Chapter 230

The True-Settled Ancient Buddha said to himself, "Breaking the fifty demonic aggregates, the Tathagata's secret cause, the Bodhisattva's myriad practices Shurangama; if Ananda practices this and can break demons and become a Buddha, he can prove the perfection of merit."

"Sad, lamentable..."

Lin Xian only felt a chill, and the whole world became strange.

Where the hell did this bring me? Is this still the Zhe Tian universe?

You must know that he had once been to the 'Yi Ren Zhi Great Xia' plane, which was one of the lower realms of 'Yi Shi Liu Liu Zhizun'.

True-Settled Divine Monk, transcending the other shore; one word is normal, but when a series of words are linked together, it becomes extremely weird.

"Left Holy Body, right milk baby, painting in the heart of a loli; whatever weirdness, whatever inauspiciousness, all suppressed!"

"The Three Heavenly Emperors have come out to cover the scene!"

Lin Xian loudly recited the true names of the Heavenly Emperors in his heart and took the opportunity to look up at the blue sky and white clouds outside the cave. There was no chaotic thunder tribulation, nor was there any sword cutting through the ages.

"Good, good." The True-Settled Tathagata smiled slightly, pressed his palms together, and said, "This poor monk is about to transform into the Dao, Nirvana is silent; I am a dying person, little friend Maitreya need not be nervous."

Lin Xian's mouth twitched. I believe you, you old rascal; you are very bad. What dying person? I'm afraid you are dead but not stiff, repeatedly faking death.

He really wanted to ask one question: when did this True-Settled Tathagata come to the Zhe Tian universe, and did he hook up with the milk baby?

However, the words reached his lips, and Lin Xian swallowed them. Seeming to have thought of something, he suddenly asked, "Who gave the Nirvana True Scripture to the Mistress of the Miaoyu Nunnery?"

The Miaoyu Nunnery was originally a sect in the Western Desert, inheriting Buddhist Zen techniques. Later, it split, went east to the Holy City, obtained Taoist dual cultivation methods, and changed its name to Miaoyu Nunnery.

A thousand years ago, a disciple of Shakyamuni returned from the sea, passed through the Eastern Wasteland, and met the Mistress of the Miaoyu Nunnery who was dying. Because there were thousands of threads of connection in the inheritance, he left behind a Nirvana Sutra and drifted away.

Originally, Lin Xian thought this was just an ordinary story, but now it seems full of deep meaning.

It was the lead that brought him to the Western Desert.

The True-Settled Tathagata raised his eyelids and said indifferently, "Ananda."

Shakyamuni had ten great disciples, and Ananda was one of them. He was the youngest of the disciples, not only intelligent and knowledgeable but also handsome and solemn in appearance, having an affinity with women, and was respected by many female disciples.

If among the Buddha's disciples, someone had a connection with a dual cultivation sect like the Miaoyu Nunnery, it had to be Ananda.

This is very reasonable.

"Venerable Ananda..."

Lin Xian only felt his scalp go numb. The Buddhist waters are a bit deep; this is no longer something that a Supreme like Gai Gai Jiuyou can solve.

"Master, why pass the sutra to me?" Lin Xian probed, pointing to the depths of the sky.

"Karma is deep..." The True-Settled Tathagata sighed, opened his weathered eyes, shook his head, and said, "When this poor monk was young, I was incomparably frivolous, unruly, and thought I could kick over the world's path with two feet and shoulder all the sorrows of ancient and modern times."

"I didn't know the height of heaven and the depth of earth, and I got involved in countless karmic forces. At the time, I didn't take it seriously, but now that the troubles have fallen away and the mortal world is far away, I have finally realized that the shackles are heavy."

"Does the Ancient Buddha regret it?" Lin Xian asked cautiously.

"Cut off the past, sever the future, become a Venerable in one life." The True-Settled Tathagata's expression was calm as he said leisurely, "Living in this life, leaving no retreat, placing oneself in a dead end to be reborn, nine deaths without regret."

