Dao Questions, Immeasurable Buddha
"This is outrageous!"
"This is outrageous!"
This is what everyone is thinking.
Jieyin and Zhunti are Hongjun's nominal disciples, yet they want to betray the Mystic Sect and establish their own sect. Are these two really that brave?
That's Hongjun!
That's the Mystic Sect!
The Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace are all members of the Mystic Sect. Although most of them are nominal disciples, they can all be referred to as Mystic Sect disciples to outsiders.
The true leaders of the Mystic Sect today are the Three Pure Ones, Donghua, Nuwa, Nuwa, and Jieyin and Zhunti. These seven are the current leaders of the Mystic Sect, who are also disciples of Hongjun.
As for Hongjun himself, he has already stepped down. After merging with the Dao, Hongjun only has one identity: the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao.
Today, the fact that two Mystic Sect leaders of the Xuanmen sect actually want to establish their own sect is truly shocking.
Whether it's the Human Teachings, the Chan Teachings, the Interception Sect, or even the current Buddhist Teachings, they are all major esoteric sects and lineages Immortal Dao Mystic Sect.
Although there had always been a distinction between things, at least on the surface, things were still acceptable.
But if they establish their own sect, Jieyin and Zhunti will face a backlash from the Mystic Sect. Can they withstand it?
"Have you thought it through?"
The Jieyin his hands together, calmly bowed, and said softly, "My path has reached this point; I cannot give up, I can only move forward."
Donghua had already thought of Jieyin's answer. Among All Saints the Primordial Wilderness world, Jieyin unparalleled in terms of unwavering willpower; he was undoubtedly the number one in the Primordial Wilderness.
Now that he has chosen his path and succeeded in paving it, he will never give up, unless the path perishes and he perishes.
Donghua's eyes flickered slightly, the Emperor's Golden Wheel behind him spun, the Heavenly Emperor Seal shone brightly, and a Taiji constantly suppressed the void.
What is Buddha?
As soon as he finished speaking, no one in the hall felt anything except for Jieyin, whose body Jieyin over slightly and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
The twelve grades of merit manifest, releasing the light of the Great Dao, to Jieyin and protect those within.
The pure bamboo in Jieyin's hands transformed into a string of prayer beads. He Jieyin his hands together, gently moved the beads, and with difficulty raised his head to look at Donghua, saying:
"I am Buddha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, golden Saint Blood instantly flowed from the corner of his mouth, followed by blood dripping from his seven orifices, making for a truly gruesome sight.
But Jieyin persevered!
He succeeded!
But before Jieyin could even Jieyin his breath, Taishang lightly flicked his whisk, unleashing his unfathomable power at that moment, the pressure of the Hunyuan Fourth Heaven upon Jieyin and Zhunti.
The Taiji Diagram suppresses everything; in the center of heaven and earth, Golden Bridge spans across, and the Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda stands tall.
What is Buddha?
The power of that single sound caused the Heavenly Dao to tremble, unleashing the power of all paths simultaneously.
The Great Dao emanated from Jieyin's body, manifesting the Three Thousand Worlds and forming the Three Thousand Great Daos, which finally converged into a golden wheel of Buddha light, encircling his back.
"Buddha is the Way!"
A soft clanging sound echoed in the hall, but no sounds of battle could be heard.
Only peace, endless peace.
It was as if the two were merely discussing philosophical principles!
After a question, the Taishang closed his eyes and said no more.
Although Jieyin by a great amount of Buddhist light, his aura was weak, like a candle flickering in the wind.
Just then, Tongtian stepped forward again, surrounded by four precious swords that eventually transformed into a single sword blade that filled the hall, Jieyin and Zhunti.
"What do you?"
A shout rang out, accompanied by the thunderous sound of the Great Dao, which resounded throughout the hall like ten thousand thunderbolts bursting forth, its sword energy echoing deep within.
The Jieyin closed his eyes slightly, his left hand moving the prayer beads, his right hand holding a flower. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and smiled gently:
"I am the Tao!"
"Impressive!" Donghua gave Jieyin a thumbs up in his heart. This guy really had the demeanor of Buddha Ancestor's smile, he really put on a good show.
Jieyin is truly remarkable. Jieyin his unwavering willpower, his understanding of the Great Dao alone puts him on par with Taishang Nuwa, making him a latecomer who has surpassed her.
