Chapter 545: The Buddha's Edge on the Other Shore, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas
During the catastrophe, all kinds of things happened one after another. Aristocratic families, great ways, dynasties, sects, and races fought for it, and many forces were also secretly gathering strength.
Daozu is not only the biggest enemy of the Shenwu Realm, but also the biggest enemy of all forces that want to dominate the three thousand worlds.
During the ten thousand years of seclusion, many geniuses emerged in the Three Thousand Worlds, and the catastrophe drove the struggle among all living beings.
There are more and more Taiyi realms in the immortal way. Those who have reached the Taiyi realm are already able to compete with the eternal giants in the Kaiguang Shengwu realm. The immortal way, which has only been developed for more than 20,000 years , already has many existences comparable to the eternal giants, resulting in the immortal way becoming more and more attractive to all beings in the three thousand worlds.
The trend is set. Even if Jiang Changsheng does not intervene, the growth rate of believers will only get faster and faster.
However, during the catastrophe, there was constant fighting and many believers died, but in general, the average strength of the believers was increasing.
On this day, inside Zixiao Palace.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes, his body swayed like a reflection on the lake, but soon returned to calm.
"It seems that I have to be more cautious in the future."
Jiang Changsheng sighed. There was only Bailong in the hall, and he was sleeping, so no one could hear what he said.
The reason why he sighed was because he was too strong. Once he accidentally revealed an aura that surpassed Zizai Tian, the will of the Tao would reject him. Just at the moment when he finished his enlightenment, he was almost expelled from the endless void.
Ten thousand years have passed, and Jiang Changsheng's Dao Fruit is getting closer and closer to the Daluo Dao Fruit. The growth rate of his incense value has slowed down, but he can feel that the reason why it is slow is because he is about to undergo a transformation. Once he achieves Daluo, his strength will undergo a qualitative change.
Even now, the value of his incense has exceeded 7,000 Tiandao incense points.
You know, except for him, the strongest person in the endless void has not exceeded 1,000 Heavenly Dao Incense Value.
Facing the upcoming Daluo realm, Jiang Changsheng felt that he had to prepare early.
So, he called up the Taoist cause and effect value and prepared to activate the Taoist function of returning to the gods.
Every time he opened the Taoist tradition and returned to the spirit world, the Taoist temple he went to was the one that taught the Tao he wanted to hear.
[Taoism causal value: 22, 9121, 5580, 4320, 7791, 3345]
This string of numbers is really exaggerated, and it also proves the power of the immortal way.
This is a manifestation of the condensation of the immortal way, it does not represent the value of the immortal way. The stronger the immortal way is, the more cause and effect values the orthodox has. Cause and effect itself is very mysterious.
Jiang Changsheng hesitated for a moment, but decided to use it all in one go.
After making the decision, he directly activated the Taoist function of returning to the spirit.
Then, everything in front of his eyes became blurry and he felt dizzy again.
In less than two breaths, Jiang Changsheng's senses recovered. He opened his eyes and found himself in the vast starry sky. There were bright stars in every direction, magnificent galaxies like whirlpools, and huge nebulae like gods. He felt like he had reached the extreme realm.
The starry sky as a temple?
Jiang Changsheng was secretly curious. He looked around but did not see any other seekers.
He watched for a while, then flew forward.
He had put so much will into it, but no will had ever come to a place like this.
As he walked forward, Jiang Changsheng gradually heard the sound of chanting, and it was not just one person.
Buddhism?
Jiang Changsheng silently guessed that during the previous Taoist return to the gods, he had been to the West and gained a lot, so he was also full of expectations for Buddhism.
That future Buddha is at least a Daluo being, which shows that Buddhism was extremely powerful in the past.
Speaking of which, Jiang Changsheng feels that Buddhism is full of mysteries. There is also the shadow of Buddha in martial arts, but it only exists in the lower realm, not in the three thousand heavens and earth. The only one who can be called famous is the Taichu Buddha, but his Buddhism is the great Dao tradition.
He had a hunch that Buddhism had once flourished, and that it might have risen again and dominated the endless void after the immortal path was annihilated. Otherwise, why did the immortal path leave so few traces, with only a vague concept of immortals and gods, while Buddhism had many methods of cultivation passed down, which even influenced martial arts.
Soon, Jiang Changsheng saw the Taoist temple.
Deep in the starry sky, golden light shines, and a majestic golden Buddha sits cross-legged on a golden lotus. It is larger than the nebula, sacred and majestic. In front of it sit rows of Buddhas, densely packed and countless, as if it is a Buddhist kingdom.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly thought of the lotus flowers he had seen in the Bodhi Buddha Sea in the West. Each flower represented a huge world. What kind of magical power was needed to hide so many vast worlds in one pond?
When Jiang Changsheng approached, the sounds of billions of chanting stopped abruptly. The Buddhas did not turn back, but still turned their backs to Jiang Changsheng and faced their Buddha.
"The destined person has finally arrived."
A loud and majestic voice sounded, surprising Jiang Changsheng.
Is he the only outsider who listens to the teachings in this temple?
Jiang Changsheng continued to move forward. When he entered the range of golden light, a lotus seat appeared out of thin air in front of him. He sat on it without hesitation.
Then, he saw two more lotus seats appear beside him, ten feet away from him, which meant that there were two more seekers.
The sound of chanting rang out again. Billions of Buddhas chanted, how spectacular it was. The sounds gathered together, so loud and clear that it shook the soul.
