Bodhi Calendar Year 823. Dark clouds covered the sky and the snow mountain was sealed. In just a month, the peak of the snow mountain was broken. Snow Mountain Bodhisattva perished, leaving behind a relic into the mortal world.
Another three months passed. Brahma Wisdom King perished. Buddhism's karmic luck was reduced by thirty percent. The other Daos of Buddhism were united. Four Bodhisattvas and five Arhats established a Buddhist nation to deal with billions of demons.
Dragon Tree Nation. Sacred King Great Sun sat under a tree. Behind him, twenty-four pearls illuminated the eastern sky.
Sensing the changes in the west, Sacred King muttered to himself, "I didn't expect it to start so soon. Buddhism is united now. It seems like it can still last for a few more years. However, fellow Daoist, you have lost your merit. I'm afraid there will be a tribulation in the future. "Looking up, Daoist Shan Ke's immortal consciousness descended.
"Therefore, we must win this battle. Only when Golden Immortal Sect prospers can we wash away our karma."
Looking around, there were demons everywhere in the mortal world. Only three pure lands protected the Dao. One was the Bodhi Pure Land of the four Bodhisattvas. One was Sacred King Great Sun's Lotus Holy Land. The last one was Shan Ke's Extraordinary Spirit Mountain.
The three pure lands protected all living beings. However, other than the three pure lands, all the other lands were filled with demons.
With the seven Demon Kings at the lead, the demons ruled separately. The tribulation entered a stalemate.
"Quickly attain the Dao. Only after you become an immortal can the Golden Immortal Dao be truly established. "
Only by establishing the Golden Immortal Dao as an Ancestral Master, Jiang Yuanchen, could he obtain the light from providence from the Buddhists and return to the Dao lineage, eliminating the conflict between the two Daos.
"Just a little more." Twenty-four pearls danced in the air. Each pearl was engraved with the Great Dao. Each pearl was an immortal artifact, formed from the incense and merit of all living beings. However, it was still lacking by a little, causing this set of Dharma treasures to be incomplete.
"Your Netherworld King incarnation is about to enter Dragon Tree Nation. It's better to hurry!"
Sacred King Great Sun and Netherworld King incarnations, one good and one evil, lived and died. Only by borrowing the other's strength could they perfect their Dao. Jiang Yuanchen had the intention to help Sacred King Great Sun. Therefore, Netherworld King incarnation only had instincts. Even his intelligence was suppressed, acting according to Jiang Yuanchen's control.
Among the seven Demon Kings, Netherworld King and Black Lotus Crown Prince were all Celestial Immortals. However, compared to the Black Lotus Crown Prince pulling out the Black Lotus Church and establishing the Heavenly Demon Path, the Underworld Monarch was alone, gathering a vast amount of Death Qi. He posed the least threat among the seven Demon Kings.
Jiang Yuanchen looked up and down at the Twenty-Four Heavens Merit Beads and said, "I'm still one step short. There's still a sliver of merit left in these Heavens Merit Beads. I need someone to help me extract a bit more luck from the Buddhist League."
…
Outside the Dragon Tree Country, a monk in ragged clothes was carrying a baby as he hurriedly avoided the devil behind him.
After Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva. Bo. Thousand.
This was a Maha Bodhisattva reincarnated from a celestial being. If a Devil King were to devour his reincarnated body, his cultivation would leap to a whole new level. If a Primordial Spirit Great Devil were to devour his corporeal body, he would become a Devil King immediately. Moreover, if they could reincarnate the Demonized Bodhisattva and turn him into the Eighth Demon King, it would be a blasphemy to the Buddhist Dao.
"Excellent! Buddha, please bless us. Bodhisattva's reincarnation can enter the pure land."
Despair appeared on Venerable Yuanshan's face. He even thought of killing Snow Mountain Bodhisattva's reincarnation to cut off the possibility of a Demon King attaining the Dao. Of course, killing the Bodhisattva would cause his cultivation to fall. The Red Lotus Karmic Flame would destroy his Golden Body, and he might even turn into a Demon. " Venerable Yuanshan showed an expression of despair. He even thought of killing Snow Mountain Bodhisattva's reincarnation to cut off the possibility of a Demon King attaining the Dao.
This was what the Black Lotus Demon King, Skyscraping's incarnation, wanted. Not only did he want to demonize Snow Mountain Bodhisattva, but he also wanted to turn this venerable monk of Snow Mountain Temple into his Demon Disciple.
Hence, the Black Lotus Church's disciples toyed with this monk like cats playing with mice.
