Chapter 598 Dao Fruit and Transcendence
Xie Tong nodded with an extremely firm tone: "If I can find him, I will definitely do my best to do what Tianjun said."
Tianjun nodded gently, his eyes were deep, and then he said slowly:
"If you have nothing else to report, just retreat."
"When you find the person who is good enough to receive Tianxin's mark, bring him here to see me."
Xie Que did not doubt the authenticity of Tianjun's words. In terms of the supreme ability possessed by Tianjun on the other side,
Even though it is caught in the heavy constraints of the sky barrier at this moment, it can still peer through the long river of time from the past to everything in the present.
Not to mention, Tianjun also has the favor of Yingzhou Heavenly Dao, which makes him almost omnipotent in this world.
If Tianjun really wanted to deal with him, it would be easy and there would be no need for so much calculation and planning.
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Xie Que's mind, and he seemed to have thought of something extremely important.
So, he spoke again, with a hint of temptation in his tone:
"I wonder if Heavenly Lord has ever heard of... the name of the Ancient Buddha of Burning Deng?"
Nichiren Tianjun frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he was trying hard to search every corner of his memory.
However, after a moment, he still shook his head, with a hint of regret in his tone: "I never heard of it."
When Xie Que heard this, his heart suddenly stopped.
But he did not give up, but said again: "What about...an additional Agama Sutra?"
This scripture was written by the ancient Buddha Ran Deng. If it really exists,
This means that the records on the ship in the Sea of Desire are true, and it also means that the Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng has truly transcended this world and reached an unimaginable realm.
Moreover, after he transcended, he used some incomparable power to erase the memory of him in everyone's minds, making all living beings in the world know nothing about him.
Tianjun said without thinking: "Of course I have heard of the Zengyi Agama Sutra, but the author of this sutra should be...should be..."
At this moment, Tianjun's words suddenly stopped, and there was a trace of confusion and confusion on his face.
As a divine body washed away by the power of time, Tianjun will not forget anything.
Whether it is the distant past or the present, all memories are like imprints and will appear clearly in my mind.
Even the moment when I was born, the subtle touch and warm breath are all vivid and fresh in my memory.
But now, he realized that he could no longer remember who the author of the Zengyi Agama Sutra was. this
It's not because he really doesn't know, but the name seems extremely vague in his mind.
It was as if he was shrouded in a mysterious fog, making it impossible for him to recall clearly.
This feeling was extremely strange, as if someone had forcibly dug a hole in his memory and completely erased the name.
And the only person who can do this, who can forcibly erase the memory in the mind of a Heavenly Lord from the Other Side, is undoubtedly the legendary Transcendent.
Nichiren Tianjun suddenly sighed, with a hint of emotion and shock in his tone:
"It seems...the thing about transcendence is not just a lie, it's true."
He closed his eyes, as if he was trying to calm down the turmoil in his heart, or thinking deeply about something.
Xie Que waited quietly and did not disturb Nichiren Tianjun.
After a while, Nichiren Tianjun finally opened his eyes: "Where did you hear the name of Lantern?"
After Xie Que heard this, he recounted in detail his previous encounter with the ship in the Sea of Desire.
He just said that he was being hunted and accidentally entered it.
Moreover, there are pictures and scriptures about the Lantern Ancient Buddha on the ship, and Xie Que also mentioned the Winged Immortal,
This great disciple of Ran Deng finally escaped as a real spirit, and he still doesn’t know where he went.
Nichiren Tianjun nodded, frowning slightly, as if he was trying to search for fragments in his memory:
"I recognize the Feather Wing Immortal. It is the mount of a Buddha, but I really can't remember which Buddha... and the name of the Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng."
He shook his head, seeming to be a little emotional and relieved: "It seems that there really are gods and Buddhas who have taken the path of transcendence..."
"If you want to achieve transcendence, this art of worshiping gods is indeed not advisable."
Nichiren Tianjun continued: "This technique uses the realm of heaven as a link to force the will of all living beings to bind the gods. For the stronger ones, it is a constraint."
