Chapter 532 Naropa's Six Laws, the Four Venerable Ones
"The Great Vairocana Buddha Tathagata's Crown Dharani Mantra, what a long name."
Because of his cultivation of "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand," Bai Ze had a considerable understanding of Buddhist scriptures and knew that Vairocana Buddha was the supreme deity revered in Esoteric Buddhism—Mahavairocana Buddha.
However, he didn't know much about this particular passage.
This scripture is recited entirely in the difficult Sanskrit pronunciation, and requires a special breathing frequency and fluctuating intonation.
It's less a scripture and more a breathing technique.
The difficult pronunciation itself is a method, and when combined with the content of the scriptures, it forms a way to stimulate the body's vital energy and promote the formation of internal energy.
But this passage is not just that.
Bai Ze transformed his body, converting his internal energy to resemble that of an ordinary person without internal energy.
Then, he recited the scripture in an uneven tone: "Namo Ratna Trayaya, Namo Arya Avalokiteshvara..."
As the scriptures were recited, the vital energy surged, making the vital energy that was originally integrated into the limbs and bones more apparent, forming a wisp of internal energy.
Of course, it was Bai Ze who recited it that made it so effective.
For an ordinary person, it would take at least a year, or at most several years, to refine a wisp of internal energy. Considering the high-altitude environment there, and with the help of scriptures, this time can be shortened.
Bai Ze used his extraordinary wisdom to calculate the result.
Although this breathing method has the side effect of squeezing out the body's potential, which is exacerbated in high-altitude environments, these side effects can be compensated for.
Becoming a martial artist can add at least twenty years to one's lifespan, while the side effect is at most a reduction of a few years in lifespan.
Twenty years versus several years – just think about how much more cost-effective that is.
Compared to the evil practices of the Sacred Heart Sect, this scripture is a godsend for non-martial artists.
"However, the internal energy cultivated through this method will naturally be governed by a higher-level technique of the same origin. Furthermore, the deeper one cultivates, the closer one will become to martial artists of the same origin. Thus, faith is formed."
Bai Ze, after examining Sodar Dorje's memories, gently revealed the greatest impact of this scripture.
Hormonal changes in the body can affect a person's consciousness, and the formation of internal energy is the process of refining essence into energy. Basically, any practice will affect the body's hormones.
The most basic side effect of most evil and demonic arts is that they cause hormonal imbalances and extreme emotions from the very beginning.
Therefore, demonic arts are demonic arts, and there is no such thing as using them for good.
You've practiced your kung fu to the point of insanity, and you still want to use it for good?
The scripture extracted from Sodar Dorje's memory has very minor side effects, far less than the evil practices of the Sacred Heart Sect, but it will still be classified as an evil practice, or even a demonic practice.
Practicing this skill will affect one's self, planting the seeds of reverence for the Kalachakra Temple and Shingon Temple when one is weak. Even if one can subdue oneself in the future, one's nature will never be changed.
Most importantly, internal energy and true energy will be governed by higher-level methods, and if needed, they can even directly extract vital energy to nourish themselves.
Throughout the entire sphere of influence of Tantric Buddhism, all martial artists who have refined their internal energy using this scripture are, in fact, reserve resources.
It's no wonder that Shingon Temple tried to sabotage the alliance between Dongxia and Ursus.
The God of War has already set his sights on the Shingon Temple. If it weren't for the current unfavorable situation, the Martial Arts Association's forces might already be there.
Once the existence of this scripture is discovered, Shingonji Temple will either flee en masse or commit suicide.
From a utilitarian perspective, the value of those reserve supplies is nowhere near that of the Shingon Temple or even the Kalachakra Temple, but in the eyes of the God of War, the value between the two is clearly not that equivalent.
Just as Lu Mingzhou once said, a martial artist must have a dream.
As Lu Mingzhou's old classmate, and even his mentor, the "God of War" is clearly a man with dreams.
In reality, some practical benefits are clearly not as valuable as the military genius's dream of protecting his country.
The Shingon Temple clearly understood the God of War's power and had no intention of challenging his dream. Therefore, they chose to directly cause trouble and disrupt the alliance between Dongxia and Ursus.
If Dongxia suffers a defeat in this war, the already turbulent situation caused by the defection of the Third Divine Enemy will be further exacerbated.
By then, the Martial Arts Association and the Parliament will be exhausted from maintaining the situation, and they won't have the energy to deal with other matters.
Instead of fleeing en masse, or committing suicide, Shingonji planned to seize territory and establish their own independent regime.
