There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 316 True Scripture Arises in the Heart

"Om-"

The moment his divine sense touched that enlightened Dharma form, Chen Qing felt a jolt throughout his body!
A sense of loneliness filled his heart, which immediately calmed his mind, made his thoughts clearer, and caused his wisdom to flash continuously. Even his nature began to change!

However, at the critical moment, Chen Qing activated his mind, and the Qingqiu Mystic Flame in the Purple Mansion suddenly throbbed. Then, the projections of "Hidden Star True Lord" and "Hidden Star Dharma Master" appeared one after another, sitting in the Purple Mansion, their bodies radiating starlight, which stabilized Chen Qing's mind!

"Truly dangerous! The Buddha's image contains the Buddha's profound realm of understanding, how powerful it is! When I suddenly focused my divine sense into it, I was almost corrupted!"

However, he was not afraid at all. Once he returned to normal, he immediately expanded his divine sense and occupied the entire Buddha's shadow!

Instantly, the blurry image of the Buddha came to life, and his previously closed eyes slowly opened!

In an instant, the world around Chen Qing appeared completely different!

What comes into view is no longer the ordinary mountains and houses, but countless tiny streams of light representing thoughts and emotions dancing everywhere, and even strands of golden threads representing incense and vows, converging from all directions and disappearing into the depths of the void!
He could even vaguely "hear" many chaotic heartfelt wishes and prayers, and he could also sense that beneath the surface of this world, in a deeper structure, lay many mysterious and indescribable "nodes" and "networks".

A sense of mystery descended upon Chen Qing, and he felt a strange sense of familiarity. It seemed that as long as he had a thought, he could activate them and unleash all sorts of incredible abilities!

This feeling was somewhat similar to when he glimpsed those layers of authority in the Buddhist illusion of Xuan Tan's Buddha Kingdom, but it was even more magnificent!

However, Chen Qing was not misled by this feeling, knowing that it probably originated from the Lord of the Dao Fruit's perception, and not because he actually possessed such abilities.

at this time!

Something in his sleeve suddenly began to vibrate slightly without warning!
"Ok?"

With a slight thought, Chen Qing understood what was trembling. He immediately flipped his wrist and took the bronze jue from his sleeve, but upon closer inspection, everything appeared normal.

However, a thought suddenly struck him, and he looked with the "Buddha's Eye" of that enlightened Dharma form...

Suddenly, the bronze jue appeared in a completely different light to him!
On the body of the noble, the array patterns that had been forcibly imprinted and altered by the Buddhist sect still existed, but deeper inside, a point of chaotic starlight was flickering faintly!

Almost the instant Chen Qing saw the starlight, the Azure Flame in his Purple Mansion seemed to be drawn by cause and effect, and suddenly leaped on its own, splitting off a wisp of azure flame that drifted out and ignored the Buddhist restrictions on the surface of the bronze jue, directly entering the body of the jue and landing on that point of chaotic starlight!

"boom!"

It felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Chen Qing's mind!

Suddenly, fragmented memories surged from the depths of my heart, flashing by like a revolving lantern. A final point of chaotic starlight flickered within them. These fragments collided, combined, and deduced, eventually converging into a scripture that appeared in my mind!
Chen Qing was shaken and focused his gaze, only to see that the opening title of the scripture was—

The Supreme Primordial Qi True Scripture!
This name... is so similar to the "Primordial Qi Scripture"!
Could it be the complete version of that incomplete martial arts technique?
Chen Qing couldn't help but think that way.

The "Primordial Qi Scripture" was something he accidentally obtained in a crevice in a corner of the Senluo Treasure Pavilion during his first incarnation as "Chen Xu" in a dream. It seemed incomplete, but in fact it encompassed everything and contained profound mysteries. Its operating methods and main ideas not only helped him comprehend many wonderful methods such as the integration of Qi with Heaven and Earth and the travel of Qi with the spirit, but also laid the foundation and thought process for his cultivation in several lifetimes to a certain extent.

However, it was ultimately just a fragment of a scripture.

I never imagined that I would see a scripture with such a similar name today in this way!
What shocked Chen Qing even more was that, upon recalling the events, he realized that the fragments of memory that had just surfaced from the depths of his mind were all related to the "Primordial Qi Scripture"!
Not only does it contain the incomplete scripture itself, but also the essence of various methods he has derived and comprehended from it in his several lifetimes of cultivation—Qi unites with heaven and earth, Qi unites with spirit, the fire is passed on after the fuel is exhausted, and the fusion returns to the origin. Even some of the essence of similar techniques such as the Myriad Qi Returns to Burial and Melts Jade Hand and the Blood Soul Demon Light General Technique are mixed in!
That's how this "Supreme Primordial Qi True Scripture" came to be!
"Is this scripture a natural fusion of the various methods I have learned in my heart, evolving from nothing into something, or is it because my cultivation methods acted as a catalyst, triggering the true ancient and mysterious methods that exist in the dark during this time of Buddhist affinity?"

He was filled with doubt and wanted to think it over carefully and investigate, but the people around him saw his expression changing and his aura fluctuating, so they couldn't help but step forward with concern.

"Young Master, did you suffer heavy losses in the battle with that Buddhist disciple?" Mang Shou Tuo asked with a worried expression.

"Brother, if you feel unwell, do not force yourself. You must adjust your breathing immediately!" Zheng Qingtian also reminded him.

Chen Qing immediately composed himself, suppressed his turbulent thoughts, and waved his hand, saying, "It's alright, I've just gained some insights and need to think about them for a while."

