Chapter 245 Brain Domain Development, An Outcome!
```
"finally succeeded!"
at the dharma king monastery, in gion, su heng's gaze was profound as he slowly opened his eyes, gradually emerging from a deep meditative state.
his face bore an expression of weariness as he exhaled a mouthful of stale air.
looking up at the bright moonlight outside the window, su heng massaged his temples, which made him feel somewhat better.
"tathagata's treasury, this scripture is harder than any cultivation technique i've ever practiced," su heng murmured to himself.
on the one hand, the cultivation methods of the heavenly deceit realm are inherently difficult, and the tathagata's treasury is among the best of them. on the other hand, su heng lacked a foundation in esoteric sect's cultivation, and trying to comprehend it without this was like building a pavilion in the sky, naturally a tremendous challenge.
"but now..."
su heng looked at the line of text that appeared on his attribute panel and cracked a smile.
with his own panel updated, what to do next was a domain all too familiar to su heng.
"panel, assign my points!"
from the golden crow secret store until now, the tens of thousands of attribute points accumulated.
at this moment, they all poured into the tathagata's treasury, causing a storm to rise in su heng's consciousness. with each passing moment, countless thoughts were born and extinguished. washed by these tumultuous thoughts, su heng's spiritual potential was gradually unlocked.
his eyes shimmered with a hazy light, his mind crystal clear.
a halo even appeared behind his head, his demeanor serene, resembling an enlightened monk with a newfound understanding, his aura as tranquil as smoke.
su heng noted that his breathing had slowed, and the sound of his heart beating was heavy and distinct.
in fact, he had not intentionally slowed his breathing. rather, his perceptions had become sharper, and his thought processes quicker. such rapid enhancement, backed by his attribute panel, was too much for su heng to adjust to at once, hence producing an illusion that the flow of time had slowed.
"this is the heavenly deceit realm indeed, truly intriguing," su heng thought to himself, looking toward the window.
in the moonlight, he could clearly see numerous tiny dust particles suspended in the air. with his heightened senses, su heng's thinking was unbelievably fast. the particles simply floated without movement, as if someone had pressed a button to halt time itself around the whole world.
activating these enhanced senses was not without cost.
on one hand, it involved the intense consumption of spiritual power, which wasn't much of a concern since su heng's own spiritual potential was already immense, and he had the support of a top-tier secret technique such as the tathagata's treasury.
maintaining this heightened perception would not be easily deployed by a regular heavenly deceit practitioner, as it was one of their ace skills in reserve. but for su heng, it was nothing significant; he could even use it as a passive skill for prolonged periods.
the key issue lay in the second point: within the realm of heightened senses, many strange and inexplicable hallucinations appeared.
in su heng's field of vision, an uncontrollable distortion began to take hold. the sound of children's laughter echoed, everything seeming at a standstill, the laughter having a peculiar eeriness to it. bloody handprints appeared on the courtyard walls, and in the shadows, the figure of a woman in white, stained with blood, flashed by.
"this is..."
as su heng delved deeper into his super-sensory perception.
the strange illusions grew more numerous, eventually swarming and clustering like a tide of blood, entirely filling his vision.
bang!
there was a slight pain at su heng's brow.
he was pushed out from the heavenly deceit's unique enhanced perception, and the moonlight outside remained the same.
but the harrowing afterimages that had filled his sight a moment ago vanished completely, and all returned to calm. su heng's chest rose and fell, and after several deep breaths, he calmed down. he squinted his eyes and reached for his forehead, finding a thin layer of sweat on his fingertips.

