Each of the five statues of Buddhist masters has a mark.
It was to suppress the Great Sage!
The instant the statue was shattered, five illusory figures stood proudly in the sky, looking down at Lingyun.
"Young man, do you know that releasing this monkey will only bring disaster to the world!"
The phantom of the Buddha sat cross-legged in the void, his voice devoid of joy or sorrow.
Ling Yun didn't speak, but instead unleashed another sword strike, shattering the five illusory figures.
The moment the phantom shattered, the seal was instantly broken.
boom!
With a roar, the Five Finger Mountain exploded.
"Thirty thousand years have passed! Buddha, prepare to die!"
The Great Sage soared into the sky, heading towards the star field where the Buddha resided.
Ling Yun pulled him down.
"The Great Sage is still the same as always; he never holds a grudge overnight and resolves it immediately if he can."
"Thank you very much, young friend!"
The Great Sage's desire to break free from Lingyun's restraints was not a momentary impulse, but rather a desire not to implicate Lingyun.
He knew that Ling Yun had saved him and he would have to accept the karmic consequences. Only by severing these karmic ties as soon as possible could Ling Yun avoid being persecuted by Buddhism.
But is Ling Yun afraid of karma?
“Great Sage, you have consumed all the rare and precious herbs and elixirs in the world, and you are already immortal.”
The Buddha suppressed you for 30,000 years, making people eat your brains every day, which gradually eroded your primordial spirit.
Your current strength is less than 30% of your peak; going to the Buddhist ancestral land would be suicide.
Believe me, I will be free from all karmic burdens, and even if they do, I will not fear them.
After speaking, Ling Yun looked at A Bao and the others, and said coldly:
“Kill all the monks in the three temples. They were all spies planted by Buddha in the Golden Cloud Continent.”
"Okay, bro~"
After Ah Bao and his companions killed the Buddhist cultivators of Five Finger Mountain, they immediately headed to Heavenly Saint City.
Lingyun led the Great Sage to a valley not far away.
After sealing off the area, Ling Yun stretched out his hand, and the spatial gate opened wide, from which a drop of Immortal Emperor's essence blood suddenly floated out.
Upon seeing the Immortal Emperor's essence blood, the Great Sage exclaimed in surprise:
"Are you the Celestial Emperor?"
Ling Yun nodded slightly.
The Great Sage said to himself with a self-deprecating smile:
"Then why do you still call me senior? In the cultivation world, those who have achieved mastery come first. The karma of calling me senior is too heavy for me to bear!"
Ling Yun smiled and then injected the Immortal Emperor's essence blood into the Great Sage's brow.
"Great Sage, you are at the Great Perfection of the True Immortal Realm, just one step away from becoming an Immortal King. My essence and blood can repair the cultivation and primordial spirit that have been worn away over the past 30,000 years, and can also help you break through the shackles and become an Immortal King."
Then you will be able to compete with great Buddhist masters.
Thank you!
The Great Sage expressed his gratitude.
Thirty thousand years ago, the Great Sage converted to Buddhism and helped the reincarnation of the Buddha's chief disciple to obtain scriptures and cultivate himself, intending to temper his own character.
Who would have thought that the demons and monsters they encountered on their journey to the West were actually powerful figures from the Buddhist and divine realms?
They allowed demons to run rampant, all to help their eldest disciple cultivate, but it was the common people who suffered.
The Great Sage increasingly felt that this was different from the Buddha and the Tao in his heart.
Later, I learned that since the passing of Dipankara Buddha, Buddhism has completely changed, and Maitreya Buddha, who was known for his great compassion and sagacity, has been imprisoned.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who vowed not to become a Buddha until hell is emptied, is eternally sealed in the cycle of reincarnation.
These two truly great beings who sought enlightenment for the world were treated in this way.
This is because Buddha wanted all the heavens and myriad realms to become his world, so that all the spirits in the heavens would believe in him and obtain endless power of faith, thereby breaking through to the supreme realm.
Therefore, Buddha began his path of conquest: worlds that did not believe in Buddhist traditions would either be conquered or destroyed.
