Who Is the Buddha?

Buddhist chanting appeared.

Lu Changsheng's voice was extremely calm, but when he recited this scripture...

The golden light of Buddha filled the sky, instantly transforming into a fine rain that showered down upon the entire Buddhist realm.

The golden light of Buddha's light washes away all filth. This light awakens wisdom, helps people understand the truth, and strengthens their resolve to attain enlightenment.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

The Buddhist bell rang, and before Lu Changsheng could finish reciting the Buddhist scriptures, the bell had already rung nine times.

Above the entire Great Thunder Ancient Temple, countless rays of Buddhist light converged. Every word Lu Changsheng uttered condensed into Buddhist words, which then gathered in the Azure Sky.

On the ground, golden lotus flowers emerged one after another, and in each golden lotus sat an Ancient Buddha, accompanying Lu Changsheng as he recited this scripture.

This is the Diamond Sutra, also known as the Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra, which is the supreme scripture in Buddhism.

The fact that all Buddhist teachings and supreme wisdom originate from this sutra is sufficient proof of the Diamond Sutra's unparalleled excellence.

It can be called a supreme treasure of Buddhism and the core essence of Mahayana Buddhism.

The chanting of scriptures caused the heavens to tremble and the entire Buddhist realm to shake.

The ancient temples swayed, and the Buddha Shadow appeared in the sky above them, resonating with them.

The entire Buddhist realm heard Lu Changsheng's chanting.

Countless Buddhas sang in unison, and layer upon layer of Buddha light, like a vast ocean, submerged everything in the Buddhist realm.

People realized this, and one by one, they revealed expressions of enlightenment.

Inside the Great Thunder Ancient Temple.

The eminent monks were deeply shocked; they had never heard of such scriptures before.

This is like the Buddha himself appearing to answer the questions of the world.

The ancient scriptures shook the entire Buddhist community.

Upon hearing the Diamond Sutra again, the Divine Monk Jialan was stunned. But in an instant, he sat cross-legged on the ground and listened attentively to the Divine Monk Jialan Diamond Sutra.

Previously, Nanming Liuli and Bodhi Wisdom recited Buddhist scriptures, which were quite good and represented the supreme Dharma. However, the Divine Monk Jialan did not show any fluctuations because he also had his own supreme Dharma.

However, Lu Changsheng's Buddhist teachings immediately gave the Divine Monk Jialan a sense of enlightenment.

At this moment, almost all cultivators in the Buddhist realm sat cross-legged on the ground. Some, who were fighting, actually put everything down after hearing this Buddhist scripture, sat cross-legged on the ground, and listened attentively to this Buddhist sound.

The sound of Buddhist chants spread throughout the world, and not only human cultivators, but also some beasts and birds listened quietly to this Buddhist teaching.

Many wild beasts have thus come to their senses and awakened their wisdom.

This shows how terrifying the Diamond Sutra is.

Even Nanming Liuli and Bodhi Wisdom were stunned after sensing this supreme scripture.

To them, Lu Changsheng was their rival, and no matter how good Lu Changsheng's Buddhist teachings were, they could not listen to them.

But the Diamond Sutra was so extraordinary that they had to sit down and listen attentively to this Buddhist teaching.

The two sat down cross-legged and listened attentively to Lu Changsheng's Buddhist teachings.

At this moment, the entire Buddhist realm fell silent.

Apart from Lu Changsheng's voice, there was no other sound.

Lu Changsheng's voice was like the sound of Buddha, and all things in heaven and earth fell silent.

And so it went on for three days and three nights.

The Diamond Sutra alone was not enough for Lu Changsheng to recite for three days and three nights. Lu Changsheng shared some of his ideas in order to help all people in the world understand them better.

Finally, the recitation of the Diamond Sutra was completed.

In an instant, countless cultivators in the entire Buddhist realm attained enlightenment, and within the Great Thunder Ancient Temple, millions of Buddhist cultivators awakened, their cultivation levels skyrocketing.

Tens of thousands of immortal cultivators directly broke through to the realm of immortal saints.

Fifteen immortal cultivators directly entered the realm of Immortal King.

Golden lotuses, auspicious beasts, Buddha's light, and glazed tiles shone upon the Great Thunder Ancient Temple, creating a peaceful and auspicious Pure Land World, as if it had transformed into a paradise.

And within the Great Thunder Ancient Temple.

A figure slowly appeared in the distance.

"Amitabha, I never imagined that this person's Buddhist teachings were so profound. He was even able to recite the Great Scripture of Buddhism. If he were to travel to the Great Thousand World in the future, with such Buddhist attainments, he would at least be able to attain the Bodhisattva Fruit Position. Amitabha, it is a pity that this humble monk has a very important matter to attend to, otherwise, I would definitely be able to convert this person."

The figure was staring at Lu Changsheng, his eyes filled with shock.

People didn't understand; they thought Lu Changsheng was merely reciting a Buddhist scripture that had shaken the ages. But he knew what Lu Changsheng's scripture represented.

