"Your Majesty, the corpse bugs earlier were somewhat problematic, so …" The Unborn Man immediately flew over.
"It's fine. It is enough that you dealt with those corpse bugs. The corpse bugs are too powerful. Even the Lifespan Dao cannot do anything to them, "Gu Hai said, shaking his head.
"Yes!" The Unborn Man nodded.
"Your Majesty, Bodhisattva Lian Sheng disappeared as well. Should we look for Bodhisattva Lian Sheng first or go to Crown Prince Gu Han's place?" Kong Xuan asked with a frown.
"I already found Gu Han's place. He is here as well. However, he is in a different time period, like the two space-time periods you were in earlier. They are here, "Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"Oh?" Everyone's expression changed.
"Your Majesty, we came out of the netherworld earlier. When we returned, we appeared here. How about we try again?" the Unborn Man asked.
"Alright!" Gu Hai nodded.
However, the Unborn Man swung his hand in the air.
"Buzz!"
A tear appeared in space, and a large amount of Yang Energy surged out.
"Let's go!"
Everyone immediately rushed out.
They instantly appeared in a mountain forest. However, the surrounding forests and countless plants had all strangely withered.
"Hey? It was not like this earlier! "Kong Xuan said in shock.
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes. He understood that Emperor Kong and the other people of the Great Yellow Dynasty probably came out with the six Resentful Spirit Kings' corpses and left already.
"Let's go back first!" Gu Hai said.
"Yes!" the Unborn Man answered.
Ling Xu swung his hand in the air, and another entrance to the two worlds appeared.
Everyone immediately stepped in.
The moment they entered:
They heard boundless Buddhist chanting. Many huge golden swastika symbols floated in the surroundings.
Not far away, the Withered Lamp Buddha was inside a blazing sun.
The Withered Lamp Buddha showed a pained expression as if he was struggling with two conflicting thoughts.
Not far away, Bodhisattva Lian Sheng and Gu Han held their palms together. Golden light radiated from their bodies. It looked like countless Buddhas and Bodhisattva images stood in the surroundings, chanting scriptures and giving off Buddhist hymns. The Buddhist voice surged towards Withered Lamp Buddha in the center of the blazing sun. Withered Lamp Buddha's head hurt even more.
"Ah, the Peak Lord's orders cannot be disobeyed. Kill, kill, kill!"
"I have made a great vow to resolve the sufferings of the common people and create a world of pure bliss. I will never forget my original intentions!"
…
…
…
Withered Lamp Buddha let out two different sounds. As they clashed, his head hurt more and more.
"Esteemed Master, disciple Rulai has put down his butcher's knife and understands Esteemed Master's painstaking efforts!" Gu Han respectfully bowed to Withered Lamp Buddha.
"Master, Disciple Lian Sheng will definitely assist First Senior Brother in his previous life to rebuild Nalanda Temple. It is my duty to save the common people from suffering. I will never forget Master's words!" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng also bowed respectfully.
At the side, Qin Zibai sat beside Gu Han and muttered to himself. The Wisdom Divine Scepter in his hand gave off a green light.
"Ah!" Withered Lamp Buddha screamed in pain.
Boom!
A small hole immediately appeared in Withered Lamp Buddha's forehead. Black energy spread out from the hole, and it looked like a corpse bug was writhing in pain.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Crack! The corpse bug seemed to be suppressing Withered Lamp Buddha's consciousness, and Withered Lamp Buddha's consciousness was suppressing it as well.
When Gu Hai and the others suddenly appeared, their expressions sank.
"The corpse bug heavenly demon is really careful. Withered Lamp Buddha's clone listens to him in the first place. However, he was still worried and planted a corpse bug in Withered Lamp Buddha's head," Mosquito Daoren said in shock.
"His wariness is not without reason. At the very least, Withered Lamp Buddha's will is resisting now," Gu Hai said seriously.
Boom!
