All Heavens: Start with the Heaven-Covering Sacrifice

Chapter 134 Meng Qi: "It seems that you have learned the true teachings of Buddhism!"

Thinking of this, the ancient Buddha Dipankara also agreed with the words of the incarnation of Amitabha Buddha.

Forgetting my previous groundless speculations about this supreme Buddha, I silently chanted Amitabha in my heart.

The ancient Buddha Dipankara did not take the surprised looks of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the infinite world to heart at all. For a seeker of truth like me, what does a mere saving of face matter!
"Namo Amitabha! Thank you Buddha for your help." Dipankara Buddha chanted the name of Amitabha Buddha and paid homage to the Lord of the Western Paradise.

Then he retracted his own glazed Buddha light, stood up and fled to the Yuxu Palace at an infinite height.

"Namo Amituo Buddha!"

When all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas saw this scene, they all chanted the true name of Amitabha Buddha, paid homage to Amitabha Buddha, and praised his compassion and wisdom.

In the Western Paradise, Amitabha Buddha continues to preach the Dharma, and the light of Bodhi wisdom illuminates all the heavens and worlds, guiding sentient beings to become Buddhas and transcend the sea of ​​suffering.

In the void, golden lotuses of merit are in full bloom, and the Bodhi tree of wisdom appears behind the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, bestowing infinite wisdom on their golden bodies.

The ancient Buddha Dipankara escaped from the Western Paradise and headed towards the Yuxu Palace. As soon as he left the Paradise, he was sensed by Meng Qi in the Yuxu Palace.

"Ran Deng Ancient Buddha? How dare he leave the Western Paradise? Does he really think he can do whatever he wants with Amitabha Buddha around?"

Meng Qi moved his fingers slightly, and was about to wipe out the Ancient Buddha of Dipankara. But when he was about to make a move, his fingers paused. His eyes lit up, and he saw through the cause and effect and realized the Ancient Buddha of Dipankara's intention, so he did not rush to make a move.

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng actually wanted to return to Yuxu Palace! It seemed that he had told Amitabha Buddha about it.

This is where things get a little interesting.

During the Conferred God Ceremony, the ancient Buddha Rāhula left Yuxu Palace and entered Buddhism. Now he actually wants to come back. What is his purpose?
He had seen the first generation Yuanshi Tianzun and was chosen by him to inherit Yuanshi Tianzun's cause and effect. However, the real inheritance of Yuanshi Tianzun's Tao fruit was left by the second generation Yuanshi Tianzun. Regarding the cause and effect entanglement between the ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp and the Yuxu Palace, and him, Meng Qi began to plot in his mind.

If Randeng is accepted, it is unknown what attitude the disciples of Yuxu Palace will have.

Meng Qi looked at countless futures, various possibilities emerged in his eyes, and he made plans in his mind.

"You never know what's going on! I never thought that after countless disasters have passed since I was conferred the title of God, I would need to return to Yuxu Palace again."

The ancient Buddha Rāhula has arrived at the Yuxu Palace. Looking at this Xuanhuang Palace that exudes an ancient atmosphere and is older than the long river of time, streams of merit and virtue are falling from the void, like an almighty dragon circling and dancing above the nine heavens.

Even the 365 nails on the gate are like the Buzhou Mountain from the ancient times, emitting a fascinating aura.

This is the other-shore dojo of Yuanshi Tianzun, the natural strong man from the other shore, who is the cause of all results and the beginning of everything.

This was not the first time that the ancient Buddha Dipankara had come here. He felt that things had changed and people had changed. Looking at the increasingly profound Yuxu Palace, he walked forward and was about to knock on the door.

Before he could walk or move, the vermilion door slowly opened. Looking through the crack, there was nothing behind the door. When the door was fully opened, everything inside emerged completely.

It’s like all the heavens and worlds are manifested in it.

When the ancient Buddha Dipankara looked over, all the heavens and worlds had disappeared again, leaving only the empty hall.

"It's you! Ran Deng..." An angry voice came from the door.

The ancient Buddha Ran Deng looked and found that it was Guangchengzi among the Twelve Golden Immortals. Countless years had passed, and he had become a person with great supernatural powers.

If he had not thought of the order from the head master, he would have taken out his magic weapon and slashed at the hideous figure.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Daoist fellow Guangchengzi looks even more elegant than before!" said the ancient Buddha Rāhula with a smile on his face.

