Chapter 388 Yang He Cannot Be the Buddha of Dipankara

The infant gave the Taoist Ran Deng a cold glance, his eyes seemingly containing the myriad worlds flowing within them.

The Taoist Ran Deng had a hole pierced through his chest and abdomen, but he dared not use Yin energy to heal the wound. He staggered and knelt down, kowtowing and saying, "Greetings, Sage Jieyin."

The Guide Daoist gently waved his countless arms, his palms opening and closing like Buddha eyes. "Randeng, you have greatly disappointed me. Even your Dao Fruit can be taken away by others."

The waves froze, and the twenty-four heavens fell into a deathly silence.

The Taoist Ran Deng dared not say more. The Buddha's position was personally refined by the two Western Saints. It is said that only one seed can be conceived in the Pure Land every few thousand years. Even the Taoist Duobao did not have this opportunity.

"Band Lamp, the Buddha's attainment is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Only you can use this attainment to achieve enlightenment. But the intervention of a sage is different."

The Taoist Ran Deng felt a chill run down his spine. "This scoundrel Shen Gongbao is a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable..."

"Yuanshi Tianzun will not concern himself with Jiepai Pass for the time being."

The guide interrupted, saying, "However, this person has been in contact with Laozi. We must reclaim our Buddhahood as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

Just as the Burning Lamp Taoist was about to ask another question, he saw the Guide Taoist's thousand hands suddenly curl up, and his pearl-like body gradually shrank, eventually transforming into a hazy Buddhist light that hung in mid-air.

The Water and Fire Child stepped forward at the right moment, gently supporting the Buddha's light with his palms together.

"The sage retires for the night."

The voice of the Water and Fire Child was ethereal and otherworldly, creating ripples on the sea.

The Taoist Ran Deng immediately bowed his head: "This disciple respectfully sees off the Sage."

When he looked up again, the Water and Fire Boy had already gone far away on the golden lotus. However, the lotus platform had only traveled halfway when the Guide Daoist turned back into a pearl.

However, the object inside the pearl was no longer an infant, but a child around ten years old.

The Taoist Ran Deng's face was a mixture of emotions as he watched the Water and Fire Boy disappear. "The saints have begun to descend one after another. It's still a long way from their peak, but they have already shown an indescribable erosion."

He swept his arm over his arm; the skin and flesh were almost indistinguishable from those of a clam.

"The injuries are too severe; I need to rest and recuperate for several days."

After calming down, the Taoist Ran Deng carefully considered the gains and losses and realized that the act of seizing the Buddha's position might have been Shen Gongbao's initiative.

Daoist Duobao knew that the Buddha's attainment was beyond the reach of others.

The previous probing was clearly just a delaying tactic; it's estimated that they'll wait until Daoist Zhunti descends upon the Immortal Slaughtering Formation before officially seeking a position.

Burning Lamp Taoist is considered to be on the side of Receiving the Guidance, while Treasure Master Taoist is on the side of Zhunti.

There was no conflict of interest between the two, but since it involved the attainment of Buddhahood, the Taoist Ran Deng had developed some murderous intent towards the Taoist Duo Bao.

"Shen Gongbao is quite audacious, actually thinking of using wolves to devour tigers. Does a mere mortal really aspire to become a Buddha in the Pure Land?"

"This person is indeed incredibly capable."

The scene of Shen Gongbao transforming into a puppet immortal is still vivid in my mind. Even though it only lasted for a few breaths, it was enough to pose a threat to a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

The Burning Lamp Taoist instructed the Cihang Taoist to make a trip to the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Daoist Temple.

"Whether it's Shen Gongbao or the Corpse Taoist."

"If Cihang Daoist is unable to help, I will personally take action after I recover."

.........

Whether you inherit the rewards from the Imperial Edict to the Ghost Immortal, you will receive the following benefits.

Yang He returned to the main world, feeling extremely refreshed. Regardless of whether he could attain Buddhahood, he couldn't leave it to that old schemer.

I want to light the lamp. The thousand-year-old plan of the Taoist priests has been destroyed in an instant.

Yang He swept over the harvest.

【Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field】

[Buddhahood]

[748 living immortal heads]

Thirty-three heads of the Immaculate Buddha.

