"The goddess scattered flowers, and all living beings praised her...but I don't know which Buddha she was."
Hai Yuan looked at the temple shining with seven-colored divine light in the western sky. His eyes were a little complicated and vague.
As the leader of the Dragon Elephant Palace and an eighth-level cultivator, Hai Yuan felt a little nervous at the moment.
After he took over the position of sect leader from Huikong, he carried out drastic reforms in accordance with his teacher Gao Xian's instructions.
The Buddha and Bodhisattva originally worshipped by the sect were all changed to Tai Chi God!
That’s right, his teacher Gao Xian changed his name to Taiji God two hundred years ago, and Pojun God was his clone, enjoying worship and sacrifice from all over the Kyushu.
The other major sects in Jiuzhou were fine, except for the Dragon Elephant Palace, which was originally a Buddhist sect. This time, it was completely changed from top to bottom.
The sect's supreme secret techniques, the Great Power Heavenly Dragon and the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Prison, all came from the Dragon Elephant King, and were therefore changed to the Dragon Elephant God, who is also one of the incarnations of the Tai Chi God.
Such a huge change is unacceptable to many high-level people in the Dragon Elephant Palace. Many of the high-level cultivators have watched Gao Xian grow up step by step, and they all know Gao Xian's foundation. It is one thing to be afraid of Gao Xian, but they will not be fooled by Gao Xian.
This was not just a matter of changing beliefs, but also involved thousands of years of inheritance. Such a change was equivalent to cutting off the foundation of their Dragon Elephant Sect.
All the masters, including Huikong, were extremely angry and were about to cause internal strife in the sect.
For this reason, Gao Xian went to the Dragon Elephant Palace to take charge and transferred all the high-level cultivators who disobeyed him overseas.
With the presence of a great sage in person to give lectures, a group of capable talents were trained over the past few decades with Haiyuan as the center.
Hai Yuan knew in his heart that with the decline of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the sixth-level Pure Yang was only comparable to the previous Golden Elixir, or even inferior.
The Nine Continents Skynet also controls the spiritual energy of the Nine Continents. Without the permission of the Nine Continents Skynet, even a ninth-level cultivator would find it difficult to circulate spiritual energy and mana in the Nine Continents.
On the contrary, the attenuated but violent spiritual energy allows all intelligent creatures to develop a sense of energy and control some spiritual energy.
Within the Nine Continents, there are low-level cultivators everywhere.
By gathering the power of cultivators into a formation through Skynet, high-level cultivators can be easily suppressed.
It can be said that no organization or cultivator in Jiuzhou can resist Gao Xian. In fact, the same is true outside Jiuzhou.
Gao Xian was only in charge for a few decades, but he completely changed the tens of thousands of years of inheritance of the Dragon Elephant Palace.
Hai Yuan also benefited from this and received great training from his teacher. He was determined and talented, and he took advantage of this opportunity to break through the realm and advance to the eighth level.
He is only at the eighth level now, and the magic power he can circulate is equivalent to the fifth level of the previous Divine Transformation.
With this level of magical power, he is in no way worthy of the title of Heavenly Venerable.
Hai Yuan also understood that his teacher did not like other practitioners to call themselves Heavenly Venerable or Dao Ancestor. He only had two truly important identities: the leader of the Dragon Elephant Sect and the Commander of Haizhou.
Based on these two identities, he is the best in Haizhou, and no other cultivator can compare to him.
Even the ancient Master Huikong.
Over the past two hundred years, the cultivators have rotated through five or six generations. The Dragon Elephant Palace has been united and no one has mentioned the past, or the Buddha Lord or the Ming King...
Today, Hai Yuan was a little nervous. A temple fell from the western sky, and it looked like a certain Buddha.
He didn’t believe it before, so he didn’t believe it. Now that the real culprit is here, will this traitor be arrested and punished?
Haiyuan chose to follow Gao Xian, not only because Gao Xian had been his teacher, but also because Gao Xian was so powerful that he was invincible. Following Gao Xian was the wisest choice.
