Expiation Is Not About Forgiveness, but Fighting and Killing

Everyone was shocked for a while before Abbot Hui Xin said, "To be able to cultivate the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture to the perfected realm, the other party must be a senior monk of our Spirit Platform Temple. Perhaps, the other party might even be one of the existences from a thousand years ago!"

"Because without hundreds or thousands of years of bitter cultivation, it's absolutely impossible to cultivate the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture to this extent."

"But almost all the seniors from a thousand years ago have died. Who is this senior?"

Abbot Hui Xin shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's very difficult to find. An expert like him has long severed his ties with the mortal world and doesn't care about the affairs of the world. He naturally won't be willing to come out and meet us."

The head of the Fist Court could not help but sigh.

"Sigh! What a pity. If only I could know who this senior is. It's said that Dharma Master Zhi Shan of the Diamond Monastery will come out of seclusion in a few days and discuss the Buddhist scriptures with the temples."

"If our senior can appear, Spirit Platform Temple will definitely be able to take the top spot!"

Abbot Hui Xin's eyes flickered, but in the end, he only sighed.

"We can't force it! Disperse."

He slowly spoke. The disciples retreated, but the discussion was endless.

From now on, Spirit Platform Temple would no longer be peaceful!

…

In the room, Li Xuanxin smiled.

He succeeded!

The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture at the 108th level of the perfected realm transformed into a huge dragon in his body. It constantly wandered through his meridians. Every time it traveled a Great Heavenly Cycle, it would make his cultivation stronger.

"The level of a cultivation technique determines the cultivation speed. I wonder how fast my cultivation speed is?"

The cultivation of this world was divided into realms through years.

At a thousand years, one was not afraid of the waves in the river.

At two thousand years, flying through the mountains and exploring the seas was as easy as pie.

At three thousand years, one was capable of flying in the sky and escaping under the ground, doing almost anything!

At four thousand years, one could turn stone into gold. One could produce myriad Dharma Idols!

At five thousand years, a thousand miles away, he could kill with a thought.

At six thousand years, one would master the Lesser Mahayana Dragon Elephant. One could be reborn with a drop of blood. The Essence Soul could not be destroyed!

At seven thousand years, one could control reincarnation, reverse Yin and Yang, heal the dead, and reconstruct flesh and bones!

At eight thousand years, one would master the true Mahayana Dragon Elephant, roaming the four seas unhindered. No one could compare!

At nine thousand years, one was an Earth Immortal. All techniques in the mortal world could not harm him!

At ten thousand years, one underwent tribulation. The Dao Sect called it the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Mahayana Immortal Lord, while the Buddhist Sect called it the Great Freedom Arhat Fruit Position!

They were all existences that transcended the mortal world and lived as long as the heavens.

Li Xuanxin had not even started the proper cultivation yet. Everything had just begun.

However, he already had the perfected Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. His future achievements should not be low.

"I wonder if I have any hope of becoming an Arhat in the future?" Li Xuanxin muttered and shook his head.

Why was he thinking so much?

Only by cultivating the heart could one attain the Bodhi Fruit!

It was fine as long as he worked hard. He would leave the rest to the heavens.

Because the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture at the perfected realm had already reached an extraordinary level and could cultivate on its own, Li Xuanxin did not need to continue meditating.

After going out for a walk, he heard many monks talking about the ten thousand foot tall Buddha. Talks of the Dharma idol of the Golden Lotus on the ground shocked Li Xuanxin.

He had actually caused such a huge commotion?

Fortunately, no one discovered that he had done it.

Li Xuanxin did not want his peaceful life to be disturbed. He only wanted to cultivate quietly and slowly increase his strength.

He had to keep a low profile in the future.

The surrounding disciples were still discussing what had happened, but Li Xuanxin was thinking about how to obtain merit next.

He did not need to consider cultivating a cultivation technique. In any case, the Merit Golden Lotus could directly increase the cultivation technique to the perfected realm, so he only needed to think of a way to deal with the merit accumulation.

Without merit, the Merit Golden Lotus could not be used.

Merit was divided into big and small.

