This time, one of the Great Path Emperors from the Nine Heavens was Emperor Yao.
The name of Emperor Yao might be unfamiliar to ordinary cultivators in the Great Wilderness. He might not be as famous as some of the Great Path Star Lords.
This was because Emperor Yao had fallen into a deep slumber since the Archean Era and rarely moved outside. Even when he appeared, it was mostly in his incarnation.
However.
For some of the experienced and knowledgeable seniors, the existence of the Luminous Emperor was absolutely supreme.
During the Great War of the Immortals and Demons, Emperor Yao was one of the commanders of the Nine Heavens. If Emperor Yao had not led the immortals to suppress the demons, the Nine Heavens today would not be as peaceful as it was now.
Emperor Yao had a very glorious past. The most legendary thing was that he turned into the sun and illuminated the Nine Underworlds, frightening all demons and ghosts.
Legend had it that Emperor Yao was the first existence to make the sun shine. It was unprecedented.
It was said that the Demon Path was forced to submit to the Immortal Path because of Emperor Yao's power. Some people said that Emperor Yao was one of the greatest contributors to the Immortal Path's domination of the world.
It was also because of this that Emperor Yao had a very high prestige in the Nine Heavens. Many cultivators in the Nine Heavens, including the Great Wilderness and the Blessed Enclave, followed Emperor Yao's lead. He had countless followers, including Great Emperors, Sovereigns, Star Lords, and other Heavenly Mandate.
For example, the famous Great Emperor Five Mountains was a follower of Emperor Yao.
The Eight Sovereigns in the Nine Heavens were also under Emperor Yao.
Was that all?
No.
In addition, most of the famous Big Dipper and the 36 Big Dipper Stars were under Emperor Yao.
Even Mad Monk Daxing, who was an existence of the Archean Era in his previous life and was known as the Living Buddha after reincarnation, did not dare to say that he had any chance of winning against Emperor Yao because he knew that if there was anyone in the Nine Heavens who could be called the Incarnation of the Great Sun, it must be Emperor Yao.
Other things aside, the Great Sun Pagoda in Emperor Yao's hand alone was enough to frighten many existences in the Nine Heavens.
"This is only the Immortal Path of the Nine Heavens. Many people from the Western Heaven have come back. Those who should come and those who shouldn't have come have come. Those who should have woken up have also woken up. Although most of them won't pose any threat to you, there are a few that you must be careful of."
Mad Monk Daxing mentioned a few names. One was the Great Tibetan Buddha, another was the Little Thousand Buddha, and the last was the Lotus Buddha.
Gu Qingfeng had more or less heard of these names. They were the legends of Buddhism in Western Heaven and the representatives of the Eight Sects of Buddhism. They were also famous in the Great Wilderness in various eras. Each of them could be said to have great magical powers and boundless Buddhist doctrine.
After saying this, Mad Monk Daxing stopped and stared at Gu Qingfeng, saying, "The biggest threat to you in the Western Heaven is not them, but Wonderful Rulai!"
After hearing this name, Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but slightly frown as he asked: "Is it the legendary Buddhist Emperor of the Western Heaven, Marvelous Rulai?"
"That's him."
"This fellow has also recovered?"
"What do you think?"
"Looks like it's going to be quite lively this time."
The corners of Gu Qingfeng's mouth curled into an inexplicable smile. His memory had always been bad, especially when it came to irrelevant people and things. He would quickly forget about many legendary almighty people after hearing about them. Only a few people had left a deep impression on Gu Qingfeng.
The Buddhist Emperor of the Western Heaven was one of them.
He had never seen Marvelous Rulai before, not to mention his true body, not even his avatar. The reason why he had such a deep impression of this name was because of a tablet in the Nine Underworlds.
This tablet was called the Nine Yin Tablet. It was said that it had already existed when the Nine Underworlds was created.
The Nine Yin Stele contained the Turbid Aura of Nine Yin. Before the Primordial Era, the demons and ghosts of the Nine Underworlds would come to the Nine Yin Stele from time to time to absorb the Turbid Aura of Nine Yin. As time passed, the Nine Yin Stele became the sacred stele in the hearts of the demons and ghosts of the Nine Underworlds. The Nine Yin Stele might not represent the Nine Underworlds, but when it was mentioned, there was no one who did not know of it.
Unfortunately …
This tablet was broken at the end of the Ancient Era.
Someone had broken it.
And the person who had broken it was the Buddhist Emperor of the Western Heaven, Marvelous Rulai.
Not only had he broken the sacred tablet in the minds of the demons and ghosts of the Nine Underworlds, but he had also carved a few lines on it.
"All demons are ants. The Nine Underworlds Lord is greedy for life and afraid of reincarnation. Cut off all darkness and ascend to the Nine Underworlds. Only I, Marvelous Rulai, am left."
These words could be said to be arrogant.
Not only did he look down on all demons and ghosts, but he also looked down on the Nine Underworlds Lord for being greedy for life and afraid of reincarnation. He even said that he, the Buddhist Emperor of the Western Heaven, was the only one who could cut off all darkness and ascend to the Nine Underworlds.
Gu Qingfeng had always thought that he was arrogant enough, but when he saw the words carved by Marvelous Rulai on the Nine Yin Tablet, he realized that there was always someone better out there. Not only did he kill his way into the Nine Underworlds and cut off the sacred tablet in everyone's minds, he even used the broken tablet to ridicule and provoke everyone. In truth, although Gu Qingfeng was arrogant and unruly, he still couldn't do such an arrogant thing.
"Daxing, there's one thing I don't understand. Don't you Buddhist cultivators all have compassion and deliver all living beings from torment? I've lived for most of my life, and although I've seen a few Buddhas, they're only a few. Most of them are a bunch of f * cking hypocrites wearing kasayas and chanting Amitabha! "
Mad Monk Daxing shook his head and sighed. "There's no such thing as compassion and delivering all living beings from torment these days …"
"It's fine if they're just sinister hypocrites, but how could there be someone like Marvelous Rulai? I heard that he slaughtered many demons in the Nine Underworlds back then. "
"There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Some Buddhist cultivators go astray as they cultivate … their minds are filled with the thought of eliminating demons and protecting the Dao."
"Eliminating demons and protecting the Dao? I don't understand this even more. Don't you Buddhists believe that all living beings are equal? "
"This …"
In the face of Gu Qingfeng's doubts, Mad Monk Daxing opened his mouth to speak but hesitated. In the end, he didn't refute and only sighed. "Little Guy Gu, there are some things that you should keep to yourself. I'm a Buddhist cultivator after all, so it's not good for me to say them out loud. In short, Buddha and Devil are relative. Buddha is Devil and Devil is Buddha. A Buddha can become a Devil with a thought, and a Devil can become a Buddha with a thought."
"The Buddhist Emperor of the Western Heaven, Marvelous Rulai …" Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin and smiled. "This time, I have to meet this lord no matter what."
"Marvelous Rulai is indeed a little arrogant."
"A little arrogant? His deeds aren't just a little arrogant, are they? "
"You're talking about how Marvelous Rulai broke the Nine Yin Stele, right? Actually, how should I put it? Marvelous Rulai didn't really want to look down on the Nine Underworlds. He just wanted to compete with the Luminous Emperor. "
"The Luminous Emperor and Marvelous Rulai have always been fighting both openly and secretly. Back then, the Luminous Emperor caused the sun to bloom in the Nine Underworlds. Marvelous Rulai wasn't convinced, so he broke the Nine Yin Stele to compete with the Luminous Emperor."
