Heavenly Court Emperor and I Are Dao Companions, Buddhas of the Buddhist Realm Must Bow to Me

"The Fire Sparrow Clan? If I recall correctly, they are descendants of the Vermilion Bird, one of the royal families of the Demon Race."

Jiang Chuan rubbed his temples. "The Demon Race in the Northern Region and the human race are mortal enemies. The difficulty of pursuing a demon girl is not a small one."

[The Northern Region is vast and boundless. Your search for Que Jinling is like finding a needle in a haystack.]

[Therefore, you decide to first head to the Heavenly Dao Pavilion to purchase information about Que Jinling.]

[Considering the Spirit Stones required to buy information, you set off for the External Affairs Hall the next morning to start taking on missions.]

[While completing missions, you refined the pill energy within your body. A month later, you successfully broke through to the third level of the Third Realm.]

[At the same time, the palace on Stone Lotus Ridge was completed.]

[Just as you were preparing to go with Jing Hui to submit your missions, Elder Jingyun and Elder Jinghou from the Pill Room found you.]

"Amitabha! Jiang Chuan greets Elder Jingyun and Elder Jinghou." Jiang Chuan clasped his hands together.

Elder Jinghou was tall, with flame patterns painted on his brows. A rich medicinal fragrance emanated from him as he walked.

"Jiang Chuan, let me ask you, since you joined our Bodhi Temple, you have never gone out. Where did you get these pill recipes from?"

As Elder Jinghou spoke, he took out the pill recipes Jiang Chuan had submitted from his embrace.

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly.

He hadn't expected that the pill recipes he submitted would cause Elder Jinghou, who was in charge of the Pill Room, to personally appear.

"Elder Jinghou, are the pill recipes I submitted fake?"

"They aren't fake. It's just that these are all pill recipes from the Middle Ancient era, which are extremely rare in the current Qingyuan Realm. Even the Dan Ding Sect, famous throughout the world for alchemy, doesn't have many." Elder Jinghou stared intently at Jiang Chuan. "Where did you come from?"

"Jiang Chuan, the temple requires an explanation."

Elder Jingyun's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder rolling in dark clouds, exerting immense pressure.

Jiang Chuan's expression remained calm. "I dare not deceive the elders. These pill recipes simply appeared in my mind."

"Appeared on their own... Have you awakened memories of your past life?"

Elder Jinghou was slightly stunned, and his gaze towards Jiang Chuan became filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"That's right." Jiang Chuan immediately admitted it.

[You faked reincarnation to overcome the current crisis, but the two elders were troubled about how to deal with you, a reincarnator.]

[They were unsure if you would leave the Bodhi Temple after fully recovering your memories, or even turn against the Bodhi Temple.]

[After careful consideration, the two brought you to the main hall of the Bodhi Temple to find Abbot Kong Ming.]

[After Abbot Kong Ming understood everything, he asked you a question.]

"Jiang Chuan, what do you think of your past life?" Abbot Kong Ming spoke slowly.

"Amitabha! Replying to the Abbot, Jiang Chuan believes that my past self is not me," Jiang Chuan replied.

Abbot Kong Ming slightly raised his eyelids. "Why do you believe that your past self is not you?"

"If a person has no past life, how can they have this life? Do you believe you have transcended the myriad worlds and are no longer bound by the cycle of life and death?"

"That is not the case."

Jiang Chuan shook his head. "This disciple merely believes that one should live in the present."

"Live in the present..."

Abbot Kong Ming savored the phrase before asking again, "But your past life has already influenced your present life. How do you intend to resolve this?"

"This disciple does not wish to pursue the causes and effects of his past life."

Jiang Chuan spoke with genuine sincerity. After all, he had been an ordinary person in his previous life. If he returned to Earth now, he would be a bona fide superhero. He was too lazy to bother with minor disputes.

"As for the scriptures and divine abilities I obtained from my past life memories, I can offer them all to the temple."

"Is that true?" Abbot Kong Ming was surprised.

Elder Jingyun and Elder Jinghou might not recognize it, but he could see that the "Supreme Yang Limitless Body" that Jiang Chuan was currently cultivating was a core inheritance technique no weaker than those of the Seven Sects, Six Demons, Three Palaces, and Nine Clans. If such a technique were to spread throughout the Qingyuan Realm, it would cause widespread upheaval, and even experts of the Eighth Realm or Ninth Realm would fight over it, perhaps even to the death!

Jiang Chuan did not answer. Instead, he recited the entire content of the "Supreme Yang Limitless Body."

