Chapter 3708 The Great Path of Karmic Fire
This day.
Within the Great Sage's Secret Realm.
Suddenly, golden celestial light shot into the sky, manifesting as a phantom image of Buddha, instantly alarming the many powerful figures responsible for guarding the Longevity Immortal Mine.
Even the many cultivators responsible for mining the immortal mines were somewhat shocked when they saw this strange phenomenon.
If they looked closely, they could see that the face of the Buddha's phantom was seven parts similar to Shen Changqing's.
This moment.
The entire secret realm trembled.
The dormant Daoist aura of the Great Sage was subsequently revived.
"Has this person truly comprehended the profound Daoist principles of this place?"
Lian Qianchou looked somewhat shocked.
He now understands Shen Changqing's identity and realizes that the other party has reached this point in less than ten million years since ascending to the upper realm.
Even knowing that the person before him was an unparalleled genius, he still couldn't help but feel a little shocked to see that the other party, with the cultivation of the Immortal Emperor Realm, was able to truly comprehend the Dao of the Great Sage.
To know.
This is the essence of the Great Sage's Dao.
Lian Qianchou, representing the Poison King Holy Land, guards the Longevity Immortal Mine. Over the years, he has been trying to comprehend the Daoist principles of this place, but he has not made much progress.
no way.
The Great Sage's Daoist principles are boundless and vast.
Even for a semi-saint, comprehending it is not easy.
result.
Now, a Celestial Emperor has comprehended such supreme Dao principles in less than 100,000 years. How can this not be astonishing?
However, it wasn't just Lian Qianchou who was shocked; the other half-saints were as well.
These strange phenomena did not last long before gradually dissipating.
The moment the strange phenomenon dissipated, Shen Changqing opened his eyes, and a golden light appeared in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
"The Path of Karmic Fire!"
"This is the path that the Great Sage Who Crossed Calamity walked!"
Shen Changqing looked inward at his own sea of consciousness, where a celestial fire was already being conceived. This celestial fire seemed weak, but it was as if it had existed since ancient times and was difficult to extinguish.
this--
That is karmic fire!
This is the power that Shen Changqing condensed after comprehending the Great Dao of Karmic Fire.
Inferno!
It can burn even the soul!
It's everywhere!
As long as a cultivator possesses karma, this karma can be transformed into nourishment, which in turn can give rise to karmic fire.
These methods are sufficient to kill the enemy without them even realizing it.
More importantly, the more karma a person carries, the stronger the resulting karmic fire will be.
Although Shen Changqing only barely comprehended some of the mysteries of the Great Dao of Karmic Fire, barely reaching the entry level, he was still far inferior to the Great Sage of Crossing Calamity.
However, with the power of this karmic fire, it is enough to stir up the karma of a half-saint, causing him to be consumed by karmic fire.
It is just that, given his current strength, it is unknown to what extent he can unleash the power of the Great Dao of Karmic Fire.
Noticing the gazes of the other half-saints, Shen Changqing paid no attention, his mind now fully immersed in this secret realm.
half an hour.
Shen Changqing withdrew his divine sense.
"It seems this is the limit!"
He shook his head inwardly.
There is a limit to the comprehension of any Great Dao. When a cultivator's strength is insufficient to grasp it, then even if they force themselves to continue comprehending it, it will not be of much significance.
at the moment.
The Great Path of Karmic Fire is just like this.
Although the rules and principles left behind by the Great Sage of Crossing Calamity belong to the level of a true Great Sage, in theory, if one can thoroughly comprehend them, one may be able to become the second Great Sage of Crossing Calamity.
But it's a pity.
Shen Changqing's current cultivation level of Immortal Emperor has become a shackle and constraint.
The limit is to be able to enter the Dao of Karmic Fire; there is no point in continuing to comprehend it.
The intense pain in his soul made him realize that the subsequent Great Dao of Karmic Fire was beyond his current comprehension.
but.
