Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Noob!

Lin Mo instantly understood the purpose of the common people.

There are still some things I don't understand.

"You say I'm a substitute for someone else undergoing tribulation. How do you explain that?"

Ji Chengyuan's four chief eunuchs were all taken aback, finding it hard to understand why this commoner showed no shock, fear, or despair, but instead remained calm and composed.

Does he not feel any fear at all?

Ji Chengyuan couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid? Aren't you desperate?"

Lin Mo said without the slightest fear: "If fear and despair were effective, what would be the point of our cultivation? Isn't cultivation about defying the heavens, transcending everything, and attaining eternity?"

"Whoever is manipulating fate in front of me, whether they are a god or a demon, I'll just kill them with one punch."

Upon hearing this, the four men were filled with awe and respect.

Lin Mo's mental state is far superior to theirs; he truly deserves to be called a contemporary powerhouse who can surpass them.

It's no wonder we lost to such a hero.

Unbeknownst to them, the four of them had lost some of their hatred for Lin Mo.

Lin Mo looked at the four weakened souls in the air and continued to ask, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Ji Chengyuan explained, "We don't know the specifics very well. We only know that the extraordinary beings come from beyond the heavens, and they need to undergo tribulations to cultivate there. We don't know what these tribulations are either."

Yan Kongji added, "In our memory, there is only one general concept, called 'Destiny Tribulation'."

Gu Zhuheng frowned and said, "Strange, how come I remember it as the [Crimson Dust Tribulation]?"

Chu Huaifeng denied it, saying, "No, I seem to remember it as the [Conversion Tribulation]."

"None of these are correct. It should be called the [Kalpa of Enlightenment]."

The four of them started arguing right there in the air.

The names of the calamities they recalled were different, making it difficult to convince each other, because they only trusted the fragments of memory they had captured.

Lin Mo frowned upon hearing this, then used his spiritual sense to enter the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror] and asked the Qiu Niang puppet, "What tribulations must one undergo after cultivating to the Spirit Realm?"

The Qiu Niang puppet opened its eyes and explained, "Only after the three tribulations are completed can one refine Qi and enter the Dao."

"The immortal sects refer to the three tribulations as the 'Crimson Dust Tribulation,' the 'Heavenly Dao Tribulation,' and the 'Destiny Tribulation.'"

"The Tribulation of the Mortal World is a tribulation for self-cultivation. Once the spiritual body is perfected, one must undergo this tribulation. If one passes this tribulation safely, one can understand one's mind and nature, use divine light as a guide, interact with the destiny of heaven, gather the Qi of the universe, and use Qi to manifest the Dharma."

"Only by gaining magical power can one be considered to have shed their mortal form and stepped one foot into the threshold of immortality."

"Next comes the process of condensing magical power, cultivating techniques, and gathering the rudiments of Daoist supernatural abilities. When one comprehends these supernatural abilities, one must undergo the Heavenly Tribulation."

"The Heavenly Tribulation consists of three calamities: Heavenly Thunder, Yin Fire, and Bi Wind. One uses the Heavenly Tribulation to temper one's supernatural powers. When the three calamities are completed, one's supernatural powers are fully accomplished."

"As for the [Destiny Tribulation], the death tribulation of immortal cultivators, I don't know the specifics, but perhaps the original body knows a little about it."

Lin Mo understood, and then asked, "The cultivation methods of the Jade Buddha Sect should be different from those of the Immortal Sect, right? And the names for the Three Tribulations should also be different, right?"

Qiu Niang nodded: "Indeed, they are different. The immortal sect cultivates immortality and refines qi, while the Buddhist sect practices meditation, which emphasizes breaking through illusions and seeking truth. The spiritual consciousness connects with the six heavens of the desire realm, and one is granted the path of Buddhist teachings."

"Actually, the essence remains the same no matter how things change. The first step is the same for all sects. Immortal sects cultivate the spiritual body, which they call forging the incense and fire Dharma body. The difference is that when Buddhist sects accept disciples, they do not look at the innate talent, but only at the affinity and wisdom. They do not place as much importance on spiritual talent as the immortal sects do."

"However, they also have to go through three tribulations, but the difference is that their three tribulations are different from ours."

"The first tribulation, which they call the 'Tribulation of Taking Refuge,' involves entering a state of deep meditation. A spark of one's true spirit will reincarnate into the mortal world, experiencing the trials and tribulations of the seven emotions and six desires. If, in the end, the true spirit achieves great success and is revered by all, yet still sees through the illusions of the mortal world, then one can take refuge, enter the Buddhist order, and use incense offerings to condense one's spiritual power."

