Chapter 1088: Chapter 497 Bodhisattva’s Handwritten Scriptures in the Heavenly Yan Collection_2

[The scriptures spoke of the formation of Yama God, who made twelve great vows, aspiring to shine his radiant light, illuminating countless boundless worlds...]

[He aspired for his body to be as clear as glaze, transparent inside and out, pure without blemish, with a light vast and broad, his flame net majestic, surpassing the sun and moon...]

[He aspired to extinguish all that is greed, anger, and delusion, the filth and sin that stain, vowing to deliver all beings...]

[The ’Ancient Heavenly Warden’ desired to use the Glazed Karma Fire to eradicate all evil in the world and to impart to humanity the Three Thousand Great Path, a doctrine that could repair one’s body, cut away the three corpses and nine worms, and cast aside one’s own Malice and obsessions, so to achieve the status of Golden Immortal.]

[And with the Buddhist dharma, one could guide others, liberate them from the fetters of heterodox paths, the entanglements of demon gods, and the stain of karma, thereby attaining enlightenment.]

[All people have the heart to turn towards goodness, and thus would abandon the old faith in demon gods, consciously returning to the Great Light...]

[Yama God wished to convert the chief of the demon gods and old gods, the ’Chaos Origin Dragon,’ but its karma was deeply entrenched. Only by employing great magical power to annihilate it could the evil leader be executed...]

[...]

[The subsequent content of the scripture records the divine wars of ancient times.]

[Essentially, the Ancient Heavenly Warden converted countless followers of Chaos Origin Dragon, for he imparted the Three Thousand Supreme Pathways, enabling mortals to become immortals and Buddhas, possessing great magical power and divine skills, quickly gaining an absolute advantage in the divine wars.]

[However, the scripture’s description stops abruptly at the critical moment of the divine wars. What follows is the subjugation of demon gods and the world returning to a bright and clear universe, a vision of Great Light.]

[You understand that it is very likely the critical moment when the ’Glazed Karma Fire’ transformed into the ’Fallen Karma Fire’, and the darkest moment when that ’Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit’ was born amidst the Chaos.]

[What exactly happened is beyond your knowledge, but the outcome was that the divine wars came to a halt, and both Main Divine Beings suffered from an erosion by the Evil God that could not be resisted.]

[You sigh deeply, close the grand scripture, and initiate the Analysis Power, trying to decode the buried history.]

[Your eyes suddenly open, sensing that something is amiss.]

[Looking intently at the ’Heavenly Yan Collection,’ a myriad of characters flit across your pupils. You reopen the grand tome, meticulously reviewing each piece of scripture, and quickly realize what’s amiss.]

[You turn to the last page of the scripture, feeling the paper of the text—the last page feels subtly thicker than the others, an almost imperceptible degree of thickness that the naked eye would barely distinguish.]

[Had you not been cautious and meticulous, you would likely have overlooked the secret hidden within.]

[The last page of the ’Heavenly Yan Collection’ seems to conceal a compartment. Do you wish to tear the paper to see what’s inside?]

"Could it be some unique Buddhist cultivation technique?"

"Who would hide something within this ’Heavenly Yan Collection’?]

Lin Xun couldn’t help but recall certain adventures.

[You carefully tear along the edge of the paper and soon discover a thin, cicada-wing-like slip of paper hidden within, covered in minute characters. The handwriting is elegant and graceful, imbued with a sense of great compassion, seemingly written by a woman.]

[You have discovered ’The Infinite Sutra of Great Wisdom Bodhisattva’ (Information)!]

Lin Xun narrows his eyes; this is clearly not some peerless cultivation technique, but rather critically important information.

Moreover, since this informational tool is named ’The Infinite Sutra of Great Wisdom Bodhisattva’ rather than ’The Infinite Sutra of Great Dark Bodhisattva,’ it suggests that the paper was written before the Bodhisattva was eroded by Malice.]

[You meticulously examine the minute characters recorded on the paper in your hand...]

[...]

[Decisiveness is called wisdom, and selection is called intelligence. Emerging from the mundane world’s great wisdom, all aggregates are void; resolving all suffering and calamity is the Great Prajna.]

[As ’Great Wisdom Boundless Intention Bodhisattva,’ my essence is tranquil and carefree, far removed from the endless evils and demonic obstacles. Therefore, I am the last among the many Buddhas to be eroded by that Evil God.]

[Yet even with great wisdom and prajna, it is impossible to sever the invasion of evil deeds and demonic obstacles.]

[I know that Yama God’s influence has waned, and I also know that all the divine Buddhas have fallen into Extreme Evil.]

