Not only had he cultivated the Buddhist Clan’s highest secret technique, becoming the first person to do so in countless years, but he had also innovated upon the Three Lives Secret Technique, creating the Two-Lives Buddha secret technique and pushing the Three Lives Secret Technique to a new height.
Transforming from one into three, it became one into six. On the foundation of the Past, Present, and Future Buddhas, it further evolved the Past-Life Body and Current-Life Body. Once fully cultivated, the Past-Life Body and Current-Life Body would first fuse together, and then the Past, Present, and Future Buddhas would fuse with each other. In this way, their cultivation could advance further.
Perhaps they could reach the true realm of Nine-Wheels-as-One. Now, the Future Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, is close to completing the cultivation of the Two-Lives Body, and the Present Buddha, Tathagata Buddha, is also about to complete the cultivation of the Two-Lives Body.
The Great Sun Ancient Buddha has also reached the eight-wheel stage, yet Ancient Buddha Qingdeng has surprisingly not cultivated the Two-Lives Body. In Lin Moyu's view, this is improper. Although he does not understand the Two-Lives Body secret technique, he can still tell.
The Two-Lives Body secret technique emphasizes a balance of Yin and Yang; when fusing together, balance is also required. If Ancient Buddha Qingdeng failed to cultivate the Two-Lives Body, his secret technique could not possibly succeed. There must be a reason why Ancient Buddha Qingdeng did not cultivate the Two-Lives Body. After a moment, Lin Moyu began to understand.
He connected all the cause-and-effect relationships, then raised his teacup. "Then let us use this tea. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, the Great Dao is within sight," Great-Belly Ancient Buddha laughed. "Fellow Daoist Lin knows again?"
Lin Moyu smiled, "The seven-treasure exquisite pagoda." Great-Belly Ancient Buddha suddenly burst into laughter. "Fellow Daoist Lin is truly a genius given by heaven. In this world, if anyone were to become an enemy of Fellow Daoist Lin, I fear they would not even be able to enter reincarnation." Lin Moyu smiled, "Buddha is too kind." Great-Belly Ancient Buddha's laughter carried curiosity, "I am actually quite curious."
"How did Fellow Daoist Lin figure it out?" Lin Moyu said, "Actually, it is not difficult. Since Buddha Sansheng could create a secret technique like the Two-Lives Buddha, he naturally has the ability to cultivate it. The reason he did not cultivate it himself is naturally due to some external reasons. If I am not mistaken, cultivating the Two-Lives Buddha secret technique requires the soul to be split again, and the split soul needs to find a suitable Dharma treasure to inhabit."
"Take you for example, your soul is inhabited within this Buddhist hall. I guess the reason Ancient Buddha Qingdeng did not cultivate the Two-Lives Buddha is because he could not find a suitable Dharma treasure to inhabit his soul. Now that I have brought the seven-treasure exquisite pagoda, his soul has a place to inhabit, and naturally, he can cultivate the Two-Lives Buddha secret technique. With Buddha Sansheng's aptitude, it will not take many years to complete the cultivation, and by then, he will be able to achieve Nine-Wheels-as-One."
Great-Belly Ancient Buddha asked again, "Then how is Fellow Daoist Lin so sure that we will definitely succeed?" Lin Moyu smiled, "Precognition. I have always trusted my own precognition. I feel that this time it will definitely succeed. Previously, because Ancient Buddha Qingdeng could never find a suitable Dharma treasure, he took a different path. He schemed against the three clans, attempting to ascend using the Great Dao of Luck, but now…"
"With the seven-treasure exquisite pagoda, he can walk his own path of cultivation." Furthermore, Lin Moyu had seen the changes in the Buddhist Clan's luck. Great fortune had arisen; the Buddhist Clan was highly likely to produce a legendary figure. That was why Lin Moyu offered his congratulations in advance. He had no intention of stopping the Buddhist Clan from producing an expert equivalent to the Great Dao Realm. Comprehending the Great Dao of Luck, he knew very clearly that once great fortune appeared, if he were to stop it, he would definitely have to pay a huge price.
