Chapter 473 Disciples of the Chan Sect vs. Disciples of the Tathagata
Whether it's the blue ox in the Tushita Palace or the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in Xiniu Hezhou, both are figures whose fame has spread throughout the immortal realm.
This Prince Niu Yuan has already mastered some of their true teachings and can now roam freely in the Four Continents. He is currently at the Xuanxian level, which may not be particularly powerful yet, but one day he will be able to break through to the Taiyi Xuanxian level.
If they were to receive further good fortune and break through to the Golden Immortal realm, they would become a renowned figure in the immortal world.
It is truly remarkable that he has grown from a mere calf on guard duty to a powerful demon capable of fighting alongside the Western Dragon Horse Buddha.
Longma Buddha said, "Not bad, not bad. With your current strength, you can easily last 20 moves against me. How about this, I'll give you a Bodhisattva-level fist technique?"
Having just fought with Prince Niu Yuan, Longma Buddha has a basic understanding of his strength and resources. He also knows that Niu Yuan is greedy and wants to bestow upon him a Bodhisattva Fist manual.
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators and great demons of Dongsheng Divine Continent around them took a deep breath.
The Bodhisattva Fist Technique is considered a high-level fist technique within Buddhism. Normally, if you want to buy it at the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall, you can't get it for less than ten thousand immortal crystals.
And what does tens of thousands of immortal crystals mean? I don't need to say more. Apart from a small number of extremely wealthy Golden Immortals or Taiyi Golden Immortals, who can afford it?
Even Prince Niu Yuan certainly couldn't afford it. Although Prince Niu Yuan was known as the number one demon among the younger generation in Dongsheng Shenzhou, being powerful didn't mean he was rich; he was still poor.
Normally, he wouldn't be able to afford a Bodhisattva-level martial arts manual from Buddhism, but today he received one for free from the hands of the Buddhist disciple Longma. What a stroke of luck!
But Prince Niu Yuan licked his lips with his ox tongue.
Bodhisattva-level fist techniques? Not enough.
He was after the Buddha-level fist technique of the Great Thunderclap Temple. If one could fight Longma Buddha for 50 moves without being defeated, one could obtain a Buddha-level fist technique. Prince Niuyuan was also after this.
Do you think you can defeat yourself with a mere Bodhisattva-level martial art? Impossible.
Prince Niu Yuan shook his head, flipped his hand, and a steel spear appeared in his hand. He then wielded the steel spear, and the iron spear stirred the void.
“Buddha’s disciple, Bodhisattva-level fist techniques are not enough. I, Niu Yuan, have come here today for the Buddha-level fist techniques of your Great Thunderclap Temple. Come on.”
Longma Buddha shook his head, not expecting Niu Yuan to be so greedy. He said, "Amitabha, you are no match for me. Being too greedy is not good."
"Whether he's a match or not, we'll only know after we fight." Niu Yuan stepped forward with his hooves, and his steel spear shot out, charging towards Longma Fuzi.
The Dragon Horse Buddha still faced the opponent with his bare hands, but his body was covered with a layer of Buddhist light.
Prince Niu Yuan thrust out three spears with overwhelming momentum, while Buddha Longma retreated while parrying each move, his body radiating a bright Buddhist light.
"Excellent marksmanship. Did you figure this out yourself, or is it the marksmanship of that person from the Tushita Palace?"
Prince Niu Yuan didn't pretend to be arrogant and said, "Naturally, it is the spear technique of the One-Horned King, but it also contains my own insights and understanding."
When he was on guard duty at Jindu Mountain, he not only secretly learned how to box from the King of Dujiao'ao, but also watched the King practice his spear. The King's spear skills were also exceptionally good, and he even gave him a few pointers.
Prince Niu Yuan's greatest skill is not his fist technique, but his spear technique. He is confident that no matter how powerful this disciple of Buddha is, he can withstand 50 moves. Without some special skill, how dare he come to the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall?
Now that he's here, he has to take this Buddha-level fist technique.
