Chapter 301: Enlightenment Under the Diamond Tree

Helian Yunji’s cervical vertebrae were crackling and pressing down, and he was about to lower his head.

He tried his best to fight back, veins popped out on his neck and his face turned red, but he still couldn’t change his posture of surrendering.

As a grandmaster, how could he be willing to surrender like this?

Helian Yunji’s body was covered with fairy runes, fairy mist was rising, and a large amount of light rain was surging out from his flesh and blood. It looked as if he was about to rise into the sky.

However, he tried his best and seemed to break through the fog, truly seeing the other party’s hazy but terrifying true figure, as if he was as unattainable as a god.

For a moment, Helian Yunji truly felt what despair was.

He exhausted all his strength just to see the truth and discover the gap between them.

Lu Zizai was wearing coarse linen clothes, his eyes were as clear as spring water, he was clearly a young boy, but now in Helian Yunji’s eyes, he was completely different, his whole body was filled with the charm of Taoism, the brilliant light was like ten suns across the sky, hidden in his flesh and blood.

Helian Yunji was stabbed so hard that he couldn’t open his eyes, and tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

He was shocked, and finally realized how some people evaluated Lu Zizai. Don’t judge the person in front of you by his realm, but look at him with the eyes of a pioneer.

“Lu Zizai is walking the same path again. Breaking through the barriers is not important to him. Every step he takes is about thinking about the future, and paving the way for the entire new system!”

This is a high evaluation of him by an old senior.

When Helian Yunji thought about this, his heart was beating fast. According to that kind of talk, it was totally inappropriate to use the current realm to estimate Lu Zizai’s strength.

If they were forced to compare with someone in the same realm, the other party could calmly look down on an opponent like him.

Helian Yunji had known about Lu Zizai for a long time and had investigated him secretly. He felt heavy-hearted at the moment as the other party had become even stronger than before.

“Crack!”

Helian Yunji’s entire spine made a sound and bent down. He tried his best but only discovered the truth. It was a great blow to him.

In an instant, the immortal runes on his body went out.

Helian Yunji was unable to resist. Facing the young man with a very calm expression, he lowered his head and bent his back.

“Forget it.” Lu Zizai waved his hand.

Helian Yunji suddenly felt his body relax, and the pressure that felt like the Flying Fairy Mountain disappeared from his body.

He stood up instantly, knowing that the other party had shown mercy. He felt embarrassed and disappointed, with extremely complicated emotions. He froze in place and didn’t say a word.

“If you still have questions, talk to Yu Gensheng.” Lu Zizai only said this simple and calm sentence, and then he stopped looking at him and looked at another person not far away.

Su Yuxiao’s whole body suddenly tensed up. As a grand master of the immortal path, he felt horrified. Why would he be in this situation with his current status?

However, he had this experience, as if he was being looked down upon by a fairy standing in a cave in the clouds, emitting billions of rays of light.

Two months ago, he had met Lu Zizai and suffered a great loss, but now he found that the distance between them had become even greater.

“Click.”

Grandmaster Su Yuxiao’s entire spine was cracking, and his feet were piercing the ground. He also bent down and lowered his head. No matter how he resisted, he could not withstand the invisible pressure.

He was furious, and then horrified. He was not afraid of his opponent’s high starting point, but he was afraid that his opponent’s skills would improve significantly every time they met, and the gap between them could no longer be caught up.

Lu Zizai looked at him without saying anything, just stared at him briefly.

To outsiders, it seemed that as soon as Lu Zi turned around, Grandmaster Su Yuxiao bowed to greet him.

Then, Lu Zizai took a step forward, leaving a glowing footprint, and reached the end of the horizon.

He left the immortal tomb without saying much.

This area is completely silent.

Many people were shocked. After seeing the young man, the two grand masters actually bowed their heads one after another.

Everyone knows that this is not voluntary!

Helian Yunji’s face turned pale and blue, and he stood still.

In addition to looking unhappy, Su Yuxiao also felt quite pressured. The other party did not say a word to him and his attitude towards him was obviously colder.

In this situation, he couldn’t possibly take action again. Otherwise, if Lu Zizai really reappeared, he would not only lose face.

Many people were very emotional and actually wanted to discuss it, but since it involved the reputation of the two grand masters, they could only choose to keep silent.

At the end of the horizon, an old man in gray appeared with his sleeves fluttering. It was Yu Gensheng. In the blink of an eye, he came closer and clasped his fists to Helian Yunji.

“Fellow Daoist, please come this way, let’s have a chat. In fact, this is just a quarrel between the younger generation, it’s nothing.”