One can attain the Bodhisattva Fruit Position.

The cultivators of the Six Realms are ignorant and foolish. A single Immortal King dares to call himself Buddha, and an Immortal Emperor dares to consider himself a true Buddha. True Buddhas, true Bodhisattvas, and true Buddhas are all terrifying beings in the Great Thousand World.

But he wouldn't say much, because in his eyes, the beings of the six realms were not even in the same dimension. There was no way to compare an ant to True Dragon.

The six realms were like a grain of sand in his eyes.

That's why he was so shocked when he saw Lu Changsheng, because such a being could exist in a grain of sand.

He was passionate and wanted to convert Lu Changsheng to his disciple. In the future, Lu Changsheng would attain the Bodhisattva Fruit Position, which would be a great opportunity for him.

But he had a matter of utmost importance on his mind, a matter so significant that it could affect the entire Great Thousand World.

So even when faced with such a rare genius, he could only sigh, "We are destined to meet but not to be together."

However, he quickly shook his head and muttered to himself.

"Although she may be a Bodhisattva, it is only a possibility. It does not mean that she will definitely become a Bodhisattva. Moreover, even if she does become a Bodhisattva, it will not be of any use. It will only strengthen the power of the Buddha Mother."

He shook his head and said nothing more.

At the same time.

Above the Azure Sky.

The Heavenly Dao Mark of the Buddhist Realm burst forth with terrifying Buddhist light, like a vast ocean. However, this Buddhist light did not penetrate into Lu Changsheng's body, but instead entered Shan Ting's body directly.

"Ha?"

Lu Changsheng was a little confused. He had been talking for three days and three nights, and all this Buddha light wasn't for him? Why was it all directed at Shan Ting?

Not to mention Lu Changsheng, Shan Ting was also a little confused.

What's going on?

Feeling the boundless Buddha light blessing her body, Shan Ting immediately revealed an expression of immense comfort.

Shan Ting knew that these Buddhist lights were beneficial to him, even extremely beneficial. Among the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts, Shan Ting himself had countless connections with Buddhism, so the Buddhist lights were only beneficial to him and had no harm.

So Shan Ting looked at Lu Changsheng and roared.

"Big brother, don't worry about me. I can bear pain that I shouldn't have to bear at my age. I'll be fine."

Shan Ting, he was overjoyed.

Lu Changsheng was a little stunned, but he quickly stopped thinking about it. After all, there was no difference between Shan Ting getting benefits and him getting benefits.

In this way, the Buddha's light, like a vast ocean, completely entered Shan Ting's body.

And the body that Shan Ting becomes increasingly sacred, its flesh as pure as jade, radiating a dazzling light.

It was at this time that the level of Shan Ting comprehension was also constantly being broken through.

The realms of immortals are Golden Immortal Realm Immortal Lord Realm, Immortal Venerable Realm, Immortal Saint Realm, Immortal King Realm.

In one breath, his Shan Ting clearly broke through to the Immortal King realm.

"Roar!"

In an instant, Shan Ting roared in anger. His physical body swelled ten thousand times, becoming as smooth as jade, and radiating thousands of holy rays of light. This roar was earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.

The boundless Buddha light cleansed his bloodline, granting Shan Ting the ancestral lineage and the abilities of a divine elephant. He was impervious to all laws and unbreakable by all evil. He rode on auspicious clouds, bathed in the Buddha's light, and was the supreme auspicious beast of Buddhism.

"Amitabha, well said, well said."

The voice of the Divine Monk Jialan rang out; perhaps he wanted to say something, but in the end, he changed it to this sentence.

Shan Ting had advanced to the level of Immortal King, moved his body and transformed back to the same size as before. However, an indescribable aura surrounded him, and this aura was dignified and majestic.

Upon reaching the Immortal King, he was exceptionally Shan Ting nature and also gained various abilities.

Shan Ting brings about an indescribable transformation, a transformation that can be described as a complete metamorphosis.

Even Lu Changsheng, after just one glance, couldn't help but change slightly.

If the previous Shan Ting had a harmless feel, more of an adorable quality, the current Shan Ting has a majestic presence, the majesty of a mythical beast.

It was at this moment.

When Shan Ting woke up and opened her eyes, Lu Changsheng felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

But at that moment, Shan Ting took out the notebook directly.

Without saying a word, he took out another pen and continued drawing in the notebook.

"At the end of August, the weather was just right. Brother Changsheng brought me to the Buddhist realm. He needed the Heavenly Dao Mark of the Buddhist realm, but unfortunately, he had to pass three trials. The first trial was the profoundness of Buddhist teachings, which Brother Changsheng did not understand. With my help, he recited an ancient and unparalleled scripture. In an instant, flowers rained down from the sky and golden lotuses sprang from the ground. The high monks of the Buddhist realm all exclaimed that they were experts. They thought I was just giving them a hint and planned to keep my merits hidden. But unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dao Mark still sensed my presence and gave me supreme Buddhist light."