This time, during his cultivation in the Land of Dao Origin, Jieyin a wealth of knowledge and skills, and has already forged his own path. Perhaps in this respect, Taishang is not as good as Jieyin.
If Buddhism flourishes in the future, then Jieyin will be the most likely to break through to the Five Heavens after Donghua.
Buddhism is a concept, just like Donghua's Taiji Dao. However, Donghua cultivates the Innate Five Primes, while Jieyin only cultivates the Buddhist Dao.
If this Jieyin is successful, then he will open the door to advancing from the fourth to the fifth level, breaking through to the Five Heavens will just be a matter of time.
In this comparison of the Great Dao, Jieyin has achieved a partial victory. As for further conflict, that is impossible, because this is a karmic debt that Mystic Sect and Hongjun owe to the Western Region.
Hongjun erased the karmic debt owed to the Western Region by granting two sainthoods and promised the Western Region great prosperity.
The decline of the Western Region in those days was almost entirely caused by every disciple of the Mystic Sect. Therefore, Hongjun accepted Jieyin and Zhunti as disciples of the Mystic Sect and also made them the Mystic Sect's leader.
Therefore, now that Jieyin and Zhunti want to establish their own sect and break away from the Mystic Sect, no one can stop them, and they will even have to share the Mystic Sect's fortune.
But all of this is predicated on the premise that Jieyin can withstand the interrogation of the Mystic Sect Master, and that his ideology can counteract the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos.
Donghua supports the emergence of the Buddhist Sect. The position of the Mystic Sect Leader is just one of his many identities, so it does not affect his interests in the Primordial Wilderness.
Moreover, once Buddhist Sect emerges, the conflict between Buddhism and Daoism will arise, which is exactly the outcome the Heavenly Emperor desires.
His previous conflict with the Three Pure Ones stemmed from a dispute over their identities, but now that the Three Pure Ones have almost submitted, the problem has been resolved.
However, when Buddhist Sect emerges, it becomes a conflict of ideologies, a conflict of paths, and a conflict of sects.
It's either the East Wind prevailing over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevailing over the East Wind.
Inevitable!
As the Great Heavenly Venerate Heavenly Emperor, the Lord of the Three Realms, and the Ancestor of all Heavens, Donghua was happy to see the conflict between the Mystic Sect and the Buddhist Sect.
Most importantly, the emergence of the Buddhist Sect naturally involves a share of Donghua's fortune and merit.
He initially only wanted a share of the Buddha Ancestor's position, but now a mere Buddha Ancestor is far from enough. It remains to be seen how Jieyin and Zhunti their past karma and promises.
The only remaining sect leader of the Mystic Sect who hasn't made a move Nuwa, but the outcome is already predetermined.
As expected, Nuwa made her move the next moment, but not against Jieyin, but against Jieyin and Zhunti.
A dark blue Great Cauldron appeared, Red Embroidered Ball opened up the heavens and earth, strange phenomena appeared, and the Dao of Creation traversed the Heaven Realm. This time, Nuwa went all out and held nothing back.
What is the Tao?
This is no longer a question, but an interrogation; it remains to be seen whether Jieyin can use his own Dao to resist Nuwa's Dao.
Under the power of the Dao, Zhunti was directly subdued to the ground. He activated his golden body, wildly wielded the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and manifested the River of Karma, which surged and roared.
Each ripple in the River of Karma and effect vanished without a trace amidst Nuwa's questioning.
With a single shout, Nuwa completely severed the karmic ties between herself and Zhunti.
Seeing that Zhunti was no longer of any use, Jieyin could only force himself to continue the fight.
Although Donghua had held back earlier, the questions from Taishang and Tongtian were no ordinary matter. Don't be fooled by his current calm demeanor; he was merely putting on a brave face.
Jieyin slowly emanated Buddhist light, he then activated his own Great Dao of Annihilation, causing the Three Thousand Worlds to tremble. The Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus released boundless light, heading towards Nuwa's Daoist might.
However, in this confrontation, Jieyin was at a disadvantage and couldn't even utter a sound.
Seeing that Jieyin defeated, Zhunti, who was being suppressed on the ground, made a Zhunti in an instant, abandoning his own path and taking the Buddhist Dao of Jieyin, and then connecting with his own Great Dao of Karma.
This happened so fast that no one had time to react.
