The Heaven-shattering: Holding the Jade Disc of Creation

Chapter 322: First Encounter with the Great Peacock King Sweeping Mount Xumi

Beidou Continent
In the far west, on the vast desert and the boundless continent, the Western Desert is the soil of Buddhism and there are too many Buddhist traditions here.

In the Western Desert, the Great Leiyin Temple on Mount Xumi is undoubtedly the most famous. It is the center of the entire Western Land and the foundation of Buddhism, and it is irreplaceable.

However, in addition to these, the ancient holy temples such as the Hanging Temple, Landuo Temple and Shenxia Temple are also extraordinary and are also Buddhist holy places and are of great importance.

Landuo Temple is a famous temple in the world with a long history. It was originally just an ancient Buddhist temple, and later gradually became a holy temple.

According to legend, the great Buddha Amitabha once preached here for forty-nine days. Nectar appeared on the ground, divine lotus grew in the sky, and all kinds of strange phenomena occurred, shocking the world.

As one of the top holy places in Buddhism, Landuo Temple has a huge base of believers and an extremely profound heritage.

However, even such an ancient Buddhist holy place has undergone tremendous changes at its core. The Buddhist path that it pursues and believes in has changed from the Nirvana path of Amitabha the Great to the Buddhist path of freedom and joy.

In the Zhetian Universe, Amitabha the Great Emperor, as the founder and highest achiever of Buddhism, is the supreme being believed by all Buddhists in the entire universe. The Buddhist path pursued by all Buddhists is also the path of Amitabha the Great Emperor.

In the Western Desert, even Sakyamuni, who is half of the Buddha Amitabha, was denounced as a Buddha demon by the orthodox Buddhist sect in the Western Desert and was not recognized.

But in the Western Desert Buddhist land where orthodox Buddhism and Taoism are predominant, for unknown reasons, a large number of Buddhist believers were lost in a short period of time, resulting in a large reduction in the source of faith in gods.

Because the Free and Joyful Buddhist Path secretly developed by An Miaoyi and Jue Youqing penetrated into the grassroots Buddhist believers and assimilated a considerable number of middle-level Buddhists, they even successfully incorporated the Landha Monastery, one of the holy places of Buddhism, into the Free and Joyful Buddhist Path.

This led to the orthodox Buddhism, which had once flourished, losing a considerable portion of the source of its faith and divine ideas.

With such a thing happening, Mount Xumi, the core holy place of Buddhism, was naturally extremely angry. Under the instructions of the top leaders, all the major Buddhist sects conducted a crazy investigation at all costs and finally found some clues.

"whoosh"

Above a Buddhist holy site in the Western Desert, a sacred golden peacock spread its wings and flew over, with bursts of Zen sounds and melodious and ethereal golden light filling the air. A beautiful figure was sitting cross-legged on it.

The female Buddha has a slender figure and wears a dazzling golden crown on her head. The crown is engraved with a picture of the Buddha's enlightenment, which contains the mysteries of Buddhism and is majestic and sacred.

There is a necklace around her neck, made of magical beads and beautiful jade, shaped like a coiled dragon, with the images of heavenly bodhisattvas imprinted on it, and the sound of chanting can be heard faintly.

Each of these artifacts is a precious Buddhist artifact, a supreme treasure of Buddhism and Taoism that the ancient Buddha spent his entire life refining. They naturally flow with astonishing vibrations, are extremely powerful and sacred, and emit a crystal clear luster.

The woman had a face like a silver plate, eyes like lightning, beautiful and noble, and possessed a great majesty. She was dressed in white, shining brightly. Her temperament was very different from that of ordinary people. She had attained the Buddhahood of Buddhism, and her temperament was extraordinary and otherworldly, like a high and mighty god.

The Great Peacock King stands on the back of a golden peacock and looks into the distance. In front of him is a magnificent ancient temple. In the sunset, it is dyed with golden glow, looking sacred and solemn.

There are Bodhi trees everywhere, orchids falling in the air, the fragrance is refreshing, the incense is very strong, there are many Buddhists bowing their heads, and a large number of people come here to make pilgrimage every year.

An ancient road leads to the mountain gate. The road is crowded with devout believers, bowing their heads with every step.

She activated her wisdom eye and saw that the entire ancient temple was bathed in the purest mental power. The light was brilliant and broke through the clouds, grand and vast.

