Meng Qi's face twitched slightly, this is an inescapable fate!

  Of course, fantasy is fantasy, and making the best of a bad situation is just that. He clearly knew that for now he could only madly sprint down this "wrong path", the farther he ran the more distant he became. Who would have thought that when he entered the cycle world he basically had no ability to protect himself? In order to survive, he had no choice but to choose this road.

  Since you've made a choice, then abandon complaints and laziness, and walk forward with determination.

  Besides, following this path may not necessarily deviate from one's "ideal"!

  Meng Qi has been relying on his familiarity with most of the non-native divine techniques in the "Exchange Spectrum" to plan the advancement of his main cultivation technique.

  He didn't wish to go all the way with Buddhism, so he set his sights on a non-Buddhist, peerless skill that could perfectly merge Iron Shirt and Golden Bell Cover.

  Hehe, Qi Shixiong grabbed the "Hun Tian Bao Jian" first, no big deal, my real target is the "Ba Jiu Xuan Gong"!

  Seeing Meng Qi's changing expression, Xuan Bei smiled and shook his head: "You are not like Zhen Hui, he is single-minded, calm and focused, secretly in harmony with the true meaning of Buddhism, so I will let him learn the ultimate skill 'Nianhua Zhi'."

  Next to Zhen Hui, he didn't mention his own self-awareness at all, and was still staring at Meng Qi in a daze. His senior brother had said before that he yearned for the ultimate skills of Mo Ke Zhi, Nian Hua Zhi, Wu Xiang Jie Zhi, Yi Sou Du Jiang, etc., no wonder he was a bit unhappy.

  "And you, with your restless nature, will inevitably encounter danger when traveling the world in the future. Given that you have a foundation in Iron Shirt, cultivating 'Golden Bell Shield' and 'Indestructible Diamond Skill' would be the best choice." Xuan Bei explained patiently, without any strictness of a master, "Among these two ultimate skills, naturally, the 'Indestructible Diamond Skill' which can attain the 'Unmoving Bright King's Dharma Body' is superior. However, your heart is unsettled and you are easily distracted, with no grasp of Buddhist teachings. If you rashly cultivate the 'Indestructible Diamond Skill' and tread the path of the 'Bright King', it would be easy to fall into unquenchable anger and sink into the sea of suffering."

  "So you should first cultivate the 'Golden Bell Cover', grinding away the restless and flighty nature of your temperament. If there is success, then it will not be late to switch to cultivating the 'Indestructible Diamond Skill'."

  Meng Qi saw Xuan Bei was completely thinking of himself, put down some guard, and curiously asked: "Master, why won't it be late?"

  Brother Zhi is afraid that if he goes to the outdoor scene, he will have the opportunity to switch to practicing divine skills, but his foundation is unstable and it's difficult to make progress, so he has changed his main practice method now.

  Xuan Bei smiled again and shook his head: "You seem to have no intention of studying Buddhism. The unmoving Vajra, also known as the Unmoving King, is the sublimation of the 'Vajra Dharma Body' cultivated by the 'Golden Bell Cover'. It's a direct inheritance and won't be delayed."

  Meng Qi suddenly enlightened, slightly excitedly said: "Master, when can I practice 'Golden Bell Shield'?"

  I don't know when the next reincarnation task is, the sooner I cultivate the better, my Lingzhi Qiwan is unbearable!

  "These two ultimate skills, I have already helped you copy them. Starting tomorrow, you can begin to cultivate." Xuan Bei pointed at the two thick stacks of paper on the desk, "However, before 'opening your mind', you can only see the contents of the first four stages of 'Golden Bell Shield'."

  In the vast majority of sects, the inheritance of divine arts and ultimate techniques is extremely cautious. Only when one has reached a certain realm can they be taught the content of the next realm, in order to prevent disciples from betraying or falling.

  Meng Qi nodded heavily: "Disciple obeys."

  After figuring out his own affairs, Meng Qi became concerned about Xiao Shidi: "Master, what kind of Dharma body can 'Pinhua Zhi' prove?"

  When it came to rumors and legends of the Jianghu, as well as stories about martial arts, Zhen Hui had always been extremely interested. Now that her senior brother's matter had been resolved, she looked at her master Xuan Bei with eager eyes, waiting for his response.

  The profound sorrow and melancholy had reached the bone, but at this moment, he burst out laughing wildly, as if looking at a child who was playing happily on his knees, saying: " 'Picking Flowers' is the first of Shaolin's 72 ultimate skills, directly derived from the third move of 'Tathagata Divine Palm', and with it, Bodhidharma proved to have obtained the 'Maharhat' fruit position of 'Kayaparamita'."

