Ruins of the past

The Immortal Buddha left the Sala Palace, glanced in the direction of the East District of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and sighed slightly.

Ever since the battle after Chu Qiguang survived the catastrophe of Zhengfa, half of the Buddha's flesh and blood had been suppressed by Chu Qiguang under the City of Night, and he became a puppet that circulates Qi and blood for the general circulation of the world.

The Immortal Buddha has always wanted to get back this half of his body, but it was only because Chu Qiguang took the lead in possessing the power of the Holy Realm, and then continued to suppress him, that he was slow to make any move.

Originally, he thought that he had restored the cultivation of "Vajra Phases" and could defeat Chu Qiguang and regain his half body with his richer experience.

But the brief moment of this meeting shocked the Immortal Buddha greatly.

Until this moment, he still didn't know what he saw.

But the cloud of failure hung firmly in his mind, causing him to subconsciously give up the idea of ​​fighting just now.

"Future Infinite Heart Seal... what kind of magical power is it?"

In the Sala Palace, Chu Qiguang looked at the direction in which the Incorruptible Buddha was leaving and said, "Keep an eye on him. If his search for Buddhist inheritance slows down... tell me."

"I hope he can work with peace of mind and stop thinking about things all day long."

Chu Qiguang turned around, looked at his hands, and recalled the process of using the Future Infinite Heart Seal just now.

"This magical power is really amazing."

"When it is completed, it is incredible to be able to borrow power from the next few days."

"Now I can actually see the possibility of the future... It's just that my enemies can only see the possibility of failure, but I can see the possibility of success."

"And according to the subsequent deduction of this magical power..."

Thinking of this, Chu Qiguang suddenly shook his head: "Is it really possible? Break through the realm, continuously improve this magical power, and after reaching the final realm..."

"Everyone who is an enemy is destined to fail."

"Everything for me leads to success."

"The concept of Future Infinite Heart Seal is to gain insight into the future and win without fighting..."

Chu Qiguang shook his head, still feeling that the follow-up deduction of this magical power was too idealistic. If he could really achieve this step, then the guy who created this magical power would not have failed.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Qiguang gave up thinking about the future of this magical power, and instead focused on what this magical power can do now.

"The immeasurable future heart seal itself is very suitable for creating my own magical powers, because it can help me see the possibilities of the future."

"Is this... also part of his plan? Let me use the future immeasurable heart seal to create a stronger magical power?"

Chu Qiguang's hand seals changed, and he has once again entered the state of the future boundless heart seals.

Immediately afterwards, information about the transformation of saints appeared in front of him.

All the things he had seen in the past, including those transformations to sainthood that he had seen but had not chosen during the process of re-cultivating "Vajra Phases" again and again, all appeared in front of him at this moment.

He randomly selected six saint transformations and began to deduce them based on the future immeasurable heart seal.

Then all the martial arts and Taoist techniques he had learned in his mind seemed to jump out at this moment, changing back and forth around the six saint transformations.

At the same time, some blurry pictures appeared in front of him.

As his future immeasurable mind seals continued to be deduced, the originally blurry picture became slightly clearer, and he could see six figures of different shapes and shapes shrouded in Buddha light.

However, Chu Qiguang still needs to continue to deduce what information it contains to understand.

‘Through the deduction of the immeasurable heart seal in the future, I can see the information after different transformations and the reconciliation of martial arts and Taoism. ’

‘As I perform more and more transformations, the process of deduction will continue to accelerate. I will also become more and more familiar with the various phases of vajra and various transformations, martial arts, and Taoism. ’

'Even after many deductions, the level of my martial arts and Taoist skills will be improved. The deduction process itself is also an enhancement of strength and foundation. ’

‘And in this way, creating one’s own magical powers is no longer a matter of blind people touching an elephant, but becomes much simpler. ’

But Chu Qiguang's Ring of Foolishness was unable to accelerate this process.

It seems that he can only use the immeasurable mind seal of the future so wholeheartedly to deduce magical powers.

"There are three main directions for improving my own cultivation."

Although Chu Qiguang has been controlling the overall situation and managing the entire Central Plains, as a person who continues to absorb nutrients from the entire Central Plains to grow, he has naturally always been concerned about the status of his own combat power and realm.

