It is said that Bodhidharma was from India. He went through many hardships to spread Buddhism to China. He finally realized the truth and gained profound martial arts by facing the wall in the back mountain of Shaolin Temple for nine years.
He created the unprecedented 72 Shaolin Kung Fu and the four great skills of Bodhidharma, and was an unrivaled master of all time. Then, when he was at Nalanda Temple in India, there was an even better story.
Nalanda Monastery is the supreme temple of Indian Buddhism. Sakyamuni also preached Buddhism here. In terms of martial arts, Nalanda Monastery, which gathers many unique skills such as Mahayana Prajna Palm, Nayun Hand, Dragon Elephant Kung Fu, Ananda Sword, etc., can also represent the highest temple of Indian martial arts. The most fascinating one is definitely the celestial martial arts created by Sakyamuni himself, which transcends the world - Tathagata Palm.
The young Bodhidharma had already shown extraordinary talent when he was in Nalanda Monastery, and was naturally the only candidate to inherit the Tathagata Palm. However, as Bodhidharma was longing for China, in order to prevent the Indian martial arts from flowing into China, the abbot of Nalanda Monastery actually passed the Tathagata Palm to Ryuchi Sanzang, who was far inferior to Bodhidharma.
Liuzhi Sanzang, who was jealous of Bodhidharma, challenged him five times. Unfortunately, even after learning the Tathagata Palm, he was still no match for Bodhidharma. He was defeated by Bodhidharma five times before he repented and returned to India alone.
Although Bodhidharma later developed the Four Great Sacred Skills of Bodhidharma which were not inferior to the Tathagata Palm, he still regretted not being able to learn the Tathagata Palm. So he imitated the Tathagata Palm and developed the Thousand-Hand Tathagata Palm to comfort himself.
At this moment, outside Yanmen Pass.
The Sanskrit chanting continued, and the palm print formed by the true energy shone brightly, illuminating the entire sky with golden light, which was very solemn.
Many soldiers and civilians on the border looked at the peaceful scene here, and rushed to kneel on the ground and worship devoutly.
“The Thousand-Armed Tathagata Palm is indeed a low-profile version of the Tathagata Palm! But…” Zhou Yi looked at the increasingly dense golden light in the sky, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.
Zhou Yi's palms moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye they were already in a position like putting his hands together, as if he was bowing devoutly, with his body slightly bent forward. If someone who was familiar with Buddhism could definitely recognize clearly that the seal Zhou Yi was making at this moment was the immovable fundamental seal!
Then, along with the formation of the Immovable Fundamental Seal, an earth-shattering and powerful move finally slowly appeared in Zhou Yi's hands!
The first thing that appeared was a dazzling and boundless Buddha light. The moment Zhou Yi raised his hand, it was like a shield, covering Zhou Yi. The tyrannical force spread rapidly, stirring up countless flying sand and rocks. The terrifying pressure was far-reaching, as if the majestic gaze of the gods and Buddhas in the upper world was watching.
The moment when Shi Kong on the opposite side saw Zhou Yi forming a hand seal, he could not help but feel a great sense of danger. He widened his eyes and murmured, "This... is..."
The next moment, driven by Zhou Yi's Nine Heavens Sutra power, he continuously drew out the energy of the earth under his feet.
"Boom..."
It was as if huge mountains rose from the earth and then rushed towards the sky. The gray earth aura enveloped the earth. The shadows of the mountains appeared in the earth aura, and then those mountains rose rapidly and rushed straight into the sky. The momentum was surging and fierce, and soon became a tremendous force.
At this moment, even those who are not familiar with martial arts can definitely understand that this powerful move has completely transcended the boundaries of the human world, and its power is so strong that it is simply difficult to measure!
This is the greatest magical skill in Buddhism throughout the ages!
Zhou Yi's slightly upturned mouth corners finally let out a loud shout: "This is the authentic Tathagata Palm!"
"Go ahead! Buddha will move mountains and rivers!"
