Chapter 234: The Seventh Sense Manas, Tathagatagarbha Sutra
"The first step in practicing Tiangui is to open up super senses. Normally speaking, the human body has five senses: vision, smell, hearing, touch and taste." In the dark hall, Qin Shunying looked up at Su Heng and spoke slowly.

"That's right." Su Heng nodded, motioning her to continue.

"But in some high-level exercises, one can also tap into the human body's sixth sense, which is the so-called intention." Qin Shunying smiled, stretched out his hand and gently tapped his temple, and continued, "The so-called intention is thinking."

"Once the sixth sense is developed, the speed of thinking increases. In the same amount of time, more information can be processed, which naturally gives you an advantage in battle."

The five senses of the human body are equivalent to signal collectors, while the sixth sense is equivalent to the central processor. Substituting some basic knowledge from his previous life, Su Heng immediately understood what Qin Shunying said, "So, the skill you are talking about is a special method that can train the sixth sense."

"Although the methods that can train the sixth sense are rare, you can still find some among the immortal sects and major families." Qin Shunying shook his head slightly and said seriously, "The method I'm talking about can train the seventh sense based on the sixth sense."

"Seventh sense..." Su Heng was stunned, with a look of surprise on his face, "What is that?"

"The seventh sense is the legendary manas." Qin Shunying said softly, "In Buddhist scriptures, manas is regarded as the root of consciousness. When you refine your perception to this level, you can turn to the state of dependence and contemplate the non-self, thus eliminating fallacies."

“To put it simply, it’s the first of the first.”

"Before danger occurs, you can detect it and take countermeasures in advance. You will never be ambushed and will never fall into a trap."

Qin Shunying smiled and said, "Of course, these are just some descriptions recorded in the book. As for the details, I have never seen a warrior who has cultivated manas, so naturally I don't know whether it is true or not."

"This sounds like a secret method from Buddhism."

"Yes." Qin Shunying nodded: "This technique is called the Tathagata Storehouse Sutra, and it is the unique skill of the Fawang Temple."

"Fa Wang Temple..." It has been a while since they fought against Skull Field, but Su Heng has never heard of this force.

"Is it some hidden temple?" Su Heng asked in confusion.

“That’s not the case.” Qin Shunying shook his head and replied, “The Dharma King Temple was once a Buddhist and Taoist heritage that could rival top forces like the Wuxiang Zunfa Temple and the Baifo Temple, but in an incident thousands of years ago, the entire Dharma King Temple disappeared.”

"After thousands of years, the former Buddhist holy land reappeared on the battlefield of Skull Plain, but it has turned into an extremely dangerous den of demons."

"I heard that the setbacks encountered by the Immortal Sect and the four major families on the Skull Plain were also related to this incident?" Su Heng touched his chin with an interested expression on his face. His eyes fell on Qin Shunying's fair and delicate cheeks, and he suddenly laughed softly.

Qin Shunying was a little embarrassed for a moment, but still nodded, "It is indeed related to the Fawang Temple."

"It sounds dangerous, but if there's something I need, this place is worth a visit." The so-called risk is only for the weak. After fusing the Golden Crow Heart and loading the fusion furnace, Su Heng now really feels that the world is so big that no one else can do it but him.

Apart from the emperor of the empire, the devil, and the legendary beast that suppressed the world... there were not many who could pose a threat to him.

Moreover, even if it really happens.

It is hard to say who will win or lose, but Su Heng will definitely not be afraid before the battle.

"I don't care about the risks. I want to get what I want from it." Su Heng thought for a moment and stood up from his throne. His broad shoulders cast a shadow, which swayed in the firelight and reflected on Qin Shunying's cheek.

"Thank you." Su Heng said to Qin Shunying, "The information you brought is very valuable. I will go to Skull Plain in person."

The heroic senior sister reminded, "In its prime, the Dharma King Temple was no weaker than any other immortal sect. And to wipe it out overnight, the one who could do this must be a being above the Heavenly Ghost. Although times have changed and years have passed, the mastermind behind the destruction of the Dharma King Temple may not have left."

"That would be even better." Su Heng's smile widened, "One action, two gains."

"..." Qin Shunying was silent at first, then smiled and said, "Then I wish you immediate success and a triumphant return."

"Hmm?" Su Heng heard it.

There was a look of surprise on his face, "Aren't you going with me?"

“No.” Qin Shunying shook his head and smiled helplessly, “My current strength is too far behind yours. Even if we go together, I can’t help you much. Instead, I’ll distract you from taking care of me and you’ll become a burden.”

"But..." Qin Shunying changed the subject and said confidently, "These two spies are not ordinary people. I'm afraid someone will take advantage of your absence to do something bad. Although I can't help much at the Dharma King Temple, I can still play a role here and help you deal with some villains."