He could treat illnesses and save individual lives, help people clear their minds and resolve their doubts, expiate the dead… He could even recite Buddhist scriptures to eliminate the negative karma in the world. He could obtain merit, but it was very little. There were basically only one or two points.

Suppressing demons and devils, saving the people, saving the country and saving the world, were big merits.

However… with his current cultivation base… Well… Forget it, he was not worthy.

"I should find Master first and let him give me more work like expiating souls in the future. I should be able to quickly obtain some merit."

Thinking of this, Li Xuanxin quickly found his master.

He was reading the fortune of a madam.

"Your hands are a little rough. They're not as smooth as last time. You must have worked hard recently."

"Master, you're very observant. Recently, I've been taking on some odd jobs to subsidize my family. I often stay up late. My husband still has to… always have fun, so I'm a little tired and not in good spirits."

"I see that your blood vitality is a little damaged. You have to rest. Women belong to the yin attribute. If you stay up too late, you will suffer from yin and yang deficiency. It will be easier to provoke ghosts and evil beings."

"I have an empowered Safety Talisman here. Wearing it can ward off evil."

"Thank you, Master."

"Don't stand on ceremony, benefactor. That'll be ten copper coins for the Safety Talisman. You can put it in the Merit Box on the right. Next."

Li Xuanxin walked forward.

"Master."

Master Hui Jue glanced at him and picked up the tea beside him to take a sip.

"What is it?"

"I want to go out with my senior brothers."

"Pfft! Cough cough cough…"

Master Hui Jue accidentally choked and said, "No way."

"Why?"

"What do you think expiation is?"

"Expiation is to appease the hatred in the hearts of the dead vengeful spirits and ghosts, letting them put down their grudges and head to the Western Paradise."

"Wrong! Wrong!" Hui Jue shook his head.

"Expiation is not about forgiveness. It's about fighting and killing!"

Those vengeful spirits and ghosts had many injustices when they were alive. They were not well-educated and did not understand the reason. Their personalities were stiff and stubborn.

When they were alive, they were only ordinary people. They could not do evil and could only tolerate it and be good people.

After death, what would happen if they obtained spirit energy?

"Have you heard of a villain's comeback?"

"Without some skills, you still want to send them on their way? You'll become their food."

Li Xuanxin frowned. He did not expect expiation to be so dangerous. He thought that he only needed to recite the scriptures.

However, on careful thought, it made sense. The essence of the Heavenly Dao was the survival of the fittest. It was almost impossible to expect the strong to listen to the weak.

Moreover, even if there was, one in a hundred was already blessed by the Buddha.

What about the remaining 99?

Therefore, he still had to be capable.

"Then how far must I go before I can expiate the dead?"

"Yes! Let's talk about it after you cultivate for a year or two. After cultivating for a year or two, you can already cultivate a Buddhist cultivation technique and use Buddhist talismans and equipment to deal with ordinary vengeful spirits who have just died."

"Alright, I understand."

Li Xuanxin bid farewell to his master and returned to his meditation room to cultivate again.

However, he did not completely listen to his master.

A year or two of cultivation could only deal with ordinary vengeful spirits that had just died. It also needed some cultivation techniques, equipment, talismans, and other external forces.

If he encountered a slightly stronger vengeful spirit, wouldn't he be dead?

In any case, as long as he accumulated enough merit, he could directly raise his cultivation technique to a certain level. He did not need to cultivate his cultivation technique every day like others.

Therefore, there was no need to be in a hurry to achieve great merits.

The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture, which had already been cultivated to the perfected realm, would cultivate on its own at all times.

When his cultivation base reached a certain level, he would do some things like expiation and other great merits.

Perfect plan!

…

Just like that, time passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Beside the waterfall at the back of Spirit Platform Temple, water poured down, splashing up mist.

Beside the pool, the handsome Li Xuanxin ended his day of meditation and slowly opened his eyes.

His gaze was like purple lightning, soul-stirring and alluring.

The white monk robe that was damp from the mist clung to his body, revealing his well-defined muscles.

"The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture at the perfected realm is indeed powerful. In half a year, I broke through to 400 years of cultivation. On average, if I cultivate for a day, I can obtain more than two years of cultivation!"

"Even if I don't have any talismans or Dharma treasures, I should be able to protect myself now, right?"
