Buddha passed away in meditation just to let Ye Kong see the process of the Bodhi Tree's completion.
However, while Ye Kong was moved, he was also puzzled.
If the Buddha only wanted to add one more Bodhi tree, then what was the point of letting him see the process of the Bodhi tree being formed?
Besides, there was only one Buddha in each world.
There were currently hundreds of thousands of worlds in the entire chaos. Excluding those that had already been abandoned, collapsed, and were about to perish, there were at most five to six hundred thousand Buddhas. Even if all of them turned into Nirvana Trees, it was still a drop in the bucket for Ye Kong.
What's more, some of the Buddhas in other worlds weren't strong enough, or they weren't willing to sacrifice themselves!
…
Buddha passed away in a sitting posture. The ceremony was complicated, but Ye Kong didn't need to attend it. Master Nengxiu led Ye Kong to the meditation room in the back, and then taught him the last words of Buddha.
"The Buddha said that Bodhi is a respectful title for Buddhist Venerables. Only those who have achieved great enlightenment and great power are called Bodhi! In order to release all living beings from purgatory, to show that all living beings are equal, and to share suffering with all living beings, Subhuti did not need to ascend to become a supreme being … "
"I see." Ye Kong couldn't help but nod.
No wonder there were no Buddhists in the supreme realm. It was because even if the Buddha reached the level of an Honorable, he would not ascend. Instead, he would stay in the lower realm and go through trials and tribulations with the masses to protect them.
At this moment, Neng Xiu said, "There are five levels of Bodhi. The first level is the Bodhi of the Heart, which means the aspiration of the heart to reach the highest level. This is the first level of Bodhi. The second level is the Bodhi of the Heart, which means the subduing of worries and the subduing of one's heart. This is the second level of Bodhi. The third level is the Bodhi of the Clear Mind, which means the state of one's heart.
Hearing this, Ye Kong nodded his head. It turned out that just like Venerables, Great Venerables, Heavenly Venerables (Holy Venerables), and Supreme Venerables, Subhuti also had different levels! They were the Awakening Bodhi, the Tranquil Bodhi, the Enlightened Bodhi, the Awakening Bodhi, and the Supreme Bodhi!
In other words, this Bodhi had the desire to become a Buddha!
Then, Fuxin Bodhi meant that he had conquered his inner heart and possessed the potential to become a Buddha!
The third Enlightened Mind Bodhi was even more powerful. He had achieved true enlightenment and understood his own nature. Not only did he understand his own heart, but he also understood the minds of others!
However, at this point, Neng Xiu wasn't in a hurry to explain the last two. He said, "Our Buddha is the Mingxin Bodhi!"
"So it's already the third level of Bodhi!" Ye Kong nodded to himself. The Gautama Buddha's cultivation level should have already reached the level of an ordinary Quintuple Heavenly Venerate, which had already surpassed him, Ye Kong!
How many people in the world could restrain and kill Buddha? But for the sake of righteousness, Buddha passed away in meditation!
However, speaking of this, Ye Kong was curious about the two more powerful Bodhi Hearts. The latter two should be the experts of Buddhism who surpassed everything, but where were they now?
How strong were they?
Neng Xiu continued, "Different levels of Bodhi will produce different Bodhi trees. The first three levels of Bodhi can only produce one Bodhi tree, but the fourth level of Bodhi can produce ten to a hundred Bodhi trees! "
Ye Kong's eyes narrowed. "So it can be like this. Then the fifth level of Supreme Bodhi, can it produce thousands of Bodhi trees?"
"Yes." Neng Xiu nodded. "Supreme Bodhi is the supreme existence of Buddhism. One person can save thousands of people!"
When Ye Kong heard this, he could not help but smile bitterly.
"Supreme Bodhi is the supreme existence. In the entire chaos, there are hundreds of thousands of worlds. How many Supreme Bodhi are there? Moreover, they have cultivated for a few eras. I, Ye Kong, can't possibly go to them one by one and persuade them to pass away in meditation, right? "
Neng Xiu continued, "But above Supreme Bodhi, there is one more thing!"
"There is one more thing?" Ye Kong's eyes lit up.
"That's right!" Neng Xiu said, "The Buddha said in the ancient books of Buddhism that the first Buddha came from the Bodhi Heart! So as long as we find the Bodhi Heart, there will be more Bodhi trees and more Bodhi fruits! "
"Bodhi Heart! That means the ancestor of Bodhi is more powerful than Supreme Bodhi? " Ye Kong was shocked. He pondered for a while, then looked up and asked, "Is the Bodhi Heart a person or an object? And where is it?"
"The Buddha left a message saying that the Bodhi Heart is neither a thing nor an object. It is hidden at the bottom of chaos and can only be obtained by those with great wisdom and ability!"
Ye Kong asked again, "Then why did the Buddha let me see the process of him passing away in meditation and becoming a Bodhi tree? What is the connection with the Bodhi Heart?"
At this point, Neng Xiu had nothing else to say. He passed the scroll in his hand to Ye Kong and said, "There's nothing else. The Buddha Ancestor only said that all the Buddhas in the world would do their best to help, and nothing else."
"How can this be? Then where can I find the Bodhi Heart? " Ye Kong quickly took the scroll and read it with a frown. Indeed, apart from what Neng Xiu had said, there was no other clue.
"Fine, this matter can't be rushed. I'll attend the ceremony to bid farewell to the Buddha first."
The tenth Buddha Ancestor passed away in meditation and turned into a Bodhi tree that looked like a rainbow pillar. Other than that, there were several sparkling and translucent sarira crystals. He collected these sarira crystals and placed them in a sarira pagoda in the Buddha Realm that reached straight to the heavens.
Then, the successor of the new Buddha was announced. Yimu became the eleventh Buddha.
Ye Kong was not in a hurry to leave. He settled all the matters here before leaving this world.
The light and shadow around him flew by. Ye Kong quickly left this world and the attraction of chaos.
As he flew, he opened his right hand. In his palm, there was a seven-colored straight tree trunk that was emitting a magnificent halo!
"The Bodhi tree. So it was formed by a Buddhist Supremacy. But where is the Bodhi Heart?"
Not long after, Ye Kong had broken free from the restriction of chaos, and he saw Barefoot flying in his direction.
"It doesn't matter where the bodhi heart is. Only by making myself stronger can I live up to everyone's expectations!" With these thoughts in mind, Ye Kong gripped the seven-colored bodhi tree tightly and flew towards Barefoot Great Monarch.
"Hey, Ye Kong, are you a mushroom? Why are you always so slow?" Great Monarch Barefoot said in a dissatisfied tone.
Ye Kong said, "The Dai Jun World is the world I ascended to. There are many friends and acquaintances there. Of course I have to delay for some time. I won't be so slow in the future."
Barefoot Venerable said, "Then hurry, hurry. By the time you arrive, several batches of experts will have passed by. If we're any slower, we won't even get a share of the soup!"
Ye Kong said, "Then you can snatch it from them!"
Barefoot Venerable and Ye Kong flew away, and Barefoot Venerable sighed. "We're all friends of the Heavenly Venerable Gate, so we have to care about our face! But with you around, it's different. You don't need to care about face, you can fight, kill, and snatch! In the future, if it's inconvenient for me, you'll fight, and if it's inconvenient for you, I'll fight. This is called helping each other, taking what we need! "
Ye Kong was stunned. "No wonder you've been waiting for me. So this is what you're planning. F * ck your ancestors, you're too cunning!"
