SWDnovel Chapter 45 Radiant Brahma Sounds, Yellow Essence Boy
Chapter 45 Radiant Brahma Sounds, Yellow Essence Boy
Back in the Ghost Realm, when Liu Yan gifted him this lotus seed, Jiang Jun wanted to investigate it to see what made this strange object so special.
However, he had established himself as a powerful cultivator who had broken through the Dao, and it would be inappropriate to act hastily, so he had been holding back.
Now that he's back to reality and no longer burdened by his image, he no longer needs to endure it.
Within the spiritual platform, the pure lotus swayed gently, and the five-colored stone shone with radiant light. A divine thought merged with true energy, flew out from the sea of consciousness, and landed on the golden lotus seed.
On the lotus seeds, mysterious runes flowed, shimmering with golden light, exuding a pure and solemn aura.
As divine thoughts and true energy landed on the lotus seed, they instantly stirred up a dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire room.
Fortunately, the true form of "Ghostly Prohibition" sensed it and released a clear light to cover up the strange phenomenon; otherwise, the golden light could have been seen from a great distance.
Jiang Jun used his divine sense and true energy to try to break through the golden light seal and explore the mysteries inside the lotus seed, but he failed.
Unlike strange objects whose uses and side effects are immediately known upon acquisition, divine objects, in addition to their basic purification and protection functions, require one to comprehend their unique supernatural properties on their own.
His brow twitched slightly, but he didn't force it. He emptied his mind and body and carefully comprehended each and every rune.
These runes are completely illogical, like unrelated symbols that have been scrambled and randomly pieced together.
The more Jiang Jun tried to understand, the more confused he became, and beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
"A faint-light level divine artifact, is it really that troublesome?"
Within his sea of consciousness, the Pure Lotus cast its clear light, and the Five-Colored Stone pulsed with radiant light, illuminating Jiang Jun's divine thoughts.
He calmed himself down and decided not to force himself to understand the runes anymore. He simply used his divine sense to drive his true energy and traced them stroke by stroke.
"Buzz..."
A talisman appeared out of thin air in the room, its eight corners radiating light and emitting strange fluctuations, making people unable to resist being captivated by it and wanting to explore its mysteries.
But Jiang Jun remained unmoved and continued to depict the second, third, and fourth...
These golden lotus seeds are ultimately only at the faint light level; although the runes are mysterious, their quantity is always limited.
Half an hour later, thirty-six runes appeared in the air, flashing chaotically.
Jiang Jun tried to arrange them one by one, intending to combine them into a coherent chapter, but to no avail.
They seem like the ramblings of a madman, completely devoid of any discernible pattern.
He pondered for a moment and said, "The Department of Mysteries defines it as a 'faint light' level, in contrast to a 'damaged' level artifact, which proves that it is not difficult to use. It's just that I don't understand the key to it."
He thought and thought: "It can't be that we have to use yin energy to activate it, right? No, that's absolutely impossible."
"According to the Bureau of Mysteries, mystical objects are essentially a form of resistance and counterattack by the real world against the laws of the Abyss. If they can only be used with the help of Yin energy, wouldn't that make them inferior to mystical objects?"
He stared at the lotus seed, looking at it again and again, and suddenly thought: Overuse of magical objects could lead to "Taoist transformation".
The concept of "Tao-transformation" refers to a special state in which a person's consciousness enters the Great Tao, becomes so engrossed in it that they cannot extricate themselves, and ultimately forget their own existence, returning to the Great Tao.
Therefore, the use of supernatural objects must be related to human consciousness.
He gazed at the golden lotus seed: "If my divine sense cannot enter, then I can only let the golden lotus seed enter my sea of consciousness. But the sea of consciousness is an illusory place, incapable of storing physical objects..."
Jiang Jun dispersed the runes in the room, and his divine sense and true energy returned to his sea of consciousness.
In the next instant, thirty-six talismans appeared out of thin air, shining brightly in the sea of consciousness.
In a trance, a chant seemed to rise from the void, clear and resonant, cleansing the mind and spirit:
"Bā (bēi)——"
The thirty-six runes suddenly merged into one, transforming into an ancient Sanskrit character that slowly fell into the pure lotus.
On the pure lotus stem, a golden flower bud immediately sprouted, ready to bloom, with a faint fragrance of sandalwood wafting through the air.
Inside the jade box, the runes on the golden lotus seed gradually dissipated, revealing its true form.
This is not a real lotus seed, but a piece of clear yellow amber, perfectly formed without any trace of carving, as if it contains a wisp of ancient Buddhist light.
