Chapter 1043: Chapter 1037: The Three Forms Of Buddhism

As Li Kuanghua went to meet Dharma Master Hongzhen, Li Wei also opened Li Kuanghua’s status panel.

Truth be told, the Dusheng Nunnery was also an opportunity for Li Kuanghua—a mix of fortune and disaster. The fifty years of time had not been spent in vain.

[Your descendant Li Kuanghua has cultivated the “True Buddhist Mantra of Deliverance for Self and Sentient Beings” at the Dusheng Nunnery, mastering the Void Refinement Buddhist technique: The Three Forms of Buddhism.]

[Form of the True Self: Can manifest a Buddha statue using Spiritual power to harvest the faith of believers.

Can transform into a Buddha Dharmakaya to ward off evil and repel enemies, suppressing vicious foes with the “Bodhisattva’s Divine Palm.”]

[Form of All Living Beings: The world lacks Samsara, but through Buddhist Dharma, one can deliver sentient beings to reincarnate, sparing them the fate of having their souls scattered or turning into vicious ghosts from accumulated resentment.

Can assume mortal forms, transforming into a thousand Dharmakayas to spread Buddhist Dharma in the mortal realm and collect faith.]

[Form of Nature: Can transform into the elements of heaven and earth—mountains, rocks, vegetation, birds, beasts, insects, and fish.

Brings blessings to living beings and the common people, acquiring Merit from heaven and earth.]

It had to be said that Buddhist Dharma was formidable.

The “Bodhisattva’s Divine Palm” of the Form of the True Self was already considered highly offensive among Void Refinement techniques.

Once locked on by the Buddhist Dharma, unless the opponent possessed special techniques, they would be forced to take the strike head-on.

The Form of All Living Beings and the Form of Nature were both excellent methods for accumulating Buddhist Dharma.

Moreover, these two Buddhist techniques were excellent techniques for shielding oneself from heavenly divination.

In the past, Li Kuanghua simply bombarded her enemies using the Buddha-Demon Disk.

Now, it was as if she had come to the Dusheng Nunnery for advanced studies.

As long as she broke through to the Void Refinement realm, she would possess decent Void Refinement techniques.

[Your descendant Li Kuanghua, whose inner demonic nature within the Buddha-Demon Disk has fought against Buddha-nature for many years, has accumulated massive amounts of Spiritual power in her body.

Her storage of the laws of both the Buddhist and Demonic paths is sufficient to forge a Void Refinement space.]

[Having racked her brains for many years to avoid being disturbed by the Buddhist chants of the Dusheng Nunnery, while also facing erosion from the demonic nature within the Buddha-Demon Disk, she has successfully prevented both from corrupting her for fifty years.

Acquired Trait: True Self. Does not believe in gods or Buddhas. Divine soul strength increased by 100%.]

Generally speaking, the divine soul strength of cultivators was quite weak.

If they encountered cultivators who specialized in techniques affecting the mind, one misstep could leave them waiting to be slaughtered.

Li Yaozu had been exactly like this back in the day, completely devoid of the power to resist.

However, Li Kuanghua’s divine soul strength probably ranked in the top three within the clan.

It was all thanks to the resilience of the Buddha-Demon Disk in her body; otherwise, she would have long since become a puppet of the Dusheng Nunnery.

“Kuanghua’s current Spiritual power has already reached the boundary for breaking through to the Void Refinement realm.

It’s just that she hasn’t dared to break through, fearing the old demoness inside the Dusheng Nunnery would discover her secrets.”

Li Wei sighed in admiration.

Among the clan’s children who had broken through to the Void Refinement realm without relying on external forces, Yunlin from many years ago had been the only one.

Now there was Kuanghua. Everyone else had relied on a False Void Refinement space to reach true Void Refinement step by step.

Soon, under Li Wei’s watchful gaze, Li Kuanghua arrived at a pagoda temple within the Dusheng Nunnery.

Sitting inside the temple was a nun who still retained her charm—Dharma Master Hongzhen.