Helian Yunji felt a rage in his heart that was difficult to vent, but he knew that he couldn’t turn the situation around at the moment, and Yu Gensheng was giving him a way out, so he invited him to go to the mountain city to talk and leave.

He nodded to Su Yuxiao, accepting his favor.

Yu Gensheng ignored Su Yuxiao, causing the latter to look gloomy and disappear without saying a word.

Several great masters left afterimages on the spot, and disappeared in a flash.

“The Yuxian Sect is known as an immortal sect, and my Helian family even has an old immortal. Yet you guys act so arbitrarily…” Helian Yunji was upset and spoke on the way.

Yu Gensheng smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, calm down. There is no need for conflicts between young people to escalate to such a high level. You and I have both experienced our youth, and everyone has had a hot-blooded and impulsive time.”

Then, he said seriously, “The Immortal Path invites people from the New Life Path and the Secret Sect to come here to participate in the big event. I don’t think you want to destroy the tacit understanding reached between the ancestors, right?”

Then, Yu Gensheng spoke calmly again: “Besides, there may be old masters who have reached the seventh realm in our new life. There may still be people in the world. For example, the Tathagata in the past, the Yuqing of the previous generation and others, maybe one day they will come out to stretch their muscles and meet their old friend Helian the old celestial being.”

Helian Yunji turned his head and looked at the old man who had only a hundred hairs. This man was a dagger hidden in his heart, and he said both soft and hard words.

The key point is that Yu Gensheng was neither humble nor arrogant, and he spoke the truth.

Helian Yunji felt a chill in his heart. He had heard rumors about the ancestors of Xinsheng Road, but no one knew whether they were really dead or not.

“During the great pioneering period, internal fighting is strictly prohibited. If anyone dares to target one of our camps, no counterattack is excessive. Fellow Daoist, look at this memory crystal. Your descendant is really unscrupulous…” Yu Gensheng handed him a glowing crystal.

Helian Yunji was stunned. The other party had recorded the entire conflict process, which meant he was well prepared.

He secretly expressed his frustration. This matter… Alas.

……

In the Immortal Tomb area, no one had expected that things would end like this. Even with the Helian family’s grandmaster in person, Qin Ming was safe and sound.

A heavy rainstorm was about to hit the ground, but it suddenly dissipated.

After several great masters left, people finally spoke freely.

Many people looked at Qin Ming with strange eyes. This young man’s status in the freshman class was really not low!
“The elders of the Tathagata Sect, the Six Imperial Guardians, the Yin Yang Temple, the Five Elements Palace, etc., all nodded to him, showing their attitude and thinking highly of him.”

The most important thing is that Lu Zizai came in person and was willing to make the two grand masters bow their heads.

Yao Ruoxian felt that she had missed an opportunity to do a favor, and said to herself, “I should have just given him the Thunder King Bird earlier.”

Pei Shuyan was deeply surprised. In their opinion, Qin Ming’s life was safe, but he would most likely suffer a severe reprimand and “education” from the Helian family today.

Jiang Ran was evaluating what would happen if she beat Helian Zhaoyu up.
Cui He said to himself: “Oh, being too rigid will lead to failure. We are in the process of opening up the vast land. It is good that there are no external enemies. Otherwise, anything could happen in the chaos of war.”

After hearing the news, Helian Zhaoyu stood up suddenly. This time he could not keep his calm expression. His own grandfather, who was a grandmaster, was forced to bow his head.

His face was livid; it was all because of him.

Wei Cheng and Luo Jingxiao were also stunned. The way things had developed was completely beyond their expectations.

“Can we arrange a fair fight? I want to ‘rub’ him with my own hands!” said the black-clothed young man Wei Cheng.

“A fight of internal friction probably won’t work.” Luo Jingxiao shook his head. He also wished he could take part in the fight himself.

……

The tombs are as big as mountains.

Qin Ming is climbing mountains and visiting graves.

There is a strong vitality here, it doesn’t feel like entering the land of the dead at all, and the big tomb is full of lights.

“Did the tomb owner eat too well when he was alive, or is he causing trouble after his death?” Qin Ming felt that the herbs all over the grave were due to the excessive accumulation of spiritual substances here.

“Forget it, I really can’t think about it too much. I’ll just think of this place as a fertile medicinal field.” Qin Ming tried his best not to associate elixirs with corpses, flesh and blood.

His goal was clear: the scriptures on the stone wall on the top of the mountain and the Vajra tree.

The soil of the big tomb was actually shiny. When I grabbed a handful of it in my hand, I could feel that all the soil particles had a slightly warm and shiny luster, which was quite extraordinary.

