Chapter 961: Chapter 685: Divine Techniques Arcane Scroll

Spirit Mountain.

Before stepping into this place, Miao Shan Arhat had already detailed the circumstances of Spirit Mountain to him.

In Chen Sheng’s mind, there was already a sketch:

“Within Spirit Mountain, it is not a place of harmony but divided into four lineages.”

“They are the four lineages of Sun Residence — Star Sun, Fang Sun, Mao Sun, and Void Sun.”

“Among the four, the [Star Sun] lineage is the most prosperous.”

“The most recent Great Power to attain the Buddha fruit position came from the Star Sun lineage.”

As for whether the other three lineages have Buddhas, it’s the deepest secret of Spirit Mountain, even Miao Shan does not completely know.

Chen Sheng was extremely certain in his heart: “[Void Sun] lineage must have no Buddhas.”

The Buddhas of Spirit Mountain have always been aloof from worldly matters.

Daily operations, judgments, resource allocations are presided over by the Great Bodhisattvas of the four lineages.

And for newly promoted Arhats like him, the daily cultivation site is — the Maha Institute.

…

The Maha Institute, the Arhat Treasure Hall of Spirit Mountain.

In this place, clouds and mist arise naturally, Buddhist sounds emerge by themselves, Bodhi flowers never wither throughout the seasons, every inch of space is soaked with the Dao Rhyme left by ancient Arhats and Bodhisattvas.

Chen Sheng sat cross-legged on the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform.

The Buddhist light around his body was restrained, like Glazed enveloping his body, crystal clear yet not revealing any pressure.

The holy image of the Arhat was clear, solemn, with a gentle air hiding a sacred aura that commands respect without anger.

At the center of his brow, the Bodhi mark was half-hidden, half-revealed.

Overhead in the void, a [Rebirth Wheel] slowly suspended, the divine technique radiance like an awning hanging down, the breath of rebirth and transformation faintly permeating.

His eyes partially closed, fingertips lightly brushed over a scroll of plain paper.

The paper was pure white, without a single word.

Yet at the moment his Divine Sense gently touched it— the ancient scroll suddenly bloomed with infinite clarity, countless mysterious runes circulated in the mist of light, glowing, vanishing, and reorganizing like the motions of stars, implicitly containing the supreme principles of heaven and earth.

Vaguely, there was a Buddha phantom seated in the light, uttering truths, explaining the supreme Great Dao.

The sound was inaudible, but the meaning had already entered the heart.

This scroll was named—

“Supernatural Scroll.”

It was personally left by an ancient Buddha who had long since been annihilated, containing the fundamental cultivation secrets of this world, and was the essential classic that all Arhats in Spirit Mountain must cultivate, comprehend, and master.

As his Heart Spirit sunk into the ancient scroll, secrets of divine techniques far exceeding mortal understanding, profound truths of the Great Dao, slowly unfolded within Chen Sheng’s mind.

The more he comprehended, the more clarity filled his heart, yet the more he was astonished.

“So, it is like this…”

“The essence and status of divine techniques in this realm is akin to the Dharma Seeds of Integration Cultivators in the Spirit Realm.”

“However, Dharma Seeds in the Spirit Realm are formed by the law generated from one’s own will.”

“Whereas the divine techniques of this realm are derived from the laws attached to the Golden Position.”

He had experienced the cultivation path of the Spirit Realm, was more familiar with that road than anyone.

“Integration Realm in the Spirit Realm requires the personal opening of a Small Thousand World, using the cycle of birth and death of the world… to slowly refine the Dharma Seed.”

“Allowing the Dharma Seed to transform, elevate, and reach Perfection, eventually transforming into the Dao Seed.”

“Once the Dao Seed is formed, it undergoes the baptism of the decay and Dao Tribulation…”

“Enduring all decline and tribulations, making the Dao Seed flawless and transcending the constraints of the Grand Thousand, only then can one be called a Mahayana Cultivator…”

That was a long road, measuring eternity, using countless beings as fuel.

