Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 934 The World Honored One, a Good Friend of the Lower Realm

An endless grid permeates the dim universe, emitting a faint, flickering light, intertwined and overlapping, an inextricable tangled mess.

However, in this very place, a blazing sun suddenly entered Lü Yang's field of vision. The scorching white light flowed across his robes, then disintegrated, transforming into a hazy, colorful light that scattered and merged into the great net of cause and effect below, illuminating the faces of countless monks.

【Vairocana Buddha of the Vajradhatu Mandala】.

'No, it's the World Honored One!'

Lü Yang's teeth chattered slightly, but he immediately clenched them: 'At least at this moment, the person standing before me is definitely the World Honored One's true consciousness.'

There is only one basis for judgment—

"Ti Muni, this is the Buddha's true name. In his previous life, when Angxiao sought confirmation in the underworld, he used this name to elicit the Buddha's response!"

If it were merely a mere clone, how could it dare to use the true name of the World Honored One?

He resisted the urge to reopen it.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to reopen it; the main reason was that he hadn't realized his perfect Dao heart had been eroded and was still operating normally.

This is quite subtle.
After all, the Buddha's corrupting influence is obvious to all, and the Star Palace has suffered greatly from it. Yet now the Buddha is standing right in front of him, and he doesn't even feel it.

Either they are beyond saving.

Either the Buddha really didn't attack him.

If it were the former, I would have been finished long ago, and the World Honored One would have discovered the "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes." Since it wasn't, it must be the latter.

At this moment, Lü Yang's thoughts raced, countless ideas surged forth, yet he suppressed them all, then prostrated himself heavily as if overturning a mountain of gold and a jade pillar:
"I am fortunate to have met you, Master of the Palm Technique."

"Boom!"

Before Lü Yang could finish speaking, a clap of thunder interrupted him, and he was astonished to find that he could no longer utter the words "World Honored One".

He looked up and saw the man who called himself "Ti Muni" smiling, then shaking his head: "I am the Vajradhatu Vairocana Buddha, not the person you think I am, at least not now, because if I were that person, I would have been discovered by others."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was now 100% certain that the person before him was the World-Honored One, and not one of the previous Tathagatas. However, there was one thing the World-Honored One had indeed said correctly.

The Dao Lord is too powerful.

From his lofty vantage point on the other shore, even a single glance from him could bring the mortal world to a standstill, and the commotion would inevitably attract the attention of other Dao Lords.

But the Vajradhatu Vairocana Buddha before him did not give him that feeling.

However, he used the World Honored One's original name, which has extraordinary significance for a being like the Dao Lord, so it is impossible for him not to be his true form.

Why is this so?
Having undergone rigorous training within the Holy Sect, Lü Yang had recovered from the initial shock of being suddenly confronted by the World Honored One and quickly arrived at the answer:
'Venerable One, did you travel incognito this time, sneaking down here secretly?'

Hiding it from the other Dao Lords? You've come to see me?

Once this thought arose, everything before could be explained—the Buddha did not come to kill; he truly only wanted to come and talk.

Despite this, Lü Yang dared not relax in the slightest. He kept his head down and remained silent, pondering to himself: 'I understand now. No wonder he lacked great power. The World-Honored One granted him his original name, allowing his ego to secretly borrow the golden body of the Vajradhatu Mandala Buddha to descend to the mortal realm.'

This is something only the World-Honored One could do.

Firstly, it's probably because the World Honored One's position wasn't high enough, and his cultivation was the weakest among the four Dao Lords, making it easier for him to descend to the mortal world compared to the other three.

Secondly, it is because everyone is of one mind.

【Vairocana Buddha of the Vajradhatu Mandala】is his enlightened form. By bestowing his original name, he grafts cause and effect, and borrows his body, which is not incomprehensible.

—So here's the question. What exactly does the World Honored One want to talk to about me, an ant who isn't even a Great True Lord, that would lead him to secretly descend to the mortal realm to find me, without the knowledge of the other Dao Lords?
Just then, the voice from the head of the table drifted down:
"Okay, good."

Lu Yang kept his head down, remaining silent. However, the next sentence from [Vajradhatu Mahavairocana Tathagata] made him dizzy and almost faint:
"Fellow Daoist has quite the ambition."

"If I had not integrated all the factors and observed the variables from a distance, I probably would not have known that the collapse of the underworld and the re-overthrow of the other shore would truly be a great calamity."

How could that be?

At this moment, only this thought remained in Lü Yang's mind, and disbelief and incredulity were almost written all over his face.

The "Other Shore Collapse Plan" has been exposed!?
What a joke! Although he has been gathering the necessary information, he has only been thinking about it in his mind so far and has never told anyone else!
Even the Primordial Heavenly Demon was only described in general terms.

He kept the specific methods and means strictly secret, but now the World Honored One has revealed them directly, as if he had known them all along!
Lu Yang almost ground his teeth to powder. He felt the other person's voice fall into his ears. It was spoken casually, but it made his head buzz like a great bell. However, the last bit of rationality allowed him to calm himself down. He forced his face to stay straight, tilted his head, and showed an innocent expression.

"Hahaha!"

The World Honored One burst into laughter: "As expected of a disciple of the Holy Sect, your expression is so natural. Someone who didn't know your background would have been fooled!"

What's the background? What's the background?
Upon hearing this, Lü Yang suddenly felt a sense of unease: 'Speaking of which, in the eyes of the Dao Lord, what exactly is my origin now?'

His background is related to the "Book of a Hundred Generations".

For Golden Core True Monarchs, they cannot fathom the matter; they can only believe that they have severed cause and effect. But what is the Dao Lord to them?
There must be a reasonable explanation, otherwise the Dao Lord would have killed himself long ago.

However, he had always attributed the cause of this problem to the omnipotent "Book of a Hundred Lifetimes," opening it whenever asked, without ever delving into the details.

"I really don't know about the revisions."

"It's better not to know."

[Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata] smiled and shook his head: "Angxiao, Tingyou, Feixue, and fellow Daoist, it is a blessing if you do not know, but it would be a misfortune if you knew."

What does it mean?
Lu Yang was even more confused, but dared not think any further. He simply memorized these words. Seeing this, [Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata] continued softly:

"Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured."

"Since I have come to see you at this time, I am certainly not here to harm you. On the contrary, I am very interested in your plan to overthrow the other shore."

At this point, the Vajra Realm Great Sun Tathagata looked at Lü Yang with a kind expression and even reached out to help him up from the ground: "Fellow Daoist was born too late and does not know my reputation back then. When I was in the Holy Sect, I was known for my fondness for dealing with lower-level cultivators."

"I'm a good friend to those who are correcting their mistakes."

“Take Angxiao for example. He received a favor from me back then. If I hadn’t encouraged him, do you think he would have achieved what he has today?”

really?
Lu Yang didn't believe it at all, but he immediately put on an expression of worship, respect and admiration, which made the World Honored One's eyes twitch slightly.

Hey, even the First Sage has set a bad example.

Did you figure it out?

Under the gaze of the Vajradhatu Vairocana Buddha, Lü Yang's expression remained unchanged, his eyes calm as he met his gaze.

That's right, Lü Yang figured it out.

'Although his entrance was startling and revealed some secrets, he appeared very composed, but in reality, the World Honored One has probably come to seek cooperation!'

In an instant, boundless courage flowed into Lü Yang's heart.

'Don't let yourself be intimidated!'

'If we're intimidated, the cooperation will turn into a freebie! We must hold on. Even if we die, it's worth it if we can squeeze even a little bit out of the World Honored One!'
