Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1128 - 512: In the Mysterious Garden, Under the Bewildered Tree, You and Me_3

Chapter 1128: Chapter 512: In the Mysterious Garden, Under the Bewildered Tree, You and Me_3

Lin Xun could only once again ride his sword around the giant tree, examining each fruit in turn.

But all these fruits looked as though they were cast from the same mold, and with the naked eye alone, it was impossible to discern any distinctive features among them.

After a long search, he was unable to identify the true "Vajra Bodhi Seeds" and could only land back on the ground and look up at the sky-reaching ancient tree.

"Damn it! These are truly bewildering fruits on a perplexing tree, and below it are you and me..."

Lin Xun massaged his temples, calming his mind to carefully ponder.

Regarding the "Supreme Wisdom Root" mentioned on the stele, he had no clue at all, and the objects within the current scene were extremely limited, making it hard to find any key clues from them.

From this starting point, he began to suspect that the "Supreme Wisdom Root" mentioned on the stele might not be some illusory destiny, nor necessarily meant to be taken literally, as merely "great wisdom."

Because without being able to use a series of operations, relying solely on the naked eye to distinguish treasures carried no clues at all.

And relying solely on the naked eye couldn’t be considered "Supreme Wisdom Root"; at best, it was just being particularly good at the game "Spot the Differences."

Therefore, "Supreme Wisdom Root" might carry a metaphorical meaning, perhaps associated with a legend or anecdote, only he, as a foreigner, remained ignorant of it.

"If that’s the case, then there might still be a chance for me!"

With this thought, Lin Xun put away his phone, materializing the "Heavenly Yan Collection" from his inventory.

This voluminous collection of scriptures, which he had obtained from the Magical Dharma Hall, was not a divine power cultivation technique but a scriptural text compiled and revised by the Great Buddha and Bodhisattva under Yama God, based on Yama God’s life and deeds.

Originally, the White Elephant Demon had instructed him to learn and recite it thoroughly, as a lesson that would be tested upon the Bodhisattva’s return.

This "Heavenly Yan Collection" was not ordinary scripture but contained records related to divine wars and Yama God, holding a certain value.

At the time, he didn’t care whether it was a textbook or not; he simply pocketed the scriptural text and walked away with it.

Anything of value could not escape the relentless plundering of the fourth apocalypse.

Now, he materialized the "Heavenly Yan Collection" into reality and rapidly browsed the recorded events in the texts.

Blessed with Analysis Power, his reading speed couldn’t even be called "ten lines at a glance" anymore; it was more like a human-shaped scanner.

Essentially, as fast as he could turn the pages, that’s how quickly he could read, and he could also imprint the scriptures clearly in his mind.

After a short search, Lin Xun indeed found a legend about the Bodhi Tree in the texts.

According to the scripture, "Namaste Shakyamuni Buddha," one of the three Buddhas of past, present, and future, spent many years in harsh asceticism before attaining enlightenment but couldn’t fully realize it.

After years of rigorous cultivation, the Buddha of the Present finally left the forest of asceticism and accepted a goat herder girl’s offering of cheese, and then meditated for seven days and nights non-stop under a Bodhi Tree, until he suddenly reached enlightenment, attained the "Supreme Wisdom Root," and thus became the Buddha.

Such crucial information would be well ingrained in anyone from the Evil God World who belonged to the Buddhist disciples and followers of Vermilion Aboriginals.

Even the Apostle, after having dug up more background information about Buddhism, should be able to acquire legends about the Buddha, thus gaining an impression of the "Supreme Wisdom Root."

Lin Xun, who had been exploring hidden areas, had only recently learned of the existence of three Buddhas in Buddhism and naturally wouldn’t know the stories behind them.

Having acquired such a critical clue, he now knew how to prove he possessed the "Supreme Wisdom Root" and to obtain the treasure.

[You are inhabited by a "Shell" of the "Son of the Original Fire of Desire!"]

[You sit cross-legged under the sky-reaching Bodhi Tree, with eyes firmly closed, beginning to meditate on Buddhist Techniques...]

[A circle of black aura swirling light wheel appears behind you, and the Great Divine Power of the Six Great Reincarnations also manifests behind you...]

[After a short meditation, an extraordinary event suddenly occurs!]

[The midday sun overhead rapidly sets towards the west, dipping behind the hills, while the frosty bright moon rises slowly...]

[As you meditate on Buddhist Techniques under the Bodhi Tree, time within this world rushes by swiftly!]

[...]

[The days and nights spin rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, you have cultivated for seven days and nights straight under the Bodhi Tree.]

[At the moment when the scorching sun returns to its zenith, marking exactly seven days and nights...]

[The thousands of fruits atop the Bodhi Tree all shrivel and wither at once, their nourishment converging into a single fruit...]

[The extremely plump fruit falls from the tree, landing directly in front of you.]

[At the same time, the majestic tree gradually becomes blurry and illusory, fading like a dream...]

[The ripe fruit in front of you spontaneously splits open, its skin and flesh decaying into soil, leaving behind only an oddly shaped seed.]

[You reach out your hand to pick up the seed...]

[You have obtained the "Vajra Bodhi Seed" (Special Prop)!]

Lin Xun smiled faintly.

"That’s more like it. There’s no reason to leave Treasure Mountain empty-handed!"
