From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

It is said that the eight consciousnesses (the five consciousnesses of the physical body plus the consciousnesses of mind, manas, and alaya) are completely transformed into the four wisdoms of Great Mirror Wisdom, Equality Wisdom, Wonderful Observation Wisdom, and Accomplishment Wisdom. Combined with the ninth consciousness outside the eight consciousnesses, the Pure Consciousness, which is the Dharmadhatu Wisdom transformed from the Amala Consciousness, the five wisdoms are combined to achieve the dual Dharmakaya of "wisdom" and "principle" as Mahavairocana Buddha.

That is, if one can transform the ninth consciousness into the wisdom of the Dharma realm, and based on this, transform the other eight consciousnesses into the four wisdoms, then one will reach the state of "I am the Tathagata".

What is the ninth consciousness?

Simply put, this ninth consciousness represents the purity of the primordial spirit.

Only when the primordial spirit is pure and unmoved by external things can the remaining eight consciousnesses be transformed into the four wisdoms.

However, Jiang Liu is far from reaching the level of the Buddha's Dharma body, and the Buddha wheel that originated from that little monk is just a magic tool. It does not have the powerful effects of the Five Directions Wheel and can only be used for defense and healing.

After placing the Vampire's Touch, the special earring, and the Buddhist wheel into his storage ring, Jiang Liu followed his senses, carrying Zhao Yingkong's body, which was trapped in the inner world, and together with Duanmu Ying, found the direction where Lu Jin and the others were located, and quickly ran towards them.

"Brother Jiang!"

Fifty or sixty meters outside the market, Lu Jin saw Jiang Liu and Duanmu Ying and hurried over to greet them, asking in a low voice, "Did you make a bit too much noise just now?"

"This wasn't my doing; it was caused by the person on my back." Jiang Liu refused to take the blame.

"Jiang Liu, what's going on at the market? Did terrorists make bombs?" The moment Evelyn finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, carrying yellow sand and dust, knocking down the broken walls and ruins. Like dominoes, clouds of dust billowed out and drifted in the wind.

No matter how you look at it, Evelyn felt that it was definitely a disaster caused by a terrorist with extremely strong firepower.

But this shows that Evelyn overestimated the terrorists of that era. In particular, the British and French occupation of Egypt would have helped Egypt to eliminate terrorists and local warlords, otherwise it would have affected their ability to make money!

"Teacher Evelyn is such a joker. That explosion was caused by the beautiful girl I was carrying on my back!" Jiang Liu said the truth.

But Evelyn, O'Connor, and the warden were not about to believe it.

They assumed Jiang Liu was joking or trying to lighten the mood, and that the reason he was carrying Zhao Yingkong on his back must be because the girl had witnessed the brutality of the terrorists and fainted from fright!

"Let's get out of here quickly and head towards Hamunaptra! Otherwise, it'll be bad if the terrorists in the market catch up!"

The warden mounted his camel first and shouted to O'Connor, "You swine, lead the way! Gold awaits us!"

"You're the pig!" O'Connor retorted without hesitation. Seeing the warden draw his gun, he quickly shut his mouth, raised his hands, and walked to the front of the group, leading the camel slowly into the depths of the desert...

···

Outside the market, Zhao Zhuikong, now only half-dead, his exposed heart still pounding, opened his eyes, gasping for breath, and chuckled, "At the last moment, you still woke up, my little apple, to prevent her from killing me..."

Just wait!

I will definitely mend your soul... cough cough!

However, the pain from having half of his body broken is secondary; trying to repair it by squeezing out the body's potential when vitality is insufficient is nothing short of wishful thinking.

hiss--

The two-headed cobra emerged from the sand.

After the death of Gan Tian, ​​the captain of the Indian team, the two-headed cobra regained its freedom and initially fled far away, but now it has returned.

The sentient being, having gained intelligence, also understood the principle of "picking up bargains." With its two enormous heads held high, it clearly intended to devour Zhao Zhuikong.

"hey-hey!"

In the instant the two-headed cobra lunged to bite, Zhao Zhuikong chuckled twice. With his remaining hand, he grabbed one of the heads, biting off its throat and continuously devouring its blood. Leveraging his fourth-tier gene lock, he adjusted his internal energy system, rapidly digesting the snake blood and replenishing his life force, causing his injuries to heal quickly. His half-broken body was visibly recovering...

···

"This is where?"

Zhao Yingkong opened her eyes and found herself in a boundless space, but it was empty except for a mirror placed in the very center.

Weird!

Although this space was boundless, Zhao Yingkong could clearly feel that the mirror was standing right in the center of this space!

As she stepped forward, the upright mirror reflected Zhao Yingkong's figure, making her realize that this place was the deepest part of her consciousness.

And her memories have also undergone unknown changes...

"Is this our first meeting?" the girl in the mirror smiled slightly and asked.

"It's not exactly the first time. Although I'm not the kind of girl who's so vain that I look in the mirror every day, I have looked in the mirror before, and I've even talked to myself in the mirror." Zhao Yingkong said this in a very serious tone.

The girl in the mirror paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Looks like you've found some good companions..."

"Let's get straight to the point. What's your purpose in contacting me? Do you want me to give your body back? My answer is only three words: Impossible."

Zhao Yingkong plopped down, and a soft sofa automatically appeared behind her. With a grab, a glass of iced cola appeared. She then crossed her legs, sipping her cola while looking at the other person.

