Chapter 505 Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, Breakthrough to the Human Immortal Realm
This is not all that Li Muyang gained from his ordinary past life. They all understand the principle of moderation. Although the Great Dao of Time and Space is magical and can be cultivated through this method, it cannot be used without limit.
His past life served as a cautionary tale; that's how he ruined himself.
Therefore, Li Muyang still has to take it one step at a time.
"So, what realm are you at now?" Li Muyang asked curiously. Although he looked exactly the same as Li Muyang had when he left, Li Muyang was certain that he was not as simple as he appeared!
Bodhi, in his past life, gave a wicked smile: "Hehe! Guess?"
"Guess if I guess or not?" Li Muyang chuckled and teased, then stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment: "...Golden Immortal?"
Bodhi's past self smiled even more mysteriously: "That's not right."
"Is it too high or too low?" Li Muyang asked, puzzled.
"Of course it's too low!" Bodhi shrugged, a helpless (pretentious) expression on his face, and teased, "Main body, have some confidence in me, okay! I successfully filled in the past timeline of this world! I've lived from the ancient mythological era to the present!"
"When you left, the world's upper limit was already at the Golden Immortal level! At that time, this world had just begun to regain its vitality! Those innate saints had not yet been born! So much time has passed, how could I still be at the Golden Immortal level? How could I not break through the barrier?"
At this point, the past Bodhi incarnation paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "By the way, since I have completed the spacetime continuum, I have another very special gift for you!"
Li Muyang wasn't particularly interested in the grand gift; he was more interested in the Bodhi Patriarch's realm of understanding: "What exactly is that realm?"
It wasn't that he couldn't guess, but that he dared not guess! The Golden Immortal was already making Li Muyang break out in a cold sweat; if it were even higher…
It's important to understand that the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique is not merely a supernatural power over time and space, but an eternal supernatural power, spanning countless ages! In other words, whatever realm Bodhi Patriarch is at, Li Muyang's original body can quickly reach that realm! Basically, unless a method capable of killing across time and space appears, Li Muyang's original body's path forward is already clear!
Bodhi Patriarch no longer concealed his cultivation level and slowly revealed it: "Undying Immortal King! Taiyi Realm!"
“Actually, after you returned to this world and completed the spacetime loop, I was already able to take another step forward and reach the Eternal Great Luo Realm. However, for safety’s sake, I think it’s necessary to pause my cultivation and wait for you. This is not only good for you, but also good for me.”
At this point, Patriarch Bodhi raised his hand and pointed to the empty space beside him. A futon appeared there. This futon looked ordinary, but upon closer inspection, it felt unfathomable. The great way is simple, returning to one's true nature, and it was by no means an ordinary thing.
Bodhi Patriarch said, "Since we're already here, and the timing is perfect, shall we now break through to the Immortal Realm?"
Li Muyang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled knowingly: "Of course!"
Seeing Li Muyang sit down on the futon without hesitation, begin to calm his mind and prepare to break through to the Immortal Realm, the Bodhi Patriarch's smile grew even more sincere.
Perhaps he had changed a lot, but seeing his original form, which was exactly the same as before, filled him with a myriad of emotions. This caused him, whose original realm was already Taiyi, to break through his mental state once again! Seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as not a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain again.
These three stages must be progressed step by step! If you don't follow the order, then you're on a heretical path!
Bodhi Patriarch and Li Muyang complemented each other. The relationship between the main body and the avatar exists through the Great Luo Dao Fruit of Spacetime, which can be said to be the most reliable relationship! Therefore, there is no such thing as betrayal. If anyone had other intentions, then they would be betraying themselves!
To put it bluntly, if Bodhi Patriarch truly wanted to betray Li Muyang, take charge of his own affairs, and completely sever ties with him, then his first step would be to completely sever the connection with the Time-Space Great Luo Dao Fruit.
In this way, a large portion of his cultivation over the years will have to be returned to the Great Luo Dao Fruit of Time and Space.
Otherwise? Do you really think that Patriarch Bodhi possessed his current characteristics solely because of a primordial Bodhi tree? That's impossible! Limited by the world's upper limit, Patriarch Bodhi could at most reach the Golden Immortal realm, and even then, he was still a Golden Immortal constrained by the world! To break free from the world's constraints, he could only rely on the Great Luo Dao Fruit of Spacetime!
Therefore, the two complement each other.
However, the current Bodhi Patriarch's expression towards Li Muyang is like that of an elder looking at a junior.
After all, he was a patriarch. Over the years, Patriarch Bodhi has taught countless disciples. Most importantly, Patriarch Bodhi only had one requirement for teaching his disciples.
I don't care about talent, personality, or family background; I only care if they are pleasing to the eye.
The teachings extended far beyond cultivation; they encompassed a wide range of subjects, including painting, music, cooking, a craft, a supernatural power, and even the art of slaying dragons.
