Chapter 377: Picking the Buddhist Sect [4,000-word chapter]
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect has become a powerful faction.
The golden Buddha relic pagoda that Zong Shen had discovered in the Small Ten Thousand Gods Continent before was most likely also taken away by the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain the sudden rise of the Wanfo Sect.
That's why Zong Shen guessed that the reason why the Wanfo Sect suddenly closed its orthodoxy and chose to live in seclusion in the ancient times was because of that supreme treasure of Buddhism.
However, Zong Shen was determined to obtain that Buddhist treasure. Even if he couldn't use it himself, giving it to Fahai would be a good choice.
While thinking about the clues and information he had recently obtained, Zong Shen walked towards the east of the Continent of Ten Thousand Gods.
"arrive."
The eastern part of the Continent of Ten Thousand Gods is where the sun first rises.
The dozens of states here are connected together and are collectively called the Eastern States.
Now, this place has been completely occupied and ruled by the Buddha. Both the human forces originally in the east and the foreign races have been expelled and integrated, and most of them have converted to Buddhism.
In Buddhist terms, this is called salvation! .
Save all living things! Save everything! Save the devil!
The power of Buddhism to save all sentient beings is so great that it almost shakes the heavens.
Even the most evil demon can be transformed into a Dharma protector.
With this ability to save all things, the expansion of Buddhism became a natural thing.
The Buddhist teachings also spread rapidly in the fifty-six eastern states.
Let trillions of lives begin to believe in the mysteries of Buddhism.
The massive power of faith, like a surging river, continuously flows into the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
Given time, with the Buddhist sect's nature of saving all living beings, it won't take long for the Buddhist sect's profound principles to spread throughout the entire continent of all gods.
The Buddhist sect’s ability to preach is like the virus in the previous life.
With such great compassion and mercy, no one can withstand three moves of this method.
They could not help but feel guilty and converted to Buddhism.
It's just so mysterious.
The fifty-six eastern states all became part of the Buddhist influence.
In addition to the Wanfo Sect, there are also smaller Buddhist forces such as the Small Cibei Temple and the Great Tianpeng Golden Temple.
These forces are scattered all over the place.
Make the entire fifty-six eastern states more prosperous.
The goal of countless people is not to become an official, but to become a monk.
Temples of all sizes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
The incense is very popular.
Of course, the largest Buddhist force among them is still the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
The headquarters of the Wanfo Sect is located in Dongjizhou in the far east.
Zong Shen deliberately slowed down his pace and strolled casually in the sky above Dongjizhou.
Observing the situation in the fifty-six eastern states.
Studying the development trajectory of Buddhism.
In fact, according to the terrifying expansion speed of Buddhism.
In another few tens of thousands of years, it might be possible to unify the continent of all gods.
This is by no means an exaggeration.
Everything is related to the mysteries and religious models of Buddhism.
Zong Shen walked in the clouds, and each step could cover hundreds of thousands of miles, or even millions of miles.
As he walked, he was thinking.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at Dongjizhou.
Here, the entire state area covering millions of miles has been transformed into the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
The entire state was shrouded in Buddha's light.
These Buddha lights formed a hemispherical membrane.
Everyone who passes through the Buddha's light will leave a mark.
Unique Buddhist seal.
This means that everyone who enters Dongjizhou will be under the surveillance of the Wanfo Sect.
However, Zong Shen did not care about the Buddha's light.
He walked through the Buddha's light carelessly, but was not stained with any trace of Buddhism.
Although these Buddha lights are extraordinary, it is still a bit wishful thinking to want to leave a mark on Zong Shen.
Zong Shen walked into Dongjizhou very easily.
The entire East Antarctic Continent is filled with Buddhist music.
The golden light shines all over the earth.
It brings peace of mind.
They will not have any thoughts of greed, anger, or ignorance, making them easier to be controlled by Buddhism.
Occasionally, a Buddhist light descends to grant opportunities to devout believers.
After obtaining the Buddhist light, one's cultivation level can break through rapidly, and at the same time, one's understanding of Buddhism will become more profound. Such lucky ones who receive the Buddha's grace will be more loyal to the Buddhist faith.
This is also one of the Buddhist sect’s missionary methods, to create opportunities and expand influence.
In the center of Dongjizhou, there is a magnificent temple.
This is the main temple of the Wanfo Sect.
Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
It is also a holy place for countless devout Buddhist believers.
Every year, many believers come from all over the state, land on the ground thousands of miles away from the main temple, and begin to kowtow every three steps and bow every five steps, using their pious bodies to cross thousands of miles to worship the Buddha at the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.