With Zhou Yi's full concentration, the momentum of Buddha's moving mountains and rivers finally reached its peak! Then Zhou Yi pushed his palms with all his strength, and the boundless mountains gathered around Zhou Yi finally rushed into the sky and headed directly towards the direction where Shikong was. It looked like the Five Finger Mountain used by Tathagata Buddha to suppress Sun Wukong, but this time it was from bottom to top!
This move is the greatest divine palm in the world, the greatest divine skill in Buddhism from ancient times to the present, the third move of "Tathagata Palm" - Buddha moves mountains and rivers!
"boom!"
The endless golden palm prints emitted from Shi Kong's hands instantly collided with the phantoms of mountains that appeared in the air. Many mountains were constantly shattered under the palm prints, but the energy of the earth was still surging.
After one mountain collapsed, several more mountains continued to emerge from the void, as if there was no end.
The scene nearby was so terrifying, and the distance was definitely not safe. The golden light suddenly appeared, and the unprovoked palm wind had already swept across a hundred feet in radius. Anyone with a slightly lower skill level would find that even breathing had become extremely oppressive, and the pain was indescribable!
This is the terrifying aspect of the "Tathagata Palm", the number one magical skill in Buddhism. Even though Zhou Yi was barely able to use the all-encompassing Taoist true energy in the "Nine Heavens Scriptures", not only did it no longer have any Buddha meaning, its power was only half of its original. However, it was still beyond the ability of ordinary people to resist!
"How do you know the Tathagata Palm? This, this is impossible..."
Before Shi Kong could finish his desperate roar, the palm force that could shake mountains and rivers suddenly came! There was no way to dodge, let alone resist. This thunderous blow was like the real shaking of mountains and rivers, with unimaginable gravity. It came straight towards Shi Kong.
In the sky, the boundless palm of the Buddha that moved mountains and rivers suddenly became brighter with golden light, slowly and completely engulfing the figure of Shi Kong. Ren Ya on the side was looking at Shi Kong with great excitement, when suddenly her arm was pinched by Zhou Yi.
At this moment, bright red blood was slowly flowing out of the corners of Zhou Yi's mouth, and hideous bloodshot continued to appear in his pupils. He lowered his voice, as if he was suppressing something in his throat, and made a low sound.
"Let's go! It's too noisy here! Puff..."
Just as he opened his mouth, Zhou Yi finally couldn't suppress the injuries accumulated in his body anymore and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
In the dense forest outside Yanmen Pass, Zhou Yi, under the help of Ren Ya's magic breathing and the miraculous treatment of Jiuhua Yulu Pills, finally calmed down his disordered true energy, and his injuries were recovered by about 60%.
Zhou Yi chose to fight the enemy with Tathagata Palm, seemingly on a whim. He thought that if he used the cracked version of Tathagata Palm controlled by Jiuxiao True Qi against the copycat Tathagata Palm imitated by Bodhidharma - Thousand-Handed Tathagata Palm, he would surely win, right
The result was indeed a win, and the power of the Tathagata Palm was far beyond Zhou Yi's expectations. Is this a big move? This is clearly a cheat, right
Although the move takes a long time to perform, but if it can be performed smoothly, Zhou Yi dares to guarantee that no player he has ever seen can take it. Even the Nine Yang Martial God Yun Chongxiao, Xiaoxiang Pavilion Master Murong Chunqiu, or Heavenly Sword Song Wen are definitely no match for this move!
However, the consumption of this move was far beyond Zhou Yi's expectations. Not only did this move almost drain all of Zhou Yi's internal strength, but it also placed a huge burden on his meridians. This move almost caused Zhou Yi to suffer serious internal injuries.
As a big move, the Third Young Master's "Earth Shattering, Heaven and Earth Burning" is much more conventional than this "Buddha Moving Mountains and Rivers"! Zhou Yi vaguely realized that if he could not practice the "Nine Heavens Sutra" to more than nine chapters, he would never be able to use this "Buddha Moving Mountains and Rivers" as a regular move.
Alas! It seems so far away! (To be continued)
