Chapter 191 The First Natural Disaster

Chapter 191 The Fourth Natural Disaster
The Buddha's light flowed and shone a hundred feet high, illuminating the look of shock and ecstasy on Nanyin's face clearly.

It also surprised the monks who were discussing in low voices nearby.

"It's actually true..."

Nanyin murmured to himself, his eyes full of ecstasy and excitement.

When he obtained the fragments of Great Nirvana, what he was most worried about was that it was an illusion.

Only effective in connected secret realms.

If this is the case, then this Buddhist fragment will be meaningless.

Now it seems that he was overthinking.

The power of Master Yunli was far beyond his imagination. A piece of the Great Nirvana Fragment could enable him to attain enlightenment in an instant. If he could collect all of them, the Bodhisattva stage would be just around the corner.

The people around looked at Nanyin mumbling to himself and asked curiously:
"Master Nanyin, what is true?"

“I passed the tutorial.”

"what?!"

In an instant, there was a dead silence all around. Except for those who were still immersed in the secret world of the Internet, everyone else rushed over excitedly.

"How about it?"

"What happened after you cleared the customs?"

Everyone asked in a hurry.

Nanyin looked at the enthusiastic expressions of the crowd, took a deep breath, faced the Ciyun Temple, clasped his hands together and bowed to the Buddha, saying:

"Master Yunli, the Buddha's virtue is majestic and incredible. I have gone through the test of the secret realm and heard the wonderful Dharma. I have already entered the great nirvana."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the sunlight leaking through the gaps in the tree canopy gradually shrank back above the tree canopy, leaving behind a shadow.

Considering the previous scene of bright sunlight, everyone knew that this was the embodiment of the word "dark and brilliant".
"We are devoutly devoted to the Buddha. Can Master Nanyin explain it in detail?"

"Could the rumors be true? Is the interconnected secret realm a test from Master Yunli?"

Seeing this, everyone became more jealous and started asking questions.

Nanyin did not hide anything and told everything that happened after he passed the level.

"The Great Nirvana Fragment? Can the Buddhist principles be comprehended in this way?"

"Wait, according to what the Master said, didn't it only take one morning to comprehend the Great Nirvana Path?"

"Monks don't tell lies?"

When everyone heard that Master Nanyin had used a so-called Great Nirvana Fragment to attain enlightenment, they were all shocked beyond words and repeatedly sought confirmation.

When Master Nanyin heard the questioning, he did not get angry but explained calmly.

He knew that things like the secret realm of the Internet could not be kept secret and would spread sooner or later. By chance, he became the first person to successfully pass the level. Instead of hiding it, it would be better to show it openly. Maybe he could give Master Yunli a good impression.

For a moment, countless people were excited after hearing this.

I can’t wait to re-enter the secret realm of the Internet and try to break through!

"By the way, I still don't know what the phantom body reward is?" Someone seemed to remember something and asked quickly.

"I haven't had time to verify this yet. I'll know when I go and take a look."

Nanyin said no more and simply logged on to the Internet in full view of everyone, heading for the secret realm of the Internet again.

When his consciousness passed through the colorful channel again, the familiar novice tutorial hall appeared before his eyes again, and everything was exactly the same as when he had just left.

"Open the storage compartment!"

He shouted in a low voice, and the storage compartment appeared before his eyes like a virtual Internet light screen.

Looking at the phantom diagram in the storage compartment, he tapped it lightly to confirm its use.

Instantly, the phantom body quickly enlarged and enveloped his body.

At the same time, the main door of the hall opened without wind.

Nanyin's heart moved, he mustered up his courage and walked away. When he stepped through the palace door, the world changed!
He landed in front of a Buddhist temple, surrounded by green trees and winding and undulating mountains, like a coiled dragon lying on the earth. The more Nan Yin looked at it, the more familiar it felt.

Looking around, it suddenly dawned on me.

This is Ciyu Temple!

Looking back, the hall I crossed had become a Buddhist temple.

As you step inside, you will see the statue in the hall is none other than Master Yunli!
Nanyin was filled with shock and looked down at himself. His body did not look old at all, his fingers were slender and shiny, and from the details of his clothes, it was exactly the image he had sculpted in the secret realm of the Internet.

What surprised him was that this phantom body seemed to have the same level of cultivation as him.

It looks exactly like his original form except for the difference in appearance.

"So this is the phantom body!"

Nanyin muttered to himself and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

He took the incense, burned it reverently and paid homage to the Buddha.

As he inserted the incense into the incense table, an illusory screen lit up before his eyes.

