Chapter 322: The Narrow Road and the World

Mysterious day.

“It is clearly the fate of the Heavenly Demon to cause chaos in the world, to go against the Buddha and steal the fruit, and to bring disaster to the common people…”

“But why did it suddenly become a sign of destiny that the Holy King would appear in the world and dominate the world?”

“Who in the universe today can be called a Saint King?”

In the mysterious sky, on the highest mountain that towers into the boundless sea of ​​stars, a middle-aged man in linen clothes looked at the stone tablet in front of him with a serious expression and a frown.

“This Yanhuang Federation is really just as Senior Brother recorded, a place where the mysteries of nature are in disorder, and anything is possible… Anomaly, could this be an anomaly?”

He stared at the mysterious main monument in front of him for a long time, but no answer came out.

Not long after, an old man climbed to the top of the mountain and bowed, saying, “God, the true saint of all realms, please reveal the secrets of heaven.”

The Mysterious Heavenly Lord asked, “Does the Heavenly Mystery Realm give out Heavenly Mystery Fate?”

“It’s said that the situation is chaotic, but it’s still under the control of the Federation. It hasn’t reached the point where it threatens the universe. This is not the best time to try to enter. We can also use this opportunity to test the remaining foundation of the Federation.”

The Mysterious Heavenly Lord shook his head slightly: “Each generation in the Heavenly Mystery Realm is getting worse than the previous one.”

The old man looked up and asked, “Did God see anything?”

The Mysterious Heavenly Lord was silent for a moment, his mind fluctuating, and he slowly said: “In this case, you should report according to the destiny of the Heavenly Mystery Realm, with slight deletions and modifications.”

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, “If the Lord of Heaven has seen something, why not tell the True Saints and not let the Heavenly Mystery Realm be the only one in the limelight?”

With a sigh, the Mysterious Lord said, “I have heard of your great name, Yanhuang Yishu for a long time. In the past, my senior brothers have never been able to ‘defy’ the fate of karma, so why should you and I be tainted by it just for a false name?”

He waved his hand: “Just report it like this.”

“understood.”

……

……

Before his death, Senior Brother Mu had already reached the level of a supreme grandmaster. Not only had his mind realized the state of meditation and forgetfulness, but his realm had also reached the level of Heavenly King perfection.

Therefore, the Supreme True Buddha, which was forged with his soul core, was at the sixth realm level at the beginning. With the convergence of many powers of faith and aspiration, at its most prosperous time, the Supreme True Buddha’s status was the peak of the seventh realm, equivalent to the perfection of the Heavenly King, and infinitely close to the eighth realm.

But the day he entered the Eight Realms was the moment when the Supreme Buddha completely fell into the hands of the evil god, because Brother Mu’s spiritual core could not hold on.
Ji Jingqiu cut out his retribution body, inherited the cause and effect, succeeded to the throne of God, and ascended to heaven in one step. Although he could not be compared with his peak, his strength level was only equivalent to the level of a beginner Heavenly King Grandmaster, but he had great ambitions and was in line with the will of Heaven, so he was qualified to make further progress in the future.

As long as you put your ambition into practice, you can make progress step by step.

According to Brother Mu’s opinion, there are mainly two things that his reward body needs to do now. One is to compete with Wu Zhou for the Taoist tradition established by Him as a Buddha, and the other is to practice his great aspiration and cultivate his reward body.

These two things complement each other and can help his body grow quickly to prepare for major changes that may take as short as a year or as long as two years.

The turmoil facing the Federation will be no later than the major turmoil in five years.

Moreover, even if great turmoil comes in the future and the rules of the universe change, he can rely on this body and have the power to protect himself.

“Is this the path to becoming a god that you mentioned before? Did you predict it long ago?” Ji Jingqiu asked.

Hila was silent for a moment, then said firmly:

“That’s right!”

Although it was different from what she imagined, the result was the same after rounding off!

In her original plan, after Ji Jingqiu was promoted to a celestial being and the Bodhi tree was transformed, coupled with the Supreme True Buddha Sect’s control over the True Buddha, they should be able to completely suppress the True Buddha, and then fully absorb the power of faith and aspiration to refine their own divinity and forge the throne of God.

But she underestimated Mu Heshan. It can only be said that he is worthy of being Mu Shitian’s biological son and inherited the latter’s “cruelness”.

