Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 877 Suppressing the Emperor of the East

Faced with Chu Tai's move to seal the foundation, golden body, and Buddha fruit, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats naturally wanted to resist.

But the triple Dao fruit that Chu Tai dropped was itself derived from Donghuang Zhong's analysis and reorganization of the Dao fruit of the immortal Tathagata Buddha. It was also the root of Buddhism in the three time periods in the Three Pure Ones.

The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats may have transcended the power of Chutai's past, present, and future Buddha system in some ways.

But they are ultimately limited to the current time period and the current world.

Facing Chu Tai, who is blessed with destiny and has the triple third-grade Dao fruit with the Donghuang Bell as the foundation, the so-called resistance is nothing but a foolish dream.

The most important thing is that the Three Worlds Buddha Fruit system is inherently interconnected. Under the maintenance of the Donghuang Bell, they can blend with each other and vaguely condense into an illusory, pure white shadow of the Buddha.

This phantom itself does not conform to the normal Buddhist concepts, but its status is extremely high, and it can better suppress the foundation, golden body and Buddhahood of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

There is even a sign that the Buddha's phantom is about to devour all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

In order to resist the devouring and assimilation of this high level, the power of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats can only blend and communicate with each other to form an effective defense system.

After Avalokitesvara found that the [Wheel Reincarnation], [Golden Body] and [Arhat] derived from the Three-Life Buddha's Dao Fruit System were also in conflict with the pure white Buddha, the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats consciously relied on the three-fold Dao Fruit of [Wheel Reincarnation], [Golden Body] and [Arhat] to resist the pure white Buddha's phantom.

During this process, Guanyin Bodhisattva also discovered some problems.

This compassionate Bodhisattva discovered that many of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats around him had lost most of their wisdom and rationality, and their hearts were filled with greed and desire for spiritual energy.

'How could this be?'

Similar to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva are Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. After they looked at each other, Chu Tai, who was looking in front of them, had a somewhat strange expression on his face.

Because in their perception, although the threefold Dao fruits of [Wheel Reincarnation], [Golden Body] and [Arhat] activated by Chu Tai suppressed the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats, they also restrained the desires in the hearts of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

The six supernatural powers of the Daoguo [Wheel of Reincarnation], combined with the Buddhist destiny in the Blue Lotus Treasure Color Flag, gathered the names of all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats on it, and left behind [Precepts] to restrain the seven emotions and six desires.

The [Golden Body] Dao Fruit appears to be a confluence of cause and effect and karmic fire, but its inner core is [concentration] and [tranquility]. Combined with the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus, it can help the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats stabilize their minds, gradually restore rationality, and realize [Prajna].

The last [Arhat] knows suffering, stops the accumulation of causes, desires extinction, and practices Taoism. He cooperates with the seven elements of earth, water, fire, wind, space, vision, and consciousness condensed on the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to enlighten [space] and maintain [Prajna].

It can be said that the threefold fruit of the Dao, namely, [Wheel Reincarnation], [Golden Body] and [Arhat], while suppressing the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats, are also guiding them to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

Compared with the original Tathagata Buddha, the one in front of him seems to be more in line with the concept of Buddha in a practical sense.

Such a thought arose in Guanyin Bodhisattva's mind, and it quickly gained the recognition of many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats who still retained their rationality. Even the few former die-hard fans of Tathagata Buddha could only admit that Chu Tai did a better job in this regard.

Naturally, this thought could not be hidden from Chu Tai, who had mastered the triple Dao fruit. He looked at the complex expressions of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats towards him. The terrifying demon behind him slowly fell to the center of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, overlapping with the pure white shadow of the Buddha.

This action immediately caused the diehard fans of Tathagata Buddha, who had previously had to admit that Chu Tai had done a good job, to start cursing in the network jointly constructed by the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

"It is indeed a demon. All his enlightenment and guidance are just preparations to pollute us!"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he was immediately punished by the [Precepts] derived from the [Wheel of Reincarnation] Dao Fruit. At the same time, the cause and effect, and sins carried by the [Golden Body] Dao Fruit evolved into karmic fire that burned his mind. He almost fell to the ground in pain, rolling over and wailing.

It was a pity that the seal of the triple Dao Fruit left him no room to move.

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not think so. She refuted the moment the man opened his mouth: "This great man has already understood the fundamentals of Buddhism. He must know that simply twisting the way cannot completely change us. If he does this, he will definitely..."

Before he could finish his words, the man suffered backlash, and the power of the demonic form was connected to everyone. The most inspired Guanyin Bodhisattva was the first to feel the terrifying concept hidden under the demonic form.

The wailing of countless creatures, the despair of endless creatures, the cries of all things in the world being reformed by the two supreme beings of the East and West Heavens.

Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but shed tears, shock, shame and pain emerged in her heart.

It's not like she hadn't seen the impact of some of the turbid air before, and it's not like she didn't know the impact of some of the turbid air, but she had never imagined that such a huge amount of despair, pain, and curse had accumulated in that turbid air.

The golden body of Guanyin Bodhisattva began to show spots of rust, the heavenly clothes and necklaces on its body lost their luster, dirt continued to grow, and the body gradually emitted an unpleasant odor.

