The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 341 The Heavenly Demon's Illusion, A Terrifying Transformation

Xiao Jun enlightened Yang An, turning Yang An into himself, or perhaps Yang An realized that he was "Xiao Jun".

After enlightening Yang An, he took control of everything that belonged to Yang An.

Just now, while Huang Yanyan was testing Yang An, Xiao Jun was also simultaneously replacing Yang An's image in her mind with his own.

This is a Dao technique belonging to the Great Transformation of the Heavenly Demon. Xiao Jun does not need to use his martial will or any supernatural powers. He only needs a simple hint to accomplish it. Even if Xiao Jun were a complete mortal, he could still do this.

The Taoist art of the Great Transformation of the Heavenly Demon originated from the Buddhist Yogacara school. The Yogacara school's concept is that all phenomena are consciousness. From the Yogacara perspective, the world we observe and our personal worldview are not material things, nor are they ideal things created by our own minds, but rather changes in "consciousness".

Because of the changes in "consciousness", the six senses such as eye consciousness and ear consciousness have emerged, enabling us to "see" images and "hear" sounds. Relying on the five senses, we begin to develop corresponding thoughts and worldviews, and then develop self-awareness.

However, all our worldviews are based on our five senses and brain, on our sensory systems such as sight and hearing, so our worldviews are not the real world.

To understand the real world, one must break free from the shackles of one's own worldview and be able to objectively perceive the real world. From the perspective of Yogacara philosophy, this is called "breaking through appearances".

Ultimately, the goal of Yogacara is to break through all illusions, recognize the true world, and attain true wisdom.

However, Xiao Jun can use it in reverse. Huang Yanyan clearly has not become a creator, has not truly understood the wondrous uses of the true spirit, and is not a saint of great enlightenment who can recognize the true world.

Xiao Jun was able to use his understanding of "consciousness" to re-process and influence the things around him, implanting a kind of "appearance" into their consciousness.

This is the opposite of pursuing the truth, allowing others to obtain illusion... or perhaps it's not about obtaining illusion, but rather obtaining another kind of processed "truth".

The Great Transformation of the Heavenly Demon began by creating some minor techniques of the formless Heavenly Demon, and gradually delved into the exploration of the reality and illusion between heaven and earth.

Since Huang Yanyan cannot reach the Saint realm of breaking through all illusions, she will naturally be affected by Xiao Jun's current Heavenly Demon Transformation. Yang An's figure in other people's minds has already been manipulated by Xiao Jun.

At this moment, Huang Yanyan had begun to place great trust in the current Yang An. She believed that the current Yang An was still the same Yang An as before, and indeed, that was the case.

Huang Yanyan listened to the pounding of Yang An's heart and used her Dao techniques to sense Yang An's blood and essence.

The originally billowing energy, which resembled smoke from a wolf's beacon, became extremely restrained. What was once a massive pillar of energy reaching straight to the heavens was now gradually contracting. Upon closer inspection, Yang An's physical energy was gradually transforming into a condensed sun, radiating boundless heat.

"My lord, have your martial arts skills improved greatly?"

“Indeed!” Yang An nodded in reply, “This time I went out, I also had some fortuitous encounters, which made it possible for my martial arts to advance further. The strongest person in the court now is Hong Xuanji, who is said to have recently broken through the barrier of the Human Immortal realm and has achieved the realm of the Human Immortal.”

"This has created some obstacles for me to control the court, but soon, the obstacles will no longer be obstacles."

"Then I wish you, Lord Marquis, a speedy attainment of mastery in martial arts!"

……

A powerful stream of primordial magnetic energy circulated within Xiao Jun's body, its precision as fine as a micrometer. This vast amount of primordial magnetic energy surged into Xiao Jun's body, refining and shaping his physique from the microscopic to the macroscopic level.

The primordial magnetic energy circulates within the acupoints, harnessing the infinite kinds of power between heaven and earth.

This is the body of a human immortal absorbing the true energy of the primordial magnetic field to temper the physical body. The interior of one acupoint contains hundreds of acupoints. Xiao Jun has already comprehended the mystery of one acupoint leading to hundreds of acupoints, and has completely proved the power of a peak human immortal.

"I have calculated 1,111 major acupoints, and with the hundreds of acupoints contained within them, the peak human immortal I have achieved is almost at the limit of the power of a peak human immortal!"

Xiao Jun slowly exhaled a breath, which was a mixture of Yuan Magnetic True Qi. This mixed Yuan Magnetic True Qi stirred the surrounding space, making the surrounding scenery very unstable.

