Chapter 543: The decisive battle at Lingshan, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Formation!
No one can tell exactly how the war started.
I only know that
This battle was extremely brutal!
In order to completely drive Buddhism out of the earthly immortal world, this time, not only did the three religions use their full strength, but the heavenly court also sent out all the masters, and four marshals led millions of heavenly soldiers to help, specifically against the millions of Buddhist soldiers.
In such a situation,
The Buddhist sect, which was unable to support itself, was defeated step by step. One Buddhist country after another was destroyed, one temple after another was burned down, and countless Buddhist disciples died.
final,
Only a small number of elite Buddhists retreated to Lingshan, preparing for a decisive battle with Taoism.
In order to defend Mount Lingshan, Buddhism has played all its cards this time. The two Western saints directly used their extraordinary means to forcibly upgrade all of the seven ancient Buddhas, except Dipamkara, including Vipaśyin Buddha, Sikhin Buddha, Viśvabha Buddha, Kunagamanmuni Buddha, Kasyapa Buddha and Dhānagarbha Buddha, to the realm of golden immortals.
Together with Sakyamuni Tathagata, Maitreya Buddha, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Zen Master Wuchao, who were already Golden Immortals, Buddhism now had twelve powerful Golden Immortals.
The lineup is extremely luxurious!
Not only that, the two saints in the West also bestowed all the magic weapons in their hands, including the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, the Eastern Blue Lotus Treasure Flag, the innate spiritual treasure, the Ninth Grade Merit Golden Lotus, the Paradise Cushion, and so on.
This also indirectly reflects the poverty of the Two Saints of the West. All they have are these few magic weapons. In comparison, the Three Pure Ones are all rich.
It can be seen from this that
When the treasures were divided at the Dividing Treasure Rock, Hongjun Daozu still had some differences in relatives and strangers. He was particularly kind to the three disciples of the Three Pure Ones, but he was a little hesitant towards the two saints in the west...
Side door,
After all, it’s just a side door!
…
Xiniuhezhou, Lingshan.
In order to guard the last pure land of Buddhism, all the elite members of Buddhism except Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who still stayed in the underworld gathered and set up the Ten Thousand Buddhas Array.
For a time,
The Buddha’s light is vast and the precious elephant is majestic.
At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the armies of Heaven and the three religions also arrived one after another and divided into three groups.
All the way to heaven,
The five golden immortal masters, including the Jade Emperor Zhen Yuanzi, the Gou Chen Emperor Kong Xuan, the Ziwei Emperor Lu Xueqi, the Golden Pool Holy Mother Diao Chan, and the guardian god Kunpeng, are all present.
Standing behind him are the Eight Gods, the Four Marshals, the Three Officials Emperor, the Zhenwu Emperor and other masters.
Later on,
There are countless heavenly soldiers and generals.
The two teachings of human and expounding are one path,
Led by the four golden immortals Yunzhongzi, Nanjixianweng, Xuandu Dafashi and Guangchengzi, the inner disciples of the Chan sect such as Chijingzi, Huanglong Zhenren, Yuding Zhenren, and the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave of the Human sect, Yixi and other masters gathered together.
Jiejiao all the way,
Led by the three golden immortals, the Golden Spirit Mother, the Wudang Mother and the Yunxiao Goddess, disciples of the Jiejiao including Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, the Golden Hoop Immortal, the Ten Heavenly Lords of the Jin'ao Island, the Hanzhi Immortal, and the Caiyun Fairy gathered together.
Among the crowd,
Guangchengzi glanced at the Jiejiao side inconspicuously. In terms of the number of Golden Immortals, with the escape of the Nanji Immortal, the Chenjiao was already on par with the Jiejiao, and they were even ahead in the number of the three-decline and four-decline celestial immortals.
Overall strength,
The orthodox school has already surpassed the unorthodox school.
This was mainly because the eldest brother of Jiejiao, Duobao Taoist, betrayed his religion and became Sakyamuni Tathagata of Buddhism; and the Turtle Spirit Mother, one of the four inner disciples, completely perished in the last Battle of the Gods.
Zhao Gongming lost the Dinghai Divine Pearl and has been unable to attain enlightenment ever since.
