Simultaneous travel: My sons all have the qualities of an emperor

Chapter 374 Seven Treasures Emerge and Jiang Liu is Defeated; Gu Ming Arrives in Person

Seeing Chen Jiangliu's frivolous attitude and disregard for him, the ancestor of all Buddhas, the Buddha Tathagata, though not showing anger, exuded an even deeper sense of oppression.

He seemed to put the heavens and earth below him, giving people a sense of arrogance and dominance.

Even Chen Jiangliu couldn't help but glance at him, a strange emotion rising in his heart. He slightly jumped up, preparing to face whatever came his way.

Then the Buddha said, "Chen Jiangliu, in your previous life you were my second disciple, named Jin Chanzi. Because you disobeyed the Buddha's teachings and disrespected my great doctrine, I have demoted your spirit."

The purpose of reborn you in the Eastern Land was to temper your negative traits and increase your Buddhist potential, but I never expected that your negative traits would be so difficult to change.
Now, I'll give you one more chance: shave your head and become a monk, join my Buddhist faith, complete the Journey to the West to obtain the true scriptures, or don't blame me for demoting your spirit again.

Chen Jiangliu was surprised to hear of his past life and origins for the first time, but he had no doubts. He had been familiar with Buddhism since childhood and had spent a long time at Jinshan Temple, so he knew the status of the Buddha.

Such a person wouldn't lie to him; it wouldn't make sense.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I've been watched by a group of monks since I was a child." Chen Jiangliu seemed to understand, but he sneered at the Buddha's suggestion to shave one's head and become a monk.

"What does my past life have to do with my present life? As for joining your Buddhism, don't even think about it. You'd be more likely to join my religion!"

The Buddha's face darkened, and his voice boomed like thunder, "You unworthy disciple, so stubborn and unenlightened!"

After saying this, a Buddha's palm emitted boundless golden light, its power far surpassing that of the one aimed at Sun Wukong.

Such a grand spectacle had already attracted the attention of the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace, and the scene was clearly displayed in the Haotian Mirror.

The Jade Emperor and all the other deities watched this scene with great interest, giving off a sense of schadenfreude, as they were all enjoying the spectacle of Buddhism.

However, the Jade Emperor sighed slightly, as if he could see Chen Jiangliu being suppressed. After all, Tathagata was a renowned and top-level supernatural being in the Three Realms, and even he could not be said to be able to completely suppress him.

"What a pity. If Chen Jiangliu were a few times stronger, he could have caused a great deal of chaos in the Buddhist community."

Immediately, Chen Jiangliu saw the overwhelming Buddha's palms descending, yet he felt no fear whatsoever.

Many people know that the Buddha is powerful, but they don't know the extent of his power. Only by being there in person can one have some understanding of it.

Like a monkey, he dared to swing his staff at Buddha, but he also admitted that he could not fathom Buddha's true nature.

It was a boundless, endless power.

But Chen Jiangliu was different. When he faced the Buddha directly, he suddenly realized how powerful he was!
In his perception, the so-called "Heaven-Covering Buddha Palm" could only cause him a little trouble.

Immediately, he laughed loudly, "Buddha, don't be in a hurry, watch as I convert you into my sect!"

As he focused his energy into his dantian and stomped his feet on the ground, the earth sank several inches with each step!

Then Chen Jiangliu gathered his strength and leaped up like a shooting star chasing the moon, charging fiercely towards the boundless Buddha palm. The boundless Buddha palm met the endless swastikas, each swastika gathering infinite Buddhist energy.

It exudes the purest power of vows in the world. In a trance, Chen Jiangliu heard infinite chants of Brahma within it. If an ordinary person were here, no, even an immortal would be instantly converted!

"This heretical and unorthodox method! Break it!"

Chen Jiangliu shouted and, in the most ordinary posture, suddenly rushed upwards, his figure disappearing into the boundless golden light, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

The Buddha's expression remained neither sad nor happy, as if he had already foreseen the outcome. After all, he had sensed that this attack was devoid of supernatural powers or magical abilities; it was merely a reckless charge, a display of physical strength.

However, if it were just physical strength, it would be insufficient against his supernatural power. After all, his palm strike carried the power of the vows of Mount Ling and was imbued with the karmic vows of countless people!

The next moment, a series of shattering sounds rang out, and the solid Buddha light shattered like a mirror, making a crisp sound.

Even Buddha couldn't help but gasp, staring at Chen Jiangliu in disbelief. He clearly had no magic power or supernatural abilities, only brute force, but this brute force was far too great!

Then he saw Chen Jiangliu leap into the void, and with a sudden stomp of his legs, as if using force, the invisible void cracked open with this stomp!

Taking advantage of the momentum from that leap, Chen Jiangliu soared again, spreading his wings like a Kunpeng, and charging towards the Buddha with unparalleled force like a wild bull!

The Buddha's expression immediately changed drastically. As Chen Jiangliu ruthlessly displayed his strength and circulated his qi and blood, the Buddha also felt the power within Chen Jiangliu's body.

Beneath that seemingly humanoid exterior lies the boundless life force of an ancient, savage beast—no, it is comparable to the ancestral witches!