【Visit Daoxin and walk with Buddha】

[Open the task section]

Looking at the subtitles on the virtual screen, Nan Yin felt as if he knew every word but couldn't quite understand them. After a moment's hesitation, he clicked on the task section, and immediately a series of tasks popped up.

[Hunting demons, building temples and settling monks, collecting medicinal materials, refining magic tools, sweeping Ciyun Temple, spreading the Internet...]

Each task is described in detail later.

After Nanyin checked it out, he finally understood.

These tasks are optional.

However, after completing the task, you can get certain points and merits.

Points can be used to exchange for magical instruments, elixirs, and even incense.

Merits can be used to exchange for fragments of the Great Nirvana.

When Nanyin saw this, his eyes lit up. Doesn't this mean that as long as he completed enough tasks, he would be able to achieve Bodhisattva status in the near future?
Thinking of this, he immediately couldn't sit still.

After a brief hesitation, he accepted the mission to hunt down demons.

The reason is simple: this task offers the highest reward.

Then he searched around the Buddhist hall again, and after making sure that no new content could be triggered, he turned and left.

When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Gou Wa was just coming out of the back room. When he saw the man appear in front of him, he was so frightened that he immediately took a defensive posture.

"How did you get in?"

"Amitabha, little master, we meet again. I have passed the novice test and have been granted a phantom body. I was naturally born before the Buddha Hall. Don't you know that, little master?"

Nanyin greeted, and Gou Wa was completely stunned by his words.

"You, you... passed the tutorial?"

"Exactly."

"Well, what happens after we pass?" Gou Wa asked subconsciously.

"After you pass, Master Yunli will bestow his blessing..."

Nanyin explained everything in detail and thought to himself, it turns out that this young monk was not someone who had passed the novice tutorial. Judging from the rude way he spoke, he was probably a disciple of Master Yunli.

It seems that he is also a person of amazing talent, otherwise how could he win the favor of Master Yunli?

Right now we have to get along well and build good relationships.

Little did he know that after hearing this, Gou Wa felt a chill in his heart.

As the first person to log into the secret realm of the Internet, he was beaten to it by others. He didn't know how Master Yunli would look at him.

But the little bit of pride he had just built up was crushed to pieces at this moment.

He vaguely realized that he was not special. Taoist Yunli just took him in as a novice monk by chance.

Without him, Ciyu Temple still operates normally.

Thinking of this, a huge sense of crisis enveloped his heart... He must pass the novice tutorial as soon as possible, otherwise his position will be in jeopardy.

The South Indian monk had no idea what a severe impact his words had caused to Gou Wa.

After leaving Ciyu Temple, the first thing he saw was his own body sitting cross-legged, with many monks sitting around him.

When these people heard the sound of the door of Ciyu Temple opening, they all looked up and saw a handsome young monk walking out.

Everyone looked at him in a strange way.

They had been guarding outside Ciyu Temple for several days and had a general idea of ​​the situation there.

I know that apart from Master Yunli and a young novice monk, there is no one else in the temple. How come another novice monk appears now?
Amid the confusion among the crowd, the novice monk approached, clasped his hands together and said, "Masters, do you still recognize me?"

Everyone responded: "We are not very good at seeing, may I ask what is the young master's Dharma name?"

Nanyin smiled and said, "Amitabha, my Buddhist name is Nanyin."

"South India?"

Everyone was stunned and subconsciously looked at Nanyin's body sitting cross-legged, and then looked at the little monk with a bewildered look on his face.

However, some smart people shouted, "Could this be the phantom body that the wizard mentioned?"

"Exactly!"

"If it is an illusory body, why does it look like a real person, with Buddha's light hidden inside?"

"I don't know, but since this phantom body was created by Master Yunli with the supreme Buddhist teachings, it is not surprising that it seems both real and illusory."

"Makes sense!"

"Master Yunli is truly the Holy Buddha of the present age!"

"Of course not. It is said that Master Yunli is the reincarnation of the Buddha of No Light who has attained nirvana. He has already comprehended the supreme Buddhist teachings in the state of nirvana. Otherwise, how could he have the benefit of the Internet?"

The appearance of Nanyin's phantom body immediately caused an uproar among the crowd.

However, Nanyin did not come here to show off!

He wanted to try what would happen after logging out.
So with everyone witnessing, Nanyin withdrew from the phantom body, and when his consciousness awakened in his physical body, the phantom body fell into a state of suspended death like nirvana.

Surprisingly, the energy fluctuations coming from the phantom's body also subsided.

It looks like a paper-made figure, illusory and vague, as if it would break with a poke!
This scene surprised everyone.

"How strange! This phantom body looks like it has lost its soul. Could it be that landing in the secret realm of the Internet is a form of soul travel?"

