Chapter 1042 The Dark Side of Hope

Chapter 1042 The Dark Side of Hope

The sunlight, like golden streams, poured down from the gaps in the clouds, and wherever it touched, the darkness receded like a tide.

The two Vajras had not slept all night. Gazing at the rising sun, they suddenly opened their eyes, and their eyes shone brightly, piercing the darkness and melting the snow, as if the sun were shining upon them.

A sudden gust of wind stirred, causing the shadows of the trees to sway, and a chaotic cloud of auspiciousness rose from Meng Qi's Niwan atop his head.

A handsome young monk emerged from the incarnation of the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, with glittering gold flowing into him. His body radiated a pure, crystal-like light, and a golden Buddha faintly formed behind him.

"It can actually deepen my understanding of the general principles of the Tathagata Palm, the first form of the Tathagata Palm, and other Buddhist techniques, making the Tathagata's golden body more complete?" Meng Qi's eyelids twitched.

He primarily cultivates the Undying Primordial Body, which is a fusion of the Undying Dao Body and the Primordial True Body. He originally intended to attain the legendary status and then diligently study the general principles of the Tathagata Palm to complete the incomplete Tathagata Golden Body as soon as possible. After all, he is a person with multiple identities such as the Azure Emperor and the Thunder God, and the fusion of the Buddhist, Taoist, and divine paths is an option to try.

Unexpectedly, after learning this formless body of the Heavenly Buddha, I experienced a kind of intuitive understanding and the ability to make up for my shortcomings.

"This guy really has a lot of good stuff hidden away. No wonder after I explained the general principles of the Tathagata Palm to him, his Buddhist cultivation foundation was even deeper than mine."

Meng Qi lowered his eyes and carefully comprehended the 'True Stillness Tathagata' he had formed. Although it was slightly inferior to the original 'Yuanhuang Daoren', it should be noted that he was still only slightly knowledgeable and had only scratched the surface of the subject.

"That shouldn't be the case. If the Buddha of Heaven possesses such a Dharma Body technique, how could he be forced to commit suicide as divine punishment?"

What are the characteristics of the Dharmakaya of all Buddhas? It should be known that the Dharmakaya has five characteristics.

Could it be that after the fusion of the five incarnations, this formless Dharma body, free from defilement, action, birth, and death, is the final form?

As Meng Qi's thoughts raced, he realized that the vastness of the heavens meant that his own perceptions might differ greatly from reality. The only thing that struck him as contradictory and unexpected was that this formless body of the Heavenly Buddha seemed nothing like something from the Bitter Realm.

"The Heavenly Buddha Formless Body has a compatible effect with Buddhist techniques, and can also be combined with the Tathagata Palm. Most importantly, it does not require the arduous training of the physical body; through sudden enlightenment, one can fuse the primordial spirit with the Dharma form and the physical body, imbuing the body with the principles of Dharma, pervading all Dharmas, and existing everywhere. It is like the void, indescribable in its form, size, or dimensions."

Meng Qi considered himself a long-time martial arts enthusiast, and had frequented online forums and such, so he was puzzled.

However, after glancing at Song Shuhang, who was also radiating Buddhist light, he composed himself and asked, "You've barely entered the door, so I won't take advantage of you. Shuhang, what do you want to learn?"

“But this is Senior Su Lin’s cultivation technique,” ​​Song Shuhang said bluntly.

"Nonsense, I would only give you benefits if I couldn't take advantage of him."

Meng Qi shamelessly said, "Besides waiting for Senior Shoujing to pass away so I can get the Time Blade, I can't think of anything else of equal value. Just name your price, and I'll talk to him separately later."

However, Su Lin most likely wouldn't want it and would stay far away from it.

The Xuantian Sect is actually the same as Guldo. They seem to wield peerless divine weapons, but they are barely considered sword holders. Getting rid of the Time Blade as soon as possible would actually benefit the Xuantian Sect, otherwise it would be impossible for a Dharma Body to be born in their sect.

Shoujing had been stuck at the half-step Dharma Body stage for many years, and his breakthrough was destined to fail. The fundamental reason was that the Heavenly Emperor did not want to be too conspicuous before the end of the world and attract the attention of various forces.

Moreover, with Han Guang already existing as a Dharma Body capable of wielding the Time Blade, the Xuantian Sect naturally doesn't need to create another Dharma Body.

Everything was predetermined by fate.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Song Shuhang said after thinking for a moment.

"Senior Meng Qi, speaking of which, there is a world called 'Legend of the Emperor' outside the Real World, right? I read it when I was a child and I want to learn the Heavenly Sword Divine Skill."

After saying that, he struck a pose, and with his muscular physique, he already had a bit of a Hong Kong comic book style.

But are you really not planning to switch to swordsmanship or Buddhist martial arts?

I always felt that this person's art style was even less deserving of saving than mine.

“I haven’t done any related missions in the world, but the Six Paths do have techniques and divine weapons related to the Seven Strikes of Purple Lightning and the Hun Tian Treasure Mirror. I have already left the Six Paths, but I can ask Zhiwei and the others to help you take a look, or post a bounty within the Immortal Realm.”

