Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad - Chapter 479: Tathagata Buddha "Resolves the Fight"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Donghua looked up to the sky and laughed, his laughter full of disdain and ridicule:"It is really sad and lamentable that the Taoist heaven has now fallen to the point where it has to ask for help from the Buddhists. Where is the face of the Taoist sect?"

After saying this, Emperor Donghua looked directly at the Buddha with a sharp gaze and said coldly:"Tathagata, since you have already escaped from the mortal world, you are no longer the Taoist Duobao, but the Buddha in the West."

"As a monk, why don't you meditate and cultivate yourself in Lingshan Mountain in the West, but come to the Heavenly Palace to meddle in other people's affairs?"

"Come and cheer for the Jade Emperor and charge into battle?"

"What great benefit did the Jade Emperor promise you that would make you disregard your status and meditate instead of getting involved in this dispute?"

Emperor Donghua spoke sharply and pressed forward step by step:"Hehehe, Tathagata."

"No matter what the Jade Emperor gives you, I, Emperor Donghua, will give you double the benefits, as long as you don't interfere in this matter, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Tathagata Buddha shook his head slightly, his expression solemn and peaceful, his eyes filled with endless compassion.

"Alas, your words are wrong, there is no benefit in them."

"It's just that as a monk, I am compassionate and can't bear to see the people of the three realms suffer such a disaster and the lives of all living beings are destroyed."

At this point, the originally peaceful face of Tathagata Buddha suddenly changed, revealing the angry look of a diamond. The Buddha light around him burned like a blazing flame, illuminating the surroundings, and a great righteous spirit rose up to the sky, reaching the sky.

The Tathagata Buddha rebuked him sternly:"Emperor, you rule over the three islands, the ten continents, and all the scattered immortals overseas. You should assist the destiny, protect the three realms, and enjoy infinite merits."

"You must know that if a thought of anger arises, you will be reborn in the cycle of reincarnation for eternity."

The Buddha spoke earnestly, each word was a pearl, as if to awaken the conscience in Emperor Donghua's heart:"Yes, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha right away."

"If the Emperor can wake up now and put down the butcher knife, there is still hope for a turnaround."

"Don't be stubborn and ruin your future. By then, it will be too late to regret!"

Emperor Donghua looked directly at the Buddha with a gaze as sharp as a torch, and rebuked him with a voice as loud as thunder:

"Tathagata! You are only a younger Buddha. How can you know the glory of me when I ruled the ancient world?"

"In the past, the Japanese emperor ruled the wilderness, established the immortal laws, and opened the heavenly court, making an unprecedented contribution to the order of the world."

"At that time, you were still sleeping in the chaos, and had not yet been born."

"Hahaha!"

Emperor Donghua held the "dragon head cane" that symbolized the authority of the Emperor of Heaven in his hand and laughed loudly, his laughter was full of pride and unwillingness:"In terms of seniority, I have existed since the beginning of chaos. I have witnessed the vicissitudes of life and the rise and fall of all things in this world, and have gone through countless eons."

"The Jade Emperor has only experienced 1,750 tribulations, which is only over 200 million years. Compared to me, it is just a blink of an eye."

"What virtue and ability does he have to rule over all living beings in the three realms and enjoy this infinite avenue?"

"In terms of background, I inherited the will of the Eastern King and am the leader of the male immortals. I should be in charge of the records of all the immortals in the prehistoric world and command all the immortals and gods in the heavens."

"The Jade Emperor is just a chaotic stone. He was enlightened by the Taoist master by chance and was able to attain the Tao. How can he be compared with me?"

"Compare your footing and qualifications with me."

"Is he worthy?"

"That's how it should be!"

"The Lingxiao throne was originally my seat, and the words 'Donghua' should have been hanging high above the Lingxiao Palace."

"Amitabha……"

Upon hearing this, Tathagata Buddha clasped his hands together, sighed slightly, and the Buddha's light around him became softer, as if it could calm all disputes in the world.

