That's right, this is the greatest source of confidence for Nanming Liuli.

The so-called "making a grand vow" means bringing blessings to all living beings Heavenly Dao. When you make a grand vow, Heavenly Dao will accept it and bestow a great deal of merit upon all living beings.

Eliminating the karmic burdens of heaven and earth brings blessings to all living beings, but you owe a debt of karma that you must repay gradually.

Of course, if you do this, Heavenly Dao will reward you.

When Nanming Liuli opened her mouth, she made three grand vows. However, even if all three vows were combined, they would not be as powerful as Lu Changsheng's vow. "I will not become a Buddha until the underworld is emptied."

However, Lu Changsheng's grand ambition was a vow made in the underworld, not in the Buddhist realm, so he could not compete for the Buddha Sect Mark.

Right now.

Nanming Liuli had already sensed that Lu Changsheng had arrived in the Buddhist realm.

But he remained calm and fearless, because he was determined to obtain the Buddha Sect Mark.

Make a grand vow and strive for the Buddha's seal.

This is his greatest source of confidence.

Moreover, although these three grand aspirations combined cannot compare to the supreme aspirations Lu Changsheng had previously set, they are still quite substantial, and he can add a few more aspirations.

However, in Nanming Liuli's eyes, Lu Changsheng could no longer make any grand ambitions.

Because he had previously made a grand vow, although he had completed part of it, he had not yet completely fulfilled it, and the karmic debts he owed were boundless.

Under such circumstances, it's hard to say whether Lu Changsheng would dare to make such a grand vow.

Even if someone dared to do it, would Heavenly Dao allow it?

How can such a grand vow and causal relationship be established casually?

Once established, will one definitely receive a response from Heavenly Dao?

It could be said that Nanming Liuli believed she had victory in her grasp. Of course, the only one she needed to worry about was not Lu Changsheng, but Bodhi Wisdom.

Lu Changsheng could not make grand vows, but Bodhi Wisdom could.

Nanming Liuli is a gamble, a gamble that Bodhi Wisdom will not make grand vows.

Meanwhile.

Below the Great Thunder Ancient Temple.

Bodhi Wisdom looked at Nanming Liuli with some surprise.

He never expected that Nanming Liuli would dare to make such a grand ambition, just to compete for the Buddhist Heavenly Dao Mark.

At this moment, the Buddha Sect Mark that was rushing towards Lu Changsheng did indeed pause, as if it was hesitating.

"I am Nanming Liuli. Today, in order to obtain the Buddha Sect Mark, I make another great vow: that all virtuous cultivators in the world may understand the Tathagata and not fall into the cycle of reincarnation."

Nanming Liuli spoke again, making another grand vow; he had now made five grand vows.

His intention was to frighten Bodhi Wisdom prevent it from making any grand vows.

You should know that once both sides make great vows, if you do not receive the Heavenly Dao Mark, you will still have to repay the karmic debts for your vows.

It's like an auction. No matter how much you bid, once you open your mouth, you have to pay that amount. And if someone else bids higher and wins the item, it has nothing to do with you.

Bodhi Wisdom was indeed hesitant.

He really didn't know whether he should make such a grand vow.

If he doesn't establish a position, he has absolutely no chance of winning.

If it's feasible, what if Nanming Liuli continues to make grand ambitions?

Is this even allowed to live in peace?

Bodhi Wisdom frowned.

However, just as the Buddha Sect Mark was about to fly towards Nanming Liuli, the voice of Bodhi Wisdom rang out.

"I am Bodhi Wisdom. Today, in order to obtain the Buddha Sect Mark, I make a great vow: that all sentient beings in the world who believe in My Buddha will attain wisdom, be free from karmic forces, enjoy merit, and be free from the suffering of reincarnation, birth, old age, sickness, and death."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke, and what it spoke was such a grand vow.

It is much larger than the Nanming Liuli.

Nanming Liuli only aims to free all living beings from the suffering of reincarnation, while Bodhi Wisdom aims to free all living beings from the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death. To put it bluntly, everyone has the potential to cultivate immortality, but they must have faith in My Buddha.

This grand ambition is remarkable.

