I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 461 Mani Kasyapa (Please Subscribe)

"From this day forward, my name is Mani Kasyapa, and I shall be in charge of Mount Sumeru!"

Sun Xushi, with a solemn and dignified appearance, sat upright on a twelve-tiered lotus platform, with a golden sun crown behind his head shining brightly, making his figure appear even more magnificent.

Then, he slightly raised his hand, parted his red lips, and said without joy or sorrow:

“Good men and women, through countless eons, the sun of wisdom shines anew. By the power of my vows, I have reappeared in this world.”

“Looking at this world, although sentient beings live in the five turbidities and evils, their Buddha-nature remains undefiled. It is like a Mani jewel that has fallen into the mud, yet its light is not diminished in the slightest.”

"Today I open the gate of expedient means and reveal the ultimate Dharma."

"Firstly, do not think that Mount Ling is thousands of miles away; turning back is the shore of Bodhi."

"Secondly, do not say that it is difficult to cultivate in the Dharma-ending Age; a single thought of purity is the place of enlightenment."

"Thirdly, do not cling to the literal meaning of the classics; untie the bonds and see the true nature."

"Fourth, do not worship clay or wooden statues; the Buddha of your own nature is the most worthy of reverence."

As soon as he finished speaking, the twelve-petaled golden lotus beneath Sun Xushi, or rather, Mani Kasyapa, shone brightly.

The merits and vows of Buddhism instantly illuminated the entire universe, and golden lotuses appeared in the skies of many realms.

As golden light shone down, all Buddhist disciples within the realm were enveloped by the power of merit and vows, and their Buddhist cultivation advanced rapidly.

However, when the light shone on the Vajra Realm, the golden lotus shattered the moment it appeared.

Mani Kasyapa seemed to sense something, his eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the Vajra Realm, but he made no move. He continued speaking:

“All Buddhist disciples should take the four principles as their foundation.”

"First, maintain right mindfulness, as if protecting a bright pearl. Next, cultivate compassion, as if water nourishes all things. Then, practice wisdom, as if a sword were cutting a thread. Finally, realize non-self, as if clouds were dispersing into the sky."

Golden light instantly enveloped the entire sacred mountain, and the precious light spread outwards like clouds, dyeing the sky in all realms of Taizhou Mountain golden.

The golden lotuses that were originally floating in the sky scattered in a certain direction, and most of them landed on the monks who were proficient in Buddhism.

Instantly, their cultivation level was raised by a small realm.

Even their Buddhist supernatural abilities have improved, equivalent to several or even decades of arduous cultivation.

With just this one move, the Buddhist monks all put their hands together in prayer with complicated expressions, chanting "Amitabha, good, good."

At this moment, a solemn expression appeared on Manikaya's face, and his resounding voice echoed in all directions:
"Monks, straighten your bearing and revive the precepts! Lay Buddhists, make the world your practice ground and refine your mind in the secular world! All sentient beings, whether born from wombs, eggs, moisture, or transformation, can instantly transcend the three vehicles if they can reflect on themselves."

Then a huge swastika appeared on Mount Taizhou, and golden light shone on the mountain and into many realms, causing the swastika to rise on the land within each realm.

However, this time it is not aimed at those enlightened monks, but at all monks and lay disciples who practice Buddhist practices, and even some lay Buddhists who chant scriptures and worship Buddha in the secular world. They will also benefit from the merit and vows.

It can dispel illness in the sick and strengthen the body and prolong life in the healthy.

"Greetings, Great Master Mani Kasyapa!"

"Greetings, Mount Ling!"

Most of the beings who worship Buddha do not know about the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss." They only sincerely worship Buddha, so when they come out of Vulture Peak, they worship there.

They were worshipping not only Mount Ling, but also the Great Master Mani Kasyapa and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas seated in the Mahavira Hall.

Streams of merit and vows instantly surged from various realms toward the sacred mountain in the sky.

This made those pagodas and palaces even more imposing, and their golden light of merit even more dazzling.

Mani Kasyapa smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice:
"Today I make a new vow: I will not attain Nirvana until all sentient beings within my heart have been liberated. I will not leave this world until I have dispelled the darkness of ignorance. I will not abandon my seat until I have seen all sentient beings attain Buddhahood."

