Chapter 110 [The Battle of the Two Buddhas: Fist is the Principle] (Please Subscribe)
Boom!

The secrets of heaven exploded, space and time trembled, and invisible cause and effect intertwined continuously in countless timelines.

Although the Taoist Ran Deng was unable to deduce the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, as the current deputy leader of the Chan Sect, he could seek help from the Primordial Heavenly Venerable at any time.

"Please enlighten me, sage!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Daoist Ran Deng stepped directly into the Jade Void Palace, bowed to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and shared some of his feelings.

A cultivator doesn't have a sudden whim without a reason. Since he has a sense of it, there must be a new change in the river of time and space.

The former Yuqing Palace, now Yuxu Palace, is where Yuanshi Tianzun sits cross-legged on a golden cloud bed, with the causes and effects of all things shining brightly behind his head.

In an instant, endless causes and effects intertwined, transforming into a Heavenly Eye that looked out over the long river of time and space, seemingly trying to see through all the causes and effects in the world.

After a long silence, he let out a long sigh: "This is a matter of Buddhism, and it is not appropriate for me to interfere. Fellow Daoist, you should go and visit the Solitary Garden!"

"Thank you saint!"

Although Yuanshi Tianzun did not say it explicitly, Randeng Daoren had already made some guesses.

Upon leaving the Jade Void Palace, his consciousness immediately entered the river of time and space, following the guidance of the unseen forces, heading towards the origin of Buddhism and Taoism.

Lonely Garden!
The innate, indestructible spiritual light reverses time and space, inverts cause and effect, and brings together the three Buddhas of Buddhism to preach under a Bodhi tree with many enlightened immortals.

The Buddha Tathagata had a solemn and dignified appearance, while the future Buddha Maitreya had an indifferent expression, his gaze seemingly fixed on nowhere. The other enlightened immortals also wore expressions of piety.

Only Dipankara, who was a Buddha of the past, suddenly changed his expression and became extremely angry. Then he looked at the twenty-four heavens behind the World-Honored One Tathagata.

"Duobao, you've gone too far!"

Upon seeing the Twenty-Four Deities, the Daoist Burning Lamp immediately understood the cause and effect. No wonder the Primordial Celestial Venerable said that this was an internal matter of Buddhism and that he was not suitable to get involved.

This is the fundamental principle of his path, and one of the important prerequisites for attaining the Buddhahood of the past!

"Amitabha!"

The Buddha remained unmoved and then uttered a Buddhist chant: "The Jetavana Monastery is a pure place. Why is Dipankara Buddha angry here?"

Upon seeing this, the other Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats immediately adopted a detached, gossipy expression.

In Buddhism, apart from those two saints, the highest level of spiritual cultivation belongs to the Three Buddhas of the Three Worlds, who are also the most important foundation of the Solitary Garden.

The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in the Jetavana Monastery are roughly divided into four factions, three of which are headed by the Three Buddhas of the Three Worlds in Buddhism.

The remaining faction only practices Buddhism and never participates in Buddhist struggles.

For example, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
But at this moment, a monkey wearing a cassock looked at the Buddha and stirred up trouble, saying, "Buddha, Dipankara Buddha has specifically named you and wants to fight you. Are you still unmoved?"

"Whee!"

Even Buddhas have anger, but he was also very curious about what the World-Honored One Tathagata had done to drive the past Buddhas to such a state of exasperation.
Upon seeing this, the Medicine Buddha immediately spoke up, "Victorious Fighting Buddha, do not be presumptuous! Do not try to sow discord between the two Buddhas here!"

But who is the Victorious Fighting Buddha?

Before becoming a Buddha, he was the lawless and unruly Great Sage Equaling Heaven who dared to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace. How could he possibly let things rest and give up his desire to watch the two Buddhas make a scene just because of a single sentence from the Medicine Buddha?
Moreover, many of the beings in this solitary garden are former Taoists who entered Buddhism, and besides their Buddhist identities, they also have other powerful backgrounds.

What they enjoy most is watching the excitement, like the Victorious Fighting Buddha. They don't contribute much to Buddhism, but they are never absent when there is excitement.

Seeing that the Buddhas of the past and present were about to have a showdown, several Bodhisattvas immediately began to use various means to call upon their friends and acquaintances.

Buddhist scriptures and teachings can be discussed at any time, but when past Buddhas and present Buddhas have a conflict, that's an absolutely unmissable spectacle!

Venerable Ananda immediately looked at Bodhisattva Lingji beside him: "Taibai... no, fellow Daoist Lingji, which Bodhisattva are you sending a message to?"

Lingji quickly replied, "What message? I'm worried that the World Honored One will suffer a loss! After all, Dipankara Buddha has cultivated for several hundred more eons than the World Honored One, and possesses numerous magical treasures. I'm preparing to find him two helpers!"