"The first direction, and the most intuitive way, is naturally to break through to the next realm, which is the realm of meditation. This requires me to cultivate the follow-up techniques of the Vajra Phases."

The following Dharma of the Vajra Phases is called "The Secret Vajra Warriors Meeting Sutra". Its inheritance has been successfully collected by the Indestructible Buddha and sent to Chu Qiguang's hands.

"The second direction is to create your own magical powers, which can not only improve your combat power, but also expand your future limits."

"The third direction is to find the next Sutra King and create the Holy and True Dharma."

In Chu Qiguang's view, the first direction is to directly improve the realm, while the second and third directions are to improve future potential. The two complement each other and should not be partial.

And I don’t know if it’s the influence of the future immeasurable heart seal or his own thoughts.

Chu Qiguang had a feeling in his heart that if he only practiced the "Vajra Hercules Sutra" without doing anything else, there would definitely be problems in the future.

"But there is no contradiction in this. If I practice the "Vajra Hercules Sutra", I only need to accumulate gifts, and I don't need to learn it myself."

"In the process of accumulating gifts, I can continue to deduce magical powers, and I can also wait for Qiao Zhi and the others to find the next Sutra King."

So in the following time, Chu Qiguang accumulated gifts and deduced magical powers, accumulating his own strength bit by bit.

The Chamber of Commerce and the entire Han Dynasty court he led also continued to flourish, providing Chu Qiguang with various conveniences and nutrients needed for growth.

Buddha's fire and knowledge are being continuously collected, the Demon King's Sword continues to be repaired, the world's traffic is constantly expanding, the Cave Heaven Paradise is becoming more and more popular, the production capacity of the blood pool is also constantly increasing, Zhu Xian's manufacturing plan is steadily advancing...

All of this allowed Chu Qiguang to continue to grow in combat power even if he did not improve his level and even if he rarely practiced.

…

Yongan 26 years, May.

In the blink of an eye, the Central Plains will usher in summer again.

This year, development has been in full swing across the Central Plains, and the top leaders of the major forces feel that the world seems to be becoming stranger every month.

The changes in just a few years seem to exceed the total changes in the past hundreds of years.

In the process of this change, Chu Qiguang's prestige became stronger and stronger, and his influence on the entire world became more and more popular.

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Lei has already submitted the next pilot list for Dongtian Paradise. There are two options: Donghai Prefecture Special Zone and Yuezhou Special Zone. You need to approve it..."

"The reincarnation project has made a new breakthrough. Through Mr. Jiao's ability, a person's soul can be reincarnated in batches, thereby increasing the degree of controllability..."

"Zengshou Medicinal Diet once again expanded the scope of the search for medicinal materials. After Fu Nanzi joined the team, the progress was much faster, but he said that the medicinal materials from the Central Plains alone may not be enough, and the West and the East China Sea should also be included in the search scope..."

"The hibernation team has made new progress since Li Yaofeng joined them. They are now trying to use the blood pool to preserve the physical body. Through the commands input in the blood pool, they can maintain their cultivation state after hibernation... "

"The new city of Da Zhu has been built, and this year's garrison replacement will begin next month..."

"The national land survey and land clearing have been completed. The revenue of the Ministry of Household Affairs can be increased by about five times this year..."

"Huang Daoxu passed the position of leader to Fu Nanzi, and his physical condition became worse..."

"Qiao Zhi has been searching for the whereabouts of the "Moon Map" based on the clues from the Tianjian Sect provided by An Yiyun. Currently, the general scope has been locked on the East China Sea Dragon Clan..."

Chu Qiguang knew that Daxia had gathered the four great sutra kings, but after the collapse of Daxia, the four great sutra kings were missing.

It is not impossible that one of the books was taken away by the East China Sea Dragon Clan.

"Let Mi Si Ri fully cooperate with Qiao Zhi, and we must seize the time to find the whereabouts of "Moon Map"..."

After Chu Qiguang and Jin Nu finished their official duties together, he suddenly felt a slight discomfort in his chest. After a brief inspection, he found that his heart and lungs showed signs of aging.

If you are an ordinary expert, you will be completely unable to detect the existence of this sign.

That is to say, Chu Qiguang's martial arts has reached a state of perfection, and his insight into his own body is also meticulous, so that he can detect the changes.