"The Ancient Buddha of Burning Lights lowered the ship in the Sea of Desire to destroy his followers. Although it is a bit cruel, it is also the simplest and fastest way."
Nichiren Tianjun sighed, "Perhaps he wanted to use this to cut off the connection with the believers, so as to get rid of the shackles of the art of worshiping gods."
Thinking of this, Nichiren Tianjun asked again: "Do you know any worshipers of Guanyin?"
Xie Tiao nodded and replied: "I know someone who happens to be a classmate of mine."
The person he was talking about was Bihai Boy.
This fellow disciple was one of Mu Zha's reincarnations, and for some reason he became a worshiper of Guanyin.
Moreover, even Bihai Boy himself could not recall how he became a worshiper of gods.
Xie Que recalled that when he and Bihai Boy were together, they unexpectedly encountered the god Nian who was transformed into Mu Zha after his death.
After the battle with him, the deity seemed to convey some information to the Azure Sea Boy, and then disappeared like smoke.
The secret hidden in it may be closely related to the matter of Guanyin's transcendence.
Although Nichiren Tianjun did not know the Azure Sea Boy, he knew Mu Zha.
Seriously speaking, Mu Zha was still his senior brother.
When Xie Que mentioned something about the Azure Sea Boy, Rilian Tianjun nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Muzha must have been harmed by someone and was forced to worship the gods."
"The person who harmed him has evil intentions. He wants to make it difficult for Brother Muzha to achieve success in the future and to prevent the Bodhisattva from transcending."
"However, since Brother Muzha is in your world... you have to be careful."
Rilian Tianjun's tone became solemn, "The Bodhisattva now is no longer as compassionate and kind as before."
Rilian Tianjun stopped talking and did not go on to say more, but his words seemed to contain some deep meaning.
Xie Que was also thinking about it. He understood that Rilian Tianjun meant something.
The current Guanyin Bodhisattva must have experienced some major changes, which has caused her character and behavior to change dramatically.
She may even descend to the Little North Sea Realm to kill the Azure Sea Boy for the sake of transcendence.
Thinking of this, Xie Que was shocked again.
He suddenly recalled that, except for the boy of the blue sea, he no longer recognized the other Guanyin worshippers.
As the Xiaobeihai Realm was once under the rule of the Buddhist Realm, Huang Mei and the two leaders later spread the worship method throughout the Xiaobeihai Realm, so it is impossible that there are no Guanyin believers among them.
However, the current situation is that he can hardly find any traces of Guanyin believers.
This can only mean that the former Xiaobeihai Realm may have experienced a cruel "massacre".
Those Guanyin believers may have been killed or forced to give up their faith.
Xie Que was calm, but a sense of crisis surged in his heart.
In order to dispel the crisis in his heart, he asked Nichiren Tianjun: "I wonder if Tianjun knows what the other shore realm is? How far is it from the existence of transcendence?"
Nichiren Tianjun paced slightly, as if thinking about how to answer.
He hesitated a little, but still said slowly: "The other shore... I have just entered the other shore not long ago, and I don't know much, but I can tell you."
Speaking of this, Rilian Tianjun glanced at Xie Que and smiled.
There was a hint of playfulness in his smile, as if he saw through Xie Que's mind:
"This is also thanks to your method of worshiping gods. Otherwise, there are few people in Yingzhou, and I would need at least tens of thousands of years to enter the realm of the other shore."
Hearing this, Xie Que felt a little guilty.
He didn't expect that his original intention was to harm the other party's method of worshiping gods, but it actually helped the other party.
But fortunately, the other party had no ill will towards him, but was extremely friendly.
Nichiren Tianjun had no intention of settling accounts with him, so after thinking about it, he said, "Do you know why I knew you were coming?"
Xie Que frowned in confusion and asked, "Didn't you use divination to predict my arrival?"
Nichiren Tianjun shook his head gently and explained, "After reaching the other side, you can not only look back to the past, but also see the future for a short time, but this ability is not omnipotent."
"The future I can see must be related to myself, and it must happen, and the time range cannot exceed a hundred years."
Nichiren Tianjun further elaborated, "Although these conditions are harsh, I still glimpsed your existence in the fragments of time in the future, which gave me a certain foreknowledge of your arrival."
