Chapter 5238 Breath Changes
In that void, a virtual shadow appeared. The shadow was hazy and indistinct, resembling emptiness but not entirely so."Should I call you Kongming, Yuanshi Jianmo, or simply one of your divine conscio...Outsiders only know that the black lotus before their eyes is mostly from the 密宗 Buddhist sect, making people praise it as an immeasurable black lotus. Based on this, countless variations have emerged.
In fact, Lu Xiaitian obtained the transmission from the Esoteric sect. Among the black lotuses in the Buddhist Esoteric sect, the ones that outsiders fear most are the Lotus of the Troubled World, the Limitless Lotus, and the Lotus of Rebirth.
The boundless black lotus within refers to this boundless lotus, and Lu Xia Tian's cultivation on this path was indeed the most outstanding. However, according to the records of the transmission, the turbid world lotus and the nirvana lotus are more powerful than the boundless black lotus, and their mystery surpasses it.
The black lotus before the eyes should be mainly the boundless black lotus, but it has added a few more mysterious meanings.
The boundless black lotus was not originally a Buddhist object. It was obtained by the founding ancestor of the esoteric Buddhism from the battlefield between immortals and demons. Afterward, he used it to comprehend numerous martial arts techniques and formations.

These floating black lotuses before my eyes contain elements related to Lu Xia Tian's lineage, as well as things beyond his understanding.
At the same time that Lu XiaTian felt a sense of mystery, he was also excited. At his level, this kind of thing that could give him insights and breakthroughs in his techniques was more precious than any treasure that could directly increase his cultivation.
As expected of the Immortal Demon Battlefield, Lu Xia Tian took a deep breath, slightly calming the excitement in his heart. Lu Xia Tian took a step forward and directly stepped into the area where the black lotus surged.
These black lotuses were not living beings, but they possessed a strong sense of territory. Once Lu Xia Tian entered, hundreds of black lotuses nearby surged towards him.
Petals of lotus fell one by one, then drifted towards Lu Xia Tian.
“The Eastern Saint is really bold. He came to the Abyss for the first time and didn't even probe before rushing in. He's truly courting death!” a demon sneered.
"That's right, except for those at the Immortal Monarch level who have the ability to escape alone, anyone else going in there with a Yuanshen body is basically sending themselves to be slaughtered. I thought Eastern Saint of Alchemy would first order the Skeleton Buddha army to conduct some reconnaissance, but unexpectedly, the renowned Eastern Saint of Alchemy didn't even try to scout before acting so recklessly. It seems like many rumors are not entirely true."
“This Eastern junior’s actions are truly bold.” Miexin Ancient Buddha couldn’t help but look towards the Nine Turns Dragon Seal Dharma King’s split image.
Originally, it was Mo Yu who forced Lu Xia Tian to probe this area. He also waited for Lu Xia Tian to propose his own conditions. Even if the other party wanted a part of the Skeleton Buddha Army to go to their deaths, Mie Xin Ancient Buddha didn't mind.
To his surprise, Lu Xia Tian was so reckless. Without a single probing move, he jumped straight into the Black Lotus.
As those chattering ants in the distance say, unless one's cultivation reaches the level of an Immortal Monarch, it is impossible to forcibly break free from this predicament. Once an ordinary soul falls into it, there is little chance of survival.
“If this fellow were truly useless, I wouldn't have bothered to save him. As for the Dharma King, he still has a heart for talent, doesn't he”
The value of a fifth-grade celestial saint is undeniable, but the path taken by the Extinction Heart Ancient Buddha is rather unique. Lu Xia Tian's role to him is relatively unimportant. It's the Nine Turns Dragon Seal Dharma King who has a significant need for Lu Xia Tian. If anyone among them would step in to save Lu Xia Tian, it would undoubtedly be the Dharma King.
“You underestimate the Eastern Saint. If he hesitated and repeatedly probed, I would think his heart was guilty. Now that he so decisively rushes in, to say he didn't see through something is beyond my belief.”
Before the Sect Master passed away, there must have been a reason for entrusting the inheritance of the Dan Furnace to this person. Over these years, the actions of the Eastern Dan Saint have proven that the Burning Realm Ancient Buddha did not make the wrong choice. If it were any one of us here, we might not necessarily be able to survive the many difficulties.
The Nine Turns Dragon Seal Master shook his head, seeing Lu Xiaitian's calm gaze, he felt much more at ease now.

