Chapter 132 Simulation: The Three Teachings Are All One Family
However, with the Taixu Illusory Realm under Sun's control, their Minglun Martial Arts School would possess the greatest initiative!
Chan Yinsha felt a bit excited.
Although she was not keen on power herself, the others at Minglun Martial Arts School, including Li Hansha, Tang Zichen, Wang Chao, and Sun Shisheng, were indifferent to power as well.
But they could not be without it.
Otherwise, there would be great trouble later on.
Though one could dominate all with sheer power, what needed to be subdued was the human heart, not to place oneself above the law or morality.
Chan Yinsha understood that her own Sun was exactly such a person.
A person's strength could transcend societal rules, but they should not act on every impulse, for that would be the path of demons, a divergence from the right way.
Those who are virtuous and truthful, their purpose in cultivation is certainly not for enjoyment.
As cultivation improves, power and wealth may automatically follow, but they are just frills, the most trivial part, not to fall into their trap.
With this thought, Chan Yinsha's excitement calmed down.
"It seems your heart has become peaceful, you will have your way in forgetful sitting," Sun Shi rejoiced at Chan Yinsha's change of heart.
"Many thanks to Sun,"
Chan Yinsha smiled serenely, "If not for the fortune that struck my soul, allowing me to concede to Wang Chao willingly, I might not have broken through to the dark energy level even now, but would still be collecting franchise fees with a group of students."
Perhaps, this is karma.
For some reason, this thought suddenly surfaced in Chan Yinsha's mind...
...
In the time that followed, apart from teaching students and managing the martial arts school, and imparting the essence of boxing to two disciples, Chan Yinsha spent the rest of her time experiencing all the various games in the Taixu Illusory Realm, growing rapidly in spirit and body.
Upon learning of this, Tang Zichen also took the initiative to join and spar with Chan Yinsha, though losing more than winning.
Not just because Chan Yinsha entered first, but also because she had truly understood her own path, using a single force to suppress all, her strength became purer and ever-changing, catching Tang Zichen off guard.
However, Tang Zichen was no average adversary.
She began to seek out her weaknesses. After eliminating unnecessary moves, her spirit became even purer, manifesting a vast and righteous river within her soul.
Indeed, a body filled with righteousness.
Tsk!
A mob boss, filled with righteousness!?
Who would believe it?
Certainly not Chan Yinsha, but this time, the two achieved a draw.
"Incredible, how did you cultivate this vast and righteous river?" Chan Yinsha asked curiously, "Born into the underworld, exposed to all sorts of darkness, how can your soul be so pure?"
Tang Zichen smiled slightly, "It is precisely because I have seen darkness that I can be pure."
Emerging from the mud unsoiled!
Cleansing the ripples without causing a stir!
A vast and righteous river, the qi of righteousness pervades!
Chan Yinsha exclaimed, "Amazing, but I'm not too shabby myself."
Having said that, Chan Yinsha chuckled and formed a fist seal. Her entire figure, as if clad in a robe that was both real and illusory, looked like the Immovable Wisdom King and the Great Strength Bodhisattva combined, with three heads and six arms.
Along the six arms, two dragons encircled, their roaring echoing continuously.
Below her feet lay the eighteen layers of hell, somber and sorrowful, where all manners of martial arts figures resembled hellish Asuras, roaring up at the sky.
"Have you become a Bodhisattva?" Tang Zichen asked.
"You could say that," one of Chan Yinsha's heads answered, "Wang Chao and Li Hansha are the Three Pure Ones, representing Taoism; you have created the vast and righteous river, embodying Confucianism."
"Naturally, I cannot be behind you, and I must also build my own path."
"My name is Chan Yinsha; naturally, I should follow the Buddhist way of Chan."
In fact, all three of them were proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, each with their own paths.
Chan Yinsha initially learned Muay Thai, and being influenced by Buddhism there, she had a deeper natural understanding of it, but she transformed Buddhism into her version of "Siddhartha."
When the Enlightened One came to the world, he once pointed one hand to the sky and one to the earth, declaring, "Above the heavens and below the earth, I alone am honored."
To be the honorable one, one needs great strength!
Chan Yinsha then used the extreme of strength to evolve her holy fetus, transforming into the Great Strength King Bodhisattva!
Strength and Buddha united, turning into the Chan of the silver robe.
She is both the Wisdom King and the Bodhisattva.
Moreover, her feet stepping on the eighteen layers of hell is also imitating the grand vow of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "Not until the hells are empty, shall I become a Buddha."
Only, what she subdued were the myriad martial arts of the world!
Tang Zichen smiled calmly, "Indeed, our names each have their significance.
Wang Chao is the Primordial Heavenly King, without beginning or end, transcending everything, hence he possesses the aura of the primordial; Li Hansha is Laozi, subtly implying, creating Alchemy, and also among Taoist founders, the surname Li; I am Tang Zichen, with the purple qi coming from the east, entering the dust of the world, blending with Confucianism; and you, Chan Yinsha, the word 'Chan' is the most profound."
Sun Shi had long seen through all of this.
Was it Sun Shi who made them who they are, or were it their names that defined them now?
Tang Zichen was not aware of this, but she understood that such a name was not something everyone could bear.
Not to speak of the fateful aura that existed in the unknown.
