Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 464 A Moment of Heavenly Mind
Wu Zhang Vajra, seeing all beings trapped in the karmic fires, raised his hand in a mudra, and a white precept blade appeared in his hand. At the same time, each of the Five Dhyani Buddhas held a Buddhist artifact in their hands, both real and illusory, emitting the majestic aura of a True Buddha.
Blade, sword, wheel gem, vajra, lotus.
Samaya form, no demons may transgress.
Before each of the Five Dhyani Buddhas, a glorious scene spread out, transforming into a flowing river. These were all the vows of the Five Buddhas spreading the Dharma in the human world, each shaping a future of their own. The Buddhist Dharma made great vows, just like Ksitigarbha, vowing not to become a Buddha until Hell is empty. Therefore, after floating in the river of vows for a long time, the world of salvation gradually possessed the divine power promised in the vows, which would surely be obtained in the future.
The five rivers converged, transforming into a vast ocean. The Five Buddhas rose, supported by the surging sea, and the flames of the fiery cross immediately subsided.
"Vajra world, nine realms' holy forms, manifestation of the equable flow body."
Before Christ could make any move, Wu Zhang Vajra immediately initiated another Dharma before one Buddhist Dharma was completed. Interlocking, in this Vajra Realm, he was the Vajra Buddha Lord, the venerable of trillions of living beings. Any external Dharma had limited effect here, while his Dharma power was infinite.
Among the Five Dhyani Buddhas, nine more forms appeared beside Wu Zhang Vajra.
Hell Rakshasa, flame hungry ghost, beast-headed ox, Asura demon, human cultivator, deva of the heavenly realm, Sravaka Arhat, Pratyekabuddha, Bodhisattva.
Equable flow body refers to the manifested transformations of the Buddha's body, the incarnations that are equal to the beings of the nine realms other than the Buddha realm.
The incarnations manifested and returned to oneness, as if releasing these nine holy forms from the inner cage, obtaining supreme power.
"Ten realms complete!"
Although the Demon Celestial Master was still interfering at this time, he was astonished by the transformations of Mahavairocana, secretly thinking that he wouldn't be able to get this old bald donkey away without investing a lot of capital this time. He didn't expect him to be not only of the Heavenly Heart Mahayana level, but his Buddhist Dharma cultivation had reached the level of Ten Realms Complete!
One realm, one great vow, one realm, one manifestation. Each of the ten realms of Buddhist Dharma had its true form manifested, and Mahavairocana's Wu Zhang Vajra form was his Buddha realm image! With ten vows complete, even among the Buddhas in the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Pure Land of Sukhavati, and the Summit of Mount Sumeru, few had accomplished this.
This was no longer a technique of transformation, but Mahavairocana had truly fallen into the corresponding great realm, transforming into the corresponding existence, and returning to the Buddha position after difficult cultivation. Therefore, the ten realms' great vows and the ten realms' true forms were all complete. These Five Dhyani Buddhas were him, and the forms of the ten realms were also him!
"No wonder he can easily convert the fierce ghosts in the Immortal Artifact Hungry Ghost Grass Paper into Buddhas, and even be unaffected by the pull of the six paths of reincarnation. It turns out that the forms of the six paths have already been completed in the images of the ten realms. Hell, hungry ghosts, beasts, Asuras, the human and heavenly worlds are all within them… Ksitigarbha is ultimately an Equable Enlightenment Bodhisattva... No matter how strong, he is still an Equable Enlightenment. Although he has the six forms of Ksitigarbha and the compassionate Vajra body, he still lacks two compared to Mahavairocana."
"Well... although the gap between them cannot be bridged by just two images..."
Although Avalokitesvara had thirty-three incarnations, she had not completed the ten realms' forms. The first six correspond to the six paths, which are called the Six Domains in Buddhism, while the last four are the Four Saints.
The reason why Bodhisattvas are Bodhisattvas is that they have not cultivated Pratyekabuddha and Arhat. Perhaps some people have successfully switched from Arhat to the Bodhisattva path, but certainly not Ksitigarbha and Avalokitesvara.
The Demon Celestial Master felt troubled and was weighing the gains and losses. At this time, he needed Ji Xiang to help him go to Qingcheng Ghost Capital, and he also knew that Ji Xiang had obtained the power of the ancient Celestial Venerable lost in the Tang Dynasty, and had been to the underworld more than once. He was very experienced in this and was the best candidate.
After all, to fight against Heavenly Heart Mahayana, or even stronger guys, it was necessary to complete the Spiritual Immortal Arts left by Zhang Xiu.
