"Disciple pays respect to Master."
Atop the Sword Pavilion, Zhong Lin respectfully saluted.
Xi Xuan slowly opened his eyes, with a gaze that effortlessly saw through Zhong Lin’s cultivation, he smiled and said, "You’ve perfected the Life and Death Realm, not bad, not bad."
"It’s all thanks to Master’s teachings; disciple does not dare to take credit."
Xi Xuan playfully chided, then continued, "To break through to the Nirvana Realm depends on opportunity, no need to ask me."
"Master, is there no other way? Recently, I’ve been trying to find an opportunity for breakthrough, but I have no clue at all." Zhong Lin asked with a hint of urgency.
"The cultivation of the Nirvana Realm lies in the state of mind; one must comprehend the meaning of Nirvana. As said, Nirvana means not being born is ’Nir’, not perishing is ’vana’, which is being neither born nor dying. This realm, in the Buddha Domain, martial artists call it Arhat."
"If Life and Death Realm martial artists can utilize the Power of Life and Power of Death, making their own Spiritual Origin endless like the ocean, regenerating severed limbs, and are considered to have an Undying Body, where their every move carries the aura of death, leaving all things non-existent, then the Nirvana Realm is about merging life and death within to form Nirvana Power, which can move mountains and fill seas, destroy heaven and earth, and even see through life and death, reversing Qian Kun."
"This realm is not about comprehension, but about killing; experiencing life and death in combat, and within life and death achieving Nirvana, truly understanding life and death, and experiencing Nirvana Rebirth."
"Therefore, this realm is also a shortcut for ordinary geniuses to catch up with prodigies; as long as you have enough courage to kill, to face life and death, seeking life from death, then you have a chance to catch up with prodigies in the shortest time and prove your path to becoming a Sealing King."
Xi Xuan’s voice was ethereal yet filled with a strong will of determination.
"Disciple, the Martial Arts Tournament is approaching; this is where your opportunity lies. Go! Fight, experience life and death, achieve Nirvana within life and death, and rebirth within Nirvana. A great calamity is approaching, and the stronger your cultivation, the more assured you’ll be in overcoming this disaster."
Zhong Lin also stood up, cupped his hands, and declared proudly, "Rest assured, Master, I will not let you down. In this Martial Arts Tournament, I will definitely make a name for myself in the Eastern Desolate, and within a hundred years, I will become a Sealing King."
"Hahaha, good! This is indeed my disciple of the Thunder Sword King." Xi Xuan laughed heartily.
"Master, there is one more thing I wish to request."
"I wish to learn the ’Prison Control Heart Sutra’."
Xi Xuan flicked his right hand, and with a speed faster than lightning, a ray of light entered Zhong Lin’s mind.
Skills: Innate Thunder Method (Full Level), Undying Scripture (Full Level), Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill·Five Elements Incarnation (Full Level)·Ten Directions Gang Evil (Full Level), Taiwei Spiritual Mind Heavenly Earth Cave Heavenly Scripture (Full Level)...
Techniques: Prison Control Heart Sutra (Beginner), Heavenly Control Scripture (Full Level), Sword Domain: Unification Sword Skill (Beginner), Heart Space Reflecting God (Full Level), Shape and Spirit Boxing Skill (Full Level), Azure Dragon Eight Forms (Full Level)...
Miscellaneous: Alchemy: Eighth Grade Elixir (Full Level)...
Zhong Lin inherently had the foundation of the ’Innate Thunder Method,’ making it easy to grasp the ’Prison Control Heart Sutra,’ which directly formed and condensed on the system panel.
Looking at the newly condensed skill on the system panel, Zhong Lin took a deep breath and once again respectfully saluted Xi Xuan.
There are rules in the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land: the Eight Great Martial Arts can only be chosen by those who have made great contributions; even a Saint Heir can only select one, and only a Sealing King strong person can train in all of them.
However, Zhong Lin has already mastered three of the Eight Great Martial Arts, which is a severe violation of the rules. If known by the Supreme Leader, there would be severe punishment, especially considering Xi Xuan himself is in charge of sect penalties. Knowing the law and breaking it is an additional offense.
Yet now, teaching the ’Prison Control Heart Sutra’ regardless, how could Zhong Lin not be moved?
His purpose in asking for the ’Prison Control Heart Sutra’ was just to improve the ’Innate Thunder Method’ to gain stronger combat power.
Zhong Lin gave a deep salute, transformed into a stream of light, and returned to East Peak.
Xi Xuan also slowly stood up and saluted towards the direction of Meteor Sword Peak.
"Supreme Leader, rest assured. I know the rules; in a few days, I will go to the Northern Plain and sit there for a hundred years. I won’t make it difficult for you."
A faint, ethereal figure slightly nodded and softly spoke in the void.
The extreme northern land of Qingyuan World, also the calculated intersection of Qingyuan World and the Blood Flower Realm. Numerous strong individuals have already gone to the Northern Plain to guard against the opening of the passage between the two realms at any time.
Zhong Lin, who has already returned to East Peak, naturally doesn’t know what occurred after he left. Currently, he is fully focused on the ’Prison Control Heart Sutra.’
"System, allocate points for me."
With Zhong Lin’s command, countless skill points surged along with a significant influx of information impacting his knowledge sea.
Divine light flickered in Zhong Lin’s eyes as a realization emerged in his heart.
"So it is. The so-called Prison Control Heart Sutra transforms the palm into the world, observing the heavens through the palm, manifesting the form of five mountains in the palm—Thunder Prison, Wind Prison, Water Prison, Fire Prison, Earth Prison. It’s not the Thunder Secret Technique I previously thought. The reason Master exhibited thunder was that he only cultivated Thunder Prison, or rather, only focused on Thunder Prison. The complete secret technique possesses five attributes."
"Once these five mountains are successfully forged, they immediately gain immense power, capable of disrupting the earth fire, thunder, water, and wind within a certain range, preventing opponents from drawing Primordial Qi from the outside, while also using the earth fire, thunder, water, and wind to attack the opponent."
"Moreover, once the five prison peaks are successfully forged, they can condense an ancient divine mountain’s shadow, utilizing the power of heavenly rules to transform the virtual into the real, forcibly crushing the opponent with a mountain."
"It’s rather similar to the domain of Sealing King strong people; isn’t it the ’Five Fingers Mountain’?"
Zhong Lin was extremely surprised at this moment; ’Prison Control Heart Sutra’ is very similar to the Five Fingers Mountain of the Buddha from his previous life’s Journey to the West. However, the Buddha’s Five Fingers Mountain embodied the Five Elements Power, containing the concept of space and connecting with the heavenly five elements, which even the mighty Sun Wukong couldn’t escape.
"As expected of one of the Eight Great Martial Arts in Heavenly Sword Sacred Land, each indeed brims with incredible might. Although ’Prison Control Heart Sutra’ isn’t as exaggerated as the Buddha’s Five Fingers Mountain, it also encompasses the Martial Arts Truth, containing the power of domain. If one can master all five prison peaks, it could even lower the threshold to break through to Sealing King strong people." Zhong Lin thought inwardly.
Suddenly, Zhong Lin’s right-hand palm struck the void, issuing a "splashing" sound. The secret chamber was illuminated with a captivating blue light, casting a watery flow of visions onto the walls.
The next moment, a liquid hand the size of a small mountain filled the secret chamber entirely, and in this water flow, thunder flickered; it was the mutual generation of thunder and water, increasingly domineering.
Zhong Lin felt the oppressive force emanating from the palm, sensing that with a mere gentle release, a mountain top could be forced into the ground.