[The current dharma is only to use ’The Buddha’s Secret Sutra of Three Worlds,’ to sever the ’Past Self,’ retaining the ’Current Self’ and ’Future Self’ for the Evil God’s further erosion, to deceive the heavens, leaving behind a seed of the ’Glazed Karma Fire’.]

[This seed of Glazed Karma Fire contains Yama God’s magical power to purify all the evil deeds of the world, and it is also the foremost of the Three Thousand Great Path, the ’Purification Path,’ possessing inconceivable and boundless divine powers.]

["Destined one, if you are able to read this letter, it means you have yet to be corrupted by the Evil God and there is a chance for you to save this world!"]

["If you can read this letter, it also means that I have severed my ’past incarnation’ and concealed the Glazed Karma Fire Seed within it."]

["The ’past incarnation’ can withstand the erosion of malicious karma and evil barriers for a considerable amount of time due to the presence of the Glazed Karma Fire Seed."]

["You need to enter the ’Execution Evil Hall’ and find the hidden ’past incarnation’ to obtain this seed of last hope..."]

["..."]

[You finish reading the minute script on the letter and can’t help but fall into deep thought...]

Lin Xun’s eyes flickered with numerous characters.

Based on the deciphered answer, the ’Purification Path’ and ’Glazed Karma Fire Seed’ mentioned by the Bodhisattva in the Book of Salvation should probably be called the ’The Authority of Purification.’

Because the Ancient Heavenly Warden possessed the Authority of Purification, it should have gained power from purifying each being, which is why upon arriving in this world, it initiated a divine war to compete for followers.

Perhaps the Ancient Heavenly Warden had already purified numerous worlds before arriving in this one; that’s why it possessed the ’Three Thousand Great Path,’ and after its arrival, the Chaos Origin Dragon hardly had any power to resist and kept being forced into retreat.

This ’The Authority of Purification’ must be formidable, capable of not only dissolving the malice in the hearts of beings but also significantly slowing down the erosion of Chaos, which is why the Ancient Heavenly Warden can still hold on until now without falling early like the ’Chaos Origin Dragon.’

Moreover, if the ’The Authority of Purification’ is the foremost among the Three Thousand Great Path, does it mean that the other paths are also some kind of authority?

"Following this reasoning, the Ancient Heavenly Warden should also be very powerful, so how did it meet its downfall in this world?"

Lin Xun frowned. There was a crucial piece of information missing from what he knew so far: what exactly caused the Ancient Heavenly Warden to fail so miserably and produce an ’Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit’?

This God of Disorder was a being so uncommon that even the Almighty True Knowledge, which had experienced countless worlds, had never seen it—it was something inferred through the Analysis Power, existing only in theory.

To create such a rare Divine being, one could speculate that the Ancient Heavenly Warden must have made a grave mistake.

According to the information on the letter, the Bodhisattva’s past incarnation is hidden in the Execution Evil Hall, and only by going there, one could obtain the ’Glazed Karma Fire Seed’.

And the ’White Elephant Demon’ mentioned that the Execution Evil Hall is a forbidden hall, harboring dangers that could cost one’s life...

Lin Xun left the Magical Dharma Hall and began to explore the entire temple grounds.

The Bodhisattva’s temple grounds had more than ten Treasure Halls, each with different functions. After wandering around for a while, he roughly understood the layout of each hall.

The ’Miao Zang Hall’ acted as a storeroom, housing many treasures and Magical Artifacts, and just like the second floor of the Magical Dharma Hall, it had strong mystical barriers. A brief attempt made it clear that he had no ability to force his way through at the moment.

According to the difficulty levels of the current region, these barriers and the level of the monsters were far beyond his current progress.

To obtain the Magical Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques with divine power, one might have to wait for the great Bodhisattva boss to return, to willingly accept him as the master.

Then there was the ’Miao Guang Hall,’ a hall where many disciples lived and practiced their daily cultivation. As soon as Lin Xun entered, he heard White Elephant Senior Brother’s thunderous snoring.

After a moment’s thought, he decided not to disturb the Senior Brother’s nap...

After a long search, Lin Xun finally found the ’Execution Evil Hall’ located in a secluded corner of the temple grounds.

["..."]

[The ’Execution Evil Hall’ wasn’t very large, similar in size to the Hall of Demon Subduing you had been in before, but whether it was psychological or not, looking at this hall you felt a subtle resistance within your heart to entering it, as if it contained immense danger."]

[Do you wish to enter the ’Execution Evil Hall’?]

Lin Xun took a deep breath and pressed ’Yes.’]

[With determined steps, you move forward and push open the hall doors...]

[You are blocked by an invisible, powerful barrier; your hand was harshly repelled before it even touched the door!]

[You are unable to enter the ’Execution Evil Hall’!]

He was startled, "Well, what a situation; even in my own place, all doors are locked against me!"]
