Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 370 Demon Rao Buddha
All they could do was continue chanting sutras with their heads bowed, hoping that the golden alms bowl would soon subdue the demon and return.

Xu Xuan was dumbfounded. His senior brother said that activating the golden bowl with all his might was actually terrifying.

Even though he wasn't the target, he still felt his soul tremble; this was awe of boundless, powerful energy.

The Bodhi tree sways, its crystal light swirls, and countless sounds reverberate throughout the heavens.

Boundless light illuminated the dark and mysterious cosmic sky, the Pippala below, the gathering of the Tripitaka, and the Great Pippala Tree.

Immeasurable light, immeasurable life, immeasurable merit, immeasurable virtue, immeasurable compassion, immeasurable supernatural powers!
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who had been silent in Pippala for thousands of years as stone statues, suddenly put their hands together in prayer. The many Arhats and Bhikkhus gathered by the Tripitaka also put their hands together in prayer. Even the leaves of the canopy that covered the sky made a sound as they rubbed against each other.

"Namo Amitabha!"

There was no obstruction, no disturbance. I joyfully accepted the purification of the Buddha's light.

The Buddhist Dharma, which even the Milky Way could not shatter, vanished into nothingness, and in an instant, the world fell silent.

Xu Xuan was internally screaming "Holy crap!" This Purple Gold Bowl is so powerful!

Cool.

The defense, which even the Galactic Orbital Cannon couldn't break through, was completely wiped out by the golden particle stream.

Buddha, oh Buddha, your eating utensils are truly formidable.

In the future, I, Zen Master Fahai, will hold the golden alms bowl and travel all over the world to subdue demons and monsters as if it were nothing.

First, he cleansed the floods in Jiangnan, then crossed the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, using his own strength to reverse the great trend of the rise of evil and the destruction of the people.

My era has arrived!!!
But he never considered that if the golden bowl was really that powerful, why didn't Ruoxu use it to suppress the world?

When the last beam of light disappeared.

Only the solitary Arhat who subdues dragons remains in the starry sky, seemingly still immersed in the Buddha's light of the past, neither empty nor real, in an extremely strange state.

Why didn't the Buddha's golden bowl kill this fellow?

"I have the true Buddha in my heart, so the Buddha will naturally not purify me."

"What was erased was nothing but an illusion."

Luohan's answer was as awesome as ever.

He can no longer use any magic, but he has used it to separate some of the chaos after death.

With the blessing of wisdom, the murderous intent in his heart dissipated considerably. The ferocious look on his face also transformed into that of Kasyapa Bodhisattva.

The golden bowl that fell from the void returned to his hand, as if to prove this point.

What a reasonable Buddhist treasure! Xu Xuan felt that he had miscalculated.

It feels like if we keep fighting, the enemy will be able to clear their name.

And the way you're doing it makes it seem like I'm the villain.
and many more!

Xu Xuan, holding the golden bowl, was startled.

How can it be so light?
Looking inside, the empty space sent chills down my spine.

Originally, the golden bowl was empty, but the power contained within it was contained within. As soon as you got close, you could tell that this magical artifact was not simple.

But... now it's really too light, it's completely lost its power.

Does this mean that Buddhist ritual implements also follow the law of conservation of energy? How scientific!
This needs to be returned.
How could someone make such a huge mess?!

Thinking about the sect's reaction, the person felt a chill run down their spine; it seemed that their senior brother was going to take the blame again.

The dragon, who was far away, couldn't stand this kind of fake monk who only had a superficial understanding of Buddhism.

"The vessel that is meant to receive food from others should be empty; that is the natural state."

"The Buddhist community in the human realm has lost its original purpose by using this as a tool for propagation."

"As for why Buddhism emphasizes cultivating the mind, you heretic demon naturally wouldn't understand."

The Buddha's blessings are meant for enlightenment; using a rice bowl to subdue demons is somewhat inappropriate.

Although Jianglong's condition has fallen to a strange state, his understanding of Buddhism still far surpasses that of Xu Xuan, who fights with a bowl, and of course, it also surpasses that of the abbots of the Pure Land School throughout history.

This mockery is not only directed at those who oppose Buddhism, but also at the Pure Land School, and even at the Dharma Protectors of the East.

How could a Buddhist sect in the human realm cultivate such a wicked individual? With their fates intertwined, the entire Buddhist sect will be dragged down.

Bearing the responsibility of spreading the Dharma, Kasyapa could only shed tears at this moment.

“In the future, evil demons will transform themselves into monks, enter the monastic community, and spread all sorts of heretical teachings, leading many beings into wrong views.”

He admitted that he was about to lose, but he was truly unwilling to accept it.

The devil is right before our eyes, yet so many people are helping him.

Even the Buddha's golden alms bowl has been deceived; truly, the calamity of the Dharma-ending Age has arrived.

