Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 220 The Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand

Even with Xu Changjun's keen eyesight, he only saw a gray light pierce through space at an extremely fast speed, directly penetrating the space and shooting into the vast void.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a space exploded, and a mangled body was thrown out of the void.

A large hole was blasted open in that space, and a corpse dressed in white fell out of it.

This chaotic divine lightning, containing terrifying power, shattered the void, and the cracked space annihilated it, flinging its corpse out.

The whole process was over in the blink of an eye.

But the corpse in front of them was indeed there.

Without a doubt, this Immortal King, who belonged to the Taiyu Immortal Dynasty, perished here.

"Guys from powerful forces are different; they're really a fat sheep!"

Xu Changjun quickly searched the body thoroughly, completely looting any treasures left on the person.

This allowed Xu Changjun, who had just advanced to the Immortal King realm, to make a fortune, acquiring a complete set of Immortal King artifacts and reaping considerable rewards.

However, on the other side, with the fall of the White-Clad Sword Master, a huge storm was formed, which quickly spread outwards and affected even more distant areas.

……

The news of the fall of Su Baiyi, the leader of the White-Clad Army, one of the Eight Banners of the Taiyu Immortal Dynasty, spread rapidly among the surrounding forces, causing a great shock.

No one expected that an immortal at the Immortal King level would perish on the spot.

The last Immortal King fell perhaps a thousand years ago.

This time, the fall of the White-Clad Immortal King was particularly different, causing considerable shock to all the surrounding forces, large and small.

Although the fallen Immortal King came from the Taiyu Immortal Dynasty, he was indeed a powerful Immortal King.

Su Baiyi's name resounded throughout history, and ordinary forces dared not provoke him. Now that he has suddenly fallen, it has naturally caused quite a stir, fearing that he might have inadvertently provoked some terrifying being and caused unimaginable consequences.

As the Taiyu Immortal Dynasty, it was extremely furious.

It should be understood that even in the powerful Taiyu Immortal Dynasty, the Immortal King already belongs to the highest level of the dynasty.

The fall of such a high-ranking and powerful figure naturally ignited the wrath of the Celestial Dynasty. The current Celestial Emperor directly ordered the dispatch of powerful figures to dig deep into the earth, vowing to punish the murderer severely.

While chaos reigned around the Taiyu Immortal Dynasty, Xu Changjun quietly left, traveling thousands of miles away, heading west.

Having traversed millions of miles of space, Xu Changjun finally witnessed the cruelty of the prehistoric world.

Various demons and monsters proliferated, and countless evil gods and licentious worships were performed. Some so-called river gods and mountain gods were worshipped by humans, forming gathering places of varying sizes.

Humanity has not yet developed to this point. Although there are some Qi practitioners, they are all detached from worldly affairs.

In order to survive, humans were forced to offer young boys and girls every year as sacrifices to evil gods and engage in licentious rituals, which caused them untold suffering.

Various ancient sacrificial rituals involved human sacrifices, which led to the fragmentation of many tribes and the separation of family members.

He would stop and go, and when he encountered something he didn't like, Xu Changjun would not hesitate to take action to suppress it.

In his own words, "I simply follow my heart."

He was extremely ruthless in his actions, simultaneously plundering treasures and resources, and then disappearing without a trace.

……

On this day, Xu Changjun's westward journey involuntarily came to a halt.

Because the road ahead is blocked by someone.

"You rude monk! Why are you blocking my way?! Isn't that a wide, open road?"

Xu Changjun's eyes were unfriendly as he retorted.

That's right!

Blocking Xu Changjun's path was a monk wearing the Nine Precepts on his head.

Beneath the loose Buddhist robes was a robust physique, with massive arms like the gnarled roots of an old tree exposed. He held a Zen staff in his hand, his right hand held upright like a knife in front of him, and he chanted Buddhist mantras.

"Amitabha! You are attached to appearances!"

The monk ignored Xu Changjun's cold look and instead chanted Buddhist prayers in a low voice.

"Whether you're attached to appearances or not is none of your business. A good dog doesn't block the way, so get out of the way!"

Living in the primordial world, Xu Changyun did not have much affection for the Western Religion.

They claim to be the orthodox Buddhists, and their favorite thing to say is that they have a connection with my Western religion. They not only plunder various treasures, but also constantly recruit people into their religion.

Use force to reason.

Whether you submit or not, you submit.

It is tolerable and unbearable.

"What bad luck! I didn't check the almanac before I left home, and I ran into something like a dog!"