Celestial Master Zhang, who represents the mountains and rivers, also reached a deal with himself to deal with the Song court. Although he knew that Celestial Master Zhang and the current emperor could turn against each other at any time, the Demon Celestial Master didn't care. After all, who in the underworld hasn't turned against each other?
It's fine if they don't turn against each other now. The future can be discussed later, and maybe he will be the one to turn against them first.
However, that would be after he killed the people in the underworld and seized their dynasty's fortune.
The Demon Celestial Master was well aware of his own limitations. He couldn't compete for the fortune of the human world, as the three religions were all waiting. Although he was on the side of Taoism, he also had his own thoughts. Since he couldn't compete, he might as well join forces with the Ming Dynasty to mess with the people below. What if he managed to grab a little fortune?
But Mahavairocana's abilities had exceeded his previous expectations. If he wanted to continue fighting, then he would have to...
"Forget it! I'll sacrifice some of my family fortune."
The Demon Celestial Master began to prepare, but his descending Heavenly Heart Illusionary Form had already begun to fade. He couldn't maintain it in the Vajra Realm for long.
As for Ksitigarbha and Avalokitesvara, they exclaimed in amazement at the transformations of Mahavairocana.
"Ten realms' great vows, ten realms' true forms are all complete. Few Buddhas have achieved this, and we can actually see it today. Even if we achieve Nirvana, we will have no regrets."
Although Mahavairocana was their opponent at this time, as Buddhist cultivators, being able to see this top-notch Buddhist Dharma supernatural power was a change that made them feel like they could die content.
Even top-notch Equable Enlightenment beings like Ksitigarbha and Avalokitesvara could only cultivate up to eight realms' true forms. The images of Arhats and Pratyekabuddhas were too difficult to cultivate.
And ordinary Buddhas could only cultivate eight realms' images.
Ksitigarbha's expression was longing, but he soon laughed heartily:
"If I achieve Nirvana this time, then I will not be in the six paths of reincarnation. If my vows are reborn, I can cultivate the Sravaka vehicle and attain the position of Arhat."
Avalokitesvara was shocked!
That's right, if Ksitigarbha was annihilated by Mahavairocana, his vows would not disappear. After a while, he would be revived and reborn as an ordinary person. After all, Ksitigarbha's attainments in the art of life and death even surpassed those of the Buddhas. If he cultivated the Arhat path, since all the hungry ghosts in the six paths of reincarnation had disappeared, then "Hell would be empty!"
With nine forms complete, when he attains Arhat, he can also become a Buddha!
"I've done something bad."
Avalokitesvara said that she had just thrown those hungry ghost Rakshasas into the Grass Paper world, which seemed to have ruined Ksitigarbha's good deeds. Ksitigarbha smiled, "It doesn't matter. In fact, if I don't achieve Nirvana and cultivate Arhat first, then attain Buddhahood, that would be the true Ten Realms Body. If I achieve Nirvana once, I will have regrets in my heart."
"But even if there are regrets today, I must give them up."
The gap in the six paths of reincarnation began to widen, and a white light figure without facial features appeared on those holy words. The fiery cross did not burn the Vajra Realm but was instead pushed back. This was intolerable to the Lord of the West.
Even Mahavairocana wanted to transform his power into Buddhist Dharma and integrate it into his river of vows.
This almost made this "Christ" laugh out loud.
Sure enough, unlike Ji Xiang's belated realization, Wu Zhang Vajra felt something was wrong the moment he absorbed that part of Christ's divine power. In an instant, his image suddenly transformed into Christ the Lord.
Just like the statues in those churches!
"!"
"What is this..." Wu Zhang Vajra couldn't even feel the power of Buddhist Dharma for a moment. Fortunately, he was one of the strongest Heavenly Hearts in the world, so the occupation of that image only lasted for an instant, even Ksitigarbha and Avalokitesvara couldn't observe it.
That white, faceless figure, that blank face, looked at Wu Zhang Vajra, who was also wearing white clothes.
【I AM WHO I AM.】
【I AM.】
The voice coming from the void caused the sea of vows in front of Wu Zhang Vajra to fluctuate and distort.
He is "He Who Is", which means that he unilaterally and single-handedly created everything in the universe, and is not created by anything else, not by other gods, people, or matter.
In that instant, Mahavairocana was also created by him.
He was assimilated, influenced, and had his characteristics. He could also become one of his true bodies.
These words echoed in Wu Zhang Vajra's mind at this time.
He suddenly covered his forehead, looking in shock at the luminous figure in white clothes in front of him, who was the same as himself.
【I EXIST, IN THE PAST; I EXIST, IN THE PRESENT; I EXIST, IN THE FUTURE.】
Christ was really going to give Mahavairocana a lesson. Even though he was in an extremely distant place, he could still interfere here, because this was the Vajra Realm, this was not the human world, there was no constraint of the 'fundamental Dao'.
