Chapter 127

“Alright, everyone’s here. Lingyu, tell us about this Heart-Questioning Mantra. Jin Jiuling may not be a good person, but his strength is undeniable. Even he fell for it, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to escape it either. Knowing more about it will give us some peace of mind.”

Lu Xiaofeng’s words resonated with everyone; this move was truly terrifying. No one wanted to face such an unpredictable and all-knowing Taoist technique.

That’s terrifying.

Even Li Xunhuan was terrified of such unorthodox Taoist arts.

“What I am is nothing compared to the truly terrifying one, the Eighth Master, who is now the King of Tibet, the Mongolian National Preceptor, the Living Buddha of this era, and the head of the Tantric school. He disregards fame, fortune, life, and death, striving to comprehend the great Dharma wheel of the Tibetan Buddhist canon that transcends life and death. His status is more esteemed than that of an emperor, and his unparalleled talent surpasses that of all beings, making him invincible throughout the world.”

It can be said that, among the two innate grandmasters, if we were to rank them, he would be number one, and also the most terrifying number one.

In terms of spiritual cultivation, he has already surpassed the innate realm and is a rare master of spiritual refinement in this world.

His “Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique” is the same as my Heart-Questioning Mantra. Both are extraordinary spiritual skills acquired after reaching a certain level of spiritual refinement. They can detect and confuse the thoughts of others and make anyone reveal their deepest secrets.

But that’s not the scariest part. The scariest part is that he can control your reincarnation in your mental world. He can make you experience reincarnation directly in a dream, becoming a woman, a prostitute, or a weak scholar, and make you reincarnate according to his script, living another life, or even several lives.

“If he’s willing, he could even let you experience how women give birth in the cycle of reincarnation, Brother Lu, or make you a renowned courtesan with countless clients, and let you taste what it’s like to be penetrated.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng’s expression changed drastically. He immediately became terrified of this Mongolian national teacher and vowed to run as far away as possible if he ever encountered him. Such supernatural powers were too terrifying and evil; no real man wanted to experience them.

Dongfang Bai was also filled with fear upon hearing this. He never imagined that such a terrifying existence existed; it was truly horrifying.

“And what about you? Where is your Heart-Searching Mantra?”

“This is a lower-level technique of the Yellow Millet Dream, which is to examine one’s own heart. It is a way to overcome inner demons and self-examine, and it can also be used on others. Those with impure hearts and a belly full of wicked thoughts will naturally fall into the trap themselves and cannot overcome their own inner demons, just like Jin Jiuling.”

The “Dream of the Yellow Millet” technique is quite powerful. It was the same method used by Han Zhongli to enlighten Lü Zu, and it is definitely no less effective than the “Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique” of Tibetan Buddhism.

However, I am definitely no match for him now, so I had to run away when I met Bashiba, otherwise I was afraid that I would be converted and brainwashed by him, and become a so-called great monk, which is to say, a slave to Buddhism.

Among the dangerous individuals mentioned by the ancestor, he ranked first, considered to be above the innate level.

At first, Zhang Weihao didn’t expect that there would be a Bashiba in this world. Now he suddenly understands why Zhang Sanfeng has always been unwilling to ascend. He is probably guarding against this old monster. Is he leaving it as his ultimate boss?

Because of Hachishiba’s existence, Zhang Weihao was not afraid to use the Mangekyou Sharingan’s genjutsu.

After all, his illusion technique is not as powerful as the “Heaven and Earth Strike Technique” yet. It’s not the most powerful one. If others can do it, why can’t I?

“Refining the Spirit?”

Ye Gucheng was actually somewhat confused about his future path in martial arts. This was also a characteristic of the Mingzong world, where the top circles and the circles of masters were severely separated, and ordinary people had no way of getting involved in the final path of advancement.

This is especially evident in the Lu Xiaofeng series.

The most powerful one is naturally the old man Wu Ming. His apprentice Gong Jiu directly overwhelmed Lu Xiaofeng, leaving him speechless and only able to kill him with underhanded tactics. If Wu Ming were to make a move, it would be difficult for Lu Xiaofeng to withstand even three moves, let alone Ximen Chuixue.

Even after reaching his peak, Ximen Chuixue could not possibly defeat Wu Ming in ten moves; this little old man was truly “invincible”.

The two peerless prodigies are Yan Nantian and Yaoyue. These two are completely outmatched by others. Even Lianxing is only a match for Yaoyue in ten moves. Ordinary so-called grandmasters, even those who can be ranked among the top ten masters, can only be defeated in two or three moves.

The stories of Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque are almost over, and according to the original novel, they should be dead within ten moves.

This is also why, in the modified version of “The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws,” Jiang Yuyan’s design absorbed the power of Yaoyue and Lianxing, directly resulting in the list of survivors.

Without a plot-driven death, he wouldn’t die at all; if Yan Nantian came, it would only take him a dozen or so moves.

So when Ye Gucheng, an ordinary top-level expert, reached the limit of what is considered the most outstanding expert in the martial arts world, he was indeed quite confused and did not know how to break through the path ahead, so he would try to cause trouble in various ways.

Zhang Weihao, having been through it all, directly told them the answer: “Yes, refine your spirit. Under normal circumstances, the unity of heaven and man is the limit. Moreover, because one’s own spirit, that is, one’s mental will, is not strong and firm enough, one cannot truly integrate into the heavenly way and laws of this world. The unity of heaven and man is more of a mentality, a state of mind, and one cannot truly borrow the great power of heaven and earth.”

Masters of Spirit Refinement, through Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism—that is, through thought—have forged their own path of martial arts. When Spirit Refinement reaches its peak, they can truly merge with the world and comprehend their own laws and the power of heaven and earth. At this point, they will no longer be facing masters a level above them, but also the mighty power of heaven and earth.

This is also why even the most powerful Innate Grandmaster cannot defeat a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm. It’s not that I look down on anyone, but all of us present combined couldn’t defeat a single Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, not even the weakest among us. If it were a true Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, none of us would be a match for them.

Ning Zhongze, who had just breathed a sigh of relief because of Zhang Weihao’s strength, became very nervous upon hearing this and said, “Even Lingyu is no match for you?”

“I’ve only just entered the Innate Realm, my cultivation level isn’t high enough. No matter how strong my own power is, can I be stronger than the power of heaven and earth? If I could be stronger than the power of heaven and earth, I would surpass the Innate Realm and be able to directly shatter the void with my fist and ascend to heaven in broad daylight. Hmm, the realm above the Innate Realm is about breaking through the dimensional barrier of this world, shattering the void, and ascending to heaven in broad daylight.”
