"Hmph …" While Xiao Hua was speaking, another cultivator wearing a black Daoist robe coldly snorted and said, "Daoist Master Xiao's cultivation is profound. Aside from the Grandmist Ancestor, this Daoist is half a person that I admire the most.
However, Daoist Xiao … Hehe, now that he's the Lightning Master of the Immortal Palace, I don't even admire him anymore! "
Then, the cultivator said to the Grandmist Ancestor, "Sect Master, I don't have any objections if you want to cooperate with any of our Daoism's cultivators. However, if you want to cooperate with those Daoist sects, I'll be the first to object!"
The Grandmist Ancestor frowned and scolded, "Dark Night, Daoist Xiao is our Daoism's Grand Ascension Stage Daoism. His Fortune Gate defeated the four great families. How could he be …"
"There are many people in this world who would forsake their principles for beauty!"
The cultivator called Dark Night replied bluntly, "Who knows what Daoist Xiao would do for the North Star's Ninth Princess …"
"Dark Night of the Incinerating Glass Pond?
Third on the Profound Yellow List! "
When Xiao Hua heard the Grandmist Ancestor's words, he understood the origin of this cultivator. Looking at Anye, Xiao Hua understood that the Grandmist Ancestor and the others had already discussed these words beforehand. However, when Xiao Hua looked around, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In front of the Confucian cultivators, the Buddhist Sect, and the Demon Race, the most unpromising Dao Sect, and the Sky Bearing Palace, which had just been established, actually dared to boast shamelessly.
"Amitabha …" At this moment, the Dipankara Archaic Buddha spoke with a bitter expression on his face, "Amitabha … Amitabha, you have been cultivating peacefully in the Pure Land World's Incineration Glass Pond for so many years. Our Buddhism Sect has never disturbed you. Isn't it good for you to cultivate in peace?
Why … "
"Dipankara …" Dark Night said coldly, "I have been cultivating in the Incinerating Glass Pond for so many years. Indeed, I've been doing much better than those Daoism cultivators in the Hidden Immortal Continent.
However, I can't say that I've been peacefully!
From time to time, the Heavenly Guardian of the Thunder Sound Temple would come to check on I to see if I was' quiet '. Whenever I was not at the Burning Glass Pond, he would immediately warn me to cultivate in the Burning Glass Pond' quietly '.
Even if the Guardian Heavenly King of the Thunder Sound Temple did not come, the monks from the nearby temples would still come to visit. Whether it was spiritual wine or spiritual pills, I would have to serve them well!
I was a Daoist cultivator of the eighth grade of essence force. Even when facing a monk who had formed his Nascent Soul, I still had to put on a smiling face!
How can I cultivate in peace?? "
"Amitabha! Excellent, excellent!"
The Dipankara Archaic Buddha World Lord chanted Buddha's name. He looked at the River Tide Temple and saw Chunzheng holding his monk's staff. He steadied himself and stepped into the temple, saying, "I hope the Buddhist light of the Sutra Praying Nirvana can illuminate benefactor's heart and let benefactor see the true compassion of my Buddhism towards the world."
"I have no interest in Buddhism's compassion!" Dark Night snorted and said, "My Sect Master is the true prodigy who is well-versed in both the past and the present!
Not to mention that no Daoist cultivator can compare to him, even among Confucian cultivators, it would be hard to find a match for him!
Therefore, I feel that … my Sect Master is the best candidate to lead all Daoism under the heavens!
Only his great talent and bold vision could truly bring the Daoist Sect to glory.
Not those who are secretly colluding with Confucian cultivators! "
In the end, Dark Night's words were all directed at Xiao Hua. Hearing this, Xiao Hua sneered, anger rising in his chest.
However, today was the day of Chunzheng's accomplishment. Xiao Hua couldn't disturb him casually. Moreover, in front of the Immortal Palace, Buddhism, and Great Sage Hall, how could Xiao Hua let them laugh at Daoism's internal strife?
Looking at the Grandmist Ancestor's smiling face, Xiao Hua didn't understand what he meant.
After all, they hadn't talked about cooperation yet. There wasn't a need to be so hostile, right?
However, all of a sudden, Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat as if he had thought of something. He sighed inwardly, "Sigh, this Grandmist Ancestor is too scheming. In order to make this Xiao not suspect the Xiao Empire, he's actually bluffing here, making this Xiao Hua worry that he'll force me to focus my attention here while he secretly makes a move there. How could he know that this Xiao Hua has long known that Prince Lan …"
"Ignorant child ~" Immortal Emperor Gou Chen didn't mind the small matter and said coldly, "What do you know!
How can someone who can be called Thunder Master by my Immortal Palace be an ordinary cultivator?
That Grandmist brat is only a clown suppressed in the Yin Yang Illustrated Handbook. How can he be compared to Thunder Master Xiao? "
"Amitabha …" The Dipankara Archaic Buddha World Lord said, "Grandmist Ancestor, are you here to observe the Longevity Town's ceremony?
If so, my Thunder Sound Temple welcomes you. If not, my Thunder Sound Temple doesn't welcome you, please leave … "
"No!" The Grandmist Ancestor smiled, "I'm not here to observe the Longevity Town's ceremony!"
"Then please leave!" The Dipankara Archaic Buddha World Lord said calmly, "Otherwise, I won't hold back anymore!"
"I'm here to observe the Hidden Immortal Continent's first Golden Body Buddha Statue's consecration!" The Grandmist Ancestor wasn't nervous at all. Instead, he replied word by word.
In an instant, the joyous atmosphere became tense. No matter if it was the Dipankara Archaic Buddha World Lord or the Immortal Emperor Gou Chen, both of them had an awkward expression on their faces!
