After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 1035: The Origin of the "Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra" and the Self-Created Cultivation Method "Original Heart Universal Benevolence Sutra"!
"what?"

Juechen's words stunned Chen Yang.

The general outline of the "Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra" that he had been searching for was actually the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill".
For a moment, Chen Yang sat by the fire, his expression blank, completely bewildered.

Juechen said, "The cultivation methods of the Mountain Lord lineage are a complete system. You may not know, but a long time ago, how did the Mountain Lords come about? They were chosen from among the many mountain spirits in Shu..."

"Sichuan is a mountainous region with hundreds or even thousands of mountain spirits. Long ago, these people were all elites carefully selected from various sects in Sichuan, with Emei as their leader. They all cultivated the same 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill.' Among these people, those with outstanding abilities and excellent character, if they could cultivate to the Dao True Realm, could obtain the qualification to cultivate the 'Three One Five Tooth Scripture'..."

"Beyond the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture,' there is another cultivation technique called the 'Nine-Rank Celestial Immortal Technique,' which is the true cultivation technique for mountain lords. To cultivate this technique, one must master the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture' and break through to the Celestial Realm..."

"In the past, the mountain lords of Shu Mountain were all elected from among the many mountain guardians of Shu Mountain. Therefore, even if no one knows that the 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill' is the general outline of the 'Three One Five Tooth Scripture,' it will not affect the inheritance..."

"But starting from some generation of mountain lords, due to war and factional struggles, the selection of the Shu Mountain lords is no longer simply based on recommendations from among the mountain spirits..."

"Later on, the position of Mountain Guardian was no longer a coveted prize among the sect's elites. Instead, it gradually became a place of exile for some marginal disciples. As a result, there were very few outstanding Mountain Guardians. The position of Mountain Lord was mostly chosen directly from the Buddhist and Taoist sects of Emei. Many of these people had not cultivated the 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill,' let alone the 'Three One Five Tooth Scripture'..."

"Therefore, after the original 'Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra' was split in two, generation after generation, no one knew that the 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill' originated from the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra' and was even the foundational outline of the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra'..."

"It's laughable, really. Because the general outline of the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture' couldn't be found, this great martial art was simply lost in the long river of history until later, when the seventeenth Mountain Lord, Chen Tianyang, found a fragment of the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture' in the cave of an evil cultivator..."

"It's a pity that the incomplete version also lacks the general outline, but that evil cultivator was quite capable, actually managing to complete the technique through his extensive knowledge and strong memory. Although it has the air of being a poor addition, the technique is still usable..."

"However, after being completed by evil cultivators, this technique also became an evil cultivation technique. Chen Tianyang, Zen Master Fulong, and later Mountain Lord Zhao Quanzhen all tried to complete the general outline of this technique, but all of them failed in the end. Thus, this technique was once again sealed away..."

……

After listening to Juechen finish recounting what had happened,

Chen Yang's mouth remained open for a long time.

There are so many twists and turns in this story?

So many people spent so much effort trying to complete the general outline of the "Three-One-Five Tooth Classic", but the result was the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill".
It's true what they say: "I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, but he was right there where the lights were dim."

So dramatic!

Even now, Chen Yang still finds it hard to believe.

Is Juechen's source accurate?
"As for how I know the origin of these two cultivation techniques?"

Juechen shook his head and sighed, "My master, Zen Master Wuling, was once the mountain hermit of Mount San'e in Shushan. His cultivation was not outstanding, and he lived to be nearly two hundred years old. He unexpectedly obtained the 'Three One Five Tooth Scripture' and successfully broke through to the Dao True Realm. From then on, he was unimpeded and almost attained the Dao Heavenly Human Realm at over two hundred and fifty years old..."

"Unfortunately, just as he was about to break through to the Celestial Realm, he encountered the catastrophe four hundred years ago, making a breakthrough impossible. But thankfully, he survived. The relationship between the 'Three-One-Five Tooth Scripture' and the 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Skill' comes from his speculation, but it's likely to be true..."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate the 'Three One Five Tooth Scripture' to that level without a general outline."