He actually used himself as a trap to help Ji Jingqiu cut off the source of the problem, and in one fell swoop, he killed a seventh-level reward body and inherited the status of the Supreme True Buddha.

It’s really a step to heaven!
“Before, I asked you to use your five internal organs as temples because I wanted you to embark on the path of self-deification. But now that you have cut out a rebirth body, some details need to be changed. I will give you a reply in a few days.” Hela said calmly.

This guy has risen to fame overnight. Bai Lan alone is not enough. It is hard to find pure and kind people these days…

Hela’s thoughts turned into a turbulent one, searching for a feasible plan.

Mu Shitian’s son could help Ji Jingqiu achieve the seventh level of retribution, so how could she fall behind…

Suddenly.

She thought of the boy “Gavin” who she had ignored for a long time, the former self of the Lord of All Things.

The Kingdom of All Things…

Hela fell into deep thought.

“Okay.” Ji Jingqiu agreed, and calmed down to comprehend the complete state of the King of Heaven at that moment.

He thought that he had underestimated the gap between the king of heaven and the celestial being.

On the East 3 Huang Star, he felt that he could, with the blessing of the planet’s destiny and the characteristics of the two heavenly kings, fight a few moves with the kings, but now it seems that it was still “reckless”.

But soon, Ji Jingqiu found the blind spot——

How can his king of heaven be compared with other kings of heaven?

Even though this is only a reward body, it inherits the status of the Supreme Buddha.

Ji Jingqiu was familiar with the magical powers that his reward body inherited from the True Buddha, as well as his own powers.

The more core ones are the three magical powers, one is [eternal bliss, self-purity], the other two are [the world of Bosahā] and [the pure land in the palm of your hand].

The former is a magical power that the federal officials have coveted for many years.

Those who are protected by [Eternal Joy, Self-Purity] can freely cross the ocean of the mind. As long as they do not touch the abyss and the wilderness, there will be no danger of getting lost. Even if they encounter a crisis in the ocean of the mind, they can use this to save their lives.

This is also the main reliance of the Supreme True Buddha Sect in developing believers in various realms and competing for incense.

The [Possa World] and the [Pure Land in the Palm] are the fundamental locations of the Supreme True Buddha, similar to Ji Jingqiu’s [The Beginning of One Yuan].

The reason why the two are put together is because the Supreme Buddha used these two magical powers as a base to build his own supreme Buddhist kingdom.

Different from martial arts, the system of gods is not called the inner world or the dojo, but the kingdom of gods.

The kingdom of the Supreme Buddha is also called the Buddha Kingdom or the Pure Land.

Before Ji Jingqiu, it had always been called the Supreme Buddhist Kingdom, but its full name should be [Central Lapis Lazuli Posa World].

According to the Buddha’s lineage, the three thousand Jambuvipas all belong to the Vaiśa world.

Colored glaze means the ground is paved with colored glaze. All karmas of sentient beings are eliminated, and they are free from all desires. Their bodies become like colored glaze, blazing with light, and clear inside and out.

Just from this pure land, we can see the “ambition” of the Supreme Buddha in the past.

“[Posha World] is a Pure Land world, but it is not the Inner Heaven and Earth or the Heaven and Earth Daochang, but the ‘Dharma Realm’.” Hila corrected, “The Heavenly King Dharma Realm is the sublimation of the Heaven and Earth Daochang. By opening up the illusory avenue and melting the Inner Heaven and Earth and the Daochang, you can open up the Heavenly King Dharma Realm.”

“Is this the Heavenly King’s Dharma Realm?” Ji Jingqiu’s eyes lit up. No wonder the Heaven and Earth Dharma Field in his perception was far superior to his. He thought it was just because of his realm.

Lajiang mentioned before that if he could swallow up the all-encompassing kingdom of God, even just a small part of it, he would have the hope of upgrading this Bodhi Pure Land to the [One True Dharma Realm] in the realm of heaven and man.

What is the One True Dharma Realm?
——One is without duality, truth is without delusion. From the beginning, it is neither born nor destroyed, neither empty nor existent, beyond name and form, without inside or outside, only the One Reality.

