Chapter 367 Lord of Immeasurable Wisdom! Three Thousand Tuoshe Infants! The Symphony of Foolishness Resounds!
"Grandpa, is that guy very strong?"
Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Luo Qingyue curiously looked up at the alien race shrouded in black light, her eyebrows slightly raised.
What appeared before her eyes was a strange creature that looked remarkably like a human, floating in the air in a cross-legged meditation posture.
A white veil with red lotus patterns draped over his bald head, and a long plain robe fell down, just covering his whole body. There was a lotus cinnabar mark on his forehead, and his facial features were second only to Lu Yu in terms of exquisiteness.
However, Lu Yu possesses masculine and handsome features, with a high nose bridge. Any one of his facial features would make him a handsome man. In addition, his bone structure is excellent. Unless it is a one-to-one replica, any slight change would reduce his good looks. He can be considered an absolutely correct physical template.
It aligns with the aesthetic preferences of beast tamers and most other races.
Without a deep understanding of his true nature, most people would feel a sense of goodwill upon first glance.
Being handsome definitely has its advantages!
At first glance, it's impossible to tell whether this alien is male or female. Despite having delicate features and a smile, it exudes an indescribable sense of distance.
It was as if he should be receiving the worship of all living beings in the heavens, rather than being tainted by the filth of the mortal world.
Eight blood-jade-colored orbs of light swirled around his neck, while a golden orb of light shone behind his head, resembling a celestial being from some great domain mythology, sacred and inviolable.
Although Luo Qingyue knew that one should not judge a book by its cover, compared to the tall and fierce Lava Giant and the ferocious twelve-armed demon, the guy in front of her did not seem like a ruthless killer.
Most people on the human side shared similar thoughts with Luo Qingyue. Although they were wary, upon seeing this alien race, they instinctively felt...
The other person seems easy to get along with!
Their mood calmed down, but they didn't care. After all, even alien races weren't all evil; they just had different stances.
"It's this race."
However, many giants and ecosystem owners, including Cui Han, looked surprised. Dongfang Yuan also frowned slightly. Anyone who had lived for a few hundred years recognized this guy's identity.
Upon hearing his granddaughter's question, Luo Zisong snapped out of his daze and said with a dark face, "Idiot, is your spiritual vision just for decoration?"
"Activating spiritual vision consumes spiritual energy, and the spiritual radiation from high-level experts is too strong. You can't just look around randomly, or you'll go blind. You're the one who taught me that. Stop, stop, stop. Don't always resort to violence to solve problems, old man."
Luo Qingyue muttered something, then, seeing the old man about to resort to violence again, quickly created a safe distance. She then activated her spiritual vision and looked over, her expression one of shock: "This is…"
From the perspective of the spirit vision, the alien's appearance remained unchanged, but the white robe covering its body was suddenly half gone, revealing more of its body.
Below its chest cavity, only the crystal-clear, jade-like ribs and the cross-legged, white skeletal feet remain, possessing a beauty that transcends the boundary between life and death, like a skeleton.
His abdominal flesh appeared to have been hollowed out by something, allowing a direct view of the internal structure.
Inside, the spine had been gone, replaced by a chubby, fair-skinned infant who bore a striking resemblance to the original, sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed. Behind it, countless blood vessels converged, crawling across the skin, twisting and turning to form a bizarre tree-like pattern.
In the tree canopy, there grew blood jade fruits with a nearly transparent texture...
No! That's not right!
Luo Qingyue sensed something was wrong and decisively used the spiritual puzzle piece [Eye of History] to enhance her spiritual vision by one level, only to discover...
That's not a fruit at all!
The blood jade on the outside is actually an external amniotic membrane, similar to the Moon Palace. Inside are identical, fist-sized infants, their eyes closed, fast asleep with peaceful and content expressions.
It's like being gestated in the womb!
"How can there be so many babies?"
Luo Qingyue was shocked and subconsciously looked up, only to find that the eight orbs of light surrounding the other person's neck were not decorations, but rather the larger Infant Palace.
hum!