"All Buddhist practitioners should regard Mount Ling as the most revered place, take merit and vows as the standard, diligently study the Dharma, and universally save all sentient beings."

After a pause, Mani Kasyapa's gaze fell upon the equally dazzling "Bridge of Heaven and Earth" on the distant horizon, and he said:

"Three months from now, Mount Ling will open its gates, and I will preach and spread the Dharma. I look forward to welcoming all those who come to worship Buddha."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the floating monk beside him and said nothing more.

The monk Fuchen nodded slightly, his eyes lowered, and after rising, he put his hands together and said:

"Do not say that I am the Buddha of the past, nor that the future is unpredictable, for a moment is an immeasurable eon."

"Today, I add more oil to the lamp, not to illuminate the mountains and rivers, but to awaken the foolish in their dreams."

As he spoke, twenty-four rays of light emanated from the white hair between his brows, each illuminating countless past eons.

It was as if I saw the Great Dao and its principles crumble, many realms wither, and saints fall, with the entire Tai Zhou Mountain shrouded in apocalyptic destruction.

Fu Chen glanced at it, then chanted "Amitabha" and whispered:
"Now that we have reunited with Buddhist disciples from all realms, we hope that you will listen to the teachings of the ancient Buddha Mani Kassapa and not miss this opportunity again."

As soon as the words fell, the four men and women standing below them on the nine-tiered lotus platform spoke in turn.

"My name is Ancient Eagle Bodhisattva. I hold words as the true scripture, severing the threads of thousands of scrolls of names and forms, and splitting open the mountains of countless doubts!"

"My name is Virtuous Bodhisattva, every step I take is a step towards enlightenment, every mountain and river is a chant..."

"My name is Guanlan Dashi. I have a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, but they are not supernatural powers. I am sad, I am in pain, I am deaf and dumb. I look upon all beings in the boundless sea of ​​suffering, and I hope they will turn back to the shore."

"I am Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva..."

Then came 102 Buddhas and Arhats on six-tiered lotus thrones, who spoke in turn. Some made great vows, some introduced their own attainments, and others, like Chen Yuan, simply spoke in a cold and aloof tone:
"My name is Chen Yuan!"

As the words fell, golden light shone brightly from all the Buddhas in the sky, and immeasurable merits and vows poured into Mount Ling from all realms of Mount Taizhou.

All Buddhist monks, disciples, and laypeople who have just benefited from the merits and vows of Mount Ling, whether they like it or not, have a portion of their merits and vows attributed to Mount Ling.

From then on, when they worshipped Buddha and chanted scriptures, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas they contemplated were no longer wooden or clay sculptures, but real Buddhas of Vulture Peak.

Seeing this, Mani Kasyapa smiled slightly on his kind and honest face, his eyes calmly looking at the various realms of Mount Taizhou, and said in a leisurely tone:
"Past grievances are wiped clean. From this day forward, there is no longer a Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss or a Land of Ultimate Joy. There is only—the sacred mountain of Buddhism!"

"Amitabha!"

"A cause for universal celebration!"

Zhao Muzi, who was in the Weak Water Realm, noticed that gaze, and after a moment's thought, took a step forward.

A figure appeared on the horizon and then stood on Mount Taizhou.

Its enormous form blotted out the sky, standing in distant view of Mount Ling and the Bridge Between Heaven and Earth.

Zhao Muzi stared for a moment, then shook his whisk, bowed, and said, "This humble Taoist congratulates Fellow Daoist Mani Kasyapa on attaining the status of an ancient Buddha."

Manikaya smiled and looked at him: "Thank you."

"Master Mu Zi is exceptionally talented; I believe your future achievements will certainly be no less than mine."

Zhao Muzi nodded noncommittally.

Just as he was about to disappear and return to the Weak Water Realm, another figure appeared beside him.

The man wore a black and white Taoist robe, had a handsome face, and a Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol between his eyebrows.

As soon as he appeared, he, like Zhao Muzi, called out loudly towards the distant Ling Mountain:
"Congratulations to fellow practitioner Mani Kasyapa on attaining the state of an ancient Buddha."

