“I’m going to close my retreat to understand the Buddha Dao, and discuss Buddhism at the Buddha Road in a hundred years.” Ning Cheng had been gone for a long time before the Qu Bodh Holy Buddha suddenly said, and after saying these words, his form faded and soon disappeared without a trace.
“My Buddha is merciful!” After the Holy Buddha of Qu Bodh disappeared, the Head Bodhisattva who had come with Ning Cheng joined his bow and recited respectfully.
Ning Cheng was indeed formidable, but compared to the Holy Buddha, he was still too far behind. The reason why Ning Cheng could leave the Extreme Bliss Heaven was because of the Holy Buddha’s compassion.
Zhu Zhuo Sakura smiled coldly, it was only a short time before Ning Cheng and the Holy Buddha made a move, and she could see that Ning Cheng was not a match for the Holy Buddha. But it was also unlikely that Saint Buddha would want to keep Ning Cheng. It was because the Saint Buddha knew this that this was why he didn’t bother with useless work.
More importantly, Saint Buddha had sensed a new realm from Ning Cheng’s words. More than chasing Ning Cheng, this new realm made Saint Buddha long for it, so Saint Buddha chose to go into seclusion. A hundred years later, when Saint Buddha came out of seclusion to discuss Buddhism, his realm would definitely rise to another level.
……
In the void outside the Brahma World, Ning Cheng and Yu Qing sat on the Starry Sky Wheel. Knowing that the Holy Buddha was not chasing him, Ning Cheng simply let Yu Qing out.
“I knew that Saint Buddha couldn’t stop you, let’s not stay in this place either, there are monks everywhere here.” Yu Qing was in an extraordinarily happy mood when he saw that Ning Cheng had not been traumatised.
Ning Cheng let out a sigh and said, “He didn’t chase me because I said the wrong thing.”
“What did you say?” Yu Qing asked in a puzzled manner.
“Qu Bod’s divine ability is Two Finger Flicking Flower and Void Space. I sensed the dao rhyme break in it at the time and said ‘There was no flower, so you flicked a fart.'”
“That’s not much.” Yu Qing was far from reaching the realm of Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha and was simply unable to understand Ning Cheng’s remark.
Ning Cheng seriously explained, “Once a friend asked me, what is the Great Dao? What is a Dao with accomplishment? I told him that there are three realms of the Dao, the first realm is seeing mountains as mountains and seeing water as water. The second level is to see that the mountain is not a mountain and the water is not water. In the third level, to see the mountain is still a mountain and to see the water is still water ……”
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Yu Qing seemed to sense something and then asked, “Big brother you are saying that that Saint Buddha is still stuck in the second realm and you have reminded him to enter the third realm?”
Ning Cheng shook his head and said, “In my opinion, the Qu Bodh Holy Buddha has long since crossed into the third level realm, it’s just that he is in this mountain and has surprisingly not fused his divine abilities with the Buddha Dao. It was probably caused by the fact that he had done too little recently or had no opponent, and as a result, after just one move with me, this person came to his senses.”
Seeing that Yu Qing still did not understand, Ning Cheng added, “Once I heard this saying, “There is no tree in the Bodhi, nor is there a mirror on the stage; there is nothing in the beginning, where can one stir up dust. The Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha cultivated the Flower Flicking divine Power and imagined a flower in the void. This is the realm of seeing a mountain that is not a mountain. This is not because Qu Bodh Saint Buddha’s Dao is only at the second level, but because there is a gap between his Dao and his divine ability.
Unfortunately, I said the wrong thing at that time and unexpectedly uttered the phrase ‘there is no flower in the first place’. This one sentence allowed a slight break in Qu Bodh Holy Buddha’s Flower Flicking Avatar and I was able to rush out. And the reason why Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha did not chase me was because he had been given something more. With Qu Bodhisattva’s understanding and perception of the Buddha’s Dao, he would only need less than a hundred years at most to perfect the true Flower Flicking Avatar. At that time, what he flicks will no longer be a flower, but any and all things.”
