Chapter 558: Dingguang Tathagata of the Deep World
Chapter 558 The Dingguang Tathagata of the Deep World
Deep in Jingzhou, there is a vast expanse of white, with vegetation that looks like glass growing.
What caught Ren Qing's eyes was the extremely rich Buddhist energy, which penetrated directly into the flesh and bones, trying to corrode all living things.
If Ren Qing hadn't known that Jingzhou was a unique restricted area composed of immortal rules, he would have thought that the deep world was the Western Buddhist world.
It can be seen from this that the people behind the scenes are indeed monks from Buddhism.
Moreover, there are still traces of civilization in the deep world, which can be seen from the official road not far away, and there are at least interconnected towns.
Ren Qing felt a little uncomfortable because the five senses of the physical Tathagata were between those of the Arhat statue, resulting in three different sets of organs.
When he accepts anything, he receives three times the amount of information.
What shocked Ren Qing was that the deep world was like a sphere, with the ground in all directions, but it was enveloped by Buddhist aura.
If nothing unexpected happens, he is probably inside the Taiyin Star Lord.
Since Lord Taiyin is close at hand, it shouldn't be difficult to use the Immortal Position to arrange a secret hand. The next step is to find the Immortal of Fortune.
The Buddha's energy makes it impossible for the Tathagata in the physical body to see too far clearly, so the deep world is still a mystery, full of secrets.
Ren Qing endured the strange movements of his body and soul and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
He found traces of the walking of a large number of giant objects, and even the Buddha statue hanging upside down on the ground above his head, which almost penetrated the sky and the earth.
Although the Buddha statue is in human form, it has traces of the celestial beings.
Moreover, most of the Buddhist aura in the deep world surrounds the Buddha statue, and it is obviously being suppressed, indicating what is banned within it.
Could it be that even the blessed deities in the deep world were forcibly converted to Buddhism?
It seems that the methods of the people behind the scenes are indeed a bit terrifying.
Just as Ren Qing wanted to dig deeper, the physical Tathagata began to tremble uncomfortably, and his murmurs continued, desperately resisting the erosion of the unknown Buddha's energy.
He just wanted to help the physical Tathagata, but he noticed that in the Niwan Palace where he was located, there was an unfamiliar soul aura slowly condensing.
Ren Qing's first reaction was that there were monks who wanted to seize the body of the Tathagata.
But he soon noticed that the soul aura was somewhat familiar, and it should come from ancient times.
Ren Qing digested the soul casually, and a large number of unfamiliar memories appeared in his mind, all about a monk named "Pu Wu".
Puwu studied under Xianhua Temple, and according to the information in his memory, it originated thousands of years ago.
After digesting the memory, Ren Qing found that the experience of universal enlightenment was very ordinary. In his previous life, he was a monk who was new to spiritual practice. He lived to be in his early twenties, and his life suddenly ended.
There is an obvious gap in Puwu's memory. In the last breath, he was still chanting sutras in front of the Buddha, and in the next breath, he had already arrived in the Niwan Palace of the Tathagata in the flesh.
Ren Qing summoned the information flow by the way to check the Buddhist energy in the deep world.
【Dingguang Buddha】
【Age:???】
【Shouyuan:???】
【Skill:???】
"Dingguang Buddha..."
Ren Qing frowned and thought, any Buddha involved in the Tathagata status should have been famous in this and past lives.
But there is nothing about Dingguang Buddha in his memory...
Wait, it’s impossible for Dingguang Buddha to refer to the ancient Buddha of Randeng. It seems that the ancient Buddha of Dingguang also has the teaching of Dingguang Tathagata.
It is said that when Ran Deng was born, everything emitted a faint light, so he was named Prince Ran Deng. When he became a Buddha, he was also named Ran Deng.
If the man behind the scenes is a disciple of the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng, then what is the Buddhist way of heaven?
The Randen Ancient Buddha is the past Buddha of Buddhism. If the Dingguang Buddha is involved in the Randen Ancient Buddha, it would be normal for him to be able to summon the ancient soul.