  "It's extremely demanding, the practitioner must be single-minded and cannot divide their attention to other skills. Even so, it's still very difficult to master. Therefore, since ancient times, few monks have chosen this path. But I think your innate nature is quite suitable for it. Learning other techniques would not be as good. What do you think, Zhen Hui? If you object, I won't force you."

  Meng Qi hadn't even had a chance to speak, when Zhen Hui's eyes lit up and she said: "I'm willing, Disciple! Master Xuan Xin said that 'Maharoha' and 'Mahabodhisattva' are the same, both being the Dharma Body just below the Buddha's position."

  This guy has always been like this! Meng Qi looked helplessly at the beam of the house.

  Xuan Bei smiled wryly and shook his head: "Then you'll have to prepare for several decades of being the same every day."

  As for this point, Zhen Hui is more at ease.

  Both of them had confirmed their main cultivation methods, Meng Qi put down his heart and curiously said: "Master, many of the 72 ultimate skills were created by Bodhidharma, so how could he cultivate the 'Picking Flowers Finger' that requires unity of mind and intention."

  "This is partly what Damo Zushi observed when he saw the 'Tathagata Palm', and had not yet cultivated it. It wasn't until after he obtained the 'Kayaya Dharmakaya' that he went back to elaborate on it, some of which was created after his Dharmakaya, and some of which were already practiced before he got the 'Tathagata Palm'." Xuan Bei had a very master-like demeanor when explaining things to his disciples.

  "So that's how it is." Meng Qi knew that he and Zhen Hui were actually the same, both loving to listen to Jianghu legends and various secrets. "No, didn't Bodhidharma also cultivate 'Yi Jin Jing'?"

  Xuan Bei didn't have a hint of impatience: "'Yi Jin Jing' is an extraordinary skill that can transform the rotten into the magical. When combined with most other skills, it can enhance their quality and ultimately exceed their original limitations. Moreover, it can double the speed of cultivation of that skill. However, cultivating 'Yi Jin Jing' alone cannot achieve any golden body or palm lightness skill. Its characteristics dictate that it can be cultivated together with 'Nian Hua Zhi'."

  No wonder... Meng Qi's "no wonder" refers to the fact that among the many "Yi Jin Jing" in the "Exchange Spectrum", there isn't a martial art like other Shaolin ultimate skills that can be sublimated into one's own world, it turns out that they are fundamentally different.

  At this time, Zhen Hui, who had not yet reached the age of changing his voice, asked with a hint of childishness: "Master, can 'Pinhua Finger' eventually become 'Tathagata Palm'?"

  Meng Qi lowered his head and looked at the ground, it's too embarrassing to stand with this guy!

  Xuan Bei's expression was calm and unruffled, a faint smile on his face as he said, "Any Buddhist ultimate skill can be elevated to the 'Tathagata Divine Palm' as long as one has grasped the true meaning of Bodhi."

  "Master, previously when Master Xuanshen was talking about Jianghu anecdotes, he mentioned the 'Great Compassion and Great Mercy Guanyin Bodhisattva Golden Body' of Shuiguetan. He said it belongs to the 'Mahabodhi Dharma Body', second only to the Tathagata Golden Body and the Bodhi Golden Body. I've been thinking, what does Shaolin have that can compare? Today, I finally solved the puzzle in my mind. I wonder if there are any other ultimate skills in the temple that directly point to the realm of Dharma Body?"

  Meng Qi shifted the topic, preparing to probe for information and make preparations for future exchange - Xuan Bei's explanation would definitely be more detailed than the introduction of the Six Paths Reincarnation Master.

  Xuan Bei sank into thought for a moment before saying, "If we're talking about the Dharma body, I'd recommend the third move of the 'Tathagata Divine Palm', 'Picking Flowers and Smiling'. Unfortunately, the nine divine palms are not complete, the overall framework is scattered, and it's impossible to attain the 'Tathagata Golden Body' through this. The 'Mokou Fumo Fist' that I've cultivated focuses on the cycle of life and death, directly pointing to the 'Ksitigarbha Golden Body', which also belongs to the 'Great Bodhisattva' fruit position. Unfortunately, it lacks the assistance of the 'Ksitigarbha Sutra for Ferrying Souls', so it can only reach the half-step Dharma body realm."

  "Earth Store Bodhisattva Sutra"? Meng Qi vaguely remembered seeing it on the exchange list, the one that wasn't missing!