Immediately, the nine-grade golden lotus of merit beneath the Buddha's seat radiated golden light, enveloping the Buddha. This nine-grade golden lotus of merit is a treasure that safeguards the destiny of Western Buddhism, condensing the destiny of Western Buddhism.

The two can be said to be mutually dependent, sharing both prosperity and adversity. As long as Buddhism does not decline, the Golden Lotus is almost indestructible, because the Buddhist fortune will continuously provide the Golden Lotus with its source of power, thus ensuring that the Tathagata is inherently invincible.

Boom!

Chen Jiangliu and the golden light emanating from the Nine-Rank Merit Golden Lotus collided, unleashing endless waves of energy that swept in all directions. Upon seeing this, the countless Bodhisattvas and Arhats all showed expressions of alarm and hurriedly fled.

As we all know, the effects of force are opposite. When Chen Jiangliu was using all his strength to kill Tathagata, he also experienced a corresponding force under the influence of the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus.

The Buddha stood motionless under the protection of the golden lotus, but Chen Jiangliu let out a muffled groan and flew backward, crashing into the earth and sinking into it for an unknown distance.

The Buddha's eyes held a hint of apprehension. Although he had the upper hand in this exchange, it was only because he possessed the destiny of Buddhism and was inherently invincible.

Moreover, Chen Jiangliu was truly terrifying. Tathagata clearly felt that at the moment Chen Jiangliu collided with the Buddha, the entire Buddhist fortune decreased by a tiny bit. Although it was only a tiny fraction, it was enough to show how terrifying Chen Jiangliu was!
You must know that Buddhism is thriving now, growing stronger every second, yet Chen Jiangliu caused its fortune to decline instead of rise in an instant!

"A variable, an anomaly, you cannot be allowed to live!"

The Buddha immediately took out his golden alms bowl. This treasure contained a universe within, capable of capturing all spirits. Once a spirit was trapped inside, its magical power would be absorbed, thus imprisoning it forever! Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong immediately roared, "Shameless Buddha! He actually bullies people by relying on his many magical treasures!"
"Chen Jiangliu, borrow my Ruyi Jingu Bang!"

After saying that, Sun Wukong somersaulted to Chen Jiangliu's side, threw his golden cudgel at him, and then his body transformed into the size of a god or demon, actually going to catch the golden alms bowl for Chen Jiangliu to give him a chance to catch his breath!
However, the divine and demonic bodies that were strong enough to support the heavens and the earth and hold up a part of the sky grew smaller and smaller under the light of the golden bowl, and were eventually directly absorbed into it without any power to resist!

Then, the golden alms bowl continued its momentum, rushing towards Chen Jiangliu, who had sunk into the earth.

"Your turtle shell is really hurting me!"

Suddenly, Chen Jiangliu's voice came from underground, filled with anger. Then, a golden rod suddenly shot out from the ground, extending continuously, and directly blocked the golden alms bowl that was falling with unparalleled force.

Then, as the earth shook, the golden cudgel trembled again, and its momentum became even stronger, directly overturning the golden alms bowl. A figure emerged carrying the golden cudgel, his actions exuding unparalleled arrogance and domineering power.

"Now, just watch closely as I overturn your lotus throne, smash your golden bowl, and knock you down from your position as Buddha!"

Having said that, Chen Jiangliu ran across the earth with such force that the earth shook and the mountains trembled. Then he leaped into the sky, raised his golden cudgel high, and with boundless and unparalleled power, he cleaved it down on the head of the Buddha with the force of splitting Mount Hua!
At this moment, the Golden Cudgel was of unknown length, perhaps thousands or even tens of thousands of meters. Chen Jiangliu held one end, and from the end he held to the other, the incomparably sturdy cudgel began to bend, like a crescent moon!

Then, the crescent moon, like a bowstring, suddenly straightened!
Rumble!
For a fleeting moment, the golden light emanating from the Buddha dimmed slightly. Then, the golden cudgel, carrying a powerful counterattack force, was transmitted back to Chen Jiangliu, causing his tiger's mouth to ache.

However, Tathagata did not show any joy at this moment, because he sensed that Chen Jiangliu's attack was even stronger, and the golden lotus was consuming its luck even faster!

Then, the Buddha's face turned ugly. In an instant, he summoned the Vajra Pestle, the Six Roots Purification Bamboo, the Prayer Beads, the Relics, and other treasures, and threw them at Chen Jiangliu without regard for anything else. The world was immediately filled with the sound of chanting, which shook people's minds.

The blessed pestle strikes the human body with unparalleled power; the bamboo seals the six senses, making one vulnerable to attack; the prayer beads are as heavy as heaven and earth; the relics combine offense and defense; and other treasures shine brightly.

On the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor was surprised by Chen Jiangliu's performance, but he knew that he could only go so far. Moreover, after seeing Tathagata reveal many magical treasures, he became even more determined in his heart.

Moreover, upon seeing the current scene in the Lingxiao Palace, the other immortals couldn't help but think of another name for Tathagata during the Investiture of the Gods period.

Duobao!

