Chapter 396: The Emergence of the Buddha World, Shaking the Buddha Country! (Part 1)
Chapter 396: The Emergence of the Buddha World, Shaking the Buddha Country! (Part 1)
As they passed by Jiupanshan Mountain, the once lush landscapes had long since turned desolate.
The scenes of enlightenment from the past were nowhere to be seen.
Instead, Qi Yuan, accompanied by Jin Sichue and Ning Tao, arrived just as a rain shower began to fall.
This rain was just like those from the old days.
Back then, Jin Sichue held a banana leaf to shelter Qi Yuan, who was in the form of a blood pearl, from the rain.
Jin Sichue got soaked and even sneezed.
Qi Yuan, being considerate, used a bit of his divine art to start a fire for warmth.
However, he accidentally set Jin Sichue's tail on fire.
This incident left the beauty-conscious Jin Sichue fuming with anger.
Now, the rain fell once more, and this time, all three of them were getting drenched together.
Ning Tao gazed at Qi Yuan and Jin Sichue, and a hint of affectionate longing flashed in her beautiful eyes.
At present, Qi Yuan was constantly seeking alms, and he had acquired nearly a hundred divine arts, each as powerful as a stellar golden core.
A single divine art was equivalent to a stellar golden core.
Currently, ten suns hung in the sky, exuding formidable power, but Ning Tao understood the strength of Qi Yuan's adversaries.
For her husband, every additional stellar golden core he condensed would significantly enhance his strength.
To absorb a new stellar core, she had to focus her entire being.
As she looked at Qi Yuan and the exuberant Jin Sichue, she made a decision.
"The world may change, but as long as we control the power of time, we can return to the past."
Ning Tao extended her delicate jade-like hand, and in that moment, the power of the Divine Domain was unleashed.
The once barren Jiupanshan Mountain suddenly burst into springtime vitality.
Banana trees sprouted lush green leaves, red flowers bloomed, and streams flowed through the valleys.
Moss covered the rocks, and green vines entwined the trees.
The scene before them was just as it had been in the beginning.
The only things missing were the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate and the insects.
"It's just like before, except for the absence of sentient beings with spiritual wisdom," Qi Yuan remarked, as memories of the past flooded his mind.
At that moment, a banana leaf appeared above his head, held by Jin Sichue, whose face had turned crimson. "Isn't it better without other living creatures? We can do whatever we want..."
As she spoke, she secretly grabbed Qi Yuan's sleeve, her starry eyes filled with anticipation, and her long eyelashes fluttered.
"It's daytime now..."
Jin Sichue tugged at Qi Yuan's sleeve, leading him towards her former home.
The petite and delicate Jin Sichue resembled a fairy from a flower garden.
Ning Tao approached, a smile in her eyes, her black dress exuding both elegance and allure. "Didn't you say that rainy days are best for sleeping?"
Jin Sichue blinked her eyes playfully, speaking with a hint of mischief. "It's two against one. The minority must obey the majority. You can't resist!"
"You're being a bit unsportsmanlike!"
The rain fell steadily, sometimes pouring heavily, creating a day filled with both intoxication and drowsiness.
Qi Yuan, once again, found himself believing that rainy days were indeed perfect for sleeping.
However, it seemed that many occasions were suitable for a nap.
...
Time passed, and three months later, for cultivators, it was merely a brief moment.
Guiqi City, located at the heart of the Windflow Realm, was the most prosperous and flourishing place in the entire realm.
Its name, derived from the 'Gui' of 'No Return City' and the 'Qi' of Qi Yuan, held a special significance.
However, few people in later generations knew the origin of this city's name.
The current Guiqi City was bustling with people, and the radiance of the Buddha shone brightly.
From a distance, one might mistake it for the 'Clever' City.
Where there are three people, there will be one bald head.
This Great Buddha Assembly, held in Guiqi City, was the most significant event in the Windflow Realm in ten thousand years.