The Dingguang Buddha might be a fragment of the soul that was chopped off by the Ancient Buddha before it lost control.
Ren Qing had a headache, and it involved beings above the Earthly Immortal level, but at least he was fortunate that the people behind the scenes probably just borrowed part of the power of Dingguang Buddha.
Otherwise, it would not be possible to completely refine the Immortal of Merit.
Ren Qing controlled the physical Tathagata to open his mouth and spit out a strange broken object.
The strange thing soon turned into a worm, with a centipede-like appearance, with dozens of pairs of legs like a baby, and it moved extremely fast.
Ren Qing watched the centipede Gu slowly crawl towards the thick fog, but before he took a few steps, the centipede Gu fell to the ground and twitched all over.
Immediately afterwards, under the witness of Ren Qing, the Gu insect transformed into a human body, and its head became more and more like a statue in a temple.
In a short period of time, the centipede transformed into a strange Buddha.
Ren Qing could feel that there was soul energy gathering in Centipede Buddha's Niwan Palace again, and his dull eyes gradually regained his intelligence.
"This is where?"
Centipede Buddha muttered to himself in a trance, but before he could recover, he found the physical Tathagata who looked like a hill not far away.
"What kind of monster...ah!"
The ghost quietly walked around the Centipede Buddha, wrenched its neck, took out the soul and brought it to Ren Qing to digest the memory.
Ren Qing controlled the physical Tathagata to reject the ubiquitous Dingguang Buddha aura, while obtaining useful clues from the memory of the Centipede Buddha.
He quickly figured out the situation.
Under the influence of Dingguang Buddha, the insects in the deep world will gradually transform into Buddhas. Once the transformation is completely completed, the souls of ancient Buddhist monks will take over their bodies.
The reason why it doesn't work on ghosts is because they simply act on instinct and have no soul, not even a Niwan Palace.
Ren Qing didn't know the plan of the people behind the scenes, why they wanted to create a large number of Buddhas in the deep world. Is it to select the Buddha's sons for the given light Buddha?
But wouldn’t the ancient monks go crazy after taking away the poisonous insects from their homes?
Through two ancient monks, Ren Qing learned that Buddhism thousands of years ago was relatively pure, and order still existed at that time.
At least there is no situation where the souls of believers are used as consumables.
Ancient monks came to the deep world and found that they had become a different kind of Buddha. Even if they did not go crazy, they would become extreme.
How do you feel that you still can't escape the consequences of contacting the way of heaven?
"Well……"
Ren Qing had the same five senses as the physical Tathagata, and realized that the aura of Dingguang Buddha was getting stronger and stronger, and wanted to get into the body of the physical Tathagata.
He maintains the stability of the physical Tathagata and uses his consciousness to draw a ray of Buddha energy.
Ren Qing's heart is burning. If the Tathagata in the flesh can swallow the aura of Dingguang Buddha by leaps and bounds, it is unknown to what extent it will grow.
Just the three Arhat fruition levels, which the physical Tathagata can bear, can already help Ren Qing accelerate the efficiency of the Heavenly Dao crack by 20%.
Ren Qing wanted to absorb the energy of Dingguang Buddha, but the physical Tathagata seemed overwhelmed.
The mountain-like body shook, part of the flesh began to collapse, and the expressions of the three Arhat statues at the bottom were distorted to the extreme.
Ren Qing was startled.
Although the physical Tathagata is not valuable and can be refined with the same method, it will take a lot of time and Buddhist energy to grow.
Ren Qing stopped swallowing the Dingguang Buddha's energy and simply sealed the Buddha's energy within the body of the Tathagata.
The Buddhist aura from the outside world is no longer directed at the physical Tathagata. Perhaps the latter has been recognized by the rules of the deep world after containing a ray of Buddhist aura.
Ren Qing plans to advance the physical Tathagata to the realm of celestial deception first.
