I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Upon hearing this great vow, all the Buddhas in the Buddhist community, regardless of their own thoughts, went to congratulate the Buddha, saying that the Buddhist community had produced another pillar.

In the underworld, not long after Gu Tinglan made her grand vow, a beam of Buddhist light came from the west.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your tribulation and attainment of Dao."

The one who came was none other than Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Originally, Gu Tinglan's status was one level lower than that of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but now they are on the same level.

However, Gu Tinglan was originally one of the four great Bodhisattvas prophesied in Buddhism, and now she has successfully gone through tribulations and attained enlightenment, which seems to be several decades faster than expected.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also felt something was strange, but recently, things have changed more than once or twice, so he just got used to it.

Gu Tinglan also bowed to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but did not elaborate on her condition.

She did indeed attain enlightenment, but not through a tribulation.

Her ordeal is not over yet; rather, it has only just begun.

After attaining enlightenment, she understood that the reason this scripture began with her name was because she had indeed created it.

Following the normal trajectory, it would likely be several decades later, after she had completed her trials in the human world, that she would naturally gain enlightenment.

However, someone beat her to it, bringing the wisdom she would have gained in the future to the present, allowing her to see it ahead of time.

With the true scriptures in hand, she naturally cultivated the Great Dao.

It was precisely because of this abnormal way of enlightenment that she and the creator of the true scriptures had a great karmic connection.

She cannot be considered to have truly attained enlightenment if she does not resolve this karmic debt.

She quickly identified the person who had taken her future scriptures into the present as her target.

It was none other than Lin Yi!

Gu Tinglan's current state is quite peculiar.

She is a superposition of the mortal Gu Tinglan and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

He is both a god and a mortal.

Moreover, she had not yet completed her tribulation, yet she attained the enlightenment of a Bodhisattva.

This is essentially like her borrowing something from her future self, which she will have to repay in the future.

The trials that haven't been overcome yet will continue to be overcome in the future...

The details were naturally not something she could tell Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. She simply expressed her gratitude and bowed, then asked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to open a convenient door for them to return to the human world.

Since she hadn't finished her tribulation, she naturally had to go to the mortal realm.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva helplessly stated that he can no longer send people to the human world at will.

The Goddess of Mount Tai has sealed off the underworld, temporarily allowing entry but not exit.

It's hard to say whether things will change in the future, but it's definitely not allowed to go out now.

Gu Tinglan was surprised. Did Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva have so little power in the underworld? He couldn't even send three people away?

What did the Goddess of Mount Tai do to become so fierce?

Gu Tinglan had many questions, but she didn't ask them.

Since Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wouldn't help, she would have to rely on herself.

However, at this moment, the Goddess of Mount Tai has also arrived...

Gu Tinglan attained enlightenment in the underworld, and she naturally sensed it. Since they were both immortals, she naturally invited him to her residence for a proper exchange.

Jueying and Lanyu were also invited.

The two were immediately flattered.

This is the Goddess of Mount Tai! They actually saw her in person!

This is so exciting!

At the invitation of the Goddess of Mount Tai, the three women went to the Mount Tai Temple, completely forgetting that they had been thrown into the underworld by a black cat...

In the mortal realm, within the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace, after the three disappeared, Zhang Jiao still placed three mannequins in the fish tank as a decoy.

No one will know that Gu Tinglan is missing in the short term.

After getting everything sorted out, she dashed back to the rooftop to continue sunbathing.

The kitten's life is really good; Zhang Jiao is even a little envious.

The kitten's lips curled up slightly only after hearing Gu Tinglan's grand ambition.

Gu Tinglan did not disappoint her; she successfully attained enlightenment and even made a grand vow.

Although this great vow is not as grand as that of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it is no less so.

As she fulfills her great vow, her strength will gradually increase.

Her strength is equivalent to the strength of Buddhism.

After this war, the Taoist deities suffered heavy casualties, while the Buddhist deities grew stronger. In another hundred years, Buddhism will be able to overwhelm Taoism. When the two tigers fight, one of them will surely be injured.

This was also Zhang Jiao's ultimate goal.

She wouldn't be thinking of killing the Great Celestial Venerable in one go; although she wanted to, she didn't have the ability.

