"I am Chen Kingdom Qi Huo, paying my respects to the Supreme Living Buddha."
We were ignorant and spoke recklessly; please forgive us, Living Buddha.
A Huo immediately bowed respectfully, showing the other party considerable respect, after all, the other party was True God Realm expert.
"I am Chen Duo from the Chen Kingdom, paying my respects to the Living Buddha!"
Chen Duo also realized what was happening and hurriedly followed suit, as did the monk behind her, who immediately knelt on the ground with a devout expression.
"I understand why you're here. Come on over!"
The bald man, dressed in white, possessed an extraordinary demeanor that contrasted sharply with the other monks.
With a whoosh, a spatial rift opened up beside him, and then he waved his hand, inviting Chen Duo and A Huo to enter.
"Let's go inside and talk!"
A Huo knew that someone who had reached the level of a Living Buddha had no need to plot against him. Without hesitation, he took Chen Duo's hand and went inside together.
After A Huo and the other man went inside, the bald man and the monks who were meditating outside bowed again before disappearing into the spatial rift.
The space created by the Living Buddha was a huge circular room, surrounded by bookshelves filled with various scriptures, making one feel as if they were immersed in an ocean of knowledge.
In the center of the house was a semi-circular miniature world. Chen Duo looked at it carefully and saw that the scene within the small world was the same as that within a radius of thousands of miles outside.
It seems this is the effect of the Buddhist Sect barrier; everyone who comes to Heavenly Mountain is completely exposed within the Buddhist Sect boundaries.
"My Dharma name is Yuanqing. You can call me Yuanqingzi or Master Yuanqing."
After the bald man entered the room, he greeted the two people kindly.
"I noticed you the moment you entered the barrier."
Especially you, Miss Chen Duo, you have cultivated the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body of our Buddhist Sect. Even within my Heavenly Mountain, no one has yet been able to cultivate this supernatural power."
Although Chen Duo is a woman, it does not mean that she is unsuitable for cultivating Buddhist Sect techniques. In particular, Chen Duo has the support of many resources in the Chen Kingdom, and her cultivation level has always been second only to A Huo and a few others in the Chen Kingdom.
The Sixteen-Foot Golden Body in the Buddhist Sect is the highest level of physical cultivation in the Buddhist Sect. It is extremely difficult to achieve, but once achieved, it means that one is not far from attaining the Physical Body Bodhisattva Realm in the Buddhist Sect.
In the Buddhist Sect, the Void God Realm is called the Bodhisattva Realm, while the True God Realm is called the Living Buddha Realm.
"It's a pity you're unwilling to truly convert to Buddhist practice; otherwise, you should have already attained the Bodhisattva level."
Yuanqing shook her head, looking quite regretful.
Master Yuanqing is too kind!
The main problem is that my six senses are not pure, so I can't cultivate Buddhism at all. After all, I still want to get married in the future!
Chen Duo quickly put her hands together and said sincerely.
"Ahem! Actually, it's not that we Buddhist Sect completely forbid marriage, but it's forbidden in the Pan Emperor Continent!"
Yuanqing explained, but then realized she had gone off-topic and quickly corrected the subject.
"You've come here this time hoping that our True Esoteric Buddhist Sect will help your Chen Kingdom fight against the Heavenly Court and the Abyss Devil Race, right?"
"Master is wise; this is exactly what we were thinking."
However, we in the Chen Kingdom will not force anything; we simply wish for friendly cooperation between the two sides!
After all, the Heavenly Court holds absolute power, and the Abyss Devil Race are even more brutal. If we allow them to invade and occupy the Pan Emperor Continent, there will surely be no place for us to live in the future.
A Huo quickly cupped his hands in greeting, his expression earnest.
"Actually, even if you hadn't come looking for me, I would have come looking for you after a while."
Yuanqing smiled and casually pointed to several scriptures on the table.
At this moment, A Huo and Chen Duo both realized that those few scriptures were the same as the ones the abbot of the temple had given them.
"If you have carefully read the scriptures I gave you, you should understand that my attitude towards the Buddhist Sect believers is different from that of traditional Buddhist practitioners in this world."
The traditional Buddhist practices in this world used to be Hinayana Dharma, which focused on the afterlife and aimed to liberate oneself.
I came into this world to spread my Mahayana Dharma to the world.
Mahayana Dharma emphasizes relieving suffering and saving all sentient beings, which aligns with the benevolent governance of your Chen Kingdom. Therefore, if you understand this, you will naturally understand my meaning.
In reality, Yuanqing has only been reincarnated into this world for a little over ten years, and his strength has been slowly recovering until recently when he finally reached the Living Buddha Realm.
It's not easy for him to change the Buddhist beliefs here all at once; he can only do it gradually.
A Huo and Chen Duo's actions after going to Heavenly Mountain were ultimately a bit too rough. Yuanqing originally wanted them to suffer more so they could go back and properly understand Buddhist principles.
But Yuanqing couldn't bear to listen to Chen Duo's angry outburst.
Yuanqing could also see that Chen Duo and A Huo both had compassionate hearts, which was in line with his Mahayana Dharma. Therefore, he no longer clung to formalities and appeared to meet them.
"If that's the case, then that's great!"
A Huo thought for a moment, then took out a token from his storage ring and handed it to Master Yuanqing.
"This is our Imperial Advisor's communication token. Our Imperial Advisor would like to speak with you personally. Would that be convenient?"
"Good!"
Yuanqing did not refuse and immediately activated the communication token.
With a whoosh!
Chen Mu's Primordial Spirit projection appeared in front of him. After glancing around, Chen Mu quickly understood what was going on.
"I am Chen Mu, and I pay my respects to the Supreme Living Buddha!"
"Greetings, Chen Kingdom! My Dharma name Yuanqing; you may address me by my Dharma name."
"Yes, Master Yuanqing, I presume Qi Huo and the other two have conveyed my message to you."
Chen Mu's eyes were full of anticipation.
"If you want me to deal with the Abyss Devil Race, I can take action at any time!"
However, if it's aimed at the Heavenly Court, then we'll have to see how things go. I don't want to get too involved in the internal strife among you Human Clan."
Yuanqing had clearly already prepared his words.
"That would be wonderful! I thank Master Yuanqing in advance."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu bowed to him with heartfelt admiration, but then he asked a crucial question.
"Forgive my bluntness, but what does Buddhist Sect, with its supposedly boundless compassion, hope to gain from our Pan Emperor Continent?"
In this world, there is no hatred without a cause, and naturally, there is no love without a cause.
Everything in the world operates according to its own reason. Just like Buddhist Sect, which protects all living beings, it must also have its own needs. Otherwise, Chen Mu could only doubt their motives.
"Master Chen Kingdom, please rest assured. Our Buddhist Sect Great World of Ultimate Bliss is extremely far from the Pan Emperor Continent. I am isolated and helpless here, and I have no ambition to seize the Heart of Pan Emperor."
I was reincarnated here to spread the teachings of our Buddhist Sect. If anyone cultivates to the Bodhisattva Realm, I will guide them to the Great World of Ultimate Bliss. That's all.
The Yuanqing Handmade Collection answers Chen Mu's question.
"The Buddha's teachings are compassionate; Chen Mu admires them."
The other party's open and honest attitude convinced Chen Mu of 90% of his belief. As for what the future holds, he could only wait and see what the other party did.
The way Buddhist Sect operates is actually understandable. After all, having believers all over the universe is a force in itself. Although this kind of control is not as strong as controlling a plane, it allows them to be compatible with local forces and possess great vitality.