‘The change in lifespan...has affected me? ’

With Chu Qiguang's physical training, especially the bonus of "Vajra Phases", his physical body should age much slower than others.

Even until his life span is exhausted, his physical body will hardly weaken.

Chu Qiguang's face darkened: 'It seems that this reduction in lifespan is not only affecting everyone and demons, but also a comprehensive accelerated aging. ’

So Chu Qiguang then increased his investment in the three research groups of hibernation, reincarnation, and longevity, and he himself participated more frequently.

…

Yongan 26 years, December.

City of Night, underground in East District of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Li Yaofeng looked at Ji Yuan sinking and floating in the blood pool and said, "How is the situation?"

Thirteenth Niang looked at the blood curtain and said, "He successfully entered hibernation."

"The blood pool is following the orders set before, repeatedly helping him circulate his energy and blood and cultivate his physical body..."

"The first run was successful..."

"It was successful even the tenth time..."

Li Yaofeng said: "Run it ten more times."

After a while, Thirteenth Niang said excitedly: "The twentieth operation was successful."

"Qi and blood data are steadily improving..."

"The void is stable, and Mo Ran is currently experiencing zero growth..."

"The blood pool consumption is increasing sharply...but it is still within the normal range..."

Listening to the series of reports from Thirteen Niang, Li Yaofeng also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Chu Qiguang aside and said, "It's successful. If there are no problems in subsequent observations and experiments, then even in hibernation, the physical body will You can continue to practice."

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Well done. If there are no problems later, prepare the first batch of guests."

Li Yaofeng's eyes moved: "Is there anyone who can't wait any longer?"

Chu Qiguang said calmly: "Huang Daoxu, his condition has worsened. Let's prepare for his hibernation as soon as possible."

"Research on hibernation needs to continue. It is best to allow people in hibernation to do more things."

On the way out, Chu Qiguang also thought about the operability of his hibernation.

‘Even after I fell into hibernation, the collection of knowledge continued, and the court and the Chamber of Commerce continued to operate. ’

'The only thing that can't be done is to deduce magical powers...but it's not completely impossible...'

‘No matter what, I must live until the day when the Emperor’s World comes. ’

'But for safety reasons, my hibernation cannot be known to anyone, and the time should not be too long...'

…

Yongan 27 years, March.

Huang Daoxu, who was originally high-spirited, now looked extremely pale, and his thin body and dry hair made him appear weak.

As he slowly sank into the blood pool, the spells on the ground around him flickered, and the power of the void spread across his body.

"All physical signs are normal..."

"The void and the material world interact stably..."

"Qi and blood data are stable..."

Li Yaofeng looked at Huang Daoxu and said, "There should be no problem in your situation. Let's start hibernating tomorrow."

Huang Daoxu nodded slightly and made hoarse sounds: "Where is Chu Qiguang? I have something to talk to him alone."

After everyone left, Chu Qiguang looked at Huang Daoxu in front of him, smiled slightly and said, "Is there anything else you want to say before hibernating?"

Huang Daoxu took a deep breath and said, "If you want to hibernate, wake me up."

Chu Qiguang was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you know your situation..."

Huang Daoxu interrupted him and said: "You... are more important than me, and you deserve to live until the day when the Emperor's World comes."

"But if you and I both fall into hibernation, the human race will not have a powerful sage to take charge."

"So if you decide to hibernate, you must remember to keep it a secret."

"If the hibernation time is long, just let me wake up."

"For an old man like me, it's perfect to spend his life in the old times."

After Chu Qiguang was silent for a moment, he said, "I won't hibernate."

Huang Daoxu smiled and said: "I just want you to know that I have no potential. If you need me, wake me up at any time."

"The reason why I hibernate is because I want to use this life in a more meaningful time."

"This is also the value of hibernation. It makes the death of us old guys more meaningful."

…

Yongan 27 years, August.

"The new batch of hibernation lists have been confirmed. Mr. Chu, please take a look..."

Chu Qiguang looked at the list sent by Jinnu and nodded slightly: "That's it."

As hibernation Taoism gradually matures, more and more elders in the power have begun to apply to Chu Qiguang for hibernation qualifications.

