Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 103 The various aspects of Buddhism are now entrusted to you.

Upon hearing this, Zhunti understood what Diqing was thinking: "However Buddha Diqing wishes to evolve, let him evolve. All sentient beings in the West will cooperate."

"Then go and prepare!" Di Qing immediately waved his sleeves, ordering Zhunti to make the arrangements.

Filled with excitement and longing, Zhunti accelerated his efforts to establish the religion.

After the message from Zhunti was sent out, countless Western cultivators flew towards the Sumeru Land.

They believed in and worshipped Emperor Qing. Knowing that Emperor Qing had arrived was like seeing their deity. They were even more excited to learn that Emperor Qing was going to establish a sect in the West.

In a short period of time, countless Buddhist and Taoist practitioners arrived at Sumeru.

Among them, the most powerful Buddhist and Taoist cultivators all came before Di Qing.

They all bowed in unison to Emperor Qing: "We, the Western cultivators, pay homage to the great Emperor Qing Buddha."

"There's no need for formalities. I've gathered you all here today for one purpose: to establish a religion." Emperor Qing's majestic gaze stirred a vast wave of faith, sweeping over the countless Buddhist and Taoist cultivators present. His eyes were filled with scrutiny, as if he wanted to know if there were any disobedient individuals among these Buddhist and Taoist cultivators.

However, Di Qing underestimated Zhunti's abilities. After looking at countless cultivators in the West, he found not a single one who disobeyed him.

Di Qing smiled with satisfaction: "I am Di Qing, the founder of the Buddhist and Taoist system. Now, all living beings in the primordial world cultivate the Buddhist and Taoist system. Therefore, I have created a sect with the Buddhist and Taoist system as its core."

"This sect is called: Buddha. Buddhism was founded and proclaimed that all sentient beings suffer, and that Buddha saves them. All cultivators in the primordial world can take refuge in Buddha and become disciples of Buddhism."

"My Buddhist disciples, regardless of their level of cultivation, background, or aptitude... as long as they have a heart that seeks the Buddha, can enter my Buddhism."

"Those who enter our Buddhism can comprehend the Buddhist and Taoist system, understand the methods of Buddhism and Taoism, and experience the profound mysteries of Buddhism and Taoism..."

"Those who join Buddhism must abide by Buddhist precepts, be wholeheartedly devoted to goodness, maintain faith in their hearts, and so on..."

The resounding Buddhist chant of Emperor Qing stirred up endless rays of light, blossoming into boundless gold, transforming into a unique Buddhist light. This light shone forth, filled with compassion and mercy.

Countless Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, with a faint sense of enlightenment, also entered a mysterious realm along with the light of Buddhism and Taoism.

That profound mystery, along with Di Qing's recounting of more Buddhist teachings and scriptures, blossomed throughout the vast West.

As they gained enlightenment, countless cultivators paid homage to Emperor Qing.

Di Qing then used this act of worship to declare: "Heaven and earth, all living beings, heed my words. Today, Western Buddhism is established..."

In an instant, the sound of the Dao spread, accompanied by endless Buddhist light, flowing into all parts of the primordial world. It also accompanied by the magnificent heavenly sound, reaching the ears of countless cultivators.

At this moment, countless cultivators realized that a new powerful force and a new sect had emerged in the primordial world. The sudden appearance of a sect in this world, where races were the core of power, inevitably aroused the curiosity of countless cultivators.

But as she looked westward and saw that the founder of Western Buddhism was Emperor Qing, she was instantly astonished.

They naturally knew who Di Qing was. Now that they saw such a powerful figure as Di Qing create a sect in the West, many cultivators would have to be careful in the future.

However, Di Qing ignored what the many cultivators said and took out three mysterious lotus platforms: "Three top-grade lotus platforms, representing the white lotus for purification, the golden lotus for merit, and the black lotus for annihilation... These three lotus platforms suppress the fortune of Buddhism and also highlight the core of the Buddhist system."

"From purification, cultivate boundless merit; from merit, seek tranquility; from tranquility, condense primordial chaos..."