"Impossible. I have tested it. When logging into the secret realm, the soul is always sitting in the body. What is gone is a wisp of thought."

"How can a single thought support the realm of illusion?"

"Who said that it must be supported by thoughts? Don't forget that this phantom body was created by Master Yunli. Perhaps it is precisely because it is so amazing that a tutorial for novices was set up!"

"It makes sense."

Everyone was talking about it, and their hearts were getting more and more excited.

I heard from Nanyin that with a phantom body, one can start tasks, and after completing tasks, one can obtain magical weapons, elixirs, and even merits.

Merit, in particular, is the key to exchanging for the Great Nirvana Fragments.

The road that was once unattainable now seems to be within reach!
However, the key to everything is to obtain a phantom body!
——Damn this beginner tutorial, why is it so difficult!
While everyone was watching Nanyin's phantom body, their eyes turning green with envy, Gu Yunli was also paying attention to the use of Nanyin's phantom body.

The illusory body originated from Buddhism.

After Gu Yunli attained Bodhisattva status, his understanding of the illusory body became more profound.

This time, using his phantom body to take over the user's thoughts is exactly his ultimate idea to take over Ciyun Dharma Realm.

——The true fourth disaster!

Among them, the body that supports the user is the phantom body.

The phantom body is the best match for the caster. Except for its extremely low defense, it can almost perfectly simulate the caster's magical powers.

It can be said to be Gu Yunli’s best magical power in creating the Calamity Corps.

However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.

——He cannot, and dares not, extract the user's soul and fill it into his phantom body. Once he does so, the user will not be able to accept it, and the so-called fourth disaster will become a joke.

His solution was to use data to tamper with reality, transforming the user's thoughts into souls to support the activities of the phantom body.

It sounds simple.

The actual operation is actually very simple.

Although tampering with reality to customize phantoms for users may seem complicated, in fact, he only needs to allocate a portion of computing power to mechanically respond to user needs.

The only problem is that creating an illusion and tampering with reality consumes too much mana.

Unfortunately, his Xuanmen cultivation level is only at the level of a celestial being, which is simply not enough to support such a large user base.

This is the fundamental reason why he had to set up tutorials for novice players and select advanced players.

"With my current status as a Bodhisattva, I dare not say that I am invincible, but I should be able to run away if I can't win. The key right now is to comprehend the meaning of the data as soon as possible. Only when I advance to the Golden Immortal realm can I unleash the power of the Fourth Calamity."

"It's time to make some money to supplement the family income!"

……

……

Punan City, Chanyin Temple.

Inside the nine-story pagoda, Jingyuan Bodhisattva sat cross-legged, quietly playing with a network login device in his hand.

Looking closely, it turned out to be one of the login devices leaked from Ciyu Temple.

It turned out that ever since he and Gu Yunli had parted ways on bad terms, although he left in anger, he had been paying attention to Ciyu Temple.

We are fully aware of the actions of Ciyu Temple!
Of course, I already knew about the secret world of the Internet.

However, he did not complete the novice tutorial, although with his ability, he could do it at any time.

As the saying goes: Those who are superior to others will be noticed.

Even if he used all kinds of magical powers to cover up, the first person to pass the level would inevitably attract the attention of Master Yunli.

Therefore, it was not until the South Indian monk completed the novice tutorial that he learned about the Great Nirvana Fragments and the illusory body.

"Great Nirvana Nether Glory Fragment? I'm afraid it's not some kind of enlightenment method, right?"

"This method is quite ingenious!"

"Using Great Nirvana as bait to select disciples is a different approach."

Monk Jing Yuan, who was thinking about this, suddenly thought of something and widened his eyes: "Oh no, is he going to use this method to select talents from all over the world?"

As this thought came to mind, a jade communication talisman emerged from the void.

Monk Jingyuan swept his mind over and his face suddenly darkened.

He guessed it right!

The Master Yunli was indeed using the secret realm of the Internet to select the best talents in the world.

It turned out that the Internet was updated again just now, and the content of this update was the secret realm of the Internet.

Monk Jingyuan used a special method to log on to the Internet and check the update.

【Internet 5.3 update: Added "Internet Secret Realm" section. 】

Looking closely, this interconnected secret realm is exactly the secret realm where Ciyu Temple selects disciples, but what surprised Jingyuan Bodhisattva is that in this announcement, it is no longer mandatory to complete the novice tutorial.

Then I saw that the announcement clearly stated: Anyone who passes the novice tutorial will receive a fragment of the Great Nirvana and a phantom body!
If you complete 3/10 of the novice tutorial, you can skip the tutorial and obtain a clay golem.

 Two in one
