From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Ru Song and the others had heard about Jiang Liu's innate abilities, but they never expected that his destiny as a child prodigy was so peculiar, actually aligning with the principles of alchemy cultivation.

The cultivation of alchemy is also about cultivating life and nature. These five gods are just images, but Jiang Liu seems to have materialized them in his inner vision.

Do not!

This is clearly a mutation in the spirit and soul of someone with a "child spirit destiny"!

But the emergence of five independent beings so perfectly suited to alchemy cultivation is a first in the world!

The five gods manifest.

Jin Gong guards the flowing river, breathing naturally with measured breath; the jade dragon transforms into a horse, circling beneath him, refining essence into qi to protect his primordial spirit.

These two protect the river's flow.

Meanwhile, the Monkey King, the Wooden Mother, and the Yellow Woman had already taken to the clouds and were heading towards the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon to fight.

It was truly a fierce battle, leaving the audience speechless.

But we see:

The azure dragon flicks its tail, the white snake spits out its tongue like a spear. In the interplay of blue and white, offense and defense are perfectly integrated!

The monkey wields its scepter, while the wooden mother forges her rake. Wood fuels the fire, and the fragrance of cinnabar fills the air!

Green scales scattered, white armor shattered, the Ruyi rake broke the dragon's form. The rake pierced the dragon's body to vent its resentment, the club struck the dragon's head to scatter its stubbornness. The battle raged until the sky darkened and thunder roared, the universe trembled and mountains shook.

Only Huang Po, amidst the swirling sand and wind, looked around and offered assistance.

The six eminent monks were terrified, and the four Taoist priests of Quanzhen fled in fear.

Without him.

It's just that everything in this interior scene of Jiangliu is too real, unlike those illusory dreams!

The invasion of external evils is like a demon from beyond the realm, wanting to conquer this place and usurp its nest. The five gods of the inner realm naturally do not want their home to be taken over by evil spirits, so they naturally fight back with all their might.

"Let us quickly recite the Treasure Chest Seal Dharani Mantra!"

Seeing that the two snake demons were at a disadvantage, Rusong immediately sat down and recited the Dharani Mantra of the Secret Whole Body Relic Box of All Tathagatas.

The same applies to the rest of the people.

The incantation transformed into peculiar hand seals in this realm, but instead of targeting the azure dragon and the white dragon, it circled around Jiang Liu's body.

At this moment, Jiang Liu seemed to have entered a state of selflessness and thoughtlessness. The five internal organs and five vital energies circulated within him, resonating with the five internal organs and five spirits. This allowed him to observe the battle between the Mind Monkey, the Wood Mother, the Yellow Woman, and the Azure Dragon and White Dragon, as if he had gained some insight into the merging principles of Buddhism and Taoism in alchemy.

The Wood Mother Pig, the Green and White Snake, and the Innate Heart Fire Ape.

To cultivate the Daoist and Zen nature and achieve combat prowess, one must obtain the spleen and earth element combined with the elixir essence.

The nine-toothed rake tills the fields, its green and white hues merging to form yin and yang. The iron rod, imbued with a single-minded devotion, aids in the formation of the elixir. Subduing the dragon and taming the water, the universe unites in peace, reaching a state of primordial harmony!

At this moment, Jiang Liu's physical appearance and mental state were in harmony, his strength and breath were perfected, and the nature of the nine orifices and the life of the eight meridians and five internal organs merged yin and yang, turning that nature and life into lead and mercury. The power of the five spirits was also condensed into one, perfectly round!

In addition, the Dharani Mantra of the Secret Relic Box of All Tathagatas' Heart, the light of the ancestral aperture shone brightly, illuminating the scene of Jiang Liu's body and mind.

Ru Song and the others were all awakened. Looking at the river again, their minds were shaken for a moment, but then they suddenly calmed down.

The Mind Monkey, the Wooden Mother, and the Yellow Granny had returned to Jiang Liu's side, and together with the Golden Duke and the Will Horse, they transformed into five streams of light that entered Jiang Liu's body.

The mind, like a monkey riding a horse, roams freely throughout the heavens.

The old woman gathers sand and soil, the mother tree plants medicinal herbs.

Jin Gong possessed a magnanimous spirit, and his loyal heart was clear as day!

A jade lotus suddenly emerged from beneath Jiang Liu's seat, lifting him up six zhang (approximately 33 meters) and transforming him into a lotus platform. A golden Dharma seal was placed upon his body, transforming into a blazing radiance.

When he opened his eyes, there was neither sorrow nor joy in them, but a faint Milky Way seemed to surround him, as if all the heavens and the myriad worlds were reflected in them.

All five aggregates are empty!

The Buddha's Mind!

As a Zen Buddhist, Ru Song believed that cultivation only required examining one's own heart. Upon seeing Jiang Liu's appearance, he felt that it resembled the Buddha, and his mind was filled with unparalleled tranquility.

Then, Jiang Liu lowered both hands to his abdomen, placing his right hand on his left hand with the tips of his two thumbs touching.

This is the meditation mudra!

Jiang Liu didn't know much about Buddhist hand mudras. The meditation mudra he formed at this moment was just an instinctive action after practicing the Dharani Mantra of the Secret Relic Box of All Tathagatas, where the ten fingers are connected to the heart.

After forming the meditation mudra, Jiang Liu, Ru Song, Lu Jin, and the others all found peace in their hearts, their spirits were elevated, and their minds were free from fear.

The azure dragon and the white dragon roared and howled, stirring up clouds and rain. In their roars, they summoned thousands of thunderbolts that struck downwards, but they were blocked by an invisible light membrane.

No matter how thick the lightning was, it could not break through.