“Is that so Then this old Buddha will have to wait and see.” Mie Xin Gu Buddha smiled noncommittally.
Faced with these black lotus petals that danced over and appeared quite beautiful, Lu Xia Tian formed hand seals. With each changing seal, black lotuses bloomed around Lu Xia Tian, appearing identical to those in the abyss.
Lu Xia Tian's black lotus around him slowly moved, petal by petal it fell off. It looked aimless and scattered, yet every single petal collided with the lotus petals that had been killed by its surrounding attacks.
A series of dense, low pops sounded consecutively, with countless lotus petals transforming into a wave of black light that rippled.
For a moment, the surging black lotuses within the abyss were held back by Lu Xia Tian's presence, unable to advance an inch.
"Unexpectedly, Dongfang Dansheng truly stopped them. With over a thousand ghost clan members led by a Jinxian-level ghost immortal, and more than ten teams that had arrived before, including powerful figures at the Yuanshen realm, none of them could withstand the power of the black lotus for long. Dongfang Dansheng was able to do this with such ease, it is truly remarkable."

"Yeah, right now the Eastern Saint of Dan hasn't used any treasures yet. Just relying on some ordinary methods to block these black lotuses. It's possible he might even be able to break in later."
"As expected of the renowned Eastern Saint, you are truly extraordinary."
This is just the beginning. The black lotus in the abyss is endless, and the Eastern Dan Saint is just one person. How long can he maintain it
Although the voices of discussion were chaotic, with both masters and novices present, there were also those who possessed a wealth of knowledge. After careful consideration, one could see the predicament that Lu Xiaoteng faced.
Two different black lotuses were still clashing, seemingly not in a hurry. Their movements weren't particularly intense, but when they did move, dozens or even hundreds of lotus petals collided with each other. The area where the black light waves oscillated was so turbulent that even a Great Luo Jinxian-level expert would find it difficult to stand firm.
Lu Xia Tian, with one hand forming the boundless black lotus seal, slowly walked forward. Like a rare, clear-headed bystander, Lu Xia Tian now seemed to be blocking the continuous attacks. But for him to withstand the entire abyss of Black Lotuses with his own strength was akin to striking a rock with an egg. Let alone him, even a Xianjun level expert would eventually exhaust their energy if they continued like this.

It's definitely not advisable to just charge in headfirst. Throughout his encounters with these black lotuses, Lu Xia Tian has also been searching for their patterns.
Staying put isn't a solution either, perhaps we should go see how the black lotus operates throughout this abyss.
Lu Xia Tian took a step forward. As he clashed with the Black Lotus, he increasingly sensed that the boundless Black Lotus he cultivated had many shortcomings. This was something that couldn't be grasped in previous transmissions.
The cultivation method of the boundless black lotus originated from the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and was comprehended by a previous accomplished monk. Just as a single lotus leaf can be viewed differently from various perspectives, so too can different individuals perceive it in unique ways.
Lu XiaTian walked through the void, every step giving birth to lotus flowers, with lotuses and lotus leaves sprouting wherever he passed. Compared to before, he had a few more inexplicable auras about him.
It seems that solitary closed-door cultivation or seclusion is not the best way to improve one's cultivation. Lu Xiaotiān's progress in the Buddhist lineage of the Mi Zong sect wasn't particularly outstanding. This experience deepened his understanding of the boundless black lotus, and he vaguely felt a similarity between it and the Pure World Lotus of the Mahavira Buddhist sect.
Could it be that these two lotus flowers originally had a very deep connection At the same time Lu Xia Tian was enlightened, there was also a sense of inexplicable wonder in his heart.
Moreover, in esoteric Buddhist teachings, there are only general mentions of the lotus of the turbid world and the lotus of rebirth. Could these also be similar
What would happen if one could gather these four kinds of Buddhist lotuses

Even the ancient Buddha, Mie Xin, furrowed his brow. With their keen eyesight, both he and the Dharma King could perceive subtle details. They were not surprised by Lu Xiaofei's strength, but rather by the rapid change in his aura. Even the slightest shift was impossible to conceal from their watchful eyes.
Although Lu Xia Tian hadn't completely deciphered the current predicament, an unexpected situation arose. They had initially predicted that either Lu Xia Tian would perish amidst the chaos or find a safe path through the abyss.
As for Lu Xiaitian's profound comprehension in Black Lotus, and the fusion of the two is something unexpected.

