The Heaven-shattering: Holding the Jade Disc of Creation

Chapter 289: The World of Bliss
---

Under the nine-layer stone tower, Zhang Shuo tore through the void, passed through the restrictions of the secret realm, and came to An Miaoyi and Jue Youqing.

An Miaoyi's smile spread like ripples, her skin was shining, her black hair was flying, her eyes were like stars, and she said, "Husband!"

"Buddha!" ​​Jue Youqing, whose white clothes were as white as snow, whose hair were as long as clouds, had a serene look, like a savior Bodhisattva, holding a green branch of Bodhi in his hand, said respectfully.

"Yeah." Zhang Shuo smiled gently at the two girls, then looked at the nine-story stone tower in front of him, his eyes sparkling.

"Let's go in." Zhang Shuo held the two girls' hands, and the three of them entered the nine-story stone tower together.

In the sky, pure mental power was like the sea, emitting a holy light that enveloped the entire world. The moment the three people entered, the divine power of faith poured down like the Milky Way and poured into the nine-story stone tower.

Zhang Shuo and the other two stepped into the stone tower. Time and space changed, and a crystal glazed ladder appeared before them. The ladder had ninety-nine steps, and various runes were engraved on it. Golden Buddha light flowed, and a peaceful and pure faith lingered in it.

Zhang Shuo looked around. This was a special space. Except for a ladder, there was nothing else. "This is a traditional test for us to climb the ladder."

"Husband, let's go!" An Miaoyi smiled charmingly and walked gracefully up the glazed ladder to heaven. Jue Youqing and Zhang Shuo followed closely behind her.

The moment the three of them climbed the stairs, they felt a heavy pressure coming over them. The more stairs they climbed, the stronger the pressure became.

"It's not the pressure acting on the body and the soul, but the pressure radiating from the five secret realms. It seems to be a test of the solidity of the foundation of cultivation."

Zhang Shuo understood the significance of this trial in an instant. Fortunately, the two girls had extremely solid foundations in cultivation, so they didn't have to worry about failing.

After an incense stick of time, the three of them reached the top. Zhang Shuo felt extremely relaxed all the way, as if he was taking a walk. An Miaoyi did not feel too much pressure either. Jue Youqing had a more difficult time, but he still managed to reach the top successfully.

At the top of the ladder sits an altar. The three of them use their divine power to activate the altar and enter the next level of trial.

The second level of trial is to be burned by karmic fire. A huge amount of faith and divine thoughts turn into karmic fire, burning and forging the body of the monk, testing the strength of the flesh.

The third level of trial is a reincarnation illusion, which makes people experience the trials of the three reincarnation worlds of greed, anger and ignorance, and tests the primordial spirit.

The fourth level of trial is a vast and boundless sea of ​​suffering. One needs to use one's own Dao as a raft and one's mind as motivation to cross the endless sea of ​​suffering. What is tested is one's Dao heart.

Afterwards, the fifth to seventh levels are trials of the past, present, and future respectively. The cultivator needs to break free from the shackles of the past, defeat the present Taoist body, and see through the difficulties of the future in order to pass these three levels.

The subsequent trials were extremely difficult. Even though Jue Youqing and An Miaoyi encountered several accidents, they were fortunately able to get through the difficulties safely thanks to Zhang Shuo's help.

Then, Zhang Shuo and the other two came to the eighth floor and entered a special world. The peaceful and pure power of faith was bestowed in this space. It was so thick that it could not be dissolved. Layer upon layer of light was rising, illuminating the entire space.

The ground was covered with golden lotuses, with traces of Tao interweaving and interweaving. The sky was full of flowers, and the Buddha's light was shining everywhere, making it sacred and peaceful.

"This seems to be a world created by faith, containing the purest Buddhist principles. For Buddhist practitioners, it is an excellent place for enlightenment." Zhang Shuo's eyes flashed with chaotic light, and he understood the essence of this world and explained to the two women.

"The ultimate truth of Buddhism!" Jue Youqing looked around, and traces of Tao between heaven and earth came into her eyes. The ultimate truth of Buddhism was fully revealed, as if the door to the avenue was open for her to comprehend.