"This is insane!"
This is what everyone thinks about the Zhunti.
They genuinely couldn't understand why Zhunti would do such a thing; wasn't this tantamount to severing his own path to enlightenment?
Zhunti can comprehend his own Buddhist Dao and make great progress in Buddhist Dao in the future, but now he is completely using the Buddhist Dao of Jieyin, which limits him to others.
From now on, his cultivation level will always be lower than Jieyin's; he can even be considered Jieyin's puppet, his own Great Dao limited by Jieyin.
This was something no cultivator would want to do, but Zhunti did it without hesitation.
Jieyin sighed deeply, then directly channeled his own Dao into Zhunti's body, and the two Dao concepts instantly merged together.
Zhunti's cultivation level increased instantly, and the two's Daos merged together. The Great Dao of Karma and the Great Dao of Annihilation were combined under the catalysis of Buddhist Dao and Daoism.
The Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree emitted light.
The Jieyin his hands together, and his body shone brightly.
"The Tao is me, the Tao is Buddha, I am the Tao, I am Buddha, and Buddha is the Tao!"
A soft, trembling sound echoed in the hall. Nuwa's divine power had vanished, and Jieyin had successfully completed his mission, achieving another evolution of Buddhist Dao.
Starting from the Lingxiao Palace, the Buddha light of Jieyin and Zhunti began to be released, then penetrated into the Great Luo Heaven, the Heaven Realm, the Starry Sky, and then into the Primordial World Continent, finally penetrating deep into the Earthly Realm, spreading throughout all the heavens and myriad worlds.
At this moment, a completely new concept emerged in the Primordial Wilderness: Buddha!
This is a lineage distinct from Immortal Dao immortal cultivation, a lineage that originated from Eight Hundred Side Gates and has flourished to this day.
On the Western Continent, the light of Buddha shone brightly, and the sound of chanting filled the air. All Buddhist Teachings disciples chanted the "Jieyin Sutra" and the "Zhunti Sutra" in unison.
In the Great Luo Heaven, the image of Jieyin changed drastically in an instant. He had his hair tied in two topknots, his face was sallow and his body was thin, and he resembled the Buddha Ancestor.
The exquisite relic manifested amidst Auspicious Cloud, with Eight Treasures Merit Pool shone with white light, and the Twelve-Petaled Merit Lotus Platform expounded all dharmas. White light appeared Eight Virtues Pond.
"I feel that all beings suffer, and I wish to establish Buddhist Sect in the Western Region Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, using the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus of merit to suppress the cosmic energy, transforming Buddhist Teachings into Buddhism, and seeking a path to liberation for all beings. My path leads to the Western Paradise, where all who enter can attain Buddhahood and be freed from the suffering of reincarnation and the calamities of divine punishment."
"When I became a Buddha, there were no six realms of existence in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and I was already freed from the cycle of reincarnation."
"When I become a Buddha, all sentient beings in the ten directions will aspire to the Bodhisattva path, cultivate all virtues, and sincerely wish to be reborn in my land..."
The sounds of chanting rang out between heaven and earth!
"This is the Amitabha Sutra. I am the master of Buddhism, the patriarch of the Buddhist Sect! Amitabha Buddha is the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas!"
Zhunti behind, his own appearance also changed drastically. He tied his hair into two topknots and revealed a holy image with eighteen hands and twenty-four heads, holding a necklace, umbrella, flower pot, fish intestines, Empowerment Divine Pestle, precious file, golden bell, golden bow, silver halberd, banners and other items.
A thousand jewels, infinitely wondrous; ten thousand auspicious lights, one after another; the Empowerment Divine Pestle, rarely seen by men; how easy is it to traverse the Seven Treasures Forest?
"I am the master of the Buddhist Sect, the master of the Buddhism, the Zhunti Buddha, the mother of all Buddhas!"
The two shouted in unison, "Buddhist Sect, stand!"
After a thunderous roar, the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos appeared in the world. Above the nine heavens, the thunder roared endlessly.
But ultimately it vanished without a trace!
A beam of light streaked across space and time. Hongjun severed the connection between Jieyin and Zhunti and the Mystic Sect. From this moment on, Buddhist Sect is Buddhist Sect, Mystic Sect is Mystic Sect. The Eight Hundred Side Gates are no longer the methods of the Mystic Sect.
