Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming - Chapter 833 - 827: Trading Two Divine Items
“As long as the plan can be implemented, and no major mistakes occur in the future, the Glazed Glass Light King Buddha will have a great opportunity to advance to the Creation realm. Then it can be called the Glazed Glass Bright Buddha, becoming the second Buddha of our Western Buddhist sects!”
Ming Guang Bodhisattva continued to speak eloquently, painting a beautiful prospect for Qin Feng: “Once the Glazed Glass Light King Buddha advances to the Creation realm, Biluo will have its fifth Creation Great Power.
Even if strong enemies invade the realm in the future, it can ensure that each of the Five Domains has a Creation realm ancestor stationed, preventing significant chaos.
This is a great opportunity to enhance Biluo’s overall potential and foundation, an opportunity we cannot afford to miss!”
Qin Feng gave Ming Guang Bodhisattva a peculiar look.
What did this guy mean by that?
Could it be that the Spring and Autumn Ancestor and the Heavenly Union are not enough to hold the Central Domain, and that the Great Light Temple is looking to take this opportunity to step into the Central Domain?
Yes, that’s it. The Western Regions are inherently Buddhist territory, although for countless years everyone has called the Western Regions’ Buddhist sects the three great holy lands, in actuality, everyone knows the so-called three great holy lands are led by the Great Leiyin Temple!
Once the Great Light Temple also has their Buddha stationed, if they’re not satisfied with the current territory and don’t want internal struggles within Buddhism, then expanding their influence outward and taking the opportunity to stabilize a foothold in the Central Domain seems like a good chance.
Of course, they cannot seize all the Confucian territory, that’s unrealistic!
But even splitting the Central Domain with the Spring and Autumn Academy, no, just having 30% of the Central Domain is already quite a vast region, at least larger than the territory they occupy in the Western Regions.
After all, the temples in various countries in the Western Regions are countless, each with their own lineage. Although the Great Light Temple is one of the three great holy lands in Buddhism, it actually does not occupy even 10% of the territory in the Western Regions, and its actual controlling power pales compared to the Great Leiyin Temple!
The Central Domain has always been prosperous, with a population size and levels of prosperity far surpassing those in the Western Regions.
After all, Confucianism governs each country per regulations, unlike the Western Regions where everyone follows Buddhism. Whether in terms of development among the populace or the intellect level of commoners, it is much stronger than that in the Western Regions.
But, if they want to benefit from the Central Domain, it depends on whether they have the courage to do so!
After all, those Confucian sages are not to be trifled with; even if there is an additional Buddha in the Creation realm, it might not be enough to dominate the sages and great powers of the major academies!
Ming Guang Bodhisattva clearly understood the meaning in Qin Feng’s eyes and couldn’t help but be moved.
He hadn’t originally considered this issue; now with Qin Feng’s doubt, he suddenly realized it, and if there truly was an opportunity in the future, perhaps…he could attempt it!
Soon, he shook his head, suppressing the thought.
There’s no need to contemplate such unsubstantial matters now, or else if a seed is planted in the hearts of Buddhism’s high ranks, they might act on it in the future.
Then it might arouse dissatisfaction among the Confucian sages in the Central Domain, leading to irreconcilable conflicts within Biluo.
Conflicts among ordinary people gradually fade as time passes; even if entrenched, a lifetime is just decades, and when one’s life ends, nothing remains.
But it’s different for great powers; they shine as brightly as the sun and moon, live as long as the heavens and earth, with an everlasting Dao and undying spirit light, making them eternal in the world. If conflicts arise, they’re not easily resolved and could be held as grudges across endless years!
Thus, Ming Guang Bodhisattva quickly shifted the topic, unwilling to dwell on it further, and started discussing the various benefits of the Glazed Glass Light King Buddha advancing to the Creation realm with Qin Feng, while several other bodhisattvas chimed in occasionally.
Regarding this, Qin Feng listened attentively on the surface but didn’t take it to heart.
Since understanding the calculations of these bodhisattvas and Buddhas from the Great Light Temple, he felt reassured.
At the very least, these monks were not trying to scheme against him!
Otherwise, he would never again associate with these Buddhists!
Yet, even though Ming Guang Bodhisattva laid everything bare, Qin Feng remained silent.
Despite knowing their plans, this is the Great Light Temple’s strategy, not much related to him!
Even if everything goes as planned by the Great Light Temple, and there are no issues leading to success, it’s the Great Light Temple who benefits.
Their Glazed Glass Light King Buddha may break through the barrier to the Creation realm, becoming the Glazed Glass Bright Buddha, the second Buddha of Buddhism in Biluo!
Moreover, the entire Great Light Temple could gain many benefits, embedding the Bright system’s power into their lineage, offering countless Buddhist cultivators the opportunity to advance their cultivation, substantially boosting the overall strength, potentially nurturing a few more bodhisattvas or even Buddhas!
