Chapter 288 I am only for myself, the Dharma is only in the mind

Chapter 288 I am only for myself, the Dharma is only in the mind (ask for a monthly ticket at the end of the month~)

As expected of a rare treasure in the world, the Xuanpin Pearl emitted a mysterious light, which immediately cast a cool atmosphere, making Cheng Xinzhan feel much better.

This bead really arrived at the right time.

Cheng Xinzhan sighed.

With the protection of the beads, Cheng Xinzhan found it much easier to overcome the tribulation. This was already the second and third wave of thunder tribulation, and he was still able to handle it with ease. Therefore, he could also devote his attention to observing this strange tribulation fire.

It's really strange that the fire is burning from the inside out.

From the inside out.

From the inside out!
Cheng Xinzhan's face changed. The lightning-attracting formation on the Iron Summit of Nine Mountains certainly took advantage of the geographical location, but thunder was also the power of heaven, and it was a calamity like the "Purple Sky Five-Nine Heavenly Fire Thunder Tribulation", which was fierce and overbearing. According to his original calculations, it would be great if he could withstand the first wave of six thunder tribulations. At that time, if the Iron Summit showed signs of melting and cracking, he would retract the iron halberd.

But how come it is that now we have reached the second and third waves, and the Iron Summit of the Nine Mountains still looks safe and sound?

Could it be that a fire from heaven is burning inside the mountain?
He immediately used his divine sense to explore the mountains.

really!

His divine sense suddenly saw that inside Tiecha Mountain, red flames were burning fiercely, and had burned out a hole that was a hundred feet square!

Cheng Xinzhan sighed in his heart. It was really hard to guard against. If he was careless, he would be caught. If he hadn't been alert early, the mountain would have collapsed by the time the second wave of thunder was over. Not to mention the cause and effect, when the golden elixir suddenly faced the thunder, it would also cause problems.

"go with!"

Cheng Xinzhan pointed to the sky and raised the gourd. The gourd grew in the wind and stood on top of the golden elixir and iron halberd like a small mountain.

Cheng Xinzhan also wanted to take this opportunity to let the gourd be influenced by the magical power of this strange calamity fire, so that it can undergo some changes and naturally absorb as much calamity thunder as possible.

With the gourd on top, Cheng Xinzhan quickly pinched the seal to retract the iron halberd, and at the same time distracted himself to watch the fire in the mountain.

It was very strange that the fire could burn inside dense stones, making the mountain hollow. The stones were also burned into nothingness and disappeared.

Fire in stone!
Looking at the flames burning in the cave in the mountain, Cheng Xinzhan suddenly realized, isn't this the fire in the stone?
Fire in the Stone is a strange fire from outer space, on par with Fire in the Sky. This strange fire was first discovered in the heart of stone in meteorites from outer space, hence the name. It also has another name, "Heartless Sky Candle". This fire can burn everything, and no movement can be seen from the outside. Once it is contaminated, it starts to burn from the inside until everything it is attached to is burned into nothingness.

Cheng Xinzhan didn't expect that his fire disaster would be this kind of strange fire.

Now that he knew what kind of fire it was, he would have a basis for dealing with it. Although this fire was extremely rare, he had heard his master mention that this kind of fire could only be extinguished by freezing the burning object with eternal ice.

Although he did not have the ready-made eternal ice on his body, he had the "North Pole Cold Light Evil" born from the eternal ice.

So, he moved his mind, and the cold evil spirit spread along the cracks in the rocks to the hollow of the mountain, leaving frost along the way. When the evil spirit penetrated into the hollow, he pinched the seal and cast a spell, reciting a spell,
"lonely!"

It is the Taiyin spell.

Thus, in the hole burned by the fire in the stone, the white evil spirit condensed in the air and turned into crystal clear ice, which quickly filled the hole and froze all the stone walls at the edge of the hole.

It worked as expected. As Cheng Xinzhan continued to inject cold evil and Taiyin magic power, the flame that was still burning quietly on the stone after the thunder stopped injecting into the mountain finally stopped and dissipated in the hole.

This is the only way for now. I can fill the void another day and first get through the calamity of cleansing the elixir.