Chen Sheng sighed inwardly.

He understood too well the hardships and difficulties within.

Yet the path recorded in the “Supernatural Scroll” before him was entirely another path.

A path rewritten by the power of the Golden Position.

“And the cultivation of divine techniques in this dimension, like former breathing exercises and Dao Foundation — there are shortcuts.”

“Cultivating divine techniques does not require stubbornly persisting in a single way, forcibly deducing, transforming, and elevating, seeing the path to the end.”

“The true core lies in two words — ratio.”

“Four divine techniques originating from the same source, complementing and balancing each other, arranged in a specific sequence to form a closed loop, is the most perfect configuration.”

“Once the ratio of the four is achieved, it can naturally invoke the Heaven and Earth resonance, directly aiming at the Golden Position!”

Chen Sheng secretly deduced within his heart, using mortal logic as a comparison, it became clearer and more transparent.

“If likened to constructing a building.”

“The path of Spirit Realm’s Dharma Seed and Dao Seed is to forcibly build a two-hundred story high-rise on a single foundation.”

“Cultivating a Dharma Seed achieves only fifty stories.”

“The remaining one hundred fifty stories require gradual accumulation, day by day, brick by brick, any slight mistake might collapse the building and destroy the Dao, ending all efforts.”

“The difficulty far exceeds that of the first fifty stories by hundreds, thousands of times.”

“But the cultivation path of Lingyao Realm does not demand a skyscraper of two hundred stories.”

“Just choose four foundational paths, standing separately in four directions, each building a fifty-story structure, as long as the total reaches two hundred stories in all.”

“At that time, buildings resonate with buildings, paths complement each other, four directions form a closed loop, naturally achieving the configuration.”

“It can directly invoke the Golden Position, borrowing the power of Golden Position to validate the Dao.”

Such a path is not merely a shortcut but directly rewriting the essential logic of cultivation.

“The difficulty of cultivation plummets by ten million times.”

“Saving billions of years of painstaking refinement, directly using divine techniques to supplement divine techniques, using configuration to replace height, gathering the four phenomena, invoking the Golden Position.”

“The four great divine techniques, in essence, are merely four Dharma Seeds.”

“The difficulty of all four combined is still no match for refining a true Dao Seed.”

“Not to mention, in this world, the Purple Mansion allows for reincarnation and the rebuilding of the Dao Foundation.”

“It can even seize others’ Divine Techniques, refine them, and forcefully complete one’s own layout.”

Chen Sheng comprehended the true meaning of this stage of cultivation and finally understood fully.

Why cultivators in this realm can, within a short lifespan, walk through the Integration and Crossing the Tribulation of the Spirit Realm, crossing this long accumulation measured in thousands of years.

“There is fundamentally no true accumulation.”

“It is completely done by borrowing the Dao, taking shortcuts…”

Chen Sheng slightly opened his eyes, a flicker of golden light flashed past, deep as the ancient universe of the starry sky.

The more he comprehended, the deeper he realized the terror and dominance of the words “Golden Position.”

“Spiritual Aperture comes from the authority of the Golden Position.”

“The Dao Foundation Map comes from the Golden Position Path.”

“Even Divine Techniques are derivatives of the Golden Position.”

“Compared to the Immortal Dao cultivation of the Spirit Realm, every cultivation stage in this realm is forcibly elevated by the Golden Position.”

“Everything originates from the Golden Position… so ultimately, everything will return to the Golden Position.”

“If the Golden Position is without a master, then there is a chance to enter it.”

“But if the Golden Position… already has a master.”

His fingertip paused slightly, a trace of chill arose in his heart.

In his past life, the [Taiyin Fuwei Yingkui Immortal Monarch] in his deepest memory was the most brutal example.

On the Divine Land Continent, among the countless Purple Mansion True Masters of the [Vulnerable Moon] and [Kui Star] lineages, which one wasn’t extraordinarily talented and high-spirited?

In the end, they were just like a swimming fish in that Immortal Monarch’s fish pond, bait in the pool.

