This could be considered a case of "a chance encounter leading to unexpected success."
“Young Master Yan, you should follow your own heart.”
The Guixu Divine Turtle said, "When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. Not to mention that if the Heavenly Dao is destroyed, you will have nowhere to live; as for the common people of the world, can you really stand idly by and watch them fall into misery?"
"I…"
Although Yanlefo was an unreliable, wine-drinking monk from beginning to end, he always had compassion in his heart; otherwise, he wouldn't have had such an outstanding ability to comprehend Buddhist teachings.
If a calamity were to befall the people of the world, he would certainly not stand idly by.
"Young Master Yan, please think it over carefully and figure out what you really want."
Seeing that the Buddha was tired of his expression, the Ruins-Returning Divine Turtle knew that his persuasion had worked, so he pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "Whether you want freedom or you want to help your companions, isn't absolute strength the only guarantee?"
"Absolute strength..."
In fact, by now, the Buddha had completely listened to and understood what the Guixu Divine Turtle had said.
Indeed, not to mention that if he really wanted to continue being friends with Jun Feijue and the others, he would have to have a similar status, but even if the Heavenly Dao were to be destroyed, it would be extremely difficult to imagine what they, as the chief gods, would encounter in the future if they had not completed their mission.
Based on simple speculation, if what they are meant to protect is gone, is there any point in the guardians still existing?
The answer is simple, and there's no need to!
"never mind!"
Thinking of this, Yan Lefo closed his eyes tightly, gritted his teeth, and said, "In this life, having the opportunity to go to great lengths for a friend is nothing more than giving up alcohol and meat. So what? Damn it, I'll fight!"
Boom…
As his voice faded, the thunder grew louder, and the lightning continued, seemingly increasing in power. He was electrocuted, his skin torn open, and he trembled all over in pain.
He was certain that if he didn't come up with a solution soon, he would be struck dead by the heavenly lightning!
However, none of this matters to those who are now disgusted with Buddhism.
After taking a deep breath, he found a step, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to chant.
"Om Mani Padme Hum... Om Mani Padme Hum..."
It was as if the thunder around him had disappeared. The six-syllable mantra transformed into golden runes that surrounded him. At the same time, a lotus flower was born beneath him, lifting him up. Then, he crossed the heavenly steps and slowly walked towards the entrance of the main hall.
"Boom..."
As the Heavenly Rank increased, the power of the lightning became increasingly terrifying, and the original lotus flower began to show signs of disintegration.
However, the Buddha seemed oblivious, continuing to chant the six-syllable mantra. The runes densely adhered together, then floated and swirled around him, as if about to take shape, yet lacking some kind of catalyst.
At this moment, within the consciousness of the Buddha, a voice kept questioning him.
The path we walk is the Buddhist path. So, what is Buddha?
What is Buddha...?
This is a question that I, averse to Buddhism, have considered.
However, this question was far too broad and profound. He was just an unambitious monk who indulged in wine and meat, and he never thought about attaining enlightenment. Therefore, he never seriously considered it.
But now, he has a very strong feeling.
