Temple. You've had a great opportunity, so take care and cultivate in isolation."
"Yes!" The middle-aged red-robed monk pressed his palms together solemnly.
The other eleven red-robed monks did not say anything else. They closed their eyes and continued to comprehend.
The Earth Lotus Monk glanced downstairs as if he could see Chu Li. He smiled and was overjoyed. No matter what, he had erased Chu Li's hostility toward the Wheel Temple. As for the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, it was for the fated to obtain. Since Chu Li was fated with the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture, if he could comprehend it, he could become a good knowledge of the Wheel Temple. The Wheel Temple would benefit from him.
Chu Li sat cross-legged in the middle of the first floor and sighed.
Although he could not see through the Earth Lotus Monk's thoughts, he vaguely understood that after his current position was stabilized, other people's attitudes began to change.
For example, the Wheel Temple had always wanted to kill him. Now that they felt that his position as the number one master in the Mortal World was stable, they felt that they had no confidence in killing him. Hence, they accepted him and were no longer hostile.
He quickly put aside these distracting thoughts and focused on the Wheel Pagoda.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and blended with the Wheel Pagoda as if he had become one with it. He carefully felt every brick and tile of the Wheel Pagoda, its structure and shape, and every detail. He wanted to become one with it.
He first used the Omniscient Mirror to observe, then his mind began to envelop the entire pagoda and slowly merged with it.
Thanks to his powerful soul, his mind slowly immersed into the pagoda and felt its unique aura. A sense of danger and fatality surfaced in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment before continuing to immerse his mind into the pagoda.
As time passed, his sense of danger became clearer. This Wheel Pagoda was like a deadly beast that wanted to devour him. It was only watching him coldly from the sidelines. Its mouth was already wide open, ready to swallow him at any time.
After Chu Li's mind moved, he hesitated for a moment.
He believed in his intuition that this pagoda was definitely a fatal danger. If he was not careful, he would vanish into thin air. Not only would his body be destroyed, but his soul would also be completely destroyed.
However, he was unwilling to give up just like that. This was because this pagoda contained the essence of cultivating the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture. If he succeeded, he would be able to cultivate the Earth Matrix and Reincarnation Scripture completely and truly master the power to reverse life and death.
Not only his own life and death, but the life and death of others as well. How could he be willing to give up just like that?
After thinking for a moment, he decided to continue immersing his mind into the pagoda. He wanted to become one with the pagoda.
"Roar!" A loud roar rang in his ears. A monster appeared out of thin air in front of him. It looked like a Spirit Tiger, a Spirit Lion, a Vermillion Bird, and a Kirin. He had never seen such a strange appearance before. Its bloody mouth was as big as a mountain and it came down on him.