So far, nothing has happened to the golden elixir under the protection of the gourd. The golden elixir has been in danger, and the thunder and fire are burning the golden elixir inside and out indiscriminately. There is not a single drop of the entire golden elixir left, so naturally there is no situation where the inside is burned out while the outside is fine.

However, the burning pain from the inside out was actually felt on Cheng Xinzhan's body. By the time the second wave of thunder ended, the gourd was already shaking slightly in the air, as if it was drunk. Even the Xuanpin Pearl could not suppress the pain in Cheng Xinzhan's body.

When the third wave of thunder arrived, he took back the gourd and at the same time summoned the two magic swords "Gao Zhen" and "Huo Lian Chi Xiao". Since it was a fire thunder disaster, he would let these two swords be refined to accumulate some heavenly thunder and fire.

Naturally, each thunderbolt was stronger than the last, and the burning sensation on Cheng Xinzhan's body became more and more unbearable. Even with the Xuanpin Pearl, it was still a bit torturous.

"lonely!"

He also used the methods he used to put out the wildfire on himself. The "North Pole Cold Light Evil" poured down from the Yin Palace. In addition to that, he also activated the "Rain and Rain"

The Moon Goddess flew out of the Water Palace, Yu Gang turned into a green tiger, and Han Sha turned into a white dragon. They were led by Emperor Taiyin to wander around the body and dispel the heat.

In the spine, the inner spirit of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun fiddled with the willow branches, which also cast a clear light and relieved the pain of bone melting.

The two magic swords withstood eight thunders and began to wail. Cheng Xinzhan did not take any risks. He put away the magic swords and sacrificed a magic robe.

This is the robe bestowed upon him by the sect when he became the Master of All Dharmas.

Purple shawl.

It was a purple robe with a large collar and wide sleeves. The front of the collar was embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon and stars in gold thread. On the chest was the scenery of Mount Sanqing, and on the back was the Yin-Yang Bagua diagram.

After he was given the position of Master of the Wanfa Sutra, he wore this robe once, when he went to the Wanshou Palace. This was also the first time he used this robe as a magic weapon.

After he sacrificed it, the robe grew longer in the wind. In a blink of an eye, it covered an area of ​​dozens of miles and even covered the entire Tiecha Mountain.

The robes seemed like a purple cloud covering the top of the mountain. The sun, moon and stars above seemed to come alive, floating in the purple cloud. The Tai Chi diagram slowly rotated on the top of the mountain, flashing with Dharma light.

"boom!"

The last thunder of the third wave fell like a waterfall of fire, rushing into the purple clouds.

However, although Zixia looked frivolous, she held up the fire waterfall steadily. The rotation of the Tai Chi diagram became faster, like a yin-yang millstone, sucking in the thunder on Zixia and dissipating it.

Cheng Xinzhan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this robe would have such great power.

It was not until the fourth wave of heavenly tribulation ended that the Tai Chi diagram on the robe slowly stopped. Cheng Xinzhan understood that the robe had reached its limit.

But this already made him very satisfied, and taking advantage of the power of the robe, he put all the magic weapons on his body except the book and umbrella under the robe and survived the heavenly tribulation.

Among them, the two flying swords had reached a bottleneck after being nurtured by mana and tempered by the energy of the evil spirit day and night. Now, after being forged by the calamity fire, their quality had been raised to a higher level.

Taodu went from being tangible to being intangible, completing two transformations. Youdu went from being intangible to being tangible, starting the second round of transformations.

And in this way, there is only the last wave of thunder tribulation left, and the newly refined Earth Book and Sky Umbrella can be more relaxed without having to be pushed to the limit right from the start.

Looking at the golden elixir at this time, it has condensed from the size of a chicken egg to the size of a pigeon egg.

The pattern on the golden elixir was also changing. Previously it was a pattern of a soaring dragon and a leaping tiger, symbolizing the yin and yang energy and the legal, spiritual and physical form that formed this golden elixir.

Now it is blurry and unclear, as if the lightning had wiped out the original patterns and was carving something new on it. It is not yet finished.

As the foundation of the great way that comes from the interaction between heaven and man, the golden elixir naturally has unique patterns on it. Cheng Xinzhan was able to condense it into the form of a dragon and a tiger from the very beginning, which had already surpassed too many people.

