Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 148 Great Aspirations

It was violently shoved into his body, followed by information pollution, then a thunderbolt from the sky, and he died!
As he became more and more proficient at the process, he consumed all the remaining demonic energy without wasting it.

Xu Xuan felt that this stuff was very nourishing.

The celestial demons in the Paranirmitavasavartin Heaven no longer lined up; they pushed and shoved each other, refusing to descend.

There's a great demon fishing down there; whoever goes there will die.

They are chaos, desire, indulgence, and everything negative.

Only the will to survive knows no positive or negative.

The temporary portal to the descent was also reluctantly closed.

A sense of perfection arose in his mind, and the holy monk's pure and untainted Buddhist heart was strengthened once again, while the demonic intent left behind by countless demons was also intensified.

You demons, don't you just confirm my identity as a demon from beyond the realm?
brush!
The inner demon tribulation is over.

Xu Xuan let out another muffled groan.

The Shattered Dao Chains had already stripped away his Dao-Seeking Realm cultivation, and the iron chains around his body tightened once more, causing cracks to appear in his divine soul body.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is that the group of karmic demons pounced on them.

People say that by entering the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, one can completely escape the five turbidities of this evil world, be free from the suffering of greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt, and avoid falling into the five signs of decay in the heavens and humans.

All the beings in that land, upon hearing this sound, immediately began to think of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha.

At this moment, the blissful scene was about to be destroyed, and places that Xu Xuan himself had barely seen were falling into ruin.

Karmic demons overturned the Seven-Jeweled Golden Canopy, polluted the lapis lazuli ground, burned the seven rows of trees, ate the Seven-Jeweled Flowers and Leaves, smashed the Eight-Jeweled Merit Pool, trampled the Seven-Jeweled Lotus Flower, and made merry in the jeweled pavilion. They even sat on the lotus platform and pretended to be Bodhisattvas.

The karmic fire was carried into the Pure Land by them, burning wantonly, and in the midst of a sea of ​​fire, there was no peace or tranquility.

Someone was locked on the Thirty-Sixth Lotus Platform, seemingly powerless, and could only watch the apocalyptic scene unfold.

But the flames in his eyes were gathering, and the demonic thoughts in his heart were boiling.

Wait, wait for the right opportunity.

He had just figured out a way to overcome his inner demons, and there were two methods.

One approach is to guide and transform, taking on the sins of many karmic ghosts with great compassion, and reciting scriptures and praying for blessings daily to eliminate evil causes and effects; this is the righteous path.

Another option is transformation.

snort!
His body trembled uncontrollably.

Another piece of pure land was shattered, and the realm of detachment from desire was worn away. At this moment, Xu Xuan only had the Bodhi Mind Realm left.

A monk with a Bodhi mind will have a strong desire to get rid of suffering and help others.

Xu was no exception, and the size of the Pure Land was already appropriate, having collapsed from its boundless expanse to the area of ​​Guo Bei, a single city.

In other words, the time has come.

drink!!!!!
With demonic thoughts as its foundation, Bai Lian freely switches between supernatural powers.

I've truly fallen for it!!!
The Demon Lord Fahai was engulfed in demonic energy. After turning to the dark side, his magical power increased dramatically. His realm was still the same, but his strength was not the same.

He single-handedly shouldered the shattered chains with his divine soul body. So what if he was carrying the ancient divine mountain? A demon is one who can do whatever he wants.

Amidst the clanging of metal, the Demon Lord stepped down from the lotus platform and strode toward the edge of the Pure Land.

The commotion terrified the ghosts, who fled in terror, for the fear of the great demon was etched into their hearts.

Is this monk going crazy?
No, the monk is about to lose his temper.

In just a few steps, we arrived at the edge of the Pure Land.

"You don't like the Pure Land of Bliss? Well, you've been too kind of you!"

The Demon Lord Fahai grasped the edge of the Pure Land with both hands, using his great magical power to penetrate his own realm.

Veins bulged, muscles bulged all over the body, bones cracked and popped, the Pure Land collapsed.