Of course, there was more to it than that.
This event was also related to the fate of the Fivefold Heavens, the Buddha's Holy Land, and its potential unification.
It could be said that this Great Buddha Assembly attracted not only many Buddha sons from the upper realms.
Even the Sixfold Heavens had their eyes on the Windflow Realm, eagerly awaiting its outcome.
This seemingly small Great Buddha Assembly held the key to the future direction of the Buddha's Holy Land.
The No Light Buddha, clad in a monk's robe, stood amidst the Buddha's light, and anyone who saw him couldn't help but feel as if they had encountered a young Buddha.
Ling Yayi, standing beside him, was dressed in a human-like manner, his head shaved clean, making him look even more mischievous and carefree.
Just then, a voice rang out, "No Light Buddha, the person you're looking for seems rather ordinary."
A bald female Buddha, clad in a loose white monk's robe that exposed her chest, strode over with large strides.
Beside her stood a taciturn bald elder.
Ling Yayi's gaze immediately focused on the elder, "Hey, Old Fool, since you shaved your head, you've become more handsome than this young one."
This taciturn elder was none other than the Foolish Daoist.
"This new person you found is no good. He has no Buddha nature, no courage, and only lustful thoughts. If he wants to look, let him look!" The female Buddha spoke, deliberately pulling her robe open a bit.
Ling Yayi's face turned crimson, and he was momentarily speechless, feeling a bit deflated.
Not only had he been caught peeping, but he also wanted to help the Foolish Daoist get revenge by using a shadow stone to record this bald female Buddha.
"Purple Light Buddha Girl, lacking in Buddha nature, but possessing the power of reincarnation, is enough," the No Light Buddha spoke, his voice clear and stern.
The Purple Light Buddha Girl smiled and said, "The power of reincarnation is indeed the boundless mantra of our Buddha. But who knows if they have the enlightenment to comprehend it."
"If they can comprehend it, the endless battles of the Buddha's land may come to a halt."
A Buddha son approached, his demeanor dignified and holy, representing another Holy Land.
Each Holy Land had at least one True Buddha guarding it, a Yang Immortal.
There were nearly a hundred Holy Lands in the Buddha's land, making it incredibly chaotic.
"In the beginning, the Great Sun Radiant Buddha comprehended the 'Great Sun Tathagata' boundless mantra and gained the recognition of the Creation Treasure Buddha Country, thus unifying the Buddha's land.
How difficult was this!" exclaimed a female Buddha, her attire much more conservative.
"The boundless mantra at the pinnacle of the Buddha's land is too difficult to comprehend. If one can understand it, they can prove themselves as a True Buddha and even have the hope of becoming the ruler of the Ninefold Heavens!"
The Buddha's land of the Ninefold Heavens originated from the Creation Treasure Buddha Country.
In this Buddha Country, the boundless mantra was inscribed.
These mantras were also considered supreme treasures by the Buddha's disciples.
Understanding even a fraction of them would bring immense benefits.
Among them, the most complex and profound boundless mantra, inscribed at the pinnacle of the Buddha's land. It was said that comprehending even a portion of it could lead to reaching the Ninefold Heavens and becoming its ruler.
At the pinnacle of the highest peak, the boundless mantra was inscribed, containing words like "Reincarnation," "Meru," "Karma," "Merit," "Great Sun Buddha," "Past," "Present," and "Future."
Among these, only the "Great Sun Buddha" had been comprehended by a Buddha Son, while the rest remained unattained by any Buddha.
These boundless mantras might seem simple.
For instance, regarding "Karma," anyone who reaches the Yang God realm would understand a bit of karma. Yet, no true Buddha has ever truly grasped it.
Similarly, "Past" and "Present" are somewhat similar to how a Yang God cuts off their past self and forms their present self.
But they are entirely different.
Especially "Future," for the true Buddhas of Buddha Country, it is considered an illusion.
