In the Origin of the Yellow Springs, he used his great will to purify many existences of the Origin of the Yellow Springs, creating a world of his own. He was so powerful that even the Saint Emperors of the Origin of the Yellow Springs struggled to do anything to him.
He wanted to use the power of his own will to purify everyone in the Yellow Springs Origin. This was a grand ambition that Xuanyuan could not compare to. That was why he swore not to become a Buddha until hell was empty.
In his view, the Yellow Springs Origin was a hell. If he purified the entire Yellow Springs Origin, he would become the first Buddha of all time, because no one had been able to do that since ancient times.
Xuanyuan's so-called 10,000 races coexisted only in the Central World, but Ksitigarbha wanted to purify the entire Origin. The difference between the two was like the difference between dust and the universe.
Xuanyuan felt his own insignificance. At the same time, he gained a deep understanding of the beings of hell.
Before he knew it, another five years had passed. Xuanyuan looked at Ksitigarbha's dharma again. Light flowed, and the floating scriptures melded into Xuanyuan's body. Clearly, Xuanyuan had understood Ksitigarbha's will.
Xuanyuan Youyou took a deep look at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's image, then let out a long sigh and turned to leave. She didn't expect the Devouring Emperor to leave behind such a precious Buddhist treasure in Brahma Heaven.
Clearly, these were only from the Primordial Era. The dharma was so old that it was probably the real thing.
This imprint was too deep, and it could only be passed down to the fated.
As Xuanyuan walked through Brahma, he unknowingly came to a small, run-down temple. In Brahma, this temple was the only one covered in dust and covered in spider webs. There were snakes, rats, ants, and many other creatures.
Xuanyuan scanned them with his will. The wills of these creatures were pure and without any evil. They lived in this temple all year round.
He used the Divine Movement Invisibility Technique to blend in and did not destroy any of the spider webs. In the small temple, there was a Buddha sitting on a lotus platform. Clearly, he had a very high status in the Buddhist Sect. Below him, there were Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras, and Arhats.
A Bodhisattva with a solemn and benevolent expression seemed to be discussing something with the Great Buddha …
Looking at the shape of the Bodhisattva, Xuanyuan was shocked. "Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Buddha, Bodhisattva, Vajra, and Arhat's Dharma Forms were not big, only about an inch tall. Even though it was a dilapidated temple, it gave Xuanyuan the feeling that he was in a boundless world discussing Buddhism.
Ignoring the dust beneath his feet, he sat down cross-legged and quietly listened. Faintly, he could hear the sound of Sanskrit. Xuanyuan knew that there must be a hidden mystery within, so he immersed his mind into this world.
Although he was in an extremely small temple, when Xuanyuan calmed his heart and merged his mind into it, he felt as if he was in a vast universe, without any boundaries.
His mind wandered in the boundless universe, searching for something. Xuanyuan searched for a long time, but he realized that the more he persisted in his pursuit, the further it got from him. Therefore, he decided to stop searching and merge his mind into the universe. It was as if he was this universe, and this universe was him.
Time passed bit by bit. Xuanyuan did not know how much time had passed. Faintly, he could hear the gods and Buddhas discussing Buddhism.
"All living beings …"
"Nanwu, drink Luo Na, Duo Luo Ye …"
At this moment, Xuanyuan could only hear bits and pieces of what they were saying. Xuanyuan was immersed in it. Even if it was just a few words, the Buddhist charm contained in their voices made him realize many things deep in his heart. At this moment, the voice of Guanyin Bodhisattva came out.
Every word and every word was incomparably profound, worthy for people to carefully experience and ponder over the meaning within.
"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when you practiced the Prajna Paramita for a long time, you saw that the five skandhas were all empty, passing through all sufferings. Sarira, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness, emptiness is form, perception, thought, movement, and consciousness are the same. Sarira, the emptiness of all dharmas, neither birth nor death, neither defilement nor purity, neither increase nor decrease. Therefore, emptiness is colorless, without perception, perception, movement, and consciousness, without eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, will, color, sound, fragrance, touch, no vision, or even consciousness …"
At this moment, Xuanyuan could hear it clearly. Every word that came out of her mouth was all-encompassing and extremely profound. Moreover, it was integrated into Xuanyuan's thoughts, causing his wisdom to become more transparent. His understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth became more profound.
After an unknown period of time, Xuanyuan opened his eyes. This was one of the supreme scriptures of Buddhism, the Prajna Heart Sutra.
This was a supreme Dharmic formulation that could unlock the wisdom of all living beings. After comprehending the Prajna Heart Sutra, Xuanyuan's vision of things had become even more distant.
This was a Buddhist Dharma. Xuanyuan knew that he had his own Dao, and everyone's path was different.
What he wanted to learn from was what he needed and integrate it into himself to walk his own Dao. He didn't need to copy everything.
Eight years … Xuanyuan calculated carefully. He had actually spent a total of eight years sitting here.