An Miaoyi was glowing all over, her white and perfect figure sparkling with a snow-white luster, as flawless as jade.

She was wearing a wide-sleeved fairy dress, with golden Buddha light and misty purple air intertwined and wrapped around her body. The sound of Taoism and the sound of Buddha resounded together, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotus emerged from the ground, and all kinds of strange phenomena appeared.

In the sky, pure faith and divine thoughts gathered here, and thousands of auspicious rays of light fell down, covering An Miaoyi and turning into a ball of purple-gold light cocoon, suspended in the air.

"This is the transformation to enter the Great Dao." Jue Youqing said in surprise.

"Well, Miaoyi is at the seventh level of sainthood. This transformation will further perfect her own path, and she will have a smooth journey to the great saint realm from now on."

Zhang Shuo had a clear view of An Miaoyi's situation and knew that she had reached a critical period. After experiencing seven tests in the nine-story stone tower, her understanding of her own path had reached a new level.

Therefore, in a world full of pure Buddhist and Taoist principles, if one can take a crucial step on one's own path, as long as one can complete the transformation of the Great Dao, one can transcend both Taoism and Buddhism and walk out of a path that belongs only to her.

He took a step forward, his figure flashed, and he came in front of the purple-gold cocoon of light. He shot out a nine-colored light and sank into it. He took out two drops of crystal clear immortal liquid and also shot them into the light cocoon. The immortal liquid was the essence of the ancient Bodhi tree and the Enlightenment Tree, which could assist cultivators in attaining enlightenment.

After completing all this, Zhang Shuo sacrificed the Immortal Slaying Gourd and was responsible for staying here to guard the light cocoon, and then said to Jue Youqing:
"There should be no test on the eighth floor. It is a Buddhist field. There is a ninth floor behind it. The inheritance of Amitabha Buddha and Taiyin Emperor should be there. Let's move on."

Zhang Shuo came to Jue Youqing as he spoke, causing her beautiful eyes to glow. Feeling the aura beside him, her jade-like face blushed, and she whispered, "Hmm."

In the sky above the center of the field world, there is a pure skylight, inside which is the liquefied divine thoughts of faith, crystal clear and extremely pure, gurgling like a divine spring, shining brightly.

"The entrance is right there, let's go." Zhang Shuo took Jue Youqing with him, and they flashed and completely disappeared into the patio.

The next moment, they entered a strange world, where there seemed to be no distinction between time and space, and no concepts of up and down, and everywhere was filled with black and white, hazy and illusory. The moon and the sun were in harmony, and chaotic mists were flying, making people feel like they had come to the time when the world was first created.

"Hmm?!" Zhang Shuo stood in a hazy place, activating the Dao Pupil of Creation to gain insight into the surrounding environment.

After a moment, his eyes flashed with a gleam, and he raised his hand and made a stroke. A brilliant chaotic light cut through the black and white colors, breaking through this hazy world.

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, as if the world was created, the black and white gradually faded away, and the dazzling glass Buddha light appeared. An incredibly solemn Buddha land suddenly emerged, nectar fell from the sky, clear springs gushed from the ground, and Uttarakuru flowers danced in the sky. The ethereal sound of the Eight Parts of Buddhist chanting continued...

In the center of the Buddha's land is an Eight Treasures Merit Pool made up of eight treasures: gold, silver, glass, crystal, clam, red pearls, agate, and jade. It is solemn and magnificent!
The pool is filled with pure and flawless water of merit, which is transformed from endless faith and divine thoughts. It has all kinds of incredible effects and is the top-level precious liquid second only to the divine spring.

There is a platform floating on the water. It is a glazed jade platform, floating steadily on the water like a root. A colorful sacred tree takes root on the platform, emitting seven-color light of wisdom.

"Could it be the ancient Bodhi tree!" Jue Youqing exclaimed.

“That is not the ancient Bodhi tree. The real ancient Bodhi tree has already entered Nirvana. That is the remains of the ancient Bodhi tree.” Zhang Shuo explained.