Compared to Tathagata, who could casually unleash countless magical treasures, Chen Jiangliu's side appeared rather meager, with only a golden cudgel in his hand, which he used to lash out at the magical light coming from all directions.

But it was precisely this golden cudgel, combined with Chen Jiangliu's unparalleled strength, that caused all the precious lights to dim, and nothing could stop Chen Jiangliu from getting closer and closer to the Buddha.

The golden cudgel in his hand had been swung into a halo of light, like a black hole radiating golden light, annihilating and devouring everything!
He then stepped into the void, creating a spatial rift, and launched a fierce attack on Tathagata from the void. His violent outburst was like a sea of ​​thunder, bombarding Tathagata.

The Buddha also knew that this matter could not be resolved peacefully, so he took up his blessed pestle and struck both men and gods. It had been used by Zhunti, one of the two Western Saints, during the Investiture of the Gods.

This thing is extremely ferocious. Kong Xuan, who was almost known as the number one person below the sage, was struck by this pestle and turned into his original peacock form. He also used this thing to fight against the Tongtian Sect Leader, which shows its divine power.

Then, Chen Jiangliu struck Tathagata with his staff, but the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus neutralized the attack. Tathagata then struck Chen Jiangliu with his staff, causing his body to crack. The two fought their way up from within the heavens and earth, all the way to beyond the heavens.

All the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas on all four sides of heaven and earth cheered, believing that the Tathagata was bound to win.

But gradually, they realized something was wrong. Although Chen Jiangliu was covered in blood, he fought more and more fiercely, and his life force showed no signs of weakening. On the contrary, it was getting stronger and stronger.

Although the Buddha's power remained undiminished, his magical strength vast, and the golden lotus unchanged, his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

In this one battle alone, he destroyed the fortune that Buddhism had gained over three years!

He intended to use the Golden Lotus to manifest his Dharma form and fight Chen Jiangliu head-on, but seeing Chen Jiangliu's increasingly fierce fighting spirit, he put his immature idea out of his mind.

"No, we can't let this drag on any longer. This Chen Jiangliu is simply inhuman. He can create something out of nothing and constantly improve himself. Damn it! Damn it! How did he acquire such good fortune!"

The Buddha was completely baffled, but he knew he couldn't keep wasting time with Chen Jiangliu. He knew he had no chance of suppressing Chen Jiangliu; at most, he could only outmaneuver him.
Chen Jiangliu was like a chaotic sea, inexhaustible, while he was truly consuming the Buddhist fortune. He suffered a huge loss in this battle!
With a bleeding heart, Tathagata's eyes revealed a ruthless glint. Though unwilling to act rashly, he had no other choice!
Then he took out an object, which was a small tree with seven colors: gold, silver, lapis lazuli, glass, tridacna, red pearl, and agate. It was the Seven Treasures Tree, the supreme treasure of Zhunti's enlightenment, and also the supreme treasure of a sage.

The treasure of a sage is so great that only a sage can rival it, while all those below the sage are like ants!

Then, the Buddha, holding the Seven Treasures Tree, unleashed a divine light of seven treasures. The light was vast and eternal, carrying boundless power as it flowed toward Chen Jiangliu.

Upon seeing this divine light, Chen Jiangliu felt extremely uneasy and was about to raise his stick to strike, using offense as a form of defense!
However, the moment the giant golden cudgel, as large as a pillar supporting the sky, came into contact with the Seven Treasures Divine Light, it uncontrollably shrank and then transformed into a golden shadow that was absorbed into it.

Chen Jiangliu knew that this was definitely one of Tathagata's biggest trump cards, but he was helpless in the face of this divine light. His intuition told him that he absolutely could not touch it!

Thoughts raced through his mind like lightning, and then Chen Jiangliu turned and ran away, his departure swift and decisive, showing none of the ferocity he had displayed just moments before.

Moreover, the direction he ran towards was none other than the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas hiding in the four directions of heaven and earth, and he was seen to be the only one who stepped out of the air and produced all kinds of thunder.

Then, he threw a Bodhisattva in one hand and a Buddha in the other towards the Seven Treasures Divine Light.

Those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who had been famous for countless years were as powerless as chicks in Chen Jiangliu's hands.

Tathagata: ······

The other Buddhist followers were even more shocked and fled in panic. They had no choice but to run away; this person was too cruel, throwing them into their treasure!
As Chen Jiangliu ran and threw things in, nearly half of the Buddhists in the world had been thrown in before long. In the Lingxiao Palace, the gods were both happy to see Buddhism make a fool of itself and terrified by Chen Jiangliu's methods.

Then, a Buddhist chant, even more vast and powerful than the Buddha's, came from beyond the heavens. A Buddha's hand appeared clearly between heaven and earth, reaching out to grab Chen Jiangliu. It was the sage making his move!
Zhunti!

"Hmm, your Buddhism is utterly shameless. It's one thing to bully people with your many magical treasures, but now even the old ones are getting involved. Are you trying to take advantage of my son's lack of support?"

Suddenly, a foot appeared between heaven and earth, stepping down on the Buddha's hand from a superior position, and then the boot lightly crushed the Buddha's hand into powder!

All the Buddhas and gods were shocked and paled!
