Chapter 571: Only at the Jindan stage?
"All the Buddhist practitioners in the cultivation world are dead. It's useless to restrain them now." Gongsun Lian frowned.
"Not all of them died. There is one person in the Foundation Establishment Stage in the Yuling Sect."
"As expected of you."
"The way Buddhists cultivate is quite different from that of Taoists and demons. They cultivate their hearts, restraining desires, cultivating their minds, and cultivating their wisdom. During their training, they must cultivate good karma and avoid evil. While we yearn to ascend to immortality, their lifelong goal is to cultivate and become Buddhas."
Gongsun Lian was shocked: "How can a demon cultivator like you understand the cultivation methods of Buddhist cultivators?"
"Because if nothing unexpected happens, I should be the most advanced Buddhist cultivator in the world of cultivation." Bai Lan pointed at himself: "Nascent Soul Stage."
She has practiced the three methods of Taoism, Buddhism and Demonism.
But her Buddhist wisdom was really not that great, and the little she had left has now completely dissipated.
She longed to become stronger and did not have the desireless state of mind of a Buddhist practitioner. She could not give up greed, anger, and ignorance at all. She only knew a lot of theoretical knowledge and had collected a lot of Buddhist and Taoist techniques from the world of cultivation.
In the ancient world, spiritual energy was abundant, and one could achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven even without the need for natural treasures, so there was a profession called Buddhist cultivation.
But in the current world of cultivation, nine out of ten cultivators have at least ten lives on their hands, and the remaining one has at least a hundred lives on its hands. It is extremely difficult to find someone with Buddhist wisdom.
"It's not difficult to find a large number of Buddhist practitioners. There aren't any in the world of cultivation, but there are quite a few in the mortal world. Most of the monks in the temples of the mortal world who are well versed in Buddhism have cultivated the three teachings of precepts, concentration, and wisdom to a high level. The only thing they lack is spiritual power. As long as there are enough spirit stones, it won't be difficult to make them break through to the foundation building stage within a few months..."
After Bai Lan finished speaking, he looked at Gongsun Lian and said, "Send people to various temples in the mortal world to search for monks with spiritual roots. Capture them all and teach them the method of drawing Qi into the body. Once they enter the Qi Refining Stage, I will take away their spirits and teach them the Wuxiang Gong and Guangmu Miaofa Heart Sutra."
The demonic monks and those extraterritorial demons have naturally conflicting attributes, so it is quite difficult for them to fight. Gongsun Lian naturally has no objection to capturing monks to clear out the extraterritorial demons.
"Okay! I'll go right away!"
Gongsun Lian immediately stood up, and quickly turned into a wisp of black smoke and walked towards the Demon Palace.
The Wuxiang Gong and Guangmu Miaofa Heart Sutra are both important means to deal with extraterritorial demons. When the eyes light up and a blink of an eye is enough, countless low-level extraterritorial demons can be burned to death.
The extraterritorial demons above the foundation-building stage have demon cores in their bodies, so they can be kept in captivity and used as a means to train the monks of the Yuling Sect in the future.
Now all she needs to worry about is whether there will be a demon from outside the domain with the cultivation level of the God Transformation Stage... She still has to find a way to capture more God Transformation cultivators in case of emergency.
The use of this magic core also needs to be studied carefully.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Lan saved a file on the spot and flashed back to the Void Stone. Then he returned to the training room, sat cross-legged, and exerted a little force with his hands, crushing the Jindan stage magic core in his hand.
She closed her eyes and absorbed all the demonic energy that overflowed from her body. She then began to try to practice the magic arts with the demonic energy in the demon core.
Although the demonic energy in the demon core was pure, it also contained some violent energy. The moment it rushed into Bai Lan's body, it began to collide everywhere.
But Bai Lan's body was strong, and her meridians had become extremely tough after withstanding countless cruel tests. The violent demonic energy could not cause any damage to her body. Instead, it calmed down the moment it came into contact with the Purple Sky True Fire.
"So that's how it is. After being tempered by the spiritual fire, the violent energy in the magic core can be removed. What remains is pure magic power, which can be used for magic cultivation."
Thinking of this, Bai Lan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Telling Zhuque Island how to tame the Nanming Lihuo was indeed the right choice. Her original intention was just to train some alchemists with spiritual fire for Xuanshazi, but she didn't expect that it would be more useful now.
Several people on Suzaku Island have now successfully tamed the Nanming Lihuo. It is the best choice to entrust the task of tempering the magic core to the monks on Suzaku Island in the future.
"Master Fu, why didn't you say anything today?"
"I've been thinking about something. Your Soul-Breaking Spear is so similar to the Extraterritorial Demon. There must be a connection. If this spear really comes from the Extraterritorial Realm, it must be a treasure."
Bai Lan nodded in agreement, "It only proves one thing. This world was once invaded by extraterritorial demons. The reason the concepts of ascension and the upper realm exist in the world of cultivation is most likely because someone in this world actually ascended to become an immortal. Otherwise, cultivators would stop practicing after reaching the Spiritual Transformation Stage and enjoy their retirement. They wouldn't be so idle as to voluntarily get struck by lightning and be so obsessed with ascension."
They only think that the world of cultivation is the whole world, and they don’t have such a clear concept of things beyond the sky and ascension.
The speed of cultivation in the ancient world described in ancient books was much faster than it is today, and there were countless natural treasures. It can be seen that the spiritual power in the world of cultivation tens of thousands of years ago was several times more abundant than it is now.
The spiritual power of this world is gradually drying up. Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, even the number of cultivators will gradually decrease, and the highest realm of cultivators will slowly drop from the Spirit Transformation Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage and the Core Formation Stage.
Bai Lan had experienced all of this before. The world where her hometown was located was a world where spiritual power was completely exhausted. Only mortals were left to develop technology, but the cultivators had disappeared without a trace.
The so-called Taoism has become a trick to fool people, and the ancient world has become a legend.
I don’t know what her hometown is like now...If she can leave here one day, she will definitely go back and try to revive her spiritual power and bring life back to that world.
"Well, what you said makes sense." Fu Lao nodded in agreement: "So what are you going to do now?"
"Give it a try."
After Bai Lan finished speaking, he took out the Soul-Breaking Spear, then raised his hand and crushed another magic core, continuously injecting the magic power in the magic core into the Soul-Breaking Spear.
"Hmm?" Old Fu was startled. "Aren't you afraid that a demon from outer space with the power of a spirit transformation will suddenly emerge from there?"
"That makes sense. Mr. Fu, please move forward and block it for me."
"..."
As a large amount of pure magic power was injected into the Soul-Breaking Spear, the blood-red lines on the spear gradually appeared. As the vibration intensity increased, it seemed as if some kind of seal had been broken.
“Aa ...
After a burst of roaring, a shadowy figure suddenly emerged from the Soul-Breaking Spear, laughing loudly: "Jiejiejie, Jiejiejiejiejie...$%^@!"
Although I couldn't understand the language of the extraterritorial demon, I could tell from his body language that he was saying something like: I'm out, finally, finally out!!
"Only at the Core Formation Stage?"
