Chapter 214 The Threefold Dharma Body, the Wondrous Arts of the West!
"I see!"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Zhunti Daoist is a sage of the Heavenly Way, and every word and deed he speaks is the will of Heaven. When he utters these words, he is speaking with the authority of Heaven.
Kong Xuan Daoist possessed great supernatural powers and boundless magical abilities. His troops blocked this place, and the people had no chance of winning.
Now that the Daoist Zhunti has traveled across billions of miles of rivers and mountains to come here and enlighten Kong Xuan, the karma he owes is immense.
This foreshadowed the later defection of Daoist Ran Deng from the Chan Sect, but that's another story.
The karma of a sage is not easy to repay.
After the Investiture of the Gods, four of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were bewitched by Randeng and switched their allegiance to the Western Sect.
This traitor, Randeng, took away four Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect in one fell swoop, causing the Chan Sect to lose face.
"That Kong Xuan is truly remarkable!"
"This person has severed one of his corpses and has already achieved the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal. He has also transformed the innate five-colored divine light into the five great worlds. His magical power is profound and his cultivation is unfathomable."
"Does the cult leader have the means to subdue him?"
The Old Man of the South Pole set up a reed hut and invited the Taoist Zhunti to take a seat. After the formalities were completed, he began to talk about Kong Xuan.
"Kong Xuan is the son of the Phoenix Mother. Others may harm him or subdue him, but they must never kill him!"
"This humble Taoist possesses wondrous Western methods that can expound the Three Vehicles of the Great Way, cultivate the Bodhi Golden Body, and enjoy boundless freedom."
After Zhunti finished speaking, he pointed to the top of his head, and a cloud of auspicious light appeared. Above the three flowers, three relics the size of a bushel emerged, radiating countless auspicious rays.
In an instant, chanting of Buddhist hymns arose in the void.
As everyone looked, they saw that the relic was radiating auspicious light, golden and dazzling, round and smooth, with a natural Buddhist charm, and also belonging to the realm of the primordial.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"The Buddhist relics and the Taoist elixir are surprisingly similar, and the two are complementary."
Xin Huan looked around and found it all quite wondrous.
This relic is formed from the power of endless incense offerings and vows, and is also a mixture of innate spiritual essence and the laws of the Great Dao.
Innate relics have always been intertwined with the life and spirit of cultivators, and can be considered as the objects of a cultivator's enlightenment and their life treasures!
This thing borrows from the Taoist magic weapon for attaining enlightenment, and it looks very much like a hybrid of the magic weapon for attaining enlightenment and the golden elixir.
Once this treasure is successfully used, it can also be used to sever corpses.
The West is barren and lacks treasures. The two sages created this method in order to overcome resource limitations.
After all, apart from Lingjiu Mountain and Babao Ling Mountain, there really are no other blessed lands in the Western Continent.

Three large relics flew out and transformed into three Taoist priests, who were the three incarnations of the Taoist Zhunti.
Then, a primordial spiritual root appeared among Zhunti's three flowers; this was the Western Gengjin Bodhi Tree.
The Bodhi tree is a sacred tree in Buddhism and one of the ten innate spiritual roots, occupying the Geng metal element.
The tree branch in the hands of the Taoist Zhunti is transformed from the branches of the Bodhi tree, and it is adorned with the seven treasures of Buddhism.
On the tree branches grow seven treasures: gold, silver, lapis lazuli, coral, giant clam shell, red pearl, and agate.
This object is called the Seven Treasures Tree, which is the companion spiritual treasure of the Daoist Zhunti. It is listed in the Great Luo Heaven and is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with incredible uses.
Once activated, it can resist countless magical arts and supernatural powers, remain unaffected by any spells, and even sweep away numerous treasures.
The Daoist Zhunti preached the Western Great Way, his mouth spewing lotus flowers, and he revealed the relics and the Bodhi Golden Body Dharma together.
When the sage preached, flowers rained down from the sky and golden lotuses sprang from the earth; the myriad wonders within were extremely mysterious and profound.
Upon hearing this, everyone was struck by a sudden realization.