Before the words were finished, Marici Bodhisattva descended with Huaguang Bodhisattva and others.

Marici Bodhisattva is not very famous in Buddhism, but in the Heavenly Court, she is known as the Primordial Daoist.

That is, Doumu Yuanjun!
Several hundred years before the Yuanhui, he had studied under Lingbao Tianzun along with the World-Honored One Tathagata.

The Bodhisattva Huaguang behind her is also a rising star in Taoism, known as Lord Ma, who recently attained the Bodhisattva status.

Behind Dipankara Buddha, several bodhisattvas, including Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Avalokiteshvara, as well as powerful Buddhist and Taoist figures such as Kuru Sun Buddha, slowly revealed their forms.

Seeing that the World-Honored One Tathagata was feigning ignorance, Dipankara Buddha was immediately enraged: "Tathagata, how did my twenty-four heavens end up in your hands?"

"What about your Twenty-Four Heavens?"

The Buddha Tathagata still wore a faint smile on his face: "Dilthanda Buddha, are you perhaps joking with this humble monk and my fellow practitioners?"

"This Sea-Stabilizing Pearl was clearly a protective treasure bestowed upon this humble monk by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao. For the sake of Buddhism, I transformed it into the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings. How can it become yours the moment you open your mouth?"

Upon hearing this, Dipankara Buddha immediately stared intently at the World Honored One Tathagata: "You're talking nonsense! Shouldn't this Sea-Stabilizing Pearl be a treasure bestowed upon the Dragon-Tiger Mysterious Altar True Lord by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao? It's just that it has a stronger affinity with this humble monk, and thus it unexpectedly fell into this humble monk's hands during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods!"

"It is clearly you who have altered cause and effect, reversed time and space, and seized this magical treasure for yourself!"

"The hatred for blocking the road is irreconcilable!"

"Duobao, if you know what's good for you, return the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings to this humble monk immediately!"

"otherwise……"

"Don't blame this humble monk for being impolite!"

The Twenty-Four Devas were extremely important to him, providing sustenance for countless Buddhist disciples and even serving as a refuge during the Dharma-ending Age.

He will never give up!
The Buddha Tathagata still smiled broadly: "Dilthanda Buddha, with so many fellow Daoists watching, you mustn't make false accusations! Why don't you and I, along with all the other fellow Daoists, go to Zixiao Palace and ask Master Lingbao whether he bestowed the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl upon the Dragon-Tiger Mysterious Altar True Lord or upon this humble monk?"

"you……"

Dipankara Buddha was furious. Everyone knew that Duobao was the former senior disciple of the Jie Sect, and Lingbao Tianzun would definitely side with Duobao!
Moreover, he didn't have the guts to act arrogantly in front of Lingbao Tianzun!

"Without further ado!"

The Taoist Ran Deng brandished the Qiankun Ruler and the Coffin Lamp, and sneered, "Since you've stolen my opportunity, let's have a proper showdown right here!"

Boom! With a loud shout, the Taoist Ran Deng manifested a golden body of Nirvana from the void, carrying endless Netherworld Divine Fire and countless Buddhist principles, crashing down upon the World Honored One Tathagata.

"Afraid you won't succeed?"

The World-Honored One, Tathagata, sits atop a twelve-petaled golden lotus, manifesting immeasurable Dharma bodies. The Five Elements rotate in his palm, as if countless worlds are simultaneously arising and ceasing.

The Buddha's light illuminated all the heavens, and innate spiritual light was also radiated. The Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand swept across the nine heavens, and the two Great Luo Heavens collided continuously in the void.

This attack ended in a draw.

But since the World-Honored One Tathagata has taken action, he must suppress the Daoist Burning Lamp.

He was able to take charge of Buddhism because he used his own methods at the Great Thunder Temple to convince the Theravada Buddhists, led by the Daoist Burning Lamp, of their teachings.

The Taoist Ran Deng was invited by the Sage Zhunti to join the Buddhist order. He represented the Theravada Buddhist lineage headed by the Sage Zhunti.

The Buddha, however, after joining the Buddhist order, reincarnated ninety-seven times, comprehending the true essence of Mahayana Buddhism amidst the endless worldly affairs.

Behind him is the Holy One who guides us!

The debate between Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism has a long history. When Buddhist theory is not understood, one can use physical reasoning to subdue all opposition.

"Great Sumeru Fist!"

With a great shout, the Buddha Tathagata empowered his golden body with the power of the twenty-four heavens, instantly unleashing a strike powerful enough to annihilate all worlds.

At this moment, the past vanishes and a new timeline is born. The World-Honored One sits on a lotus throne, preaching the Dharma to more than a thousand enlightened golden immortals in the Jetavana Monastery.

