Chapter 73: The dispute between Taoism and Buddha, the old grudges of all saints(1/2)
The atmosphere is a bit subtle.
The Jade Emperor, Ziwei Emperor and others looked at Gou Chen and Hou Tu, their eyes flashing.
There are many weird things about Emperor Yao. He is not afraid of attacks from flying knives that kill immortals. His energy and blood are frighteningly strong. His physique is invincible. He can defeat innate gods and demons, and he can also kill three corpses...
They were quite curious about some of his secrets, but it was not convenient to explore them.
Could it be that Queen Houtu saw something at this time?
In terms of realm, she is higher than everyone present.
"Something's wrong?"
Ren stared at the Lord of the Netherworld, the peerless female emperor in front of him, with a bright smile, showing his white teeth, "Am I too handsome?"
"..."
The corner of Hou Tu's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a moment.
The little guy is a bit different and doesn't play by the rules, which makes her a little uncomfortable.
There was no emotion on her cold face, and her eyes as dark as night kept staring at him. After a moment, she shook her head slightly.
She picked up the wine vessel, poured a glass of fairy wine for Ren, and apologized:
"I'm being rude. My Taoist friend is extremely beautiful and extraordinary. I can't see through it, so I won't make any unreasonable comments."
Gouchen's soul is very powerful, as if it were made of immortal gold. The mysterious runes of the Heavenly Emperor are shining in the sea of consciousness. They are shielded by the laws of immortality and cannot be seen clearly, but they exude an aura of immortality.
His soul was as bright and hot as the sun, almost burning her ghostly eyes.
His will and the power of his spiritual consciousness are also extremely powerful, like a vast and endless sea of stars, with incomparable vitality and astonishing appearance.
Such a soul is almost completely transcending reincarnation and possesses some characteristics of a saint's soul.
This is contrary to common sense. Haotian and Buddha's souls are also very powerful, but they don't have this kind of transcendence, nor this kind of almost immortality.
Gou Chen's soul also gave her a subtle feeling, a bit abnormal, inconsistent and uncoordinated.
But she doesn't know why this is happening...
Nuwa watched the process of the reunion of Ren's flesh and blood and the recovery of his spiritual consciousness. She studied it carefully for decades and gained insight into every detail, so that she could make more discoveries.
As the "Lord of Reincarnation", Hou Tu's attainments in the way of the soul are no less than those of Nuwa, but she did not have such an opportunity to observe. She could only tell that something was wrong through visual inspection, but she did not know the specific reason.
Renn picked up the bronze wine statue and drank it in one gulp.
The wine is golden in color, rippling with blue starlight, sweet in the mouth, nourishing the soul, and endless aftertaste.
A cup of the top-grade immortal brew can greatly increase Taiyi Golden Immortal's magic power. Unfortunately, it has no effect on a strong man like him. It can only satisfy his craving.
"Your Majesty, you are too praiseworthy. You created the Six Paths of Reincarnation, perfected the prehistoric cycle, and allowed all sentient beings to have the opportunity to be reincarnated after death. Your merits are immeasurable. When the evolution of this Pangu Era is completed, you will be able to become a saint. How can I be compared to a martial artist?
?”
He stared at the Mother Goddess of Earth in front of him, the Lord of Reincarnation, with a flash of silver in his eyes.
Houtu is very powerful, and the path of reincarnation has been completed. The rich power of the netherworld surrounds her, allowing her to transcend the three realms and six realms, standing outside of time, at the end of reincarnation, overlooking the vicissitudes of time, waiting for the end of the era.
Such a state is already equivalent to that of a heavenly saint!
But she is not a saint because she has no body.
Her body turned into a reincarnation disk deep in the netherworld and could not move freely.
What appears in front of everyone at this moment is only an incarnation condensed by the power of the Netherworld, which can be called the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation - Empress Pingxin.
Because there is no real body, the incarnation and clone of Emperor Houtu are not limited by the laws of heaven. Empress Pingxin has the strength of a quasi-sage and is the most powerful incarnation of Houtu.
Nowadays, things in the underworld are handled by Empress Pingxin. She also gave part of the power of reincarnation to Emperor Fengdu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
In the land of reincarnation, Empress Pingxin, with the help of the reincarnation disk, has the strength of a saint and is not afraid of all saints.
This is also the reason why Ancestor Styx has always been entrenched in the Netherworld Blood Sea, occasionally harassing the underworld and devouring wandering souls, but never dared to step into the core of the underworld.
If he dares to go deep into the underworld, he will die miserably.
"Emperor Yao, there is no need to be humble. You are very strong, and you might be able to preach in front of me."
Empress Houtu said in a cold voice.
