Chapter 166 - 151: Obtained Three Gods Again!

Chapter 166: Chapter 151: Obtained Three Gods Again!

The Scripture Pavilion of the Pure Land Zen Sect.

Chen Sha walked in, carrying the crippled body of Monastery Master I Heard in his hand.

This number one leader of the Buddhist Sect was not dead yet, nor would Chen Sha kill him. If the man died, everything he had done would be meaningless.

I Heard seemed to have his mobility sealed by the bloody Lotus mark on his chest. His entire body’s vital blood and True Qi had stagnated, leaving him only with the ability to speak.

After being brought into this Scripture Pavilion by Chen Sha, he already understood what Chen Sha intended to do.

"There are millions of scrolls hidden in this Scripture Pavilion. If you wish to find the Divine Skill inheritance belonging to my Buddhist Sect among them, abandon such wishful thinking."

Although I Heard was subdued, his mind still had not yielded to Chen Sha.

Chen Sha said calmly, "Are you not afraid I’ll burn your Scripture Pavilion to the ground by provoking me like this?"

I Heard sneered, "You are welcome to try."

If the inheritance of the Buddhist Sect was merely a single Scripture Pavilion, it would have been severed countless times over the past five or six thousand years.

Chen Sha smiled indifferently, "You still don’t know why I kept you alive, do you?"

I Heard said coldly, "For your ambition, I suppose. I am the leader of the Buddhist Sect. By keeping me alive, you can use me as a hostage to command the entire Buddhist Sect under the heavens."

Chen Sha looked at him. "Are you trying to say ’hold the emperor hostage to command the nobles’? Your single life isn’t that useful. Keeping you alive is just so you can still operate a Curse Skill to suffer the retribution on behalf of the child you harmed back then, transferring the effects of the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell onto yourself."

Hearing this, I Heard’s expression turned cold. "If that is your goal, then stop dreaming. Even now, I do not believe I was wrong back then. Since your Curse Skill requires me to cast it, I will outright refuse you."

Chen Sha stared quietly at I Heard.

"Unfortunately, you don’t have the right to refuse. Now, I will first have you personally pick out the Buddhist Sect’s classics for me."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Sha pointed a finger directly at the center of I Heard’s forehead.

I Heard instantly felt an extremely surging Spiritual Power invade through his forehead. It transformed into a Divine Spirit dressed in colorful robes and began to seize control of his consciousness.

"The Great Yellow Court Brain God!"

I Heard’s body and mind exploded in shock at this moment.

As the Monastery Master and primary leader of the Buddhist Sect, how could he not know the abilities within the Daoist Sect’s Great Yellow Court Scripture? The Twenty-four Gods Brain God Master Jueyuan unlocked Spiritual Power.

Similar to the Water Moon Temple’s Three Visions True Scripture and Spirit Observation Heart Method, it possessed the ability to manipulate people’s hearts and beguile others’ minds.

As the leader of the Buddhist Sect, I Heard had cultivated the Water Moon Temple’s Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell, making him even more aware of the terror at the spiritual level.

"Impossible! The Great Yellow Court Brain God is the hardest to cultivate among the Twenty-four Gods. How could you..."

Seeing his impending doom, I Heard roared in his consciousness. However, accompanied by a suppression of divine light from Brain God Master Jueyuan, this Monastery Master’s expression was instantly reduced to a blank, idiotic stare.

A short while later.

Bereft of his own thoughts, he followed Chen Sha’s orders, pulling out one Supreme Martial Arts Classics of the Buddhist Sect after another from the Scripture Pavilion.

Among them were the *Great Zen Ten Lands Scripture*, the *Sutra of Marrow Cleansing*, the *Dragon Subduing and Elephant Taming Skill*, the *Great Sun Buddha Palm*, the *Golden Bell Shield*, the *Prajna Palm*, the *Great Compassion Spell*, the *Thousand Leaves Palm*, and the *Great Hand Seal*...

Before long, a total of seventy or eighty Martial Arts manuals were piled up in front of Chen Sha.

Chen Sha sat cross-legged on the floor and began flipping through them one by one.

Upon reviewing them, he couldn’t help but exhale deeply. "Truly worthy of the foundation of one of the Three Religions."

There were a full fifty or sixty Upper Grandmaster Level Martial Arts here, as well as five Great Innate Level Martial Arts.

They were this Sect’s Ultimate Skill, the *Great Zen Ten Lands Scripture*, along with the *Sutra of Marrow Cleansing*, the *Dragon Subduing and Elephant Taming Skill*, the *Great Sun Buddha Palm*, and the *Golden Bell Shield*.

