In the human palace, the emperor drank a jade cup. In the cup was nectar, which came from the power of immortals. It restored the emperor's broken legs, flesh and blood, and tendons and veins. Even the energy channels in his body that were destroyed by the Taoist's move were restored.

But for some reason, even if one takes the nectar and restores one's energy, it is still difficult to mobilize the destiny of the human race.

Strictly speaking, all your skills are still wasted.

Even so, with the help of the great magical powers of Buddhism, although the body cannot mobilize the destiny of humanity, strands of Buddhist power emerge and change and turn. The feeling that the body and soul are transformed along with it is two different feelings from the powerful and magnificent destiny of humanity.

"Is this the power of Buddhism, the power that can be cultivated to the extreme and lead to immortality?"

“It’s really mysterious.”

"Buddhism is vast and its magical powers are immeasurable!"

Next to him is a Bodhisattva with a peaceful look and solemn expression, sitting on a lotus platform in the air. His left hand is in the Buddhist seal, and his right hand is stretched out in front of him, holding up an object, which is a white mutton-fat jade bottle. There is a strong charm gathered inside, and a young willow branch is in it, exuding strong vitality.

It was the Bodhisattva who saved the emperor, whose Buddhist name was Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva.

Today, Avalokitesvara is just a bodhisattva, while Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva are younger generations with unparalleled eloquence.

Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva was given the title of Namo Wubian, and holds a mutton-fat jade bottle, and is a great Bodhisattva.

I come here today to lead Namo Amitabha Buddha to save the world.

The rest of the Bodhisattvas arrived soon after, but Avalokitesvara, Manjusri and Samantabhadra remained calm and motionless. They only said that they would come back to preach the Dharma after three months, without any hurry or delay, and they did not show any intention of striving forward to expand the Dharma.

The three younger generations are so arrogant.

The Bodhisattva lowered his eyes slightly, restrained his mind, and said in a calm tone: "There is no need for the Human Emperor to do this. The magical powers of Buddhism are immeasurable and vast. Reattaching severed limbs and regenerating flesh and blood are just minor practices. The Human Emperor only needs to continue to respect and worship the Buddha, take refuge in the Buddha, take refuge in the Dharma, and take refuge in the Sangha. When the Buddha returns one day and preaches in the West, you may also sit on the lotus platform. Who knows?"

The emperor smiled in admiration, clenched his five fingers together, emitting clear Buddha light, and punched forward, unifying his strength.

Compared to his current strong body, the pain of the previous ten days was just like a dream. He dared not even recall it now. If he just imagined it, the unspeakable pain would completely drown him like a flood. At this moment, his mind was gloomy, and he said: "The Dragon and Elephant Bodhisattvas helped to rescue me from the underworld. It was an immeasurable grace. However, there is still something weighing on my heart, and I cannot rest for a moment."

Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva glanced at him and knew what he was thinking, and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, are you thinking about that Taoist?"

The emperor's face was gloomy and angry. He swept his sleeves suddenly and said with a hint of anger: "Yes, this thief is extremely vicious. I don't know where he stole my most precious human treasure, the Human Emperor Seal!"

"After that, he even secretly communicated with the underworld and colluded with the King of Hell to carry out private punishment!"

"I was able to be rescued and my grievances redressed, all thanks to the Buddha's boundless magical powers. I am just worried that the evil Taoist priest will not change his mind and will come here again after knowing that I have returned, thus ruining the Buddha's great cause..."

Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva glanced at him and knew what the emperor was thinking. He did not point it out, but just said calmly:

"It doesn't matter. According to what His Majesty the Human Emperor said, although that Taoist has some skills, he is no match for me."

"Since the Emperor is worried, I will naturally take action to help the Emperor eliminate the resentment in his heart."

The emperor had a look of joy in his eyes, but he bowed slightly, without showing any sign of worrying about the country and the people. Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva picked up a willow branch, swept it casually, and said lightly: "I have magical powers in Buddhism. I can see the three thousand worlds and countless causal changes, just like reading the lines on the palm of your hand. I can see them at a glance."