If things went wrong, his own luck would suffer a massive discount. Besides that, he would also form a great causal link with the Buddhist Clan. It was unnecessary. Even if Ancient Buddha Qingdeng were stronger, wanting to truly complete the Nine-Wheels-as-One would take at least ten thousand years. After ten thousand years, he himself might have already reached the Great Dao Realm and would not need to fear the other party at all. Great-Belly Ancient Buddha laughed, "If this succeeds, I must thank Fellow Daoist Lin for bringing the seven-treasure exquisite pagoda. This kindness will not be forgotten."
Lin Moyu smiled, "You must not forget, I have killed quite a few Buddhas." Great-Belly Ancient Buddha did not mind at all. "People have their own fates. The reason they died is that their destiny had reached its end. It has little to do with Fellow Daoist Lin. Even if they had not died at the hands of Fellow Daoist Lin, they would have died one day due to various accidents." He completely brushed aside what Lin Moyu had done. Those Ancient Buddhas who had worked hard to cultivate for tens of thousands of years died in vain. Lin Moyu said, "Great-Belly Ancient Buddha, you are true to your name." Great-Belly Ancient Buddha laughed heartily, "Indeed."
"One must be open-minded about everything." Lin Moyu smiled, "I am actually quite interested in your clan's Three Lives Secret Technique at this moment." Great-Belly Ancient Buddha casually tossed a jade tablet. "Please take a look, Fellow Daoist Lin." Lin Moyu did not accept it immediately. "This is your clan's highest secret technique; you are just giving it to me like this? Aren't you afraid I will spread it?"
Great-Belly Ancient Buddha laughed heartily, "It is indeed the highest secret technique, but it is also the most difficult. Furthermore, it is useless for outsiders to obtain it; they cannot cultivate it at all. Actually, if Fellow Daoist Lin wanted it, you could have bought it from the Three Ancestors. Perhaps the major holy lands of the Human Clan all possess our clan's secret technique. It is the highest secret technique, but not the highest secret. Since the Buddhist Clan is willing to let the secret technique circulate, there must be a reason." Lin Moyu smiled and took the jade tablet, examining its contents.
The jade tablet contained not only the Three Lives Secret Technique but also the cultivation method for the Two-Lives Buddha. After reading it, Lin Moyu returned the jade tablet to Great-Belly Ancient Buddha and shook his head gently. "Indeed, it cannot be cultivated." Great-Belly Ancient Buddha had long known this result and smiled, "Does Fellow Daoist Lin have any other insights?" Lin Moyu shook his head. "I do not wish to have insights. It is all your Buddhist Clan's stuff inside. I am afraid that if I have too many insights, one day I will not be able to think straight and join your Buddhist Clan." Great-Belly Ancient Buddha said:
"How could that be? With Fellow Daoist Lin's Dao Heart, who could shake it?" Lin Moyu said, "No, no, no. Everyone has weaknesses. I am no exception." Great-Belly Ancient Buddha, filled with curiosity, joked, "Then what is Fellow Daoist Lin's weakness?" Lin Moyu also joked, "I will tell you when I find it."
Great-Belly Ancient Buddha laughed even louder. "Fellow Daoist Lin is truly a wonderful person." The two chatted for a long time. Only then did Lin Moyu leave with Xiao Mei. It was not until they left the main city that Xiao Mei said, "This Great-Belly Buddha is really interesting, not serious at all. He is completely different from other Buddhas." Lin Moyu smiled, "Living beings have emotions of joy and anger. This Great-Belly Ancient Buddha is the 'joy' among Buddha Sansheng's emotions of joy and anger, so he has no sorrow. He laughs all year round." Xiao Mei said with a hint of envy, "So that's how it is. Being able to be happy every day is really good." Lin Moyu shook his head. "I, on the other hand, think he is quite pitiful."
