Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 152: Transforming the Barbarians and Destroying the West, Guiding a Grand Vision!

At the summit of the snowy mountain, the sea of ​​clouds surged, and Duobao's body was filled with golden light. He clasped his hands together and looked up at the sky. The Great Dao's maxims flowed around him, and his voice was as loud as a bell, resounding throughout the three realms.

"Heaven's will is above, Duobao is dead, only Shakyamuni remains! The karma of the past Jie Sect and the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods have all vanished with this body!"

"Rumble"

In an instant, the heavenly order began to respond to Shakyamuni's vow.

Shakyamuni Buddha slowly rose cross-legged on the lotus platform, and the burst of Buddhist light pierced through the clouds, outlining the three Buddhist characters "emptiness," "suffering," and "cessation" in the void, which dyed the world golden.

"This humble monk makes a vow!"

Shakyamuni's lotus throne rose to the ninth heaven, and the snow mountain beneath his feet suddenly transformed into a pure land of crystal.

"Establish Mahayana Buddhism, open up the Saha world, and deliver beings from the three evil realms to extinguish the flames of karma forever! May all beings suffering in the eight realms be freed from greed, anger, and ignorance!"

In an instant, Shakyamuni's boundless power manifested countless Buddha lands in the void, and his entire body emitted immeasurable light, illuminating the Nine Netherworlds and the Thirty-Three Heavens.

The laws of Heaven suddenly twisted and trembled, and a purple-gold fortune poured down like a waterfall, while the golden light of merit transformed into a sky full of necklaces surrounding his body.

In an instant, the Bodhi tree in the Saha world grew wildly to ten thousand feet tall, each leaf reflecting the appearances of sentient beings in different times and spaces.

The water of merit surged into a celestial river, and countless apsaras chanting scriptures were born from the waves.

At the summit of the Great Snow Mountain, the perpetually white snow suddenly boiled and surged. Duobao was surrounded by a dazzling Buddhist light, his hands formed a mudra, and he chanted mantras. The entire snow mountain began to tremble violently, and countless cracks appeared in the mountain, from which wisps of chaotic energy overflowed.

"rise!"

Shakyamuni gave a low shout and suddenly spread his hands to the sides.

The chaotic energy shot into the sky like a living thing, spinning rapidly in the air to form a huge vortex.

At the center of the vortex, golden Buddhist characters fell like raindrops, each character containing supreme Buddhist teachings, merging with the chaotic energy and gradually outlining the prototype of the world.

Every rock and every snowflake on the snow-capped mountain begins to radiate a lustrous sheen, transforming into the foundation stones and dust that build the world.

A golden light instantly entered the vortex between Shakyamuni's eyebrows, illuminating the entire chaotic space.

Where the light shines, lotuses bloom, auspicious clouds appear, golden rivers meander, and verdant pure lands slowly emerge.

As merit and great fortune descend upon him, and as he continuously displays his great supernatural powers, the outline of the world becomes increasingly clear.

The majestic Ling Mountain rose abruptly from the ground, and a magnificent hall instantly appeared atop it. The sound of chanting filled the air, and the clear Seven Treasure Lotus Pond shimmered with light, its lotus blossoms displaying countless forms.

The Boundless Buddha Kingdom floated in the void, surrounded by auspicious light and mist, and the entire space was enveloped in a solemn and peaceful atmosphere.

"The Saha World is complete!"

Shakyamuni raised his hands high and shouted.

In an instant, a deafening roar resounded throughout the world, and the newly born world instantly stabilized.

Shakyamuni Buddha stands at the center of the world, his Buddha-light shining down upon this world he created with his own hands.

At the same time, Shakyamuni Buddha himself attained enlightenment, and in an instant, the time came to sever his second corpse.

At this moment, when Li Er, who had just converted the barbarians, was gaining merit from Duobao, he also instantly gained immense merit. In an instant, a hundred-foot-long crack appeared in the sky, and golden merit poured down like an inverted celestial river.

The Vajra Bracelet flew out of Li Er's sleeve on its own, and the Tai Chi diagram flowing on the bracelet spun wildly, like a vortex, taking in all the overwhelming merits within it.

