Two years later, in the Central Continent.
"So this is the Sky Sound Weave. Even the emperor is a monk. How strange!" Emperor Xian Xian said with a strange expression.
"This is called a Buddhist Kingdom. It is a special feature of a kingdom under a dojo. Usually, large Buddhist dojos will have some Buddhist Kingdoms." Zhong Shan explained.
A few days ago, they had arrived at the Sky Sound Weave. They walked towards the center.
At the periphery of the Sky Sound Temple, they readied themselves and made some inquiries.
In a city of a Buddhist Kingdom, Zhong Shan quickly found the city lord for questioning.
"Senior, the Sky Sound Temple rules the Sky Sound Weave. There are three Buddhas, corresponding to the past, present, and future!" The city lord said respectfully.
Zhong Shan and the others only needed to use a little bit of their methods to suppress the City Lord to the point that he did not dare to resist. In addition to some small favors, the City Lord quickly told them everything he knew.
"Past, present, and future? It is very similar to the Pure Land of Bliss! "Mr. Shi nodded.
"Because the Pure Land of Bliss was passed down from the Sky Sound Temple!" Zhong Shan laughed.
The city lord looked at them in surprise but did not interrupt.
"A few hundred years ago, a Buddha should have returned, right?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Yes, that was the Present Buddha. Unfortunately, I heard that the Grand Nirvana failed, causing the Sky Sound Temple to be a little awkward!" The city lord thought about it and said.
"Oh? Tell me what you know! "
"Yes. Legend has it that a hundred thousand years ago, the abbot of the Sublime Chord Monastery was the Present Buddha. He was an eighth firmament Ancestral Immortal. As for the Past Buddha and Future Buddha, they were both seventh firmament Ancestral Immortals. Therefore, the Present Buddha's words carried enormous weight in the Sublime Chord Monastery. As Present Buddha had been stuck at the eighth firmament of the Ancestral Immortal realm, unable to improve any further, he chose to undergo a Grand Nirvana. He hoped to transcend the eighth firmament of the Ancestral Immortal realm through the Grand Nirvana and reach the ninth firmament! Therefore, he disappeared for a long time! "The city lord explained.
"Grand Nirvana? Nirvana and transcendence. Indeed, Buddhist cultivators have such breakthroughs, "Mr. Shi nodded and said affirmatively.
"However, more than a hundred thousand years later, the people of Tian Yin Temple followed the clues of 'Present Buddha' and found him. After bringing him back, he comprehended 'Emptiness', but his cultivation did not break through. He was still stuck at Zu Xian Eighth Layer of Heaven, unable to advance an inch!" The City Lord said.
"Oh? Mr. Shi was surprised. "Nirvana Transcendence didn't break through?"
"Yes, he didn't break through. And after a hundred thousand years, the Past Buddha and Future Buddha have reached the eighth firmament of the Ancestral Immortal Realm. The three Buddhas have the same cultivation level, and none of them can suppress the other. The history of the Present Buddha's words having enormous weight no longer exists. Three Buddhas, Three Words Sublime Chord Monastery!"
"Who would have thought that Tian 'er is already at the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Zu Xian!" Zhong Shan exclaimed in surprise.
The City Lord's pupils constricted. If he had not just seen the freaks in front of him, the City Lord would have thought that he was a lunatic.
"Because the Crown Prince has the accumulation of his past life, as long as he comprehends' Emptiness', his cultivation will slowly reach the same level. It's like a vat of water. The vat is already big enough, and when it's filled with water, it will return to its original state. It's not like other people who have to change from a small vat to a big one step at a time. Just like when Jieyin was enlightened, his cultivation will reach the same level in the blink of an eye. Of course, the Crown Prince's realm should be much lower than Jieyin's, "Mr. Shi explained.
"Mr. Shi, you seem to have a deep understanding of Buddhism?" Zhong Shan smiled.
With a bitter smile, Mr. Shi shook his head and said, "When I was young, I grew up in the Central Continent!"
After that, Mr. Shi stepped back slightly. He did not want to say more, as if he had touched his sore spot. Zhong Shan nodded and did not ask more.
"Senior, are you going to Tian Yin Temple?" The City Lord asked again.
"Yes!" Zhong Shan nodded.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to enter Tian Yin Temple now!" The City Lord said.
"Why?"
"I don't know. I only know that two years ago, Tian Yin Temple suddenly closed to the outside world. Except for a few close friends of Tian Yin Temple, no one else was allowed to enter. Occasionally, there would be a bright light in the direction of Tian Yin Temple, as if there were people fighting!" The City Lord said.
Fighting? Everyone was slightly surprised.
"Well, we know. You can leave now!" Zhong Shan said lightly.
"Yes, senior!"
After the City Lord left, everyone looked at Zhong Shan again.
"Zhong Shan, what should we do if we can't enter Tian Yin Temple now?" Xian Xian was slightly troubled.
"Can't enter Tian Yin Temple? Is there a place we can't enter? "Zhong Shan smiled.
"Uh!"
"Let's try out the specialties here. We'll enter Tian Yin Temple later!" Zhong Shan smiled.
"Okay!" Xian Xian suddenly became excited.
Yes, closed to the outside world? Closed to a group of Zu Xian?
After a short rest, the group of people arrived at Tian Yin Temple.
From far away, they could see the sky full of merit clouds. Sanskrit chants resounded and sandalwood fragrance filled the air.
An endless stretch of golden mountain range. In the distance, there were even streams of golden light. Although they couldn't see the scene inside, it wasn't difficult for them to guess that there was a battle inside.
