Manichean Tample

On the Nine Continents, there were eight big sects that were the most famous and with the deepest foundation.

Among the eight big sects, the strongest was the Manichean Temple. The seven other big sects each control a prefecture and only the Manichean Temple controls two. Located in the west of the Nine Prefectures, its sphere of influence was the southwest Rongzhou as well as Liangzhou in the west.

Manichean Temple was also the only Buddhism Sect amongst the eight big sects and had over several thousand years of history. The Buddism Sect had absolute authority in Rongzhou and Liangzhou.

Among the eight great sects of the Nine Prefectures, the practice methods of the other seven sects were Training Vitality into Qi and the Unity of Spirit. They would try to use it as a means to reach the realm of Qi, then into Spirit, before entering the innate realm. This was the most used practicing method in all of the Nine Continents.

However the cultivation of the Buddhism Sect was completely different. They cultivated from the three pulses and seven meridians, and the practice of finding one’s true self in order achieve Sarīra, later become Arhat. Among the great masters of the Buddhism Sect, those who can achieve Sarīra would be called Arhat, and they were the equivalent of innate experts.

The cultivation of the Buddha Sect had the uniqueness of Buddhism. Because the human body was limited by the world, and life would always, at one point, come to an end, masters of Buddhism who had reached an inconceivable boundary before the death could make their soul stay unenlightened and get reincarnated as a living Buddha, retaining all their previous memories. If he were a living buddha, then being able to put forth this level of spear technique would not be strange.