One of them is worth five of the Nanming Liuli.

Buzzing.

In an instant, the Buddha Sect Mark was indeed trembling, rushing towards the direction of Bodhi Wisdom.

However, at this moment, Nanming Liuli became somewhat angry.

I've waited so long for you, and you still haven't made any grand ambitions?

Oh, so you only made this grand vow when the Buddha Sect Mark was almost in my hands?

Is it really necessary to be so disgusting?

With that in mind, Nanming Liuli took a deep breath and continued to make grand vows.

The sixth grand aspiration was raised.

The Buddha Sect Mark flew towards Nanming Liuli.

Bodhi Wisdom, upon witnessing this scene, couldn't help but take a deep breath.

We've already made a grand vow, so what's there to be afraid of? If we're going to fight, we'll fight to the end. Let's not worry about whether we can repay it or not; let's just make the vow first.

And so, the two of them talked back and forth, their grand ambitions growing ever larger and more extraordinary with each passing moment.

This gave Lu Changsheng, who was in the distance, a slightly indescribable feeling.

He never imagined that the struggle for the Buddha Sect Mark could be played out in this way.

If I had known I could make grand vows, why would I have bothered going to the underworld and answering questions? Wasn't I just wasting my time?

I'm a little angry, but there's nothing more to say.

"Brother Changsheng, aren't you going to fight for it?"

He Shan Ting attentively, showing some curiosity.

"Let them fight it out, but let them finish making their grand ambitions first."

Lu Changsheng spoke up not out of malice, but mainly to let them wear themselves down first. In case they made even bigger ambitions after he joined them, he would be at a disadvantage.

With that in mind, Lu Changsheng waited quietly.

Thus, Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli continuously made great vows.

Moreover, each one was more exaggerated and more ferocious than the last, with the Profound Yellow Merit, which even condensed into a Five-Clawed Merit Golden Dragon.

Compared to Lu Changsheng, it is naturally not qualified, but it is already terrifying.

After all, this is just a grand vow. The karmic debt you need to repay is ten times greater than what you receive. Otherwise, everyone would make grand vows.

Since you made this grand vow for the good of everyone, and your heart is set on doing good, wouldn't it go against the will of the grand vow if you really wanted any benefits?

Heavenly Dao rewards you with something because it knows you'll have to work hard in the future, so it gives you some benefits.

Finally, Nanming Liuli spoke again.

But heaven and earth did not react at all.

The Heavenly Dao did not accept Nanming Liuli's grand ambition; he had already made seventy-two grand ambitions, and any more would not be possible.

However, behind Nanming Liuli, two Five-Clawed Merit Golden Dragons had already condensed.

As for Bodhi Wisdom, it had only condensed one and a half strands, but after seeing this scene, Bodhi Wisdom no longer held back.

Let's set an even bigger goal and complete the thirty-six great goals.

In an instant, two Five-Clawed Merit Golden Dragon condensed.

The two players were evenly matched.

At this moment, the Buddha Sect Mark hesitated somewhat.

Thinking of this, Bodhi Wisdom gritted his teeth and said.

"I am Bodhi Wisdom, and I bear witness to the Bodhi Clan, the supreme treasure, Seven Treasures Mystical Tree. If I receive the Heavenly Dao Mark, all beings will go to the Pure Land."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke, knowing that he could no longer rely on himself to persuade Heavenly Dao to grant his grand wish, but he still had a supreme treasure, Innate Supreme Treasure.

The Seven Treasures Mystical Tree.

However, this supreme treasure is not in his possession, but is in the God King Treasure Vault, which he can only open after becoming an Immortal Emperor.

However, if he obtains the Buddha Sect Mark, he can directly attain the Dao of Immortal Emperor and then activate the Seven Treasures Mystical Tree, so he can indeed make another grand vow.

As the sound rang out, a third Five-Clawed Merit Golden Dragon appeared, encircling behind Bodhi Wisdom.

At this moment, Bodhi Wisdom smiled, revealing the first smile he had shown since meeting Lu Changsheng.

Nanming Liuli completely lost his composure. There was some anger in his eyes as he looked at Bodhi Wisdom, wanting to say something, but in the end he held back.