Most people's golden elixir has spots and flaws when it is formed. This is caused by the impurity of the yin and yang energies and the mistakes in the acupuncture points when guiding the yin and yang energies into the body. Therefore, most people wash away the impurities on the golden elixir in the first three tribulations, and only in the middle three tribulations can the golden elixir be further pushed to perfection, and even washed out the elixir pattern. This elixir pattern is also called the divine pattern, the Dharma pattern, and the elephant pattern. Generally, when the phenomenon pattern appears on the elixir, it is the time to clarify the Dharma.

So in fact, if Cheng Xinzhan wanted, he could use the dragon and tiger as his Dharma image when he was concluding the golden elixir. In fact, when he killed Bai Wuchang in Xiangxi, he used the dragon and tiger divine form on his golden elixir to break Bai Wuchang's evil ghost Dharma image. In fact, this was already the initial application of the Dharma image.

It's just that he is not satisfied with this. He wants to communicate with heaven and earth in the process of washing the pill, and clarify the true Dharma image in his heart, rather than the gift from the top-level Gangsha.

In addition, he could also judge that the first time he washed the pill, he strengthened the tiger pattern on the golden pill, which was slightly inferior to the dragon pattern, making the golden pill perfect. During these years of cultivation, he also recognized his inner heart and established his ambition. So whether in terms of the quality of the golden pill or his own state of mind, the second time he washed the pill should wash out new pill patterns.

That is the time when you clearly define the Dharma.

"boom!"

The fifth wave of thunder began to fall, and Cheng Xinzhan summoned the "Taiyi Qinghua Umbrella".

After the magic umbrella was brought out, it also grew against the wind. The umbrella opened up and turned into a constellation of stars in the sky, covering several mountaintops.

The thunder struck down, as if falling into the boundless galaxy and disappearing without a trace, but at the same time, under the umbrella, in the pattern of wind, rain, clouds and thunder, another red thunder appeared.

The magic umbrella is a treasure that Cheng Xinzhan refined specifically for the purpose of overcoming tribulations, and it lived up to his high hopes. The stars in the sky devoured the thunder, and there was still some power left until the fifth tribulation thunder.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cheng Xinzhan also flew under the umbrella, and at the same time, his mind traveled out of his body, allowing his three souls and physical body to be bathed in the thunder together.

Cheng Xinzhan did not cling to it or hold on any longer. He just cleansed himself a little and after being contaminated by the majestic vitality of the thunder, he returned to the cave. At this moment, his mind was more on the golden elixir.

At this time, the golden elixir was surrounded by heavy colorful clouds, making it impossible to see the scene inside. This was not ordinary mist and fog between heaven and earth, but a treasure tent formed by the gathering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This kind of treasure tent is also a kind of strange phenomenon in heaven and earth. It is extremely rare. If it appears, it is usually accompanied by a high-level cultivator breaking through, the emergence of a spiritual treasure, or the birth of a new divine form.

The colorful cloud tent wrapped the golden elixir, connecting the sky and the earth, surging, as if something was brewing.

When the sixth thunderbolt fell, Cheng Xinzhan retracted his magic umbrella and replaced it with the Book of Earth.

The Book of Earth flew high above the cloud tent. Half of the fire and lightning lava was blocked by the Book of Earth, and the other half sank into the cloud tent and hit the golden elixir.

The Earth Book was no longer as calm and composed as it was when it was overcoming the tribulation. Facing Cheng Xinzhan's second thunder tribulation, which was the last few of the last wave, the Earth Book first took on one, and then the pages of the book flipped like the wind, making a rustling sound. Famous mountains and rivers from all over the world appeared in the void, filling up the entire world.

Thunder and fire cleanse the mountains and rivers, and their beauty is like a painting.

The sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth.

The thunder and fire were like red clouds, and after shining for an hour and a half, they finally stopped.

Cheng Xinzhan, on the other hand, was full of anticipation as he looked at the rolling clouds that wrapped around the golden elixir.

At this time, all fifty-nine and forty-five thunder tribulations had struck, Cheng Xinzhan's second alchemy tribulation had also come to an end, and the purple tribulation cloud in the sky was about to dissipate.