Hela continued to give her opinion:
“For the strong, the name of honor is very important. Wu Zhou named himself ‘Shi Zun’, which is a provocation to your lineage of the World Honored One. If you want to compete with Wu Zhou for incense, I suggest you try it in Jambu Continent first, gain a firm foothold, get familiar with this retribution body, and change your name to ‘World Honored One’.”

Ji Jingqiu nodded. Several gods in the past had said that he would be the lord of Yamabuli. He wondered if they had anticipated this day.

Moreover, now that he has become a celestial being, he has to travel through the Nine Continents and then visit the ancient will.

It would be a waste to keep the many incomplete planes of the world remaining in the Ancient Royal Road of Heaven. It would be better to let him “eat” them to fill the inner world and speed up the passage through the three disasters.

Taoist Wu Tian has Tiansheng Lake as his financial backer, and his reward body is not short of resources now. The only thing is that his original body has a deep foundation in Taoism, which also means that his “stomach” is bigger and he can eat more.

As for going to the Buddhist land to compete for incense, now is indeed the best time.

Today, the Buddhist Town has been broken up by the various forces of Jiuzhou. All the families in Jiuzhou are busy returning to the universe and have no intention of internal fighting. He just says hello to Jiugong and takes over the remaining forces of the Buddhist Town. What can Wu Zhou use to compete with him?

I just don’t know whether Wu Zhou has an incarnation similar to the one he has today in Jiuzhou.

Most likely not. The strongest people in Jiuzhou are not vegetarians. Including the Lord of All Things, there are three True Saint-level strongmen in Jiuzhou.

Especially the Lord of All Things himself, who took the initiative to come to the door when Wu Zhou’s real body first descended. If Wu Zhou appeared in Jiuzhou, he would never sit idly by.

Think of this.

Ji Jingqiu glanced at the two Wu Zhous, and as his mind moved, the expression of the newly-initiated Wu Zhou changed. He walked out of the Pure Land uncontrollably and was suppressed at the foot of the Wuwang Mountain not far away. He was washed by the blood rain and let out a shrill wail.

Billowing black smoke emerged from the blood rain, and countless faces like vengeful spirits emerged from my body, which was shocking and extremely creepy.

Xiao Wuzhou in the corner was horrified by what he saw.

Fortunately, he adhered to the principle of “every Wu Zhou is free” and refused to merge with this guy!
This Ji Jingqiu is indeed the successor of the Buddha. He is cruel and ruthless. He is cruel to himself and even crueler to others!
Ji Jingqiu observed it and found that although the screams were a bit miserable and scary, the speed of wear and tear was actually not very fast.

“Please help watch him. When he is almost dead, bring him back in.” Ji Jingqiu said to Hela.

He suddenly remembered that Hela was obviously not as afraid of the blood rain as Wu Zhou. Before, Bai Lan had taken the initiative to walk into it.

“Okay.” Hela responded with a smile and glanced at Xiao Wuzhou who was hiding in the corner. The latter trembled.

“Jiuzhou…” Ji Jingqiu was looking forward to it.

A few years ago, he entered Jiuzhou as a true seed, but he didn’t expect that only a few years later, he would enter the Imperial Heaven with his twin bodies, one as a “real Buddha in the world” and the other as the most powerful celestial being. No, the former should be called “World Honored One” and the latter should be called “Lord of the Imperial Heaven”.

Afterwards, Ji Jingqiu’s spiritual holy fetus entered his retribution body, standing above the Dharma Realm, overlooking the heaven, earth and universe with the perspective of a complete Heavenly King Grandmaster.

With a thought, he arrived at the deep, dark and boundless starry sky.

In his perception, the boundless galaxy seemed to have shrunk a billion times, and he could reach wherever his mind reached in a single thought.

He used his clone as coordinates and found the location of the third ascension platform. Just as he was about to head there, an unprecedented sense of oppression came from all directions, as if the weight of the entire starry sky was pressing down on him!

Ji Jingqiu looked serious, and suddenly found it difficult to take a step, as if the boundless starry sky was shrinking billions of times, infinitely “shrinking”.

His current situation is like that of an adult who has entered a children’s slide and is stuck in the middle, unable to move.

Or an adult is stuffed into a box and has difficulty lifting his hands.

“This is the limitation of the world,” Hela said slowly. “The higher one’s position, the less ‘free’ one is. One feels that the path is narrow and the world is confined. That is why the saints strive to transcend. Only by transcending a realm can they obtain true freedom and ease.”

