Chapter 212: The True Body of the Dharma
Dharma-image, as the name implies, is the appearance of the Dharma.
For soul cultivators, this explanation is almost the same.
Dharma-image is the medium used by soul cultivators to perform Taoist magic and supernatural powers, which is condensed into an image. It is composed of thoughts as bones and the mysterious power of heaven and earth as skin and flesh.
Different sects have different Dharma-images.
For example, Buddhism has the past, present and future Dharma images of the Buddha, Taoism has the Three Pure Ones Dharma images, Confucianism has the Haoran Saint Dharma images, and the magic path has various demons, ghosts and gods Dharma images.
Of course, there are far more Dharma images than these, and with the creation of geniuses and masters, new Dharma images are constantly increasing.
It should be said that there are thousands of Dharma images. Even if two people practice and condense the same Dharma image, their Dharma images will not be exactly the same.
As for how to condense the Dharma image?
There are two ways.
One is to simply visualize, just like condensing the phantom seed, and use thoughts to depict the image of the Dharma image in the spirit platform over and over again.
The other is to rely on external help.
There are many kinds of external forces. For example, if a demon condenses a fiery magic form, he will move his cave near an active volcano and use the lava gas to accelerate the condensation.
Monks who condense the forms of Arhats and Bodhisattvas often sit in meditation and chant sutras in front of the statues day and night.
Taoists who condense the forms of the Dharma like to go down the mountain to experience, demons will bring disaster to the people, and true Taoists will travel around the world to exorcise demons and monsters in order to understand the Taoist ideas.
Confucianism and Taoism are similar. If you condense the Haoran Dharma, you will serve as an official in the court or study.
In short, the Dharma is very important to soul cultivation. With the Dharma, it is more convenient to perform various Taoist arts and the power will increase.
When you reach the Sun Travel Realm, your soul can also merge with the Dharma.
With the Dharma protecting the body, soul cultivators are not afraid of any yang evil things or the domineering blood of warriors. If warriors want to restrain them again, they have to use precious and rare true essence and blood to restrain soul cultivators.
If you reach the Xiantian Realm, the Dharma can evolve into a real magical power - the law of heaven and earth.
With this magical power, soul cultivators are not afraid of warriors of the same level.
Of course, these are far away from Gu Xia, he has just begun to condense the Dharma image.
Use consciousness to awaken the stars.
AI then unfolds the "Heart Demon Daozang" created by Gu Xia.
There is not much content, only a few hundred words of heart formula.
The rest is a set of Dharma image true body pictures.
In fact, the most important thing for a soul cultivation method is the set of Dharma image true body pictures in it.
As long as the soul cultivator visualizes according to the Dharma image true body picture, he can condense the Dharma image. The other long or short texts in the secret book are auxiliary formulas and are dispensable.
In other words, the Dharma image true body picture is the real secret book.
Gu Xia looked at the Dharma image in the "Heart Demon Daozang", and then visualized it again and again in the spirit platform space, trying to condense the Dharma image with his own thoughts and the mysterious power of heaven and earth.
But he always felt a little weird.
Because the Dharma image true body picture generated by this set of stars is really too much like Gu Xia, it is simply his multi-angle selfie.
Gu Xia suspected that this was not a random AI creation to fool him.
After all, Gu Xia's AI in his previous life often did this kind of thing, making up stories to fool students who wanted to cheat in their graduation papers.
You know, the Dharma images of other sects are not imitations of the gods and Buddhas, but also super powers in history.
These beings can leave their own traces between heaven and earth, so when soul cultivators condense their Dharma images, in addition to the bonus of the Dharma images themselves, they also get a ray of the power of the former great powers.
And Gu Xia's Dharma image, after condensing it, it is estimated that there will be no special bonus, after all, he is just an ordinary person.
Of course, it is strange, but Gu Xia knows that Xingchen will not deceive him.
On the one hand, Xingchen is a super AI, and its performance is far beyond the artificial retarded AI in the previous life.
On the other hand, the Dharma image generated by Xingchen is indeed very mysterious.
