Chapter 340
The sword talisman seemed calm and peacefulThe ray bounced off fro's face
This s of the White Moon Demon ClanShe was not even aware that his poas comparable to that of a Buxu cultivator
In just an evening, a lot of impressive individuals witnessed the sword aura that shone as bright as the Milky WayTheir respect for the Tes deepened
So Xuan was the only one in this world who mastered the essence of Milky Way Sword AuraThey wondered if the Daoist immortal Zhenren who rarely co
However, no one had the guts to confir despite that there was nothing notable about her level of cultivation
The vast field disappeared, and by spring next year, countless wild grass would grow againThe cycle of life would not end because of onecaluang Te Temple as the moon rose fro open slowly, and a young ether and greeted Fang Yanying, ”Dear benefactor, please co for you at the inner hall”
Fang Yanying was not surprised at allIt was only normal that someone as exceptional as Zen Master Fahai had predicted her arrival
When she was following Chen Jianmei around, she had seen plenty
The ht see TempleThe cicadas and insects chirped away in this quiet and chilly night
As she stepped into Jinguang Te within herIt came fro it out
The sword talisman was like her flesh and blood, and it offered her a new perspective
It was an unusual perspective that allowed her to perceive different thingsIn her heart, Jinguang Te, but it was a creature of blood and flesh that breathed
She followed the young iant creature - Zen Master Fahai
Zen Master Fahai had beautiful brows and handsome featuresHis eyes were full of life and they reht
He was clothed in gold kasaya, and there was a staff leaning against the pillar next to him
The staff was embellished with a round bead that was covered in a thin screen of light, et about the ht nor was it shi+ny
A thought occurred to her - this was a relic
Mister Sea as now a part of Buddhis, ”This relic belongs to Monk Baoyue”
Only then did Fang Yanying cohtly eI have co XuanThis elegiac couplet ritten by Zhenren for Eluohedi” Eluohedi meant Arhat, and it referred to the accomplishment of Baoyue the Venerable when he was alive
A set of couplet appeared in her hands, and respectfully, she delivered it to Fahai
He stared quietly at the couplet, and the couplet was airborneWhen it was in mid-air, it unfurled to reveal the content - ”Body akin to Bodhi tree; Heart akin to mirror stand”
In the phrase, 'Body akin to Bodhi tree', 'body' was the fundamental element of an epiphany, and 'Bodhi' referred to an epiphanyBack then, Buddha reached an epiphany and beca Hua tree, and the tree was subsequently known as 'Bodhi'
'Heart akin to mirror stand' referred to a heart as clear asin the worldWhen the ies had gone away, the mirror remained the same
In just ten words, Shen Lian was able to convey an endless state of Zen and the fundamental qualities of Baoyue the Venerable's cultivation
”What other es did Shen Lian tell you to pass on?” Fahai wrinkled his eyes and asked
Fang Yanying answered frankly, ”Zhenren did not say anything else”
Fahai pondered upon the inforhtly surprised that Shen Lian was able to see through the old monk's fundamentalsThis showed how advanced Shen Lian's Dao wasIt did not reflect the state of his mana and his coression would not be stagnated anytime soon
Of course, he would not hold Shen Lian in higher regards simply because of that, because this involved another layer of mysteries of the state of celestials and Buddha
Having received the teachings of Baoyue the Venerable, he realized as it so difficult for the demons and monsters to become a Great Saint while the Daoists and Buddhists were able to produce an endless stream of individuals who transcended beyond the mortal world
The cultivation of those at the state of celestials and Buddha was extremely special, the state of mana would not improve with time
Most immortal Zhenrens or Golden-bodied Arhat of Buddhism would take a step forward in cultivation only to rowth of mana had reached a certain point, it would fall naturally - just as how the h different phases in a cycle
Shen Lian had only recently attained immortality, and he was in his primeTo use the words of BuddhisThe state of his inable stateHowever, in another five hundred years or a thousand years, if Shen Lian was not successful in attaining the state of Tian Xian, he would be in for a period of sluood as he was now
Even though this seemed like a major flaw of the cultivation in Buddhism and Daoism, but it also shohy these tere the authentic schools of cultivation
Where not even the heaven and earth were perfect, how could one as a living creature birthed in the heaven and earth be perfect?
Hence, this hy Daoist Master Taishang said, ”It is better to leave a vessel unfilled than to atte a point that has been sharpened, the point cannot long preserve its sharpnessWhen gold and jade fill the hall, their possessor cannot keep thes evil on itselfWhen the work is done, and one's nauished, to withdraw into obscurity is the way of Heaven”
If it was not for the fact that he had received the teachings of Baoyue the Venerable and had received inspiration froht not understand this principle and would not even stand a chance of beco the 'Great Saint' of the demon clan
This hy the predecessor fro Temple was able to transcend beyond thewang Temple, he understood a technique, and that allowed hiardless of Shen Lian's intention, his goal noas to wait for Baoyue the Venerable's reincarnation to grow up and to find hi Temple
As one as from the demon clan, his combat poas rens of nature was not as good as that of a monk or the immortal Zhenrens of Daoism, ere famed for their calculation abilities
Hence, if he were to find the reincarnation of Baoyue the Venerable, he would need the help of a Daoist expert as skilled in calculationRight now, Shen Lian seemed like the perfect candidate
