Ji Jingqiu chuckled silently, Brother Muâs personality turned out to be refreshingly straightforward, yet somewhat vengeful.
"The reincarnation body... is actually quite troublesome. Every action must align with oneâs own great vow, gradually becoming identical, eventually replacing the Dao. Any deviation along the way will result in losing the âreincarnationâ and falling."
Mu Heshan shook his head and brought the topic back on track,
"This is not a path of freedom."
"But fortunately, Junior Brother, you are cultivating the Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization."
"Junior Brother, I wish for you to become a god."
Ji Jingqiu stared in disbelief.
Mu Heshanâs expression was forthright:
"After I leave, the Supreme True Buddha will lose its existential core. Once you master the reincarnation method, you can replace it, using this Buddha Country as a foundation to let your reincarnation body âstep into heavenâ. With the Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization, you wonât fear future âlack of freedomâ."
"Additionally, your Self-Nature Bodhi will also undergo an important transformation here, leveraging the immense Power of Faith and Will to create a true Void Pure Land, potentially evolving a Dharma Realm prototype in the future."
"The accumulations here can save you endless time, this is the gift I promised you."
Ji Jingqiu was silent for a long time, then said, "Brother, are you leaving?"
Mu Heshan laughed, "I died a long time ago, now itâs just dust returning to dust, going back to where Iâm supposed to be. Meeting you, paving some paths for you, even scheming against Wuzhou after death, doesnât feel like a waste."
The two walked far along the wilderness, Ji Jingqiu didnât know where this road led.
"Junior Brother, you were born in the Federation, both fortunate and unfortunate, especially bearing the karma of Uncle He and your father. The further you go, the harder it gets, and there will be less we can do to help you, until itâs almost none."
"Perhaps after this, when you see Wuzhou again, youâll have to rely entirely on yourself."
"Rest assured, Brother, Iâm prepared."
"Thatâs good, once your reincarnation body steps into heaven, youâll have some means of self-preservation. Iâll leave it here, and from now on, the Supreme True Buddha Sect is entrusted to you, and this Buddha Country is entirely yours to inherit."
"What a pity, still couldnât hold out until the elders indulge once more."
Mu Heshan murmured, suddenly stopped, full of regret, turned to look at Ji Jingqiu, smiled, somewhat envious yet unwilling, said,
"Junior Brother, youâre very fortunate, this generation of Federation citizens is very fortunate, as youâll witness what âspirited and unrestrainedâ truly means..."
Without waiting for Ji Jingqiu to ask if he knew any inside information, Mu Heshan left freely.
He stepped away, walked into the wilderness in a blaze of light, vividly recalling his father once holding his hand as they walked a long road, saying after every long, spiritually dark period that shrouds the world, such a person would be bornâ
He would, through his own efforts, rediscover the forgotten path of awakening, freeing himself from endless reincarnation, and then lift everyone up.
[Father, is that person you?]
[No, itâs each and every âusâ.]
At the end of the wilderness, he lifted his head.
The glow reflected in his eyes.
Heâs the second son of the Mu Family, Mu Heshan.
...
Four Guardian Stars.
In the temple of the Four Directions God.
Revealed their original faces, the four who no longer showed themselves as formless, woke together, aware of a younger one leaving, and also...
Under the Bitter Sea, waves stirred.
With self-commenting, Qin Tianfeng said: "Our entire life followed the Heavenly Will, mended the flaws of the heaven, not just to suppress ourselves and future generations. Weâve preached reason for a lifetime, what harm comes from once or twice going against it?"
Yang Qingshan nodded, "What a pity Donghuang isnât here today."
Right at that moment.
A soft sigh sounded.
The four smiled lightly, ending this brief awakening.
Beneath the Abyss Zone, those onesâ attack intensified, clearly not wanting them to mind the rear.
...
Supreme Buddha Country.
The Buddha form manifested by Wuzhou had nearly collapsed.
He tried to leave here, but this land, originally transformed by him into Demon Land, under the endless glaze gold lightâs wash, reverted back to Buddha Country Pure Land!
Even the many followers he promoted using Buddha Country as a foundation had all turned! Becoming true believers of the Supreme True Buddha!
Wuzhou could even sense the cold will hanging high outside this Buddha Country.
Thatâs the Heavenly Will of the Great Universe!
