Chapter 655: Chapter 626: The Ambition of Great Leiyin Temple
"How is the World Honored One’s injury!"
In the Great Leiyin Temple, a Buddha asked nervously.
Shakyamuni Buddha is the sky of the Great Leiyin Temple; if anything were to happen to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Upon hearing this,
Shakyamuni Buddha’s expression remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation.
"My injury is of no great consequence. The Lower Realm has endured the eons-long catastrophe, and its foundations are even stronger than before. Those two beings possess top-tier Quasi-Immortal King and Semi-Saint levels of prowess, incomparable to ordinary cultivators.
As for the one on the Path to Immortality, they are even more formidable!"
Mentioning the Path to Immortality.
Shakyamuni Buddha’s eyes also showed a trace of apprehension.
Many Harmonization Immortal Venerables are battling there, and that Divine Emperor alone blocked the Nine Harmonization Immortal Venerables of the Three Thousand Cosmos. Even the slightest power from their battle made him feel as insignificant as an ant.
This shows how terrifying such beings truly are.
The so-called Semi-Saint.
No matter how strong, it’s merely Semi-Saint.
Without becoming a Saint, they remain ants.
Even if one proves their Dao to become a Saint, what can they really count for in front of those Harmonization Immortal Venerables?
All speak of the boundless.
But at least for now, Harmonization Immortal Venerable is the pinnacle of the Upper Realm.
Therefore.
Shakyamuni Buddha’s goal has never been merely proving Dao to become a Saint. He wants to step onto Harmonization and truly claim the title of Respect and Ancestor.
Just as was said in the past.
Heaven and earth.
Only I am supreme.
But to step into this realm is easier said than done. Even with Shakyamuni Buddha’s supreme talent and immense foundation far surpassing his peers, he cannot guarantee a true breakthrough to such a level.
Opportunities in the Lower Realm are what Shakyamuni Buddha desires to obtain.
"Since the fall of that Saint in the past, my Great Leiyin Temple has gradually declined, and even through endless ages, it hasn’t truly recovered its Primordial Energy.
Now that the cosmic tribulation has begun, who among the sentient holds sway over destiny? If we can obtain the opportunity of the Lower Realm, we all have hope for sanctification!"
Shakyamuni Buddha’s words made all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas’ eyes blaze with fervor.
Sanctification!
That’s the goal of all ordinary cultivators.
As for the higher level of Harmonization Immortal Venerable, it’s beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
Among the billions of sentient beings across the Three Thousand Cosmos, how many have truly achieved sanctification?
It is said that without cosmic tribulation, Saints do not fall.
In the past, Saints were transcendent, outside the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements, unaffected unless by cosmic tribulation, hence always superior and almost eternal with the cosmos.
Even when tribulations descend, very few Saints truly fall.
Every being who steps into this realm achieves transcendence in some way.
Then.
A Buddha also said gravely: "Currently, too many forces are eyeing the Lower Realm. Though my Great Leiyin Temple is formidable, seizing opportunities from such forces will not be easy."
"That’s simple."
Shakyamuni Buddha smiled calmly.
"The biggest gap between my Great Leiyin Temple and other forces is the absence of Saint Immortal Kings, but now those Saint Immortal Kings are all blocked on the Path to Immortality.
As long as I can prove Dao in the Lower Realm, all problems will naturally be resolved!"
Upon hearing this,
all the Great Leiyin Temple’s mighty ones looked shocked.
Looking at the white-robed monk before them, sitting on the lotus platform, their eyes were full of disbelief and indescribable elation.
"Is the World Honored One about to take that step!?"
"If given ten thousand years more, I can take that step."
Shakyamuni Buddha nodded slightly.
This statement brought joy to the champions of the Buddha Realm.
Ten thousand years.
To apex beings, it’s merely a fleeting moment.
Not to mention ten thousand years.
Even after billions of years, no Semi-Saint has proven their Dao to become a Saint.
As the leader of the Great Leiyin Temple and the supreme in the Buddha Realm, Shakyamuni Buddha’s cultivation has already reached the pinnacle of Semi-Saint, just half a step away from the Saint realm.
Since he can say he’ll prove Dao in ten thousand years, it surely holds no issue.
When Shakyamuni Buddha truly attains sanctification, the Great Leiyin Temple will greatly increase in power, becoming a true dominant force in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cosmos.
After all.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Cosmos is not considered strong among many cosmoses, not only for lacking Harmonization Immortal Venerables but also without a single Saint Immortal King; its strongest are merely Semi-Saints and Quasi-Immortal Kings.
If the Great Leiyin Temple can produce a Saint, then claiming the title of the Ten Thousand Buddha Cosmos’ dominant force poses no problem.
More importantly.
Once Shakyamuni Buddha can prove Dao in the Lower Realm, the Great Leiyin Temple gains the real capital to crush everything.
Whether you are an Upper Realm powerhouse or the Cyan Yang Divine Court, in front of a true Saint, you’re just an ant.
Miaoyin Bodhisattva was also excited: "If the World Honored One can truly prove Dao in the Lower Realm, then our Great Leiyin Temple will have the hope to truly seize this opportunity. By then, across all cosmoses of the Two Realms, who can rival our Great Leiyin Temple!"
Even the Harmonization Immortal Venerables would presumably be no worry.
This sentence.
Miaoyin Bodhisattva did not speak aloud.
Since beings who reach the Harmonization Immortal Venerable level have unimaginable strength, speaking carelessly might let such beings detect.
For Harmonization Immortal Venerables, even the so-called fifteenth-tier Daluo Golden Immortal is but an ant, snuffed with a mere glance.
However.
Harmonization Immortal Venerables are mighty.
But the opportunity to move the heart of a Harmonization Immortal Venerable is beyond measure.
If the Great Leiyin Temple truly gains such an opportunity, it might have a chance to surpass Harmonization Immortal Venerables in the future.
But.
A Buddha still expressed concern: "If everything goes as planned, the outcome will be best, but I’m afraid the Cyan Yang Divine Court’s presence can’t hold for ten thousand years. Should that presence fail prematurely, those beings will certainly lose their restraints.
Then, even if our Great Leiyin Temple produces a Saint, it will be difficult to truly seize the opportunity!"
This statement.
Brought the initially jubilant crowd down to calmness.
Right.
Now the biggest problem.
Is whether the Divine Emperor of the Cyan Yang Divine Court can truly block those Upper Realm powerhouses for ten thousand years.
If they can hold, then the Great Leiyin Temple hopes to reap victory.
But if not, all plans will be thwarted.
After all.
A Saint is merely a Saint.
In front of Harmonization Immortal Venerables, they always seem somewhat lacking.
At this moment.
Many of Great Leiyin Temple’s mighty ones secretly hoped Gu Qingyang could hold on a bit longer, at least for enough time for the Great Leiyin Temple.
Shakyamuni Buddha said casually: "With cosmic tribulations disrupting heavenly signs, the future is an unfathomable mist, yet this kind of future also represents change.
Whether that presence can hold for ten thousand years, or if it can buy time for the Great Leiyin Temple, all depends on whether destiny favors the Great Leiyin Temple.
The future is beyond sight, we only need to prepare according to plan.
As for the rest, we can only take it step by step!"
