Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 362 Wu Tian Appears and Rulai Ambition
"The Tai Chi diagram is my innate treasure. I can't give it to you to control."

Taishang Laojun shook his head:

"Moreover, you will not be able to fully exert its true power. If you cannot break the seal, you will only waste this one and only chance!"

"Ha~"

Tongtian's clone Lingbao Tianzun sneered:

"Then how can you guarantee that you can break the ban? If you can't break it, it doesn't matter to you, but wouldn't we have died in vain? Do you think you are stupid, or do you think we are stupid?"

"you"

Taishang Laojun was angry, but he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and explained:
"I'm not 100% sure I can break it, but even if I fail, I'm sure I can shake the Purple Cloud Palace. When the Purple Cloud Palace shakes, and our original bodies will be suspicious, and won't remain indifferent, as our original bodies will surely be suspicious if we work together to break the seal!"

With this remark,
Lingbao Tianzun looked at Weishan and did not say anything more. The other saints' clones also fell into deep thought.

After a while,
The Yue Lao, the clone of Nuwa, slowly said, "I agree!"

"I agree too!" Immortal Lord Hongyun nodded.

"can!"

Jade Pure Heavenly Venerable and Jie Yin's clone had no objections either.

Taishang Laojun's face suddenly brightened:
"Okay, let's get started now, because this merit of creation belongs to me. It will take some time for you to stimulate it. We have to speed up. If Luo Hou comes and our real bodies haven't appeared yet, it will be difficult to deal with!"

Saying,

Taishang Laojun lightly tapped his fingers, and a hint of mysterious golden light emerged from the Tai Chi diagram.

As soon as the golden light appeared, a mighty aura immediately spread out, and the boundless power shocked everyone.

Pangu’s merits in creating the world!
"point!"

Taishang Laojun gave a light shout, and the merit of creation of the world was divided into two and fell on the two yin and yang fish eyes of the Tai Chi diagram.

“Jieyin, Tongtian, you are in charge of the Yang Eye, Yuanshi, Nuwa, Hongyun, you are in charge of the Yin Eye, use your own magic power and origin to offer sacrifices to the merits of the creation of the world!”

After Taishang Laojun finished speaking, the others didn't say anything and took action directly.

Use yourself to sacrifice the merits of creating the world.

The Taishang Laojun sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, gathering his energy and preparing.

As long as the ritual of creating merit is completed, he can launch the strongest attack.

This time he asked other saints to sacrifice their incarnations. He was not lying and there was no conspiracy.

Because he really wanted his true self to appear, otherwise, he would have no choice but to escape into chaos.

of course,

There is still some lies.

That is, if he sacrificed himself, he could also fully inspire the merit of creating the world.

After all, the strength of his clone is much stronger than that of other saints, and is almost the same as his original body.

But he wouldn't do that.

after all,

This clone of his was separated from the Three Pure Ones by one Qi. If it dies, it will have a great impact on his original body. It is unknown how many epochs it will take to recover.

Therefore,
Only then did he set his sights on the clones of other saints.

Honghuang, the sacred mountain in the west.

Three hundred years have passed since the end of Journey to the West.

Because of the matter of Tang Monk, fearing that he would be exposed, Tathagata went to see Taishang Laojun, and then returned to Lingshan again.

but,

Not long after, Tathagata became worried again because of the impending arrival of the Demon Ancestor Rāhu.

He knew the grudge between Buddha and the devil.

When the demons come, Buddhism will certainly be the first to bear the brunt.

Especially nowadays,
If we were to ask who has the strongest power in the ancient world, it would of course be the Xuanmen, but if we were to ask who has been the most high-profile and prosperous recently, it would have to be the Buddhist sect.

Especially his Lingshan.

Because of the transaction with the Three Sovereigns of the human race, Buddhism spread eastwards to the human race, and more than half of the people in Jambudvīpa became believers of Buddhism.

As the host of Journey to the West, Tathagata's prestige and fame in the ancient world are at their peak and unmatched.

As long as there is a Buddhist temple, there will be a statue of Tathagata Buddha, which has brought him a lot of luck and incense.

Even Randeng was suppressed by him countless times.

originally,

According to the calculations of Taishang Laojun, the reason why Randeng targeted him before was because he founded Theravada Buddhism and divided the Buddhist sect, not because his identity as Duobao was exposed.

This made Tathagata feel relieved.

He originally intended to expand the prestige of Theravada Buddhism and his own reputation again.

Who would have thought that a demon would show up unexpectedly and disrupt his plan, forcing him to recall the Theravada Buddhist practitioners and keep a low profile.

……

"I am the Tathagata-garbha. All sentient beings have Buddha nature. Therefore, sentient beings cannot see it."

