How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 174: The New Function of the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: The New Function of the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye

Professor Yin gave his final instruction: "Everyone, maintain even breathing while crossing the bridge. Don’t gasp all at once and faint. At the same time, keep a close eye on the person in front of you and don’t lose them. Do not look around aimlessly and try to get through as quickly as possible."

Go!

Hu Fu led the way, followed by the professor, then two graduate students, then the little monk, and then Li Sisi.

Lin Xiaosu and Dawa walked side by side at the end.

As they stepped onto the mountain ridge, a gust of wind blew, and the fog in front of them suddenly thickened tenfold!

Lin Xiaosu was startled; this was not normal!

From the outside, although there was fog in this area, it was not so dense. There was no reason for the fog to intensify on its own once they entered.

Could this be the "Array" that the professor mentioned?

His Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye opened.

As soon as the eye opened, a marvel appeared.

He clearly saw a faint golden glow in the air.

This circle covered the sky and also the ground behind them, which was the stream of air formed by the intense heat of the volcano mingling with the extreme cold of the ice pool.

Array Patterns!

These are the Array Patterns recorded in the Taoist Book.

The Taoist Book states: Arrays are invisible, and their patterns cannot be seen.

However, his Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye could indeed see the interwoven Array Patterns. Did the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye overturn the Taoist Book?

"Brother Su, I can only see about three to four meters ahead of me; I can’t find what you’re looking for," Dawa’s voice came from beside him.

Very light.

This was their agreement from last night.

They came together to find the jietai fruit, but upon entering this mountain ridge, Dawa realized her thoughts were misguided. She could only see things within a three to four-meter radius and couldn’t see any further. How could she find the jietai fruit?

"This matter itself is all about fate. One must simply try their best." Lin Xiaosu said.

"May Eternal Heaven bless, bless Brother Su to light that night lamp amidst the vast night sky..." Dawa pressed her palms together in front of her chest, gently pressing.

This sincere act caught Lin Xiaosu’s eye, and he paused for a moment.

The Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye could see the Array Patterns and could see every corner within the fog, but it seemed he couldn’t see through this Tibetan girl in front of him.

Ultimately, they did not find the jietai fruit.

Of course, it might also be that Lin Xiaosu had no intention of looking for it.

Chang Ye was a badass girl; that was a fact.

But, could her poison be cured by the jietai fruit? Did her poison need curing? The poison itself was her foundation. Without it, she would lose her unique character.

The jietai fruit was merely a prop in the story, not Lin Xiaosu’s goal...

After about ten minutes, they crossed the mountain ridge.

Dawa felt very disappointed.

Because Eternal Heaven did not show a miracle, neither did Brother Su find the jietai fruit, nor did she...

But the rest were excited.

Because a mysterious temple was now in front of them.

This temple, perched on the cliffs opposite, was in ruins, with most of it collapsed. Only a few dozen massive pillars pointed angrily at the sky, telling an unknown history that began who knows when on this cliffside.

"Professor, this temple... does it have some sort of significance?"

Lin Xiaosu had his first conversation with the professor.

And the professor answered him seriously, just as he would with his student’s questions...

This temple, when it appeared in ancient texts, was already in its current state. No one knows where its roots truly lie...

It might be a product of an Ancient Civilization.

"Ancient Civilization?" Lin Xiaosu was a bit surprised.

"Yes, the Earth has existed for 4.6 billion years. Our current civilization at best spans only eight thousand years. If a global nuclear explosion suddenly occurs, resulting in the extinction of civilization, how would later generations regard our civilization? They can’t, because we cannot predict whether the next civilization will be human or another form of life, and our civilization may be completely disconnected from theirs..."

The professor’s lesson was very vivid...

And it made a lot of logical sense...

With the Earth being 4.6 billion years old, we are used to positioning ourselves as the benchmark of civilization, viewing this world’s rise and fall from our own perspective, all while ignoring the immense span of 4.6 billion years.

Just like what the professor said, if a global nuclear explosion were to occur today, killing all life, this current civilization would obviously come to an end.

But would the Earth come to an end?

No!

Would the traces of this civilization remain?

In just ten years, cities would barely exist.

In a hundred years, apart from some exceptionally solid structures, most everything else would be gone.

What about in a thousand years?

Ten thousand years?

What would remain?

Over the long course of time, life could evolve, and it’s possible they would not be human. Could they find any traces of this civilization left in the historical ruins?

Not necessarily!

Yes, humans can leave stone inscriptions, recording this period of civilization in human language.

But who understands this language?

The people of the next civilization will define civilization from their own perspective, believing the starting point of their civilization marks the origin of all civilization on Earth.

So what about the previous generation?

Who can assert that before our current generation of humans, there was no splendid and brilliant civilization that ever existed on Earth? If we consider ten thousand years as the beginning and end of a civilization, in 4.6 billion years, how many ten thousand years are there? Four hundred and sixty thousand!

We can’t see their existence because of the civilization gap. Perhaps they also left behind a large number of stone carvings, but we do not recognize their symbols, and can’t deeply understand their civilization...

This class was taught before entering the temple.

This class was also a bit overwhelming.

