"Disciple's Dharma name is Gu Zhen!" Gu Zhen answered happily.
"Good, Gu Zhen. I've spoken so much nonsense. Now, I'll use the Buddhist Kingdom's secret technique to condense a relic for you!"
Sky Dragon said solemnly, "However, I'll need to use the Buddhist Kingdom's grand technique to extract your karma from the six paths of reincarnation. Without the Buddhist Kingdom's Buddhist treasure, it won't succeed."
"Disciple understands!"
Gu Zhen naturally knew how difficult it would be. He also knew that Sky Dragon must have a way. After all, Manjushri Bodhisattva's mistake was a good example. Thus, he only answered and waited for Sky Dragon to speak.
As expected, Sky Dragon said flatly, "When I condensed the relic for Manjushri Bodhisattva, I used a Daoist Sect's artifact. It's in the Mysterious Water Palace on the other side!"
"Oh?"
Gu Zhen was stunned. His eyes darted around and he said in a low voice, "That … Senior, are you talking about the Immortal Artifact in the Mysterious Water Palace?"
"Immortal Artifact?
Oh, yes, yes. In your eyes, it's the Daoist Sect's so-called Immortal Artifact from the Immortal World! "Sky Dragon was stunned and then nodded," In my eyes, it's just a Dharma Artifact! "
"But … Disciple heard that the Immortal Artifact was used to suppress something!
Moreover, besides Ci Hui, there were two other people who entered the Mysterious Water Palace before me. One of them was a woman who came here to see if the person she was looking for was suppressed under the Immortal Artifact! "
"Haha, that's a false rumor!" Sky Dragon laughed, "That Immortal Artifact wasn't suppressing anything or anyone!
Think about it, if that Immortal Artifact was suppressing something, could the person she was looking for be suppressed there?
If the person she found could be suppressed there, could the Immortal Artifact still be called an Immortal Artifact?
That Immortal Artifact was brought here to condense a relic for Manjushri Bodhisattva's predecessor!
When Manjushri Bodhisattva's friend joined forces with him to set up the ancient formation, they also built the Mysterious Water Palace.
"After an unknown number of years, that expert from the Dao Sect returned to the Darkwater Palace and entered into closed door cultivation for 65,555 years before he ascended. I was by his side when he ascended. Unfortunately, he headed to the Dao Sect's Immortal World and not the Buddhist Sect's Buddhist Kingdom. That's why I couldn't find a place I was familiar with even after searching for a long time."
After that person ascended, for some unknown reason, he left the Mystic Artifact, no, the Immortal Artifact, in the Profound Water Palace.
Perhaps it was left for a fated person!
Eh?
Little monk Guzhen, are you the fated one? "
At this point, Sky Dragon chuckled. "How strange!
Who knows how many people had entered the Profound Water Palace over the years? Forget the Profound Water Palace, even the Longevity Palace had quite a number of people.
However, they had either died here or returned with broken halberds. Not a single one of them had obtained this item.
Little monk, you're really lucky to have met this old man here. Based on this old man's previous experience of using this item, you can easily take it away!
But … little monk, don't be greedy. You can use this item in your current life. You'll have to return it to me when you return to the west.
This old man might have other uses for it! "
"Haha, senior, you think too much!"
Guzhen laughed. "Even if it's an Immortal Artifact, it belongs to the Dao Sect. I'm the Buddhist Sect's Dharma Protector. What can I do with it?"
"It's up to you. If you want to use it, take it. If you don't want to use it, just put it somewhere far away after this old man condenses your Sarira!" Sky Dragon was getting impatient. "This is your own choice. It has nothing to do with me!"
"Yes, I understand!" Guzhen's doubts were all gone.
Sky Dragon opened his mouth again and a thumb-sized jade pearl flew out. He said with a smile, "This is the secret technique to control the Mystic Artifact. That person told Manjushri about it. Now, this old man will tell you!
Not to mention the Buddhist Sect's Divine Ability, this Buddhist secret technique can also control the Immortal World's Mystic Artifacts! "
Guzhen took the jade pearl and looked at it. The jade pearl seemed to be able to suck in his soul. He frowned and said, "Senior, how do I use this?"
"This is a Buddhist treasure refined by Manjushri. You only need to use your Buddhist sense to check it!" Sky Dragon said with a smile.
Guzhen tried to release his Buddhist sense. Sure enough, after a moment, Guzhen's face showed surprise. He asked curiously, "Senior, is this enough?
Isn't this too simple?? "
"How would this old man know!"
Sky Dragon smiled bitterly. "This was used by Manjushri in the past. But he was in the Stationary Spirit Realm. You're only in the Lotus Formation Realm. I'm afraid you'll have to use more Psyche Power!
Of course, if you can't get the Mystic Artifact this time, then this old man can't condense your Sarira. You can try again when you're in the Stationary Spirit Realm! "
"Yes, I understand. I'll try!
If it doesn't work, then I'll have to wait for the next time! "
Guzhen had already lost his confidence. The record in the Jade Pearl was too simple. He felt that it must be done by a Buddhist master in the Stationary Spirit Realm.
