With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal Chapter 572 - 524: Dreamlike Illusions, Arhat Stance, Journe
If you want to put it that way.
Among the martial arts masters he knows, there’s the seven-limit Divine Dragon Daoist, the soon-to-break-seven Principal Sui, and the Celestial King Lu Ang guarding the Northern Lands.
These renowned strong figures, none of them believe in the Immortals and Buddhas...
Jue Ming smiled broadly; everyone loves to hear good words.
Then, once he finished his ritual of apology to the future.
He led him to look at the sides, the Four Heavenly Kings.
"Brother ng, do you need to introduce the Four Heavenly Kings?"
ng Chuan smiled and said:
"I recognize them, but not much of their deeper aning. I hope the young master can enlighten ."
The one holding a pipa, is the Eastern Guardian.
The one wielding a sword, is the Southern Increase.
The one handling a long snake, is the Western Wide-Eyes.
The one gripping the treasure banner, is the Northern Multitude-Heard.
Jue Ming put his hands together in prayer as he greeted them one by one, without bowing.
Returning to his side, he stated:
"These four grand kings, they belong neither to the Arhat, nor the Bodhisattvas, nor the Buddhas.
Instead, they are the guardian celestial gods of our Buddhist sect, belonging to the celestial beings in our doctrinal texts, tasked with safeguarding the Buddhist Teachings and protecting the world.
But Brother ng, you must know, they protect the [world], not [humanity]."
"What do you an?"
Does the world encompass human dinsions?
The Four Heavenly Kings are guarding the universe?
Can they overpower the demons?
"This world refers to the Four Great Continents in our Buddhist cosmology; do you know where our humanity resides?"
"...I would like the young master to enlighten ."
"The world where humans dwell is called Jambudvipa, located to the south of Mount Suru, governed by the Southern Increase Heavenly King."
ng Chuan pondered and asked:
"Young master, have you seen the manifestation of the Increase Heavenly King’s true form?"
Regarding the Immortal Buddha Realm and the matters of demonic influence, the opposite party seed unaware, so he phrased it differently.
"Certainly, I have seen."
"Are the other three not guarding humanity, therefore unseen?"
"Not quite, the other three are guarding our Buddhist sacred lands and all beings; they reside deeply within the eastern continent, western continent, northern continent, and do not reveal themselves easily."
ng Chuan nodded in understanding.
He translated it ntally, aning the Buddha’s realm is vast, aside from the Southern Increase, the other three are in the realm guarding the Buddha, with no reason to erge...
Curious, he further asked:
"Have you then seen the manifestation of the Future Buddha Maitreya Buddha’s true form?"
Jue Ming smiled and said:
"The Future Buddha exists only in the future, unseen by anyone in the past, nor at present."
"Can you see it when you go to the future?"
Jue Ming gathered his thoughts, contemplating seriously for a mont.
Noddingly solemn:
"Yes."
...
In the hall, the shadows of the two grew shorter.
After today’s viewing of the Celestial King Hall, ng Chuan gained greatly, feeling quite satisfied.
Martial arts and logic, there’s martial and there’s logic.
After listening to Master Baibao’s sermon, he then heard the young monk guide the Buddhist philosophical anecdotes.
In the future, for practical application in Buddhist Martial Arts, there will be plenty of chances for cross-category insights.
The Four Heavenly Kings, along with current, future, and past Buddhas, are truly majestic...
But he is not obsessed with these things.
Just as in the morning, after comprehending the fist concept, Master Baibao’s first quote from the Diamond Sutra.
"All conditioned phenona are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows; like dew and lightning, they should be viewed as such."
Everything that is created due to conditional causes, like dreams, illusions, bubbles, etc., are all deceptive and epheral, temporary and fleeting, re appearances.
In his understanding, applying it to these Immortals and Buddhas, it is...
The origin of Immortals and Buddhas stems from people’s faith, generating conditions, offerings are the conditions for its formation!
With no people, the countless Immortals and Buddhas, everything becos like dreams and illusions...
Listening about these great Buddhas and deities, not only is he unaffected, his martial arts will becos even more resolute.
