Secret Buyer-Chapter 318 - 243: Cyan Lamp and Candle Flame Before the Buddha, Kunlun Yuxu Golden Bell
Until he sat down heavily on the meditation mat.
This uncontrollable "disintegration" then slowly ceased.
"It’s terrifying..."
Zhang Fusheng gasped heavily, having almost died just now, dying in his own Divine Realm!
What level of treasure is this Heaven and Earth Chessboard?
So many causes and effects attached... if I place a piece on it, wouldn’t all causes and effects be triggered together?
What would happen then?
He couldn’t imagine.
"Kunlun Yuxu..."
Zhang Fusheng pondered, his body already returning to normal, and the four furnace fires began to burn steadily again.
Should I give up first?
This thought popped into his mind, as exploring the Heaven and Earth Chessboard was indeed too dangerous, yet the Kunlun Yuxu was right there in front of him!
For Zhang Fusheng to give up, he could hardly do it.
"Continue!"
Zhang Fusheng steeled his heart, trying every possible way to strengthen himself. He took out the wisp of candle flame given by his master Yuan Feidao,
a flame from the Celestial Position of Maitreya Buddha, which, at a glance, was filled with endless purity.
After a brief contemplation,
Zhang Fusheng did not merge this wisp of pure candle flame with his own Heaven and Earth Furnace Fire—too dangerous.
This thing’s level seemed terrifyingly high, he suspected it came from the Cyan Lamp in front of the Buddha.
Fuse it with the Great Sun Golden Lamp in his eyes?
Also very dangerous, a single mistake, and he might catch his whole body aflame, leaving him without even a chance to knock on the Gate of the Past to remedy it.
"Only you now."
Zhang Fusheng manipulated this wisp of pure candle flame, slowly, slowly, merging it with the semi-materialized Great Sun behind his head.
Unexpected success.
Almost at the moment of merging.
Zhang Fusheng suddenly found himself dazed, as if a boundless World Venerate Tathagata appeared before him, a true Buddha!
But then,
that Buddha became "small" again.
More accurately, it wasn’t so massive and vast, no longer occupying his entire vision—Position.
Sitting on the meditation mat, his own Position was immensely high.
"Compassion, compassion."
The Buddha’s illusory figure he saw in a daze seemed to open its eyes, gaze at him, and then bowed once.
"Taoist Friend Taiqing, you are well."
A voice of incomparable clarity and truth sounded by his ear.
Zhang Fusheng’s hair stood on end, and the hazy illusory shadow before his eyes vanished,
looking around bewilderedly, he was shocked to realize that the Great Sun Wheel behind his head was now imbued with a great sense of purity,
he even felt as if he truly were the Buddha.
Zhang Fusheng closed his eyes, joined his palms together, and quietly sensed.
For a long time.
He naturally understood, murmuring as he spoke:
"That wisp of candle flame really came from the Cyan Lamp in front of the Buddha, but it wasn’t from Maitreya Buddha, rather it was..."
"Shakyamuni Tathagata."
"It’s Shakyamuni Tathagata, the Cyan Lamp before the Tathagata Buddha."
A great confusion surged in Zhang Fusheng’s heart,
why would a wisp of candle flame from the Cyan Lamp before Shakyamuni Tathagata be drawn from the Maitreya Celestial Position?
He didn’t understand.
After studying for half a day, he still couldn’t figure out what changes had occurred to the Great Sun Wheel after fusing with the candle flame of the Buddha’s Cyan Lamp,
Zhang Fusheng decided to bear this circle of light wheel, without restraining it at all, and walked out of the Eight Sceneries Palace.
In an instant.
Buddha’s Light illuminated thousands of miles.
The Death Qi flowing on the Divine Realm’s land was instantly suppressed, and the Divine Realm, which had nurtured the appearance of the Nine Netherworld,
unexpectedly showed signs of transforming into the Buddha’s Pure Land!
Zhang Fusheng jumped back in fright, quickly restraining the Great Sun Wheel behind his head.
"Damn..."
He muttered, walking into Five Mansions Temple, once again lifting the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
The Great Sun Pure Light Wheel arose behind his head again.
His mind carefully and cautiously reached towards the chessboard.
At the moment of touch.