Several Bodhisattvas nearby were suddenly shocked and tried to cast spells to rescue him, but Guanyin Bodhisattva did not react at all.

Chu Tai, who was above, saw this and sneered, "The Five Deteriorations of Heavenly Beings? Do you think you can get rid of your sins like this?"

Chu Tai's voice contained the power of the triple Dao fruit of [Wheel Reincarnation], [Golden Body] and [Arhat], which was like the sound of thunder vibrating the eardrums and pulled Guanyin back from despair. She looked at Chu Tai and bowed slightly.

"Please give me some guidance, great virtue."

The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Arhats nearby were horrified, firstly because it was the name of Guanyin, and secondly because Guanyin could move.

They all saw that the reason why Guanyin could move was not because of her high level of cultivation, but because her Buddhahood was close to collapse, making it impossible for the three levels of Dao Fruit, [Wheel Reincarnation], [Golden Body] and [Arhat], to restrain and suppress her.

Chu Tai also saw the despair of this truly compassionate person in front of him, and asked back: "How much of your previous deception was due to your own carelessness, and how much was due to being deceived by the fake Buddha?"

"Although I was deceived by the false Buddha during this period, it was also my fault. Even if I was just a little careless, it would be wrong."

After Guanyin finished speaking, she kowtowed to the demon.

"Instead of kneeling down and begging for forgiveness, it is better to carry it on your back. Your inspiration is the most vast, so you might as well feel why I placed this demon here."

Facing Chu Tai's words, Guanyin sensed silently, and immediately realized that after the demon and the pure white Buddha combined, they blended and neutralized each other, and under the guidance of the threefold fruits of [Wheel Reincarnation], [Golden Body], and [Arhat], and under the guidance of the power of all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, they gained a little relief.

Wisps of black air were constantly dissolving from the demonic image, and the despair, wailing, and curses of the many dead souls whose spirits had been devoured were fading away. They were comforted to a certain extent, and with the help of the Buddhahood and power of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, they gradually crawled out of the horrible "mud" and were able to enjoy peace in the Pure Land and the Buddhist Kingdom.

Upon noticing this, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's heart trembled slightly, and white light suddenly flowed from his brows. Then, compassion arose in his heart, and the light of his heart shone through his body. Gradually, solemn and ethereal Zen chanting sounded all around, and a fresh and strange fragrance spread in the surroundings.

The fusion of the three levels of Dao fruit, [Wheel Revolving], [Golden Body] and [Arhat], actually pushed the current Buddha system's [Golden Body] Dao fruit forward a step, allowing its corresponding second-level Dao fruit, [Bodhisattva], to appear vaguely. "Amitabha, well done! Well done! Congratulations to the monk for regaining his Zen mind, and the future is promising."

"If you can't save the many resentful thoughts in these demonic forms, what's the point of being a Bodhisattva? What's the point of becoming a Buddha? You're nothing more than an obstacle like the fake Buddha before."

After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and silently recited scriptures to the demon. With his own compassionate Buddha nature, he led the fallen sentient beings to transcendence.

The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats who were able to sense his compassion paid homage to him in their hearts and chanted scriptures with him to guide the lost sentient beings.

Watching the entire Lingshan Mountain gradually forming into one, slowly pulling in the many sentient beings that were sinking into the turbid air in the demonic phase, Chu Tai ordered Chang Xuan, Xie Ling, and Fu Ying to guard this place, and then looked at the Pleiades star official and said, "Follow me to the Heavenly Palace and completely bring the Three Realms under our control."

"Follow the law!"

The four of them bowed and then the Pleiades star official followed Chu Tai towards the Dongtian Palace.

At this time in the Heavenly Palace, all the gods and immortals were already busy.

First, the three goddesses Qingniao, Suhua and Yuzhen, who usually lived in seclusion in Yaochi and were in charge of wealth, fortune and literature, rushed into the Lingxiao Palace in a hurry.

Before the Emperor of Heaven, who was convening all the gods and immortals to discuss the matter, could speak, the Blue Bird Goddess hurriedly said, "It's bad. All the nine thousand peach trees in the Yaochi have withered."

As soon as he finished speaking, another divine general from Chonghua Palace arrived.

"Report, the thirty-three evil demons suppressed in Chonghua Palace are shaking the Demon Suppression Well, and the demons may break free at any time."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven looked down. At this moment, Wang Lingguan was not there and Erlang Shen was missing. He looked at Nezha, whose eyes were lifeless, and said, "Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, listen to my orders."

Seeing the worried expression of Tota Li Tianwang, Nezha took a step forward and knelt on one knee.

"You will lead the thirty-six Thunder Gods to Chonghua Palace to suppress the demons and quell the unrest. Anyone who stirs up trouble will be killed without mercy!"

"Respect!"

After Nezha finished speaking, a wind-fire wheel appeared under his feet and he turned into a beam of fire and disappeared.

But as soon as he left, the Golden Horned Boy and the Silver Horned Boy from the Bajing Palace hurriedly ran to the Lingxiao Palace and cried to the Emperor of Heaven.

