The limits of heaven and earth are all Buddhist kingdoms, and the vast territory is filled with pure lands, with the sounds of Buddhist chants echoing in the void.
Immeasurable Buddha disciples stand beneath the Bodhi tree and upon the golden lotus.
This Bodhi lotus flower is the very foundation of the two founders of Buddhism and is also a supreme sacred object of Buddhism.
At the highest point of the Pure Land of Boundless Buddha, sat three holy leaders.
A golden lotus bloomed in the void, and the Sage of Guidance sat on the lotus, his face full of sorrow, his eyes lowered, quietly looking at Laozi.
To the left hangs a Bodhi tree about ten thousand feet tall. The Sage Zhunti sits quietly under the Bodhi tree, with the Seven Treasures Tree resting across his knees.
A nine-colored lotus flower hangs on the right, with the energy of creation flowing on it. The goddess Nuwa sits on the lotus, surrounded by celestial light and countless rays of light.
Meanwhile, the group of demon saints were surrounded by the celestial light behind her, rising and falling, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Seeing this, Laozi remained indifferent, urging his green ox to step onto the Pure Land and slowly head towards the Bodhi Forest ahead.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of a Bodhi tree.
Beneath this Bodhi tree sits a Medicine Buddha statue.
At this moment, he was holding a flower basket in his arms, and behind him, Buddha's light swirled, revealing a pure land of crystal. Hundreds of millions of Buddhist disciples were kneeling in the pure land, chanting scriptures and praying. The incense and vows that permeated the world were almost materialized.
Upon seeing Laozi approach, the Medicine Buddha's expression changed drastically, and he leaped up from the lotus platform.
"I have long heard of the Humanist Cult Leader's boundless supernatural powers, and I am eager to learn a thing or two from him."
As Laozi rode his green ox closer and closer, the Medicine Buddha knew he had no way to avoid it, so he decided to go all out. He reached into his flower basket, took out a pestle, and leaped towards Laozi.
The pestle was raised high, as if preparing to smash it down on the top of Laozi's head.
However, just as he leaped up, before he even got close to Laozi, Laozi raised his hand and pointed, freezing him in mid-air for a moment.
A scroll of the Universe Diagram flew out from his sleeve and wrapped around the Medicine Buddha out of thin air.
This Medicine Buddha was indeed courageous, but ultimately his strength could not compare with that of a saint.
Before he could even make a move, he was captured by Laozi.
This truly proves what it means to be an ant before a sage.
Laozi reached out and summoned back the Qiankun Diagram. He held it in his hand and shook it gently. The two energies of Qian and Kun within the diagram instantly transformed into a large millstone, sandwiching the Medicine Buddha in the middle.
After the millstone had turned several times, the Medicine Buddha's physical body and primordial spirit had been ground into powder.
However, he was a famous figure on the Investiture of the Gods, so by the will of Heaven, his soul would not be scattered.
Laozi simply released the restrictions in the diagram, dissipated the energies of heaven and earth, and allowed the true spirit of the Medicine Buddha to fly out of the diagram and head towards the Investiture Platform of Zhongnan Mountain in the northwest.
In the distance, the Buddhist disciples in the boundless Pure Land saw this scene, and their faces were filled with grief and indignation.
The Medicine Buddha is one of the highest Buddhas in Buddhism, second only to the World Honored One Tathagata in terms of status and position.
He was also one of the disciples who followed the two saintly leaders the longest.
Today I encountered Laozi, the Supreme Lord, and was instantly sent to the Investiture of the Gods.
How can we avoid making many Buddhist disciples feel sad and sympathetic, like the fox mourning the death of its rabbit?
Laozi casually killed the Medicine Buddha, looking completely unconcerned, and continued to urge his green ox toward the next Bodhi tree.
But sitting under that Bodhi tree was Dipankara Buddha.
This person was originally a coward who was afraid of death. He only obtained the status of Buddha because he betrayed the Tongtian Sect Leader and defected to the Western Sect.
As Laozi slowly approached, he trembled as he rose from the lotus platform, his face deathly pale. The terror in his eyes was impossible to conceal…
...
Xiniu Hezhou.
Lingshan.
Led by the Buddha, almost all the Buddhist disciples came out.
At this time, only a few novice monks with little magical power remained in the mountains.
At the highest point of Lingshan, behind Leiyin Temple, sits a lotus pond covering hundreds of acres.
Within this lotus pond, a golden-bearded turtle is imprisoned.
He was none other than the famous Wuyun Xian of the Jie Sect.
And this Wuyun Xian was the head of the seven immortal attendants under the Tongtian Sect Master.
After being captured by the leader of the Buddhist sect, it has been kept in this lotus pond for tens of millions of years without freedom...
Just as the two Buddhist leaders, along with their disciples, set up a Lotus Bodhi Formation in Bianliang City, preparing for a decisive battle with the Human Sect and the Chan Sect.
At this moment, a middle-aged Taoist priest riding a Kui ox appeared outside Lingshan.
The Taoist was none other than Tongtian Shengren, the leader of the Jie Sect.
He rode the Kui Niu to the foot of Mount Ling and looked up at the mountain. He saw that the once bustling Mount Ling was now completely silent.
Although the mountains are still shrouded in Buddhist light and auspicious energy, presenting a scene of tranquility and peace.
Yet, even amidst this peaceful atmosphere, the Tongtian Sect Leader sensed an indescribable loneliness and decay.
He was suddenly filled with a myriad of emotions.
In the past, when the Jie Sect was at its peak, it was said that ten thousand immortals came to pay homage.
However, once their fortunes declined and their destiny shifted, the Jie Sect narrowly escaped annihilation.
Today, Buddhism is also experiencing a surge in popularity, with countless Buddhas paying homage to it.
But once their fortunes wane and their destiny is lost, how much better will their fate be than that of the Jie Sect?
...
However, the Tongtian Sect Leader was not one to wallow in melancholy. He only sighed for a moment before regaining his composure and his face returned to its usual indifference.
Then, he urged the Kui Niu to head straight for Mount Ling.
After entering the sacred mountain, no one blocked their way.
When they reached the mountainside, they were finally stopped by a group of young monks.
Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but chuckle.
Most of these young novices had only just entered the path and had not even attained the lowest level of Buddhist enlightenment, yet they dared to stand in front of him, a saint.
Of course, this is also because they were unaware of the identity of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
If they had known that they had stopped a saint from the Jie Sect, they probably would have scattered like birds and beasts long ago.
“Taoist Wuna, this is Mount Ling, a sacred Buddhist site for my family. How dare you barge in without prior notice?”
One of the leading novice monks shouted loudly.
The Kui Niu beneath the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly sneered, "A bunch of blind fools! In this vast primordial world, whether it's a sage's dojo, the Heavenly Court's Jade Pool, or even the Nine Netherworld's cycle of reincarnation, where can my sect leader not go?"
"My visit to your sacred mountain today is an honor for our humble abode, yet you dare to obstruct me; you are utterly courting death."
Just then, a Buddhist chant suddenly rang out from afar.
"Amitabha Buddha, why bother arguing with these ignorant brats, you ox..."
As he spoke, Amitabha Buddha slowly walked over from a distance.
He approached Kui Niu, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to the Tongtian Sect Leader.
"This old monk greets the Master."
Amitabha Buddha said very respectfully.
The Master of Heaven sat atop the ox, glanced at Amitabha Buddha from head to toe, and then slowly nodded...