"Where the heart points, why talk of regret."

"The Reckless Vajra is indeed the Reckless Vajra." Lin Xian said secretly in his heart.

The high-and-mighty Yuan Emperor Dao Lord is still that Thunder Blade Mad Monk who was unwilling to compromise and cut out a blade just for the injustice in his heart.

He swung his blade at the Golden Mother, cut off his own path, severed the future, and could not transcend for several epochs.

If you don't attain the Dao fruit, you are supreme in this life!

He is also the World-Honored One.

But, having said that, the first generation Golden Mother was the Within Yaochi Queen Mother of the West, while the second generation Golden Mother was Gu Gu Xiaosang, the partner of the Reckless Vajra.

The former's karma is hard to sever, grace and debt are added to the body, and she cannot move forward half a step; the latter is a family, what karma entanglement, it's just a little game between the two.

Otherwise, how could the True-Settled Tathagata appear in the Zhe Tian universe?

What is he plotting?

Or rather, that Reckless Vajra who is hard to transcend, now that he sees the opportunity for transcendence, can he go a step further?

Lin Xian was trembling, wanting to speak but stopping, and finally asked, "Does the Ancient Buddha know who I am?"

"Little friend is from another world. The Buddha speaks of three thousand Ganges sand worlds, flowers bloom and fall, causes arise and cease." The True-Settled Tathagata pressed his palms together and smiled slightly, "The myriad heavens and worlds have everything; what is worth mentioning."

You must know that the Reckless Vajra Meng Qi is also an Earthling.

The Earth of the 'Yi Shi Liu Liu Zhizun' world is also extraordinary, once the Dao Venerable's crossing raft.

The Dao Venerable is one of the two transcendents of that universe, who can be compared to those above the sacrificial Dao and comparable to the main system.

The crossing raft he left behind carries countless powers, has a supreme status, belongs to a high-dimensional plane, can shield the other shore, and can also receive information from outside the myriad heavens and worlds.

"This poor monk also knows that there is a Great Accomplishment Holy Body in the world."

The True-Settled Tathagata said meaningfully. When he first entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation space and executed the Hidden Emperor Castle, he once wanted to exchange for some things.

Such as Gundam, Super Saiyan bloodline, Yang God, Great Accomplishment Holy Body, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception; unfortunately, the style of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Lord leaned toward immortal martial arts, and there were only things like the Five Tigers Breaking Door Blade and the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art.

It was not until later, as his status became higher, his realm deeper, and his vision wider, gradually approaching the domain of the Dao Venerable, that he realized there is heaven beyond heaven and worlds beyond worlds.

Rumors are not necessarily groundless.

The Great Accomplishment Holy Body really exists!

"Then why doesn't the Ancient Buddha go find the Holy Body?"

"I can introduce you."

Lin Xian was completely numb. He, Lin Mou, doesn't mind bearing a little karma, but the pit of 'Yi Shi Liu Liu Zhizun' is too big, and his small body really can't carry it.

The system's alarm sound had already exploded in his mind. What is a person of the other shore?

Saying that tracing back time and changing the future are all empty; simply put, it is an Immortal Emperor from another universe.

In the rating of the main system, the most senior and strongest oldest person on the other shore is not weaker than the Immortal Dao Huang Tiandi of the trilogy universe, an existence in the sacrificial Dao domain.

In other words, the danger level of this sky-high pit is not weaker than the Weird Plateau.

Even if you want to fill the pit, you should change to someone with a larger capacity, such as Wolong, or Fengchu.

"Holy Body?"

A strange smile appeared on the True-Settled Tathagata's face, and he said slowly, "He does not believe in reincarnation; how can he become a Future Buddha?"

"Come, come, don't talk nonsense, come forward quickly, this old man will give you a prediction now."

This tone, it really is the Reckless Vajra!

Lin Xian roared in his heart, trembling as he stepped forward and bowed to the True-Settled Tathagata.