In addition, among the seven eunuchs of the Jiejiao, except for the Golden Hoop Immortal who is still alive, the Dark Cloud Immortal was fished away to the Eight Virtues Pond in the Seven Treasures Forest in the West by the Zhunti Taoist using the Six Pure Bamboos. The Vairocana Immortal and the Long Ear Dingguang Immortal became one of the seven ancient Buddhas, and the Qiushou Immortal, the Lingya Immortal, and the Jinguang Immortal all became mounts of Buddhism.
Because of this,
In this attack on Buddhism, Jiejiao responded actively, perhaps with the intention of rescuing their fellow disciples from Buddhism.
By then,
I'm afraid the strength of the two sects, Chan and Jie, will be equal again.
Due to the almost impossible-to-reconcile rift between the Chan and Jie sects, Guang Chengzi's attention was mainly focused on the Jie sect. On the contrary, the great master Xuan Du was more concerned about the Heavenly Court camp.
There are five golden immortals, second only to Buddhism.
The strength of the second echelon is even more eye-catching. The Three Officials Emperor, the Zhenwu Emperor, and the Eight Righteous Gods all have the potential to reach the realm of Golden Immortals. How can one not be worried?
In particular, Master Xuandu also knew that the Heavenly Court and the three religions had joined forces to suppress Buddhism during this catastrophe, which was actually proposed by Emperor Haotian.
What is the purpose of heaven?
Is it simply because he is displeased with Buddhism, or is it just to occupy Xiniu Hezhou?
Master Xuandu doesn't believe it!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice beside me, "Your Majesty, can we start?"
It’s Yun Zhongzi.
After experiencing several catastrophes, the once blessed immortal and hermit has become entangled in cause and effect and can no longer maintain his purity. He has to charge to the front in every battle.
However, it obscured a lot of Guangchengzi's light.
The one who can be addressed as "Your Majesty" by Yun Zhongzi is naturally the current nominal leader of the Three Realms - the Jade Emperor.
See this,
The Golden Spirit Mother from Jiejiao also looked over.
Although Buddhism has set up such a large display, the three religions are not afraid. In comparison, the number of Golden Immortals on both sides is equal, so what is there to be afraid of?
The two saints from the West can bestow magic weapons, but it is not easy for the Three Pure Ones to do so.
Especially the Patriarch Tongtian, maybe because he suffered a loss last time, this time he directly bestowed the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, and the people of Jiejiao could no longer hold back.
Zhen Yuanzi said gently: "Please wait a moment."
"wait?"
Yun Zhongzi's eyes were filled with doubt. Could it be that some other big boss was coming? All the golden immortals in Hongmeng Heaven were basically here. It was impossible for the saint to come personally, right? !
Sudden,
Yun Zhongzi thought of something.
Just as he was about to say something else, he heard Zhen Yuanzi smile and say, "Here I come!"
Sure enough, along with countless white flowers falling from the sky, a carriage pulled by nine phoenixes slowly came out of the chaos, and inside sat a supreme and noble female fairy.
"Hello, Madam!"
The immortals in heaven were the first to pay their respects, and it was none other than Queen Mother of the West.
Although the Queen Mother of the West has only reached the level of a Golden Immortal, she has been staying in the Shenxiao Palace for many years and accompanying the Great Emperor Haotian. In the eyes of all the immortals in heaven, her status is still supreme.
"Hello, Madam!"
The disciples of the three religions who reacted also bowed and greeted him.
In terms of seniority, Queen Mother of the West was once a boy under the tutelage of Hongjun Daozu. She was one of the innate gods and was born above the disciples of the three religions.
On cultivation,
The Queen Mother of the West has already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, overshadowing all the Golden Immortals present.
On identity,
Yao Chi Jin Mu is the Queen Mother of Heaven and the leader of the three realms of fairies.
No matter from which perspective, the disciples of the three religions have no reason to be negligent. In addition, the powerful strength of the Heavenly Court is before them, which makes it even more convincing.
Even such outstanding female fairies as the Golden Spirit Mother, the Wudang Mother, and the Yunxiao Goddess lost some of their luster in front of the Queen Mother of the West.
Looking at the entire Hongmeng sky,
Among the female fairies , perhaps only Nuwa can surpass the Queen Mother of the West.
