The Great Enlightenment

While speaking, the two of them had already traveled millions of miles under the boundary wall of the galaxy, but the monstrous boundary wall above the sky above their heads was still vast and endless, as if it had never ended.

Suddenly, Guardian Shinra stopped, looked up at the edge of the barren sky and desert, and said, It seems that something happened in the Sumeru Tunnel.

Xu Tian followed his gaze, and saw a round of twisted vortexes with a radius of hundreds of thousands of feet, slowly rotating at the junction of the desolate sky desert and the boundary wall of the galaxy.

It's just that the extremely huge vortex of the light wheel showed an extremely unusual gray-black color at this time, vaguely covering up the bright golden light reflecting the sky and the earth.

what is that?

Xu Tian asked.

Guardian Shenluo frowned, and said: This is the barren desert, the edge of the galaxy wall, and it doesn't really enter the realm of the state and sky, and the vortex is the time and space leading to the holy mountain of Xumi. Tunnel, only by entering it can one truly step into the realm of the state and sky.

Xu Tian remained silent, but secretly used the breath of the true spirit to protect his surroundings. Not long ago, he had personally experienced the horror of the Galaxy Boundary Wall, and he did not dare to completely let go of his heart until he really stepped into the state-sky boundary. .

Guardian Shenluo turned his head, his eyes fell on Xu Tian's face, and he said, Could it be that the Galaxy Boundary Wall has noticed that there are creatures escaping from the Life Lock Realm, and the causal chain has been entangled here? But this is too fast some.

A smile appeared on Xu Tian's face, and he said: If the Fate Lock Realm is reluctant to part with me, an innate creature of the Fate Realm, I can only go back obediently.

Guardian Shinra shook his head slowly, looked back at the terrifying vortex that had turned gray and black, his pupils shrank slightly, and murmured: For some reason, I always have an ominous premonition...

boom!

A ray of celestial light erupted from the depths of the Sumeru Tunnel, sweeping across the stars for thousands of miles, turning the desolate sky and desert under the boundary wall of the galaxy into daytime!

A golden-cloaked deity shrouded in a dark golden light wheel walked out of the tunnel on the golden luan of light, looked down at the place where the guardian of the gods and Xu Tian were, and said: The golden palace of Haotian has the decree of Lingxiao, and the creatures in the life world must not Entering the realm of heaven and heaven, immediately hand it over to Emperor Zhenwu of the North Pole, and deal with it separately.

Around him, the dark golden fairy light wheel was filled with a terrifying aura from the ancient times, rolling towards all directions!

Protector Shenluo looked up at the sky-like dark gold god, his face was horrified, and he said in surprise: Zhenwu Emperor of the North Pole!

In front of the galaxy wall, all the expressionless patrol gods just now showed horror, staring at the golden robed god with disbelief in their eyes.

Under the cover of the dark golden light wheel, the golden-cloaked immortal looked down coldly at where Xu Tian and Guardian Shenluo were. The strong coercion made the two of them firmly imprisoned in place, unable to move even half a step. .

Emperor Zhenwu is so angry.

The light and fluttering sound spread across the desolate sky and desert, and the Buddha's light reflected in the sky fell down. Venerable Mahakasyapa stepped on the golden lotus to show his figure, with a smile on his face that seemed to be a smile, and he wiped it away with a wave of his sleeves. Overwhelmed the coercion of the gods and gods that swept across the world.

The golden-robed fairy god's eyes fell on Maha Kassapa's face, he paused, took out a roll of gold-patterned silk from his sleeve, and said, Venerable Maha Kassapa, this is from Haotian Golden Tower. Do you want to disobey the decree of Lingxiao?

Venerable Mahakassapa chuckled and said, The Thirty-Three Heavenly Court is the co-lord of heaven and earth. I am just a little Buddha. How dare I disobey the decree of heaven? The emperor is just joking.

Between the sleeves, the Buddha of the eight realms took Xu Tian from the bottom of the barren sky and desert, and placed it in front of him. He looked at Emperor Zhenwu with a little playfulness in his eyes: I never thought that a small The fact that such a small creature from the Fate Realm can alert the Emperor Zhenwu to come in person really makes my Sumeru Realm even more radiant.

There was a ray of Buddha's light between his fingers, covering Xu Tian from the beginning to the end. This scene was watched by the golden robed god, and the dark golden fairy's divine light wheel around him couldn't help but restrained a lot.

Honor Mahakassapa, what do you mean?

The golden-robed god held the scroll of golden-patterned silk, and spoke in a deep voice.

Mahakasyapa smiled and said: Although the Thirty-Three Heavenly Court is the co-lord of the heaven and earth in the realm of the state and the sky, my Sumeru boundary wall is at the edge of the realm of the state and the sky, so this decree of the Lingxiao, The monk can only obey half of it.

