Just after the funeral of Dipankara Buddha ended, Mu Yi was about to leave when a voice came from behind him.

"Your Majesty, please wait!"

The visitor was a Bodhisattva whom Mu Yi was very familiar with, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

"The Venerable Tathagata invites you, Your Majesty, to follow me!"

"Lead the way!" Mu Yi raised an eyebrow, not expecting that someone else would ask him for something.

In the ancient temple of Leiyin on Mount Ling, the Buddha sat in meditation, but this time there were three figures standing side by side with him.

They are Maitreya Buddha (the future Buddha), Bhaisajyaguru Buddha (the Eastern Buddha), and Amitabha Buddha (the Western Buddha), all of whom are Buddhas in Buddhism.

Five hundred Arhats, eight Vajras, and countless Bodhisattvas, each holding banners and canopies, reside in the ancient Leiyin Temple.

Mu Yi was led into the main hall by Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, where the five hundred Arhats, eight Vajras, and four Bodhisattvas all clasped their hands in prayer.

"Emperor Mu! The reason for this invitation is that our Buddhist sect has a request." Tathagata bowed and spoke softly to Mu Yi.

"Please, Buddha, speak freely!"

Mu Yi sat on the lotus platform, calmly looking at the four Buddhas in front of him.

He already guessed what the four people in front of him wanted to discuss with him.

"I wonder if the Buddha's sect may enter Your Majesty's world?" Buddha said calmly to Mu Yi.

"Of course, may I ask which Venerable One will lead the team?"

Mu Yi, of course, accepted all comers. In any case, the Great World was a chaotic mess, and he was willing to take anyone in, no matter who they were.

The will of Heaven is like a knife. As the Heavenly Dao of the Great World, he naturally has no fear of any challenge from powerful immortals or gods, as long as there is no interference from other emperors.

"Randeng greets the Human Emperor!"

"The Buddha Dipankara has already reached the level of a quasi-saint, but lacks practical combat experience. The Buddhist sect wishes to send three bodhisattvas to accompany him in this situation, and hopes that Emperor Mu will provide some guidance!"

Mu Yi was stunned for a moment when he saw the figure that appeared in front of him. He did not expect it to be Randeng.

He wasn't surprised that the Buddhist teachings, which govern the past, present, and future, allowed Dipankara to grow rapidly.

To his surprise, the person before him already possessed the cultivation of a powerful deity; according to Tathagata, this was the cultivation of a quasi-saint.

However, Mu Yi wasn't too surprised when he thought that some people also referred to the Emperor level as the Saint level; it was just a title, after all.

"good!"

Mu Yi readily agreed, after all, he had fully inherited all the legacy of an emperor, and they were from the same source, so there was no problem with his strength increasing quickly.

After all, Mu Yi has only been cultivating for a few years before becoming an emperor.

He already had enough advantages, but Dipankara Buddha had even bigger ones, so his path to becoming an emperor was probably smooth sailing.

After leaving the Buddhist order, Mu Yi's incarnation returned to the Great World once again, exactly sixty years after he left.

The Second Lich War has intensified, and the early stages of the war against both tribes have largely come to an end, with each tribe being relocated to a safe place.

The beings at the Quasi-Saint level have begun to fight each other throughout the Great World.

Mu Yi sat quietly on a mountain range, where the four quasi-saints of Buddhism were arranged by Mu Yi himself to be born.

He came specifically to guide the four into the human race.

The agreement between Mu Yi and the Buddhist sect was simple: four quasi-saints from the Buddhist sect would assist Mu Yi in implementing his plan, and Mu Yi would provide fertile ground for the Buddhist sect to spread its teachings.

This is a sure-fire way for Mu Yi to make money; introducing competition is what promotes growth.

The mountain range where Mu Yi sat cross-legged was divided into four large mountains, forming a tripod that soared straight into the sky, each tens of thousands of feet high.

However, before the four quasi-saints of Buddhism were even born, an uninvited guest arrived instead.

Wearing a bright red robe blazing with flames, his mere presence caused the temperature of the surrounding space to rise sharply.

"Who are you, daring to block the Ancestor's way to Heaven?"

Mu Yi glanced at them, did some quick calculations, and immediately understood the other party's identity.

The Fire Spirit Ancestor, the first flame to be born in the Great World, merged with the divinity of the fallen sun god of the Indian pantheon, making him a native demon god. He now serves the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

Mu Yi slowly stood up and looked at the Fire Spirit Ancestor opposite him. It was fate that he had run into his hands, and he had to kill him for both reason and emotion.

Sensing Mu Yi's killing intent, the Fire Spirit Ancestor immediately unleashed a burst of flames with his right hand.

Within a thousand miles, everything was reduced to flames; no matter what mountains, rocks, grass, trees, or rare beasts, they all turned to ashes in the flames.

Even if there are some mountain spirits and monsters cultivating in the mountains, those with weaker cultivation cannot escape and will be turned into ashes.

Those who were slightly stronger barely escaped with their lives, watching in horror as the mountains were engulfed in flames.