Longma Buddha was genuinely surprised by Niu Yuan's strength at first. However, after exchanging 20 moves, Buddha had already figured out his style.
After 30 moves, Longma Buddha lost interest and began to counterattack.
As the steel spear flashed with a cold light, Longma Buddha swayed and dodged the spear. Then, he reached out with one hand, his palm covered in golden Buddhist light, and grabbed the spear shaft.
"Boromitra Hand!"
The Dragon Horse Buddha was radiating golden light, and he snatched the steel spear from Prince Niu Yuan's hand in one fell swoop.
Prince Niu Yuan felt a tremendous force jolting his hands, causing his tiger's mouth to go numb and his hands to be forced to release their grip. The spear in his hand had already been grabbed by the Buddha of Dragon Horse.
He lost his weapon, and Longma Fuzi threw a punch in return.
"Thunderous Sound Demon-Subduing Fist!"
A thunderous sound followed the fist's movement, and Prince Niu Yuan was blasted away, forced out of the battle void.
He lost.
Ultimately, he couldn't withstand 40 moves from Longma Fuzi and was defeated in 34 moves.
Prince Niu Yuan felt as if he had been punched in the chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The Thunder Sound Subduing Demon Fist is a Buddhist Bodhisattva-level fist technique, and it is indeed very powerful.
Longma Buddha returned the steel-tipped spear to Prince Niuyuan and said, "You are very capable. It is not easy to have reached this level through self-study."
"I'll give you two choices. First, I'll give you a Bodhisattva-level fist technique, the Thunder Sound Subduing Demon Fist that I just used to defeat you."
Alternatively, you can choose to join my Great Thunderclap Temple and become my Buddhist disciple in the future. I can make an exception and teach you a Buddhist-level martial art.
"When I attain Buddhahood in the future, I can guide you to become my Dharma protector and enjoy the Bodhisattva status in the Western Paradise. What do you say?"
Prince Niu Yuan's steel-pointing spear technique had indeed amazed Longma Buddha. Although he defeated Prince Niu Yuan, he had indeed developed a desire to acquire the talent, so he gave him two choices at this moment.
You can either leave with a Bodhisattva-level martial arts technique, or join the West, where you can directly learn Buddha-level martial arts techniques and have the opportunity to become a Bodhisattva in the West in the future.
Everyone looked at Prince Niu Yuan, including many powerful demons of the demon race, their eyes filled with envy.
Although Buddhists have always had a bad reputation outside, for example, they are unscrupulous businessmen, forcibly converting wandering immortals, and extremely protective of their own, such as punishing the younger generation and then bringing in the elders.
But no one can deny that the strength of the Western Buddhist sect is indeed immense.
Many people in the celestial realm simply dislike the Buddhist sect's practices, but if they had the opportunity to join them and become core members of the Western Paradise, countless people would fight tooth and nail to join.
After all, everyone hates others protecting their own, but who doesn't like having a strong person protect their own?
People hate unscrupulous merchants, but if the merchant is running their own business, then they don't hate them.
The conditions offered by the Buddhist disciple Longma to Prince Niuyuan were undeniably attractive. He immediately bestowed upon him a set of Buddha-level martial arts techniques, and promised that as long as the disciple attained Buddhahood, he would become a Dharma protector, enjoying the same treatment as a Bodhisattva from Mount Ling.
That's a Bodhisattva!
Moreover, before joining Mount Ling, Prince Niu Yuan was called a demon when he traveled in the immortal realm, but after joining Mount Ling, who would dare to call him a demon? When they met him, they would all call him Bodhisattva or Venerable, otherwise it would be a great disrespect to Mount Ling.
This also represents a leap in status.
In the current Immortal Realm, the status of the demon race is still too low. This is a chance to defy fate and change one's destiny.
At this moment, Longma Buddha looked at Prince Niuyuan, and many other immortals who were watching were also looking at him.
Anyone with a sound mind would probably agree.
