Buddha Master, Relic in Hand

Rumble!

The Merit Golden Cloud surged wildly, but at this moment, almost no one in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect noticed it.

Only Su Muxue was an exception!

The other monks, Big and Small Monks, were already completely absorbed in the Diamond Sutra recited by Qi Zixiao, unable to extricate themselves!

This is one of the most profound and Mahayana Buddhist scriptures on Earth!

Buddhist scriptures represent a thought, a concept, but not actual power!

This Buddhist scripture is the first of its kind to appear in the Cultivation World, enough to attract heavenly merits, which shows just how wonderful it is!

When the Buddhist chants are amplified and recited, all Buddhist practitioners become completely absorbed, as if in a trance. In their minds, apart from the sound of the Diamond Sutra, they can hear and feel almost nothing else...

"This... could it be that Zixiao caused this commotion again?!"

"Or does it originate from the General Principles of Daoist Arts Under Heaven?!"

"What kind of book is that?!"

Su Muxue exclaimed in amazement, and couldn't help but sigh, "Zixiao is indeed a child with great fortune. From now on, he will reach even greater heights!"

"With her carrying on my path, the title of the Purple Mansion Saintess will only become more and more renowned!"

The amazement was constant.

However, Su Muxue's movements did not falter at all; it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as lightning-fast.

One after another, she plucked the sparkling objects...

Those around him, whether it was Benxin or the dozens of monks and Buddha's Disciple Refrain from Anger, had all entered a state of madness and frenzy.

The way they looked at me was as if I were a god or Buddha!

However, Qi Zixiao's current state is also somewhat mysterious.

She received divine merit and made contact with it, which involuntarily put her into a strange state of enlightenment!

Behind his head, the Merit Golden Ring shone brilliantly, its blazing golden light merging seamlessly with the Merit Golden Cloud above the heavens...

She didn't even notice this place.

In the moment of enlightenment, I simply recited the Diamond Sutra slowly, nothing more.

"Subhuti, if someone were to give away the seven treasures that filled countless asamkhya worlds,

If any virtuous man or woman arouses the Bodhi, they may uphold this sutra, even just four lines of verse.

All beings in the world, including gods Asura, were greatly delighted upon hearing the Buddha's words, and accepted and practiced them accordingly.

When the last line of the Diamond Sutra was recited by Qi Zixiao, the Merit Golden Cloud above the nine heavens rolled at their maximum speed, and then... suddenly burst open!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!!!

The world was shaken!

Immediately afterwards, the boundless golden light and Merit Golden Cloud contracted rapidly, then condensed into a ring, and instantly appeared behind Qi Zixiao's head!

The second round of the Merit Golden Ring has now been formed!

Buzz...

Then, the two Merit Golden Ring shone together, becoming even more dazzling and amazing!

Furthermore, the two Merit Golden Ring are not exactly the same.

Above the first round, there was a faint 'Tao' character, appearing and disappearing at times, its aura conveying a sense of tranquility, non-action, and closeness to nature.

In the second round, a faint swastika appeared, its aura becoming even more obscure and profound, as if it were concerned with the Karma of the world...

One is Daoism, the other is Buddhism!

Qi Zixiao woke up with a start.

First, he noticed the changes in the two Merit Golden Ring behind his head. Then, he discovered that in this short moment, his cultivation level had actually advanced further, from the Void Refining Initial Stage to the middle stage.

This advancement happened completely unconsciously, and it went incredibly smoothly!

"The second round of the Merit Golden Ring!"

Qi Zixiao was shaken. While she was happy, she was also shocked and confused!

"This..."

She never expected it to turn out this way!

Reciting Buddhist verses and the Diamond Sutra is merely a way to intimidate these high-ranking monks by using the most classic Buddhist scriptures from the other side of the earth, so that one can legitimately obtain the Immaculate Relic.

But now, a second round of Merit Golden Ring has been formed?!

"How many secrets are hidden on the other side of Earth...?"

"Why can a Daoist scripture or a Buddhist scripture both attract heavenly merit and accumulate Merit Golden Ring?!"

"Why would such a monumental work be left behind in a world where cultivators no longer exist..."

This is too difficult!

After countless millennia of development, the "first kill" in the Cultivation World has almost been exhausted, yet the two scriptures "brought over" from Earth have such miraculous effects, which Qi Zixiao finds hard to understand.

After a moment of contemplation, no answer was found.

Qi Zixiao shifted her gaze to the monks beside her, only to find that they all had their eyes closed, seemingly lost in a trance... as if they would never wake up!

They were all immersed in the Diamond Sutra!

The Buddha's light shone even brighter, and countless Buddhist chants surrounded him. At this moment, Qi Zixiao was as if the true Buddha had appeared in the world!

"Amitabha!"

finally.

Benxin awakening, his gaze cleared, and he could hardly contain his shock and excitement. "Benefactor Qi has a heart of Buddha..."

"This Buddhist scripture has inspired heavenly merit, causing all the Buddhas in our temple to recite it..."

"Our Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect wishes to regard Benefactor Qi as the Master of Buddha's Disciple. When disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect meet, they should pay homage to the Buddha. We hope that Benefactor Qi will not refuse."

As soon as he spoke, everyone present snapped out of their daze.