The ghosts, bewildered, were only horrified to discover they could not escape when they tried to fly out of the Pure Land; it was simply a matter of sealing off the heavens and earth.

You can ignore the Buddha's teachings, but what about the demonic path?

The ghosts were filled with great fear, as if continuing would lead to their utter destruction.

The demons covered their faces and wept bitterly, running around in all directions like headless flies.

He immediately began to beg for mercy.

"Holy Monk, stop! Stop now! If this continues, everything will be destroyed, everything will be destroyed!"

"Your Majesty, it's a ghost!"

"Master, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Xu Xuan ignored him. Was he going to admit his mistake now?! Finally, the sacred mountain collapsed, and heaven and earth were turned upside down!
The sixteen wondrous sights vanished before our eyes, leaving only a vast expanse of black earth.

The boundless black earth, like a pure land, transcends the boundaries of reality and size.

Tens of thousands of karmic ghosts standing there felt a surge of fear in their hearts, a fear that was neither able to live nor die, and that they would never be able to escape.

The white-robed monk still possessed the same refined and gentle demeanor as when he first arrived in Guobei, with a warm smile.

Despite being covered in cracks, the sense of danger increased a billionfold.

Despite being chained, he felt no pain whatsoever.

"Amitabha."

"Welcome to my Pure Land!"

Amidst the roar, the earth trembled, and a gray city wall tens of meters high rose from the ground, with a massive black city gate standing all around.

Is this Guo Bei?

No, this is the Pure Land of White Lotus.

The sun sets in the west, rivers freeze, trees shed leaves, crystal loses its color, magnificent buildings collapse, and even Bodhisattvas shed tears.

Xu Xuan ascended atop the white lotus once more amidst the desolate scene.

With a wave of his hand, the Judge's Hall reappeared.

"Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished. This place is a place of punishment for evil."

A karmic ghost, relying on the power of divine retribution, naturally refused to submit and was killed with a single finger.

When it was resurrected, it was already clad in chains of karmic fire and was emitting endless wails.

Every bit of divine retribution can be shared, a perfect way to atone for my sins. I'm a genius.

The karmic ghost wept bitterly, knelt on the ground, and begged the holy monk for mercy, showing no trace of its arrogance and unbridled behavior in the Pure Land.

The compassionate monk Bailian, naturally moved by humanity's plight, pointed out a path to salvation.

"To enter my Pure Land, one must abandon worldly ties and external causes, calmly atone for sins, and endure suffering."

"Once the soul is scattered, one can escape the cursed land, no, the pure land."

Then he put away the Pure Land and looked at the rampaging tribulation clouds above.

In a fit of rage, Xu captured all the karmic ghosts, thus thoroughly provoking divine retribution.

The punishment God gave you is to lock you up.

What does that mean?!

The broken chains spun wildly, and the rate at which the karmic ghost was consumed increased instantly, making Xu Xuan feel distressed.

"Question me?"

"Evil will be punished, is that not true?"

"I'm such a kind-hearted person, and you've driven me to this point. Don't you ever reflect on your own actions?"

"If this is divine retribution, if this is fairness, if this is the truth of heaven's will?"

"Then what's wrong with changing the world?"

Good heavens, Yan Chixia had no idea what was happening over there.

He saw the karmic ghosts flying all over the sky suddenly disappear, and then the world went dark. The thunderous sound shook him so much that he rolled to the ground.

However, Young Master Xu's act of questioning divine retribution was still a bit outrageous.

The tribulation clouds in the sky also paused for a moment.

"If you spare me, I will continue to teach and nurture people, balance the order of heaven and earth, and regulate the fortunes of good and evil."

"It can be considered a grand ambition, and it's feasible."

The calamity clouds were somewhat chaotic.

The final bolt of lightning, more symbolic than punitive, struck, charring Xu Xuan's soul before dissipating.

They dispersed.
Yan Chixia's views on spiritual practice were severely impacted.

The holy monk exhaled a puff of blue smoke and said with difficulty.

"Because this is also a grand ambition."

The great cause and effect of heaven descends.