The azure dragon roared and the white dragon howled, circling left and right, spewing fire, spitting thunder, or releasing poison, but none of them could penetrate it in the slightest and were blocked from entering.

At this moment, Jiang Liu remained motionless in meditation, his primordial spirit intact, his eyes calm and undisturbed, simply gazing silently at the azure dragon and the white dragon—

Let them do as they please, I will remain unmoved.

After that, Jiang Liu's hand seals changed again. He twisted his right thumb and middle finger together, and his left index finger and ring finger together, and then connected his little finger to the point where his right hand was twisted together.

This is the Dharma Seal.

"All things are impermanent. If one does not reform oneself, what is prosperous will inevitably decline. This is the principle of the world."

Jiang Liu spoke, his voice booming like thunder, “Since you are all dead and have no intention of self-reflection, you should return to nature and follow the natural cycle of the universe.”

"Where there is life, there is death; where there is death, there is life."

"Those who took your lives are long gone, dust to dust, ashes to ashes, why cling to them anymore?"

The blue dragon and the white dragon roared, their resentment hard to dissipate.

Jiang Liu was in a very special state of "enlightenment" at this moment, and he clearly realized:

These two were killed without cause, and naturally they harbored immense resentment. However, no matter how long the resentment lasted, it could not withstand the erosion of time. After a thousand years, they had long forgotten it. Not to mention that they had also obtained the Dharani Mantra of the Complete Relic Box Seal of the Heart Secret of All Tathagatas. Through their practice, they entrusted their spiritual essence to the Buddha's hair relic, which can be considered as their spirit being immortal.

However, after a great fire during the Fang La Rebellion in the Northern Song Dynasty, the pagoda was burned down once, and some of the magical spells inside the pagoda became ineffective, causing them great suffering.

After the tower was rebuilt, the magic seals were completed, but they were still incomplete compared to the original. The monks' chanting of sutras caused them immense spiritual pain, as if they were under a tight headband.

And so they persevered until the Ming Dynasty, when a great fire destroyed the tower again, finally giving them a period of peace.

But later, the monk came again, and he also invited the Quanzhen Taoist priests, and they came here to chant sutras every year.

At first, they just wanted to explain the situation to them, but they thought they were just confused and they were directly suppressed and beaten up, and then they were tortured by chanting scriptures.

After that, whenever monks or Taoist priests came to chant scriptures, they would voluntarily come out—

That's right!

The blue and white dragons practicing the Dharani Mantra of the Secret Relic Box of All Tathagatas can be completely ignored!

With only the core of the pagoda remaining, the monks and Taoists were merely chanting scriptures, focusing their thoughts on one person's inner world. They couldn't possibly draw the two women over; it was the women who wanted to come in on their own.

Nothing more!

They just wanted to teach the monks and Taoists a lesson!

Having endured so many years of torment, they didn't care about being beaten again. They wanted to let these monks and Taoists taste what it was like to be beaten!

# Chapter 242 The Five Seals of Shakyamuni (Part 2)

After figuring out the origins of the obsessions and resentments of the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon, Jiang Liu was stunned and almost withdrew from his state of "enlightenment".

So it was all a misunderstanding caused by the two fires?

However, Jiang Liu couldn't let the two of them attack Ru Song and the others—

People like Ru Song are not young, especially in his inner world, where their spiritual consciousness is exactly the same as their physical bodies, making it difficult for them to exert their cultivation in the area of ​​"sex".

If I were to get a severe beating from the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon...

They'll probably all turn into idiots!

He has to do it!

After the roars of the Azure Dragon and the White Dragon, they intertwined, creating a hurricane that stirred up the seabed, causing waves to rise and darken the sky. The Azure and White Dragons intertwined and rushed towards the river to kill each other.

Jiang Liu raised his hand to his chest, his fingers naturally extended, palm facing outward.

This is the Abhaya Mudra (gesture of fearlessness).

Facing the towering waves, Jiang Liu remained fearless and slowly extended his palm.

In the blink of an eye!

The wind and clouds disperse, the waves subside, and the sun shines brightly upon the world!

The black Qi flowing from the Azure Dragon and White Dragon's bodies was scorched and ignited when it touched the emitted light, causing them to writhe in agony.

Although Jiang Liu's outstretched palm was slow, it was able to manipulate the universe. It seemed so slow that it would take ten thousand years to reach the Azure Dragon and White Dragon soaring in the sky, but in reality, in the blink of an eye, he had already controlled the inner world and held the Azure Dragon and White Dragon in his palm. No matter how powerful they were in this inner world, they could not escape his grasp.

Therefore, the inner scene is Jiang Liu's inner scene.

“You have lived for a thousand years, yet you are still naive. You have not truly lived in this world. Come with me to cultivate.”

The gesture of fearlessness is also a way of showing great compassion to all beings.

The white dragon and the green dragon are also sentient beings.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liu flipped his right hand down and placed it on his right knee, his fingers touching the ground. The blue dragon and white snake he controlled were gently pressed under his five fingers.

This is the Demon-Subduing Seal.

After that—

The restless mind spews flames, the willful spirit is doused with cold water.

The Azure Dragon and the White Dragon were burned by fire and drenched by water. Under the tempering of fire and water, the resentment in the Azure Dragon's eyes dissipated, and the White Dragon's eyes shone with spiritual light.

Once their resentment and obsession dissipated, the black demonic aura vanished, leaving behind only two small green dragons and slender white dragons, each about the thickness of an arm and three to five meters long.

The cunning blue dragon and the agile white dragon both looked up at the flowing river.

Jiang Liu extended his hand naturally downwards, fingertips pointing down, palm facing outwards—

This is the wish-granting mudra.
