Chapter 329 Breakthrough! Martial Arts Meets God! (Subscribe)

There was another point that Chen Yan paid close attention to.

That is, just before entering the Sutra Repository, the old monk guarding the Sutra Repository said that the monk "Shikong" played by Chen Yan seemed to be planning to master a magical power called "Vajra Indestructible Body".

Speaking of the indestructible Vajra, Chen Yan naturally thought of the indestructible Vajra fruit on his body.

I don’t know if it is a coincidence or for some other reason, but the Buddhist sect in this world happens to have a method called "The Indestructible Body of Vajra".

When he thought of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

Can practicing the "Indestructible Vajra Body" speed up the recovery of the Indestructible Vajra Fruit?
Chen Yan was very curious about what the difference was between this indestructible Vajra and that indestructible Vajra.

However, there was no content about "The Indestructible Body of Vajra" in his memory of "Shikong", and the Sutra Library did not seem to record this physical practice, so Chen Yan could only sigh helplessly.

He memorized the contents of the secret book "See What God Sees" firmly in his mind. When Chen Yan came out, the old monk who was suspected to be a martial arts expert at the Yang God level had disappeared again.

I don't know if he is hiding in some corner and slacking off, or if he is observing Chen Yan secretly.

Anyway, if a Yang Shen-level warrior sincerely wanted to hide, Chen Yan, who was only at the first level of Yin Shen, would definitely not be able to find him.

But Chen Yan didn't care. His main goal was to break through the martial arts and become a god.

As for the rest, it was not something Chen Yan cared about.

When I returned to the meditation room again, it was already completely dark.

Outside the window, the moonlight is clear and quietly pouring down on the earth, like a thin layer of silver gauze, gently covering every inch of space.

The moonlight is bright and clear, without any dust, so pure that it seems to be able to cleanse people's minds of distracting thoughts. The night sky is like washed dark blue silk, and the moon is the most dazzling pearl, emitting a soft yet solemn light.

The swaying shadows of the trees appear even more tranquil under the watery moonlight, and every leaf seems to be whispering.

Looking at the charming night scene, Chen Yan couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Is this world just an illusion created by that relic? And how can you say that this is a real world?

Chen Yan didn't know.

Chen Yan sighed slightly. No matter whether this world was real or fake, the mysterious martial arts book he had in his hands was genuine after all.

At least there is no fraud in the content.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan stopped letting his mind wander and focused his attention on the description in the book "See What God Sees".

For the entire night, Chen Yan's mind was focused on comprehending the secret of martial arts and seeing the gods.

With Chen Yan's current martial arts background, coupled with the book written by Bodhidharma himself about the secrets of martial arts and seeing the gods, it was no longer difficult for Chen Yan to break through the martial arts and see the gods.

"call!"

In the Zen room, Chen Yan sat cross-legged, the dim light of the lamp flickering and almost extinguished by his breathing.

call!
suck!
Amid the long breaths, a light golden light overflowed. This was caused by the effect of the Vajra Indestructible Fruit on the body. Wisps of energetic energy moved around the body, like little snakes swimming around.

At this time, Chen Yan's mind was completely immersed in his own sea of ​​soul.

The so-called seeing God means seeing the God in oneself!
The god of one's own body is none other than one's own soul!

Of course, seeing God here does not just mean seeing one's own soul.

Instead, it requires the soul to undergo a transformation towards a more mysterious and unknown direction.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, a starlight as bright as the stars shines brightly.

Faintly, this star-like shadow can vaguely reveal Chen Yan's appearance.

This is Chen Yan’s Yin God.

It is also Chen Yan’s soul.

When the spirit is refined and returns to emptiness, the soul of an ordinary person is just a shadow without any ability.

However, the soul of a cultivator who is practicing Spirit Refining and Returning to the Void is a Yin God that can display all kinds of abilities.

When it becomes Yang Shen, it can break free from the shackles of the original body and exert power similar to that of Dharmakāya.

Of course, all these are still far away from Chen Yan. Chen Yan’s top priority now is to break through his martial arts skills to the point of becoming a god.

Chen Yanyao took a deep breath and mobilized the power of his soul to rush towards the Yin God.

"boom--"

In a trance, he seemed to hear a loud bang, and the extremely condensed spiritual power hit the Yin God. In an instant, Chen Yan's Yin God burst into a dazzling aurora.

All of a sudden.

Chen Yan only felt that there was a glow deep in his mind, and the magic power and even the true energy in his dantian were running wildly along his meridians, piercing his veins and causing him to feel severe pain. His spine and bone marrow were itching, as if they were about to be torn apart.