"At first I didn't want it, but thinking that I do lack some Buddha's light now, I thought about it and reluctantly accepted it. After breaking through to the Immortal King Realm, Brother Changsheng was extremely shocked. I smiled calmly and said, 'Basic operation, don't be silly.'"

After Shan Ting finished writing with great satisfaction, she hid the notebook in the space inside her body and then looked at Lu Changsheng.

"Big brother, ride me!"

Shan Ting opened his mouth, and now he had become Immortal King Realm, with a Dharma body of ten thousand feet, enough for Lu Changsheng to ride.

Lu Changsheng: ""

Sure enough, old habits die hard; Shan Ting is still Shan Ting, she hasn't changed at all.

And just then...

The Divine Monk Jialan spoke again.

"The three destined individuals have already passed the first test; now we will proceed to the Second Trial."

His words drew the attention of many, who were curious about what the Second Trial challenge would be.

"The Ancient Buddha once posed a question, hoping that a person with the right destiny in the future could answer it. If the answer satisfies the Ancient Buddha, then the Ancient Buddha will respond."

The Divine Monk Jialan said this.

"Please, divine monk, give us a question."

"I would like to hear the details."

Nanming Liuli and Bodhi Wisdom spoke up one after another. They were somewhat impatient. Being suppressed by Lu Changsheng in the first test, they naturally felt a certain amount of pressure.

Therefore, they really wanted to suppress Lu Changsheng in the Second Trial.

The Ancient Buddha asked, "Who is the Buddha?"

The Divine Monk Jialan asked.

Upon hearing this, the ancient monks immediately fell into deep thought.

This is a question posed by Ancient Buddha, so it naturally carries great significance. However, this is not the first time I've heard this question.

Even many of the monks raised this question.

Who is Buddha?

Both Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli have raised this question or encountered it.

Lu Changsheng, too, had mentioned this issue before.

Who is Buddha?

The three fell silent, then thought about it seriously.

Three hours later.

Nanming Liuli gave an answer.

"All things in the world possess Buddha-nature. The world is a sea of suffering, and all living beings struggle to cross it. Our My Buddha is dedicated to saving all living beings. Therefore, all things are Buddhas, but lack a savior."

Nanming Liuli said this.

He had great ambitions, comparing the world to a sea of suffering, and he wanted to become a true Buddha to save all living beings from this sea of suffering.

The Ancient Buddha's question was not about who the Buddha is, but rather, "Are you the Buddha? Why are you the Buddha? By what right are you the Buddha?"

Nanming Liuli guessed the crux of the problem, so he gave this answer.

"Excellent!"

At that very moment, a magnificent voice rang out. It was not the voice of the Divine Monk Jialan, but the voice of the ancient Ancient Buddha.

But the Ancient Buddha is no longer in this world; this is a thought that believes Nanming Liuli is right.

Soon, the voice of Bodhi Wisdom also rang out.

"The world is a sea of suffering, and it is difficult for one person to save all living beings. Only a true Buddha can truly save all living beings in the world. What is a Buddha? I am a true Buddha!"

Bodhi Wisdom's answer was even more domineering.

Nanming Liuli believed that all living beings in the world were struggling in a sea of suffering, and he wanted to be a person who could save them.

However, Bodhi Wisdom believes that although Nanming Liuli wants to become a savior, one cannot simply become a savior at will. Only a true Buddha can save all living beings. And who is a true Buddha? He is the true Buddha, which is why he can save people.

These words are very powerful, and they also demonstrate the confidence and determination of Bodhi Wisdom.

"Excellent."

The voice of the Ancient Buddha rang out again, praising the confidence of Bodhi Wisdom.

Immediately afterwards, countless eyes turned to Lu Changsheng.

The first two answers were both excellent.

One reveals the heart of Buddha.

One speaks of confidence.

Now we'll see how Lu Changsheng answers.

Who is Buddha?

The voice of the Ancient Buddha rang out, seemingly treating Lu Changsheng as a special guest.

He questioned Lu Changsheng, and countless eyes were also focused on Lu Changsheng.

This includes cultivators from Great Thousand World.

He was very curious about how Lu Changsheng would answer.

I felt the gaze of countless people.

Lu Changsheng was also quietly thinking.

When he was in the Lower Realm, he asked others who the Buddha was.

Lu Changsheng was not satisfied with any of the answers.

All beings in Nanming Liuli are Buddhas.

The Bodhi Wisdom within me is the true Buddha.

Both are excellent answers.

Most importantly, this problem is already severely limited.

Heaven and earth are a sea of suffering.

The common people are those who cross the sea.

Are you trying to help others, or are you being helped?

The correct answer is definitely to help people.

But how to guide and transform it is a problem.

It seems that no matter what you do or what you answer, it's hard to escape their constraints.

After pondering for an hour,

Lu Changsheng had found the answer.

He smiled slightly.

He appeared extremely confident.

It's the last day.

I'll have to bite the bullet and ask for some monthly votes.

This month's update was indeed poor.

But I'll still bite the bullet and ask for some monthly votes.

Thank you!
