I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 581 The Bodhi Tree Generates Buddha Nature

Chapter 581 The Bodhi Tree Generates Buddha Nature

"You have cultivated more than one True Meaning to the level of Great Perfection, haven't you?"

Chu Feng questioned him in a relaxed manner.

"Master truly has a discerning eye."

Shi Xuan replied: "This disciple has reached Great Perfection in both the Destiny True Meaning and the Great Desolate Sword Intent."

Gently waving the feather fan in his hand, Chu Feng remarked: "This is precisely why you have struggled to grasp the Great Dao Truth; you are uncertain of which path to tread next.

As the proverb goes: though there are three thousand Daos, they all eventually converge at the same end.

Possessing two True Meanings at Great Perfection proves your remarkable talent, yet it also exposes a flaw. Your heart lacks a singular, firm belief; by striving to grasp both, you risk ending up with neither."

"Does Master suggest that I must choose only one to comprehend?"

Shi Xuan inquired, his expression filled with curiosity.

"That is a lesser method."

Chu Feng rose to his feet and clarified: "Do you recall when you first arrived at Miaomiao Mountain, seeing several fellow disciples practicing a technique called Tai Chi?"

"The disciple remembers it. That Tai Chi, whether applied to fist or sword techniques, was incredibly refined. I had considered learning it back then, but since Master later bestowed the Nine Secrets upon me, I did not pursue it."

Shi Xuan wondered why his Master was bringing up this technique now, sensing it must possess an extraordinary quality. He then asked: "Does Master mean this technique can assist me in sensing two Great Dao Truths at once?"

"No."

Chu Feng explained: "This technique does more than just help a Cultivator sense the Heavenly Dao and nature; it allows two separate True Meanings to fuse into one."

Hiss...

Shi Xuan instinctively drew a sharp breath upon hearing those words.

"Master is truly the preeminent Great Saint of this era to be able to conceive such a technique."

Chu Feng chuckled and said: "You rascal, enough with the flattery. This technique was not my own creation. In my youth, I witnessed an old Daoist performing it. By observing him, I managed to gain some insights."

Shi Xuan did not press for the identity of the old Daoist and said with deep respect: "I beg Master to transmit this method to your disciple."

"Very well."

Chu Feng spoke as he casually pressed a finger against Shi Xuan's forehead. A beam of light surged into Shi Xuan's mind.

In an instant, the movements of the Tai Chi fist techniques manifested within Shi Xuan's sea of consciousness.

Chu Feng added: "You have spent these years in the Land of Slaughter and have shed too much blood. Come and listen to my preaching beneath the Bodhi Tree every day; you may find it fruitful."

"Yes."

Shi Xuan stood, bowed deeply to Chu Feng, and departed from the Head's courtyard.

...

Time flows unnoticed in the mountains.

Three years vanished in the blink of an eye. Upon Miaomiao Mountain, the two young girls, Chen Qianqian and Bai Qian, successfully reached the Path Union Realm.

The other disciples also saw their Cultivation ascend to higher stages.

One afternoon, Chu Feng was reciting sutras under the Bodhi Tree as was his custom. Xu Caichen, Chu Caiyi, Shi Xuan, and the others were seated around him, silently absorbing the rhythm of his chanting.

While everyone was lost in the sound, the Bodhi Tree suddenly released a beam of Buddha light that pierced the heavens.

Starting as a mere spark, the Buddha light expanded until it reached ten thousand zhang. It first enveloped the peak of Miaomiao Mountain before spreading to cover the entire mountain range.

In a flash, all of Miaomiao Mountain was bathed in a radiant, golden Buddha light.

At that moment, every Cultivator on the mountain experienced a profound sense of peace and mental clarity.

Numerous Cultivators even slipped into a deep state of meditation.

This phenomenon on Miaomiao Mountain naturally drew the gaze of countless observers.

"Nineteen zhang of Buddha light... has a Buddha Dao Great Saint emerged from the Miscellaneous Dao Courtyard?"

An Elder cried out in shock at the sight.

The colleague beside him remarked: "I never heard of any Buddhist practitioners residing on Miaomiao Mountain."

Someone else suggested: "Why don't we go and see for ourselves? Besides, we won't be interfering with the cultivation of the Miaomiao Mountain disciples."

"A fine idea, let us go together!"

"Let's go!"

The Wendao Academy was a single entity, after all. Furthermore, given Chu Head's temperament, he wouldn't prevent others from visiting Miaomiao Mountain to share in such a fortuitous opportunity.

Within moments, several Elders had arrived at Miaomiao Mountain.

Eventually, even the Dean arrived in person. Everyone stared at the Bodhi Tree radiating Buddha light, their faces etched with disbelief.

The Dean whispered: "That boy actually managed to nurture a Buddha Tree. If the monks from the Buddhist Sect saw this, they would be too embarrassed to show their faces!"

Chu Feng continued chanting with his eyes shut, oblivious to the crowd gathering around him.

The chime of a system notification rang in his mind: [The Bodhi Tree personally cultivated by the Host has comprehended the Buddha Dao Great Dao Truth and evolved into a Buddha Tree. Reward: Great Dao Truth +10!]

Excellent!

Chu Feng cheered internally. His efforts of chanting sutras daily for all these years had paid off. This Bodhi Tree had practically drained every Buddhist scripture he remembered from his past life, but it had finally transformed into a Buddha Tree.

Opening his eyes, he saw the area swarming with people, with the Dean looking at him with a grin.

Chu Feng rose immediately and cupped his hands: "I was unaware of your arrival, Sir; please forgive my lack of a proper welcome."

"Enough with the formalities. You always manage to surprise me, kid."

The Dean patted Chu Feng on the shoulder and asked: "How much longer until you become a Saint?"

Chu Feng replied: "I will certainly become a Saint within a year."

"That fast?"

The Dean had assumed Chu Feng would require another decade or so. He hadn't expected the boy to reach Sainthood in just one year.

"Sir, a man should never admit to being fast."

Chu Feng spoke with a perfectly straight face.

Pa!

The Dean slapped Chu Feng's shoulder: "You're still playing jokes on me. Don't I know your character? Since you'll be a Saint within the year, you shall lead the team for the upcoming Ten Saints Grand Competition. Once it concludes, you can choose to take my position or venture to other worlds to establish a branch for our Wendao Academy."

"The Ten Saints Grand Competition?"

Upon hearing the name, Chu Feng recalled the duel agreement he had made with Shi Hao over ten years ago when he took Shi Xuan to the Northern Abyss.

"Indeed," the Dean said. "The Ten Saints Grand Competition is the premier event of our Xuantian Continent, held once a century. Participants are the elite younger generation from the Ten Great Holy Lands.

The results of this competition dictate the influence each Holy Land wields across other continents."

"I understand," Chu Feng said. "But if we go to other continents, wouldn't we be considered Extraterrestrial Demons?"

"No," the Dean clarified. "The Three Thousand Great Worlds share a common origin. Extraterrestrial Demons are twisted entities that emerge from spatial rifts. Their aim is to seize the origin of the Three Thousand Great Worlds and destroy the reality we inhabit.

Well, you will learn the details of these matters once you ascend to the Nine Heavens. Speaking too much of it now might only destabilize your Dao Heart."

Chu Feng took the hint and stopped asking. He cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for the explanation, Sir. I will personally lead the team to the Ten Saints Grand Competition to face the Saints of the other Holy Lands."