“The Dharma King indeed has a discerning eye. This kid’s abilities are indeed somewhat beyond our expectations. If we were to let him fully enter and exit this place at will, we might not be able to control him very well.”
At this time, Miexin Gufo sensed a hint of threat from Lu Xiaitian. The other party was already a powerful being in the Yuanshen realm. If they were truly able to integrate into this Buddhist domain, even he and the Dharma King behind him might not be able to do anything about him.
"Don't worry too much for now, the celestial army is swarming in. Although the Buddha Realm is vast, there are only a few exits for the time being. If Eastern Dan Saint doesn't want to face the slaughter of the celestial powerhouses alone, he still needs you and me to hold them back." The Nine-turn Dragon Seal Dharma King's split shadow shook his head, looking confident.
“Well said, at that time we’ll just set fewer obstacles.” Miexin Ancient Buddha let out a chuckle, feeling he had calculated Lu Xia Tian to death.
At this time, Lu Xiaitian had already stepped into the expanse of black lotus petals. Looking around, the endless sea of black lotuses seemed to stretch endlessly to the horizon. The black lotuses seemed to be able to serve as a carrier for divine consciousness, growing to the very edge of the world.
For a moment, Lu Xia Tian had a new understanding of the boundless realm. Perhaps this was the true mystery of the boundless realm. The cultivation methods he had learned from the lineage before did not fully reveal the true meaning of the boundless realm.
Lu Xia Tian still took a step forward as usual, seemingly nothing out of the ordinary. But in the next instant, he appeared, having already broken through the hundreds or even thousands of fluttering lotus petals before him, arriving at a vast expanse of nothingness.
But soon, black lotuses sprouted again around Lu Xia Tian's body, their speed even faster than Lu Xia Tian himself.
"It seems that not only has he cultivated the Limitless realm himself, but these Black Lotuses are even more so. Moreover, on this path, they surpass him by a considerable margin."
Lu Xiaoteng's mind flashed a sudden realization. The boundless black lotus wasn't just a symbol of speed; it was like the spatial teleportation technique, encompassing the profound principles of wind, fire, and thunder systems related to speed. When these principles were cultivated to their peak, the displayed speed might not be much inferior to this boundless one. There was a certain connection between them.
In this boundless black lotus, compared to ordinary speed-type supernatural powers, it contains more changes. After reaching the realm of Yuanshen, in some places where divine consciousness is involved, one's methods can also move at will, easily arriving and killing low-level enemies in an instant.
However, such methods are greatly limited in the Xianmo Battlefield and many harsh environments, with their effectiveness significantly reduced.
While some advanced martial arts techniques are strengthened through other means, the Limitless Black Lotus is one of them, and it's considered one of the most top-tier methods.
Whatever you can think of, it's limitless. It can be used to pursue enemies or kill them!
As time went on, Lu Xiaotian's speed increased dramatically. However, to onlookers, his pace remained leisurely and unchanged. The only thing that differed was the transformation of Lu Xiaotian's state of mind.
No matter where Lu Xiaotian appeared, the black lotuses around him followed like shadows. However, the hostility of these black lotuses didn't seem as strong as before.
Lu Xia Tian's eyes first showed a hint of surprise, then he quickly reacted, realizing that there was more than one way to enter the Buddha realm.
If one's strength reaches a certain level, they can directly overcome it with force, defeating ten opponents with one move. Naturally, they can then enter.
After understanding the formation to a high enough level, it may also be possible to enter through cracking the operation method of the Black Lotus Formation.
It's just that it's so difficult to achieve this level. Lu Xia Tian believes that his attainments in formations are not low, and for a while he is at a loss as to how to break the formation in front of him.
Even some array masters with mediocre skills would find it difficult to sense the traces of the Black Lotus Array's operation, let alone decipher it. Perhaps only Xiang Qingcheng could personally intervene to make substantial progress.
However, Lu Xia Tian was also a little dubious in his heart. Mie Xin Gu Fo and Jiu Zhuan Long Yin Fa Wang, these two old monsters had lived for so many years. Although it was impossible for them to know everything, their attainments in formations might not be as good as his, or even weaker than Xiang Qing Cheng's.
This kind of monster with a layered personality is cunning and unpredictable. Its true strength is difficult to gauge from its outward display. It's merely the facade it wants outsiders to see.
In conclusion, don't have any trust in these two old monsters. However, before the two sides turn against each other, it might be possible to use these two powerful beings to tie down the celestial army's energy.
A more convenient way is to merge oneself into the surging black lotus, blending both sides' breath together, thus turning enemies into friends, or making it impossible for the black lotus within Buddha's domain to distinguish between friend and foe.
This method would be extremely difficult for the enemy, but not necessarily impossible for Lu Xiaoteng. At least now, after his epiphany just now, Lu Xiaoteng has shown signs of being able to do it.
In addition, Lu Xia Tian has gained a new understanding of the transmission of esoteric Buddhist teachings. Perhaps it is due to his improved cultivation level, or perhaps he himself does not regard this transmission as the supreme existence, unlike other Buddhist believers.
Lu Xia Tian had never relied on this kind of inheritance. Relatively speaking, it was easier for him to have some doubts about it. At this time, discovering the slight shortcomings of the inheritance naturally became easier, or perhaps more acceptable.
Even a disciple who had cultivated in the esoteric Buddhist traditions since childhood, upon noticing something amiss, might not be able to accept the shortcomings of the Infinite Black Lotus technique so quickly.