He suppressed the urge to immediately explore the true scripture in his heart and was about to say something else when he suddenly felt something. He used the mysterious perspective of the Buddha's Dharma Eye behind him to scan the clouds above!
"Hmm?" This glance made his heart skip a beat!
Deep within the clouds, two people were sitting opposite each other!
"Hey, it really is the Ancient Buddha's True Eye, just as mysterious as the others we saw before. It has already discovered you and me."

Above the clouds, the old man in hemp robes laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned. He waved to the man in blue robes, "I've seen the people and enjoyed the show, so I won't linger any longer. If I'm annoyed, I'll be leaving now."

He stood up, seemingly about to leave, but then glanced at the man in blue and said meaningfully, "However, the fact that he could condense that Buddha's Ash Dharma Image shows that his roots in his previous life were indeed those of an ancient Buddhist venerable. You should think carefully about what his connection is with the Holy Emperor you mentioned!"

The man in blue frowned, staring at the half-lit, half-shadowed Buddha image behind Chen Qing, which was both desolate and full of life. He said in a deep voice, "The former imperial family made a solemn vow and spoke with great certainty, but such a Buddhist image cannot be created without a great foundation and great karma... Perhaps they are really mistaken."

At this point, his tone turned cold: "If this person is not the reincarnation of the Holy Emperor, but merely an ancient Buddha child with extraordinary Buddhist affinity, then we have no need to contact him, much less get involved. As for how he impersonated someone and why he impersonated someone, as long as he doesn't cause trouble again, there's no need to investigate."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the old man in hemp robes showed an even more mocking expression. "Just now you were so determined to win, but now you don't want to get involved anymore? Your mind changes faster than turning the pages of a book."

The man in blue remained calm and said indifferently, "Within the Buddhist sect, the struggle between the old and the new has never ceased. Those old Buddhas want to regain power and continue the glory of the old methods through reincarnated children; while the newly emerging factions want to consolidate the current situation. This Chen Qiu, with his strange Buddhist aura and unfathomable foundation, is like an ownerless treasure, and will surely become the focus of the struggle between the two sides."

His gaze swept over the withered Zen Temple.

"The Lotus Realm represents a newly rising faction. Treating it with courtesy and courtesies is an attempt to draw it in as an ally and increase its influence. As for the Xuan Tan Buddhist disciple, he seems to be detached from worldly affairs, but behind him is an old power. The forced conversion he just made was nothing more than an attempt to incorporate him into the old tradition and strengthen their own foundation. This kind of conflict, which involves the fundamental traditions of Buddhism and the rise and fall of its fortunes, is very deep."

At this point, the man in blue shook his head: "If it is not necessary, it is wise to avoid getting involved in the cause and effect."

"Then you'd better take care of yourself." After listening to his analysis, the old man in hemp robes chuckled, and with a flicker of his body, he vanished into the sea of ​​clouds like a wisp of smoke.

The man in blue stood alone on the cloud, remained silent for a moment, then glanced at Chen Qing, who was surrounded by monks, with a complicated expression.

"Very well, let's retreat for now. When the opportunity arises, we must find out the truth about this person before making a decision!"

After saying this, he transformed into a streak of light, vanished into the void, and disappeared.

"Who are these two people? Their demeanor is completely different from the idle people in the temple, and they left without a trace. It's impossible to tell what kind of magic they use!"

Chen Qing felt a chill run down his spine, and the slight smugness he felt from startling Xuan Tan the Buddha vanished instantly.

"The Immortal Dynasty has existed for 30,000 years, its foundation is so profound! Even though the spiritual energy is declining now, who knows if there are no immortal beings with profound cultivation hiding in the world? This matter of the Kuchan Temple alone has already attracted the Dharma Image True Lord and the reincarnated Buddha. The people of the world should not be underestimated!"

Alerted, he dared not be negligent and immediately withdrew the half-light, half-dark Buddha image, saying to the crowd that had gathered around him, "Now that you have gained something, you must immediately go into seclusion to consolidate it and it is inconvenient to see any more guests."

The Kuchan Temple was naturally pleased with the outcome, and the Venerable Master Jingyan personally arranged for additional personnel to protect the courtyard and ensure that no one would be disturbed.

Mang Shoutuo exchanged a glance with Zheng Qingtian, then stepped forward and whispered, "Young Master is currently enjoying great success, but with great influence comes great trouble. Traveling outside will inevitably attract unnecessary trouble. I have already sent word to Donghai, and capable people will be coming to meet you soon. Young Master can take this opportunity to recuperate properly in the temple and consolidate your cultivation."

Ling Jue and Yun Shuyue also took the opportunity to report: "Uncle-Master, the sect has also received the news. The sect leader and all the elders know that you have made a name for yourself here, and they are very pleased. They said they will send someone to visit you as soon as possible." As they spoke, the two of them glanced at Mang Shou Tuo cautiously, with a hint of competition in their eyes.

Chen Qing took in everyone's expressions and knew that this commotion was indeed significant and had affected many people. So he didn't say much, but simply cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your help."

After saying this, he turned and stepped back into the quiet room.

The door was closed, separating the inside from the outside.

Chen Qing sat down cross-legged, held his breath and concentrated, and waited until his mind was completely calm before sinking his divine sense into his heart to formally explore the "Supreme Primordial Qi True Scripture" that had appeared due to the abnormal movement of the bronze jue.

"We'll have to see then how it differs from the original fragment, and whether it's now complete!"