Mani Kassapa glanced at him and nodded with a smile, "Thank you, Immortal Samsara."

The newcomer was none other than Yin Yin, the patriarch of the Samsara Realm, known as the last immortal of Mount Taizhou.

Immediately afterwards, as if by prior arrangement, several figures appeared on Mount Taizhou.

There are Confucian and Taoist sages with white hair and beards, demon ancestors with half-human and half-demon bodies, and barbarian tribes with enormous bodies.

Including Zhao Muzi and Yin Yin, thirteen figures appeared on Mount Taizhou in an instant, all offering their congratulations to Mount Ling:
"Congratulations to fellow practitioner Mani Kasyapa on attaining the state of an ancient Buddha."

"Congratulations to all the Buddhas of Mount Ling for attaining enlightenment!" "The ancient legacy of Mount Ling has reappeared in the world; a truly joyous occasion..."

As these thirteen figures appeared on Mount Taizhou, the powerful beings in various realms instantly fell silent.

It was even quieter than when Mount Ling appeared in the world before, with no words spoken.

It was as if they had witnessed something terrifying.

long silence.

Just now, some powerful figures cautiously transmitted their voices, saying, "It's them, these people, Ancestor..."

"As fellow ancestors, I am far inferior to them."

"Judging from today's situation, they seem to have known all along that the 'General' had his hands on the ancient sacred mountain, yet they remained indifferent. I wonder what their true intentions are."

"Could it be that they felt they were no match for the general and his men, so they allowed those villains to obtain the ancient spiritual mountain's inheritance?"

"Not an opponent?"

"how is this possible?"

"With all thirteen patriarchs attacking together, what use is the general by himself?"

Ultimately, they just don't want to take action.

"Why?"

"If I knew the reason, I would also be able to appear on Mount Taizhou at this moment. Look, apart from them, have any of the old demons of the Demon Realm, the ancestors of Sword Dao Heaven, or those ancestors of the ninth and tenth realms of supernatural powers shown up?"

"No……"

Tai Zhou Mountain Sword Path Beyond the Heavens.

Lei Jingming gazed at the sky, stunned for a long while before finally coming to his senses. He turned to look at Sword Dao Ancestor Haoran Sword Master and asked:
"Master, they are..."

Sword Master Haoran nodded slightly, a hint of envy and respect showing deep in his eyes. "They are the 'Transcendent Ones' of Mount Taizhou. Including the General... Mani Kassapa Buddha, there are fourteen in total."

"If these people show themselves, not only will I, their master, have to bow down, but even the old demon and other patriarchs from various realms will have to bow down."

"It seems that with the appearance of Mount Ling, Mount Taizhou is about to experience another upheaval."

After observing for a moment, Haoran Sword Master suddenly took Lei Jingming and continued towards the Weak Water Realm.

While flying, he transmitted his instructions telepathically: "The more critical the situation, the more cautious and discreet we must be, especially in ensuring that no one notices that Chen Yi possesses the rudiments of the Dao of Swords."

"The disciple understands."

After a pause, Lei Jingming asked via telepathy, "But there is something I don't understand. Master, is your trip to the Weak Water Realm to invite Chen Yi to join our Sword Dao Heaven?"

Haoran Sword Master hummed in agreement and replied telepathically, "I do have this plan, but it depends on what Azure Dragon Sword Immortal thinks."

"Furthermore, with the appearance of Mount Ling today, although the general said he would wipe the slate clean of past grievances, there is no guarantee that he will not change his mind in the future."

"After much thought, if the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal were to come to the Sword Dao Heaven, it would not be any safer than if he were in the Xun Wang Heaven."

"With Daoist Zhao Muzi's status as a 'transcendent being,' he can indeed better protect the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal."

Originally, Sword Master Haoran was already thinking of letting Chen Yi take over the Sword Dao Heaven. He was even willing to give up his status as the ancestor, just to protect Chen Yi, a sword cultivator who possessed the Dao of Swords.

However, the sudden appearance of Mount Ling, coupled with the arrival of thirteen transcendent beings including Zhao Muzi, inevitably made Sword Master Haoran have many thoughts in his mind.

There is no other reason.