and in the instant su heng's words fell—boom!
an overwhelmingly fierce surge of energy swept past, directly upending the entire gion. the blood-red moonlight poured down, and the accumulated pages of various books all flew into mid-air, scattering about as if they were large snowflakes falling in the harsh winter season.
but su heng's gaze passed directly over these fluttering leaves and landed in the distance.
it was on an ancient and flourishing bodhi tree.
at that moment, a tall figure in a golden monk's robe stood erect.
though hairless, his skin was fair, and his features extremely handsome, arguably the most beautiful person su heng had ever seen in his lifetime. especially with the gentle golden halo suspended behind him, highlighting the monk's serene and ethereal temperament, as if a celestial being had descended, commanding worship.
"who are you?" su heng's brows frowned. the monk looked young and peaceful. but the power and momentum emanating from him was exceedingly ferocious, like a volcano on the verge of eruption. a huge shadow rose behind him, covering the sky and blocking the sun.
the gion has always been a sacred place for the dharma king temple, guarded by earth's veins, standing unruined for a thousand years, yet it was directly slapped into the sky by the monk.
it must be known that not long ago, cultivators at the third step of heavenly deceit, like da xutuo and he xingyun, couldn't even step into it.
this monk, almost without thinking, must be an existence beyond heavenly deceit. moreover, with an ancient heritage, he was one of the best among them, displaying his strength without restraint, treating su heng as an ant.
"i am the ancient buddha kasyapa," the monk spoke, looking very young, but his eyes were filled with the weight of ages as he revealed his origin.
"ancient buddha kasyapa..." su heng's brow furrowed slightly, "i think i've heard this name before."
the third mighty monarch of the great zhou dynasty had ambitious aspirations. at the beginning of the founding of the country, he did not hesitate to send troops to conquer skull plain, but ultimately, they returned without success and suffered heavy losses.
deep within the skull plain lay great terrors, but that was only one of the reasons.
the second reason was that in that era, skull plain also suppressed all top-tier strong figures, among which was ancient buddha kasyapa. but these events took place a thousand years ago and were legends recorded in ancient books. how could he be appearing before su heng?
was this a title that could be passed down, or was it...
"no need to ponder further, i am indeed the same ancient buddha kasyapa who swept through armies a thousand years ago, safeguarding a pure land," the monk seemed to guess su heng's thoughts and spoke coldly, "the younger generation is incompetent, performing thrice prostrations and nine bows, calling upon my true name."
"i have come from across the bitter sea, and today i should have decapitated you, skinned and deboned you, pulverized your flesh and suppressed your soul, condemning you to an eternity of never transcending. but out of the buddha's compassion, i spare you a thread of life."
ancient buddha kasyapa's eyes widened ferociously as he took on the stance of vajrayana subduing demons. he roared like rolling thunder, "will you not hurry and kneel to thank buddha's grace? lay down your butcher's knife and follow me into the life of a monk!"
roar!
his roar was laced with the spirit secret technique.
the air filled with buddhist chants, and an immense spiritual force turned into golden waves, sweeping across the void, furiously pouncing towards the tianling of su heng.
it aimed to forcefully erase his senses, twist his consciousness, and turn him into a puppet, an extremely vicious buddhist secret technique. for the mighty, it was even more despicable than dying at his hands.
"god or buddha! regardless of your prestige, how dare you behave recklessly in front of me, there's only one outcome," su heng took a deep breath, his face becoming colder. ancient buddha kasyapa's spirit secret technique was formidable, but useless against him, for his spiritual foundation was profound, and now he had even unearthed it, stepping into the heavenly deceit realm.
"that is, death!!!"
boom!
su heng let out a long howl, his hair flying wildly, and then he threw out a punch forward, furiously bombarding it.
"my vajra demon crossing divine skill is useless against this person, how is that possible!?" ancient buddha kasyapa was astonished but had no time to ponder.
as su heng's punch was thrown, it carried a mountainous torrent-like immense force. the whole square trembled with a buzzing sound, cracks spreading, with dark lightning flashing wildly in the sky, and yin winds howling, exaggeratedly as if it were the end of the world. feeling the dominating authority contained within, ancient buddha kasyapa's face was grim, and his complexion utterly changed!