As Xu Changjun said these words, the monk's eyes twitched involuntarily, clearly indicating that his words were somewhat sinister.

"My lord, you must not speak nonsense!"

Chanting Buddhist prayers, the head monk barely managed to suppress his anger, and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Spit it out if you have something to say!"

Xu Changjun showed no mercy to him, and continued to mock him with a low, cold laugh.

"This benefactor has a connection with our Western Religion, and we hope..."

However, before the monk could finish speaking, Xu Changjun interrupted him without any politeness, saying directly.

"I am a wandering Taoist priest, worshipping Heaven and Earth, living a life of worldly affairs. I have absolutely nothing to do with your Western Religion. Just tell me what you want!"

The veins on the head monk's forehead bulged, and his gaze at Xu Changjun was no longer as calm as before. He said, "You should be the culprit who killed Su Baiyi, the White-Clad Sword Master of the Taiyu Immortal Dynasty. The Immortal Dynasty and my Huading Temple have a history, so please come into the temple for a rest..."

What if I say no?!

Upon hearing this, Xu Changjun's face turned cold.

"If that's not the case, then your chaotic aura suggests you have a connection with our Western Sect."

In an instant, Xu Changjun's eyes widened as he looked at the somewhat simple-looking monk opposite him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He never expected that this Western Buddhist monk would be so shameless, and in the blink of an eye, he began to threaten him.

It was truly an act of enriching oneself at the expense of the public, a masterful maneuver that broadened his horizons.

"No wonder everyone says that Western religious bald monks can really make things seem fake, black seem white, and they can talk a good game without any substance. They're quite the geniuses to be able to say things like that!"

A surge of lightning crackled within Xu Changjun's calm gaze, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body.

"As expected, it's not surprising that Su Baiyi perished. You actually obtained the fortune of the Chaos Divine Lightning; no wonder you could cause a Celestial King to fall!"

The senior monk was startled and instinctively suppressed his composure.

From the terrifying aura emanating from the other person, he could sense that this person was not weak and could not be easily defeated.

"I still possess the primordial energy, but I wonder what you'll offer in exchange?"

Xu Changjun's face gradually calmed down, and he said with a smile.

The senior monk was also surprised that Xu Changjun would speak in such a way.

He had expected the other party to become enraged and attack, leading to another fierce battle. However, Xu Changjun was able to suppress his emotions and start lecturing him.

"Then how about using this Golden Lotus of Merit!"

But then the great monk slowly extended his palm, and surging Buddhist patterns appeared in his palm. On a golden Buddhist light, a golden lotus of merit was revealed.

"A Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand! A Golden Lotus of Merit!"

Xu Changjun gazed at the unfolded golden Buddha hand, and from the surging Buddhist principles contained within it, he could see that the lines on the palm contained immense Buddhist power.

What appears to be just a small Buddha's palm can, under the guidance of the great monk, continuously expand and evolve, growing to an immeasurably large size.

"That's certainly a brilliant tactic!"

Xu Changjun was surprised and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"The Western religion's supernatural powers are indeed extraordinary, but I wonder how much of their power you, venerable monk, have actually cultivated..."

He could clearly see that this Golden Lotus of Merit was a treasure born of heaven and earth, having received the recognition and baptism of the power of the Heavenly Dao, and was no ordinary object.

This item is one of the eight treasures of the Western Paradise's Merit Pool. It is extremely precious, has no restrictions, and possesses the purest energy. Anyone, regardless of race, can absorb it to enhance their own strength and foundation.

Xu Changjun's eyes lit up as he looked at the golden lotus of merit.

His gaze fell on the monk's face again, and he couldn't help but smile.

In Xu Changjun's eyes, this great monk was like a giant golden Buddha, and the place where he stood was transformed into a Buddhist land.

At the same time, the Golden Lotus of Merit was also a great temptation for him. If he could get his hands on it, it would be of great benefit to solidify his foundation and establish himself in the Taiyi Realm.

"Let's sign the Heavenly Contract!"

After a moment of silence, Xu Changjun said calmly.

He didn't believe the monk's promises at all, and if he wanted to gamble with him, he had to sign a Heavenly Contract.

Once such a contract is signed in the primordial world, it must be witnessed by the Heavenly Dao, and neither party can violate it, otherwise they will surely invite calamity.

Even with their strength as Celestial Kings, they would likely not escape death.

"This..." The senior monk seemed somewhat hesitant.

