Capítulo 2532: Chapter 246: Kong Zen and the Buddha Lord (Part 3)
Tianshang Buddha Lord looked at Wang Ba with some surprise, then shook his head slightly, sighing a bit:
“After all, you are too obsessed with appearances… Besides that, there are no other conditions. As long as you can leave by your own ability, I promise you, this time I will not harm you. I swear this by the True Buddha.”
Wang Ba heard this and smiled slightly, putting away the Chaos Green Fox beside him, then looked at the Heavenly Monarch Chao next to him:
“Master Chao, go ahead.”
Heavenly Monarch Chao hesitated for a moment as he met Wang Ba’s gaze, and upon feeling the other’s determination, he finally nodded.
He believed in Wang Ba, trusting not only in his ability but also in the fact that he would never do something so foolish.
The Dharma Realm space then opened a door leading to the Lotus Buddha Country, and Heavenly Monarch Chao flew out immediately.
Inside the Lotus Buddha Country, the six Buddhas who had been guarding the space now gradually faded away.
When Kong Zen walked out of the void again, he saw no Buddhas blocking his path, which slightly surprised him, but when he saw Heavenly Monarch Chao flying over, he didn’t dare delay and quickly took him and the four Mahayana cultivators out.
The Heavenly Monarch Chao and the four Mahayana cultivators in front of him were taken away by Kong Zen and then appeared in a distant void.
Tianshang Buddha Lord withdrew his gaze and then looked at Wang Ba, with a rare hint of warmth in his voice:
“You are one of the few whose cultivation is far less than mine, yet can push me to this point… The vastness of the Realm Sea truly produces outstanding people.”
“But now that I have severed the cause and effect, how can you leave?”
“I see a great compassion in your heart, not someone who is selfish or self-interested, and you seem to have a karmic connection with our Buddha.”
“Why not join my Supreme True Buddha?”
“The unification of the entire Third Realm Sea by the Supreme True Buddha is a long-term endeavor, and it might not even be accomplished in my generation. Perhaps the next Buddha Lord will be needed. If you join my True Buddha, I am willing to set you as the true future Buddha Lord, inheriting all of the Supreme True Buddha!”
At this moment, within the Dharma Realm space, there were only these two people, and Tianshang Buddha Lord looked at Wang Ba, rarely revealing his heartfelt admiration.
He did not hide his appreciation for Wang Ba at all.
Wang Ba was slightly surprised by the words, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Tianshang Buddha Lord and asked:
“Thank you, Buddha Lord, for your favor, but I want to ask, what exactly does the Supreme True Buddha wish to accomplish?”
“Does the True Buddha still exist?”
Perhaps because Wang Ba was determined to leave, or perhaps he sincerely wanted to invite Wang Ba to join the Supreme True Buddha.
“The True Buddha naturally exists, within the sutras, within our hearts… When the Lotus Buddha Country blooms again, the True Buddha can be seen.”
Tianshang Buddha Lord mused for a moment, then spoke candidly without hiding:
“As for what we wish to achieve…”
“I ask you, have you ever fantasized that if you ascended to the Second Realm Sea, there would be no more conflict and troubles?”
Seeing Wang Ba nod slightly, he shook his head and said:
“Actually, that’s wrong. Even in the Second Realm Sea, there are still struggles and deceit, cultivators, monks, even if their cultivation is high, they still vie for supremacy… Is such a world truly the one we hope for?”
“If the pursuit of cultivation realm is our goal, is there truly an end to this goal?”
“If cultivation realm could overshadow everything, what then is the meaning of our existence?”
Wang Ba remained silent, seemingly shocked by the scenario he described.
Tianshang Buddha Lord slowly said:
“Therefore, we wish to create a pure land truly belonging to the cycle of cause and effect.”
“This pure land, does not take cultivation as its goal. Cultivation is merely a means, just a way for everyone to achieve extreme bliss, not an endless pursuit of power… Through cultivation, everyone can live in a true pure land of extreme bliss.”
“This goal cannot be achieved in the Second Realm Sea, where the number of powerful cultivators is innumerable…”
“But in the Third Realm Sea, there is a great possibility of success.”
“As long as the Lotus Buddha Country serves as the key, uniting the three Dharma Realms of ‘Past, Present, and Future’ truly into one, it can serve as the starting point to create a true Pure Land of Extreme Joy!”
“Henceforth, there will be no more conflicts, just peaceful cultivation leading to eternal bliss.”
Tianshang Buddha Lord paused slightly, gazing intently at Wang Ba, asking slowly:
“Layman Taiyi, are you willing to enter my Buddha Kingdom?”
Feeling the expectant gaze of Tianshang Buddha Lord, Wang Ba fell silent for a moment before finally shaking his head:
“I understand your intentions, Buddha Lord, but you have gone down a crooked path. There is no once-and-for-all solution in this world, nor will there ever be a truly pure land of extreme bliss. If it does exist, somewhere in this world, there must also be a hell enduring pain they shouldn’t have to bear, whether it be us or someone else…”
Seeing this scene, hearing these words, Tianshang Buddha Lord’s face was covered with disappointment and sighed:
“I knew it; someone like you with a steadfast Dao-heart could not easily change their path.”
“Since that’s the case…”
His tone paused, revealing a hint of ruthlessness and indifference between his teeth:
“Hand over that Plague Demon to me!”
Before the words were finished, the surrounding space instantly folded, as if trying to collapse Wang Ba into a narrow space!
At the same time, Tianshang Buddha Lord’s palm thunderously struck towards Wang Ba.
Wang Ba, seemingly having anticipated this, did not dodge or resist, merely showing a slightly regretful smile:
“Buddha Lord, your decisiveness in killing does not suit a monk.”
In the next instant, his figure inexplicably disappeared in the astonished gaze of Tianshang Buddha Lord.
“Cause and effect rules?!”
“This, this is impossible! I clearly have severed all cause and effect connections… Could he be hiding?!”
With a thought, his Spiritual Sense instantly scanned the entire Dharma Realm space but could not detect any trace of Wang Ba’s aura.
Both shocked and suspicious!
Then, as if he sensed something, he suddenly turned his head, gathering Heavenly Eye Divine Power to his eyes, his gaze piercing through the Dharma Realm, through the void in an instant.
In the distant void of the Realm Sea, where Kong Zen had just successfully picked up the Mahayana cultivators but had not yet left, seemingly waiting for something, a figure suddenly emerged beside him!
Wearing a green robe, the face appeared somewhat ordinary, but the demeanor was ethereal and mysterious.
It was True Man Taiyi.
Kong Zen seemed to have been waiting for a long time; upon seeing True Man Taiyi, without any hesitation, he activated the Teleportation Array!
The figures quickly stepped into it, disappearing into the void.
Amidst the surrounding green and black aura, in the seemingly collapsing void of the Dharma Realm, Tianshang Buddha Lord stood there dumbfounded, watching this scene.
His gaze finally fell on the figures of Wang Ba and Kong Zen as they disappeared.
At this moment, he finally vaguely understood something, his eyes full of realization and shock:
“Cause and effect as one!”
“You, you and he are…”