"In today's world, the Jade Emperor accepts the will of heaven and determines the fate of the world. This is the common wish of all living beings."

"This is an irreversible trend."

"If the Emperor goes against the trend, he may destroy billions of years of practice and fall into reincarnation again. By then, it will be too late to regret."

"I hope the Emperor will think deeply about this."

"When I founded the Great Immortal Court and established the Immortal Laws, how did I get the name of Jade Emperor?"

"Destiny?"

"How can there be any talk of destiny in front of me!"

"I am the destiny!"

"Tathagata, this is a matter of the heavens, an internal matter of the Dao sect."

"Since you are no longer a Taoist monk, but the Tathagata Buddha of the West, then don't try to meddle in other people's business!"

The Tathagata Buddha closed his eyes slightly, his expression was calm and peaceful, and he said:"Good! Good! The Emperor has great magical powers and boundless magic power, but he is tightly bound by the obsession of the past and cannot extricate himself."

"That fantasy was not what the Emperor truly wished for. It was just a false obsession, like a dream bubble that will burst at the slightest touch."

"Emperor, you are no longer the Duke of Dong. Don't let this obsession blind you anymore."

Having said this, Tathagata Buddha paused for a moment and continued:"Now, just because of the emperor's anger, the three realms have encountered such a monstrous disaster."

"All living things suffer because of this obsession and conflict."

“However, in times of disaster, someone will eventually be needed to serve as a raft to lead sentient beings out of the sea of ​​suffering and save all sentient beings!”

"I never like fighting, but I like to end fights! Peace is the most precious thing."

"I am willing to help the two families resolve this dispute, and save the three realms from further killing, so that the world can be peaceful and harmonious again."

"What does the Emperor think?"

Buddha Tathagata looked at Emperor Donghua sincerely, waiting for his response.

Looking back to the past, the Buddha subdued the Peacock King in the Snow Mountain and established his great reputation.

The peacock Kong Xuan had great magical powers. When the five-colored divine light came out, everything within the five elements was swept away. However, he was still subdued by the Buddha with his great magical powers.

Later, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wanted to move into the underworld to save all living beings.

Unexpectedly, the ancestor of the Styx appeared out of nowhere and came out to stop them.

The Tathagata Buddha appeared again, and with the force of thunder and lightning, he displayed the supreme Buddhist Dharma and suppressed the ancestor of the Styx.

Afterwards, the Buddha Tathagata used his supreme Buddhist teachings to recruit the Asuras under his command as the guardian army of Lingshan.

There are eight divisions of heaven and dragon in Lingshan Buddhism: the first is the heavenly beings, the second is the dragon beings, the third is the Yaksha, the fourth is the Gandharva, and the fifth is the "Asura"...

Since then, the "Asuras" have appeared in Lingshan's Tianlongbabu Army, and Lingshan's strength has been further improved.

Emperor Donghua actually has some understanding of Tathagata Buddha. He knows very well that Tathagata Buddha's Buddhist power is unfathomable and his supernatural powers are boundless.

Although Emperor Donghua was resentful of him, he couldn't help but be a little wary of him.

Otherwise, with the arrogance of Emperor Donghua, he would not have wasted so much time talking to Buddha Tathagata, but would have drawn his sword and attacked him directly.

At this moment, upon hearing Tathagata Buddha mention the method of "resolving a fight", Emperor Donghua frowned slightly, stared at Tathagata Buddha with lightning-like eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke in a deep voice:

The Buddha smiled slightly and stretched out his hand.

The palm looks ordinary, but it seems to contain endless mysteries, as if the vast universe is contained in it, with twinkling stars and magnificent mountains and rivers.

The Tathagata Buddha smiled and said:

"Emperor, I want to make a bet with you."

"When the time comes, there will be no need to resort to fighting. I will retreat immediately and will not stop you even a step."

