Chapter 494: 0322 I have a sword that can exchange the sun and the moon! (4k asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)

When Lu Chenzhou obtained the jade slip, a stream of information flowed into his mind.

Now that he’s come to his senses, he sorts through the information.

The jade slip is a transmission jade slip from Lanruo Temple.

Lanruo Temple belongs to the Heart Sect of the Buddhist school, primarily focusing on the method of [spell seal].

Spell seal technique is somewhat similar to the [spiritual abilities] of Po Suo.

Although the spell seal technique is considered a form of mental martial arts, it differs from physical martial arts and weapons techniques; here, it is classified as a [cultivation technique], not a [martial art].

"Heart Sect... Its approach feels similar to Zen Sect but delves deeper into spiritual cultivation."

The main content of the jade slip is the cultivation technique mantras, with little reference to various backgrounds.

Lu Chenzhou does not know whether there are other sects in the world where Lanruo Temple is located.

"Cultivating spell seals involves condensing a [spiritual platform] in the Mud Pill Palace with spiritual power, imprinting [true words of power] with the mind and will on the spiritual platform, and over time, carving out [true word seals]. By combining different [true word seals], spell seals with special powers can be formed."

Casting the spell seal consumes spiritual energy, which is referred to as [Buddha power] here, similar to the [spiritual energy] in Po Suo.

The higher the spiritual power, the stronger the Buddha power, much like the relationship between [intelligence] and the [blue bar] in old games.

Lu Chenzhou muttered, "It seems necessary to get a spiritual energy testing device over in Po Suo."

Only by determining the level of Buddha power first can one conveniently cast spell seals.

The monks of Lanruo Temple do it by feel.

With a modern mindset, Lu Chenzhou naturally wants to quantify and scientifically cast spells to avoid the crisis of depleting Buddha power.

After a bath and a change of clothes, he drank some tea, and when his mental efficiency improved, Lu Chenzhou began attempting to cultivate the spell seal technique.

"Thinking about it, why does this other world have methods similar to the Buddhist schools of Da Xia?"

Moreover, in the realm of spiritual cultivation, the research at Lanruo Temple is evidently more advanced.

"The Desolate Gods surely know; I won’t speculate aimlessly. Let’s enhance my strength first."

Though the Buddhist methods of the two worlds have taken different paths, their foundations are common.

With a background in Buddhism, Lu Chenzhou can readily understand the meaning of the mantras within.

"The Tiger Subduing Arhat spell seal requires the condensation of the [Lying Tiger Spiritual Platform], imprinting 36 kinds of true words, ultimately forming three spell seals: the [Vajra Seal], the [Tiger Subduing Seal], and the [Arhat Curse Seal]. However, my method is incomplete and can only construct the first [Vajra Seal], which is a protective seal."

The Vajra Seal’s protection gathers spiritual power with the mind to form an invisible Vajra barrier around the body.

With the protection of the Vajra, evil spirits are repelled, the mind is safeguarded, and enemy spiritual attacks can be resisted.

If fully mastered, reaching proficiency, the Vajra Seal could even manifest to defend against physical attacks like a grandmaster’s presence.

"Damn, isn’t this a high-level version of the ’Golden Bell Shield’?"

...

Early the next day.

At the public arena of Jiangnan Wu University.

A yellow-robed young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes twirled, wielding a hundred-pound heavy sword of mystic iron, spinning like a windmill unceasingly.

The air pressure generated by the sword’s formation swept through, transforming into a hurricane that made the onlookers below the stage unsteady.

The clash of gold and iron, and the three challengers from other martial arts universities were all defeated.

The young man smiled, "Thank you for letting me win."

The spectators were all amazed:

"Ye Lingyun! Ye Lingyun!"

"Chief Ye’s [Mountain Returning Sword] and [Nine Creeks Sword], both of which are middle-grade true skills, have reached perfection. He wields both heavy and light swords with ease — the heavy sword like a hammer, splitting Hua Mountain with strength, and the light sword like a creek, flowing continuously, using softness to overcome hardness, swift and fierce... Together, they make him nearly invincible among peer martial arts geniuses."

"Hua Mountain’s Yue Xiping is here. I wonder if he will challenge the chief after emerging from the Sword Tomb?"

"I’ve heard that Lu Chenzhou has also been at Jiangnan Wu University recently."

As Ye Lingyun’s figure gradually receded, he muttered to himself, "Lu Chenzhou is here too... does he want to seek enlightenment at the Sword Tomb?"

For some reason, his usually confident self felt a sense of urgency.

"Before the Water Mansion opens, I must reach the end realm and strive to be undefeated below the grandmaster level!"

...

"Phew, I’ve finally condensed the spiritual platform."

In the Inner Scenery Land, a golden spiritual platform composed of thirty-six lotus petals rotated slowly above the high heavens.

On the platform, a fierce, colorful tiger lay curled up within.

"Next, I need to imprint the true words and construct the spell seal."

He looked toward the Martial Arts Tree.

Arhat Curse Seal proficiency +3.

"It seems I can complete the first layer within a month."

He recited the true words in his mind, his hands changing gestures like a Buddha forming a seal.

A virtual golden lotus platform emerged beneath his feet, sacred and solemn.

"Dog Ghost, spit fire at me."

The Dog Ghost lay in the void, yawning.

Is there such a good thing?

It unhesitatingly spat a mouthful of green ghost fire, sweeping towards Lu Chenzhou.

The flames extended three zhang, capable of burning souls and turning the spirit to ash; martial artists struck by this would almost certainly die.

The next moment, a shocking scene occurred.

The green fire, like the Yangtze River encountering a mountain, split from Lu Chenzhou’s side, flowing away and disappearing without a trace.

An invisible barrier blocked in front of him.

Seeing this, Lu Chenzhou was very satisfied.

"Once the [Vajra Seal] is fully mastered, even a grandmaster’s spiritual shock should be manageable, right?"

He opened his phone’s [Lanruo Temple Chat Group].

These days, there was another new member in the group.

[Xuan Kong: Wutai Mountain Xuan Kong, I seek guidance from all friends and seniors.]

[Zhen Ding: Welcome, Wutai Mountain chief.]

[Ding Yuan: The Lanruo Temple Squad is growing, the Buddhist sect is looking for those with a talent for refining the heart to study the Heart Sutra together.
