Section 827

The raging Tongtian River instantly diverted from the middle, flowing out a broad avenue for the Sky City. A spiritual mountain with a height of one million meters stood at the end as far as the eye could see.

The dazzling Buddha's light, accompanied by soul-cleansing Zen singing, filled the entire avenue.

"The effect of this light and shadow is quite deceiving..."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, and the city in the sky suddenly accelerated and shot toward the spiritual mountain.

Chapter 793 Complete the mission, the power of merit!

On top of Lingshan Mountain.

Three rounds of Buddha's light hang high on the mountain peaks, illuminating the earth. They are Sakyamuni Tathagata, Great Sun Tathagata and Immovable Tathagata.

Eight Bodhisattvas, including Avalokitesvara, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Kongzang, Mahasthamaprapta, Skanda, Lingji, and Pili, are listed below.

After that, there were hundreds of powerful Arhat lords such as Jianglong, Fuhu, Tota, Budai, Changmei, etc., and even many were extremely powerful lords, Vajra Arhats.

Although the entire main hall of Leiyin Temple is only a few hundred kilometers in radius, under the seats of these Bodhisattvas and Arhats, one small world after another is looming, with countless Buddhist soldiers among them, ready to attack.

The Ancient Buddha Clan has always pursued an elite military policy, and only those who are either peerless geniuses or powerful individuals such as Sun Wukong, Jiang Chen, and Long Nu will be specially recruited. Even top Bodhisattvas such as Avalokitesvara and Samantabhadra, who have dedicated their entire lives to the realm of the Buddha, rarely receive infusion of merit.

Therefore, there are only a dozen or so "Buddhas" in the Posing Buddha Realm. The fact that three can appear at once at this moment shows the importance they attach to Jiang Chen.

Of course, every Buddha has boundless power. At the same level, his power is even higher than that of twelve-winged angels.

"Jiang Chen and Longnu have entered the Tongtian River and are about to arrive at Lingshan Mountain. Please perform your duties and do not damage the majesty of our Buddha."

Master Guanyin spoke on behalf of Sakyamuni.

Hundreds of Bodhisattvas and Arhats below simultaneously made loud sounds.

"yes!"

A male Bodhisattva with a majestic face and a vajra in his hand whispered:

"I would like to ask Master Guanyin, it took Jiang Chen 12 years to complete the journey of seeking scriptures, which is even better than his initial battle to defeat the Buddha. I wonder if he has subdued his heart and taken refuge in my Buddha at this moment?"

As the head of Lingshan Security Department, Wei Tuo Bodhisattva is only at the level of department manager. Compared with Guanyin, the general assistant, there is still a big gap in status, so his attitude is very respectful.

Everyone in Lingshan performs their own duties. Skanda Bodhisattva did not participate in the westward journey plan, so he asked this question because he had to be fully prepared.

After hearing Veda's question, many Arhats also listened attentively.

Although the Journey to the West plan related to the addition of two more Buddhas to Lingshan Mountain was classified as confidential, it was about to be completed at this moment, so Master Guanyin did not hide it anymore.

"Jiang Chen, the Lord of the Divine Realm, should now be called Wu Shi. Although Wu Shi was stubborn, he finally had an epiphany after the disaster in the Daughter Kingdom. Now he chants sutras and worships Buddha every day. I have a profound understanding of Buddhist classics such as the Avatamsaka Sutra and the Diamond Sutra, and I have become a true believer of Sakyamuni Tathagata, Mahavamika Tathagata, and Immovable Tathagata. My belief in my Buddha, Sakyamuni, is about to break through from the fanatic followers.”

Speaking of this, Master Guanyin looked at Manjushri Bodhisattva, the Golden-headed Venerable and others:

"Wu Shi has many trump cards. He is even more stubborn and untamable than the Buddha who defeated him in the original fight. I am able to conquer him and all of you are indispensable."

Manjushri Bodhisattva and others reciprocated the favor and complimented him: "It all depends on the great master to coordinate the overall situation."

"Good, good, good!"

