I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 369: The Remains and Layout of the Future Star King Buddha
Boom! Boom! Boom!

The silver-white lightning was like a series of divine waterfalls falling from the sky, ready to annihilate the rivers and streams.

Elder Jingzhen stood on the deck of the Chuanyun Shenzhou, feeling somewhat incredulous.

"Is Jingyang really only at the eighth level?"

"I've never heard of anyone who could survive six immortal tribulations in one year."

Elder Jingzhen twisted his Buddhist beads and said quietly, "Besides, the power of the Immortal Tribulation shouldn't be limited to this."

"The origin of the Qingyuan Realm created a little monster like Jingyang. This disaster is likely to be even more exaggerated than imagined."

Elder Jingzhen muttered, "I have to work hard too, otherwise if I really die in the catastrophe when the two worlds merge, I won't be able to become the abbot of Bodhi Temple."

"do not worry."

"Elder Kongbei, are you trying to say that the catastrophe isn't that dangerous?"

"Even if you survive, Bodhi Temple will not let you become the abbot."

"."

I can’t stay in this Bodhi Temple for even a single day!
When I ascend to the Buddhist realm, I will definitely sue you all in front of the future Star King Buddha!
"Let's go."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Chuan, dressed in black and who had just survived the tribulation, appeared on the deck of the Chuanyun Shenzhou.

Chi!
Elder Kong Bei then activated the Cloud-Piercing Divine Ship, which transformed into a golden divine light, passing through the sky and penetrating into the vast Xuanming Land.

An hour later, the solemn and ancient Huaguang Temple appeared in the sight of the three people.

The golden Sun God Bell appeared above Jiangchuan's head.

clang!
The loud bell rang, and golden ripples spread all around like water waves.

"Jiang Chuan, accompanied by two elders from the Bodhi Temple and the Great Sun Bell cast by the future Star King Buddha, came to visit Huaguang Temple to retrieve the treasure left by the ancestor."

In an instant, the entire Huaguang Temple was alarmed.

"Magnificent and sacred, it is indeed the Great Sun Divine Bell!"

"Is this the Great Sun Divine Bell forged by the future Star King Buddha using the mother gold of all things?!"

"Isn't the Great Sun Divine Bell in Baoshan? How did it appear in the world?!"

Rays of light flew out from Huaguang Temple and landed in front of it.

"Amitabha! I am Fayue, a poor monk, greeting all of you fellow Taoists!"

The abbot of Huaguang Temple, Fayue, holding a nine-ring staff and wearing a red cassock embroidered with a golden dragon, flew to the front of the Cloud Piercing Divine Boat.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Fayue." Jiang Chuan clasped his fists.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, fellow Daoist Taishan who came here twice more than a thousand years ago, and fellow Daoist Kongchen who came to Huaguang Temple with his disciple Jingyuan half a year ago, didn't they take away the treasures left by the Future Star King Buddha?" Fayue asked doubtfully.

Elder Kongbei and Elder Jingzhen looked surprised. They didn't expect that Elder Kongchen had actually been to Huaguang Temple.

Jiang Chuan had experience in simulation, so he was not surprised at all.

"We were unaware that Elder Kongchen had traveled the world and arrived at Huaguang Temple. However, since we are here, we ask you to take us to the world left behind by the future Star King Buddha."

"Well, then, please follow me, the three of you."

Led by Fayue, Jiangchuan and the other two came to an ancient temple deep in Huaguang Temple.

The ancient temple is not big, and many of its tiles are broken, each one having gone through a long period of time.

Pushing open the temple door, Jiangchuan saw a Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue has delicate features, wears a cassock, and has his hands clasped together, looking solemn and sacred.

"It's strange, why is there a word 'Buddha' between the eyebrows of the Future Star King Buddha?" The rabbit raised its paw and pointed at the center of the Buddha statue's eyebrows.

Normally, statues of Buddha and gods are mainly designed to restore the image of the Buddha or the gods themselves.

Adding words to a Buddha statue like this can even be considered an act of great disrespect from a certain perspective.

Fa Yue shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. The word 'Buddha' was there when the statue was brought from the Buddhist world to Huaguang Temple by the six-tusked white elephant, the mount of the future Star King Buddha."

Jiang Chuan stared at the word "Buddha" between the eyebrows of the Buddha statue, thinking about the meaning of this word.