Only cultivate oneself!
Realize the truth through fists and kicks!
The Immortals and Buddhas can be unbowed to, but the Buddhist scriptures and teachings must still be learned.
He hasn’t forgotten, it’s this saying that woke him from the shadows of the Heart Demon illusion, realizing his own martial arts will...
...
The Shaolin scripture pavilion.
ng Chuan looked up admiring the height of the building, surpassing United University and Wudang.
Why is it so?
On one hand, Shaolin’s heritage is already profound.
Add to that, he speculated, most of the Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist martial arts are placed here, stacked high to appear taller.
"Please, young master."
"Brother ng, you’re too kind, it’s no trouble."
The little monk Jue Ming responded, entering the scripture pavilion for a mont.
Upon erging, he brought out a hardcover thick volu.
In terms of martial arts learning thods, Shaolin Temple still adheres to old traditional thods.
Outdated!
This thick book, how much more convenient it would be to flip through on a smartphone...
The young monk handed over the thick volu in his hand:
"Brother ng, take a look, this is our Shaolin Temple’s fist technique manual, which contains a general introduction to fist techniques.
Apart from Arhat Fist, there are various other fist techniques and even top-tier true skills."
Venerable Shi had instructed that aside from true skills and untransmitted secrets, he could freely choose.
This is also, implicitly, compensation regarding matters of Hui Yuan.
"Thank you, young master, I’ll take a look first."
ng Chuan took the thick volu, glancing at the binding, it’s almost two-finger wide.
His fingers are thick, comparable to three of others.
Then he and Jue Ming sat together on the temple steps outside, flipping through and examining.
On the table of contents, the two volus in front and back were divided into Elephant Form and Xingyi two major sects.
Among them, the detailed sect divisions and classified numbers, totaled up to nine hundred and forty-eight pages!
The Xingyi sect fist techniques are recorded starting from the six hundredth page.
Glancing at the whole picture, it can be seen that in Shaolin Temple, martial artists are more specialized in the Elephant Form sect.
No worries, it’s enough.
At the mont, he’s not particularly interested in other fist techniques.
He still has a whole bunch of Five Elents Fist waiting to break limits; he just needs to seek the Arhat fist technique he most requires. Too much greed won’t help.
The directory is clear and straightforward. ng Chuan directly flipped to the back of the thick book.
Looking through the Elephant Form Arhat fist techniques to find one suitable for himself.
Thanks to the enhancent of spiritual power, his perception is extrely strong, far surpassing ordinary people.
He scanned quickly with extraordinary comprehension and soon morized the introductions of over forty fist techniques.
"How is it?"
Jue Ming is curious, not knowing which ng Chuan would choose.
He practices Elephant Form.
If he had ng Chuan’s level of comprehension, he would surely choose the most top-level true skill fist technique among them.
[Breaking Evil and Overcoming Hardship Seven Slays]!
This Elephant Form Arhat fist technique evolved from the Arhats Dragon Subduer and Tiger Tar.
Within the technique, there is divine power!
Subduing the evil dragon represents the power of Buddhist teachings to dispel evil;
Subduing the fierce tiger symbolizes dissolving violent troubles through compassion and wisdom.
This top Elephant Form fist technique has extrely high demands on comprehension and Buddhist principles, and he is still lacking, so can only envy...
It is rumored, that the renowned [Buddhist Zen Dragon Tiger Divine Skill] of Yanhua Martial Arts University.
Was also created based on this fist technique.
Back to reality, Jue Ming saw ng Chuan still hadn’t answered him, so he quietly waited for him to make a selection.
Ti slowly passed, ng Chuan took a breath, closed the thick book and smiled:
"Little Monk, help fetch the second-tier [Exploring Hand Wide Fist] and first-tier [Long Brow Fist].
Low-level true skill [King of Equality Fist], and... [Diamond Subjduing Devils Palm]."
The first three, all belong to the Elephant Form Arhat fist lineage.
They are transmitted from the Arhats Exploring Hand, Long Brow, and Bowl Holder.