The Daoist Zhunti revealed the Bodhi tree, bestowing upon everyone immense enlightenment and unexpectedly granting them a great opportunity.
Xin Huan summoned the Primordial Four Symbols Treasure Mirror to bless himself, recording all the Great Dao teachings of Daoist Zhunti and transforming them into his own Great Dao resources.
Suddenly, endless celestial phenomena appeared again beneath the reeds in Sishui Pass.
Flowers rained down from the sky, and golden lotuses sprang from the ground.
The Daoist Zhunti exhaled lotus flowers and chanted Daoist verses. Above the three flowers, it was as if clear spring water was dripping down, and countless water droplets fell, turning into a tinkling sound that never ceased to be heard.
Endless Buddha light soared into the sky, and the sound of Brahma appeared in the void. Three huge relics floated in mid-air, occasionally emitting auspicious light, or transforming into golden Bodhi bodies, revealing the endless Western holy realm.
"The Three Vehicles establish the Dharma Body, the wondrous arts of the West are divine!"
"The Western Pure Land teachings, with their wondrous exposition of the Three Vehicles, lead to vastly different levels of attainment due to the varying capacities of sentient beings!"
"These three vehicles are called the Śrāvakayāna, the Pratyekabuddhayāna, and the Bodhisattvayāna—three paths of practice!"
"Through cultivation, sentient beings can attain the Arhatship, the Bodhisattvaship, and the Buddhaship of unsurpassed enlightenment."
"There are two practices here: one is the relic, and the other is the Bodhi body. Both can lead to the attainment of the Great Way."
The Great Path created by Cundi is the Path of the Bodhi Golden Body, which corresponds to the Golden Body of the Bodhisattva Path.
Cundi is the Buddha Mother of Western Buddhism, famous for pioneering the Bodhisattva path, and later, together with Jieyin, founded the religion and attained sainthood.
The path pioneered by the Guide is the path of relics. When this path is fully cultivated, one can attain the Buddhahood.
Both of these Great Daos lead directly to the Great Luo realm and are among the most outstanding Daoist methods in the world. Upon hearing about these Great Daos, people felt completely captivated and felt they had benefited immensely.
The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect cultivate the Jade Purity Immortal Scripture, a profound and extraordinary path that can lead directly to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Its profundity is no less than that of these two great paths.
You might wonder why Cundi is so generous, expounding the Great Dao at this moment and revealing its profound mysteries one by one.
Of the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect before Yuan Dao, four of them have a great connection with the Western Sect.
Today, the Daoist Zhunti is preaching the Great Dao in Xiqi and reciting the Great Luo True Dharma. He is trying to entice these four Daoists to change their allegiance and turn to the Western Religion.
Compared to the Jade Purity Immortal Scripture, the Western Religion's path of relics and the Bodhi Golden Body path can be cultivated with the help of incense and vows, and can achieve the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in a short period of time.
Now that the Twelve Golden Immortals have lost all their cultivation, their innate foundation remains. Zhunti has no good intentions.
Zhunti's sermon was intended to lure the disciples of the Chan sect. If they practiced this method, they would have to leave the Xuan sect.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"The relics of the Western religion actually share the same origin as the Golden Elixir Dao, and in some ways, the relic path has even added more wonderful uses."
"The Taoist elixir, possessing its complete purity!"
"The Western relics are a testament to great achievement!"
"The fact that relics can replace innate spiritual treasures to sever the corpse demonstrates their profound mystery."
"However, once the Taoist Golden Elixir Path is successfully cultivated, one's magical power becomes purer, and the upper limit of one's cultivation realm is also higher!"
"Incense is poisonous; there's no way to guard against it!"
Xin Huan already possessed the Golden Elixir Dao in his cultivation. Now, with the teachings of Daoist Zhunti, he understood everything and instantly comprehended the Dao of Relics and the Dao of Bodhi Golden Body.
"The divine images in Taoism are remarkably similar to the Bodhi golden body in Western religion."
"Taoist sect, unorthodox sect!"
"Both of these originate from the same source!"
Xin Huan was the future master of the Quanzhen Dao. He created the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, was well-versed in the three teachings, and possessed boundless fortune. Therefore, he gained a great advantage this time.
