Red Karma Arhat, Imprisoning Yun Rou? Kill!
"Divine Monk Jialan, do you know a woman named Qian Yunrou?"
Lu Changsheng's voice rang out.
He looked at the Divine Monk Jialan and asked directly.
The latter was slightly taken aback.
There's a feeling of wanting to say something but holding back.
In an instant, Lu Changsheng was certain that Qian Yunrou was indeed in the Great Thunder Ancient Temple.
"Amitabha, benefactor Yunrou, My Buddha."
The Divine Monk Jialan spoke with some reluctance.
However, Lu Changsheng slowly spoke.
"This person is a good friend of mine."
Lu Changsheng's tone was calm, but the calmer he was, the more one could sense how much Lu Changsheng cared about Qian Yunrou.
"Amitabha."
The Divine Monk Jialan put his hands together and looked at Lu Changsheng.
"Benefactor Changsheng, you have already received the Buddha Sect Mark and attained supreme Bodhi. However, Benefactor Yunrou has a karmic connection with My Buddha. Benefactor Changsheng, you must not get involved in this matter, otherwise, there will be great trouble."
When the Divine Monk Jialan spoke, his words caused a great stir.
He's a divine monk, a celestial emperor of Buddhism. Theoretically, he should be very polite to Lu Changsheng. He wouldn't necessarily grant every request, but if Lu Changsheng asked, he could probably even lend Lu Changsheng the Demon Subduing Pestle of Buddhism.
After all, Lu Changsheng can now be considered the master of the Buddhist realm.
He, the Divine Monk Jialan, was also Lu Changsheng's disciple, but unexpectedly, the Divine Monk Jialan spoke in such a way.
In other words, even the Lord of the Buddhist Realm cannot get involved in matters concerning Qian Yunrou.
"The Divine Monk Jialan, this person is my good friend."
Lu Changsheng spoke again, his tone calmer than before.
Everyone immediately understood that Lu Changsheng clearly wanted a result.
"May you live forever, benefactor!"
The Divine Monk Jialan still wanted to dissuade him.
But just then, a figure slowly walked out of the Great Thunder Ancient Temple.
This was a young monk with an ethereal face, wearing a white robe, seemingly untouched by worldly affairs, his head free of any trace of troubles, yet his entire being radiated an aura of supreme Buddhist wisdom.
There weren't many unusual phenomena, yet it gave people an unparalleled feeling.
It was as if he were the real ancient Ancient Buddha.
He walked slowly, seemingly from ancient times, or perhaps from Supreme Buddha Country, exuding tranquility and a sense of sublimity.
Everyone's attention was drawn to him.
Everyone looked over.
Then the ancient Ancient Buddha stepped out, looked at the crowd, and showed a compassionate expression.
"Amitabha."
He stepped out, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and then turned his gaze to Lu Changsheng.
"So you are Lu Changsheng?"
He looked at Lu Changsheng with a calm expression, without any sense of superiority, but his whole being exuded an aura of transcendence.
This feeling is like a Crown Prince who lives deep in the palace, coming to a poor and remote place. Although he does not look down on or despise you, there is always a sense of indifference in his eyes.
That's right, it's indifference.
"Greetings to the Red Karma Arhat."
The Divine Monk Jialan spoke, looking at the person with great respect, which aroused the curiosity of countless Buddhist disciples.
How could a Celestial Emperor be so polite to someone?
Who exactly is this person?
This is a Celestial Emperor!
And they even call them Arhats?
However, some people present knew what the Arhats represented and were extremely shocked, while Bodhi Wisdom and Nanming Liuli also came to their senses.
When they heard the word "Arhat," their expressions changed, and they looked at the Red Karma Arhat with astonishment.
"Amitabha, are you Lu Changsheng?"
Red Karma Arhat spoke again, looking at Lu Changsheng and asking him this question.
"Yes."
Lu Changsheng's expression was very calm, and his gaze was extremely calm.
The latter nodded, a calm expression of approval in his eyes.
"I was wondering who Yunrou Foling was thinking about day and night. I didn't expect that you, benefactor, do indeed have some ability."
Red Karma Arhat chuckled.
Where is Yunrou?
Lu Changsheng could sense that the other party seemed to have some indescribable aura, indicating a very powerful background. Otherwise, the Divine Monk Jialan would not have said what he did earlier, nor would he have been so polite.
But so what?
Along the way, starting from the Lower Realm, he encountered all sorts of important figures.
What Lord of the Heavenly Court, what Immortal Emperor, what God King Clan, what Supreme God Clan?
So what if they have a powerful background?
Have I ever been afraid?
"Yunrou is doing well now. She is Buddha Spirit, high above. You have a connection with her, and it is because of this connection that you have been blessed."
Red Karma Arhat said calmly.
"Good fortune?"
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, then looked at the other person, not understanding what he meant.
"I come from a vast and boundless world, a world beyond your imagination. In my eyes, all beings in the six realms are struggling in a sea of suffering."
