Chapter 293 I'm Here
While Li Anran was checking the life of the Jade Emperor, Wu Tian was also busy.
After taking over the Heaven and the Buddhist world, he did not rush to the underworld, but went to Yuanjue Cave on Lingjiu Mountain!
Buddhism is divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. Tathagata is the founder of Mahayana Buddhism, and Dipankara is the founder of Hinayana Buddhism.
Although Theravada Buddhism has gradually declined and Mahayana Buddhism is prevalent in the world today, the power of Theravada Buddhism cannot be underestimated.
Wu Tian didn’t know what back-up plan Tathagata had arranged, but as long as he could get Randang to his side, his chances of winning would be much greater.
"Black robe, you send these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to the Heavenly Prison and hand them over to Li Anran for guarding."
Wu Tian collected all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Lingshan into the black lotus and handed them to the black robe. He then instructed the giant scorpion beside him: "Giant scorpion, go to the Asura Realm and ask Ayi Nafa to take the magic weapon he refined to the Heavenly Prison. Within a month, I want to see a new team of gods and immortals, from the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother to the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, no one can be missing, remember?"
Thirty-three years may seem like a long time, but it is actually very short!
There is no way that the sentient beings in the three realms could recognize and accept this Buddha Wu Tian who suddenly appeared!
He wants to win the bet with Tathagata , and also wants to reform the Buddhist world. The best way is to use someone else's skin as a substitute, and achieve his own goals in the name of a god!
"We will follow the Buddha's command." The man in black robe and the giant scorpion left.
Only then did Wutan set out for Lingjiu Mountain.
In order to show respect to the ancient Buddha Dipankara, Wutan did not appear directly in the Yuanjue Cave, but appeared at the entrance of the Yuanjue Cave.
“Who dares to trespass into Lingjiu Mountain?” The guardian god of Lingjiu Mountain noticed someone approaching, revealed his figure, and asked loudly.
"I am a monk named Wu Tian, and I would like to see the ancient Buddha Dipankara. Please ask the mountain guardian god to convey my request on my behalf." Wu Tian clasped his hands together with a gentle attitude.
The mountain guardian god looked Wu Tian up and down, and seeing that he looked quite good, he said, "Wait for me, I'll go right away..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the ancient Buddha Ran Deng sigh from inside Yuan Jue Cave: "Kinnara, you are finally here! Come in!"
Kinnara?
The mountain guardian god was stunned, and before he could react, Wutan was no longer in front of him.
In Yuanjue Cave.
Randang sat cross-legged on the sixth-grade golden lotus of merit, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand. He looked around with a slightly fluctuating expression, but it soon disappeared, leaving only calmness and indifference.
He had already learned from Tathagata about the bet between Tathagata and Wu Tian, and had been waiting for this day to come.
From today onwards, there will no longer be any Dipamkara Buddha in the world!
A purple light lit up in front of him, and Wu Tian appeared. He put his hands together and bowed respectfully: "I, Wu Tian, pay my respects to the ancient Buddha Dipankara."
Although Randeng had made up his mind long ago, he still had to go through the formalities and said, "Kinnara, when will the cycle of revenge end? Why are you doing this?"
Wu Tian, however, did not know this, and said seriously: "Ancient Buddha is wrong! My dispute with Tathagata is not a dispute of personal grudges, but a dispute of the Great Dao! I have waited in the abyss of darkness for 7,632 years, just for this day! I will use my own abilities to change the Buddhist world, and I will prove that my Dao is right!"
After a pause, Wu Tian showed his greatest sincerity: "Ancient Buddha Randeng, I hope you can support me. As long as you support me, you will always be the ancestor of all Buddhas, and your status will be higher than that of the World Honored One!"
Randeng looked at Wutan quietly without saying anything, then he clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
In an instant.
Infinite Buddha light spread out from Randang’s body, so bright and dazzling that Wu Tian couldn’t open his eyes and had to mobilize his magic power to fight against it.
When the Buddha's light reached its peak, it suddenly disappeared.
Also disappearing along with it was Randeng, who was sitting cross-legged on the sixth-grade golden lotus.
Instead, there was a golden relic!
Wutan looked a little ugly.
He never expected that Ran Deng would so decisively choose to pass away, abandon his Buddhist practice, and sever all ties with Buddhism.
Although the ancient Buddha Dipankara only had the good corpses killed by Dipankara with the help of his six-foot-tall golden body, even if he passed away, he could still recover with the help of his original body and the evil corpses.
However, this was still a heavy blow to Ran Deng, and he would be weak for at least a thousand years.
Moreover, without the identity of an ancient Buddha, he could no longer enjoy the fortune and incense of Buddhism.
The loss is huge!
"Are you so anxious to leave Buddhism? Are you willing to sacrifice a thousand lives to sever the cause and effect?"
"Or did Tathagata hold something against you and force you to do this?"
Wutan looked at the relics left by Randeng with a gloomy face and a burning anger in his heart.
In the eyes of outsiders, the death of Ran Deng meant that he would rather disappear than be associated with him!
