Longevity in Two Worlds: Double Pupils Are the Road to Invincibility

inside the house.

Shi Yi sat there drinking tea and quietly watching the history of the world, and he was reading with great interest.

The information recorded in the history of heaven and earth is all content that he is very interested in.

The history of heaven and earth in the Central World is more exciting than the history on the Blue Planet. This excitement lies not in biological evolution, but in mythology.

It sounds like myths and legends, but there is real evidence to support it.

In this world, there are information records, starting from the gods and demons of heaven and earth who carry the power of the rules of heaven and earth. They are born from heaven and earth, control the power of the rules of heaven and earth, and have powerful combat power.

Shi Yi couldn't imagine how powerful that kind of existence was for the time being. After all, that kind of existence was born from the heaven and earth, carried the rules of the heaven and earth, and roamed in the heaven and earth. Even in the harshest environment, it was difficult to hurt such a powerful existence. Compared with such a powerful existence, he was still too weak.

With his current strength, imagining that kind of existence is like a beggar imagining the life of an emperor, thinking that he would eat white flour buns for every meal.

What you think of as life is actually just a glimpse of the whole picture.

Later, for unknown reasons, the gods and demons who carried the power of the rules of heaven and earth disappeared, which made Shi Yi feel even more shocked.

The rules of the entire world also changed after the gods and demons who carried the power of the rules of heaven and earth disappeared.

As times change, new and powerful creatures are born.

Although there is not much recorded in the history of heaven and earth, Shi Yi can see from it that the rules of this world are becoming more and more perfect with the passage of time, making them difficult to comprehend and even more difficult to control.

"After the great changes in the world during the Middle Ages, the Central World also entered the Late Ancient Age. The dominance of the human race was not affected by the changes in the times and remained extremely powerful."

"The various schools of thought that emerged in the Middle Ages were extremely prominent. Although the various schools of thought emerged and began to develop, they were not as prominent."

"However, after the great changes in the world and the beginning of the ancient times, the various schools of thought within the human race flourished and grew rapidly."

"The contention of various schools of thought led to the emergence of numerous powerful sages within the human race. In the Central World, the human race still dominated, and some of the remaining races also disappeared in this era."

"The period from the recent ancient times to the present is also called the Age of Sages."

"The Buddha Tathagata rose in this era."

"Hundreds of schools of thought, one after another, took the stage, composing a magnificent era for the human race."

"However, this era also passed away along with the disappearance of the sages and great men of the various schools of thought."

Shi Yi looked at the records of the recent ancient times, which was the era closest to the present.

Compared with other eras, the modern ancient era has the most heritage left over. Some of them have been powerful and are still strong today, while some heritages have disappeared in the dust of history.

As far as Shi Yi knows, the Jixia Academy is the heritage left by the various schools of thought. With the changes of the times, the heritage is no longer pure and includes a lot.

The same is true of Daputuo Temple, a powerful heritage left over from ancient times.

However, there are still big differences between the two.

To this day, the Jixia Academy is still strong, while the Daputuo Temple has declined.

The former holy land sects have now been forced into the Western Desert just to continue the Buddhist heritage.

Up to now, there is basically no trace of Buddhism in dynasties such as the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The few strokes in the history of heaven and earth are a portrayal of the era when heroes competed with each other. It makes people's blood boil and they can't wait to participate in it.

Among them, those who can be recorded are all the most dazzling and powerful people of an era. Some of them are even the existence that suppresses an era.

"In this era, it is difficult to become a god or a human immortal, and powerful people at the sage level have almost disappeared."

"The power of time is truly terrifying."

The more I see, the more I feel the horror of time.

Any powerful creature will be worn down by time before it can achieve eternal immortality.

"The geographical area of ​​the Central World has changed greatly over time."

"Until now, the entire world has been divided into five major regions. Zhongzhou, with the Central Plains as its main region, is also the richest place in the Central World. Powerful dynasties such as the Great Zhou Dynasty have dominated Zhongzhou, occupying a piece of territory and becoming a major force."

"As for the remaining four regions, they are the Western Desert, Northern Liang, Southern Wasteland, and Eastern Abyss. They surround Zhongzhou, and their environments are even harsher than Zhongzhou itself. Forces that find it difficult to remain in Zhongzhou but do not want their heritage to be cut off will choose to migrate to other places outside of Zhongzhou."

