Divine Brilliance

Correlating with Kong Rui’s prediction of the Heaven Phenomenon, Zhang Huai’s judgement and prediction of the Qin Emperor Tomb became worse and worse.

“Speaking of which, Jingyin predicts that the Qin Emperor will be revived?”

“Future Buddha thinks too highly of disciple. I am unable to predict much about the Qin Tomb!”

Jingyin shook his head and said, “This Qin Emperor tomb can suppress End Realm Saint Venerables, much less me? The future has many branches and I can only see a portion of them. However, I indeed saw signs of disaster. I paid attention to whether or not there is anything the Buddhist Faction needs here. Also, we should prepare to retreat as a precaution.”

Suppress End Realm?

Zong Shou remained silent. The Qin Emperor Tomb actually had such abilities?

He was in deep thought and after a while did he open his mouth, “If Qin Emperor revives, how are the two of you going to suppress him?”

“Revival of the Qin Emperor, even if he isn’t someone on the level of End Realm Saint Venerables, the two of us have limited strength, so how would we suppress him? Since it is from the corpse and vengeful power, naturally there is a way to counter it. The Buddhist Faction can only try to weaken it. If Qin Emperor really revives, someone else will have to be the one worrying about it.”

Guan Zizai smiled, “The few End Realm Saint Venerables might not react now, but they are all in the darkness, lying in wait.”

It made sense to Zong Shou. This was a huge calamity of the Cloud World, not only would Zhu Zi and Qingxuan pay attention, but the Common People’s Path and Sword Sect would also be wary of it.

Logically speaking, Yinyu’s actions were a huge problem for the few End Realm Saint Venerables.

However, why didn’t any of them stop him?

Zhu Zi and Qingxuan allowed it to happen, maybe because of the 12 Copper Men, or maybe they had other plans and were searching for a way to turn defeat into victory.

So, what was going on with the Common People’s Path? Did they not try to stop due to the Confucian Faction and Taoist Faction restriction?

Or was it because Xi Zi had entered the tomb in the past.

Before coming, he really should have discussed with his Master Xuanshuang.

Just as he was in deep thought, Jingyin shot out a black dot which was so dark it could twist light the size of a rice grain. Instantly, it was 3,000 feet out.

Unlimited Beginning and End ability?

Right away, Zong Shou recognized that it had a special connection to his dharma.

At the start, after he had that night of adventures with Jingyin, the two of them had a special spiritual connection.

Such that his Black and White Dharma could also be projected into her soul, and she could also use the Unlimited Beginning and End ability.

His brow rose up. As expected, this Jingyin Buddha was that Jingyin from before.

As expected, a moment later, when the black light exploded out, the corpse and vengeful power around were swallowed up. The entire 20-mile radius was swallowed. An instant later, there was a blistering, white light. It was like a sun which shone on this small world.

When the white light faded, the entire 60-mile region was totally cleansed.

However, Jingyin was sweating from her head.

“To remove evil, the Buddhist Faction uses the power of the Dari Buddha Venerable. Within a day, we should be able to gather 108 Luohan monks. If they chant the Vairocana Scripture and the Dari World Shining Scripture, we can seal and suppress the evil and vengeful energy here for 365 days. The day he revives would be pushed back by 100 years. However, there are too many changes to this method and it might not work. There are 10 million troops in the tomb, thousands of corpse generals. They are all huge threats.”

When she said that, she looked at Zong Shou with both anticipation as well as a weird expression.

“However, the best cleansing method is the Unlimited Beginning and End ability! To use it, one can shorten the time needed to 49 days, even being able to suppress those soldiers. If the Diamond Body appears, that would be the best.”

“Diamond Body?”

Zong Shou frowned, but surprisingly, he didn’t object.

The so-called Buddhist Faction Diamond Body was gathered by Wish Power. In the past, during Cangling World, he had displayed it once.

However, to form the Diamond Body, he himself had to desire to do so.

“But can one really form the Buddhist Body within the Cloud World?”

As they said, desperate times called for desperate measures; he had no other choice now.

Although his personality was a little twisted, he wouldn’t really look at the world getting wiped out just because of his little opinion, causing the Cloud World to end up in an irrecoverable position.

He had enough strength, but if he didn’t use it just because of his selfishness, then how different would he be compared to the Great Shang Yuanchen Emperor?

Even if it was just because of the people under him, he wouldn’t allow the Qin Emperor to reappear.

However, if he formed his Diamond Body, only being God Realm like in Cangling World, then that was really pointless.

He knew that the Buddhist Faction had been promoting the Unlimited Buddha within the Cloud World and was teaching people because of him.

In a few years, how many believers could the Cloud World have?

