The Shixin Dharma Assembly was considered a relatively important ceremony near Shenguan City. The specific location was near the lotus pond. It was located in the lotus pond mountain range three thousand miles west of Shenguan City. This scenic spot even nurtured heaven-class treasures like the five-colored golden lotus.
Normally, several major temples would jointly send Deity Transformation cultivators to guard the outside. As for the lotus pond inside, it was sealed by several abbot who joined forces to cast a spell and use an incomparably powerful Buddhist power to seal it.
Every time a five-colored golden lotus matured in the pond, it was the time to hold the Shixin Dharma Assembly.
This time, Shenguan Temple's representative was Abbot Liao Chen and Yi Tian who looked like Ku Toutuo. Previously, when Liao Chen asked for help, Yi Tian knew that this matter could not be declined. He had a request, and Liao Chen had seen this point and made such a request.
After he agreed, Liao Chen was relieved. Afterwards, he explained that although the long-distance transportation formation could be used, it might not be able to directly transport to the Great Lightning Temple. At best, it could only be used to reach the largest stronghold in the area, Jia Xiu City. There would definitely be a point-to-point transportation formation there.
In this way, he was bound to take a detour, but in the blink of an eye, he could save a lot of effort.
As for the Shixin Dharma Assembly, Yi Tian had heard Monk Kong Xing mention it before. In addition, Liao Chen's junior brother came to ask for the participation jade slip, which naturally made Yi Tian very interested.
After asking carefully, he learned that the Shixin Dharma Assembly was divided into two parts, the written test and the martial arts competition. The top five in each part could obtain a five-colored golden lotus leaf petal. The top three could also obtain a lotus seed. The first place in the written test could also obtain a lotus seed.
From this, it could be seen that the Shixin Dharma Assembly was still focused on studying Buddhist doctrine. As for the martial arts competition, it was to test the results of one's cultivation. However, one had to use Buddhist techniques. Once any non-Buddhist techniques were used, it would immediately be judged as a loss.
This assembly was hosted by the Great Snow Mountain's Ming Lun Temple and Jia Xiu Sect's Severed Soul experts. After learning about this, Yi Tian learned that this was probably a joint ceremony between the Mahayana Sect and the Tantric Sect. Unfortunately, there were still many hidden interests, so the Tantric Sect's cultivators wanted to secretly attack their opponents before the assembly to increase their chances of winning.
Most importantly, more than 90% of the cultivators in the Buddhist Realm were from the Mahayana Sect. Just the sheer number of cultivators was enough to overwhelm the Tantric Buddhism Sect.
Several months later, two streaks of light flew out of Shenguan City and headed towards the Lotus Ripple Mountain Range. Before this, Yi Tian had also made sufficient preparations. He had taken out all the ready-made spirit artifacts in his possession to strengthen and refine them.
Now, he could only take out the Black Iron Alms Bowl, Nanmu Wooden Fish, and Colored Glass Buddhist Beads. Among them, only the Nanmu Wooden Fish had been refined using the Heavenly Thunder Eight Sounds secret technique.
He wasn't very professional when it came to the refinement of Buddhist artifacts. Fortunately, he had Dust's guidance to make up for his shortcomings. When he was refining the three spiritual artifacts again, he secretly imbued them with different Buddhist secret techniques.
The Black Iron Alms Bowl had both offense and defense, so the Buddha Beads Golden Sun Movement Technique's secret technique was integrated into it. As for the Glazed Buddha Beads, they were still infused with the Great Sun Sutra's cultivation technique. In addition, the Bodhi Heart-Concentrating Mantra's mantra was also carved on it.
When the two of them were close to the periphery of the Lotus Ripple Mountain Range, they saw a welcoming monk waiting in the air from afar. After flying forward, Liao Chen reached out his hand and took out the invitation jade slip and slowly handed it over.
After the welcoming monk checked the invitation, he glanced at the two of them and frowned slightly, "Greetings. I've heard that Abbot Liao Chen of Shenguan Temple is profound in Buddhism, but I don't know when another junior apprentice-brother appeared. A monk doesn't lie. Senior apprentice-brother Liao Chen, please explain to avoid any misunderstandings. "
After listening, Yi Tian was stunned. He didn't expect such a situation to happen. However, in the blink of an eye, Liao Chen seemed to have a card up his sleeve. He flew towards the welcoming monk and bowed, "Junior apprentice-brother Yi Tian is indeed not from Shenguan Temple, but he escorted my temple to order the treasures and said that he could help. Therefore, I'm grateful for his kindness, which is why I brought him here."
"This seems to be against the rules. Logically speaking, if he's a cultivator from your sect, there's nothing wrong with it," the welcoming monk said with a troubled expression, "But this person is a foreign itinerant monk. How is his Buddhist cultivation?"
"Naturally, he's much stronger than ordinary cultivators. At least he has cultivated a Corona," Liao Chen said. He then turned around and said, "Junior apprentice-brother Yi, can you show me your Corona Dharma Form?"
At this point, Yi Tian knew what Liao Chen was relying on. He had already come into contact with the Corona Golden Body when he was in the lower realm. Although he didn't cultivate it, he always took it as a warning. This time, he had an epiphany with Liao Chen in Shenguan Temple.
The Corona Golden Body was noted as an extremely profound supernatural power even in the Great Sun Scripture. Although it wasn't an offensive spell, it was the strongest among the auxiliary spells. After a few months of continuous exploration and bitter cultivation, he was finally able to slightly condense a Corona. However, his power was still shallow. It looked like a bright red disk behind his head.
Hearing this, Yi Tian's expression was helpless. He knew that Liao Chen must have a deeper meaning. He then put his hands together and said, "Appear." Suddenly, a ray of red light rose from behind him. A red Corona about half a foot long appeared faintly.
Seeing this, the welcoming monk was shocked. He hurriedly put his hands together and said, "Forgive me for my poor eyesight. Since you are an honored guest invited by Master Liao Chen, you can naturally participate in the Heart Release Ceremony."
Yi Tian hurriedly put away the Corona and flew forward. He also bowed and then followed behind Liao Chen without a word. He hadn't cultivated the Corona Dharma Form to perfection. The Corona Dharma Form was not as bright and clear as Liao Chen's. Recently, he also found that the Corona Dharma Form had changed. Not long after it appeared, there would be a faint purple halo in the Corona.
It was probably the effect of his natal true fire on the Corona Dharma Form. He couldn't find a reasonable explanation after flipping through the Great Sun Scripture. He could only put it aside and wait until he reached the Great Thunder Temple to ask the senior monks.
After bidding farewell to the welcoming monk, the two flew toward the lotus pond. Not long after, they could see that dozens of people had already arrived.
After slowly landing on the cloud, Liao Chen brought Yi Tian into the venue. He then introduced the people there. The host was the representative of the Jiaxiu Temple named Liao Yuan. According to Liao Chen's introduction, they were all cultivators of the same generation. The Shenguan Temple was originally a branch of the Jiaxiu Temple.
As for the representative of the Ming Lun Temple, he was a fat monk named Kong Yun. Yi Tian knew that this was not good. He guessed that this person was from the same sect as Kong Xing. If they met again, it might not be as easy to deal with him as last time.
As for the others, they all belonged to the branch of the Jiaxiu Temple like Liao Chen. When they met, they were very polite. However, the scene was very interesting. The people of the Mahayana Sect and the Tantric Sect only greeted each other on the surface. In private, they were divided into two groups and didn't have much to talk about.
