About two hours later, Yi Tian's figure retreated from the Shutuo Jade Annulus' light. Monk Jie Ding, who was sitting outside, opened his eyes and hurriedly stood up to approach him.
After sizing him up, Monk Jie Ding asked, "Sect Master Yi, did you gain a lot from it?"
Yi Tian nodded and smiled. "Thank you for your kind words, Master. I did indeed see the information left behind by the sect's seniors in the Shutuo Jade Annulus. It's also closely related to Master Hui Ming, who's also Senior Uncle Wuxiang, entering the Buddha Spirit World to study Buddhism. "
"In that case, Sect Master Yi, do you still want to investigate further?" Monk Jie Ding asked.
"Of course. After all, this concerns the safety of the Nine Upper Spiritual Realms and the stability of the various major planes. I'm duty-bound to do so," Yi Tian said.
Monk Jie Ding sighed and said, "I guess 10,000 years of entanglement is finally coming to an end."
"Master Jie Ding, there's no need to be so melancholy," Yi Tian said calmly, "I believe you fell into the Demon World because of Master Hui Ming of the Great Snow Mountain's Ming Lun Temple back then, right?"
Jie Ding pointed at the empty seat beside him and said, "This concerns the sect and the entire Buddha Spirit World's secrets. Let's sit down and talk about it."
Then, the two of them slowly walked to the side and sat facing each other. Monk Jie Ding then asked for no reason, "I wonder how much Sect Master Yi knows about the Mahayana and Hinayana sects of Buddhism?"
Yi Tian frowned when he heard that. It seemed like this secret must be related to the Mahayana and Hinayana sects of the Buddha Spirit World. He thought about it and said bluntly, "I only know that the Mahayana sects can cultivate the next life while the Hinayana sects cultivate the present life. The difference between the two is that the Mahayana sects can remove their karma after cultivating the next life. Then, they can be closer to the original intent of Buddhism on the path of cultivation. "
Monk Jie Ding smiled and did not say anything. He gestured for him to continue. Yi Tian pondered for a moment, then said, "I heard that the Buddhist sects in the Upper Immortal Realm are divided into Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and so on. In the Mahayana Sect, the ultimate realm is the 'Bodhisattva Realm'. In the Hinayana Sect, the 'Golden Arhat' is a level lower. As for the next level, one has to make great vows to finally reach the 'Buddha' realm. "
"Sect Master Yi is right. Actually, this is the same as the ascension of spiritual cultivators. True Immortals, Golden Immortals, Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, and Zenith Heaven Immortals," Monk Jie Ding confirmed, "Actually, I also want to study Buddhism for the elders of the two sects."
Yi Tian asked, "This is the master's wish. Did you receive any guidance from Master Hui Ming after you entered the Great Snow Mountain's Ming Lun Temple?"
"Indeed, but Great Master Hui Ming had already split himself into two back then. Half of his heart had already fallen into the Demonic World tens of thousands of years ago, becoming the Demonic Saint Tyranny." Monk Jie Ding's gaze seemed to have a deep meaning as he spoke.
As soon as he said that, Yi Tian's heart skipped a beat. Then, he blurted out, "Could it be that the 'Good and Evil Zen' that the master created back then came from this?"
"That's right," Monk Jie Ding replied affirmatively, "The initial form of this technique was found at Master Hui Ming's place. Back then, I didn't know why the ancestors and sages would have such an idea to create such a technique."
"It should be for the dual cultivation of Xuanhuang," Yi Tian immediately added.
"In the words of Buddhism, it should be 'One Thought of Buddhism and Demon' or 'Dual Cultivation of Buddhism and Demon'," Monk Jie Ding corrected.
"In that case, Senior Uncle Wu Xiang must have left many clues at the Great Snow Mountain's Ming Lun Temple back then. Does the master know why Master Hui Ming went to the Devil Realm alone?" Yi Tian probed.
"Actually, he was also troubled by this technique back then. His original intention was to split himself into two and let the nausea go to the Devil Realm to cultivate and absorb enough Devilish Force to replenish himself," Monk Jie Ding said after thinking for a while, "Meanwhile, his original body stayed in the Buddha Spirit World to study Buddhism. He tried to use Buddhism's natural ability to suppress the Devilish Force to restrain the nausea."
"But in the end, he didn't succeed. Moreover, after that disgusting doppelganger absorbed too much Devilfiend Origin Power in the Demon Realm, its cultivation actually surpassed the main body. So, in a moment of desperation, Master Hui Ming could only personally head to the Demon Realm to find a solution," Yi Tian deduced.
"That's why we thought Master Hui Ming's intention to go to the Devil Realm was very different from his true intention," Monk Jie Ding said.
"I've found Master Hui Ming's broken body in the Dark Demon Shrine in the Devil Realm. I've also seen his benevolent spirit," Yi Tian said, "He told me that Demon Saint Bao Li was a part of his soul. However, I don't know if his main soul has entered the cycle of reincarnation or is still in Bao Li's body?"
Monk Jie Ding replied without hesitation, "It must have been taken back by Bao Chi. It's just that Master Huiming left behind a backup plan. He severed a part of his soul and hid it in Kindness' body. That's why he could communicate with you."
"If that's the case, how should I deal with Demon Saint Bao Li in the future?" Yi Tian asked.
"Actually, I've also improved on the 'One Thought of Buddhism and Demon' technique. After experimenting, I found something strange," Monk Jie Ding suddenly said.
"Did you experiment on Master Wu Ye?" Yi Tian asked.
Monk Jie Ding nodded and replied, "That's right. I remember that I've interacted with the Great Sage Wu Ye in my previous life. He also agreed to participate in the cultivation of this technique. That's why the Great Sage Wu Ye split himself into good and evil in the previous invasion of the Devil Realm. "
"There's something that I don't understand. Please enlighten me, Monk Jie Ding," Yi Tian asked, "I remember that I worshipped Grandmaster Wu Ye's disgusting Divine Transformation in the Lower Realm. However, I didn't expect that the disgusting Divine Transformation would triumph over Benevolence thousands of years later."
"Actually, when I was the Sacred Demon Crown Prince Qiu Yu back then, I had also experimented on myself several times. I even had to dig out my heart and lungs to cut out my good heart." Monk Jie Ding said, "I'm sure you've already found my good heart from my previous life in the Spiritual Realm."
Yi Tian naturally understood that Monk Jie Ding was referring to the incident at the Jade Flower Pavilion in the Wanghai Sea. He nodded and gestured for Monk Jie Ding to continue.
Monk Jie Ding continued, "The Great Sage Wu Ye is indeed very powerful. When he split himself into two, he used the Taoist's Wuji to create Taiji, Taiji to create Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang to create the Four Images."
"Isn't this the Yin and Yang Fish in the Taiji Diagram? There's white in black, and black in white," Yi Tian blurted out.
"That's right. When you became the disciple of the black Wu Ye, Wu Ye naturally knew about the white as well," Monk Jie Ding explained with a smile, "That's why you're the Great Sage Wu Ye's last disciple."