"The world left behind by the Future Constellation King Buddha is within the Buddha statue. As long as fellow Taoist recites the Future Constellation Sutra, the Buddha statue will sense your energy and open up the world."

After hearing Fa Yue's words, Jiang Chuan started to practice the Future Star Sutra.

In an instant, golden rays of Buddha light emerged from the statue of Future Star King Buddha, enveloping Jiang Chuan and the other two.

The elegant fragrance of lotus penetrated into Jiangchuan's nostrils.

The scene before his eyes suddenly changed, and golden lotus flowers bloomed from the ground.

Each lotus contains profound Buddhist meaning, swaying gently in the wind and emitting a faint fragrance.

At the end of the lotus, there are rows of pagodas, each with exquisitely carved Buddha statues and scriptures, containing profound Zen principles.

clang!
The Great Sun Divine Bell flew out from Jiangchuan's body and turned into a divine light. It flew over the golden lotus, over the towering pagodas, and landed on a golden lotus.

Jiangchuan and the other two followed the Great Sun God Bell to the top of the lotus.

Under the gaze of the three people, strands of golden Buddha light rose from the earth.

"How can my original body be sensitive to a lotus?" the rabbit was puzzled.

"I'm afraid it's not the lotus."

Jiang Chuan said this, extending a hand.

The giant hand transformed by magic power reached into the ground, and Jiang Chuan grabbed a huge cyan-gold stone.

The cyan-gold boulder was covered in mud, but it exuded an unconcealable sense of Zen.

"Is this the treasure that the future Star King Buddha left for my Bodhi Temple?" Elder Kong Bei looked at the huge rock.

"The treasures left to us by the future Star Lord Buddha will not, or should not, be hidden away."

Jiang Chuan expressed his guess: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the foundation of a palace. And the palace that originally existed here is it, or rather, it is within this palace that the treasure given to us by the future Star King Buddha Patriarch is located."

"Future Star King Buddha Patriarch, our Bodhi Temple is the only one with a lineage in the heavens and myriad worlds."

Elder Kongbei frowned, "Without the Future Stars Sutra, you can't enter this world. Anyone who can enter this world must be from my Bodhi Temple. If they are from my Bodhi Temple, why would they bury this place?"

"Bodhi Temple knew about the treasure left behind by the future Star King Buddha because of Senior Taishan who lived over a thousand years ago."

Jiang Chuan expressed his guess: "Could it be that at that time, Senior Taishan had already been targeted by the group that murdered him?"

"You mean, Taishan actually took the treasure left by the future Star King Buddha the first time he came to Huaguang Temple."

Elder Jingzhen pondered Jiang Chuan's words: "The reason he didn't take it out, or rather didn't tell anyone about it, is because he was worried that if he told anyone about it, someone would definitely snatch it away, or even that he himself would meet with an unexpected disaster."

"If what you said is true, then what was Taishan's purpose for coming to Huaguang Temple the second time?"

Elder Kongbei asked, "Is it to lure away the people who are secretly monitoring him and want to seize the treasure left behind by the future Star King Buddha?"

"If that's the case, someone will definitely go get the treasure on Taishan's behalf."

Before Elder Jingzhen finished speaking, the three of them looked at Patriarch Ziyun on Jiangchuan's shoulder.

"No, it can't be the ancestor."

Jiang Chuan then spoke: "Everyone in the entire Qingyuan Realm knows about the relationship between Senior Taishan and the ancestor. He abandoned the ancestor and left alone for the starry sky."

"In my opinion, it's very likely a trick. After all, Senior Taishan had already been to Huaguang Temple once before."

"The group that plotted to murder Senior Taishan, seeing him abandon the ancestor, would definitely wonder if Senior Taishan was playing a diversionary tactic for them."

"So I guess Senior Taishan probably used me as a pawn in this game of chess and plotted against me."

Ziyun Patriarch was furious: "What?! Taishan, that bastard, actually dared to plot against me!"

"When I find his reincarnation, I will make him pay the price!"

"What Jingyang said makes sense, but in this case, two problems are facing us."

Elder Kongbei clenched his Buddhist beads tightly in his hand and asked, "Who did Taishan send to retrieve the treasure? Where is this palace now?"

Jiang Chuan was unable to answer this question and could only ask Patriarch Ziyun.

"Ancestor, if you were Taishan, who would you ask to help you do this?"

"Master Ketu? Taishan has a good relationship with him."

As soon as Patriarch Ziyun finished speaking, Elder Jingzhen's voice rang out.

