I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 700 Turning one's hand to make clouds and rain
"When I become a demon, anyone who utters the mantra of eternal bliss will inevitably suffer calamity. I will transform into a demon of the heart, bewitch their minds, sever their spirits, and banish them into the cycle of reincarnation to fulfill the destiny of heaven!"

Ah Da uses the authority over the spiritual realm granted by the Lord of Illusion as a key, and his own great vows and lineage as a means of pursuit.

He transformed himself into something similar to the martial arts inner demon tribulation that once existed in the Lotus World.

Those who practice the Great Vow Dharma and the Maitreya Salvation Mantra will no longer be able to easily borrow power from the origin of the world. Instead, they will be the first to be sensed by him and be subjected to demonic tribulations.

Only by overcoming the demonic tribulation can one complete their cultivation.

Those who can overcome demonic tribulations are also likely to be highly accomplished in their own cultivation, and will naturally be able to continue their studies in the field of Buddhism.

The annihilating sword light slashed out from the ocean of subconsciousness of all beings, tracing back along the lineage of Buddhism to each and every Buddhist practitioner, especially those who chanted the Buddha's name and vainly sought to ascend to the Pure Land.

With just the first slash of the blade, one-tenth of all practitioners of the Maitreya Salvation Mantra in the world were annihilated.

On the Taixu Forum, Buddhist practitioners who were just arguing with others only got halfway through their sentences.

"save!"

"he came!"

"This is an unparalleled demon!"

No matter how skilled they are at debating scriptures in ordinary times, they are no match for the sharpness of the butcher's knife at this moment.

The once bustling Taixu Forum fell silent in an instant.

Those who were previously wavering in their opinions were now terrified.

Many ordinary people who had been talking about Western Paradise after this incident suddenly wished they could tear their mouths off.

The saying "trouble comes from the mouth" perfectly describes the current situation.

"How come two supreme demons suddenly appeared?"

In the forum, this post was quickly pinned to the top and then projected almost like a pop-up window to every user who used the Taixu Illusion Talisman.

Buddhism has gone to great lengths to generate traffic and influence public opinion.

However, for Zhou Tieyi, who controls the Illusionary Realm, he only needs to move a finger to directly decide what public opinion should be considered.

Of course, there is a prerequisite: at the right time, people feel that they have seen what they want to see.

Just like now.

The appearance of two supreme demons, who made a grand vow to influence the rules of the world, is already known to countless people.

Now we need to guide their understanding.

We cannot begin by advocating the innocence of Buddhism; instead, we should start by addressing why demons appear.

"I have inside information and know the whole story. I'm crowdfunding 1 million Taixu coins to unlock it."

This post was quickly pinned to the top, and then a bunch of people who don't practice Buddhism started enthusiastically gossiping below.

"I go!"

"A well-informed person has appeared?"

"Dude, if you want to make money, you have to give me some name first."

······
The poster quickly replied below, posting a photo of the entrance to the Great Luo Palace.

"I am just an insider from the Great Luo Palace."

"A true master has appeared!"

"Quickly, I need to know the whole story within a minute!"

One million Taixu coins is indeed a lot; Zhou Tieyi used to have to work hard to earn them. But at this moment, amidst the enthusiasm of the people and the life-or-death struggle of Buddhism, the crowdfunding of one million coins was completed in just thirty seconds. The vast majority of these funds came from Buddhists who were trembling with fear and whose donations had not yet been pursued by A'da.

Having received the money, this insider from the Great Luo Palace kept his promise and posted the argument he overheard between A-Da and the Heavenly Venerable on the Taixu Forum.

Then everyone thought it made perfect sense!
Yes.

When Buddhism did not submit, the Heavenly Venerable ordered Ah Da to exterminate all Buddhist temples in the world and force monks to return to secular life. Ah Da's path was already set and could not be changed.

Now, the Celestial Venerable is going to carry out the mission of spreading Buddhism to the south, which is almost equivalent to cutting off Ah Da's path to enlightenment and reprimanding Ah Da for not considering the overall situation of sentient beings.