  Xuan Bei continued: "The 'Mahayana Sutra' is the same, lacking the latter part, only able to attain the 'Sleeping Arhat Golden Body', if supplemented, I suspect it is one of the highest Dharma doors in my Buddha's gate, the 'Dream Realization Great Dharma', which can attain the 'Amitabha Golden Body'."

  "Among the 72 ultimate techniques, only 18 can directly point to the realm of Dharma body, known as 'Inner Eighteen'. The remaining 54 are either forms or skills, or lower levels, and the latter can all be sublimated into the corresponding one in the 'Inner Eighteen'... The Inner Eighteen include 'Plucking Flower Finger', 'Vajra Unbreakable Divine Skill', 'Golden Bell Cover', 'Infinite Void Finger', 'Dry Wood Divine Skill'..."

  Having listened with relish to Shifu's introduction of the "Nei Shi Ba" ultimate skill, Meng Qi thought of himself and asked casually: "Shifu, is 'Anan Breaking Precept Knife Method' purely a knife move?"

  "Yes." Xuan Bei looked at Meng Qi with a puzzled expression, "Why ask about this?"

  "Meng Qi had already thought of a reason, and smiled as he said: 'Master, I've always been fond of knife techniques. In the past, I even learned a few sets. Later, when I heard Master Xuan Xin mention this unique skill, I couldn't help but feel curious and asked.'"

  In the future, he couldn't help but practice his knife skills less and less, and it was impossible to deceive Master who was close to the peak of Wudangquan, so he might as well "hand over" now.

  But when it comes to swordsmanship, which I have always been fond of, it's really heartbreaking!

  He himself has gone further and further astray!

  Xuan Bei nodded slightly: "The knife intent of 'Anan Breaking Precept Knife Method' conflicts with the Buddhist Dharma, and for the monks in this temple, it is quite difficult to practice. The higher one's cultivation, the more so. Therefore, since ancient times, only a handful of people have truly mastered this knife method. Most of the time, it is only used as a temporary expedient during the opening period. If you are interested, after the opening period, when you can freely enter and exit the third and fourth floors of the Scripture Pavilion, you can borrow it yourself."

  "Normally practicing swordsmanship, if there's any doubt, come ask me as your teacher. Although I'm not skilled in this, but in the matter of martial arts, one principle understood, a hundred principles become clear."

  Shaolin Precepts, before opening up, only one absolute skill is allowed to be practiced, and after opening up, most monks choose not many absolute skills because they need to focus on the main practice of Gongfa. Throughout history, except for a few high-ranking Dharma masters who have reached the realm of "one principle, hundred principles", the monk with the most absolute skills is the Hundred Skillful Divine Monk, who has practiced 37 doors, but precisely because he learned too many things, he ultimately failed to attain Buddhahood.

  Meng Qi sincerely thanked his master and then pretended to be curious, saying: "Master, was the real Guan caught later? Where does that secret passage lead?"

  What are the similarities and differences between the two worlds' secret paths?

  "He was one step slower, and he had already been taken down the cliff by his hidden accomplices. If you encounter him in the future, be careful, as his body may have undergone a demonic transformation." Xuan Bei did not hide the truth. "The secret passage leads to the bottom of the tower that suppresses demons, several demons have escaped, fortunately we discovered it early."

  "Who would have thought that they could secretly dig a secret passage under the nose of the guardian monk." Meng Qi deliberately guided the direction of the conversation.

  Xuan Bei shook his head: "It's not like that, they just took advantage of a relic secret passage."

  "Ruins of the Secret Path?" Meng Qi's heart suddenly beats faster.

  "With Xuan Bei's strength, he could feel the change in his heartbeat. He said solemnly: 'This is not a place for you to have a chance encounter. If you don't have the strength of an outsider, don't come near. Alright, this concerns secrets, so don't ask too much. You'll know when you're qualified.'"

  "Meng Qi suppressed his urge to ask further questions: 'Master, are there any other instructions?'"

  Xuan Bei nodded: "You return to Wu Seng Yuan to pack up, move here, Zhending, tomorrow Master will take you to a special place for cultivation. You have the foundation of Tie Bu Shan, and with the help of this place, you can quickly practice Jin Zhong Zhao's first three passes."

  Huh? What's so special about this place? Meng Qi was extremely curious, but Xuan Bei just smiled and didn't say a word, leaving him no choice but to take Zhen Hui back to the Wu Seng Yuan with a sullen face.
