I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 389 The Secret of Ascension
Crunch!

When Jiangchuan pushed open the door of the Sutra Library, what caught his eye was a hanging painting.

The picture shows an old monk wearing a jade robe, twirling Buddhist beads in his hands, and sitting cross-legged on a twelve-petal lotus platform.

The old monk has a solemn appearance, and even though it is just a painting, one can still feel a sense of compassion.

In front of the old monk was a handsome monk wearing a gray monk's robe and with his hands clasped together.

"A dream of a hundred years."

An Yunyi stared at the four powerful characters above the painting.

"Could this be the scene when the Buddha Duobao Tathagata became a disciple?"

Jiang Chuan recalled the stories he had read in Buddhist scriptures.

According to legend, when the Buddha of Infinite Power incarnated into billions of beings to save all living beings, he met the extremely gifted Buddha of Many Treasures Tathagata.

Although Buddha Many Treasures Tathagata King is extremely talented, he does not like to practice cultivation and prefers to eat, drink and have fun.

The Buddha, the Infinite King of the World, did not want his extraordinary talent to go to waste, so he cast a spell to let him spend a hundred years in a dream, experiencing love, hate, and separation from his loved ones.

Finally, Many Treasures Tathagata King Buddha attained great enlightenment and became a disciple of Infinite King Buddha, becoming his registered disciple.

After practicing wholeheartedly and breaking through the twelfth realm, he was formally accepted as a disciple by the Buddha of Infinite Honor, the King of the World, and eventually became an almighty being in the fourteenth realm.

"Since it is hung here by the future Star Lord Buddha, then it is most likely."

Jiang Chuan couldn't be sure either. Although he had seen the statue of the Buddha Amitābha in the Bodhi Temple, according to the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha Amitābha had billions of incarnations, and in the anecdote, the Buddha Many Treasures first worshipped his incarnation when he became a disciple.

After taking a look at the vast amount of classics in the Sutra Library, Jiang Chuan's gaze once again fell on the four big words "A Dream of a Hundred Years".

"I sense the principles of the Great Dao in these four characters. If my guess is correct, this should be one of the opportunities left by the future Star Lord Buddha."

"One day is exchanged for a hundred years, allowing the monks to read through the scriptures in the Sutra Repository and comprehend the principles of the Great Dao."

"A hundred years in one day!"

An Yunyi's eyes lit up: "Jiangchuan, I don't want any of the opportunities on this trip. I want to practice hard here for a hundred years."

There was also a look of desire between Lu Chenling's brows.

For Lu Chenling, the biggest obstacle to improving her strength is time.

"it is good."

Jiang Chuan also understood that without the key in An Yunyi's hand, he would never be able to find this place.

With a point of his finger, the majestic power of the world surged out from Jiangchuan Daoguo and penetrated into the four big words "A Dream of a Hundred Years".

hum!hum!hum!
Colorless light gushed out from the four large characters "A Dream for a Hundred Years" and enveloped the entire Sutra Repository.

In an instant, Jiangchuan felt that the entire Sutra Library seemed to be independent of time and space, and not within the Three Realms and Five Elements.

"Although the Future Star King Buddha Master borrowed this allusion, he still used the hundred years of time that his own way of time and space evolved."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he walked to the bookshelf and began to browse through the ancient books.

He knew very well that since the Future Star King Buddha was prepared to help the Bodhi Temple overcome the tribulation, it was very likely that these ancient books would contain classics about the "Future Star Sutra" and the way of time and space.

Lu Chenling immediately sat down cross-legged and began to practice.

A faint sound of Taoism emanated from her delicate body, like an immortal preaching, ethereal and melodious, as if the gods were whispering.

"This little girl is not simple! Many true immortals don't have this kind of vision during cultivation." The rabbit said in surprise.

An Yunyi chuckled and said, "The great catastrophe is about to begin. Under the influence of the origin of the Qingyuan Realm, some cultivators who transcend common sense are born. It's not surprising."