Despite the unbelievable situation, Zhao Yingkong found herself seemingly able to rival, or even be on par with, the dominant personality before her.

I carefully recalled Jiang Liu's words, and the feelings were etched into my memory. Memory gives birth to thought, and thought forms consciousness.

Based on these three steps, Zhao Yingkong discovered that the memories of the main personality "sealed" in the mirror were nothing more than fighting in harsh environments and accepting family missions to assassinate. The only memories worth reminiscing about were probably the memories of supporting each other with Zhao Zhuikong, Zhao Yukong, Zhao Ruikong, and others.

But how simplistic would the thought process be based on such a small amount of memory? And how fragile would the resulting consciousness be?

Zhao Yingkong now understands.

And what about her?

Her fabricated memories forged her resilient personality. Upon entering this infinite world, she encountered Jiang Liu, who exposed her illusory nature...

After a period of time, he made me realize what it truly means to live, and led me to learn martial arts from the Tang Clan, always accompanying me like a father or older brother.

She thoroughly enjoyed this time because it was a real and undeniable memory of her own personal experience!

During this period, there was sarcasm, concern, and even humor.

Although she hadn't experienced every kind of joy and sorrow, she felt truly at ease being with him.

And he was indeed a qualified master, imparting knowledge, teaching skills, and resolving her doubts. He was just a little stingy; even though she was his disciple, he wouldn't give her a single gift. Even the only Qi-body Xuanlong spear he possessed was lent to her by him. He even used the example of Bodhi Patriarch in *Journey to the West* sending Sun Wukong down the mountain, saying it was so that she could stand on her own in the future…

# Chapter 525 The Tribulation of Inner Demons (Part 2)

In short, these feelings shape memories, thoughts, and consciousness—

Zhao Yingkong.

It's no worse than the main personality.

The only drawback is that the main personality can mobilize more mental energy than her.

Upon seeing this, the girl in the mirror twitched her eyelids, sighed, and said, "You're overthinking it. I didn't want control of the body. I created you so that you could be reborn in my place... From the moment I fell into a deep sleep, I never thought of going out again."

"is it?"

Zhao Yingkong casually tossed the cola cup in her hand, stared directly at her reflection in the mirror, and coldly asked, "Then why did you intervene when I was about to deliver the final blow to Zhao Zhuikong, causing my attack to deflect slightly to the left, avoiding his heart?"

"The moment you entered this space, you should have learned the truth of everything. It wasn't his fault, but rather that Rui Kong's inner demons flared up... My inner demons also flared up and went berserk, killing many of my companions. In the end, Zhao Zhui Kong killed Rui Kong with my own hands. I didn't want to face reality, and it was only with the help of Rui Kong's last bit of power that you came into being..."

"Then you really are quite a coward."

Zhao Yingkong interrupted the other person, her face expressionless, and said coldly, "I am you, but I am not you. The false memories you constructed are just to make me bear the hatred for Zhao Zhuikong!"

Based solely on this—

I should have killed you!

"sorry······"

All the girl in the mirror could do was apologize.

"Someone told me that memories are false, but they also shaped the strength in my personality... Even though I don't want this strength, I still have to thank you."

At least, this resilience allowed me to persevere when I realized my memories and personality were fabricated, and with that person's help, I continued to move forward, ultimately creating a life that truly belonged to me.

Zhao Yingkong changed the subject, interrupting the other party again, and said calmly, "We can try to coexist, but I have to be in control!"

You, so cowardly—

I am no longer worthy to control this body!

And you should stop telling me what to do!

I am the master of my own life!

I decide who I like!

If your only purpose in meeting me is to make me let Zhao Zhuikong go the next time we meet, then forget about it!

Don't even think about taking over my body and having your heart swear to that crazy thing!

nausea!"

"This is my body too!"

A hint of anger appeared on the girl's beautiful face reflected in the mirror. "I've never blamed him, I..."

"You can't even face reality. You created a false version of me and instilled a non-existent memory in me. How can you be so cowardly as to have the courage to say that this body is yours?"

At least I endured the pain that should have been yours!

Isn't it his fault?

Why didn't you go and talk to him in person before?

Zhao Yingkong suddenly jumped up from the sofa, strode to the mirror, and threw a punch.

boom!

Ripples appeared on the mirror, causing the entire space to ripple.

Once the folds in the space had smoothed out, the girl in the mirror dared not look directly into Zhao Yingkong's calm eyes, and lowered her head.

"Get out of there!"

Zhao Yingkong raised her hand and threw another punch, slamming it hard onto the mirror surface. The ripples that spread out affected the entire mental world.

The turmoil within her inner world also affected her physical body, causing Zhao Yingkong's hands and feet to tremble slightly.

Jiang Liu, who was carrying Zhao Yingkong's body, sensed something and secretly connected with the light spot in her ancestral aperture. Using the effect of the Pure Sincerity Spiritual Light, he separated a wisp of consciousness and sent it directly into the depths of her mind—

"Don't do it!"

The girl in the mirror placed her hand on the mirror surface, her eyes sincere. "You have broken through to the fourth level and awakened the light of your soul. Your inner demon has been born. If the mirror breaks, you will have to face your inner demon. If you are affected by your inner demon and it takes effect, you will kill your companions."

"I believe in him!" Zhao Yingkong roared, raised her fist, gathered her mental strength, and slammed it hard into the mirror.