Ning Cheng was depressed enough in his heart, even though he had taken away Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha’s Nine Market Heaven Cymbals, he thought that he had gained more than he lost. The Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha was already so powerful, so when the divine ability went to the next level, how much more could it be?
“Big brother, so what if that Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha is even more powerful? He still has to perceive the great divine power from your words? Since you can make him feel enlightened, you are still afraid of this monk?” Yu Qing could see Ning Cheng’s depression and took the initiative to persuade him.
Ning Cheng’s heart was enlightened, if he could nudge Qu Bodh Holy Buddha with a single word, why would he be afraid of Qu Bodh Holy Buddha being any more powerful?
“Haha, Qing’er, you’re right.” Ning Cheng laughed and reached out to put his arm around Yu Qing, the depression in his heart gone.
Yu Qing was right, his words could make the Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha sense a new Buddha Dao, so what did he fear from Qu Bodhisattva? Besides, a person as strong as Saint Buddha Qu Bodh would come to his senses sooner or later, even if he did not come to his senses today.
Seeing that Ning Cheng was no longer depressed, Yu Qing then asked, “Big brother, what realm is that Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha? Why is it so powerful?”
Ning Cheng pondered for a moment before he said, “His body is surrounded by complex Buddhist dao rhythms, I don’t study the Buddhist dao deeply, so it’s hard to see his strength clearly, I guess that he has probably crossed the Creation Realm in half a step. If I hadn’t heard that you can’t enter the Realm of Creation if the Gate of Creation doesn’t open, I would have suspected that he was already a Realm of Creation powerhouse.”
In a hundred years’ time, the Qu Bodh Holy Buddha would definitely have gone up another level. How would he not fall too far behind in a short period of time? Otherwise, where else would he be when the Gate of Creation opened? The first time the Gate of Creation opened Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha did not participate due to heavy injuries, this second time he would definitely participate.
Although Yu Qing had comforted Ning Cheng, she was still worried for Ning Cheng in her heart.
On the contrary, Ning Cheng comforted Yu Qing and said, “Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha is not much stronger than me, if we meet in the Five Elements Universe, he might be the one to escape. The Western Universe is ruled by the Buddha Dao, so I would have no advantage in fighting him in a place like the Extreme Bliss Heaven. Also his previous Void Hand Seal would not have been much more powerful because he did not repair the Golden Light Buddha Path, that Golden Light Buddha Path was his Dao Rhythm coalescence, he could restore it by stamping his foot, he would not have consumed Dharma power to repair it at all, I did not understand it at that time.”
……
The Starry Sky Wheel had been given to Chasing Ox to control, and Ning Cheng and Yu Qing appeared in the Xuanhuang Pearl once again.
In an empty clearing of the Xuanhuang Pearl, the Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbals were being surrounded by numerous formation flags, placed as if they were half a planet in the middle.
“Will big brother Cang Wei be in there?” Yu Qing was a little worried, she was afraid that Ning Cheng would be disappointed.
Ning Cheng shook his head, “I don’t know, if Cang Wei is no longer inside here, then ……”
He did not continue, the possibility of Cang Wei falling was high if he was not inside.
The prohibitions outside the Xuanhuang Pearl were removed one by one by Ning Cheng, even if the prohibitions that Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha had placed outside the Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbal were strong, they could not stop Ning Cheng.
In just half an hour, the prohibitions on the Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbal were removed by Ning Cheng, and Ning Cheng began to refine the Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbal. The Xuanhuang Pearl was originally Ning Cheng’s world, and even if the Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha was strong, he would not be able to interfere with Ning Cheng’s Xuanhuang Pearl.
In just three days, the Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbal was refined by Ning Cheng, and under Ning Cheng’s hand technique, it transformed into a golden cymbal of less than half a foot on one side.
There was nothing in the golden cymbal, not to mention Cang Wei, not even a single hair.
