Chapter 393 Tathagata Seal

But in the void, he saw Monk Shannian sitting cross-legged on a golden lotus platform, with a circle of Buddha's light shining behind his head, emitting a peaceful atmosphere.

Li Ming finally understood that Shan Nian had just performed the "Great Method of Changing the Sky and Striking the Earth". This method was intended to save people, but it would reflect the life story and even the perceptions of the practitioner into other people's hearts without reservation.

This is because those who practice this method are all eminent monks and virtuous people. They can impart their own Buddhist realm to others, arouse the thoughts of compassion in their hearts, and are most effective in saving people.

Of course, this method is not limited to this use. It is said that if it is cultivated to a high level, it can evoke the memories of both parties' reincarnations in past lives. The mystery of it is beyond words.

Li Ming looked at Shan Nian's half-smile and then said with a smile: "The little monk is not honest."

"Master has given me an order, and I dare not disobey." Shan Nian said this honestly, and then said, "Brother Niu, you already understand the whole process. I can only help you so far. How to escape from this predicament depends on you."

After saying this, he turned into scattered starlight and disappeared.

Li Ming's eyes were clear. Just now, Shan Nian's Buddhist practice was like a blessing to him, and Li Ming also knew the instructions of Master Shan Nian.

Although he didn't know what the plan of this seemingly powerful monk was, he had already thrown out this real benefit and swallowed it into his stomach.

Then he thought of the old monk he met when he encountered the thunder tribulation that day.

"The Tathagata's true Dharma leads to enlightenment!"

“As it is, it is still and has no origin!”

The handprint had disappeared under the later Taoist sound, but it became clear again at this moment, especially when combined with the Buddhist teachings of Leiyin Temple that Shannian had learned.

When combined with this Dharma seal, thousands of profound Buddhist mysteries were immediately produced, and Li Ming's own practice of "The Vajra Sutra of the Powerful Bull Demon" also naturally underwent many changes.

Of course, Li Ming had no time to think about it at the moment. Instead, he used the "Changing Heaven and Strike the Earth Technique" and immediately headed towards the gourd vine.

At this moment, the gourd vine was still pulling the Dan Qi and golden elixir runes around his body. There was a connection between the two, so Li Mingyun used it without any awkwardness and succeeded in one fell swoop!
At this moment, a golden seal seemed to appear in his soul, which was illusory yet real. No one knew where it came from, and even Li Ming himself had not noticed it.

He sank into a trance, but this time it was different.

Before his eyes was a long river of time, with scenes reflected in the river.

The green vine was ignorant and unconscious, but it was watered with human blood and essence, and immediately developed evil thoughts.

Gourd fruits grew under the vine and were picked by people.

The sun and the moon rotate endlessly, and time passes quickly.

Li Ming went up the river, and scene after scene appeared before his eyes.

The further you go, the rarer the memory fragments become and the shorter the scenes become.

It seemed that the green vine had lost all its memories of the past, until at the end, a Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged under the vine practicing.

The Taoist's face could no longer be seen clearly, but there was a sense of Taoism flowing through him.

The Taoist suddenly looked up at Qingteng quietly, and it was as if he had seen Li Ming through the long river of time. It was very strange. He could not see the man's face clearly, but Li Ming had a feeling that he was smiling.

A long time passed in this spiritual consciousness, but it was only a moment in the outside world.

Everyone saw Shannian suddenly open his eyes, and his aura weakened a lot, but Li Ming was still firmly bound by the green vine.

Zhang An immediately shouted anxiously, "Master Shannian, has this failed?"

Shan Nian shook his head and said, "I've done everything I can. Let him take his own course."

Hearing this, the others were naturally anxious, but seeing that Shan Nian looked severely injured, they didn't want to do anything too extreme. They just hoped that Li Ming could escape easily. The green vine did indeed change slightly, no longer growing wildly. It was as if it had truly lost consciousness, even its instincts had disappeared.

Li Ming saw the Taoist in front of him smile, and suddenly his eyes became blank. Then he saw the situation of his previous life. Hu Liuqi at the foot of Xiaoming Mountain died tragically at the claws of a wolf demon.

But this is not the end. What immediately emerged was the life as an abandoned baby. In the overlap of the two worlds, he led mankind to the great era of martial arts and then the revival of spiritual energy.

Further ahead, there is a brief life as a mushroom, a life as an insect, time and time again.

Sometimes he is an emperor who forges a new dynasty and changes the world, sometimes he is the mastermind behind the scenes who manipulates the situation in the world, sometimes he is a Taoist who lives a carefree life in the world, sometimes he is a Confucian scholar with white hair searching for books, or a young man in fine clothes and riding a horse who ventures into the world.

There are also birds flying into the forest and becoming the king of beasts, there are also tigers roaring in the valley and frightening all the beasts, a green bamboo is green, and a red flower is gorgeous.

Suddenly the Taoist's voice was heard.

"do you understand?"

"Do I understand?" Li Ming said with a smile.

"I don't understand!"

Then, a thought arose from nothingness, and from that thought the world was born.

The universe was created by a single thought. Li Ming pointed to the sky with one hand and to the earth with the other, and took seven steps, with lotus flowers blooming at every step.

One step and the sky and the earth open, two steps and the sun and the moon turn, three steps and the mountains and rivers rise, four steps and the rivers surge, five steps and all the trees appear, six steps and the birds and beasts appear, and seven steps and the human race is born.

Li Ming immediately fell to the ground and made a seal with his hands.

"Tathagata Seal!"

Taking this opportunity, Li Ming finally condensed the illusory seal in his sea of ​​consciousness into a solid entity. It was one and all, and seemed to encompass everything in the world.

At this moment, all the countless creatures in this world "saw" Li Ming. Li Ming transformed into a three thousand foot tall Buddha, with a perfect Buddha light behind him, emitting a sense of compassion and purity.

Without any explanation or interpretation, all living beings seem to understand that this great Buddha is the creator and the origin of everything.

Immediately, countless thoughts came to him.

Trouble, purity, prayer, curse!

At this time, the same ethereal voice was still heard.

"understand?"

"Pure, free, liberated, free!"

Every time Li Ming spoke a word, his body shrank a little. When he finished speaking these eight words, he had become the size of an ordinary person. The compassionate mood also disappeared without a trace, and instead there was a sense of being out of this world.

The next moment, the world in front of him shattered. Li Ming opened his eyes. The green vine in his hand was no longer twisted and wild. A string of runes flowed in Li Ming's eyes. The green vine suddenly became listless like a deflated ball and kept shrinking.

At this moment, the vines that were wreaking havoc in the city all turned into dust.

In the end, only a dead branch was left of the huge ancestral vine, with a gourd hanging on the dead branch. There was no need for others to pick it. It fell into Li Ming's hands with a slight shake.

At the same time, an old monk in front of a faceless Buddha sighed deeply.

"After all, it was a missed move, allowing 'him' to take the initiative. It seems the timing is not right."
