Book 07 Chapter 071: Vairocana

The Shorter Sukhvatvyha Stra allowed Zhengfa Ming to comprehend even more than the Great Compa.s.sion Mantra. The light he radiated brightened, and Buddhist chanting rang out around him. He now gave off a grand religious air.

The vast Buddhist light seemed like it would leak out of the ritual array.

Siddhrthas expression changed as he waved his hand.

Boom!

Siddhrtha blocked all the Buddhist aura.

Hey?! Siddhrthas expression changed again as he plucked something out of the air.

Whoos.h.!.+

A Buddhist prayer bead with an eye on it appeared in his palm, looking at the surroundings.

This is? Gu Hai asked in confusion.

Haha! This place is being monitored by someone using the Buddhist Daos means, Siddhrtha said with a frown.

Monitored? Gu Hais face sank as he extended his hand to pick up the Buddhist prayer bead in Siddhrthas hand.

It should be someone with remarkable accomplishments in the Buddhist Dao. Furthermore, the monitoring has not been long; there are not many memories stored in it, Siddhrtha said seriously.

It should be here for Zhengfa Ming, Gu Hai said.

Oh?

Zhengfa Ming had reincarnated here a few times but could never gain enlightenment. Although the various major sects were interested because he had the Dao Devouring Physique, they did not pay that much attention to him, as he never lived beyond one hundred every reincarnation. However, this time is different. The Spirit Mountain Holy Land and Southern Seas Purple Bamboo Forest of this world are extremely interested in him this time, Gu Hai said with a frown.

The Southern Seas Purple Bamboo Forest? Siddhrthas face sank.

Whats wrong?

On Earth, the Southern Seas Purple Bamboo Forest was Bodhisattva Guanyins ritual grounds. Bodhisattva Guanyin was a reincarnation of a strand of Zhengfa Mings consciousness. Unfortunately, it is already gone. To think one appeared in this world too. Haha! They have hostile intentions, Siddhrtha said seriously.

Oh?

Siddhrtha looked at Gu Hai. Im not clear about the situation in your world, and I do not plan on understanding it. Although Master reincarnated in your immortal firmament, this place is too dangerous. Ill bring him back to our immortal firmament and help him restore his memories.

You can do that. However, since he came from the Sas Immortal Firmament, why did he reincarnate here? Oh, thats right. We heard a bodhisattva say the Buddhist Dao of the Six Paths Immortal Firmament all come from an image called the Amityus Buddha. We suspect he is the Amityus Buddhas reincarnation, Gu Hai said.

Siddhrtha nodded. That is right!

Oh?

Our immortal firmaments Buddhist Dao also came from the Amitbha Buddha. He established Paradise and is the Buddhist Daos n.o.blest buddha. When he died later, Paradise crumbled. Actually, only I knew he had gone missing back then. I once asked Master where he was going. He said there was a new world that needed him to spread the Buddhist Dao and save the ma.s.ses, Siddhrtha said seriously.

A new world? The Amitbha Buddha discovered the Six Paths Immortal Firmament back then? Gu Hai asked.

It should be right then. Furthermore, if my guess was right, he should have entered the void and found the Six Paths Immortal Firmament in the void. Then he used a powerful technique to send the Buddhist Dao here. Unfortunately, he had reached his limit when he arrived in the Six Paths Immortal Firmament. The void had drained him. He only reincarnated here because the Buddhists of the two immortal firmaments continuously chanted his name, Siddhrtha said.

Aside from our method, it is indeed difficult to travel between the two immortal firmaments, Gu Hai sighed.

Indeed. From your place, it is impossible for the two immortal firmaments to contact each other. It is quite mysterious, Siddhrtha lamented.

Thats not right!

Huh?

Sa already discovered this place, and his consciousness has invaded in the past. However, our worlds f.u.xi blocked him. Gu Hais expression changed.

What? Siddhrthas expression suddenly changed.

Gu Hai told Siddhrtha everything he knew about what happened eight hundred thousand years ago.

Siddhrthas pupils constricted. I understand now. I understand now! No wonder Sa is behaving so strangely on Earth!

Is this information useful to you? Gu Hai asked.

Haha! It is more than useful. Many thanks for your reminder. Otherwise, we might not even realize that a great disaster is approaching! The expression in Siddhrthas eyes changed continuously.

Since Zhengfa Ming is the Amitbha Buddhas reincarnation, he should be extremely important to both you and us. Remaining in this place is indeed unsafe. If not for you, that Buddhist prayer bead would have exposed his location today. You can bring him back, but you know the rules of our pa.s.sageway. It is an exchange, and the twos physical bodies cannot differ too much. Otherwise, Zhengfa Ming cannot endure it. Gu Hai shook his head.

Its not a problem. I have a Golden Light Kya. Get him to put it on later. It can withstand the pressure of the pa.s.sageway. Many thanks for your generosity. Ill send a helper later; he will help you wholeheartedly. Dont worry, Siddhrtha said gravely.

Alright! Gu Hai nodded.

Siddhrtha took out a kya and pa.s.sed it to Gu Hai. Then he stepped into the pa.s.sageway between the two immortal firmaments while holding his palms together.

Whoos.h.!.+

In the blink of an eye, Siddhrtha went back.

Siddhrtha returned to send another person over to serve as an exchange between the two immortal firmaments. Just like when the Severed Sects Sect Master Heavenly Access came over, they needed to send one person over to use the pa.s.sageway. That time, Gu Hai sent Long Shenwu over, allowing the pa.s.sageway to be used again.

Gu Hai waited patiently. The boundless Buddhist chanting, Buddhist light, and Buddhist aura quickly withdrew into Zhengfa Mings body. Zhengfa Ming seemed to have comprehended the Shorter Sukhvatvyha Stra.