Through reading the fist technique book, he roughly understands.
These three are also ancient martial fist techniques without the later "magic alterations" or "secondary creations."
They are entirely evolved from the manifestation of three Arhats.
Rooting directly to the Arhat technique lineage.
ng Chuan feels that learning this type of fist technique makes "summoning spirit" easier...
Ancient martial fist practice has a high difficulty.
To improve efficiency, he also specially chose the Long Fist lineage based on the fist route.
By practicing like this, he can also gain the effect of [War Soul] trait.
Ancient Martial Long Fist, with Qi Jiguang’s thirty-two styles as a pearl in the front, added with his own long fist martial principles, making further progress.
With these multiple boosts, to diligently improve mastery speed is certainly not slow, most suitable for "rapid skill acquisition."
Why choose a book for each difficulty level?
From easy to difficult, trying them one by one.
If Exploring Hand Wide Fist can’t summon "Arhat Spirit," then switch to Long Brow Fist, finally King of Equality Fist.
He just doesn’t believe it, that it can’t be summoned...
As for the last one [Diamond Subjduing Devils Palm], it’s unrelated to Arhat fist.
This is among the Shaolin, second only to the secret "Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques" series, added as interdiate true skill earth-elent fist.
Previously at the Martial Monk Courtyard, Huiyuan aid to kill him with this palm.
As a "victim" of Diamond Subjduing Devils Palm, feeling its power directly, ng Chuan chooses to learn it...
Earth-elent, a weak link within his Five Elents Fist.
Learning it adheres to the bucket theory, completing the weaker segnt of the Five Elents.
It works beneath the heavens of Martial Arts celestial mountain, also solidifying the mountain base.
Upon hearing, Jue Ming found no objection.
All ng Chuan selected were Arhat fist lineage, he didn’t find it strange either.
After all...
"Brother ng’s Arhat physique is most suitable for practicing Arhat fist."
Others envy his physical talent.
Yet he himself, doesn’t he also envy ng Chuan...
...
That night, at the garden of the platform.
ng Chuan stood outside, borrowed fist techniques placed on the natural stone pier at his feet.
The main purpose of learning new fists is to contact Arhat comrades as soon as possible.
Practicing Exploring Hand Wide Fist and Long Brow Fist.
The other two more difficult ones are set aside for now.
However, regardless of the thod, a solid foundation in Arhat fist lineage must be established to facilitate ridian power exertion.
The foundation of Arhat fist is to first learn how to establish [Arhat Pile].
What is Arhat Pile?
He stood with feet apart, contemplating the key points of Arhat Pile described in the book.
Drop shoulders, sink elbows, inflating qi and relaxing waist, upper body dispersing lightly.
Contract pelvis, twist hips, tendons taut, lower body tightened.
Exhale...
Inhale...
According to the book, slowly controlling breathing rhythm, feeling ridian force exertion.
Arhat Pile also corresponds to eighteen pile skill movents, quite a number.
Yet thanks to the study of [Boundless Technique] body technique.
As he practices each movent, he can discover many small flaws and improve them.
In less than an hour, ng Chuan has mastered it.
Stand casually, body posture transford.
Just like a Buddhist sect master who has been learning Arhat Pile for a long ti, indistinguishably.
Originally what was learned at Shaolin Temple as a foundation.
With his current martial arts accomplishnts, coupled with a proof forever proof, it’s truly not difficult.
If Wudang’s pre-fist practice warm-up routine is Tai Chi.
Shaolin Temple, then is establishing this Arhat Pile.
What’s the use?
ng Chuan seems to have so realization.
In the body, virtual above and solid below, virtual and real reciprocating.
The body bones under these strange postures slowly beco active.
In a mont, his skin gradually turns red.
Blood and qi blood activated, a thread of warm breath rises from the tightened pile root, spreading from solid to virtual, hence perating the entire body.
This warm breath does not align with the transford scorching inner breath.
He’s not using cultivation technique; this is born from the experience of Arhat Pile, producing new divine phenona.
According to the cultivation technique, this is [Arhat Inner Strength].