It's not too late for everyone to flee after this option fails.
From Sodar Dorje's memories, Bai Ze had already discerned the plans of the Shingon Temple and discovered the shadow of the Kalachakra Temple, the leader of the Tantric sect.
"At this critical juncture, all sorts of monsters and demons have come out."
Bai Ze extracted the wisp of internal energy he had just refined from his body and examined it in his hand.
A divine light flickered in his blood-red eyes, deducing all the effects caused by this wisp of internal energy.
He once analyzed Koshche's innate supernatural power, the "Equation of Life." Although he didn't completely uncover Koshche's foundation, he was still able to replicate it to a great extent through his words.
The person who created this method was indeed incredibly talented, managing to devise a way to stimulate internal energy using scriptures, but the level of this method was still too low.
No matter how ingenious it is, it is still just a method used to stimulate internal energy and influence consciousness. Bai Ze was able to analyze it thoroughly in just a few minutes.
Then there's the shadow of "The Equation of Life":
'
Bai Ze showed a look of disgust. "You really are everywhere, Kosch'e."
Innate supernatural power is a product born from the combination of physical cultivation and divine will. One can glimpse the cultivation and foundation of its owner from innate supernatural power.
Having analyzed the "Equation of Life," Bai Ze was extremely familiar with the techniques created by Kosch'e.
When he cut it open, he immediately recognized it as Koche's masterpiece.
The two largest sects of Tantric Buddhism are both associated with Koshya.
While it's possible that the method was derived from "The Theory of Immortal Evolution," it's more likely that it was Kosché's own work.
In the closed environment of Tantric Buddhism, it would be too much to ask for a biological expert who could understand Kosch's works.
Kosché himself was indeed generous, distributing "The Theory of Immortal Evolution" far and wide, and countless people obtained it. But very few could truly understand it and master its techniques.
Considering that this scripture has been circulating on the Tibetan Plateau for decades, it is likely that the Tantric sect has long been in cahoots with Koshya.
This timeline could even be traced back to the era when the Great Freedom Demonic Cult invaded from India.
That was the period when true freedom was most active.
Until he was struck down by three divine enemies, the Great Freedom was the most threatening evil god.
If there's even the smallest crack, even an egg, Da Zizai will be interested in poking it.
If they were to add a Great Freedom to the mix, then the Rin-gu Temple and the Shingon Temple would truly be on the God of War's kill list. Therefore, their actions might be quite insane.
Bai Ze slowly made his judgment.
A hazy crimson aura emanated from the void, twisting into a massive crimson vortex.
A blurry figure appeared in the center of the vortex.
"It's been a long time, you four."
The voice of the third divine enemy drifted from the vortex, and beneath the crimson vortex, a massive wheel slowly rotated. At each of the four sides of the wheel was a stone pedestal, upon which sat four lamas draped in deep red robes.
"I hope that the four of you will not disappoint me today, as we meet again after fifty years."
That being said, judging from the mocking tone in the Third Divine Enemy's voice, one could tell that he had the four old men cornered today.
On the eastern pedestal, a lama, aged yet possessing the appearance of a middle-aged man, slowly spoke: "At this point, why does Your Excellency need to toy with us? If Your Excellency hadn't lured Palden Lhamo and the Lord of the Cemetery to the Mountain and Sea Realm, causing them to expose their connection with us, why would we have come to this..."
A poor choice.
"hehe."
The Third God's Enemy sneered, "If you hadn't secretly worshipped the evil god and relied on his power, you wouldn't be in this predicament today. If you hadn't been so greedy and hadn't been using the same old methods for decades, you wouldn't be facing the danger of your entire clan being wiped out."
"If it weren't for my secret help, you would have been exposed long ago."
After the third campaign to eradicate evil gods, there was no longer any open belief in evil gods in the entire Eastern Xia.
Furthermore, taking advantage of the demon-slaying campaign, the Martial Arts Association established branches in various places, even in secluded areas like the Tibetan Plateau, where members of the Martial Arts Association were stationed.
The scriptures, which were originally kept secret due to the closed environment, had actually been leaked long ago. It was only because the Third Divine Enemy intervened that they were not exposed.
Now is the time for the third enemy to receive his reward.
After years of concealment, Tantric Buddhism must make some kind of statement.
"You should thank me," the Third God's mocking laughter echoed in the air.
His words were like a sharp arrow, piercing through the feigned strength of the four lamas.
Who knows your current predicament better than the person who harmed you?