For the time being, I will no longer accept the transformation of heaven, so as not to affect the efficiency of swallowing the Buddha's energy.
There are currently not many types of Buddha Qi that can be used to feed the physical Tathagata, and it is not known whether it is enough to advance to the Heavenly Deception Realm.
Only then did Ren Qing think of the many treacherous realms in the sky.
I'm afraid their current situation is not very satisfactory. After all, the rules of the deep world are aimed at Taoist monks everywhere.
If one cannot resist the erosion of Buddha energy, one may even become a Buddha.
Ren Qing was leisurely and contented. After his body and soul turned into a nightmare, he sat in the Niwan Palace where the physical Tathagata sat. In fact, it was almost the same as the soul.
Unfortunately, the mobility of the physical Tathagata is almost zero. Even though you can rely on the Arhat statues at the bottom to move, there are only three statues.
Even if it's a slow walk, it's still very noisy.
Ren Qing estimated that there were large and small Buddhist forces entrenched in the deep world, so he simply waited for them to discover the physical Tathagata.
Let's see how the Buddhist forces will deal with the Tathagata in the flesh.
If he encounters danger, Ren Qing can use Heavenly Demon to seize the body and escape at any time, so he doesn't have to worry about being trapped in Jingzhou and unable to escape.
He used the Heavenly Demon Tribulation to eliminate his own sense of existence, communicated with the matchmakers in the Dragon Blood Sea, and sensed the situation in the Heavenly Creation Realm through the red line.
Nowadays can be regarded as the Age of Ending Dharma, after all, the path to immortality is almost cut off.
The Heavenly Creation Realm cannot be achieved through hard work. They all have various means to protect themselves, so they are still able to do so with ease at the moment.
Ren Qing guessed that they should all have means to resist the Buddha's aura.
Some of the Celestial Beings have relatively shallow cultivation and seem to be ready to leave Jingzhou, but most of the Celestial Beings still have thoughts about opportunities.
It’s not necessarily about ascending to immortality, you may also want to find out how the person behind the scenes controls the immortality.
Besides, they have already arrived in Jingzhou, and if there is no threat to their lives, if they stay for a while, there may be a turn for the better.
Ren Qing was ready to pull them into the pirate ship in Heaven when they could no longer hold on.
It is even foreseeable that the monks who leave Jingzhou will definitely tell others that the forces involved in Jingzhou will only increase.
It may not take long for the new forces in the surface world to find a way to use Gu insects to ascend.
Ren Qing took out the Buddhist energy of Bodhisattva Inexhaustible Intent and gave it to the Tathagata in the flesh to swallow.
The Buddha energy in the Bodhisattva stage is obviously not swallowed up as quickly as in the Arhat stage, but all the Arhat Buddha energy he already has has been absorbed.
The physical body of the Tathagata squirms, and its appearance is indeed a bit mind-numbing. It is more terrifying than the Buddha transformed into a worm.
In particular, the face of the Bodhisattva Wuyi is gradually taking shape. The statue of Bodhisattva is several times larger than the Arhat, and you can see that the flesh and blood are constantly surging.
At the same time, he was studying how to assign immortal duties to the Taiyin Star Lord. Theoretically, the deep world is located inside the blood moon.
Not long after, people from the deep world passed by.
When they saw the appearance of the Tathagata in the flesh, they were all frightened out of their wits. Many of them collapsed on the ground and almost fainted.
Ren Qing noticed that there were meritorious monks among the people.
However, the status of meritorious monks in the deep world should not be high, and they are engaged in the lowest jobs, which is definitely not in line with their expectations.
Ren Qing guessed that since deep Jingzhou is a world where Buddha walks everywhere, the role of mortals should be to serve Buddha.
When meritorious monks are demoted to the bottom and their nature is forcibly suppressed, they will definitely become more extreme.
But Ren Qing is now confused as to whether the people behind the scenes have any intention of contacting Tiandao. He always feels that the situation is out of the other party's control.
