Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

212: Chapter 212 New entry: The True Form of Ten Thousand Buddhas!Supreme Creation Small Luo Grotto-Heaven, Hall of Longevity.

Gu Yan was currently using the haotian mirror to observe Ye Chen. Seeing the kid pull out a Void-Breaking Shuttle and flee faster than a rabbit, he couldn’t help but feel amused.

What’s wrong with this kid? Why is he so jumpy?

That girl was clearly an Opportunity delivered right to his doorstep, yet he just said ’fated to meet but not to be’ and slipped away.

Gu Yan watched, shaking his head, feeling a pang of regret for Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen’s tribulation aura is heavy, his vigilance is top-notch.

However, being overly cautious can sometimes lead to missing great opportunities.

For those who Cultivate the Dao, blindly avoiding tribulations is not the Righteous Path. The tribulations one must face will ultimately have to be faced.

Gu Yan had just used the haotian mirror to deduce. If Ye Chen had agreed to stay, he would indeed have encountered many hardships.

The cracks in the Secret Realm’s Formation would continuously expand, Yao Beasts would become more numerous, and internal strife would erupt within the Celestial Feather Race due to external threats.

As an outsider, Ye Chen would inevitably be dragged into it, facing suspicion, being used, and being pushed to the forefront of the storm.

For a few years at least, or even over a decade, he would find no peace.

Yet, at the end of hardship lies Opportunity.

If he could endure, help the Celestial Feather Race quell the demonic calamity and repair the Formation, he would obtain a supreme treasure guarded by the Celestial Feather Race for generations: the Primordial Spirit Feather.

This object was left behind when a divine avian shed its feathers during the dawn of the Spirit Realm’s creation, containing a wisp of Heavenly Dao Qi.

Obtaining and refining it would allow unimpeded Cultivation all the way to the Heavenly Immortal Realm in the future.

Furthermore, that girl, Ruo Yao, was no ordinary person either.

The blood of the Celestial Feather Race’s ancient imperial lineage flowed within her. If she became Ye Chen’s Dao Companion, their Dual Cultivation could help Ye Chen cleanse his Physical Body and purify his Bloodline.

Over time, Ye Chen’s Aptitude would improve by at least one grade.

Such a great fortune, which Ye Chen failed to see, Gu Yan saw clearly.

Yet, this kid ran away.

When it comes to Opportunity, once missed, it’s gone.

Gu Yan didn’t plan to enlighten him either. For someone entangled in tribulation aura, having such vigilance wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

He looked again in the mirror at the direction Ye Chen had fled.

Thinking to himself, if it were that kid Chu Feng, he’d probably hesitate repeatedly.

If it were Lin Fan, he might first feign compliance to probe the details before leaving.

Gu Yan then turned the haotian mirror towards the others.

Chu Feng and Lin Fan had encountered similar situations in the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Domain.

The two saved an injured woman in some ruins. The woman claimed to be the last descendant of a great Sect and was willing to pledge herself in marriage.

Chu Feng almost agreed, but was snapped awake by a slap from Lin Fan.

In the end, the two took the gift of thanks the woman offered and left. Only later did they learn the woman was bait from a local Demonic Path Sect, specially using a weak and delicate appearance to lure Cultivators.

There was a past precedent: a Disciple from a major local Sect once encountered this woman by chance at a Loose Cultivator market in the Eastern Sea. Seeing her pitiful state, he rescued her and kindly took her in for three months.

But this woman, with the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog, actually took advantage of the Disciple’s seclusion for Cultivation to secretly steal one of his life-bound Magical Artifacts.

Although the artifact was later recovered, the Disciple suffered severe damage to his Origin Qi, spending a full five years to restore his impaired Cultivation base.

As the saying goes, wildflowers by the roadside may look delicate and beautiful, but often conceal deadly poison. They should not be lightly trusted.

In the haotian mirror, members of the Taiyi Dao Sect and the rest of the Great Alliance of All Heavens and Worlds had also encountered Peach Blossom Tribulations, Master-Disciple Tribulations, Treasure Trove Tribulations, and various others, in greater or lesser degrees.

Gu Yan had thoroughly enjoyed this over-ten-year-long ’drama marathon’.

He had even forgotten to draw a trait on time seven years ago when he should have.

Seven years ago, he had just turned exactly twelve hundred years old, reaching the time when he could draw a trait.

But back then, he was deeply engrossed watching Chu Feng and Lin Fan being surrounded by a horde of Yao Beasts, their lives hanging by a thread, and he completely forgot about drawing the trait.

Although he remembered later, he got drawn into the experiences of other Disciples, delaying it again and again until today.

Gu Yan put down the haotian mirror, focused his mind, and the familiar seven-colored wheel appeared before his eyes.

He raised his hand and tapped.

The wheel’s pointer spun rapidly.

After a moment, the pointer gradually slowed down and stopped in the purple area.

[Draw successful]

[You have obtained the trait: 《Ten Thousand Buddha True Body · Purple》]

[《Ten Thousand Buddha True Body · Purple》: You can transform into a golden-bodied Buddha.

During the transformation, Buddha light radiates all around, impervious to all evils, causing demons to retreat.

Greatly enhances comprehension of Buddhist Cultivation Techniques, Divine Abilities, and Spells. Power of Buddhist Divine Abilities is doubled when used.

Furthermore, during the transformation, your own aura transforms into pure Buddhist aura. No means can spy on your true identity.

If disguising as a monk, your speech and actions will be completely natural. Even if a Buddha Patriarch were present, it would be difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood.]

[Attached Divine Ability: 《Great Compassionate Palm》: A single palm strike releases vast, mighty Buddha light, capable of separating life and death, severing Reincarnation.

When used against enemies, this palm contains supreme compassionate power, capable of dissolving the enemy’s killing intent and weakening the opponent’s Battle Intent.

If the opponent harbors malicious thoughts, this palm’s power doubles. If the opponent harbors benevolent thoughts, this palm only wounds without killing.

If used to save others, it can heal all external and internal injuries, even having miraculous effects on regenerating severed limbs and repairing Divine Souls.]

After reading, Gu Yan nodded slightly.

《Ten Thousand Buddha True Body · Purple》 is quite similar to the Dragon-Human True Body · Purple》 he obtained earlier. Both allow form transformation and come with an attached Divine Ability.

But to be honest, this trait is of rather limited use to Gu Yan.

He is now in the Immortal King Realm, his combat power not inferior to an Immortal Emperor’s. Even standing still, ordinary Immortals couldn’t harm him.

Transform into a Buddha? He doesn’t need to.

Disguise as a monk? He needs that even less.

Although the 《Great Compassionate Palm》 is profound, why would he need compassionate power against someone he could kill with a casual slap?

Moreover, with the red trait 《Foundation of the Great Dao: Red》 in his possession, his Comprehension Ability for any Dao techniques, Buddhist methods, or Confucian arts is supercharged if he wishes to learn them.

Even without this 《Ten Thousand Buddha True Body》, he could comprehend Buddhist Divine Abilities to their peak.

Still, at least it’s not the lowest-grade gray trait.

Gu Yan wasn’t overly disappointed.

When it comes to traits, drawing one is fate. If it can’t be used, then it can’t be used. It’s still better than having none.