As soon as she finished speaking, a colorful magic lamp made of eternal iron appeared above her head.

"A Taoist weapon made of the Eternal Silence Divine Iron!" Ancestor Ziyun's eyes lit up and his saliva was about to flow down.

"Old Ancestor, you should also read a book."

Jiang Chuan suggested that he felt that Patriarch Ziyun should really read some books and understand what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are.

Ziyun Patriarch curled his lips and said, "I'm a cat. Who would read a book if it were a serious cat?"

"Do you think you're a proper cat?"

"If I don't read or not, I'm not a serious cat, so why should I read?"

Jiangchuan: "."

I found that after your body was changed into the Bitter Sea Bowstring, your brain became smarter and smarter!

"Mang Qing's Notes", "Experiences of Cultivating by Crossing the Sea", "The Immovable Buddhist Canon", "The Treasure Book of Xutian".
Jiangchuan kept flipping through various ancient books in the vast Sutra Library.

Most of these ancient books contain the spiritual experiences and life experiences of true immortals, celestial demons, and ancient Buddhas.

Another part is a collection of scriptures, magical powers, formations, and talismans.

Most of the scriptures are fragments, and the few complete scriptures are only created by the Buddha of the Eleventh Realm.

However, Jiang Chuan felt that some of the magical powers were of great benefit.

For example, the boundless cycle of reincarnation cuts off all gods, Buddhas, immortals and demons in the world.

This is the magical power created by a thirteenth-level immortal emperor named Chixuzi in ancient times who comprehended the six paths of reincarnation.

This magical power can borrow the power of the six reincarnations. In ancient times, Chixuzi used this magical power to kill two gods of the same realm with one blow, and became famous for a time.

Another example is the Qiankun Gourd.

The name of this magical power does sound very ordinary, but it was also a magical power that was very famous in ancient times.

It was created by a gourd-spirited being named Gourd Daojun. Once unleashed, it could draw upon the power of heaven and earth, transforming it into its own strength to combat its enemies. With this power, Gourd Daojun had crushed several beings of the Thirteenth Realm.

Twenty years later, just when Jiang Chuan was about to finish reading all the books in the Sutra Library, he finally found a classic book about the practice of the way of time and space.

Jiang Chuan, overjoyed, began to flip through the book.

"It is indeed worthy of being the collection of the future Star Lord Buddha Patriarch!"

Putting down the ancient book in his hand, Jiang Chuan looked at the small pile of ancient books in front of him, his eyes full of emotion.

At his current level, he feels that reading ancient books is of great benefit to him.

The bottleneck he had reached began to loosen again.

Jiang Chuan then took out the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King who defies fate and began to comprehend it directly.

Wow! Wow!
The faint sound of flowing water rang in Jiangchuan's ears.

In Jiangchuan's sight, the shape of the Immortal King's Dao Fruit of the Counter-Fate Immortal King gradually changed, turning into a long river with no beginning and no end.

His mind was immersed in it, following the long river, slowly flowing towards an unknown direction.

Sixty years later, Lu Chenling and An Yunyi suddenly woke up.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Jiang Chuan, An Yunyi and Lu Chenling were shocked.

"Jiang Chuan took another step, no, it should be two steps."

A golden light flashed in Lu Chenling's eyes.

An Yunyi looked at Lu Chenling with a frown on her face, thinking to herself, "Am I overthinking this? I always feel like there's a hint of indifference in Lu Chenling's voice."

“I’ve gained a lot from this retreat!”

Jiang Chuan's face was full of smiles. Through the scriptures of the Future Star King Buddha, he comprehended the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King who defies fate and the Dao Fruit of the Kunming Heavenly Demon in the Sky Dao Tree.

He had taken two full steps in both the Way of Time and the Way of the Void, and was already no less capable than a True Immortal at the sixth level of the eleventh realm.