It was as if the events in the Conferred Gods had never happened at all, and Guangchengzi became furious at his calm and composed appearance.

"Hmph!" Guangchengzi snorted coldly, and without saying anything more to him, he walked forward directly. The ancient Buddha Ran Deng followed behind him, passing through the many attics and arriving at the Yuxu Hall. The auspicious air was steaming in the Yuxu Hall, and the auspicious air of saintly virtue turned into auspicious beasts walking in it. The ancient Buddha Ran Deng followed Guangchengzi into the hall, and what he saw was a hazy figure sitting on a cloud bed, invisible to the eyes, only a round of bright light like the moon in the sky hanging behind the figure's head, one of the Dao trees appeared, with two Dao fruits hanging on it, as well as a purple long sword and the three treasures jade Ruyi emitting three-color precious light.

It was none other than Meng Qi, the Yuanshi Tianzun of the contemporary world.

Below him, Guangchengzi and the other twelve golden immortals were sitting cross-legged.

"Randang pays homage to the Heavenly Venerable!" The ancient Buddha Randang bowed and paid homage.

"There is no need to be so polite to the ancient Buddha Dipankara. I wonder why the ancient Buddha came to my Yuxu Palace?" A vague and distant divine voice came from the cloud bed.

The ancient Buddha, Ran Deng, did not waste any time. Facing the eager gazes of the Twelve Golden Immortals, he looked at Meng Qi who was shrouded in the light of Tao.

"The cause of the Heavenly Venerable's achievement of all fruits is shaken, so I came here specially, wanting to offer the causes of all fruits that I have condensed to the Heavenly Venerable in order to resolve the cause and effect!" The ancient Buddha Ran Deng said in an impassioned tone.

This is what he thought of on the way here. Although Amitabha Buddha had pointed out a path for him, he did not mind him leaving Buddhism and running away to Yuxu Palace.

But why would Meng Qi, Yuanshi Tianzun in Yuxu Palace, accept him?

After thinking it over, he felt that he still had to give the illusory "Fruit of Cause and Effect" that he had condensed to Meng Qi, so as to resolve the cause and effect.

Since they had offered the Dao Fruit to Yuanshi Tianzun, he couldn't just stand by and watch him die! Based on his understanding of Yuanshi Tianzun, that was absolutely impossible!
Hey!
The words of the ancient Buddha Ran Deng made the Twelve Golden Immortals look at them sideways, some were surprised, some were disdainful, and some sneered.

"So what does the ancient Buddha want to gain?"

Shrouded in the chaotic and infinite primordial light, Meng Qi looked at the ancient Buddha Ran Deng and asked a question.

"During the Conferred God Celebration, I left Yuxu Palace in order to seek the Great Dao, which made me unable to sleep every day. I don't ask for anything else, I just ask the Heavenly Venerable to allow me to return to Yuxu Palace and become a Taoist child. That's enough."

His words established a persona of himself as a seeker of truth. Going to Buddhism was to seek truth, not to turn to another sect. Today, he had almost achieved what he wanted, so he returned!

Hearing what the ancient Buddha Dipankara said, the Twelve Golden Immortals immediately refuted him. "You want to come back? Dream on."

But Meng Qi didn't say anything, so they didn't know what to say.

Meng Qi could naturally understand what the Buddha Dipankara meant, and found that he was indeed interesting.

Because in countless futures, he has always touched people's hearts with this sentence, and there will be no change in any future.

Of course what he said sounded nice, but the result still depended on Meng Qi.

Meng Qi also agreed with the fact that the ancient Buddha Ran Deng felt that he had returned from studying. When it comes to being thick-skinned, you have really learned the essence of it!

"There is no need for the Illusory Dao Fruit. My causes for all fruits have already been perfected and flawless. As for your joining the Yuxu Palace, I have agreed to it."

After Meng Qi finished speaking, the faces of the Twelve Golden Immortals became serious. They didn't understand why Meng Qi made this decision.

"Thank you Tianzun!"

After hearing Meng Qi's words, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng felt at ease, although he was a little curious about how Meng Qi would complete the causes of all the results.

The origin of time changed slightly the moment Meng Qi agreed. After the Conferred God Ceremony, the experience of the ancient Buddha Dipankara changed, and the memories of all living beings also changed silently.

The Taoist Master Ran Deng became the Taoist Master who holds the lamp in Yuxu Palace.

Meng Qi also explained the reason to Guangchengzi and the others and resolved their doubts.
