Chapter 801

~7 min read 1,368 words

Under the illumination of Buddhist light, the upper and lower reaches of the River of Time each revealed two scenes.

These two scenes were unmistakably the Three Thousand Buddha Lands.

Yes, under the illumination of immeasurable Buddhist light, the River of Time directly reflected the Three Thousand Buddha Lands.

The lower reaches of the River of Time represent the future, and the upper reaches of the River of Time represent the past.

In other words, the two scenes reflected by the River of Time are one of the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and one of the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands.

Hum!

After the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands were revealed, the present Three Thousand Buddha Lands began to tremble violently. The remaining many Buddha Lands all merged into one in an instant, and immeasurable Buddhist light mixed with the power of time pulled at the River of Time.

Drawn by the present Three Thousand Buddha Lands, the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands actually began to emerge from within the River of Time.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

The River of Time began to surge, with large amounts of river water constantly lashing against the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the present Three Thousand Buddha Lands.

But protected by Buddhist light and an invisible power of time, the surging river water did not harm the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the present Three Thousand Buddha Lands.

The two crossed the barrier of time at extreme speed and began to appear in the present.

This scene did not last long. After only a few breaths of time, the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the present Three Thousand Buddha Lands appeared in the Western Continent of Cattle-Gift.

"Present Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, future Three Thousand Buddha Lands — your Buddhist sect truly has grand ambitions!"

Seeing this scene, Luo Fu involuntarily turned his gaze toward Saint Zhunti.

Summoning past and future selves was something Luo Fu also did often.

Moreover, since his own true spirit imprint had already been stripped from the River of Time of the Primordial, Luo Fu did not need to pay too great a price to summon his past and future selves.

But Luo Fu truly had not expected that the Two Saints of the West would have such grand ambitions, directly summoning the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands.

The fact that Luo Fu did not need to pay too great a price to summon his past and future selves did not mean others did not need to pay a price.

To summon the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the present Three Thousand Buddha Lands, the Two Saints of the West would absolutely have to pay an enormous price.

More importantly, the Three Thousand Buddha Lands were the foundation of the Buddhist sect.

The Two Saints of the West had summoned both the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the present Three Thousand Buddha Lands. Once the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the present Three Thousand Buddha Lands were destroyed, it would inevitably affect the present Three Thousand Buddha Lands, directly shaking the foundation of the Buddhist sect from the root.

The River of Time was not so easy to defy.

Not only Luo Fu, but the gazes of all the great divine ability practitioners of the Three Realms were drawn by the Two Saints of the West at this moment.

Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

"Future Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, present Three Thousand Buddha Lands — what a fine method indeed. The Buddhist sect has actually mastered a divine ability that connects past and future. No wonder the Buddhist sect has the Past Buddha, Present Buddha, and Future Buddha — it turns out it was prepared for this divine ability."

The Jade Emperor muttered to himself, a flash of shock passing through his eyes.

The Three Thousand Buddha Lands — he knew of them.

Regarding the Three Thousand Buddha Lands, the Two Saints of the West had not said too much.

The Jade Emperor had originally assumed that the Three Thousand Buddha Lands were already the greatest foundation of the Buddhist sect.

But he had not expected that he had only guessed half right.

The Three Thousand Buddha Lands were indeed the greatest trump card of the Buddhist sect, but the full picture of this trump card was the trinity of the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, and present Three Thousand Buddha Lands.

Although he did not know exactly how the Two Saints of the West had done it, the trinity of the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, and present Three Thousand Buddha Lands would surely greatly enhance the foundation of the Buddhist sect.

This enhancement was not twofold, but several-fold or even dozens of times.

The trinity of the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, and present Three Thousand Buddha Lands, united together, was by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.

Wa Huang Palace.

"Those bald donkeys actually have such methods. It seems these years, Zhunti and Jieyin haven't been idle!"

Seeing the simultaneous appearance of the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, and present Three Thousand Buddha Lands, Nuwa Niangniang could not help but feel somewhat astonished.

As a Saint, she was well aware that the River of Time was not easy to defy. Yet the Two Saints of the West were able to defy the River of Time and summon the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands. Even though she looked down on the Two Saints of the West, she had to admit their methods were astonishing.

······

Yuxu Palace.

"The trinity of the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, and present Three Thousand Buddha Lands — to win the wager, Zhunti and Jieyin have truly paid a heavy price. But with this, Luo Fu is bound to lose without a doubt."

Looking at the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, and present Three Thousand Buddha Lands above the Western Continent of Cattle-Gift, Master Yuanshi's gaze could not help but flicker.

On one hand, Master Yuanshi was somewhat astonished that the Two Saints of the West could summon the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands and the past Three Thousand Buddha Lands.

But on the other hand, Master Yuanshi felt somewhat delighted.

According to the current situation, facing the crushing force of the trinity of the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, and present Three Thousand Buddha Lands, the scripture-seeking team no longer had the slightest hope of winning.

This also meant that the great trend of Heaven's Dao could not be defied.

For Master Yuanshi, this counted as a good thing. What he cultivated was the Way of Following Heaven. The great trend of Heaven's Dao remaining unchanged was a very important realization for him.

From the start of Journey to the West until now, Master Yuanshi's mood had changed like a roller coaster, just like the other great divine ability practitioners.

Several times, they had all been certain that the scripture-seeking team would definitely win, or that the Buddhist sect would definitely win.

In the end, they were all slapped in the face.

This time, the Buddhist sect had deployed the trinity method of the future Three Thousand Buddha Lands, past Three Thousand Buddha Lands, and present Three Thousand Buddha Lands — like riding a dragon right in one's face. Master Yuanshi truly could not think of what method the scripture-seeking team could possibly use to break through it.