But this stinging pain is nothing compared to the excruciating pain caused by the explosion of the Yin Spirit in the brain.

The moment the Yin God was impacted, a sharp pain went straight into the top of the head, as if it was going to tear Chen Yan's Yin God apart, causing him heart-wrenching pain.

Chen Yan almost lost all his efforts, but fortunately, when he broke through the Yin Shen realm, he was already accustomed to the pain of soul tearing apart, so he did not fail at the critical moment.

Otherwise, ordinary people might not be able to bear it.

And I don't know whether it is a coincidence or the same end, but as martial arts and Taoism reach the later stages, the directions they practice begin to converge.

Just like now.

The Yin Shen realm of Taoism is to refine the soul into the Yin Shen with the power of the Earthly Evil Yin Veins.

And what about seeing God in martial arts?
It is to use the power of the soul to impact the soul and achieve the effect of "seeing God".

As for what exactly this seeing God is.

Bodhidharma did not give a detailed description in the secret book of seeing what God sees, but he said that the God that each person sees in martial arts is different.

But the approach is pretty much the same.

But this process is really too painful.

The pain was so severe that Chen Yan even felt that if he was not careful his soul might be shattered.

How serious the consequences of a broken soul are is beyond words.

Fortunately, Chen Yan's soul has reached the level of Yin God. It is much tougher and stronger than the soul of an ordinary martial arts master, so it is not so easy to break.

Of course.

Where there is gain there is loss.

In other words, if Chen Yan wants to break through to the level of martial arts god, the difficulty will be greater than that of an ordinary martial artist with a golden elixir.

In fact, what Chen Yan didn't know was that the pain encountered when impacting the soul and spirit when breaking through the martial arts to see the gods has a special name in martial arts, called "soul and spirit suffering", which means that this kind of pain surpasses all pain and is comparable to suffering. It is one of the greatest tribulations in practice.

Soon, with the continuous flushing of spiritual power.

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst out from between Chen Yan's eyebrows, flashing like stars.

This golden light is extremely abrupt, just like the sun in the night sky, attracting a lot of attention.

At the same time, what caught Chen Yan's special attention was that the aura emitted by this golden light was completely different from that of the Yin God.

If it is said that due to the long-term tempering of the Yin God with the power of the Earthly Evil Yin Vein, the Yin God is inevitably contaminated by the power of the Earthly Evil Yin Vein, this is also the main reason why the Yin God is called the Yin God.

At this moment, the golden light between Chen Yan's Yin Shen's eyebrows actually emitted a force that was completely different from that of the Yin Shen and was extremely strong and masculine!
So...is this Chen Yan's vision of God?
Chen Yan was in a trance for a while.

You must know that if the Yin God appears, the power of the Yang God.

This is a sign of breaking through the Yang Shen realm.

But Chen Yan didn't expect that he was only in the first stage of Yin Shen cultivation, but because of the breakthrough in martial arts, he began the transformation from Yin to Yang ahead of time!
This is naturally an excellent situation.

This means that as long as Chen Yan has enough magic power, when he reaches the ninth level of Yin God Refinement in the future, he will not even need any external force to complete the transformation into Yang God naturally!
"Finally it's done." Chen Yan opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.

suddenly!

He seemed to be aware of something and looked to his side, his eyes burning like torches.

"Um?!"

There was nothing in sight, but...

He looked around the room but saw nothing. However, Chen Yan felt a chill on his back. He reacted quickly and stood up immediately, clasping his hands together and bowing:
"Amitabha."

call!
As the Buddha's name was chanted, a slight air current rose in front of the bed, and a pair of dry hands slowly appeared, with both hands clasped together, also chanting the Buddha's name softly:

"Amitabha."

"This is!"

Chen Yan's pupils shrank and huge waves surged in his heart.

Under his gaze, not far in front of him, a thin and plain-looking old monk slowly appeared in a slow but not abrupt manner.

The person is in front, but the eyes cannot see, the ears cannot hear, and the ears cannot detect!
In an instant, Chen Yan felt a sense of alarm in his heart. Ever since his cultivation broke through to the Yin God level, his five senses had greatly increased. Now that his martial arts had broken through to the God level, Chen Yan had gained another sense. Now that he had all six senses, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Someone walked right under my nose, but I couldn't even see it!

"Dharma!"

Seeing the gray-robed old monk in front of him, Chen Yan almost jumped up, and used all his strength to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

Bodhidharma!

Chen Yan clenched his five fingers together and broke out in a cold sweat. The state of mind of the old monk in front of him was as unfathomable as the ocean. Even though he had no ill intentions at all, it made him tense and unable to relax.

