now!

The Hongmeng purple energy has already taken shape, which means that everything is ready and we are just waiting for the future.

"Now, we just have to wait for the catastrophe to begin."

Zhao Feng smiled slightly and raised his hand to take away the Hongmeng purple energy that was emitting a purple halo.

Although the Hongmeng Purple Qi has taken shape, he knows in his heart that now is far from the right time for the Hongmeng Purple Qi to appear in the world.

We must wait until the catastrophe is over and until the truth becomes clear.

This is the game.

The plan was set up by Zhao Feng himself to divide the Buddhist sect.

of course.

This time, Zhao Feng's main purpose in seclusion was to refine the Chaos Bell, which naturally could not be delayed.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in a flash.

Inside Xianyang City, the sun poured down, casting a golden glow on the towering meditation platform.

Sitting on the meditation platform, Qin Xuanzang, wearing a plain monk's robe, sat upright on a cushion, his eyes closed, his face as calm as water.

During the more than ten years of preaching, he silently endured the baptism of time, and regardless of wind or rain, he has always been on the meditation platform, never stopping for more than ten years, preaching to the many monks who came to listen to his teachings, allowing countless monks to understand themselves and achieve breakthroughs and improvements in their cultivation.

at this time!

Xuanzang's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of Buddha's light appeared.

"Seventeen years of teaching ends today."

Xuanzang's voice was gentle and mellow, with a power that could penetrate the void, and it echoed slowly.

"My trip to Xianyang this time can be considered a complete success."

Say it.

Xuanzang slowly put his hands together, with a smile of fulfillment on his face, and whispered: "Amitabha."

As the sound rose, it spread in all directions along the void and accurately fell into the ears of the many monks who were listening below.

For ordinary people, a dozen years is a long time long enough to change countless things.

During this period, the appearance of ordinary people will age and their lives will undergo various changes. But for the monks who have embarked on the path of cultivation, it is just a blink of an eye, as if it is just the time of a breath or a meditation.

Below the stage, the densely packed monks were immersed in the afterglow of Xuanzang’s sermons.

Some of them closed their eyes in deep thought, with an intoxicated look on their faces, as if they were still savoring the exquisite Buddhist teachings; others smiled, as if under the guidance of Xuanzang's teachings, the confusion in their hearts had been resolved.

When they saw Xuanzang stop preaching, many monks woke up from their dreams and showed disappointment on their faces. Their slightly frowned brows and soft sighs showed that they were still not satisfied.

"Thank you Master Xuanzang for your teachings!"

A young monk was the first to come to his senses. He raised his head excitedly, with a pious face, and shouted loudly to Xuanzang.

"I have gained a lot from listening to the Master's teachings this time!"

"Thank you, Master Xuanzang!"

"Thank you..."

At that moment, hundreds of thousands of monks sitting under the meditation platform spoke one after another, their voices rising and falling like surging waves, one after another, expressing their most sincere gratitude to Xuanzang.

Seeing this scene, Xuanzang nodded slightly, a gentle smile appeared on his face, very kind.

These waves of gratitude may also be a testament to his seventeen years of preaching.

immediately.

Xuanzang stood up and walked slowly downwards step by step with steady movements.

With every step he took, a golden lotus grew under his feet, emitting a soft light that illuminated the surrounding void.

He was surrounded by a shining Buddha's light, like a holy monk who had descended to the earth. He exuded an awe-inspiring aura that made people want to get closer and worship him.

This is the holy monk, master, who has been recognized by countless people in the Qin Dynasty.

This time!

The ascetic monk who was the incarnation of Guanyin was waiting quietly by the side. She witnessed Xuanzang walking down from the meditation platform and knew in her heart that the time that Buddhism had been carefully planning for for a long time was now ripe.

"Master Xuanzang."

The ascetic monk, the incarnation of Guanyin, slowly stepped forward and blocked Xuanzang's way. She quickly put her hands together and said loudly: "You have now mastered the Great Qin Buddhism to a high level. I wonder if you are interested in learning other Buddhist teachings?"

In this life, Jin Chanzi's memory has not yet awakened. Xuanzang looked at the ascetic monk who suddenly appeared in front of him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes and his brows slightly furrowed, but he was unable to see through his true identity.

"You are my Great Qin ascetic monk. Like me, you are a fellow monk."

Xuanzang spoke calmly and slowly, "Why do you say such things?"

"Between heaven and earth, Buddhism is divided into three parts: the Mahayana Buddhism of Lingshan, the Hinayana Buddhism of the mortal world, and the Buddhism of my Great Qin."

"I have dabbled in all three of these Buddhist teachings."