Even with Jiang Changsheng's level of cultivation, he was aroused to the point of entering a state of ecstasy after hearing it. Fortunately, he stabilized his mind in time.
"If such a voice is used to preach, it is indeed beautiful, but if it is used to fight against the enemy, it is equally terrifying."
Jiang Changsheng looked up and his eyes fell on the incomparably majestic golden Buddha. This golden Buddha had a more powerful aura than the future Buddha. It was like the ancestor of all Buddhas, sitting upright in the starry sky, taking in all the heavens and worlds.
After waiting for a while, the second seeker arrived.
Jiang Changsheng took a glance and was shocked.
There was black mist lingering on this person's robe, and only his figure could be vaguely seen. His head was revealed, and he was a gloomy-looking man with half of his face covered with strange black lines.
Jiang Changsheng had never seen this person before, but he felt inexplicably palpitating.
His intuition told him that the other party was at the Daluo level!
As Jiang Changsheng got closer and closer to the realm of Daluo, his feelings about Daluo became deeper, and he even felt that this person might not be his real self.
The man in black mist sat on the lotus seat to the right of Jiang Changsheng. After he sat down, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Changsheng, saying, "This fellow Taoist looks a little unfamiliar, but to be able to come here with a body of will, it must be extraordinary. My name is Haitian, what is your name?"
Jiang Changsheng replied: "My name is Changsheng, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."
Shocking?
I have never heard of it before, but the other party mentioned the clone of will, which verified Jiang Changsheng's guess.
Haitian nodded and said nothing more. The two of them each had their own thoughts, waiting for the arrival of the third seeker.
About half a cup of tea later, the third seeker arrived.
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. He had seen this man before. He had also heard him preach when he was performing the Taoist method of returning to the spirit world. It turned out to be the Great Ksitigarbha.
Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came to listen to the teachings this time, which made him even more curious about the identity of the Golden Buddha.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva took his seat and Jiang Changsheng greeted him politely.
"I didn't expect that you and I have such a deep connection."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said this meaningfully, and then his eyes glanced at Haitian and became cold.
Haitian snorted coldly, quite displeased.
Do these two have a grudge against each other?
Jiang Changsheng was curious. It was really uncomfortable to be caught between a pair of enemies.
He began to chat with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had long seen that he was not the real body, but only the will of Daluo, and came from the future. Now that they met again, the two did not talk about the past and the future, but only talked about their insights.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "Being able to come to the other side of the Buddha's Edge shows that you have great fortune. This lecture will also be beneficial to your practice above Daluo ."
The other side of Buddha?
Jiang Changsheng took note of it silently. He really wanted to ask about the Golden Buddha's identity, but was afraid of offending him.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "The founder of all Buddhas is beyond the Great Dao, immortal and indestructible. His myriad Dharma forms are mysterious and unfathomable. It is an extremely rare blessing to be able to listen to his teachings today."
The ancestor of all Buddhas?
What a domineering name!
When the ancestor heard this, he felt that his status was higher than that of the Buddha.
Jiang Changsheng couldn't wait to listen to the sermon. As for not meeting other old friends who came to listen to the sermon this time, he didn't regret it. After all, he had seen through the past and the future, and there would be plenty of opportunities to see them again.
After waiting for a while, the ancestor of all Buddhas finally spoke:
"Today I am giving a sermon. Three predestined people have arrived. I will talk about the Daluo Dao Fruit. The Daluo Dao Fruit is the end point of all living beings and the starting point of the Dao..."
Listening to the voice of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas, Jiang Changsheng quickly immersed himself in it, forgetting everything else, as if he and the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas were the only ones left in the entire starry sky.
The ancestor of all Buddhas also talked about Daluo from the perspective of time, from shallow to deep. The essence of Daluo is transcendence and freedom from constraints. Daluo is a new stage of Tao fruit. When Daluo is achieved, the magic power is like the power of rules. Going one step further, Daluo itself is the Tao.
As his sermon deepened, figures appeared in the starry sky in Jiang Changsheng's eyes. They were all him, him in different time and space. He even saw himself in his previous life on Earth.
All the wills are not just afterimages. Most of them are thinking, as if they are listening to a sermon together. Gradually, some of them are angry, some are annoyed, and some are sighing, showing the various states of sentient beings.
Different wills have different experiences and enlightenments, so what they hear is different from Jiang Changsheng himself. However, after the integration, Jiang Changsheng will benefit more.
Time passes quickly.
The ancestor of all Buddhas talked about how to control the Daluo Dao Fruit, which is what Jiang Changsheng needs.
There is a huge gap between the Daluo realm and the Taiyi realm. Many people in the Daluo realm find it difficult to control their own aura at the beginning, and may even cause the tragedy of the annihilation of the world.
Later on, the ancestor of all Buddhas began to preach the Daluo Buddhism.
The essence of Buddhism and Taoism is Taoism, but Buddhism pays more attention to the original mind, cultivates Taoism with the heart, and regards the physical body as a skin bag.
After an unknown amount of time, the sermon finally came to an end, and the wills around Jiang Changsheng were only one tenth of what they had left. They all stood up and walked over to merge with Jiang Changsheng.
Only after all the will was absorbed by him did he open his eyes.
"That's right, Brother Changsheng has not been bewitched by Buddhism. This is rare for someone at your level."
A terrifying voice came from the side, with a hint of appreciation in the tone.
