Chapter 23

Just as everyone saw the child about to die under the rod, and many mortals could not help but close their eyes, they suddenly heard a light laugh.

Sacred King Great Sun laughed. With that laugh, the heavens and earth lost their color. Everyone was stunned by the laughter, and the fear in their hearts dissipated as they sat on the ground with peaceful expressions.

"In the past, the Buddha once said, 'With a single thought of anger, the forest of merit will be set ablaze'. Shande, how can you comprehend the Bodhi Great Dao if your anger is not dispelled? "Sacred King opened his mouth and a golden lotus bloomed on his tongue, blocking Wisdom King Brahma's rod. This was the usage of the Sky Lotus Treasured Talisman. The lotus was a sacred object of both Daoism and Buddhism. As long as the Sky Lotus Treasured Talisman was used, it would be too easy to deceive a bunch of low-level Heavenly Immortals.

Wisdom King looked at Sacred King Great Sun in shock. Shande, that was his title in Daoism in the past. In the past, Shande was merely a Daoist child by Daojun Qingming's side, establishing Buddhism with him and becoming a Guardian Wisdom King. "How did he know?"

Sacred King continued, "In the past, you all followed Buddha out of Daoism. The others became Bodhisattvas and made great vows to establish Daoism. Or were bestowed with Buddha's seal and became Buddhas in the future. You're the only one who can't get rid of your resentment and is struggling to advance? Why? " Forming a lotus seal, Wisdom King's golden rod turned into a golden lotus in Sacred King Great Sun's hand.

Without any worldly aura, he easily snatched Wisdom King's weapon and smiled, displaying the majesty of a Buddha. The mortals below praised Sacred King's methods, but the cultivators' expressions turned strange.

"Wasn't Wisdom King Brahma's golden rod personally bestowed by Buddha in the past? With the Buddha's seal on it, how could it be snatched away so easily?"

"And with the Buddha's seal reinforcing it, it can actually mimic the form of a lotus. Unless Buddha descends again and uses his undying Buddha nature to refine it!"

"This person has an undying Buddha nature. Could he really be the reincarnation of Buddha?"

However, everyone could tell that Wisdom King Brahma was definitely not this person's match. The cultivators of Garde's lineage also vaguely understood something from his words. "Saying the words of Buddha in the past, is it because he is indeed the reincarnation of Buddha? But why is he using the third person? Is it because he does not acknowledge Buddhism? You don't want to admit that you are related to Buddha? "

Sacred King Great Sun continued to guide Wisdom King Brahma with benevolent and benevolent words. It seemed like it wanted him to let go of his anger and comprehend the Bodhi Dao Fruit. "In the past, Shan Ke fought with Buddha with his own Dao fruit. His heart of victory and defeat, and his thoughts of fame and profit. In the end, he could not transcend the Dao fruit of Enlightened Enlightenment. He was suppressed by the Buddha's finger under the Sumeru Tree, unable to break free. The past is still vivid in your mind. Why don't you let it go? "

It was a pity that King Ming became anxious when the golden rod transformed into a lotus. This golden rod was bestowed by the Great Light Buddha. It was his demon-subduing treasure, and all the merit he had accumulated over the years was within it.

"Give me back my Demon Subduing Staff!" Wisdom King took a step forward, only to see the Sage King shaking his head and sighing, as though he was bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying the fate of mankind. "External objects are ultimately external objects. You are so obsessed with gains and losses, how can you comprehend the great path?" With a casual toss, the golden lotus first turned into a scripture in the air, then into a precious pearl, and finally into a golden rod, which flew into Wisdom King's hand.

"Sacred" to King, Sacred and he, Sacred. and King.

"I can't take it anymore!" Jiang Yuanchen's expression did not change as he secretly tried to extract vitality from the Sun Wheel to restore his magic power. The immortal Buddha-nature was indeed bestowed by Buddha. Even though he had comprehended Buddha-nature for many years, it was still difficult for him to completely seize the golden rod. He could only simulate it with an illusion.

"In the eyes of mortals, Sacred King." Sacred King wanted to resolve Wisdom. He first took the golden rod and turned it into a golden lotus, hinting at Wisdom. Then, he pointed out that this object was an obstacle to the Wisdom King's path, but the Wisdom King's heart was too heavy, and the Buddha could not enlighten him. Then, he returned the golden staff to him.

A Buddhist cultivator chanted, "I see." His robe turned into dust. The alms bowl in his hand turned into a lotus, then into a Buddhist scripture, and finally into a pearl. After a breeze, the pearl turned into sand. Buddha light flew into his forehead. Three relics danced on his head. Arhat could be vaguely seen behind him.