The Golden Lotus of Merit in his hand is one of the eight treasures of the Merit Pond of Huading Temple in the Western Paradise. It is a treasure that has matured over 12,000 years. If he loses it, it will cause considerable losses to the temple, and he will certainly be punished.

Thinking of this, the senior monk hesitated.

However, Xu Changjun's cold smile forced him to accept the promise.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, agreed, and signed the Heavenly Dao Contract.

"If you dare not, then all of you from Huading Temple must retreat a thousand miles whenever you encounter me, lest you offend my eyes!"

Xu Changjun sneered, adding fuel to the fire.

If that's really the case, how will Huading Temple retain its followers and gain a foothold in the Primordial World?

"Alright! Let's sign the Heavenly Dao Contract!"

……

Xu Changjun wagered the remaining chaotic energy, while the great monk offered the Golden Lotus of Merit.

"Now it's my turn to propose the next conditions!"

This time, before Xu Changjun could speak, the great monk opened his palm and said calmly.

"Enter the Buddhist kingdom I control. If you can obtain the Golden Lotus of Merit, I will have lost. If you fail to obtain the Golden Lotus, you will remain forever in the Buddha's light!"

Without a doubt, this senior monk also understood the principle of striking first.

Since a contest was to be wagered, he invited Xu Changjun to enter, based on the Buddhist kingdom he controlled.

Clearly, the monk was unsure of Xu Changjun's abilities, which was why he had set conditions beforehand.

Although the methods used are somewhat unethical, as long as we can achieve final victory, there is absolutely no need to hold back.

The high monk displayed the Buddha's Kingdom in the palm of his hand, ensuring that the entire process was under his control and that no unexpected situations would occur.

"good!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Changjun agreed to the proposal without even thinking about it.

"Then I'll see for myself just how powerful the legendary Buddha Kingdom in the palm of my hand really is!"

In an instant, Xu Changjun's expression hardened. He took a step forward, his figure swaying, and he appeared directly above the Buddhist kingdom covered with numerous Buddhist patterns.

"Please enter the trap! The Buddha's teachings are boundless..."

The high monk uttered "Amitabha" and, as if holding the reins of the universe, rapidly expanded his palm outwards.

In an instant, the void shifted, and the universe reversed.

Xu Changjun felt that the world suddenly expanded rapidly, and the earth beneath his feet was extending outwards, expanding outwards without end.

"This monk is becoming more and more shameless!"

Xu Changjun's heart stirred. Not only did he make the first move, but he also took the initiative to strike first. He should think about this carefully.

However, Xu Changjun was not worried.

Now that he has arrived at this Buddha Kingdom in the palm of his hand, he has naturally made some preparations.

In an instant, an invisible power surged from between his brows, revealing a third eye. Lightning erupted from his entire body, transforming into continuous bolts of lightning that spread in all directions.

Although the Buddhist patterns shimmering around them contained profound Buddhist principles, they were completely destroyed by the overwhelming chaotic lightning.

The golden Buddhist light that had been shimmering around was gradually replaced by gray lightning. The space that had previously spread out seemed to be suppressed by a more powerful force, and it seemed to be frozen there, no longer changing.

Time and space stood still at this moment.

Rumble!

But then a dazzling light flashed on the monk's right hand, and the rapidly expanding Buddhist kingdom in his palm was suddenly shrouded in a dark cloud.

The dazzling lightning flashed with a terrifying brilliance, as if it were about to destroy everything in existence.

The thunderbolts, carrying unparalleled force, layered upon each other, forming a terrifying shockwave that impacted and vibrated in all directions.

The Buddha Kingdom in the palm of the hand, which had been expanding outward, began to teeter on the brink of collapse. Ripples spread across the surrounding void, as if the illusion of a mirage was about to be shattered, and it seemed unable to withstand the arrival of this terrifying power.

A destructive and chaotic aura surged forth, completely enveloping this palm-sized Buddhist kingdom.

Xu Changjun was surrounded by lightning, and his third lightning eye between his eyebrows could see through illusions, grasping the weakest point in space, constantly flashing with dazzling golden light.

The chaotic divine lightning that gathered around him continuously accumulated a destructive aura of calamity, and its terrifying power bombarded the Buddha statues.

One after another, colossal golden Arhat statues appeared, as if they had awakened from mythology, each possessing extraordinary combat power.

They are the Dharma protectors who uphold the Buddha-land within the palm of their hands.

Xu Changjun's method was very obvious: he used his own chaotic lightning power to destroy everything around him.

Once the void boundary of this Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand is broken, everything will collapse between heaven and earth.