The golden-robed god frowned, as if he had already thought that this trip would not be too smooth, his stern expression did not change much, but he asked, Maha Kassapa please speak clearly.

Mahakasyapa looked sideways at Xu Tian, ​​squinted his eyes, and said: There is no need to say much about the particularity of beings in the life world, but whether it is the Taoist source religion that advocates Taoism and nature, or the Buddhist source religion that transcends all spirits, Teaching is based on the living beings in the world, since this person has entered the realm of heaven and earth, he will be counted as a creature of heaven and earth in our state from now on, why don't you ask him where he wants to go?

The golden-robed god frowned more tightly, his eyes fell on Xu Tian's face, and just about to speak, Mahakasyapa continued: Please rest assured, Emperor Zhenwu, I did not cast any spell on him, the emperor Since Zun holds the Lingxiao decree, you can talk to him first, and it will be counted as the little monk who has complied with half of the Lingxiao decree.

As a Buddha who had the opportunity to enter the Great Leiyin Temple to discuss the Tao, His Holiness really deserves his reputation.

The golden-robed god sighed, looking at more and more Xumi creatures in all directions, knowing that he could not take Xu Tian away forcibly with a volume of Lingxiao Dharma, so he nodded and agreed with Maha Kasyapa's proposal.

Mahakassapa smiled, dispersed the Buddha's light in his hand, and said to Xu Tian: The golden-cloaked deity in front of you is one of the famous thirty-three heavenly courts and nine emperors, the taboo of immortals and gods. For the Great Emperor Zhenwu of the North Pole, this time he personally descended to the Xumi boundary wall with the decree of Lingxiao, and he came here specially for you.

Xu Tian looked at the golden-cloaked deity who was as brilliant as the sky, and knew that he was determined to be unable to resist the power of the gods emanating from it, so he smiled wryly, and said, Please speak frankly, the emperor.

The golden-robed deity was silent for a while, and said: The Thirty-Three Heavenly Court is the co-lord of heaven and earth. If you follow me back to the Haotian Golden Tower and meet the heavens, you will have at least one of the Nine Imperial Emperors from now on.

Hearing the words visiting the heavens in his mouth, Venerable Mahakassapa's mouth curled up with a trace of sarcasm, but he didn't speak. He just looked at Xu Tian quietly, waiting for his answer.

Xu Tian glanced at Venerable Mahakassapa beside him, and the two of them met each other for a while, and then they roughly understood each other's thoughts. After thinking for a while, Xu Tian raised his head and said, Emperor Zhenwu loves you, Xu Tian is really I am flattered, but Xu Tian is pure and kind, and perhaps the way of enlightening all souls of the Buddhist Yuanjiao is more suitable for me.

Hearing this, the gaze of the golden-robed god sank slightly, and the terrifying aura of immortal gods spread down from the sky, sweeping across the vast and boundless barren sky and desert in an instant!

boom!

Around Mahakassapa's body, a circle of virtuous light blasted out, turning into a round of red-gold light curtain, protecting all the creatures of Sumi within it!

Emperor Zhenwu's behavior is too domineering, isn't it?

Mahakassapa maintained the torrential light curtain that covered the world, and he was in a protective posture from beginning to end, This creature in the life world has clearly made a choice, why does the emperor still want to be so aggressive?

The face of the golden-robed god completely sank, but he still held the scroll of golden-patterned heavenly silk in his hand, and did not suppress the godly aura that swept through Tianmo.

At the same time, many patrolling gods on the boundary wall of the galaxy also came over, and the god with the oldest breath saluted Emperor Zhenwu, and said respectfully: We, the gods of the boundary wall, have seen True Martial Emperor.

The face of the golden-cloaked god became even uglier, but he still remained patient and asked, What's the matter?

The ancient god glanced at the turbulent and barren sky and desert luck, and said: We, the ancient gods, were born by relying on the boundary wall of the galaxy, and our duty is to protect the peace of this boundary wall. If Emperor Zun continues to make trouble like this without any scruples, it will inevitably disturb the sleeping ancient spirit of the boundary wall, and then accidentally trigger Zhou Tiantian's punishment, which is not beautiful.

The golden-cloaked deity looked coldly at the creatures in all directions, knowing that he could not get any benefits this time, he folded his palms and put away the golden-patterned silk, and said coldly: What a Mahakassapa! I salute you! Or, you really take yourself seriously! Refusing to accept the decree of Lingxiao, resisting the destiny and not obeying it, you are so courageous!

After saying this, he turned into a dark golden beam of light with a radius of hundreds of feet, rolling across the desolate sky and desert with a shocking roar, crushing countless creatures under the Sumeru Boundary Wall, and then went straight Penetrated into the space-time tunnel, never to be seen again.

The face of the Shinra Guardian below was full of fear, but there was also a hint of joy in his eyes. He walked up to Maha Kassapa and said loudly: Your Majesty is so majestic and incomparable that he retreated from the fame in just a few words. The True Martial Emperor of Heaven and Earth!

