Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 316 [A Pure Heart of Buddha, A Person Forsaken by Demons] (Please Subscribe)

Although he knew that the Buddhist and demonic paths were closely related, and that one could become a demon or a Buddha in an instant, he was unaware of the relationship between Rahu and the Guide.

teacher?

If he were to adopt the concept of the Buddha of the World-Free King, wouldn't he become the teacher of Amitabha Buddha and the teacher of saints?

This is undoubtedly a tremendous cause and effect!

For a moment, Xuan Yin's Dao heart was in turmoil, and he was also very fortunate that he had severed his Sambhogakaya and Nirmanakaya first!

If one were to sever one's Dharma body through the karma of the Buddha of the Worldly Freedom and form a karmic connection with Amitabha Buddha, this karmic connection would likely be enough to condemn him to eternal damnation.

Xuan Yin couldn't help but sigh, "That Luo guy, he really is a huge trap!"

However, judging from the appearance of the guide, he doesn't seem to be here to cause trouble—could it be that he and Luo have some kind of deal?

The guide smiled and said, "Young friend, rest assured, this humble monk has no ill intentions towards you. I simply wish to discuss a transaction with you here."

"Rahu has a status in Buddhism, and this humble monk and Cundi also have status in the demonic path!"

"My fellow monk and I don't care about noodles. As for the concept of the Buddha of Infinite Freedom, if you have any ideas, you are welcome to go and get it yourself!"

But the more the Guide Daoist said this, the more Xuan Yin frowned. He didn't believe that the Guide Daoist would do something without a reason. Although this saint's reputation was better than Zhunti's, one should be careful because of the influence of one's surroundings.

"What kind of deal?"

Xuan Yin let out a soft breath!

The Guide Daoist slowly spoke, "Shakyamuni is the Western successor chosen by me and Zhunti. You must not use demonic means to bewitch him. Furthermore, if Shakyamuni has the opportunity to attain enlightenment in the future, I hope you and Tongtian Daoist can lend a helping hand, at least to prevent other saints from hindering him!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately replied, "I can agree to the first condition, but the second condition requires facing the Sage directly. The Sage is overestimating me! Besides, I am not your teacher, and I have no right to agree to this on your behalf!"

The guide remained unmoved: "Young friend, you refused so decisively. Aren't you afraid that this humble monk will expose that you are a second-generation Luo?"

'

Xuan Yin laughed and said, "Why do you think the Dao Ancestor would help me refine the Primordial Measuring Ruler into a supreme innate treasure, and also bestow upon me a Heavenly Dao authority and a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?"

Before the guide could respond, he spoke on his own: "It's true I'm a second-generation Luo, but that's only because I'm recognized by the Dao Ancestor! Even if a sage were to expose this, how many would dare to actually attack me?"

"On the contrary, if you thwart the Dao Ancestor's plans, the West may never have a chance to prosper!"

Upon hearing this, the Guide Daoist remained composed, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes: "It seems my young friend is truly destined for greatness!"

"He was a direct descendant of the Jie Sect, the second-generation Luo, and also related to the Daoist patriarch. Furthermore, he has profound connections with Buddhism and Taoism!"

"oh!"

"I almost forgot about humanity!"

"However, young friend, aren't you afraid that one day your various relationships will crumble and you will perish? Fellow Daoist Tongtian, do you have no objection to this at all?"

Xuan Yin laughed and said, "The Dao Ancestor once told me that as long as he is in this Primordial True World, the sky will never fall! And as for my teacher, he teaches without discrimination, so how could he have any sectarian bias?"

"Otherwise, why would he allow his senior brother Duobao to join the Buddhist order, knowing full well the future trends?"

"Otherwise, why would I have been able to replace Ksitigarbha and make the grand vow to suppress the underworld?"

If a sage truly wanted to stop something, he would naturally have many ways. Daoist Duobao was indeed destined to become the Buddha of today—but if he were to perish, how could he possibly enter the Buddhist order?