"All things of yesterday are like dying yesterday, all things of today are like being born today."

The True-Settled Tathagata proclaimed a Buddha name, pinched a seal in his hand, and said solemnly, "Good man, in the coming life, you shall become a Buddha, named White Lotus Maitreya."

Before the words fell, the True-Settled Tathagata's whole body burned, as if bathed in flames, and the power of faith of the entire Western Desert was added, turning into a towering Great Buddha.

The Great Buddha was unique, standing between heaven and earth. Under the illumination of heavy precious light, he manifested a blue Buddha body, as clear as glaze. Two immortal lights appeared in his pupils, illuminating Lin Xian's whole body, making his flesh and secret realms incomparably transparent.

In an instant, lines of karma manifested, dense and chaotic, the collision of different people's fates, thus forming the human world.

It's just that some fates have a large share, the karmic lines are thick, while some people can't stand things, their fate is shallow, and the karma is minimal.

Immediately after, under the gaze of the Buddha's eyes, those thickest karmic lines broke one by one, turning into nothingness as if burned by flames.

Lin Xian felt that he had lost some things, such as the vision of the Huang Tiandi stepping on time, like some imprints on the Human Emperor Banner. His strength weakened a little, but he was surprisingly lively, as if he had broken free from some shackles, incomparably agile.

The cause of all fruits is not just talk; it is quite powerful.

At this moment, Lin Xian had the emotion of Hua Hua Yunfei, like a fish leaping out of the water, obtaining a moment of great freedom and great ease.

Immediately after, he obtained some things. A green lotus imprint appeared deep in his brow, flowing with Buddha-nature, and then it vanished in a flash, as if it had never existed.

"Entered the cage again." Lin Xian sighed softly. His flesh, under the action of infinite faith and Buddha power, became incomparably clear and pure, like a true Buddha, but Lin Xian did not have a trace of joy.

"If I am supreme in heaven and earth, then all things in the world will have a glimmer of life!"

The mighty thunder sound echoed in the depths of his soul, making Lin Xian stunned. He suddenly looked back at the True-Settled old monk, only to see this Buddha smiling, walking to the end of Dao-transformation, the holy flames dissipating, leaving only pieces of light rain.

The Buddha's flesh became strands of Dao rules, merging into heaven and earth, the flesh and bones flashing with golden light, cracking inch by inch.

The True-Settled Tathagata pressed his palms together, and the magic treasures he carried were also transformed into the Dao. Even the sarira was not left behind; all that remained was the 'Great Buddha-Crown Tathagata Secret Cause Cultivation Realization Meaningful Bodhisattva Myriad Practices Shurangama Sutra'.

"Three times breaking consciousness, ten times revealing vision, dissecting delusion to reveal truth, meeting four categories, rounding out seven greats, examining and removing fine confusion, untying knots from the root, twenty-five holy perfections chapter, four kinds of pure and clear teachings, Shurangama mantra, twelve kinds of living beings, sequential cultivation and realization, seven paths, fifty demonic aggregates."

Lin Xian flipped through the scripture and read it again, becoming more and more shocked. It was not that the scripture was simple, but that it was too complete.

Among the scriptures he knew, only the 'Primordial True Explanation' could stand side-by-side with it.

【At that time, the World-Honored One, in the midst of the great assembly, stretched out his golden arm and rubbed Ananda's crown. He announced to Ananda and the great assembly: There is a Samadhi, named the Great Buddha-Crown Shurangama King, possessing myriad practices, the path of wonderful solemnity that all Tathagatas of the ten directions transcend in one gate. You now listen carefully. Ananda bowed and accepted the compassionate decree.】

This is the scripture the World-Honored One taught Ananda to break demons, to end the difficulty of women.

Who is Ananda?

He is one of the Buddha's ten great disciples, but this is only one of his identities.

Besides Ananda, he is also the Thunder God, the ancient Haotian God, the main body of the Reckless Vajra, but he has feelings, guilt for the Demon Sage, plus his obsession, the more he reincarnates, the more he sinks, making it hard to see the Tathagata.

