Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 359: The Buddha and the Buddha Discuss the Dao

Yang Qingshan was full of fighting spirit. He took the lead in attacking and slashed at the red-haired Taoist with a knife!

"Are you using someone's hand to spread the Dao?"

The red-haired Taoist's eyes were cold and sharp, seeing through some essence, and he laughed in anger,
"What a good move! Disperse the Dao first, then unite the Dao! Even if you risk having no afterlife and being imprisoned for eternity, you still want to fight me?!"

"Come, I want to see how capable you four pseudo-saints are. Even if you are real saints, I have killed as many as you!"

With his keen eyesight, he could see at a glance the special circumstances of these four people.

He dispersed his own Dao fruit, and then merged with the Dao of the universe, and with the help of the power of the universe, he barely stepped into the realm of true sainthood.

It is said that the true saints have elevated them, but they are just false saints who have borrowed the power of the universe and barely have the status of true saints.

The core of the words "true" and "holy" is not "holy" but the "truth" in seeking truth.

Seek your own truth and attain the immortal fruit of the Tao.

The further along this road one goes, the more emphasis is placed on the elimination of cause and effect, on consolidating one's own time and destiny, and gradually reducing one's involvement with the universe, ultimately leading to the attainment of transcendence.

The more “relaxed” you are, the more unfettered and free you will be.

However, these four people did the opposite. They took advantage of the favorable time and location created when the three of them came to the universe, and gained the favor and blessing of the universe.

After this battle, not only will they die, but they will also be completely "imprisoned" by the will of the universe and become part of it.

“Don’t even mention the four of you who have reached the Saint Realm through special means. Even if they are four True Saints, I will kill them all today!”

The red-haired Taoist shouted loudly, and the four killing swords around him hummed and vibrated, emitting endless killing light, as if they were carrying out the killing calamity of heaven and earth!
The four gods didn't say much.

A heavenly sword shot out from the Federation, and Qin Tianfeng raised the sword and slashed. It was simple and direct. The sword light was as bright as the sun across the sky, sweeping across the heaven and earth, eclipsing the galaxy, and confronting the red-haired Taoist's killing sword head-on!
"A hijacking weapon?!"

The battle situation changed suddenly and the saints were overwhelmed.

The four members of the Federation who were half dead before, now burst out with the aura of a true saint. The four of them joined forces and faced the red-haired Taoist head-on.

The sword held by Qin Tianfeng was actually the Heavenly Disaster Soldier that could suppress fate and destiny!

At this moment, not only Qin Tianfeng was in harmony with the will of the universe, but the sword was also sublimated. The sword light was countless, immortal and indestructible, illuminating the hearts of countless creatures and reflecting myriad scenes.

Even when colliding with the red-haired Taoist's killing sword, he was not at a disadvantage and became the main force in this battle!

Chi-

Seeing that these four people actually blocked the red-haired Taoist's full-strength attack at the same time, all the supreme beings in the worlds were shocked.

The latter immediately attacked with all his strength, and his killing power reached a new level, which almost frightened all the saints and they absolutely did not dare to fight him head-on.

Even if it was their holy soldiers, if they fought head-on, they would probably suffer considerable damage within a few rounds.

But the most shocking thing was the dark golden figure sitting at the highest point of heaven and earth!

It was as if the place where He sat was the center of the pure land of the infinite universe.

His attainments in Taoism are so high and his Dharma appearance is so solemn that even the true body of the demon Zhou is as small as a mustard seed in front of him.

"That's... Mu Shitian?!"

A supreme being was shaken in his heart.

Of the seven members of the Federation, this man was the most mysterious to them.

The only True Saint in all realms who had dealt with him was Daoyi of Wanjie Mountain.

"Where is Fellow Daoist Wanjie? Is this person really that Mu Shitian?!" someone asked, but did not find Daoyi's true form on the scene.

Xuan Chongyang frowned and tried to contact Daoyi, but he couldn't get through.

The catastrophe had clearly begun, but Daoyi hadn't appeared for some reason.

Just now.

Countless beings and powerful beings from all realms witnessed this horrifying scene—

The giant Buddha, who seemed to be holding the entire universe in his palm, slowly closed his palm and easily crushed the majestic Dharma image in his palm!
It’s like a “return gift”.