He lacked Innate Supreme Treasure, making it impossible for him to continue making grand ambitions, and Heavenly Dao was unwilling to grant his request.

Bodhi Wisdom smiled.

His smile was very broad.

Finally, finally, finally I received the Buddha Sect Mark. Although I made so many grand vows, what does it matter?

Having received the Buddha Sect Mark and become an Immortal Emperor, one can then travel to the Great Thousand World and repay karmic debts later. What is there to fear?

And most importantly, he finally beat Lu Changsheng to the punch, finally leaving Lu Changsheng only able to watch him helplessly.

Waaaaah!

Finally, heaven rewards those who persevere.

Finally, I've won against Lu Changsheng.

Bodhi Wisdom almost cried.

But in this situation, he cannot cry; he must greet the bright future with a smile.

However, at that moment...

Seeing that the dust had settled, Lu Changsheng's voice slowly rang out.

"Are you all done talking?"

A sound rang out.

The Buddhist realm was completely silent.

Everyone turned their gaze to Lu Changsheng, their eyes filled with curiosity.

They didn't understand what Lu Changsheng meant by saying that.

They were all incredibly curious.

The next moment, Lu Changsheng's voice rang out.

"I am Lu Changsheng. If I attain unsurpassed Bodhi and become a Buddha, the Buddha-land I reside in will be filled with immeasurable and inconceivable merits and adornments."

The sound rang out, and the heavens and earth trembled once more.

Auspicious clouds filled the sky, and Lu Changsheng began to make grand vows.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng's grand ambition was even more magnificent.

"This! This can't be!"

"He can still make grand ambitions."

"Making such a grand vow is one thing, but the problem is that Heavenly Dao actually accepted it?"

"This is not just a grand ambition, it is an unparalleled ambition."

"Is Lu Changsheng really not afraid of the consequences of karma and being burdened by it?"

"He made such a grand vow as 'I will not become a Buddha until the underworld is empty,' and now he's made another vow: 'I will not become a Buddha until the underworld is empty.'"

"After attaining perfect enlightenment, the Buddha-land where one resides is endowed with immeasurable and inconceivable merits and adornments. What does this mean?"

"If I attain unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment and become a Buddha, the land I reside in will be adorned with boundless and inconceivable merits and virtues. Everything—people, things, everything—will surpass the Pure Land World."

Some people were shocked and couldn't believe that Lu Changsheng would still dare to make such a grand ambition at this time.

What's even more shocking is that Heavenly Dao actually dared to accept it?

It's like someone dressed in fine clothes going to a money exchange to borrow money, asking for 100 million taels of silver. The money exchange sees that you are of extraordinary status and that you want to use the money to benefit the people, so they are willing to lend it to you.

Then you squander all your money and go to the money exchange, but this time it's not for the sake of the people, but more for your own sake, and you ask to borrow tens of millions of taels.

Normally, what money lender would dare to lend you money?

You haven't paid back the money you borrowed before, and now you're borrowing again?

At least pay back some of the money you owed before, right?

Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli's expressions also turned ugly.

Nanming Liuli, in particular, was filled with frustration. He had made a grand vow, but Heavenly Dao did not accept it. Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, made such a grand vow, and Heavenly Dao seemed to accept everything he did, as if he were under Lu Changsheng's command.

It's as if the money shop is owned by Lu Changsheng's family. When Nanming Liuli borrows millions of taels of silver, he has to calculate this interest and that interest, and stipulate when to repay.

After Lu Changsheng borrowed 100 million taels, he borrowed tens of millions more without mentioning any interest or setting any time limit; he just wanted to borrow first and worry about the consequences later.

How can this not make people angry?

How can we prevent people from feeling stifled?

That's it?

Or did it come from the God Sea?

Still acting superior? What makes you think you're superior?

Nanming Liuli wanted to cry; he wanted to cry even more than Bodhi Wisdom.

But Lu Changsheng's voice rang out again.

"If I attain unsurpassed Bodhi, there will be no hells, evil spirits, or any creatures that fly or crawl in the Buddha's land."