Seemingly sensing Luo Qingyue's gaze, the babies' eyelids twitched slightly, and they squinted, looking in her direction.
boom!
At this moment, the golden crown behind the head of this mysterious alien being shone down, illuminating the tree of flesh and blood, and the infant sitting inside it. Although the infant resided within the tree, it gave the impression of possessing the vastness of the world.
"..."
The enormous shadow expanded little by little, gradually enveloping the world in Luo Qingyue's eyes, and ancient chanting began to echo in her ears, eroding her reason.
But the next second, the world before her eyes shattered.
Psychic energy is depleted!
"this……"
Luo Qingyue was still shaken and wanted to speak, but because her spiritual energy was depleted, she was like a traveler who was almost dying of thirst in the desert. Her voice was so hoarse that she could not make a sound. The wind blowing in felt like blades cutting her throat, causing her unbearable pain.
At the same time, the golden radiance she had just witnessed continued to spread, attempting to completely engulf her.
"Hey!"
With a soft murmur, the Constant Crane appeared behind her, unleashing a black and white radiance that quickly restored Luo Qingyue to her state before she activated her spiritual vision, shattering the external force.
He looked into the distance with apprehension.
Everything happened in an instant. The alien prodigy floated silently in the air. From beginning to end, his eyes were only on Lu Yu, who sat on the Foolish Seat in the Duel Arena at Dusk, smiling and nodding as if to greet him.
Lu Yu responded with a smile, his gaze warm.
As for Luo Qingyue, she was merely a minor figure caught in the lingering effects of the situation.
"How terrifying!"
The other human geniuses had been watching Luo Qingyue closely, and those who had originally wanted to learn from her and activate their spiritual vision also silently stopped.
Luckily I was a little too slow, otherwise I would have been in trouble too.
They don't have a grandfather with constant power to back them up and quickly restore them to full strength!
Looking at the panting Luo Qingyue, Luo Zisong sternly began to lecture her: "You yourself said you shouldn't look around, yet you still activated your spiritual vision. Isn't that reckless?"
Apart from Lu Yu and Dongfang Yuan, there are really few young people in this generation who catch my eye. Back in my day...
Old Deng, you were the one who told me to watch it, and now you're blaming me!
Sooner or later, they'll blow up all your other savings!
Luo Qingyue took a few deep breaths to calm her resentment, then quickly interrupted the old man's reminiscences and asked, "Grandpa, who exactly is this guy? He seems a bit like those guys from the Ancient Zen Domain."
"Because they share the same origin," Luo Zisong said in a deep voice. "This guy comes from the ancient Zen Saint Tuoshe clan."
Many industry giants remained silent.
"The ancient Zen saintly clan?"
Luo Qingyue was somewhat confused, and the other geniuses were also unfamiliar with this name, because this domain was relatively isolated and did not communicate much with the outside world, so there were not many channels for information.
Lu Yu, standing in the dueling arena at dusk, had a deep, thoughtful gaze, indicating that this was not unfamiliar to him.
As one of the three main worlds, the Beast Taming Realm naturally has a concept similar to Buddha. In one of the Alliance's major domains, a glorious Buddha Ecological Kingdom was even born.
After the ancient Zen Kingdom perished for unknown reasons, it left behind many secret realms of ancient Zen ecology, which nurtured many pet beasts with unique evolutionary paths in the Buddhist world.
Their evolution is not like that of ordinary pets, which rely on fighting. More often, they need to explore their own wisdom, study the principles of the world, or follow certain precepts to evolve, sometimes sitting in meditation for decades.
Although the conditions are harsh, if one successfully evolves, one will be extremely powerful and will have no weaknesses in mind or body. Therefore, despite the various restrictions, there is no shortage of people who pursue them, allowing the monk culture to be passed down.
Even most of the inhabitants of the ancient Zen region are believers, and they still retain the customs of meditation, contemplation, and sacrifice to this day.
