Chapter 171 The Four States of Taixu (2/2)

The four states of the Taixu Strategy subordinately related as they don't have any superiority or inferiority against each other. Once one understood the different depths of the four states - 'create, restrain, restrict and destruct', one could already master it.

If his founding master Ziling Fairy applied the Taixu Strategy's 'transform' word incantation, only a minority of the existing mana in the world will not be affected by it. Generally, most supernatural techniques, strong or weak, were submissive to the Taixu Strategy as the Taixu Strategy could use them to fuel and replenish itself, or even saved it and then returning the techniques later.

Currently, Shen Lian has mastered the 'restrict' word incantation. This state was different from 'transform', and it possessed the power to help one gain insight of the changes in the Qi dynamics of anything that exists in the universe. In fact, the 'restrict' word incantation may not work as well as the 'transform' word incantation when confronted with enemies. However, it would show its phenomenal power under extreme circumstances. It was capable of glimpsing through the dynamics of extreme forces and deal with its changes or even destroy it in one blow.

Equipped with such level of skills, Shen Lian could walk in and out of other Dao schools without worrying too much about being trapped.

In other words, the Taixu Strategy was the Law of Detachment and also the Law of Guardian. Although it did not have any records of spells and supernatural powers, as long as one understood the four states of 'create, restrain, restrict and destruct', one would be able to set his foot in the universe.

Xi Huang was a chaotic place and it was difficult to look for a quiet place to Huandan. However, Shen Lian had mastered the 'restrict' word incantation and was capable of reading the changes in Qi dynamics.

There were people who noticed Shen Lian's presence but once they spaced out, they lost sight of Shen Lian.

And more people are looking forward to the fifteenth day of the first month as it was the day Huike and Baoyue the Venerable would be having their debate at the Jingguang Temple.

It was a rare occasion to the general public and it was a not-to-be-missed opportunity for many cultivators. Actually, many scattered cultivators and Dao disciples have studied dharma. They just did not believe in Buddhism.

It was because Buddhist sects were extremely rare and sometimes immortal Zhenren too, would be inspired by the debates among eminent monks.

In contrast, Xuanmen schools were more retained to themselves.

It was because they have their own resources and there was no need to seek externally.

Actually, the dharma and Daoist scriptures had similar roots. Rumour had it that before Buddha became Buddha, he was once a Daoist.

The Buddhist sects would not deny such sayings because the influence of Xuanmen was too powerful. The Buddhist sects would like to ride on this rumor and exert its influence in Xuanmen and because of that, there were many rivalries between Buddhist sects and Xuanmen. In fact, there were several Dao schools that chose to sit on the fence by cultivating both Dao and Buddhism.

The rivalry between Dao and Buddhism was not considered to be too intense. This was due to the nature of their approach towards cultivation and immortality.

The fifteenth day of the first month was a day of full moon.

Jingguang Temple opened their doors to welcome cultivators and its faithful devotees.

Lights were brightly lit on the trail from the bottom to the top of the mountain.

It was so bright as if half of the sky were illuminated.

Actually, Baoyue the Venerable was not the kind of person who would indulge in luxury. But as this event was a special occasion for the Buddhist sect, it was necessary to upscale it to show the pride of the Buddhist sect.

The Buddha lamps were lighted by psychokinesis in order to show the prestige of this extremely eminent monk. His mana was immeasurable like the vastness of the ocean.

If one had any malicious intentions, he would feel anxious under these Buddha lamps and would probably be too fearful to walk up to the top of the mountain.

Of course, these lamps were only applicable to general cultivators and demons. A truly powerful person would not be afraid of the Buddha lamps and could even deceive it.