Shen Changqing was not greedy.
Enlightenment after 100,000 years.
It is not a bad thing to let him take charge of another supreme path.
But now that I have reached a bottleneck in my understanding of the Great Dao of Karmic Fire, there is no need for me to stay here any longer.
Shen Changqing took a step forward and disappeared from sight.
at the same time.
Inside a celestial abode in the Great Sage's Secret Realm, three figures sat around a tree. These three figures were Venerable Jiuyue, Shen Changqing, and the Demon God Changgeng.
As the Venerable Nine Peaks brewed the immortal tea, its delicate fragrance permeated the entire immortal abode. Within a radius of ten thousand miles, vegetation flourished, and some spiritual herbs even developed sentience, stepping into the path of cultivation.
"This is Bodhi Heartless Tea, a top-tier immortal tea that is said to be born only in the places where Buddhist and Taoist masters attain enlightenment and pass away."
"I only found some by chance in this secret realm, and now it's a good opportunity for you two to have a taste!"
The Venerable Jiuyue laughed.
Bodhi Tea Without Mind!
This was the first time Shen Changqing had heard of this name, but there were so many rare and precious immortal teas in the Upper Realm that it was impossible for him to have heard of them all.
He picked up his teacup and took a small sip. Instantly, he felt his mind clear and his spirit bright. The weariness brought on by 100,000 years of enlightenment was swept away.
Even worse.
His understanding of the Great Dao of Karmic Fire seemed to have subtly increased.
Some things that were confusing and difficult to understand in the past are now much clearer.
“Good tea!”
Shen Changqing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Venerable Jiuyue also picked up his teacup, took a sip, and showed a look of lingering enjoyment on his face.
"This is certainly a fine tea. How can the Bodhi Heartless Tea, which is born from the enlightenment and passing away of an ordinary Buddhist or Taoist cultivator, compare to the immortal tea born from a great sage Buddhist or Taoist expert?"
I searched the entire Great Sage's Secret Realm and only managed to obtain three ounces of this celestial tea.
"If Fellow Daoist Shen likes it, there's still half an ounce left, which I'll give to you!"
As Venerable Jiuyue spoke, he took out a palm-sized jade box and pushed it in front of Shen Changqing.
Simultaneously.
A barely perceptible look of pain appeared on his face.
As Venerable Jiuyue said, this level of Bodhi Heartless Tea is rare and hard to find.
after all.
This is a divine tea that can only be born from the Daoist aura of a Great Sage Realm expert who has attained enlightenment and passed away, when their own Daoist charm dissipates.
This Great Sage's Secret Realm, as the tomb of the Great Sage of Salvation, is rich in Daoist charm, yet even the Venerable of Nine Mountains only obtained three ounces of Bodhi Heartless Tea.
of course.
Venerable Jiuyue was also aware of this.
In such a vast and mysterious realm as the Great Sage, there couldn't possibly be only a few drops of immortal tea.
The remaining Bodhi Heartless Tea likely fell into the hands of other semi-saints.
But there was one thing he was certain of.
Even including the Bodhi Heartless Tea in the hands of other semi-saints, the quantity wouldn't be too large; a pound or two would be the maximum.
At the moment, Venerable Jiuyue only had three taels of silver. It was impossible for him not to feel pain when he gave away half a tael.
That's just a statement.
It hurts, but it hurts.
You should still give what you deserve.
Using half an ounce of immortal tea to bring the two parties closer is, in the eyes of Venerable Jiuyue, a sure win.
Shen Changqing opened the jade box and saw that there was a small amount of immortal tea inside. Each tea leaf was shimmering with a faint golden light, and each pattern seemed to be a manifestation of the Great Dao. The phantom of Buddha could be seen, and the evolution of the starry river could also be seen.
This is an extraordinary tea; one glance is enough to tell it is no ordinary product.
and so.