In life-or-death decisions, feelings are the least important factor.
The spiritual energy has decayed to this level, but the temple that descended from heaven is so grand and majestic. The seven-colored divine light not only turned into a temple, but even turned into a vast and endless paradise.
The seven-colored divine light cast a vision that was enough to cover all nine continents, and even the four seas and eight wildernesses!
The higher your cultivation level, the more you know how powerful this is.
With such magical power, could Gao Xian really resist it? Could Jiuzhou really resist it? Hai Yuan couldn't help but feel doubtful at this moment, but nothing was clear yet, so he couldn't rush to make a judgment.
"Evil disciple, why don't you turn back!"
At this moment, a low shout came from behind Haiyuan.
Hai Yuan turned around and saw Huikong with white eyebrows and beard walking out of the Dragon Elephant Hall.
Huikong was originally tall and strong, but due to the decline of his spiritual energy over the past few hundred years and various setbacks and difficulties, he looked very thin, his face was full of wrinkles, and his yellow monk robe looked particularly loose.
After not seeing each other for two hundred years, Haiyuan was a little surprised that Huikong had become so old.
Gao Xian was very polite to Huikong and other opponents at that time, and sent them to the East China Sea with courtesy and arranged for their resettlement.
Haiyuan knew that this was largely due to Rudian. On the other hand, his teacher was indeed tolerant towards his family.
Out of respect for Huikong, Haiyuan also left Huikong a teleportation decree so that the former ancestor could return to the sect at any time.
When the Heavenly Temple descended, Huikong also came back. This timing was really well grasped.
No matter what he thought, Hai Yuan still bowed respectfully to Hui Kong and said, "Grandmaster, you are back."
When Huikong saw Haiyuan bowing his head, he couldn't help but sneer: "It's only been two hundred years, and you have learned all the rules of Taoism."
"Whether it's God or Buddha, it's just what we desire in our hearts."
Hai Yuan said calmly: "Since the teacher has set the rules, we must act according to them. This will be good for everyone in the sect."
"You have advanced to the eighth level, but you are even more cautious than when you were in the Nascent Soul stage."
Huikong raised his long white eyebrows. He had always felt that Haiyuan was deep and selfish, and that he could neither shoulder heavy responsibilities nor achieve success in cultivation.
I didn't expect that he actually achieved the eighth level of enlightenment and successfully transformed the Dragon Elephant Palace. It can be said that he has extraordinary abilities.
Unfortunately, this kid has cut off the inheritance of Dragon Elephant Palace for tens of thousands of years! No matter from which aspect, Hai Yuan is a sinner of Dragon Elephant Palace.
"How dare I be disrespectful in front of the master." Hai Yuan was a thoughtful person and didn't care about Huikong's little ridicule.
Huikong was silent for a moment and then said, "Haiyuan, now that the Buddha has come, you still have a chance to turn back."
"Oh, how to turn back?" Haiyuan asked.
"Come with me to pay respect to the Buddha!"
When Huikong talked about this old man, his eyes sparkled and he seemed a little excited. He had practiced Taoism for tens of thousands of years, and his biggest dream was to enter the Pure Land of Buddha and attain enlightenment.
Now that the Buddha's land has come to the human world, how can he not be excited.
He felt that his cultivation was too low and he was afraid that he was not qualified to meet the Buddha. That's why he came to lobby Haiyuan.
If we can bring Haiyuan and Longxiang Palace with us to seek refuge with the Buddha, I think he will value us.
Hai Yuan shook his head slightly: "Teacher has already said that all the gods and Buddhas in the sky are not good people."
He advised earnestly, "Grandmaster, I know you are devoted to the Tao. But the situation is unclear now, so don't rush to pay homage to the Buddha."
Hai Yuan still had some respect for the ancestor Hui Kong, and he was willing to remind Hui Kong without damaging his personal interests.
At this time, he was also willing to establish a good relationship with Huikong.