If I were in Ah Da's shoes, I'd probably feel resentment too.

Ah Da had followed the Celestial Venerable for so long that he knew where the Celestial Venerable had placed the peerless divine weapon. So, taking advantage of the Xuanpin Daomu's invitation to the Celestial Venerable to go to the Milky Way, he stole the peerless divine weapon and descended to the mortal realm to wreak havoc.

He vowed to transform into an unparalleled demon to obstruct Buddhist followers throughout the world, thus living up to his original title of being an enemy of Buddhism.

There are no wrong nicknames, only wrong given names!
So it's clear who's right and who's wrong. The Celestial Venerable was right to reprimand Ah Da, but he didn't expect Ah Da to be so wicked, truly wicked, which is why he failed to live up to the Celestial Venerable's good intentions!
Of course, they were all supreme demons, so it was only natural that they were utterly evil.

The more mistakes Ah Da makes, the more blame he takes, and the less likely others are to make mistakes.

It seems unrealistic for ordinary people to criticize the morality of a supreme demon.

After all, doesn't everyone assume that the Heavenly Demon should be utterly evil?
And this post is like a beginning.

The second post was also quickly pinned to the top.

"According to sources, I know the source of the internal turmoil within Buddhism during this Buddhist calamity! 50 Taixu Coins!"

If Ah-da was an external trigger, then there must have been internal factors within Buddhism as well. The combination of these internal and external factors has led to the current catastrophe, which aligns with everyone's understanding.

Since everyone has already crowdfunded one million Taixu Coins, they certainly won't be short of another five hundred thousand Taixu Coins.

Half a minute later, the poster replied.

"The Western Paradise is divided into twenty-four heavens. When people recite the name of the Western Paradise, what they are actually referring to most is Maitreya Buddha's Pure Land of Salvation."

"But the same is true within Buddhism. Some people eat a lot, while others naturally eat less. Maitreya Buddha eats the most, while his other sect eats the least."

"This faction is a killing sect. In the past, all the dirty and hard work in Buddhism was done by the killing Buddha lineage. But now that the world is gradually becoming more peaceful, everyone likes to lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. This has led to the killing sect being suppressed within Buddhism and becoming marginalized. Moreover, there is currently a discussion about changing all the Dharma protectors into Dharma protectors and completely expelling them from the monastic system to ensure the compassion and righteousness of the monks."

"Therefore, once the external factors occurred, the Buddha of Killing immediately acted and transformed into the Supreme Heavenly Demon."

After the poster finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment, and then countless comments poured in.

"Now I know why the Uchiha clan rebelled against Konoha."

"A person from the Lotus World commented."

The commenter immediately followed up, "When you're killing people, you're my sweetheart; when you're enjoying life, you're my shrew."

"Even if I am the Buddha of Killing, I will still rebel! I'm stuck in this ox-and-horse system, and in the end, I'll be expelled from the ox-and-horse register. It would be against all reason not to rebel!"

"How could Buddhism be like this? Ask a question that focuses on the fundamental nature of things!"

"Buddhism has never always been like this. The Pure Land is ultimately a benefit that only a small number of people can enjoy. Even the leaders of Buddhism cannot enjoy it, so you ordinary people should not fantasize about reaching the Pure Land by chanting the Buddha's name."

"That's right, that's right. This world is inherently capable of cultivating immortality and reincarnation. The Heavenly Venerable is still working tirelessly to expand the world's origin every day. If you can't even achieve this, then you're just too useless. You can't even reach the Pure Land by chanting the Buddha's name."

"The path is always under the feet of all living beings, not in the hands of gods and Buddhas. Everyone should give up the idea of ​​chanting scriptures and praying for longevity. Of course, there are still some people who want to test the sharpness of the two supreme demons' blades, but never mind what I said."

"Where is the Heavenly Venerable? Come out and save me! I don't want to chant Buddhist scriptures anymore! Don't let the Heavenly Demons find me! Those useless Buddhist masters!"

In less than half an hour, the situation in the world was reversed in an instant, all within the span of a single palm.