Shen Changqing did not feign refusal and readily accepted the half-ounce of Bodhi Heartless Tea from the jade box.
"Speaking of which, I spent 100,000 years comprehending the Dao in the Longevity Immortal Mine, and I can barely be considered to have gained some understanding. Today, since Fellow Daoist Jiuyue is here, how about we have a discussion on the Dao?"
"If Fellow Daoist Shen has this intention, then that would be for the best!"
The Venerable Jiuyue's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.
Sitting and discussing principles!
If any other Celestial Emperor had said those words, Venerable Nine Mountains would have certainly scoffed at them.
After all, he was a sixth-order half-saint who had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years. His understanding and insights into the Great Dao were far beyond what any so-called Immortal Emperor could match.
To put it bluntly, cultivators at this level are not even qualified to listen to his lectures, let alone discuss the Dao with him.
but--
Only Shen Changqing was different.
After truly witnessing Shen Changqing's strength, Venerable Jiuyue never regarded him as a junior Immortal Emperor, but rather as an equal.
In addition, Venerable Jiuyue also witnessed Shen Changqing's enlightenment in the Great Sage Secret Realm.
Such extraordinary talents are destined to defy conventional standards.
If one could discuss philosophy with such a person, the benefits would be numerous.
"Since Fellow Daoist Jiuyue agrees, then I will offer my humble opinion as a starting point!"
Shen Changqing immediately began to expound on the Great Dao. As his voice fell, the void of the Immortal Mansion trembled, and a long river of the Great Dao flowed through the nine heavens. Furthermore, the Great Sage Daoist aura of the entire secret realm was stirred, evolving into countless mysteries.
At the very beginning.
The Venerable Jiuyue still had a smile on his face.
As time went on, the smile on the other person's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious expression, and they dared not relax in the slightest.
The demon god Chang Geng, standing to the side, was now also listening intently to Shen Changqing's explanation of the Great Dao and observing the evolution of this supreme Daoist charm.
Time passes little by little.
I don't know how much time passed.
All the strange phenomena in the heavens and earth dissipated, and Shen Changqing's sermon came to an end.
However, neither the Demon God Chang Geng nor the Venerable Jiu Yue spoke; instead, they were in a state of enlightenment.
After an unknown amount of time, Venerable Jiuyue was the first to regain consciousness. When he looked at Shen Changqing, his eyes showed emotion and a hint of amazement.
"What a magnificent path of karmic fire... I am deeply grateful to Fellow Daoist Shen for his guidance. In truth, I owe you a tremendous favor!"
The words were spoken.
Venerable Jiuyue stood up and bowed to Shen Changqing as a gesture of gratitude.
By now.
How could Venerable Jiuyue not understand that Shen Changqing's so-called "sitting and discussing the Dao" was actually an explanation of the Great Dao of Karmic Fire for himself, in order to repay the karmic debt of the Bodhi Heartless Tea?
However, in the eyes of Venerable Jiuyue, he had gotten a great deal.
The Bodhi Heartless Tea is indeed precious, but how can half an ounce of Bodhi Heartless Tea compare to the Great Path of Karmic Fire?
Notice.
The latter is the true path of the Great Sage.
Although Shen Changqing's understanding of the Great Dao of Karmic Fire was only a superficial understanding of the Great Sage's Path, it could still be considered that he had truly entered the gate.
To put it bluntly, receiving guidance from Shen Changqing this time allowed me to glimpse the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Karmic Fire.
In this way...
The Venerable Nine Peaks was able to use the power of this Great Dao as a medium to truly comprehend the Great Sage's Daoist essence within the secret realm, thereby perfecting his own path to immortality.
The latter is related to whether one can survive the next Five Signs of Decay of Heaven and Man in order to reach the realm of a half-saint after seven tribulations.
and so.
In the eyes of Venerable Jiuyue, such human kindness was naturally incomparable to half an ounce of Bodhi Heartless Tea.