To repay Wu Zhou for crushing the stone statue with a palm not long ago.

The impact of this scene made countless people unable to recover for a long time. They only felt a blank in their minds and the world seemed a little distorted.

"Wu Zhou...Wu Zhou's true body was destroyed just like that?!" someone murmured.

"That's right, this is indeed the true body of the Heavenly Demon. Even if Wu Zhou has some backup plans, this one is indeed the true body of the Heavenly Demon!"

Someone confirmed it again and again, and it was unbelievable.

The demon who was so rampant and looked down upon everything, even the True Saints were not taken seriously by him, just died like that? !
The True Saints of all realms despise the Four Demons, but that does not mean they dare to underestimate them.

At least among the true saints in all realms, no one dares to say that he can fight against any of the four demons alone.

Only the five pillars of the past, with their home-field advantage, can single-handedly defeat the four demons.

And after so many years, the Four Demons did not stop where they were. For example, the Three Thousand Killing Diagrams just revealed by the Dead Demon Red-haired Taoist were proof that he had taken a step further and was infinitely close to transcendence.

In this situation, the saints estimated that even if the five pillars returned, it would be difficult to repel them, and at best they could barely remain undefeated.

But now, this demon who represented "invincibility" fell so easily in the palm of the Buddha.

There is no reunion of the Dharma.

It is a real demise!

"Is Wu Zhou really dead?"

One supreme being couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Zhou is one of those paper-made people who looks strong but is weak inside?"

"Where is the Lord of All Things? Isn't it rumored that he is still fighting with Wu Zhou?"

"Instead of doubting Wu Zhou, you might as well doubt Mu Shitian!"

"Could it be that this person has already found the way to transcendence and has walked a long way on this path? But he has only been practicing Taoism for a few years?!"

The saint from Dode Palace asked in a deep voice, his tone full of disbelief and even unwillingness.

"If not, how could we suppress our Zhou so easily?" Another saint carrying a longbow suppressed the ripples in his heart and sighed softly.

When one reaches the level of a true saint, if one wants to continue to improve, one must use the river of time as a whetstone and summarize one's own timeline.

But this path is not a direct path to transcendence.

For a true saint, whether or not they find the way to transcendence makes a huge difference, as it determines whether they stay where they are or get infinitely close to transcendence.

It has only been ten thousand years since Mu Shitian was born, but he has not only set foot on the path to true sainthood, but has also found the path to transcendence and gone a distance even greater than that of Wu Zhou?

With such "good luck", who here dares to say that they don't feel a little bit of envy and jealousy?
At this time, a young man holding a halberd with a calm expression appeared among the saints.

"Daoyi!"

"Fellow Daoist Wanjie, what took you so long?"

Daoyi's aura was deep, and he looked like a volcano about to erupt. With a cold look, he looked in the direction of the Four Guardians and said coldly:
"Mu Shitian, He Donghuang, at least one of them is still alive!"

The saints looked at each other, somewhat speechless.

"Fellow Daoist, you are late." Someone tactfully said that on his way here, Mu Shitian of the Yanhuang Federation had already killed Wu Zhou with great ease.

Judging from the current situation, this red-haired Taoist priest is probably not going to live long. It all depends on Mu Shitian's thought!
Daoyi's eyes suddenly fixed on the golden statue of Buddha that held the universe in the palm of his hand.

"Mu Shitian!"

After hearing what everyone said, Dao Yi said decisively, even sneering:
"If Mu Shitian really had such great power, he could have taken action earlier. Why did he need to use the hand of the Death Demon, let Ke Qingxiu and the other three disperse, and then entangle the Death Demon?"

"There is no way I, Zhou, could die so easily!"

"Also, have you forgotten? Today's focus is on the 'Four Guardian Stars'! But the Yanhuang Federation took the initiative to invite the four demons to enter, and the Death Demon attacked without any scruples, directly slashing open the complete universe opened up by the Four Guardian Stars!"

Some people in the crowd realized it later and looked solemn. Just the fact about the Four Guardian Stars was indeed a major doubt.

Daoyi looked around, but did not find Shouzhen of Tiansheng Lake or the old peacock of Wude Palace.