"For all living beings, the Buddha Dharma of our Great Qin is the most superior, while the so-called Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism are too empty. They are just the methods used by the Buddha to rule over mortals and fool all living beings."

"What use is there for me to learn Buddhism?"

"The Great Qin Buddhism is the way to salvation for all living beings, and it is the way to bless all living beings."

As Guanyin and Xuanzang finished their words, the monks gathered around them all turned their eyes to Guanyin, their eyes filled with disgust and hostility.

After all, although Daqin is a huge country with more than one hundred billion people, because of the laws and regulations of Daqin, everyone is united against the outside world and shares the same hatred of the enemy.

At this moment, Guanyin suddenly mentioned Mahayana Buddhism, which actually made her look like a Buddhist.

"Is this my Great Qin's ascetic monk?"

"What's so good about the Mahayana Buddhism of Lingshan? Why did they let Master Xuanzang learn it?"

"There must be a conspiracy." A young monk said loudly with indignation on his face.

"The so-called Mahayana Buddhism of Lingshan is a joke!"

"Although I am not a Buddhist, I have some understanding of Mahayana Buddhism."

"This so-called Mahayana Buddhism actually emphasizes the afterlife. It's like if you are a beggar or a slave in this life, you have to accept your fate and not complain. You can be liberated in the next life and become a noble in one fell swoop."

"After reading this Mahayana Buddhist theory, I was really furious!"

"This Mahayana Buddhism was created by those so-called immortals and Buddhas to control our human race and make us lose the will to resist. Their intentions are so sinister!"

"That's right! If everyone practices Mahayana Buddhism, it will become a joke. How can our Great Qin compete with the heavens? And with the gods and immortals?"

“If our Great Qin had followed the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism and accepted our fate when we first arrived in the Earthly Immortal Realm, there would be no Great Qin today.” “My fellow human beings on the Dongsheng Divine Continent would forever be livestock raised by the immortals, having their spirit energy sucked away and their flesh and blood eaten by them.”

"What a ridiculous Mahayana Buddhism! My Great Qin Buddhism is the way to salvation for all living beings, the root of salvation..."

The monks around were talking to each other in indignation and full of ridicule towards the so-called Mahayana Buddhism. No one believed that it could bring true liberation.

Their voices intertwined together, forming a powerful wave of sound, as if to completely drown out this so-called Mahayana Buddhism.

after all.

Today's people of the Great Qin are no longer the mortals who were once kept in captivity by the Heavenly Court. Six or seven hundred years have passed, and the Dongsheng Continent has undergone tremendous changes.

Guanyin listened quietly to the discussions around her, her expression calm and unperturbed.

During the past five hundred years, she has traveled the world as a mortal, and has long been familiar with the essence of Daqin Buddhism. She is also well aware of the huge differences between Lingshan Mahayana Buddhism and Daqin Buddhism.

Just as the monks around her said, she had no way to refute it for a moment. After all, even she herself, under the influence of the Great Qin Buddhism, realized the true path of Buddhism.

however!
Guanyin ignored these doubts. She looked at Xuanzang again with a calm and determined look, and said in a different way: "The way of Buddhism has its own uses."

"Perhaps in your heart, there are strong and weak paths in Buddhism, and the Great Qin Buddhism is the superior one."

"But now the Southern Continent and the Western Continent, which are heading west, are all based on Lingshan Mahayana Buddhism. Don't you want to spread the Great Qin Buddhism to the West?"

Guanyin narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of smile on her lips, staring at Xuanzang, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Hearing this, Xuanzang, who originally had a scrutinizing look in his eyes, immediately had a ripple in his eyes and his expression changed significantly.

He lowered his head slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, he raised his head with a firm light in his eyes.

"Mahayana Buddhism is a way to enslave sentient beings."

"To make sentient beings submit to their fate and lose their ambition is not a good Buddhist practice."

Xuanzang frowned slightly, and with a tone that showed doubt about Mahayana Buddhism, he told Guanyin what he was thinking.

"Xuanzang, this is what you think in your heart, and it is also what countless Buddhist practitioners in the Qin Heavenly Court think in their hearts."

"In the eyes of the Buddhists of Daqin, Daqin Buddhism is the orthodox way to save all living beings. However, for the Buddhists in the west, the Mahayana Buddhism they practice is the orthodox one."

"What is the fundamental reason behind this is still up for debate between the two sides."

"Western Buddhism wants to spread to the East, and Eastern Daqin Buddhism also wants to spread to the West."

"Xuanzang, you are the Buddhist master of Daqin. Don't you want to spread Buddhism for Daqin?"

"Debate with Western Buddhism and bring the Great Qin Buddhism to the West?"