Immediately, that Withered Lamp Buddha's head gave off a loud sound. A large hole immediately appeared in Withered Lamp Buddha's head. The corpse bug inside screamed miserably and instantly exploded into pieces.
Withered Lamp Buddha's body withered, and the sun around him dimmed as well.
At this moment, the struggle on Withered Lamp Buddha's face disappeared, replaced by a benevolent expression as he looked at Gu Han and Bodhisattva Lian Sheng.
"Gautama, you finally put down your butcher's knife?" Withered Lamp Buddha asked weakly.
"Master, this disciple already fully understands. I will do my best to wash away the sins of my previous life in this life. Heaven left this Corpse Grave Realm with trillions of resentful spirits. This disciple is willing to purify these trillions of resentful spirits as the first step. If the resentful spirits are not purified, I will not become a Buddha," Gu Han said Solemnly.
Withered Lamp Buddha gently waved his hand.
Whoosh!
Withered Lamp Buddha immediately withdrew his three layers of past will.
Aside from the Thirty-Five Line-Pair World Formation that Gu Hai laid, the surroundings of the Corpse Mound Realm were dyed scarlet by the overwhelming resentment. The surging resentment spirits had multiplied by more than a hundred times. They were everywhere. The more resentment spirits there were, the more miserable cries there were. Resentment and resentment mutually promoted each other, as if they were sublimating each other, increasing continuously.
"Resentment? What heavy resentment! Could it be that all the resentful spirits in the corpse pit were released? Given the rising resentment, it will soon shatter the Corpse Grave Realm and harm the common people! "Withered Lamp Buddha exclaimed in shock.
"If the resentful spirits are not purified, this disciple will not leave the Corpse Grave Realm!" Gu Han said Solemnly.
Withered Lamp Buddha looked around and finally smiled bitterly. "Three generations of Buddhist intent? Purifying trillions of resentful spirits? The three of you happen to be a combination of three generations of Buddhas. However, there are too many resentful spirits, too many. You will not be able to handle it! "
"This disciple will try his best!" Gu Han said Solemnly again.
"Lian Sheng!" Withered Lamp Buddha looked at Bodhisattva Lian Sheng.
"This disciple is here!" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng said respectfully.
"Many thanks for your great kindness earlier. You helped me regain my lost nature, allowing me to regain my original heart!" Withered Lamp Buddha said gratefully.
"This disciple should do what he should. Furthermore, this disciple alone would not be enough. I need First Senior Brother's reincarnation to help. Only then …" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng immediately said.
"You already understand the meaning of the dharmic name Lian Sheng. I am already very gratified!" Withered Lamp Buddha pressed his palms together.
"Yes, Master!" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng said respectfully.
"Gautama? Master's greatest hope is for you to put down the butcher's knife. This is because Master understands that you putting down the butcher's knife is more important to the common people than me cultivating Buddhism for my entire life. Right now, although I am a copy, my Buddhist heart has not changed. I am the original me. We cultivators of Buddhism cultivate the Buddhist heart. Our physical bodies are just shells, "Withered Lamp Buddha said Solemnly.
"Yes, Master!" Gu Han bowed respectfully.
Although Gu Han knew that this was just a copy, a fake Withered Lamp Buddha, he understood that the Buddhist heart was the foundation of Withered Lamp Buddha. With the Buddhist heart, one could live forever.
"Master is gratified that you can think of purifying these trillions of resentful spirits. Master's three souls are damaged and do not have much time left. At the last moment, I will help the three of you divide these resentful spirits and form a thirteen-floor Eternal Buddhist Pagoda. Each floor has its own space to divide the resentful spirits so that you can purify them!" Withered Lamp Buddha said as he pressed his palms together.
"Master, you can't!" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng's expression changed.
"Thirteen-floor Eternal Buddhist Pagoda? That is Nalanda Temple's Eternal Buddhist Pagoda Technique? "Qin Zibai exclaimed in shock.
"Buzz!"
