Chapter 3

Zixia Lianri Zhenjing: Feitian Guan's true transmission technique, absorbing purple qi in the morning and flying mist in the evening, condensing the true energy of the five elements and the vast sun, blazing and fierce, burning everything.

Jingang Jue: Jingang Temple's body-refining divine skill, with twelve levels. After cultivation, the physical body can rival magical treasures, indestructible and infinitely powerful.

Both techniques are incomplete, with only the first half.

However, these are orthodox cultivation methods.

Lu Li recognized them at a glance.

Feitian Guan is one of the three major Daoist temples, located in the east, overseeing trillions of miles of spiritual territory.

Jingang Temple is one of the three thousand Buddhist temples in the west.

In today's world, the righteous path is thriving. Under the joint suppression of Daoist and Buddhist temples, the demonic sects can only huddle in the Ten Thousand Demonic Mountains, barely surviving, not even daring to step out.

Therefore, there is no future in the demonic sects.

Lu Li very much wants to escape the demonic sect and cultivate in a Daoist temple, but the Ten Thousand Demonic Mountains are vast, and without the cultivation of a Golden Core, one cannot fly out.

So, he decided to cultivate first.

But which one to start with?

Lu Li glanced out the window. The sky was filled with sparkling stars, the Milky Way shining brightly, and three golden moons hung above the star river, illuminating the world.

It was night.

He could only cultivate the Zixia Lianri Zhenjing in the morning.

So, he could only cultivate the Jingang Jue.

Lu Li sat cross-legged on the stone bed, placed the jade slip of the Jingang Jue on his forehead, silently recited the incantation, and began to cultivate.

Soon, there was a "ding" sound.

A system notification popped up: Congratulations, host, you have learned the Jingang Jue.

Jingang Jue: Level 1 (Progress 1%).

"Your Jingang Jue is very satisfied with your strong will, increasing cultivation efficiency by 50%, and progress by 1%."

Just as he put down the jade slip, another system notification popped up.

Indeed!

He was suitable for cultivating orthodox methods!

Lu Li's expression brightened.

Without hesitation, he picked up the jade slip again and began to study and ponder.

After an unknown amount of time, a clear notification sounded in his mind:

"Your Jingang Jue is even more satisfied with your efforts in understanding the technique, increasing cultivation efficiency by 80%, and progress by 3%."

Lu Li's eyes lit up.

"System!"

He silently called out, and the system panel popped up.

Host: Lu Li.

Jingang Jue: Level 1 (Progress 5%).

In less than one night, the progress of this technique had already surpassed the three months of cultivating the White Bone Heart-Piercing Palm.

This way, wouldn't it take only twenty days to complete the first level?

Completing the first level of the Jingang Jue would make his bones and muscles strong, with a strength of ten thousand pounds.

That would be enough!

However, would cultivating orthodox methods in the demonic sect result in being killed by the demonic sect members?

Lu Li couldn't help but worry.

Forget it, if he couldn't pass the test of the Ghost Demon True Man in a month, he would still die.

Either way, he might as well cultivate first!

Lu Li calmed down and continued to study the Jingang Jue.

Then... he fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he opened the system log.

"Your Blood-Sucking Demon Technique, White Bone Heart-Piercing Palm, and Seven Killing Fist are dissatisfied with your fickleness, and your cultivation has regressed."

"Your Jingang Jue has progressed by 3% after a night of hard cultivation."

"Your Jingang Jue is depressed because it did not hear the Buddhist scriptures and has decided to stop cultivating for a day."

No!

Lu Li's face fell when he saw the last record.

These martial arts are too individualistic!

They can even go on strike?

Lu Li's expression was not good.

At this rate, he might not be able to complete the first level of the Jingang Jue in a month.

However, it's just Buddhist scriptures, and he knows them!

Lu Li's expression turned serious. He sat on the stone bed, formed a lotus hand seal, and began to recite the Buddhist scriptures silently: "Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, when practicing the profound Prajna Paramita, saw that the five aggregates are all empty..."

This is the Heart Sutra of the Prajna Paramita.

It is the only Buddhist scripture Lu Li knows.

