The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 26 Demon Buddha Ananda? The Supreme Being of All Ages?
The small jade Buddha is about the size of a thumb, with exquisite carving and lifelike appearance. It also has a warm and delicate feel when you touch it, making it a treasure at first glance.

More importantly, holding the small jade Buddha, Zhong Xu felt that the circulation of the Great Brahma Prajna within his body became lighter, giving him a very comfortable feeling.

'What a treasure! But the little jade Buddha and the old monk... this scene looks familiar. I feel like I've seen it in some novel before.'

Which one?

As he caressed the warm and delicate little jade Buddha, Zhong Xu's inner world surged. His experiences over this period of time flowed through his mind, connecting with each other, giving him a feeling that he had grasped some key information.

However, a veil of mystery seemed to shroud his mind, preventing him from truly connecting these pieces of information.

After a long while, Zhong Xu sensed something and immediately immersed his mind in the sea of ​​his soul, shouting, "Brother Zhong, help me!"

Boom!
A clear, resonant bell tolled from the depths of his soul, originating from the complete, silent Eastern Emperor Bell, like a thunderclap, instantly echoing throughout Zhong Xu's vast inner world.

At the same time, a grand chanting of scriptures resounded, coming from the hundreds of ancient characters left by Shi Hao and the engravings on the bronze coffin engraved in Zhong Xu's heart.

The three combined were like a giant axe that cut through everything, completely tearing away the fog that shrouded Zhong Xu's mind.

boom

The deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, resonated through Zhong Xu's mind. He felt a sense of liberation, as if the heavy shackles in his heart had been completely broken, and his mind became more lively and agile than ever before.

'This is the real me now!'

Countless insights surfaced in Zhong Xu's mind, and he felt a heartfelt joy, which made his mind more composed.

Looking at the small jade Buddha in his hand, a scene from a novel he had read in his previous life instantly flashed into his mind.

'Little Jade Buddha, Mang Jingang, Zhen Ding. No, it's Yuanshi Tianzun, Meng Qi.'

'Holy shit.'

Zhong Xu was startled; a flood of past information surfaced in his mind, constantly being reassembled:
'The Great Brahma Prajna, a fusion of Buddhism and demonic power. The Tathagata Palm, derived and sublimated from the Great Brahma Prajna. A bizarre cultivation system akin to martial arts training. The Breaking the Precepts Blade, capable of severing cause and effect. An old monk possessing both Buddhist and demonic intent.'

As the pieces of information continued to connect, they gradually overlapped with a certain world and a certain person in Zhong Xu's memory.

'Damn it, the Demon Buddha Ananda!'

Zhong Xu stood there stunned, his mind churning with a tidal wave of thoughts.

He had considered that this world of Jade Dynasty was not simple, and he had also considered that the old monk's origins were extraordinary, but he never expected the truth to be like this.

Zhong Xu now understands the true situation of the world of Jade Dynasty that he has transmigrated to.

The Supreme Being!
The world he transmigrated to, Zhu Xian, was probably just a small world, a fragment of time, beneath the heavens, belonging to the supreme being of all ages.

As the powerful presence of this realm and the information about the Demon Buddha Ananda surfaced in his mind, Zhong Xu's lips twitched involuntarily.

His previous idea was wrong!
This is a vast world that is almost as powerful as the world he previously traversed, the world of "Covering the Sky".

In this cultivation system of the myriad heavens, the early stages of opening the meridians, accumulating qi, and opening the acupoints are relatively easy to understand, which is equivalent to the low to medium martial arts level in the martial arts world.

This is similar to the realm division of the "Great Brahma Prajna" that Zhong Xu is currently cultivating. Now that he has opened his eye consciousness, he should be in the realm of enlightenment.

The subsequent "opening of consciousness" likely refers to cultivating the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows, opening the gate of life and death, and achieving a semi-transcendental realm where the inner and outer worlds resonate.

The subsequent condensation of Buddhist Dharma images and attainment of the supreme power of Buddhism likely refers to the external realm.