【I WILL BE exceeds I AM.】
【I am your future form.】
The halo on this white luminous figure suddenly expanded, and trillions of living beings in the Vajra Realm were draped in white clothes.
He formed a mudra with his hands, which was the Five Dhyani Buddha mudra. He then changed the mudra, evolving each of the mudras that Wu Zhang Vajra had just performed, and reversing them.
Holy words appeared on the white luminous figure. He was like something condensed from these holy words, without substance.
"Above me!"
In that instant, Wu Zhang Vajra finally had such a thought in his heart.
The master of this Western magic, this white luminous figure in front of him, could actually influence him. This was like Heavenly Heart Mahayana influencing Heavenly Heart Small Vehicle, able to suppress it... And if he was suppressed, it meant... the other party's Heavenly Heart power was far stronger than his own!
"That's how monotheism is."
Ji Xiang thought to himself, how many people worship you, and how many people worship him? He doesn't allow other gods to exist, he is the supreme one, so naturally he is stronger than you. After all, even the esoteric sect doesn't dare to say that you, Mahavairocana, are the true Buddha, but can only say that you are another side of the Buddha. To discuss the supremacy of Buddhist Dharma, you still need to pretend that there is a primordial Buddha.
If compared, then Christ is equivalent to half a primordial Buddha.
The changes that were happening in the Vajra Realm now, simply put... if they were not stopped, this place would become the "Christ's spirit world".
Boom! Wu Zhang Vajra's anger erupted. He was truly furious:
"Above me?"
"But this is a place where Buddhist Dharma has reached, I am the Great Buddha, the Tathagata, the unhindered Vajra, the wisdom body of the Buddha, the blazing sun, and you have no true body, only relying on some insignificant words, you want to turn me into your past, to be assimilated by you?"
"You... have angered me. When the Buddha is greatly angered, he will abandon the Vajra body and transform into a Wisdom King!"
Behind Wu Zhang Vajra, a new image appeared.
Beyond the ten realms, the eleventh form.
Acala form, the king of Wisdom Kings, the wrathful body of Mahavairocana!
Wu Zhang Vajra's eyes looked at Ji Xiang below. The future that Ji Xiang had evolved was about to be completed, and the white figure in front of him was just blocking him from swallowing the North Pole True Man, seemingly not for any benefit.
He was simply targeting himself.
Wu Zhang Vajra raised his hand, and the gigantic Acala also raised that star-like hand, all the Buddhist Dharmas transforming into a halo,
"Unhindered, all wishes fulfilled!"
The great halo destroyed all changes, and the great power of Heavenly Heart was displayed, returning all changes in the Vajra Realm to their original state!
The Vajra Realm was reset, and all the "assimilation" done by the white figure disappeared, wiped out by the halo in Acala's palm, as if it had never been there.
Then, in the next moment, the six paths of reincarnation were seized by Acala. His five fingers pressed down on the five wheels of transmigration, and finally, his palm transformed into a mountain of the mind, blocking Ksitigarbha in the sea of consciousness, preventing him from crossing the six paths of reincarnation into the Vajra Realm.
One hand pressed down on the six paths of reincarnation, one foot stepped on Mount Potalaka, and the other hand clenched all of Christ's Dharma and fire, not allowing him to come out.
"Sun En! You're the only one left! Do you have any other abilities? Acala still has one foot to deal with you."
Wu Zhang Vajra's anger transformed into substance, and the trillions of living beings' illusory forms in the Vajra Realm became ferocious and hideous. The entire Vajra Realm became a huge prison.
But Wu Zhang Vajra's condition was not good either.
He himself had not descended with his true body, but had borrowed the body of a Buddha Ghost. The Buddha Ghost had not yet reached the level of Equable Enlightenment Bodhisattva, so it was difficult to withstand the Heavenly Heart battle. Now, this body had reached the verge of collapse.
He had even used Acala. If he wasn't in the Vajra Realm, he would have been beaten back to his original form immediately, his flesh would have turned into dust, and his divine consciousness would have begun to disintegrate.
The Demon Celestial Master did not speak, but was chanting some strange incantations. Wu Zhang Vajra only made a polite remark asking the Demon Celestial Master to take action. In fact, Acala's big foot had already reached the Demon Celestial Master's head.
"Five Dhyani Buddhas, capture the North Pole."
"It ends here."
Wu Zhang Vajra still had some thoughts in his heart, because until now, he should have been sure of victory.
And the Impure Vajra and the others showed no signs of breaking their promise.