Abbot Kong Ming's eyes shot out brilliant light, and his entire being seemed like a great sun, emitting dazzling golden light.

A supreme and powerful aura surged out, as if a deity from the Primordial Era had awakened from its slumber.

"Good! Good! Good! What a magnificent 'Supreme Yang Limitless Body'!"

"In terms of its exquisite subtlety and profoundness, although it is inferior to the 'Golden Body of Tathagata,' one of our Buddhist path's supreme inheritances, it can still be considered a peerless scripture, both ancient and modern."

"Is this the Abbot's true strength?!"

Jiang Chuan's breathing hitched, and a monstrous wave surged in his heart. At this moment, he felt like a lone boat on a boundless ocean, liable to capsize at any moment.

Abbot Kong Ming's aura gradually calmed down.

"Jiang Chuan, the past is like smoke and has vanished. In this life, you are my Buddhist disciple. Once you have finished comprehending the Dao Stele, come find me, and I will impart the Future Star Sutra to you."

"What?!"

Elder Jingyun and Elder Jinghou were both extremely surprised.

The Future Star Sutra was the supreme Buddhist scripture, ranking within the top five, or even top three, scriptures in the Qingyuan Realm.

Only a few cultivation methods, such as the Taixu Immortal Palace's Taixu Immortal Canon and the Feather Ascension Sect's Feather Ascension Scripture, could be compared to it.

Even within the Bodhi Temple, there were only a handful of people who could cultivate it.

Jiang Chuan was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Yes, Abbot."

[Seeing you return to the pavilion, Jing Hui immediately breathed a sigh of relief.]

"Junior Brother, you were an immortal cultivator in your past life, and now you've joined the Buddhist sect. Isn't that betraying your teachers and ancestors, becoming a traitor to the immortal path? Will you be struck down by heavenly lightning and be banished to the animal realm after death?" Jing Hui asked curiously.

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Can't you wish me something good?

First, heavenly lightning, then banishment to the animal realm after death.

If people knew you were my senior brother, they'd think I murdered your entire family!

"In my past life, I was a supreme existence who pushed through three thousand realms and reversed the cycle of reincarnation. The Heavenly Emperor called me his peer, and the Buddhas of the Buddhist realm paid their respects to me. Nowadays, immortal cultivators are merely my juniors. What right do they have to judge me?" Jiang Chuan said earnestly.

Jing Hui's eyes widened, utterly shocked. "Junior Brother! Your past life was that powerful?!"

Senior Brother, you're too easily fooled!

[After a moment of inner reflection, you and Jing Hui proceeded to the External Affairs Hall to submit your mission, and then went to the Arhat Hall to view the Dao Stele.]

The Arhat Hall was located at the summit of a thousand-zhang peak within the Bodhi Temple.

From afar, it resembled a golden dragon coiled on the mountaintop, majestic and magnificent.

As Jiang Chuan and Jing Hui arrived before the Arhat Hall, they saw an old monk, clad in a seven-treasure kasaya, with white hair and beard, holding white jade prayer beads, standing in front of the hall.

"Jiang Chuan greets Elder Kong Bei," Jiang Chuan said respectfully.

"Jing Sha has already sent me a message. However, the Dao Stele is one of the Bodhi Temple's most important foundations, and only one person can comprehend it. Will it be you or Jing Hui?"

Elder Kong Bei shifted his gaze from Jiang Chuan to Jing Hui.

Jing Hui quickly said, "Elder, completing this mission relied entirely on Junior Brother. If only one person can comprehend it, then let Junior Brother comprehend the Dao Stele."

"Oh?"

Surprise flickered in Elder Kong Bei's eyes.

In the next moment, he appeared before Jing Hui out of thin air.

Before Jing Hui could react, Elder Kong Bei placed a large hand on his head.

"After so many years, I've finally found you. Jing Hui, are you willing to take me as your master?"

Jiang Chuan's eyes showed curiosity at this scene.

"Why did Elder Kong Bei take Senior Brother Jing Hui as his disciple? In the simulation, when I asked Senior Brother Jing Hui, he couldn't clearly explain the reason."

"Could it be that Senior Brother Jing Hui possesses some special physique that hasn't been awakened yet?"

[Hearing that Elder Kong Bei was taking him as a disciple, Jing Hui, who had recovered from his shock, immediately bowed to Elder Kong Bei without any hesitation.]

[After accepting Jing Hui, Elder Kong Bei led you to where the Dao Stele was located.]