Dharma Master Hongzhen still kept her appearance from when she was a Daoist nun, her beautiful hair flowing without any ornaments, and her visage bearing the serenity of a gentle woman. “Sit.”

“Yes, Dharma Master Hongzhen.”

Li Kuanghua obediently sat on the futon opposite Dharma Master Hongzhen.

Despite Dharma Master Hongzhen’s seemingly fragile appearance, facing her, Li Kuanghua felt a dense Buddhist Dharma wrapping around her like a sponge.

That was Dharma Master Hongzhen’s Buddhist power.

Behind Dharma Master Hongzhen stood a Bodhisattva statue.

The statue held a purifying vase in one hand and a fly whisk in the other, its face overflowing with compassion and tenderness.

It bore a ninety-percent resemblance to Dharma Master Hongzhen.

The Dusheng Bodhisattva.

The nuns in the Dusheng Nunnery all claimed that this Dusheng Bodhisattva could deliver all sentient beings, expelling evil thoughts from their hearts and severing ties to the mortal realm.

No matter how great the atrocities committed in this life, those who worshipped the Dusheng Bodhisattva could find inner peace.

They all said that the great chaos in the world was caused by the evil within human nature; as long as the people of the world all worshipped the Dusheng Bodhisattva, there would be no more wars.

Indeed, there wouldn’t be any wars, nor would anyone die because of the evil in human nature. There would only be cauldron after cauldron of sarira relics.

Li Kuanghua glanced at the Bodhisattva statue, which seemed to grow slightly stronger every time she visited, and cursed inwardly.

“Bodhisattva Li, are you very interested in my Bodhisattva statue?” Dharma Master Hongzhen looked at Li Kuanghua with a soft gaze.

Your Bodhisattva statue?

She’s not even pretending anymore. Trash Bodhisattva!

Li Kuanghua nodded with bright eyes.

“We cultivate Buddhist Dharma for nothing more than to deliver all living beings.

The Dusheng Bodhisattva possesses great Merit; it is a blessing to the people and a blessing to the Buddhist sect.

As a disciple from the Azure Cloud Prefecture, I know the suffering of the world.

I used my fists for the first half of my life, but while fists can slay evil bodies, they cannot slay evil thoughts.

If I could be like the Dusheng Bodhisattva, it would truly be a profound fortune.”

“Excellent.” Dharma Master Hongzhen nodded in gratification.

“Once you reach the Void Refinement realm, you too can manifest a Bodhisattva statue.

Your words aren’t entirely correct either. You and I can deliver the human heart, but there are always those in the world who have fallen too deeply into the demonic path…”

“This disciple understands.” Li Kuanghua nodded solemnly, but her expression suddenly froze.

“No, you do not understand,” Dharma Master Hongzhen shook her head, patiently instructing.

“Buddhist Dharma delivers the human heart, but those who have committed heinous evils cannot be delivered. In the past, the ancient Buddha used his own body as bait to feed the eagle…”

The veins on Li Kuanghua’s leg muscles bulged, but her face remained peaceful.

“This disciple understands. Our Buddha delivers all living beings, sacrificing the lesser self to achieve the greater self.”

“Wrong again.” Dharma Master Hongzhen sighed.

“Delivering the people of the world is important, as is saving the world. But if even the ‘self’ is gone, who will be left to help the people of the world…”

You motherfucker!

“This disciple…”

Just as she was about to respond, a furious Buddhist roar echoed through the Dusheng Nunnery. “Who? Who stole my incense offerings?!!”

When a Bodhisattva raged, the Dusheng Nunnery trembled.

Dharma Master Hongzhen furrowed her brow tightly. “It’s Hongdan. Bodhisattva Li, please study the Dharma discussed today on your own.”

“Yes, this disciple understands.”

Seeing Dharma Master Hongzhen’s departing figure, Li Kuanghua suddenly stood up, her teeth grinding with a “creak, creak” sound.

Pouting her cheeks, she spat inwardly. Study what Dharma? She headed straight back to her own temple.

“Incense offerings stolen?”

Li Kuanghua sat cross-legged, blinked her eyes, and picked up her ancestral tablet to inform the Ancestor.