His prestige will inevitably be affected. Not to mention the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Theravada Buddhism, even those who might have originally surrendered to him may be shaken and change their minds.
This move by Ran Deng can be said to have hurt himself by a thousand and injured him by eight hundred!
The only one who benefits is Tathagata!
Wutan raised his eyes and looked to the left.
Look through the wall.
A young monk had tears in his eyes and covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from crying out loud.
The relic transformed from Rāhula in front of him was obviously one of the seventeen relics obtained in the bet between him and Tathāgata!
The little monk next to him was obviously left behind by Randeng to get the sarira!
However, Wutan did not take any action.
According to the agreement between him and Tathagata, he cannot personally go to look for the relics or the spirit boy!
"I want to see what other tricks you have!"
Wutan snorted coldly, and his figure gradually disappeared.
The little monk next door noticed that there was no movement next door, so he staggered in.
"Master, I will definitely hand your relic to Dao Ji!"
The young monk kowtowed several times to the relic, then picked up the relic and flew to Jambudvīpa in the south.
at the same time.
In a fairy mountain in Xiniu Hezhou, a Taoist with a strange appearance and a weird face, wearing a red robe with fire patterns and a Hao Ri Lin Tian crown, with an immortal look, let out a muffled groan, his face turned pale, and his breath weakened a lot.
If Li Anran were here, he would definitely recognize that the person in front of him was the Taoist Yan who taught King Yu Monkey the art of summoning spirits and dispatching generals!
Rāhāna was resentful that Tathāgata had taken away his position as the Buddha of Buddhism, which resulted in a significant decrease in the luck, merits, and popularity he had received from Buddhism. He did many things in secret, causing a lot of trouble for Tathāgata.
Allowing the golden-winged Roc to eat people, inducing the Laughing Buddha (Chang'er Dingguang Immortal) to deal with Yang Jian... and so on.
This is also the reason why Dipankara agreed to Tathagata's request so readily and cut off all causal ties with Buddhism.
King Yu Monkey was also a casual piece picked up by Randeng.
However, before he could use this idle trick, King Yu Monkey was captured by Yang Jian and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, serving as a tool for Yang Jian to establish his authority when he first took office as the God of Justice.
"My good corpse has been cut down. Even if I lose my six-foot-tall golden body, it won't affect me that much. It will take some time to recover. It is worth it to take this opportunity to leave Buddhism and sever the cause and effect."
“Once my injuries are healed, I will use the Dinghai Pearl to kill my ego, and then I can go find that Red Cloud Patriarch and snatch the Hongmeng Purple Qi. It will be just a matter of time before I can achieve enlightenment and become a saint!”
In order to become a saint, Randeng successively sought refuge with Yuanshi Tianzun and Jieyin Zhunti. He had a deep understanding of the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
It is clear that the Hongmeng Purple Qi is not so much the basis for attaining enlightenment as it is a key to open the door to sainthood!
It is the key bestowed by Daozu Hongjun on behalf of Heaven!
It is used to open the door to enlightenment, not to be used to attain enlightenment!
As for how to find the Red Cloud Ancestor, Ran Deng has already thought of a way -
Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth!
As long as Patriarch Hongyun is still in the Three Realms, the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth will definitely be able to find him!
Randeng was not afraid that Zhen Yuanzi would not agree.
Zhen Yuanzi seems to be detached from the world, but in fact he is the most worldly person among the ancient powerful people. It is very easy to threaten him.
More importantly, Zhen Yuanzi did not refine the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth.
The Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth is a book of the earth. Like the Book of Life and Death, it cannot be refined and can only be used!
At worst, he could find a way to pick some ginseng fruits and then steal the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth to use!
Randeng's gaze narrowed slightly, and a hint of ruthlessness and determination flashed in his eyes.
He took out an innate spiritual fruit from his arms, swallowed it, and sat cross-legged. Just as he was about to practice internal energy to recover from his injuries, he suddenly felt a palpitation, as if a sword was hanging over his head and was about to chop him down. He felt as if a disaster was about to happen.
Randeng stood up suddenly. Although he had not yet figured out what was going on, he did not hesitate at all and directly made a hand gesture, used the Rainbow Transformation Technique, and was ready to escape.
At this moment, a dark yellow golden light suddenly lit up, and countless mysterious and indescribable Dao patterns appeared around. The nodes where the Dao patterns intersected shone brightly, like a sea of stars in the sky, and also transformed into the images of rivers, lakes and countless living beings.
"Donghuang Bell!"
Randeng's face looked extremely ugly and his heart sank to the bottom.
The space seemed to solidify at this moment. The Rainbow Transformation Technique, which used to cover a million miles in an instant, now moved as slowly as climbing clouds!
After a few breaths, he flew more than ten miles!
Randeng quickly changed to several other escape techniques, but they were all terribly slow!
“Tathagata!”
Ran Deng figured out what was going on almost instantly, and uttered two words of hatred between his teeth, gnashing his teeth: "You are really calculating!"
It was the Donghuang Bell that trapped him, and it was the Jiejiao that was causing trouble for him!