Prince Niu Yuan's eyes were filled with complex emotions; he was struggling.
On the one hand, the Buddha-level martial arts were simply too attractive to him.
He had just experienced the Thunder Sound Subduing Demon Fist, a Bodhisattva-level fist technique used by the Dragon Horse Buddha, and it already possessed such terrifying power. Not to mention the even greater power of the Buddha-level fist technique, which is of an even higher level.
Given his resources, he couldn't even afford to buy a Bodhisattva-level fist technique normally, let alone a Buddha-level martial art that wasn't normally sold to the public.
Furthermore, he will be able to advance to the Bodhisattva level in the future by following the Dragon Horse Buddha.
If you miss this opportunity, you may never have another chance.
However, Prince Niu Yuan hesitated because he had once talked with his mentor, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, who warned him to be careful of Buddhism when traveling in the immortal realm, as Buddhism was despicable and he should keep his distance from them.
Back when we were at Jindu Mountain, the Great King of Dujiao'ao also said that Buddhists are not to be trusted and should be avoided if possible, as joining them is like asking a tiger for its skin.
Finally, Prince Niu Yuan took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Buddha's disciple, I choose the Bodhisattva-level fist technique. I have no affinity with the Western Paradise and prefer to be a rogue demon cultivator."
Longma Buddha was clearly taken aback. He hadn't expected that even with such generous terms, Prince Niuyuan would still refuse.
However, he recovered after a moment, nodded and said, "Amitabha, everyone has their own ambitions. Since you have made up your mind, I will not force you."
With a wave of his hand, Longma Buddha sent a Buddhist manual flying out of his hand and into the hands of Prince Niuyuan.
"This is the Thunder Sound Demon Subduing Fist. Keep it safe."
Prince Niu Yuan nodded: "Thank you."
Then he turned and left, departing from this battle void.
Prince Niu Yuan was defeated. This number one young demon in Dongsheng Shenzhou could only withstand 34 moves from Longma Buddha, and could not even last 40 moves. In the end, he left with a Bodhisattva-level fist technique.
Longma Buddha clasped his hands together, appearing humble and modest. He looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there any other fellow Daoist who can fight this humble monk?"
This statement, though understated, is brimming with arrogance.
However, no one disagreed; this disciple of Buddha, the son of the Western Buddha, was indeed incredibly powerful.
For a moment, no one dared to go on stage.
However, at that moment, a figure stepped out of the air.
“Buddha’s disciple of the Western Paradise, I’ll have a go at you and see just how powerful you really are.”
If Lu Yuan were here, he would definitely recognize this person. This person is Lu Huo, the core disciple of the Chan Sect and the senior brother of the Lotus Prince, with whom he fought in the Azure Heaven World.
Lu Huo held a high position among the younger generation of the Chan Sect, especially after experiencing what happened to Lu Yuan. He was spurred to action by his shame and returned to the Immortal Realm, where he spent tens of thousands of years in seclusion cultivating within the Chan Sect.
His cultivation level is now much higher. He was already a Xuanxian back then, and now he is almost at the Taiyi Xuanxian level.
As soon as Lu Huo made his move, Longma Fuzi recognized him.
After all, the most famous disciples among the three religions had all met each other, and even if they weren't close, they knew each other.
Lu Huo is quite famous in the Chan Sect and has been highly valued by the Chan Sect's higher-ups in recent years, which is why Longma Buddha knows him.
"So it's Senior Brother Lu Huo."
Lu Huo is older than Longma Fozi, so it's perfectly normal for Longma Fozi to call him "senior brother".
Lu Huo looked at Longma Buddha. Thousands of years ago, the two had met once. At the Jade Emperor's grand gathering, the Buddha Tathagata came with Bodhisattvas, Vajras, and Arhats from the Western Paradise to offer his congratulations.
At that time, the Dragon Horse Buddha was still young and his cultivation level was low, only a Celestial Immortal. He followed the Buddha, and no one paid attention to him, treating him only as a Buddhist boy by the Buddha's side.