"If you can't fly out of the palm, I hope you can return to the Immortal Mountain of Fangzhang, let go of your obsession, and practice with all your heart. Don't be trapped by this angry thought anymore. How do you think?"

Say it.

The Buddha Tathagata had a compassionate look on his face, with Buddha's light flowing in his eyes. He looked at Emperor Donghua, waiting for his decision.

Emperor Donghua raised his sword-like eyebrows and said coldly:

"Tathagata, do you think I am the ignorant wild monkey in the mountains?"

"Your trick of luring people into a trap may work for others, but can you fool me?"

Emperor Donghua stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by immortal aura, showing his majesty.

Back then, Zhen Yuanzi and Dong Wanggong were from almost the same era.

Dong Wanggong also sat and discussed Taoism with Zhen Yuanzi and invited Zhen Yuanzi to join the Honghuang Immortal Alliance.

Dong Wanggong knew very well that Zhen Yuanzi had great supernatural powers and could evolve time and space, yin and yang, and hold the five elements in his hands.

There is a small world within his sleeve, which is called the "universe in the sleeve" technique.

And now, the technique of "Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm" displayed by Tathagata Buddha is similar to the technique of "The Universe in the Sleeve" performed by Zhen Yuanzi.

How could Emperor Donghua not know this technique?In his eyes, this is just the "world in the sleeve" in a different form.

"This Tathagata, as a monk, is so dishonest that he actually set up a trap here to lure you into a trap and try to deceive me!"

Emperor Donghua snorted inwardly.

He nodded slightly, clasped his hands together and said:"The Emperor is indeed knowledgeable and experienced. It was this poor monk who made a mistake."

"I originally wanted to resolve the dispute with this peaceful method, but I didn't expect to be discovered by the Emperor."

"It's just that I don't like fighting. I have always been compassionate and want to use Buddhism to save all living beings and turn hostility into friendship. But today, it seems that I have to compete with the Emperor."

"Tathagata..."

Although Tathagata Buddha has descended the peacock and suppressed the Styx over the years and has made great achievements, some of the older generation of prehistoric figures are no match for him and he is famous in the three realms.

But in Dong Wanggong's memory, he had fought with both Donghuang Taiyi who held the Chaos Bell and Dijun who held the River Map and Luoshu.

Back then, when Dong Wanggong dominated the ancient world, Duobao Taoist was still practicing and growing in silence somewhere. He was just a young man.

In this world, there is no absolute strength or weakness.

Two people can fight, but they still can't win. You won't know until you fight.

If we say that the battle between Emperor Donghua and Emperor Zhenwu is the battle between "Eastern Wood Lord" and "Northern Water Emperor".

At this moment, "Eastern Wood God" and "Western Buddha" are engaged in an earth-shaking contest.

One was once the Great Emperor of Heaven in the ancient times, and now is the chief of the Taoist male immortals. He is in charge of the three islands and ten continents, is the chief of the overseas immortals, and is known as the number one immortal in the world of mist and clouds.

One of them was once the chief disciple of Jiejiao, and now he is the helmsman of Lingshan in the West, the leader of Buddhism, and the ruler of Xi Niu Hezhou.

He is the ancestor of Western Buddhism.

This battle is of extraordinary significance.

It is not only a battle between the Emperor of Heaven, but also a battle between the West and the East, and between Buddhism and Taoism.

Whether Western Buddhism can spread to the East depends on this battle!

At this time, Emperor Donghua had probably guessed "what benefits the Jade Emperor promised to the Western Lingshan", which was why he made the Western Buddha Tathagata work so hard.

Western religions have always liked to dig up the roots of Taoism, and their catchphrase is:"You and I have a destiny in the West."

I think the Jade Emperor promised some benefits to the Taoist sect and gave them to the Western Sacred Mountain, either in the form of people or incense and land.

This battle, like a weight on a scale, determined the fate of the spread of Buddhism to the East. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Buddhism and a crucial battle for Taoism to defend its faith.

Success or failure, victory or defeat depends only on today.