Later, Buddha colluded with the Black Dragon Clan, giving the ancestral Buddhist position to an elder of the Black Dragon Clan in exchange for the Black Dragon Clan becoming his pawns. When the Black Dragon Clan conquered a world, Buddhism immediately followed suit and spread its doctrines.
Upon learning the truth, the Great Sage will surely resist and stop it.
So the Buddhas intervened and replaced the Great Sage on the journey to the West with the Six-Eared Macaque, and the real Great Sage was suppressed in this place.
"My master was prevented from taking action by a powerful god, and my master knew the whole truth but remained unmoved."
My second junior brother fought for me, but he was treated as food every day, just like me. My third junior brother became the tenth skull on his neck.
The most pitiful white dragon horse, a noble member of the sea dragon clan, was turned into a spine sword.
Just because he spoke a word of justice for me!
After saying this, the Great Sage questioned:
"Is this the Buddha?"
Ling Yun replied:
"Buddha is not Buddha. Buddha has no form. Buddha is in the heart. All things in heaven and earth are Buddha."
The true Dharma resides in the heart of Dipankara Buddha, but he has passed away.
The one who is truly taking action is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but unfortunately he is sealed in the cycle of reincarnation.
The Buddha has always been there, but those who have attained the highest level of Buddhist practice have forgotten their original intention.
After a pause, Ling Yun looked at the Great Sage and said with utmost solemnity:
"You are the successor to Dipankara Buddha."
"Hehe..." Ling Yun laughed:
“Great Sage, you have always been my idol and the hero I admire. I want to be like you, daring to love and hate. However, for three thousand years, I have been imprisoned in my sect, single-mindedly pursuing the supreme realm.”
Today I want to do what you did and go crazy! How about we destroy a few Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?
"Ha ha……"
Upon hearing this, the Great Sage stood up, and a surge of heroic spirit suddenly erupted within him.
"If I become a Buddha, there will be no demons in the world!"
"What Buddha, what divine emperor, I'll just smash him with my staff... Wait, my Heaven-Reaching Divine Gold is gone!"
The Great Sage then remembered that his weapon, the Heavenly Golden Sword, was still in the Buddha's hands.
Ling Yun smiled slightly, and a stick appeared in his hand.
"Great Sage, this is a weapon I just forged for you using the Heaven-Refining Cauldron. Make do with it for now, and wait until the day you personally retrieve the Heaven-Reaching Divine Gold!"
"good!"
After saying that, the two of them soared into the sky.
Not long ago, they sensed five powerful auras traversing the star field and heading this way.
As the two appeared in the distant starry sky, they were met by five supreme experts.
Medicine Buddha and Ratnasambhava, two great celestial kings.
Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Avalokiteshvara are three great immortals.
The Medicine Buddha, with his dignified appearance, clasped his hands together and looked at the Great Sage.
"You impudent monkey, the Buddha suppressed you under the Five Fingers Mountain to help you eradicate your evil and comprehend the Dharma. After 30,000 years, you have not only failed to awaken, but your evil has become even stronger."
The Buddha said, "If you cannot attain enlightenment, then I will send you into the cycle of reincarnation!"
After speaking, he looked at Ling Yun, his tone slightly more respectful:
"Immortal Emperor Lingyun, this matter has nothing to do with you. Please leave immediately. Buddha said that if you leave today, all karma will be settled. If you do not leave this karma, even an Immortal Emperor cannot bear it."
His attitude was respectful, but his words were full of threats.
Hearing this, Ling Yun couldn't help but laugh.
"In the two thousand years since Emperor Cheng was founded, this is the first time he has been threatened!"
He looked at the Great Sage:
"Senior, I'll take care of Medicine Buddha and Ratnasambhava Buddha, and you take care of the three Bodhisattvas. Let's see who can kill them all first!"
The Great Sage was displeased.
"Leave the big ones to me, you handle the small ones!"
"Great Sage, my realm is higher!"
"Nonsense, I'm of a higher generation!"
"..."
Their words angered a group of powerful Buddhist figures.
"I will send you into the cycle of reincarnation!"
