Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 198 [Maitreya's Birth, the Three Assemblies at Longhua] (Please Subscribe)
"My senior brother's changes seem quite different from when I broke through to the Great Luo realm!"

Kong Xuan, who was protecting Xuan Yin, immediately activated his Great Luo Dharma Eye to look over when he saw Xuan Yin successfully break through. It seemed that he wanted to find out what the difference was between a Great Awakening Golden Immortal and a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Xuanmen.
He also cultivates the immortal system passed down by the Dao Ancestor. Not long ago, Xuan Yin, with the help of his authority, conferred upon him the title of True Lord of the Five Elements, making him a Divine Dao Heavenly Noble. Now he can be considered a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has passed the Great Luo twice.

Your judgment is definitely excellent!

"That's right!"

Xuan Yin immediately nodded: "The Great Awakening Golden Immortal mainly focuses on the transformation of the physical body and comprehension, which is more important than the Great Luo Golden Immortal! Of course, the improvement of the Great Luo Golden Immortal is more comprehensive!"

The Heavenly Noble of the Divine Path can live in the Dao and return to the Dao. The Great Enlightened Golden Immortal of the Buddhist Path can bring about an ultimate transformation in both physical body and comprehension. The five systems of the Immortal Path also have their own characteristics. He is now very curious about what kind of transformation the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon of the Demonic Path can bring to him.
Then, he looked at Kong Xuan and said, "In the original Heavenly Dao, Junior Brother would have been suppressed by that Sage Zhunti during the Investiture of the Gods and become the Peacock King Bodhisattva of Buddhism. It can be seen that Junior Brother is also a being with great Buddhist nature in the eyes of that Sage Zhunti!"

"Although I know that my junior brother doesn't like Buddhism, it's still a good choice to cultivate both Buddhist and Taoist systems for the sake of his own path to enlightenment!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but he nodded: "I will consider it!"

As the crown prince of the Phoenix Clan and now a direct disciple of the Jie Sect, Kong Xuan knows many secrets. He is also well aware of the saying that the older something is, the more powerful it is, and the more powerful something is, the more ancient it is. All the top experts in the Primordial True Realm are beings who cultivate several cultivation systems.

Not long ago, he was appointed by Xuan Yin as the Five Elements Mutual Victory True Lord, in charge of the Five Elements authority in the Primordial True Realm, which can be considered as cultivating both the divine and immortal paths!

After taking control of the Five Elements, he activated the Five-Colored Divine Light, increasing its power by 50%, and his own foundation was also incomparable to what it had been before.

After seeing the benefits, he naturally became less resistant to the Buddhist system!
The Golden-Winged Roc was also somewhat tempted.

Although he restored his primordial Yin and Yang energies to their original state and reshaped his foundation in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, his cultivation level was still far behind that of Kong Xuan.

This time, Taiqing Laozi had him follow Xuan Yin, hoping to make up for the time he had lost before through the Divine Dao Fruit.

In terms of immortal cultivation alone, Kong Xuan is indeed superior to him, and there is no possibility of surpassing him in a short period of time. However, if we compare divine cultivation, the two of them are evenly matched. With the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, he is now at the Heavenly Yi realm of the divine path, and Kong Xuan is also at the Heavenly Yi realm of the divine path.

"Perhaps I have more talent than Kong Xuan in other cultivation systems, so there's no need to hang myself on the great tree of immortality!"

As a disciple of the Human Sect, he had managed to figure out some of the sages' thoughts during this time. Although Taiqing Laozi was not as inclusive as Tongtian Jiaozhu, his greatest skill was undoubtedly the Way of Disguise. The various mysteries of the Eighty-One Transformations of the Supreme Being involved multiple cultivation systems.

The Golden-Winged Roc became more and more excited: "If they can use multiple accounts, why can't I?"

Of the three disciples of the Human Sect, Xuandu is focused on cultivation and rarely pays attention to him, but Master Du'e has taught him the art of disguise quite a bit.

He also knew exactly how many aliases this Senior Brother Du'e would use in the future!

Leaving aside the known Bodhisattva Lingji and Venus, he now serves as the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, and has used many aliases within the Underworld!