Speaking of this, Meng Qi recalled the treasures and cultivation techniques he had seen on the exchange list of the Six Paths, which represented many reincarnation worlds that corresponded to the worlds of immortals and martial arts.

Furthermore, the aura emanating from the Realm itself gave rise to countless worlds, and the Twenty-Four Heavens evolved from the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, transforming the Nine Heavens into the Thirty-Three Heavens—a peerless treasure.

Even

Meng Qi suddenly had a connection and frowned, saying, "The exchange list of the Six Paths even includes the 'Saint Demon Primordial Embryo' of the Abandoned Heaven Emperor. I've also seen some martial arts techniques with the same name in the Samsara Plaza. Perhaps there really is a Bitter Realm among the myriad worlds derived from the Realm."

Wait.

If the true realm of reality contains related worlds, or if the worlds governed by the Six Paths contain related copy worlds, then wouldn't it be possible that this formless body of the Heavenly Buddha actually originates from the true realm of reality?

Where is this suffering you are experiencing?

Thinking of Su Lin's strange 'supply channels', Meng Qi began to suspect that the source of this cultivation technique was the real world, but the timing didn't quite add up.

He clearly remembered that before he severed his connection with Ananda, the other party had already mastered this Buddhist Dharma body. However, that guy often mixed it with the elements of the element of restraint when he displayed it. Not to mention examining it carefully, Meng Qi didn't even want to take a look at it before, for fear that feathers would grow from his eyes.

I'll ask him about it sometime.

Since Song Shuhang wanted the items from the Legend of the Emperor, Meng Qi, a man of his word, naturally wouldn't go back on his promise. He immediately took out the Myriad Realms Knowledge Talisman and used his connections to search for them for him. If all else failed, he could also ask Lu Ya and the Seven Killings Daoist for help.

Or, once I've dealt with Ananda, won't this cycle of reincarnation still belong to the Su or Meng families?

Meng Qi is naturally adaptable.

"Zhiwei and the others have arrived?" He saw the reply and extended his divine sense outwards.

At the summit of the imperial city, low-hanging clouds seemed to carry the faint sound of sword energy piercing the air.

The streets of the imperial city were bustling with activity. The carriages of the Su family and the royal family of the capital stopped in front of the gate. Su Meng's father, Su Li, along with his elder brother Su Zihua, younger sister Su Ziyue, and Zhao Heng and a few others, walked in a daze into the depths of the imperial palace under the respectful guidance of the guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Great Jin and Great Zhou were constantly at odds and their relationship was terrible. At this moment, because of Su Meng, he came to the Great Zhou palace as a guest, which felt like a dream.

The same applies to the Ruan family of Langya. The head of the Ruan family got off the carriage with Ruan Yushu, and the little foodie swallowed hard as he looked at the palace.

The Wang family was a bit slower. Meng Qi saw his beloved Speedwagon Wang Zai, his elder brother, and his father were still outside the city.

"Let's bring this up later then," Meng Qi said with a smile.

"I leave it all to you, senior." Song Shuhang cupped his hands in greeting.

Such a lively gathering of relatives and friends brought a sense of peace and joy, instantly dispelling all thoughts of past plans and struggles.

Since we have the good fortune to meet again, we should enjoy this rare joy to the fullest. Meng Qi murmured, "Life is full of partings and reunions, so let us rejoice when we meet."

The voice was loud and clear, spreading far and wide, and the causes and effects of all things flowed, and his figure followed.

Meng Qi smiled and looked at everyone, only to see them all gasp and take a step back in unison, their eyes flashing with wariness.

"Uh." Meng Qi immediately looked at Song Shuhang beside him and said, "Shuhang, can you hide first?"

"." I, Song, have a few words of utterance I absolutely must say.

The red plum blossoms were like fire, and the white snow was like clouds. Not only were there guests from the Great Jin and Great Zhou, but old friends and new acquaintances from outside the Real World also gathered together.

"Little brother, don't be fooled by that knife's impressive appearance. It's just a reckless fool who generates electricity. The same goes for that sword. It's a simpleton. Both the swordsman and the sword are single-minded."

The Heavenly Court/Creation Engine MK2000/001, with its legs crossed, exuded an air of command: "A real man pilots a mecha. You call yourself a peerless divine weapon if you can't even speak? Pshaw!"

Crackling——!

A bolt of lightning, concentrated at a single point, exploded from the void, and the extremely yang and powerful purple lightning rapidly spread, its dazzling light engulfing the Heavenly Court.

[Charge battery from 3% to 100%]

"Thanks, Er Lengzi." Tian Tinghao waved gratefully. "I just love new energy sources."

Crack! ! !

"Thank you, it's already 1000%."

The protective shield opens, isolating the inside from the outside.

Meanwhile, in Huai Shi's "Lord of the Flies," Beelzebub, watching this scene, trembled slightly: "Brother, your power reactor is truly awesome!"