The lamp was instantly sent flying horizontally.

"Buddha!"

Seeing this, Julusun Buddha wanted to make a move. He was the leader of the Seven Buddhas of the past and had always stood together with the Daoist Ran Deng in Buddhism.

Unlike Manjushri and others, who had flexible bottom lines and could switch back and forth between Mahayana and Hinayana, he was not a man of such a background.

no way!
In the primordial world, strength reigns supreme. Whoever has the biggest fist is the Mahayana, and the Buddha's position is reserved for those Bodhisattvas who have already chosen sides.

But since a Bodhisattva has not yet become a Buddha, he can naturally change his stance at any time.

Of course, the Buddha could also give up his Buddhahood, return to the mortal world, and re-attain enlightenment, but few Buddhas have such great perseverance!

"Humph!"

Just as Ju Liusun was filled with worry, a flame of annihilation appeared from the void, and then the Daoist Burning Lamp was reflected from the endless void.

As a Buddha of the past, Dipankara cultivated the path of Nirvana. He could enter Nirvana at any time and return from Nirvana at any time.

In an instant, endless netherworld fire, carrying the intent of annihilation, swept across the ten directions and three worlds, seemingly preparing to turn the golden body of the Buddha into ashes.

However, when the Buddha sat down, it was on a twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit. Although Dipankara Buddha had great supernatural powers, he could not break through the curtain of merit light in the void.

As the present Buddha, this supreme innate spiritual treasure that suppresses the fortune of Buddhism is the greatest source of confidence for the World Honored One Tathagata in suppressing the Taoist Dipankara.

"Om!"

As the Buddha spoke, the six-syllable mantra of Buddhism manifested, transforming into the six realms of reincarnation, which directly devoured the endless Netherworld Divine Fire.

Endless chanting of Buddhist hymns resounded throughout heaven and earth.

Subsequently, the Twenty-Four Heavens reappeared, merging into the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of the hand, transforming into a supreme Buddha realm, and suppressing down with unparalleled power.

In an instant, the Great Enlightened Golden Immortal in the Lonely Garden felt countless Buddhas manifest, sitting cross-legged in the Buddha realm created by the World Honored One Tathagata, and then transforming into rays of Buddha light, merging into the right fist of the World Honored One Tathagata.

"The principle is in the fist!"

With a great shout, the World-Honored One Tathagata manifested a fist enveloped in countless Buddhist principles, which traversed endless time and space, and then struck down the sun, moon, and stars, annihilating all laws of the heavens!
"In Buddhism, I call the shots. My fist is the ultimate truth!"

As the golden light descended, countless great paths collapsed. Dipankara Buddha's face turned pale, but he still pushed the Qiankun Ruler in his hand to its limit.

Boom!

In the endless void, laws intertwine, the Great Dao roars, and Buddha's light illuminates the universe. This is the powerful suppression of Hinayana Buddhism by Mahayana Buddhism.

Even the Solitary Garden, the source of Buddhism and Taoism, was violently shaken.

"Who's going to try and break up this fight?!"

Looking at the swaying sun and moon overhead, the Bodhisattva of Sunlight felt a headache coming on. The two Buddhas were fighting fiercely near the Jetavana Monastery, but it was the Bodhisattvas who were watching the show who were affected.

Where can I seek justice?
Unlike Zixiao Palace, the Lonely Garden, this sacred land of Dao origin, was not created by a sage, but rather evolved through the joint efforts of many Buddhist and Daoist masters.

Each Arhat, Bodhisattva, and Buddha has transformed their own path into a unique foundational stone within the Garden of Solitude.

Just like the great sun above everyone's head, it is transformed by the Great Way of the Bodhisattva of Sunlight.

Why try to persuade them?

The Victorious Fighting Buddha, always eager for excitement, looked at the Bodhisattva of the Sun and laughed, "I, Old Sun, have never seen such a spectacle since I became a Buddha!"

"Buddha, keep going!"

"With such meager supernatural powers, how can you demonstrate your supreme Buddhist principles? Why don't you unleash your full power and show the same skill you used to suppress me, Old Sun?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a few peaches from somewhere and distributed them to Lingji Bodhisattva, Marici Bodhisattva, and others who were watching the commotion.

Bodhisattva Lingji was immediately shocked: "Great Sage, you stole the Peach Garden again?"

"fart!"

The Victorious Fighting Buddha feigned anger and said, "It's only natural for a monkey to eat a peach, how can that be considered stealing? You old man, don't you dare slander my reputation!"

Upon hearing this, Lingji immediately laughed and said, "I was being presumptuous! We are in the Buddhist realm now; let the Jade Emperor worry about the affairs of Heaven!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a peach, took a big bite, and then continued to watch the battle between the two Buddhas intently.