However, the deity they worshipped was not the Buddha, Buddha of the Three Worlds, Guanyin Bodhisattva, or other Buddhas worshipped in Lu Yu's previous life's Buddhism, but a great being called the "Lord of Immeasurable Wisdom".
Their doctrines are similar; they both revere Buddhist concepts such as observing precepts, defining the mind, comparing the world to a sea of suffering, eliminating greed, anger, and ignorance, and pursuing wisdom. They believe that as long as one traverses the human world, cultivates one's own wisdom, and stabilizes one's spirituality, one can use the power of pet animals to build a "bridge to the end of defilements," enter the ancient Buddhist ecological realm, and obtain infinite wisdom and immortality.
Because its doctrines are not extreme, but rather encourage people to do good and do not readily offer sacrifices, it has become one of the many orthodox religious sects recognized by the Alliance.
When Lu Yu first transmigrated and saw the information about the Ancient Zen Domain, he thought this world was still connected to his previous life. However, as his strength increased and he gained a deeper understanding of the world's essence, he felt...
The Lord of Immeasurable Wisdom is very different from the Buddha. He is most likely not a god. The latter is an independent entity, but the former seems to be an aggregate of countless Buddhas!
According to Lu Yu's deduction, the reason for this similarity is that the great beings have encroached upon the source of the rules, becoming the biggest source of pollution themselves. They don't need to do anything; it's like a person standing by a river, creating a reflection. Their own ecosystem flows along the mother river through billions of worlds, thus reflecting different similar individuals or projections.
They are Him, but He is not them!
If Lu Yu's previous life was not in the [Disease Realm] of the same main world, then Buddha was very likely just a projection of the [Lord of Immeasurable Wisdom].
If so, then the problem is a bit serious!
As for why...
Luo Zisong began to explain: "You should know that the ancient Zen region has been closed for nearly a hundred years, right?"
Luo Qingyue nodded. While the other major domains were exchanging information and resources like crazy in the internet age, the Ancient Zen Domain was like a solitary youth, beautiful in its own right.
Even entering it requires applying to the Ancient Zen Domain's branch alliance and obtaining approval before entry, resulting in very low information flow efficiency within.
This is also why most geniuses are unfamiliar with it; they've never seen it before, so how can they be familiar with it? It's just something that's mentioned in books.
Luo Zisong continued, "Actually, this isn't exactly a secret. It's just that you were born a bit late in the world. In fact, although religious culture is prevalent in the ancient Zen region, they are not rigid. On the contrary, they like to use Zen philosophy to explain technology. You could say that anything related to wisdom is inseparable from their presence; they are followers of wisdom."
When the internet first started, it was common to see people surfing the web and preaching, earning them the nickname "cyber masters." But soon after, the Zen-type pets in the Ancient Zen Domain all suffered from an unknown disease, undergoing a mutation called "Tuoshe-ization," evolving into certain obsessions in Zen philosophy and becoming a new kind of creature called "Tuo Beast." These creatures are naturally inclined to disrupt the Zen ecosystem, plundering the wisdom of monks to enrich themselves. Once plundered, they become fools.
Even the invisible and intangible network was affected by this mysterious force, giving birth to a new type of Cybertronian. Fortunately, it was easily crushed by the True King of the Supreme Council, thus preventing a major chaos. However, for safety reasons, the Alliance had the Machine Mother convert the network of the Ancient Zen Domain into a regional network and established a large number of firewalls.
Afterwards, hundreds of Alliance investigators risked their lives to conduct an in-depth investigation and discovered that the source of everything was an ancient temple in the Ancient Zen Domain, which sought to obtain more power from the [Lord of Boundless Wisdom]. However, this great being seemed to have encountered some problem and did not respond, but unexpectedly awakened the ancient race that once ruled the Ancient Zen Kingdom.
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Countless people were shocked, while many giants remained calm; they had lived long enough to be familiar with these matters.
The royal family represents a clan that possesses a true king, whose laws transform the entire clan, thus granting them blessings.