This cultivation system further confirmed his guess: this strange world of Zhuxian was a small world beneath all the heavens, belonging to the supreme being of this world. With this cultivation system, once one reached the Outer Realm level, their combat power would skyrocket to the level of high-level fantasy martial arts. Zhong Xu even suspected that the most powerful experts in the Zhuxian world were probably equivalent to ordinary Outer Realm cultivators.

For the heavens and earth, the first four realms are merely the foundation; only upon reaching the Dharma Body level can one truly enter the inner sanctum.

Once a Dharma body is formed, imbued with the principles of Dharma, it can be considered a terrestrial immortal. With a single word, it can alter the rules of the world in ordinary small worlds outside the real world, causing immortals and gods to fall into the mortal realm.

The subsequent transformation from Dharmakaya to Legendary is a metamorphosis that can be described as a dimensional ascension, unique in all realms, with combat power skyrocketing.

Not to mention the later creation, the other shore, and the Dao fruit.

Leaving aside the Dao Fruit for now, reaching this level means transcending worldly concerns. Since the beginning of time, only one and a half people in all the heavens have ever achieved this.

At the level of the Other Shore, one can look back on the past and encompass the future. The past and future are unique, and one can freely change the timeline without involving other beings or things at the same level, allowing the timeline to restart. Without the obstruction of other beings at the Other Shore, it can be described as omnipotent.

It can be said that in this realm of heavens, the gap between those on the other shore and those below the other shore is greater than the gap between heaven and earth. No matter how many powerful beings there are, they are nothing but ants in front of those on the other shore.

Therefore, in this realm of heavens, the other shore is also called the will of heaven.

If Zhong Xu's guess is correct, his cheap master Puzhi is probably one of the other shores of the heavens in this world, and one of the other selves of the demon Buddha Ananda.

The protagonist in the original work, Mang Jingang Zhen Ding, or Yuanshi Tianzun Meng Qi, is a special self of this demon Buddha.

This world-destroying demon was sealed by the two great beings, Buddha and Yuanshi Tianzun, and could not break free. So he cultivated Meng Qi, this special self, hoping to devour him when he grew up and thus break his own seal.

While Zhong Xu's current experience is not exactly the same as Meng Qi's, it is almost identical.

In the original story, Meng Qi became a monk in a daze under the secret guidance of the Demon Buddha, practiced the "Ananda Breaking the Precepts Blade", and was almost devoured by it in the end.

Now, Zhong Xu himself has been accepted as a disciple by this old monk, and has obtained the "Great Brahma Prajna" which combines Buddhism and demonism, as well as the "Breaking the Precepts Knife" which is actually the "Ananda Breaking the Precepts Knife" and a knife of cause and effect.

This familiar sight prompted a thought to arise in Zhong Xu's mind:
'Am I also one of the other selves of Ananda, the Buddha of Demons?'

But then, thinking about his origins, a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

'wrong! ’

'I am clearly a transmigrator, and from beyond this realm of heavens, how could I be another version of the Demon Buddha Ananda?'

'Furthermore, if I were the other self of the demon Buddha Ananda, why would I have obtained the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell?'

Thinking of this, Zhong Xu's mind conjured up the image of Donghuang Taiyi from all the heavens in this realm.

'Is Donghuang Taiyi of all the heavens not completely dead yet? That shouldn't be the case!'

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi of this realm is one of the three ancient emperors of the previous era, and his origin is the only Dao Fruit holder and Dao Venerable of this realm.

In the primordial era, Donghuang Taiyi, the former incarnation of the Demon Buddha Ananda, failed in his struggle for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and was suppressed by the Heavenly Emperor. The remaining part of him transformed into a Heavenly Dao monster, which was also controlled by the Demon Buddha Ananda of this era. He should have been completely dead by now.

However, thinking of the complete Eastern Emperor Bell deep within his spiritual world, as well as the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell, Zhong Xu recalled the illusion he had during his last time traveling through time.

'Could that indescribable dark red vortex be the Heavenly Dao monster transformed from Donghuang Taiyi?'

'Could it be because of the Eastern Emperor Bell that when I traveled to this realm, I made contact with the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and obtained fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell, which is why I was targeted by the Demon Buddha Ananda?'
