Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1234 - 147: Cicada Country (Part 2)

Fan Yin Temple was established by a monk named "Qing Deng." These people have survived the apocalypse... In terms of cultivation realm, they should have reached the "Heavenly Human Realm," but after establishing the sect, leaving incense and legacy, they died very quickly.

In Da Sui Sword Palace, to see traces of the "First Master," one must enter Xuanshui Cave Heaven.

Similarly, the soul thought left by the Daoist Ancestor wanders only in Tianyuan Mountain.

The legacy of "Qing Deng" is naturally this Red Pearl Cicada Country.

After explaining the past of the Buddhist tradition, Chi Chanzi continued with this topic.

This cave heaven is quite special.

The reason it’s named "Red Pearl Cicada Country" is because a thousand years ago, Qing Deng had an ancient treasure that, upon awakening, transformed into a cicada. This cicada grew six wings and finally died alongside Qing Deng. The place where its remains were left transformed into this cave heaven... The six cicada wings correspond exactly to the six Buddhist divine powers.

Eye, Ear, Heart, Foot, Fate, Body.

"Red Pearl Cicada Country has six small cave heavens."

"For a thousand years, there are two ways to cultivate the Buddhist six divine powers..."

"One way is to mutilate one’s own body."

"Mi Yun cultivated the ’Divine Foot Power’ by cutting off his legs. This cultivation method is not possible for anyone without great fortune and great perseverance."

"For ordinary mortals, even if they resolve to cut their legs for cultivation, they can’t cultivate the ’Divine Foot Power’..."

"In fact, this corresponds to the current cultivation world. Among ten million mortals, only a thousand or so can cultivate, these thousand people favored by the heavens start their qi refinement journey as cultivators, known as ’people of fortune.’ Similarly, the Buddhist cultivation path also requires fortune; the strength of these six divine powers is by no means inferior to Bai Ze Great Saint’s ’Primordial Swallowing Divine Power,’ hence the cultivation of any Buddhist divine power must be bound tightly with ’fate.’ As the saying goes, ’what is destined to be will eventually be, what is not destined should not be forced.’"

Chi Chanzi’s statement is quite brutal, but very real.

If one is not fated with Buddhism.

Even if one breaks their legs, goes blind, or deaf, it will not bring any change.

If one is fated.

This is the cultivation of "Divine Foot Power," "Heavenly Vision," "Heavenly Ear Technique," all the pain will ultimately be rewarded.

"Of course, this is just the first method."

"People with resilient fate need little guidance. The divine powers naturally manifest. The Zen Master began cultivating these six divine powers in this way, enduring all the pain of the six divine powers forcefully and bringing them to great success... Only one person in a thousand years..."

"Even Qing Deng Ancestor Master couldn’t achieve this."

Upon hearing this.

Xie Xuanyi couldn’t help but ask: "Then what is the second method?"

"The second method is to use the ’Red Pearl Cicada Country’ to cultivate divine powers."

Chi Chanzi waved his sleeves, dispersing the heavy fog covering this realm.

After the Zen Master passed away.

He became the master of this cave heaven world.

With every gesture, divine thought enveloped, Red Pearl Cicada Country responds to his commands.

"The fate of this world is not immutable."

Chi Chanzi earnestly said: "The destinies of people are like flowing water, floating lines... If everything was predetermined, the act of my Master burning his fate to step into the River of Destiny would be pointless..."

That’s the reason.

Fate lines can fluctuate.

In Petal World, Han Li was under the Crown Prince, Chen Chong was the strongest fighter in the battle to destroy Buddha. Now, both of these people have joined the Fan Yin Temple camp.

"A beggar was supposed to freeze and starve to death. But perhaps because he picked up a piece of Jade, he might go to the pawnshop and sell it, to live two more days. But it could also be that picking up this piece of Jade got him directly killed by robbers on his way. In the River of Destiny, such things happen repeatedly, with all sorts of possibilities..."

Chi Chanzi simply explained.

He had seen too many such scenes.

"The meaning of the Red Pearl Cicada Country’s existence is to allow those without fate to gain fate, those without destiny to gain destiny."

