Chapter 133 Proving the Dao in a Dream: The Buddha Guides the Sage's Power; Playful Mood Arises as the Lingxiao Palace Projects into the Immortal Realm

For a time, the ancient Buddha Dipankara was in a life-or-death crisis.

Just then, a song drifted from afar.

"Hongmeng was famous from the beginning, and fortunately I have held on to it without changing it."

Despite the waves and winds, it remains calm and composed, enjoying peace and prosperity without beginning or end.

When one remains untainted by the six senses, one can return to oneness and walk freely and peacefully through countless eons.

A bottomless boat can hardly cross the sea, yet throughout history, countless beings have been ferried across.

As the song began, an old monk, with a sallow complexion, thin body, and a height of sixteen feet, dressed in a yellow kasaya, strode over.

With each step he took, incredible phenomena unfolded around him.

You can see countless believers and lay Buddhists in this Saha Pure Land, their expressions fervent, chanting the true scriptures.

You can also see novices coming and going, and monks chanting.

More often, a Buddha-like light appears behind the head, indicating a virtuous monk.

One hundred and nine thousand six hundred Arhats!

Three thousand Bodhisattvas!

Thirty-six Buddhas!

It appears as a pure land in the Saha world around the monk.

Who is this person?

He is the Buddha who appears at Lingyun Ferry in the original Journey to the West, sailing a bottomless boat to guide Tang Sanzang to Mount Ling.

I've said this more than once before.

In a world teeming with gods and Buddhas, names truly cannot be chosen arbitrarily.

Especially in Buddhism, you took the name of a guide.

That must be related to the Guide.

Otherwise, Buddhism itself would not be able to accept him.

That is how the Buddha guided us.

He is also known as Namo Ratnaketu King Buddha.

At this moment, boundless Buddha light surged on his smooth forehead.

A twelve-tiered pagoda, its edges adorned with tassels and flowers, exuding the fragrance of sandalwood, surrounded by eight heavenly dragons.

Each level of the Receiving Banner is occupied by a radiant king, seemingly pure and radiant, crystal clear and unblemished, with hands clasped together, murmuring Buddhist chants.

He seemed to be the embodiment of boundless Dharma and boundless supernatural powers.

Within the Buddha's light, besides the twelve-tiered precious banner, there was also a bottomless boat the size of a palm.

Clearly, this bottomless boat is the same bottomless boat that ferried Tang Sanzang across the West in Journey to the West.

Seeing the twelve-tiered pagoda, do you have any guesses?
Not bad!

This Buddha of Precious Banner Light is actually the benevolent corpse of the Guide of the Way.

Suddenly, the Buddha of Precious Banner Light pointed a finger into the void, and the ancient Buddha Dipankara, who had been chased to the point of having nowhere to go, arrived in front of him.

"Randeng greets the Buddha and begs the Buddha to uphold justice and reclaim my innate spiritual treasure, the Thirty-Three-Story Exquisite Pagoda!"

Dipankara Buddha knew that he could not seize the thirty-three-story Linglong Pagoda on his own.

He wanted to rely on the Buddha who guided him.

However, the Buddha of Guidance simply looked up at the void and said nothing more.

At this moment, he had already sensed the aura of the Primordial Heavenly Demon.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun's plan to achieve sainthood through both the Xuanmen and Momen paths failed.

However, the Primordial Heavenly Demon he unleashed was still quite powerful.

Besides, the Primordial Heavenly Demon wasn't a poor bastard like the Kunpeng Ancestor.

His magical artifact, the Primordial Great Millstone, ranks very high among all magical weapons of destruction.

Right!

Although the Primordial Millstone was not a naturally occurring magical treasure.

It was actually made by Yuanshi Tianzun by collecting a large number of fragments of the Great Millstone of Annihilation and refining them with other rare and precious objects from heaven and earth.