"This strange object is actually related to Buddhism."
"Padmasambhava" is one of the six-syllable mantras in Buddhism, symbolizing wisdom, purity, and remaining untainted by the mud. It can purify ignorance and represents the animal realm among the six realms of existence.
The "Pure Lotus" visualization diagram was originally created by the Department of Divine Wonders by combining Buddhist and Taoist scriptures and various classical texts, simplifying them.
Among them, the Buddhist concept of "pure mind" plays a significant role, which is extremely consistent with this mystical object.
Jiang Jun held it between his fingertips, and in a moment of inspiration, softly murmured, "Pa—".
A golden light flew out from the amber, circled the room once, and landed on the elite-level Huangjing ghost doll that Jiang Jun had partially purified.
The golden light resembled a Buddha's hand, peeling away layers of filth.
Huangjing Guiwa let out a miserable scream, black smoke billowed from his body, and the eerie energy within him dissipated.
Jiang Jun was taken aback: "Is this how divine artifacts purify strange creatures? Isn't that far too simplistic and crude?"
He moved the Huangjing Guiwa to the corner of the wall and began to seriously ponder the wonderful uses of lotus seeds.
After several days of research, he finally discovered the function of this strange object.
【Brahma Lotus Seed · Ba】: When the user recites the mantra "Ba", golden light will fly out to purify the evil energy.
Reciting mantras daily can generate protective golden light.
If you place it in one place and chant sutras for many years, it can create a lotus-like Dharma realm, where evil spirits cannot invade and monsters cannot harm you.
"If I were a demon tamer, this divine artifact would be a treasure for my survival."
Jiang Jun sighed, "Unfortunately, my foundation still lies in the Way of Suppressing Things. I can't just sit idly at home chanting scriptures all day..."
In his hands, this golden lotus seed could only be used as a useful tool.
Having figured out the wonderful uses of the golden lotus seeds, Jiang Jun temporarily set them aside and continued to purify the strange plants.
Jiang Jun tried each of the dozen or so strange plants that Liu Yanxin had given him, and quickly completed the purification process, but unfortunately none of them had amazing effects.
Undeterred, he specially set up a greenhouse on the balcony, arranged the plants, and then focused on harassing the Yellow Spirit Monster and the Blood-Stained Lotus.
To his surprise, he discovered that after the Golden Lotus Seed incident, the Yellow Essence Ghost Child's evil energy was greatly diminished, and its resistance to the purification fluctuations of the Five-Colored Stone was significantly weakened.
If he weren't afraid of killing it all at once and ruining all his efforts, he would have really wanted to use the golden lotus seed again and recite the "Pa" mantra once more.
And so, another half month passed.
The elite-level Huangjing Ghost Child has finally completed its purification.
As the last wisp of eerie energy dissipated, the malevolent aura between the little creature's brows and eyes vanished completely, and its previously unsightly, uneven eyes returned to normal.
His left eye was round and bright, while his right eye was slightly curved, making it look like he was smiling.
A warm yellow light flashed, and it sat up directly from the wooden box, tearing off the talisman on its forehead that was about to expire.
"Ah... Ah..." It looked at Jiang Jun, a hint of affection and awe flashing in its eyes, and its little mouth opened and closed, making soft and sweet sounds.
Jiang Jun chuckled: "It really turned into a Huangjing boy? Looking so human, I wouldn't even dare to cook and eat it..."
He held the baby in his palm and examined it closely.
The Huangjing boy was about three inches tall, with a small, yellow face like a freshly steamed pumpkin cake. It had all the facial features and its seven orifices were open, and it already resembled a human.
Its two feet still resembled forked stems, white and tender, like they were wrapped in swaddling clothes; its two hands, however, were chubby, with all five fingers and faint lines on the nails.
Seven tender leaves grow on its head, standing trembling, exuding a faint spiritual aura, swaying gently with each breath, like wearing a small hat.
The only thing that slightly displeased Jiang Jun was that he could only repeat the syllables "ah-beh-ah-beh": "Oh no, is he an idiot?"
He patiently played with the little guy for half a day, then suddenly realized something was wrong: "Are you chanting scriptures here?"
This isn't the "bei" sound at all; it's clearly the Sanskrit "ba (bēi)"!
Jiang Jun suddenly had an idea and stuffed the amber-golden lotus seed into its mouth: "Don't stop, keep chanting the sutras..."
The next moment, as Huangjing Tongzi continued chanting "Ah Bei Ah Bei," a faint golden light emanated, gentle and warm.