"Thus I have heard, the path to Nirvana is to not dwell in emptiness or existence, to not hope for birth and death, and to understand the Dharma nature, and then one can attain Nirvana..."

Inside the Great Leiyin Temple,
While Tathagata was preaching the Dharma, strange phenomena occurred everywhere, flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses emerged from the ground.

suddenly,

A black cloud a million feet high suddenly flew from the sky and instantly arrived above Lingshan Mountain. The huge black shadow enveloped the entire Lingshan Mountain.

This shocked all the young monks on the mountain.

"What happened?"

"What is that black cloud?"

".I feel the evil spirit!"

"Don't be afraid. The Buddha is preaching to the Bodhisattvas and Arhats. Even if an evil demon comes, it will surely die."

“I’m not afraid.”

The young monks were discussing the matter, and in the main hall, Tathagata also stopped preaching.

Many Bodhisattvas and Arhats also discovered the black clouds outside and were all shocked because the aura emitted by the black clouds was too powerful.

The feeling it gave them was no less than that of Tathagata.

at this time,

Tathagata's voice suddenly sounded, with shock in his voice:

"How could it be this? This...it has been exiled by me."

"Buddha?"

The Bodhisattvas, Arhats and others immediately looked at the Buddha in surprise and doubt.

From what the Buddha said, it seems that he is aware of this black cloud, and there seems to be a cause and effect involved.

Guanyin couldn't help but ask:
"Buddha, where does this black cloud come from? Why does it dare to come to my Buddhist holy land?"

Hearing this,

Tathagata's body shook slightly and he came back to his senses.

Looking at the many monks below who were looking at him curiously, Tathagata suppressed the shock in his heart and said slowly:

"Everything is fate, and that black cloud is me!"

"what?"

The monks were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief and confusion.

"To be exact, it's my inner demon!"

Tathagata continued to explain:
“When I was promoted to Quasi-Saint, for some reason, a demonic evil thought was born in my soul. Seeing that it already had self-awareness, I prepared to use Buddhism to refine it.

However, his cultivation was not weaker than mine, so I could do nothing about it. So I had to use great willpower to cut him out and banish him into endless time and space. I thought he was lost, but I didn't expect him to return to the wilderness again! Cause and effect are unpredictable!"

After listening to Tathagata's explanation, the monks suddenly understood.

It turned out to be Tathagata’s inner demon.

They did not feel that Tathagata’s Buddhist practice was insufficient for this.

Although they practice Buddhism, it’s not that they won’t have inner demons, they’re just very small.

and,

It would be fine if the inner demon is not born, but once the inner demon is born, it will far exceed the inner demon of ordinary cultivators and will be extremely powerful.

Extremely difficult to erase.

Generally speaking when encountering this kind of situation, one can either suppress it by force with one's own mentality, or cut it out, or ask a Buddhist practitioner with a higher level of cultivation to help refine it.

only,
The first method is very risky. If you can't suppress it, the inner demon will backfire, which is worse than ordinary evil demons. The second method is rarely chosen because it will lead to another demon in the world.

Generally, they ask more powerful monks to refine it.

of course,

In addition to these three, there is a better way, which is——

Nirvana!

Transform your body into a relic and seal your inner demon inside the relic. With the help of the power of Nirvana, eliminate the inner demon consciousness and reintegrate it into yourself.

Not only can it perfectly resolve the inner demons, but there is even a high chance that your character and cultivation will be taken to a higher level.

Although there is a risk of failure in Nirvana, it is very small.

Generally, those who have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, or have no hope of breaking through, will choose Nirvana to fight for the opportunity to make further progress if they develop inner demons.

The monks could understand why Tathagata did not choose Nirvana at the beginning.

after all,

Tathagata's talent is there and he does not need to rely on Nirvana to improve it.

"Okay, you don't have to worry. Although this inner demon is strong, I have a way to suppress it. You can retreat first!"

"Amitabha!"

Upon hearing this, the monks clasped their hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and then left the main hall.

They did not have the slightest doubt about what Tathagata said.

after all,

As the leader of Theravada Buddhism, Tathagata is no longer the same as before.

With endless Buddhist luck and merits to protect him, suppressing the inner demons is effortless.

"Amitabha! Now that you are here, come down!"

Just after the monks left the hall, Tathagata's voice suddenly rang out.

The Buddha’s sound is so loud that it shakes the sky.

The black clouds above the sacred mountain were trembling slightly due to the vibration.

The next moment, a sinister and eerie smile came from the dark cloud:
"Jiejie Rulai, I, Wu Tian, ​​said at the beginning that I would come back. Now, I want to take back everything that belongs to me, jiejiejie"

"Shh!"