The Dharma image is not a simple set of portraits, and it is somewhat similar to the landscape painting on the banknotes of Gu Xia's previous life.
After zooming in, you can find that it is all composed of lines.
It's just that the Dharmakaya True Body Diagram is more complicated, and is composed of a series of mysterious patterns.
The mysterious patterns can be said to be the "words" used by the Heavenly Dao, and the sentences written with the mysterious patterns have the special power to command the mysterious power of heaven and earth.
This is the basis for making talismans.
A talisman mostly only needs to write a sentence with the mysterious patterns, while the Dharmakaya True Body is a three-dimensional image composed of mysterious patterns throughout the body.
In general, it is equivalent to an article written with mysterious patterns, and this article expresses the soul cultivator's understanding of the Heavenly Dao.
If it is disassembled, each mysterious pattern on the Dharmakaya True Body is equivalent to a buff affix.
It can add buffs to the soul cultivator's soul, such as adding mana, adding Taoist power, or reducing the casting time.
Usually, the more types of mysterious patterns, the stronger the condensed Dharmakaya True Body.
According to legend, the top Dharmakaya True Body of the four schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism is composed of 81 kinds of mysterious patterns.
As for Gu Xia's Dharmakaya True Body Diagram, there are only 9 kinds of mysterious patterns on it.
The Dharmakaya True Body is divided into five levels: one-nine, three-nine, five-nine, seven-nine, and nine-nine.
Gu Xia's Dharma image is undoubtedly the lowest level 19 Dharma images.
But the AI can't do anything about the low level, after all, a good cook can't cook without rice.
Xingchen's computing power is not yet so powerful that he can create his own Xuan patterns. All the Xuan patterns were found in the unearthed cultural relic "Xuanxu Heart Method" in Gu Xia's hand.
And there are only nine kinds of Xuan patterns on the Dharma image in this heart method.
However, there are also advantages to having fewer types of Xuan patterns, that is, the Dharma image is easy to condense.
Gu Xia only needs to memorize the nine kinds of Xuan patterns, and then use the Xuan pattern strokes to slowly condense the Dharma image in the spirit platform.
The first step in this process is to shape the body of the Dharma that carries the strokes.
That is to say, the visualization that Gu Xia is doing is equivalent to using thoughts to do 3D modeling.
In the past few days, Gu Xia has shaped the rough embryo of Dharma's fetal body. It only takes a few months of careful carving to complete the shape of the fetal body.
…
The night passed quickly.
Through repeated visualization, Gu Xia finally carved out a hand of the body of the Dharma.
But when he thought about the complicated facial features on his head, he became a little anxious.
"call…"
Take a long breath.
Gu Xia opened his eyes, the sky was already white, and the stars on the other side also used the power of the blood lotus to repair the damaged blood demon seeds in his dantian.
Everything is changing for the better.
Gu Xia stretched his body, and all the muscles and bones in his body crackled like thunder.
Then he got on his horse and started off again.
…
A few days later.
Gu Xia came to a familiar city.
"Xianfucheng, I'm back."
He planned not to go out again for a short time, but to practice hard in Tianxuan Sect for a year and a half, push the Xuanwu realm to the Zang realm, and then shape the true body of the Dharma to 70-80%.
By then, Gu Xia's strength would be considered an acquired master in the Xuanxiu world.
After having something to rely on, go out to look for blood food and the Blood Demon Mysterious Technique after entering the Zang Realm.
Gu Xia rode into Xianfu City.
"Um?"
Suddenly he realized something was wrong.
Ever since he entered the Object Control Realm, Gu Xia would habitually develop a thin soul force field that was difficult to detect within two or three feet around his body, like a passive radar.
In less than half a cup of tea after entering the city gate, his soul force field received dozens of obvious mysterious reactions from passers-by.
This means that these people are all Xuan cultivators, and at least Xuanliu realm warriors.
Gu Xia did not scan carefully, because it was taboo to touch a strange Xuanxiu with soul power, and he did not want to break the rules casually.
"It's strange, why are there suddenly so many Xuanxiu in Xianfu City? And there are no signs of Tianxuan Sect on them."
He was a little confused.