……

The sky gradually brightened.

Chen Yang sighed inwardly. He had spent so much effort searching for the outline of the "315 Tooth Classic" that he had been longing for, only to find that it had already been in his hands all along.

Just thinking about it makes me both laugh and cry.

Sometimes, things in this world are just that wonderful.

If I hadn't met the monk Juechen and heard him talk about the Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra, I would never have known these secrets.

He might end up like Chen Tianyang and the others, never knowing where to find the general outline of this martial art before he dies.

This is truly a case of someone carrying a phone while searching for it; those involved are genuinely confused.

"Master, you have been a great help to me."

Chen Yang repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Come to think of it, how could such a technique have been lost? And what's missing is just one general outline.

It turns out that this general outline had long been regarded as the basic cultivation method and used as the practice method of the mountain hermits in Shu.

Because of this operation, the Three-One-Five Tooth Sutra and the General Principles were separated. Originally, as a lineage of the Mountain Lord and Mountain Yu, this technique would not have any problems as long as the Mountain Lord was selected from the Mountain Yu lineage. However, this rule was broken, and a new generation replaced the old. In the end, no one knew this secret anymore.

It's really quite speechless.

Juechen said, "Whether it is or not, you should know for yourself if you try it out when you have time. Since you have cultivated the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Art, you don't need to look for other cultivation methods for your primordial spirit. Since the Three One Five Tooth Scripture is on you, you can cultivate it directly. With the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Divine Art as a solid foundation, your progress should not be too slow. With my master's talent, he was able to cultivate from the early stage of the Dao True Realm to the level that could break through to the Celestial Human Realm within fifty years. It should only be faster for you!"

"Your comprehension is indeed excellent, but it's a pity. If you had been born a few hundred years earlier, the Heavenly Path would not have been severed. With your talent, breaking through to the Celestial Realm would have been only a matter of time. But now..."

Later on, Juechen still felt a little regretful.

Chen Yang asked, "Does the master know why the Heavenly Road was severed?"

Upon hearing this, Juechen shook his head. "Although I am nearly four hundred years old, I wasn't even born when the calamity struck four hundred years ago. My elders have been very tight-lipped about why the Heavenly Road broke. What I know is that this world couldn't accommodate so many experts at the Celestial Realm. There were too many Celestial Realm experts, too many wandering laws, which caused the Heavenly Road to collapse under the pressure..."

"But this is just something I heard secondhand. Anyway, there are many versions of the story, some reliable and some not. I don't know the specific reason..."

After a moment's hesitation, Juechen added, "Some time ago, I heard Canggou say that he had foreseen signs of the Heavenly Road being reopened. Canggou is quite skilled in divination. I don't know the specific basis for his claim, and it's possible he was just saying it casually to trick me into going out with him..."

……

"The Heavenly Road Resumes?"

Chen Yang paused slightly. "If it's true, Master, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

"For us top-tier cultivators, this is naturally a good thing. After all, if the Heavenly Path is reopened, the road ahead will no longer be a dead end, and we will have hope of survival again. But for the common people, it may not be a good thing..."

"Once the Heavenly Path continues, conflicts will inevitably arise again in the cultivation world. With more powerful beings, it will be even more difficult to control them..."

Juechen shared his opinion, and Chen Yang thought about it. The continuation of the Heavenly Road might not necessarily be a good thing.

Juechen said, "This kind of thing is none of our business to worry about unnecessarily. The Heavenly Path can be severed, and it can also be restored. However, whether it is severed or restored is the general trend of heaven and earth, and it will not be affected by the will of one or two people. Forcibly intervening will only result in bearing great karmic consequences..."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang didn't think much of it.

Although he had some things in his possession, such as the dragon and phoenix jade pendant and the two tokens, which were said to be related to the Heavenly Road, he had no clue what the specific connection was.

As Juechen said, it's best to let things take their natural course and not force them.

Anyway, Chen Yang is currently only at the beginning of the Dao Realm, and it's still a long way from considering the Heavenly Road. He used to think about planning ahead, but now he feels that it's not too late to find a way when the time comes.