After all, in the Ninefold Heavens, all Yang God Venerables know that there is no future in the Ninefold Heavens.
Hence, a Yang God can sever their past self and solidify their present self, but they cannot solidify a future self.
If it weren't for Great Sun Radiant Buddha's enlightenment of the "Great Sun Buddha" boundless mantra, all true Buddhas might even consider the boundless mantras recorded at the pinnacle of Buddha Kingdom as illusions, fundamentally impossible to comprehend.
Today, with the incessant battles in Buddha Kingdom, no one can match Great Sun Radiant Buddha in comprehending the boundless mantra at the peak.
Now, with the emergence of someone possessing the power of reincarnation, many sacred sites in Buddha Kingdom are in turmoil, causing the Northern Demon Thirteen to seize control and help him become a Holy Buddha Son.
"Speaking of the power of reincarnation, I'm even more curious about that Bloodmaster." A Buddha Son in a monk's robe spoke up, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"It's a pity, that Bloodmaster has bad luck.
He was originally destined to obtain the power of reincarnation.
But, his fate with Buddha is too deep, and he also gained the Great Sun Lotus." The Purple Lotus Buddha Maiden spoke with regret.
Sometimes, fate is about finding the right balance.
Having the power of reincarnation is a blessing, and one can be nurtured as a Buddha Son.
But possessing the Great Sun Lotus is a different matter.
The Great Sun Lotus is the treasure of Buddha Kingdom.
Several times, the Caohua Buddha Kingdom has faced the risk of losing control, and the sacred sites of Buddha Kingdom have almost fallen from the Fivefold Heavens.
Therefore, the Great Sun Lotus must be separated and returned to Buddha Kingdom, where it belongs.
Even if the Bloodmaster has the power of reincarnation, he may still be unable to forge a connection with the path of Buddha due to his deep fate with Buddha.
This is the consequence of an overly deep connection.
Ling Yayi's desire to compete for the position of Holy Buddha Son stems from his wish to have the true Buddha remove the Great Sun Lotus gently.
"What a pity, such a legendary figure, ending up like this." A Buddha Son sighed.
"Hmph, a mere legend of the lower realm, not worth mentioning." A young novice monk couldn't help but speak up.
"Apple, you've given in to anger." A Buddha Son warned.
The young novice monk quickly clasped his palms together, his face showing a hint of guilt.
"The true Buddha sits in the Fivefold Heavens, watching over us. The Great Assembly of Ten Thousand Buddhas is about to begin. Let us return to our positions." No Light Buddha Son spoke, his voice solemn.
The other Buddha Sons nodded in agreement.
At that moment, a vast Buddha sound echoed from above.
In Guichi City, the Buddha sound reverberated, and the Buddha light shone like an ocean.
All cultivators in their hearts felt the urge to bow and worship.
The sacred Buddha light illuminated them, warm and gentle.
"The Great Assembly of Ten Thousand Buddhas, commence!"
Only those who were semi-Buddhas or had profound understanding of Buddha Law could grasp the terror hidden in these six words.
This was... the words of a true Buddha.
With a single word, countless lives could be extinguished.
One could even say that if this true Buddha wished, he could instantly annihilate all life in the Flowing Wind Realm.
A stream of flowing light flashed by, and the sacred light of Buddha enveloped everything.
In such an environment, mortals could be immune to all ailments.
At this moment, shadows of illusions also appeared.
All disciples of Buddha showed their respect.
On the Guichi City, ninety-seven Buddhas sat in the void.
These Buddhas were mythical powerhouses, each representing a sacred site of Buddha Kingdom!
"We pay our respects to the Bodhisattvas!"
Mythical, they were called the mirrors of the heavens.
The Buddha Sons and future achievements of those present might only reach this level!
"Ceremony concluded, enter the Buddha Pagoda, observe the boundless mantra, debate the mysteries of Buddha, discuss the treasures of Buddha!"