"You beast! How dare you poison living beings!"

Just as Mu Yi was about to make his move, intense Buddhist light shone from the four mountain ranges.

The voice of Dipankara Buddha echoed through the mountains, and the boundless Buddha light firmly compressed the flames into a small space.

Fire Spirit Ancestor's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Only then did he realize that there were actually five Quasi-Saints in this small mountain range.

He immediately leaped forward, and a ball of flame burst forth beneath his feet, a hundred times more terrifying than the sun, instantly raising the surrounding temperature by an unknown amount.

Twenty-four Buddhist beads burst forth from the mountain range, trapping the Fire Spirit Ancestor in the middle.

Mu Yi clicked his tongue in amazement. As expected of the new Buddha whom the Buddhist sect wanted to support, his generosity was terrifying. He gave away twenty-four quasi-saint level Buddhist relics in one go.

It is not a simple relic; it seems to have also incorporated a magical treasure like the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, forming a 24-bead Buddhist rosary containing 24 layers of space, named the 24 Heavens.

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist, since you have already committed a grave error, why not lay down your butcher's knife and turn back to the right path!"

"Bullshit!"

The Fire Spirit Ancestor, a being of flame form, was currently trapped within the Twenty-Four Buddhist Beads. He had a fiery temper, and upon hearing Burning Lamp's words, he immediately launched into a tirade of curses.

"Stubborn to the end, since that's the case, there's nothing we can do but accept the challenge."

Seeing that Randeng had taken the initiative to attack, Mu Yi was not in a hurry to make a move, but observed the new Buddha's battle with great interest.

The Fire Spirit Ancestor is not weak, but facing a powerful lineup of three Bodhisattvas, even if he has the strength, he probably won't be able to unleash much of it.

Moreover, the Buddhist beads and magical treasures of the Twenty-Four Heavens in the hands of Randeng are incredibly powerful, and Mu Yi also wants to see their abilities.

Driven by the light of Dipankara Buddha, the twenty-four prayer beads transformed into twenty-four heavens, from which countless Buddha images appeared.

Among them are numerous Buddhist phenomena, including the simultaneous appearance of Brahma, Indra, Vajrapani, Sanjaya, Mahamayuri, Skanda, the Earth God, the Bodhi Tree God, Hariti, the Sun God, the Moon God, Sagara Dragon King, and Yama.

The Twenty-Four Heavens are the Twenty-Four Buddhist Realms, and also the Twenty-Four Formations, with each Buddhist Realm presided over by a Buddha.

The Twenty-Four Buddha Realms are not benevolent places. When Mu Yi entered them with his divine sense, even though he wasn't the target of Dipankara Buddha's attack, he could still faintly sense their terrifying nature. The Fire Spirit Ancestor first faced the Bodhi Tree Buddha Realm.

This Buddhist realm is lush and verdant, and is under a Bodhi tree. The Bodhi tree holds an extraordinary position in Buddhism. Legend has it that Shakyamuni Buddha spent seven days and seven nights under this tree contemplating the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, and finally attained enlightenment and became a Buddha.

As soon as the Fire Spirit Ancestor entered the Bodhi Tree Divine Realm, the Bodhi Tree began to grow wildly and continuously. Originally only a few feet tall, the Bodhi Tree instantly grew to hundreds or even thousands of feet tall.

In almost a moment, the entire Buddhist realm was filled with Bodhi trees, and thick Bodhi branches were everywhere in the space.

"A mere rotten tree!"

Fire Spirit Ancestor, unaware of Bodhi's true nature, unleashed a sea of ​​fire, intending to burn this entire forest to ashes.

However, the next moment, the Fire Spirit Ancestor realized that these Bodhi trees were not afraid of fire at all, and it could even be said that they did not have any physical form.

But this illusory Bodhi tree, the moment it pierced him, suddenly gained physical form.

The truth was a blur, and the real was a blur, so the Fire Spirit Ancestor had no way of knowing whether the Bodhi tree he had come into contact with was real or fake.

The Fire Spirit Ancestor didn't bother to argue and went all out, unleashing a volley of flames spanning hundreds of thousands of miles to burn down the Buddhist realm.

The explosive magical power caused the entire Buddhist realm to shake violently. If it weren't for the Buddha presiding over the Buddhist realm radiating boundless Buddhist light to stabilize the entire Buddhist realm, this Buddhist realm would have collapsed directly.

However, the Twenty-Four Heavens were not so easy to deal with. In the next instant, the Fire Spirit Ancestor's position changed to another Buddhist realm.

The endless flames spread, but they were weakened with each world they passed through. After traversing all twenty-four Buddhist realms, the flames on the Fire Spirit Ancestor's body were already quite weak.

Each of the twenty-four Buddhist realms drained a portion of the Fire Spirit Ancestor's magical power. At first, the Fire Spirit Ancestor could hold on, but after being tormented by the twenty-four Buddhist realms, his magical power was reduced to almost one-tenth.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately!"