"It's rare that you have this thought." Su Heng looked at her steadily with a smile on his face.

Actually.

Su Heng was not too worried about the safety of Baihua County.

On the one hand, the Dragon Guards have already had quite good combat power, enough to deal with ordinary troubles. On the other hand, the Golden Crow is about to hatch. If something really happens during the time when Su Heng is away...

So, those villains.

What you have to face is a real divine beast and a group of angry muscular men.

But what Qin Shunying said was also true. It would be safer to have one more person here. In the Jiang-E region, Qin Shunying's strength was already quite strong. Some of the great family elders and sect elders were not as good as her. She had few rivals in the Tiangui Realm and was a well-deserved top-level genius.

"Then can I ask you a favor?" Qin Shunying said with a smile.

"Tell me."

"My master Ling Weizi is at the front line, waiting for you to go to Skull Plain. If anything happens, please help me take care of her." Qin Shunying asked. "No problem." Su Heng nodded and stretched out a hand.

"Then it's a deal." Qin Shunying's smile became even brighter. Her white and slender fingers tightly grasped Su Heng's two thick knuckles, feeling the hard touch and hot temperature.

The two were instantly separated.

Su Heng waved his hand and took a step forward.

The copper-and-iron door slowly opened, his cloak fluttered, and his burly figure disappeared in the light in the blink of an eye.

……

……

……

At the same time Su Heng went to Skull Plain.

In Qimu Prefecture, which is thousands of miles away from Jiang and Hubei, General Yuan Hong was not in a good mood in a secluded courtyard with beautiful scenery.

He was frowning at the moment, looking down at several secret letters that his subordinates had recently sent him.

After reading all the contents of the letter, Yuan Hong sighed.

"Sir, this is all that has happened in Jiang-E recently. I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic." Yuan Hong bowed slightly with a respectful look on his face and spoke calmly. Hearing his voice, a slender figure standing in front of the window turned around.

The man looked to be about forty years old, with a fair face and no beard.

He was dressed in a white robe and a green scarf on his head. His left hand was behind his back and in his right hand he held a light green teacup with smoke rising from it.

This man's name was Jian Chuan, and he was a captain of the Yiluansi.

The Yiluansi was directly under the imperial power and had seven official ranks. Apart from the two ranks of general and commander-in-chief, the next rank was commander.

In name, General Yuan Hong and Yiluansi Commander Jian Chuan were of equal rank.

But actually.

Whether it was his personal cultivation and combat power, or the resources and intelligence he could mobilize, Jian Chuan, the commander of the Yiluansi, was much stronger than Yuan Hong.

Yuan Hong was flexible and didn't care about these false reputations, so he would take the initiative to put himself in a lower position when facing Jian Chuan. The two had cooperated happily so far and had accomplished a lot. But now they encountered a big trouble, and the trouble was the content of these secret letters.

"The ancients said that one should not show his joy when a mountain collapses in front of him. Although we cannot cultivate such self-control, we should not panic when encountering things." Jian Chuan took the letter from Yuan Hong and smiled, "Only in this way can we avoid mistakes in the chaos and make the best response."

"Your Excellency is right!" Yuan Hong lowered his head, looking like he was willing to learn humbly.

Jian Chuan drank the tea in his hand, then frowned slightly and quickly read the contents of the secret letter.

"Interesting..." His brows relaxed and he smiled softly, "It's really interesting."

"A small commandery in Baihua County can actually achieve this. The world is so big and the creation is so magical. It is true that evildoers emerge in troubled times and talented people abound." Jian Chuan lightly pinched the letter with two fingers, and the letter was shattered by the force without even being ignited, turning into ashes and dissipating in the bright sunlight.

The level of subtle use of this strength alone is beyond the reach of Yuan Hong.

"He is showing such ambition now, and more importantly, he also has the ability to do so." Yuan Hong frowned slightly, with a worried expression, and said gloomily, "I am a little worried..."

"You are worried that he will become the second King Qingyang." Jian Chuan said gently.

His eyes were clear, without any emotion, so calm that it made people feel uneasy. Yuan Hong lowered his head even lower and said, "Not bad."

King Qingyang, the former emperor of the empire.

But now a rebellion has broken out, resulting in the fall of several states and the suffering of the people.

If the same thing happened in the Jiang-E area, half of the empire would be in turmoil. Especially in this special period, Emperor Wu of Zhou was seriously injured, so we should take precautions to prevent similar things from happening again.

Although Yuan Hong's strength is average, he is loyal to the empire and has been worrying about this matter a lot during this period.

however……

Jian Chuan just shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, there's no chance of this happening."

Yuan Hong was surprised, but he also knew that Jian Chuan would never do anything without a purpose.

"Sir, do you already have a plan to deal with this?" Yuan Hong was shocked and asked hurriedly.