Guanyin pressed on step by step, speaking earnestly, with the expectation in her eyes becoming stronger and stronger, and she got to the point completely.

According to the original plan of Buddhism, Xuanzang's journey to the West was to bring the Western Mahayana Buddhism from Lingshan back to Daqin, thereby greatly boosting the fortune of Buddhism and allowing the Lingshan Mahayana Buddhism to spread in Daqin.

However, all this stems from the wishful thinking of Duobao and Buddhism.

If the territory of Daqin was still a mortal kingdom, their methods might have had a chance to spread Buddhism and plunder Daqin's fortune.

But Daqin is now a veritable country of cultivation, with all its citizens being cultivators. Even if their Buddhism were to enter Daqin, it would only become a laughing stock.

After all, the Qin Dynasty already had its own popular Buddhism. The national policy of the Qin Dynasty was for all people to practice and fight against the heavens in order to gain control of the world by the human race, rather than choosing to give in and give up the fight when facing the immortals, gods and Buddhas. Their Buddhism had no soil to survive in the Qin Dynasty.

"Daoyou, this method is indeed feasible."

Xuanzang nodded slightly, with a firm look in his eyes: "The people of Jambudvīpa and Xiniuhe have suffered from the so-called Mahayana Buddhism for a long time, and even more so from the enslavement of Buddhism."

"As a Buddhist practitioner, I should save all living beings and let them know the true path of Buddhism in the West."

"In that case, I will immediately go to the Heavenly Palace to meet His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and ask him to compile the Buddhist scriptures of our Great Qin and spread the Dharma westward."

Perhaps it was the call of mission, or perhaps it was the pull of the catastrophe, or perhaps it was Xuanzang's ambition to save the world. After hearing Guanyin's proposal, he had no intention of objecting at all. Instead, he felt a yearning and accepted it with pleasure.

now.

It seemed that Xuanzang had found his mission, a mission that was more beneficial than preaching within the Qin territory, a mission to save all living beings.

If all sentient beings who practice Buddhism in the world learn the Great Qin Buddhism, then all sentient beings will be able to obtain the way to salvation.

"Great Master Xuanzang!"

"If you want to spread the Buddhism of our Great Qin, I am willing to follow you and protect you on your journey westward!"

"I am willing too! It is said that there are countless demons in the Southern Continent, and the evil gods are in power, feeding on the flesh and blood of our human race. Although the master has profound Buddhist teachings, he has not cultivated the power of Buddha. We should protect the master."

"That's right..."

Upon hearing Xuanzang's decision, many Qin monks who were listening to the sermon spoke up one after another with earnest words, vying to protect Xuanzang's journey to the West to spread the Dharma.

Their voices were firm and powerful, resounding like a huge bell, expressing their support for Xuanzang and their enthusiasm for promoting the Great Qin Buddhism.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators gathered here, among whom there were countless immortals, and even a few who had reached the realm equivalent to Daluo.

One can imagine how powerful Daqin is today.

Even Guanyin was stunned.

"In the Qin court territory, Xuanzang did not expect to have such appeal."

There was a flash of surprise in Guanyin's eyes. She frowned slightly and thought to herself, if Xuanzang had so many powerful people protecting him on his journey to the West, could this still be considered a journey to the West?
How can the catastrophe proceed smoothly?

"Traveling westward is the invisible trend of heaven."

“This is Xuanzang’s Dharma.”

"The journey to the west is the beginning of a great catastrophe. Only Master Xuanzang and those destined to travel to the west can participate in it. Those who are not destined to travel to the west cannot go with it."

Guanyin's expression changed and she immediately spoke, trying to stop these monks.

As she spoke, her tone was filled with the solemnity of the journey to the West, and she hoped that by relying on the words of the great trend of Heaven's Way, the monks would give up the idea of ​​following Xuanzang on his journey to the West.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Guanyin's words fell, it was like lighting a powder keg, immediately causing many monks to glare at her angrily.

Many monks were immediately filled with anger and dissatisfaction, staring at Guanyin closely, and the hostility that had originally dissipated reappeared.

"Damn destiny, this is simply a joke!" A hot-tempered monk jumped up and cursed loudly.

"That's right! In the past, God had destined us humans to be livestock. If it weren't for the Qin Dynasty, we humans would have died long ago."

"The so-called destiny is nothing more than what is determined by the heavens. It is really ridiculous!"

"Sooner or later, we will follow the Qin Dynasty and overturn this so-called destiny!"

"Well said! When the Qin Dynasty attacks the Heavenly Palace someday, we will follow them and kill those hypocritical immortals and gods!"

"Kill them all..." (End of this chapter)
