The emperor's family raised me in poverty? But I have an innate ability.

Chapter 326: Born! Identity? All beings are equal!

"What's going on with these two people?"

Xianxian and Juexian looked at the two people in front of them with shock in their expressions and remained silent.

At that time, they watched Cang and Yan perish into nothingness with their own eyes, with absolutely no possibility of survival.

But now, the appearance of Da Cang Qiang and the encounter with Su Changqing.

There is something indelible about that familiar figure on my body.

Reincarnation? Resurrection? Or something else?

Xianxian and Juexian hovered over the two of them, with confusion and hesitation in their eyes.

"Do you think Yan's reincarnation will be Cang's son?"

Xianxian asked with some hesitation.

"impossible!"

Juexian shook his head and said decisively: "At first, the two were as close as brothers, but later they turned against each other and became enemies."

"With Yan's personality, even if he gives up reincarnation, he will not become Cang's heir."

Xianxian nodded, this was also the point that puzzled him.

If these two people are the reincarnations of Cang Yan, then their personalities are completely different.

But if it wasn't for Su Nan's Great Cang Spear and the 'Zhu Xian Sword' forged by Su Changqing, how could it be explained?

Juexian and Xianxian fell into silence for a long time, and they no longer paid attention to the birth of Amitabha Buddha.

at the same time.

Under the overwhelming Buddha's light and endless Buddha's will in the Western Regions, an illusory figure gradually emerged from heaven and earth.

That is a statue that looks like a Buddha.

Peace, tranquility, compassion, and deep eyes seem to embrace everything.

"Amitabha!"

Upon seeing that illusory figure, Kasyapa, the Heavenly Buddha, many Buddhist practitioners of Lingshan, and countless living beings in the Western Regions all knelt down devoutly with their hands clasped together.

The vast Buddhist sound resounded through heaven and earth, and the entire Western Regions seemed to have become a Buddhist country.

Apart from the vast Buddhist teachings, even the laws of heaven were expelled.

"This"

The strong men from the Su and Wu families were all terrified at this time.

Facing that legendary existence, even if it was just a phantom, it was filled with unspeakable terror and oppression.

At this time, even Su Nan and Wu Jiuling, who were standing in front of the crowd, had serious expressions on their faces.

"If a fight really breaks out, take them away first." Su Nan said in a voice transmission.

"You think too highly of me."

Wu Jiuling smiled bitterly and looked around at the world, "This vast Western Region has become a Buddhist country."

"This place is already equivalent to an independent world outside of the Cang Yan Continent. The barriers here are terrifyingly strong."

"With my strength, I'm afraid I can't break through this world."

No one knows how powerful Amitabha is, but this world alone is enough to trap and kill a peak quasi-emperor.

"No problem."

Su Nan glanced at the Great Cang Spear in his hand and said calmly: "I can tear Him apart!"

Wu Jiuling was shocked when he heard this and looked at Su Nan who was standing beside him.

Although both are at the peak of Quasi-Emperor, the other party seems to have reached another realm.

……

"Cang Yan Continent, I'm back again."

Above the sky, a calm and peaceful figure looks towards the world in the distance.

His deep gaze seems to be able to penetrate mountains and seas, transcend time and space, and see the entire world at a glance.

He saw the smallness of the continent, the misery outside the domain, and also saw the endless gods and demons sealed by the way of heaven.

"Master Yan, you keep saying that I'm taking the wrong path."

"But what's the result?"

"It was you who destroyed this world."

There was no joy or sadness in Amitabha's expression.

It’s just that this familiar yet unfamiliar world is filled with an indescribable complexity.

His plan worked.

After planning for eternity and disintegrating countless years, he finally got what he wanted, a world without Cang Yan.

In this era, he can finally realize his ambition, build a Buddhist kingdom, and break through the ancient realm.

But.all the creatures he was familiar with disappeared.

The feeling of emptiness that there was no one he could open his heart to made him silent.

But suddenly, his eyes moved slightly and looked in the direction of Su Changqing.

In other words, it was the two equally illusory spirits behind Su Changqing.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

A rare smile appeared on Amitabha's face as he looked at Juexian and Xianxian.

"It's been a long time indeed."

"I didn't expect that after countless years, you would be resurrected."

Xianxian looked at Amitabha and sighed, "Why bother? With your talent and ability, even if you start over, you will already be at the top."

"Why wait until today, waiting for such a long time?"

Amitabha shook his head and said, "It is not difficult to rebuild, but it is difficult to change my mind. Facts have proved that my path is the right one."

"That's right!"

Juexian said unhappily: "Yan originally wanted to teach you the Dao, but who would have thought that you would just disintegrate and disperse."

"If you hadn't been so stubborn, even if you had just listened to the sermons for a while, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"The Great Way?" Amitabha smiled and said calmly, "My Way is the Great Way!"