The only thing left of the real ancient Bodhi tree is the Bodhi seed, which is on Ye Fan's body. It contains the mark of Sakyamuni and is a dispensable and troublesome object.

Zhang Shuo took a step forward, and his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, appearing under the remains of the Bodhi tree on the high platform, quietly observing the remains.

In the universe of the Great Ruler, many immortality elixirs have a tragic end, such as the Enlightenment Tree that was made into a coffin by the Immortal Emperor, the human-shaped immortality elixir that was swallowed by the Emperor and only part of the rhizome was left, the Qilin Divine Medicine that was squeezed dry by the Qilin Ancient Emperor, and the immortality elixir swallowed by the Source God and Source Ghost, etc. Many immortality elixirs have a tragic end, and the ancient Bodhi tree is no exception. The ancient Bodhi tree was once obtained by the Great Emperor Amitabha, and a relic was left in Mount Xumi of the Big Dipper. Later, the relic was left in the Lingshan of the Earth and the Great Leiyin Temple of the Mars.

You should know that every transformation of the ancient Bodhi tree symbolizes a rebirth of life and death. Only when most of its essence has been squeezed out will it be forced to be reborn into a Bodhi seed, leaving behind a relic.

In particular, it can be seen that the Bodhi tree has been drained at least three times, which shows its tragic end.

The Bodhi relic in front of Zhang Shuo is exactly six feet tall, a mysterious number. It is emerald green and fresh as clouds, with thousands of wisps of faith and divine thoughts lingering around it, gushing out a vast ocean of life essence.

The green leaves swayed, rustling, and the green light flickered, hanging down wisps of avenue aura. The Bodhi tree seemed to be carved from a piece of jade, and its entire body was green and brilliant.

Next to the remains of Bodhi, there is a cushion and a black stone tablet. The stone tablet is engraved with dense Taoist texts. It is the complete "Taiyin Emperor Sutra" which contains the five secret realm cultivation methods, various powerful secret methods, and forbidden techniques.

"Youqing, you sit on this cushion and gain enlightenment. This relic of the Bodhi tree contains endless Buddhist truths, and the Imperial Scripture on the stone tablet carries the rhyme of Tao left by the Emperor of Man. Combining the two will help you find your own path."

Zhang Shuo gave the best arrangement based on the current situation.

“It’s the Buddha.”

Jue Youqing smiled lightly, put his hands together, came to the cushion, sat cross-legged, concentrated his mind and energy, and comprehended the inheritance left by the two emperors.

Gradually, an aura that transcended the three realms emanated from her body, and she revealed a tranquil and beautiful smile, just like the gods and Buddhas who smiled while holding flowers in their hands, as if they were transcending the mundane world, ethereal and vivid.

Behind her, a pure and flawless white lotus appeared, and a stunning Bodhisattva sat cross-legged on the lotus platform. She was extremely beautiful, looking around, with a temperament that was calm and elegant, noble and holy, and she was filled with a sense of great freedom, great bliss, great freedom, and great joy.

At the same time, the Bodhi remains fell off, and Zhang Shuo sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, as quiet as a rock. He had a special aura, and strands of great opportunities overflowed from his body and spread into the distance.

The remains of the six-foot-tall Bodhi statue fell down, and a Buddha statue emerged behind Zhang Shuo. The Buddha had a handsome face, as if he had gathered all the most beautiful things in the world, which made people fall in love with him at first sight, but his appearance was also solemn, full of wisdom and peace, which made people admire and worship him for no reason.

His eyes were compassionate and joyful, seeing through the mysteries of the world. They fell on the Bodhisattva behind Jue Youqing. He smiled brightly, clasped his hands together, and nodded slightly.

"I am the Tathagata of Great Joy and Freedom. I wish to save all sentient beings, practice the Bodhisattva path, and create a paradise for all sentient beings, where they can be free and at ease."

The Buddha's voice resounded through heaven and earth, causing the yin and yang energies to resonate, chaotic mists and clouds flew, and a breath of creation spread.

Zhang Shuo opened his eyes, and the Buddha behind him merged into his body. Suddenly, his whole body released blazing Buddha light, and brilliant golden lotus blossomed around him, just like the Buddha born from the lotus.

