Buddha Tathagata
With a furious shout, a streak of azure sword energy appeared, slashing fiercely at the seven-colored light!
"Sizzle!!"
The radiant light shattered instantly, Zhunti knew without even guessing who had arrived.
The void cracked open, Tongtian, wielding the Qingping Sword, took a step forward, directly blocking Duobao's path.
His sword-like eyebrows stood on end, his eyes burned with fierce anger, and his sword intent soared to the sky!
"Good! What a shameless Western Teachings! Taking advantage of my absence, they dared to lay such a vicious hand on my Interception Sect! Do they really think I, Tongtian, am a pushover?!"
Tongtian glared angrily at Zhunti, his voice icy cold.
"Tongtian! You have failed in your teachings, allowing your followers to steal from my Western Great Dao and disrupt my destiny! How dare you say that?"
Zhunti was also furious and confronted Tongtian head-on.
"Bullshit!" Tongtian cursed, "Duobao's Dao was something he comprehended on his own. It's clearly your jealousy that led you to try and seize Duobao's fortune. With me here today, let's see who dares to touch a single hair on Duobao!"
"Arrogant!" Zhunti furious. "Tongtian, you are shameless, you've turned black into white!"
They came to Duobao because of the loss of fortune, but Tongtian blamed it on his own Western Teachings.
Who can I complain to about this?
"Enough with the nonsense! If you want to fight, then fight! I'm not afraid of you!"
The aura of the Tongtian Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal surged forth, unleashing its full power without reservation, colliding fiercely with the saintly pressure of Zhunti!
"Boom!!!!"
The two energies collided, and a terrifying energy storm instantly swept in all directions!
The mountains, rivers, and all living things within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles below are constantly being annihilated in the collision!
Countless cracks appeared in space, as if the end of the world had arrived!
The entire Primordial Continent trembled violently, and countless powerful beings looked in this direction with horror.
Tongtian's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his left hand was already raised, as four terrifying swords appeared behind him.
"Perfect timing! Dao Venerable helped me improve the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, let me test the power of this Heaven Punishing Sword Formation."
The Jieyin chanted a Buddhist prayer. "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, it was your disciple who was at fault first. You know perfectly well what is right and wrong."
The power of the sages is terrifying. Although the Primordial Wilderness has become much more stable than before, if the fighting continues, the entire Primordial Wilderness will probably be shattered.
Zhunti, Zhunti Heavenly Dao, "Tongtian! Do you dare to fight us in the Chaos? I will definitely settle this with you!"
Tongtian snorted coldly, disdainfully saying, "Chaos is Chaos! Do you think I'm afraid of you two bald monks? Perfect, let me show you the power of my Heaven Punishing Sword Formation!"
"The Heaven Punishing Sword Formation? When did Tongtian change its name?"
Looking into Tongtian's eyes, Jieyin sensed something was amiss.
The figures of Yuanshi and Taishang also appeared at the same time.
Yuanshi Tianzun immediately saw the Buddha Light surrounding Duobao and sensed the diverging fortunes of the Western Teachings. He shouted at Tongtian, "Tongtian! It really was you! You were the one who instructed Duobao to do this, weren't you? You really are cunning!"
Tongtian was disgusted by Yuanshi's face. "Yuanshi! Don't you dare to spout such nonsense! You can't even manage your own disciples, and now that Duobao has found a new path, you come to slander me! Utterly shameless!"
"You...!" Yuanshi, struck at a sore spot, flew into a rage. "Fine! Fine, you Tongtian! Today I will not let you off the hook, I will definitely fight you!"
"Haha, Yuanshi, I've been doing this for a long time! Come at me all at once, what do I, Tongtian, have to fear!"
Tongtian laughed heartily, his fighting spirit intensifying.
"If that's the case, then let's go to the Chaos for a battle."
With a flash, he disappeared.
Yuanshi's face turned ashen, and he immediately followed.
Zhunti been unable to contain himself, followed suit.
Jieyin this, Jieyin sighed, chanted the Buddha's name again, glanced at Duobao below who was still sensing the Buddha Light's light, and then stepped into the Chaos.
Now that Duobao is protected by Heavenly Dao, even if they are saints, they are helpless against him.
The Supreme Lord gazed intently at Duobao Taishang, remained silent for a long time, and finally murmured to himself:
"Fate has truly changed. Master once said that the grand trend of the Primordial Wilderness cannot be altered, but minor trends can. However, these words are utterly useless against that Dao Venerable Lin Tian."
Dao Venerable Lin Tian felt as if he were above the Heavenly Dao, and his predetermined destiny was being altered under his intervention.
After speaking, the Taishang's figure slowly faded away, disappearing into the Chaos.
At that moment, amidst the Buddha Light, Duobao slowly opened his eyes.
He knew everything that had just happened between his master and the other saints.
He clasped his hands together and said to the void, "I will never forget my master's kindness. Even though I, Duobao Duobao, have to start anew today, I, Duobao, will always be Jie Sect Disciple."
Then, he closed his eyes.
Endless Buddha Light began to penetrate his body.