Sky Dragon saw this and comforted him, "It's okay, Guzhen. Go and try. Give yourself some hope. Maybe you'll get a surprise?"
"Yes, this disciple will go now!"
Guzhen forced himself to stay alert. He was so close to eating a delicious vegetarian meal. Suddenly, someone asked him for money. But he didn't have a single copper coin in his Hundred Treasures Pouch.
"Sigh, poor little monk!" Sky Dragon sighed, "This old man shouldn't have given you so much hope!"
Sky Dragon's figure disappeared into the Jade Pearl. The jade liquid in the Longevity Lamp began to rotate. The faint flame also rotated at the same time. Not long after, a small whirlpool appeared in the jade liquid. The whirlpool became bigger and bigger, gradually reaching the bottom of the lamp.
At the same time, the flame gradually condensed into a "Swastika" character in the air. Waves of faint Sanskrit chants spun faster and faster.
"Go …" A mantra that sounded both Daoist and Buddhist rang out. The "Swastika" character rushed into the whirlpool and hit the bottom of the Longevity Lamp.
"Hum …" The bottom of the Longevity Lamp emitted a slight rumbling sound. The layers of clouds under the lamp seemed to have come to life and floated to the top of the pillar.
"Pfff, pfff, pfff …" There were eighty-one consecutive sounds. Then, the sound of a bell rang in Gu Zhen's ears. Golden light flashed in front of Gu Zhen and an entrance appeared on the pillar. A long flight of stairs appeared at the entrance.
"Go … Once you get that magic item, you'll be able to condense a relic!" Sky Dragon's voice was a bit hoarse. He didn't show his head from the Jade Pearl.
Guzhen was full of joy. He landed at the entrance of the pillar and bowed, "This disciple understands. This disciple will be back soon!"
Guzhen waited for a while but didn't hear Sky Dragon's voice. He knew that Sky Dragon was too tired and didn't want to wait any longer. He looked at the stairs and quickly walked down.
After Gu Zhen left, the Longevity Hall regained its tranquility. The Longevity Lamp continued to burn dimly. It was as though Gu Zhen had never appeared in the first place.
There were so many stairs under Guzhen's feet that he couldn't see the end of them.
However, he was in such a good mood that he didn't care how far the stairs were. He knew that as long as he walked down step by step, there would be an end to the stairs. At the end, he would be able to fulfill his wish of condensing a relic in his lifetime.
According to Guzhen's knowledge, condensing a relic was very simple for Arhats who practiced Buddhist magic because the relic was the foundation of their cultivation. As long as they could step into the Dust Realm, they would be able to condense a relic. In the future, their Rugou and Brightpool realms could be reflected in the relic.
Different Buddhist mantras had different effects. Some could transform into different golden bodies in different realms, and some could trigger different Buddhist divine abilities in different realms, such as Heavenly Vision, Heavenly Hearing, and so on.
For ordinary monks who didn't practice Buddhist magic, they could also condense a relic if they were proficient in Buddhist dharma and Zen theory. However, this kind of relic could only be condensed after the monk had passed away. In other words, after the monk had finished his mortal life.
The condensation of this kind of relic depended on Buddhist secret magic. The monk couldn't do it by himself.
Of course, this was common sense. There were exceptions. Occasionally, there would be senior monks who were proficient in Buddhist dharma but not Buddhist magic who condensed a relic.
However, Guzhen also knew that for a Guardian like him, even if he was in the Lotus Realm, he couldn't condense a relic!
This was because he had too many evil creatures in his hands. The resentment of the creatures he killed was enough to drown his relic, making it impossible for him to go further on the path of Buddhist magic!
For this reason, in the Buddhist magic, the mantras for the Guardians to practice did not allow the Bodhisattvas to condense a relic from the beginning. This prevented the karma of killing creatures from affecting the cultivation of later generations.
If he wanted to condense a relic, there was only one way. That was to ask a Buddhist master to condense a relic for him like ordinary monks when he passed away.
However, the possibility of this kind of relic was too small. He didn't practice Buddhist dharma and couldn't eliminate the karma. The resentment of the creatures who died in his hands would not only destroy his relic, but also implicate the senior monk who performed the magic. No Guardian would ask others to do this, and no one would do this for a Guardian!
These were all known by the Guardians at the beginning of their cultivation!
However, the Sky Dragon who had just descended from the Buddhist Kingdom gave Guzhen hope. The Manjushri Bodhisattva who was also a Guardian in his previous life gave Guzhen hope.
The Sky Dragon used a Taoist fairy weapon to condense a relic for Guzhen when he was alive. Then, he used a Buddhist formation to gather the power of faith to eliminate the karma of the relic and increase the Psyche Power. This eliminated the drawbacks of the Guardians who couldn't condense a relic from several aspects.
To Gu Zhen, this was reasonable. Moreover, this method would not affect Gu Zhen's current cultivation. Even if Sky Dragon made a mistake, this mistake would affect the future.
It was not like Guzhen who couldn't bring the cultivation of this life to the Samsara Robber as a Guardian. Therefore, Guzhen didn't doubt the possibility of the Sky Dragon's incredible secret magic.