As the torrent of merit flowed in, countless scriptures appeared on the surface of the Vajra Bracelet, namely the Daoist and Virtue Classics written by Laozi (Li Er).

These scriptures sometimes transformed into flying immortals dancing, sometimes into sages discussing the Dao, and finally into tangible chains wrapped around the bracelet.

The chaotic energy at the heart of the bracelet was washed away by merit and gradually transformed into a pure milky white light.

Under the weight of immense merit, a treasure of acquired merit is taking shape.

As the last wisp of merit entered the Vajra Bracelet, the bracelet suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of millions of miles frantically gathered, forming a huge golden wheel of merit.

Within the golden wheel, the Vajra Bracelet floats in the center, radiating a soft yet majestic light. The power of merit flows across it like liquid, announcing the birth of a precious treasure of acquired merit.

The Vajra Bracelet can not only encircle all the magical treasures in the world, but also contains immeasurable merit. It can suppress karma, reverse the universe, and kill without incurring any karmic consequences!
The emergence of Mahayana Buddhism was due to Lao Tzu's personal enlightenment, transmission of the Tao, and enlightenment. The merit of this is naturally immense.

When Li Er saw Shakyamuni attain enlightenment, he couldn't help but smile slightly. After teaching Yin Xi the swordsmanship and the Two Elements Micro Dust Array and the Primordial Chaos Taiqing Talisman, he sent him to Shu Mountain to establish a sect. After giving him some instructions, he rode his green ox back to the Tushita Palace.

"Junior brother, I never imagined that this old man's scheme would be so ruthless. He intends to destroy our Western Sect. What should we do?"

In the Heaven of Ten Thousand Buddhas, seeing Lao Tzu enlighten Duobao to become a Buddha, and then evolve the Saha World and establish Mahayana Buddhism, Jieyin and Zhunti were immediately stunned.

At this moment, both of them were caught off guard and didn't know what to do.

Zhunti took a deep breath: "Send Kong Xuan to kill Duobao!"

At Zhunti's command, Kong Xuan's body surged with five-colored divine light, transforming into a giant five-colored peacock that blotted out the sky. With each flap of its wings, it tore through the void and sped toward the summit of the snow mountain.

At this moment, the Buddha's light emanating from Shakyamuni was intertwined with the merits of the heavens.

At this moment, as the giant peacock swooped down, the clouds in the sky were shredded into dust by the five-colored divine light, and its sharp cry shook the snow-capped mountains, causing the towering ice cliffs to collapse with a deafening roar.

Shakyamuni Buddha's eyes narrowed slightly, but before he could unleash his supernatural powers, he was swallowed up by the peacock's abyss-like maw, and the world was plunged into chaos.

In the darkness, the Buddhist inscriptions surrounding Shakyamuni Buddha suddenly burst forth, illuminating the inside of the peacock's belly.

Shakyamuni Buddha sat cross-legged in the void, his hands forming a mudra, his voice like a great bell echoing in the chaos: "Peacock, you are the perfect opportunity for this humble monk to sever his corpse!"

As the Heavenly Dao's merits and the Great Dao's laws intertwined, Shakyamuni Buddha seized the opportunity to sever his second corpse, eliminating both good and evil, and thus ascended to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint!
"break!"

Shakyamuni Buddha struck out with both palms, and a dazzling Buddhist light burst forth from the peacock's abdomen, instantly splitting open Kong Xuan's abdomen.

Kong Xuan fell to the ground with a mournful cry, covered in blood but unable to move, while golden chains appeared on his primordial spirit.

Shakyamuni Buddha emerged from the lotus throne, seated cross-legged, accompanied by golden light. He lightly touched Kong Xuan's brow with his fingertip: "I attained enlightenment within your womb; you are the Buddha Mother. I hereby bestow upon you the title of Peacock King Bodhisattva!"

As the imperial edict was issued, Kong Xuan's wounds healed instantly, a dazzling Buddhist crown appeared on his head, and a pair of wings burning with golden flames sprouted from his back.

Kong Xuan had no choice but to obey: "I will obey the Buddha's decree!" At the summit of the snow mountain, the sound of Buddhist chants and the clear chirping of peacocks intertwined. Kong Xuan had become famous since the time of the Conferred Gods, but at this moment he was subdued by Duobao.