To the extent that Lin Xiaosu, standing under the ruins of this Ancient Temple, always felt as if innumerable eyes were watching him through the Time-Space River.

His gaze also lifted, staring at the other side of the cliff.

On the other side of the cliff was nothingness.

However, Lin Xiaosu seemed to see something that interested him...

Yes, he saw Array Patterns...

Countless Array Patterns—inside seemed to be a different realm.

But the professor and his group were looking in a different direction, at a Buddha-shaped stone pillar with a small Bodhi tree on it.

This Bodhi was very small, merely three feet in diameter.

But its trunk was iron-blue, and its branches and leaves were also iron-blue. On the top of the mountain where the wind was strong, the Bodhi tree seemed not to sway much, as if it was cast from iron.

If it weren’t for the occasional fluttering of a few leaves, he really would have thought the tree was cast in iron.

"This is the Bodhi tree," Li Sisi tilted her head back.

"It’s really strange, how can such a tree grow so big on this bald rock?" A graduate student said.

Hu Fu said, "This is called the radiance of Buddha nature, just like me! Possessing Buddha root, one can grow and thrive even where there is no soil underfoot."

Li Sisi’s brows frowned, seemingly struggling to keep from blowing up...

It was only because this place was a bit mysterious that she held back.

It was the first time in his life that little monk Liao Ran praised Hu Fu: "Amitabha, benefactor, you speak very well."

Hu Fu happily patted little Monk Liao Ran’s head: "See? I’ve received Buddhist recognition, possessing Buddha root is a certainty..."

Little monk Liao Ran shrank his head: "Benefactor, don’t speak like this, this little monk is still young and doesn’t understand Buddha’s teachings..."

"Although you are young, your understanding and profundity in the way of Buddha are immeasurable, you are the most knowledgeable of Buddha’s teachings," Hu Fu was extra lenient toward him at this moment, because being lenient to little Monk Liao Ran was like being lenient to himself...

Li Sisi pouted: "Professor, I fear we came at the wrong time, this Bodhi doesn’t seem to intend to blossom."

With that statement, the whole team fell silent.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the temple and saw the legendary Bodhi.

However, the Bodhi did not bloom.

If the Bodhi did not bloom, the Bodhi Beyond would be meaningless.

Their only mission when entering Miyan Road was the Bodhi Beyond, this mission... failed!

It wasn’t because they didn’t try hard, nor was it because of setbacks, but because the timing of their arrival was wrong.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and dark clouds rolled.

"It’s going to rain!" Hu Fu said.

"Set up the tents!" Professor called out.

Soon, eight tents were pitched, and just as they were set up, a storm came...

They faced an autumn storm amidst the temple ruins.

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze, through the thin tent, looked at the surrounding pillars, which bore some unique patterns, unlike any text he had read in all the documents.

But these patterns clearly carried the characteristics of text, these texts, perhaps, were the origin of this temple.

Regrettably, even with his Human Tao Orchid Heart powerful and boundless, even with his language learning skills high above the skies, without any references or corresponding information, trying to decrypt these texts was but a dreamer’s talk.

He could only record the shapes of these texts—his brain now filled with a load of information.

Barely two hours had passed.

The rain stopped.

With a low rumble, Jing Lei broke through the sky.

Clouds opened and closed.

"Professor, look quickly!" A shout of surprise came from Li Sisi’s side.

Almost simultaneously, everyone emerged from the tents, staring in amazement at the sky...

Above the sky, the dark clouds were dispersing, sunlight piercing through the clouds, and in the void, a giant Buddha image appeared, reaching a hundred zhang, like a mirage of Sea City.

"Amitabha!" Little Monk Liao Ran brought his hands together in prayer, his form solemn, his head so bright.

"Damn! This..." even Hu Fu, who was unrestrained in his speech, after exclaiming, could no longer continue.

Because the Buddha image was too realistic.

It was a bit beyond the scope of being made fun of...

Lin Xiaosu’s mouth opened slightly, also greatly surprised...

Beside him, Dawa pressed a hand to his chest: "May the omnipotent Eternal Heaven bless us on our return journey, to find the jietai fruit, to bless Brother Su and his little Ye in their perilous return!"

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze returned, falling on her face.

Suddenly, Li Sisi screamed sharply, pointing in one direction, her fingertips trembling lightly.

Professor Yin turned his head sharply, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Lin Xiaosu also turned around, staring in surprise at the Buddha-shaped stone pillar, the Bodhi on the stone pillar had bloomed a strange flower, its tendrils gently swaying, just like the Other Shore Flower.

Bodhi Beyond!

Just now, this Bodhi tree had not the slightest intention of blooming, but it was just an autumn rain, a mirage of the ages after which, in the midst of a rainbow, the Bodhi bloomed.

"Bodhi Beyond!" Two graduate students exclaimed, both shocked and delighted.

"The flower blooms on the Other Shore, seeing the Buddha is Bodhi!" Little Monk Liao Ran quietly recited, "Master said..."

Whoosh!

Li Sisi leaped up, climbing to the top of the stone pillar, carefully picked the extraordinary flower, and brought it to Professor Yin.

Professor Yin opened a box, placed the flower inside, and his face showed a smile.
