Lou Xiaoyi wandered in the space of the Small Sumeru Realm, as if he had really become a monk!
In these hundred years, it had played a crucial role in his growth in the Buddhist Dao Realm! He did not care about the path of others, but he knew his own path very well.
He had his own sources of information about the bamboo hat and the Wuhua Celestial Mountain in the Interior Realm. After hearing about it, he just laughed. Qing Xuan and the others had gone too far, but everything was not settled yet. It was too early to talk about success or failure!
Everyone's path was very special. He never envied others, and he did not regret if he was in the Interior Realm. That position was actually his!
Just like what Yan Chen said, what was there to fight for in the Tao state of an immortal who was first eliminated by the Heavenly Dao? He did not underestimate himself!
That was his pride! It was also the goal he set for himself! All the masters of the Immortals in the Interior Realm were Man Immortals and True Immortals. There was not even a single Golden Immortal. He could not give up his own path for these ordinary immortals. To him, staying in the Small Sumeru Realm was obviously more important!
Never underestimate others, and never underestimate yourself! This was his belief. For these Great Buddhas who might never have the chance to take a step forward, they might be lacking in epiphany, but their deep accumulation in the Tao state of Buddhism was incomparable to any other Buddhist world in the universe.
Not only was it profound, but it was also broad and inclusive. Here, he could find any senior monk in the Tao state, without missing out!
The issue of a Swordsman having an academic exchange in a sacred place of Buddhism was not like what the ordinary people imagined. They were like water and fire, incompatible with each other!
This was related to the level of the realm. The so-called exchange between different orthodoxies in the middle and lower realms was laughable. They were still immersed in the path of techniques and were far from Dao. But it was different when they reached the Yuanying level. They had the foundation to discuss Dao.
However, it was the right of a half-immortal to go to a different realm and enter Buddhism alone. They had already broken through the shackles of the cultivation world of the main world and could discuss Dao as friends. They were no longer bound by the traditional rules and regulations.
They were the highest level of cultivators that the cultivators of the Origin World could come into contact with. Any higher and the Immortals would not come down to discuss the Dao with you!
Therefore, this was actually a two-way exchange. Lou Xiaoyi could get what he wanted in the Buddhist Dao Realm, but the Great Buddhas of the Origin World also had the opportunity to come into contact with the thoughts of a half-immortal. Just like how half-immortals longed to see immortals ascend to immortality, the Great Buddhas also longed to communicate with half-immortals.
Under such a premise, both sides were in different celestial spheres and there was no direct threat of competition. The entire process of communication became natural, and there was little to hide. Lou Xiaoyi had also solidified the foundations of several Buddhist Dao realms in the past hundred years. He was only waiting for the Shard of Dao to make the final upgrade.
Not only did he come into contact with the Tao state of Buddhism, but he also came into contact with the life of Buddhism. This was determined by his unique philosophy. If you want to see all the thirty-six Great Daos, you can't treat Buddhism as your enemy! Perhaps he could go against a certain monk or a certain Buddhist sect, but he could not go against the entire Buddhist sect. It was just like how he belonged to the Daoist sect, but he had killed many Daoists.
He had to maintain a balance. The Daoist sect was the main sect, but the Buddhist sect was also indispensable!
Now that he had completed the exchange of Dao realms in the Small Sumeru Realm, he could leave.
Handsfree had gone to the Interior Heaven and would not be back for some time. He needed to bid farewell to these Buddhas. They might not be friends, but they could be called true Daoists. There was no need to draw a clear line between the Great Dao and the Primordial Dao. Only when you understood this would you have the breadth of mind to reach a higher level.
Monk Nine Annihilation had a fat head and big ears. He looked like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Lord Lou, you have been preaching in the Small Sumeru Realm for the past hundred years. You have broadened our horizons and we have learned a lot. Now that we are parting, I can't believe you are reluctant to part. As a Daoist, you are the first person to make the Small Sumeru Realm feel this way! "
Lou Xiaoyi was very polite. "The Small Sumeru Realm is indeed a Buddhist sacred world. I admire its open-minded attitude. Learning is mutual, how can there be such a thing as who teaches who? But the hundred years in the Small Sumeru Realm was the most peaceful time of my cultivation experience. As a Swordsman, it is really surprising that there is such a peaceful environment in the Buddhist world … "
Monk Nine Annihilation laughed. "It depends on the person! Not everyone can receive the same treatment as Lord Lou! "
What he said was right. Academic exchanges also had to be of equal value. If a Daoist who was proficient in the Daoist Dao Realm came here, there wouldn't be much meaning in the exchange. You talked about virtues, I talked about the Five Elements, you talked about nirvana, I talked about slaughter, you talked about nirvana, I talked about thunder. It was like a chicken talking to a duck. Perhaps both sides would gain something, but they definitely wouldn't go too deep. This was because these were different Great Dao systems and there was no way to compare them!
Lou Xiaoyi was different. He had his own direction of study in the Buddhist Dao Realm. He had his own path of study in the Buddhist Dao Realm. He had a deep understanding of karma, samsara, impermanence, and the other Buddhist Dao Realms. Thus, he had the possibility of further study.
And it was precisely because he was proficient in the Buddhist Dao Realm that many Great Buddhas were proficient in. This caused the monks of the Small Sumeru Realm to feel as if they were on the same path as him! You said that you had good intentions towards Buddhism, but why? How could they believe you? But if you were proficient in several Buddhist Great Daos, then there was no need to say anything. The monks would naturally treat you as one of their own!
The Great Dao wouldn't lie!
Once such a person ascended to a high position, his attitude towards Buddhism would definitely not be biased! Considering that the Sword Vein was also a Dao tradition that was suppressed and ostracized by the Daoist Sect, very few people in the Small Sumeru Realm hid anything from him. This was a happy and honest exchange experience.
"This junior will remember this trip to the Small Sumeru Realm. If there is a chance in the future, perhaps there will be a chance for our two sects to work together …"
Nine Annihilation sighed. "In the main world, this is all! Lord Lou, you have been here for a hundred years. You should know that the Small Sumeru Realm's attitude towards the cultivation world is different from that of the Great Sage Heavens! We have the same ideals and are in different celestial spheres. There won't be many chances for us to cross paths in the future!
This old monk only hopes that when Lord Lou soars to the heavens in the future, you won't forget this experience in the Small Sumeru Realm!
The Daoists and Buddhists are not all impenetrable walls. Living together is eternal. Fighting is venting. Once everyone is done venting, we will still have to live together. "
Lou Xiaoyi nodded. This old monk was very insightful. He was also very precise about his own position. He did not ask for anything in return. He just wanted to form good karma. In the changing of eras, this kind of good karma was more important than anything else!
This was not a paradise. There were all kinds of troubles. The reason why he did not ask for help was because he wanted to use this favor at the most critical moment. This was a true virtuous senior monk.
Not just for the Small Sumeru Realm, but for the entire Buddhist Sect!
But did he think too highly of Lou Xiaoyi?