It is more powerful than ordinary top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Apart from Nuwa's Red Embroidered Ball and Haotian Pagoda, few spiritual treasures can compare with it.

Furthermore, his shamelessness is different from that of the lineage of Zhunti Daoren and Shanshi Bodhi Daoren.

This guide still has some pride.

At this point, he had already deduced the reason why Yang Jian killed Dingguang Huanxi Buddha.

This is because Yang Chan will be plotted against by Huanxi Changuang in the future, in short, Yang Jian has a legitimate reason to follow suit.

Zhao Gongming had his reasons for taking back the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls.

You're allowed to take away his Sea-Stabilizing Pearl with the lamp, but others aren't allowed to take it back and then grab some magical treasures along the way?
As for the Thirty-Three Heavens Exquisite Pagoda in Yang Jian's hands...

You yourself bestowed this magical artifact upon Li Jing.

Li Jing used this treasure to suppress Nezha for countless years. It fell into Nezha's hands, and it was perfectly natural for Nezha to give it to Yang Jian.

In the end, the Buddha of Guidance took away the Ancient Buddha Dipankara without saying a word.

This also signifies that the conflict has come to an end.

However, the impact it had was far-reaching.

Previously, Buddhism had a certain degree of power over other forces.

Nowadays, this suppression is less noticeable.

Even so, the Buddhist sect still has the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation, which was modified from the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and has not yet been moved.

Who can guarantee that the Xuanmen sect doesn't have any hidden methods?
Paradise!

The Buddha and the Bodhi Patriarch sat facing each other.

Their expressions were quite unpleasant.

The Bodhi Patriarch did not change color because his secrets were leaked or his character was questioned.

He never valued these things.

Something's wrong with Ksitigarbha!
He had no potential to become one of the top ten Quasi-Saints, yet he has become one of the top ten Quasi-Saints.

Yang Jian is also acting strangely.

Even if the thirty-three-story exquisite pagoda is indeed related to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Yang Jian himself said that the original essence of the Linglong Pagoda was missing.

Is this kind of loss something Yang Jian can recover?

The most bizarre thing is the mysterious presence on Mount Futu.

They can even replicate the Fusang Tree and Lu Ya's Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

Patriarch Bodhi pointed out all the irregularities one by one.

The Buddha of Guidance seemed to be deep in thought before speaking: "I suspect that this matter is related to the Golden Palace of the Azure Heaven."

His Haotian Mirror and the Kunlun Mirror of the Queen Mother of the West are two top-grade innate spiritual treasures that can be fused together.

Once fused, the ancient mirror gains the ability to project other people and objects.

Could it be that Haotian was unwilling to accept that he only obtained the bodies of the nine golden crows?

In order to obtain the last Golden Crow, namely Lu Ya's evil corpse, and thus steal the ultimate Yang Dao between heaven and earth, he secretly assisted Nezha in hunting down Zen Master Wuchao.

But that's not right either!
Because the Jade Emperor protects Li Jing, and Nezha is an enemy of the Jade Emperor's lineage, they are sworn enemies. How could they possibly join forces?

Why can the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West be called the top ten quasi-saints?
The key is that the powers of the Haotian Mirror and the Kunlun Mirror can be fused.

At the same time, in the Immortal Realm, who among those who can become powerful figures doesn't harbor some ambition?
The Jade Emperor was no exception.

He fantasized about realizing the scene of Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's demon clan heavenly court dominating the world in his own hands.

However, even though it was an era without saints like before, he did not have the strength of Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun.

Therefore, he secretly plundered the origin of the Nine Yang Spring belonging to the nine golden crows and created the Nine Suns Refining Heaven Array, attempting to steal the sun for his own use through the Nine Suns Refining Heaven Array.

It's a pity it wasn't very successful, after all, there was still one last golden crow in the world.