However, the fact that Jiejiao was able to seize such a great opportunity must have been caused by Tathagata!
If nothing unexpected happens, Tathagata will reach a condition with him to let him give up his Buddhist practice and cut off his karmic connection with Buddhism.
He was also sold to Jiejiao in exchange for Jiejiao's agreement to let him and Wujitian have a gambling fight using the Three Realms as chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces!
Randang subconsciously wanted to put his hands together, hoping to use the Buddha's light to protect his body, but when he was halfway through the action, he realized that in order to completely sever his cause and effect with Buddhism, he had already dissipated all his Buddhist skills and condensed them into relics.
Now, his six-foot-tall golden body has been destroyed, his good corpse no longer exists, and his strength is less than half of what it was at his peak!
The only thing to be thankful for is that his evil corpse is not here. Even if his body is destroyed, it can still be slowly restored!
but……
Randeng clenched the rosary made of twenty-four Dinghai beads in his sleeve, and his hatred towards Tathagata reached its peak!
The twenty-four gods transformed from the twenty-four Dinghai beads are the key for him to cut off his ego!
If the Dinghai Pearl was taken away, it would be almost impossible for him to kill off his ego!
We can only give it a try!
Randeng didn't hesitate for too long.
It can be said that the Battle of the Gods back then was dominated by him. Now that the Jiejiao has the upper hand, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides!
Without saying anything, Randeng waved his sleeves and directly sacrificed the thirty-six sea-suppressing beads.
He had to break through the surrounding barriers and carve out a way for himself before the Donghuang Bell fell completely!
Buzz!
Twenty-four sea-suppressing beads were linked together, emitting five-colored rays of light, illuminating the entire world. They were like a light shield that continued to expand outwards, forcing back the dark yellow light cast by the Donghuang Bell.
There was light flowing inside each Dinghai Pearl, and a piece of holy land was faintly visible. Thousands of living beings sat cross-legged in it, chanting the name of Randang. Each of them was independent, yet connected to each other. There were thousands of auspicious colors and a thousand clusters of rosy clouds.
These are the twenty-four gods that Randeng had painstakingly refined!
The twenty-four Dinghai Pearls were originally magic weapons obtained by Hongjun Daozu and placed on the Fenbao Cliff. They were obtained by Tongtian Jiaozhu and given to Zhao Gongming.
However, in Zhao Gongming's hands, these twenty-four Dinghai Pearls were just hidden weapons for sneak attacks.
First use the five-colored rays to dazzle the enemy's spiritual consciousness and five senses, and then take the opportunity to use the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls to hit the person!
In Randang's hands, it's completely different!
Randeng refined the twenty-four Dinghai beads into twenty-four heavens. Each day was equivalent to a middle thousand world, with mountains, rivers, sun, moon, earth, and all living things. The power of the Dinghai beads, which was already as powerful as the four seas, was enhanced by dozens of times!
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Randeng acted very decisively and used all his strength right away.
The moment the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls were sacrificed, the surrounding space emitted waves of sounds like shattering glass. Countless cracks spread out, cutting the Dao patterns that were connected to each other into pieces.
Randeng noticed that the restraining force of the surrounding space suddenly decreased, and he was overjoyed. He quickly made a hand gesture and was about to use the Rainbow Transformation Technique to take the opportunity to escape.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sound of bells rang out.
The sound of the bell turned into a dark yellow light, spreading out like ripples.
The Dao patterns that originally spread across heaven and earth and had begun to crack and dim suddenly brightened as if replenishing energy, and the stars in the sky that made up the nodes also shone brightly.
The momentum of Dinghaizhu's breakthrough slowed down, and the expansion speed of the five-colored light shield also slowed down.
"Break it for me!"
Ran Deng knew that it would be bad if he delayed any further, so he activated the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls again , hoping to break free from the restraints in one go.
But at this moment, a golden light flew towards Dinghaizhu.
In the middle of the golden light was a round copper coin with a square hole, wings on the left and right sides, and the inscription of Heavenly Dao faintly visible on it.
Falling treasure and money!
Randang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he hurriedly activated his magic formula, trying to retrieve the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls, but he was still a step too slow.
The Luobao Money and the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls collided with each other.
Both sides lost all their luster in an instant and fell from mid-air.
Randeng already knew the effect of the Luobao Gold Coins. When he realized that he didn't have time to retrieve the Dinghai Pearl, he flew towards the place where the two collided.
But before he could fly out, he suddenly felt a chill on his back and his hair stand on end. He raised his head abruptly and looked to the upper left, and saw Yunxiao holding the Hunyuan Golden Bowl and raising his middle finger at him.
brush!
A ray of golden light flew out from the Hunyuan Golden Bowl and rolled towards him.
Randeng had no choice but to stop and dodge backwards to avoid it.
During this moment's delay, Zhao Gongming had already obtained the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls and Luobao Money.
"Ran Deng! I said ten thousand years ago that I would keep the Dinghai Pearl with you first, and I would take it back sooner or later! Now, I am here!"