Therefore, the gap between the fellow disciples was huge! The strong were extremely strong, while the weak... had long since passed away.
The first disciple taught by Bodhi Patriarch is still alive. However, the youngest of the first batch of disciples he accepted has already reincarnated countless times.
Of course, among his disciples, there were naturally some...
Ahem, let's not talk about that for now.
Li Muyang only refined a small amount of the power fed back by Bodhi Patriarch, which was enough to break through to the Immortal Realm. If it weren't for the need to prevent himself from completely becoming like Bodhi Patriarch, he would have broken through even faster if he had absorbed it all.
However, this was not what Bodhi Patriarch and he wanted. The primary and secondary relationship was always with Li Muyang in charge, and in return, Li Muyang gave Bodhi Patriarch the respect and trust he deserved.
The reason is that the memories of Bodhi Patriarch are too heavy for Li Muyang at present! He is far from being able to bear them! If he doesn't want to become unlike himself, then he certainly can't just copy and imitate them blindly.
It's unclear how much time passed, but suddenly an aura surged from Li Muyang's body. Just as Bodhi Patriarch was about to help cover it up, the aura that had just erupted from Li Muyang's body was instantly withdrawn into his body. His entire being constantly switched between illusion and reality, and his aura between existence and non-existence also switched rapidly. It was only after a long time that he returned to calm.
With spring in full bloom, the Dharma realm is beginning to take shape!
A paradise on earth has been created.
He looked no different from before, but in reality, he had completely concealed his aura. His life realm had undergone a transformation, and now Li Muyang could confidently call himself an immortal.
Bodhi Patriarch smiled wryly, tapped his head with his whisk and mocked himself: "It's been too long. I didn't expect to forget even the steps to become an immortal. I'm so confused, I'm really getting senile!"
Li Muyang slowly opened his eyes, feeling the evolution of his body and the power contained within him, and he was in an excellent mood!
If you can still remain calm and composed after overcoming all these challenges, then it can only mean that you have lost your drive to succeed.
"I won't thank you enough for now. Just let me know if you ever need anything in the future," Li Muyang solemnly promised. Although he probably couldn't help Bodhi Patriarch much right now, he still had to express his gratitude.
Bodhi Patriarch smiled and said, "Why are we saying these things between us? We share both prosperity and adversity."
"So what should I do next?" Li Muyang asked leisurely. "And what about you?"
"Why ask me what you should do, my true self?" Bodhi Patriarch replied with a gentle smile and leisurely pace, "As for me... I'll stay here for now; I'm not comfortable staying anywhere else."
"Of course, if you ever go to a world that can accommodate a Taiyi Realm expert, you can call me anytime. Don't hesitate to ask for my help if you need it."
The answer from Patriarch Bodhi was within Li Muyang's expectations. His small world was still too low-level, barely able to accommodate a Taiyi Realm being. In fact, the Bodhi Ancient Tree planted in his small world had severely limited its development and growth space.
It would indeed be difficult for him to return to the small world now that the Bodhi Tree, which is currently in the Taiyi Realm, is in a position of power.
Even the upper limit of this world... has not changed. It is still at the level of Immortal Golden Immortal. It's just that Patriarch Bodhi used the power of the Great Luo Dao Fruit of Time and Space to create a small world for himself, which is the space in front of us now, so that it can accommodate his Taiyi body.
Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave.
"Then where did this Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect come from?" Li Muyang pointed to the words on the doorplate with a blank expression and complained.
I don't know what Bodhi Patriarch was thinking, but he carved a line of words on the stone tablet outside the Taoist temple, which was "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect", plus the two sides at the entrance...
Bodhi Patriarch's lips twitched: "What? As the patriarch of a sect with cheat codes, I have to give my sect a name, right?"
"Of course! Whatever makes you happy!" What else could Li Muyang say? It's their sect, so as long as they're happy.
Moreover, according to the feedback that Li Muyang just received from some of the Bodhi Patriarchs, this small world is just the place where the Bodhi Patriarchs lived after breaking through to the Taiyi Realm, but its appearance is a strict replica of how he looked when he left.
Yes, this is a replica made by Bodhi Patriarch. What level of cultivation does Li Muyang have? How could something he created last this long? How could it possibly remain intact after such a long period of erosion?
Therefore, apart from the students taught by Bodhi Patriarch in the early days who came to this world, the rest of him, when teaching knowledge, were truly at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave.
That is, the heart.
A fleeting dream!
It was created by the Bodhi Patriarch, a world between dreams and reality, illusion and truth, where dreams can still influence reality.
It is also where he usually teaches and educates students.
Li Muyang was able to withstand the influence from Bodhi Patriarch and the Taiyi Realm because there was a certain connection between them; other beings could not withstand it!
The fact that mortal beings were not corrupted into devout believers by Bodhi Patriarch is already a testament to his deliberate restraint in influencing them! Those in the celestial realm, however, are even more acutely aware of Bodhi Patriarch's power!