"No, it definitely couldn't be Taoist Jidu. Taishan himself is not a good person. Would he believe that Taoist Jidu would return the treasure to Bodhi Temple after obtaining it?"

"Thinking in a different way, I think Taishan will definitely not choose to let Taoist Jidu get the treasure left by the future Star King Buddha."

"Elder Jingzhen's words make sense."

Jiang Chuan murmured, "Let's make another assumption. If our previous speculations were all false, then we didn't find it, and Elder Kongchen must have returned empty-handed. If we hadn't come to Huaguang Temple, what would Bodhi Temple have done?"

"We will definitely send more people to Huaguang Temple."

As soon as Elder Kong Bei finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Then the three of them said in unison: "The remains of the future Star Lord Buddha!"

Although Huaguang Temple is the ancient temple where the future Star King Buddha practiced before his enlightenment, he did not leave any Taoist tradition here.

There are only two objects in the entire ancient temple that are related to the future Star King Buddha.

One is to order his mount, a six-tusked white elephant, to drag the Buddha statue here from the Buddhist world.

The second is the remains shed when he became a Buddha in the past.

Normal disciples would definitely not hide treasures in the remains of their master, but Taishan is definitely not a normal disciple!
It can also be seen from what Taishan did in the past, that he hit the old ancestor Ziyun with a club, and hit Leng Yunsong with a club.

What would such a bold guy not dare to do?

Fa Yue looked at Jiang Chuan and the other two who had flown out of the Buddha statue and asked, "Three Daoists, have you found the treasure left behind by the Future Constellation King Buddha?"

"Fellow Daoist Fayue, please take us to the remains of the future Star King Buddha."

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Fa Yue was slightly stunned, and then took the three of them to the stupa forest of Huaguang Temple.

The white stupas stand like giants between heaven and earth.

The jade-like tower is engraved with complex patterns and scriptures, and emits fluorescence under the sunlight.

Fa Yue brought the three of them to the deepest part of the stupa forest, in front of a stupa that was ninety-nine feet high.

"This is the stupa where the remains of the future Star King Buddha are placed. Please come in, fellow Taoists." "Aren't you going in with us?" asked Patriarch Ziyun.

Fa Yue smiled and said, "The ancestor once left behind a warning. The supreme beings of the Fourteenth Realm are majestic and boundless, with immeasurable divine power. Unless you have no other choice, you must never get involved in karma with them. Although I don't know what the three of you are planning to do, I dare not disobey the ancestor's instructions."

"The founder of Fahua Temple is right."

Jiang Chuan recalled the wise Buddha he encountered in the simulation. With a wave of his hand, the power of civilization poured out, evolving into gods and Buddhas all over the sky.

You should know that the Great Wisdom Buddha has not yet fully comprehended the Dao Fruit of the God of History, and is only at the thirteenth realm.

According to Lord Luekong, Lord Qingshi, who is half a step away from the fourteenth realm, can already travel freely in the long river of time and plan the past and future to help himself achieve enlightenment.

If this is the case with the Half-Step Fourteenth Realm, the real Fourteenth Realm must be even more terrifying!
Crunch!

Pushing open the two tower doors with relief carvings of six-tusked white elephants, Jiang Chuan stepped inside.

On the gray floor, a black sarcophagus is quietly displayed.

A half-human-height incense burner was placed in front of the black sarcophagus.

Seeing Jiangchuan and the other two walk in, Fayue waved his sleeves and closed the tower door.

Jiang Chuan and the other two came to the incense burner, each took out three incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner.

"Master, the future Star King Buddha, your disciple Jiangchuan (Kongbei, Jingzhen) has come to retrieve the treasures you left behind to help our Bodhi Temple overcome the calamity. I hope you will forgive my disrespect."

Jiangchuan, Elder Kongbei, and Elder Jingzhen bowed deeply to the black sarcophagus, and then came to the front of it together.

Elder Jingzhen looked at the sarcophagus, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed a mouthful of water.

"Jingyang, Elder Kongbei, why don't you open the coffin?"

The rabbit said disdainfully, "Is the Future Constellation King Buddha really that scary? Look at you, you're so scared that your face has turned green."

"Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back."

Jiang Chuan put his hand on the coffin lid and pushed it forward suddenly.

The lid of the black sarcophagus slid forward, and the remains of the future Star King Buddha inside the coffin appeared in the eyes of Jiang Chuan and the other two.