Chi Chanzi paused and said word by word: "After all... this is the supreme treasure left behind by Qing Deng Ancestor Master. Cultivators entering the Red Pearl Cicada Country, at the moment they step into Buddha Country, have already established a relationship with Buddhism."

"So..."

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows: "Entering Red Pearl Cicada Country allows cultivation of the Six Great Divine Powers?"

"Correct. Xiao Xie has good understanding."

Chi Chanzi smiled and said: "As long as one enters Red Pearl Cicada Country, one possesses the qualification to cultivate the Six Great Divine Powers. In the past, the main sect of Fan Yin Temple would send the youngest and most potential cultivators into this place every sixty years."

In this regard, it coincides with the Thirty-three Cave Heavens.

The Ancestors of the Three Religions left extremely powerful creations for their descendants.

"Miao Zhen’s divine power, Hidden Cicada’s divine power..."

"Were all cultivated in this way."

Chi Chanzi said: "Actually, most Buddhist disciples have unique monastic names. But I am an exception."

"Oh?" Xie Xuanyi seemed puzzled.

"The name ’Chi Chanzi’ has existed for a thousand years."

Chi Chanzi smiled, his eyes a bit desolate, somewhat lonely, and somewhat helpless.

"A thousand years ago."

"When Qing Deng created this ’Red Pearl Cicada Country,’ a ’Chi Chanzi’ accompanied him. The cicada grew six wings, and from these wings came the Buddhist divine powers. When Qing Deng burned out, only ashes remained on the ground, and it was time for ’Chi Chanzi’ to fulfill his mission."

"The mission of ’Chi Chanzi’ is actually very simple."

"To guard in this six-winged Buddha Country, bridging the gap for those with fate worldwide."

Chi Chanzi looked at Xie Xuanyi, "In a thousand years, there have been nine Chi Chanzi in Buddhism. I... am the ninth."

It’s not unwillingness to die, nor fear to die.

But cannot die.

With eyes wide open watching eleven senior brothers burn their lives to inject vitality into the Golden Coffin.

Chi Chanzi can only sit alone in this Buddha Country... because from the beginning, from the moment he was bestowed with this "monastic name," his mission was already set in stone.

"I am the last protector of the Buddha Country."

"Also the sole guardian of Fan Yin Temple Cave Heaven."

Chi Chanzi solemnly said: "Should the battle in Wu State end with Fan Yin Temple’s defeat, and the main sect is leveled, the last person to die in battle will certainly be me... As long as I live, the Red Pearl Cicada Country will exist, then it won’t matter if all Buddhist temples are destroyed."

The last wisp of incense of Buddhism remains here.

As long as the Red Pearl Cicada Country exists.

The "Life Fate" of Buddhism remains.

Although the battle may damage vitality.

As long as the Red Pearl Cicada Country is there, slowly, future generations will pass through this Buddha Country Cave Heaven, cultivate the Buddhist divine powers, and thereby continue the incense of Buddhism.

"If I die."

"Then... Nalan Xuance will succeed." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Actually, over in Qian State, they have been eternally thinking of destroying the ’Buddha.’"

"It’s not the main sect of Fan Yin Temple."

"But... the Red Pearl Cicada Country."

Those temples, ultimately, are just mortal constructions.

Knock them down and they can be rebuilt.

The ancient temples that have stood through a thousand years of trials are indeed precious.

But more precious is the hope buried deep in people’s hearts...

Nalan Xuance understands better than anyone.

What does it mean to destroy Buddha?

For three years.

Almost all temples within Yuan Province have been destroyed. Fires have spread across the North Five States, and all ancient Buddhist temples have been razed.

Is this a successful destruction of Buddha?

It is not.

Even if the Wu State decisive battle leads to the fall of the main sect of Fan Yin Temple, so what?

To make people’s hearts devoid of Buddha.

To prevent the birth of Buddhist cultivators on this earth.

There is only one way.

Destroy the "Red Pearl Cicada Country," sever the fate of Buddhism with the people!

From then on, no one would ever be able to cultivate Buddhist divine powers...

Those with resilient fates, who rely on their own understanding to cultivate divine powers, are but a minuscule minority.

But if the Red Pearl Cicada Country is overturned, any so-called "Buddhist Divine Power Practitioner" discovered within the Da Li Dynasty will be immediately killed by the Hook and Clamp Master.