There were a lot of such believers. Zong Shen looked around casually and saw countless of them.
The profound meaning of this Buddhist sect is indeed quite impressive.
Faith is actually a kind of spiritual power.
This Buddhist sect has long since mastered the use of the power of faith.
I have a lot of experience in gathering people's hearts and gaining their devout faith.
Except for these fanatics.
Many factions have developed within Buddhism.
For example, the so-called ascetic monks.
Temper your heart through constant suffering.
Trying to develop inner strength by enduring hardships.
In Zong Shen's opinion, although this method has some effect, it is inferior.
It is a very bad strategy.
As for developing inner strength, no one in the entire Pantheon Continent probably knows more about it than him.
He just observed leisurely.
Soon we arrived above the Wanfo Temple.
In the middle of the Wanfo Temple, there stands a tall tower that connects heaven and earth.
The whole tower is shining with golden light, full of Buddhist nature.
There are countless levels.
There are numerous windows and doors on each floor.
There is a unique Buddha light shining out from each portal.
This is the most precious treasure of the Buddhist world, the Golden Pagoda of Bodhi Relics!
Now taking a look, it is indeed quite extraordinary.
This golden pagoda overlooks the sky and the earth, and has countless layers and countless doors, each of which contains a relic of the Buddha.
The Buddha is equivalent to a transcendental powerful being.
No one knows which world or universe this golden tower came from.
It actually possesses so many Buddha relics.
Except for this golden pagoda of Bodhi relics.
There is also a huge shadow of the Buddha in the sky above the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
Sitting cross-legged in the sky.
Appearing and disappearing, kind-looking, smiling while holding a flower,
This is the current presiding Buddha of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
Originally, his cultivation was at the level of a Heavenly Venerable Buddha.
But now he has become the Buddha King of the Tianyuan realm.
This guy has some skills.
When Zong Shen approached.
The Buddha's shadow's expression changed.
Like a furious Vajra, he is awe-inspiring without even getting angry.
There is no more kindness on his face.
He looked at Zong Shen, with a hint of confusion and a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Look at you, bald dog!"
Zong Shen cursed with a smile.
The more dignified, pious and holy these bald dogs pretended to be, the less he would buy into it.
His clear voice spread throughout the fifty-six eastern states in an instant.
In addition, Zong Shen waved his hand to break the Buddha's light that enveloped Dongjizhou.
The scene of confrontation here spread throughout the fifty-six eastern states.
"Who is that person?"
"How dare you be disrespectful to the Buddha King? Aren't you afraid of being thrown into hell?"
In Buddhism, hell is preached.
Use hell as a contrast.
But he didn't expect that Zong Shen had already explored the real hell world.
The entire world of hell, even the incarnation of heaven cannot stop him in the slightest.
Countless Buddhist believers talked about it and felt that Zong Shen’s behavior was disrespectful and a serious offense.
It is a great sin.
It’s all because of the Buddha’s mercy, otherwise this guy would have been suffering in the eighteen levels of hell.
Suffering in every life to wash away the karma of disrespect.
"Why are you being so rude, benefactor?"
The Buddha King Shakyamuni looked at Zong Shen again and again. No matter what Buddha's secret method or universal salvation secret method he used, it could not affect Zong Shen in the slightest.
The most surprising thing is that the Buddha King Shakyamuni found that he could not see through this person's cultivation.
This is a very rare and bizarre thing.
As the Buddha King, he is the presiding Buddha of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
He is not as innocent and compassionate as he appears to be.
Buddhism is, after all, a lineage of spiritual practice.
The higher up the ladder, the less pure their faith is.
All the images and personalities are just to win over the faith.
In fact, few of these guys who have profound knowledge of Buddhism are truly compassionate.
The so-called theory of compassion is just a convenience to brainwash believers.
In essence, there is no difference between these hypocritical guys and those vicious monsters in the God-killing Pavilion.
The ultimate goal is to become stronger.
That is why they need countless believers to lay the foundation for them.
Of course, there are also truly compassionate people in Buddhism.
These people integrated their own will into the mysteries of Buddhism.
But after all, they are a minority and an outlier.
Zong Shen heard the question from King Sakyamuni Buddha and did not answer.
Just a mocking smile on his face.
"I came here today to destroy the Buddhist sect."
"The Buddhist sect can be retained, but it is not worthy of such a large posture and power."
Zong Shen had no intention of hiding his purpose.
Said nakedly.
But these words were tantamount to rubbing the face of King Shakyamuni Buddha on the ground.
If he can't handle this matter properly,
Then, the beliefs that have just been consolidated will inevitably be shaken.