At this thought, Chen Sheng felt slightly relieved, secretly glad.

“Fortunately… [Void Sun] is without a master! Without a master, it is our greatest chance for survival.”

He calmed his mind, retracting his thoughts, focusing on the Void Sun lineage itself.

“The Void Sun lineage of Spirit Mountain has seventy-four Arhat Divine Techniques in total.”

“But according to the strict rules of Divine Technique matching, one must not cultivate randomly.”

“The more you cultivate, the more varied and chaotic it is, the more it will disrupt your own structure.”

The Void Sun lineage has four core traits which are fundamental: Void, Annihilation, Concealment, Transition.

To attain the Golden Position, the four Great Divine Techniques must correspond one-to-one with these four core traits; none can be lacking.

Otherwise, it will be a waste of effort, and there will be no hope of knocking on the door of the Golden Position.

“For the trait of Void, one should cultivate Divine Techniques like Void Concealment and Virtual Transformation Evading Sky.”

“For the trait of Annihilation, one should cultivate Divine Techniques like Annihilation, Suppression, and Dormancy.”

“For the trait of Concealment, one should cultivate Divine Techniques like Concealing Qi, Concealing Dao, Concealing Spirit, and Concealing World.”

“For the trait of Transition, one should cultivate Divine Techniques like Rebirth, Universal Salvation, Transcendence, and Liberation.”

Chen Sheng sighed inwardly, as the saying goes:

A True Inheritor says a single word, a false inheritor writes countless books.

“If in this life I had not entered Spirit Mountain and received the True Inheritance of the ‘Divine Technique Mystical Treatise,'”

“Even if I could cultivate into the Purple Mansion, I would probably stumble into countless pitfalls wasting years.”

Those side-path Loose Cultivators and Wild-path Purple Mansion True Masters, unaware of Divine Technique matching, even if they gather four Divine Techniques, they have no hope for the Golden Position!

They can only reincarnate to cultivate again.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng felt even more grateful towards Miao Shan Arhat and Formless Monk.

…

Half a month later.

Spirit Mountain, Mahayana Buddha Tower.

This place stores all the Arhat Divine Techniques inheritance, only those who bear fruit can enter it.

Chen Sheng stood before the vast name list of Divine Techniques, his Divine Sense swept over, the names of Divine Techniques, spells, and traits reflected one by one in his heart.

He already had a plan in mind and began to precisely select.

“I mainly cultivate ‘Heart Sutra of Void Rebirth,’ which results in the Divine Technique [Rebirth Wheel], centered on Transition.”

“The characteristic of Transition is already perfected.”

“I still need the three major traits: Void, Annihilation, and Concealment.”

His gaze fell upon a scroll of a golden body technique, his eyes brightened.

“‘Golden Body of Annihilation’—once cultivated, can refine the Divine Technique [Annihilation Body], corresponding to the path of Annihilation.”

Immediately after, he looked at a heritage inclined towards the Void Concealment.

“‘Void Nether Storage Realm Seal’—can refine the Divine Technique [Void Nether Concealment], not calculated by cause and effect, corresponding to the path of Concealment.”

Finally, he looked at a scroll of escape technique most compatible with the Void Sun origin.

“‘Great Void Shadow Escape’—refines the Divine Technique [Great Void Shadow], turning the body into void, corresponding to the path of Void.”

All four techniques complete, corresponding to the four fundamental traits of the Void Sun, forming a closed loop, perfectly matched.

Chen Sheng was resolute in his heart.

“Upon entering Spirit Mountain, by convention I can select one Arhat inheritance for priority cultivation.”

His gaze roved, finally landing on ‘Golden Body of Annihilation.'”

“Let’s choose—’Golden Body of Annihilation’ first.”

“My understanding of the path of Annihilation is already profound, cultivation will be twice the result with half the effort.”

With his mind made up.

Chen Sheng reached out, gently tapping on the spell scroll, in an instant, infinite golden light poured into his sea of consciousness.