Xuan Yin was the same.

The Tongtian Sect Leader knew about all the things he had done, including currying favor with the Dao Ancestor.

Of course, his main point in saying this was to emphasize that he had a relationship with Dao Ancestor Hongjun—the Guide Daoist shouldn't even think about using his status as the second-generation Luo to control him and the Tongtian Sect Leader!

However, Xuan Yin also admired the Guide Daoist, who actually approached Luo and the second-generation Luo directly in order to prevent Shakyamuni from falling into the demonic path in the future!

When he went to see the Goddess Nuwa with the Taoist Ksitigarbha, he actually thought about it—to make Shakyamuni fall into the demonic path at a suitable time!

Unexpectedly, the Guide had anticipated this possibility and approached him directly, telling him that he must not harm Shakyamuni under any circumstances.

They even wanted to use this karma to get Xuan Yin and Tongtian Jiaozhu to protect Shakyamuni!

Shakyamuni: "I want to cultivate demonic arts!"

Luo: "No!"

Second Generation Luo: "No!"

For some reason, the image of Shakyamuni wanting to cultivate demonic arts but being rejected by Luo and himself involuntarily surfaced in Xuan Yin's mind.

The two refused, and Shakyamuni wanted to cultivate demonic arts, so naturally he had no way to go to heaven or hell!

"So, what would you like, young friend?"

The Guide Daoist slowly spoke, "My junior brother Zhunti and I can also make some concessions!"

"It's very simple!"

Xuan Yin didn't hesitate and directly stated his conditions: "If in the future, that person from Kunlun Mountain invites you to break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation together, just refuse and don't participate!"

"That might be a bit difficult!"

-

The Guide Daoist shook his head: "My junior brother and I have already made a pact with the Primordial Heavenly Venerable! Moreover, if the Jie Sect continues to control the destiny of the East, how will Junior Brother Zhunti repay the merits he borrowed from the Heavenly Dao?"

"That's easy!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately said, "Agreeing to break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation together is one thing, but how much effort one will put in during the process is another! Has the Sage agreed to give his all?"

No, not at all!

The Guide Daoist shook his head and said, "But in the West, we do need to bring some disciples from the Jie Sect!"

Xuan Yin chuckled, "That's not a problem at all. If the Sage Taiqing could convert barbarians to Buddhism, why can't the Sage Tongtian do the same? The conditions offered by the Chan Sect, my Jie Sect can also offer!"

"If three thousand isn't enough, then five thousand will do. Everything is negotiable!"

"Anyway, there aren't many Bodhisattvas or Buddhas in that secluded garden who are truly devoted to Buddhism; as long as people join the Buddhist order, that's enough!"

Upon hearing this, the Guide Daoist fell silent. He had thought that his junior brother's bottom line was unique in the Primordial True Realm.

However, no one could have imagined that heroes would emerge from the world like fish crossing a river, and that in this era, the Jie Sect would produce a disciple who had even less of a bottom line than their own junior brother!

Xuan Yin continued, "Of course, if the Sage can offer more benefits, I would advise my teacher to go to the West and become one of the three leaders!"

'

"Being the third child anywhere doesn't matter!"

"At least, if I go to Buddhism, I probably won't have to suffer that cowardly wrath of the Primordial Celestial Venerable!"

Upon hearing this, the Daoist who guided him was dumbfounded. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Young friend, this humble monk overestimated your bottom line. It would be a waste of talent for someone like you not to join my Buddhist sect! No one else has your talent for speaking eloquently, persuasively, and capable of twisting the truth!"

"good!"

"This humble monk agrees!"

"As long as you do not lead Shakyamuni to fall into the demonic path, or allow the demonic path to accept Shakyamuni, and you and Tongtian Daoist help to stop the other saints when Shakyamuni is likely to attain enlightenment, this humble monk can swear a great oath to the Heavenly Dao that when breaking the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, this humble monk and Junior Brother Zhunti will only contribute three-tenths of their strength!"