The Future Star King Buddha is wearing a black cassock and his eyes are closed. Rather than being a relic, he looks more like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who is sleeping.

"It's strange. This body doesn't seem to have any problems. Why would the Future Star King Buddha shed this body and reshape his golden body?" The rabbit jumped onto the remains of the Future Star King Buddha and looked at it.

As the spirit of the supreme Taoist weapon personally refined by the future Star King Buddha, Rabbit dares to do this.

Jiang Chuan and the other two naturally did not have the courage to do so. After paying their respects to the Future Star King Buddha again, they began to search through his remains.

Just as he put his hand into the sleeve of the Future Star King Buddha, Jiang Chuan heard the voice of Patriarch Ziyun.

"Huh? This is the words left by Taesun."

Only then did Jiang Chuan notice that there was black ink on the palm of the Future Star King Buddha.

The Future Star King Buddha raised his two hands, and two scribbled words came into the eyes of the three people.

"Ask the Buddha? Which Buddha?" Elder Kongbei was very confused.

"What do these two words Taesun-senpai left behind mean?"

Jiang Chuan then looked at the remains of the Future Star King Buddha and suddenly thought of a possibility.

“I think we may have fallen into a misunderstanding.”

"What misunderstanding?" Elder Jingzhen spoke hurriedly.

"The Future Star King Buddha appeared in Taishan's dream, but Taishan never said that the Future Star King Buddha only appeared in his dream once." Jiang Chuan let go of the Future Star King Buddha's arm.

"Are you saying that we were wrong from the beginning, that it wasn't Taesan who was plotting against anyone, but rather that the Future Star King Buddha was manipulating Taesan through dreams?"

Elder Kong Bei's eyes flickered as he pondered what Jiang Chuan said.

"It's possible, and very likely. If even Tae-sun doesn't know who took the palace away in the end, then the group of people who murdered Tae-sun will have no chance of guessing who took the palace away."

"Then Taishan left these two words for us to ask the future Star King Buddha Patriarch, but we can't contact the Patriarch. How can we get a response from the Patriarch?"

After Elder Jingzhen finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and looked straight at the rabbit standing on the chest of the Future Star King Buddha.

Jiangchuan and Elder Kongbei also looked at the rabbit.

The rabbit spread out its paws. "Don't look at me. I haven't seen the Future Constellation King Buddha for at least a million years. If I knew how to contact the Future Constellation King Buddha, wouldn't I have run away from the treasure mountain long ago?"

"And with just two words, it's hard to say. This is truly the layout of the future Star King Buddha."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Rabbit's words, Jiang Chuan asked, "Rabbit, why do you think this isn't the plan of the future Star Lord Buddha?"

"Based on my understanding of the future Star King Buddha."

Rabbit's eyes flashed with reminiscence: "His plans were often made without warning, silently and without a sound."

"Even those who are in the game won't realize it until the right moment, let alone realize that they are just a pawn in his plan."

"These two words are too obvious. They don't seem like the style of the future Constellation King Buddha at all."

"Silent layout"

Jiang Chuan's pupils suddenly shrank and his expression changed drastically.

Noticing the change in Jiangchuan's expression, the rabbit blinked its big eyes.

"Jiangchuan, have you remembered the clues that Future Star King Buddha left for you?"

Elder Jingzhen and Elder Kongbei also looked at Jiangchuan.

Jiang Chuan didn't say anything, but just closed the coffin lid first, then turned around and walked out of the pagoda.

Looking at Abbot Fayue who was waiting in front of the stupa, Jiang Chuan asked, "Abbot Fayue, does your temple have any halls with paintings of the Devil Bewitching the Immortal on their walls?"

"Heavenly Demon Bewitching Immortal Diagram?"

Abbot Fayue pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Let's not talk about the fact that the Heavenly Demon Bewitching Immortals Diagram is a treasure of the Heavenly Demon Clan, and few people have ever seen it. Even if Huaguang Temple had seen it, we wouldn't paint a Heavenly Demon painting like the Heavenly Demon Bewitching Immortals Diagram on the wall."

"I see."

Jiang Chuan muttered to himself, and the scene of An Yunyi taking out the Heavenly Demon and Immortal Diagram and teaching him the Heavenly Demon and Immortal's descent appeared in his mind again.

"No mistake! This is the smell! It's exactly the same as the smell I smelled from the six-tusked white elephant when Taishan and I sneaked into Hwaguang Temple in Xuanmingdi to steal the remains of the Future Buddha!"

