The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 152 Tianxin Linglong Ring

"Wait another five hundred years?"

"Junior brother! Junior brother!"

Sun Wukong shook his head helplessly, "Your body, which has returned to the void, has accumulated an incomparably strong foundation. In my opinion, even the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua would not have such a strong foundation as yours!"

"This..." Lei Zhan was speechless.

Sixth Senior Brother directly mentioned Lu Dongbin?
But while he is waiting for his master Patriarch Bodhi to help him resume the Qi training method "Jiufang", he certainly cannot stop making progress during this period.

As long as you practice and comprehend, you will continue to accumulate foundation.

Even among the four great tribulations of the divine calamity, wind, fire, thunder, and inner demon, Lei Zhan was not 100% sure about the inner demon tribulation.

"I can't do anything about it." Leizhan turned his head to look at Sun Wukong, shook his head and smiled, "Junior brother, the Qi training method I practice is a bit special. I have to wait another five hundred years before I can have some confidence in breaking through the Qi training and the divine and demonic body training at the same time, and overcome the heavenly tribulation together."

"Is there a special method of practicing Qi?" Sun Wukong glanced at Jiang Jun in white clothes beside him and nodded thoughtfully.

……

Time passed slowly.

Just when Lei Zhan was talking with Sun Wukong, Ji Dian, Jiang Jun and other fellow disciples.

In the blink of an eye, the thunder tribulation that Wangshu, who was in the center of the endless calamity cloud, had experienced also came to an end.

"It's the last thunder tribulation!" Jiang Jun in white said with a smile, "Junior Sister Wangshu's mental strength has reached the second level, which is the same level as mine. And Junior Sister is free from sin and obsession, so I think the last inner demon tribulation should not be a big deal."

Wangshu's Second Soul had been able to overcome the tribulation with such ease, partly because he had minimal karma and even had some merit. There were no obstacles, and the Second Soul had simply overcome it.

Even now, I am not like Leizhan who is plagued by karma fire, so although the heavenly tribulation is strong, it is still within the normal and reasonable range.

The powerful men from the Fangcun Mountain lineage who were watching around also had some expectations in their hearts.

Boom~~~

In the endless calamity clouds in the sky, a white lightning suddenly came down with great power.

This lightning was different from the previous ones. It did not have the power to destroy everything, but was full of holiness and luxury.

It does not have a violent momentum, but only a kind of grace and luxury.

This is the last level of thunder from the Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulation!
"The Nine-Nine Thunder Tribulations...are coming." Lei Zhan looked up at the sky.

High in the sky.

Wangshu also stared at the pure white thunder and pointed at it from a distance.

"go with!"

Suddenly, the star-like beads connected directly into a line, like a string of pearls. There were nine in total, each of them was extremely huge, and each of them was an innate spiritual treasure.

It roared against the sky and charged towards the white thunder.

In an instant, the white thunder was completely shattered by the bombardment of the first few beads.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining beads quickly floated upstream.

"Boom~~~"

The white thunder, which had already been shattered by the explosion, trembled and then collapsed and dissipated.

Wow~~~
The vast calamity clouds in the sky began to dissipate, and a flash of lightning appeared out of nowhere, appearing on Wangshu's body.

Wangshu's immortal body, which was tempered after he survived the thunder tribulation, immediately began to emit immortal aura.

"I've survived the heavenly thunder tribulation." Jiang Jun also had a smile on his face, "My Fangcun Mountain lineage will also have another heavenly god and true immortal."

"Next, the inner demon tribulation should not be a problem." Ji Dian shook the broken fan in his hand, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"The inner demon tribulation shouldn't be difficult."

Everyone was talking, and everyone had a smile on their face.

The Fangcun Mountain lineage is stronger, and they are all disciples of Patriarch Bodhi, so naturally they are proud of it.

……

Heaven, Lingshan.

Leizhan sat cross-legged on the golden cloud bed, quietly contemplating the great magical power "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" passed down by Buddha Tathagata.

suddenly.

"Building Exhibition!"

A majestic voice sounded in Leizhan's heart.

"Hmm? It's Master." Lei Zhan immediately understood that the owner of this voice was Master Tathagata.

Wow.

Lei Zhan's mind moved, and ripples suddenly appeared in the surrounding space. Soon, the space calmed down, and the sitting figure disappeared from the room.

……

Lingshan Hall.

The Buddha Tathagata was sitting high above it, with lotus thrones on both sides of the hall. And at the bottom of the hall, there were also cushions for the Ming Emperor.

Although the hall was no longer filled with the True Gods and Taoist Ancestors, it did not seem empty at all.

"Master." Leizhan appeared in the hall, looked up at the towering figure sitting high above, and bowed respectfully. "Sit down," Tathagata said with a gentle smile.

"Yes." Leizhan nodded, found a cushion to sit on, and waited quietly.

His master is the same as his master Bodhi Patriarch. Generally, he will not call him casually unless there is something important to tell him.

After all, even a powerful person at the level of a true god or Taoist ancestor has to practice quietly, constantly improve his strength, and want to go one step further.

"Leizhan." Tathagata looked down and asked with a smile, "How long have you been my disciple?"

