One could say Lu Ren was able to cultivate the Future Buddha True Scripture to manifest the state of Hundred Forms Merging, all because the system completely overturned the cultivation of the scripture, reorganizing it according to its insight.
It wasn’t only the future; the Past Maitreya True Scripture was the same, existing in the past, neither unclean nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing, neither breaking nor losing.
If one were to solely cultivate the Past Maitreya True Scripture to the extreme, according to the meaning given by the system’s scripture, one could truly achieve immortality, keeping one’s body and Primordial Spirit eternally fixed at the previous moment, achieving true meaning of neither increasing nor decreasing.
Even in the face of devastating attacks, as long as a sliver of True Spirit remains in the world, recovery happens instantly. Thıs content belongs to novel[f]ire.net
Originally, this wasn’t attainable; it was more of an initial insight into exploring the realm system achieved.
Lu Ren said lightly, "Your scripture left too many backdoors and many mistakes; I just made some minor modifications."
Shakyamuni’s expression became manic, unable to accept it, he roared, "I have laid out plans for countless years, countless years just to have someone like you appear, and you dare to modify the cultivation technique on your own; do you know what you are doing?!"
Lu Ren’s face remained calm as he walked towards Shakyamuni step by step.
"I am curious whether your true body has also scattered the Taoism Fruit."
Approaching closely, Lu Ren extended his hand, his arm glowed with a faint crystalline brilliance, seemingly dispersing the darkness around the True Realm. Those eerie and inexplicable entities at both sides seemed to be burnt as if by acid, screeching desperately, wanting to leave.
At the moment his fingers touched Shakyamuni, the contacted area directly turned into countless points of stardust scattering.
Shakyamuni made no attempt to dodge; if he couldn’t influence the three scriptures within Lu Ren, then he had no function here and could only watch Lu Ren act against him.
"Looks like you miscalculated."
Witnessing Shakyamuni’s twisted face, he stared viciously and silently.
"I will remember you! Once my true body returns, I am sure to dissect you to see how you have changed the scripture."
Light burst forth from Lu Ren’s fingertips, completely dispersing Shakyamuni’s projection.
As the projection dissipated, the cold aura that had descended quietly disappeared, and Original Path completely recovered to its original state.
Lu Ren also then retreated from the Seeking Truth Realm; even with Chang’e’s given method of token condensation and entering the Seeking Truth Realm by identity plaque, staying for a long time might attract the gaze of inexplicable entities, especially on this particularly strange Original Path.
Should he continue forward?
His spirit and flesh were perfected, reaching the realm of absolute integration, where progress is no longer possible. It triggered the hidden methods Shakyamuni left behind, intending to seize his body.
Unfortunately, Shakyamuni did not anticipate that all scriptures Lu Ren cultivated had gone through system purification and sublimation, altering their intent completely.
If that is the case, what has Shakyamuni become? Was his mind completely polluted and twisted while pursuing the Extraordinary Tide?
He does not believe the Shakyamuni who originally left the Mahayana Buddhism was at first. It must be due to some reason that he changed.
"Cultivation, cultivation, cultivating to the end, they become lunatics..."
Lu Ren sighed in his heart, feeling slightly heavy as well. He wondered when Shakyamuni’s true body would appear, and if ancient immortal gods also begin to return, would the two sides clash because of it?
Strangely, considering this, Lu Ren found himself eager with anticipation.
It seems Huaxia needs to find a new habitat as the perfect backup location; nowadays, many realms rub against one another, with numerous heavenly passages, where there surely must be normal worlds among them.
Deep in thought, Lu Ren did not stop, continuing to move forward, along the way, Lu Ren underwent heart examination, evoking the most missing memories buried deep within.
Unfortunately, under the system’s extremely reassuring reminder, Lu Ren did not have time to experience the illusory cozy places; he was screened off by the cold prompt sound of the system and then completely dissipated.
All the way forward, Lu Ren even had a leisurely excursion mindset; apart from encountering his own mirror image and the sudden stirring of Shakyamuni which dampened his mood a bit, with his current strength and realm, he was not at all afraid of the calamities encountered on this path.
As long as he doesn’t enter the True Realm, all calamities for Lu Ren are just gentle showers and breezes, making him suddenly feel tasteless and without passion.
Suddenly, Lu Ren stepped into emptiness, and a weightless feeling of being suspended in the air and disconnected from the ground was instantly produced.
Before Lu Ren could react, his murky vision slightly rotated, and the ambient noises gradually rose to a bustle.
Just a moment of disorientation, what appeared before Lu Ren’s eyes was indeed a majestic and profoundly ancient city.
"Ding, you have entered an unnamed place, known as Original City."
Accompanied by the system’s prompt, Lu Ren withdrew his gaze and slowly scanned the lively commotion around him.
In Lu Ren’s view, this place is no different from an ancient market, with bustling sounds and movements being the low calls and haggling of those around.
"Torch remnants from the dawn of antiquity, freshly out of the furnace, everyone come quickly to see, illuminating your path, lest you stray and get completely lost in Wang City."
"Eight-Shell Turtle Shell, Dead Grass, whoever needs them can come!"
"Spiritual Vein Pill, just out of the furnace, hurry if you need it!"
This call for Spiritual Vein Pill just rang, and a huge crowd swarmed in, surrounding the vendor. In just moments, the Spiritual Vein Pill got completely cleared out; quite a best-seller.
Lu Ren watched everything before him a bit dumbfounded, what the hell, wasn’t I still on the Original Path earlier? There seemed to be a never-ending road ahead, so how did stepping into emptiness bring me to this place?
What made Lu Ren feel eerie is, even if he stepped into emptiness, given his perfect control over his body, he should have been able to immediately withdraw the force and step back.
But that step seemed to have triggered some mechanism that brought him here.
"Hey, stop looking, this is the end of the Original Path, Wang City!"
A somewhat childish voice rang, Lu Ren glanced around following the voice, finally lowering his head to look at the person only reaching his knee.
Lu Ren raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised to see the body before him seemingly only about 1.4 meters tall, short hair, beast ears atop her head, yet human ears still present as her head motioned, a fluffy white tail waving at the back.
With a calm expression, Lu Ren asked.
Upon hearing, the Beast Girl’s ears twitched slightly, her adorable little face showing displeasure.
"Are you a Buddhist Disciple? This is not your domain, you who wish to slay demons and exorcise evil, it is a bit difficult."