……

As the two chatted, it became bright daylight.

They simply meditated for a short while, and despite not sleeping all night, both of them felt energetic and not tired at all.

After some calculation, it was determined that in four days, the gate to the Nine Elders Cave Secret Realm would reappear and then close again.

Chen Yang had to get to Zhong'e Mountain before the cave entrance closed.

However, for Chen Yang, one day was enough.

In other words, he has three days of free time left.

How should we arrange these three days?
After considering it, Chen Yang decided to go with Juechen to Xi'e Mountain.

Of the four mountains in the east, west, south, and north, he has only left Mount Xi'e unvisited.

Bashe had warned him not to go to Xi'e Mountain before, because there were Cang Gou and his group there, and too many powerful people. Going there rashly would be very risky.

After all, at that time, neither Canggou Daoren, nor Shensha Baihu, nor Shensha Baihu, nor that woman named Xiao Ling were people Chen Yang could afford to offend.

But now, the others are all dead, and Canggou Daoren has become all alone. He has disappeared somewhere and no one knows where he is now. He and Juechen are on the same road, so what is there to be afraid of?

If Cang Gou is hiding in Xi'e Mountain, then he and Jue Chen can join forces to kill him. If Cang Gou is not in Xi'e Mountain, Chen Yang also wants to go and see his lair, who knows what kind of legacy he might have left behind.

Chen Yang couldn't let such a good opportunity to raid the house slip by. Three days was enough time for a round trip.

……

-

Around noon, the two arrived at Xi'e Mountain.

Mount Xi'e is the gateway separating the inner region from the western outer region, and it used to have a sealed boundary and a guardian beast.

But now, the mountain's protective barrier has been broken, and the guardian beast, the white fox, is completely dead.

The cave dwelling of the Canggou Taoist is located in this Xi'e Mountain.

Juechen's cave dwellings are also located on this mountain, one on the south slope and the other on the north slope. The two have been entangled and fighting each other for many years.

For Canggou Daoren, Juechen was like a maggot clinging to his bone, impossible to kill or get rid of. For nearly three hundred years, they had to fight every now and then, which had become a regular occurrence between the two.

Originally, with their superior numbers, it shouldn't have been difficult for them to subdue Monk Juechen. However, Juechen simply used the Vajra Indestructible move, letting them fight as they pleased, knowing they couldn't harm him anyway. No matter how many people came, he wouldn't intervene, guaranteeing a 50/50 chance.

This monk certainly holds grudges.

The thing Cang Gou regretted most in his life was probably provoking Jue Chen.

Chen Yang first followed Juechen to the northern foot of Xi'e Mountain, where Juechen lived in a cave.

The cave was simply furnished. For cultivators, especially those at the Juechen level, they could completely abstain from food and simply absorb energy directly from the surrounding environment through daily breathing exercises, which was enough to meet their daily needs.

Within the secret realm, energy is abundant. For cultivators, eating is a waste of time; at most, they might drink some water occasionally.

Juechen was used to being alone and practiced the most difficult meditation technique in Buddhism. Apart from fighting with Canggou, he always lived a secluded life.

Cang Gou and his gang rarely came to cause trouble for him. It was only when Jue Chen came out of seclusion and felt that his cultivation had improved that they would take the initiative to come to his door.

Therefore, for the past three hundred years, Juechen has spent most of his time cultivating and rarely travels.

His cultivation level is so profound that it is beyond imagination.

-

Name: Juechen.

Physical strength: 632405.

Mental power: 645832.

Yuan Shen: 563252.

-

After breaking through to the Dao True Realm, Chen Yang was able to view some data information of Dao True Realm experts through the system.

He knew Juechen was very strong, but when he actually saw the numbers, he was still quite surprised.

His physical strength and mental power both exceeded 6,000, and his primordial spirit strength also exceeded 5,600.

It should be noted that even if Chen Yang had taken the Dao Zhen Pill, his primordial spirit cultivation would only have been forcibly raised to the 3,000th grade.

The difference is not even a little bit.

In other words, even if Chen Yang used the Dao Zhen Pill and raised his cultivation to the late stage of the Dao Zhen Realm, he still wouldn't be a match for Jue Chen.