The changes in the Three Realms at this moment are so drastic. Just now, the Mi Fei Flower bloomed to the ninth grade, and all those who became disciples were blessed with great fortune and merit.

At this moment, Duobao unexpectedly established Mahayana Buddhism, aiming at the Western Religion, and immediately gained even greater fortune and merit. This great fortune evolved into the Saha World, causing Mount Ling to rise from the ground.

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that with the start of the Heavenly Dao's literary fortune, such tremendous changes would occur in the Three Realms, leaving us breathless! What will the future state of the Three Realms look like?"

"."

With such a tremendous change in the Three Realms, Jin Lingyunxiao and others came to Yin Ziyu's place.

Yunxiao exclaimed in amazement, "The Supreme One's move is truly extraordinary! The Western Sect is in grave danger!"

Jin Ling frowned: "Senior Brother Duobao has settled his karmic ties with the Jie Sect and is no longer Duobao. I just realized that Duobao's karmic ties with the Jie Sect have been completely severed, and he is no longer Senior Brother!"

Yin Ziyu looked westward calmly: "Not only is he not the senior brother of the fairies, but he will probably be our greatest enemy in the future!"

"What makes you say such a thing, 'a formidable enemy'?"

Yin Ziyu's words immediately drew gasps from everyone.

"Now that Duobao has abandoned his past karma and become the Buddha, he has established Mahayana Buddhism with the help of great merit and great fortune. In the future, Duobao will surely go east to attain enlightenment. If so, he will surely be our great enemy!"

Yin Ziyu's words made everyone's expressions turn serious.

Is that really the case?

"Let's keep watching. The evolution is not over yet. Let's see how the Western Religion responds. This is a strategy to divide the Western Religion! As expected of the Supreme Lord, what a brilliant plan! Mahayana Buddhism surpasses the Western Religion in name alone, turning the Western Religion into a small local power that can only exist in the West. Mahayana Buddhism, on the other hand, has surpassed the West, carrying on the past and opening up the future, and has the momentum to truly go beyond the West and cover all worlds!"

Just as Yin Ziyu said, the moment Mahayana Buddhism was established, the fortune of the entire Mount Sumeru swept in like a hurricane and began to surge into Mount Ling like a tide!
Even the twelve-petaled golden lotus could not suppress them all.

If it were a supreme treasure, it could suppress the fortune. However, the Western Sect does not have a supreme treasure. Faced with this act of dividing the fortune, coupled with Kong Xuan's failure, the Western Sect is in grave danger.

"Ziyu, could it be that the Western Church is going to be exterminated?"

Looking at the overwhelming momentum of Mahayana Buddhism, Yin Ziyu said, "The destruction of the religion is inevitable. It just depends on whether the Western Religion wants to maintain its dignity. In any case, Mahayana Buddhism will surpass the Western Religion in both name and doctrine. The Western Religion's Pure Land appeared in ancient times, when spiritual energy was abundant. Only by providing a better world can it attract cultivators from the primordial era. But now the Three Realms are filled with the mundane world. How can suffering beings reach the Pure Land? Only in Samsara can there be the Pure Land!"

In fact, Western religions were simply not suited to the times, while Lao Tzu's creation of the Saha world was much more appropriate, thus eliminating Western religions both in name and in concept.

This method is exactly the same as the Chan sect's use of the sixty-four hexagrams to eliminate the eight trigrams!
The Eight Trigrams originated when the human race was small and the human race was very simple. As the human race grew, more and more problems arose, and the Eight Trigrams could no longer cope with such a complex group of beings.

If the eight trigrams evolved into sixty-four hexagrams, they would be fully applicable, thus rendering the eight trigrams obsolete.

The Western religion originated in ancient times, when there were no mortals and the West was barren.

In order to attract people from the East, they had to make grand promises, saying that those who came would be in paradise. This is how the Paradise was formed!

The post-Investiture of the Gods world order brought opportunities to the Saha Path.

Then this bliss is an unattainable delusion, like a utopia.

Both are for the same reason: the world has changed and become more complex. The mortal world is no longer as simple as it was in ancient times.