"The Great Putuo Temple, one of the four sacred sites in Zhongzhou, was forced to retreat into the Western Desert. There has been no news of the Great Putuo Temple in Zhongzhou for a long time!"

"Among the four great sacred places in Zhongzhou, the Tiandu Demon Cult was the first to decline. Although it was the result of the coalition of multiple forces, seeing that some remnants of the demon cult had appeared and caused trouble before, it seems that the Tiandu Demon Cult was not completely wiped out, but simply hid and developed secretly."

"Above the Central World, there are mountains, oceans, lakes, forbidden areas, and other regions that separate the major regions. These places are even more sparsely populated!"

"The entire territory of the Central World is much larger than I expected."

After reading the last record about the modern times in the history of heaven and earth, Shi Yi felt deeply moved.

The Central World has not only experienced tremendous changes in the times, but the earth, mountains, rivers, ocean currents, etc. have also undergone great changes.

Those powerful people at the great level have the ability to change the world.

In this world, some dangerous places are naturally generated, while some areas are transformed by powerful people using their great supernatural powers.

However, it only records some information, and the content is not complete, just a few random mentions.

Because this is not a record of mountains and rivers, but a history of heaven and earth, it is not written in such detail.

Shi Yi gained a lot after reading it.

"The Central World is so vast and has gone through so many changes over the ages, but has no immortals ever been born?"

"Crossing the sea of ​​suffering, reaching the other shore, and achieving eternal immortality, is this just a legend?"

After reading the history of heaven and earth, this thought popped up in Shi Yi's mind.

He had seen some information recorded in the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra" that the ultimate pursuit of those who practice cultivation is to cross the sea of ​​suffering, reach the other shore, and achieve eternal immortality.

In the history of heaven and earth, those powerful beings that suppressed an era seemed to be about to reach this point, but eventually disappeared in the long river of time.

If it were not recorded in the history of heaven and earth, no one would probably know about it, but even so, such an existence seems to have fallen!
The records of the history of heaven and earth only begin to increase from the Cambrian era. The Hadean universe is too ancient and there is not much information.

No one even knows whether there were other eras before the Hadean Universe.

At least in the history of heaven and earth, there is no record of it. After Shi Yi finished reading it, many doubts arose in his mind, and he became more and more puzzled.

He felt that the more he looked, the less real it became.

The history of heaven and earth could not answer Shi Yi's questions, so he could only open other books he brought back.

Among these books, Shi Yi's attention was focused on the books related to the Daputuo Temple, because the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra" he was currently practicing came from the Daputuo Temple.

However, when he had previously conducted inquiries in Changqing Temple, he had only found a few fragments and the information was incomplete.

Of course, this is also related to the ban on Buddhism in the Zhou Dynasty.

However, there are quite a few books in the Taiyi Sect.

Those book banning actions are aimed at small forces, not big forces.

"The information recorded in the Mahayana Tathagata Sutra has been found!"

Shi Yi flipped through the book quickly, and soon he found what he wanted to read.

The more Shi Yi understood Taoist practice, the more he could feel the complexity of the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra".

Just from the characteristics of the Yin Spirit he obtained when he condensed the Yin Spirit and broke through the realm of driving away objects, it can be seen that this technique is not simple.

Because the power of the Yin God's characteristics is too strong!

Throughout the history of heaven and earth, and in recent ancient times, there are records of powerful beings like Tathagata.

None of the powerful people who can be recorded in the history of heaven and earth are simple.

"The Great Putuo Temple is the Tathagata's inheritance sect. Within the sect are the Tathagata's three supreme scriptures. If the three techniques are combined into one, it is hoped that one can cross over to the other shore and achieve the great transcendence of life."

"The three supreme scriptures are the Mahayana Tathagata Sutra, the Hinayana Amitabha Sutra, and the Sutra of the Future of All Beings."

"The Mahayana Tathagata Sutra is a supreme Taoist practice text. Theoretically, it can transcend the realm of Tribulation Immortal, comprehend the Dao of Oneness, cultivate to the level of Buddha, and achieve great freedom."

"The Hinayana Amitabha Sutra is also a supreme martial arts technique that can transcend the realm of human immortals. It is hoped that one can comprehend the Way of Kun Yuan, enter the level of shattering the vacuum, and achieve immortality in the flesh."

"In addition, there is the most mysterious 'Sutra of the Future of All Living Beings', which involves the method of faith and cultivation, and draws on the faith of all living beings to gain immortality."

"The Tathagata said that by uniting the three dharmas into one, one can cross over to the other shore and attain eternity."