The earth-shattering sound of the Burning Lamp descended from the sky, reverberating directly in the soul of the Fire Spirit Ancestor.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately!"

With his magical power greatly diminished, the Fire Spirit Ancestor was distracted and began to mutter Buddhist scriptures.

When the Fire Spirit Ancestor was released from the Twenty-Four Heavens, he already had a golden headband on his head.

After Sun Wukong broke out of Buddhism, this item naturally ended up in Mount Ling, and today it was used on the Fire Spirit Ancestor.

"From this day forward, you shall be called the Fire Spirit Bodhisattva. Follow me to accumulate merit and do good deeds, wash away your past sins, and strive for the Great Dao!"

"I will respectfully obey the Bodhisattva's command!"

The Fire Spirit Ancestor, or rather the Fire Spirit Bodhisattva, followed a Buddhist principle and obediently followed behind the Burning Lamp.

"Clap clap clap!"

Mu Yi clapped his hands. The fact that Ran Deng had used Buddhist light to influence a quasi-saint in his debut battle was simply unbeatable.

It's no wonder he's the next Buddha of the past; his abilities are terrifying. He's already added another Dharma protector to Buddhism since he arrived.

At this rate, who knows how many native demon saints of the demon race will be converted by Buddhism.

But for Mu Yi, it didn't matter how they dealt with the Buddhist demon saint; it was just a matter of factional conflict anyway.

The better the Buddhist community performed, the more satisfied he was.

Dipankara Buddha was clearly pleased to have caught a Dharma protector. After greeting Mu Yi, he headed straight for the nearby human tribe.

Those tribes were the missionary sites that Mu Yi had promised them.

However, right after the Buddha Dipankara left, Mu Yi still planned to clean up these four mountain ranges. After all, these mountain ranges were products of the world's evolution and could be considered immortal mountains. It would be a pity to destroy them, as they were all his property as the Heavenly Dao.

However, just as he was about to pack up, ten suns suddenly appeared in the sky.

The light emanating from the ten suns was dazzling and extremely blinding. Without even needing to calculate, one could see a spectacular sight simply by looking up: ten suns were hanging overhead above Mu Yi's head.

Ten enormous suns, lined up in a straight line.

Mu Yi was somewhat surprised to find that these ten suns were actually magical artifacts; he hadn't expected such an interesting existence among the visitors from another world.

By refining stars into magical artifacts, each sun contained immense magical power. Combined with its own mass and heat, it suddenly emitted an aura even stronger than that of the Fire Spirit Ancestor.

"Who are you? Where is the Fire Spirit Ancestor?"

Seeing that Mu Yi was alone, the other party also put away the ten suns, which shrank into beads and kept swirling in his hand. Just one glance was enough to make one feel extremely frightened.

Mu Yi calculated with his fingers and realized that this quasi-saint came from outside the world. He couldn't figure out the other party's background, but he did know the other party's name.

It was also the name the other party gave himself after adapting to local customs: Ten-Day Heavenly Lord. It was simple and straightforward, and just by hearing it, one could tell what kind of power the other party was so proud of.

The distress signal from the Fire Spirit Ancestor was the first one he received, and naturally, it arrived earliest.

"Ancestor Fire Spirit has converted to Buddhism!"

"Buddhism?"

It's not surprising that the Ten-Sun Heavenly Lord had never heard of Buddhism. Although Buddhism is renowned, there are still many worlds that have never heard of it.

In this world, Buddhism has not yet made its official debut, and as a visitor from outside the region, he naturally does not know the details of Buddhism.

"And who are you?!"

"Mu Yi!" Mu Yi introduced himself with a smile.

"Mu Yi? You are the Human Emperor of the Human Race!" The Ten-Sun Heavenly Monarch was immediately surprised. He was confident in his own strength, but not confident enough to be able to fight eight people at once.

The next moment, the Ten-Sun Heavenly Lord became excited. Although he felt that he could not fight eight people at once, he was very confident in himself and wanted to test what Mu Yi was capable of to fight eight people at once.

"Accept!"

Without any unnecessary words, ten suns were fired one after another, forming a row and bombarding Mu Yi.

"That's quite a feat!"

Mu Yi couldn't help but praise, "The ten suns are not only massive in themselves, but also contain magical power."

At this moment, the power of the ten suns was superimposed, and the power was completely concentrated at one point, exerting dozens of times the force as it smashed towards Mu Yi.

"If it were in the past, I'm afraid I would have been truly helpless if I had met you, but unfortunately you're not strong enough now!"

Mu Yi sighed. If he were in his Quasi-Saint stage, he might not be able to deal with this move; at most, he could only protect himself.

However, this move is no longer as outrageous.

Mu Yi drew his Tiger Soul Blade, raised it high, and then slashed it down suddenly.

"Reincarnation Tribulation!"

A flash of light, and the ten suns shattered instantly.

In an instant, the ten suns shattered into countless fragments, bursting forth from the sky and falling to the earth. (End of Chapter)