Ananda abandoned all good thoughts, completely magnified his obsession, and finally fell into a demon, then ascended to the other shore, becoming the Demon Buddha Ananda.

In the end, the Demon Buddha Ananda died at the hands of the Demon Sage.

Ananda ultimately failed to penetrate the Shurangama Sutra and finally fell to the difficulty of women.

【Beginning with breaking demons, but not ending with breaking demons】

Now that the True-Settled Tathagata has granted him this scripture, what does he want Lin Xian to do? Enlighten the Demon Buddha Ananda, let him change his ways and return to the Buddhist sect?

Or simply make it simpler.

"Correcting history..."

Lin Xian sighed, put away the scripture, and walked toward Mount Sumeru. The closer he got to this Buddhist divine mountain, the more he could sense a vast power of Buddha-nature.

At the same time, his sensing of the Bodhisattva realm became stronger. Near Mount Sumeru, this spiritual domain became more solid, already approaching the level of a physical entity.

Outside Mount Sumeru, only some practitioners with deep Buddha-nature could enter the Bodhisattva realm during sudden enlightenment, and their cultivation was often above the Immortal Platform secret realm.

But on Mount Sumeru, even an ordinary cultivator had the opportunity to perceive the Bodhisattva realm.

"If one were in the Great Lei Yinsi at the center of Mount Sumeru, wouldn't even mortals be able to enter the Bodhisattva realm?"

"Unfortunately, mortals cannot enter the Great Lei Yinsi, and those who can enter are not mortals."

"Just like the Undying Immortal Fruit, those who can eat it are beings of the Immortal Domain who do not lack longevity; those who are about to die of old age lack longevity substances and often cannot eat the immortal fruit."

Lin Xian sighed, looked up, and a great mountain came into view, high into the clouds, penetrating the sun, moon, and stars, as if inserted into the starry sky.

Mount Sumeru, the first divine mountain of the Northern Dipper, is not only the highest mountain but also the strongest. The whole mountain is golden and brilliant, without a single flaw. Looking from afar, it is brilliant, steaming with large pieces of immortal light.

I don't know how much power of faith flows there, pure and holy, turning into one stream of light after another, finally condensing together, becoming countless rivers, falling down, submerging that place.

Mount Sumeru is huge and boundless, but there is even more power of faith, covering the entire mountain range, like a vast sea covering the sky, vast and boundless, making the mountain range like an island.

In the distance, one cannot see the Great Lei Yinsi, only the towering mountain, I don't know how many tens of thousands of feet high, towering into the clouds, golden and holy, various spiritual birds dancing, like an immortal domain.

It can even be said that the central area of the Great Lei Yinsi has already evolved toward the Immortal Domain, becoming a true pure land.

Whether it is a cultivator or a mortal, bathing in this rich power of faith all year round will definitely prolong life.

"Mortals can live for one or two hundred years, and cultivators can also prolong their lives for one or two thousand years; the Western Pure Land."

"What is the relationship between the power of faith and longevity substances?"

Lin Xian pondered. The Supremes of the forbidden zones harvest the life of all living beings in the universe, taking away their life essence to prolong their lives.

The Great Emperor Amitabha harvests the faith of living beings; one is physical, the other is spiritual.

From another perspective, is Mount Sumeru an alternative forbidden zone?

It has a Divine Self Great Emperor at the Supreme level, and Emperor weapons suppressing the current age, incomparably powerful.

The biggest difference from the life forbidden zones is that the Great Emperor Amitabha cuts leeks without digging up the roots, and develops new leeks, widely accepting believers and Buddha sons, which can last for ages.

Compared to the violent harvest of the Supremes every tens of thousands of years, eating 99% of living beings in one breath.

Buddhist faith is a long-term trickle; it is paid every year, and while gentle, it occasionally gives back to users, giving mortals a little compensation of being free from all illnesses, full of spirit, and prolonging life.