Before the Third Divine Enemy absorbed demonic blood and underwent its transformation, it had already laid out a plan targeting the Tantric sect. Now that the plan is nearing its end, the Tantric sect has no way out.
"Indeed, Tantric Buddhism needs Your Majesty's help now."
The leading lama let out a soft sigh.
But then he changed his tone, "But we may not need help. Even if Tantric Buddhism is destroyed, and the Wheel of Time stops its eternal rotation, we can still save our lives. Martial artists are ultimately beings whose power originates from themselves; all external things can be discarded."
"Therefore, I will not allow you to try to sway me with the survival of Tantra."
The being in the vortex remained confident, saying, "Longzhi, you have used the Six Methods of Transference of Consciousness and Body Seizure to reincarnate three times in the past hundred years, cultivating four bodies simultaneously. You have already mastered four of the Five Great Vidyarajas. You still need one last reincarnation to master the final form, but because of the multiple reincarnations that have fragmented your consciousness, your foundation has been damaged. That is why you have pinned your hopes on the Path of the Evil God in an attempt to make up for the damage."
The four lamas began to breathe rapidly, almost imperceptibly.
At this moment, the four people, who had different appearances and figures, showed the same fluctuation in expression.
Because their consciousness is unified.
Among the Six Dharmas of Naropa in Esoteric Buddhism, there are two secret methods: "Transfer of Consciousness" and "Seizing the Body." When mastered, one can transfer one's own consciousness and seize the body of a compatible physical body.
Master Longzhi of the Kalachakra Palace had long since mastered the Six Laws of Naropa to the highest level, and had been reborn three times, possessing three different bodies.
Including the original body, there are four bodies, and now the four of them govern the Kalachakra Palace, known as the "Four Great Venerables". But no one knows that these four great venerables are actually one person.
Now, the Third Divine Enemy has revealed a secret that should have been known only to himself.
However, the most important thing is the information leaked by the third enemy.
"Does Your Excellency have a way to help me?" the four asked simultaneously.
They no longer refer to themselves as "we" but simply as "I," indicating they have no intention of making any unnecessary pretense.
"I once helped Ananda of the Mechanical Monks ascend to godhood, and I myself have stolen the faith of the Great Freedom and occupied its position. Do you think I have any way to achieve this?"
The Third Divine Enemy said leisurely, "But even if I told you the truth, you might not believe me. There's nothing I can do about it; my ex had already exhausted his reputation."
The Great Freedom is infamous for its fraudulent activities, which initially led to the downfall of the entire kingdom of India and the swindling of 400 million believers.
Blessed are those who believe in the Great Freedom.
Now the third enemy of God has also become the Great Freedom, taking away his faith, but also taking over the Great Freedom's debts.
"Therefore, I will show you the way."
The Third Divine Enemy chuckled, "Dongxia Bai Ze, he has seized a portion of my power and possesses the blood of the Great Freedom Demon, yet he is beyond my control. He himself is also the most suitable vessel for reincarnation. If you can possess him, you will not only gain knowledge of the Way of the Evil God, but also obtain the last body."
"Since you developed this method yourselves, you shouldn't have to worry about being schemed against by me, right?"
Upon hearing this, the four Venerable Ones all looked thoughtful, and their hearts were already moved.
If the Third Divine Enemy were to impart the Dharma, even if they accepted it, they would absolutely not believe it.
But if you develop it yourself...
Mu Yaoguang, a cripple, was able to create the Great Freedom Dharma Body, restore his cultivation, and break through using the Great Freedom Demon Blood. How could he, a Heavenly Gate Warrior, not do the same?
Therefore, even if it meant being used as a weapon by the third divine enemy to deal with Bai Ze, he would not hesitate.
Since he's already on the God of War's blacklist, he doesn't care about adding another crime of assassinating a genius.
At that moment, a hideous phantom appeared, with Lakshmi riding a yellow mule above the wheel.
Anger was infused into the four Venerable Ones, directly revealing Bai Ze's actions.
While Lakshmi's retreat at the last minute preserved the consciousness and power she had descended, she couldn't swallow her anger.
Therefore, she simply passed the message on to the four venerable masters, letting them handle this mess in Tantric Buddhism.
"It seems that this Bai Ze benefactor is indeed destined to be with Buddhism."
The four Venerable Ones spoke in unison as the light fell upon the crimson vortex.
Clearly, the third enemy of the gods played a role in this.
However, the four Venerable Ones did not care.
When opportunity presents itself, how can one not seize it?