That damn Mu Heshan led Ji Jingqiu to verify the reincarnation method, not only attracting the Dharma Realm Daoâs favor, but also bringing down the will of the Great Universe!
Everything here has exceeded his control.
Suddenly, grand Buddha sound filled the heavens and earth, solemn and majestic.
[If I attain Bodhi, do not ferry sentient beings, do not save the end times, do not seek the future...]
Wuzhouâs expression darkened suddenly,
As glaze flames burned, the Supreme True Buddhaâs Buddha body dissipated, leaving only a Shariputra in place.
That Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged, a long-lasting Zen intention slowly spreading over him, stirring the wonderful Dao rhyme rules of heaven and earth, he was like Mu Heshan before, reciting the Great Vow!
In an instant, Brahma Flowers blossomed from the void, thriving throughout the Void Realm, swirling up a thousand heaps of snow, surrounding him.
Brahma blooms, gold lotus rises, behind him a Bodhi sways, rooted in Buddha Land.
At this moment, Wuzhou could only watch as this Bodhi fiercely absorbed the Power of Faith and Will originally belonging to him.
As each Great Vow echoed through heaven and earth, heaven and earth Dao favored him, atop Ji Jingqiuâs head a Pure Qi shot skyward, transforming into a Buddha form.
[One Qi to Three Pure Ones]!
At this moment, Ji Jingqiu combined the reincarnation method with [One Qi to Three Pure Ones], successfully cutting out a reincarnation body!
This Buddha form appeared like glaze, internally and externally clear, Buddha light circled behind it, a blue lotus platform rose under it, untouched by dust.
Upon appearing, it was already sitting cross-legged, Shariputra merging into its form, it slowly opened its golden eyes, one hand pointing to the sky, one hand pointing to the earth, infinitely large form filled every corner, as if where it stood was the Supreme Divine Country, eyes full of great compassion and great purity.
Its voice like thunderous sound, stern yet compassionate:
"Boundless Bitter Sea, turning back is the shore!"
Wuzhou seemed to be struck by lightning, the Buddha country originally belonging to him, began pressing from all directions, tightly suppressing him at the bottom!
His expression was cold, still trying to escape.
But with a second more stern rebuke, even Wuzhou felt Spirit God tremble.
"Boundless Bitter Sea, turning back is the shore! Wuzhou, surrender now!"
Ji Jingqiu, using the reincarnation body, dominated this land, first freezing Wuzhouâs actions, making escape impossible even if he wished.
Next moment, a golden hand descended from the sky, capturing Wuzhou in its palm.
Tathagata Divine Palm, [Po Suo World]!
The situation, an absolute reversal from before, Ji Jingqiu flipped his hand, collecting Wuzhou into the Inner World!
Looking at the "brother" in the Inner World, both Wuzhous were somewhat dazed.
Especially the younger Wuzhou, staring blankly at the other self.
He might have truly overestimated Ji Jingqiu and also Mu Shitian, but underestimated Mu Heshan alone.
A guy who hadnât even reached Heavenly Venerable back then, brought him complete defeat of his perfect plan, and was even schemed against in return, truly...what skill!
Wuzhouâs expression was chilling, he hadnât lost yet, this is Ji Jingqiuâs Inner Realm, he still has a chance to turn the tide.
But quickly, Wuzhou saw another "himself", couldnât help but raise his eyebrows, where did Ji Jingqiu get a second clone from?
Within the Federation, he should have only infiltrated the current clone.
Yet Hel didnât give them a chance to daze, sweeping them from the Pure Land with a tail.
In an instant, drenched in blood rain, the twoâs expressions changed drastically.
"All Worlds Suffering Sea Water?!"
Wuzhou was horrified, finally understanding the "goodwill" of Ji Jingqiuâs earlier invitation to the Inner Realm.
...
While Hel busied settling the two Wuzhous.
Ji Jingqiu was still pioneering and adapting to the reincarnation body.
With the Bodhi Tree firmly rooted in Buddha Land, absorbing infinite Wish Power, growing madly, it nearly reached the sky and earth, Ji Jingqiu inherited all ownership of this world!
A Buddha Golden Body seated in the center of this land, countless faith and destiny converged onto it, then stepped into heaven!
With solemn voice, declared to all world followers:
"From today, I am the Supreme True Buddha."