Now that he has shot down the last Golden Crow, Wuchao Zen Master, and evolved the Nine-Day Refining Heaven Array into the Ten-Day Refining Heaven Array, will he be able to control the supreme Yang of the world?
This is why the Buddha of Guidance suspected it was related to Haotian.

However, it is still impossible to explain why Nezha would cooperate with Haotian.
I don't understand!

Neither the Buddha nor the Bodhi Patriarch seemed to have any intention of continuing to think about it in depth.

"Wanting the Jade Emperor to stand with us is actually quite simple. Just guarantee that we can help him deal with Zhang Bairen, and he will definitely cooperate fully with us during the Journey to the West Tribulation!"

The words of the Buddha of Guidance startled the Daoist Zhunti.

It should be noted that although Zhang Bairen only possessed one-third of the divine soul of the Jade Emperor, he had undergone 1750 tribulations of cultivation, accumulating magical power and spiritual cultivation to an incredible degree.

It can even reverse the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

This also made the Jade Emperor somewhat uneasy.

Furthermore, since both of them possessed the imprint of Jade Cauldron Immortal within their souls, they could never perfectly merge.

In the past, Patriarch Bodhi wanted to gain Haotian's support and also wanted to help Haotian accomplish this task, but in the end, he failed.

unless……

"Could it be that Senior Brother has succeeded and can borrow the power of the main body through enlightenment in a dream?"

Bodhi Patriarch looked delighted.

The Buddha who guided the way simply nodded.

This action undoubtedly confirmed his guess.

"Even if one attains enlightenment in a dream, each time it is only the power of a saint's strike, which is enough to resolve many matters."

In an instant, Patriarch Bodhi felt all the gloom that had enveloped him vanish.

Of course, even with a saintly strike, it can only be used as a trump card.

Other calculations must continue.

For example, the Eight Legions.

Now, in the underworld, Ksitigarbha has rebelled.

Unable to obtain the Asuras and Yakshas.

Then there is only...

Bodhi Patriarch turned his gaze to the vast and boundless Western Sea.

Of course, the dragons are also part of the Journey to the West tribulation.

The division of labor within Buddhism is clear.

Guanyin is the commander-in-chief of the Journey to the West.

He was just reminding Guan Zizai that some things were about to begin.

Upon receiving the news, Guanyin seemed to be deep in thought.

Then, he went directly to the Heavenly Court.

At the same time, Nezha also completed his transformation.

However, this time he did not reveal his aura, thus avoiding the appearance of a powerful expert at the Great Luo Dao Fruit level in the sky.

Totally unnecessary.

Hiding his trump card can give him a surprise effect in the upcoming battle.

Inside the Cloud Tower Hall.

Su Qing suddenly understood.

He had been wondering about this for a while.

Why, despite having a 50/50 chance, was Yang Chan still unable to defy fate?

Now I understand.

Because the Joyful Meditation Heaven of the Buddha Dipankara, who caused her future disaster, still exists.

Now, the Joyful Zen Heaven has been destroyed by Yang Jian.

Yang Chan immediately defied fate and changed her destiny.

Besides Yang Chan, Taiyin Jinxian and Tianma also completely defied fate.

Thus, Su Qing was given three more chances to defy fate.

"The fact that the fake zodiac token was made real once has now brought about two instances of defying fate. This calculation is really brilliant."

Su Qing was thinking about it.

However, they sensed a beam of Buddhist light entering the Heavenly Court and then the Lingxiao Palace.

With a flash of light, the figure of Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared in Su Qing's sight.

You should know that the Lingxiao Palace of Haotian is a valuable treasure; even ordinary top ten quasi-saints cannot see through it.

But who is Su Qing?
Having received ten times the feedback from the thirty-three-story exquisite pagoda, his control over the thirty-three heavens had reached a perfect level.

Even though the Lingxiao Palace was somewhat mysterious, it couldn't block Su Qing's view.

Once we figure out what they're up to...
Su Qing smiled.