Chu Qiguang couldn't refuse them all, so he could only screen them to prevent hibernation from being abused.

At the same time, in order to prevent these elderly people from being unable to keep up with the times due to long hibernation, or from irreversible physical and mental damage.

Chu Qiguang stipulated that unless one is really close to death, one must wake up once in five years at most.

In this way, hibernators can take turns hibernating in batches and waking up in turn, minimizing the negative impact of hibernation on social operations.

"Let's leave it like this for the time being. The application of Hibernation Taoism will inevitably lead to changes in the ethics and habits of the entire society. Regulations and laws can only be adapted and modified with a lag..."

Even he couldn't fully estimate the extent of the impact of hibernation.

Chu Qiguang shook his head, and after finishing his official duties with Jinnu, he went alone to the secret room under the Salo Palace.

Qiao Zhi has been waiting here for a long time. Now he looks like he has a lot more white hair on his body, and his cheeks actually show a hint of old age.

Chu Qiguang said: "Master Qiao, I have been looking for him in the East China Sea for more than three years. Thank you for your hard work."

Qiao Zhi held a scripture in both hands and walked to Chu Qiguang excitedly and nervously: ""Moon Picture"... I dug almost three feet into the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and finally found it."

Chu Qiguang reached out and took the "Moon Picture" and said with emotion: "Master Qiao, you are getting old too."

Qiao Zhi sighed: "This kind of thing has never happened before, Chu Qiguang... Do you think I made things worse?"

Chu Qiguang touched Master Qiao's cat head and said, "You have done very well. The situation now is much better than in the last life."

"I'm counting you among the next batch of hibernating people, so take a good rest."

"The remaining "Book of Heaven" and the Eight Generals of Xinghan are still there. I will ask the Zhenmo Division, the Cat Factory, and the Dog Factory to find them first, and then finish them when you wake up."

Let important talents hibernate from time to time, leave the tedious chores to the subordinates, and let important talents wake up from time to time to complete some key tasks.

This is one of Chu Qiguang's current strategies for using hibernation, which allows important talents like Qiao Zhi to better utilize their talents.

Shortly after Qiao Zhi hibernated, Chu Qiguang came to the underground secret room of Salo Palace.

He looked at the black pool of blood in front of him and said, "Jiaojiao, I leave it to you."

Then a delicate voice came: "Don't worry, brother, just sleep well."

Chu Qiguang's body was gradually engulfed by the blood pool, and he entered a short-term hibernation state.

And just after he fell into hibernation, orders followed the movement of the blood pool, appearing inside and outside his body at the same time.

His hands naturally formed seals and changed, and began to deduce magical powers, as if they were still awake.

Ten days later.

Chu Qiguang slowly opened his eyes in the blood pool.

A delicate voice came to his ear: "Brother, get up."

Chu Qiguang nodded slightly, and his body rose from the blood pool.

And just as he woke up, a large number of memories emerged in his mind, all of which were the result of his using the blood pool command to control his physical body and perform magical deductions during this period.

A large number of data logs were also recorded on the blood curtain beside him, which were all about his physical condition during hibernation.

'The efficiency of deducing magical powers after hibernation is only about 20% of what it was when I was awake, but there is still room for optimization...'

After a while, Chu Qiguang began to ask Jiaojiao and Jinnu what had happened in the past ten days.

At the same time, he also began to control the monster clone to read the knowledge gathered in front of him in the past ten days, while the main body took out the "Moon Map" to read, preparing to create his own method of enlightening the saints.

…

Yongan 28 years, April.

It's spring again.

Night City is extremely lively today, and the streets are full of people from all over the world.

From time to time, someone would marvel at the latest qi and blood machines they saw on the road.

There are also collisions between men and women that lead to quarrels and conflicts.

There are also countless vendors selling their own snacks and specialties in the streets and alleys.

The reason why there are so many people in Night City today is because today is the day when all the Buddha Fires in the Buddhist world have been collected.

News came out from Shuzhou that the Buddhist fire will be re-condensed today to light up the Buddhist world again.

Chu Qiguang invited the leaders and bosses of the major forces to come to Night City to watch the ceremony.

At the same time, an exhibition was held in the city to promote and display Shuzhou's various products to all visitors, and there were even various military exercises, weapons displays, and the promotion of Taoism and martial arts.