"The six-tusked white elephant is the mount of the future Constellation King Buddha. Apart from the Buddhist world, only Huaguang Temple has it."

"But why is the wall of Huaguang Temple here? And why is it even imprinted with the unparalleled magical power of the devil?"

Only at this moment did Jiang Chuan understand that the wall with the picture of the Demon and the Immortals that he saw in the simulation did not come from Huaguang Temple at all, but from the world left behind by the future Star King Buddha.

Because it was sent here personally by the six-tusked white elephant as the mount of the future Star King Buddha, it was contaminated with his aura.

Just as Rabbit said, the future Star King Buddha had already told Jiangchuan where the treasure he left behind was!

Then a biting chill came from the bottom of Jiangchuan's heart.

Jiang Chuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"It was only in the simulation, when I became close to An Yunyi, that I saw the Heavenly Demon Bewitching Immortal Diagram in An Yunyi's hand. I've never seen An Yunyi's Heavenly Demon Bewitching Immortal Diagram in real life."

"If all of this was planned by the Future Starry Lord Buddha, then did the Future Starry Lord Buddha know what happened in my simulation, or did I interrupt the Future Starry Lord Buddha's plan because I have a love simulator?"

"The latter is easy to say. It means that I broke the plan of the future Star King Buddha Patriarch with the help of the love simulator. If it's the former..."

Jiang Chuan took a deep breath and suppressed all the thoughts in his mind.

"It shouldn't be the former. If it were the former, then wouldn't the Love Simulator be able to change the fate of time and space at will? Even the treasure of the Fourteenth Realm Supreme Being might not be able to do that."

"Boy, has the future Star King Buddha Master really planned it long ago and given you a hint?" Elder Jingzhen asked in a voice transmission.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said in a voice transmission: "If we return to Qingyuan Realm, we should be able to find the treasure left behind by the future Xingxiu Zunwang Buddha Patriarch."

Elder Jingzhen asked in surprise, "Where is the treasure left behind by the future Star King Buddha?"

"do not know."

Elder Jingzhen: ???

You said yourself that you can find the treasures left behind by the future Star King Buddha Patriarch by returning to Qingyuan Realm.

As a result, when I asked you, you told me you didn't know.

Do you really think I have no temper?

If I were you more than forty years ago, I would have asked you to chop eight thousand kilograms of firewood!
After bidding farewell to Abbot Fayue, Jiangchuan and others drove the Cloud Piercing Divine Boat and left Huaguang Temple.

"Huh? Jingyang, aren't we going back to Bodhi Temple? Why are we heading southeast?" Elder Kong Bei was puzzled.

"I happened to learn that there was an opportunity left by the Evil-Destroying Golden Buddha in Hongyan Mountain of Xuanming Land. I planned to take the opportunity left by the Evil-Destroying Golden Buddha first, and then return to Qingyuan Realm." Jiang Chuan explained.

"You are really outrageous, you encounter adventures wherever you go."

Elder Jingzhen's eyes were filled with envy: "If I had the adventures you have, I think I would have almost attained Buddhahood by now!"

"Don't flatter yourself. The Buddhist world will not accept scum like you." Patriarch Ziyun said contemptuously.

Elder Jingzhen: “.”

Su Hanguang, you are a waste!
Why didn't your damn magic spell burn this dead cat to death?
"Master Shuangyu! I consider you a friend, yet you stole the most precious treasure from my palace. Today I will kill you!"

Accompanied by an angry roar, two beams of fairy light rushed towards Jiangchuan.

Above the two beams of fairy light, there is a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in gray, with a sinister face and loose snow-white hair.

The female fairy at the back holds a dazzling pagoda in her hand, with picturesque features, as if she is a fairy walking out of a painting, extremely beautiful.

It was Ye Qingyan, the deputy palace master of the Immortal Palace, whom Jiang Chuan had met once in the simulation.

Ye Qingyan noticed Jiang Chuan and the others and shouted, "Fellow Daoists, please help me stop this thief. My Immortal Palace will reward you handsomely!"

"The world is frozen!"

Taoist Frost Feather's white hair danced wildly, and a terrifying chill emanated from his body, like a erupting volcano.

Wherever the cold wind passes, icebergs appear out of thin air.

"court death!"

Jiang Chuan didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just because he left Huaguang Temple one hour later than in the simulation, and he didn't expect that Taoist Frost Feather would take direct action.