Emperor Donghua stood in the void with an arrogant posture and purple air lingering around him. He exuded an extraordinary and world-looking temperament, highlighting his noble status as the incarnation of the innate yang energy of the primitive world.

After all, he was once the Great Emperor of Heaven and the leader of the Great Immortal Alliance.

Emperor Donghua was not afraid at all. He showed a proud smile on his face and said proudly:

"Tathagata, Buddha, is originally the Tao."

"The Daoist school came first, and then the Buddhist school."

"Tathagata, although you are the Buddha of the West, you are still a junior in front of me, so I will let you make the first move."

Upon hearing this, Tathagata Buddha also understood the intention of Emperor Donghua, nodded slightly, and chanted softly:"Amitabha……"

Before the voice fell, Tathagata Buddha was no longer humble, and the Buddha's light around his body suddenly became brighter, like the blazing sun in the sky, shining on all directions.

The Buddha's light was so bright and dazzling that it illuminated the surrounding space with golden color, as if one was in the pure land of Buddha.

"Emperor, I am about to make a move."

A light flashed in the palm of Tathagata Buddha's palm, and a soft but powerful Buddha light spread out like ripples.

Wherever the Buddha's light passed, the space seemed to be frozen, not moving at all, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

A golden light emerged from the palm of Tathagata Buddha.

The "卍" symbol shines brightly, like the door to the Buddhist kingdom slowly opening, containing endless Buddhist power.

This is the unique magical power of Tathagata Buddha - "Tathagata Palm"!At this moment.

The golden palm print of "Tathagata Palm" instantly enlarged, becoming tens of thousands of feet in size, like a giant golden mountain spanning the sky and the earth, blocking out the sky and the sun, as if it would cover the entire heaven.

It brought with it supreme Buddha's power, and wherever it passed, the space that was originally fixed by the Buddha's light was shattered, making a series of "cracking" sounds, as if the heaven and earth were groaning in pain.

This palm strike seemed slow, but it actually contained the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. It had already locked onto Emperor Donghua, and every movement carried an endless sense of oppression.

This is the first palm of the Tathagata Palm—"The Buddha's Light Appears for the First Time!"

In an instant, the Buddha's light was like a surging tide, filling the sky and earth. Wherever it went, the void trembled and the rules were disrupted.

Emperor Donghua stood on the Chaos Green Lotus Dharma Image, with white hair and a youthful face, surrounded by purple air, and a tall and straight figure like a mountain. He did not move at all, and his eyes revealed a firm look, even though the space cracks brought by the golden palm print whizzed past him.

The Buddha Tathagata is naturally strong, but the current Emperor Donghua is not weak either.

Although Emperor Donghua has lost the destiny of being the Emperor of Heaven, he is still the embodiment of the innate yang energy of the ancient world.

His body is flowing with innate yang blood, which is one of the purest and most powerful forces in the world, and the root force for the growth of all things and the operation of the world.

If we say that Tathagata Buddha is the leader of Buddhism today, he is the spiritual pillar of all Buddhists and is leading Buddhism towards prosperity.

The current Emperor Donghua is the "chief of the Taoist male immortals in the three realms" and the role model and belief of the Taoist male immortals.

in front of you.

This is not only a battle between the Emperor of Heaven, but also a battle between Buddhism and Taoism. It is a life-and-death contest concerning faith and destiny.

Buddhism and Taoism have different philosophies and methods of practice. This struggle concerns the future structure of the three realms and the faith and belonging of countless lives.

He, Emperor Donghua, is the leader of the Eastern Taoism and the chief male immortal in the world.

His battle with the Jade Emperor for the heavenly realm was, after all, an internal struggle within Taoism.

In order to gain power over the three realms, the Jade Emperor may invite a wolf into the house and do things that are detrimental to the interests of the Eastern Taoism.

But he, Emperor Donghua, is not the Jade Emperor after all.

Facing the Buddha who came from the West.

We should fight for the Eastern Taoist sect!