Zhang Fusheng felt as though struck by lightning, but this time, the light wheel behind him radiated pure light,
providing him temporary protection against the terrifying torrent of information brought by the endless causes and effects!
Zhang Fusheng coughed blood, his mind, through his hands, using the power of Touching Void, maneuvered amidst the infinite causes and effects on the chessboard.
At this moment.
As if informed by heaven and earth, or as if confessed by the chessboard,
he naturally understood how to use the chessboard to find Kunlun Yuxu.
And it was very "simple."
"Kunlun Yuxu, the dwelling of Primordial Celestial Venerable."
"Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Cause of All Results, the beginning of everything..."
Lines upon lines of information from the Heaven and Earth Chessboard flashed through his mind.
"So, Kunlun Yuxu transcends ’above cause and effect’, akin to the splendid Eight Sceneries Palace above all..."
"But there is an exception."
"The Heaven and Earth Chessboard."
Zhang Fusheng fell into silence, in the infinite causes and effects of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard, there was a cause related to Kunlun Yuxu,
bestowed by Primordial Celestial Venerable himself, allowing Zhen Yuanzi to enter Kunlun Yuxu at any time.
Therefore,
he only needed to accurately find that one cause related to Kunlun Yuxu among this infinite web of causal lines.
Hehe.
Zhang Fusheng was about to give up, but stopped abruptly.
He closed his eyes, murmuring in a low tone:
"Ever since I embarked on the path of cultivation, I always encounter various coincidences, as if being pushed by a tide of great momentum."
"I’ll try just once."
Zhang Fusheng opened his eyes, murmuring calmly:
"I will only touch one cause, if it succeeds, it succeeds; if not, I won’t try again."
"Let me see... is it all coincidence, or is it predestination?"
As his words fell.
The thought pierced into a cause in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard.
It failed.
It wasn’t Kulun Yuxu’s cause.
Zhang Fusheng’s old face fell:
"Try again!"
It failed again.
"Third time’s the charm, last try!"
It still failed.
He dropped his face, yet his heart was at ease—a relief that he didn’t hit the soul in one go, precisely targeting Kunlun Yuxu’s cause from the vast web of causality.
The implication of that would be too terrifying—it would mean everything about him might be under the watchful eye of some existence.
That every action might be "predetermined."
It’s good that it isn’t, it’s good that it isn’t.
Zhang Fusheng indeed no longer intended to try, the number of causes in the Heaven and Earth Chessboard already exceeding the limits of numbers.
If one were to write the exact number on paper, the paper would likely be vaster than the universe.
In such a situation, finding Kunlun Yuxu’s cause by tracing one causal line after another?
Forget about it!
Before withdrawing his thought, Zhang Fusheng decided to give it one last try.
It still failed.
Try once more.
Hmm.
It succeeded.
An inconspicuous strand of causal line was wrapped by his thought, pinched by his fingers.
Zhang Fusheng stood stiffly on the spot, the Great Sun Pure Light Wheel behind his head flickered unsteadily.
"Is it real..."
He murmured to himself, eyes reflecting a dark hue, utilizing the Taiyi Chapter, gazing along this strand of causal connection—
Thus.
He saw an indescribable Divine Mountain.
He saw an unimaginable Taoist Palace.
A golden bell hung before the Taoist Palace’s gate, the plaque on the door bore the characters—Jade Void.
The Taoist Palace’s door was open, inside was just a small quiet room.
A quiet room Zhang Fusheng had seen countless times.
The quiet room housed a small table, three cups of tea, three meditation mats.
On the table were a small sword, a small tower, and a Jade Ruyi.
The quiet room inside the Now Gate of Eight Sceneries Palace, at this moment, simultaneously appeared within the Jade Void Palace.
Zhang Fusheng was dazed and lost.
He didn’t know how to pass through the causal link to get there, it was far beyond what he could currently accomplish.
But he clearly saw.
Outside the Jade Void Palace, outside the quiet room,
on the golden bell before the palace gate, densely engraved words.
Primordial Scripture.
Containing the Taiyi Chapter, as well as all the other Chapters of the complete Primordial Ancient Scripture.
It was right before his eyes.
Allowing him to read, memorize, and cultivate at will.