"Reporting to the master, it has been five hundred years since I became your disciple." Lei Zhan was confused, but still answered respectfully.

"Five hundred years..." Tathagata smiled. "When I first heard your name, I knew you were quite a monster. I also heard Bodhi say that you were extremely gifted in mental strength. Even after returning to the Void Body, your mental strength has reached the third level."

"I'm eager to learn from talented people, and it's a perfect opportunity. So I agreed to take you under my wing."

"Hmm?" Leizhan looked at Tathagata and listened silently.

"For five hundred years, although you have been in seclusion practicing, I have also been observing you secretly. Although not eye-catching, you are also decent."

As the Buddha spoke, he flipped his hand and suddenly a palm-sized ring appeared in his hand.

"This treasure is called the Celestial Heart Exquisite Ring. I obtained it from a Chaos alien race in ancient times."

"Huh?" Lei Zhan was stunned.

Obtained from the Chaos aliens?

Then, following the words of Buddha Tathagata, Leizhan's gaze fell on the inconspicuous ring in the huge palm.

"This Tianxin Linglong Ring is not a magical weapon, but rather... a rare item." Tathagata said:

"When divine power is immersed in this Tianxin Linglong Ring, it is empty. Refining magic power is like catching the moon in the water. Only when the power of the mind is wrapped around it can it have any effect."

"As for this treasure, many powerful people in my Buddhist sect are helpless against it. Even I, whose mental strength has reached the 'mortal world', cannot decipher the secret of this treasure. I only know that this treasure is called the Heavenly Heart Exquisite Ring."

"But according to our speculation, to decipher the secret of this treasure, one should reach the fifth level of mental strength. Only then will it be possible. And today, this treasure will be bestowed upon you."

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan was listening intently and even began to guess the purpose of his master Tathagata asking him to come over.

But in the end, after going through so much trouble, the result was a gift of treasure?

"Master, you want to give me this treasure?" Lei Zhan asked doubtfully, "But my mental strength is only at the third level, far inferior to Master's..."

The Tathagata's few words had already let Lei Zhan know that this treasure was very likely a rare treasure! Although it could not be used, it was given to him directly like this?

You have to know that Leizhan's own mental strength is only at the third level!

"Although your mental strength is not as good as mine now, what I value is your talent in mental strength." There was endless light in Tathagata's eyes.

"I have cultivated for countless years, from ancient times to the present day. I have even re-entered the cycle of reincarnation to seek the Tao, but my talent for mental strength is still not apparent. Countless years have passed, and it is difficult to break through to the fifth level."

"But you are different. Your cultivation time is short, and your mental and natural talents are much stronger than those of all the disciples of my Buddhist sect. Therefore, it was Bodhi and I who decided to give you this unusable treasure."

"This..." Lei Zhan smiled bitterly, "As far as I know, the fifth level of mental strength..."

Buddha Tathagata shook his head: "You have become my disciple and I have bestowed upon you this treasure. It is still considered a Buddhist treasure. But if other powerful beings are allowed to decipher the secret of this treasure..."

"Not to mention that the fifth level of mental power may only be one of the conditions for cracking the treasure. Even if the fifth level of mental power can directly crack it, this treasure is still my Buddhist possession."

"I understand this, disciple." Leizhan nodded and immediately understood it in his heart.

If this treasure is finally cracked and it really contains a big secret, the meat will be rotten in the pot.

Even if he was eventually benefited by Lei Zhan, it was because of what his master Tathagata had done for him. In the end, he would not forget to benefit the entire Buddhist community because of his love for the whole family.

After all, the bond between master and disciple can be severed, the various methods bestowed by Tathagata can be severed, and the teachings of the past five hundred years can be severed.

However, Leizhan's heart of Taoism cannot be violated.

Without a heart for Taoism, no matter how strong one's cultivation is, it will be like a castle made of quicksand.

If you are not careful, it will collapse.

Of course, other powerful people such as Leizhan’s eldest brother Houyi can also remember this favor, but those in the same camp are never as close as those in the same force or the same sect.

"Well, you don't need to feel burdened." Tathagata smiled and said, "I am not trying to embarrass you by giving you something that even powerful people like me cannot crack. I am just casually placing a piece down, following fate."

"Yes." Lei Zhan nodded respectfully.

"Yeah." Tathagata looked at Leizhan below and waved his hand. The ring in his hand flew in front of Leizhan.

"Take the treasure and go."

"Yes." Leizhan nodded, and then put away the Tianxin Linglong Ring in front of him.

Buddha Tathagata looked at Lei Zhan and gently warned him, "These are just external things. The most important thing for you now is to survive the divine tribulation. This will also allow my Buddhist sect to add another powerful person of the arhat or bodhisattva level."

Lei Zhan responded respectfully, then turned around and slowly left the hall.

"This treasure... I hope you can live up to our trust." Buddha Tathagata looked up at the sky above the hall with a leisurely gaze.

It seems that I can see the once extremely arrogant and powerful Chaos alien race.

"Back then, he roamed the Chaos Primordial Realm, and his strength was almost rivaled only by the Goddess Nuwa... The treasures such a being carries."

"This secret has intrigued me for ages!"