Once a true king is lost, such as the Abyss Eye Demon race, the laws of the true king fall silent, and they are relegated to the top tier.
The ancient race, which existed much earlier than humans and demons, is believed to have appeared in the earliest, most desolate era of the world. Among them, there were top-tier true kings who were close to the realm of great beings.
Or perhaps they were created by the great beings who could freely descend upon the main world at that time, with divine blood flowing through their veins, who once ruled the earth for countless years, with all races submitting to them.
In terms of overall strength, it is even half a level higher than the royal family, provided that there is a true king within the family.
Without a true king, there is no voice!
When the human race launched the Great Expedition of the Stars, their main targets were the royal families and ancient races. The battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth shattered, and nine-tenths of the powerful beings died at their hands. The other races only replaced one-tenth of the population.
If it weren't for the blessing of the Mother River, humanity would probably still be a lowly, enslaved species, and even now, there's no guarantee that we could exterminate the ancient races.
This time, Lu Yu is actually going to fight the ancient clans?
Wouldn't that make them no different from royalty?
Thinking of this, Luo Qingyue looked worried.
Luo Zisong saw through her thoughts and comforted her:
"Don't worry, it's not the complete ancient clan. Because of the destruction of the ancient Zen Kingdom, the Tuoshe clan was also severely damaged, losing some key memories and strength. There were no True King level experts to revive. That's why they couldn't wait to spread the Tuo beasts to collect wisdom and sacrifice the wisdom of living beings to the Lord of Boundless Wisdom in order to deduce the past."
After being targeted by the alliance, the president of the alliance headquarters and the president of the Imperial University mobilized and forcefully killed most of the Tuoshe Ancient Clan's powerful members. Only one young member escaped and was protected by his clansmen, fleeing to the other side of the Great Abyss. There, he received the protection of a true king from another race, and the matter was eventually dropped.
According to these two individuals, after the Tuoshegu tribe revived, its overall strength was inferior to that of the royal family, but far superior to the top races, making it arguably half a royal family.
At this point, everyone listened in stunned silence.
They naturally didn't think that the Tuoshe Ancient Clan, who could cause the changes in the Ancient Zen Domain and is still in seclusion, was really a nobody.
After all, their abilities, including the beast-taming system of the Heavenly Ancient Zen Domain, can plunder intelligence, making them extremely bizarre.
But what shocked them even more was...
The Alliance Headquarters President and the President of Imperial University were surprisingly fierce, directly smashing the heads of the ancient clan members, forcefully telling them that times have changed.
Now, the Ancient Zen Realm belongs to humankind! Just hearing that gets my blood pumping!
However, amidst the shock, many people couldn't help but feel worried.
This time, Lu Yu is truly facing a formidable enemy!
"Great! It's an ancient race!"
"I refuse to believe Lu Yu can still crush them!"
"The kingdom of this prince of the Tuoshegu clan is my hometown. I heard that he reached the peak of the Radiant Moon realm a few years ago, but he is honing himself and searching for the right legendary traits in order to advance."
"Kill Lu Yu, that great demon, and restore peace to this foreign land!"
"..."
The alien race, having long heard of the Tuoshegu tribe's reputation, had their hopes rekindled.
Half royalty, not to mention crushing them,
Killing Lu Yu shouldn't be a problem... right?
Despite the impressive display of power, most of the alien races and demons were somewhat worried. Although they knew it was impossible, they were still afraid that Lu Yu would pull out another trump card.
Susu!
In the palace of the King of Sui'e, the whiskers slowly writhed, and a pair of eyes traversed the void, looking down at Lu Yu with a playful gaze.
The misfortune he stirred up has struck again. How will Lu Yu struggle this time?
The chieftain of the Heart-Stealing Locusts looked greedily at the Tuoshegu Clan. If it weren't for the protection of another True King, he would have enslaved and devoured them long ago.
However, it wouldn't be bad if we could use him to kill Lu Yu.
hum!