Although the Sutra Seeking of Nirvana was a joint venture between the Immortal Palace and the Thunder Sound Temple, Chunzang could preach and preach in the Hidden Immortal Continent, and Zhenhan could preach and preach Confucianism in the Pure Paradise World. Today's Sutra Seeking of Nirvana was a joint event between the Immortal Palace and the Thunder Sound Temple. However, the biggest winner of the Sutra Seeking of Nirvana was the Thunder Sound Temple. After the Sutra Seeking of Nirvana was completed, the Hidden Immortal Continent's first Golden Body Buddha Statue could be consecrated and receive the worship of thousands of kind-hearted men and women. The Thunder Sound Temple could also preach Mahayana Buddhist Scriptures in the Hidden Immortal Continent.
If the Dipankara Archaic Buddha World Lord didn't mention this matter, the Immortal Emperor Gou Chen wouldn't mention it as well. If the Grandmist Ancestor didn't mention it, everyone would just consecrate the Nanwu Great Merciful Buddha World Sound Bodhisattva's Golden Body without a single word.
Now that the Grandmist Ancestor had spoken, he had exposed the scar that no one wanted to talk about. Moreover, he had even sowed discord between the seemingly harmonious Confucianism and Buddhism.
Fortunately, at this moment, chants of "Namo Maitreya Buddha …" "Namo Amitabha Buddha …" "Namo Dipankara Archaic Buddha …" Amidst the chants of Buddhist mantras, heavenly flowers sprinkled down from the night sky, and countless heavenly maidens flew out gracefully amidst the starlight. Rings of dazzling Buddhist radiances resembled the rising sun, sprinkling all around the Longevity Town.
This phenomenon instantly attracted everyone's attention!
Chun Zang stepped into the River Tide Temple, and lotuses bloomed with every step he took. When he entered the Great Strength Hall and arrived before the Buddhist shrine, the radiance reached its peak, and the entire Great Strength Hall disappeared. It was as if the entire sky was filled with Buddhist radiances and lotuses. All of the Buddhist radiances and lotuses condensed into a Buddha's Golden Body. Pious and kind faces of men and women were revealed within the Buddhist radiances, and everyone was chanting "Amitabha Buddha".
Chun Zang's expression was unusually calm, and he didn't show any signs of agitation. His eyes were filled with Sanskrit words. Strangely, although his gaze landed on the Buddhist shrine, it seemed like he was looking at the Buddha's Golden Body.
In such a strange situation, the unruly Zhen Kong and the unruly Zhen Jie were also very careful. They didn't dare to step into the Great Strength Hall, and only stood outside the hall, carefully watching.
Chun Zang respectfully walked to the front of the Buddhist shrine, and carefully took out the Buddhist decree from his chest. He gently flicked the old yellow decree that didn't have any dust on it, and then knelt in front of the Buddhist shrine. He kowtowed nine times and chanted, "Amitabha Buddha, disciple Chun Zang was fortunate enough to not disappoint you. After three hundred years, disciple returned and brought the Thunder Temple's Mahayana Sanzang to the Hidden Immortal Continent. Today, disciple will present the Buddhist decree to Buddha!"
Chun Zang respectfully presented the Buddhist decree, but before it could be sent into the shrine, "Boom …" Another blazing sun appeared between the eyebrows of the previous Buddha statue. The Buddhist light from the blazing sun fell on the Buddhist decree, and the Buddhist decree turned into millions of small worlds. These small worlds were like a tide, and they hovered above Chun Zang, Zhen Kong, Zhen Jie, Zhen Feng, and Zhen Han. A vast voice filled with mercy sounded in everyone's ears, "Chun Zang has completed the Sutra of Bliss, and has benefited the good people of the Hidden Immortal Continent. He is bestowed with millions of merits, and has become the Xuanji Meritorious Buddha!"
As the voice fell, more than half of the small worlds flowed towards Chun Zang like a river. "Whoosh …" With a soft sound, a ray of light appeared behind Chun Zang's head, and the Buddhist light swept the small worlds into it. In an instant, the Buddhist light shone brightly again, and the Sanskrit chants sounded again …
"Although Zhen Kong is a demon, he wholeheartedly protected Chun Zang's Sutra of Bliss, and along the way, he eliminated demons and subdued demons, and has made great contributions. He is bestowed with millions of merits, and has become the Vanquishing Demon Buddha!"
Similarly, the Buddhist light swept the remaining half of the small worlds into the back of Zhen Kong's head, and the same ray of light appeared, and the Sanskrit chants sounded again.
"Oh …" Seeing this, Xiao Hua was overjoyed, and he almost clapped his hands and praised in his heart, "The Mahavairocana Revered Buddha is fair. Yuan Tongtian was the first to escort Jiang Liuer, and he contributed the most along the way. In my opinion, the Mahavairocana Revered Buddha gave him the title of Arhat, but who would have thought that he would actually give him a Buddhist position!
How rare!! "
Immediately after, the Buddhist decree came again, and Zhen Jie became the Heaven Vigilant Arhat Buddha Fruit; Zhen Han became the Benevolent Vajra Buddha Fruit; even the laziest Dragon Horse Zhen Feng became the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon Buddha Fruit.
Naturally, Zhen Feng, who became the Eight Division Heavenly Dragon, also shed his Dragon Horse skin and appeared as a True Dragon!
Regarding this result, Zhen Jie didn't have any objections. Although he was the strongest, he came late, and Zhen Kong had already protected Chun Zang for most of the journey.
Thus, after Chun Zang and the others received the Buddhist decree, they all knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This disciple thanks the Buddhist Lord for his mercy."
