Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Chapter 829 - 823: The Distinction Between Buddhist Dao and the Heart Fire of the King of Light


Qin Feng ultimately did not choose to leave directly.

Since he was warmly invited, and he had no urgent matters to attend to, after some consideration, he decided to stay for a while to see the grandeur of Buddhism, experience its divine skills, and incidentally seek advice from these Buddhist masters on the cultivation method of the “Immovable Ming King Heart Sutra.”

Venerable Hui Jue and others were initially surprised at Qin Feng’s willingness to seek advice on Buddhist cultivation techniques, but soon they were somewhat delighted.

It seems this Heavenly Destiny Chosen Son has some connection with Buddhism!

Although they did not dare to convert Qin Feng into a Buddhist disciple, it was still good that a future Golden Immortal Great Power would be close to Buddhism.

Though Qin Feng soon clarified that he was asking questions not for himself but for his subordinate Spiritual Beast, Venerable Hui Jue and others were indifferent, even suggesting that Qin Feng summon that Spiritual Beast directly to listen to their teachings, as it might gain more benefits.

In terms of cultivation technique inheritance, Buddhism, unlike Daoism, generously opens its doors and is willing to spread Buddhist teachings worldwide, allowing anyone to cultivate as they wish.

This is not because Buddhism is more generous than Daoism, but for other reasons.

Daoist masters are exceptionally protective of their cultivation technique inheritance, as these techniques embody their years of insights and understanding. They are unwilling to impart them to the wrong people or teach a pupil who might later become a scourge.

Otherwise, even though Daoism does not value karma as much as Buddhism does, a disciple’s evil acts can still implicate the master.

Thus, Daoism has always been very cautious in selecting disciples, prioritizing fate first, then nature, and finally root bone, only accepting them after various assessments.

This is still the way of ordinary small sects and loose cultivators.

Any sect with some influence conducts thorough investigations into the origins of their disciples, and before being admitted to the Inner Sect, they undergo numerous tests in the Outer Sect, where their nature and loyalty to the sect are all checked before they can participate in external competitions and be admitted to the Inner Sect through assessment.

Sects like the Beast Taming Sect, even after entering the Inner Sect, continue with various overt and covert tests to avoid any disciples with evil tendencies or secretive spies.

Moreover, the possibility of being taken under the wing of an Inner Sect Elder—or just holding the title of Inner Sect disciple and receiving unified teachings from the Teaching Hall Elder—depends on their fortunes.

Once taken under an Elder, they forge a teacher-student bond closer than father and son. The master diligently imparts wisdom to the disciple, nurturing them to success. If they succeed in cultivating an immortal on the Longevity Dao, it’s particularly impressive and fulfilling.

This method of inheritance, though laden with rules, has been the consistent style of Daoism from ancient times, maximally avoiding misleading disciples!

Daoism is strict in accepting disciples because its techniques are easier to cultivate, moving step by step, with each stage clearly defined, each realm meticulously divided. Cultivators at each realm have clear understanding, and with various divine skill secret methods handed down, Daoism produces countless geniuses every generation!

Buddhism, however, is different.

Buddhism places the utmost importance on understanding!

Even before formally cultivating Buddhist techniques, one must first recite Buddhist scriptures and comprehend a divine skill from them to officially cultivate Buddhist techniques. Otherwise, they can only cultivate non-Buddhist techniques first and switch after achieving success.

But switching techniques doesn’t make one a true Buddhist disciple; with fixed foundations, their future potential is certainly inferior to those who cultivate from the ground up within Buddhism, hence not the right path!

Only those wholeheartedly devoted, with pure and intelligent nature, can early comprehend the true essence of Buddhist teachings and embark on cultivation!

However, average individuals are more numerous, and naturally intelligent ones are in the minority, so understanding the true essence of Buddhism from a few scriptures is very difficult,

If they comprehend it, while not suddenly reaching the top, they truly enter the Buddhist cultivation system.

