Seventh level of Bodhi!

This is no ordinary Bodhi seed, but a Bodhi seed from the thousand-year-old Bodhi tree on the top of Mingguang Mountain in Hengsha Realm.

With Ye Wenshu's current level of cultivation, if she has one more seventh-grade Bodhi seed, she will have the hope of breaking through to the realm of refining emptiness within a hundred years.

But this also means that during this hundred years Ye Wenshu will have no time to pay attention to external affairs, and must concentrate on calming her mind and preparing for breaking through the realm of refining emptiness.

The meaning of Monk Faxian giving this Bodhi seed at this time was very obvious.

The Hengsha Realm does not need much help from Ye Wenshu. After all, the Hengsha Realm is powerful enough to compete with the Shanhe Realm.

Especially after a group of Buddhist disciples in the world of infinite sands practiced the Mahayana Buddhism of the Bodhi Path, they naturally had a great advantage when facing the Hinayana Buddhism of the Vajra Path and the Lapis Lazuli Path.

Originally, the Hengsha Realm had more Taiyi Yuanshen than the Shanhe Realm. In addition to the advantage over the two Buddhist temples in the Shanhe Realm, the Hengsha Realm had a great chance of winning this gamble and taking back the Taoist heritage of the Great Golden Zen Temple and the Great Tianlong Temple for the Buddha Jinjue.

It is enough for Buddhism to have one Da Lingyin Temple. Jinchan Temple and Tianlong Temple can exist, but they must be incorporated into the orthodoxy of Mahayana Buddhism.

In order for the Hengsha Realm to achieve this, it needs to prevent the Panfeng Realm from causing trouble.

Obviously, Faxian and other Buddhist disciples in the Hengsha world also knew that the three realms would inevitably merge in the future. So when facing the three Taoist masters, the best choice for Buddhism was to unite with Shinto.

Therefore, Faxian and his men did not want to use any sinister means against Ye Wenshu. After all, the two families would have to cooperate in the future.

The best idea, naturally, is for both parties to make an alliance in advance, but this matter still needs the decision of the two Taoist masters.

Therefore, Faxian's initial claim that both the world of Ganges and the world of mountains and rivers would not let Ye Wenshu go, and that he hoped to become a Taoist partner with Ye Wenshu and share the great Dao, were all half true and half false.

It would be best if Ye Wenshu is willing to join the Hengsha Realm, but it’s okay if she isn’t willing.

Since this gambling fight is mainly based on the middle and lower six realms, then Ye Wenshu will be eliminated early at the cost of a seventh-grade bodhi seed, allowing her to directly break through to the realm of refining emptiness.

This will also allow the Hengsha Realm to concentrate on having a hearty fight with the Shanhe Realm.

The Bodhi seed is now placed in front of Ye Wenshu. She can either take it and get out early, or not take it and wait to be affected by both sides.

Ye Wenshu was silent.

This is an open conspiracy by the Hengsha Realm, and Ye Wenshu has no idea what other tricks the Hengsha Realm has up its sleeve.

Monk Faxian’s reputation in the world of Ganges is not very dazzling, nor is he very famous, but this does not mean that he is weak.

This monk, who looks short, fat, kind, simple-minded and carefree, is, after all, in the Taiyi Yuanshen realm and practices Mahayana Buddhism.

After Lingding Arhat chose to submit to Jinjue Buddha, he listened to his Mahayana Buddhist teachings nine times and discussed the Dao with him three times. This great Arhat, who had attained the state of upholding the Dao, improved the Dao tradition of Mingguang Temple, and the current Mingguang Temple had two levels of Mahayana Buddhism.

One is called the Vajra Dharma of Fearless Spiritual Concentration, and the other is called the Dharma of Wish-Fulfilling Spiritual Concentration and Joy.

What Monk Faxian practiced was the Ruyi Lingding Joyful Method. This method indulges one's nature while maintaining one's original mind, cultivates the mind but not the mouth, abstains from lust but not sex, indulges in one's desires, and is joyful as one pleases.

Although he seems to be dissolute, he always blesses the Dharma to make his spirit clear and bright, which is the Mahayana Buddhism that directly points to the pure Yang.

Ye Wenshu knew very well that Monk Faxian was not someone to be trifled with, but it was impossible for her to just give in.

