Chapter 003: The Mind of Alaya-Vijñāna

Alaya consciousness, also known as Alaraya consciousness, Aliraya consciousness, or Alaraya consciousness, can also be referred to as the eighth consciousness, original consciousness, or dwelling consciousness. It is the eighth consciousness mentioned in the "Eight Consciousnesses" of the Yogācāra school of Buddhist philosophy. It is a synthesis of the true nature and the deluded mind, serving as the repository for all seeds of good and evil.

Moments later, Qin Huang had already made a decision

The "Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana" also explains: "The mind that arises and ceases depends on the Tathāgatagarbha, hence there is a mind of birth and cessation. The so-called non-arising and non-ceasing, when combined with arising and ceasing, is neither one nor different, and is called the Alaya consciousness. This consciousness has two meanings: it can encompass all phenomena and give rise to all phenomena."

After finishing off fifteen bottles of nutritional supplements, the feeling of hunger in my body finally subsided temporarily. However, the energy provided by this amount of food is simply insufficient to restart the optimization and transformation program of the intelligence brain.

The intelligent core possesses a vast array of cultivation techniques, all of which are the treasured essence from the prosperous period of the Star Abyss Alliance, allowing him to choose freely.

Qin Huang's beautifully shaped eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her dark eyes scanned the room. Aside from these two bottles of nutritional supplements in the desk drawer, it seemed there was nothing else edible to be found.

Your requested goods and illustrations have arrived, please inspect them! it said routinely

At the end of the final battle, the human home planet Earth was conquered by the golden caliphs of the Vorotikol Empire, and the core of the strategic intelligence brain was lost without a trace. Unexpectedly, it appeared on this remote planet and, by a stroke of luck, was ultimately obtained by Qin Huang

Certainly, this issue is not without a solution. He stepped outside and took a stroll, and when he returned a few minutes later, he was holding more than ten bottles of organic nutrients, having completely depleted the stock of the Wu brothers.

A thousand years ago, in the protracted war between the Star Abyss Alliance and the alien intelligent civilization of the Vroltykor Empire, a victor was finally determined. Due to certain reasons that cannot be disclosed to outsiders, human civilization unfortunately suffered defeat, ultimately leading to the collapse of the Alliance's regime. All territories, including the Milky Way and numerous other star systems, along with billions of human subjects, fell under the dominion and servitude of this alien empire

Only a small number of human elites escaped and reestablished refuge settlements in certain remote star systems in the universe

After nearly a thousand years of development, with the assistance of certain friendly intelligent races in the starry sea, human civilization has finally regained a considerable amount of vitality. Although it is still far from the peak period of its former glory, at least there is no longer the concern of extinction or annihilation.

A student who is only fifteen years old, without any distinguished family background or exceptional business acumen, how could they possibly accumulate sufficient resources in a short period to enhance themselves

An indescribable hunger surged over him, and Qin Huang nimbly rolled out of bed. He took two bottles of organic nutrients from the drawer by the bedside, unscrewed the caps, and gulped them down, but it only provided slight relief.

Those who can become mobile suit pilots are undoubtedly true elites, and those who aspire to reach the pinnacle of this path, joining the ranks of high-level mech warriors, are even more exceptional individuals, rare as a phoenix among a thousand. The training resources they enjoy are naturally incomparable to ordinary goods.

However, since I have obtained the high-level power inheritance of the empire, I have the obligation to grow as quickly as possible. Therefore, it is only natural to selectively learn some necessary knowledge

One hour later, this spiritual cultivation secret method titled "Alaya Consciousness" has been firmly memorized by him, fully understood in his heart

Moments later, a vast amount of information flooded into Qin Huang's mind, with content related to mechas accounting for more than half of it, overwhelming him to the point where it felt as if his brain might explode

A slight pain pierced his mind as a large volume of information surged in. Qin Huang felt a subtle chill in his spirit and began to calmly comprehend the data transmitted by the intelligent brain.

However, this was still not enough. Qin Huang thought for a moment, opened the holographic device on his wrist, and ordered four boxes from the school's internal supermarket, causing the numbers in his account to instantly drop to zero. As for the money that Muliya had given him, he would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

The comprehensive optimization and transformation of the body requires a substantial amount of advanced resources. Unfortunately, I do not currently possess such conditions, and therefore cannot consider it for the time being. However, I can begin to cultivate some necessary abilities to lay a foundation for rapid growth in the future, Qin Huang contemplated in his heart

These two sets of cultivation methods focus on the internal and external aspects respectively, both being the highest secrets of that super empire, exclusively belonging to the strategic forces of the alliance— the cultivation techniques of the top-tier mobile warriors. Those of slightly lower rank are not destined to encounter them

Indeed, the cultivation method that Qin Huang has obtained is not entirely derived from ancient Buddhist scriptures. Rather, it is a treasure that resulted from the collaboration between the former Alliance Academy of Sciences and the military, which expended unimaginable human and material resources over several hundred years of research, analysis, and continuous improvement. This method fundamentally stimulates human genetic potential, enhances the essence of life, and enables practitioners to undergo a transformative evolution.

After confirming that everything was correct, he moved all the boxes into his room

Qin Huang opened the box, revealing forty neatly arranged light blue exquisite metal bottles inside, each adorned with a simple and clear label, all of which contained military-grade high-concentration organic nutrients

Although this thing belongs to the supreme secret method, achieving any success requires a substantial amount of high-level resources for support, and the database of the intelligent brain does not contain any methods that can assist Qin Huang in making money

In addition, another work titled "The Battle Emperor's Star Destruction Technique" is also the essence of the peak martial power of the Star Abyss Alliance, renowned alongside the "Alaya Consciousness Mind Method." Both are cultivation methods exclusive to top-tier powerhouses. However, the latter focuses on enhancing the cultivator's own abilities and elevating the essence of life, while the former is specifically designed for battlefield combat and enemy elimination techniques, boasting unparalleled destructive power, claimed to be the strongest in the alliance, with no equal.

Due to the short distance, just over ten minutes later, the doorbell of the dormitory suite rang, and a cartoonishly designed smart robot porter stood at the door holding four light blue boxes

When he woke up, he found that several hours had already passed.

Regrettably, the core consciousness of the intelligent brain that Qin Huang encountered has already perished, leaving only the most basic functions of information retrieval and storage. The repair and optimization of his body have consumed the last bit of reserve energy. At present, it is essentially no different from an ordinary optical brain, except that the data stored is considerably more extensive.

The "Mahāyāna Secret Profound Sutra" states: "The Alaya consciousness of all sentient beings is originally complete and pure, transcending the worldly realm and akin to Nirvana. It is like the bright moon appearing over all lands; people in the world perceive it as waxing and waning, yet the essence of the moon never increases or decreases. The store consciousness is likewise present universally within all sentient beings, its nature is always round and pure, neither increasing nor decreasing."

In Buddhist doctrine, this consciousness is the foundation of all existence in the universe, containing all things and ensuring their preservation, hence it is referred to as the store consciousness. Additionally, because it can contain the seeds that give rise to all phenomena, it is also known as the seed consciousness