While everyone was talking, the Ancient Zen Saint Tuoshe clan had already entered the Dusk Duel Arena.
He looked at Lu Yu, clad in dragon armor, seated on the throne of the fool, smiled gently, his gaze filled with compassion for all things:
"Tuotian greets Your Excellency!"
Lu Yu asked curiously, "Are you male or female?"
"Without self or form, everything is merely a physical shell," Tuotian replied with a smile.
"So it turns out he's neither male nor female." Lu Yu said, "Oh."
Tuotian was not angry, but smiled at him and continued:
"I appreciate your wisdom."
Bang bang bang!
However, before Tuotian could finish speaking, the void around him shattered, and hundreds of illusory swords pierced through from the dark void turbulence, aiming to stab at his back.
Ultimate Technique - Void Sword Tomb of All Beings!
As the spider progresses, the power of this move increases significantly.
Click!
However, at the moment it was pierced, the infant rosary beads that were rotating around Tuotian's neck were transferred. One of the beads shone brightly, and the sleeping infant inside, who looked seven-tenths like him, opened its eyes, suddenly burst into flames, and its form changed.
boom!
In an instant, it transformed into a gigantic figure with seven topknots, braids hanging down its left shoulder, its left eye slightly closed, its lower teeth biting its upper lip, displaying an angry expression, carrying fierce fire on its back, holding a sharp sword in its right hand and a noose in its left, assuming a posture of cutting off afflictions.
"Secret Technique—Immovable One!"
It said in a deep voice:
"Om!"
Click click click!
In an instant, hundreds of illusory swords shattered and vanished into nothingness.
After doing all this, the figure returned to its infant form and continued to spin as a rosary of light.
Tuotian smiled at Lu Yu, who was standing on a platform of white bones, and said, "Instead of crossing the sea of suffering, why not convert to Buddhism?"
"This guy actually plagiarized Mouse! Kill him!"
The mouse roared through a mental contract, which was less about anger and more about...
excitement!
Finally, I've found some materials that my mouse can use!
"Red Emperor·Fu Tian!" 』
"The Three Calamities Divine Light!"
The two incarnations of the rat surrounded Tuotian and attacked with all their might. Vast spiritual energy surged in like a tsunami, aiming to kill him in one blow.
Seeing this from afar, the paper knight stretched out his hand, conjured a daylight lance, and hurled it out!
However, faced with such an offensive, Tuotian calmly said:
"The World-Honored One said... With perfect concentration, one can universally shake the world of Loka!"
The prayer beads on his body changed, and another infant's light and shadow appeared again, holding a wooden fish and striking it sharply.
The ultimate secret – Shaking the World!
Boom!
Accompanied by a resounding boom, golden ripples spread through the space, annihilating the attack. The ripples spread, pushing the Black Crimson Dragon Ant and the Three Calamities Peacock back several thousand meters.
boom!
At the same time, the Paper Knight's daytime lance pierced through, another rosary bead of the Heavenly Emperor turned, and an ancient oil lamp lit up around the baby. The candlelight ignited, yet burst forth with endless light.
The ultimate secret technique—the Lord of Light!
Even the brilliance of a lance in the daytime paled in comparison to it, gradually transforming into countless golden threads in the air, being dismembered, extracted, and then devoured.
It made the candlelight shine even brighter!
Rumble!
However, at this moment, the earth trembled violently, and Red Hare's charged attack arrived, with hundreds of Earthly Blaze Swords rising up.
"Living in a sea of suffering, utterly ignorant!"
Tuotian sighed, and the prayer beads turned again. The infant transformed into a figure shrouded in black mist, holding a precious bead and standing barefoot on the ground.
The ultimate secret – Ksitigarbha!
With a single stomp, the earth trembled, and many of the Earthly Swords shattered instantly!
Rumble!
Before countless magma could erupt, they quickly subsided in front of this figure, as if facing the Lord of the Earth.