However, at this moment, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred. A giant hand stretched out from the colorful cloud tent and grabbed the purple calamity cloud that was about to dissipate.

The giant hand shook, and the purple calamity cloud dispersed into purple rays of light, hanging in the giant hand, like a purple robe, exactly the same as the purple robe of the Master of All Laws that Cheng Xinzhan had just offered up.

The giant palm pulled the rosy glow and sank into the cloud tent, and then the cloud tent slowly dispersed.

Cheng Xinzhan sat quietly in a cave on the mountainside. After the cloud curtain dissipated, the first thing he saw was a purple Taoist robe, the same as his own scripture master's robe, with the same wide sleeves, which hung down and fell right in front of his eyes.

The cuffs are embroidered with black stripes, forming the hexagram of "Kun".

His right hand was resting on his waist, and in the hand sticking out from his sleeve was a jade whisk.

This is a Taoist priest.

My own Dharma image is a Taoist priest.

Purple represents nobility, Kun represents earth, and Zhu represents leisure.

Heaven and earth will never deceive me, and the Dharma will never hide anything from people.

Cheng Xinzhan's gaze continued to move upwards.

The Taoist priest wore an apricot-yellow jade belt around his waist, on which was engraved a picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains, with one mountain connected to another and one river following another.

At this time, the Dharmakāya moved again. He raised his empty right hand high, took down the Book of Earth hanging in the sky, and then closed the book and put it in front of his abdomen.

Cheng Xinzhan smiled knowingly. Could it be that his image was really that of that immortal?

He continued to move his eyes upwards. He wanted to see the face of the Dharma Appearance. Was it the face of the immortal, or was it his own face?

He raised his head high, and was suddenly stunned, his eyes widened.

How could it be a bird's head!
This Dharma image is actually a divine figure with a human body and a bird head!
At this time, Cheng Xinzhan had also seen the full appearance of the Dharma image, which was more than a hundred feet tall, taller than any Dharma image he had ever seen before. This included the Dharma images of Yiying Zhenren and Xuanzai of Juqu Mountain that he had seen on Sanshi Island, as well as the Dharma images of the two elders Dong and Fu that he had seen when they were protecting him in Xiangxi, and naturally also the Dharma images of those demons.

This statue was almost as tall as Tiecha Mountain, so he had to look up high to see it.

The Dharmakāya is dressed in the purple cloud robe of the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, with a purple gold lotus crown on his head and a jade belt of mountains and rivers around his waist. He holds a whisk behind his waist in one hand and holds the Book of Earth in the other hand in front of him. Clouds and mist linger around the Dharmakāya, and the shadows of mountains and rivers released by the Book of Earth are still visible in the air, floating behind him.

Cheng Xinzhan was almost certain that his Dharma image was that of the ancient true immortal, the legendary ancestor of earthly immortals, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan.

But at this time, the heaven and earth seemed to be playing a joke on him. The head of the Dharma image was a bird's head, and this bird's head had green feathers and a white beak. Cheng Xinzhan naturally knew at a glance that this was Jingwei.

The bird's eyes are as black as ink. Looking to the southeast, there is a vast ocean.

Could it be that the ambition of Jingwei that I had been dreaming of was actually reflected in the Dharmakāya?

Cheng Xinzhan didn't know whether this was good or bad. If he could form the Dharmakāya of Zhen Yuanzi, it would undoubtedly be one of the top Dharmakāyas in the world. But then he thought again, the Dharmakāya is the path. Did he really have to follow an existing path again?

Cheng Xinzhan thought about it carefully and felt that that was not what he wanted.

Jingwei is a bird that is determined to fill the mountains and the sea.

This is good. Even if I become a terrestrial immortal, my sights will not be limited to land. If I want to be an terrestrial immortal, I want to be an terrestrial immortal who is feared both on land and sea, and an terrestrial immortal who dominates the universe.

"Alright. The human body carries the Dao, the bird head represents the will. I am only for myself, and the Dharma is only in my mind. Heaven and earth will not deceive me."

Cheng Xinzhan smiled and talked to himself.

Just after Cheng Xinzhan said this, suddenly there was a violent storm, the earth shook, and huge waves rose in the Yellow Sea.