During the Investiture of the Gods period, why did so many disciples of the Jie Sect, as well as Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and others, leave the mountains with only a little protection? It was because these people were born in the simple and honest ancient times, and it was fashionable for them to leave the world at that time.

This applies to both demons and other races.

Only after the birth of humankind did many complex things slowly begin to evolve.

Therefore, neither the Eight Trigrams nor the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss are suitable for the beings of the Three Realms today.

In this vast and chaotic world, all beings suffer, and the cycle of cause and effect complicates the entire Three Realms. Only when a path suitable for all beings emerges will the inferior paths be eliminated.

"Senior brother, what should we do? If Kong Xuan fails this time, our sect will be destroyed!"

The first look on the guide's face was one of sorrow for all living beings, but it suddenly became more complex, even one of liberation.

"Junior brother, do you still remember what our greatest ambition was?"

Zhunti was taken aback and said, "Senior brother, it is about bringing prosperity to the West and making it no longer a barren land!"

Jieyin nodded: "Yes, the prosperity of the West is what we have always aspired to after our birth, to revive the West and establish Western religion. Now that Duobao is establishing Mahayana Buddhism, why should we worry? Duobao will become a Westerner if he enters the West. The Saha world is better than the Pure Land, isn't that a blessing for the West? Since that's the case, whoever greatly promotes the West is inheriting our will. So why should we be enemies with them?"

"Senior brother, now that Mahayana Buddhism wants to destroy our sect, what should we do? Should we negotiate peace with Duobao?"

After listening, Jieyin said calmly, "Junior brother, why negotiate peace? Let's completely integrate the entire Western Religion into Mahayana Buddhism, fulfilling Shakyamuni's wishes. With our Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the twelve-petaled golden lotus, and the entire fortune of the Western Religion, all will be integrated into Mahayana Buddhism, with Shakyamuni as the center. In this way, the fortune of Mahayana Buddhism will be perfected. At that time, all Mahayana Buddhists will have their cultivation improved, and the West will truly have the opportunity to flourish!"

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti pondered for a moment and then completely agreed.

Yes!

Don't forget your original intention: to make the West prosperous. If that's the case, why care who is making the West prosperous?

"Therefore, I will follow my senior brother's advice and completely integrate the entire Western religion into Mahayana Buddhism, with Shakyamuni as the World Honored One!"

"good"

Under the decree of the Bodhisattvas Jieyin and Zhunti, Dipankara Buddha of Mount Sumeru led the entire Western Sect to Mount Ling, offering twelve golden lotuses and fully integrating into Mahayana Buddhism.

Deeply moved by the selflessness of the Bodhisattvas Jieyin and Zhunti, Shakyamuni Buddha revered Dipankara Buddha as the ancient Buddha, Maitreya Buddha as the future Buddha, Amitabha Buddha as the Supreme Master, and Zhunti Buddha as the Mother of Zhunti.

Because Amitabha Buddha's decree to integrate the two religions has great merit, Shakyamuni Buddha decreed that Mahayana Buddhism, including the Buddha himself, requires the recitation of Amitabha Buddha's name before speaking at any time.

When the two religions merged, the entire Mahayana Buddhism instantly reached its peak of fortune, and the entire Mount Ling was instantly bathed in golden light of fortune. Everyone in Buddhism made breakthroughs, including the three great masters, Kong Xuan, and the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha, all of whom were veteran Great Luo Golden Immortals who severed their corpses. In an instant, Mahayana Buddhism became the number one power in the Three Realms.

This scene left all beings in the Three Realms speechless. Yin Ziyu sighed inwardly, though he knew what was going on, he was still deeply impressed by the grand vision of the guide.

Yin Ziyu's gaze pierced through endless time and space and landed on Mount Ling, instantly attracting the attention of Shakyamuni Buddha. The two paths of Buddha's intention and Yin Ziyu's path of the heart clashed briefly.

Yin Ziyu understood at this moment that his future opponent in the path to enlightenment would be Duobao, and there would be no one else.

Just like the battle between Rahu and Hongjun in one lifetime, if I want to attain enlightenment in the future, my only opponent will be Shakyamuni!