“That’s right. I leveled up once after hanging out with Yan Sen, and then I leveled up again after hanging out with Su Lin.” Tian Ting patted the other person and said, “So little brother, you need to understand one thing.”

"What's the point?"

"If you want a raise, you have to switch jobs."

"Understood, I'll switch from Heaven to the Heavenly Court right away."

Beelzebub scratched his iron chin.

"No room left, get out." The Heavenly Court kicked the alchemical armor of the Underworld Giant.

Not far away, several quiet little buildings stood, and a gray-haired Star Core Spirit sat on the marble steps, looking utterly dejected.

"Remember to settle the polishing fee for me later." Su Lin, holding several strings of candied hawthorns he bought from the streets of Chang Le, the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, asked, "Want some?"

"..." Xing stared at Su Lin with dead fish eyes, remaining silent.

Su Lin looked at her: "."

Similarly, they remained silent.

Time passed by, minute by minute, until half an hour later.

"Do those two over there have some kind of grudge or love triangle?" Jiang Zhiwei asked.

“No,” Meng Qi explained, “It might be a staring contest.”

He wiped his sweat, almost ready to kick the two men to stop embarrassing him. He stood there motionless for a long time, holding a few strings of candied hawthorns, drawing the attention of everyone who passed by on this only route.

"Cough cough."

Wang Siyuan coughed a few times, a sickly flush appearing on his face: "Although his appearance has changed, that person is still Su Huanzhen, isn't he?"

"The newly crowned number one on the blacklist?"

Su Wuming and the others' eyes narrowed, and they all looked at Su Lin.

"You've killed him?!" Meng Qi summoned his sword and instantly held it to Wang Siyuan's neck, his face filled with terror.

Wang Siyuan glanced at the deadly blade on his neck, then at Meng Qi's expression, and wondered if he had gotten it backwards.

"A black Taoist robe, a lotus crown on his head, a sword sheath on his back, and a whisk in his hand. The Su Nu Daoist originally had his own system, and the residual energy of the current chaos is still on him. The pregnant scholar is with you. Anyone with a little brainpower can figure out who he is."

After Wang Siyuan finished speaking in one breath, he coughed violently and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

"Don't worry about him, or I won't be able to save you from the backlash. I'm not threatening you, but he himself can't control certain causes and effects, and I don't want to touch the causes and effects of my own karma," Meng Qi said solemnly.

Hearing Meng Qi say this, Wang Siyuan surprisingly showed some interest.

"I've already calculated it."

"?"

Meng Qi's pupils contracted, and he was about to destroy the sacred and precious object that was the opposite of the evil and filthy demon.

"Without fate, without cause and effect, all that is seen is nothingness. Even if the secrets of heaven change, they can only remain on the surface. I have seen all kinds of people, but I have never seen anyone like him before."

So mysterious?

Meng Qi recalled the complete change in Su Lin's attitude before and after arriving in the real world, and thought that he might have acquired some treasure or used some method.

No wonder.

However, he was already used to it.

"I remember I answered 'very difficult' in the last survey," Xing said, her eyes drooping with soreness.

"You stole the Heavenly Palace from my room and still didn't beat the game?" Su Lin sighed. "If you're bad, just practice more."

"I didn't use the Creation Engine MK2000 to complete the game; I just used it to get the train out."

"Why not?"

"."

Xing paused for a moment, then said, "I saw the dark side of hope; a ray of light in the darkness is torment and torture."

"So, through repeated playthroughs and endlessly looping dreams, you've become able to empathize with my Jesus's dreams?"

Su Lin sat down beside him and said, "Hope is like that—elusive and tantalizing, keeping you hooked and making you release dopamine through fantasy to satisfy yourself. Besides, just being aware of your own 'existence' can sometimes be torture, so it's better to dream."

“No.” Xing shook her head.

"Didn't you yourself establish a system of 10,000 bags per barrel? You should be able to understand him."

"wrong."

Xing hugged her knees and said, "So I lost, Huai Shi won, and you should lower the difficulty for me."

"The characters have all been buffed." Su Lin handed over the skewers of candied hawthorns that were radiating golden light: "System compensation."

"Using non-combustible waste to appease beggars?"

"Cloud Glass Trapper, log in to the Immortal Ship to claim it."

Xing suddenly opened her eyes wide and put the five-star character exchange materials into her item backpack.

"The train is here?"

"We've stopped under the Enlightenment Tea Tree. March 7th and Dan Heng are picking tea leaves. Apart from Himeko, no one on the train wants coffee anymore."

"Oh, then my wife is Liuying."

Suddenly, Su Lin felt a chill on his neck. He looked up and saw a witch watching him with a smile not far away.

“Ever since I started calling her my wife, she has been hiding in Sam’s house and won’t come out to see me. She won’t even get in the car when I ask her to.”

Xing said dejectedly, "Am I not the Queen of All Women in the Galaxy? Everyone online says I'm the number one succubus in the galaxy."

Who knows? Maybe the Overkill hasn't rotated out of the meta yet, and the damage is overflowing.