On top of the tomb, the diamond tree is not very tall, only about six feet tall. Its trunk is as vigorous as a dragon, and its old bark is cracked like scales. From the leaves to the branches, it is golden in color.

On the Vajra tree, there are dozens of Vajra fruits as big as fists hanging.

The entire mountain top was glowing with golden light because of this tree, and there was a faint fairy mist lingering around.

This doesn’t look like a grave, but more like a piece of pure land.

The so-called stone wall in front of us is most likely a broken tombstone that fell on the grave.

The words on the stone wall are shining brightly, and every stroke has the rhythm of Taoism, showing the vicissitudes of life and antiquity. They seem to be the embodiment of some kind of true scriptures.

Qin Ming wondered if this was some truth that emerged from the tomb and was manifesting itself externally?
If this is the case, the tomb owner was extremely terrifying back then, and this scripture was able to take shape after his death, so it should be considered a remnant of his highest achievement during his lifetime.

Qin Ming tried to approach the Vajra Tree, but it was emitting golden light, preventing people from approaching. It was as if it had an immortal aura that was difficult to shake and it was impossible to pick its fruit.

He was not in a hurry, but sat cross-legged under a tree, facing the stone wall, ready to comprehend seriously.

“Vajra represents immortality and indestructibility, and is also regarded as a protective force.”

Qin Ming pondered that if this Vajra Tree was the embodiment of the tomb owner’s skills during his lifetime, then it could also mean that it was related to the new life path and that the path was similar.

He did not immediately resonate with the emotion, but instead tried to comprehend it on his own. He was afraid that the shock would give him a splitting headache and he would faint.

Qin Ming had experience with this. He had had several tragic experiences before, and his brain almost became a mess.

“After you have a good understanding of it, you can try it again. The brief resonance can relieve a lot of pressure for me.”

In fact, if the scriptures are complete, he doesn’t have to resonate with them.

After reading the scriptures, Qin Ming stepped back slightly and did not touch them, so as to avoid being immersed in them unconsciously and getting “trapped”.

“It’s really hard.”

He frowned, read it from beginning to end several times, and repeatedly pondered it. He found that the meaning of this scripture was extremely profound. At each critical juncture, this scripture seemed to be missing something.

Qin Ming thought hard, closed his eyes, and tried to comprehend the true scriptures with his heart. Based on his initial instinctive perception, he realized that the meaning of this scripture was very important to him.

However, there is a high possibility that it is a residual method.

Gradually, Qin Ming began to understand. These scriptures were like pieces of shining fragments, and each small paragraph was a “secret recipe” for strengthening the body.

They are incoherent, and each paragraph is like a jewel or a beautiful jade, scattered on the ground in a disorderly and irregular manner.

Obviously, some of the beautiful jade and precious pearls are still missing.

The most important thing is that it lacks a main thread that can connect all the beautiful jades and jewels.

Each paragraph is like a “small prescription”. If they are connected together into a system, they will become a “rare medicine” to strengthen oneself.

“Vajra, immortality, power to protect the way, indestructible body…” Qin Ming comprehended many fragments of methods from these not very coherent scriptures.

Just these gains made the trip worthwhile.

People saw Wei Cheng and Luo Jingxiao appear. Their faces had been treated with the secret method of the immortal way and applied with magical medicine, and the swelling had gone down.

The opportunity to visit the Immortal Tomb is right here, they can’t possibly give it up.

People saw that Luo Jingxiao, dressed in purple, went directly into the forbidden gap and climbed up the tall immortal tomb to comprehend the scriptures.

Is he trying to have a secret competition?
Wu Yaozu was very dissatisfied and said, “Didn’t you see someone meditating inside? We all avoided him, but this guy did it on purpose and went straight in.”

He knew that Qin Ming had an amazing level of comprehension and he didn’t want to disturb him, so he waited outside and didn’t join him in comprehending.

“That is the true scripture of the path to immortality. Can you understand it?” Luo Jingxiao responded bluntly.

“You really have become a sharp-tongued person.” Xiao Wu said tauntingly.

“You…” Luo Jingxiao almost got angry and started fighting. This was insulting him for having “changed his baby teeth”.

An old man appeared and sternly warned: “No one is allowed to take action here, otherwise they will be punished!”

Luo Jingxiao was already in the third realm, and he had borrowed a rare treasure to aid him in his enlightenment, so he really wanted to defeat Qin Ming here.

Wu Yaozu and Xiang Yiwu were worried, so they followed him in, fearing that this guy would do something shady in secret.

Many people looked at him sideways, as the feud between these people was obviously not over yet.