"He is comprehending the Arhat Fruit!" The group of people at the side was dumbfounded. They quietly watched as this Buddhist cultivator succeeded in his cultivation and kowtowed respectfully to the Holy King. "Bodhi Dharma Heart, untainted by even a speck of dust. Renounce worldly possessions, this disciple understands. "

The Sacred King Great Sun smiled but did not speak. Only then did the surrounding people understand, "So that's how it is. Earlier, the Sacred King purposely kept the golden rod in order to tell Wisdom King that external objects are the evil hindrances in one's heart. Only by using the Lotus Tranquil Art to slay the evil hindrances can one attain the Dao."

A person who was familiar with the stories of Buddha in the past, a person who could guide a cultivator to comprehend the Dao and comprehend the Arhat Tao Fruit, if someone said that he was not the reincarnation of Buddha, who would believe it!

But why didn't he admit it?

Some of them were suspicious and felt that something was wrong. They only felt the gaze of the Saint King on them as he smiled and asked, "What is the proper way?"

The Righteous Dharma was naturally the Great Path of Bodhi, the Dao Fruit of Righteousness.

"The Righteous Dharma is Bodhi." Baoxiang King said.

"Where is the Righteous Dharma?"

Where is the Righteous Dharma? Baoxiang King was stunned, "Of course it is in the hands of Buddha. Buddha descended to save people." Suddenly, he saw Jiang Yuanchen pointing at his heart. He was enlightened, "The Righteous Dharma is in the heart. With the heart as the foundation, the Righteous Dharma is the Righteous Dharma." Baoxiang King felt that he understood why Buddha was of another lineage.

"The Righteous Dharma is constant. Buddha is just a name. If the other lineage still cultivates Righteous Dharma, how is it different from Buddha?" The new Arhat was enlightened. He understood why Buddha was the reincarnation of Sacred King. Is it because everyone is too attached to the Buddhist tradition and is too obsessed with appearances that the Buddha has opened another branch to enlighten us?

Helping Jiang Yuanchen to make up a series of things, everyone was skeptical. Brahma King in the air felt that Sacred King Great Sun was unfathomable and wanted to wait for Snow Mountain Bodhisattva to deal with him.

"It's still not stable. Seems like I need to start the next round." Sacred King Great Sun thought to himself as he contacted Jiang Yuanchen to continue the next round.

Jiang Yuanchen would not personally admit his relationship with the Great Light Buddha, but he tried to mislead them from all aspects. He wanted Brahma King to mistake him as the reincarnation of Buddha, but this Wisdom King did not speak for a long time, so he could only rely on another line.

Shan Ke was someone who followed Qing Ming Daojun from Daoism. After entering Buddhism, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, even surpassing Daojun's disciple Bodhisattva Sheng Le. When Sheng Le was comprehending Bodhisattva's Dao Fruit, Shan Ke had already become a peak True Immortal and started comprehending the final Buddha Fruit. Even so, Qing Ming Daojun still saw Sheng Le as the future Buddha's successor. Therefore, this Shan Ke Bodhisattva Sheng Le had provoked Great Light Buddha in public and was suppressed in the Pure Dharma Realm.

"My Dream Realm has been expanding all these years, collecting the knowledge of the ancient era and finally gaining something." Dinosaur and Dream Dragon Mother appeared on a barren hill. "There's also the information Your Majesty obtained from the ancient illusory realm. We just need to follow Your Majesty's instructions and release Shan Ke. When the time comes, he will come out to prove Your Majesty's identity."

The two Dream Gods looked at each other and smiled. They took out a pearl that Jiang Yuanchen had condensed and smashed it on the hill. This pearl contained an inextinguishable Buddha light. When it collided with the hill, a Buddha seal instantly shattered and a golden figure escaped from the hill.

"He's finally out!" With a long roar, all the Bodhisattvas in the Pure Dharma Realm were shocked. "What happened now?"

"Not good, the Meru Seal has been broken. That fierce person has escaped!"

The few Bodhisattvas hurriedly gathered together. Snow Mountain Bodhisattva also stopped and looked to the west. A streak of light shot towards Long Shuguo, aiming directly at Sacred King Great Sun to attack.

"Qing Ming! You have suppressed me for countless years! This debt, it's time to repay it! "After breaking the seal, he was muddle-headed. However, with his immortal Buddha nature, he found where Jiang Yuanchen was.

Sacred King Great Sun wore a smile on his face as he secretly rejoiced, "The last witness is here!"