Di Qing had given much thought to taking out these three lotus platforms. Firstly, Di Qing didn't have any more innate treasures to suppress his fortune, so he could only rely on top-grade spiritual treasures for now.

Secondly, considering the many doctrines of later Buddhism, we find that the Pure White Lotus, the Nirvana Black Lotus, and the Merit Golden Lotus are all similar to those of Buddhism and Taoism.

Now, the three lotus pedestals have fallen upon the Buddhist fortune, causing the Buddhist fortune to transform into countless lotus pedestals, forming a sea of ​​fortune lotuses.

Di Qing was very satisfied with this, and looking at the countless Buddhist and Taoist cultivators in the West who were watching with excitement, he asked: "Are you all willing to join my Buddhism?"

"We are willing. We earnestly request the Buddha Emperor Qing to take us in, so that we, the cultivators struggling in the sea of ​​suffering, may enter Buddhism and become true Buddhist cultivators." Many Buddhist and Taoist cultivators shouted, as did many Western cultivators.

Jieyin and Zhunti were extremely excited, and they clasped their hands together, saying, "Praise be to the supreme Emperor Qing Buddha! We humbly request that you grant us permission to join Buddhism and to spread its teachings..."

Goodness, Jieyin and Zhunti really know how to play the game. They made such a simple sentence sound so awkward.

Di Qing was both amused and exasperated, then said, "Alright, since you are all willing, from now on you will all be Buddhist disciples. Within Buddhism, there will be a Buddhist Master who will oversee all aspects of Buddhism. Below the Buddhist Master, there will be Past Buddhas who will oversee the past of Buddhism, Future Buddhas who will oversee the future of Buddhism, and Modern Buddhas who will oversee the present of Buddhism."

"After the three Buddhas, there are the Nine Venerable Ones, the Eighteen Bodhisattvas, the Thirty-Six Vajras, and the Seventy-Two Bhikkhus..."

"Among them, the past Buddha is Amitabha, the present Buddha is Cundi, and there is no future Buddha yet. The Nine Venerable Ones are..."

Based on the cultivation and understanding of contemporary Buddhist practitioners, Buddhism is divided into categories, and its systems are improved.

Only a sound system can facilitate the management of the Imperial Green. Of course, the Imperial Green will not actually remain under the management of Buddhism, but will be handed over to the Amitabha and Cundi masters.

After a long while, all the Buddhist monks put their hands together in prayer: "We Buddhists all obey the command of Emperor Qing Buddha."

"Very well, from now on, all aspects of Buddhism will be entrusted to you. I hope you will cultivate diligently and develop it well, so that Buddhism may flourish." As Di Qing spoke, his gaze fell upon Jieyin and Zhunti, the two Buddhas he had appointed as past and present Buddhas, respectively.

The two looked at each other and chanted Buddhist prayers: "We will obey the command of Emperor Qing Buddha and will certainly not disappoint the Buddha."

"Alright, all of you may leave. But billions of years from now, a grand Buddhist conference will be held. All Buddhist followers are welcome to attend. During the conference, I will expound on the profound method within the Buddhist system that corresponds to the Three Methods of Severing the Path. This method is also the realm between the eighth realm, the Buddha realm, and the ninth realm, the Buddha Saint realm, within the Buddhist system."

After speaking, Di Qing did not linger and disappeared into the depths of Mount Sumeru with Nuwa.

The remaining Buddhist disciples looked at each other, their eyes filled not only with devout faith but also with endless anticipation.

For many Buddhist and Taoist cultivators, despite their arduous practice of the Buddhist and Taoist systems, they find that something is always missing between the Buddha realm and the Buddha Saint realm. Comparing this to the Immortal Taoist system created by Emperor Qing, they discover that what is lacking is the Three Methods of Severing the Path.

Although they could cultivate the Three Methods of Severing the Dao, they always felt that the Three Methods of Severing the Dao were most compatible with the Immortal Dao system. They were somewhat incompatible with their Buddhist Dao system.

Therefore, many Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, after reaching the Buddha realm, either choose to remain trapped at their current bottleneck and rely on their own methods to continuously accumulate power, or they choose to cultivate the Dao-severing system.