He looked at the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajras in the hall. They were still the same. Xuanyuan understood that not everyone could obtain the Prajna Heart Sutra. He had also wandered for a long time. After a period of silence, he finally listened to the fragmented discussions of the Buddhist Dharma and finally obtained the Prajna Heart Sutra.
"Yes, Yongjie is back." Xuanyuan didn't expect that Chen Yongjie would stay in the Meru Realm for 18 years.
He walked out of the dilapidated temple. With a thought, he brought out the supreme treasure in the Brahma Heaven. It turned out to be the dharma image of a one-armed Guanyin Bodhisattva. Xuanyuan couldn't understand, but he knew that this object would definitely benefit after sitting in the Meru Realm, so he didn't take it for himself.
In the blink of an eye, Xuanyuan appeared in the Buddhist City of the Blue Dragon Holy Land. This was the residence of Buddhist disciples.
Chen Yongjie's strength had increased greatly, and he had already stepped into the Great Sage realm. His entire temperament had undergone an earth-shattering change.
Xuanyuan appeared and nodded repeatedly, saying, "It seems that Brother Chen has already stepped onto your own Dao."
"That's right. I sat in the Meru Realm for 18 years. On the day I stepped into the Great Sage realm, I became the Meru Realm's Elder Shitian." Although Chen Yongjie's temperament had changed, the feeling that he gave Xuanyuan was still useless. This was a kind of communication between friends.
Originally, Xuanyuan was worried that Chen Yongjie would be controlled by that mysterious masked man. Now, it seemed that he had been worried.
"Elder Shitian." Xuanyuan was puzzled.
"The Minor Sakyamuni Sutra is the supreme existence of the Meru Realm, created by Sakyamuni. Only one person can touch his sacred image, and that is the person who cultivates the Minor Sakyamuni Sutra. In the Meru Realm, I completed the Minor Sakyamuni Sutra and contributed greatly to it. That's why I became the Elder Shitian. I can polish Sakyamuni's sacred image, and if I'm fated with the Great Buddha, the benefits will be endless. This is even better than being the master of the Meru Realm," Chen Yongjie said with a smile.
"You've been here for 18 years. Looks like you've gained a lot …" Xuanyuan sighed with a smile. Indeed, Chen Yongjie's strength was no longer the same as before. Even if he encountered someone like Emperor Yu Hua, he would still be able to fight. After all, Chen Yongjie was a native cultivator of the Central World, and it was quite impressive that he could match the Prince of a Godly Dynasty in the Origin of Hongmeng.
"Yes, the Meru Realm's idea is not to get involved in any conflicts between the major forces. We will work with the Great Leiyin Temple and the Blissful Buddha Temple to protect the Heaven Zen Spirit Province," Chen Yongjie said slowly.
"I understand. I went to the Great Leiyin Temple to see Golden Cicada, and he told me. Yongjie, since nothing has happened in these years, you should bring all the Buddhist disciples to Brahma. If you're fated with the Great Buddha, your cultivation will improve even more …" The Buddhist aura that flowed from Xuanyuan's words shocked Chen Yongjie. It seemed that Xuanyuan's attainment in Buddhism was stronger than his.
"Alright." Chen Yongjie was pleasantly surprised. He knew that in Brahma, there must be treasures of Buddhism waiting for him to excavate.
Chen Yongjie entered the Buddhist City to arrange everything. Xuanyuan entered the Blue Dragon Hall.
Bu Jingsha had broken through to the Fourth Sky of Ancient Emperor Realm in these 18 years. Xia Ziyu was there too.
"How is it? Did anything big happen in these 18 years?" Xuanyuan asked.
"No. All the major forces know their place and haven't made any big moves. The Heaven Zen Spirit Province is very strong. They are united and guarding themselves. They don't get involved in the disturbances of the outside world," Xia Ziyu said solemnly.
"Hmm, that's good. What about the others?" Xuanyuan looked at Bu Jingsha.
"The Blue Dragon Holy Land is progressing rapidly. The younger generation is showing their talents. Xuanyuan, Ping Sheng, and Fu Jingxuan have returned. In these years, they have had great encounters. Both of them have broken through to the Great Sage Heavenly Emperor Realm, adding more power to the Blue Dragon Holy Land. Besides, among the 3,000 Confucian scholars, 1,000 have broken through to the Great Sage Realm …" Bu Jingsha's emotions were as calm as an ancient well.
Xuanyuan nodded. It was indeed beyond his expectations that things could develop to this stage. He asked again, "What about the elites of the demon race?"
"Shi Yan and the Devil Son have made great contributions. Although there have been many fights during this period, none of them were life-threatening. The entry of these warlike demons has made many disciples of the Blue Dragon Holy Land work hard. Our overall fighting power has increased greatly." Xia Ziyu was in charge of this, and she was very happy.
"Hmm, that's good. It's been 18 years, but the Heaven Dao Spirit Province hasn't come yet. Everyone is waiting for them." Xuanyuan sighed and turned to leave. Basically, the Blue Dragon Holy Land's current strength was undoubtedly first.
Xuanyuan walked out of the Blue Dragon Holy Land. The Master of Order had been guarding it. He asked, "How was it?"
