《Eternal Sacred King》Chapter 788: Great Day Rulai Sutra
Advertisement
The Golden Core Phenomenon Ranking this time round was different from the past.
More than half the cultivators on the ranking had died.
Apart from some weapons and cultivation techniques as rewards, the remaining cultivators obtained many Soul Nourishing Blood Ginseng as well.
It was a necessary expendable item after they advanced to the Nascent Soul and cultivated their Essence Spirits.
A moment later, Su Zimo, Ming Zhen, Pang Yue and the other cultivators in the top ten of the Phenomenon Ranking arrived at the foot of the Myriad Phenomenon Peak.
Perfected Lord Yu Jun took a deep breath and conjured multiple hand seals before tapping his glabella gently with his forefinger.
His glabella shone and a ray of his spirit consciousness shot forward onto the Ancient Phenomenon Stele.
Boom!
The ancient stele vibrated violently as though it was about to be uprooted!
Immediately after, the Ancient Phenomenon Stele emitted rays of light that scattered onto Su Zimo and the others; it was musky and hazy.
It was a curious sensation.
Su Zimo felt as though the Ancient Phenomenon Stele was alive!
It was as though a life was awakened within the ancient stele and it was staring at him.
A mysterious power cruised through every single corner of his body like a stream of water. It was gentle and calm – the life seemed as though it wanted to see through everything there was to Su Zimo!
The other few people experienced the same sensation.
However, not long after, the light on Ming Zhen and the others dissipated. Thereafter, one or two items that glowed brightly would appear above their heads.
An ancient lantern with a bronze green shade hovered over Ming Zhen’s head.
The flame within the lantern was extinguished and yet, the lantern’s body shone with a mysterious glow.
A yellow scroll was beside the ancient lantern.
Green Lantern Yellow Scroll!
The yellow scroll was a cultivation technique secret skill, but nobody could see its contents and what grade it was.
However, six Dharmic patterns could faintly be seen on the green lantern!
It was a connate Dharmic weapon!
Many cultivators gripped their fists tightly with fervent gazes.

Everyone was moved by the appearance of a connate Dharmic weapon!
However, everyone knew that none of them was a match for Ming Zhen the young monk despite his unassuming appearance!
Right now, he was a part of Dapamkara Monastery and was protected by Monk Yin Lu.
Furthermore, he was also someone on Su Zimo’s side.
Even without those, Ming Zhen’s strength was enough to shock everyone present.
“Well, well, well!”
Monk Yin Lu nodded repeatedly.
The green lantern was just right for Ming Zhen and the yellow scroll seemed like it was an extraordinary item as well!
A long blade with a sheath appeared above Dugu Jian’s head and a manual of a sword technique.
The handle and sheath of the sword were both pitch-black.
If one did not focus their gaze, they might mistake it to be a black rod.
“It seems like there are six Dharmic patterns?”
“Indeed, it’s another connate Dharmic weapon!”
“The rewards for the Phenomenon Ranking this time round are way too awesome! There are two connate Dharmic weapons already!”
In the previous Phenomenon Rankings, it was already quite amazing if there was a single connate Dharmic weapon among the rewards.
“Hurry, take a look at that gigantic spear above Pang Yue’s head!”
“Huh? It’s another connate Dharmic weapon!”
Unlike Ming Zhen and Dugu Jian, Pang Yue’s rewards did not include any cultivation technique or secret skill – there was only a single weapon.
Even so, it was enough for outsiders to be envious.
“Hahahaha!”
Pang Yue burst into laughter and reached out to grab the gigantic spear above his head.
His figure sank the moment he caught the gigantic spear.
It was heavy!
The gigantic spear was around thirty feet long and the tip of its spear was two-pronged and shone with a cold glint.
Mysterious patterns were etched on the body of the spear and it blended well with the spear tip to give off a domineering aura!
For ordinary cultivators, it would be impossible to utilize a gigantic spear that was this clumsy and heavy; it was only suitable for a cultivator that was as muscular and massive as Pang Yue.

