CHAPTER 121: CHAPTER 121: THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL CHEATING (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE~!~)

Lu Ren opened his eyes and looked at the old monk Subodhi, pondering in his heart: "This is a Taoist term, aren’t you a monk from the Buddhist Zen Sect?"

Listening doesn’t hurt, but one must understand the language traps set by the other party, ignore them and not take the bait.

Subodhi smiled slightly: "To me, Buddha is Tao, what difference is there between the two."

After a pause, he continued: "In the Inner Realm, Tao speaks of reaching extreme emptiness and maintaining true tranquility, while the Zen Sect calls it a state of meditation. However, whether it is the Taoist Sect or the Buddhist Sect, they speak of the same place, deep in the mind, the Yellow Court Inner Realm, within the state of meditation, where you can accomplish many incredible things unseen, unheard, and unknown to ordinary people. This is a place for enlightenment, also a rest stop on the road ahead."

"A place for enlightenment, the light of meditation, this is the place of the Yellow Court Inner Realm. What is the Yellow Court? It is the Middle Dantian in a person, the place where the spirit resides. Time here is completely different from the outside world; perhaps a thousand years have passed, but only a moment has passed in reality."

Lu Ren glanced at Subodhi, who was kind-faced, and said bluntly, "You brought me to this place?"

Subodhi looked all smiles, as if not expecting such an incredible opportunity. Isn’t this a place unimaginable to the vast majority of people? Pray, be grateful, how could you...

"How do I get out?"

The smile on Subodhi’s face was somewhat stiff, repeating, "It seems you have not understood the significance of the Yellow Court Inner Realm. This is about cultivating your spirit to an extremely deep realm, gaining access in an enlightened state, which is a dream realm for all who practice spiritual meditation."

Lu Ren was a bit impatient: "Isn’t this my meditation..."

After saying this, he was stunned for a moment. This is his territory, so why discuss it with Subodhi!

A slight movement in his mind, and with the change of his thoughts, the entire scene before him suddenly transformed, from the former landscape to the deep space of the cosmos, right above Earth’s orbit among the stars.

"This is..."

Subodhi’s expression was somewhat shocked, but from Lu Ren’s observation, the shock was not that of a country bumpkin unfamiliar with the cosmic starry sky, but rather shocked that Lu Ren could achieve this, able to manifest the cosmos and stars from imagination.

This was absolutely unimaginable.

And in observing Subodhi’s expression, Lu Ren speculated a lot. Perhaps in ancient times, besides the Martial Path, there was indeed a path focused on spiritual cultivation.

Perhaps, under the poor material conditions of ancient times, some sages would use their bodies as seeds, nurturing their spirits to achieve another form of transcendence.

The so-called journeying from the Northern Sea to Mu Cangwu was not fake, but was achieved by the ancients through another way.

Subodhi’s eyes slightly narrowed: "Do you know what meditation means? It should be hazy, confused, without light, without time, without dust. This method is a lower approach."

In a word, the true way of meditation is clarity, selflessness, in void, thereby led by the acupoints within the body to reach the Yellow Court Inner Realm.

Unfortunately, Lu Ren ignored it, paid no mind.

When he reaches the Great Perfection of Fist Technique, when spirit and body reach the human body’s carrying limit, then he will naturally realize these.

Subsequently, countless Spirit Light Chains emerged, binding Subodhi firmly, preventing escape.

Subodhi did not resist, or rather, upon entering Lu Ren’s spiritual mind, unable to breach his mental defenses from that moment on, unless Lu Ren voluntarily lowered his guard, otherwise in the ebb and flow, he would be exhausted by Lu Ren.

Subodhi was neither surprised at being imprisoned, and even praised: "You found the initial application of the Inner Realm in such a short time, truly remarkable."

After a pause, he looked up at the chains enveloping him and asked, "What is the meaning of the patterns on this chain?"

No special meaning, just that his overly imaginative soul influenced by novels and anime added some exotic patterns to make it look both fierce and seemingly imbued with mysterious power, bringing a touch of extravagance, for some amusement.

Suddenly, the starry sky scene disappeared abruptly, and the entire meditation inner realm, besides the chained Subodhi, returned once more to a vague and void state.

Lu Ren said calmly: "Looks like you’ll have to spend quite a bit of time here."

Glancing at the on-screen notifications, he added: "Should you continue attempting to attack or seize my body, I would be very pleased."

The system directly blocked Subodhi’s method of possession, leaving Lu Ren with no concerns.

As for continuing to bicker with Subodhi, honestly, this is precisely his forte. Once you get drawn into his game and can’t turn around, it can be quite dangerous.

Upon seeing this, Subodhi shouted: "Friend, don’t you want to know where your anomaly comes from?"

Lu Ren sneered inwardly, unhesitatingly giving Subodhi the middle finger, turning a deaf ear.

Joking aside, if the system was that easily detected by Subodhi, he would quit without further ado, letting Subodhi take over his body.

Perhaps the ancients, who had never experienced such deceit, would be shockingly fooled, but Lu Ren, steeped in the modern information explosion, imbued with countless novels and anime, would not be easily stirred to reveal any flaw.

As for Subodhi’s voice, Lu Ren waved his hand, attempting to move the cage ten meters away, and the voice ceased to continue.

Seeing that the cage showed signs of disintegration beyond ten meters, Lu Ren stopped moving it.

It seems his use of so-called mental power has a range limited to ten meters.

The Yellow Court Inner Realm, or the world that the Buddhist Sect calls the state of meditation, Lu Ren had previously thought was just a state, a realm enhancing spiritual growth and purifying the mind.

But it seems there are many secrets within, potentially linked to many occurrences in ancient times related to these states.

In the study and application of spirit and mind, the ancients delved far deeper compared to modern academia, much like a fully armed warrior compared to a three-year-old just gaining awareness.

Mulling over things here is not a solution.

With a slight thought movement, Lu Ren quickly exited the meditation under Subodhi’s sullen gaze.

His Spiritual Proficiency began to fill the screen continuously...

Here we are opening Wind Spirit Moon Shadow...

This is truly like a superpower, isn’t it!

Subodhi won’t expect to come out in this lifetime.

At this moment, Lu Ren, just having been kneeling on one knee, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ksitigarbha, who stepped forward to face him.

Ksitigarbha was startled as Lu Ren opened his eyes, his bones crackling as he jumped back a considerable distance.

Lu Ren frowned: "What are you doing?"

Ksitigarbha was uneasy: "Are you Subodhi or Lu Ren?"

"It’s me." Lu Ren replied impatiently.

Ksitigarbha breathed a sigh of relief, nodding slightly, then expressed shock: "You actually annihilated Subodhi’s spirit?"