"If so, you can try that Taoist's method."

"Go!"

…

Because the Great Lord of Shangqing Lingbao raised his sword from time to time and gestured at the head, eyebrows, and heart of the young man in green, even the spirit of the weapon, who had always behaved recklessly, felt his scalp tingling and his spine chilled. After Qi Wuhuo finished writing the jade slip, he volunteered to take it with both hands, and took the green ox's waist badge to enter and exit the Heavenly Palace, and then left quickly.

He was afraid that if he left too late, the Great Heavenly Venerable Shangqing Lingbao would take advantage of the opportunity and chop him down with a sword.

Qi Wuhuo watched the spirit leave quickly, and then calmed down. He looked at the painting given by Queen Nuwa, and the mountain where he was living at the moment, as well as the courtyard on the mountain. He was absolutely certain that some changes had taken place in this painting.

Because this is a magic weapon from several eons ago.

There is absolutely no way that the place where I live now can be found up there.

In other words, there is only one possibility. The ray of human luck just now caused some changes to occur, resulting in an extra part on the scroll. If this is the case, then this magic weapon can continue to change? If the human luck can stimulate the transformation of the scroll, perhaps one day, the picture on the scroll will turn into the current world.

Become a humanitarian magic weapon that coexists with the destiny of humanity.

Maybe we can let Queen Nuwa return earlier.

Just as he was studying this magic weapon, the Gou Chen sword that was placed aside suddenly whistled, making a clanging sound. Qi Wuhuo's expression remained unchanged, and with a thought, the Gou Chen sword flew out and landed in his hand. With the sword in his hand, his Qi suddenly jumped up, and his soul and mind mobilized the [Tai Yi Gong Body] to a certain level, using the power of [One] without bursting out with all his strength.

The aura changed in an instant, and he swung his sword backhandedly, without ever unsheathing it, the long sword and the scabbard together slashed through the void.

There was a faint Buddha light blooming in the air, clear and bright, flowing and changing like a lotus. In just a moment, he used the sword technique [Intercept] that he created. In an instant, the Buddha light was cut off and scattered like a rain of flowers from the sky. In this Buddha light, there was a light laugh, and then there was a faint calm voice, saying: "Little Taoist friend, why are you so murderous?"

"Amitabha--"

"Haven't you heard that if you put down your butcher knife, you can become a Buddha instantly?"

The Buddha's light dissipated but did not extinguish, and turned into a Buddhist hand seal, pressing down towards Qi Wuhuo.

The Buddha's light was flowing and changing, with a grand and vast artistic conception of its own, pressing the surrounding void into stagnation. All things were silent, and above and below, only the vast Buddha's light was pressing down. Buddhism was clear, and the Taoist understood the origin of this Buddha's light. The Gou Chen sword struggled in the scabbard, wanting to be unsheathed, but Qi Wuhuo did not let the sword out, but pushed it forward with his backhand.

The palm was heavy, not a way to turn the world upside down, but his attainments in turning the world upside down were enough to make the Great Celestial Venerable nod his head reluctantly. The force of this palm was incomparably powerful, and the two energies of Buddhism and Taoism collided here, turning into a huge air wave that suddenly dispersed, and the young Taoist withdrew his palm.

The opponent's strength was too strong to be underestimated. The young Taoist shook slightly and actually took several steps back before he could barely hold on.

With a sweep of his sleeves, he dispersed the Qi directly, which rushed out of the doors and windows, turned into a torrent, rushed towards the sky, and slowly dissipated after a long time.

Qi Wuhuo stretched out his right hand, and in his palm, there was already a swastika character, emitting golden light and rotating slowly. It had a dignified and upright meaning, but also showed an extremely domineering attitude, eroding into Qi Wuhuo's body. All means, all magical powers of various sects could not stop it.

"With all my heart I surrender, and receive my body in segments."

"It is comparable to the Taoist Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and Five Qis Returning to the Origin. It is a test from the Bodhisattva."

