Chapter 692: Collapse of Faith, the Kingdom of Gold!!
Since then, the mortal realm of Cyber Cultivation has been completed. To sum up, it is:
Qi training: mainly cultivating matter;
Foundation building: converting matter into energy;
Golden elixir: mainly cultivating energy;
Nascent Soul: the trinity of matter, energy, and soul, transformed into Nascent Soul;
Shen transformation: controlling the law;
Lianxu: feeding back to oneself with the law;
Fusion: the fusion of Nascent Soul and the law, becoming the Primordial Spirit,
Mahayana: the Primordial Spirit, the law, and the world, the trinity, transformed into the Primordial Spirit Dharma.
What is the specific combat power of the Mahayana period?
Xiao himself has never really tested it.
One of the important reasons for this is that in the world of Journey to the West, the realm and the actual combat power cannot be simply equated, and there is a lack of clear and definite comparative reference standards.
But generally speaking, when practitioners enter the Mahayana realm, their combat power should not be much different from that of the Golden Toad.
Especially when the Mahayana cultivators display the Primordial Spirit Dharma, the scene is even more amazing, and the scale can reach at least a thousand feet!
Moreover, the size and level of the Yuanshen Dharma Image are closely related to the kingdom of God it has built.
Generally speaking, the more vast the kingdom of God is and the more powerful and perfect the laws are, the larger and more majestic the corresponding Dharma Image will be.
Take Xiao as an example. The entire cyber dimension is his kingdom of God. If his Dharma Image is fully unfolded, its scale will probably be beyond imagination, and it may even be larger than the entire earth!
However, although Xiao has successfully cultivated the Yuanshen Dharma Image, he has never dared to try to use it easily in the Journey to the West world.
There is no other reason, just because such an extremely huge Dharma Image will inevitably attract the attention of the gods and Buddhas in the Journey to the West world once it appears in the world.
The main reason is that Xiao is not sure how strong the top great supernatural powers in the Journey to the West world are. Let alone other things, according to the myths and legends,
the body of Guanyin Bodhisattva is as large as 80 trillion nayuta yojanas, which is about 126) kilometers when converted into modern units!
The circle of light behind its head and neck is hundreds of thousands of yojanas in size, which is about 3140 billion square kilometers, equivalent to more than half of the surface area of the sun.
Faced with such a huge gap, how dare Xiao act rashly?
After Xiao cultivated the powerful Yuanshen Dharma, he could not suppress his excitement and desire, so he prepared to go to other worlds so that he could display his Dharma in all directions and personally test the extent of the power he showed with all his strength.
However, just as he was ready to go, something unexpected happened. He suddenly realized that his believers in the Journey to the West world began to have a large-scale faith break!
This sudden change made Xiao frown. After accepting the memory of the golden toad, he knew what a break in faith meant.
Usually, there are only two possibilities for a break in faith:
One is that the believers switch to other sects and believe in other gods;
The second is that the believers encounter misfortune and have died.
For the first possibility, Xiao thinks it is almost impossible to happen.
After all, in the world of Journey to the West, gods and Buddhas don't care too much about whether believers have multiple beliefs.
As long as believers have enough ability and willingness, they can worship as many gods as they want.
However, there is a key issue here: praying to gods and Buddhas for blessings and seeking protection is not free, but requires offering incense as a sacrifice.
And the incense used for incense is not cheap, and each stick of incense needs to be purchased with real money.
Because of this, even wealthy people with a lot of wealth are rarely generous enough to believe in a variety of gods and Buddhas at the same time on a large scale, and often only choose one belief to worship devoutly.
Especially the group of believers under Xiao, most of whom are shrewd and capable businessmen, and a small number of them are high-ranking officials.
These people are all well-read social elites with smart minds, and they are definitely not the kind of lower-class people who can be easily fooled and deceived by some tricks.
When Xiao collects beliefs, he follows the pure way of interest exchange.
Those people willingly offered their faith and precious spiritual essence to Xiao, and in return, Xiao would protect them and obtain endless wealth.
Because of this, it is difficult for any other gods and Buddhas to snatch these devout believers from Xiao.
However, such a large-scale collapse of faith has occurred at this moment. There must be a unique reason behind it. There must be a large-scale slaughter of believers belonging to Xiao by gods and Buddhas.
"How dare you~~"
After Xiao snorted coldly, his figure instantly turned into a dazzling light and rushed towards the place where the faith collapsed.
He used his most powerful magical power - the golden light of the earth. Under the blessing of the golden light, Xiao arrived at the place where the faith collapsed in almost an instant.
This place is called the Kingdom of Gold, located in the vast coastal desert area.
Originally, this place was just a chaotic and deserted area with few people, a place where even hyenas were unwilling to come.
But under Xiao's guidance, the believers were surprised to find that in the endless yellow sand flying all over the sky, there was actually a considerable amount of rare gold scattered around.
The appearance of the golden sand, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, quickly attracted many gold diggers who dreamed of getting rich.
As time went on, more and more gold diggers successfully dug gold here and made a fortune.
Seeing this, a large number of merchants with a keen sense of smell also settled here, trying to get a piece of the pie.
In addition, those gold diggers made money very quickly, and spent money without hesitation, which naturally attracted more merchants of all kinds to come.
So, under the temptation of the mouth-watering wealth, villages continued to emerge like mushrooms after rain, and their scale grew day by day, and finally developed into a prosperous and lively town.
The town became a kingdom in hundreds of years of development, and this is the origin of the country of gold.
Because everything here was brought by Xiao, the treasure-gathering golden toad has become the main belief of this country. Almost every family worships the golden toad statue and begs for the blessing of the golden toad.
Xiao even regarded this place as his own private land on the ground, and other gods and Buddhas basically would not interfere here. Of course, they could not intervene.
However, it was such a place that gave birth to an unprecedented collapse of faith, and after Xiao arrived, he found that it was the mortals who took the initiative to convert.
This made Xiao angry, but also a little curious. What was the reason that caused the people here to give up their offerings to him and turn to the embrace of the Buddha?