The Great Sun Tathagata, the head of the Three Saints of Huayan, suddenly spoke:

"Material determines consciousness! After Jiang Chen receives the infusion of merit and is influenced by the energy of Buddhism, he will probably become a fanatical believer of Lord Sakyamuni immediately. If he takes this opportunity to complete the clan transformation, I, the Buddha Realm, will immediately be filled again. It’s really gratifying to have such a powerful guardian Buddha.”

As the ancestor of playing with the power of faith, Lingshan has taken the "believer's reuse technology" to the extreme. In many mortal temples, many ancient Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats are enshrined.

It is normal for an ordinary ancient Buddhist lord to believe in hundreds of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats at the same time. It is even common for some Arhats to be true believers of each other.

The monks chant sutras every day, and what they read are the biographies of gods.

The Avatamsaka Sutra, also known as the Mahavamna Sutra, is the biography of the Great Sun Tathagata. Even as one of the big bosses of Lingshan, Mahavatha Tathagata cannot ignore a true believer like Jiang Chen.

After all, the power of the Divine Realm cannot be underestimated.

When Sakyamuni saw the Great Sun Tathagata speaking, he could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb:

"We are all happy together. Tianyin disciples are born with the true fire of the sun, which can be a great help to the Great Sun Tathagata."

This is one of the reasons why Great Sun Tathagata is so concerned about this matter.

As a three-legged Golden Crow Buddha, if he can obtain the powerful soldier Tianyin Saint who is born to master the true fire of the sun, his power and personal strength will show explosive growth.

Wei Tuo's immediate superior, Fudo Tathagata, who was in charge of Lingshan's security work, suddenly said: "The goddess warrior can protect Lingshan!"

Manjushri Bodhisattva hurriedly said: "The Bodhi tree in the poor monk's territory has matured. If it is grafted with the Enlightenment tea tree and gets the nutritional supply from the Enlightenment tea tree, a more powerful Bodhi tree will definitely be cultivated. I hope that I, the Buddha, will succeed."

Before Jiang Chen appeared, several Tathagatas and Bodhisattvas had already eagerly started dividing the spoils, seeing Jiang Chen and even the resources of the Divine Realm as their own.

Soon, a stream of light appeared on the horizon and arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the Sky City showed no sign of stopping and was heading straight for the Great Leiyin Temple on the top of the mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly and shouted loudly: "Dragon Girl, Wushi, you can't be rude in front of the Buddha! Why don't you get off the boat immediately, bow three times and kowtow nine times, and walk up the mountain?"

"The Bodhisattva is wrong!" Jiang Chen's voice came: "Worshiping Buddha is in the heart, not in the action. As long as there is Buddha in the heart, why should we just go through the motions? Besides, the great cause of obtaining the scriptures has not yet been successful. A journey of a hundred miles is halfway through ninety. My master and I dare not slack off at all."

Jiang Chen naturally couldn't leave the Sky City, the last barrier.

"No problem!" Before Guanyin could say anything else, the grand voice of Sakyamuni Tathagata came, resounding throughout the Lingshan Mountain, "Let him come up."

"This reverberation effect is really great."

Jiang Chen complained in his heart, which was considered to relieve his pressure. The Sky City also accelerated again. In less than a minute, it climbed to the top of the mountain and hovered in the center of the vast hall of the Great Leiyin Temple.

"Wu Shi greets the Buddha."

The clone of Jiang Chen wearing a tight headband appeared on the deck of the Sky City, standing side by side with the Dragon Girl, and bowed respectfully to Sakyamuni:

"Wu Shi has fulfilled his mission, slaying demons and spreading Buddhism along the way. He has now escorted Master Dragon Girl to Lingshan, hoping that the Buddha will grant him the Dharma."

"Good!"

Sakyamuni spoke again, and it was a rare long speech.

"True strength does not lie in attributes, but in the tranquility of the mind."

"The Dragon Girl understood the essence of the Lotus Sutra at the age of eight, her wisdom was sharp, and her heart was full of Bodhi. This time she experienced eighty-one difficulties, and her practice was complete, and she could obtain the true scriptures."

"Wu Shi slayed demons and demons along the way, and his merits were immeasurable. From the brilliance of the Lord of the Divine Realm to the great enlightenment now; from being unruly to being calm now, he could obtain the true scriptures."

What surprised Jiang Chen was that Sakyamuni did not drag his feet at all.

