The First Volume of Ning Wang's Illegitimate Son Chapter 9: Sudden Enlightenment and Great Enlightenment Buddhist Supernatural Powers
Sudden enlightenment is like Wang Guanlan, who unintentionally read a Buddhist scripture and suddenly had a spiritual awakening, gaining insight into a kind of supernatural power. It sounds unbelievable, but it's true.
Enlightenment is the foundation for Buddhism to take root and grow in China.
Anyone who, with a sincere heart, recites Buddhist scriptures, for as short as ten years or as long as fifty years, will have a great opportunity to attain enlightenment and acquire one of the Buddha's supernatural powers. Even without a sincere heart, if you persist in reciting Buddhist scriptures for more than fifty years, there is still a 50% chance of attaining enlightenment and acquiring one of the Buddha's supernatural powers.
That's just too much!
Fifty years, a very long time in the eyes of ordinary people, almost half a lifetime, but for a cultivator who has achieved success in martial arts, it is not long at all. A cultivator who has reached the fourth layer of Qi refinement will live to be fifty years old, and those who have reached the realm of Air Control will live even longer. For them, spending fifty years persisting in reading scriptures can gain a magical power, which is absolutely a worthwhile thing. To know that ordinary Taoist techniques, even if cultivated to the high level of Qi refinement, can only learn some symbolic methods, compared with magical powers, what's the difference between heaven and earth? If there were no Buddhist magical powers, 99% of martial artists in this world could only expect to gain a magical power by breaking through the ninth layer of Qi refinement in an instant. But how many martial artists can break through the ninth layer of Qi refinement?
A martial artist who enters the seven layers of Qi refinement is one in ten thousand, and breaking through the nine layers of Qi refinement is also one in ten thousand. Calculating this way, among 100 million martial artists, at most only one can comprehend the divine technique. In comparison, the Buddhist divine technique is a shortcut.
Therefore, Buddhism flourishes!
Many warriors, while cultivating martial arts, will also choose a Buddhist scripture to recite. In this way, even if they cannot break through the nine layers of Qi after thirty years, they can still have a divine power by their side. What joy is there in not doing so?
Even many people, from the time they learn to speak, are taught Buddhist scriptures.
Therefore, the Buddha's divine powers greatly flourish!!
Of course, taking shortcuts isn't without its costs. The Buddha's magical powers also have their limitations. It's not just the Buddha's magical powers; all magical powers have this flaw - or rather, it's not a flaw, but a matter of balance. Many people have grasped the Buddha's magical powers, but their own strength hasn't reached the point where they can wield them. Take Wang Guanlan, for example. He suddenly gained enlightenment and mastered a Buddhist magical power, but due to various reasons, he only had the strength of one slash. After that one slash, his internal energy and spirit would be completely drained, leaving him only able to use it as a last resort to save his life. Nevertheless, even so, it's enough to make people flock to him like crazy.
One hundred and eight minor supernatural powers, thirty-six major supernatural powers, nine supreme supernatural powers!
This is the guarantee that Buddhism flourished in China, took root, and was the foundation. After some warriors practiced Buddhist supernatural powers, they found that when combined with Buddhist martial arts, their power increased by threefold. As a result, Buddhist martial arts naturally became popular, forming a virtuous cycle, and Buddhism gradually prospered.
There is no free lunch in the world, and it is impossible for the great power that created the Buddhist supernatural powers to reverse. In the more than 10,000 years of Buddhism's prosperity, the supernatural powers obtained through enlightenment can only be limited to eighteen kinds, and these eighteen small supernatural powers are called the Buddhist guardian gods' supernatural powers.
However, epiphany is different. The divine power that comes from epiphany can be any of the 108 small divine powers, and some heaven-defying guys can even epiphanize one of the 36 major divine powers. Of course, this matter of epiphanizing a major divine power has also been passed down from Buddhism, but its authenticity is unknown.
Moreover, compared to gradual enlightenment, the divine powers that emerge from sudden enlightenment have an advantage, which is that a single sudden enlightenment can make one thoroughly understand a divine power.
The divine powers obtained through gradual enlightenment are just learned, and to fully grasp and understand the true subtleties within them, time is needed to hone them. On the other hand, sudden enlightenment directly understands all the subtleties of divine powers, only requiring time to become familiar with them.
Therefore, the enlightenment of sudden awakening is much more difficult and valuable than that of gradual awakening. In the past century, there have been only a few people who have achieved the enlightenment of sudden awakening in Buddhism, and except for those who fell halfway, all the others have achieved great success.
Now Wang Guanlan suddenly realized a Buddhist magical power, without saying anything else, at least his status in the Ning Wangfu will be greatly improved, becoming one of the most important princes except for several sons, this point, from today's martial arts people can clearly see who is.
Sudden enlightenment of Buddha's gate and magical powers are related to the way of the sword!