“This is Lando Monastery, the sacred pure land where the great Buddha Amitabha preached and attained enlightenment. I never expected that a rebellious Buddha-demon would appear here!”

The Great Peacock King frowned slightly, her delicate body radiated infinite Buddha light, her lotus feet wrapped in golden lotus shoes moved lightly, and the golden peacock under her seat chirped softly, making her look like a deity, sacred and inviolable.

The next moment, ripples appeared in the void, and a thin and withered old monk walked out. He bowed to the Great Peacock King and said:

"Buddha is merciful. I didn't know that the Great Peacock King Venerable was coming to visit, and Landa Temple failed to welcome him."

The Great Peacock King's beautiful eyes flickered as he looked at the seemingly respectful old monk and asked, "Are you the abbot of Landa Temple?"

"May Buddha have mercy on me. I am the abbot of this generation's Lando Monastery. My Buddhist name is Kujie. I wonder why the Great Ming King broke into the Lando Monastery with such a threatening momentum!" Abbot Kujie spoke in a calm tone, but his words were very firm.

"There have been problems with Buddhist beliefs recently. Xumi Mountain suspects that a Buddhist demon has appeared in the Landa Temple, so I am being sent here to handle it."

The Great Peacock King did not hide anything and stated his purpose directly.

Kujie's face turned bitter when he heard this. He knew very well that once he was suspected, it was basically a certainty and there was no room for maneuver. He secretly activated the divine power in his body, and just when he was about to take action, a Buddhist woman appeared before him.

The woman was dressed in flawless white, with black hair like clouds, reciting Buddhist scriptures, transcending the mundane world. She had an aura that seemed to have jumped out of the three realms, just like the gods and Buddhas who smiled while picking flowers, as if she was not in this world, ethereal and vivid.

The golden lotus seal between her eyebrows and her jade-like skin are shining. She has a slender figure and black hair like clouds, and she has a pure and moving beauty.

The woman in white smiled and said, "Buddha is merciful and has enlightened sentient beings to meet the Great Peacock King."

The Great Peacock King looked into Jue Youqing's eyes and said with emotion: "It is you, Western Bodhisattva—Jue Youqing."

She carefully looked at Jue Youqing in front of her, and the more she looked, the more amazed she was. The other party was only a hundred years old, but he was a Bodhisattva at the Saint King level. He was naturally intelligent and had an extremely deep Buddha nature. His Buddhist cultivation was unfathomable, as if he had walked out of the true path of Buddha, which was shocking.

"Jue Youqing, as a representative sent by Mount Xumi, I would like to ask you two questions."

Upon hearing this, Jue Youqing nodded and signaled the other party to continue.

"First, why did you betray Buddhism? Second, do you have any connection with the Chaos Dynasty? Or are you an undercover agent sent by the Chaos Dynasty?"

The questions raised by the Great Peacock King were very sharp and pointed out clearly, directly pointing out that Jue Youqing might be related to the Chaos Immortal Dynasty.

Jue Youqing smiled and said, "The Buddha we believe in is the Buddha of Freedom and Joy. He is only one side of the Chaos Emperor. Chaos encompasses everything and contains all Taos. Taoism and Buddha are both one of them."

After receiving the other party's affirmative reply, the Great Peacock King frowned, thinking that the worst situation had happened. He thought to himself:

“It’s really the Chaos Immortal Dynasty. I didn’t expect that the Western Desert would be eroded to this extent without anyone noticing. Even the Buddhist holy land and the future Buddhist girl betrayed Buddhism.

However, things have come to this point, and we must find a way to resolve it as soon as possible. Without endangering anyone's life, we must first capture Jue Youqing, and then slowly make plans."

Thinking of this, the beautiful eyes of the Great Peacock King flashed with a gleam of light, and his whole body was filled with vast Buddha light. The power of the heavens surged up, surging along the arm and covering the big hand.

She seemed to be wearing a divine robe made of the power of faith, which was extremely powerful, flawless, and extremely condensed. This was an extremely terrifying magical power.

The next moment, she stepped out directly and came in front of Jue Youqing in an instant. She raised her hand and grabbed him. The power of faith roared like a surging sea and vast like an ocean, sweeping towards Jue Youqing and drowning him.

"Boom!" A blazing light penetrated the ocean of faith, and a field of eternal rebellion spread out, repelling the great King Kongming.