"No wonder the palm power is so powerful..."

"I am just barely between human immortals and earthly immortals. It is really difficult for me to face a true lord."

"As expected of a Bodhisattva."

The young Taoist talked to himself, judging the gap between himself and this power, and then allowed this power to corrode his body. A clear golden light flashed in his eyes, and his Taiyi Gong body instantly erupted, sweeping across his body like a torrent. The power of the Buddhist hand seal was swallowed up in an instant and turned into pure Qi.

A tree without roots, water without a source, all things and laws cannot erode this body.

When this Qi entered his body, it was consumed and assisted Qi Wuhuo's practice.

It took a long time for him to calm down.

His expression was calm, without any change.

Meanwhile, in the imperial palace, Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva felt the oncoming force and was relieved. He had originally thought that it was some real sovereign in the human world who was not bound by the control of the heavenly realm who took action. However, judging from the level of his methods, although they were extremely pure and righteous, they had not yet gathered the power of the Five Qi. He was just a human immortal with a strong foundation.

He is just an immortal with profound skills, so what?

He has fallen into my Buddhist hand seal and will be seriously injured soon.

The emperor looked at the Bodhisattva nervously. The latter looked calm and said indifferently, wanting to establish his authority:

"It's okay, it's solved."

The emperor's face was stunned, with a feeling of ecstasy and disbelief mixed together. He wanted to laugh but couldn't. He could only let out a long sigh. He had never imagined that the Taoist who had destroyed his status as the Emperor of Man and thrown him into the underworld, making his life a living hell, could be suppressed so easily in the hands of this Bodhisattva, which fueled many evil thoughts in the emperor's heart.

Is this power?

This is power!

Seeing that his authority had been established, Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva said calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to envy my cultivation. You are the Human Emperor who is above all others. If you convert to Buddhism, I will give you many benefits. Moreover, even if Your Majesty is unwilling to give up all the sufferings in this world, we have another place for you."

"I only ask for one thing..."

The emperor was overjoyed and asked, "What is it? Just tell me, no matter what it is, I will agree to it!"

Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva smiled and whispered: "My Buddha is coming back."

"During the New Year, 13 million people from the capital and surrounding cities will participate in this Buddhist ceremony. The rest of Zhongzhou, Jinzhou and other cities will also worship the Buddha and build 108 pagodas to enshrine the Buddha's relics. They will fast for three months to seek sincerity."

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Is this a ritual?!

The Human Emperor's face changed. He was seeking fame after all. He knew at a glance that this was a matter of selling out the future and luck of the human race. Even he was unwilling to do it. He instinctively resisted and frowned. Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva was surprised that the Human Emperor actually had a bottom line, so he said lightly: "No need to do this."

“All things have no form, and all things have thousands of forms, but their true form is Tathagata.”

"When all living things reincarnate, they are no longer what they are now. They are all living beings. The Emperor is guiding them into the land of the Buddha's compassion. This is a great merit and an endless act of kindness. Even if they are obsessed with the flesh and blood of this life and resent Your Majesty, they are only blinded for a while. As time goes by, they will eventually understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

"It's far less than the casualties in the previous Jinzhou disaster. I just hope for a little luck."

"Besides..."

Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva looked at the Human Emperor in front of him, and saw that the bottom line on the latter's face was gradually retreating, and said in a gentle tone: "If Your Majesty is willing, we are willing to ask for a Star Lord status for Your Majesty."

"What do you think?"

The Emperor was silent, and said, "The position of Star Lord is just an illusion. I cannot abandon my people."

"In this case, it is for their own good to allow them to enter the Buddha's kingdom."

"It doesn't matter if you suffer a little in this life. When you reincarnate into the Western Paradise, you will understand my good intentions. I will bear the slight criticism."

Namo Wubian Guanxing Bodhisattva folded his hands and praised: "Your Majesty, you know how to give up and have a decisive decision."

"Having the Buddha's heart, having the Buddha's nature."

"Amitabha!"