We are all Taiyi Yuanshen, who doesn’t have his own persistence and cultivation?
Seeing Ye Wenshu hesitate, Monk Faxian smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry."

"It has been a while since my Hengsha Realm took over Yuanzhou. I, the monk, am planning to hold a Dharma Assembly."

"Fairy, why don't you stay for a few days and take a look at the Dharma Assembly at Zhengjue Temple."

Five days later, in the central region of Yuanzhou, Jiang Sheng arrived here and saw lanterns and decorations everywhere. Every country and town was filled with colorful lanterns and river lanterns, and every household was filled with joy.

Flowers can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Every family burns sandalwood and oil paste, and wisps of strange fragrance spread. Young boys and girls are boldly looking for their loved ones and confessing their feelings to each other.

Concealing his own breath and figure, Jiang Sheng strolled leisurely in the town, listening to people's conversations.

The Bathing Fragrance Festival is the festival that Monk Faxian and Zhengjue Temple have been promoting since they took over Yuanzhou.

The Bathing Fragrance Festival has replaced the previous offerings and worship to the Guardian Heavenly King. People in many small countries and towns in Yuanzhou began to burn incense and worship Buddha, and offer flower oils and fragrant ointments.

Jiang Sheng didn't care much about these, but there was one thing that he had to pay attention to.

"In a few days, Zhengjue Temple will hold a Buddha Bathing Ceremony. I heard that not only will Master Faxian personally preside over the ceremony, but even Xuannv will descend to the world!"

Jiang Sheng silently listened to the discussions of the people around him and discovered that the Buddha Bathing Ceremony at Zhengjue Temple was a grand event and it could almost be said that it had been announced to the whole world. There was no town in Yuanzhou that did not know about it.

Now that Yuanzhou and the demon tribe are fighting for Yanzhou, why did Faxian hold this Buddha Bathing Ceremony with such fanfare?
Isn’t he afraid that the demons will come and cause trouble for him?
Or is he waiting for the demons to come?

Jiang Sheng was thinking, and his figure disappeared again. A wisp of breeze slowly rose into the air and then floated towards the direction of Zhengjue Temple.

Finally, the day of the Buddha Bathing Ceremony arrived.

The Zhengjue Temple, which covers the entire city, also opened its gates at this time, and all that could be heard was the chanting of Sanskrit and the appearance of Buddha's light.

From afar, you can feel the vast power of Buddhism in Zhengjue Temple.

Apart from compassion, Buddhism also has some indulgence in lust, which makes Jiang Sheng alert.

Ye Wenshu had been staying in Zhengjue Temple for more than a few days, and she had witnessed with her own eyes how the monks of Zhengjue Temple prepared for the Buddha Bathing Ceremony.

These great monks in the Jindan and Yuanying realms solemnly brought out statues of Buddha one by one and enshrined them on the altar. Thousands of monks and novices chanted Buddhist teachings around the altar.

All the flower oils and incense ointments collected from all over the country and offered by the people were poured into six large cauldrons and continuously refined. The power of incense and faith was thus infused into the Buddha statues.

I saw the Buddha statues gradually becoming brighter, as if they were coated with a layer of wax, or as if they were blessed with golden bodies.

Monk Faxian was wearing a bright red cassock and a yellow monk's robe underneath. He was short and fat and looked quite kind.

Looking at the Buddha statues on the altar, Monk Faxian nodded with satisfaction.

Thousands of monks and novices made way for Monk Faxian to walk to the top of the altar. His short and fat figure sat cross-legged, which looked solemn and compassionate.

"Please invite Master Faxian to preach the Dharma!"

"Please invite Master Faxian to preach the Dharma!"

Monk Faxian smiled and nodded slowly, his tongue shone like a golden lotus and his voice was like thunder.

"All dharmas follow the mind, all dharmas follow nature, all dharmas arise from causes, and all dharmas cease from causes."

However, just as Monk Faxian began to speak, he was interrupted by a voice from outer space.

"Since all dharmas have ceased, why haven't you entered Nirvana yet?"

A cold and peaceful voice seemed to sound from above the sky and echoed in all directions.

Monk Faxian frowned slightly, and his spiritual awareness immediately spread out to cover all directions: "Who are you that dares to disrupt my Buddha Bathing Ceremony?!" (End of this chapter)