He spoke in a quiet voice, not as if he was arguing but rather stating a fact.

"hehe."

Xianxian sneered when he heard this, "Look at that gun, and if you say one more word, yours is the Great Dao!"

As he spoke, Xianxian pointed at the Da Cang Spear in Su Nan's hand.

Amitabha's expression remained normal, and he just glanced at him casually.

But this one look made him feel shocked and he murmured, "Cang"

If we were to ask who in this world has the greatest influence on Amitabha Buddha, it would definitely be Yan.

The other party is his friend and also his preacher.

And Cang, who has the same name as Yan, also has a great influence on him.

Because Cang almost killed him!

After the Buddhist Kingdom's ambitions were exposed, the Great Cang Spear pierced his chest almost immediately.

He still remembers the boundless murderous aura and the ultimate murderous intent clearly even now.

Cang was so ruthless that he killed him the moment he sensed his ambition.

It was Yan who intervened at the critical moment and saved his life, but he was also suppressed for an era because of the affairs of the Buddhist Kingdom.

The reason why he disbanded and dispersed was because he knew that with Cang around, his plan would not succeed.

But he never thought that after thousands of years of severing the Dao, he would see the Great Cang Spear again on the first day of his rebirth!
No one could understand that kind of terrifying and shocking feeling, which made Amitabha Buddha stand there in a daze.

"You have waited for countless years, but you still cannot escape from Cang Yan's grasp."

Xianxian shook his head and said, "Cangyan Continent is Cang's world. He will not allow you to establish a Buddhist country."

"We didn't know about Da Cang's appearance in advance. Is it a cause and effect? ​​Or a warning? You decide for yourself."

Amitabha looked at the Da Cang Spear for a long time, and then his gaze fell on Su Nan.

He looked at it for a long time, and when he heard Xianxian's words, he suddenly smiled, "Warning? Cause and effect?"

"Xianxian, you underestimate me."

"Although my teachings have disintegrated, my 'Buddha' has always existed in the Western Regions."

"After tens of millions of years of accumulation and the thoughts of hundreds of millions of people seeking Buddhahood, do you think I am still the same as I was before?"

As he spoke, he looked at Su Nan and the Great Cang Spear in the other party's hand, and said calmly:
"No one can stop me in this life. Even if Cang were still alive, I wouldn't necessarily be afraid."

Xianxian and Juexian's faces changed instantly when they heard this.

They seemed to underestimate what Amitabha had accumulated over the years.

"If Cang can't convince you, what about him?"

Juexian pointed at Su Changqing and shouted, "Look carefully, who is he!"

Juexian couldn't see through Su Changqing's identity, but he was sure that Amitabha could.

He didn't know who Su Changqing was, but he was definitely related to Yan!
"He" Amitabha looked at Su Changqing.

At first, his brows were slightly frowned, and then his expression gradually changed.

Endless Buddha light emerged in his eyes, and the shadow of the long river of time emerged from his eyes, causing huge waves.

The crowd could not find Xianxian and Juexian, nor could they hear the conversation between Amitabha and them.

I just feel like this world is so oppressive that it makes me feel suffocated.

After a long while, Amitabha's golden eyes finally returned to calm.

"Who is he?"

Xianxian couldn't help but ask, "Is it Yan?"

At this time, Su Changqing looked at Xianxian in surprise.

No outsiders could hear the conversation between Xianxian and others, not even Su Changqing.

But he could see the change in Xianxian's expression.

"What makes Xianxian so nervous?"

Su Changqing looked thoughtful and glanced at where Amitabha Buddha was.

And coincidentally, Amitabha Buddha was also looking over there.

“His identity.”

Amitabha looked at Su Changqing with a strange and compassionate look, and said:

“I can see it, but I can’t tell.”

Juexian frowned, "Why?"

"The cause and effect on him is too great."

Amitabha shook his head and said, "Even Gu can't bear such karma."

"I can only tell you that Yan is him, but he is not Yan. His existence is..."

boom!
Before Amitabha Buddha could finish his words, the entire Buddhist kingdom suddenly began to shake.

The endless regular lines from the outside world and the dense and boundless madness are pouring in.

"cause and effect."

Juexian and Xianxian felt their scalps go numb when they saw this.

Those lines are not rules or laws, but intricate causes and effects!
The encounters and acquaintances between people, as well as the contact and intersections with any things, will produce causes and effects, big and small.

As the growth trajectory of a living being gets longer, the more causes and effects it will have.

But most of these causes and effects are insignificant and will gradually disappear over time.

Only the cause and effect formed with some powerful creatures will last forever and will not be erased by time.

And what about the causal lines emerging in the outside world at this time?

Without exception, all of them carry tremendous cause and effect!
Not only are those creatures terrifyingly powerful, their numbers are even more terrifying.

Once you are entangled by these causes and effects, as Amitabha Buddha said, even the "Ancient" cannot bear it.

