Otaku Witch
Chapter 1054 - 1054: 626. Hyakki Buddhist Dharma_2

The general idea is that power itself isn't inherently good or evil; it depends on how you use it.

Because of this, even though this is an extremely profound Buddhist teaching, it is quite difficult to practice. It's even harder than the eighty-one hardships, requiring the cultivator to first become the Hyakki, then bear the Hyakki, redeem the Hyakki, and finally gather the Power of Hyakki to achieve the Buddha's True Body and attain the Buddha's Fruit Position.

Furthermore, as Dorothy read through the entire Buddhist teaching, she only felt that this method was extremely sinister; the words between the lines seem to write four characters—consume people to foster gu.

Although it appears to be the orthodox Buddhist law, upon deeper reflection, where do you find the Hyakki?

Hmm, naturally, you have to raise the Hyakki first, and only then can you bear the Hyakki and redeem the Hyakki.

To achieve a Buddha, it's feared one must first forge countless sufferings and tragedies, using all beings to foster Hyakki, then using Hyakki to forge the Buddha's body.

Just goes to show that it truly deserves to be a method of the Demon Buddha lineage; it's truly sinister enough.

Although the myriad words transformed from the Slick Ghost are quite obscure and difficult to understand, Dorothy saw through the entire truth of this Demon Buddhism at a glance.

Subsequently, the homebody witch thought of more.

It's known that this Demon Buddhism is practiced by all the witches on Japan Island, where nearly every Japanese Witch is a ready-made Hyakki Witch, and their evolutionary spectrum is precisely the Hyakki templates in the Night Parade of Hyakki.

And since the Hyakki are already there, it seems they're just waiting for a fated person to redeem all the Hyakki, hence forging the body of the Buddha, this...

Dorothy suddenly felt somewhat creepy.

My goodness, it seems this problem on Japan Island is significant, no wonder it alarmed my Good Sister.

But....

"So why did I only summon such a Freeloader Ghost? Does this Buddhist teaching look down on my dark thoughts?"

The homebody witch thought for a long time, and finally, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Among the Hyakki, there are many demons that put on airs, like the Phoenix Fire, Unseen Fire, Candle Yin, and such. Why couldn't she evolve these, just because she freeloaded a meal today doesn't mean she should be predetermined as a Slick Ghost.

It's known that the full capability of this Slick Ghost, which is all about posturing for a free ride, is merely at the level of small fry among the Hyakki, incomparable to the strength of great demons like Shuten Douji, Tamamo-no-Mae, and the Great Tengu.

They are all SSR, this Slick Ghost at most only qualifies as an R, only a bit stronger than cannon fodder like the Broom God or Lantern Ghost.

Dorothy was a bit dejected.

Alright, Miss Aoandon's previous evaluation was indeed correct; her cultivation talent really isn't that good. No wonder the inheritances of those powerful demons don't take notice of her at all.

But then again, as a low-desire homebody, she indeed lacks sufficient dark thoughts to attract those powerful demon inheritances.

Generally, it's only those with tragic backgrounds and tumultuous stories who transform into great demons. Yet Dorothy, with her character wanting nothing more than to lie down and go with the flow after being well-fed and hydrated every day, even if she were to hang herself in red clothes at midnight it would be difficult for her to transform into an Evil Ghost, her resentment and malice power truly aren't enough.

The optimism of the homebody invoked again, and the homebody witch quickly came to terms with reality.

"Hmph, never mind, a small ghost is just a small ghost, anyway my Inspiration will step up, give me a foundation and I can create a system."

Dorothy was satisfied, although the Slick Ghost's inheritance was somewhat weak, at least the basic Buddhist framework was already complete, enough for her to glimpse the whole panther through a tube, and use it as a reference, she could contemplate more when free.

This Slick Ghost's heritage content is mainly divided into two parts.

One part is the demon art section called "Master of Spirits and Demons", and the other is the Buddhist section named "Six Paramitas".

Don't be fooled by the awe-inspiring title of "Master of Spirits and Demons", as essentially, it's just painting a big picture, a scam exploiting the tiger's might, its effect is merely to make others more likely to believe you are a decent person, a big shot, to give you face and not immediately resort to violence.

Yes indeed, it's a freeloader divine skill, after all, the greatest fear of Freeloading is encountering a reckless person who doesn't give you a chance to dazzle them with wit, and straightaway gives you a punch, that would indeed be unfortunate.

Though a rather weak demon art, the Eastern Immortal Technique structure within gave Dorothy plenty of Spell Inspiration, she considered that this demon art structure might be used to improve her Akari Technique or Still Water, Clear Mirror Technique.

As for the Buddhist section named "Six Paramitas", it is genuinely the proper Buddhist wonderwork, a genuine Path of the Bodhisattva.

Even if you choose not to practice the dangerous Hyakki Fat, and only cultivate the Six Paramitas, by the time you achieve Great Achievement in divine power, you can also achieve the Bodhisattva Rank, which in the Western Universe translates to the Peak Boundary.

However, compared to the quick-success Hyakki technique, practicing the Six Paramitas appears slightly dull and tedious, and progresses slowly.

The Six Paramitas, also known as the Six Perfections, broadly summarize the aspects of Bodhisattva cultivation into six practices: Dana Paramita (the perfection of generosity), Sila Paramita (the perfection of morality), Ksanti Paramita (the perfection of patience), Virya Paramita (the perfection of energy), Dhyana Paramita (the perfection of meditation), and Prajna Paramita (the perfection of wisdom).

Under the six practices are further subdivisions, such as Dana divided into the generosity of material goods, fearlessness, and the law.

Overall, it's quite obscure, intricate, and tedious.

If it were a normal witch, upon receiving this demon inheritance, she would certainly be more interested in the Hyakki technique, and would have little interest in the complex and tedious Buddhist paths of the Six Paramitas.

But Dorothy knew that this seemingly boring and dull Buddhist teaching is the true core of the Hyakki technique, the very foundation of bearing the Hyakki and redeeming them later on.

After carefully studying these obscure and mysterious Buddhist scriptures, she was contemplative.

"Emmmm..... that's it?"

She now truly suspected her own cultivation qualifications.

Logically speaking, the Six Paramitas should be very challenging to cultivate, requiring years of accumulated cultivation to achieve success, yet she attempted and found it excessively simple, as soon as she started, though due to the Western Universe's lack of Spiritual Power, she failed to manifest Buddhist Mana, her cultivation realm felt close to attaining the Bodhisattva Rank.

Hmm, the first five practices of the Six Paramitas all aim at achieving Prajna Paramita, the last of them.

Prajna, which means wisdom in the Buddhist language.

Achieving Prajna means enlightenment beyond mortals, possessing superhuman wisdom, able to observe the rules of all things, understand the truths of the world, essentially being a Bodhisattva, and when cultivation is complete, ready to attain the Buddha's Fruit Position.

No matter how you think about it, this should be very difficult, yet Dorothy truly felt it was very easy, as she pondered, Buddha Light already seemed to shimmer at the back of her head, a great sun nearly rose, hung behind her.

"Something's wrong, I must be cultivating wrong, this shouldn't be this easy, if it were, wouldn't the world be full of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas? This is very wrong, I fear I might be on the brink of going mad."

Dorothy was slightly panicked, the Buddha Light was not shining on her either, her Good Sister had told her outright that her cultivation Talent was really not up to par, so if now things feel this easy for her, how is not everyone else already a Bodhisattva or Buddha?

Knowing this, she promptly stopped her cultivation and gently detached herself, and decided, let's see how it all turns out during the Hyakki Festival.

That's what Dorothy thought in her heart.