"But you are different. You have the strength to struggle out of the sea of suffering, but the road ahead is still full of hardships. Lu Changsheng, I have come to convert you in the name of the supreme Buddha Mother. As long as you take refuge under the Buddha Mother, you can attain the Bodhisattva Fruit Position in the future. Are you willing?"
Red Karma Arhat asked softly.
She wanted to convert Lu Changsheng to Buddhism.
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng sighed.
This has happened countless times. Some powerful individuals are simply overly confident, coming from the Heavenly Court, from the Gods, or from the Great Thousand World.
Every time they see him, they want him to convert and submit. Lu Changsheng really doesn't know what these people are thinking every day.
"I prefer my freedom and don't want to join any faction or sect. Let Yunrou come out; I have some things to discuss with her."
Lu Changsheng rejected it, shaking his head as he said this.
"No, no, Yunrou is of a high status and cannot meet you. Lu Changsheng, you don't understand, you don't know. I saw that you have the potential, so I chose to convert you. Don't be stubborn."
Red Karma Arhat said this, but without anger; on the contrary, he was extremely gentle.
"Hand over Yunrou."
Lu Changsheng sighed. He didn't want any more arguments. He figured if he handed the person over, everything would be fine.
However, the Red Karma Arhat chuckled and then slowly made his move. In an instant, twenty-four Buddhist beads appeared in his hand. The beads were red, and each one seemed like a universe, floating in the Azure Sky. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed.
This is the Arhat Prayer Beads, an Innate Spirit Treasure. Upon its appearance, it directly suppressed the entire Buddhist realm. A terrifying power floated in the Azure Sky, with layers of Buddhist light. Each bead evolved into an angry Vajra, millions of feet in size. In a moment of anger, it could cause the entire Buddhist realm to collapse.
The Innate Spirit Treasure appeared, all cultivators felt an unprecedented pressure, as if they were carrying a divine mountain on their shoulders. At the same time, the Buddha's light was incomparably holy, making people unable to resist bowing down and wanting to convert to My Buddha.
Since reasoning with them didn't work, the other party wanted to persuade them with logic.
Ironically, what Lu Changsheng disliked most was this kind of persuasion through reason.
Boom!
The Heaven and Earth Exquisite Profound Yellow Pagoda appeared.
The pagoda, towering thousands of feet tall, blots out the sky and stands in the universe, larger than a star. It droops with countless streams of Profound Yellow Energy, divine light soars into the sky, and celestial music resounds, spreading throughout the six realms. Five-Clawed Golden Dragon coil around it, and divine beasts surround it.
This is Innate Supreme Treasure, and its power and quality are no weaker than its opponent's. The only pity is that Lu Changsheng's realm is only at the Immortal King Ninth Heaven, not a true Immortal Emperor. Otherwise, he could have revived a portion of the power of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.
The pagoda emitted an ancient sound that resounded throughout the Six Realms, and a terrifying aura swept across the entire Six Realms. The people were shocked, as if they felt that the end of the world had come, because if this pagoda were to be fully revived, it could indeed destroy the Six Realms.
The twenty-four red prayer beads were also vibrating, but these twenty-four prayer beads were able to generate energy continuously, complement each other, and resist the suppression of the Exquisite Pagoda.
Of course, the main reason is that Red Karma Arhat is very powerful.
"A supreme treasure of innate merit? Not bad, not bad!" Red Karma Arhat nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Lu Changsheng and did not change his expression because Lu Changsheng had brought out this treasure. On the contrary, he was even more satisfied.
"This treasure is extraordinary even in that world, and only Bodhisattvas can wield it. But unfortunately, your cultivation level is too weak, and you may not even be able to unleash one ten-thousandth of its power."
"Lu Changsheng, offer this item to me, and I can convert you and help you attain the Bodhisattva Fruit Position in the future. At that time, you will be second only to one person and above all others."
When the Red Karma Arhat spoke, he still wanted to convert Lu Changsheng.
"Oh? Then I'd like to see whether I'll be the one to convert you today, or you will be the one to convert me."
Lu Changsheng smiled calmly.
Then the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda began to tremble. Countless stars in the universe shook, pouring in beams of energy that entered the pagoda.
A terrifying aura permeated the air, the sky was torn apart, space trembled, and even the very fabric of the Heavenly Dao seemed on the verge of collapse.
"You don't need to do that. Even if you drain all your immortal power, you still won't be able to revive this Innate Supreme Treasure. Stop dreaming."
When Red Karma Arhat spoke, his tone was calm and confident.
This is Innate Supreme Treasure. To put it bluntly, even he cannot revive this treasure. It's not a matter of cultivation level, as he has already attained the Fruit Position, so it's naturally not a matter of cultivation level.
Rather, the Six Realms simply do not allow such energy to appear. If an Innate Supreme Treasure were to fully awaken, it would be enough to destroy the Six Realms, except for a few that cannot be destroyed, such as the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains, because the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains contain ten thousand supreme arrays, layered upon each other, which even he cannot shake.