Xie Que understood what he said, but then he had new doubts: "If that's the case, why did Tianjun fall into the sky barrier? This seems to contradict your predictive ability."
Nichiren Tianjun sighed and his expression became solemn "The sky barrier is not as simple as you think. It contains profound heavenly laws, and the power of this law cannot be seen from the future."
"Even I cannot fully predict and control the appearance and changes of the sky barrier."
Riren Tianjun continued: "After reaching the other shore, practitioners can use the power of time to condense three flowers."
"These three flowers are the flower of the body, the flower of the spirit, and the flower of the law. Only when the three flowers are fully bloomed can one truly make his true spirit jump out of the long river of time and never be contaminated or bound by time again."
"This is the so-called 'jumping out of the three realms and no longer in the five elements', which is the ultimate embodiment of the other shore realm."
Riren Tianjun slowly said: "Even if the God of Creation has powerful power and a long life, it is still limited by its lifespan."
"However, once you practice to the realm of the Heavenly Lord, you can live as long as the heaven and earth. This is why this realm is called the other shore."
Xie Que nodded slightly. He could understand the deep meaning of what the Heavenly Lord said.
He then asked, "What about the other side? Is there a higher realm?"
"If the three flowers are fully blossomed, the ultimate realm of the cultivator can be achieved, which is the Dao fruit."
Riren Tianjun said in a deep voice, "Those who achieve the Dao fruit can be called Daojun, which is the ultimate realm that a cultivator can reach."
Xie Que recalled the many classics he had seen before, and his heart was chilled.
He originally thought that the Daojun he had met was just a simple title, but now it seems that it is actually the title of the ultimate realm.
He asked: "Since this Dao fruit is the end of the road, then this realm is also transcendence?"
However, Nichiren Tianjun shook his head: "Not so... After the three flowers bloom, if the Dao fruit cannot be condensed, they will choose to embark on the evil path of "transcendence."
"Transcendence is not the right way, but the helpless choice of those who cannot achieve the Dao fruit."
Xie Que was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't expect that the other party actually said that "transcendence" is an evil way? !
Tianjun sighed: "What I said is not without reason."
"Since the beginning of the world, there have been only six or seven Daojuns who have achieved the orthodox Dao fruit, and no one has become a Daojun since then."
"You can imagine how difficult this road is?"
"How many gods and immortals are unable to obtain it, and can only turn to research a new path."
"But now it seems... the only way to condense the Dao fruit is to practice Taoism."
Hearing this, Xie Que's expression suddenly became solemn.
There are many Dao sects in the world. The Dao is respected in the earthly immortal world, and the Buddha is respected in the Buddhist world.
There are also many native worlds that rely purely on Shintoism and use incense and faith as the main means.
Some worlds practice Confucianism and respect Confucius.
The Heavenly Lord shook his head and sighed: "I don't know how much time has passed since the creation of the world."
"But the Taoist Lords...are still the same few."
"The path of Taoism is difficult. There have been many debates in the Buddhist world about this. The Buddha believes that there is not much difference between Buddhism and Taoism."
"As long as you practice diligently, you will eventually achieve the fruit of Taoism."
"But...some people can't wait."
Hearing this, Xie Que was shocked and couldn't help but think of the straw Taoist enshrined in the endless void again.
At this moment, the Heavenly Lord exhaled a breath of turbid air:
"The feeling of being trapped in the sky barrier... is still very good for me."
He showed some fatigue on his face: "Thank you, I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time."
"When your two disciples are successful, you can bring them to me to ask for the Heavenly Heart Seal."
"Let's stop here."
Xie Que knew that the other party was driving him away. Since he got what he wanted, he didn't stay any longer and just bowed: "Thank you, senior."
After he left, the Heavenly Lord Rilian still stood there.
In a moment, his figure turned into a boy of about 17 or 18 years old. He seemed to be immersed in memories and just murmured:
"The Great Sage protected my parents in the past. Today I will repay them with the Heavenly Heart Seal. Just think of it as repaying this favor..." (End of this chapter)