Shi Yi's heart beat faster as he read the records in the book.

He had already felt that the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra" was not simple, but he had not expected that it was the supreme Taoist scripture of the holy land. In a sense, if Shi Yi turned to practice other Taoist techniques, at most they would be on par with the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra" and it would be impossible to surpass it.

Unless the method of practice can truly achieve eternity, it can transcend this level.

However, Shi Yi had read the history of heaven and earth, and the content in the book gave him the feeling that no powerful person had ever achieved this level, and eternity seemed to be just a legend.

Under such circumstances, there is naturally no skill that can surpass this level.

The "Golden Crow Carrying the Sun" that he practiced in the Taiyi Dao Sect was far inferior to the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra", both in terms of intention and long-term significance.

Shi Yi also silently warned himself not to reveal the fact that he was practicing the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra", otherwise he would be in big trouble.

As long as one is able to comprehend the Way of Oneness, cultivate to the level of a Buddha, and obtain the method of great freedom, there will definitely be many people who want to obtain it as long as it appears in the world.

When there is a holy land in charge, ordinary people dare not move. However, when there is no such a big force in charge and the strength is not enough, mastering this level of skills will be a big trouble.

As long as someone discovered that Shi Yi was practicing the "Mahayana Tathagata Sutra", it would be very normal for a group of powerful people to come and hunt him down and snatch the skills from him.

In this era, the rule of the jungle is followed the most.

"The Great Putuo Temple was nearly destroyed. The source of the conflict was a conflict over the spread of doctrines, a conflict that had been going on for a long time."

"While Daputuo Temple was spreading its teachings, it also had major internal problems, which exacerbated the process."

"The abbot, as the leader, advocates the Mahayana teachings, the Bodhisattva path, the salvation of all sentient beings, and the pursuit of Buddhahood and liberation for all sentient beings."

"And those led by the abbot advocate the Hinayana Buddhist doctrine, with self-perfection and liberation as its purpose, pursuing personal liberation and nirvana."

"The conflict between the two philosophies also represents the struggle between Taoism and martial arts, respectively. It caused a great disturbance within the Great Putuo Temple. The Great Putuo Temple's decline and near destruction is also related to the fierce conflict between the two doctrines."

"Compared to the previous two, the Sutra of the Future of All Beings in the Great Putuo Temple is also the most mysterious. There are very few practitioners, and it seems that there is no independent teaching."

"After the near destruction of the Great Putuo Temple, this technique also disappeared. No one knows where it is."

After seeing the information he wanted, Shi Yi carefully read the history of Daputuo Temple again.

The content related to the exercises is only a part of the book, and more of the content is about the history of the development and decline of the Great Putuo Temple. The recorded information is not so comprehensive, but it can also give Shi Yi a general idea.

After all, only the participants know the full content.

"The Great Putuo Temple is a sect from the recent ancient times. It has inherited the legacy of the Buddha and has a profound background. It has been a holy sect that has been maintained from the recent ancient times to the present day, and its heritage is very long."

"But even a sect like this was nearly destroyed over time!"

"The reason for the destruction was partly due to the internal doctrinal disputes within the sect, and partly due to the instigation of many external forces."

"It seems that the two major holy places of Zhongzhou, the Jixia Academy and the Zhengyi Immortal Dao, are all involved. The major dynasties of Zhongzhou are no exception. For example, the fact that Buddhism is still banned in the Great Zhou Dynasty is a good proof of this."

"The more I read the information about the Central World, the more interesting it becomes!"

"If I have the opportunity to obtain the Hinayana Amitabha Sutra and the Sutra of the Future of All Living Beings, with these three supreme techniques, I may be able to cross the sea of ​​suffering, reach the other shore, and seek eternity."

After reading the contents of the book, Shi Yi had great ideas about the two exercises, "The Hinayana Amitabha Sutra" and "The Sutra of the Future of All Beings".

The fact that the Great Putuo Temple was nearly destroyed at that time might have had a lot to do with the three supreme skills in the Great Putuo Temple.

After all, according to Tathagata, if one practices these three supreme skills to the limit, one will be able to transcend and reach the other shore!

Everyone who practices cultivation wants to go further on the path of cultivation.

Of course, Shi Yi also had doubts in his mind. Since Tathagata said that by practicing these three supreme skills to the limit, one can transcend and reach the other shore, then why did the Buddha disappear? Did he really reach the other shore?
