Chapter 992: Origins

"Hehe, that guy Dragon Tree ran away, now his complete physical body is mine for the taking..."

The boy in rough clothes blinked and couldn’t help but laugh, a look of pride in his eyes.

"Indeed, it’s yours now!"

Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Although the split soul of Dragon Tree Buddha ran away, the overall situation is unaffected.

The root essence of Buddha Flame is still here.

Or rather, a complete Formless Tree is still here.

That’s enough.

As for the Infinite Buddha Land represented by Dragon Tree Buddha, Ye Yun has no worries.

The Infinite Light Buddha Lord wants to descend upon the Divine Land, but it is incredibly difficult, not something that can happen just by wishing it.

If this Buddha Lord does come and dares to disrespect me, Ye Yun doesn’t mind teaching him a lifelong lesson.

What’s all this about the Infinite Light Buddha Lord, sounds all mighty, but in his eyes, it’s nothing but a larger ant.

Sure.

Although he holds contempt for this Infinite Light Buddha Lord, Ye Yun has to admit, this Mahā Infinite Sutra is indeed remarkable.

Ye Yun’s eyes flashed.

He looked at the boy in rough clothes, smiled, and asked: "You still look like Dragon Tree Buddha, aren’t you going to change back?"

The boy in rough clothes touched his face, bitterly smiled: "His body has been immersed in Buddhist Law for years, if I want to change it, I’m afraid it’s extremely difficult..."

"Hmm!"

Ye Yun nodded.

Dragon Tree Buddha’s body had already reached the level of Immortal Purple Gold Body before Nirvana.

So after millions of years, it still hasn’t decayed.

If the boy in rough clothes wants to change it, unless he has a high level of attainment in Buddhist Law, it’s impossible in the short term.

Ye Yun looked at the boy in rough clothes, his heart stirred, squinting with a smile, he asked: "Would you like to practice Buddhism?"

"No."

The boy in rough clothes refused without hesitation.

Back then, if he wanted to practice Buddhism, he would have accepted the Universal Dharma Power from the Jade Buddha Sect long ago.

"You sure have some backbone..."

Ye Yun chuckled lightly.

The boy in rough clothes spread his hands, troubled, and said: "I’m not your match, you promised to spare my life, does that still stand?"

"It stands, but the premise is that you must obey me."

Ye Yun said.

In the vast Divine Land, there are countless avatars of the Buddha Flame Root hidden everywhere, as long as he controls the essence, those avatars can’t escape his grasp.

If he kills the root essence, it would be counterproductive, leading those avatars to be leaderless, thrown into a state of chaos.

"Obey your commands?"

The boy in rough clothes froze, then thought of something, angrily said: "I am one of the four divine trees of the Ancient Realm, how can I obey orders from a mere Divine Soil Spirit like you?"

"Oh, one of the four divine trees of the Ancient Realm? You have quite the background, how did you come to the Divine Land back then?"

Ye Yun asked casually.

He was naturally very interested in the origins of the Formless Tree.

"How should I know? When I became aware, I had already taken root in the Divine Land, only the place was very hidden, and average cultivators couldn’t find it..."

The boy in rough clothes spread his hands and said.

"This might mean that you were taken from the Ancient Realm as a seed, right?"

Ye Yun asked.

"Perhaps, but I don’t know the full story, only some hidden memories in my bloodline tell me my true identity comes from the Ancient Realm..."

The boy in rough clothes sighed.

Speaking of the Ancient Realm, his expression turned somewhat gloomy.

"Have you ever seen the Goddess of Ancient?"

Ye Yun asked.

A beautiful figure emerged in his mind once more.

"Saw her once in the Divine Land, she seemed very busy, like she was in a hurry..."

The boy in rough clothes said.

"What else do you know?"

Ye Yun frowned and asked.

"I know nothing else, my memory has clearly been tampered with, fragmented, very pitiful..."

The boy in rough clothes shook his head, his face lacking color, sighed.

