What is the purpose of practising Dharma?
This sentence put the abbot in question!
The slightest hint of confusion gradually appeared in the abbot’s eyes.
What was the purpose of practising Buddhism in the first place?
It was to cultivate!
To learn Buddhism was to become a Buddha, to learn Buddhism was to change oneself, to learn Buddhism was to cultivate one’s heart and mind!
And he did do that!
But the latter slowly changed!
At this time, Ye Xuan suddenly said, “Among the Tripitaka Sutra, there is a saying that says, ‘Do not be born, do not create, do not create right and wrong, do not create cause and effect, and do not obsessively pursue them’, Master, have you done that?”
The abbot folded his hands and shook his head.
Ye Xuan added, “Many times, clinging is a prison, a prison that traps one’s self; letting go of it is the same as opening the prison. And the Ancient Temple nowadays, everyone is imprisoned by themselves.”
Saying that, he looked at the abbot and smiled, “Master, with all due respect, you are too obsessed with the house of books, too obsessed with the Taoist scriptures, there is a predecessor who said to me that the Taoist scriptures are indeed capable of allowing one to reach above the recluse one, or even higher, but that is the road that other people have given you. However, others do not give us the road we have no road to go? The feet are on the body, the path is in the heart, why do we need others to give us the path?”
Hearing this, the abbot looked deeply at Ye Xuan as he folded his hands, “Master Ye, I am not as good as you!”
Persistence!
It was only at this moment that he understood why Ye Xuan was able to see nature with spiritual clarity!
It wasn’t a single epiphany!
Ye Xuan giving up the bookstore was a realm in itself. No, it should be said that Ye Xuan himself didn’t place too much importance on the House of Books, much less wanted to rely on it to become strong like the world did.
Not caring, not clinging!
The abbot suddenly said, “Master Ye, why don’t you travel with us to the ancient temple to cultivate! How?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “I will go, but not now, I still have some things to deal with!”
The abbot folded his hands, “Good, we will wait for Eunuch Ye at the ancient temple!”
After saying that, he turned around and left with that Zhi Wu Elder.
A moment later, Zhi Wu also left.
At this time, the ninth floor suddenly said, “Will they give up the Dao Scriptures?”
Ye Xuan laughed, “I don’t know!”
The Ninth Floor said, “This Buddhism Dao is indeed profound, you can study it more, it will be of great benefit to your own cultivation, however, I wouldn’t recommend you to go deeper into this thing, it’s easy to get demonic!”
Ye Xuan nodded his head.
In fact, what he understood about the Buddhist dharma together was only skin-deep, in terms of his understanding of the dharma, he was far inferior to the abbot and the others, however, it was probably because of this that it was easier for him to achieve spiritual clarity and insight.
This was because he had never had much thought at all about the fruits of Buddhist witnessing!
Many times, many things, many people were like sand in your hands, the tighter you squeeze it, the easier it would be to lose it!
Ye Xuan retrieved his thoughts, he walked out of the pawnshop, looking at the sky, Ye Xuan took a deep breath, he joined his fingers and gently guided them, a ray of sword light flew up, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared at the end of that sky.
The sword heart is at ease!
With that epiphany he had just had, his Sword Dao had also improved quite a bit!
It could be said that he was now completely able to fight hard against a Transported One Extreme Realm powerhouse like the Pope, and that was without the aid of the Realm Prison Tower and the power of his bloodline.
After all, he was also a Pseudo-Recluse One now!
However, there was a problem, and that was that his current enemy was no longer just at the Transported One Extreme Realm, but also above the Transported One!
Sumeru Divine Kingdom!
He hadn’t forgotten about this place!
Maku Nian Nian suppressed the Sumeru Divine Kingdom and delayed it for half a year for him. …….
Half a year!
Ye Xuan seemed to have thought of something as he directly turned into a sword light and disappeared.
…
In the following time, the Five Dimensional Universe completely returned to calmness as the Dao Realm did not make any more moves!
Dao Realm.
At this time, the Dao Realm Alliance formed by Jiang Yu was getting bigger and bigger, with seventy powerful people of the Transported One Realm among them!
It had to be said that this lineup was extremely terrifying!
It could be said that the entire Dao Realm’s Transported One Realm powerhouses had basically been gathered together by him!
Of course, one had to remove that Dao village.
Although his strength was getting stronger, Jiang Yu was instead keeping a lower profile!
This was because he had really suffered too many, too many losses before!
Even though he knew that that Dao Scripture was in the hands of the Five Dimensional Heavenly Dao, Jiang Yu didn’t go looking for Maku Nian Nian.
Since the Sumeru Divine Kingdom knew that that Dao Scripture was in the hands of Maku Nian Nian but didn’t go to grab it, this was already enough to prove a lot of things!
Moreover, what made him most fearful was that that Five Dimensional Heavenly Dao had taken away the House of Books and the Pope right under their noses!
How terrifying was this strength?
Thus, he didn’t dare to go to Maku Nian Nian at all!
Moreover, there was no need to go to Maku Nian Nian!
The Sumeru Divine Kingdom had told him this news just to use him as a gun!
He wasn’t in a hurry now, and anyway, in his opinion, there were people who were more anxious than him!
In this game, whoever was in a hurry suffered!
On this day, a woman came to the Immortal Pavilion Hall, and this person was none other than that Dao Village Li Qing who had come once before.
Inside the hall, Jiang Yu looked at Li Qing, “Is there something wrong with the girl?”
Li Qing smiled faintly, “Pavilion Master Jiang should know that that book house is not in the hands of my Dao Village!”
Jiang Yu nodded, “Yes!”
Li Qing looked at Jiang Yu, “Then does Pavilion Master Jiang know who that book house is in the hands of?”