He simply waved his hand, and images were projected into the void of important places throughout the Immortal Realm. These images showed Guanyin and the Jade Emperor discussing matters in the Lingxiao Palace.

"What is this?"

This was the thought in the mind of the monk who saw the projection.

Doubts are doubts.

They naturally recognized the Three Realms Great Heavenly Venerable Haotian Jinque and the Guanyin who grants children.

The crowd was puzzled.

What kind of things would they say together? They even made sure to announce their conversation to the entire Immortal Realm.

Not bad!

Upon seeing the projection in the void, the first thought of the cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm was that this projection was a scene actively released by Haotian Jinque and Guanyin, and there must be something important that they were announcing to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

After all, no one believed that someone could transmit the scene to the world from within the Lingxiao Palace, avoiding detection by the Haotian Golden Palace.

However, the moment Guanyin uttered her first words, the Immortal Realm was in an uproar.

"I know that you took away the three-legged golden crow bodies of Lu Ya's nine elder brothers in the Nine Yang Spring."

Moreover, you want to use the Heaven-Refining Array formed by the nine golden crows to control the sun star, and thus achieve a great feat comparable to that of Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi in this era when sages cannot be born.

Now, what you lack most is the most crucial element: the three-legged golden crow body of Lu Ya, the evil corpse of Zen Master Wuchao.

"As long as you cooperate with our Western Religion's next plan, once we inform the demon race of our great supernatural powers and deal with Nezha, the three-legged golden crow's corpse will be yours!!"

The mere utterance of this one sentence caused an uproar throughout the Immortal Realm.

"Previously, it was only Ksitigarbha who said that Buddhism was ruthless to outsiders and also very ruthless to its own people. I thought that Ksitigarbha was just trying to smear the religion after his betrayal."

Now, Lu Ya's benevolent corpse, and even the evil corpse of Zen Master Wuchao, can be considered Buddhists, right?

His evil corpse body was taken away by Nezha.

Instead of helping their own people reclaim their evil corpses, the Buddhist sect used them as bargaining chips to complete a certain transaction with the Jade Emperor.

This, this, this…”

"If it weren't for the mysterious person projecting the Lingxiao Palace discussion onto the world, I truly couldn't imagine that the Buddhist sect, which is usually compassionate and claims to be benevolent, could be so despicable!"

"Brother, you've been too naive all along."

Where are the three most ferocious monsters of Lion Camel Ridge among the demon race? They are at the foot of Mount Ling.

Why would such a scene occur?
Only evil can highlight the Buddha's kindness.

Only when ordinary people are struggling to survive will they have a stronger faith in Buddhism?

Combining what Guanyin just said—that he could notify the powerful demons to deal with Nezha—we can see that the Buddhist sect's apparent exorcism of demons is actually just a coordinated act.

……

The words revealed by Guanzizai have shown many people the true reality.

While the crowd was discussing the scene, some people were more interested in the view in the sky.

From just one sentence from Guanyin, it is clear that neither the Golden Palace of the Heavens nor Guanyin knew any of this.

I wonder what other words they might be able to utter?
Before Haotian Jinque could speak, Guanzizai's voice rang out again: "Not only that, I also know that you have been restrained by Yuding Zhenren's sword, causing one-third of your divine soul to be unable to reunite."

Furthermore, as Zhang Bairen continued to undergo tribulations...

Now, 1,750 kalpas have passed, and Zhang Bairen's magical power and cultivation have even reached the point where he is qualified to compete with your original self.

This is a huge headache for you.

"If you can follow Buddha's instructions and complete our scheme, Buddha can teach you a method to devour Zhang Bairen."

The Buddhist sect has already done a great deal of work simply by helping Haotian Jinque obtain the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

Now, they are even taking the initiative to help Zhang Bairen. Haotian Jinque knows that the Buddhist sect, which never acts without self-interest, will definitely ask for something outrageous!
Haotian cut to the chase: "What do you want me to do?"
