Chapter 465: A rare opportunity to fight for Buddha's original
"After much effort, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel!"

Chen Mu's mind was lifted, and he quickly sat upright, trying his best to endure the pain and cooperate with Ran Deng to destroy the murderous intent.

The lights flickered and the darkness gradually faded.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Chen Mu, who was immersed in burning murderous intent, suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and looked around, but there was no longer the bean-sized light or the dark world.

What came into view was the hall with the Buddha statues and Master Kongjie sitting silently.

He was moved and quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your help!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Jie waved his hand and said softly, "Thank you for your words too early. You carry so much murderous intent within you that it won't be cleared away in a short while."

Chen Mu had anticipated this, and after a brief investigation, he found that, as expected, the killing intent in his sea of ​​consciousness had only been reduced by less than 10%. Based on this, he deduced that if he wanted to eradicate the killing intent, Master Kongjie would need to attack him more than ten times...

"Master, thank you for your trouble. I am naturally grateful. Why should I speak too early?"

He smiled and bowed again to express his gratitude. The hidden danger that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time had been solved. Not to mention thanking him once, even ten or a hundred times would not be a big deal.

Seeing this, Kong Jie's eyes flickered slightly, his brows knitted slightly, he shook his head and sighed, "To be honest, my friend, the way of killing has been around for thousands of years, and we have different traditions. Expelling your killing intent has consumed my entire mind, and this one time alone has cost me three years of hard training..."

Chen Mu's brows tightened when he heard this, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Kong Jie seemed oblivious and continued, "Under normal circumstances, a few decades of practice would naturally not be enough to match what Fellow Daoist Tian Xing has entrusted to me. But now that the battle for the Buddha's origin is approaching, I cannot stay out of it. I can only inconvenience you for now..."

"The dispute over the Buddha's origin?"

Chen Mu's face darkened slightly, and even with his cautious nature he almost couldn't control his expression, which showed that his thoughts were racing.

Although he didn't know what the dispute over the Buddha's origin was, no one would be in a good mood if they finally had hope of resolving the hidden danger but were told that they had to wait.

"Master, may I ask, what is the dispute over the origin of the Buddha..."

Kong Jie sighed deeply, his expression a mixture of longing and a little fear, extremely complicated.

"The Western Desert is the birthplace of Buddhism. For thousands of years, every thousand years, a true Buddha would appear here, passing on his lineage. All Buddhist disciples could inherit his legacy, and those who received it were called Buddha's children...

Unlike you Taoists, if we Buddhist disciples want to break through to the realm of transformation, we must first become children of Buddha and receive gifts from the true Buddha. This has been the case for thousands of years without exception.

Therefore, every time a true Buddha lineage appears, it will cause a dispute throughout the Western Desert, which we also call the dispute over the Buddha's origin..."

Chen Mu's heart was beating fast. This was the first time he heard that in order to break through to the realm of transformation, one must first obtain the inheritance of the True Buddha.

"The Buddhist cultivators of the Western Desert are truly different from our Taoist sect..."

He pondered to himself, still feeling somewhat doubtful.

"Master, your temple is very powerful and should be the leader of the Western Desert. Logically, the True Buddha lineage should belong to your temple. Why do you need to make such a plan?"

Kong Jie smiled slightly and said, "Then do you know why our Great Leiyin Temple is so powerful?"

Chen Mu's expression hesitated for a moment and he shook his head.

"A thousand years ago, the lineage of the True Buddha Namo Narayana descended, and it was our Great Leiyin Temple that obtained it. Uncle Shenzheng used it to attain Buddhahood and achieve the state of Divine Transformation. That is why he ensured the prosperity of our Great Leiyin Temple for a thousand years."

Kong Jie knew everything and introduced it to him.

"It's a pity that the Divine Transformation cultivators can't participate in the battle for the Buddha's origin. And in the Western Desert, without the advantage of the Divine Transformation, our Great Leiyin Temple won't be able to dominate...

There are three Buddhist temples with similar strength to ours: Tianlongyuan, Fumoguan, and Zizai Temple. We cannot afford to be careless in the face of them. "

Chen Mu nodded. No wonder everyone in the Western Desert wanted to inherit the True Buddha's tradition. The current situation of the Great Leiyin Temple showed this. To become a Divine Transformation cultivator by obtaining the inheritance was enough to ensure the prosperity of one's own temple for a thousand or even tens of thousands of years!
If Beiyuan were in his place, he would probably fight for it regardless of the consequences... "But, that Luo Yan Zhen Buddha... why does he sound so familiar?"

He concentrated on thinking, and in a moment he thought of a familiar reason.

But when it was in the Xuantian Secret Land, the magical power displayed by the monk Fenxin from the East Sea was called Naloyana Heaven...

"So, it seems that Fenxin is also related to the Great Leiyin Temple..."

His eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately put away the mixed thoughts in his mind. No matter what kind of relationship the dead Fenxin had with the Great Leiyin Temple, it was not something he needed to consider now.

The most urgent task is how to eliminate the erosion of murderous intent. He is not a Buddhist cultivator from the Western Desert. Even if the true Buddhist tradition is placed in front of him, it will not have much to do with him.

Perhaps he had seen what he was thinking. After a moment's thought, Kong Jie said, "I can't spare the time to expel your killing intent, but I can assign a disciple to help you. This can also be considered as an explanation to Fellow Daoist Tian Xing."

Hearing this, Chen Mu felt a little moved, but not too happy.

There was no other reason. If this matter could be solved so easily, Master Kongjie would not have shaken his head and sighed just now.

The result was as he expected. Kong Jie continued, "It's just that there are not many disciples who practice the Heart Mantra of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, and those who have reached a high level are even rarer.

Only if your nephew Hui Zhen of the Hui generation has formed a golden elixir, and he helps you expel the murderous intent, you can also succeed, but it will take a little longer..."

"Master, how long will it take?" Chen Mu asked.

"Thirty years."

Chen Mu frowned when he heard this. Thirty years was neither long nor short for him who had formed a golden elixir. If it could really free him from the erosion of murderous intent, he would not feel sorry.

But Master Kongjie's next words made him deny this method.

"During this period, my friend, you must not leave Lingshan more than a hundred miles away, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted..."

Chen Mu complained in his heart and looked at Master Kongjie with a serious face. He was not sure whether his request was true or not.

If he, a disciple of the Daoist sect, stayed in this Buddhist sect for thirty years, even with the Three Pure Ones Bell given by the ancestor, he would eventually be tempted by the Buddha's thoughts and become a monk...

“This method is not acceptable.”

He pondered for a moment, then carefully asked again, "Besides this, Master, do you have anything else to share?"

"Have."

Chen Mu's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Master, please teach me!"

Unwilling to leave at this point, I inquired further and found out a pleasant surprise...

Kong Jie clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Join my Buddhist sect and practice the 'Heart Mantra of the Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp'. Like me, your murderous intent will naturally dissipate..."

The eminent monk was talking eloquently and teaching the young man in Taoist robes below. If others saw this scene, they would probably regard it as a good topic of conversation in Buddhism.

Chen Mu's face darkened slightly, and he forced a smile and replied, "Master, you are joking. How can a cultivator like me from the Yidao Sect enter Buddhism?"

“Who says it’s impossible? All living beings have Buddha nature. As long as you are willing to cultivate Buddhism, the Buddha will be within you.

I see that my friend has a deep affinity with Buddhism. If he were to join the Buddhist sect and diligently study Buddhism, perhaps after a thousand years, he could even attain the status of a Buddha’s son…”