…

“What? You want to confer the title of Luohou Xingjun, one of the Four Hidden Stars?!”

"Is the decree of the Great Lord of Justice a bit too much?!"

Under the Lingxiao Palace, Taiyin Yuanjun was so angry that his face turned pale, while the Justice Great Heavenly Venerable had a cold expression and said lightly: "It's just that when I reorganized the classics last time, I knew about this matter of the Human Emperor, and it matched the status of this Hidden Star, so I mentioned it just now. Today, the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable is in power, and you and I are ministers, just recommending talents."

"Only this Human Emperor has already suffered the disaster of the Four Hidden Stars of your Dou Department, and suffered casualties in Jinzhou for no reason."

"The Dou Department originally owed Jinzhou, so it also owed him. This is the first point."

"After encountering this natural disaster, he worked hard and made peace for the world. Afterwards, he ordered the expansion of the territory and defeated the demon tribe, thus eliminating this threat for our Heavenly Court. This is the second."

"The Human Emperor broke with Heaven eight thousand years ago and was unwilling to obey Heaven's orders. Now we have the opportunity to recruit him into Heaven and bring the human world back into the purview of Heaven. Isn't this a great opportunity?!"

Taiyin Yuanjun said: "How can you be the one to confer the title of Doubu Xingjun?!"

The Justice Great Celestial Lord bowed from a distance and said coldly: "What I said is in line with the rules of heaven, and the Great Emperor of Beiji Ziwei will not refuse it. As for your Dou Department, humph, there is no emperor in the Dou Department except Emperor Donghua!"

"Taiyin, if you want to reject my proposal, you need someone at least at the level of an emperor to come forward."

"Otherwise, wouldn't that be breaking the rules?!"

"you!"

The young Jade Emperor sighed secretly, watching the bickering between the Dou Department and the Tianshu Court, he lowered his eyes to look at the files on the table and frowned slightly. According to the rules of the ancient times, there was nothing wrong with the proposal of the Great Justice Lord. If the Dou Department wanted to ignore this recommendation that complied with the regulations and reprimand the other party, an emperor of the same level would need to step in.

But for some reason, the Jade Emperor felt that something was wrong——

When did the judiciary become so zealous?

Unfortunately, almost all of the Tianshu Court was under the command of the Justice, and the previous Justice Master, who was of a strong character, committed suicide...

What do you think sir?

The Jade Emperor subconsciously looked in the direction of Master Xuandu, but found that Master Xuandu had disappeared.

???

Sir, you...

Slipped away again?!

"Humph, the Dou Department is quarreling with the Tianshu Academy again. How boring..."

"Who cares about your title of Human Emperor or Star Lord? You have nothing to do with me. I'd better go back to making pills."

Master Xuandu yawned, flew away from the Lingxiao Palace on a cloud, and went to his own Xuandu Temple. He didn't care about the affairs of the world, the rules of the Dou Department, and the various documents from the ancient heavenly era. He even felt that they had a hypnotic effect. But on his way back, he saw Tong'er outside, looking inside in a daze as if he had seen a ghost.

???

"Why are you here instead of looking after my Bagua furnace?"

"What are you being lazy about?"

The great wizard angrily hit the two children on the head with his whisk. The two children covered their heads and said with grievance, "No, great wizard, there is a guest here, and we are a little..."

The great wizard said unhappily, "Didn't you say you wouldn't see any guests?"

"What are you two doing with those expressions? Have you seen a ghost?"

"Get out of the way."

The great master swept his whisk, and the gate of Xuandu Temple opened. He then walked in on the clouds and said calmly:

"Who are you, guest? You have come to my temple and disturbed my meditation?"

Master Xuandu entered and saw a young man in green standing there, admiring the scroll.

Carrying a piano.

Then he turned sideways, revealing a face as gentle as jade, and smiled, "Is it Xuandu?"

"Ah, you've grown so big..."

His face was full of nostalgia.

The expression on Master Xuandu's face froze instantly:

"?!!!!"