Just then, a beam of golden light suddenly shot out of the pa.s.sageway between the two immortal firmaments.

Buzz!

A bright golden light illuminated the surroundings.

Gu Hai turned his head and saw a man radiating golden light stroll out of the pa.s.sageway.

This man looked somewhat similar to Siddhrtha, but Siddhrtha was more withdrawn. This man radiated sharpness, an aloof might. Even Gu Hai felt his heart sink.

The Major Leiyin Temples Vairocana? Gu Hai said in shock, raising his eyebrows.

[TL Note: Vairocana is seen as an aspect, or incarnation, of the Gautama Buddha. Note that the Siddhrtha Buddha is another name for the Gautama Buddha. Before becoming a buddha, he was a prince called Siddhrtha Gautama. Here is the Wikipedia entry on Vairocana: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vairocana.]

Back in Earths immortal realm, the western Major Leiyin Temples Lord Gautama Buddha, the Vairocana who trapped Sun Wukong under Five Fingers Mountain, was among the peak experts.

On orders of my true body, Siddhrtha Buddha, Vairocana is here to a.s.sist Mister Gu! Vairocana bowed respectfully to Gu Hai.

Oh? The Siddhrtha Buddha sent you here? You are a buddha created by Siddhrtha? Like Laozis breath becoming the Three Pure Ones? Gu Hai asked curiously.

The Siddhrtha Buddha is the master of all Buddhism, the Lord Buddha of the Sah. I am the Siddhrtha Buddhas dharmic incarnation, also known as the Mahvairocana Buddha. I manage Sah for the Siddhrtha Buddha. You can consider me a buddha that the Siddhrtha Buddha created, Vairocana said with a deep bow.

Greetings, Vairocana Buddha. I will have to trouble Vairocana Buddha after this. Gu Hai felt happy.

Mister Gu, theres no need to be so polite. My true body has instructed me to a.s.sist you with everything I have. I also have to thank you for helping my true body find the Amitbha Buddha, the origin of Buddhism! Vairocana said gravely.

Excellent! With your a.s.sistance, my Han Imperial Dynasty will be like a tiger with wings! Gu Hai said, joy flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.

Vairocana nodded. Then he turned his head to Zhengfa Ming.

Buzz!

Zhengfa Ming withdrew his aura as he opened his eyes. Buddhist light came out of his eyes, giving the feeling of immeasurable wisdom.

Siddhrtha Buddhas dharmic incarnation Vairocana greets Amitbha Buddha! Vairocana bowed.

Oh? Zhengfa Ming felt slightly startled.

Zhengfa Ming, I gave it some thought. The Spirit Mountain Holy Land and the Southern Seas Purple Bamboo Forest are looking for you. This place is extremely dangerous. I would like to leave you with Siddhrtha. He will help you regain your lost memories and recover. It will be safe there, Gu Hai said gravely.

Zhengfa Ming looked at Gu Hai and nodded. Mister Gu, I will listen to you.

Thats good. Please put on this kya and step into this pa.s.sageway. You will see Siddhrtha on the other side. Gu Hai handed over the kya.

Alright! Zhengfa Ming nodded as he threw the kya over himself.

Buzz!

The kya gave off a golden light that entered Zhengfa Mings body.

Please! Gu Hai invited.

Zhengfa Ming nodded and ambled to the pa.s.sageway between the two immortal firmaments. Before he stepped into it, he suddenly paused.

I have something I need to tell Mister Gu first! Zhengfa Ming said.

Oh? Gu Hai looked at Zhengfa Ming, puzzled.

Help me thank my master, Ensnaring Performance! Zhengfa Ming said gravely.

Dont worry. I will tell him. Gu Hai nodded.

Also, perhaps everyone misunderstood Master Ensnaring Performance. His songs are not harsh to hear, Zhengfa Ming said with a frown.

Oh? Gu Hai said with faint confusion.

He should have accidentally obtained the origin of the music Daos laws, Zhengfa Ming explained.

The origin of the music Daos laws? Gu Hai echoed in confusion.

Yes. You find his singing terrible, but it is not truly terrible, just that ordinary people cannot endure it. If you can endure it, you will find that his singing is the most moving sound in the world once it pa.s.ses a certain point. Those who listen to it will gain the blessings of the laws, a baptism of the souls, Zhengfa Ming explained.

Gu Hai felt slightly startled. Is that true?

Zhengfa Ming nodded once before stepping into the pa.s.sageway. After making sure Zhengfa Ming had arrived at the Sas Immortal Firmament, Gu Hai waved his hand and closed the pa.s.sageway between the two worlds.

The laws origin? Gu Hai frowned slightly.

Although he felt very bewildered, he suppressed his doubts and looked at Vairocana.

Vairocana Buddha, Ill trouble you to stay in Borderless Heavenly Capital after this. My Han Imperial Dynasty will soon clash with the Spirit Mountain Holy Land and might be in great danger. I need you to act when they least expect it, Gu Hai said gravely.

The Vairocana Buddhas aura immediately withdrew. He turned into an ordinary, burly man in the blink of an eye.

I will listen to all of Mister Gus arrangements! Vairocana nodded.

Many thanks, Gu Hai said gratefully.

Vairocana pressed his palms together and smiled.

Gu Hai extended his hand and waved.

Boom!

The valleys ritual array suddenly scattered.

The moment it scattered, Bodhisattva Lian Sheng rushed over.

Imperial Emperor Gu, was that the Amityus Buddha earlier? Where is he? Bodhisattva Lian Sheng asked anxiously.

However, Zhengfa Ming was nowhere to be seen in the surroundings, only an additional burly man wearing golden monk robes.