But if they don’t fully comprehend, even living a lifetime of seclusion studying Buddhism, they won’t achieve anything significant, ultimately ending up as dust, with souls returning to Netherworld! seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With a sufficiently steadfast heart for Buddhism, even after decades of hard practice creating some Buddhist divine skills, if age prevents further accomplishments, when life span approaches its end, a ray of Buddha light might protect their soul through the Guiding Treasure Tower for rebirth, continuing cultivation in a new life.

Many high monks in Buddhism have undergone multiple rebirths and re-cultivations, achieving great insight into Buddhist teachings in one life, becoming eminent monks, even directly cultivating a Golden Body!

The difficulty of comprehending Buddhist teachings is why Buddhism generously opens its doors wide, allowing and even actively spreading Buddhist techniques to attract more practitioners.

Even without entering a temple, building a Buddhist hall at home and reciting scriptures, as long as they cultivate Buddhist divine skills, they are considered Buddhist disciples.

The cultivation of Buddhist techniques is inherently connected to one’s heart for Buddhism. Once benefiting from it, wanting to advance further, they can only delve deeper into Buddhist scriptures, becoming increasingly absorbed, ultimately becoming a member of Buddhism!

Buddhism generously opens its doors wide, welcoming people with affinity from all directions.

Even non-humans are welcome!

For instance, those from the Demon Clan, if they have a heart for Buddhism, can also become part of the Eight Guardian Heavenly Dragons, cultivating Buddhist divine skills!

The stark difference from Daoism also stems from Buddhism’s single highest existence: Amitabha Buddha!

Though Buddhism boasts countless strong figures, with followers of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, ultimately, the faith resides with Amitabha Buddha!

No matter how many temples or Bodhisattvas’ or Buddhas’ venues spread, ultimately they are like fingers on an open hand reaching outward in different directions, but when closed, they form a powerful fist.

In contrast, Daoism differs, though everyone chants Infinite Heavenly Venerable, there is not just one Heavenly Venerable in Daoism!

Tracing back to the origin, many cultivation techniques passed down by Daoist sects stem from different founding ancestries.

In fact, apart from those Heavenly Venerables who established the teachings, there are countless great powers, ancestors, and even immortals who have passed down innumerable techniques.

This is why Daoism, in addition to its orthodox inheritance, has three thousand branches and eight hundred side paths!

Unlike Buddhism, which is at most divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Small Mahayana Buddhism.

However, from another perspective, this also highlights the strength of Daoism!

It is precisely because of being too strong that it leads to such scatteredness, preventing Daoism from ever uniting into a single rope.

Yet they do not necessarily need to twist into a single rope, as they can twist into many strands; otherwise, a rope that is too thick may not be useful!

Venerable Hui Jue is an orthodox Buddhist cultivator, so he does not mind outsiders wanting to cultivate Buddhist teachings, as long as they do not steal the core inheritance of the Great Light Temple, there is no issue.

Therefore, he is not only willing to explain the Buddhist Law to Qin Feng, but also actively lets Qin Feng summon the Light Giant Dragon to listen to the teachings, which would be beneficial for this dragon’s future cultivation.

Since they have said this, Qin Feng certainly would not be polite and directly summoned the White Dragon.

The White Dragon transformed into human form, respectfully saluted Venerable Hui Jue and several Buddhist masters before cautiously sitting behind Qin Feng.

Its caution is necessary, because it is only at the Demigod Realm, and anyone present in the hall is stronger than it.

Even among the little monks serving outside the hall, there are two whose strength is not weaker than it, so how dare it act arrogantly here?

So it early on withdrew its Dragon Power, transformed into a tall and pure woman, and, with an obedient and respectful demeanor, imitated Qin Feng’s posture in sitting cross-legged.

After a round of explanation, the White Dragon indeed benefited a lot.

The “Immovable Ming King Heart Sutra” is considered a top inheritance even among various Buddhist skills, and if one were to invest entirely, there might be a chance to cultivate to the Bodhisattva Realm in the future.