However, coincidentally, Venerable Mulian, who had just returned from rescuing the two, happened to pass by. When he saw the Black Lotus Church's disciples dealing with the Buddhist disciples, he made a move and chased them away, saving the two.
Mulian was benevolent. Furthermore, he was originally a Buddhist cultivator. Although he had become Jiang Yuanchen's disciple, he still had goodwill toward the Buddhist sect.
After saving the two, he said, "The Buddhist Bodhi Pure Land is too far away. Fellow Buddhist, why don't you go to Dragon Tree Country and meet my master before making your decision?"
Venerable Yuanshan smiled bitterly. He could only accept Mulian's good intentions. "Thank you, Venerable."
He carried the baby and left with Venerable Mulian. Then, the Black Lotus Crown Prince and another Demon King appeared. The Black Lotus Crown Prince smiled. "The stage has been set. Let's see how those characters will act."
The other Demon King smiled mysteriously. This was the Demon King Doromorda, who had walked out of the sea of bitterness. He was the Demon God who had been sealed when the Buddhist sect was first established.
"The bait has already been cast. Let's see what this so-called Sage King will choose." Would he be willing to drag the entire Dragon Tree Country into a calamity for a Snow Mountain Bodhisattva?
…
Venerable Yuanshan followed Venerable Mulian closely. He had only seen the Bodhi Pure Land before. The Bodhi Tree had been built by the Bodhisattvas. Seven treasures, including gold, silver, and glazed glass, were hung in the lush forest. Buddhist pagodas were built in the forest to worship the Buddha's incarnations and defend against the invasion of the Demons. There was also a Buddhist country in the depths of the Bodhi Pure Land. It was the true cultivation holy land of the four Bodhisattvas.
But in the Lotus Holy Realm, lotuses were everywhere. Other than the Water Lotus, there were also the Air Lotus and Drought Lotus. Looking around, all kinds of lotuses gathered spiritual light and shone with the sunlight in the sky.
That's right. When the demonic clouds covered the sky, only the three Pure Lands could still see light. The three Pure Lands raised their sun stars to illuminate their territories.
Jiang Yuanchen had secretly pushed for the three suns to appear at the same time. He had raised the sun star of the Dragon Tree Country a long time ago. Later, he hinted to Shanke to raise the sun star of the Spirit Mountain. The Bodhi Pure Land followed suit and built the sun star, claiming that it was the incarnation of Vairocana.
In the future, when Jiang Yuanchen unified the world, the three Pure Lands would definitely become one. He would use the idea of the Three Suns Opening Tai of the Jingyang Daoist Sect to achieve the Vairocana True Body.
Other than the lotus and the sun star, the country still respected the Treasure Elephant King as its ruler. He was ordered to maintain order and build an army to guard against the Demons. Now, the Dragon Tree Country had more than doubled its original size.
"The twenty-four Heavenly Realms that appear above the Lotus Holy Realm must be the Pure Land of Bliss they speak of?"
According to the Sacred King Great Sun, the Buddhist lands had become a sea of bitterness. The three Pure Lands were just boats in the sea of bitterness. Only the Sacred King's Pure Land of Bliss could truly save the world. It was a pure, eternal bliss.
Auspicious Goddess held a flower branch and kept sprinkling spirit light around her. She walked on the five-colored flower path to welcome Supremacy Mulian. "Supremacy, how many people did you save this time?"
"I passed by seven villages and saved three hundred people." Supremacy Mulian sighed. After the Lotus Holy Realm was built, he could not bear to see the mortals outside the three Pure Lands being harmed by the demons. So, he took the risk to go to various regions to eliminate the demons and try to save people and bring them back to the holy realm.
"Then, Supremacy, please find the ruler to settle these people," Auspicious Goddess said softly. "As for this Grandmaster, please follow me to meet the Sacred King." Looking at the baby in Grandmaster Yuanshan's arms, Auspicious Goddess sighed. "Supremacy Mulian is a kind person. He doesn't know the cruelty of the demon path. Although this baby is the reincarnation of a great expert, he has already been planted with a demon seed and tainted with tribulation energy. He's clearly trying to drag the Lotus Holy Realm and the Pure Land of Bliss into the demon disaster. He deliberately wanted Supremacy to save him. "
Bringing Grandmaster Yuanshan to meet the Sacred King Great Sun, Sacred King Great Sun instantly saw through the Black Lotus Crown Prince's plan. Jiang Yuanchen looked at the tribulation energy on the two of them and fell into deep thought.
"I see. No wonder Snow Mountain Bodhisattva reincarnated so quickly. He wanted to obtain the blessing of the heavens and use the power of the Tribulation Taker to help Buddhism prosper?"
