Buddhist tea, a certain tea of enlightenment that contained holy energy and Daoist principles.
After Alex drank it, the bones all over his body cheered in excitement. It wasn’t only the enlightenment of Buddhist cultivation. Still, the immortal Chi, ancient Buddhist intent, and the energy of Daoist principles greatly enhanced his root bones, making the path of Buddhist cultivation easier for him.
Buddha. One could be a Buddha if the Buddha existed in his mind.
After drinking the Buddhist tea, Alex’s mental strength doubled, and he could see this place more clearly. The surroundings were filled with Buddhist factors, which were absorbed by his body.
He looked at the two rows of bookshelves. He had an eye on that multi-colored scripture at first glance. Upon seeing that book title, Alex shuddered all over. Buddhism Is Initially a Way was surprisingly written on it.
‘Seriously?’
He remembered that it was a novel of some sort!
Could the Grand Bodhisattva have loved reading novels?
However, the moment he picked it up and flipped it open, Alex knew that he had overthought the whole thing. It was not a novel at all but Buddhist enlightenment Buddhism was initially a path. An entirely new system would form when one walked a different path, but the essence remained the same.
Although this book was not some secret manual for cultivation, Alex suddenly felt certain enlightenment. Previously, he was a little resistant to Buddhist cultivation. Through thousands of years, America’s inherent mentality was that Buddhist cultivation was equivalent to becoming a monk and a votarist and would become a bachelor for the rest of his life. However, its essence, the true Buddhist cultivation, that this book pointed out had nothing to do with arty of those.
Those were shackles that mortals put on themselves. Thus, with those shackles, it would be harder for one to become a Buddha.
Buddhism was initially a patch that could change fate by defying natural order, the heart of everything.
After putting down the multi-colored scripture, Alex looked at an ancient book made of the skin of a mythical creature. The moment he touched the creature’s skin, he sensed something. He seemingly saw a dragon soaring above the sea of clouds and looking down its nose at myriads of creatures.
The Boundless Buddhist Creature!
‘What book is this?’
‘There was actually such a title? This is the skin of a mythical creature. It is a dragon’s skin. Moreover, it’s clearly different from other dragons, as if it has a life of its own.’
Alex saw the last book. After Alex flipped it open, he discovered that several golden talismans were stuck inside the book. Those talismans were different from the normal ones. There were no runes and words on them but a mass of indistinct energy that incited a perilous feeling.
‘What… Are these talismans?’
Alex was shocked and hesitant. Finally, he decided to take them away.
He was cautious and well-prepared, with Athena’s shield blocking him. When he reached out, an anomaly occurred. A hand emerged from those few talismans and grabbed Alex’s hand.
“What the…?”
“D*mn! This is really ominous!”
“Let go!”