Ji Jingqiu sighed. This feeling was indeed uncomfortable. If he had claustrophobia, he would have collapsed.

“You have been treated preferentially.” Hela said, “After all, you have great aspirations, are in line with the will of heaven, and are a god. Otherwise, any other Heavenly King Grandmaster would have been expelled from the universe or forcibly demoted.”

Ji Jingqiu nodded. The universe did give preferential treatment to the god system, because the gods who gathered the wishes of all living beings could help the universe suppress the spiritual ocean.

“I feel like there’s an opportunity to take action.” Ji Jingqiu carefully felt the current situation, his eyes showing strange colors.

This retribution body of his has surpassed the threshold of Heavenly King. He originally thought that he would not have the opportunity to make a move, but now he feels a kind of… freedom?
“Is it because of his great ambition?” Ji Jingqiu speculated.

If he really has a chance to take action in the universe right now, it would be worth planning carefully.

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu couldn’t help feeling a little regretful.

His original form had always been too powerful, so much so that all the forces in the world, even the disciples of the True Saint Dojo, chose to avoid him.

There isn’t a single “valuable” warrior from any realm within the Federation.

If you want to maximize your benefits right now, there are only three options.

One is the believers of the Four Gods on the federal border, many of whom are perfect celestial beings.

The second is the divine ban that falls on certain places in the universe.

The third is the third ascension platform. The Saint King asked him to go to the Chaos Abyss Sea to quell the rebellion. He now suspects that there are also four demon clones lurking in the Chaos Abyss Sea.

After this battle, he fully realized how difficult the four demons were.

As a dignified Saint King, how could he not see his potential and background? And yet he still made a ten-year agreement with him? It is hard to say whether there is something like the incarnation of the Heavenly Demon hidden in the Chaos Sea.

Soon, before Ji Jingqiu took the initiative to contact, he received a familiar and huge mental fluctuation.

“Are you Mu Heshan, or… Ji Jingqiu?”

That thought swept across the federation and landed in Ji Jingqiu’s heart.

An old acquaintance, the God of Guards!
Ji Jingqiu felt very cordial.

After hearing Ji Jingqiu’s explanation, the Guardian God hummed and said calmly:
“Mu Heshan is lucky to have met you before being completely devoured by the demon. Your current manifestation is constantly rejected by the universe. I will teach you a secret method that will lower your cultivation level so that you can walk more freely without having difficulty walking. You can unseal it at any time when necessary.”

After receiving the secret method from the God of Supervising Soldiers, the aura of this retribution body began to decline, and it fell all the way to the level of celestial perfection and even the great celestial realm, before it got better, and the gaze that was watching him in the dark disappeared.

“Four Gods believers at the Federation border?”

The Guardian God shook his head.

“If you eliminate them all, who will sharpen Yin Tianping and others?”

“If we really need to wipe out that gang, Meng Pingxue will do it.”

“Besides, some people don’t want to see the Federation live too peacefully.”

Meng Pingxue… Ji Jingqiu thought, is it the little ancestor raised by Grandmaster Meng Pingchuan, Snow Ancestor?

Ji Jingqiu was immediately relieved.

With this giant void beast who is not a master but is better than a master in charge, the Federation is indeed worry-free for the time being.

As for the last sentence…

“God, do you mean that even without the Four Demons followers, there will still be ‘people’ who will cause trouble for the Federation?”

“Yes, I have contacted the Lord God and reported the truth. The Lord God told you not to worry about matters within the Federation.”

Ji Jingqiu nodded gently: “Junior understands.”

Since he is not needed to take action within the Federation, the ones who will be unlucky are either Chaos Abyss Sea or the people of various forces on other ascension platforms, such as those in the Divine Forbidden Zone.

Is the latter an overkill?
To deal with a few divine bans, there is no need to use your body to take action.

The best target is the Chaos Abyss Sea.

At that time, he will use the clone as bait and return to his body to fish.

Ji Jingqiu temporarily suppressed his eagerness to try, bid farewell to the God of Guardians, and returned to the Pure Land world.

After experiencing the “oppression” of the universe, this retribution body stabilized its status and truly stood on the steps of the seventh realm.