No one knows whether a judge, Yama, or ghost messenger in the underworld is actually an imposter of the True Man of Du'e.
While Xuan Yin and Kong Xuan were discussing, Maitreya, a Taoist from the Western Sect, arrived at Mount Bazhong with the decree of the Guide Taoist.

Without wasting any words, he directly read out the decree, bestowing upon Xuanzang the title of Great Bodhisattva of Buddhism!
"Thank you, Buddha, for the imperial decree!"

Xuanzang did not refuse. Becoming a great Bodhisattva in Buddhism would bring him the blessing of Buddhist fortune in the future, so he had no reason to refuse.

In Buddhism, the great Arhats and great Bodhisattvas are undoubtedly special attainments.

Its status and power far surpass those of other Arhats and Bodhisattvas. In addition, such an existence also represents the face of Buddhism.

Such beings typically do not take sides. Whether a Buddha in the past led Buddhism, a Buddha in the present leads Buddhism, or a Buddha in the future succeeds to the position, it will not affect their status in Buddhism.

Take Guanyin Bodhisattva for example. She is also a great Bodhisattva. She initially joined the Buddhist order by following the monk Dipankara. However, even after the Buddha Prabhutaratna took the throne, she remained detached from worldly affairs and her status was even higher than that of most Buddhas.

The imperial edict bestowed upon the Guide Daoist was undoubtedly a form of appeasement, but also a warning. He could accept that the Xuanzang Daoist would replace the Ksitigarbha and make a grand vow for Buddhism, but he did not want the Xuanzang to interfere in Buddhist affairs.

As long as Xuanzang focuses on converting evil spirits and wronged souls in the West and increasing the number of living beings in the West, he will naturally receive a share of the Buddhist fortune.

The Buddhist community is willing to treat him like a great Bodhisattva, but he cannot cause trouble within the Buddhist community.

Thinking of this, Xuanzang immediately looked at Maitreya Daoist and smiled slightly, saying, "Please, fellow Daoist, go back and report to the Buddha of Guidance. I understand his meaning! I will not leave the Netherworld!"

Of course, if the true body wants to do something, his avatar cannot guarantee it!
He also knew that the original body was capable of causing trouble, and he also knew that the Demon Ancestor Rahu had a karmic connection with the World Free King Buddha in Buddhism, which the original body was waiting to inherit, and that countless karmic consequences were destined to arise in the future.

The only thing Xuanzang Daoren could guarantee was that he would not interfere with the general trend of Buddhism.

As for the principal deity and the Buddha of Worldly Freedom, only Buddhism can deal with them!

"good!"

Maitreya immediately nodded: "Since you have become a member of my Buddhist sect, you might as well visit the Solitary Garden when you have time!"

“My master, my uncle Zhunti, as well as some Buddhist and Taoist sages and some future Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, will regularly give lectures and discuss the Tao in the Solitary Garden!”

"It will also bring many benefits to you, fellow Daoist!"

The Buddhist way is to argue what is unreasonable; the Buddhist principle is to understand what is not understood through debate. Only those skilled in debate can gather the hearts and minds of the people. Upon hearing this, Xuanzang immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist Maitreya. After I have dealt with these wronged souls and vengeful ghosts in the Netherworld, I will naturally take the time to visit the Solitary Garden and listen to the profound teachings of the sages!"

The Maitreya before him was undoubtedly one of the few beings in the Buddhist system worthy of his attention.

The identity of the Future Buddha is only one aspect!

His own strength, as well as his karmic connections with several sages, are equally worthy of his attention.

Needless to say, the Guide and the Cundi are the originators of Buddhism and Taoism, and naturally they would take care of Maitreya, the future Buddha.

In addition, he was also involved with Laozi of Taiqing and was a key figure in ending the great calamity of Buddha and demon and restoring the true world of the primordial world to its former clarity.

In the original grand scheme of Heaven, Wutian could only be considered the vanguard of the demonic counterattack.

Even if Wutian were to take action and slaughter all the Buddhas of Mount Ling, it would only be a test of Buddhism by the demonic path, at most an appetizer for the demonic calamity.

