Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1154 - 522: The Great Kashyapa Buddha of Impure Light, Wonderful Virtue’s Soul Coffin
[You asked White Elephant Senior Brother if he knew the background of "The Great Kasyapa Buddha of the Impure Light."]
[The White Elephant Demon returned to his senses and explained, "Junior Brother, that Buddha Kasyapa is one of the ten major disciples directly transmitted by the Buddha, the one among Buddha’s disciples who possesses the least attachment. The legendary story of ’a flower and a slight smile’ originates from this disciple of the Buddha."]
["The Great Kasyapa Buddha of the Impure Light," though not the top among Buddha’s disciples in strength, is still a Great Buddha who has achieved the second level of enlightenment.]
[Junior Brother, somehow you too have inexplicably achieved the second level of enlightenment. Although you can suppress the Awakened Vajra Bowl due to the difference in enlightenment levels, regardless of the depth of magical power, if you really were to contend against Buddha Kasyapa, you would probably be defeated immediately.]
"A Buddha who has achieved the second level of enlightenment is also an Eternal-Level True God..."
Lin Xun knew that the varying depths of magical power White Elephant Senior Brother referred to depended on the Shell level.
Although he had suddenly elevated his Soul level and Shell grade, allowing him to disregard certain level disparities and overpower the Immortal+ Level Awakened Vajra Bowl using his vast realm,
if he encountered Gods of the same grade, he would be overwhelmed by their level, leaving his chances of winning incredibly slim.
To narrow the level gap, there were two methods for rapid advancement.
The first was to possess higher-level enemies after slaying them, such as executing the Five Haemothers and Awakened Vajra Bowl, whose Shell grades were undoubtedly much higher than his.
However, this method required traveling to Bliss Heaven in the West to slay the true Dharma Bodies of the Gods.
When Gods incarnate in the world, they mostly descend into stone statues filled with the Power of Incense Fire through avatar-like methods, using the power of incense fire to make the statue their temporary physical body. They seldom allowed their true Dharma Bodies to walk the earth.
Essentially, these stone god statues are not living entities. Lin Xun, whether in defeating the Haemothers, the Buddha Kasyapa or the Awakened Vajra Bowl, found that when the enemies died, they turned into shattered stone statues, thus preventing him from possessing the shells to rapidly upgrade using this method.
As for going to Bliss Heaven in the West, Lin Xun was still in a state of being hunted by the Bodhisattvas, and if he dared to enter the enemy’s lair again, it would undoubtedly be akin to delivering himself to their doorstep.
The second method was to let the Son of Evil continuously absorb Incense Fire Evil Thoughts, allowing him to idle and raise his level.
This is what Lin Xun had been doing, collecting the Power of Incense Fire from both Li Family Village and Uss City, producing a continuous flow of Incense Fire Evil Thoughts daily to provide experience for the Son of Evil.
However, these Gods had been occupying the incense fire of a city for years while he, an outsider from the skies, did not have much time to waste. To quickly rise in level, he needed to widen his scope and gather the incense power from several more cities.
The quantity of Incense Fire Evil Thoughts is related not only to the number of monsters in a city but also to the average level of those monsters within it.
A level 50 regular monster offers less Incense Fire Evil Thoughts compared to a level 80 monster. Initially, Uss City’s total incense offering surely couldn’t match that of Longyuan City, as Longyuan City has both a higher number of monsters and a higher level of monsters compared to Uss City.
Lin Xun opened his inventory to check the special props he had obtained from previous rewards.
Using "Vajra Bodhi Seeds," he spent 557 points of Auspiciousness Value, maxed out the drop rate, resulting in a massive loot explosion after defeating the Vajra Haemother, and even forcibly exchanged for a Divinity Prop.
Now that he had dealt with the Awakened Vajra Bowl and manually tampered with the drop rate again, not only did he cover most of the battle scores, but he also accumulated the Auspiciousness Value back up to 339/1000.
The loot dropped by the Vajra Haemother included spirit enhancements, crafting materials, forging materials, a weapon, two Immortal Props, one Special Prop, and one Material Prop, truly a grand harvest.
["The Vajra Knife of Eliminating Six Fundamental Troubles" (Immortal Level Weapon): A Buddhist attack-type Magical Artifact resembling an ax, typically wielded by female deities such as the Buddha Mother, Consort, or Haemothers. The handle is pestle-shaped, extending into an axe-like blade and edge.]
[Female Shells wielding this weapon receive a substantial increase in damage, whereas male Shells only gain a slight increase.]
[Special Skill—Exterminate Six Desires: Using the profound Prajna to eliminate the six fundamental desires of greed, anger, folly, arrogance, doubt, and evil views, this special skill greatly consumes the magical power (energy value) of the user’s Shell, eliminating most negative states for Immortal+ level and lower grades of Shells.]
"The Nine-tailed Fox has been merged with the Fox Ancestor’s tail for some time now; if it could successfully advance, gifting it this weapon would be ideal."
"Although they don’t match perfectly, it’s still usable for now. I can replace it when I find a better weapon..."
["The Blissful Gabala Bowl" (Immortal Level Prop): This bowl, crafted from the skullcap of a great magical power bearer and a series of precious materials, is an internal skull vessel usually required during consecration ceremonies. However, this Gabala Bowl is not merely a mundane Magical Artifact, it possesses unknown special features.]
[This prop can contain the Lifeblood of practitioners (whether they practice Buddhism, Daoism, or demonic systems) and control the master of the Lifeblood with the unique effects of the Magical Artifact, issuing various orders.]
[This prop can control enemies up to the Immortal level, and when you possess "The Book of Technique of Desire and Emptiness" and use this technique to capture the enemy’s Lifeblood, the control effect can be enhanced up to Immortal+ level.]
[The Lifeblood currently contained in this prop is from: "Black Ruga Conscious Bowl Vajra," and this prop can hold the Lifeblood of up to three individuals.]
"Now this is indeed a fine item," Lin Xun’s eyes brightened.
