Chapter 872 - 319: The Old Monk Has Died and Become a New Pagoda
[Very difficult to understand? Actually, it’s quite simple. No one can confront me for hundreds of years and escape unscathed, even if he only faces a fragment of me.][I have long left an imprint in his Spirit core. As long as I wish, I can use it as a portal.]
"Don’t waste words with him, attack!" Within the Inner World, Hel suddenly screamed, "Attack with all your strength! He’s using my Divine Authority!"
Manifesting in this place as a Buddha, Wuzhou’s expression suddenly turned strange, and he chuckled lowly,
[Indeed, it is an old friend before me.]
Behind Ji Jingqiu, the Bodhi Tree suddenly radiated endless Glazed Glass Light, resonating with the Silent Annihilation Buddha Country deep within the Spirit Ocean.
A vast Buddha Country spanning across the boundless Plane World faintly manifested Heaven and Earth!
And just at that moment.
The Supreme True Buddha below suddenly made a move!
He mobilized the power of the Buddha Country, supporting this Pure Land, and because the power was nearly of the same source and root, severed Ji Jingqiu’s connection with the Silent Annihilation Buddha Country.
Yet Wuzhou remained calm and composed, slowly said:
[You shouldn’t have let that Bodhi Tree absorb so much of the Supreme True Buddha’s Power of Faith and Will, this will be a painful lesson.]
Ji Jingqiu’s heart sank.
Was this also within the other’s calculations?!
This guy, is completely different from that Wuzhou in the Inner World!
He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, this oppression was all-encompassing. In the face of such lofty oppression, he felt as small as a pawn in the other’s palm, with no room for struggle, even though he had anticipated it.
At this moment, Ji Jingqiu finally understood what kind of enemy Master Mu and Master He were facing ten thousand years ago.
Perhaps only someone like Marshal Ji, could stand against such beings, even grasping their weaknesses, loopholes!
Ji Jingqiu slowly breathed in and out, his gaze burning, this unprecedented oppression did not make him despair.
He only felt his Spirit soaring with unprecedented vigor, battle intent boiling.
If he cannot overcome today, how could the Four Demons unite in the future?
Wuzhou slowly stood up, overshadowing all of Ji Jingqiu’s vision, the oppression growing stronger, he smiled and said:
[Next, I will completely seize the last basis of Mu Heshan’s existence.]
[If you do not stop me, this Supreme True Buddha will descend into utter chaos and madness, burn himself, and wreak havoc upon the Federation.]
[With his strength, the unrestrained outbreak is enough to destroy the border defenses before the Great Universe’s will sends down punishment, or even... enter the Abyss Zone on my behalf to reconnect with those four.]
[And if you wish to stop me, you must use that so-called ninety percent core Divine Authority to order Mu Heshan to commit suicide.]
[I am very much looking forward to seeing what you will choose.]
Within the Inner World.
Hel’s expression was ice-cold, this wretch is still the same, viewing all Spirits as puppets, viewing human emotional fluctuations as jokes, most fond of soul-crushing actions!
Beside him, Wuzhou trapped under Fatty Hu, showed a barely noticeable smirk in his eyes.
With such means, dare to oppose "me"?
He overestimated Ji Jingqiu, also overestimated the methods left by Mu Shitian!
...
Above the Buddha Country, countless black threads outlined a reverse blood-red Swastika symbol in the Heaven and Earth.
This realm suddenly stirred up a bloody storm, countless wailing cries echoed in the Heaven and Earth, filth descended, Yellow Spring connected, turning this Buddha Land into Demon Land.
Wuzhou’s expression seemed mocking, as if watching an ant who boasts of cleverness, but is actually arrogant and presumptuous, even knowing his presence and daring to come.
Today, even without obtaining the World Venerable’s Dao Fruit, he could witness this one causing the demise of Mu Heshan.
Not to mention...
His determination to obtain the Dao Fruit of the World Venerable Lineage today is unwavering!
Suddenly.
Wuzhou, manifesting in the form of Buddha, his expression suddenly changed, the Buddha Light around him rippled chaotic like water waves.
A roar of anger spread throughout the Heaven and Earth:
"Mu Heshan?!"
...
Ji Jingqiu’s expression was indifferent.
Today, if he hesitates or fails to choose, that senior might be very disappointed?
In a brief moment of distraction, he made his decision.
All the Fate and Karma bore by myself.
If he does not even have such awareness, what talk is there of the Dao?
At this very moment.
In the Heaven and Earth plunged into Demon Land, suddenly a burst of Glazed Glass Light ascended, amidst the sound of Buddhist chants, a vague pure white Buddha appeared.
"What does life everywhere seem similar to? It should be like a swan stepping into snow mud."
"Claws occasionally leave prints in the mud, the swan flies without measuring east or west."
"The old monk has died, forming a new tower, broken walls unable to see old inscriptions."
"Do you still remember the ruggedness of days past, long road, man weary, braying mule."
Fragmented murmurs penetrated Ji Jingqiu’s ears.
As if illustrating a life of inevitable Impermanence, experiences of the past, all like a swan stepping into snow, though traces remain, they eventually fade away...
And towering over it all, was the journeyer’s enlightenment.
At that moment, Ji Jingqiu looked into the eyes of the Supreme True Buddha.
His gaze remained calm, even gentle and transparent, filled with purity and compassion, as if he saw through everything, benevolent like an elder.
Even facing Wuzhou’s oppression, Ji Jingqiu’s Mental Realm did not experience a great upheaval, at that moment it shook!
Familiar words that had resonated not long ago, echoed in his Spirit.
— Only at the correct time and place, especially in the ’corresponding circumstances’, can one have the opportunity to establish a Great Vow recognized by the Heaven and Earth Universe and all beings.
— This guy clearly doesn’t have much time, saying he wants to pass on teachings to you, but he’s been holding you up without action for quite some time.
What is the correct time, place, and circumstance?
Right now.
The Heavenly Demons counter Buddha, seeking to steal Dao Fruit, harm the Heaven and Earth universe...
This is... correct?!
A "correctness" personally guided by Mu Heshan, even stimulated?!
A sphere of Glazed Flame suddenly rose from the lotus platform beneath the Supreme True Buddha, silently burning a Buddha.
The whole Heaven and Earth were illuminated with pure brightness.
Zen sound resounded through the Heaven and Earth, divine flowers cascading.
Solemn and grand, zen calm and peacefulness spread throughout the Heaven!
As if the Buddha seated, ready to pronounce the Great Vow:
[If I attain Bodhi, then when the End of Tribulation arrives, the light will illuminate Three Thousand Yanfu, past and future, within the birth and annihilation of epochs...]