Hundreds of millions of miles away, numerous powerful beings from the Primordial Wilderness are hidden in the void.
They stood there watching, wanting to understand how a Jie Sect Disciple could comprehend a new Dao.
Perhaps they can glean a glimpse of the Great Dao mysteries of the Dao from this.
Suddenly, Duobao's body trembled slightly.
Two figures, one in black and one in white, emerged from his body.
They transformed into two figures identical to Duobao's original form!
The figure on the left, clad in Black Robe, with a cold and stern face and sharp eyes, was none other than his Evil Corpse!
The figure on the right, dressed in a white robe with a humble face, was none other than his Good Corpse!
Duobao nodded slightly to the two corpses, one good and one evil. "Fellow Daoists, I'm sorry, the path ahead has changed, the old foundation must be abandoned. Today, I ask you two... to help me achieve Nirvana."
Upon hearing this, the Black Robe Evil Corpse and the white-robed Good Corpse exchanged a glance and smiled.
"The true self is me, and I am the true self. The Great Dao leads forward, breaking down and then establishing, only then can one attain true reality."
"Compassion is not attached, good deeds are not in form; the true self sees the mind and nature, the old body dissipates, and the true nature endures."
After saying that, the two of them fell silent.
"Buzz!!!"
The two figures emitted a dazzling light, and the next moment they shattered, turning into countless crystalline points of light.
"Puff!"
At the same instant, Duobao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level plummeted back to the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!
He was weak and listless, his face was deathly pale, and blood kept seeping from the corner of his mouth.
However, a smile bloomed on Duobao's face!
"No destruction, no construction... Excellent, excellent..."
He closed his eyes, his hands unconsciously forming a peculiar meditation mudra, and began to chant:
"Bodhi has no tree, nor is the bright mirror a stand."
Originally there was nothing, so where could dust settle?
As the verse was recited, a wondrous vision arose once more!
Behind Duobao, a giant Bodhi Tree phantom slowly materialized!
The Duobao, with its dignified appearance, sits solemnly beneath the illusory shadow of the Bodhi tree.
Those watching from afar were stunned by the sight.
"What... is he doing?"
"What a peculiar sight!"
"I feel the pressure of a saint!"
The next moment, the power within Duobao's body began to transform into golden Buddhist power, and his outward appearance also changed completely.
The Daoist robe he was wearing had been replaced by a bright yellow monk's robe, and his hair was styled in a Buddhist topknot.
A faint, vermilion-like Buddhist mark appeared between his brows.
In the center of his chest, a swastika slowly appeared, shimmering with golden light, which was quite extraordinary.
If Lin Tian were here, he would immediately recognize that Duobao at this moment is exactly the same as the Buddha Tathagata in later legends!
Duobao slowly opened his eyes.
"My past self has vanished."
"I am speaking the truth now."
"My future self will be dedicated to saving all living beings."
As soon as he finished speaking, three illusory figures slowly coalesced and emerged behind him.
All three figures were dressed in monks' robes, just like Duobao at this moment.
"Today, I, Duobao, establish Mahayana Buddhism."
Duobao's voice resounded throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.
"May this teaching spread the wisdom of equality, dispel the ignorance of all beings, may this body bear the Karma of good and evil, and guide them onto the path of good, may all beings in this world be equal, may their minds be free, may good be rewarded, and may evil be punished... Well done, well done."
From the depths of the void, rolling golden auspicious clouds suddenly appeared!
That is the Heavenly Dao Merit!
The Mahayana Buddhism founded by Duobao supplemented the deficiencies of the Heavenly Dao, and his merits were greater than those of Jieyin and Zhunti in Jieyin and Zhunti the Western Teachings.
Golden auspicious clouds surged and transformed into a pillar of golden light of merit, enveloping Duobao!
"Buzz!!!"
A massive amount of merit surged into Duobao's body, causing his power to skyrocket!
Peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal... Early Quasi-Saint... Mid Quasi-Saint... Late Quasi-Saint...
In the end, Duobao's cultivation level steadily stabilized at the peak of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal realm!
At the same time, the illusory image of his three incarnations behind him transformed into a stream of light and entered Duobao's body.
Duobao slowly stood up, feeling the vast power within his body. He felt neither joy nor sorrow. In the darkness, he saw the long river of fortune belonging to his Mahayana Buddhism.
With a thought, a colossal golden illusory image, ninety feet tall and identical to his current appearance, with a solemn and dignified countenance and hands clasped in prayer, appeared and sat serenely by the long river!
With lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes, he gazed at the distant river flowing by, his entire body radiating Buddha Light.
"I will use my own Dharma form to eternally safeguard the destiny of Mahayana Buddhism."
"My name Tathagata."
The numerous divine thoughts watching from billions of miles away were shocked and filled with horror.
He severed his two corpses, abandoned his cultivation to start anew, chanted Mantra, instantly attained Buddhahood, received heavenly merit, and ascended to the peak of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal in one step, thus suppressing his own destiny...
From this day forward, in the Primordial Wilderness, in addition to the Three Teachings of Mystic Gate and the Western Teachings, Mahayana Buddhism will also be added.