"The second tribulation, the [Knowledge Awakening Tribulation], is the same as the essence of the immortal sects. It is about cultivating techniques and refining the prototype of supernatural powers."

"The third kalpa [the kalpa of meditation] is said to be the key to Bodhi's enlightenment. If one can pass through it, one can enter the eyes of the World-Honored One, receive the Dharma, and enjoy the path of Buddhism."

Lin Mo understood.

The two schools of thought have different paths of cultivation.

The Immortal Sect cultivates Qi, follows a path of personal optimization, and pursues the strength of the true self, without relying on external forces.

The Buddhist community follows the path of crowdfunding incense offerings. They believe that one person's strength is too insignificant, and it is faster to achieve enlightenment by pooling wisdom and collecting incense offerings.

However, to attain enlightenment through incense offerings, one must undergo tribulations in the mortal world. The mortal world is full of temptations, and if one cannot resist them, one will be consumed by desires and lose one's way in the mortal world.

The tribulations of immortals are more traditional. Heaven does not allow you to go against its will, so it will bring down tribulations, either to kill you by striking you or to burn you to death.

Just as Lin Moli was cultivating differently.

A clear, ethereal sound rang out.

The voice was clear and crisp, like the song of a nightingale; it was melodious and moving, yet it carried a chilling and menacing air.

"The four of you are talking too much."

The next moment, the four souls locked in the sky split open from between their eyebrows, and a karmic fire burst forth. The karmic fire burned and quickly spread all over their bodies.

In an instant, the souls of the four were reduced to ashes.

Lin Mo's expression hardened, and his spiritual sense immediately locked onto a beautiful, ethereal figure flying rapidly towards him.

The figure came from the imperial palace.

A beautiful figure appeared, stepping through the air and arriving in an instant.

She wore a dark gold-patterned dark blue palace dress that accentuated her graceful figure and slender curves. Her hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, and her beauty was otherworldly. Her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, but she was very indifferent and aloof, like a god or Buddha who was untouched by worldly dust.

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and glared at the sky, clearly displeased with this uninvited guest.

The next moment, a surge of magical power rippled through the world, and the souls of the four people, which had been burned to ashes, were instantly reassembled and pieced back together.

The souls were pieced together, but the spirit was gone; the four people's eyes were empty and blank, filled with confusion.

Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this scene.

Is this the blessed land of Qianshou in the Dream Ruins?

Even if one wanted to be completely destroyed, it wouldn't be possible.

However, with such a rebirth, all memories are lost, and the original personality may also cease to exist.

Meaningless!

Consort Xiao came to Lin Mo and saw that he was naked. With a wave of her hand, a monk's robe appeared out of thin air on Lin Mo's body. After covering him, she nodded in satisfaction and lowered herself down.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Mo, the Lamp-Guarding Disciple of the Jade Buddha Sect, I, Miaofa, greet you." Consort Xiao greeted Lin Mo: "You may be quite unfamiliar with me, but you may have heard of my other identity, I am from the Xiao Clan."

Consort Xiao?

Is it a clone of consciousness possessing the people of Qianshou?

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback, then came to his senses, returned the greeting, raised his bewildered face, and asked, "Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist, why did you harm these four people?"

With a wave of his hand, Miaofa sent the four souls into reincarnation. He then said to Lin Mo, "Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand. It's only because your memories are sealed that I was afraid you would be misled by the common people and lose your mind. That's why I took action."

"I will now unseal your memories and restore your true self."

"No need," Lin Mo thought to himself, realizing something was wrong, and quickly refused.

Unfortunately, Miao Fa didn't give him a chance to refuse.

Seeing the magic approaching him, Lin Mo hurriedly tried to retreat, but he was shocked to find that he could not move his body.

It was as if the world had transformed into a single steel ingot at that moment, and he was embedded within it, as if everything was sealed off.

His body was immobilized in place by an invisible force, and he was completely unable to move.

Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine. He wanted to activate the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror], but his body was restrained and he couldn't move, let alone enter the inner space.

Miao Fa appeared in front of Lin Mo in an instant and said with a light smile, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry, I have no intention of harming you."

Lin Mo was unable to move his body, but he could still speak. He asked in a deep voice, "What kind of magic is this?"

"This is the spell [Immobilize]."

As soon as the words of the wonderful Dharma finished, she lightly touched Lin Mo's brow with a finger.

In an instant, a surge of information rushed into Lin Mo's mind like a tidal wave, and a memory that did not belong to him was frantically imprinted into his mind.

His consciousness was being altered by unfamiliar memories.

Lin Mo grunted and cursed inwardly.

"The Jade Buddha Sect of Chishi!"