To everyone's surprise, he turned out to be the last disciple of Buddha, and now he has become a Buddhist disciple in the West, the successor of the next Buddha.
The current Dragon Horse Buddha has already risen to fame in the past few thousand years, his name is known throughout the Three Realms, and even his own Chan Sect has been alarmed.
Moreover, Longma Buddha made a bold statement that anyone who could withstand 50 of his moves at the same level would directly obtain the Buddha-level fist technique of the Buddhist sect. How tempting!
Even the disciples of the Chan Sect were tempted by the Buddha-level fist technique, as it was a rare opportunity to glimpse the mysteries of Buddhist Buddha-level martial arts. Lu Huo was drawn to it. Having just witnessed the battle between Prince Niu Yuan and Buddha Longma, he still held Prince Niu Yuan in contempt.
After all, his background is what it is. He comes from the Chan Sect, which considers itself the most orthodox sect in the immortal realm. People in the Chan Sect are very particular about status and origin.
No matter how strong Prince Niu Yuan is, he is just a bull demon who has cultivated into a spirit, and he is a rogue cultivator at that. What he has learned and practiced is not even worth mentioning.
Although he has some ability, Lu Huo doesn't think much of him.
As for the Dragon Horse Buddha, having just witnessed the battle between the Dragon Horse Buddha and Prince Niu Yuan, he had already made some inferences about the Dragon Horse Buddha's strength. Now that he had stepped forward, he was confident that he could defeat him.
Lu Huo said, "Junior brother, I heard that you used a Buddha-level martial art just to seek defeat. Your senior brother will give you some pointers. You don't mind, do you?"
Although the Chan Sect and the West don't have much of a relationship, their ancestors cooperated during the Investiture of the Gods. Although their relationship has deteriorated over the years, it's still perfectly acceptable for them to address each other as fellow Daoists.
Moreover, both sides gave each other face on the surface.
Knowing Lu Huo's background and strength, Longma Buddha smiled and said, "Then please enlighten me, Senior Brother Lu Huo."
Lu Huo sneered.
Today, let's experience the skills of the Buddha's disciples and see whether the supernatural powers of his Chan sect are more powerful, or whether Buddhist martial arts are superior.
Lu Huo made his move, immediately unleashing a burst of Samadhi True Fire.
Raging flames burned the void, scorching the heavens and boiling the seas.
The cultivators below were startled by what they saw.
"Holy crap, that's ruthless, starting with Samadhi True Fire right off the bat?"
"They were calling each other 'senior brother' and 'junior brother' just now, I thought they had a good relationship, but I didn't expect them to use such ruthless moves."
"You don't really think that the Buddhist sect and the Chan sect have a good relationship, do you? Their relationship was okay during the Investiture of the Gods, but it broke down long ago. Moreover, both sides are top sects in the immortal realm, and they have been fighting each other internally for many years."
You think this is just a friendly spar, a point that will be covered up, but to others, it's a battle between disciples of different sects, and whoever loses today will lose face.
"These disciples of the Chan Sect are truly formidable. Their Samadhi True Fire is terrifying; if it were me, I would surely have been burned to death."
"Heavens! The Dragon Horse Buddha didn't dodge, but instead used his physical body to withstand it."
……
Longma Buddha was not afraid of Lu Huo's Samadhi True Fire. He had followed the Buddha Tathagata since childhood to cultivate, using the most advanced physical techniques of Buddhism to hone his body, and he had also cultivated the strongest protective technique of Buddhism.
Although the Samadhi True Fire of the Chan Sect was powerful, it could not harm him in the slightest.
After Longma Buddhist chanted a Buddhist mantra, a layer of brilliant Buddhist light suddenly appeared on his body. The light condensed into a huge golden bell, which enveloped him. All the flames burned the bell, but they couldn't harm him in the slightest.
