Capítulo 2440: Chapter 216: Tianyin

“The last time the Supreme True Buddha suffered a great defeat in the Cloud Sky Realm, it was Tianyin who, along with the monks from the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm, initiated the Ten Thousand Buddha Formation. With this, they managed to hold back the Supreme True Buddha’s Tianshang Buddha Lord and the Bodhisattvas.”

“By the time we returned, Tianshang Buddha Lord had already retreated without success.”

“In fact, the four Mahayana of the Four Great Realms each have their specialties. Taoist Friend Xiahou is clever and cunning, adept at transformations, and Heavenly Monarch Chao is good at forces and controlling beasts. I am somewhat skilled in assaults, while Tianyin excels in the Defensive Path. His defensive strength is unparalleled; even if Taoist Friend Xiahou, Heavenly Monarch Chao, and I join forces, we may still not be able to break through his defenses.”

“However, the Supreme True Buddha is truly overwhelming, already beyond the realm we can hope to reach. Although we managed to stop the Supreme True Buddha last time, we exhausted our foundations and are now at the end…”

Wang Ba and True Man Gai shuttled through the Chaos Origin Substance, watching the swiftly enlarging Black Realm ahead, heard True Man Gai’s words, Wang Ba felt slightly surprised, and couldn’t help but speak:

“How could Mahayana Cultivators be driven to such a state?”

True Man Gai sighed softly:

“Among the four of us, Tianyin is the oldest. It was he who first proposed testing the intentions of Tianshang Buddha Lord, having prepared for his demise from the very beginning… there’s more to this, and he should explain it to you at the time, so I won’t say much now.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba felt even more amazed.

As they spoke, the two suddenly landed before the Black Realm.

Before they approached, the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm appeared black and heavy, but upon landing closely, one could clearly see the tranquil and serene aura faintly emanating from the darkness, identical to the aura once emitted by the Reclining Buddha Wang Ba had seen.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but cast his gaze toward the Domain.

This Eastern Luli Buddha Realm was not much different from other Domains he had seen. Through the surface of the Domain, one could vaguely sense the changes in the rules within.

Noticing Wang Ba and True Man Gai’s arrival and the aura emanating from them, a figure quickly flew out from the Glazed Buddha Realm, landing before the two.

This figure was a monk, unremarkably plain in appearance, dressed in the simplest yellow robe. As he flew out and saw True Man Gai and Wang Ba, he bowed courteously and calmly to True Man Gai:

“Yan Poluo, greetings to True Man Gai.”

The name of this monk was somewhat different from the names of the monks of the Supreme True Buddha, making Wang Ba scrutinize this person once more.

He sensed a kind of aura from this person, somewhat akin to those of the cultivators, yet quite different from the monks of the Supreme True Buddha.

The other party did not conceal anything, and the aura was revealed, allowing him to roughly gauge the other party’s realm, presumably somewhat similar to Sect Leader Bai.

He couldn’t help but be secretly astonished:

“Another at Tribulation Crossing Perfection.”

“This Yan Poluo is currently the person in charge of the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm.”

As True Man Gai telepathically relayed this to Wang Ba, he nodded with a smile and introduced Wang Ba to Yan Poluo:

“This is True Man Taiyi, he asked me to introduce him, wishing to meet Tianyin.”

Hearing this, Yan Poluo couldn’t help but glance at Wang Ba, scrutinizing him briefly, then showing a trace of surprise on his face and courteously saluting Wang Ba with one hand upright:

“So, it is Layman Taiyi, famous for a long time.”

Wang Ba hastily returned the salute, politely saying:

“Greetings, Master.”

Yan Poluo then slightly frowned and asked somewhat puzzled:

“I wonder if I was mistaken, yet I feel a Buddhist aura on you, Layman Taiyi. Do you also cultivate the Buddhist methods?”

True Man Gai interjected aside:

“That’s the purpose of his visit. He has comprehended some of the Supreme True Buddha’s Secret Techniques and wishes to seek guidance from Tianyin.”

“The Supreme Demon Buddha… is that so.”

Hearing this, Yan Poluo couldn’t help but be surprised, then slightly stepping aside, with a gesture, invited:

“Honored guests, please enter.”

Immediately, Wang Ba and True Man Gai followed Yan Poluo and quickly entered the Domain.

Unlike the Cloud Sky Realm and other Great Realms, upon passing through the Domain, Wang Ba noticed there was no integrated Taoist Field present within, rather, this Domain was vast and boundless, divided into a thousand small spaces.

Wang Ba was slightly astonished, softly saying:

“Could the arrangement inside this Domain be what Buddhism refers to as a small thousand world?”

Hearing Wang Ba’s words, Yan Poluo’s gaze at Wang Ba shifted slightly, and with surprise, he commented:

“It seems Layman has indeed practiced the Buddhism Secret Technique, even knowing our Buddhist classics.”

True Man Gai, next to him, appeared slightly puzzled, asking:

“Are there any specific tales regarding these one thousand small worlds?”

Yan Poluo heard this but didn’t answer directly, instead, looking at Wang Ba:

“Perhaps Layman Taiyi can give us an explanation.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba did not decline, pondered for a moment, and explained:

“This reflects Buddhism’s understanding of heaven, earth, and the world.”

He pointed to one of the small worlds and said:

“True Man, observe this small world is divided into The Four Great Continents, with a central location called Sumeru. Within The Four Great Continents, there are Nine Mountains and Eight Seas and the Desire Realm Six Heavens, all of which form a small world.”

“A thousand small worlds make up a small thousand world. A thousand small thousand worlds can become a Middle Thousand World. And a thousand Middle Thousand Worlds can become a Great Thousand World… Buddhism believes that the world is not divided into the Three Great Realm Seas, but consists of countless Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds.”