Yang Shen?

Or above Yangshen? !
Chen Yan didn't know.

He only knew that the man in front of him was just an old monk with an unremarkable appearance in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Chen Yan's eyes, he was a raging volcanic lava!

But Bodhidharma was very short, skinny, with wrinkles all over his face and small eyes. But his eyes were very clear, like a newborn baby's.

He clasped his hands together, a hint of curiosity and realization flashed in his eyes, and then he calmed down.

"Shikong, have you made a breakthrough?"

"Exactly."

Chen Yan's heart tightened.

Chen Yan didn't know whether the person in front of him was real or fake, but the extremely strong feeling of oppression he felt at the moment made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

What made Chen Yan even more upset was that he always felt that the old monk seemed to have seen something.

"It'll be great if you break through."

The old monk nodded.

"It's because you taught me well, teacher."

Chen Yan lowered his head slightly, wondering in his heart what the old monk's purpose was.

"You don't usually say that. You always say that you have a good talent. It has nothing to do with what I taught you."

The old monk looked at Chen Yan meaningfully, with a half-smile on his face.

Chen Yan's temples bulged violently, but his expression remained unchanged as he spoke:

"All my words are empty words on normal days. What I said today comes from my heart."

The old monk looked at Chen Yan with a smile and nodded:

"I believe you."

Do you believe me?
You don't believe me at all!

Chen Yan always felt that Master Bodhidharma had seen through his background, but deliberately did not break the window paper.

Since Bodhidharma did not expose the truth, Chen Yan had no choice but to continue playing the role of "Master Shikong".

Afterwards, the old monk did not seem to dwell on this question any further, but suddenly asked:

"Shikong, do you still remember the Vajra Indestructible Body and Mind Method that I taught you?"

I remember the hammer!

Chen Yan complained in his heart, but bowed his head respectfully:

"Disciple remembers."

The old monk didn't care about Chen Yan's words at all, and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter if you remember it. As the saying goes, reviewing the past will help you learn new things. I'll tell you again."

Chen Yan's heart moved, and he seemed to understand that the old monk in front of him seemed to be explaining it specifically to him.

Regardless of whether the Bodhidharma in front of him is real or fake, Chen Yan’s martial arts skills have been able to reach this point today because of the old man in front of him who has cleared the way and paved the way ahead.

Therefore, Chen Yan sincerely bowed his head and said:

"Yes! Disciple thanks the teacher!"

Bodhidharma nodded with satisfaction, then his face became serious and he said:

"The so-called Vajra Indestructible Body is the Tathagata's body, which is the Dharmakaya, the Vajra body, the indestructible body, the solid body, the most victorious body in the three realms..."

"To sum up, what is passed down is just the sixteen words 'indestructible, immune to all poisons, indestructible, extremely strong and masculine'. How far one can cultivate it depends on one's own heart."

In one’s own heart?

Chen Yan's heart was slightly moved as he chewed over the old monk's words. Just as he said, this Vajra Indestructible Body was not a martial art in the ordinary sense.

"The strongest person in Buddhism is the Vajra. The essence of this martial art does not lie in Qi, in Gang, or in the physical body, but in the word 'heart'."

The old monk said slowly:

“If one does not understand one’s own mind, does not understand the Vajra Heart, then even if one’s inner breath is deep and one’s true energy is dense, if one’s mind does not reach the state of ‘the immovable eighth ground’, it can still be called ‘indestructible’.”

"The heart of diamond, the immovable eighth level..."

Chen Yan murmured.

In fact, he knew a lot about the principles of cultivation. After all, he had three thousand Taoist scriptures on him, and Chen Yan often read them when he had nothing to do. He was no longer the novice in cultivation he used to be.

However, knowing is easier said than done.

Completely eliminate the afflictions, the obstructions to knowledge, and all forms of attachment, and remain unmoved by any attempt made upon you. This is the immovable ground, the eighth ground, and this is the mind of a bodhisattva.

Chen Yan understood this principle, but there was a huge gap between understanding and doing.

As the saying goes, one will get angry when seeing injustice, will be happy when seeing a woman he likes, will have murderous intent when relatives or friends are hurt, and may even become depressed and unable to recover when encountering a major change.

This is not something that can be accomplished by just understanding.

"Your mind is acceptable, your talent is not bad, and your understanding is also better than that of ordinary people. You can't say you have a Buddha's heart, but you do have some of the image of a furious Vajra."

The old monk commented, and before the latter could think deeply, he said:
"Let me see your understanding."