However, Mahakassapa suppressed his smile, looked at the messy and desolate sky and desert, with a serious expression on his face, and said: We are brazenly resisting Lingxiao's decree this time, this matter will never be good, at least we will not be able to do it well. Only by paying a huge price can this cause and effect be barely smoothed out, but...

When his eyes fell on Xu Tian, ​​his expression softened a little, It's not a pity to pay any price to save this life-world creature.

Protector Shenluo was a little puzzled, and asked: My lord, what is so special about the creatures in the world of life locks that they can attract such a big battle?

Maha Kassapa looked at his favorite Dharma protector, and casually placed a light curtain beside him, saying: Don't ask too many questions, knowing too much will not do you good.

The guardian god of the gods responded reluctantly, but Maha Kassapa's flat voice sounded in his ears again, Looking at the vast and endless thirty-three heavenly courts, there are only so many creatures in the eight realms, and in the source religion of my Buddhist family, only In the Daleiyin Temple of Lingshan, there are many hidden Buddhas of the eight realms, but even so, the Thirty-Three Heavenly Court can still command the heaven and the earth, and they are respected as the co-lords of the heaven and the earth, even if I wait for the eight realms of reincarnation Your lord, you dare not openly defy the decree of heaven, don't you know the reason?

Protector Shenluo thought for a moment, and said: Because the Thirty-Three Heavenly Court is the master of heaven and earth recognized by the state's rules, if we confront him head-on, we will lose the merit and luck accumulated between heaven and earth, at least If the cultivation base falls, the soul will be shattered, and the true spirit will collapse.

Mahakasyapa nodded and said: That's right, it firmly occupies the rules of the state and heaven, no matter whether it is the reincarnation of the six realms, the rebirth of the true spirit, the addition of immortal taboos, or the conferment of gods, none of them can get around the thirty-three heavenly courts. Jurisdiction. The reason why my Buddhist Yuanjiao created the reincarnation under the holy mountain of Sumeru is to establish a place similar to the six reincarnations to accommodate the true spirit, but the rules of the state and sky are too strict, and the reincarnation is extremely strict. So far there has been no breakthrough.”

He glanced sideways at Xu Tian outside the light curtain, with an inexplicable expression on his face, The creatures of the Fate Realm come from the Fate Lock Realm. Although the Fate Lock Realm is not big, it can barely be counted as the parallel realm of the State and Heaven Realm. Therefore, beings in the life world are not bound by the rules of the state and heaven when they are born, protector Shenluo, have you forgotten the last life being who was famous in the sky?

Guardian Shinra thought of the peerless girl in the lotus-petal satin skirt in his mind, and exclaimed in surprise, Honor Miao Shan!

Mahakasyapa nodded, with a hint of palpitation in his expression, and said: At the beginning, Venerable Miao Shan, who had an inexplicable origin, was born out of nowhere. He crossed the boat and went to Daleiyin Temple on Lingshan alone, and even awakened the World Honored One. At that time, I took a look at her from a distance, and since then, I will never forget the amazing aura that soared into the sky between her brows and eyes.

Up to this point, the Venerable Mahakassapa sighed, It's just that as her aura of life gradually fades until she truly integrates into the realm of the state and sky, the shimmering aura that seems to be as startling as a bird is no longer there. See you again, what is left is only a special Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Guardian Shenluo was still a little puzzled, and said: But Venerable Miaoshan didn't come through the wall of the galaxy. Although all the Buddhas in Lingshan later knew that he came from the realm of life lock, how did my Buddha conclude this? Is it true?

Mahakasyapa smiled and said: My Buddha, the World Honored One, can understand all things in the world, know the past and the future, and calculate the origin of Venerable Miaoshan with just a pinch of my fingers? It's just that she doesn't seem to be because of the heavy shackles of fate. It is because of other reasons, the Buddha has never talked to us about this, so I have never known what it is.

Protector Shinra saluted with palms together: Thank you, Venerable Mahakasyapa, for clarifying the confusion, Shinra has been taught.

Mahakassapa waved his hand and said: Go ahead and bring this life-world creature to the place I arranged immediately. This matter is under the watchful eyes of the Great Leiyin Temple, so you must not slack off in the slightest. .”

Protector Shinra looked solemn, and replied: Don't worry, my lord, Shinra swears by his life, and there will be no mistakes in this matter.

Mahakassapa was obviously very relieved of him, and said, Let's go.

Guardian Shenluo saluted again, then walked out of the light curtain and walked to Xu Tian's side who was not far away.

Mahakassapa lowered his gaze, feeling the countless spiritual auras that gradually disappeared in the barren sky and desert below, sighed, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes devoutly, and recited sutras for the creatures crushed and killed by Emperor Zhenwu just now. , Send his true spirit to reincarnate in the lower realm.