Ye Yun smiled.

Boom!

Suddenly, endless purple Buddha light erupted from his body, converging into numerous Purple Divine Buddhas.

Each Purple Buddha, noble and holy, with a grand presence.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing these Purple Divine Buddhas, the boy in rough clothes was panic-stricken.

Ye Yun smiled calmly: "I said I’d spare your life, naturally won’t lay a killer hand on you. But seeing you with the appearance of Dragon Tree Buddha, I really can’t ignore it, I have to lend you a hand... If you can accept my Universal Dharma Power, I’ll gift you a fortune."

"You want to confer salvation upon me? What a joke! Haha!"

The boy in rough clothes laughed maniacally.

He is Yan Fu, the Jade Buddha Sect couldn’t confer salvation successfully for years.

In the end, helpless, they only used compulsion to inject boundless Buddha light into his body, to suppress him.

"Shut up! Do you believe I can kill you with one sword?"

Ye Yun’s gaze turned severe, suddenly shouted coldly.

The sword in his hand slowly rose, pointing at the boy in rough clothes.

The boy in rough clothes shivered, instantly shutting his mouth obediently.

He wasn’t afraid of Buddhist Law, but he was extremely terrified of the sword in Ye Yun’s hand.

Seeing this kid yielding, Ye Yun smiled faintly and began to apply Mahā Infinite Sutra, using Universal Dharma Power.

He’s doing this because he truly wants to use this method to subdue the Buddha Flame Root essence.

In Ye Yun’s view, the boy’s memory isn’t complete, his nature is also extremely vile, if salvation succeeds, from then on, this guy will heed his commands.

The avatars of Buddha Flame Root all over the Divine Land, none can escape, all will be under Ye Yun’s control.

Ye Yun has great confidence in Mahā Infinite Sutra.

Buddha sounds burst forth.

Purple Buddha light, dazzling and brilliant, like a tidal wave surged downward.

The boy in rough clothes instantaneously was surrounded.

He closed his eyes, and blocked his ears with his hands.

"Take your hands off!"

Ye Yun commanded coldly.

"These Buddha sounds are annoying, can’t I choose not to hear them?"

The boy in rough clothes shouted.

"No!"

Ye Yun smiled icily, seeing this boy being so stubborn, he swung a sword.

Swish!

A sharp sword light flashed by.

The boy’s two hands immediately were severed.

"You’re... you’re too ruthless!"

The boy raised his arms, fearfully looking at Ye Yun.

Fortunately, the sword only chopped off his hands, not his body.

"Accept the Universal Dharma Power sincerely, I will naturally spare your life!"

Ye Yun said indifferently.

"Alright, alright!" The boy had no choice but to lower his arms, listening to the Buddha sounds all around.

While his hands were severed, it wasn’t a big deal for him, he can reattach them in a while.

Ye Yun continuously applied Mahā Infinite Sutra, the purple Buddha light became increasingly intense, and the phantoms of Divine Buddhas in the void multiplied and increased.

One by one, the purple Divine Buddhas sat high in the void, numerous, dense, almost filling the entire underground space.

Three time units passed.

Ye Yun surprisingly found that the boy in rough clothes hadn’t been successfully conferred salvation.

"This guy might indeed be the legendary Yan Fu..."

Ye Yun smiled lightly, not minding the result.

He has all the time, perfect for comprehending and cultivating the third profound meaning of Mahā Infinite Sutra while conferring salvation upon the boy.

...

A month later.

Ye Yun’s body slightly trembled, while comprehending Mahā Infinite Sutra, unknowingly reached the God Venerate Realm Fifth Layer.

In the underground space.

Around the altar, the purple Buddha light now thick as glue.

The boy in rough clothes clasped his hands together, face no longer bearing the playful expression, but reverently solemn instead, his jet-black hair also emitted faint Buddha light.

Within the Buddha light emanated faint hints of purple.