There are also a lot of discounts on the blood weapons in the workshop and the body transformation in the butcher shop, which attracts many customers.

The entire Night City seems to have attracted a large-scale festival and exposition.

In the Sala Palace that night.

The Cang Dragon King, Mirage Dragon King, and Blood River Old Demon sat in a row.

Opposite them were the demon representatives from Da Zhu.

In addition, there are the major aristocratic families of the Holy Fire Sect, Baiyang Sect, and Donghai State, representatives of many overseas island effects, and descendants of major martial arts schools.

Today's Sala Palace is full of heroes, gathering masters from various factions in the world.

The Buddha of Incorruptibility is also among them. Today, his eyes are also ambitious, with a hint of eagerness to try.

Just because after continuous hard training, the Buddha of Incorruptibility regained the cultivation of the Holy Dharma and mastered the "Maha Prajna Heart Sutra" of the Maha religion.

After restoring the two holy dharma, he was not only able to exert the power of the magical power of inanimate law and forbearance, but he also regained another magical power, the seal of the Four Noble Truths.

These two magical powers are both personally taught by the Buddha. They are not only compatible with each other, but can also be practiced together with the three main dharma of Buddhism.

He was rarely able to display his power when he showed his power, and now it is even more terrifying.

Among the two great magical powers, the Inanimate Dharma Ninja is the main defense, and the Four Noble Truths Dharma Seal is the main attack. It can even be transmitted in thoughts, change between reality and reality, and kill people invisibly.

Today he planned to challenge Chu Qiguang again and regain his half body.

At this moment, Jiaojiao's voice rang out: "Everyone, please leave the hall and look east. The fire-raising ceremony is about to begin."

As everyone left the hall, they saw a big sun rising slowly from the horizon.

Dazzling golden light gradually filled the earth.

The hot temperature came from the sky and began to increase the temperature in the Buddhist world.

The old demon of the Blood River stared at the sun with wide eyes, and he felt the unbelievably powerful energy and blood power from it, just like the sea, like the sky, a piece of pure boundlessness and infinity.

The face of the Indestructible Buddha also changed slightly. His eyes pierced through the heavy flames and saw Chu Qiguang sitting in the center of the big sun.

‘He alone...can actually control such a massive amount of Buddha’s fire? ’

In the perception of the Indestructible Buddha, the energy and blood power controlled by the opponent has far exceeded the limit that can be achieved in the realm of Tongsheng.

At this moment, in the Paradise of Cave Heaven in the East District of Ten Thousand Buddhas, soft clattering sounds came from the bodies of countless hanging furnaces.

In the bright sun, the sky-wide treasure banknotes all trembled, making the murmuring sound of the spirit of the banknotes.

The light of the Buddha's fire penetrated and jumped everywhere, moving with Chu Qiguang's thoughts.

At this moment, the entire Buddhist world corresponding to Shuzhou has been illuminated by Buddha's light.

Next, the 'universal' fireball in the sky was also swallowed up by this great sun.

The power that prevails in the world continues to radiate along the light, and is directly connected to the heart of everyone bathed in the Buddha's light.

The next moment, among the surprised eyes of everyone, the word "Tongtian" gradually appeared in the sun.

Then a figure came from the bright sun.

The figure pointed to the sky and the ground, and Yuanshi Baizhang's power formed streaks of lightning behind him.

Then an extremely majestic and domineering voice resounded throughout the world, penetrating their bodies and souls like thunder.

"In heaven and on earth, I am the only one who is supreme."

"Treasure notes reaching the sky can help people travel freely."

"The paradise of heaven and earth, where everything is at ease."

Along with the sound, the sky and the earth were filled with treasures falling from the sky towards everyone in the city.

Chao Ling's voice poured into their ears, bringing happy smiles to their faces.

The area of ​​Cave Heaven Paradise also expanded suddenly, almost covering the entire Night City.

On this day, the entire Night City, the entire Shuzhou, and even the entire Central Plains ushered in a drastic change.

In the future, this day will also be designated as an important festival in the Central Plains, known as Hanukkah.

Legend has it that on that day, Chu Qiguang fell from the sky, and the light returned to the Buddhist world, and endless blessings followed.

It's the beginning of the month, please ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