She has few emotions, is cold and calm, like the lake water on a winter night.
But she doesn't come across as cold and ruthless. Instead, she has a sense of open-mindedness and tolerance.
She is also an ancient and benevolent goddess. Unlike the Nuwa Empress, she is even more philanthropic and treats all races in the ancient world equally, including the once mortal enemies of the demon race.
The demon clan can also enjoy the opportunity of reincarnation equally. This alone has surprised countless powerful people.
Emperor Ziwei raised the wine bottle, smiled slightly, and said:
"Does Empress Houtu think so highly of Emperor Yao?"
"It's not optimistic, it's a fact."
Hou Tu said calmly.
Everyone was a little frightened and had different thoughts.
Hou Tu has already reached the realm of a saint, but he cannot be free until the end of the Pangu Period.
There is no room for error in the six paths of reincarnation. A saint can open up a big world like the Earthly Immortal Realm, but he cannot establish reincarnation again.
No one can destroy the body of Houtu Empress, unless this power can defeat the heavens and destroy the entire prehistoric world.
Therefore, she is bound to become a saint. As long as she waits for immeasurable calamities, the Three Realms return to ruins, and she recovers her true body, she will be a true saint. She may not be a saint yet, but may come from behind.
She is in a state where she can talk to all saints on an equal footing, yet she actually thinks that Gou Chen can beat her one step ahead...
The Great Heavenly Lord was a little moved, his eyes were focused, he looked at Emperor Gouchen meaningfully, and said:
"Brother Yao Xian seems to have something to hide."
"That's a shame. She can't compare to the Empress Houtu who is in charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. She is just dawdling around."
Renn waved his hand and said modestly.
Everyone: "..."
What is this word?
If you put it this way, who is not dawdling?
Empress Houtu stopped observing Gou Chen. She looked at the Jade Emperor and said:
"Great Heavenly Lord invites me here, why do you want me to come here?"
Emperor Changsheng, Emperor Ziwei, and Ren En all looked at the Jade Emperor on the throne, waiting for him to explain the situation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The four emperors of heaven gather together, accompanied by the Queen Mother. This kind of battle is rare.
The Jade Emperor looked serious, flicked his sleeves and robe, and a yellow ancient scroll fell on the table.
The ancient scroll sparkled with golden light, and was engraved with many Sanskrit texts. Bodhi appeared, golden lotuses bloomed, and the shadows of two huge ancient Buddhas flashed away. The holy power filled the air and shocked the whole world!
The decree of the saint.
The marks of welcoming the Buddha and quainting the Buddha's mother are all imprinted on the decree.
"Two Saints from the West, want to preach to the East?"
Emperor Changsheng looked at the contents of the sage's decree and his expression changed.
Emperor Ziwei was also a little shaken, his eyes turned around, and the sun, moon and stars disappeared.
"Interesting, Western Buddhism and Eastern Taoism are preparing for the third large-scale exchange?"
There was a trace of interest on Queen Houtu's face, "Or is it simply the spread of Buddhism to the East?"
The content of the sage's decree was unclear, so the Jade Emperor opened his mouth and added:
"It's not an exchange between Taoism and Buddhism, it's just the spread of Buddhism eastward. What Lingshan means is that they want to spread Sakyamuni's Mahayana Buddhism among the people of various countries in the southern continent."
"I see."
Emperor Ziwei sneered, "It seems that what happened last time made them a little scared. This time they are not so radical."
Renn didn't know much about the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, so he asked curiously:
"What is the difference between Taoist and Buddhist exchanges and the spread of Buddhism eastward?"
The Queen Mother glanced at him, knowing that he had been dormant for eternity and did not understand many historical grudges, so she explained:
"There have been two exchanges between Taoism and Buddhism in history. One occurred in the late ancient times. Taoist friends from Taiqing traveled to the wilderness and invited powerful people and people with great supernatural powers from all over the three realms to gather in the Bajing Palace. Among them were the powerful people from Xitian Buddhism, three thousand
Guests from the world of mortals discuss the Tao,
In the end, the Taiqing Dynasty opened up the golden elixir avenue, the immortal Tao system, announced the method of killing three corpses, and proved the Tao of Hunyuan. It was revered as the Taoist ancestor by all the tribes in the prehistoric era and the head of the Three Pure Ones..."
Taiqing's enlightenment connects the past and the future, ends the ancient times, and opens the ancient era of immortality.
Soon after, he led the Taoist back to the West, further perfected the Hinayana Buddhism and the Buddhist cultivation system, preached to all races, and made great aspirations. Finally, he received feedback from heaven and realized the path of Hunyuan.
This Taoist-Buddhist exchange was relatively successful, a win-win situation and everyone was happy.
