Free Web NovelChapter 2117: Chapter 2122: Black Lotus Demon Buddha
"Continue speaking."
Xia Liu was very eager to know the status of the White Lotus Holy Aura within the Great Brahma Gate.
After all, he had a burgeoning form of the White Lotus Holy Aura within him!
"It is said that during the Ancient Era, before the formation of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, when all things lacked order, a white lotus suddenly bloomed in the Pond of the Eastern Heaven."
"The white lotus absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, and on a stormy night, it suddenly transformed into a human form, exuding the White Lotus Holy Aura all over its body."
"It is rumored that wherever the white lotus traversed, the world began to take shape, forming the rules of the Heavenly Dao."
...
Xue Wuying recounted all he knew about the legend of the white lotus.
He had never been so happy before.
After all, very few people believed it.
And on Xia Liu’s face was a serious expression.
It was obvious at a glance; he was a very respectful listener.
"Later, the saint transformed from this white lotus was called the White Lotus Immortal Saint by people."
"White Lotus Immortal Saint!"
This legend again.
Xia Liu was completely engaged.
He desperately wanted to transform the White Lotus Holy Aura within his body into White Lotus Holy Power.
He had a premonition that this would surpass the current Power of Righteous Law.
Furthermore, in the future, this power would offer him unimaginable benefits.
"Indeed, the birth and status of the White Lotus Immortal Saint far surpassed the Heavenly Emperor and the Venerable Buddha."
The Heavenly Emperor, a deity of the Daoist Sect, governed the thirty-three heavens, surpassing the six paths of reincarnation, possessing an indestructible physique.
The Venerable Buddha, ruling over the Western Pure Land, did not concern himself with the affairs of the Three Realms but had a heart for them.
If there was injustice in the Mortal World that exceeded the control of the Heavenly Emperor,
the Venerable Buddha would not sit idly by.
The powerful figures of the Western Heaven would not stand by with folded arms either.
"However, these are all mythological stories from the Cultivation Realm; no one can truly ascertain them, so it was more like a belief at the time."
"Indeed, such stories that transcend gods and ghosts are somewhat exaggerated."
Xia Liu nodded, stories like these were similar to the myths of the Huaxia Realm.
Sun Wukong protecting Monk Tang during the journey to the Western Heaven.
The Heavenly Realm, the Underworld, Dragon Palace, and other scenarios involving gods and ghosts occurred.
That’s almost impossible.
The Journey to the West began being compiled during the Tang Dynasty.
At the end of the day, it was merely the author’s fantasy, his daydream at the time.
Just like the White Lotus Immortal Saint of the Cultivation Realm, isn’t it also the fantasy of many people?
"Yes, I believe there are no gods within the realm. Even if there are, they are just cultivators with vast divine skills pretending to be gods."
"Well said, but does Buddhist Friend Xue know if there have been cultivators within the realm possessing White Lotus Holy Aura?"
This was the question Xia Liu most wanted to know.
If there never was one.
Perhaps even the Great Brahma Gate may not fully understand the White Lotus Holy Aura.
"There is! It is rumored that ten thousand years ago, a cultivator with White Lotus Holy Aura appeared in the Great Brahma Gate."
"Oh? What happened later? What accomplishments did this cultivator have?"
"I only heard about it; it’s unclear if the outcome is true."
Hearing this, Xia Liu suddenly felt a sense of unease.
"Buddhism Friend, speak freely."
"According to legend, the bearer of the White Lotus Holy Aura ten thousand years ago succumbed to evil within the Creation Gate, and the White Lotus Holy Aura was transformed into Black Lotus!"
"Black Lotus?"
"Black and white, like good and evil, at the time, the leaders of the Great Brahma Gate did not notice this matter."
"And the result?"
"The result was that after leaving the Creation Gate, that person battled thirty Nascent Soul Late Stage Buddhism Practitioners, eventually breaking the Great Brahma Gate’s barrier and escaping."