Unfortunately, the White Dragon’s talent lies in the Light, and it has already cultivated to the Demigod Realm; moreover, Qin Feng needs it to comprehend even more profound Light Principles, so he certainly does not allow it to completely switch to Buddhist skills.

This is why it is practicing both, especially integrating the Immovable Ming King Heart Fire Divine Power, so the White Dragon does not need an overly profound understanding of the Buddhist Law.

Otherwise, asking an Otherworld Giant Dragon to comprehend the profound meanings that many monks find difficult to grasp would be too much of a challenge.

Now, by merely borrowing from this Buddhist skill “Immovable Ming King Heart Sutra” and integrating a divine power from it, it’s relatively easy.

Under Venerable Hui Jue’s explanation and Qin Feng’s commentary through the Mind Transmission Skill with the Binding Spell, the dual approach quickly allowed the White Dragon to grasp the essence, understanding the tricks to cultivating the Immovable Ming King Heart Fire Divine Power.

Inwardly, a few enlightenment insights slowly arose following the explanations of Venerable Hui Jue, and unconsciously, its body began operating according to the technique of the Immovable Ming King Heart Fire Divine Power.

Then came a soft whooshing sound as a surge of vigorous heat wave emanated from it.

Being a Light Giant Dragon, with extremely powerful Light Magic Power, combined with several evolutions of its Lifebound Holy Flame, wielding considerable might, it operated using the Immovable Ming King Heart Fire Divine Power, causing changes in its World-Purifying Holy Flame.

The World-Purifying Holy Flame, initially capable of burning all impurities in the world, remained pure and aggressive, intolerant of any other elements, but now it became hotter and more violent, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment!

Sitting in front of the White Dragon, Qin Feng felt it the most, sensing the fiery aura around the White Dragon seemed to have gained emotion, filled with an endless rage intent, wishing to incinerate everything in the world!

He did not use Defensive Divine Power to resist the intense flames on the White Dragon to avoid disturbing its insight, instead, he slashed through the void with his hand, causing the space outside his body to twist momentarily.

With the power of Space Law, he distorted the space, so even without moving his body, the distance between them instantly spanned thousands of miles, preventing the flames from burning him unless they could break through space!

Qin Feng turned to look, seeing the woman transformed from the White Dragon covered in sacred flames, appearing like a goddess.

Now, although not yet a goddess, it’s not far off; once the Angel’s Heart is refined, it would be enough to promote her to Dragon God!

Besides the Angel’s Heart, there are other resources, and as long as this White Dragon doesn’t laze around like in its early years, it should soon catch up with the other Spiritual Beasts.

Venerable Hui Jue’s voice did not cease, yet he was no longer explaining the methods of the “Immovable Ming King Heart Sutra,” instead, he recited a Buddhist scripture, his voice moderate yet precisely reaching the White Dragon’s heart, gradually soothing its inner fury, causing its flames to calm down!

With the flames on the White Dragon withdrawn, it kept its eyes closed, digesting the insights gained!

Connected by spirit, Qin Feng noticed that it would not awaken anytime soon, so he stopped paying attention and began discussing with Venerable Hui Jue and others about the differences between Buddhist cultivation techniques and Daoist practices.

The conversation grew lively, and they also included Confucian techniques and Demon Path methods, straying further in topics, eventually leading the Buddhist monks to bring up the Light God Clan encountered in the previous battle.

Seeing the White Dragon again reminded them of the methods of the mighty ones from the Light Great World, prompting an analysis of the Light Element power compared to the strength in the Cultivation World.

As they continued, Monk Hui Jue mentioned the inevitability of a future battle with the Light Great World, suggesting that preparations should start early.

At this point, Qin Feng recalled something and smiled, saying: “No need for worry, esteemed masters, I recall seeing an adversary of the Angel Divine Clan a few years back; if convinced to join us, they might become a significant ally for Biluo!”