Chen Yang's current physical and mental strength have only just broken through the thousandth grade mark, and his primordial spirit is not even at the thousandth grade yet. The gap is indeed huge.

However, despite being shocked, Chen Yang felt no envy or jealousy.

After all, how old is he, and how old is Juechen? Juechen's cultivation level was achieved through nearly three hundred years of hard work in this secret realm.

No matter how strong they are, it's what they deserve.

With a basic physique and mental strength exceeding six thousand grades, how powerful would he be to unleash the "Dharma Body Golden Body Technique"? No wonder Cang Gou and the others were helpless against him.

It can't be beaten, it can't be beaten at all.

……

"The place is simple and humble, please excuse my poor appearance."

Apart from a bed and a meditation cushion, the cave was completely empty, without even a piece of furniture or clothing.

Clothes are understandable; he has storage treasures that he can carry with him at any time. But there isn't even a table or chair; it's incredibly simple.

He was truly a devout ascetic.

"Master, isn't this place a bit too harsh?" Chen Yang didn't know where to settle down, and finally, guided by Juechen, he sat down on the futon.

Juechen laughed, "For me, having a place to stay is good enough. As the saying goes, 'Bodhi has no tree, the bright mirror is not a stand; originally there is nothing, so where can dust alight?' Don't be misled by appearances. If you don't feel it's bitter, then it's naturally not bitter. What's the use of a thousand mansions? I only need two feet of space to meditate..."

Chen Yang smiled sheepishly.

He could never learn Juechen's level of thought.

He would never agree to stay in such a place for hundreds of years.

He doesn't yet have that level of understanding, saying, "This is a humble abode, but my virtue makes it fragrant."

Even thieves would have to leave crying if they came to Juechen's cave.

……

Juechen only came back to take a look, fearing that Canggou might hide someone under the lamp. The most dangerous place is the safest, so he hid in his cave.

But as it turned out, even a greyhound would find the cave dwelling so rudimentary.

"Master, what is this?"

Sitting on the futon, Chen Yang looked up and saw many pictures and texts carved on the cave wall opposite him.

Some are new, some are old; some have been deleted, some have been altered; the walls are covered with them.

Juechen glanced at it, smiled, and said, "It's a mental formula that I cobbled together when I was bored over the years. I call it the 'Scripture of Universal Benevolence of the Original Mind'."

"Oh? A cultivation technique created by the founder himself?"

"If you're interested, you can take a look..."

Before Juechen could even speak, Chen Yang had already gotten up and gone to the foot of the stone wall to examine it carefully.

The techniques created by a nearly four-hundred-year-old ascetic monk must be of high quality and definitely worth studying.

Juechen said from the side, "Besides the 'Dharma Body Golden Body Technique,' the main cultivation method I practice is the 'Tathagata Meditation Technique.' This technique is also considered top-notch, but the increase in cultivation level requires long-term meditation and comprehension..."

"Humans are, after all, social creatures. When you're alone for too long, it's inevitable that you'll feel restless. When I was first trapped here, I used the 'Meditation Mantra' to dispel my inner turmoil and help me enter a meditative state. But as time went on and my cultivation deepened, the 'Meditation Mantra' became less effective..."

"During that time, I couldn't calm my mind, so I went out to travel, which was somewhat helpful. But over time, even traveling couldn't quell the restlessness in my heart. I couldn't calm my mind and enter a meditative state at all. Instead, my obsession prevailed. So I sought out the Cang Gou to fight and relieve my anxiety, hoping to sever my 'corpse' in the process. But I couldn't gain the upper hand for a long time, and my thoughts still couldn't be cleared. My obsession was showing a tendency to develop into a demonic possession..."

"So I had to think of another way. Since the 'Meditation Mantra' didn't work, I created my own meditation technique..."

"At first I had no clue what to do, but later, based on the 'Meditation Mantra,' I finally found some clues, and then I couldn't stop. I practiced and revised it all the way..."

"Whenever its effectiveness diminished, it was refined and improved. It took about two hundred years in total to arrive at the version you see now..."
