Chapter 1938: Chapter 1936: Buddhist All Living Beings

Peacock Great Bright King slaughters Young Buddha!

With Young Buddha’s words "I wish," in a temple that appeared in the wasteland, Peacock Great Bright King struck with a palm while Young Buddha was meditating, instantly killing Young Buddha, reducing him to ashes!

However, as Peacock Great Bright King was lost and terrified, not knowing what to do, Young Buddha’s voice echoed, guiding the Peacock Great Bright King, and Young Buddha appeared in front of Peacock Great Bright King!

The "resurrection" of Young Buddha shocked Peacock Great Bright King beyond belief. Based on its power and cultivation realm, it was certain that Young Buddha was dead, and it couldn’t be some secret technique or illusion technique that allowed him to escape the assassination, but why was Young Buddha alive and appearing again?

As for this point, even Young Buddha himself was unclear, responding to Peacock Great Bright King with just a sentence: "I died, but I am still alive."

Unexplainable reason, inexplicable logic, indescribable strength and mystery, as if Young Buddha said, perhaps this is the highest realm of the Buddhist Sect, yet even he hasn’t fully comprehended it and can’t completely explain what this is all about!

"I clearly killed you with a palm, why did you come back alive?" Peacock Great Bright King frowning fiercely asked Young Buddha.

"I don’t know either, perhaps this is the highest realm of Buddhist Law, perhaps this is the eternal life of Buddhist Law..." Young Buddha mused and replied.

"Eternal Life?" Peacock Great Bright King muttered to himself.

"What is eternal life? What is immortality? No one in this world can say clearly, but I believe this is the eternal life of Buddhist Law, and I want to take it to the extreme!" Young Buddha suddenly said with firm conviction.

"Eternal life in Buddhist Law, to take it to the extreme..." Peacock Great Bright King said in a daze.

"Ming King, do you wish to go with me to the end of eternal life in Buddhist Law?" Young Buddha asked, eyes bright like lightning, staring at Peacock Great Bright King.

"Can I say I don’t want to? Your mental realm has already surpassed mine, and I want to see the end of eternal life in Buddhist Law too!" Peacock Great Bright King smiled and said.

Young Buddha and Peacock Great Bright King left the temple in the wasteland, and the story seemed to end like this. The events between Young Buddha and Peacock Great Bright King, besides the two involved, seemed only Ye Tianchen knew. Only in such a special state did Ye Tianchen witness such a scene, and he felt very surprised and shocked, because that state of "I died, I am still alive" can be said to be an overarching Taoism, a path that countless strong individuals pursue all their lives.

It seems that this experience in the wasteland was what truly led Peacock Great Bright King to embrace Buddhism, truly feel the power of Buddhist Law. Despite killing Young Buddha with its own hands, Young Buddha still returned alive; is this the power of Buddhist Law?

Martial Arts World, billions of beings, countless inheritances, ultimately these paths of inheritance have only one goal, which is the pursuit of eternal life, the pursuit of Immortal Domain. Buddhist Law isn’t necessarily incapable of achieving eternal life, especially after it became the longest-lasting inheritance of the Martial Arts World, it makes people believe even more that Buddhist Law can lead one to eternal life!

"Is this what is often mentioned in Buddhist Law, that Buddha is everywhere?"

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen came to his senses and thought of this point, and he was extremely surprised, even inexplicably shocked. Buddha is everywhere, existing at any time, place, which means the whole world, whole space, Buddhist Law and Buddha, are always present, never disappearing, never dying!

Pain!

When all these scenes disappeared, Ye Tianchen felt intense pain, and in the dark space, there was always a force squeezing. No matter what method Ye Tianchen used, no matter how hard he tried, it was futile, as if he was doomed to die, even when sitting cross-legged, hands clasped, chanting some scriptures, it had no effect, the dark space compressing and crushing everything.

"Am I really going to die here? Why can’t I use my power? Back then, when Young Buddha sat cross-legged here, attacked by Peacock Great Bright King, what was his mental realm?" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but think to himself.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen seemed to realize something, and he froze, involuntarily repeating to himself: "Mental realm, is escaping from this dark space alive relying on mental realm?"

