It was the last day of the Newcomer Rankings…There was still one more chapter at night.

I hope everyone will continue to support me.

===============================

The golden cicada moved slightly and said,""Thank you, Almsgiver Tang. This Penniless Monk has awakened.”The voice was not the familiar voice of the mistress.

"Are you the Golden Zen Master?" Tang Sanzang was surprised and delighted.”

" I've fallen into reincarnation for so many years that I almost forgot my name," the voice said indifferently." Yes, I'm the second disciple of Lord Tathagata, the Golden Zen Master!"”

" Great!" Tang Sanzang said happily." Elder Golden Zen Master, I have a lot of things to ask you!"”

" My divine sense has already fused with Tang Sanzang's," said the Golden Zen Master." I have some understanding of Benefactor Tang's thoughts." Ask me whatever questions you have, but don't take too long. I've just recovered my Soul Consciousness, so my power is extremely weak. I still need a long time to cultivate.”

Tang Sanzang nodded and said," Well, Elder Golden Zen Master, I'll make it short. Why were you punished by Rulai to come down to the Lower Realm?"”

The Golden Zen Master smiled faintly." I knew you would ask this question first. I didn't want to tell you this secret, but I'm in your Spirit Sea now. We're going through life and death together. Telling you might be beneficial to you."”

The Golden Zen Master thought for a moment and said,""Almsgiver Tang, do you know the three major sects of Buddhism?”

"Bodhisattva Lingji told me that there are three major sects in Buddhism: the Zen Sect, the Vinaya Sect, and the Tiantai Sect. Among them, the Zen Sect is the most powerful."”

The Golden Zen Master smiled and said," So it's Lingji. No wonder I feel that the circulation of the Qi in your body is very familiar. It's the Xumi Heart Technique!"”He continued," Since you know, I don't have to explain anymore. I cultivated under Rulai and had already cultivated a four-foot golden body, which is ten feet more than Eldest Brother Kasyapa's thirty-foot golden body. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before I cultivated Rulai's sixty-foot golden body. But at this time, an accident happened.”

"Old Gold, forgive me for calling you that. I'm sure Elder Golden Zen Master won't blame me, right?" Tang Sanzang interrupted.”After getting an affirmative answer, Tang Sanzang said," Old Jin, what did you mean when you said that you had a golden body? I've never heard of it before.”

" I didn't expect you to not know this common sense," the Golden Zen Master laughed." I can only explain it first." The power of us Buddhist cultivators is divided into several levels, and each level is divided into several levels. The most basic level is called Buddha, which has a total of seven levels. After passing the seven-layered pagoda, one would enter the positive fruit layer. The positive fruit was divided into 12 levels. After cultivating the positive fruit, one would be able to ascend to the Nirvana Realm and enter the Perfection Layer. There were six levels of perfection. Those who could reach perfection were the backbone of their sects. Once they broke through the sixth level of perfection, they could cultivate a golden body. Those who could become a golden body could be called Buddha. The gods and Buddhas with a golden body must be the leaders of their sects. The golden body was divided into six levels, and they were divided according to the height. His Buddha Body would grow with each level, which meant that the higher the level of the golden body, the higher the height of the Buddha Body.”

Tang Sanzang's horizons were greatly broadened when he heard this. He said in realization,""So that's how it is. Tathagata has cultivated the sixty-foot golden body, so his magic power is naturally unmatched.”He thought of something and asked," Old Jin, how many feet are the golden bodies of the four Bodhisattvas like Guanyin, Samantabhadra, Manjushri, and Ksitigarbha? I've seen Guanyin Bodhisattva before, but I've never seen her golden body.”

When the Golden Zen Master heard Guanyin's name, his body trembled slightly. It took him a long time to control himself. He pretended to say naturally,""What Bodhisattva cultivates is not a golden body, but a jade body.”Sensing Tang Sanzang's confusion, he explained," I haven't finished explaining just now. After breaking through to the Sixth Level of Perfection, one will advance to different levels according to their own cultivation direction. They will develop outward to cultivate the Golden Body, and inward to cultivate the Jade Body. Tathagata's junior brother, Ancestral Master Subodhi, cultivated the Jade Body. The jade body layer is divided into nine layers, with feet as the unit. If you cultivate to nine feet jade body, your magic power is enough to compete with the sixty feet golden body. However, as far as I know, the highest level of jade body cultivation, Subhuti, has only reached seven feet jade body. The four Bodhisattvas you mentioned are only three or four feet long, which is equivalent to the mana of a golden body. Guanyin's mana may be higher, about five feet.”When he said the last sentence, the Golden Zen Master's tone was a little strange, but Tang Sanzang didn't notice it.

Tang Sanzang's head was spinning, but he still understood. He had a quantitative understanding of the power level of Buddhism in his heart. He said in admiration,"No wonder everyone says that the Golden Zen Master is the most prized disciple under Rulai. He has cultivated a four-foot golden body. Isn't he much more powerful than Guan Yin Bodhisattva? En, he could even reach Grandmaster Subhuti's level!”

The Golden Zen Master sighed." I'm still a little weaker than Uncle Subhuti, but I'm indeed the best among the new generation of disciples in the Spiritual Vulture Mountain. But what's the use of that? Master Tathagata has sealed most of my magic power from time to time and punished me to come down to the Lower Realm."”

Tang Sanzang finally remembered what the Golden Zen Master had just said and teased him curiously,""Ole Gold, what heinous things have you done? I've asked many Bodhisattvas and immortals, but none of them know the reason.”

The Golden Zen Master sighed." It's not something unpardonable. It's just that I invented a new Zen method."”

"What dhyana?" Tang Sanzang asked curiously.”

The Golden Zen Master said," In fact, after cultivating to the Golden Body, one mainly relies on one's own comprehension to cultivate. If one's understanding is different, the results of cultivation will also be different. It's very common to invent new Zen techniques. For example, the Xumi Heart Technique that you learned was invented by Ling Ji, who had a golden body of ten feet. And the dhyana technique I invented was too shocking, and it was discovered before it even succeeded in the experimental stage. That was why I, Buddha Rulai, couldn't tolerate it and was punished to come down to the lower realm.”

Tang Sanzang's heart itched as he heard this. He urged,""Ole Gold, tell me, what kind of shocking Zen technique is it?”

"It's the Joy Zen!" the Golden Zen Master said lightly.”

" Happy Zen," Tang Sanzang said in realization." It's a Zen technique that increases magical power through dual cultivation. No wonder Tathagata, who has always been abstinent, would act up like this."”He had heard a lot of descriptions about the Happy Zen in the future, so he naturally had some understanding.

" How did you know?" the Golden Zen Master asked in surprise." No one knows about this except for a few gods and Buddhas. Besides, Tathagata has even forbidden us. Who dares to tell you?" Could it be…Could it be her? Tell me, who told you!"

Tang Sanzang didn't expect the Golden Zen Master to be so excited. He quickly explained,""Old Jin, don't be so agitated. No one told me. What I said just now was mostly just a guess. I didn't expect it to be true.”

Only then did the Golden Zen Master calm down a little. He sighed and said,""It's good that she didn't tell you. Otherwise, she would also be punished by Rulai. You can actually guess the cultivation method of the Happy Zen.”

Tang Sanzang waited for the Golden Zen Master to calm down and asked carefully,""Old Jin, who is 'she'?"
