Chapter 2010: The Buddhist Sect Travels East Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the Heaven Vault, up in the nine heavenly layers, there was a constellation that was shaped like a giant buddha. At this moment, a figure was sitting cross-legged on it.
Although this figure was tiny, a gigantic image of an ancient buddha actually appeared behind him, wanting to merge as one with this constellation. Buddhic light flared as buddhist chants filled the air. This constellation contained an immense amount of buddha-path energy, it felt holy and sacred.
The figure on the constellation was none other than Qin Wentian. He was trying to gain insights into the dao of the buddha. In addition, every time he visits a constellation, he would construct a minor world where the flow of time was different. This would give him more time to cultivate.
If a day passed by in the outside world, he could cultivate for several years.
If a month has passed in the outside world, he could cultivate for hundreds of years.
And after several months, he appeared again on another constellation. This constellation radiated heavenly devil energy, filled with the intent to control all lives and was extremely tyrannical. The controller of such a dao would rule everything with might, everyone in the world had to submit to him.
At this moment, Qin Wentian has already cultivated for several hundred years on different constellations while only a few months have passed in the outside world. And after this, he would continue heading to different constellations. For example, constellations of sealing, of time and of space.
Many minor worlds were constructed on the different constellations, they were marked with his shadow, proving that he cultivated on them before. He was able to draw on energy from all the constellations and form a connection and manifest any astral souls he wanted. Hence, he attempted to comprehend different daos, fusing them in experiments in a bid to grow stronger. If not, when the grand war of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms arrived, his enemies would be a returned godking, Yue Changkong and Che Hou who has control over a false dao of chaos. He wouldn’t possess any advantage with his current strength at all.
Not only was Qin Wentian working hard, everyone in the Heaven Vault was frenziedly cultivating, their strengths were also gradually transforming. Everyone could feel immense pressure, they had to grow stronger before they could deal with the changes to the situation. If not, all the pressure would bore down on Qin Wentian alone when the time comes.
Time slowly flowed by, three years of time passed in the outside world. Three years was truly too short in the perspective of the external world, it was a period of time that passed by in the blink of an eye. The strange phenomenon in the western world still persisted, everyone in the Universe Region cultivated the buddha dao. The airspace of the holy ground of Buddhism still had incarnations of ancient buddhas which grew increasingly corporeal. The people there all felt devotion in their hearts as they focused fully on their buddhism path to seek the dao.
What’s even stranger was that there seemed to be buddhic chants permeating the entire area. The source of this was actually from the direction of the western paradise.
Another strange scene appeared in the western world, all the buddha cultivators were heading towards the Buddhist Sect.
The western paradise became even more magnificent than before. A high-up and incomparably supreme buddha incarnation appeared in the air. This was the body of the Buddha Sovereign. He soared into the air, flying higher and higher like he wanted to reach the nine heavenly layers. Everyone in the world claimed that he was trying to compete with the heavens, seeing who was taller. He desired to ride over the heavens and wanted to surpass the nine heavenly layers.
Today, this buddha incarnation body began to glow with golden light, illuminating all parts of the western world. His fingers wriggled, after that, a rumbling sound rang out as countless people in the boundlessly vast western world glanced up at it. The incarnation body seemed to be alive. It was seated on a golden lotus throne and it revealed a smile that was gentle and filled with kindness.
The lotus throne drifted forward. The ancient buddha on it floated forth as well. The buddha lords, sacred buddhas and countless buddhist cultivators followed after the throne while chanting buddhic verses. A brahmic melody reverberated through the sky, enveloping the western world. The hearts of everyone trembled. Their hearts were linked by Buddhism as they all followed after the gigantic ancient buddha as it headed towards the east.
His speed wasn’t fast, he was leading the Buddhist cultivators of the western world over, it was impossible even if he wanted to be fast. However, it wasn’t slow either. He only appeared slow because of his size. He was so large that this heaven and earth didn’t seem to have a way to restrict him. Hence, for every shift of his motion, ordinary-sized people needed to move an immense distance to keep up with him.
The Buddha Sovereign was heading to the east, wanting to deliver the multitude of lives from their suffering.
This news instantly created a huge commotion that engulfed the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
The changes in the western world were long known by the people of the world. The devotion towards the buddhist path in the hearts of these people caused many to feel fear. This didn’t seem like faith, they seemed more like fanatics. All other emotions saved for their devotion towards buddha were discarded. As long as their faith existed, buddha would always exist. This was why the phenomenon of countless ancient buddhas would manifest in the sky of the western world.
So how could the news of the buddhist cultivators heading east not cause a commotion?