Perhaps this time, he could really gain great benefits. The Primordial Divine Position was right in front of him. No matter what they wanted him to do afterwards, that would be a matter for later. As long as he could obtain the Primordial Divine Position now, he would spare no expense.
"Almost there."
Ji Xiang suddenly uttered strange words at this time. In Wu Zhang Vajra's eyes, Ji Xiang still maintained a "false" state. Once the false shattered, Ji Xiang himself would immediately disappear from the world.
Almost there, does that mean that the future has been guided well?
"Foolish, in front of Heavenly Heart, what future is there to talk about. Although the human world is a place of Dao, I am only modifying the future of one person, it will not have any impact."
Wu Zhang Vajra was preparing to make Ji Xiang completely collapse and stop resisting, but in the next moment, he saw Immortal Dao soul shadows appearing on Ji Xiang one after another.
Hundreds of Han Dynasty Immortal Souls possessed Ji Xiang, driven by the Demon King.
A vast and majestic force permeated the Vajra Realm. Ji Xiang had not achieved Heavenly Heart, nor did he have the supernatural powers of the Heavenly Heart level, but at this time, he was approaching it in terms of Dharma power.
If it wasn't for the false state, it would not be possible to receive these Immortal Souls on his body, because the body and spirit would be stretched to the point of explosion. There could not be a body that could accommodate so many Immortal Souls, even if he was a body becoming a saint.
Wu Zhang Vajra was expressionless about this. The Buddha's light of the Five Dhyani Buddhas enveloped down. In his eyes, even if Ji Xiang reached the Immortal Dao level that could fight Heavenly Heart, if he was not in the Heavenly Heart realm himself, then it was useless.
"If you want the Primordial Divine Position, then come and take it."
Ji Xiang maintained the state of the false world. After the Immortal Souls possessed him, in front of Wu Zhang Vajra, he took out an Immortal Diagram.
The True Spirit Rank Chart opened, transforming into a firmament, driven by a power comparable to the Heavenly Heart level. The gods inside seemed to want to jump out of the scroll. Gradually, the True Spirit Rank Chart merged with the false world. Seeing this, Wu Zhang Vajra told the Five Dhyani Buddhas to stop.
"What kind of trick is this? I thought you should use the Tai Xu Treasure Light."
"What's wrong, you don't dare to use it, afraid that the Treasure Light will be turned into my thing? Heavenly Heart reverses cause and effect. If the Treasure Light falls into my hands, you will definitely lose, so you don't use it?"
"If you don't use the Tai Xu Treasure Light, you have no chance of winning, no matter what you take out, the future is already destined. You are not Heavenly Heart, destined not to be able to resist Heavenly Heart."
【Now, he is Heavenly Heart.】
【Only for a moment.】
A voice in the dark suddenly entered Wu Zhang Vajra's heart, causing his expression to change in shock. This was the second time that a situation had occurred where he could be forced to have a mental dialogue!
"Who?"
He asked Ji Xiang, but he was not asking Ji Xiang himself.
But he saw a form and spirit walking out of the True Spirit Rank Chart, possessing Ji Xiang.
Only the false world could bear this form and spirit.
On Ji Xiang's body, the faces of several Celestial Venerables manifested, changed, and finally settled on a Celestial Venerable that he had never met before, but the image of this Celestial Venerable was often seen by the world.
"You are... what kind of person?"
Wu Zhang Vajra looked at the Celestial Venerable in front of him. He felt familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
And that Celestial Venerable made a sword gesture with his fingers, but did not strike out, but instead uttered a passage of ancient syllables.
【Zhongshan Divine Incantation.】
The great Brahma's hidden language, the immeasurable sound, its incantation could dispel everything, ward off everything, and change everything.
Wu Zhang Vajra fell into a trance in an instant.
The forms of the Buddhas faded away, the time in the Vajra Realm was fixed, and that false world became real, and the future was also fixed.
Wu Zhang Vajra also turned back into Mahavairocana. Only then did he realize that this divine incantation was not acting on that Celestial Venerable, nor on the North Pole or anyone else, but on him!
At this moment, he... had lost the supernatural power of Heavenly Heart! As long as that divine incantation was not eliminated, reversing cause and effect could not be used!
"You..."
Mahavairocana was both shocked and angry, but that Celestial Venerable disappeared in the next moment, transforming into a Ghost-Slaying General with more than a dozen arms. His eyes also recovered, Ji Xiang's consciousness was clear, and he dominated this body.
Those dozen arms shattered all Dharmas, and within this only remaining moment, carrying the Heavenly Heart power, causing the human world to tremble, like a wild wind roaring thunder, he smashed towards Mahavairocana!