Yang He, the thief, didn't leave empty-handed; he also took all the heads with him. If the fake Heavenly Dao Tree hadn't been unable to refine them, he would have uprooted them as well. Nearly eight hundred heads were neatly arranged in the side room, but unfortunately, they were just shriveled skin and bones.

He absorbed the treasure bone tomb and then ignored it, silently reciting the mantra to exchange for the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field, which he had not had time to inherit when the heavenly tribulation struck him earlier.

The Niwan Palace was in turmoil, and the Corpse Wheel Small World gradually transformed into the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field. Compared to the hasty advancement, the area of ​​the Dao Field nurtured by the true body suddenly increased by one-tenth or one-twelfth.

Half a month later, Yang He sat cross-legged in the secret room, his body filled with yin energy that seemed to solidify.

As the last wisp of Yin energy returned to the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Dao Field, he slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them, his realm already stable.

"Exchange for the Buddhahood."

With a thought, Yang He's tumor appeared in the room.

In an instant, the entire city of Peibai, and even the entire Jialiang water town, fell silent.

Yang He felt his hair stand on end, and the Sanskrit characters on the rock-like surface of the tumor glowed with a bloody light, as if countless malicious gazes were piercing through the void.

It is peering at itself from every angle.

[Common Things: The Heart Can Cause Murder]

[Related Allusion: "Ghost Slaying Immortals"] Do you wish to consume 10 points of Spirit Vision to enter the allusion world?

"Carrying the fruition of Buddhahood!"

The tumor disappeared, and the examination came to an abrupt end.

"Entering the world of classical allusions confirmed."

Yang He summoned the control panel without hesitation, and time in the main world stopped.

He looked up at the sky and saw that the ten sun-shaped heads of the sixth level of hell looked terrified. His spiritual vision was vaguely visible, and it seemed that a shadow that covered the sky and blocked out the sun flashed by.

The shadow had disappeared, but Yang He was certain that this thing was related to Dipankara Buddha.

Yang He's expression was solemn. Things involving the very essence of immortals and Buddhas could not be brought back to the main world rashly. Even with the Yin-Yang divider blocking it, the novice protection might disappear at any time.

He had a premonition that the endless hell would reappear on earth sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Yang He communicated with the Dharma seal in his mind.

Fa Yin had received news from his disciples in the main world recently, most of which were positive. His nominal disciples were reliable, and the various forces were supporting each other and growing stronger.

Wang Lan has regained control of the Grand Council, and the current emperor, being old and frail, has joined forces with Si Nantu and Lei Dechang to support the second prince.

The Zishi Sect's henchmen outside were either incorporated into Yu Zheng's forces or purged by the imperial court.

Now only a group of cultivators remain, hiding in the heart of Qianyuan Mountain.

The Fuyang Chamber of Commerce has spread throughout the north and south of the Great Heavenly Court, and even beyond its borders, it has dispatched hired warriors to venture deep into remote mountains and wilderness.

"A mixed bag of joy and sorrow."

Yang He couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly when he read to the end.

Nowadays, the worship of not only Nuwa, but also the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, the Three Buddhas of Buddhism, and many other immortals and Buddhas has become popular in various places.

Behind the revival of immortals and Buddhas, it is likely a test of the mortal realm by the higher authorities.

"We must integrate the mortal realm as soon as possible. I want to transform the main world into a sacred ground!"

Yang Tong also seemed a bit strange. According to the map compiled by the Fuyang Chamber of Commerce, the geographical structure over the past three thousand years has been completely different.

It's not just the changes in mountains and rivers, but also the passage of millions of years, like the changing of the sea into mulberry fields.

"Investiture of the Gods is based on the normal geography of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, while Journey to the West is divided into four continents. There will definitely be a dramatic change after the Investiture of the Gods ends."

Yang He didn't delve into it further, his gaze falling on the three regular characters.

"The Yin Ghost Immortal and the Three Corpses Daoist are probably already under surveillance, and the Treasure Daoist is also eyeing us covetously. Why not play the role of... the Immaculate Ghost Buddha?"

Yang He also planned to hand over the Buddhahood to the Immaculate Ghost Buddha for refinement.