"This..."
How could this be? Xia Liu could not imagine it.
Fighting thirty Nascent Soul Late Stage practitioners!
This would at least require cultivation at the Divinity Transformation Stage!
With the Black Lotus Holy Power, this person’s strength would be terrifying compared to a regular Spirit Transformation Early Stage.
"Later, a cultivator encountered a Black Lotus Buddhism Practitioner at the borders of the Cultivation Realm, and by this time, he had become a force within the Demon Clan, calling himself the Black Lotus Demon Buddha!"
"Black Lotus Demon Buddha!"
A somewhat terrifying title.
Just hearing the name is enough to make one tremble with unease.
"As for other things, I am not clear. Anyway, there are many speculations that the person couldn’t control the White Lotus Holy Aura, was consumed by a heart demon within the Creation Gate, his divine sense long dead, later transforming into Black Lotus Holy Power and joining the Demon Clan, becoming a generation’s Demon Buddha Venerable."
"I understand."
Xia Liu nodded.
That was something from ten thousand years ago.
It could be of concern or not.
Now Xia Liu wanted to know what requirements were needed to enter the Creation Gate.
"Apart from being recognized by the Sect Master and Master Sumeru Saint, and possessing Prajna Holy Energy, are there any other stringent requirements?"
"Almost none, the main thing is being recognized by the Sect Master and Master Sumeru Saint. Even without holy energy in one’s body, one can enter to seek opportunities."
Xue Wuying continued.
"But don’t underestimate it. In today’s world, the number of geniuses recognized by the Great Brahma Gate Sect Master and Master Sumeru Saint does not exceed five."
"I think the last genius recognized by Master Sumeru Saint was Ye Buluo from the Ye Family. This person formed a Nascent Soul at a hundred years old, and now, after just over two hundred years, has reached Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation. Truly a prodigy among monsters!"
Xue Wuying didn’t want Xia Liu to have any false hopes.
So he brought up a strong figure from the Ye Family for comparison.
"Ye Family!"
Upon hearing this family name, Xia Liu’s heart started to race.
If he guessed correctly, that should be Ye Qingqing’s family.
One of the supreme cultivation families in the Southern Realm!
"Let’s not talk about those, let’s focus on the present."
Xue Wuying was worried he might cause harm to Xia Liu.
So he quickly stopped this topic.
"Right, there’s something else I don’t understand, as a disciple of the Precept Spirit Sect like me, may I roam freely within the Great Brahma Holy Realm?"
"Yes, but you need to be cautious and quick-witted to avoid any issues."
Xue Wuying gave a bitter smile.
Hadn’t he thought himself quick-witted before?
But he was still caught by Xia Liu.
If this matter reached the Combat Saint Sect, he might be expelled from this realm.
Luckily, Xia Liu’s character was reliable.
"Thank you, Buddhism Friend, for the information!"
After getting the answer, Xia Liu had an initial plan.
Leaving here was a must! But he needed to gather more information.
He couldn’t make a single wrong move!
"Buddhism Friend, under what circumstances does the Creation Gate open?"
"The Creation Gate opens once a year, allowing outstanding disciples to go inside for opportunities. If a Saint Heir appears, it can even open instantly."
"Without a Saint Heir, the sect will set up an examination. Anyone who’s cultivated holy energy and is confident may go for the challenge."
Xue Wuying had long been eager for this examination.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t cultivated holy energy yet, so all he could do was weep.
"Does Buddhist Friend Xue have a map of the Great Brahma Holy Realm? I’m willing to pay a high price for it."
Maps are crucial in such a supreme barrier domain.
One must avoid stepping into restricted areas, or else they’d be expelled from the Great Brahma Holy Realm at any moment.
"I do! Forget the high price; treat it as the payment for the medical fees I owe you..."
PS: Today’s updates have ended. The prelude regarding the Great Brahma Gate has nearly concluded, and things are about to get exciting.