"All sentient beings who are born in the three evil realms and are reborn in my land to receive my Dharma teachings, if they are fortunate enough to be reborn in this land, they will become Buddhas; if they are not fortunate enough to be reborn in this land, they will not attain unsurpassed enlightenment."

A series of magnificent voices rang out.

The sound of Buddhist chants resounded throughout the entire six realms.

The heavens and earth were filled with ethereal music, and peace reigned over the world.

"When I become a Buddha, all sentient beings in the ten directions who are born in my land will possess a body of pure gold."

Three grand aspirations.

Four grand aspirations.

Ten grand aspirations.

Twenty grand aspirations.

Thirty grand aspirations.

Forty grand aspirations.

Forty-five grand aspirations.

Forty-seven grand aspirations.

In the end, Lu Changsheng still spoke.

"When I become a Buddha, those who are born in my land will have their food, clothing, and various offerings provided as they wish, without any disappointment."

This is the final grand ambition.

Forty-eight grand aspirations.

As the sound ended, a massive amount of merit flowed into Lu Changsheng's body.

At this moment, the Buddhist Heavenly Dao Mark no longer hesitated and flew directly to Lu Changsheng's location.

These are the forty-eight great vows of Buddhism.

This was the grand aspiration of the Western Two Sages when they attained enlightenment.

Since Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli liked to make grand vows, Lu Changsheng simply brought out all forty-eight of them.

Let's see whose grand vision is better.

The forty-eight grand aspirations have been fulfilled.

Heavenly Dao accepted them one by one.

Immediately afterwards, forty-eight Merit Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared again.

These golden dragons did not bless Lu Changsheng's body.

Instead, it was added to Lu Changsheng's extraordinary phenomena.

The Bodhi Divine Tree grew rapidly, and miraculously evolved into One Hundred and Eight Thousand Buddha Kingdoms, each one resplendent in gold and jade, like the Pure Land World.

At the same time, it affects 108 million miles. In other words, with Lu Changsheng as the main figure, 108 million miles is Lu Changsheng's Buddhist kingdom. If one sincerely worships before him, one can enjoy all the benefits of the Forty-Eight Great Vows.

They will not be subject to reincarnation.

Immortal and indestructible.

May they be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Supreme Bodhi.

At this very moment, outside the Great Thunder Ancient Temple.

Lu Changsheng was like a true Ancient Buddha.

It manifests an ancient Ancient Buddha phantom, the Mahavairocana, indestructible and silent, yet its Buddha-sound resounds throughout the six realms, its divine light radiant, embodying supreme Bodhi, supreme awakening, supreme wisdom, inconceivable and immeasurable.

The Buddhist Heavenly Dao Mark directly entered Lu Changsheng's body, evolving into this Great Mahavairocana.

The fourth mark is on the hand.

Now, the last two steps are still missing.

One is the mark of the demon realm.

One of them is two-thirds of the Immortal Realm Mark.

In the center of heaven and earth.

Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli were utterly desperate.

The most desperate thing is Bodhi Wisdom.

He made so many grand ambitions.

In the end, she still ended up being the one who benefited.

He cried.

I really cried.

The crying wasn't loud, but tears streamed down her face.

This drew sighs and shakes of the head from the crowd.

Lu Changsheng, however, put his hands together in prayer.

"Amitabha, fellow Bodhi, do not be sad. As the saying goes, what is Everything is destined, and what is not destined to be yours, you cannot force."

A sound rang out.

Bodhi Wisdom took a deep breath.

Then the crying grew louder.

But just then, Lu Changsheng's voice rang out again.

"Divine Monk Jialan, do you know a woman named Qian Yunrou?"

Lu Changsheng's voice rang out.

He did not forget the purpose of his visit.

Although Buddha Sect Mark are primary.

But finding the Exquisite Holy Maiden is the primary objective.

In fact, when Lu Changsheng arrived at this place, he swept his Divine Sense across the Buddhist realm but did not find the figures of Qian Yunrou and Exquisite Holy Lord.

He didn't know where the Exquisite Holy Lord had gone.

However, Divine Sense could not penetrate the Great Thunder Ancient Temple.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng believed that Qian Yunrou and Exquisite Holy Lord might both be in the ancient temple.