Seeing this, Xuan Yin immediately swore, "Rest assured, Sage, if I were to take control of the Demonic Path, I would absolutely not allow it to accept Shakyamuni. He has no affinity with the Demonic Path! If one day he has the opportunity to attain enlightenment, my teacher and I will do our utmost to prevent other sages from taking him in!"

Thus, a friendly agreement was quietly born in the spirit world!

However, there are still many loopholes in their oath. For example, the two Daoist Zhunti and the Master Tongtian did not make the oath themselves, but Xuan Yin and the Daoist Jieyin made the promise on their behalf!

There's still a possibility of unforeseen circumstances!

However, neither of them mentioned the matter, clearly to leave some room for maneuver!

After watching the guide leave, Xuan Yin once again immersed himself in the practice of the Nirvana Seal, but the image of Shakyamuni Buddha involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"For this chosen one, Jieyin and Zhunti are truly willing to sacrifice!"

"But Rahu————"

Although Luo Hou's purpose was to allow Xuan Yin to inherit the Dao Fruit, thereby freeing him from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao and the karmic consequences of his identity as the Demon Ancestor.

However, when Xuan Yin thought of Rahu's unpredictable personality and his relationship with the Guide Daoist, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He might not want to see the demonic path fall into the control of Dao Ancestor Hongjun because of him!

Although he considered himself the most suitable person to inherit the Dao Fruit, the demonic path has no taboos. Even if he didn't tamper with the Dao Fruit, he could very well dig a hole for himself in other matters!

Xuan Yin had no doubt about this!

On the other side, after the Guide Daoist withdrew his consciousness, he also breathed a sigh of relief and then turned his gaze to Shakyamuni. Shakyamuni's talent goes without saying. He was born a Great Enlightened Golden Immortal and later cultivated the Great Luo Dao Fruit of the Immortal Path and the Heavenly Yi Dao Fruit of the Divine Path!

Its pure heart is in harmony with the Taoism that emphasizes sincerity, in addition to Buddhism and Taoism.

Seeing Shakyamuni attain the fruits of other systems of cultivation, the Guide and the Cundi were both happy and worried. They were pleased with Shakyamuni's talent, but also worried that his pure heart of cultivation would be damaged by other systems of cultivation.

The Immortal Path and the Divine Path are alright, they can be considered the righteous path. The Demonic Path can be said to be unscrupulous in its methods, and they would not dare to let Shakyamuni come into contact with the Demonic Path.

However, as teachers, they couldn't very well stop Shakyamuni's desire to seek the truth!

Therefore, after much deliberation, the Guide decided to trace the source and fundamentally sever the possibility of Shakyamuni practicing the demonic path in the future.

After Luo and Xuan Yin, the second-generation Luo Hou, spoke, a force of abandonment of the Dao immediately emerged from the void along with the cause and effect in the dark. After Fuxi used the Primordial Jade Talisman to severely injure Haotian and the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit, he was rejected by the Heavenly Dao and could no longer comprehend the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

The Guide is now using a similar method, with Luo and Xuan Yin's oath as a causal bridge to trigger the origin of the demonic path, so that the demonic path can directly blacklist Shakyamuni.

In this way, Shakyamuni, who was rejected by the demonic path, would naturally not be able to practice the demonic path!

This was the strategist's plan!

However, during this process, he learned about Xuan Yin's identity as the second-generation Luo, as well as the karmic connection between Xuan Yin and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, which made him uneasy and he dared not easily interfere with the general trend of the prehistoric world!

He could only follow his heart and make choices that were as beneficial to the West as possible.

The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the less mistakes you make!

If it weren't for the future of Shakyamuni, he wouldn't even want to meet with Xuan Yin, mainly because Xuan Yin was involved in too many karmic entanglements.

If we are not careful, we will drag the West into an endless vortex of cause and effect!

Looking at Shakyamuni, the Guide sighed softly:

I hope I made the right choice this time!