The demonic tribulations that followed were truly terrifying. Demons wreaked havoc on the human world, faith collapsed, Buddhas perished, and Buddhism nearly faced the destruction of its lineage.

In the past, the mainstays of Buddhism, such as Dipankara Buddha and the World Honored One Tathagata, also passed away one after another, leaving only a handful of people in the entire Buddhist community.

In this great calamity, the one who survived and possessed the strongest cultivation was undoubtedly Maitreya. 5.67 billion years after the Buddha's passing, the future Buddha Maitreya descended from Tushita Heaven to the human world, renounced worldly life to study Taoism, and became a Great Enlightened Golden Immortal while sitting under the Dragon Flower Tree in the Flower Forest Garden of Ketto City. He preached three times, and those who had not attained enlightenment under the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha in the past, regardless of their superior, middle, or inferior faculties, could all attain enlightenment at this gathering.

Buddhism also flourished again.

Maitreya also took this opportunity to go further and truly take control of Buddhism, while the World-Honored One, Tathagata, lost his power, just like Dipankara.

With a sage present, the Buddhist tradition could not be truly severed, but its decline was inevitable. However, it was connected with the Taiqing Sage.

What is Tushita Heaven?
That was one of the sacred sites of the Supreme Saint, whose incarnation, Laozi, resided there permanently, and ordinary beings had no right to enter.

Maitreya, however, was able to enter it to avoid calamity and stayed there for 5.67 billion years, which must have been closely related to Laozi of Taiqing.

After he descended from Tushita Heaven to the mortal world, unified Buddhism, and ended the demonic calamity, the two Western saints had no doubts about him.

Let him take charge of Buddhism directly.

There is no worry whatsoever that Taiqing Laozi, with the help of Maitreya, will steal the immense fortune of Buddhism.

This is undoubtedly shocking.

However, the cause and effect involved in this matter were too secretive, so much so that even though the three Heavenly Saints, Taiqing Laozi, Zhunti Daoist, and Jieyin Daoist, joined forces to cover it up, Tongtian Jiaozhu was still unable to understand the cause and effect even after twenty reincarnations.

All he knew was that Maitreya's origins were extremely mysterious. Although he was a manifestation of the innate spiritual root, the Dragon Flower Tree, his origins were definitely not as simple as they appeared.

The Tongtian Sect Leader even suspected that Maitreya Daoist was the illegitimate son of Taiqing Laozi, or that he bore the karma of a certain Chaos Demon God.

But he overturned them all!
However, Xuanzang did not come away empty-handed during his contact with Maitreya; he sensed the aura of the innate Ren water source within him.

After watching Maitreya depart, Xuanzang immediately told the deity about his discovery, while he continued to guide the wronged souls and vengeful spirits.

"The origin of Ren water!"

Xuan Yin frowned upon hearing the news.

Perhaps because he had just broken through to the Great Awakening Golden Immortal realm, Maitreya Daoist's aura was still somewhat unstable, and there were still traces of the original aura of Ren Water around him.

In the primordial true world, the most famous thing related to Ren water is the Ren water peach.

But rather...

Not long ago, in the midst of the chaotic battle, the ancestral root of the peach was partially drained of its essence by the Mosquito Taoist, and the Ren Water Peach also fell from its original rank.

Although Xuan Yin still possesses 1,200 postnatal peach trees that ripen once every nine thousand years, they only contain the postnatal Ren water essence.

In theory, the original source of the innate Ren water should only be possessed by Haotian and Mosquito Daoist.

It is impossible for Haotian to give the innate Ren water source to Maitreya without a reason.

The innate Ren water source in his body could only have come from Mosquito Taoist!
Thinking of this, Xuan Yin couldn't help but sigh: "I previously guessed that Mosquito Daoist might have already pledged allegiance to a certain sage in the Primordial True Realm, or been manipulated by a certain sage! Now it seems that this guess has become a reality!"

If the Mosquito Taoist was backed by the Two Sages of the West, it would be difficult for him to make a move against them!
However, Xuan Yin also had a bold idea: "What if we reveal the relationship between Mosquito Taoist and the two Western Saints to Haotian?"