The Buddha may not be reliable, but he is the supreme god above the Nine Heavens. Although Jiuzhou is strong and the teacher is strong, can they really stop the gods?
If Huikong really becomes the Buddha's disciple, he will have one more option in the future.
Huikong was honest but clear-minded, and he saw through Haiyuan's thoughts at a glance. He couldn't help but sigh, this guy was too cunning, and the situation was unclear, so this guy obviously wouldn't follow him.
"Well, it's up to you."
Huikong also came to terms with it. The Buddha was the incarnation of the Supreme Way and possessed supreme wisdom. He only needed to kneel down devoutly and not care about these trivial matters.
As for what happened to Haiyuan or Longxiang Palace, he couldn't control it.
Anyway, he converted to Buddhism and had to spread the great Dao, so his branch could also be passed on. The Dragon Elephant Palace in Haizhou had already become something else, so he was dead...
After returning to Wolong Island, Huikong led a group of high-level practitioners from the sect to the Western Wilderness to pay homage to the Buddha.
They couldn't use the Jiuzhou teleportation array to transfer, the journey from the East Sea to the West Wasteland was long, and the speed of the flying ship was extremely slow.
According to Huikong's calculations, if they flew there at this speed, it would take two to three years if everything went well.
Fortunately, the flying ship was large enough and had been prepared for hundreds of years. They also had the spiritual stones and elixirs accumulated by the Dragon Elephant Palace over tens of thousands of years, which were enough for them to consume.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Qingyun Sect, Shenxiao Hall.
"Teacher, Patriarch Huikong is leading his people to the Western Wasteland to pay homage to the Buddha. I dare not disrespect Patriarch Huikong. Please tell me how to deal with him."
Haiyuan bowed slightly and spoke in a very humble and respectful manner.
Gao Xian stood in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, his back to Hai Yuan. He knew the temperament of this cheap disciple, who feared power but not virtue.
If you are too nice to your cheap apprentice, Haiyuan will have a lot of messy thoughts.
Therefore, keeping a distance from this apprentice and maintaining a certain level of pressure can make Haiyuan calmer and smarter and make fewer mistakes. This is good for both parties.
Of course Gao Xian knew what Huikong was doing, and Haiyuan also knew that he knew it. This kid came here just to express his gesture. He is one of them, and he is not in the same group with Huikong!
"Daoyou Huikong, sigh..."
Gao Xian sighed softly. Of course he could stop Huikong's actions, but the other person was wholeheartedly seeking the truth, and no matter how kind he was, he couldn't stop Huikong.
Huikong has lived for tens of thousands of years and practiced for ten times longer than him! He must respect Huikong's ideas and respect his own choice.
Even though he felt that Huikong was like a moth flying into a flame.
On the other hand, he was indeed very curious about the Buddha of Bliss who had descended on the Western Wilderness.
The seven-colored divine light brought a huge heaven directly to the Western Wilderness, and the two worlds were able to merge naturally, which showed that the Lord of Bliss Buddha indeed had endless magical powers.
The Western Wilderness was Wanshou's territory. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wanshou retreated to Jiuzhou with the Evergreen Divine Tree and a group of heavenly-level cultivators.
In accordance with the prior agreement, Gao Xian accepted Wanshou and other evil practitioners and found a special place to accommodate them.
He actually had some opinions on this. Wanshou was running too fast and should at least stop and take a look at the situation.
After Wanshou ran away, the evil beings in the Western Wasteland lost their organization. Although they could still rely on the middle and lower level cultivators to maintain their organization, they would not collapse for a while.
Over time, problems will eventually arise.
But he couldn't blame Wanshou, because Wanshou was not his subordinate. It was better to join Jiuzhou than to join the Buddha.
Gao Xian was also afraid of the Buddha's power and did not dare to move.
Even with the memories of three gods, he didn't know what the seven gods were capable of. In the current spiritual environment, what level they could reach.
No matter what the considerations were, Gao Xian did not want to contact the gods directly.
