I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 835 Past and Present Life
"Now that the consecration is complete, all the Buddhas will return to their positions. There will be three hundred years of peace."

After the Buddha Tathagata evaluated the merits of the team, he mentioned the number of three hundred years.

Jiang Ming was naturally aware of this. He probably had already calculated that the catastrophe was coming. He couldn't avoid it. He could only endure it.

In his previous life as Wu Tian Mo Zu, Jiang Ming was also a quasi-saint at the level of Great Perfection, lawless, with the protection of the Primordial Spirit Black Lotus, and immortal. Even the Tathagata Buddha abandoned Lingshan and reincarnated and ran away.

Of course, Jiang Ming admired Guanyin in this parallel universe the most. He also knew that, in fact, his dark side was not because I liked someone.

When he was Wu Tian in this life and was still a Kinnara Bodhisattva, he went to Jambudvīpa to use Buddhism to influence the evil people. He met Ah Xiu, and in the process of getting along with Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu was moved by Kinnara's kindness and fell in love with Kinnara. In the end, Ah Xiu also died of love for Kinnara, just to let Kinnara see that she was no longer herself.

Jiang Ming was very clear about one thing, that Kinnara actually did not like Ah Xiu, because after Kinnara buried Ah Xiu, he wanted to stay there and continue to influence people with the Dharma, but because Ah Xiu died, the Buddha of the Buddhist world at that time ordered Kinnara to be driven away. Kinnara worked so hard to spread the Dharma, but ended up like this. So Kinnara had a resentful heart, and slowly turned into Mara over the year.

After turning into Mara, he was suppressed in the source of darkness under Lingshan Mountain. This is where the Buddhist sect imprisoned demons and monsters.

However, it was in this life that Jiang Ming awakened the world-destroying black lotus in his body.

Jiang Ming knew very well that this black lotus of the soul originally came from the ancient main world and belonged to the Demon Ancestor Rāhu.

However, after the death of the Demon Ancestor, a wisp of his soul merged with the black lotus of destruction, broke away from the original primitive world, and came to this primitive parallel universe.

As Jiang Ming's memory continued to recover, he had already roughly figured out many of the causes and consequences.

Originally, he could be a good person.

As a result, he was blackened by the Tathagata Buddha. He had only great love for Ah Xiu. When the Buddha said that Kinnara Bodhisattva's "six roots were impure", he just wanted Ah Xiu to see the result of his good deeds.

Of course, now, to Jiang Ming, what is the devil, what is the Buddha, what is good, what is evil, is nothing more than a mental consumption. Everything is him.

However, in this world, his identity in this life and his way of cultivation are already very orthodox, close to the Three Corpses-Slaying style of the prehistoric main world.

Because he had already killed the good corpse and the evil corpse, but Wu Tian was still hesitating about killing his own corpse.

One is Wu Tian in white clothes, representing the good corpse, and the other is Wu Tian in painted face, representing the evil corpse.

For Jiang Ming, he just makes the best of it.

The left hand hits the right hand.

This time, he wants to see if he can take this opportunity to impact the saint realm, which is above the realm of sacrifice.

He really needs to improve. No matter what, he needs to go back. His ultimate goal may be to fight against Hongjun Daozu. This is all his karma.

It was not until this day that Jiang Ming finally understood the true meaning of cause and effect.

After all he's been through, he's back.

Now, he is mixed in with the Buddhist arhats. As for the original arhat, he was killed directly and took away the origin. This person is not a good monk. He eats, drinks, gambles, and eats people. He is a monster. Therefore, the composition of Buddhism itself is very mixed. Many prehistoric universes also have the plot of the Conferred Gods. In this, Buddhism grew up on the corpse of Jiejiao. In the Conferred Gods, it seems that Buddhism is the one who benefited in the end.

Because, many of Jiejiao's quasi-saints, Daluo Jinxian, and disciples changed their titles and chose to enter Buddhism directly. Some even became mounts directly.

Yuanshi Tianzun realized that something was wrong and was worried that Buddhism would be undermined by the disciples of Jiejiao, so he also took a few Daluo Jinxian. The Guanyin that Jiang Ming valued was the Taoist Cihang. Her mount, the golden-haired lion, was one of the disciples of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

During the Great Tribulation of the Conferred Gods, "Jin Guangxian", a disciple of Tongtian Patriarch's Jiejiao sect and also one of the Seven Immortals, was sent to control the Four Symbols Formation in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. After the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was broken by the immortals of the Chenjiao, Jin Guangxian was subdued and captured by the Nanji Immortal, and was beaten back to his original form and turned into a golden-haired lion, which became the mount of Guanyin "Cihang Taoist" in later generations.

Of course, it is hard to tell exactly what happened. After all, Jiang Ming's memory of the Demon Ancestor has not been formally awakened.

Now he knew some of the memories of the Buddha Wu Tian, ​​and finally he could guess that in this world, the Buddhist sect was not doing too well, and they had made so many calculations. In the end, the top leaders were almost wiped out by the Jiejiao and the Xianjiao.

For example, the Buddha Dipamkara was the former deputy leader of the Chan sect. When he entered Buddhism, he was a quasi-saint level existence.

And there is also a Duobao Tathagata, who is the eldest brother of Jiejiao and a quasi-saint level existence.

There are too many specific ones. From Arhats to Bodhisattvas, many of them are from Jiejiao and Chanjiao.

This is not just the case with Buddhism. Even the Heavenly Court is in this situation. Back then, many Jiejiao immortals were forced to be included in the Conferred God List and became Heavenly Court immortals. From then on, they lost their freedom and their status as Great Freedom Immortals.

He dared not disobey orders in public, but he would certainly disobey them in private.

Jiejiao claimed that all the immortals came to pay homage. Ordinary earthly immortals could not be counted as immortals. Those above heavenly immortals could barely register. In the end, although it fell apart, as long as Tongtian Sect Master was not dead, Jiejiao would still exist.

Jiang Ming silently watched today's Buddhist banquet. The Zen ceremony was over, and the Buddha invited all the Bodhisattvas to have a meal with him.

Among those sitting here, those with the lowest cultivation level are Taiyi Golden Immortals, and most of them are Daluo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints.

Jiang Ming mainly observed the other members of the pilgrimage team, especially Sun Wukong.

After the journey to the West, Sun Wukong's merits were fulfilled. He gained a lot of luck and merits. With his talent, he has reached the edge of breaking through to become a quasi-saint. It is estimated that it will not be long before he can break through to become a quasi-saint.

It can be said that in this life, the Buddha Wu Tian was defeated by the Fighting Buddha. He was no longer the unruly Monkey King, but a Fighting Buddha who loved the people, saved the dying and healed the wounded, and represented justice and courage.

Jiang Ming himself had been Sun Wukong in a parallel universe and had memories of being unruly. So, when he saw Sun Wukong, he had a strange feeling that he was seeing his former self.

After going through so much, we can't say that the monkey is no longer a monkey. He is still himself, we can only say that he has grown up.

Sun Wukong seemed to have sensed something. He saw a little monk standing in the corner of the banquet hall. He took a casual look and found that this was a little monk with the cultivation of a golden immortal. He also had the blood of the fierce beast Bashe.

Sun Wukong did not find it surprising, he was just an Arhat. He knew very well that there were many such people in Buddhism. It was not only the human race that could become Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas.

He just felt that the little monk was looking at him, which made him feel very strange.