The only ancient-level beings present today, besides him, are Yin Yang Taoist and Xuan Chongyang of Tian Di Xuan Men.

Just when many supreme beings became suspicious of Daoyi's words.

The great Buddha who crushed my Zhou Tianmo's true body with one palm lowered his head and said in a calm tone:
"It is impolite not to return the favor. My fellow Daoist Zhou, why don't you show yourself?"

The rumbling heavenly sound spread throughout the world.

In the dark void, someone smiled and asked:

"How did Daoist Fellow Shi Tian guess that?"

The Buddha only replied with eight words:

"The demon is dead, where is the Buddha?"

Wu Zhou laughed loudly: "The one who knows me best is Daoist Shi Tian! May I ask Daoist Shi Tian, ​​where are the real Four Guardian Stars hidden by you?"

The Buddha said calmly: "I say, do you dare to believe it?"

"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to speak. I will make my own judgment. Besides, this trap is too crude. It should not have been set by you, right?" Wu Zhou teased.

"I knew you were cautious and suspicious, but I never thought you would 'send' Daoist Friend Yan into it, and the latter actually agreed, seemingly completely unprepared for you."

Mu Shitian sighed softly in his heart.

To surround and kill a demon like Wu Zhou who has been rampant for countless calamities is as difficult as transcending it.

Especially since the great way of Wu Zhou is based on transforming one into ten thousand, no one knows when he is the real body and when he is the clone, and the transformation between the real and the fake happens in just a moment, which is a hundred times more difficult than immortality.

In a sense, if one wants to surround and kill Wu Zhou, one has to step into the state of transcendence, so that one can overwhelm others with the state, and then crush this beast to death without any suspense.

Or...

Put them in a situation from which there is no escape.

Once they enter transcendence, they no longer have this hope.

Fortunately, the Federation has the conditions to meet the second requirement.

They learned from Hela that the reason why the four demons initially targeted the Yanhuang Federation was because of Wu Zhou.

Wu Zhou could sense that the Federation had something that matched the avenue it needed, but he didn't know what it was. If he knew, he would never enter the Federation.

Because that is - the sea of ​​suffering in the world!
The sea of ​​suffering in all the worlds can indeed enable people to successfully merge with the sea of ​​the Tao and embark on the path of transcendence, but it is absolutely not suitable for Wu Zhou's path.

The reason why Wu Zhou has such a perception is because of the "adding fuel to the fire" by You Hai.

Under this premise, they naturally chose to set up the game with four guarding stars.

However, this creature is cautious and suspicious. He will never take any risks before figuring out what secrets are hidden in the Four Guardian Stars.

Even if they put the Four Guardian Stars there openly, Wu Zhou would not enter in person.

That was just a test.

As expected, under their false and real designs, Wu Zhou was too lazy to even set foot in with his clone, but instead instigated the Death Demon to enter. He was certain that Mu Shitian was still alive in the world, and later he did not hesitate to descend into the world as a true demon, trying to forcibly break through the Ni Wanling formation and force Mu Shitian to surrender.

The demise of the true body of the devil was a great escape, repaying Mu Shitian for part of his "enlightenment" karma.

Where is enlightenment?
Of course it is "Buddha".

Ten thousand years ago, Wu Zhou had reached an agreement with two other fellow Taoists to exchange the throne with Hela.

The reason why 01 and Yan agreed was because this action could prevent the possibility of Hela's return.

"It's okay." Wu Zhou said with a smile, "Brother Yan has long been accustomed to being 'sold out' by us. After all, Brother Yan is highly skilled and courageous, and his killing power is amazing. How could he care about these things? Even if the five pillars of the past surrounded and killed him, Brother Yan is confident that he can fight his way out."

Mu Shitian said calmly:

"So far today, we have won a round each other. Can we skip the extra probing?"

"I want to discuss the Dao with my fellow Taoists again to see whether it is 'one' or 'ten thousand'."

"Oh?"

Wu Zhou's voice came slowly, but compared to the previous one, it was obviously more solemn when it came to the dispute of Dao.

"The last time you and I discussed the Dao in the long river of time, it lasted for 100,000 years, and in the end neither of us lost. Now that only 10,000 years have passed in the modern world, you have the confidence that you can beat me?"