At the same time, his understanding of the Future Star Sutra has been further improved, and he has also mastered the thirty-two magical powers, such as the Dark Star Waves, the Four Symbols Star Gods, Rahu's Destruction of the Way, the Buddha's Wrath, the Boundary Seal, the Five Stars and Five Directions Seal, etc.

"There are still twenty years left. Let's use this time to make up for the shortcomings."

While thinking about this, Jiang Chuan took out the Heavenly Fire Immortal Lotus with only two lotus leaves left.

"Come!"

As soon as Jiangchuan opened his mouth, the two lotus leaves and the nine lotus seeds in the lotus pod turned into eleven red clouds and entered Jiangchuan's mouth.

It rose up like clouds and entered his sea of ​​consciousness, like a ball of burning red fairy fire, enveloping Jiangchuan's golden soul.

His realm was elevated again, but his own spirit did not improve much.

It is still difficult to compare with the real immortals.

Wrapped in the red fairy fire, Jiang Chuan's soul became brighter and brighter as time went by.

When the red fairy fire went out, Jiangchuan's soul seemed to be cast from pure yang fairy gold, shining like the sun.

"After all, I only obtained two petals of the Heavenly Fire Immortal Lotus. Even if I refine the lotus seeds as well, I feel that my Yuanshen is still slightly inferior to that of the Night Blade Demon Lord. Huh?"

Just as Jiang Chuan was realizing the changes in his soul, a strange feeling came over him.

Jiang Chuan suddenly raised his head, his sight seemed to cross endless time and space, and he saw a golden portal.

The gate is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet high. Above the gate are two large characters "Buddha Realm", which are simple and peaceful. Anyone who sees these two characters will feel a sense of tranquility in their heart.

It seems that behind this door is the supreme pure land far away from the sufferings of the world.

"The gate to the Buddhist world, so this is the ascension."

Jiang Chuan suddenly understood why the Taoist books recorded that cultivators at the eleventh level could ascend to the immortal realm, the Buddhist realm, and the demon realm, but his strength was obviously greater than that of many cultivators at the eleventh level, yet he was unable to ascend.

The so-called ascension is actually regarded as heading towards a destination.

If you want to get to this destination, you need a map.

When a cultivator reaches the eleventh realm, he can use his soul to sense the portals to the immortal world, the Buddhist world, and the demon world, and obtain this map.

"I have already sensed the door to the Buddhist world, so what about the doors to the demon world and the immortal world?"

Jiang Chuan's mind probed into the void and soon sensed the door to the demon world.
The gate to the Demon Realm is pitch black and is ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet high. Two large characters of Demon Realm written in iron and silver are engraved on the top of the gate. Every stroke gives people a sense of momentum that can swallow the universe and cover the eight wildernesses.

After taking a look at the gate to the demon world that he saw in the simulation, Jiang Chuan continued to sense the gate to the fairy world.

After a stick of incense, he finally sensed the door to the fairyland.

The gate to the fairyland is majestic and sacred, ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine feet high, with billions of rays of light blooming, and the sky is filled with auspicious colors.

The three Taoist characters on the South Heaven Gate are like three divine moons, inlaid on the towering portal, making people tremble with fear.

A long silver-white staircase that looks like the Milky Way in the sky extends along the portal all the way to the mysterious and extraordinary fairyland that has been mentioned countless times in Taoist books.

"Taixu Daojun actually still preserved the South Gate of Heaven!"

Jiang Chuan was a little surprised. The heaven collapsed from thirty-three heavens to nine heavens and fell into the hands of Taixu Taoist.

It is equivalent to a change of ownership of the country, and at this time some things of the previous dynasty usually have to be erased.

"The scriptures in the Sutra Library record that in ancient times, the gods and immortals in heaven could descend to the mortal world at will."

Jiang Chuan touched his chin, his heart beating fast.

"Does this mean that beings like the Ziwei Immortal King, the Taisu Fairy, and the Xuming Immortal Venerable can actually descend to the mortal realm and return to the Qingyuan Realm?"