Many cultivators turned towards Su Zimo instinctively after the birth of three connate Dharmic weapons.
“Eh? Strange.”
“Why hasn’t the light on Su Zimo’s body dissipated?”
Su Zimo’s eyes were tightly shut and he was motionless.
The ‘water current’ from the Ancient Phenomenon Stele washed through his body time and again.
Su Zimo had a feeling that the life within the Ancient Phenomenon Stele seemed to be trying its best to scan his body and uncover his secrets, but it could not do it!
An unknown period of time passed.
Finally, the light on Su Zimo’s body dissipated gradually.
Two items hovered above his head as well.
However, both of them seemed antiquated and did not glow at all.
One of them was an ancient book.
It should be a cultivation technique or secret skill but nobody could tell.
The other was a bare green lotus platform that was incomparably dark without any patterns. It was so battered that nobody would bother to pick it up if it was thrown at the side of a road.
“What are those?”
“I’ve got no idea. They have no Dharmic patterns either so they must be trash.”
“The rewards for the Phenomenon Ranking this time round have already been extraordinary with the birth of three connate Dharmic weapons. There can’t be any other good things appearing.”
“Su Zimo’s luck sure is pathetic.”
Many cultivators discussed softly.
“That doesn’t make sense,”
Lin Xuanji glared at the two items that hovered in midair and frowned, murmuring slightly, “This lad managed to take away quite a bit of the dragon vein back in the Astral Dragon Sputum Lair and he is imbued with great fortune. This shouldn’t be the case, right?”
“Could that cultivation technique be way too shocking?”
Out of curiosity, Lin Xuanji headed forward and asked softly, “What is that cultivation technique?”
Su Zimo retrieved the ancient book from midair and flipped it open gently. Four words were written on the first page – Great Day Rulai Sutra!
Lin Xuanji was stunned when he saw the four words.
Su Zimo’s pupils constricted slightly.
As the current generation’s successor of Enigma Palace, Lin Xuanji had a vast knowledge of things and naturally knew the origin of that cultivation technique.
Su Zimo resided at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley for 20 years and learned the skills of Fahua and Daming Monasteries. Furthermore, he recited sutras, paid respect to Buddha and comprehended Zen daily. As such, he knew quite a lot of things about the Buddhist monasteries as well.
In the ancient era when the path of cultivation was first civilized, the Buddhist monasteries were not part of the major factions that they were known as today.
The Great Day Rulai Sutra was a mystic classic of the Buddhist monasteries back in the ancient era and was a heaven-grade cultivation technique for refining one’s spirit.
It was said that when cultivated to its peak, this cultivation technique could create the supreme Dharma Characteristic of the Buddhist monasteries, the Rulai Dharmic Body!
A single arm raise could destroy the world and subdue fiends!
Su Zimo put the mystic classic of the Buddhist monasteries away in his storage bag without emotions.
Even if any other heaven-grade cultivation techniques were revealed, many cultivators would covet them, let alone the Great Day Rulai Sutra.
Right now, coupled with the Purple Thunder Manual that was in his storage bag, Su Zimo possessed two heaven-grade cultivation techniques meant for spirit refinement.
Given such conditions, the progression of his cultivation path would require much less effort after he advanced to the Nascent Soul realm!
Su Zimo raised his head and looked at the battered green lotus platform in midair with furrowed brows.
He was the number one of the Phenomenon Ranking – there was no way the Ancient Phenomenon Stele was going to give him any casual trash item.
However, he could not tell what was special about that green lotus platform.
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he turned towards the three Nascent Souls who were not far away.
Perfected Lord Yu Jun turned to look at Monk Yin Lu beside him and asked deeply, “If I’m not wrong, this green lotus platform should be that legendary object, right?”
“It should be,”
Monk Yin Lu had a stern expression as he nodded.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.

Welcome to the Upward Bound System, V.3
They say third times the charm. With every iteration we improve. When the System came to Earth, it changed everything. It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike. What had once been fantasy was now a reality. People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest.

All it asked of them was for their help. Help with what though? The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard. On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary. That this was the day everything changed. Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world. However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, the Tutorial. (Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.) A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find. Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system. Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!... With the system's arrival so too does great danger come... The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system... Please note, I don't own the art.