With an evil smile, the black cloud suddenly disappeared.

But in the main hall, a black lotus slowly emerged from the void, and with a flash of black light, it transformed into a young man in black clothes with black hair.

His appearance is 70% similar to Tathagata!
It was the inner demon that Tathagata had banished in the past.

Wutian!

"Tathagata, you have sat on the throne of Buddha for long enough. Now, give it up. In return, I can leave you a glimmer of sanity. Otherwise, you will be forever sunk into darkness!"

Looking at Wu Tian, ​​whose eyes were full of evil and murderous intent, Tathagata shook his head expressionlessly:

"You still don't learn your lesson! When I exiled you, you should have cherished the opportunity, hid yourself away, and never showed up again. That way, you might have saved your life. Now that you're back, then come back for real!"

"Hahaha"

Just as Tathagata was about to take action, Wu Tian suddenly laughed wildly:
"Tathagata, Tathagata, you are too proud too early! I admit that I am indeed no match for you now, but why do you think I would come back to die knowing that I am no match for you? Have you never thought about it?"

however,
Listening to Wujitiao's words, Tathagata showed no fear at all, but instead showed disdain.

"You rely on him, right?"

Before he finished speaking, Tathagata flipped his palm.

Suddenly, a giant palm appeared, with the five elements flowing on it, emitting a terrifying aura of suppression, and the void in the hall began to distort.

Then press towards the empty space next to it:
"You hiding rat, come out to me!"

"Boom~"

The entire main hall shook.

next moment,
A black shadow emitting powerful demonic energy was slapped out from the void by the giant palm.

"Pfft~"

Blood spurted out, and the black shadow staggered back dozens of steps, finally sitting down on the ground with a pale face.

"what?"

Wu Tian's face suddenly changed.

"you you."

He stammered in shock, not knowing what to say, the fear in his heart surging like a raging wave.

That was Desire-Self, one of the four great demon kings under the lord of demons, Rāhu.

Late stage of quasi-saint!
He was actually seriously injured by a palm strike from Tathagata. His strength is too terrifying.

but,

Tathagata's realm is clearly still in the middle stage of quasi-saint.

At this time,

Seriously injured by Tathagata's palm, Yu Se Tian stood up while enduring the severe pain in his body. He looked at Tathagata with fear on his face and spoke word by word:

"The Five Elements Law Small Thousand World!"

at this time,

The shock in Yusetian's heart was no less than that in Wutan.

He had not expected that a mid-stage quasi-saint whose cultivation was not as good as his could actually condense a small world in which the five elements flowed perfectly.

This is too shocking.

"The Five Elements Law?"

After hearing what Yushetian said, Wutian seemed to come back to his senses and looked at Tathagata in disbelief:

"You have already comprehended the Buddha's teachings, and now you are practicing the Five Elements Law? Don't you know the consequences of doing this?"

Hearing this,

Tathagata's face was as calm as water, without the slightest hint of strangeness.

If your cultivation is not enough, and you practice multiple laws at the same time, you cannot break through!
How could he not know.

After all, he is the eldest disciple of the saint. How could his master Tongtian not tell him about these taboos in cultivation?

The reason why he knowingly committed the crime was because he had his own plans and ambitions.

Buddha was not his original intention.

He will not sit on the throne of Buddha forever.

He will eventually give up Tathagata's skin and the Buddha's laws.

Therefore,
Now that he is practicing the Five Elements Principle, he has no worries at all, and it can also temporarily increase his combat power.

When his master Tongtian takes him back, it will be the day when his five elements law will be fully developed.

By then, he will break through the holy realm and possess the power of a saint. He wants to be one of the top people in the prehistoric world.

but,

Tathagata will not tell anyone these except himself.

Ignoring Wu Tian's look of disdain and suspicion, Tathagata slowly spoke:

"This is my territory, a holy place of Buddhism. If you evildoers dare to come here, then stay!"

After finishing speaking,
Tathagata suddenly put his hands together, and a "卐" character appeared.

but,

There is not the slightest bit of Buddha's power on it, but instead it exudes an extremely strong power of the five elements.

"The Five Elements World!"

Tathagata shouted loudly, and the "卐" character suddenly burst into dazzling colorful light.

Simultaneously,

A terrifying world force spread out, enveloping the entire Great Hall, and the power of the five elements flowed endlessly in the air.

"Now, let me dispel your evil roots, and follow me in eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures!"

"not good!"

Yusetian's expression changed, but he did not flee immediately. Instead, he shouted in a deep voice, "If you don't come out, I will withdraw!"

"Ok?"

Tathagata's pupils suddenly shrank, and before he could react, three figures emitting strong demonic energy emerged from the void.