It is seen that there is a sentient being standing in the curling mist, with an ancient imperial axe on his head, white clothes fluttering, his body is as clear as colorful glass, emitting Buddha's light, as if in a dream.

"Emperor Soldier! Does the Heavenly Emperor value you so much? Do you also value me?"

The Great Peacock King's body trembled, and she felt something was wrong. She had not expected that Jue Youqing had such a high status in the Chaos Immortal Dynasty and even had the ultimate imperial weapon to protect him.

She smiled warmly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with happiness, and her delicate hands unconsciously covered her cheeks, as if she was immersed in some memories.

Her performance made the Great Peacock King tremble all over and sweat profusely, which showed his inner fear.

"Alas! You actually bully my lovely girl. This is not a good behavior."

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the Great Peacock King's ear. The breath so close to her made her body tremble slightly, and the golden peacock under her feet trembled even more. Unspeakable fear kept surging in her heart. The next moment, a slender arm embraced her slender and soft waist, locking this top female cultivator who was half a step away from becoming an emperor. The source of divine power in her body was imprisoned, and her soul and divine thoughts were suppressed, making her unable to move at all.

The Great Peacock King glanced sideways with difficulty, and saw that Zhang Shuo had appeared beside her at some point and easily controlled her, leaving her no ability to resist at all.

Her delicate body was feeling a little hot, the man's breath was like a scorching furnace, her delicate face like mutton-fat jade was flushed, her crystal skin exposed by the hem of her skirt became pink and rosy, like a flower just blooming.

Zhang Shuo embraced the limp body, looked up in the direction of Mount Xumi, and a sneer appeared on his calm face.

"You want to use the Great Peacock King to test my bottom line. It's really a fantasy. When faced with sugar-coated bullets, I always eat the sugar coating and throw the bullet back."

He put his fingers together to form a sword and lightly slashed at the void. The sword intent split the layers of space and opened up a space channel.

Zhang Shuo raised his left hand and embraced Jue Youqing in his arms. Feeling the warmth of two delicate bodies, he took a step forward and disappeared into the space passage.

Sumiya

A space passage appeared at the foot of Mount Xumi, and Zhang Shuo brought the two girls to this sacred Buddhist mountain.

Mount Sumeru is so huge, soaring in the sky, so majestic and vast that it can pierce the sky, fill the ocean, span ancient and modern times, and be immortal for eternity.

Standing in front of it, one feels deeply one's own insignificance, like an ant looking up at the galaxy. It is out of proportion and one feels deeply one's own frailty.

"Emperor of Heaven, this is all my fault. It has nothing to do with Mount Xumi. You are the dignified Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of the Chaos Immortal Dynasty. Please spare Mount Xumi."

When the Great Peacock King saw Zhang Shuo bringing them to Mount Xumi, he realized that something was wrong and quickly pleaded for mercy.

Zhang Shuo ignored her, let go of the two women, handed them over to Jue Youqing, and went to Mount Xumi alone.

"No, we can't do this. Jue Youqing, you were once the Saint of Mount Xumi. Considering the kindness that Buddhism has shown you, please dissuade the Emperor of Heaven."

The Great Peacock King had no choice but to seek help from Jue Youqing, who was guarding her.

"Don't worry, sister Kongque. My husband will not harm the Buddhists on Mount Xumi. He will just change his beliefs. We are still on the Buddhist path, just in a different direction."

Jue Youqing naturally would not dissuade Zhang Shuo, and he even looked forward to the day when the Buddhist land of Western Desert would return to the Buddhist path of freedom and joy.

On Mount Xumi, Zhang Shuo took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of the Great Leiyin Temple. Looking at the Buddhist holy place in front of him, it was much grander than the Leiyin Temple on Yinghuo.

"Bang."

The gate of Leiyin Temple opened automatically, and a short, thin old monk walked out quickly. He had a sad face, snow-white eyebrows, and a wrinkled face. He was wearing a cassock with the sun, moon, and stars shaking on it. He chanted the Buddha's name:

"Amitabha, I didn't expect that the Chaos Emperor would come here in person. We are sorry for not welcoming him."

Zhang Shuo's eyes flashed with chaotic light, and the old monk's true and false identity was clearly visible.

The old monk's body was filled with blood and energy, and he had obviously cultivated a powerful golden body of Nirvana. He also had extremely strong Buddha power and extremely condensed Buddha thoughts, and was obviously a quasi-emperor monk.

