Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 567 - 309: I Come, Not to Bring Peace on Earth, but to Bring the Sword_2
"Such a terrifying divine artifact."
He couldn’t help but sigh.
The Sword Master chuckled and said, "Put your hand on it, Patriarch Bart will guide you to receive the inheritance of the visualization technique."
He nodded and placed his hand on the Hell Dragon Pearl.
In the next moment, the Hell Dragon Pearl emitted a dazzling light, and his consciousness seemed to be pulled into endless space, where various concepts of the visualization technique clashed fiercely in his mind.
However, as he was immersed in the inheritance, he did not notice that the Patriarch Bart, who originally didn’t come to the scene, appeared beside the Sword Master, drenched in sweat.
The Sword Master glanced at Bart and was taken aback, "Old man, didn’t you say you wouldn’t show up for this inheritance?"
Bart’s face flushed red, and he nearly shouted, "Do you think I want to show up? Giving the Jean Family’s accumulated visualization techniques to help him complete his exclusive technique has already caused dissatisfaction among many in the family."
"Then why are you here? I deliberately didn’t choose the Sword Courtyard." The Sword Master scratched his ear, looking speechless.
"The Hell Dragon Pearl lost control after he touched it." Bart Jean said through gritted teeth.
The Sword Master’s casual movements halted, "What did you say?"
"I said... Usually, only the Patriarch can use a special method to refine and use the Hell Dragon Pearl. Now half of the control has been taken by him."
The Sword Master didn’t want to speak at this point; he just felt that Bart was joking with him.
What a joke, if their family’s guardian stone could be easily taken control of by someone else, then what’s the point of playing any games?
But seeing Patriarch Bart drenched in sweat, it was clear he wasn’t joking.
The Sword Master looked at Louis, and his expression started to turn horrified.
What exactly did this guy do to directly seize control of the guardian stone?
This is bad!
The Sword Master was also dumbfounded.
A Weapon Master is called a Weapon Master for a reason; you need weapons in your hands.
Curse Swordsmen rarely fight unarmed throughout the series of battles.
Fully utilizing the advantage of humans using weapons is the philosophy of the Curse Swordsmen, and the visualization technique itself can even strengthen the bond between humans and weapons, further advancing combat skills.
But now, there’s an anomaly in the industry.
His skills are formidable, and what’s more, he can seize control of the weapons that the Curse Swordsmen regard as treasures.
This person... is truly dangerous.
The Sword Master understood this point and made a secret decision in his heart.
It’s no longer a matter of whether to engage in battle with Louis; it’s now necessary to have a proper fight with him for the sake of preventing young people of the empire from dying innocently by such unknown methods in the future.
Meanwhile, Louis, immersed in the Hell Dragon Pearl, recalled the events after his spiritual ability breakthrough (refer to Chapter 206).
At that time, in a daze, he recalled someone mentioning to him that ’Journey to the West’ is about one person’s practice.
At that moment, he knew, "The Buddha is not far on Ling Mountain; Ling Mountain is just within your heart."
A certain Patriarch of the Jean Family once said that the essence of the visualization technique is actually to calm the mind, to affirm one’s true inner thoughts, to restrain the mind, even if it causes pain, it would still have a magical effect in sharpening one’s will.
This reminded him of the Incantation of Fixation, the "Tightening Spell."
The Tightening Spell causes Wukong, who represents the "restless heart," pain, through which he returned to the right path of the Seventy-Two Transformations.
And the Great Sage killed six bandits right after setting out.
Their names were ’Seeing Joy’, ’Hearing Anger’, ’Smelling Love’, ’Tasting Thoughts’, ’The Body’s Suffering’, ’The Opinion of Desire’, which correspond to the six senses.
Killing the six senses, indicating the purification of the six senses is the essence of the sutra quest.
And the little white dragon is like willpower. Human willpower gallops like a wild horse, and only by clarifying the direction forward can one wholeheartedly attain the true sutra.
Subduing the little white dragon achieves the unity of mind and will.
As long as mind and will are unified, and resolve is firm, there is no Western Heaven that cannot be reached.
At this moment, he realized.
On the Western Heaven Road, before Wukong begs for alms, he often draws a circle on the ground. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
He said, "This circle that Old Sun draws is stronger than that bronze wall and iron fortress. No matter what tigers, leopards, or wolves, demons or monsters, none dare approach."
This is the method of visualization for setting boundaries for one’s own behavior, just as deities must adhere to their codes, voluntarily setting boundaries for the "heart."
Because the human body, Tang Monk, would always be led by desire, Pigsy, unconsciously deviating from the boundary set by the inner heart, Wukong.
Once beyond the boundary, various heart demons appear, which are the monsters.
Thus, Wukong can only vanquish demons and exorcise the heart demon.
The journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is a process of eliminating heart demons, and the process of visualization techniques restraining the heart and strengthening oneself is the same.
The Bear Monster is a heart demon; Wukong’s anger led him to set fire to the Guanyin Zen Temple, and thus appeared the heart demon hindering his enlightenment, the Black Bear Monster appeared.
The Bull Demon King is also a heart demon, Red Boy, Bull Demon King, Flame Mountain are all flames on the heart. The Bull Demon King is sworn brothers with Wukong and equally matched in strength, so getting angry is fighting with oneself.
The cause of the formation of Flame Mountain was a fiery tile kicked down by Wukong in the early years, the great fire of Flame Mountain was set by Wukong to vent after the Eight Trigrams Furnace, but ultimately it burned himself.
This was born of Wukong’s youthful mischievous heart, so it is said, "The Bull King is fundamentally the heart monkey transformed," one must "break the mischievous mind to see the Buddha’s face."
In a trance, a glimmer of inspiration surged within his dark heart.
In the blink of an eye, Louis recalled his experiences over the years like a revolving lantern.
His unremarkable past life, his rebirth fraught with danger, struggling to survive, breaking free from the fate of the guillotine...