Chen Sha had personally experienced the power of all these Martial Arts.

Especially the *Sutra of Marrow Cleansing*, the *Great Sun Buddha Palm*, and the *Golden Bell Shield*, which had displayed superhuman might on that Lantuo Monk.

Looking at the three Cultivation Techniques, Chen Sha thought to himself, "The *Sutra of Marrow Cleansing* can indeed help me cultivate the ’Marrow God’..."

And when Chen Sha opened the Buddhist Sect’s Ultimate Skill, the *Great Zen Ten Lands Scripture*, he felt even more pleasantly surprised.

"There are actually far more corresponding elements in this scripture."

After clearly understanding the cultivation concepts within the *Great Zen Ten Lands Scripture*, Chen Sha experienced a complete epiphany.

"My Daoist Sect’s Great Yellow Court Scripture speaks of the ’Yellow Court Twenty-four Body Gods’. As fellow members of the Three Religions, some in the Buddhist Sect have also discovered the secrets of potential within the human organs and comprehended the cultivation method of the ’Three Meridians and Seven Chakras’."

The Three Meridians and Seven Chakras combined constituted the Ten Earth Realm.

Looking at it now, the Seven Chakras among the Three Meridians and Seven Chakras clearly corresponded to the locations of some Divine Spirits in the Great Yellow Court, only they were more generalized and categorized with a bit more complexity.

In the *Great Zen Ten Lands Scripture*, the Seven Chakras were stated as: the Crown Chakra, the Forehead Chakra, the Throat Chakra, the Heart Chakra, the Navel Chakra, the Mooladhara Chakra, and the Brahma Cakra.

The Crown Chakra was the top of the head, corresponding to the Hair God Xuan Fuhua.

The Forehead Chakra corresponded to the Eye God. After the Buddhist Sect cultivated it successfully, it was called "Eye Communication".

The Throat Chakra was the Throat God. Zhang Daoxuan called it the "Twelve-Story Tower", while the Dao Yi Sect called it the Hundred Exiles.

The Heart Chakra was where the Heart Spirit Huan Yangchang resided.

The Mooladhara Chakra was related to the perineum and the two Kidney Gods.

But Chen Sha had already successfully cultivated all of these.

Even the Demon Sect’s Celestial Demon Strategy contained cultivation methods for the skin, eyes, nose, and hair. From this, it was evident.

Chen Sha thought to himself, "Over thousands of years, the experts among the Three Religions all discovered the human body’s potential and named them differently. Although the names and Cultivation Dharma Sects are different, the underlying principles lead to the same destination."

He then looked at the remaining two chakras: the Navel Chakra.

It could correspond to Three Gods, one of which he had already cultivated: the Gastric God Tonglai Yu.

However, in the Buddhist Sect’s *Great Zen Ten Lands Scripture*, the cultivation of this "Navel Chakra" also extended to the areas of the large and small intestines.

Pondering over it carefully, Chen Sha found it not too hard to understand. The location of the Navel Chakra referred to the belly button. Before a baby was born, it relied on an umbilical cord for nutrition, making this area closest to the intestines and stomach...

Therefore, following the Navel Chakra, there were complementary cultivation methods for the intestinal and gastric organs.

These could correspond to the Large Intestine God Zhao Tengkang and the Small Intestine God Feng Songliu.

Just like that, Chen Sha had found matching Cultivation Techniques for three uncultivated Divine Spirits from the Buddhist Sect’s classics. He only needed to harvest enough True Qi within the Cosmic Light Fragments to once again cultivate three Divine Spirits.

But as Chen Sha carefully flipped through the annotations for the final chakra, the "Brahma Cakra," he couldn’t help but furrow his brow. "This final chakra, which is the Ten Earth Realm, has absolutely no correspondence with the Divine Spirits in the Great Yellow Court Scripture."

The first six chakras were all within the human body, but this seventh chakra was outside the human body.

The Brahma Cakra was located four finger-widths above the Crown Chakra. Leaving the top of the head, that was the location of the Brahma Cakra. Here, the human body radiated light.

Precisely because it could not be found on the physical body at all, this Ten Earth Realm was the most difficult to achieve. For thousands of years, no one in the Pure Land Zen Sect had ever set foot in this Realm.

And Chen Sha could not find a deity above the head in the Yellow Court Scripture either.

