OBS Chapter 138 Reshaping the Meridians
Chapter 138 Reshaping the Meridians
The sky was dark and gloomy, and wails and screams filled the fields.
The torrential rain washed away the already difficult-to-cover ruins, making them even more desolate.
Rainwater poured back into Daoyuan and Fang Hongxuan's surroundings in waves.
Dao Yuan floated into the air and stood on Fang Hongxuan's head with his palm as a claw, while Fang Hongxuan sat cross-legged on the ground in a devout manner.
"Although there are no ritual implements here, nor the precious vases used for initiation, this place possesses an inexhaustible supply of rootless water, which can conveniently substitute for the four pure waters. Let me visualize the four dragons soaring through the void before I perform the five-vessel initiation for you..."
『Om Vajrasattva Hum.』
Daoyuan chanted the mantra of Vajrabhairava, and then a faint image of the deity Yamantaka appeared behind him.
The chanting of Buddhist hymns filled the air, and Daoyuan, who possessed the Wheel of Merit, appeared even more dignified and solemn, as if the Buddha himself had manifested.
"Buzz..."
Four divine dragons of different shapes appeared in the void, playing and frolicking with each other, intertwining together.
After an unknown amount of time, the four exhausted dragons reluctantly spat out their dragon essence towards Fang Hongxuan, nourishing him with their vital energy.
The great calamity energy of earth, fire, wind, water, and emptiness gathered around Fang Hongxuan and then surged into his body.
Multicolored beams of light erupted from Fang Hongxuan's body, only to be absorbed back into him.
The two sides of Fang Hongxuan, who were originally one, were now transformed into two completely different people by the help of the five-colored beams of light. The former was gentle and refined, while the latter was brutal and murderous. This was the difference between the living and the living corpse.
Both Fang Hongxuans opened their eyes at the same time, and they looked at each other simultaneously.
"It's so amazing..."
"It's so amazing..."
"Huh..."
"Huh..."
"What means to share my thoughts and ideas?"
"Why can you share my thoughts and ideas?"
"There's no need to try anymore. Both of you are Benefactor Fang. I merely used a special method to temporarily split you in two..."
While chanting the secret mantra, Daoyuan did not forget to explain it to Fang Hongxuan.
As the wheel of merit spun faster and faster, the surrounding chill was instantly dispelled.
Suddenly
Fang Hongxuan felt completely ethereal, as if he had entered some kind of mysterious state.
The whole world seemed to have detached from him, and everything seemed to have ceased to exist.
"All four elements are empty! It shouldn't be said that all five elements are empty!"
What is meant by the emptiness of the five elements?
However, they represent the five elements: earth, fire, wind, water, and void!
Fang Hongxuan, feeling as if his entire body was being disintegrated, watched helplessly as his physical form rapidly perished and slowly rebuilt in this mysterious and wondrous state.
Meridians, pulses, blood vessels, limbs, internal organs, seven orifices, hair, skin, and other textures appeared from nothing, eventually forming Fang Hongxuan's living form.
"this...."
Then, an extremely dazzling sun, as big as a sesame seed, disappeared into Fang Hongxuan's Niwan Palace.
At this moment, the mysterious and profound feeling finally faded away.
Dao Yuan, already exhausted, now appeared decades older, yet his face remained serene, looking at Fang Hongxuan with compassion and pity.
"Benefactor Fang, since you have not practiced the 'Four Preliminary Practices' of the Secret Realm, even though a perfect initiation has been performed for you, it cannot help you overcome all obstacles and directly begin your practice."
It's a pity that my innate wisdom has not fully awakened, and I am unable to pass on the Dharma to you...
"The only solution for now is to seal that great sun within your body, so that it can be gradually instilled within you when you embark on the path of cultivation..."
"In the realm of esoteric Buddhism, any child has the hope of receiving initiation only before the age of nine. The younger the child, the better the effect of the initiation and the greater the potential, and vice versa."
"Through special means, I have enabled you to achieve a kind of Nirvana. Therefore, in terms of your actual age, you are now like a newborn infant."
"Remember, you must travel to the Hidden Realm within three years to personally experience the secrets of heaven and earth. The spirit of the realm will guide you..."
Fang Hongxuan felt an unprecedented surge of vitality bursting forth from his body, and he was stunned to feel the warmth of his own body.
"You have completed your restoration, achieving harmony of Yin and Yang, and maintaining your original unity. You only need to remove the Yin energy that does not belong to you, and there will be no more hidden dangers in your body."
Although Dao Yuan was trembling all over, he still looked at Fang Hongxuan with an endearing expression.
"Your state of mind has undergone a complete transformation; the attitude of 'living towards death' will be entirely replaced by the balance of Yin and Yang."
"You are two sides of the same coin, possessing two completely different lifelines, capable of switching between the forms of a living person and a zombie at any time..."
A strange and ethereal voice permeated the depths of Fang Hongxuan's mind.
The once gentle and refined Fang Hongxuan suddenly transformed into his gloomy and indifferent demeanor.
The zombie state is no longer as bizarre and violent as before; instead, it is purely chilling.
The only difference between the two is their blood-red eyes and the lifelike, incredibly detailed back of the Immovable Wrathful King even in his zombie form.
"That ability to infinitely strengthen oneself simply by switching to zombie form and infusing it with yin energy is slowly fading..."
After only a slight adjustment, Fang Hongxuan stood up and took a step back, then bowed three times and nine times to Daoyuan, performing the most standard disciple's etiquette.
"Such a great kindness, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the Dharma Master 'Master'..."
"Then I shall accept you, you foolish child..."
Seeing this, Daoyuan smiled and nodded, then pointed out a path to Fang Hongxuan.
"I am powerless to escape any longer. Let me perish along with this Great Temple... The Holy Mother Tara is beyond your current capabilities. You should flee for your life..."
"As for the Immovable Wrathful Deity you possess, there is no need to worry. When the time is right, a benefactor will naturally come to your aid. Remember, use this Immovable Wrathful Deity form with caution..."
Daoyuan didn't explain clearly, he just kept instructing Fang Hongxuan on related matters.
For some reason, Fang Hongxuan's nose suddenly tingled with emotion. He had never thought of abandoning Daoyuan and running away alone, but these words reminded him of his kind and gentle parents on Blue Star.
Seemingly sensing Fang Hongxuan's reluctance, Daoyuan playfully raised his palm and then gently brought it down on Fang Hongxuan's head.
"Foolish child... hurry up and go..."
Hot tears mingled with the cold rain as they streamed down his face, but Fang Hongxuan raised his head, his eyes revealing determination and fortitude.
"Master, as a demon-slaying captain in the Demon Suppression Division, I am obliged to protect the safety of the people. Now that disaster is imminent, how can I possibly remain unscathed?"
"Foolish child... do you really think you can use the true form of the Immovable Wrathful King to deal with it? Even if you could fight it, you could only hold out for a short while. What's the point!"
Dao Yuan's voice was like a booming bell, determined to pull Fang Hongxuan out of his unrealistic ideas.
To everyone's surprise, Fang Hongxuan still knelt down and relentlessly submitted, while simultaneously pulling out an extremely crumpled talisman from his clothes.
The talisman was clearly inscribed with the words "Chongde Mountain Crossing Good Lin Yuqing".
"It's actually an order from a master of the talisman sect?!"
Dao Yuan's expression of silence lasted only a moment before vanishing without a trace.
"What will you do with this order? Do you, you fool, intend to manipulate the Buddha Mother?!"
Fang Hongxuan, however, smiled.
"Master, please hear what I have to say before you blame me..."