The Yuan Magnetic True Qi contained countless kinds of forces that squeezed, condensed, and pulled, disrupting the surrounding Yuan Qi wherever it passed. The Yuan Magnetic True Qi that was exhaled directly bombarded a distant mountain peak.

Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred on the mountain peak, and the entire mountain shook as if it were about to collapse.

Xiao Jun comprehended the realm of the Human Immortal, where one aperture leads to all apertures, and directly achieved the peak of the Human Immortal realm. Each time an aperture is opened, the Human Immortal body can penetrate through layers of void to absorb endless primordial energy and integrate it into itself.

Each time an acupoint is opened, one can naturally draw vital energy from the boundless void between heaven and earth. When the realm is reached, cultivation level is achieved.

Xiao Jun opened up 1,111 acupoints, using his boundless wisdom to calculate them. The more he calculated, the more he felt that the structure of the human body in this world was extremely mysterious.

It's so precise, unbelievably so, it looks like a fake!
For example, in the realm of human immortals, as long as one opens up the acupoints, the heavens and earth will naturally pour in endless primordial energy, without the need to deliberately seek out primordial energy.

It seems that heaven and earth resonate with the human body, as if the human body were a form tailor-made for this world, and humans are beings tailor-made for this world. The infinite mysteries within the human body are not a lie in this world!
Xiao Jun sensed the incredibly intricate human body of this world and looked at the Immortal Stone Embryo stored inside the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Pagoda.

This stone embryo has been gestating for millions of years, accumulating countless essences. It only needs to be born as a human immortal, a complete human being!
Xiao Jun's many secrets to opening up acupoints were derived from the analysis and calculation within this human immortal stone embryo.

The Immortal Stone Embryo embodies the boundless mysteries of the Great Thousand Worlds. However, Xiao Jun's physical body is no less impressive.

In other words, theoretically, all people in this world are essentially no different from the Immortal Stone Embryo, except for the quality and quantity of their primordial energy.

"Perhaps the ancestors of the people of this world were also stone embryos nurtured by heaven and earth, containing the infinite mysteries of the world."

From this perspective, all people in this vast world are born as nascent forms of divinity. Some people, with sufficient fortune and by chance, acquire enough vital energy to cultivate into immortals, or even achieve the state of shattering the void, just as these nascent forms of divinity become complete.

In fact, Xiao Jun has cultivated to the current peak level of a human immortal, and his power has already reached a limit. It is difficult for his power to increase further until he reaches the realm of shattering the vacuum.

Next comes the martial arts realm of flesh and blood regeneration and endless transformations. With flesh and blood regeneration, as long as even a single drop of flesh remains, one can eventually reshape their true form. The realm of endless transformations means the physical body is no longer bound by fixed forms and can undergo truly infinite changes. Transforming into a dragon is a true dragon; every strand of flesh and blood, every scale, is genuine. Transforming into a Qilin or Phoenix is ​​the same; they are true divine beasts, without any difference.

Whether it's derived from flesh and blood or undergoes countless transformations, it represents an extremely profound realm of martial arts.

However, these two extremely profound martial arts realms are an elevation of the spiritual realm. Their power is equivalent to that of a peak human immortal, but due to the difference in spiritual realm, they give rise to more mysterious changes.

Although the power of the realm of flesh and blood evolution and the realm of ever-changing transformations is equivalent to that of a peak human immortal, it does not mean that the two are on the same level. These two profound martial arts realms are enough to allow a single power to generate countless variations, and to allow a single power to be used as countless powers.

Ordinary peak-level immortals would basically have no choice but to await their fate when facing such a master.

All this is actually quite simple: it seems that after Xiao Jun became a peak human immortal, his spiritual realm had already reached a point where he could directly glimpse the mysteries of flesh and blood's evolution and ever-changing nature.

"The consciousness of the mind and the consciousness of the body are united, inseparable, and without difference."

From Xiao Jun's perspective, these two wondrous martial arts realms can actually be analyzed and transformed into a Dao technique, even allowing Xiao Jun from other worlds to practice such profound skills.

From multiple perspectives, such as the Yogacara school of thought, the consciousness of the physical body can be transformed into the wisdom of accomplishment, and consciousness and self can also be transformed into corresponding wisdom. The so-called myriad transformations are actually the complete transformation of the consciousness of the physical body into wisdom, which can be manipulated at will, and even modified from the very origin of life.

From the perspective of a Qi practitioner, one relies on the Yin and Yang principles to calculate the changes in the essence and spirit of the physical body, condense the Qi mechanism, and explore the ever-changing nature of life.