Ji Jingqiu looked behind him. The Bodhi tree was rooted in the Buddha’s land, absorbing a huge amount of faith, vows and miscellaneous thoughts, and was growing upward at a slow but steady pace.

It has already exceeded a thousand meters in height, and ten thousand meters is just a distance of time.

“With three bodies for one person, it feels like the amount of things that can be done has tripled.” Ji Jingqiu said to himself.

After everything was settled, Ji Jingqiu met Huang Fuxing and Mu Chengde again.

The two of them had witnessed half of the scene before. When the whole world turned into a devil’s land and Mu Heshan took action, he sent the two of them out of the Buddhist country.

After learning about the subsequent developments from Ji Jingqiu, Mu Chengde sighed quietly. He was not a member of the Mu family, but he had great admiration for Senior Mu Heshan.

At this moment, when I learned about Senior Mu’s heroic deeds, I felt a sense of emotion and admiration, but also a hint of loss.

From then on, Muhe Mountain was no longer seen in the world.

Huang Fuxing was also a little bit bewildered. The fact that Ji Jingqiu succeeded the True Buddha and became the Supreme True Buddha was also beyond his understanding.

He once thought that if Ji Jingqiu could step into the realm of heaven, he would be able to help the Supreme Buddha Sect to cleanse its chronic illness and get rid of its old diseases. Unexpectedly, Ji Jingqiu achieved this in a different way.

From then on, the one that the Supreme True Buddha Sect worshipped was this person!
“You two, I need help from the Supreme Buddha Sect with something.”

Ji Jingqiu spoke.

If he wants to change his honorific name and compete with Wu Zhou for the orthodox tradition, the help of the Supreme True Buddha Sect is indispensable.

Over the years, it has been the Supreme True Buddha Sect that has been helping to handle and develop believers from all realms.

After hearing Ji Jingqiu’s request, Mu Chengde’s eyes sparkled and he said excitedly: “The World Honored One has appeared in the world. This is a top priority. I will contact the Mu family and both sides will work together to promote this matter!”

……

Buddha’s hometown.

Today, countless Buddhist people who believe in “Sakyamuni” have all felt the presence of another “true Buddha” and listened to the voice of the true Buddha’s coming to the world. This made them extremely excited but also at a loss.

It is said in the scriptures that every Buddha is born due to a major cause and will never appear in the world for no reason.

Why did this true Buddha come to the world?
“Blessing from the True Buddha! The True Buddha must have sensed that we were being surrounded and hunted down by the forces of the Nine Continents, so he came to the world just to protect us!”

“How could we be innocent in the encirclement? It was those people in the upper echelons who misunderstood the Buddha’s words and led to the invasion of the three thousand Jambuvipas, which caused the Buddha’s hometown to suffer such a disaster! They should fall into the boundless hell and suffer forever!!”

In a secret gathering place, the Buddhist believers gathered there, some were excited, some were sad, and some were talking with gnashing teeth.

They discussed the recent casualties, as well as the stupidity and arrogance of the top leaders, which had caused the Buddhist land, which once had the potential to unify Jambu Continent, to be besieged by all parties in the Nine Continents and fallen to this point!

“…It’s out! The true Buddha has appeared!”

Suddenly someone broke into the parliament and shouted excitedly,
“That true Buddha is called ‘World Honored One’!”

The crowd was in an uproar at first, and then fell silent for a moment, with confusion on their faces.

“Buddha? Isn’t this our only original Buddha?”

“No, it’s not ‘Saṃsāra’, but the Tathagata of the Saṃsāra World—”

The visitor explained solemnly:

“It contains the six meanings of freedom, brilliance, dignity, name, honor, and auspiciousness. It is also called virtuous and famous. It is the most honorable saint in the world, and also the Holy King!”

The venue became increasingly noisy, with more and more people claiming that they had received the true words of the Buddha, and they flocked into the venue to spread the Dharma.

“——The Buddhas and World Honored Ones wish to open the knowledge and insight of the Buddha to all living beings, so they descend into the Saha world and appear in the world.”

“Sure enough, this true Buddha came to the world to save us!”

“Not only that! The Buddha first appeared ten thousand years ago! He appeared earlier than the only Buddha we are waiting for. He is the orthodox Buddha!”

“Don’t speak nonsense!” Someone shouted, “How can you slander the only Buddha of the past because of the grace of the Buddha of the future?!”