"No offense, disperse!"

As Amitabha Buddha recited the sutra, the lines of cause and effect gradually dissipated and the Buddha's kingdom became stable.

Afterwards, his gaze lingered on Su Changqing for a moment, then he looked at Xianxian and Juexian.
"For your sake, I won't embarrass them today. Let's go."

"See you at the final battle."

The Amitabha Buddha today has only just regained a trace of consciousness.

In the next period of time, he needs to make some preparations for the decisive battle.

"It's not up to us to decide."

Xianxian shook his head, "We haven't acknowledged our master yet, so we won't interfere in his affairs."

Amitabha nodded, looked at Su Changqing, and said:

"That's enough for today, please leave."

People from the Su and Wu families all showed joy when they heard this.

They had already planned to fight to the death, but they never thought that the other side would just let them go like this?

But to Buddhists, Amitabha Buddha’s words have no meaning at all.

Even Kasyapa, who had just shown hatred on his face, looked calm, as if as long as the "Buddha" spoke, everything would be right.

"Fortunately, there was no real fight."

Wu Jiuling and Su Nan both breathed a sigh of relief.

No one knows the tremendous pressure one feels when facing Amitabha Buddha.

Even if the opponent is just a wisp of divine thought, it is still very terrifying.

If a fight really breaks out, they can only fight with all their might, as the gap between the two sides is simply too big.

however.

Just as the Su and Wu families were about to retreat, Su Changqing stepped forward, looked at Amitabha and said:

"Senior, I also practiced Buddhism, but the Buddha I practiced was not Amitabha!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the Su and Wu families changed color.

And Buddhist Kasyapa and others shouted in anger instantly.

"presumptuous!"

In the hearts of Buddhists, Amitabha Buddha is the supreme existence.

Dare to say to Amitabha Buddha that what you are cultivating is not the other person's "Buddha".

In the eyes of Buddhists, this is more than just disrespectful!
Instead, they must be cast into the eighteen levels of hell, and made to suffer endless pain for heretics!

"In this world, there is only one Buddha."

Amitabha’s expression remained calm upon hearing this, “That is Amitabha.”

"Why?"

Su Changqing stepped forward and asked, "Buddha said that all living beings are equal, so why can't I be a Buddha?"

"I am now also one of the people. Those who see through the sufferings of the world are Buddhas, and those who do not are living beings."

Anita Buddha recited the true meaning of his own path and said, "As long as the donor's suffering is not eliminated, he cannot become a Buddha."

After saying this, Amitabha turned around and didn't intend to say too much to Su Changqing.

The other party's identity was indeed not bad, but his current realm was still too low, far from being able to discuss the Dharma with him.

However, just as Amitabha turned around, Su Changqing's voice rang out again.

"All beings are called sentient beings because they coexist in the world. I observe the Buddha as I observe sentient beings. All sentient beings are Buddhas, so why can't I obtain it?"

"All dharmas and I are empty. If I say I am a Buddha, then I am a Buddha!"

Su Changqing's words filled the faces of all Buddhists with anger.

But there were still some enlightened monks who looked at Su Changqing with disbelief.

At this time, Amitabha, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly stopped.

He slowly turned around and looked at Su Changqing more seriously.

“Both dharma and self are empty.”

"All things are born because of me and die without me. Because I exist, all things exist. Therefore, all things are equal."

Amitabha murmured to himself, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.

In his entire life of practicing Buddhism, this was the first time he heard another meaning of "equality of all beings".

Amitabha Buddha believes that all sentient beings are equal, and that all sentient beings believe in "Buddha", and thus experience suffering and achieve nirvana and transcendence.

The equality mentioned here means that the sufferings experienced by all sentient beings are the same as those experienced by Buddha. As long as one can see through the suffering, one can become a Buddha.

However, this 'equality' is the definition of 'Buddha' to 'sentient beings'.

This seems equal, but in fact it puts the "Buddha" in a transcendent position, above all other living beings.

This teaching has been in place since the time of the Buddha until today.

Neither the believers nor the Buddha himself have ever doubted this.

But today, another 'doctrine' has emerged.

Su Changqing's simple four words "Dharma and I are both empty" brought the so-called "Buddha" of Amitabha to true equality!
Dharma exists because I see it, touch it, and practice it.

But if 'I' don't exist, then this world is just an illusion.

The equal protagonist here is no longer "Buddha" but "I".

I see Buddha as Buddha, and that is Buddha.

I see all sentient beings as Buddhas, so all sentient beings can become Buddhas.

This is an irrefutable, true equality achieved from the perspective of the 'I' of all living beings!
You say you are a Buddha, but if I don't exist, then where does the "Buddha" come from?

Su Changqing looked at Amitabha who was in deep thought and said:

"Buddha has no form, and form is created by the mind."

"The 'Buddha' you mentioned is a little too narrow."
