Great Buddha Way Part 2

In this silence, the spiritual formula of the first stage "Great Buddha Way" imprinted in Huang Sheng's head.

Intentionally starting to interact with the formula, Huang Sheng became confused, as if someone had blocked his connection with his material body. Even though the formula was crystal clear in his mind, it still seemed to be vague. Whether he used his heart, his concentration, his inner strength... Regardless of the methods he used to understand the formula, every time he touched it, he felt that the formula became a highly visible but still unattainable mist. The more he explored, the more the formula blurred and crumbled.

Huang Sheng's heartbeat and breathing became slower and lighter. He seemed to relax even more. All his five senses are completely isolated from the outside world. All his consciousness was focused on understanding the formula.

Huang Sheng already knew what would happen in the next moment when he heard an old voice filled with wisdom...

"Young man of thirteen, do you have an understanding of the Great Buddha Way?"

Huang Sheng frowned even though he knew it would happen and replied with a confident voice.

- Yes.

In this case, what do you understand? the old man's voice asked again.

Huang Sheng couldn't see the face of the one who spoke.

"My great Path consists of protecting those close to me and gaining strength to achieve this path. Huang Sheng remembered Jasmine and her situation. Now, compared to this girl and her real strength, he is a mere fry. If he wants to protect her and put Jasmine out of her misery, he must be the strongest!

- ...fabulous. Your path, young man, is incredible and difficult, and the goal of your protection is beyond the reach of your world... but I believe that you can handle it.

Huang Sheng frowned even more. "Is this old man reading my mind?"

- Next question. What is "Buddha"? And what is "The Way"?

Huang Sheng collected his thoughts for a while before answering.

"Buddha is my desire. The path is the "road" made for me.

By "road," Huang Sheng meant everything in the world. When he appeared in the North Star, all that he achieved, what people he met ... all this was his way. And by Buddha he meant the desires of his heart. Huang Sheng can be kind-hearted or evil, and this concept can be called as: "One thought is to become a Buddha, the other is a demon"

"One thought is to become a Buddha, the other a demon…" As if reading his thoughts, an old voice whispered his words, and soon he laughed. — Ha-ha-ha! You are right young man! Although I can't see your past life and I don't know how you came to this understanding, you are right!

Boom!

In the next second, Huang Sheng felt a severe headache, but it quickly passed. When he opened his eyes, Huang Sheng was back in the outside world.

After examining his body, he was surprised to notice a faint silvery light, and a silver pagoda had formed over his head.

[Pagoda is a Buddhist, Hindu or Taoist building of a religious nature]

Along with the appearance of the pagoda, Huang Sheng felt increased strength, and his body seemed to become much stronger. His bones, organs, and skin, which had already been enhanced by the heritage of the Dragon, became even stronger in every way.

But in addition to improving the body, Huang Sheng felt around him the energy of the world, the spirit of nature and the qi of heaven and earth. Where before he could just feel them, now Huang Sheng was able to absorb them, albeit at an extremely slow pace.

Looking at the Scarlet Dragon whose face seemed to be in shock, he asked.

— How much time has passed?

- ...A? Just a couple of seconds. The Scarlet Dragon, who had just set up the barrier, wanted to lie down, but after a second, he felt a powerful surge of strength. Huang Sheng turned out to be the center, but it was not Profound Power, but the power of nature, heaven and earth. The Scarlet Dragon knew about these energies, but no one could use these powers, and now the young man in front of him, albeit slowly, absorbed the qi of the outside world.

Although each practitioner absorbs qi during meditation, this qi of the inner world, that is, it does not belong to nature, earth, or heaven.

"What… what is this Heavenly God Technique?" asked the Scarlet Dragon, gazing intently at the silver temple above the youth's head.

For your own safety, you better forget about it. Huang Sheng waved him off.

The Scarlet Dragon silently nodded. He had never heard of using external qi.

Huang Sheng, in turn, examined the changes in the body. They were not new to him, since the dragon's body provided exactly the same benefits.

Clenching his fist a couple of times, Huang Sheng determined the strength of his body. If a couple of minutes ago he could use the power of the Emperor Profound Level 1, now he could increase the power to level 6, and maybe even up to level 7.

"I have just mastered the first stage of the Great Buddha Way, but I have already received such a jump in strength…" – only now Huang Sheng realized that: The Dragon Body, the Great Buddha Way and the Lightning Sparrow Veins create an explosive combination, thereby covering the shortcomings each other.

Huang Sheng even felt a little uneasy from the power he received, but he also understood that in order to increase the level of the body, he would have to go through the sorrow of the body, and this is accompanied by incredible pain...

- We're coming back. Huang Sheng stood up and walked back to the cave with the Dragon...

———————————————

When Huang Sheng returned, he saw Yun Che that he had reached the Advanced Realm Level 1, and Jasmine, who was explaining to him the new acquired ability of the Evil God Veins.

"So… I won't take any more fire damage?" Yun Che said in surprise.

- You are not mistaken. Jasmine said in a peculiar voice, "The ancient records say that the Evil God possessed the most formidable of the elemental powers within the Primordial Era. With his Profound Power, he had the ability to control the elements in the natural world at will, and despite this, it was possible to change his Profound Power into any kind of element at any time. In the memory imprint of that immortal blood drop, it was clearly written that the five seeds that the Evil God had left behind contained the "source of power" of his immense power over the elements. If these sources of power are acquired by his heir, not only will he be able to control the respective element, but he will also gain full resistance to that element.

"..." Yun Che tried to comprehend all the information he had received. He was a common practitioner of the lower world, so it was not surprising to be surprised by the power of true gods.

"Also, due to the peculiarity, I didn't use the Evil God's immortal blood on myself, but instead went to great danger by coming to this continent to try to find the Evil God's Secret Sanctuary mentioned in the memory imprint." All because of the ability to manipulate the elements and gain full elemental resistance, even I, the princess, is unable to withstand some of the elements. In the God Realm, the power of the Evil God is known as...

... A force going against the heavens!

— ... —

"And remember…" Jasmine's voice became extremely icy. - Never! Never tell anyone that you have the legacy of the Evil God! Do you hear!? Never!

- ...I understand. Yun Che turned serious as he saw that Jasmine was not joking with him.

"And if… if you reveal yourself, then… then the entire God Realm will target you!" You just can't imagine yet how valuable the True Gods' legacies are. she shook her head.

When Jasmine finished speaking, she turned to Huang Sheng, who was standing behind her and playing with her hair. But as soon as she looked at him, her eyes widened in shock.

"You… you have successfully mastered the first stage of the Great Way of the Buddha!"