"Mortals are mostly foolish..." Tuotian said quietly, but a mouse shadow scurried by, and the next second, a surging tide of molten oil swept over.
boom!
Even when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stomped down, he could not shatter it and could only watch helplessly as it swallowed him and Tuotian together.
Although it was shattered in an instant, the terrifying power of complete transformation had already spread. On the white bones, flesh and machinery began to grow, and the turning of the gears covering the white porcelain seemed to mock his stupidity.
"How is that possible!?"
Even Tuotian couldn't eliminate it instantly, and his eyes darkened.
"I really thought you were detached from worldly desires, but it turns out you're just empty-eyed!" Lu Yu's sneer rang out.
Upon hearing this, Tuotian frowned, but quickly regained his gentle smile and said calmly, "Master Medicine!"
As the rosary beads turned, another rosary infant began to transform, turning into a radiant projection of crystal light, cascading down sacred crystal light that could heal all diseases and eliminate disasters.
However, he underestimated the polluting power of the molten oil. After driving away most of it, a small amount of molten oil remained, clinging to the bones like maggots, constantly eroding and polluting the spirituality.
『300 Virtual Swords!』
"Red Emperor·Fu Tian!" 』
"The Three Calamities Divine Light!"
"Lance day and night!" 』
"The Sword of Earthly Radiance!"
The five pet beasts attacked again, joining forces to strangle Tuotian, which made him feel a long-lost sense of irritation. The sound of the wooden fish rang out again, shaking the world.
But this time, they couldn't defeat them all!
He was about to make another move when he suddenly sensed the air currents in the world accelerating, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
next second...
"Celestial Breath - Heaven's Trample!"
Tuotian was stomped into the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently.
"My will is the will of Heaven, and it just so happens that you, this celestial being, will carry my feet!"
Lu Yu's voice rang out, and the Heavenly Stomp landed again, but the next second, it erupted with a vast surge of spiritual energy.
The ultimate technique—Immovable One!
Tuotian took to the air again, his gaze cold and gloomy, feeling a restlessness he hadn't experienced in decades, and decisively made his move.
"Nurture and raise sons!"
The prayer beads on his body suddenly shattered, transforming into numerous afterimages that intercepted the many attacking pets. The collisions created terrifying aftershocks of the battle.
This is a gift from the Lord of Immeasurable Wisdom, received by the Santosa clan, and is called the Three Thousand Santosa.
It can plunder the spiritual essence and wisdom of others, and give birth to the Tuoshe infant, which is the Tuo beast in human terms.
At the cost of the ignorance of all beings, one empowers oneself with great wisdom and great power.
This is the way of Thosha!
He was the last hope of the Tuoshe tribe, nurturing the spirits of many deceased tribesmen and gathering the seven Tuoshe infants.
Now is the perfect time to use Lu Yu to condense the eighth sun-related and most crucial Tuoshe, to thoroughly refine his own path and forge his own laws in the mortal world.
At that time, the Tuoshegu tribe will repay the humiliation suffered by the human race tenfold.
Thinking of this, Tuotian's gaze returned to its loving expression. He looked at Lu Yu, and the Tuoshe infant in his abdomen opened its eyes. Mysterious golden light gathered into an illusory longsword, which he held in his hand. It seemed to gather the wisdom of the mortal world and could cut through the dullness of all things.
He said calmly:
"With my sword of great wisdom, I will sever your spirit..."
"Wisdom my foot! Turn me into an idiot!" Tuotian was interrupted by Lu Yu before he could finish speaking.
At the same time, the eyes on the back of the Seat of Fools opened and wriggled as they looked at the distant Tuotian, giving him a chilling feeling.
It's as if... a force that obscures everything is approaching!
Even though they acted quickly, it was still too late...
boom!
"Beep beep beep—"
Behind the seat of the Fool, eerie fire and mist spread, from which emerged the figures of foolish musicians. They began to play music, and strange flute music arose. At this moment, the world became chaotic and disordered.
The Symphony of Fools
Coming!