The Dragon Horse Buddha was inside the golden bell, looking at the flames of the Chan Sect outside the Buddha's light shield, and said: "What powerful Samadhi True Fire! This legendary True Fire of the Three Teachings is truly extraordinary."
Lu Huo smiled and looked at the Dragon Horse Buddha within the protection of the Golden Bell.
"As expected of a disciple of the Buddha, he has cultivated the Buddha's light to such an extent. Amazing!"
After speaking, the Samadhi True Fire in Lu Huo's mouth activated its source, becoming even more intense.
At the edge of the void, many of the lower-level immortals watching the battle couldn't stand the high temperature and took several steps back.
Many people were muttering to themselves.
These two guys were full of praise for each other, but they showed no mercy when they attacked. Is this what a clash between top sects looks like?
At this moment, Lu Yuan and the others had arrived at the Wan Jin Buddhist Hall. Lu Yuan looked at Lu Huo from afar, and Xiao Huang also saw him.
Xiao Huang said, "Teacher, this person's cultivation is stronger than before."
Lu Yuan: "When he descended to the Azure Heaven World, he was only at the Profound Immortal realm, and his strength was suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Dao. In the Azure Heaven World, he had only one-tenth of his original strength."
Now that I am in the Immortal Realm, without the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, and my strength has increased to the peak of the Profound Immortal realm, a half-step Taiyi Profound Immortal, I am naturally different.
Moreover, the resources within the Chan Sect are not given away for free; never underestimate a disciple of any major sect.
Although Lu Huo had lost to Lu Yuan before, Lu Yuan did not underestimate him; Lu Huo had indeed become much stronger.
However, that Dragon Horse Buddha was even more powerful.
After the deer fire intensified the Samadhi True Fire, the Dragon Horse Buddha also moved. With a wave of his hands, a thousand feet of Buddha light was released from behind him, and he transformed into a true Buddha.
The true Buddha made a move, striking down with his palm, and a swastika appeared in his hand.
The swastika transformed into golden light and true fire, colliding with the Samadhi True Fire of the Deer Fire, and was in no way weaker than the Samadhi True Fire of the Chan Sect.
"What kind of flame is that? How can it collide with the Samadhi True Fire of the Chan Sect?"
“The power of vows, the power of incense offerings in Buddhism. I have heard that there is a very special practice in Buddhism called the practice of incense offerings and vows. Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have sculpted clay bodies in the mortal world to absorb the power of vows.”
When the power of one's vows reaches a certain level, its strength becomes immense. Those who cultivate the power of their vows within Buddhism are extremely powerful beings. This Buddhist disciple fused the power of incense offerings with a certain Buddhist flame, creating a force of immense power capable of blocking the Samadhi True Fire.
The Samadhi Fire and the Buddhist Vow Fire scorched each other, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Both are top-tier sects, and since this battle of supernatural powers cannot determine a winner, the only way to determine the victor is through physical combat.
Longma Buddha began to practice martial arts by stepping on the void, and the Thunder Sound Subduing Demon Fist that had just defeated Prince Niuyuan with a single punch reappeared in his hand.
Lu Huo was not to be outdone, and unleashed the True Martial Arts of the Chan Sect.
The two began to fight in the void, shaking the heavens and earth.
However, Longma Buddha's physical body was simply too strong. Although Lu Huo was the core of the Chan Sect, in terms of physical cultivation, he was definitely far inferior to the disciples of the Buddha.
So after 30 moves, Lu Huo took out his weapon, retreated, and used archery to fight back.
The arrow, guided by the laws of archery, shot out, piercing the sky and splitting the earth, creating immense power that astonished everyone.
"What kind of archery is this? It can pierce through the void!"
"Such speed! Is this some kind of divine weapon?"
"People from the Chan Sect bring divine weapons to spar? They have no martial ethics."
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not a divine weapon, it's a law. I've long heard that some of the younger generation in the Chan Sect have comprehended the laws. It seems that it's true. This Deer Fire should have comprehended the Law of Arrows."
Everyone was shocked.