According to Sister Bai, some evil creatures naturally converted to Buddhism after being illuminated by the seven-colored divine light and became devout believers.
Without anyone's instruction, the believers knelt on the spot and praised the title of the Pure Land Buddha, praying for blessings...
Such a powerful brainwashing method made Gao Xian a little afraid.
Fortunately, the Jiuzhou Dharma Realm is powerful and has undergone several adjustments over the past few hundred years. In addition, with the protection of the Skynet, no cultivator has been found to be influenced and converted by the Seven-Colored Divine Light.
Regardless of whether the Lord of Bliss is good or evil, this kind of forced brainwashing method is extremely terrifying.
Gao Xian was thinking of saying something to comfort Hai Yuan. Right now, the most important thing for Jiuzhou was to keep it stable and not let it get in chaos.
Before he could finish his words, Bai Yujing's voice came over: "The Lord of Paradise Buddha has sent someone..."
Bai Yujing holds the Taiwei Miro Jade Emperor Mirror, which can reflect the surroundings of the Pure Land. Although Gao Xian can also use the Great Power Heavenly Dragon to observe from afar, it is not as easy as Bai Yujing.
After being reminded by Sister Bai, Gao Xian also saw a golden light descending from the sky, penetrating the Jiuzhou Dharma Realm and entering the Qingyun Sect.
The Nine Continents Law Domain covers an area tens of thousands of miles high in the sky. No matter which cultivator wants to enter, they must penetrate the barrier of the Nine Continents Law Domain.
The Jiuzhou Dharma Realm is extremely vast. Under normal circumstances, it only serves as a warning and cannot intercept the cultivators who enter.
The cultivator who broke in had a very high level of cultivation. His aura was in perfect harmony with the Golden Book of Creation, and he had obviously reached the twelfth level.
However, this person's aura was deep and restrained, and Gao Xian was able to determine his level only through Sister Lan's analysis and calculations.
The cultivator was wearing a yellow monk's robe, a crown on his head, handsome features, a well-proportioned body, and his right arm was exposed. He was stepping on a golden lotus and took a step forward, crossing billions of miles of space.
The next moment, flowers fell from the sky, incense burned, and the originally dark Shenxiao Palace was illuminated by golden light. There were also faint sounds of thousands of Buddhist scriptures chanting in the void.
The extremely handsome monk in yellow robes had already arrived at the main hall. He smiled at Gao Xian and clasped his hands together in greeting: "I am Jin Yue, a humble monk. I am very sorry to have come to visit you. I hope you will forgive me for my abruptness."
He spoke politely, but like the host, with a kind of condescending arrogance.
Hai Yuan on the side was also shocked when he saw this. The monk came so suddenly. This place is the important place of Qingyun Sect, guarded by many magic arrays.
How could an outsider just barge in like that? ! Besides, his teacher is right here!
Coming to the door without even saying hello showed the other party's toughness. With his teacher's temper, even if he endured it for a while, the grudge was already made!
Gao Xian did not hide his displeasure. He frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the third direct disciple of the Buddha. Following the Buddha's order, I invite you to go to the Pure Land of Bliss to listen to the Dharma..." Jin Yue said with a smile.
"Listen to the Dharma?"
Gao Xian sneered: "I'm sorry, go back and tell the Buddha to thank him for his kindness."
Jin Yue restrained her smile and said solemnly: "The Buddha has passed on the Dharma to you. This is the opportunity you have cultivated for hundreds of lifetimes. How can you refuse such a great event!"
Without waiting for Gao Xian to speak, Jin Yue continued, "If you have wisdom and understand the wonderful Dharma, perhaps the Buddha will accept you as his disciple, and you will attain enlightenment and transcend all calamities..."
Gao Xian shook his head: "Not interested."
Jin Yue said calmly: "The Buddha has asked to see you, but it is not up to you to go or not..."
Gao Xian's face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of deepness. This bald guy is so arrogant! (End of this chapter)