From a technological perspective, it is an integration of information and material changes.

There are also more complex perspectives to analyze.

Xiao Jun stood up. The place where Xiao Jun was was a continent, and a large number of living beings lived on this continent.

This continent is a part of the chaotic void within the vast world.

This continent was incredibly vast, almost the size of one of the ninety-nine continents of the Great Thousand Worlds. Xiao Jun calculated this continent and developed it into a cultivation cave.

However, this continent is still just a small world, only this small world is too vast.

In the future, when this void turbulence absorbs enough matter, the entire spacetime will continue to grow, and eventually, under the influence of the Kun Yuan power, it will directly transform into a sphere, eventually becoming a spherical continent, and thus a Middle Thousand World.

After Xiao Jun finished his seclusion, he absorbed and exhaled countless primordial magnetic energies from the vast world to temper his physical body, allowing the infinite true magnetic energy of heaven and earth to circulate and collide within his body, unleashing boundless power.

Such terrifying power, even if only a trace is leaked, is enough to cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split.

The cultivation of a Human Immortal is like this: absorbing the true magnetic field of heaven and earth to temper the physical body. This is almost the source of power in the vast world, enough to evolve all kinds of power. However, if one is not careful, the powerful energy unleashed by the rotation of the true magnetic field of heaven and earth will directly decompose the Human Immortal into the smallest primordial energy.

In ancient legends, some martial arts masters transformed into rainbows and ascended to heaven. Ordinary people might think this was because they had reached the point of immortality, but it was actually because their cultivation had gone wrong and they were directly decomposed by the true magnetic field of heaven and earth, thus transforming into rainbows.

With a few strides, Xiao Jun traversed the continent, his thoughts shifting and calculating the endless void turbulence of the Great Thousand Worlds, directly breaking through the void.

In the next instant, Xiao Jun arrived in the desolate wilderness.

At this time, in the desolate land, under Jingren's leadership, the lineage of the Great Zen Temple began to spread. They did not teach martial arts or Taoist techniques, but only wisdom and some scriptures.

In addition to the regular Buddhist scriptures, there is also a new type of scripture.

This section of the scriptures teaches what is known as Prajna.

The Prajna Kasaya worn by Master Jingren grants him the ability to manipulate it through martial arts will, allowing him to fly and traverse the earth. Combined with his own martial arts prowess at the Human Immortal level, ordinary Taoist masters dare not challenge him.

In fact, there were already Taoist masters who came to invade. At that time, Taoists from the Zhengyi and Fangxian sects accompanied Yang An to the desolate land, wanting to seize the so-called Qiankun Bag.

However, they were facing a powerful ninja wearing a Prajna kasaya. The Prajna kasaya was powerful enough to protect against the Taoist techniques of a sixth-level ghost immortal, and it also contained infinite mysteries.

Originally, those ghost immortals wanted to rely on the advantages of Taoist practitioners, such as flying and escaping, to pull away the human immortal martial artist Jingren. However, with the movement of the Prajna Kasaya, the human immortal Jingren was directly lifted into the air, blasting away many ghost immortals.

Some of these ghost immortals had their thoughts completely crushed by the martial will of the human immortals, severing their path to immortality. Others escaped even faster, their souls and thoughts scattered, but still retaining a sliver of hope.

However, there are even more terrifying methods, namely conversion. For example, the ghost immortal who was originally known as the Divine Eagle King, and the existence of the Eight Great Demon Immortals, was even directly converted by Jingren's martial arts will into all his thoughts and became his protector.

That martial will directly crushed the self-awareness within the Divine Eagle King's mind, and then reshaped it under Jingren's martial will.

The Eagle King could no longer become a protector, because his self-awareness was essentially nothing more than Jingren's martial will!

Such terrifying methods directly frightened away all the ghost immortals. Those who cultivated to become ghost immortals all cherished freedom above all else; how could they possibly be willing to crush their own consciousness and become protectors?
This method was a terrifying technique that Jingren had gleaned from the Prajna Kasaya given to him by Xiao Jun.

Looking at a monk with a face like an eagle, who was standing respectfully in front of a hermitage, a large part of Tianwu City had now taken on a Buddhist style.

And within that hermitage, guarded by monks who resemble eagles, lies the essence of forbearance.

Xiao Jun floated in the void, observing the atmosphere of Tianwu City. He absorbed the rich aura of the Mahayana Prajnaparamita, transforming it into his own resources. The core of the Mahayana Prajnaparamita here was precisely Xiao Jun's Primordial Dao.