But if it truly recovers and strikes with all its might, the Six Realms will almost certainly collapse, and then it will be the true collapse of the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, the Six Realms do not allow such power to exist. Even if Lu Changsheng is the Child of the Heavenly Dao, it is impossible for such power to exist.
After all, once the Six Realms collapse, the Heavenly Dao will also be damaged, a fact that the Red Karma Arhat understands better than anyone else.
Just then, a mark surrounded by Buddhist light flew out from between Lu Changsheng's eyebrows.
The mark then disappeared directly into the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.
In an instant, the pagoda's power increased by more than a hundredfold, causing the six realms to tremble, and a truly world-destroying aura appeared.
The first thing I sensed was the Buddhist realm.
Buddhist cultivators felt a sense of impending doom, a feeling that was very vivid, as if they were standing alone in an endless ocean, facing towering waves, and that even if they tried their best, they would surely die.
What are you doing?
Red Karma Arhat saw Lu Changsheng Buddha World Mark into the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, his expression changed slightly.
However, before he could continue speaking...
The second mark of the underworld appeared and also disappeared into the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.
Then a third mark appeared; this was the mark of the demon realm.
Then the fourth mark appeared; this was the mark of the human realm.
Finally, the fifth mark appeared, which was an incomplete immortal realm mark.
All four and a half marks were absorbed into the body of the Heaven Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, and in an instant, that terrifying and boundless aura appeared.
The pagoda stands tall in the six realms, as if it could evolve into a seventh realm.
The twenty-four red prayer beads vibrated wildly, and faint cries of agony could be heard.
They were ruthlessly suppressed by the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, which possessed four and a half marks and seemed to be truly about to be completely revived.
The entire six realms felt this unparalleled terror.
"Lu Changsheng, what you are doing will bring calamity to all living beings in the Six Realms. Anything can be discussed. It is not impossible for you to see Yunrou."
At this moment, the expression on Red Karma Arhat's face completely changed.
He previously thought that Lu Changsheng was incapable of reviving the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Profound Yellow Pagoda, but he never expected that Lu Changsheng would actually imprint the Heavenly Dao Mark into the pagoda.
This is equivalent to the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda being blessed by the human realm, the demon realm, the Buddhist realm, the underworld, and one-third of the immortal realm.
Although it cannot be fully restored, even a partial restoration, even half of its power, would be immeasurable.
He was scared.
But he was an Arhat, one of the sixteen Arhats under the Supreme Buddha Mother of the Great Thousand World. He still had to maintain his dignity, but he was indeed afraid.
"Discuss?"
Lu Changsheng remained calm.
He could tell that the other party was someone of great importance, and that Yunrou's imprisonment over the years was also because of him.
As for the Buddha Spirit the other party mentioned, he didn't understand it, but Lu Changsheng could sense that he wanted to hurt Qian Yunrou.
Since that's the case, there's nothing more to discuss.
Boom!
The Heaven and Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda shrank in an instant, and like a comet, it rushed towards the Red Karma Arhat.
This is unparalleled power.
As an Arhat, he might have been able to withstand this attack in the Great Thousand World, but in this world, he could not unleash his true strength.
Therefore, he could only turn pale.
A blue lotus appeared at his feet, offering protection, while twenty-four red karmic prayer beads surrounded him, attempting to evade the attack.
Boom!
The pagoda's speed surpassed everything, directly striking the Red Karma Arhat.
One by one, the twenty-four prayer beads shattered and broke, and the Twenty-Four Grade Green Lotus beneath their feet also crumbled.
"Lu Changsheng, do you really want to do this?"
Red Karma Arhat roared in anger. His treasure was destroyed, and he was heartbroken. But more importantly, he felt that Lu Changsheng really wanted to kill him.
"Do you know how great a sin it would be to kill me? I can guarantee that if you kill me, the Buddha Mother will shine upon all the heavens and shatter the entire six realms with a single finger. In her eyes, you are nothing but an ant."
Red Karma Arhat spoke, he kept backing away, coughing up blood repeatedly.
Gone was the aloof and superior attitude of before; now there was only anger and fear.
"The Buddha Mother? If she dares to show herself, kill her without hesitation."
Lu Changsheng spoke calmly.
He stood tall before the Red Karma Arhat.
Three thousand strands of black hair flew behind his head like swimming dragons, giving him a handsome and unparalleled appearance.
The Profound Yellow Pagoda shone even brighter, and the countless rays of divine light it emitted shattered all twenty-four red karmic prayer beads.
"Benefactor Changsheng, please don't kill him. He's too powerful; you can't afford to offend him."
The Divine Monk Jialan roared, wanting to help the Red Karma Arhat, but he was unable to move. Before the Profound Yellow Pagoda, even an Immortal Emperor was not worthy to make a move.
Boom!
Just as the pagoda was about to suppress and kill the Red Karma Arhat.
Suddenly, an unparalleled rift tore open in the sky above the Buddhist realm.
Immediately afterwards, a celestial palace appeared.