"Something bad has happened! The Three Pure Ones Talisman left by Laojun in the Bajing Palace has been contaminated by a black gas, which has turned into poisonous gas that permeates the palace. Now all the elixirs in the palace have turned into evil black lotus objects."

The gods and immortals were horrified when they heard this. The two greatest treasures of the Heavenly Palace that continued the life of the gods and immortals had problems one after another. But before they could react, black gas rose from the human world and covered the Lingxiao Palace.

Seeing this, the pagoda-holding Heavenly King Li's expression suddenly changed: "No, Lingxiao Palace is the highest point in the heavens. Where did the dark clouds come from to cover this place?"

The Emperor of Heaven above spoke slowly at this time: "This energy is nothing else but the turbid thoughts of people, which is transformed by the calamity of heaven and earth."

Zhang Tianshi below heard this and stepped forward to ask: "May I ask the Heavenly Emperor, what is the solution to this calamity?"

"This is a catastrophe for the three realms. It is destiny. There is no solution. We can only deal with it. All gods should do their jobs and run the cycle of heaven without slacking off."

Faced with the answer of the Emperor of Heaven, Zhang Tianshi was still a little confused, but he did not dare to continue asking. Just as he was thinking about how to speak again, a voice rang out.

"When the heaven and earth were created, the pure air rose and the turbid air sank. Therefore, the sky is not the sky, but the air. The earth is not the earth, but the air. When the heaven and earth rotate, there will naturally be times when the pure and turbid air are reversed. Your time has come, Heavenly Emperor."

Chu Tai walked slowly. Unlike the black mist that was rising when he climbed Lingshan Mountain before, at this moment, divine light was flowing around Chu Tai and the sun appeared behind his head. Before he entered the Heavenly Palace, dozens of golden-armored generals and goddesses were clearing the way in front of him.

Countless wonderful flowers covered the road, wisps of heavenly fragrance flowed in all directions, and there were many celestial guardians holding banners, pennants, banners, cloaks, festivals, flags, streamers, flags, fans, umbrellas, and covers, and each item was divided into several or even dozens of types.

For example, there are more than eighty kinds of flags, including sun flags, moon flags, cloud flags, thunder flags, wind flags, rain flags, etc., which cooperate with each other to either mobilize the power of the twenty-eight constellations, or bring about the breath of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and are accompanied by the sun, moon and stars.

So much so that when Chu Tai actually walked into the Heavenly Palace, the number of imaginary gods standing beside him was no less than that of the gods and immortals standing beside the Emperor of Heaven.

Looking at Chu Tai who was surrounded by many illusory heavenly generals and goddesses, the Emperor of Heaven slowly said, "Should I call you Emperor of the Sun, or True Lord Qingtong, or Immortal Taiyi, or Buddha Lord Sanyi, or Demon Ancestor Taiyi?"

"Except for Demon Ancestor, you can call me whatever you want."

Chu Tai's indifferent response made the Emperor of Heaven unable to help but sneer: "Interesting, it is obvious that the term Demon Ancestor is the most suitable for you now, but you are unwilling to admit it. It's really ridiculous."

"You can call me Demon Lord, Demon Lord, Demon Head, or Evil Outlaw, but I cannot bear the title of Demon Ancestor. After all, I am not the source of all the demons in this world. Also, Tathagata Buddha has already gone down by himself. Do you plan to leave by yourself like him, or do you want me to send you off? Be quick, so that everyone can feel more relaxed."

"If you wanted to be more relaxed, you wouldn't have conjured up these imaginary heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, heavenly maidens, and innocence in advance."

The Emperor of Heaven looked at the many phantoms around Chu Tai with a look of fear in his eyes.

Although these illusory beings holding various objects are not real, the Emperor of Heaven can also see that there is a divine talisman suppressing them inside, maintaining a little reality and being able to burst out with power for a short time.

This means that they cannot be completely regarded as illusory existences, so he wants to test the bottom line of the power of these existences.

Chu Tai naturally would not give him a chance and sneered, "You are talking as if you haven't managed the heavens to be impenetrable. I just don't want to get into a tug-of-war with you, so I specially summoned these phantoms. Since you don't want to leave, I can only spend some effort."

The heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, heavenly maidens, and innocent people all around shook the instruments in their hands. Suddenly, countless flags fluttered, countless streamers rotated, and forbidden runes such as the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the twenty-eight constellations, yin and yang, the five elements, etc. shone brightly. As Chu Tai flipped his palm, it turned into an illusory light curtain covering the whole sky, shrouding the immortals, gods, and the Emperor of Heaven.

The Emperor of Heaven stood up, and countless horrific natural disasters appeared under his feet, vast and mighty, like a tidal wave blocking the way ahead. Endless vitality continued to rise, transforming into numerous lotuses and rays of light, giving birth to destruction, rebirth, and destruction again...

However, such changes could not last long under the suppression of the dark clouds over the Lingxiao Palace and with the full support of the Donghuang Bell behind Chu Tai.

As the myriad of brilliant lights converged inward, flags, banners, banners, pennants, flags, fans, umbrellas, and covers gathered together, absorbing the dark clouds and turning into a stone tablet to suppress the Emperor of Heaven.