Cangling World was just an exception. The people of that world firmly believed that the Unlimited Buddha was the saver of the world, the only hope to save them from their pain. This was why most believers were all really sincere.

Although there were hundreds of times more people in the Cloud World and the believers were much stronger than those of the medium-sized world, it was hard to say whether or not he would be able to form a Saint Realm strength Buddha Body.

Guan Zizai was elated, “As long as Buddha is willing, then it is okay! Our Buddhist Faction has 79 worlds and promotes the Future Buddha. There are a billion believers. Now, the Buddhist Head has methods to draw the wish power over. Although it would be weak, it would be okay to form a Buddha Body.”

“Is that so? Amitabha?”

Zong Shou acknowledged, he didn’t hesitate much, and just nodded his head.

“Okay, but it is best if you do it quickly…”

He was clear that the moment he said those words, there would be an unbreakable Cause and Effect between the Buddhist Faction and him.

However, not only did he have to face the crisis of the Qin Emperor reviving, but he also had to have more protective measures in place before he faced the killing calamity, which was 10 times more dangerous.

Gathering the Buddha Body was a swift method to increase his strength.

However, if he used the power of the Buddhist Faction, then in the future, he had to pay back an equal amount to pay up suitable Cause and Effect.

Inviting the Buddhist Ancestor to help would be a life-saving grace!

He was really saving him from his desperate situation. Along with that time in Cangling World when he killed Lu Wushuang, how was he going to pay up this Cause and Effect?

It was okay if one had Cause and Effect, but once one felt like they owed something, then one was connected to them.

He was connected to enough things in his life right now.

With such reluctance in his heart, the dust that couldn’t be wiped away, if used well could help to motivate and improve his cultivation.

However, sometimes it was a burden that clouded one’s heart.

Zong Shou sighed, his eyes shining as he asked, “I am the Great Gan Emperor, I can’t become that future Buddha. How is your Buddhist Faction going to explain that in the teachings?”

He was also pretty curious how the Buddhist Faction was going to deal with his connection with them.

The situation was indeed a little awkward.

“Just because you aren’t willing now doesn’t mean you won’t be in the future.”

Guan Zizai laughed, “Not long ago, there was a Buddhist Decree that was handed down. They said that before the Future Buddha proves the path, he would become the Ruler of the worlds. You would rule all worlds and would become Emperor Shitian…”

“Emperor Shitian?”

Zong Shou was stunned. A weird feeling rose up in his chest. Thinking to himself, *would such a thing would occur?　*

※※※※

After another half an incense of time, when everything was dealt with, she asked for several drops of blood from Zong Shou. Only then did Guan Zizai and Jingyin leave. They knew that time was of the essence and they couldn’t waste any more of it.

However, before they left, Zong Shou recalled something and said playfully.

“Jingyin Buddha, my Master misses you. If you have time, head over to Common People’s Vast Habitat to talk about the past.”

There was a cracking sound as 100 miles of land under her started to crack and spread all about.

The spiritual energy in the air was like a wave, energy ringing all about. The shocking power made one’s heart jump.

Jingyin’s expression was as dark as water. Her eyes were filled with rage which couldn’t be suppressed. The green veins on her forehead jumped. The cool and out-of-this-world aura was also nonexistent.

Just as everyone exchanged glances with one another, Guan Zizai was laughing and used his hand to cover his lips.

Jingyin calmed down and after taking in a few deep breaths she turned around.

Her expression was really calm and she smiled, “Disciple has just reincarnated and I have formed my true body. I feel happy that sister Xuanshuang thinks like this. However, I am sorry, I have many things on my mind and don’t have time to head over. However, Buddha Venerable, please help me tell her that I will pay her back for the kindness!”

After saying this, she turned around and left like a fairy.

Zong Shou’s lip curled, thinking that Jingyin’s smile really was fake and it made his hair stand on their ends.

She wasn’t a girl who anyone could tease; she was pure as a white piece of paper.

It seemed like she hated Master Xuanshuang to the bone. Although he benefitted, he was glad to see someone take revenge on her.

The grievances that gathered from the last time were really huge.

In his heart, he was filled with anticipation. Zong Shou turned around and looked towards Xianyang City.

Jingyin needed at least a day to completely gather the people and lay out the formation, to chant that Future Buddha Wish Scripture, to gather Unlimited Light Buddhist Power, and to shine on this entire region.

After his Buddha Body was formed, that would be when he would be strongest.

In this battle in the tomb, he definitely wouldn’t place all his hopes on the Buddhist Faction.

He, himself, also needed to have enough trump cards.

“Why did Xi Zi enter the tomb that year? What did he leave behind?”

Zong Shou took out the God Refined Sword and wiped his fresh blood onto it.