Only... As he carefully sorted through things at this moment, recalling the Secret Manuals of the Divine Spirit acupoints he had obtained from various people across major sects like Zhang Daoxuan, the Demon Sect, and the Buddhist Sect, a bold guess faintly formed in his heart.

"If the imagery of the human body’s potential Divine Spirits ultimately leads to the same destination through different paths, then is it possible that the cultivation method of the ’Twenty-four Body Gods of the Great Yellow Court’ created by Ancestral Master Chen Fuyao doesn’t represent the total number of all Divine Spirits in the human body? Perhaps it hasn’t reached the limit yet.

"What if the Divine Spirits in the human body far exceed the Twenty-four Gods?"

Chen Sha muttered to himself, "Could it be that after the Great Innate Realm, I will have to rely on myself to continue perfecting and walking this ’Path of Body Gods’?"

The Twenty-four Gods Great Success was the ultimate Perfection of the Great Innate Realm.

Yet, only Chen Sha knew that above the Great Innate Realm, there were Realms of the Broken and Great Vajra Levels.

But once the Twenty-four Gods were fully cultivated, without new Divine Spirits to continue his Cultivation, he would either have to switch to other Cultivation Techniques or continue developing the Great Yellow Court into a ’Broken Great Vajra’ Level Cultivation Technique himself.

PHEW.

Chen Sha slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

"I have currently successfully cultivated Sixteen Gods. Adding the newly acquired cultivation methods for Three Gods, in a few days I will possess the Power of Nineteen Gods. I am only five gods away from the true Great Success and Perfection of the Great Yellow Court...

"The day when I have no techniques left to cultivate is fast approaching. It seems I must carefully consider how to proceed in the future."

Chen Sha decided to return to Yuanjing first and take this I Heard back to save the person before doing anything else.

Before leaving, looking at those several Buddhist Sect scriptures, Chen Sha casually ignited a fire and burned them entirely to ashes. The enmity forged with the Pure Land Zen Sect was already as deep as the sea. Even if they had other inheritances, he would sever whatever he could without showing any misplaced mercy.

But as Chen Sha walked out of the Pure Land Zen Sect, he saw a red-browed, heavily bearded man waiting for him on the hill ahead with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Sect Leader Chen, I am Yan Chimei."

Chen Sha looked at the man and said calmly, "I sensed you ever since I was in Yuanjing City, fourth in the world, Yan Chimei. Had I not sensed that you were merely observing from the sidelines without any animosity, I would have dragged you out long ago. Now that you’ve shown yourself, what is the matter?"

If this were before the great battle in Yuanjing, Yan Chimei would absolutely never have allowed Chen Sha to speak to him in such a tone. However, after witnessing Chen Sha’s consecutive feats—killing four monks with a single punch, subsequently wiping out a thousand men, and defeating the combined forces of the Lantuo Monk and I Heard...

Yan Chimei did not mind Chen Sha’s tone in the slightest. He simply smiled and said, "I harbor no ill will. It’s just that after witnessing Sect Leader Chen’s strength with my own eyes, I feel it is high time my title as the fourth in the world changed hands. Sect Leader Chen is far more suited for this position than I am."

Chen Sha remained silent and prepared to flick his sleeves and leave.

Yan Chimei stroked his beard and laughed heartily. "Clearly, in Sect Leader Chen’s eyes, you are aiming for the position of number one in the world. The title of fourth in the world is of absolutely no use to you."

Chen Sha stood sideways and said indifferently, "What exactly do you want to say? I don’t have time to listen to you beat around the bush with nonsense."

Yan Chimei’s expression froze for a moment before he said, "Sect Leader Chen is a straightforward person, so I, Yan, will not hide it either. I, Yan, hope to see you fight Pang Saint. If you can kill him, I, Yan, will allow Sect Leader Chen to make any one request of me, and I will absolutely not decline."

Chen Sha raised an eyebrow and asked, "You have a grudge against Pang Saint?"

Yan Chimei smiled and said, "It should be quite normal for the third and fourth in the world to have a grudge, right?"

Chen Sha said calmly, "Even though a battle between me and those top three figures of the Martial Arts world under the heavens is inevitable, why should I fight on your behalf?"

Yan Chimei said, "It is precisely because a battle with them is inevitable that you won’t refuse my request. This is fundamentally a threshold you must encounter and step over on your path to the summit as the number one in the world. And I can tell you what the characteristics of all three of these men’s Martial Arts are."

Chen Sha looked at Yan Chimei in surprise.

Yan Chimei declared, "In this world, the person who understands the Martial Arts of the top three in the world best is none other than me."