Chapter 3253: How did it disappear all of a sudden? With Xiao Mei's current intelligence, she could not understand Lin Moyu's words. She did not know why a person who was always laughing and happy would be pitiful. In her mind, Great-Belly Ancient Buddha had status and strength. Being able to be so happy every day, why would he be pitiful? Lin Moyu sighed, "If there is no sorrow, where does joy come from? Human emotions are all relative. Lacking one makes one not a complete person." Xiao Mei murmured, "Joy, anger, worry, thought, sorrow, fear, shock. Teacher, do you also feel fear?"
Lin Moyu said, "I used to feel fear, but I got used to it. Perhaps it still exists deep in the soul. But as long as the Dao Heart is strong, all kinds of emotions can be controlled, just like people who do not show their joy or anger on their faces. They are not without joy or anger; they can just control them. This is the second cultivation principle I want to teach you. You must cultivate your Dao Heart. If you want to become a true powerhouse, you need an incomparably strong Dao Heart. In many cases, the Dao Heart is more important than the cultivation realm." Xiao Mei asked, "Then what exactly is the Dao Heart?" Lin Moyu shook his head, "It is hard to say. You need to experience it yourself, but as your teacher, I can tell you two words: Control!"
Xiao Mei firmly remembered these two words. Although she did not quite understand them now, she believed she would naturally understand in the future. In Lin Moyu's view, Great-Belly Ancient Buddha was pitiful. He had seen the Three Lives Secret Technique. He had also seen the Two-Lives Buddha. He knew that when the Three Lives Secret Technique split the soul, in order to keep each part of the soul relatively complete, emotions had to be integrated into it. The seven emotions were split, and then controlled by the Dao Heart. Therefore, Great-Belly Ancient Buddha only had the emotion of joy, but no sorrow. And where would joy come from without sorrow? Those who laugh the most happily every day are often fools. Therefore, Lin Moyu felt that Great-Belly Ancient Buddha was pitiful. Only when they merged back into one could they be a complete individual, and only then could they truly change back. However, that would still take time. Nine-Wheels-as-One is equivalent to breaking through to the Great Dao Realm; it is not that easy.
Lin Moyu continued to take Xiao Mei with him, measuring the Buddha Realm step by step. When they were tired, they would sit on the cloud-piercing sword and cultivate. When they had cultivated enough, they would continue walking. The two moved very quickly. With Lin Moyu's help, Xiao Mei's speed reached an unprecedented level without her noticing. It was just that Xiao Mei felt nothing about it; Lin Moyu had silently utilized the Great Dao of Space, giving Xiao Mei some illusions. Until a month later, the two had traversed the entire Buddha Realm. After leaving the Buddha Realm, Lin Moyu accelerated again. The two traveled through the Buddhist Clan's territory. After seeing the prosperity of the Buddha Realm, looking at other Buddhist kingdoms gave a sense of returning to simplicity. Fortunately, in any Buddhist kingdom, most people had food to eat and would not go hungry. Because Buddhist Clan cultivation required massive amounts of believers, they would not be too harsh on them. Finally, two months later, the two arrived at the edge of the Buddhist Clan's territory. They came to the edge of a cliff, and below the cliff was a rushing river.
A thousand meters away on the opposite bank was the Dragon Clan's territory. This was the Boundary Land between the Buddhist Clan and the Dragon Clan, known as the Buddha-Dragon Gorge. Ahead was the Dragon Clan's territory. Standing here, Xiao Mei should be able to see the Dragon Clan. Lin Moyu pointed forward, signaling Xiao Mei to look. Xiao Mei exerted her eyesight to look over, and sure enough, she saw several behemoths. "I see them! They seem to be sleeping!" Several Elemental Dragons were lying on the ground, seemingly asleep. On the vast land, there were not a few Elemental Dragons, and most of them were asleep. Only a few were in a waking state. Lin Moyu smiled, "They are indeed sleeping. Most of their time is spent sleeping; sometimes they can sleep for a hundred years." Xiao Mei stuck out her tongue, "They can sleep for so long? Do the Dragons not need to cultivate?"