—Cultivation level and supernatural power realm!
If he were also a "transcendent being," he could naturally invite Chen Yi to join the Sword Dao Heaven and protect his safety, but unfortunately he is not.

Lei Jingming was well aware of this, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Master is right. As long as Daoist Zhao Muzi is willing to protect Chen... the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal, it doesn't matter whether he is in the Sword Dao Heaven or not."

"The evolution of the sword path is of utmost importance, as it concerns the future of countless sword cultivators on Mount Taizhou."

With the blessing of the principles of swordsmanship, all sword cultivators can further enhance their swordsmanship power.

No longer like the scattered sand of the past, in the later stages of cultivation, one must take other Dao principles as the main focus and swordsmanship as a supplement.

"Let's put that aside for now and get to the Weak Water Boundary as soon as possible..."

at the same time.

After Zhao Muzi and the others offered their congratulations to Mani Kasyapa and the other Buddhas of Mount Ling, they all disappeared and returned to their respective realms.

The newly appeared Mount Ling was shrouded and obscured by a golden cloud, not falling into any realm of Mount Taizhou.

Faintly, chanting could be heard emanating from the clouds, spreading outwards and transmitting power to Buddhist disciples, while also absorbing more Buddhist merits and vows.

Inside the main hall, Mani Kasyapa calmly looked at the assembled Bodhisattvas and Arhats and spoke softly:

"The reappearance of Lingshan on Taizhou Mountain today is a great joy for us, and also for all the Buddhist monasteries on Taizhou Mountain."

"But I just used my divine sense to observe the many realms of Mount Taizhou and discovered something."

"Evil spirits have risen up in the Vajra Realm and have already deviated from the Great Way of Mount Ling. Do you all know what to do?"

Upon hearing this, the many Bodhisattvas and Arhats paused, but none of them spoke first. Instead, they all looked at the floating and sinking on the other side.

Mani Kassapa noticed their gazes and looked over, "What does the Ancient Buddha of Floating and Sinking think?"

Fu Chen lowered his head with a kind and benevolent expression, put his hands together and said, "The Vajra Realm is already a hellish inferno, unlike the human world."

"When you are enlightened."

Mani Kasyapa smiled kindly and said in a cheerful tone:

“In that case, I will send an envoy to the Vajra Realm, firstly to purify the Asura Purgatory, and secondly to guide them.”

The ancient Buddha paused slightly, then turned his head and said, "Great Master Mani Kasyapa, please issue your decree."

Mani Kasyapa nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed, saying, "This trip to the Vajra Realm will be led by Ancient Eagle and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, with Dragon Subduer, Tiger Subduer, and Arhat Changmen accompanying them. In addition..."

He paused, his gaze falling on the far end of the main hall, before continuing:
“My disciple Chen Yuan Luohan, please also lead your messengers to the Vajra Realm.”

Chen Yuan calmly raised his head, glanced at him, stood up, and bowed, saying, "Disciple obeys."

Zhou Guanwu, the ascetic monk, and Yi Mu, who were standing beside him, also stood up and bowed, but dared not utter a single word.

Unlike the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" of the past, they are now messengers of the Buddha in the Great Hall of the Leiyin Temple on Mount Ling, and must be careful in every word and deed.

That's right, it's about being cautious.

After receiving the inheritance of Mount Ling, the differences in cultivation and supernatural powers among the individuals became increasingly vast due to their attainment of Buddhahood.

The cultivation and supernatural powers of the two ancient Buddhas are almost at the level of the transcendent beings on Mount Taizhou.

The four Bodhisattvas are equivalent to the level of the old demon and the Sword Dao Ancestor.

The status of Arhat has also been significantly improved.

According to Zhou Guanwu, Yimu, and the ascetic monk, Chen Yuan, whose cultivation level was originally lower than theirs, is now a being above the seventh level of supernatural powers.

The improvement is undeniably significant.

"Alright, you may all go and prepare."

After bowing, Chen Yuan led Zhou Guanwu and the others, following behind the two Bodhisattvas, Gu Ying and Ksitigarbha, and left the Mahavira Hall.

Just then, a voice rang in Chen Yuan's ears; it was the Floating Ancient Buddha in the Mahavira Hall.

"Chen Yuan, be careful in everything you do."
