Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog

Chapter 799 517: Gold Star Taibai

"There!"

Chen Ku saw that within this Buddha Emperor's Heaven and Earth there were at least five pocket worlds, and immediately stepped out, Teleportation carrying his body over.

Wuu-la~~

He didn't even need to make a move; just the Divine Power of the Twenty-four Celestial Reincarnation carried by his Tyrant Body, before it even reached that stretch of void, had already caused that portion of the void to twist, as if unable to bear its weight, Shape-Shifted and collapsed inward, revealing a tiny crack.

At once, something backflowed down from within that crack—it was a golden liquid, looking extremely resplendent.

"That is... Eight Treasures Water Gold!"

Yang Pan followed right behind Chen Ku and cried out in shock.

And just before Yang Pan opened his mouth, Chen Ku's Transformation Diagram reacted.

[By the Diagram Master's side there is something that meets the cultivation condition of the Thirty-Fifth Transformation Map: one hundred catties of Eight Treasures Water Gold]

"Eight Treasures Water Gold?"

Chen Ku glanced sidelong at Yang Pan and said:

"What is the origin of this item?"

Anything that the Transformation Diagram listed as a cultivation condition had always been an extremely precious metal; this Eight Treasures Water Gold was likely no ordinary thing either.

"Water Gold is like mercury, a flowing gold; and this Eight Treasures Water Gold has added into it the Eight Treasures of Buddhism. It is an important resource for cultivating the 'Buddha Golden Body' within a Buddha Country."

As Yang Pan explained to Chen Ku, he watched that Eight Treasures Water Gold flowing down and muttered to himself:

"This is the Buddha Emperor's Heaven and Earth, and it has Eight Treasures Water Gold stored away. That means within that pocket world, there's likely a Buddha Golden Body."

Hearing this, Chen Ku immediately grew cautious: "A Buddha Golden Body? Is it powerful?"

"In any case, we should be more careful. After all, we just suffered losses in that Dragon Han Divine Mansion." Yang Pan offered this suggestion.

Chen Ku nodded. A thought flashed through his mind; he blew a puff of air into his palm, and in secret performed a Demon Transformation—this was a Golden Cicada, at the level of a Thirteenth Realm Great Demon, one of the Great Demons from Tuoba Man's Hundred Beasts Banner, which Chen Ku had refined into an Incarnation. Sending it over to scout was just right.

Buzz buzz~~

The Golden Cicada vibrated its twin wings, as if merging into the void, its figure vanishing entirely. This was precisely one of the Innate Divine Ability of that Golden Cicada: it could share form with Heaven and Earth. At the same time, it also possessed a Divine Skills called 'Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell', used to leave behind a molted corpse at a critical moment, allowing the true body to escape.

"It's actually an eight-winged Golden Cicada from the Ancient Times. Has Brother Chen taken it as a Spirit Pet? Thirteenth Realm cultivation—it's truly terrifying." Yang Pan did not know this was Chen Ku's Transformation and took it for his pet, exclaiming in admiration.

They watched as the Golden Cicada passed through the golden water-curtain flowing out of the crack in the void, disappeared for 15 minutes, and then returned again.

Chen Ku opened his palm to retrieve the Golden Cicada, then flipped through its memories and said, "It seems to be a dead thing, with no apparent danger."

The Incarnation was himself; a Thirteenth Realm Cave Heaven prototype, a half-step Fourteen Realms Demon. If it sensed no danger, it would be the same for his main body entering. So he said:

"Let's go in and take a look."

With one step forward, he passed through the water curtain, and upon being submerged in that Eight Treasures Water Gold, Chen Ku couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"This—is such a light metal?"

Bathed beneath the golden water-curtain, he felt that this liquid known as Eight Treasures Water Gold seemed to have no weight at all.

"Eight Treasures Water Gold is just like that. The Eight Treasures of Buddhism are said to be 'all four elements are empty', so once Eight Treasures Water Gold is refined, it possesses the nature of the void. Even if it were a mountain in size, it would be like a feather." Yang Pan explained.

Chen Ku thought of how the Transformation Diagram actually required a hundred catties of such stuff, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Hua-la~~

After entering this pocket world, what appeared before Chen Ku and Yang Pan was a boundlessly tall Buddha, looking exactly the same as the Buddha that had blocked Chen Ku from suppressing the Red Sun Buddha.

But at this moment, the Buddha's eyes were gently closed, as if it had lost its divine radiance.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Buddha should be some sort of manifestation of that Buddha Emperor." Chen Ku said.

"This is one of the Heavenly Buddha Five Forms of the Buddha Emperor, one of the five Dharma Images he cultivated."

Yang Pan cried out:

"There's one here, so doesn't that mean the other four pocket worlds each have one as well? This... the Heavenly Buddha Five Forms are actually all here. Then... could it be that the Buddha Emperor fell in this Martial Arts Ancestral Land three thousand years ago?"

"The Heavenly Buddha Five Forms, are they Incarnations?" Chen Ku asked.

Hearing this, Yang Pan immediately explained: "The Five Forms are not just five Incarnations; they also represent different paths of cultivation and tempering. They are the five major Magic Skills used by the Buddha Emperor in cultivating a technique called the 'Sumeru Hidden Consciousness All Things Technique' to temper his body; his Spiritual Sense was divided into five, each part undergoing its own training. Later he would unify them in one stroke, achieving the supreme Buddha realm. These five forms are respectively: Joyful Giving Thought to counter greed, Forbearance Contemplation to counter anger, Dependent Origination Dharma to counter ignorance, Introspective Reflection to counter arrogance, and Perfect Faith and Vow to counter doubt—five Magic Skills. Right now in the Da Yang dynasty, the Buddhist Orthodox still cultivates this Buddha Method. It's the Great Wheel Ming King, the current State Preceptor after the Red Sun Buddha."

"The cultivation method is that at the Buddha's Tenth Realm, one splits into five thoughts, each living out a different life. After a long period of time, they successively reach the Fourteen Realms. Finally, the main body absorbs the five Fourteen Realms' five great Magic Skills and five different life comprehensions, and in one leap ascends to the Buddha realm. The most marvelous part is that after the main body advances, these five great Dharma Images are not devoured by the main body but continue to exist. Yet as things stand... these five Dharma Images seem to have lost their will because the main body is gone."

After Yang Pan finished speaking, Chen Ku's eyes lit up with joy as he said, "That would mean, in this Buddha Emperor's Heaven and Earth, if the other pocket worlds each have a Heavenly Buddha Five Forms, then within this Buddha Emperor's Heaven and Earth there are five corpses of Fourteen Realms Buddhist Great Ability?"
