[Cultivation Technique Recorded — Origin - Mahayana Origin Scripture!]
[Martial Art Recorded — Origin - Zen Sea Thunder Sound!]
After nearly half a month of quantum speed-reading, Li Xuanxiao finally finished reading all the millions of books in the Scripture Pavilion.
The System light screen also popped up twice during this period.
Li Xuanxiao put down the last scripture and immediately opened the System Panel:
[Host: Li Xuanxiao]
[Realm: Origin Realm Third Layer]
[Cultivation Techniques:
Origin - Origin Tracing Martial Art (Minor Achievement), Mahayana Origin Scripture (Not Initiated)
Mystic - Mystic Lotus Art (Perfection), Heavenly Origin Marvelous Martial Art (Transcendent)]
[Martial Arts:
Origin - Zen Sea Thunder Sound (Not Initiated)
Mystic - Mirage Shadow Blade (Minor Achievement), Star Falling Shadow Chasing Blade (Perfection), Universal Salvation (Initiated), Star-Chasing Moon-Pursuing (Perfection), Myriad Moon Shadows (Initiated)
Xuan - Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal (Transcendent), Dharma Breaking Qi Extinguishing Slash (Transcendent)]
[Demon value Points: 283000]
Seeing the two additional Origin Realm Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts, Li Xuanxiao almost burst out laughing!
It really has to be you, Buddha Brother; he just handed over two Origin Realm Buddhist Dharma techniques!
Without hesitation, he directly invested his Demon value Points.
[Consuming 80000 Demon value Points, Mahayana Origin Scripture has gained Initial Insight!]
[Consuming 160000 Demon value Points, Mahayana Origin Scripture has stepped into the Minor Achievement Realm!]
[Insufficient Demon value Points, further advancement is impossible!]
After pushing the Origin Realm Buddhist Dharma technique to the Minor Achievement Realm in one go,
Li Xuanxiao was pleasantly surprised to find that his Realm had actually advanced another layer, reaching the Origin Realm Fourth Layer!
From the Origin Realm Early Stage to the Origin Realm Middle Stage, the condensation of True Essence had improved yet again!
Looking at the remaining 43000 Demon value Points, Li Xuanxiao pondered briefly.
Now that he possessed Origin Realm Martial and Buddhist Path Cultivation Techniques, he no longer needed the Mystic Realm Martial and Buddhist Path Cultivation Techniques.
He would recycle them directly!
[Successfully recycled Mystic Realm Cultivation Technique Mystic Lotus Art, returning 20000 Demon value Points!]
[Successfully recycled Mystic Realm Cultivation Technique Heavenly Origin Marvelous Martial Art, returning 50000 Demon value Points!]
"Why is the Demon value Points returned different for the same Mystic Realm Cultivation Technique?"
Li Xuanxiao was slightly surprised, and after a moment of thought, he deduced that it was likely because the Perfection levels of the two techniques were different.
One was Perfection, the other was Transcendent. That was why the returned Demon value Points was different.
He didn't dwell on it. With 70000 Demon value Points obtained, plus the remaining 43000 points,
The total was 113000 points, enough to bring the other Origin Realm Buddhist Dharma technique to initiation!
[Consuming 80000 Demon value Points, Zen Sea Thunder Sound has gained Initial Insight!]
At this point, the Demon value Points dropped back to 33000 points.
The consumption of these many Demon value Points resulted in a Realm increase of one layer, and one Minor Achievement and one Initiation for the two new Origin Realm Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts!
The System Panel also updated to:
[Host: Li Xuanxiao]
[Realm: Origin Realm Fourth Layer]
[Cultivation Techniques:
Origin - Origin Tracing Martial Art (Minor Achievement), Mahayana Origin Scripture (Minor Achievement)]
[Martial Arts:
Origin - Zen Sea Thunder Sound (Initiated)
Mystic - Mirage Shadow Blade (Minor Achievement), Star Falling Shadow Chasing Blade (Perfection), Universal Salvation (Initiated), Star-Chasing Moon-Pursuing (Perfection), Myriad Moon Shadows (Initiated)
Xuan - Buddha's Illuminating Lamp Seal (Transcendent), Dharma Breaking Qi Extinguishing Slash (Transcendent)]
[Demon value Points: 33000]
Seeing the changes in the System Panel, a smile touched the corner of Li Xuanxiao's mouth.