The white-browed Bodhisattva's voice was filled with compassion, soothing to the soul, like that of a great Buddha.
"As you wish."
No Light Buddha Son waved his sleeve and ascended into the sky.
Ling Yayi's expression was filled with worry as he scanned the surroundings, but he couldn't find that familiar figure.
The rest of the Northern Demon Thirteen were also searching for the Bloodmaster, but to no avail.
Disappointed, he stepped into the Buddha Pagoda.
At that moment, in a corner of Guichi City, Chen Huan's gaze was also searched, as if looking for someone.
Kunxia Daoist narrowed his eyes, observing the Bodhisattvas above, a hint of apprehension in his eyes. He suppressed his aura, ensuring his presence remained unnoticed.
Meanwhile, a puppet had been prepared, waiting for the Bloodmaster to appear and seize the opportunity to control him.
The Bodhisattvas above scanned the area with their spiritual senses, searching for the Bloodmaster.
Upon learning of the Bloodmaster's appearance, Buddha Kingdom sent semi-Buddhas to find him, but unfortunately, they couldn't locate his trace.
Now, the Bloodmaster had mentioned attending the Great Assembly of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
But even now, his figure remained unseen.
Of course, they couldn't see him because their strength was insufficient.
At that moment, a hand landed on Chen Huan's shoulder.
"Not bad, after a few years, you've hidden your Yin God. It's me, Qi Yuan." A figure in a blood-red robe appeared, his eyes carrying a hint of joy.
Later, after a night of passion with Ning Tao and Golden Sparrow, Ning Tao returned to the Stellar Golden Core, using divine methods to capture new stars for the Stellar Golden Core chapter.
He traveled throughout the Flowing Wind Realm, searching for the whereabouts of the Myriad Wonders Gate.
Or he sat in solitude, perfecting the Qi Yuan Scripture.
Now, with the Great Assembly of Ten Thousand Buddhas commencing, he had come alone.
"Big... Brother!" Chen Huan exclaimed, his voice trembling as he turned around.
This familiar voice, this familiar face, and this mischievous tone could only belong to his senior brother!
However, Chen Huan had seen something, and he quickly spoke up, "Senior brother, you should leave. I just saw Foolish Daoist, and he pointed a finger at me!"
This finger was a prearranged signal between Chen Huan and Foolish Daoist.
It meant danger... and to flee! Chen Huan was unaware that the Buddha Kingdom was currently searching for Bloodmaster.
But Foolish Daoist's gesture meant for him to run! Although Chen Huan had always trusted Qi Yuan's abilities, the situation had changed.
These half-buddhas, bodhisattvas, and true buddhas of the Buddha Kingdom were each a proud existence in their own small worlds.
"Oh, why run? I'm here to ask these single dogs for alms." Qi Yuan's expression was relaxed.
Hearing this familiar tone, Chen Huan's heart settled, but he still suggested, "Should we leave first?"
At this moment, Kunxia Daoist narrowed his eyes, looking for an opportunity.
"Don't worry, I often ask for alms, and these single dogs are very generous. Every time, I return with a full load!" Qi Yuan said happily.
He felt that asking for alms was better than borrowing money.
When borrowing money, one had to worry about repayment and consider how much money others had.
But asking for alms was different.
How dare you say that our connection is shallow?
I'll sit here and not leave!
"Huh?" Chen Huan was a little dazed. "Are these half-buddhas so easy to talk to?"
A look of surprise flashed through Kunxia Daoist's eyes, unsure of the reason. He always felt that Bloodmaster's behavior was somewhat strange.
"Of course, they're easy to talk to." Qi Yuan smiled mysteriously. "Moreover, I came prepared today. I've brought a grand gift for the Buddha Kingdom, hehe..."
Chen Huan was half-convinced, "Senior brother, why don't you make a plan for asking for alms?"
Although his senior brother's plans were often unreliable, Chen Huan felt even less confident without a plan.