What kind of person was Mingguang Shengshan Bodhisattva? He was one of the future Buddhas who was not inferior to Shengle Bodhisattva. How could he recognize the wrong person? At least Snow Mountain Bodhisattva and the others trusted this Bodhisattva's judgment. Originally, Snow Mountain Bodhisattva was here to settle scores with Jiang Yuanchen. Now, he hurriedly took out the Treasure Bottle Snow Lotus and helped to block Shengshan Bodhisattva's attack.

Brahma Vidyaraja also regained his senses and took the initiative to wave his golden rod to block Shengshan Bodhisattva's attack on Sacred King Great Sun.

"Desire for victory, hindering one's actions. Shan Ke, countless years have passed. You still haven't improved! " Sacred King Great Sun's hand seal changed. The swastika Buddha seal flew and landed on Snow Mountain Bodhisattva and Brahma Vidyaraja.

"Wisdom enhancement?" The two vaguely felt a pure Buddha nature enhancing them. It seemed to be similar to what Great Light Buddha had used in the past.

"In the past, you were only a step away from attaining the Buddha fruit. However, the desire for victory and fame turned into a demonic barrier that prevented you from taking that step. Buddha suppressed you in the mountains to cultivate. However, after all these years, not only did you not understand his good intentions, you even grew evil. Now that your cultivation has fallen, it will be hard for you to even retain the third level of the Dao fruit! "Sacred King Great Sun sighed.

From afar, the two Dream Deities quietly returned to the Dream Realm. On the way, Dream Dragon Mother secretly laughed, "His Majesty is used to tricking people. Now, he even dares to trick this former True Immortal Bodhisattva."

"Although this incarnation of His Majesty does not have much magic power, it still has the imprint left by His Majesty. It should be able to hold up against these Bodhisattvas for a while." Deity Dinosaur was full of confidence, "Leave the rest to His Majesty. We will focus on setting up the Dream Realm passage in the Pure Dharma Realm."

Shan Ke was stopped by Brahma Vidyaraja and Snow Mountain Bodhisattva. She gradually calmed down and started to understand her own situation. Indeed, not only had her magic power been mostly depleted, her cultivation had also been falling. Now, she barely had the strength of a third level Heavenly Immortal.

However, after her mind cleared, she vaguely felt that something was wrong with Sacred King Great Sun. Calculating with her fingers, she seemed to have understood something, "You …"

"Isn't it too much to attack the benefactor who saved you?" Suddenly, she heard laughter, "The Taoist priest is a Golden Immortal cultivator from the outside world. He specially came to the Pure Dharma Realm to spread the Golden Immortal Dao. Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to help me, I will let you have half a seat. How about that? "

"Golden Immortal? Pure Dharma Realm? " Shan Ke fought with the two Bodhisattvas while secretly communicating with Sacred King Great Sun, "What do you mean? Qing Ming is dead? Otherwise, the Buddha nature would not have fallen into your hands! "

"He has reincarnated. When he returns, he will definitely seal you again. Therefore, join forces with me. Both of us will reopen a meridian and refine the world. Both of us will have a chance to achieve Dao. "

"However, you are a Daoist. No matter how much I hate Qing Ming, I am still a Buddhist. Now that you have overturned Buddhism, I just need to suppress you and I will be able to control the Buddhism of this world. "

"Since fellow Daoist calls Tathagata Qing Ming, how can you not know the connection between Buddhism and Daoism? In the past, if not for Daojun Qing Ming stealing a huge fate from our Daoist Immortal Dao, how would Buddhism be established? The current supreme being of the Buddhist path had always been the Great Light Buddha. Rather than saying that you are cultivating Buddhism, it is better to say that you are comprehending the Dao fruit of enlightenment. In terms of origin, it is still our Daoist lineage of mental cultivation. Buddha is nothing more than a title. I cultivate with wisdom and comprehend Dao with spiritual awareness. I am the same as you, why don't we join forces? Both of us will lead Buddha to become Immortals. When the fate returns to Daoism, both of us will have done a great service. "

Shan Ke was silent. The golden rod above her head was like a tiger. She slapped back and a huge lotus seal forced Bodhisattva back. She thought, "I can see that this so-called Sacred King Great Sun's cultivation is indeed similar to mine. He has changed the foundation of Buddhism and returned to Daoism. To me, it is also revenge for being suppressed in the past. " Her eyes rolled and Shan Ke shouted angrily at Sacred King Great Sun, "Qing Ming, even after reincarnating, you still dare to go against Buddha. I will let you off today. Not long after, when the demonic tribulation comes, Buddha will destroy your Light Buddha lineage! " With that, Shan Ke disappeared, only silently sending a message to Sacred King Great Sun, "I will come find you three days later!"