Then, Xiao Chen saw Withered Lamp Buddha chanting in the sky. The blazing sun on his body suddenly released bright light, illuminating the surroundings. The blazing sun wrapped around the severely injured Withered Lamp Buddha and slowly changed shape, turning into a golden pagoda.
The moment the gigantic pagoda appeared, it reached the sky and landed on the ground. There were a total of thirteen floors, and each floor had nine sides. Suddenly, all the doors of the nine-sided pagoda opened.
Creak!
A total of one hundred and seventeen doors opened, producing a strong suction force. "Wu! Wu!
Wu! Wu! "
The surrounding resentful spirits cried out as the pagoda's suction force sucked them in.
Rumble …!
The surging resentful spirits were immediately sucked into the Eternal Buddhist Pagoda. It was like a whale sucking in water, filling the entire Corpse Grave Realm.
"Master!" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng cried out anxiously and sorrowfully.
Solemnly, only Gu Han suddenly bowed and said, "Master turned his body into a pagoda and saved the common people. This disciple congratulates Master on achieving enlightenment!"
When Gu Han bowed, Bodhisattva Lian Sheng and Qin Zibai looked at him in shock. They immediately understood what Gu Han meant. Wasn't this Withered Lamp Buddha's grand wish? Now, he turned his body into a pagoda and completed his grand wish. Didn't this mean that he achieved enlightenment? They should congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Master, on achieving enlightenment!" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng said respectfully.
"Congratulations, Withered Lamp Buddha, on achieving enlightenment!" Qin Zibai said respectfully as well.
The three slowly walked to the Eternal Buddhist Pagoda.
Rumble …!
Resentful spirits surged over. The three slightly drove the pagoda, and the pagoda absorbed them even faster. In just one day, nearly all the resentful spirits were sucked into the Eternal Buddhist Pagoda. Only one percent of the resentful spirits remained outside.
Creak!
The pagoda's one hundred and seventeen doors closed at the same time.
At this moment, the Eternal Buddhist Pagoda seemed to expand several times, filling the surroundings and forming an illusory pagoda.
"Wu wu wu wu!"
Inside the pagoda, countless resentful spirits wailed. The boundless resentment in the world surged over, crashing into the pagoda. The pagoda shook as if on the verge of shattering.
"Oh no! The resentment in this world is too great!" Bodhisattva Lian Sheng said anxiously.
"There are too many resentful spirits, and the Eternal Buddha Pagoda can't hold them all. The resentful spirits inside are controlling the overflowing resentment outside, wanting to destroy the Eternal Buddha Pagoda. What should we do?" Qin Zibai said anxiously.
"Resentment? There is too much resentment. Perhaps Master's efforts will go to waste! "Gu Han also revealed an anxious expression.
"Are you worried about the resentment in this world?" Gu Hai asked.
"Yes. The resentment comes from all the resentful spirits in the pagoda and is connected to them. Although the pagoda imprisons the resentful spirits, there is too much resentment outside, continuously attacking the pagoda. The pagoda might …" Gu Han said worriedly.
"What if there is no more resentment?" Gu Hai asked.
"Ah?" Gu Han said, feeling confused.
"Kong Xuan, Mosquito Daoren, protect this emperor!" Gu Hai said.
"Yes!" the two answered.
However, when they saw Gu Hai sitting down cross-legged, they immediately drove their Heavenly Soul and executed the Great Compassion Poem to absorb the resentment.
"Rumble ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"
The boundless resentment that dyed the Corpse Mound Realm red seemed to abandon all resentful spirits and gathered around Gu Hai's body. Gu Hai's body was like a black hole, crazily sucking in this overwhelming resentment. Xiao Chen swallowed up the resentful spirits even faster than the Eternal Buddhist Pagoda earlier.
Gu Hai quickly absorbed the surging resentment. At the same time, it surged into the Heavenly Eye of his Heavenly Soul, forming a new Qi Core, the Resentment Pill.