Just take an exaggerated name, once you enter society, it will always make many people talk about it incessantly.
If one's personality is good, one might be able to make waves, but if one's personality is timid, then every step is a struggle, having to bear not only other people's idle chatter but also the constant torment within.
It was evident that Wang Chao, Li Hansha, Chan Yinsha, and herself, Tang Zichen, were all of a cheerful disposition, even Li Hansha's nearly ruthless mentality couldn't mask the clarity and smoothness in his heart.
The two retracted their sacred embryonic forms and returned to reality, conversing in the Quiet Courtyard, speaking of the last of the Three Purities.
"Sun mentioned that Wang Chao and Li Hansha's brother is named Su Jie," Chan Yinsha enunciated, "Jie, as in cutting, from the Cutting Sect, Sect Hierarch of the Heavens."
"Although the orthodox Taoism of today completely denies that the Sect Hierarch of the Heavens and Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable are one and the same, the masses cannot tell the difference." Themostup‑to‑dateversionisonM4VLEMP4YR.
"And Sun once said, 'The Grand Supreme indulges in the red dust of the world, the Primordial resides in between, Spiritual Treasure returns to the red dust.'
Following this deeply mysterious deduction, there seems indeed to be certain connections between Spiritual Treasure and the Sect Hierarch of the Heavens, Spiritual Treasure as Su Jie, complementing each other quite well."
Tang Zichen couldn't help but laugh, "One shouldn't overthink these things, it's better to just let them be natural, otherwise, just based on the phrase 'The Grand Supreme indulges in the red dust of the world, the Primordial resides in between, Spiritual Treasure returns to the red dust,' it gives one the feeling as though the Grand Supreme and Spiritual Treasure don't get along, and the Primordial is a peacemaker."
Whoa (⊙o⊙)...
Chan Yinsha blinked, "Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed that's what it seemed to be."
Could that actually be the truth?
Ssst—
Indeed, one shouldn't dwell on these things too much, otherwise, one might start to see these once-great figures as petty as ordinary people.
But, it's not entirely impossible.
After all, mythology is always something imagined by people, and assigning them human qualities is not impossible.
The difference in the levels of life merely means that one has a different perspective of looking at issues.
How could one avoid the seven human emotions and six sensory pleasures, the happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy?
It's just that the higher one's spiritual cultivation, the more objective the viewpoint, less likely to be affected by the physical body.
After a casual chat, Chan Yinsha bid farewell to Tang Zichen, as she had other matters to attend to.
Tang Zichen also had students to instruct.
And Sun Shisheng found Li Hansha and told him about the grassroots development plan, asking him to set up an industrial system for scientific alchemy, creating various high-tech instruments, and so on.
Even with Li Hansha's current state of Primordial Respiration, he couldn't help but roll his Byakugan: "Do you think I'm really the Grand Supreme? Even if I were, I haven't regained my cultivation right now."
"The capable should endure more labor," Sun Shisheng said with a chuckle, "and besides, I just need to plan for a while in the Taixu Illusory Realm every day, and I can help you with the rest of the time."
"Fine, fine. Who told me that you tossed me head over heels," said Li Hansha resignedly. However, as he became familiar with modern industrialization, medicine, and artificial intelligence, he also had a realization.
That is, alchemy and cultivation were indeed complementary.
If he could merge the essence of the sun and the radiance of the moon, perhaps he could achieve Primordial Respiration.
"What about GOD?" Sun Shisheng inquired.
"After I joined the martial arts hall, didn't you let me see your sacred embryo? I passed on my own vision to him, but he then visualized something else... Why do you ask?" Li Hansha initially talked about GOD's situation, then asked, "He's currently meditating."
"He's an outsider who can provide us with a massive amount of scientific research equipment. I want to set up a technology company for him," Sun Shisheng revealed his purpose.
"GOD belongs to no country; indeed, he is an outsider," nodded Li Hansha, "Giving him a homeland to settle in is also the beginning of legacy."
And so, GOD was coerced into becoming the president of Minglun Technology Co., Ltd.
GOD: "..." Did anybody care to ask how I feel about this?
The news of the Minglun martial arts hall establishing another company caused quite an uproar in the outside world.
Nowadays, every single action taken by Minglun, no matter how big or small, would captivate everyone's attention.
The previous launches of the Martial Supreme and Elite Ground games by Minglun Game Company had already made many players exclaim that the era of gaming had changed, that these were the real games.
MMORPGs with monster hunting and gear drops?
They were only fit for grinding, that's all.
And now, with the emergence of Minglun Technology Co., Ltd., the world eagerly anticipated what kind of revolutionary products would appear.
Minglun did not make people wait too long.
In just one month, they announced that a groundbreaking product would be launched.
"A groundbreaking product?"
"What is it?"
"Could it be a life force measuring device?"
"What's the use of that? Aren't we all battle worthless?"
"Upstairs, you're thinking too much. According to the announcements of Minglun martial arts hall, our maximum is 0.5, a life force of 5 is said to be very powerful, capable of running a hundred meters in one second!"
"Exactly, Dragon Ball is just a comic, what do you understand by power levels, it's all collapsed into what now!"
"Strive to be battle worthless!"
Internet forums, from being sensible at first, soon diverged into another topic, as usual.
Until the day when all the major online platforms simultaneously streamed Minglun Technology's product launch—