All the fortune belonging to the Mystic Sect was transferred to the Buddhist Sect and flowed into the body of Jieyin and Zhunti.
The Heavenly Dao also acknowledged the existence of the Buddhist Sect.
The thunder from the heavens above transformed into immeasurable Mysterious Yellow Merit, all of which flowed into the body of Jieyin and Zhunti.
Jieyin all his merits to the Merit Golden Lotus and the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, without using any for himself.
Because he knew that these two spiritual treasures were the key to the rise of the Buddhist Sect. The Merit Golden Lotus was like a supreme treasure in his hands, but in the end, it was far inferior to the Innate Supreme Treasure.
If it were only to suppress the Buddhism fortune, it would be barely enough, but now that Buddhist Sect has been established, the Merit Golden Lotus is far less effective at suppressing the Buddhist Sect fortune. Even with two Hunyuan Saints in the Buddhist Sect, it is still not enough.
Therefore, he can only enhance the Merit Golden Lotus.
As for the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, it is a spiritual treasure prepared for the Buddhist Sect disciples. With this spiritual treasure, the future Heavenly Pride in the Buddhist Sect can emerge in an endless stream; otherwise, it would just be a castle in the air.
Zhunti, Zhunti absorbed and refined all the Mysterious Yellow Merit, and with Jieyin's Jieyin into Buddhist Dao, his own cultivation level increased rapidly.
He broke through to the Hunyuan Triple Heaven in an instant, and then continued until he reached the peak of the Hunyuan Triple Heaven before stopping.
The way everyone looked at Zhunti changed repeatedly, it was hard to tell whether it was envy or regret.
It would be Zhunti lie to say that one is not envious of Zhunti's rapid improvement in strength, but there is also a lot of regret.
Zhunti's talent was absolutely first-rate in the Primordial Wilderness. In the Western Region, a place where spiritual energy was scarce and the Great Dao was weak, he was able to Attain Hunyuan Dao and become Saint. His talent and aptitude need no further explanation.
However, for Zhunti in the future, his path is already set, just like a mold that has been finalized. There is absolutely no problem in saying that Zhunti is the second Jieyin.
Just as Jieyin and Zhunti Jieyin and Zhunti refining their merits, the remaining Mysterious Yellow Merit in the Nine Heavens split in two.
One portion landed in the Western Continent, where it was refined and absorbed by the Buddhist Sect disciples, while another portion was absorbed by the Western Continent.
The other portion fell into Donghua's possession and was absorbed into the Heavenly Emperor Seal.
After the Buddhist Sect fortune stabilized, two portions of it flowed into the Heaven Realm. One portion merged into the Heavenly Court, was absorbed by the Heavenly Emperor Seal, and was eventually distributed among the gods. The other portion directly merged into Donghua's body and was refined by the Emperor's Dao.
"After years of supporting and developing our presence in the Western Region, we've finally seen a return on our investment. It's truly been a long and difficult journey!"
Donghua sighed inwardly. Since his rebirth, he had taken advantage of several Saints and various forces, but he hadn't seen any return on his investment from these two. Instead, he had lost a lot of money.
"However, it's still worth it!" Donghua smiled lightly. The Heavenly Court Destiny had greatly increased, and his own path to becoming an emperor had also improved. This was already the best gain.
Jieyin and Jieyin and Zhunti, seated on lotus thrones, descended from the sky and returned to the main hall.
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerate. My fellow disciple and I will never forget this kindness, and the Buddhist Sect will never forget your Great Heavenly Venerate."
"This humble Daoist wishes to invite the Great Heavenly Venerate to be the head of our Buddhist Sect and the ancestor of all Buddhas. I wonder what the Great Heavenly Venerate thinks?"
Donghua glanced at Jieyin, thought for a moment, and said:
"Can!"
Then, his aura fluctuated, the Imperial Path evolved, and finally a new Great Path emerged, the Purification Great Dao, which was the Great Path he comprehended from the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus.
The Purification Great Dao continued to evolve, instantly transforming into the image of Buddha Ancestor, becoming an incarnation of Donghua.
His avatar sat atop a ten-petaled white lotus, his hand gesturing as he held up a flower, and declared, "I am the master of the Buddhist Sect, the lord of the Buddhism, the Immeasurable Buddha, the origin of all Buddhas!"