"It's not to suppress you." Mu Shitian said calmly, "It's to save you from the sea of ​​suffering."

After a moment of silence, Wu Zhou chuckled and said, "My friend, you sound like you are either absolutely sure of victory or you are ready to perish together with me. How can I agree to this?"

"That's right." Mu Shitian seemed to be quite "honest" and said, "I am sure to win. In the last battle, we neither lost nor won. Isn't that ridiculous? It's obvious that you are just cheating."

Wu Zhou smiled and said, "Playing tricks is also a skill, which proves that what you said is not without flaws. You keep saying that you want to discuss Taoism with me, but where is your true self?"

In the void, I saw lotus flowers blooming and falling without fading, and each pistil contained a piece of pure land and a universe.

Then, a withered and flourishing Bodhi tree took root in the dark sea, scattering boundless pure glass light, illuminating all the pure lands and the deep and dark waters of the dark sea.

In countless pure lands, there is a golden Buddha. Looking up at him at this moment, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth that shows he has comprehended the ultimate truth of the world.

Countless living beings and souls who saw this smile felt as if they had been enlightened, and had an inexplicable feeling as if they had comprehended the true meaning of Zen.

It seems as if the four elements are empty and everything in the world is illusory. Only by seeing through it can one let go and thus transcend the sea of ​​suffering.

Among the supreme beings in all realms who saw Mu Shitian for the first time, below the True Saint, no matter whether it was the Heavenly Venerable or the Taoist Ancestor, they all felt an urge to be inspired, cleanse their worldly hearts, and become monks.

All living beings, whether in the universe or in all realms, when they saw this scene, their minds became peaceful and free of distractions, which soothed the mental shock brought by witnessing the true form of the devil before.

"Fellow Taoist Shi Tian is very capable." Wu Zhou suddenly sighed from the bottom of his heart, "The best decision I have made in the past ten thousand years is to work with the True Saints of all realms at all costs to destroy the foundation of your federation and cut off your path to the federation ten thousand years ago."

This statement came out.

Among the supreme beings in all realms, those who had previously stood on the opposite side of the Federation, some of them had eyes that became more profound.

Ten thousand years ago, He Donghuang attempted to achieve a breakthrough but was blocked by powerful beings from all realms.

Changing the subject, Wu Zhou said calmly:
"Four pseudo-saints, with only fruition status but no matching Dao power, can actually fight Brother Yan to this extent. This shows how high the Dao of these four is."

“To be honest with you, Daoist Fellow Shi Tian, ​​Brother Yan refined three thousand Dao Killing Diagrams this time. He was originally planning to use the blood of at least ten True Saints in this world to cleanse the Dao Diagrams and try to go one step further, and then push this realm towards its end, perform the killing calamity on behalf of others, and achieve Dao transcendence.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere among the powerful people in various realms became obviously wrong. It dropped to freezing point and murderous intent gradually rose.

Wu Zhou, however, never glanced at it from beginning to end, and said with a sigh:

"Fortunately, I acted decisively, otherwise if you were the Six Saints of the Yanhuang Federation, or even the Seven Saints, who else in this realm could stop you?"

"I wonder how Brother Shi Tian is going to discuss this with me?"

Mu Shitian didn't feel any emotional fluctuation at all because of Wu Zhou's provocative words.

Just some psychological tactics.

He raised his hand in front of his chin and exhaled gently. In an instant, a vast and boundless river of brilliant stars appeared.

Mu Shitian sat down and said calmly:
"All the past is dead, all the future is illusory, only the self-nature is indestructible."

"Today, I discuss 'self-nature' with fellow Taoists."

This time, the supreme beings in all realms were the first to change color. They wanted to discuss the Dao of Self-nature with this Heavenly Demon who had transformed into billions? !

Wu Zhou had no doubt that Mu Shitian was qualified, and he just said in silence:
"Just that?"

In fact, Mu Shitian did have it.

In Wu Zhou's opinion, Mu Shitian is like another self, a self who has embarked on a completely different path.

"My fellow Daoist Zhou, do you think it's not enough?"