This was something he could not tolerate.
"furious!"
"presumptuous!"
"The Supreme Buddhist Sect, the orthodoxy of heaven and earth, is it possible for a little thief like you who appeared out of nowhere to belittle yourself?"
The Buddha King did not speak, and the scene around him suddenly changed.
Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Lord Buddhas appeared in the sky.
Each of them sits cross-legged in his own Buddhist kingdom.
These Buddhist kingdoms are vaguely linked together.
Formed the Luotian Big Net.
It doesn't seem like Zong Shen is here to challenge, but rather like these Buddhas are judging Zong Shen.
But Zong Shen shook his head disdainfully.
He stretched out a finger from afar and lightly pointed at the huge net formed by the Buddhas in the sky.
This finger does not contain any power.
Just like an ordinary person, pointing casually.
But all the gods and Buddhas in the sky were frozen.
Those Buddha lights no longer flicker.
Completely frozen in place.
Then, the finger gently pointed over.
Zong Shen's mental network suddenly lit up.
The next moment, all the Buddhas in the sky were eclipsed.
It turned into black and white.
They are like lifeless stone sculptures.
Then, the stone sculpture began to crumble and fall off piece by piece.
Thousands of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and more than ten Buddha masters were all killed inexplicably by this one finger.
Completely fallen!
Clean and neat, without any drag at all.
In the fifty-six eastern states, all the believers were stunned.
In their hearts, the once solid faith in Buddhism and Taoism began to gradually collapse.
Even the Buddha Shakyamuni was like this.
An expression of disbelief on his face.
Where is the slightest bit of dignity and compassion?
He finally understood the horror of Zong Shen.
At that instant, the hearts of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were extinguished by that one finger.
Once the heart is destroyed, the body is vulnerable.
Lost the meaning of existence,
Just like a clay sculpture of stone, it pulverized into pieces.
The Buddha King Shakyamuni finally understood.
He stopped pretending, shook his whole body, and retracted his Dharmakaya form.
It transformed into the size of an ordinary person.
Fly quickly towards the Bodhi Relics Golden Pagoda.
After tens of millions of years of cultivation and refining, he seemed to have mastered some of the power of the Bodhi Golden Pagoda.
Wait until he entered the Bodhi Relic Stupa.
The entire golden pagoda rose into the air.
Crushing towards Zong Shen!
The Bodhi Relic Pagoda radiates infinite Buddha light, sacred and unapproachable.
This golden Bodhi relic pagoda contains at least 100,000 relics of the Buddha of the highest level.
This is equivalent to one hundred thousand transcendental powerful Heavenly Lords.
Even though all these heavenly Buddhas have passed away and only their relics are left, this golden pagoda is quite remarkable because it can accommodate them all and connect them together.
At this moment, the golden pagoda of Bodhi relics crushed down towards Zong Shen fiercely.
One hundred thousand transcendental Buddhas are chanting together, and various Buddhist mantras are connected together.
It transformed into a huge Buddhist seal, suppressing down together with the golden pagoda.
Zong Shen didn't even try to dodge.
He stood there with a leisurely smile on his face.
He watched helplessly as the Buddhist seal and the golden pagoda suppressed him.
“Boom!”
The golden pagoda directly suppressed him into the ground, and then the Buddhist seal turned into a talisman and was pasted on the golden pagoda.
“Boom boom boom!”
The sound of the Buddhist bell rang three times, echoing repeatedly between heaven and earth.
For a time, the authority of Buddhism rose again.
Those whose faith was shaken because Zong Shen challenged the Buddhist sect alone.
Faith in Buddhism began to be consolidated again.
However, the death of three thousand Buddhas and Bodhisattvas was still a huge blow to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.
Buddha and Bodhisattva are equivalent to saint-level and god-level strongmen, and are the backbone of the current struggle for hegemony in the continent of Ten Thousand Gods.
So much was lost for no reason.
This blow is indeed devastating.
On the surface, Sakyamuni Buddha resumed his majestic and dignified demeanor as a Buddha, but in fact, he had already cursed Zong Shen a thousand times in his heart.
If he was not worried that he would not be able to defeat Zong Shen without the golden pagoda to suppress him, he would have wanted to overturn the golden pagoda of the Bodhi Relics and capture Zong Shen and beat him up.
"Humph, this is a great evildoer of heaven and earth, trying to destroy Buddhism, and make you return to ignorance and fall into the abyss forever."
"This man's heart is worthy of death, but now he has been killed. After surviving this disaster, the power of our Buddhist sect will surely be further enhanced!"
The Buddha King Shakyamuni declared with confidence.