This was a plan that the Bodhisattvas had thought of together. They retreated in order to advance. With the help of heaven, they allowed Snow Mountain Bodhisattva to reincarnate as the Tribulation Taker and use the great luck of Buddhism to eliminate the demon path.
However, the Black Lotus Crown Prince and the other Demon Kings were not stupid. They naturally would not let Snow Mountain Bodhisattva succeed. Instead, they dragged Dragon Tree Country into it and took the initiative to send Snow Mountain Bodhisattva to Dragon Tree Country's territory, using Snow Mountain Bodhisattva's tribulation energy to break the fate of the Lotus Holy Realm.
When Snow Mountain Bodhisattva appeared under the Dragon Tree, withered leaves fell from the Dragon Tree, showing the Heavenly Mystery of the Great Tribulation.
"They are just scheming against each other to see who is stronger." Shan Ke smiled and sent a voice transmission, "Why not bring him to my Spirited Mountain? My Spirited Mountain emphasizes the art of heart, which can help him get rid of the demon seed. "
The three Pure Lands each had their own merits. The Lotus Holy Land was known for its extreme bliss, with the Realm of Desire as the final destination of living beings. The Bodhi Pure Land was rooted in the earth, using the light of wisdom, liberation, and purity to set up an unbreakable barrier. As for Spirited Mountain, it was faintly discernible. Its body was in the world, but its spirit was on the other side. It could only be seen by fate, and the few Demon Kings couldn't attack it.
In the eyes of the two, there was a black lotus seal on the forehead of this reincarnated spirit child. It was obviously left by the Black Lotus Crown Prince. Beside them, Monk Yuanshan didn't notice it at all because of his realm. Even his arrival in Dragon Tree Country was the result of the Black Lotus Crown Prince's manipulation.
"If we really fight, the Black Lotus isn't scary, but we need to be careful of his evil schemes. This child can't stay in Dragon Tree Country. Even your Spirited Mountain isn't safe. Therefore, it's best to send him back to the Bodhi Pure Land. " Sacred King Dari pondered for a while and waved his hand. One of the twenty-four pearls above his head landed on Snow Mountain Bodhisattva.
Sacred King said to Monk Yuanshan kindly, "This is my sacred pearl, it can protect the two of you to the Bodhi Pure Land in the west. Although there will be demons obstructing you along the way, when the two of you enter the pure land, you will definitely be able to help Snow Mountain Bodhisattva to be reborn and attain the Dao fruit. "He handed the second pearl to Monk Yuanshan.
Next, Sacred King Dari patted the dragon tree, and a golden fruit grew on the tree. The fruit landed on the ground, and Wisdom King Brahma was reborn. He was burly and wore a divine armor, but now he only had the combat power of a Primordial Spirit.
"If you don't get rid of your anger, you won't be able to achieve anything. Now, I'll share a fortuitous encounter with you. Protect Snow Mountain Bodhisattva to the Bodhi Pure Land, slaying demons and accumulating merits along the way. "
He looked like a teacher. Wisdom King Brahma frowned and did not speak. But in Monk Yuanshan's eyes, it was clear that Sacred King was the reincarnation of Buddha Maha-Vairocana. Otherwise, why would he try so hard to persuade Wisdom King Brahma and take the risk to save him?
Of course, what he did not know was that the reason Wisdom King Brahma did not die was that Daoist Shan Ke had helped him on account of their past friendship. However, to reconstruct a corporeal body was not something that Shan Ke was good at, so he sent it to Sacred King Dari for help.
Jiang Yuanchen had a wicked idea. He took out Wisdom King Brahma's Demon Subduing Staff and cast a spell to refine it. Then, he inserted the third pearl into it and handed it to Wisdom King. "Snow Mountain Bodhisattva is the main character in the tribulation. If you are truly loyal to Buddhism, help him to go to the Bodhi Pure Land and let him regain his original appearance."
After giving out the three pearls, Jiang Yuanchen continued calculating. Just then, Venerable Mulian walked over. Jiang Yuanchen suddenly smiled and said, "Disciple, I'll give you a fortuitous encounter!" The fourth pearl was inserted into Mulian's glabella. "You saved him, so send them to the Bodhi Pure Land!" With a wave of his sleeve, the four of them were forcefully sent out of Dragon Tree Country by Jiang Yuanchen. Accompanied by auspicious clouds and cool winds, they flew in the direction of the Bodhi Pure Land.
Jiang Yuanchen moved, and the secrets of heaven changed instantly. The destiny of the next year seized the initiative.
