Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 508 Buddha Emperor
"The Three Teachings are finished."
"But the sorcerers will continue to exist, and follow those favored by destiny to initiate the next change. We are ever-changing."
This was a strange landscape, with mountains ten thousand zhang high, piercing the sun and moon and reaching the stars, and magnificent trees that stirred the seas and swept across all directions.
........
"Lin Lingsu, Lin Lingsu!"
The Tianxin gradually recovered from their madness, but still did not agree with the Yu Miao Great Sage's statement.
"Tianxin is not a dead end! How dare a mere flying immortal disturb our Dao hearts!"
Those Tianxin realm experts who deduced brilliant futures were now sitting deep in the river of time, with countless followers chanting their praises, writing stories that would be passed down for eternity, and reflecting them into true history. Thus, they even more firmly disbelieved the ridiculous notion that Tianxin was a dead end.
"It's just that we haven't reached that future yet. We can deduce it, so we can definitely reach it. The only difference is the number of obstacles ahead. What does that have to do with a dead end!"
"Moreover, the Buddha is still moving forward, and we still have a long way to go!"
They searched for the Yu Miao Great Sage but could not find him. However, soon, they noticed the disappearance of the Taiji Perfected Man, and the afterglow that had been circulating for eternity finally dissipated, causing them great mental shock.
"The Taiji Perfected Man has also disappeared suddenly, just like the Great Sun Tathagata!"
"No! The Great Sun Tathagata had the affair of seeing the North Pole, but there is no clue about the Taiji Perfected Man here. We cannot summon any information about the past or the future. Although the Taiji Perfected Man always concealed himself, not to be seen by outsiders, now that he has disappeared, we can still sense his disappearance."
"If the Taiji Perfected Man didn't want us to know about his disappearance, he could have carefully concealed it, which would not have been difficult for him with his usual methods."
"Therefore, this was done intentionally! It is a demonstration to us! The Taiji Perfected Man was killed!"
The Tianxin were greatly shocked, and many Tianxin even directly stated that this was impossible.
Tianxin would not die, Tianxin could only perish, but the methods required to destroy a Tianxin were extremely astonishing. To silently destroy a supreme expert among the Tianxin, without making any noise, was absolutely impossible.
"But aren't there few things that are impossible that have appeared before our eyes? The Great Sun Tathagata, the North Pole Perfected Man, the Jade Purity cultivators, the origin of Confucianism, which one is not shocking and beyond our imagination?"
Someone retorted, and the Tianxin were now in a strange predicament. This group of people with the most powerful force in the world could not even catch a flying immortal, and didn't even know where he existed.
To the point of being repeatedly humiliated by him.
Especially the strong ones of Buddhism, their faces were extremely gloomy, and after their discussions, as well as the strong ones of other sects, they all made a choice at this time.
In front of the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Tianxin gathered here.
"Among the emperors who have been favored by destiny and have survived from ancient times to the present, there is indeed more than one, but only this one here possesses the most powerful destiny since ancient times."
"As the Buddha said, where the heart cannot see and the mind cannot reach, we can only rely on 'destiny'."
The Buddhist Tianxin firmly believed this, and as they faced the crisis of having their origin rewritten at any time, and could not find Lin Lingsu's trace, they could only invite this one to come out of seclusion.
From the Buddha Emperor, they would borrow the destiny left over from the Han Dynasty.
However, the expressions of many of them were still not good, with complex emotions, because in the past, in order to prevent Buddhism from obtaining the true realm of the Heavenly Dao, they had forced the Buddha Emperor to seal himself and make an oath that he would not come out unless the Thunderclap collapsed and the hells were destroyed.
But now, had that moment arrived?
The origin was about to perish, and even the Buddha could not guarantee that he could stop it. The Zhaoming World no longer existed. The Great Thunderclap Temple was also in danger. In this moment of all things turning and everything repeating, nowhere could be guaranteed to last forever.
Except for those who possessed destiny, as the Buddha said.
"Buddha Emperor?"
However, the Great Thunderclap Temple was extremely desolate. Even when the Medicine King Buddha appeared, the figure of the Buddha Emperor was not seen.
"Medicine King... Buddha Emperor...?"
The Tianxin were puzzled. The Medicine King Buddha responded calmly in a monotone voice:
"You were too late from the beginning."