Jianglong was filled with immense sorrow, while Bai Suzhen began to comfort the kind monk beside her.

"Young Master Xu, you have already helped me break through the Dragon Subduing Technique's defenses. It had already fallen from its original state, its physical body was incomplete, and its spirit was dead. Now that many of its great techniques have been stripped away, it has a chance to turn the tide. Leave the rest to me." She was indeed a kind and understanding woman, not forgetting to offer a way out even at this moment.

Xu Xuan, on the other hand, burst into laughter, pointing at the Arhat and laughing unrestrainedly.

As a monk, he knew best how to defeat another monk. The grand Buddhist aura at the beginning failed to break through the opponent's Buddhist heart. This half-baked understanding of Buddhism finally stirred the mad monk's heart.

If you remain silent, you will be invincible.

But your heart has been moved.

Xu Xuan's greatest pleasure is killing someone by destroying their spirit; merely erasing the past life of a dead Arhat cannot achieve the effect of revenge.

The white lotus dharma form within his body unleashed its full power, and the invisible light and shadow pierced through the starry sky, falling into the eyes and ears of his opponent.

"That which is without self is not self, is not what I belong to, and is not the self of me."

"Are you the true Dragon Subduer? The true Kasyapa? A true disciple of Buddhism?"

The Great Thunderclap Monastery, like a thunderbolt of ten thousand feet, fell into the heart of the Dragon Subduer.

The chaos in the mad monk's eyes surged like waves, threatening to overwhelm reason.

There are even people questioning whether I am a Buddhist disciple?

What are you saying, you demon?
Under Bai Suzhen's worried gaze, Xu Xuan stepped forward and walked to the mad monk, raising the golden bowl as if it were a brick.

"Heavenly Demon, my golden body is indestructible. Your second-realm cultivation is like an ant trying to shake a tree. It's all in vain."

Xu Tianmo ignored him and slammed down hard.

clang!
“You are greedy, you are attached to the matter of spreading the Dharma, and you are unwilling to accept it if things don’t go smoothly.”

The mad monk was shocked. As the golden light traveled across his body, tiny cracks appeared.

clang!
“You are angry, you resent my existence, and you are furious even though I have not perished.”

The fine cracks are increasing, and the white light of Buddha is invading the other's wisdom.

clang!
“You are foolish, you are obsessed with the evolution of Buddhism, you cannot distinguish between good and evil, you take things in a distorted way, and you engage in all kinds of evil deeds.”

The shimmering light of the Buddha shattered, leaving only a mortal body.

"With all three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, you are not Kasyapa, not an Arhat, and not even a Buddhist disciple."

There was no fourth time; the mad monk, his head covered in blood, was completely bewildered.

The mind that is unmoved is broken, the body that is indestructible is broken, and even the Buddha's mind trembles because of self-doubt.

"Then who am I?!"

Okay, this is a very philosophical question, and Xu Xuan doesn't know the answer either.

If the mad monk were in good condition, this problem wouldn't even be a problem.

But there is no "if".

Xu Xuan had not truly grasped the Buddhist concepts of selflessness and non-attachment, so he only gave the answer he wanted to give.

"You are just a corpse that died in the past."

Vicious, cruel, and cunning.

Xu Xuan, who was even more demonic than the Heavenly Demon, broke through the external magic with the Buddha's golden bowl and broke through the internal cultivation with the power of the White Lotus's malevolent heart.

Then she left in tears, leaving behind a bewildered monk.

He said to the girl in white, "I'm leaving it to you," and then left the battlefield.

His magical power was exhausted in those three sentences, and he slumped down on the light-colored lotus, watching everything unfold.

Bai Suzhen gave Young Master Xu a deep look; what the mad monk said didn't seem to be entirely without merit.

However, it's quite interesting.

Encountering such an interesting monk on the journey is far more interesting than any dragon-slaying ritual.

Have you ever lied to me before?
For some reason, I suddenly felt a strong urge to show my strength to Xu Hanwen.

Gathering the final power of the Seven Star Array.

He unleashed seven sword strikes in quick succession.

"The first of the Big Dipper, Yangming Tanlang!" "The second of the Big Dipper, Yinjing Jumen!" "The third of the Big Dipper, Zhenren Lucun!" "The fourth of the Big Dipper, Xuanming Wenqu!" "The fifth of the Big Dipper, Danyuan Lianzhen!" "The sixth of the Big Dipper, Beiji Wuqu!" "The seventh of the Big Dipper, Tianguan Pojun!"

"Young Master Xu, this is the true Seven Star Sword!"

"Is it pretty?"

To Xu Xuan's astonishment, the Milky Way shone brilliantly, and the universe vanished into nothingness in an instant.

The calamity of death has passed.