Mu Shitian smiled and said,

"Then let's add one more thing. Daoist friend, you said before that you had anticipated our Federation's Anti-Ten Thousand Spirits Formation? Then I will bet with you on defending the formation and breaking it."

"Today, no matter what means you use, whether it's throwing tantrums or playing dirty, as long as you can break the formation, it's all your ability."

"As for the bet..."

"My fellow Taoist and I are betting on our true names."

The last two words came out.

Wu Zhou's voice suddenly deepened: "Daoyou, are you trying to force my true self to die?"

What is their real name?
World Honored One.

Buddha.

"My fellow Daoist Zhou is joking. If you don't show up in person, how can you be qualified to discuss Dao with me? Do you want to just admit defeat?" Mu Shitian said calmly.

"Haha... I am the one who made people laugh." Wu Zhou sighed with a low laugh, "What a great Mu Shitian! How can He Donghuang be even half as arrogant as you?"

Between heaven and earth, a figure wearing a cassock and a Xuantian Taoist crown slowly emerged.

Seeing this figure, all the strong men in the world had deep eyes. With the previous experience not long ago, who can say that this is our Zhou’s true body?
"The four demons' methods are treacherous and unpredictable. They really didn't deceive me." Someone exclaimed in admiration, "Let's not talk about anything else about the Yanhuang Federation. Just talking about their courage, the fact that they dared to set up an array to ambush and kill the four demons is far superior to us."

Others either remained silent or looked indifferent.

But there was no more disdain and contempt as before.

Even the true body of the devil is just a part of the game here. The struggle between these two people has exceeded the vision of most people present.

Even Xuan Chongyang and others felt ripples in their hearts for a long time. If they were in the underground place, they would probably not be able to see through Wu Zhou's strengths and weaknesses at all.

"But the stakes are still too small." Wu Zhou smiled and said, "Why don't you add a little more, fellow Taoist?"

Mu Shitian nodded and pointed with one finger. In an instant, at the original position of the four guardian stars, a star hung quietly in the universe.

"If my fellow Daoist Zhou can break the Anti-Ten Thousand Spirits Formation, he will be able to enter it and find out what's going on."

Wu Zhou squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, and found that Mu Shitian actually placed the Four Guardian Stars in front of him.

The most difficult to imitate is Hela's breath.

Hela was suppressed on the Four Guardian Stars for ten thousand years. Her aura permeated the stars and created a special area, providing convenience for the younger generation of the Federation to forge their bodies.

In a sense, this planet can almost be regarded as half of Hela's dojo.

The prerequisite is that Hela can break the seal.

He seized Hela's throne and was very familiar with her aura and divine power, so he could tell the truth from the false.

That's why he became more suspicious.

What is Mu Shitian planning?
Is there another trap waiting for him inside the Four Guardian Stars?
Is it Hela herself who reached an agreement with the Federation, or the suspected remnant of He Donghuang?
If it were just these two points, there's no need to worry and you can give it a try.

Wu Zhou changed his mind, but still hadn't made up his mind.

He was afraid that there might be some unexpected backup plans within the Federation.

In the dispute over the great principles, a slight mistake can lead to a great error.

He can't afford to be careless at all.

At the last moment before entering the game, Wu Zhou suddenly asked:

"What do you want this time, fellow Taoist?"

"Wu Zhou asks me to live, and I ask Wu Zhou to die." Mu Shitian replied.

[Buddha] Wu Zhou laughed again: "The one who knows me is Yanhuang Shi Tian!"

Followed by.

In the eyes of the world, billions of identical... Wu Zhou walked out one after another!
One by one, the Wu Zhous, who were no different from each other, walked into the pure land world where the Bodhi flowers were in bloom, and sat and discussed the doctrine with the golden Buddha in it.

In front of every dark gold Buddha, you can find a Wu Zhou.

In an instant.

Then countless Udumbara flowers withered and died. When the flowers fell, all things were silent. In the withered place, a pitch-black lotus slowly bloomed!
At the same time, more golden lotus flowers bloomed in the void.

Before discussing the Dao, Mu Shitian suddenly asked:
"I heard that you have lost two games to my useless disciple before?"

"As the saying goes, three times the limit, I hope you won't fall for my disciple again."

It also attacks the heart.