Yue Changkong was in his darkness palace. He flew into the sky and stared at the west as a smile appeared on his face. Was that bald donkey finally going to act? This time around, the bald donkey would no longer hide in the darkness like he did in the past. The bald donkey was personally acting. Because, everyone knew that the opponents he had to face might be even stronger compared to the experts in Ancient Azure Mystic back then.
Naturally, the ambitions of the Buddha Sovereign this time was greater than before. He wanted to convert all lives, unifying the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms under the banner of Buddhism.
In the lower world, in Ancient Azure Mystic, the crazy old freak stood in the air and stared in the direction of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. What should have returned has finally returned. And this time around, the Buddha Sovereign was even stronger and more dangerous than before.
Turning his head back, he glanced in the direction of Ancient Azure Mystic. The ancient world-leading battlefield was trembling. An incomparably magnificent faint shadow appeared in the sky. If Qin Wentian was present, he would surely be able to recognize this silhouette. Once, when they first came to the ancient battlefield, they once saw a magnificent statue. This silhouette that appeared now was none other someone with the appearance of that statue. It was a remnant of energy left behind by the Imperishable Heaven Lord.
Undying Scripture, it was for the cultivator to become undying. Death Scripture was to allow the dead to return.
Everything that was sealed in this ancient battlefield could allow the Death Scripture to erupt forth with the greatest effect.
“Time grows short. I hope you can unravel the seals from her energy remnant.” The crazy old freak turned his gaze into a direction, piercing through the void and landing on a beautiful figure. His gaze was cloudy but it was much sharper compared to any time before. At the same time, it was filled with tenderness. His hope was on the shoulders of that beautiful figure.
The Heaven Vault naturally also learned of the commotion in the western world. After Qin Wentian learned of this, he had no distractions in his heart. He entered seclusion again and ignored external matters. He would only leave his seclusion if the western world arrived at the Boundless Sea Region. Qin Wentian’s attitude also encouraged the others in the Heaven Vault. They no longer panicked and calmed down to cultivate instead. All of them wanted to grow stronger before the western world arrived.
They understood that the purpose for the cultivators of the western world to head east, was probably for the Heaven Vault.
In truth, they only guessed half the story. The Buddha Sovereign did indeed chose to head east for the Heaven Vault but that was not the only reason.
One day, when that supreme ancient buddha stepped out of the western region and came to the other regions, countless people in the other regions stared at this magnificent scene as their heart trembled. They could see an unending mass of buddhist cultivators from the western worlds following after the supreme ancient buddha. Who in the world would be able to obstruct them?
In reality, it was completely impossible to obstruct them. The sounds of buddhic chants filled the air, enveloping a boundlessly vast area. Many people felt their souls trembling. But in that instant, all distractions in their hearts were smoothed over, all of them felt like their cultivation in the past were all for nothing.
Those who lusted after beauties, now felt that beautiful women were nothing but skeletons in rouge. What’s the meaning of chasing after them?
Those who coveted authority and power discovered that having power merely grants you a period of satisfaction. Your subordinates would be respectful towards you on the surface but they wanted nothing more than to replace you secretly. What’s the meaning in having such authority? For those chasing after power and authority, do they have to kill everyone above them before they could be happy? What’s the point in chasing after all of these?
Those who felt a strong attachment to their homes now discovered that their past efforts were all futile. Their wives and children wouldn’t be grateful to them. Their wives would always complain, their sons and daughters weren’t filial and were rebellious. All their hard work amounted to nothing. What was the meaning of life?
There were also people with virtuous wives and filial kids feeling that they had spent their entire life living for others, they had never truly lived for themselves before. In the end, they would be nothing but a tomb on a plot of earth.
This buddhic chants seemed to contain the true Great Dao, able to clear their confusion. Those who were affected all laid down everything and joined the masses, learning the chants. The more they chanted, the more at peace they felt, distractions no longer bothered them.
The western world was heading east not for war, but to deliver the multitude of lives. Ordinary people had no way to resist the buddhic chants at all. They were directly delivered and became part of the procession. If everyone in the world turned to Buddhism, how terrifying would this concept be? It was simply unimaginable.
Even for cultivators with high cultivations, they also began to doubt themselves. Many of them gradually slowly sank and became a part of the masses as well. There were also people feeling that something was wrong. They felt like the buddhic chants were making them lie to themselves. These people fled and closed off their six senses, not daring to listen anymore.
The western world, although they didn’t fight, they could still make people submit to them. Everywhere they passed by, the people there would submit to Buddhism, no one resisted. And several years later, they finally entered the borders of the Heaven Region.
During these years, the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were turned topsy turvy. The remaining people of the world all wanted to flee from the buddha army. They all knew how terrifying this was. No one dared to stay behind.
Everywhere the western world passed by, resplendent golden light would flare as a holy aura permeated the atmosphere. However, other than themselves being at their location, not a single person of a different faith could be found. This strange situation continued on!