Even facing the Law of Arrows, Longma Buddha had to take it seriously. He took out his weapon, a long staff.
With a sweep of his long staff, he deflected the arrow and said, "What powerful arrow techniques you possess! Senior Brother Lu Huo is indeed highly skilled."
Lu Huo: "Be careful. I'm here today, and I'm determined to take this Buddha-level fist technique. Be careful you don't last more than 50 moves."
Lu Huo had long been annoyed by this Dragon Horse Buddha, who was making a big show of himself outside, challenging all the younger generation, making it seem like no one could withstand 50 of his moves. There was even a rumor circulating that the Dragon Horse Buddha was the current top young immortal in the immortal realm.
Those disciples of the three religions and people from the Heavenly Court who could withstand 40 moves from him were all top geniuses.
You like to show off, huh? Don't let yourself get through 50 moves.
Lu Huo's arrows flew faster and faster, and in the distance, Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.
After ten thousand years, Lu Huo's cultivation of the Law of Arrows has become increasingly profound, far surpassing his understanding when he fought me back then. He's probably not far from achieving minor mastery of the Law now.
If that's all the Dragon Horse Buddha is capable of, then it seems we're destined to take Lu Huo's Buddha-level fist technique today.
However, it's probably not that simple.
Looking at the Dragon Horse Buddha, Lu Yuan felt that this disciple of Tathagata was holding back, and even when fighting Lu Huo, he didn't seem to be using his full strength.
This disciple of Buddha is indeed quite something; he must have many hidden strengths.
Moreover, Lu Yuan observed that Lu Yuan noticed a faint force of law intertwining within the movements of Lu Yuan's staff.
Disciple of the Tathagata, last disciple, reincarnation of the Buddha, born a Great Luo Immortal.
They should at least grasp one of the rules; it won't be that easy for Lu Huo to win.
Sure enough, the next second, the Dragon Horse Buddha made his move.
With a single slash of his staff, a dazzling law burst forth, seemingly capable of splitting the heavens and earth. With just one sweep, he extinguished all the arrows imbued with the law of arrows that Lu Huo had fired.
Longma Buddha followed the staff and rushed out, quickly closing in on Lu Huo in just a few steps.
Deer Fire unleashed a hundred arrows simultaneously, pushing the laws of arrows to their limit.
But Longma Buddha was stronger; the long staff in his hand was also wrapped with a top-tier law, which suppressed Lu Huo's arrow law.
Within three moves, Longma Buddha Son used his higher-level staff techniques and Buddha's physical body to close the distance to within twenty steps of Deer Fire.
Within five moves, Longma Buddha had already closed the distance to within ten steps.
On the 45th move, Longma Fuzi swept out with his staff, knocking Lu Huo away.
Longma Buddha put away his long staff: "Amitabha, Brother Luhuo, you flatter me."
Lu Huo's face was grim.
The Laws of the Stick.
This disciple of the Buddha, is he hiding so well?
His mastery of the Laws of the Staff was even deeper than that of my Laws of the Arrow, having already reached the minor completion stage. Moreover, his combat awareness was too strong. Although I lost, I did not lose unjustly.
Lu Huo said, "I lost."
Although they lost face today, Lu Huo can afford to lose.
Longma Buddha sent out a Bodhisattva-level fist technique, saying, "Senior Brother Lu Huo's mastery of the Law of Arrows is also very high. I was only able to win today by chance. If Senior Brother Lu Huo's mastery of the Laws were any higher, I would be in danger today."
This is a Bodhisattva-level fist technique; Senior Brother Lu Huo, please keep it safe.
Even Lu Huo lost, which left many people sighing.
Lu Huo was already extremely strong within the Chan Sect, and he was also a disciple of the Chan Sect who had comprehended the laws.
He has already lost. Looking at the younger generation of the immortal realm, who else can fight against him?
Is there no one in the Eastern Xuanmen sect who can rival them today? Have they really allowed this little bald monk from the West to run rampant here? (End of Chapter)