In the distance, Helian Zhaoyu appeared in a black robe and watched quietly.

Wei Cheng, who was standing beside him, said, “Some people brag about his natural talent, but that is the scripture of my immortal path. Can he understand it? Zhaoyu, you have already comprehended part of it. You should go in and continue to comprehend it, so as to make him look dull and dim.”

On top of the big tomb, Qin Ming comprehended those incoherent paragraphs individually.

He felt like he had unearthed a priceless string of beads. Although the string was broken and the pearls were scattered all over the ground, there was still a chance to string them together again.

He took a deep breath and prepared to resonate cautiously.

It was his first time, so he would definitely just try it out briefly. He wouldn’t rush in like he did in the past.

In an instant, his mind was highly concentrated, and he indeed sensed something on the top of the tomb, resonating with something extraordinary, but unlike what he expected, he did not feel any impact.

“This is the pure embodiment of the true scripture. It does not have the confused thoughts of a dying person, nor does it have the torrent of terrifying emotions.” Qin Ming was very surprised.

Or it could be said that this lingering emotion is very pure, fully reflecting the charm of the technique!
Qin Ming was not shocked to the point of having a splitting headache. He looked at the extraordinary sight quite calmly. The interior of the tomb was glowing, with golden rays emerging one after another with a strong Taoist charm. Some of them took the form of words and were imprinted on the stone wall.

Some of the golden clouds turned into shapes, rushed up, and then fell among the earth and rocks.

There was also a rich golden torrent that permeated the top area of ​​the tomb, turning an ordinary tree into light gold.

As time passed, with the nourishment accumulated over the years, who knows how many years had passed, the golden glow in the tomb turned an ordinary tree into a diamond tree!
Qin Ming finally understood what was going on here.

In the past, the owner of the tomb was extremely powerful during his lifetime, and many years after his death, his body remained as immortal as a diamond.

But he was no longer alive after all, and the condensed Taoist rhyme that he had cultivated during his lifetime began to dissipate and gradually evaporated from the huge tomb.

When a normal person dies, everything is gone.

However, there was a Vajra rhythm in this person’s body, which was like an indestructible substance. It turned into golden clouds and evolved into all kinds of magical scenes outside the big tomb, and even gave birth to Vajra treasure trees.

“This is equivalent to dispersing the power. After the Vajra Immortal True Meaning is released, it still forms its own chapter, materializes, changes its form and stays here.”

Qin Ming was quite shocked. The owner of this tomb must have been a very remarkable person when he was alive!

Although that person is dead, his true skills and scriptures are still there, and his spirit is still there, in the grave, on this stone wall, and a large part of it is manifested near the Vajra Tree.

At the same time, he was also relieved that this Vajra Tree was not rooted in a corpse, nor did it absorb rotten flesh and blood to regenerate. It was far more sacred than he had imagined.

“The carrier of true power, the treasure tree!”

His eyes suddenly became hot, and he could recover the true scriptures that were scattered here in the past!
Qin Ming saw Luo Jingxiao climbing the grave, but he didn’t care. This was the place where the purest true energy and spirit were being practiced, without so many complicated thoughts. He could handle it and wouldn’t be injured by the impact.

He had already seen the true skills scattered on the stone wall. This was the most intuitive meaning of the scriptures, still expressed in the form of text.

Afterwards, he walked on the big tomb and appeared in the areas where golden clouds were scattered, absorbing and refining the true charm of the skills one by one.

Walking on the graves gave Qin Ming a strange feeling.

When Luo Jingxiao, dressed in purple, arrived at the top of the tomb, he saw Qin Ming already sitting cross-legged near the Vajra Tree.

Wu Yaozu came up and said, “Brother Ming, just pretend that this kid who’s changing his milk teeth doesn’t exist.”

Xiang Yiwu said: “Don’t worry, just go and understand the Dao. We will help you protect the Dharma.”

Although Qin Ming was not afraid of Luo Jingxiao, he still smiled and nodded.

The two of them stood guard here, staring at the young man in purple in front of them to prevent him from doing anything weird.

Luo Jingxiao glanced at them with a cold gaze, then sat quietly in front of the stone wall, holding a snow-white Bodhi seed that vaguely had “five orifices”.

This is a rare treasure produced by the Bodhi tree in the outer world, which can help people attain enlightenment.

It is said that the seven-aperture Bodhi seed, which is difficult to produce in three hundred years, can bring people sudden enlightenment.

As for the legendary Nine-Aperture Bodhi Seed, the immortal tree has been planted for more than two thousand years, but has not produced a single one so far.

“This is the scripture of my immortal family. All you can do here is… eat corpses!” There was no one else here, so Luo Jingxiao did not hide it.