Among the 108 minor spiritual powers related to knife skills, there are five kinds: Jin Gang Fu Mo Dao, Pu Ti Zhen Fa Dao, Jin Peng Zhan Chi Dao, Da A Xiu Luo Dao and Di Zang Ben Yuan Dao. Among them, Jin Gang Fu Mo Dao is one of the eighteen Buddhist guardian gods' spiritual powers, which is the most common knife skill spiritual power. Pu Ti Zhen Fa Dao belongs to the secret transmission of Buddhism, and has always been a secret that is not passed on in major Buddhist sects. Jin Peng Zhan Chi Dao is a spiritual power that can only be understood by those demonic tribes who have converted to Buddhism. Da A Xiu Luo Dao appears every time there is a killing opportunity, and those who can comprehend it are all ruthless and bloodthirsty individuals with bloody hands, even within the Buddhist community, it is considered a taboo.
Bodhi Town's Law Knife, Wang Guanlan suddenly realized that the magical power must be Bodhi Town's Law Knife!
Almost everyone judges so at this moment, and the opportunity for Daxiu Knife and Golden Peng to comprehend is extremely rare. The Vajra Demon-subduing Knife is a Buddhist guardian deity technique, and there are not many people in the world who understand it. If placed elsewhere, it might still be considered unusual, and being able to comprehend this deity technique would also make one a good seedling. However, in the Ning Wang Fu, it is not worth such emphasis, because among the temples supported by the Ning Wang Fu, there is an abbot and three monks who understand this deity technique. In this case, the most likely possibility is only the Bodhi Law-subduing Knife.
The Buddha's town law knife does not belong to the eighteen kinds of guardian gods, but belongs to the secret transmission of Buddhist magic. There are only two ways to obtain this secret transmission magic: one is like ordinary magic, getting the secret transmission method through cultivation, and the other is sudden enlightenment, like Wang Guanlan who obtained this method through sudden enlightenment, in others' imagination, this is the greatest possibility for Wang Guanlan to obtain.
Why can't it be the Ksitigarbha's Vow Sword?
Please, this Earth Hidden Scripture and the Great Wrathful Wisdom King Sword are known as the two greatest killing tools in Buddhism. Let alone ordinary people, even the Dari Rulai Temple, which is currently considered the number one temple in Buddhism, does not have this inheritance. For three thousand years, Buddhist spiritual powers have been spreading, but no one has ever been able to comprehend this small spiritual power through enlightenment or sudden realization, so naturally, Wang Guanlan also cannot.
This uncle just said that he had realized a small magical power, and did not say which kind of magical power, so others would naturally not think in this direction.

Ningwang Mansion, Sanxitang Hall
This is a rustic and elegant place, with green pines surrounding the hall, moss growing on the steps, and a pond behind the hall. However, it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time, making it look somewhat dilapidated.
Wang Guanlan followed behind Miao Shu, walking on the gravel path, his eyes wandering around, he had a strong curiosity about this place.
For a bastard like him, there were many places in Ning Wang Fu that he had never been to, and San Xi Tang was one of them.
The Sanxitang Hall of the Ningwang Mansion is not a secret to the people in the mansion, on the contrary, it is a very famous place in the mansion. When Ning Wang Wang Bicheng was still the crown prince, he lived here, but that was already decades ago.
Wang Bizheng, although the eldest son of the previous Ning Wang, had a difficult childhood. This small Sanxitang was no better than the small courtyard where Wang Guanlan and her mother lived now.
After inheriting the throne of Ning Wang, Wang Bizheng naturally moved to the middle house of the palace. However, perhaps due to habit or nostalgia, although Wang Bizheng moved into the middle house, he still spent most of his time in Sanxitang Hall. The middle house was just a place for him to handle official business or an office, where face-saving matters were handled, while private and important matters were all completed in Sanxitang Hall.
It was precisely because of this that the place had already become one of the most important places in the palace, and Wang Guanlan, a low-ranking concubine son, would naturally not have many opportunities to enter this place.
But today he came.
"Long live the king!!" Wang Guanlan had a deep impression of Wang Bizheng, but all these impressions came from his previous memory. In this body with a new soul, he didn't have a good impression or feeling towards this cheap old dad, because he had never seen him before.
"It seems I've always underestimated you!" Wang Bizheng, sitting in an old armchair, was also observing his son, "Your performance has surprised me!"
Wang Guanlan slightly raised an eyebrow and said, "You've read too many books, you can't help but be a bit impulsive when doing things!"
"This is indeed interesting, having read many books, one should be more calm and composed!"
"Reading books and understanding principles, when encountering things that don't conform to rules and regulations, one naturally wants to correct them. When meeting people who don't follow the rules, one naturally wants to teach them a lesson!" Wang Guanlan replied calmly.
"Oh, that's a new one, but it's passable. However, what you did today, is it justified? You've wrongfully killed someone!"
"Wrongful death?!" Wang Guanlan furrowed his brow, "The fate of that fool is for the family law to decide, and has nothing to do with me!"
"Do you know he is the son of the Four Families?!"
"As long as he's not your son, he's just a servant. The life and death of a servant wouldn't disturb the king!" Wang Guan said calmly, "Besides, the Fourth Master should also know his place!"
"When the water is clear, there are no fish; with such a large royal palace, it's not unusual to have one or two who don't follow the rules!"
"Even if the lower-ranking servants in the mansion don't follow the rules, he should still follow them. Otherwise, wouldn't the position of housekeeper in the Wang mansion be too ridiculous?"