After a simple commendation, dozens of golden scriptures were directly bestowed and landed steadily in the hands of the Dragon Girl.

At the same time, the Heavenly Dao prompt sounded.

[Prompt: You have completed the Journey to the West mission. ]

[Contribution calculation, you have obtained a total of 23.13 million merits. ]

Boom——

The earth and the sky trembled, and the sky within a radius of tens of thousands of miles was instantly dyed golden, and the power of merit was as deep as the sea.

But Jiang Chen's body hiding in the deep space knew that if what Monkey Brother said was true, the next step would be the most dangerous.

Chapter 794 The body appeared! Shakyamuni took action!

A huge amount of merit power poured down towards Jiang Chen and the Dragon Girl.

Because of his outstanding contribution, more than three-quarters of the merit fell on Jiang Chen.

"Is this... a clone?! It's actually a clone!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly screamed.

On the Sky City, an identical Jiang Chen suddenly appeared on the deck, his body turned into a huge vortex, madly absorbing the power of merit.

"What kind of clone is this? Even my eyes can't see through it?"

The monkey's body was so magical that it deceived countless powerful people, but it was still visible in front of her.

But she didn't see any clues about Jiang Chen's clone.

This made Guanyin Bodhisattva come to a conclusion that she herself couldn't believe: "Eternal! Eternal clone skills!"

Not only Guanyin Bodhisattva, but all other Bodhisattvas and Arhats changed their faces suddenly.

The clone is one of the most commonly used means of "faith deception".

Jiang Chen showed his clone at this time, and the matter was already clear.

It turned out that Jiang Chen had been compromising for more than ten years, with the purpose of stealing merits.

However, the clone skills are rare, and even Guanyin Bodhisattva, the first Bodhisattva who is almost as good as Buddha, can't see through the clone, which is simply shocking.

Bodhisattva Weituo soared into the sky and roared: "Open the Xumi formation and seal Lingshan."

Buzz buzz buzz——

Buddha's light soared into the sky, and a formation of thousands of kilometers rose up, covering Lingshan and the Great Leiyin Temple.

All Bodhisattvas and Arhats took action, and small worlds were boiling. Hundreds of billions of Buddhist soldiers were about to come out in full force.

"Be patient!"

The gentle voice of Sakyamuni suddenly resounded through Lingshan, bringing the power to soothe people's hearts, instantly dissolving the tense atmosphere that was about to explode.

"This is Jiang Chen's last inner demon and obsession, and also the last tribulation. As long as Jiang Chen can conquer his heart, he can truly realize the truth and become a Buddha. Although defeating the inner demon should not be done by others, the Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved, so let this Buddha help you."

There is no doubt that the "inner demon" mentioned by Sakyamuni refers to Jiang Chen's body.

Under Jiang Chen's solemn gaze, a huge force went back along the faith channel and entered the clone. This clone, which was specially used for praying, was instantly out of Jiang Chen's control, slowly turned around, and said to Jiang Chen solemnly:

"This emperor has decided to convert to my Buddha, and you, this evil obstacle, are still obsessed with it!"

"If you let go of your obsession now, you may still have a chance to reincarnate, otherwise don't blame this emperor for not thinking of the same origin and letting your soul fly away."

For the first time, the empress's voice was panicked, and she shouted: "Master, in my panel, both of you are lords! My favorability has reached 100 points, and I can't attack anyone. You hold on, otherwise we can only follow you to convert to Lingshan."

After the favorability and loyalty reach 100 points, they will never disobey the lord's order, no matter how outrageous the order is, just like a saint, so the empress and others cannot take action.

Even if there are soldiers whose loyalty has not reached 100 points, such as the troublemaker King Tianqi, it is difficult to attack their lords.

The moods of the Bodhisattvas and Arhats in Lingshan were like a roller coaster, with ups and downs.

"It turns out that everything is under the control of my Buddha. We just lost our composure. We are really ashamed!"

"The devil is one foot high, and the Buddha is ten thousand feet high! No matter how cunning Jiang Chen is, he will eventually struggle to his death."

"The Lord of the Sakya Domain has a sharp vision and a far-reaching layout. The Lord of the Divine Domain has also been played in your hands. I am not as good as you."
