Chapter 643: Chapter 378:
World Plateau.
"Namo Shakyamuni Tathagata, compassion, compassion!"
The Brahma Sound reverberates, making the world tranquil.
Over the entire World Plateau, a dense fog that even Great Divine Power Users cannot see through,
now in front of ten ancient beings from the Buddhist Sect, appears as nothing.
They, with the Sandalwood Merit Buddha and Su Qiansuan, are walking in the sky,
the vast World Plateau becomes completely visible.
"There is one thing the Sandalwood Merit Buddha got wrong."
Ah Nan Venerate sighed compassionately, speaking softly:
"Nowadays, this dynasty known as the Federation is not just divided into ten provinces. Look, just look."
He reaches out, gently taps, and the thick fog has a tendency to dissipate,
and the vast World Plateau reveals itself entirely to Su Qiansuan and his companion.
Ah Nan Venerate is as renowned as Kasyapa Venerate,
though both are venerates and arhats, in reality, they belong to the strongest under Daluo, and can even be called "pseudo-Daluo"—
besides not yet transcending time,
the other characteristics of Daluo are mostly complete.
The Sandalwood Merit Buddha is far inferior to Ah Nan Venerate.
Su Qiansuan now gazes at the vast continent, his heart trembling, with ten provincial cities in each of the four directions of the World Plateau,
and nine provincial cities in the central area, all connected to a province,
and now looking at it,
the eastern region, including the Golden Province, Qinghe Province, and others like Central, Yingtian, totaling ten provinces,
are shrouded in immense, vast Immortal Light,
on closer inspection, one can vaguely see endless palace towers floating within the Immortal Light—Celestial Court.
The Celestial Court has split the eastern ten provinces.
Yet looking at the ten provinces in the west, they are also shrouded in Brahman’s Buddha’s Light, Buddha Land floating, Buddha Country vast...
The Sandalwood Merit Buddha—or Golden Cicada, now changed in color, spoke:
"Buddha Land... When did you summon the Buddha Land? And when did these ten provincial great realms split?"
Ah Nan Venerate smiled:
"After escaping Two Realms Mountain, naturally we were not idle, this venerable led forty-nine Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to split ten provinces to form the Buddha Realm and Buddha Country."
"Regarding the Buddha Land...."
He clasped his hands together, speaking indifferently:
"The chaos of the final катастрофа, before Shakyamuni Buddha passed away, he said that Maitreya Buddha would be the new ’Now Buddha’, and I will be the new Future Buddha."
"Since I am the future, summoning Sumeru Buddha Land, isn’t it a rightful act?"
The words floated lightly, listening made Su Qiansuan beside him shiver with fear, forty-nine Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Sumeru Buddha Land, Future Buddha...
All these things are somewhat beyond his understanding.
The hundred or so true spirits that walked out of the Two Realms Mountain, nearly half came from the Buddhist Sect?
And.
Su Qiansuan swallowed, sharply catching the words of this "Ah Nan Venerate", it was "escape" out of Two Realms Mountain...
What exactly happened there?
Just as his thoughts spun a thousand times.
Ah Nan Venerate looked at Golden Cicada, speaking quietly:
"Sandalwood Merit Buddha, I know you bear resentment, resentment that Shakyamuni Buddha bound you to a bronze pillar, stripped your flesh."
Golden Cicada sneered:
"I don’t resent this, even a thousand tribulations and hardships, to me, are nothing but trivial—I resent why Shakyamuni Buddha had to drag my disciples into the abyss as well?"
"Their Merit Purple Qi, combined, doesn’t even account for one-tenth of my body, does it?"
Ah Nan Venerate remained expressionless, murmured:
"Sandalwood Merit Buddha, with resentment, the merit is broken, countless years of true fruit, are on the brink of destruction."
After a pause, he pointed to the ten provinces floating on Sumeru Buddha Land in the west and continued:
"I let you observe this Buddha scene, just to tell you, Buddha Land is already established, you should lay down the resentment in your heart."
"When we break the Celestial Stele above the Other Shore World, cut off the false Buddhas, and revert the celestial positions back, I will allow you to preside over that Other Shore World."
"I allow you to become the ’Past Majestic Buddha’."
Golden Cicada spoke coldly:
"And then?"
Ah Nan Venerate patiently said:
"Afterwards, naturally you and I shall join forces to suppress that unknown person who plans to rebuild the Celestial Court."
"Make the Buddha Land once again transform into the vast Jambudvipa, shining above, illuminating this world, and borrow the body of Yellow Eyebrow to find the divine stone sealing Maitreya Buddha, lead him to arrive and restore the ’Now’."
"As for this, our Buddhist Sect’s grand plan shall succeed."
Golden Cicada still maintained a cold expression:
"I will not aid you in opening that Other Shore World."
While speaking,
the group had reached the edge of the eastern Celestial Court, where the Other Shore World sits.
Ah Nan Venerate gazed at the Other Shore World surrounded by the vast river within, looking at the indistinct and misty Buddha’s Light spectacle within,
he calmly said:
"Sandalwood Merit Buddha, you possess Merit Purple Qi, unaffected by the Celestial Stele of the Human Emperor, and the Great Tang Human Emperor who set this celestial stele regards you as ’Imperial Disciple’."
"You can close this celestial stele... will you not act?"
While speaking,
Their arrival stirred up vast Brahma Sound Buddha’s Light, alarming the eastern ten provinces enshrouded in Immortal Light and the Other Shore World,
In the eastern ten provinces, each has beings at the level of Great Divine Power User peering out, looking seriously at this place,
And also at this moment,
within the Other Shore World, two figures slowly emerged.
Lin Changle and Hong Tianbao exchanged a glance, then simultaneously said loudly:
"Under the seat of the World Venerate, Bodhisattva Guanyin Lin Changle."
"Beside the World Venerate, Venerable Buddha Hong Tianbao."
"Dare to ask who comes, and what is your intention?"
Guanyin, Venerable Buddha...
The Buddhas and Great Bodhisattvas in the heavens instinctively turned their heads to look at those two little guys, all with a slight smile,
Golden Cicada then spoke firmly:
"I have said, I will certainly not help you open this Other Shore World!"