By then, it won’t merely be the strength of one strong individual raising the Great Light Temple, but their entire strength could rival the Great Leiyin Temple, perhaps even grabbing the chance to become the sixth dominator-level force in Biluo!
For Qin Feng, this is merely a marginal increase in Biluo’s overall strength, an additional strong presence in the Creation realm, slightly reinforcing Biluo’s ability to confront external threats.
But does it benefit him personally?
Even if the Great Light Temple misses this opportunity and the Glazed Glass Light King Buddha doesn’t achieve immortality, there are other eternal realm great powers in the cultivation world with opportunities to advance.
Especially the Mountain Master Gongsun Cuo of the Spring and Autumn Academy, noted as the top eternal realm strong entity, already with one foot in the Creation realm, more likely to advance than the Glazed Glass Light King Buddha!
Now that Biluo enters another era of contention, with Gongsun Cuo’s potential, as long as he finds the opportunity, he can advance that final step, successfully upgrading, adding another Creation great power to Biluo!
Besides Gongsun Cuo, there are also entities like the Five Elements Ancestor, the Palace Master of the Wuji Star Palace, and Lady Ruoshui of the Divine Water Palace among the eternal realm peak great powers, all with opportunities for further advancement, only lacking the chance.
Thus, even if the Great Light Temple’s plan fails, and the Glazed Glass Light King Buddha doesn’t advance to immortality, it tethers little consequence for Biluo; other eternal realm powers may still find their fortune.
And Qin Feng, certainly, doesn’t need to risk his life for the Great Light Temple’s future!
This may sound severe; the Great Light Temple would surely make all arrangements if indeed he is sent to the Demon Realm, ensuring his safety to the greatest extent.
But compared to others’ guarantees, he trusts his own strength more!
So he still intends to wait until he proves the Dao and becomes a Golden Immortal before he talks about going to the Demon Realm to seek collaboration with the Fallen Angel!
Above, several bodhisattvas and the Ancient Buddha Long Jia observed Qin Feng’s demeanor, seeing him listen intently yet remain silent, instantly understanding his thoughts.
Nine Precepts Bodhisattva slightly frowned, feeling somewhat displeased!
They’d explained this much, and yet this young one hasn’t stated his position?
This Bodhisattva cares only for the common good, considering it beneficial to the Biluo Great World all together, with everyone contributing equally as they should!
Moreover, with their stature highly respected, having been reasonable with a young one for so long, naturally, the young one should be overwhelmingly grateful, eagerly cooperating with them.
After all, Qin Feng is not merely a member of the Biluo cultivators but also the Son of Biluo’s Qi Luck, carrying immense qi fortune bestowed by Biluo. Facing matters that increase Biluo’s strength, he should wholeheartedly support and actively assist, yet why maintain this attitude?
Thus, a hint of displeasure immediately appeared on the otherwise dignified face of the Nine Precepts Bodhisattva. He was about to reprimand Qin Feng, feeling that as the Master of Qi Luck, he should be thinking about the future of Biluo, and that it was his duty to do so. Otherwise, he was unworthy of being the Son of Biluo’s Qi Luck!
Fortunately, Ming Guang Bodhisattva, who knew his temperament well, quickly sent a message secretly to stop him, fearing that the situation might take a turn for the worse.
After pacifying the Nine Precepts Bodhisattva, Ming Guang Bodhisattva exchanged a glance with the Dragon Buddha. Seeing the Buddha slightly nod, he pondered for a moment before turning to Qin Feng and saying, “My young friend has his reservations, which is understandable. After all, the Demon Realm is fraught with danger. It makes sense to wait until your strength reaches the appropriate realm before venturing there.
However, our Great Light Temple wants to preemptively strategize to seize the opportunity, so we cannot afford to delay. I hope you can accommodate us and lend a helping hand!”
For a Bodhisattva who has proven immortal to speak so politely to a Heavenly Immortal like him, Qin Feng must provide some response.
Thus, he did not remain silent, slightly bowing his head and saying, “Bodhisattva, you’re too kind. If I can be of assistance, I naturally won’t hesitate. But since this matter is of great importance, and I am, after all, a cultivator of the Beast Taming Sect, I should consult with the elders of my sect before venturing into the vast and powerful world outside of Biluo.
How about this: I’ll return to my sect first and report this matter to the two ancestors. As long as they agree, I, Qin, will have no objections and will immediately accompany your temple to the Demon Realm to meet those powerful ones!”
“…”
The words left several Bodhisattvas speechless.
Nine Precepts Bodhisattva found this quite normal, as he considered it only natural for a young sect disciple to report back to his elders.
However, Ming Guang Bodhisattva and the others were well aware that not long ago, Jue Tian Ancestor had led a team to the Central Region to join with Gui Ling Ancestor, and together with the expedition force from Spring and Autumn Academy, had left Biluo headed straight for the Nordic God Realm.