His current strength was far, far greater than when he fought Ming Yanxia!
Li Xuanxiao estimated that Ming Yanxia was likely only at the level of someone who had just entered the Origin Realm.
At most, the Origin Realm Second Layer! He, however, was now at the Origin Realm Fourth Layer.
At his current Realm, he figured even the top Martial Artists of Tianxuan and Qingluan would look down on him!
At best, they would be evenly matched with him.
He glanced at the dense scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion and stretched his arms wide.
These past few days had truly exhausted him; his head was spinning, and his hands were numb from turning pages.
Fortunately, it was finally, finally over, and he could leave!
Elated, Li Xuanxiao walked lightly out of the Scripture Pavilion.
Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and Li Xuanxiao instinctively shielded his eyes.
Coming out of the relatively dark interior, he wasn't immediately used to such strong light.
He stepped out, looking for the figures of the Abbot and the young monk.
He couldn't just leave after patting his butt; he had to show some etiquette, at least say goodbye to them before leaving.
Weaving through the corridors of Fanyin Temple, Li Xuanxiao relied on his memory to arrive before the central main hall of Fanyin Temple.
As he looked out, his expression froze instantly.
Monks were discussing Buddhist Dharma, so why were they fighting?
Around the main hall, countless monks were seated on the ground.
And in the large open space in the center of the main hall, two monks wearing different monastic robes were competing against each other.
They moved back and forth; although it wasn't filled with sharp killing intent like a fight between Martial Artists,
Every move and stance was quite fierce and dangerous.
Had the debate turned into a physical fight?
From the snippets of conversation among the monks, Li Xuanxiao roughly deduced the reason for their fight.
Chongguo Temple believed that the so-called Buddhist Path meant achieving the "Nirvana" Realm through personal cultivation and practice, completely transcending suffering and Reincarnation.
Fanyin Temple believed that the true essence of Buddhism lay in Universal Salvation, making vows to become a Buddha to benefit all sentient beings, helping them escape suffering. The highest Realm pursued was "Becoming a Buddha."
Both sides believed they held the true legacy of the Buddhist Path and, unable to reach a consensus, had to settle it by seeing whose power was superior.
Li Xuanxiao found it amusing. Monks generally didn't care much about other matters, but when it came to the understanding of the Buddhist Path, they each held their own stubborn views!
A sudden change occurred in the arena!
The monk wearing the Fanyin Temple robe was repelled by a palm seal and collapsed onto the ground.
The surrounding Fanyin Temple monks immediately rushed over and helped him up.
"Senior Brother Fan Wang, are you alright?"
"Chongguo Temple is going too far!"
Several young monks were indignant. Having only taken their vows a few years ago, they could not maintain the calm composure of a High Monk when facing defeat.
"No harm done."
Fan Wang slowly stood up after resting briefly and bowed to the monk from Chongguo Temple.
"Senior Brother's understanding of Buddhist Dharma is far superior to mine. Fan Wang is ashamed."
The monk wearing the other set of robes clasped his hands together, a look of calm amusement on his face.
"Junior Brother Fan Wang, there is no need for self-deprecation. The gap between you and me is not in Buddhist Dharma, but in the understanding of the Buddhist Path."
The implication was that their direction was wrong, and theirs was the Righteous Path!
Li Xuanxiao shook his head. After all this, it was still a debate!
It had just changed form, from persuading with virtue to overpowering with force.
As expected, debating scripture was useless; in the end, it came down to whose Buddhist Dharma was stronger!
Forget it, none of this concerned him. He just wanted to quickly find the Abbot and the young monk, say goodbye, and leave.
Many Fanyin Temple monks around showed faint dissatisfaction, while the monks from Chongguo Temple, in contrast, displayed a hint of smugness.
Fan Wang, having failed in the bout, retreated slightly dejectedly. His peripheral vision swept over Li Xuanxiao, who was walking past.
"Great Master!?"