Jiang Yu smiled, “In the hands of the Five Dimensional Heavenly Dao!”
Five Dimensional Heavenly Dao!
Li Qing’s brows furrowed, regarding the Five Dimensional Heavenly Dao, they had actually investigated it, and amongst their investigations, this Five Dimensional Heavenly Dao was very low key, with no presence at all, and as for the strength, they hadn’t investigated it too much!
How strong could a Heavenly Dao be?
But now it seemed that they had underestimated this Five Dimensional Heavenly Dao!
Li Qing looked towards Jiang Yu, “Since Pavilion Master Jiang already knows that the book house is in the hands of this Five Dimensional Heavenly Dao, why haven’t you taken action yet?”
Jiang Yu laughed, “If the Dao Village wants it, just go to the Five Dimensions to find her, as for me, I’m in no hurry!”
Li Qing laughed, “It seems that this Five Dimensional Heavenly Dao is very strong!”
Jiang Yu shook his head, “If the girl has something to say, just say it!”
Li Qing nodded, “Pavilion Master Jiang, my Dao Village wants to join forces with you.”
Jiang Yu was silent.
Li Qing added, “The Five Dimensions have already joined forces, the Sixth Dimension is also secretly helping Ye Xuan, the Ancient Temple is also striving to protect Ye Xuan, and, as far as I know, there are movements on the side of the Sumeru Divine Kingdom. Pavilion Master Jiang, I think we can join forces, what do you think?”
Jiang Yu was silent.
Li Qing added; “Pavilion Master Jiang should understand that it is impossible for either of us to unilaterally eat this Dao Scripture!”
Jiang Yu looked at Li Qing, “An alliance is possible, however, we are only allies.”
The corner of Li Qing’s mouth lifted slightly, “Same as what we thought! Pavilion Master Jiang, if there is any new news from my Dao Village, I will send someone to notify you, Pavilion Master, and if there is any news from Pavilion Master Jiang’s side, please still notify us as well!”
Jiang Yu nodded, “Naturally!”
Li Qing nodded and left.
Jiang Yu glanced at the departing Li Qing and pondered, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
Somewhere in the starry sky, Ye Xuan was travelling with his sword.
And his purpose this time was the family that the Prophet used to be a part of!
The Ye Clan!
He had long wanted to come and take a look at this Ye Clan, it was a place where the Prophet had once stayed.
The Ye Clan was located in a mountain range, under the guidance of his elder sister, Ye Xuan came to the depths of the mountain range, after passing through the layers of dense forests, he saw an old city, which wasn’t big and was very desolate, with remnants of walls and ruins vaguely visible amidst the surrounding mountains.
It was obvious that this place had been ravaged before!
Ye Xuan walked into the city, which was incomparably desolate with countless weeds.
Ye Xuan softly said, “Big sister, is there no one left in the Ye Clan?”
After a moment of silence, Big Sister said, “It should be! That time back then, dozens of powerful people of the recluse realm gathered at the Ye Clan …….In fact, sir has always felt that there was a black hand behind the scenes!”
“A black hand behind the scenes?”
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “What do you mean?”
Eldest sister said, “Back then, after Mister obtained the Dao Scriptures, no outsiders learnt about it, but, for some unknown reason, it was rumoured outside behind that he had obtained the Dao Scriptures …….”
Ye Xuan asked, “Did he say who it was?”
Big sister said, “No! He also just guessed! In fact, now that I think about it, the ones who participated in the siege of the Ye Clan back then were not just strong people from the Dao Realm, there should have been strong people from other worlds as well!”
Ye Xuan asked, “How so?”
Big sister said, “If it was just the Transported One Realm, sir should be able to handle it!”
Ye Xuan was silent.
Big sister added, “That battle ……was tragic!”
Ye Xuan glanced around and said softly, “See!”
After saying that, he walked towards the depths of the city.
Inside the city, there were ruins everywhere, and it was overgrown with weeds, incomparably desolate.
Once upon a time, this was also the most prosperous place in the Dao Realm, because the Ye Family’s ancestor once produced a Ye Lanting, who was the first strongest person in the Dao Realm back then!
At that time, the Ye family was incomparable!
Unfortunately, with the disappearance of Ye Lanting, the Ye family gradually declined, and it was not easy for the Ye family to appear a Ye Qingzhi, but then suffered a terrible disaster ……..
It had to be said that the Ye family was still a bit miserable!
At this time, Ye Xuan suddenly stopped, not far in front of him was a dilapidated hall, which was already covered in weeds, emitting a pungent smell of grass.
The reason why Ye Xuan stopped was because his Realm Prison Tower was reacting!
Ye Xuan took out the Realm Prison Tower, and the Realm Prison Tower gently trembled as if it was responding to something.
Ye Xuan said, “Big sister?”
Big sister said softly, “There might be something inside!”
Ye Xuan nodded his head as he pointed his fingers together and a ray of sword light flew and chopped out, and in an instant, those weeds that wrapped the grand hall directly disappeared.
Ye Xuan walked towards that dilapidated grand hall, at this moment, a voice rang out from Ye Xuan’s head, “Do you really want to go in?”
The voice of the ninth floor!
Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “What?”
The ninth floor said in a deep voice, “Kid, I feel that something is not right!”
Ye Xuan glanced at the large hall, then said, “Did senior feel something?”
The ninth floor said, “It just doesn’t feel right!”
Ye Xuan looked towards that great hall, his divine sense swept towards it, however, he felt nothing.
Ye Xuan thought for a moment, then turned around and left.
Since the ninth floor had already said that it didn’t feel right, then there must be something wrong!
He didn’t want to go and make a fool of himself!
Don’t do it if you can’t!
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him, “Since you’re here! Why don’t you come in and have a seat?”