In the past, when developing game programs and couldn't find bugs, he would recite the Heart Sutra to regulate his emotions.

Over time, he could recite the Heart Sutra fluently.

The moment he finished reciting the Heart Sutra,

In the West, the Buddhist Kingdom.

In the countless Great Hero Halls of the three thousand Buddhist temples, the statues of the Buddhas, Arhats, and Bodhisattvas suddenly trembled.

Then, these statues emitted a massive golden light, shooting up into the sky, merging and forming a huge divine figure in the heavens.

It was the Supreme Buddha!

In an instant, the golden light shone for miles, covering the sky.

In the three thousand Buddhist temples, millions of Buddhist cultivators were startled and flew up into the sky, bowing to the Supreme Buddha's figure in the sky:

"Amitabha!"

The most excited and thrilled were the Buddhist monks of the Great Thunderclap Temple, the leader of the Buddhist temples.

Inside the Great Thunderclap Temple, three divine monks had already appeared.

Looking at the Buddha in the sky and the trembling statues of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in the Buddhist Kingdom, the three divine monks' pupils trembled, losing their composure.

Soon, the ten thousand Buddha statues returned to calm.

The golden light dissipated.

The Supreme Buddha's figure slowly faded and disappeared.

"One hundred thousand Buddhas resonate, and the Supreme Buddha appears. I never thought I would witness such a phenomenon in my lifetime."

One of the white-browed divine monks said with great emotion.

"This means that our Buddhist path is thriving! It's either the reincarnation of a Buddha or the appearance of a supreme Buddhist scripture!"

Another tall divine monk said solemnly.

"The Buddha is in the south!"

Finally, a short and ugly divine monk looked into the distance and slowly said four words.

Upon hearing this, the entire Buddhist Kingdom fell silent.

The south is the Ten Thousand Demonic Mountains!

It is the territory of the demonic sects!

If the demonic sects find the reincarnated Buddha or the supreme Buddhist scripture first, it would be the greatest misfortune for the Buddhist temples!

"The demonic sects are hiding in the Ten Thousand Demonic Mountains, recuperating. It's time to destroy them."

"Amitabha, the demonic path must be destroyed!"

"Then, let's contact the Daoist temples and prepare to attack the demonic sects."

The three divine monks exchanged glances and made up their minds.

"Also..."

The white-browed divine monk said with a deep gaze: "Send Buddhist disciples into the Ten Thousand Demonic Mountains to secretly search for the Buddha and the scripture! We must not let the demonic sects or the Daoist temples find them first!"

...

At this moment, countless messages spread from the Buddhist Kingdom.

In the Central State Daoist Temple.

A beautiful woman slowly opened her eyes and yawned.

Her gaze was as cold as the moon.

She raised her eyelids and looked west, her brows slightly furrowed.

Then, her gaze shifted to the south.

"The Ten Thousand Demonic Mountains..."

Her brows furrowed even more.

At the same time.

On the islands overseas.

In the abyss demons.

And in the various sects of the demonic path in the Ten Thousand Demonic Mountains.

The world, which had been calm for a long time, was now filled with hidden currents, and the major forces began to stir.

But at this moment, the culprit who stirred the world, Lu Li, was in his cave, extremely excited.

Because the Jingang Jue was flooding the screen:

"Your Jingang Jue, after listening to the supreme Buddhist scripture, has gained enlightenment."

"Progress increased by 2%."

"Progress increased by 3%."

"Progress increased by 2%."

...

"Progress increased by 4%."

There was a "ding" sound.

Clear and crisp.

"Congratulations, host, the Jingang Jue has broken through to the second level."

This was not the end.

An even more exciting notification popped up:

"Congratulations, host, your Jingang Jue, after listening to the supreme Buddhist scripture, has greatly enlightened and evolved into the Indestructible Jingang Divine Skill."

As the voice fell, a shocking power surged from his dantian, spreading through his meridians.

At the same time, his body made a series of popping sounds as his muscles and bones expanded.

His strength began to surge!

Five thousand pounds.

Ten thousand pounds.

...

Thirty thousand pounds.

...

Eighty thousand pounds.

...

One hundred thousand pounds!

One hundred and twenty thousand pounds!

Infinite divine power!
