Not long after, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother arrived at her destination. It was unknown what she had done, but the entire Golden Light Turtle lit up for a moment.
“Phew, I’ve finally recovered a portion of my power! However, this spiritual power has been sealed for too long and has already solidified. Give me a day or two to activate it. At that time, 1’11 give you a big gift!”
Lin Yan didn’t comment. Spiritual power was probably something similar to magic power?
But why did it still need to be activated?
He ignored this doubt for the time being.
Lin Yan recalled that in the dream, he had seen the Insect King Chain and the Divine General quickly approaching him. After waking up, he realized that it was indeed the case.
In the dream, Xiaozhi was calling him. Was it not entirely a dream?
After the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother turned around and he confirmed that she had distanced herself from the Divine General again, Lin Yan looked at the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother who was swimming like a child beside him. “Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, can you tell me what’s going on with the Treasure Image and the Spiritual Domain?”
The golden turtle circled up and down and stood up. It stuck its two upper limbs at its waist and said, “Then you’ve asked the right person! On this planet, no one knows Treasure Image and Spiritual Domain better than me!”
Planet?
Lin Yan’s heart trembled again. Indeed, the planet that the domineering man mentioned in the Three Dominations legacy really implied that there were other planets?!
However, Lin Yan did not interrupt the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.
“You said before that you’ve seen the Divine General show his might. You must know how terrifying his strength is, right?
Lin Yan nodded and recalled the wooden-armored man and the unknown Divine General this time…
He could not help but say, “1 still can’t imagine that a creature made of flesh and blood can unleash such terrifying power.”
“A body of flesh and blood naturally can’t!”
The little golden turtle stretched its body and swam around comfortably.
“All living beings in the world are limited by flesh and blood.
“Even someone like me, who is born with a huge body that far exceeds other creatures, can’t compare to the power of that Divine General with just the strength of my flesh and blood.
“There are limits to flesh and blood, but the spirituality of living beings can be endless!”
Lin Yan said in a low voice again, “Spirituality?”
“Spirituality is the combination of spiritual substance and soul power. It’s the manifestation of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit. It’s the expression of life consciousness, intelligence, and sparks. It’s also the only source of power that can surpass flesh and blood.”
Lin Yan was no stranger to the word spiritual substance, or spirituality.
For example, now, the Golden Bodhi Scripture was absorbing his spiritual substance power and was about to condense into a Black Jade Bodhi again.
For example, the Nine Wisdom Bodhi was successfully molded by absorbing the spiritual essence contained in materials like the Spirit Marrow.
The former could produce a magical effect, while the latter could allow him to enter an empty state of enlightenment. Both were extremely magical.
Therefore, Lin Yan was not surprised that spirituality or spiritual substance contained magical power.
“So, the Treasure Image that you’re talking about essentially comes from spirituality?”
“That’s right. The so-called Treasure Image is the combination of your Heart Image and the Spiritual Image of the world.
“That and the main body are two sides of the same thing. There’s one mind and two bodies. It’s the materialization of your own spirituality!”
Lin Yan asked again, “What is the Heart Image and the Spiritual Image of the world? What is a form?”
“I know that! I remember now!”
At this moment, Old Qin interrupted, “Anything you see, hear, smell, taste, feel, think can be called an image!”
“This is the summary of Buddhism’s thoughts. It’s a phenomenon explained with your own body as the center. Although it’s not wrong, it can only be said to be one-sided.
“The definition of the image 1 know is the part in a space where the nature of the strength is exactly the same everywhere but can clearly differentiate from the surrounding environment.”
Old Qin shook his head. “1 don’t understand, I don’t understand… By the way, Sister Turtle, 1 think it’s better for me to call you Little Turtle. Look, you call my Big Brother Mommy, and I call Big Brother Big Brother. Aren’t 1 a generation higher than yours? It’s completely fine to call you Little Turtle… Aiyo, don’t kick me, don’t kick me! 1 just called you wrongly! Besides, if you don’t want to call him Mommy now, you don’t have to kick me!”
The little golden turtle was clearly furious from embarrassment. She kicked Old Qin’s head. Calling him Mom was because she was confused by Lin Yan’s Black Tortoise aura and subconsciously called him that!
What did it have to do with her now?!
Lin Yan hurriedly said, “Alright, stop making a fuss!”
The little golden turtle moved its limbs and lay on Old Qin’s head. She knocked Old Qin’s head in disdain and spoke.
She seemed to like the posture of stepping on Old Qin’s body. She placed her hind limbs down and stepped on Old Qin’s shoulder. Her forelimbs were clasped on Old Qin’s head, making a supporting posture as she continued.
“The world has Yin and Yang. All things are divided into Yin and Yang. Their spirituality is also divided into Yin and Yang!
“All living beings have their own spirituality, which is invisible and intangible. It is ever-changing and unpredictable. They are the Yin of spirituality.
“If you subdue your own spirituality, you can gather the Yin of spirituality and form your Heart Image.
“There is also spirituality in the world!
“The spirituality of the world is vast and grand. It has existed since ancient times and has never changed. It’s Yang.
“If you can nurture a spiritual seed and absorb the spirituality of the world, you can form a spiritual image!
“When the Heart Image and the Spiritual Image are combined, you can form a Treasure Image between illusion and reality. You can interfere with matter and produce huge power. You can also open a higher dimension of Spiritual Domain.. From there, you can break free from the restrictions of flesh and blood and obtain endless power!”