Wu Yaozu said, “Luo Ruya, you have forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed, and you want to look for your teeth on the ground again, right?”

However, no matter how he scolded and interfered, the young man in purple opposite him did not react excessively. Instead, he looked peaceful and smiled.

This is the magic of the Five Apertures Bodhi, which can ensure that people are not disturbed by the outside world and immersed in a state of emptiness and clarity.

Luo Jingxiao held a five-aperture Bodhi as white as mutton-fat jade in his hand, and recited scriptures on the stone wall to deepen his understanding.

Wu Yaozu wanted to beat him up, but after deliberately disturbing others, this guy became quiet instead.

“It doesn’t matter!” Qin Ming shook his head. This had no effect on him.

He sat cross-legged under the Vajra Tree and began to explore the fragments of true power.

For an instant, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes. Near this precious tree, a large amount of golden clouds condensed, which were all scattered rare jewels.

Some fragments even carry dangerous fist meanings, while others bear extremely vague fingerprints that have not been erased after thousands of years.

Qin Ming captured the rhyme of the true power hanging near the treasure tree, and then fiddled with it. He was reorganizing the scriptures and trying to piece them together.

For a moment, in front of him, golden fragments were arranged one after another.

It was rather complicated at first, but as it was pieced together, the true power became apparent. It was a materialized scripture, assembled in the most natural and labor-saving way, and naturally it was in its most original form.

Qin Ming had a smile on his face and was filled with joy in his heart. He could indeed pick up the true scripture that should have disappeared in the ancient tomb.

A book filled with golden words slowly takes shape here, page by page, turning pages automatically as it is reorganized.

Qin Ming didn’t blink, and kept it in mind seriously.

“Hmm?” Luo Jingxiao, holding the Five-Aperture Bodhi Seed, felt that there was something in front of him attracting him.

It has to be said that the strange Bodhi seeds produced by the ancient tree in the foreign land do have magical uses.

Luo Jingxiao was surprised to find that the fluctuations that attracted him were near Qin Ming.

His heart was shocked. Could it be that the people on the New Life Path could really comprehend the secrets of the Immortal Path?
He simply stood up and walked forward, urging the snow-white Bodhi seed in his hand, causing the mysterious texture on it to ripple softly.

Luo Jingxiao cannot see the true scriptures, but the Bodhi seeds can help him gain some insights.

After all, Qin Ming has already condensed the scriptures again.

Qin Ming took a quick glance and immediately understood what was going on. This person wanted to “steal the scriptures” and use the mysterious Bodhi seeds to intercept other people’s insights.

Qin Ming remained calm and mobilized two special golden fragments, one of which still had a faint fist meaning, and the other carried a vague fingerprint, and he sent them over directly.

In an instant, the blurred fingerprints shattered the Bodhi seed and hit Luo Jingxiao’s chest like a heavy iron rod, causing blood to spurt from his mouth.

He was extremely shocked. What was going on? Was he suffering the backlash of his enlightenment?
Luo Jingxiao saw it clearly. The three people opposite him did not move, and he was indeed injured by some kind of Taoist rhyme.

Qin Ming was quite surprised. After thousands of years, that kind of blurry fingerprint could still hurt someone in the third realm. How strong must he have been back then?

He didn’t hesitate and moved the fragments with fist intent and hit Luo Jingxiao’s knees.

With a thud, Luo Jingxiao knelt on the ground. His heart trembled. The Taoism seemed to be revived here. Was the true power of the strong man in the big tomb not yet dissipated?

“This…he even knelt down to us?” Xiao Wu was puzzled, and then accepted such kneeling with a smile.

At this time, Qin Ming had completely pieced together the scriptures. For a moment, the golden words were like a trickle, flowing into his heart and sinking into his spiritual field.

The real power was fully reorganized, and the Vajra Tree seemed to have some sense, and it moved without wind, pouring down brilliant golden light, covering Qin Ming who was sitting cross-legged under the tree.

Xiang Yiwu and Wu Yaozu, who were standing on both sides of him, were also entangled by the falling golden clouds.

Only Luo Jingxiao opened his eyes wide in shock. He knelt there, unable to get up for a while, staring at the astonishing sight in front of him.

Many people outside the tomb saw this scene and were all dumbfounded.

“The three people from Xinsheng Road attained enlightenment under the Diamond Tree?”

“Is Luo Jingxiao so shocked that he bows down in worship?”

Under the Vajra Tree, Qin Ming closed his eyes. After bathing in the golden mist, he looked solemn and dignified, and comprehended the mysterious scriptures.