This killing of Ziwei was also a test of the Great Celestial Venerable's abilities.

She has gotten the answer she wanted.

The Great Celestial Venerable is indeed powerful and invincible, but he is not without weaknesses.

He controlled many great paths, but the Buddhist path was not under the control of the Great Celestial Venerable.

Because the Buddhist path is derived from the study of destiny and reincarnation, this path is not the Great Heavenly Venerable's control over the Great Dao.

The Great Celestial Venerable fears Buddhism, yet cannot destroy it, because this is the true will of Heaven.

The will of Heaven is that every living being in the world has a glimmer of hope.

The Great Celestial Venerable controls most of the Great Daos, but there must be others who control the Great Daos that are outside his control.

It may not be Buddhism, but it could be any of the Hundred Schools of Thought; there will always be a lineage or tradition.

Just as the Great Celestial Venerable possesses the power to destroy heaven and earth, he cannot personally descend to the mortal realm.

This is a principle.

The barrier between the mortal and celestial realms is as fragile as paper to the Great Celestial Venerable, yet he cannot descend upon it.

Zhang Jiao further validated her conjecture with her extremely provocative behavior.

The Great Celestial Venerable is invincible in the world, yet he cannot defy fate.

Otherwise, she should be dead now, not suppressed.

It seemed as if the Great Celestial Venerable had casually suppressed her under the mountain, but in reality, the Great Celestial Venerable could only do so much; he could not kill her.

Because her fate was not to die here.

She is destined to unleash a catastrophe of gods and demons, and as the one destined to face this calamity, the Great Celestial Venerable cannot kill her, but can only suppress her.

And it won't be long before another person who is destined to help her will rescue her from the foot of the mountain.

Once the Great Celestial Venerable's weakness is found, dealing with him will naturally become much easier.

In this round, she risked her own life and ultimately prevailed over the Great Celestial Venerable.

Now, everything is going according to her plan, and she doesn't need to do anything anymore; she can just lie here and relax.

As for the little dark cloud...

Let's lock her up for a while, and release her once things have settled down.

Zhang Jiao imitated Wu Yun, lying on the roof to sunbathe. Lin Yi's Heavenly Eye swept over but found nothing unusual, and then moved away.

Before long, a paper figure floated down and transformed into a handsome man, who then entered the Empress's palace...

Chapter 592 Zhang Jiao revealed a flaw

Lin Yi came to find Yan Qingqiu, naturally because of the grand promise Gu Tinglan made.

His cultivation was profound, but unlike others who climbed up step by step, he had no problems in the human world before. By reading other people's memories, he could also see some secrets.

But the Demon-Slaying Manual doesn't cover things related to immortals and gods.

Lin Yi had to ask others for help with many common-sense questions.

His first thought was Yan Qingqiu. Although he had now subdued Wang Shu and Xi He, they were not his own people after all.

After hearing their information, I still have to distinguish the truth from the falsehood. It would be better to just come directly to Yan Qingqiu from the beginning, which would save some time.

Yan Qingqiu was naturally happy to see Lin Yi.

But knowing that he only came to see her because he had something to ask, Yan Qingqiu said with a slight reproach, "Every time you come to see me, is it just to ask some questions?"

Yan Qingqiu appeared to be pretending to be angry, but in reality, he was just pretending to be angry.

Lin Yi is the only one who comes to her when he needs something; otherwise, you can't even see him.

Although she could understand that Lin Yi had his own things to do, couldn't this guy be a little more romantic?

Lin Yi knew, of course, that Yan Qingqiu was just being coquettish with him, so he smiled slightly and said, "The paper doll can't do much. I'll satisfy you properly after we defeat the Immortal Realm."

What this satisfaction means is something adults understand.

Yan Qingqiu covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "I'm not the only one who's starving; you'll be busy in the future too!"

This alludes to the several sisters on the island.

This was just Yan Qingqiu's joke, but it made Lin Yi feel a little sad.

Having so many female confidantes in his life, this time travel was definitely worth it.

It's a pity that, apart from the three months when he was wary of He Dong, he was always either on the go or on the road, and rarely had a moment of peace.

Fortunately, the situation has gradually stabilized, the outlook is very positive, and the future looks promising.

All the efforts he made were worthwhile.