Soon, some patrolling monks saw Zhong Shan and his group.
"Who are you?" The leading monk asked.
"I'm looking for Present Buddha! You go and tell him that we're from Daikon State's Holy Court! "Zhong Shan said lightly.
"Uh?" The leading monk was slightly surprised. The other monks were also at a loss.
When one of the monks was about to refuse, the leading monk said, "Everyone, please wait for a moment. I'll go and report!"
The other monks were at a loss. What's wrong with Senior Brother?
"En!" Zhong Shan nodded.
Zhong Shan and his group landed on a mountain peak.
The group of patrolling monks flew back to where they came from.
"Senior Brother, isn't Tian Yin Temple closed? What are you …? "A monk asked softly.
"You don't understand. Don't offend these people. Treat them well. I'll go and report." Senior Brother raised his eyebrows and said.
"Alright!"
Senior Brother flew along the golden mountain range towards the center.
At this moment, in the depths of the golden mountain range, countless rays of light shot into the sky. There was indeed a Buddhist battle going on. And one of the parties involved was Zhong Tian.
Zhong Tian didn't shave and wore a moon-white monk robe. He didn't look like a Buddha but more like a dashing young master. Opposite him was a golden Buddha with a face like that of a Buddha.
The two of them sat on both sides of a valley. Sitting on an eleventh-grade golden lotus, they constantly used their Buddhist techniques to compete with each other. There were other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas standing around, watching the battle solemnly.
Among the spectators, there was another solemn Buddha sitting on an eleventh-grade golden lotus, watching the battle seriously.
"Future Buddha, Present Buddha and Past Buddha have been fighting for three months. When will the results be out?" A Bodhisattva asked the Buddha sitting on an eleventh-grade golden lotus curiously.
"Don't be impatient!" Future Buddha shook his head.
"Yes!"
At this moment, the patrolling Senior Brother suddenly barged in.
"Hmm?" The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas frowned.
"Whoosh!"
The Senior Brother was pulled to the front of Future Buddha by a huge force in the blink of an eye.
"Greetings, Future Buddha!" The Senior Brother immediately said.
"What happened?" Future Buddha asked in a deep voice.
"Reporting to Future Buddha, someone from the north wants to see the Present Buddha. He said that he's from the Daikon State Holy Court!" The Senior Brother said.
"Oh?" Future Buddha raised his eyebrows.
Future Buddha naturally knew about the Daikon State Holy Court. Could it be that the Present Buddha had invited someone from the Daikon State Holy Court to come at this time?
"I don't know …!" The Senior Brother looked at Future Buddha.
Future Buddha's expression changed slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, don't worry about this. I'll handle it!"
The Senior Brother suddenly looked up with a flash of surprise in his eyes. The person who came was obviously looking for the Present Buddha. You're going to handle it?
"Yes!" The Senior Brother could only nod.
Next, Future Buddha, seated on his golden lotus, suddenly soared into the sky and flew towards the north.
The Senior Brother was about to chase after him, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to stay.
Future Buddha told him not to worry about it, but the Senior Brother felt that he had to tell the Present Buddha about it. And so, he stayed.
After Future Buddha left, the other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas didn't care at all. They continued to watch the battle between the Present Buddha and the Past Buddha.
Half a day passed, but Future Buddha still hadn't returned.
A day passed, but Future Buddha still hadn't returned?
A day and a half passed, but Future Buddha still hadn't returned.
The Senior Brother's heart was in turmoil.
"BOOM!!!!"
With a loud explosion, the Present Buddha and the Past Buddha in the valley collided, and their battle came to a halt.
"Again!" Lord Buddha bellowed.
"Come!" The Buddha of the Past replied.
"Reporting to Present Buddha!" The Senior Brother immediately called out.
"Hm?" Present Buddha Zhong Tian raised his eyebrows.
"In the north, there are guests from the Holy Court of Daikon State. They say they are looking for you. Future Buddha went there, and after a day and a half, he still hasn't returned!" The Senior Brother immediately said.
"Daikon State's Holy Court?" Zhong Tian's expression changed.
"Let's not fight today. Let's talk after someone comes!" Zhong Tian immediately said.
Putting away the Eleventh Stage Golden Lotus, he flew out.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were slightly surprised, and then flew out as well. Past Buddha thought for a moment, then flew out as well.
The experts of Sublime Chord Temple all flew towards the north.
Daikon State's Holy Court? Zhong Tian's heart was filled with excitement, but at the same time, he was somewhat worried. Future Buddha had gone? What was he going to do? He was too petty. Was he that kind of person?
In order to prevent the people of Daikon State from being wronged, Zhong Tian flew over as fast as he could. But when he neared, he gasped slightly.
"Ah, dao friend, let's talk things out. Don't fight anymore! Ah! "
"Rumble!"
"Dang, dang, dang …!"
… … …
… … …
… …
In the center, Golden Roc, Butcher Blade, Netherblue, and Xian Xian had surrounded Future Buddha. Golden Roc, Butcher Blade, and Netherblue were in charge of protecting him, allowing Emperor Xian Xian to hit Future Buddha's head again and again with her hammer.
The hammer hit Future Buddha's head with a resounding thud.
Four against one, Future Buddha had been beaten up for the entire day. The great Zu Xian had lost all face. Seeing Zhong Tian fly over, it was as if he had seen his savior.
"Future Buddha, save me!"
"Father!"
Zhong Tian ignored Future Buddha, and instead called out to Zhong Shan in surprise. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