Zhang Shuo was not surprised that a quasi-emperor monk had appeared in Buddhism. The practice of Buddhism was based on faith and was not restricted by the environment, so high-level monks appeared.

But this is both a good thing and a bad thing. If Buddhist practitioners do not get rid of their belief in Amitabha Buddha, their future will be blocked and they will have no hope of becoming the great emperor.

"Quasi-Emperor Sixth Heaven, Beidou Buddhism does not have a person like you. It seems that you are from the Amitabha Star Region. No wonder the Chaos Immortal Dynasty did not encounter any masters of Buddhism when it ruled the universe. It seems that they all gathered in Mount Xumi."

The old monk's bright eyes flashed with Buddha's light. Facing the Chaos Emperor in front of him, even though he was extremely struggling and afraid in his heart, for the sake of his own beliefs, he still spoke:

"May I ask the Heavenly Emperor if our Buddhist sect has any room for maneuver this time?"

Zhang Shuo's face was calm, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. He said calmly, "I don't reject Buddhism, but the object of Buddhist belief needs to be changed."

Upon hearing this, the old monk closed his eyes helplessly. To Buddhism, faith and Tao are the same. To change faith is tantamount to changing one's own Tao, which is naturally unacceptable.

"In this case, even if we overestimate our own capabilities, we have no choice but to fight the Emperor of Heaven."

"Dang Om Mani Padme Hum!"

In the Great Leiyin Temple, the sound of bells was long and deep, the sound of Buddha was resounding, the six-character mantra of Buddhism resounded through the heaven and earth, and a prosperous atmosphere appeared one after another. Several Buddhist sages, including the Fighting Saint Buddha and the Moka Ancient Buddha, hundreds of Bodhisattvas and Arhats appeared together. (Quasi-Emperor Sage, Great Saint Ancient Buddha, Saint King Bodhisattva, Saint Arhat)
At the same time, a purple-gold pestle fell into the old monk's hands. The purple-gold luster flowed, revealing an aura that could suppress things for eternity.

This is the imperial weapon of Amitabha the Great—the demon-subduing pestle!

The Buddhists, with several quasi-emperors as the core, formed a Buddhist battle formation, coordinated with the perfect Buddha Emperor formation of Mount Sumeru, and the imperial soldier, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, carrying the endless power of Buddhist faith, to suppress the enemy!

"break!"

Zhang Shuo's pupils flickered, he raised his hand and pointed, the chaotic divine power wrapped around his fingertips flew out, piercing through the void and hitting the weak point of the formation, easily breaking the battle formation and the magic formation.

"Boom!"

The collapse of the magic array and the battle formation caused a chain reaction. The power of the emperor's array and the emperor's soldiers ran wild. The violent power of the extreme way flooded the heaven and earth. All the Buddhists were swallowed up in an instant. The avenue roared, and the emperor's power was mighty, bursting out with the power to destroy the world.

"Pfft!"

The blazing Buddha's light dissipated, and several quasi-emperors and sages in the lead vomited blood. They used themselves as a wall to block the outbreak of the ultimate divine power and protect a group of Buddhist monks.

Therefore, the golden bodies of several quasi-emperors and sages of Buddhism were shattered, their flesh bodies were covered with scars and blood, and they looked extremely miserable.

"Mr. Supreme!"

"Hurry up and get the precious medicine to heal Zhixian's injuries!"

"..."

Zhang Shuo took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of the Buddhists. Looking at the monks who were so nervous that they were trembling and dared not take action, he sent out several ray of life energy to heal the injuries of several quasi-emperors.

Before the Buddhists could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Shuo directly chanted the Art of Saving Gods. His voice was so long and melodious that it echoed throughout the entire Mount Xumi, converting all the monks in this Buddhist holy land.

At the foot of Mount Sumeru, the Great Peacock King heard the Secret of Saving Gods and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Although Zhang Shuo's Soul-Saving Technique deliberately avoided her, she learned from Jue Youqing the effect of the Soul-Saving Technique, and knew that the entire Western Desert Buddhism could not escape the fate of having its beliefs tampered with.

Such an ending made her feel both desperate and relieved. After all, facing an invincible enemy was too painful.

Zhang Shuo, who successfully converted the entire Mount Xumi, did not take any other action. Instead, he stood quietly in the void, waiting for the next great change.