That is a high-ranking Divine Realm. Even though they had meticulously calculated their moves beforehand and the odds of victory were high, it was still unknown how long it would take to eliminate all threats and pacify that world even if they gained the upper hand.
There would undeniably be remnants who escape and cause trouble. Coupled with gathering resources from that world, no one knew how long it would delay.
By the time the two ancestors of the Beast Taming Sect returned from the Otherworld, perhaps several decades might have passed.
Even if a settled scenario could allow one ancestor to return earlier to oversee the mountain gate, they may not necessarily agree to Qin Feng venturing into the Demon Realm with them, and a simple excuse would suffice to fend them off.
Thus, they had to persuade Qin Feng now. Otherwise, after he returned to his sect, he would never easily come to the Western Regions again.
At this point, Ming Guang Bodhisattva realized that substantial benefits had to be offered to Qin Feng, who wouldn’t take risks without seeing rewards. It must be genuine treasures that would entice him.
Even ordinary treasures would not catch his eye. Hadn’t he casually taken out a cluster of life origin earlier in exchange with the Great Light Temple?
Although that cluster of life origin wasn’t much, it indicated that he had considerable fortune with origin divine items. Ordinary treasures wouldn’t move his heart!
“The actions of the Light God Realm are domineering. We can’t hope that they’ll stop probing after just one defeat. If they incite other worlds to attack the cultivators on Biluo’s expedition, discovering our strengths and weaknesses could prematurely spark mega-world wars!”
Ming Guang Bodhisattva seriously said, “Thus, we shouldn’t delay too long because of this; everything should be planned sooner rather than later.
Of course, my young friend’s strength is still weak, and it’s indeed a bit risky to head to the Demon Realm at this time!
In that case, our Great Light Temple will dispatch two bodhisattvas to protect you throughout this journey, ensuring your safety.
Moreover, our temple has amassed some treasures over the years. Some are well-suited to you, and we could offer them to help you enhance your strength and expedite your promotion. What do you think?”
“This… is not appropriate, right?”
Qin Feng showed a bit of a troubled expression, but secretly he couldn’t help but think, why didn’t they present the benefits first? Why so much pointless chatter?
However, he refused: “We all think for the future of Biluo. How could I, the younger generation, accept your temple’s treasures!”
Well, well, let’s see what they have to offer. If the items don’t appeal, then of course, he won’t accept them!
But if they genuinely suit him and significantly aid his cultivation, accompanying them is nothing.
The Great Light Temple surely would have made preparations for entering the Demon Realm, fully intending to protect his safety. Thus, barring any unforeseen events, his security on this venture should be ensured.
“Ah, please do not be so courteous, my young friend!”
Ming Guang Bodhisattva laughed warmly and waved his hand, ushering in two Dharma Protector Vajras, each carrying a treasure as they entered the hall upon the Bodhisattva’s signal, presenting them before Qin Feng.
Qin Feng glanced down and was immediately intrigued.
These two treasures were both origin divine objects!
However, one was a mass of black water contained within a Purple Gold Bowl.
The Purple Gold Bowl, a Buddha treasure, emitted a rich golden light, while the black water, dark as ink, exuded an endless sinister aura that gave off an ominous feeling!
Together, these two treasures seemed out of place, but the black water’s malevolence was so intense that without being suppressed by the Buddha treasure, it might have flowed out long ago, defiling the Light Peak, this sacred Buddhist ground.
Qin Feng understood in his heart. No wonder these monks were so magnanimous in gifting origin divine objects—it was because of their sinister attributes, which were of no use to them!
Though Buddhist skills encompass many techniques that can influence the mind, they invariably exhibit compassion, majesty, or divinity in their applications; they never mix with such malevolent auras.
The Great Light Temple’s techniques are open and righteous, making them incapable of absorbing or refining such sinister objects.
It is the Daoists who are not taboo to these things, especially Qin Feng, who cultivates the Curse Principle and commands exotic sacred creatures like the three-legged crow. Thus, the Great Light Temple simply presented these otherwise unusable treasures to him.
However, the other item was considerably more regular.
It was a grayish stone, the size of a fist!
The stone took an irregular shape and looked unremarkable, but it was imbued with a dense space power!
This stone was undoubtedly a divine stone containing an intense space law, and who knew where these monks had procured such a treasure, yet were willing to give it away.
Qin Feng looked up at the Void Vakasangha Bodhisattva.
This Bodhisattva had profound achievements in the path of space, so it was likely that the treasure was obtained by him in the past.
However, the space law power of this divine stone was so potent that even to those who’ve proven Dao immortality, this item was an invaluable treasure. If refined, it could potentially enhance one’s strength, and that they were willing to present it showed they were indeed going all out.
It seemed they had truly made an effort to secure his assistance!
Of course, if their plan succeeded, the benefits they’d gain would far exceed what they’re offering now; the Beast Taming Sect would likely do the same!