Thinking of this, Ye Tianchen knew this might be his only chance. At once, he immersed his divine, clearing his mind of thoughts, as if nothing mattered anymore, gradually his mental realm returned to peace, as if nothing had happened, steadily immersing step by step.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

It’s the sound of a bell, the sound of a bell being struck by the Buddhist Sect. When Ye Tianchen’s mental realm had settled into tranquility, devoid of thoughts about life and death, the only sound resonating in his mind was that of the Buddhist Sect’s bell. This sound left him momentarily stupefied, as if he saw an old monk on a mountain top striking a bell daily until the end of his life, yet the sound of the bell still echoed every day.

"A monk strikes the bell for a day, even if the monk has passed away, the resonance endures. Has this bell developed such spirituality that it can ring of its own will?" Ye Tianchen mused inwardly.

Buzz!

When Ye Tianchen opened his eyes, he realized he had emerged alive from that dark, seemingly doomed mental realm. Looking around, he found one foot still on a cushion, while the unconscious Wuji Taoist lay beside him. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he heaved a sigh of relief and murmured to himself, "If the cultivation treasure I obtained wasn’t the Yijin Jing, I might truly have died here!"

Returning to his senses, Ye Tianchen moved to Wuji Taoist’s side and slowly infused her with a wave of Martial Arts True Power. Wuji Taoist was formidable herself and quickly regained consciousness. Seeing Ye Tianchen, she was astonished and said in surprise, "You’re still alive?"

"Just luck, it was very dangerous!" Ye Tianchen replied with a smile.

"My master said you are an anomaly in the world, it seems to be true!" Wuji Taoist remarked, staring blankly at Ye Tianchen.

"It seems you’re alright too. Let’s go; I still need to find the Barbaric Forbidden Land, and you have the Buddhist legacy to seek!" Ye Tianchen smiled as he said.

As they stepped out of the dilapidated temple, Ye Tianchen and Wuji Taoist watched as it instantly crumbled into dust, vanishing into the desert as if it had never existed. Wuji Taoist couldn’t help but murmur, "It seems nothing is immortal; everything succumbs to the erosion of time, even the place where the Buddhist Emperor once paused exists just a bit longer!" freёwebnoѵel.com

"Immortal? To me, nothing in this world is immortal, not even the Immortal Domain. The only immortal things are the human heart and the self!" Ye Tianchen suddenly declared with earnest conviction.

"I’m curious about your experiences when stepping on that cushion..." Wuji Taoist asked, looking at Ye Tianchen.

"Better not to know. Some things, once known, can be deadly!" Ye Tianchen replied with a smile.

The experiences here gave Ye Tianchen new insights into the Buddhist legacy, though some matters remained unclear to him. It seemed he lacked high enough sensitivity towards Buddhist legacy understandings, prompting him to delve deeper into the study!

"Where exactly is that Barbaric Forbidden Land? Searching aimlessly isn’t a solution!" Ye Tianchen remarked, performing Qi Manipulation Flight as he spoke to Wuji Taoist.

"I have never been to the Barbaric Forbidden Land, but I’ve heard my master mention it. There’s said to be a large barrier outside the Barbaric Forbidden Land, seemingly isolating it from everything outside. Once you see this barrier, you can glimpse inside the Barbaric Forbidden Land!" Wuji Taoist explained.

"Is there no distinctive mark? The desert to the west is vast, and searching like this is useless!" Ye Tianchen thought of Tian Boguang’s life being in jeopardy, with only days left to live. He had to return within those days, which made him anxious!

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen noticed a huge temple not far ahead, shaped like a Buddha statue. It was his first time seeing a temple in such a form, and even Wuji Taoist, who had followed her master here several times, couldn’t help but frown and say, "This... could it be the legendary Buddhist All Living Beings?"

"Buddhist All Living Beings?" Ye Tianchen asked, frowning unintentionally.

"It’s said that in this western desert, all the high monks of the Buddhist Sect have once visited, with many Buddhist legacies existing here. It is a place of reverence for the Buddhist Sect. For this reason, a disciple of Buddhism built a statue of a Buddhist monk here. When constructing this statue, Buddha said all beings are Buddha, all beings are the Young Buddha, and there’s no need to shape the statue in my likeness. Therefore, someone fashioned the statue in this form, named by later generations as Buddhist All Living Beings!" Wuji Taoist explained to Ye Tianchen in a tone of surprise. (To be continued.