Their gazes toward Qi Zixiao were incredibly complex.

There was admiration, shock, and... disbelief.

How many years have they been practicing Buddhism and meditation?

It's almost impossible to count them all...

However, compared to Qi Zixiao, who is only twenty years old at the time, they are far inferior!

If Qi Zixiao were a Buddhism disciple, that would be one thing; one could say she possesses extraordinary talent, a transcendent Buddhist heart, and progresses at a rapid pace...

But she is clearly Taoism disciple!

A person who cultivates the Tao has a far greater understanding of Buddhism and Buddhist scriptures than these great monks and eminent monks. Even the current Holy Master of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, Benxin, is amazed by it!

This blow is just too big, too big.

"Amitabha!"

In the end, all they could do was chant Buddhist prayers, feeling utterly lost.

At this moment, the one who is most distressed among everyone is none other than the Buddha's Disciple Refrain from Anger.

He has a grudge against Qi Zixiao!

At least in his own view, it was not just a feud, but a deep one!

But now, his own master wants him to acknowledge Qi Zixiao as his 'master'?!

This is absolutely outrageous!

but...

On the one hand, he was very conflicted and uneasy.

The Buddhist teachings that Qi Zixiao had just displayed were simply astonishing! Not only him, but even his master, Benxin, was astonished.

If one could become his disciple, one's Buddhist cultivation would surely increase immeasurably.

But the problem is...

I just can't get over that mental hurdle!

"Don't agree, don't agree, please don't agree..."

He muttered to himself.

However, Qi Zixiao calmly replied, "I don't care about this matter. I came here only for the Immaculate Relic."

Upon hearing this, Benxin immediately nodded in agreement. "You have done a great favor for my Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. This sutra can fill the gaps in the Buddhist teachings of my Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and enable countless disciples of my Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect to reach a higher level in Buddhism. I will gladly offer the Immaculate Relic with both hands!"

What?

Just now you said that the Immaculate Relic cannot be given to outsiders?!

Benxin was a shrewd man and would not make such a mistake downstairs. Therefore, he said, "However, if you, Zixiao, are not the Master of Buddha's Disciple, you are still not a member of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect. Giving you the Immaculate Relic would be somewhat inappropriate."

"I will make the decision. Rest assured, I will not make any demands on you. However, if there is an opportunity, I hope you Refrain from Anger some Buddhist principles to me."

"It depends on my mood."

Qi Zixiao almost couldn't help but roll her eyes.

This old man, is he trying to fool me?!

Do you think I'm easy to fool? It depends on my mood! If I'm in a good mood, I might just spout a few empty words; if I'm in a bad mood...

Who knows what might happen!

"Good!"

Benxin immediately smiled.

The Buddha's Disciple's face turned green...

Then, Benxin waved his hand, and a stream of light flew from the horizon, passing through the patch of Buddhist light, and landed in his hand.

Qi Zixiao looked closely and saw that it was none other than the Immaculate Relic.

"This is the Immaculate Relic."

Benxin rose solemnly, walked towards Qi Zixiao, and presented the Immaculate Relic with both hands before asking, "I wonder, did the Buddha Master just recite any name in the sutra?"

"It is called the Diamond Sutra, or in full the Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra."

Qi Zixiao calmly put away the Immaculate Relic, a satisfied smile curving her red lips...

As expected!

Reading more novels is still helpful.

For example, when encountering such a situation, there are more solutions available!

Although Aunt-Master Su's method could also succeed, it was nowhere near as easy. In fact, it even condensed a Merit Golden Ring!

Master of Buddha's Disciple?

Qi Zixiao was not interested in this identity, and even felt a little disgusted by it.

but...

However, it's not a big problem. There's nothing wrong with having this identity, so it's acceptable.

"Therefore, I will depart."

Qi Zixiao spoke calmly, then turned and left.

"We will escort the Buddha Master."

The senior monks all rose, joined Benxin in Benxin, and respectfully saw him off.

In terms of cultivation level, any one of them could easily defeat Qi Zixiao in an instant, but in Buddhism, the Dharma is a more important standard of measurement than cultivation level!

The Diamond Sutra alone intimidated all the senior monks, and they naturally gave Qi Zixiao the respect he deserved!

Seeing their attitude, Qi Zixiao was startled.

"So respectful?"

Her eyes darted around, and a thought struck her, "So, in the future, in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, or in any place where there are disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I want?"

The side effects of reading too many novels!

Especially after reading novels featuring awful protagonists like ' Bai Xiaochun ', Qi Zixiao became even more 'unrestrained'.

Why do you have to do it yourself when you can have someone else do it?

That's definitely slacking off!

For example, if there are any secret realms or anything like that in the future, and everyone goes in to search for treasures together... then will I be able to select treasures before the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect does?

After all, I am the Master of Buddha's Disciple!

Before she could figure this out, Benxin said again, "Refrain from Anger, quickly see the Buddha Master off!"

"Ah?"

"Forehead..."

The Buddha's Disciple was in a terrible predicament, yet unable to refuse, and could only stammer, "Demon..."

"Um?"

Qi Zixiao glanced sideways.

"Buddha Master ..."

The Buddha's Disciple, so frustrated he looked crooked and squinted, said, "This way, please..."