The Medicine King Buddha was Xuanzang. Bodhidharma and Kumarajiva also appeared beside Xuanzang, as the Light Victorious Buddha and the Zhunti Vajra.
The Three Saints of Thunderclap were all present, but only the Buddha Emperor was missing. Many people had a terrifying thought in their hearts...
"The origin... the Buddha Emperor's origin is..."
Someone's voice trembled, and that thought also tried to peek into the past here, but even though the Three Saints did not stop them, they still could not see what had happened here.
"Wrong!"
The Light Victorious Buddha spoke, stopping the Tianxin's words:
"The Buddha Emperor's origin is not in Confucianism, it is still in Buddhism, but it is not in the past, nor in the future."
The Zhunti Vajra said, "We said you were too late from the beginning because before this matter happened, the Buddha Emperor's destiny had not yet determined its final destination. Once it happened, the destiny immediately had a destination and could no longer be arbitrarily mobilized or taken. That is related to his own wishes, involving the level of Buddhahood or Dao, the predetermined path cannot be turned back."
The Tianxin still couldn't understand, and the Zhunti Vajra explained again:
"As the Buddha said, true 'destiny' is borrowed and given. Therefore, the destiny of life is not enough to be the Dao. Heavenly destiny, great destiny, and fixed destiny are the truly great concepts that shake everything. The Heaven of Heavens, borrows its existence to give to the world. This person is favored by destiny, because he has the destiny of the Heaven of Heavens on his body. His destiny is not his own."
"This kind of destiny, before the person favored by destiny has determined what to do, whether you look at it or not, it does not exist. Only when he determines what to do will this kind of destiny manifest, and one destiny can only do one thing."
"Once this thing is done, it is equivalent to Buddhahood or Dao, influencing the world. It determines the framework of the new world, and all the Tianxin experts, no matter how much they fight, cannot escape this framework."
"It's like a fish, no matter how big it is, cannot survive without water. Even if it leaves, it cannot survive for too long, because this is what the 'framework' has determined. A fish is a fish, it can only be in water. Even if it grows wings, appears fangs and claws, as long as it is still a fish, it is still in the framework. Water is what controls its existence."
"But if this thing only looks like a fish, but its essence is no longer a fish, then it can leave the framework of fish and water. The Tianxin are fish, and now, there is no one who has shed the body of a fish."
"And a larger framework, for example, the reason why fish can survive in water is because there is vitality in the water. This vitality is the larger framework. It is determined by the Dao."
Zhunti's words were very detailed, but a Tianxin expert discovered the key and immediately asked:
"Zhunti Vajra! You can say such things, have you discovered a further path!?"
"The Buddha Emperor's destiny, is it to open up this path? Or is it to change this framework, for example, to change the years of coexistence of all cultivators into an era where only Buddhism prospers?"
】
Zhunti did not answer, but the Light Victorious Buddha spoke:
"Go back. There is nothing that can be changed anymore. You need to carefully understand the Buddha's words."
"Those favored by destiny are used to protect the last origin for you. It does not mean that these destinies can change everything that has already been changed."
"Buddhism is over, and the Three Teachings are also over. The Four Symbols have closed the loop, and only those favored by destiny can continue to exist, and we have never been here again."
This conclusion, like a thunderbolt, stunned all the Tianxin on the spot.
......
But just a moment before.
At that moment, the Buddha Emperor was still here.
In his eyes, a huge shadow had already been reflected. That shadow came from the future of the future, reflected from the "dream of the dead" that even he did not know existed.
"You have the art of Heavenly Human Induction, hand it over, and open the passage of the Han Dynasty, let me pass."
"Otherwise, Buddhism will be destroyed, destiny will be recovered, no changes will be allowed, no remnants will be left, the Han Emperor and all the Han people will be transformed into Jade Purity cultivators, for my thoughts to be born and transformed."
The surging Jade Purity energy and the light of the Green History on the other party's body were terrifyingly boundless.
The Buddha Emperor's figure collapsed and disappeared in the next moment. Destiny was consumed, taking the era of the Han Dynasty to cut off the flow, causing a huge piece to shatter from the Green History.
Causing the giant shadow from the future to be furious.
"Escape? Do you also want to create an 'unknown history'!"
......
Avici Hell.
The seeds of Buddhism, a destiny descended from the Lotus Heaven, falling here, in front of the ghosts of hell.