He shot out chaotic energy, and with the high platform as the center, the Buddha land released five-colored light. Chaos gave rise to yin and yang, yin and yang transformed into heaven and earth, evolving the world of the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, the nine layers of heaven inside the nine-story stone tower collapsed, and the origin was reorganized to give birth to the twenty-four worlds, and the twenty-four heavens rose and fell.

The Buddha's land fell into the highest heavenly world, achieving the Pure Land of Bliss and Joy. The Immortal-Slaying Gourd with a purple-golden light cocoon fell beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pond.

Zhang Shuo and Jue Youqing sat opposite each other, their eyes met. A big sun and an ancient moon rose behind each other. The solar force and the lunar force spread out. The black and white energies intertwined, the yin and yang gave birth to each other, and all creation was complete.

Jue Youqing smiled, with a peerless beauty, and a smile that captivated the whole city. For a moment, the entire Pure Land of Buddha became dim. He said, "Buddha, be merciful. Please allow me to practice the Bodhisattva Path."

The ancient moon is bright, and the moonlight is like snow, turning into fairy feathers and floating down. The water in the pool is dotted with light, misty and ethereal.

Soon, a holy white lotus bloomed completely. The lotus petals were crystal clear and the dew was crystal clear, overflowing. The clear water droplets flowed along the jade petals, dripped across the tip of the flower and fell to the ground, making a ticking sound.

The lotus is surrounded by rosy clouds, like a feather robe. The white and crystal waist of the flower has undulating curves, and the slender and straight roots are supported on the high platform, trembling slightly.

The pure and perfect lotus sparkles with a snow-white luster, like jade. Its delicate core flows with crystal clear jade liquid. The lotus fragrance is subtle, rich and fragrant, intoxicating.

Watered by the divine spring that contains tremendous vitality, the pure white lotus becomes more beautiful and full of vitality.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Shuo and Jue Youqing woke up from their enlightenment.

At the same time, the purple-gold cocoon turned into light feathers and dispersed, and An Miaoyi also transformed successfully.

She is like a celestial being who is not tainted by the mundane world, standing gracefully with an otherworldly beauty, like a white lotus with rolling dewdrops, or like a fresh snow lotus on a snowy mountain.

Zhang Shuo looked at the two girls who had just woken up, smiled gently, and then slapped the black stone tablet next to the remains of Bodhi.

"boom!"

The stone tablet shattered with a sound. All the contents engraved on it were already known. In addition, the Tao rhyme inherited by the Human Emperor was absorbed by Jue Youqing, and it lost its meaning of existence.

Moreover, Zhang Shuo's Taoist pupils saw through the secret of the stone tablet, making him decide to smash it.

The broken stone tablet revealed the treasure hidden inside, which was a pitch-black fragment with a dragon-patterned black gold texture, like a broken corner of some artifact.

"A fragment of the Human Emperor Seal? I didn't expect that in addition to the fragment deep in the Taiyin Mountains, there is actually another one. Could it be that the broken corner of the Human Emperor Seal has more than one fragment?"

Zhang Shuo's eyes were deep. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the fragment, put it into the Ancient Chaos Realm, and handed it to Jiang Tingting.

"Husband, have you obtained all the inheritance?" An Miaoyi said softly.

She danced lightly in a white dress, which, combined with her transformed temperament, made her look lofty and ethereal, as if she were to fly like a fairy in the clouds, detached from the mundane world.

"Well, everything has been collected. We can leave here." Zhang Shuo looked at Jue Youqing gently. Her originally peaceful and calm face couldn't help but flushed. Her beautiful eyes dodged and she was shy.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the space of the stone tower shook violently, the twenty-four heavens trembled, and two powerful auras penetrated the stone tower and poured in from the outside world.

"This is... the aura of a holy body and a domineering body. The holy body must be Ye Fan, and the domineering body should be the overlord. But this aura is too strong." Jue Youqing frowned and asked in confusion.

Zhang Shuo sneered and said meaningfully, "It's really surprising. I didn't expect Tyrant to be able to do this. Their fox tail can no longer be hidden."