“Cia has deceived us?” Yu Qing was the first to suspect that Siasia had said that Cang Wei was trapped in the Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbal, and now the Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbal was refined by Ning Cheng, but there was nothing inside.
Ning Cheng shook his head, “Siasia wouldn’t lie to us, it doesn’t make sense to him. I felt a trace of Senior Brother Cang Wei’s dao rhythm remaining in this Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbal, so that means that Cang Wei was indeed once suppressed here. Now that Senior Brother Cangwei is not here, apart from being turned into nothingness by the Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbal, he has escaped.”
Yu Qing looked at Ning Cheng suspiciously, if he had escaped in some other place, she might still believe it. But what kind of place was this? The Western Buddha Lord Qu Bodh Holy Buddha’s magic treasure, the Nine Ruins Heavenly Cymbal. If Cang Wei had escaped, could the Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha not know about it?
Ning Cheng was not sure, and the likelihood of Cang Wei’s fall was in the majority. There was also a chance for Cang Wei to escape, as he had a Heaven Opening Talisman. At that point in time, with his strength, he could also tear through the realm and return to Earth with the sub talisman of the Heaven Opening Talisman. How strong was Cang Wei after his strength had been restored? With such great strength, coupled with the Heaven Opening Talisman, it was really possible to escape.
“Let’s go, let’s go back to the Five Elements Universe first.” Ning Cheng took Yu Qing and left the Xuanhuang Pearl.
The Gate of Creation was about to open, and as long as Cang Wei was alright, he would definitely go to where the Gate of Creation was when it opened. As for him now, it was more important to go back and think of ways to improve his strength.
It wasn’t just for the sake of the Qu Bodhisattva Holy Buddha.
There was also the Five Element Saint Lord, who everyone thought had fallen, who had really seen the Five Element Saint Lord fall? Apart from the Five Element Saint Lord, what about the Infinite Palace Master, the Underworld Heavenly Sovereign, the Light and Darkness Saint Lord and all these people? Not to mention all of them, as long as one of these people was alive, the future competition for the Gate of Creation would be a huge threat.
What’s more, there was also a mysteriously strong Purple Heavenly Daoist. This man possessed the Jade Disc of Creation, and his cultivation was even more unfathomable. Once he had said the words, “Dao is not Dao, people are not people, pity my generation, much torment!” Ning Cheng had not been able to figure out what it meant until now.
……
A year later, Ning Cheng brought Yu Qing to pass through the Witch Realm again.
Without waiting for Ning Cheng’s divine sense to sweep into the Witch Realm, the Witch Clan’s Ancestor Emperor Hong had long since come out with a group of people, and before the people arrived, Hong greeted them with a fist from afar, “Daoist Ning is passing through my Witch Clan once again, it is truly a fortunate event for my Witch Clan.”
“This Witch Clan really has some skills, they must have seen us a long time ago.” Yu Qing said as he transmitted a voice to Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng had long guessed that the Witch Clan had hidden surveillance, it was just that he was so preoccupied with rushing that he had not discovered it. This was normal, the Witch Clan was low in strength and naturally had to be concerned about people passing through the Witch Realm.
“I thought that Daoist Ning had gone to the Western Universe, and was looking forward to when Daoist Ning would return, but I didn’t expect to see Daoist Ning right here.” As Hong spoke, he was already leading people to Ning Cheng and Yu Qing before them.
Ning Cheng said indifferently, “I just happened to be returning from the Western Universe and was passing by here.”
“Daoist Monarch Ning, you have been to the Western Universe?” Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Hong was somewhat nonplussed. Ning Cheng had killed Sha Xun and had gone to the Western Universe and still returned unharmed, that was impossible.
“Could it be that ……” Hong thought about whether the Qu Bodh Holy Buddha did not know that Ning Cheng had killed the fourth Sha Xun? If he knew, Ning Cheng would definitely not have come back.
As if he knew what Hong was thinking, Ning Cheng waved his hand and said, “You are overly concerned, not only does the Qu Bodh Holy Buddha know that I killed the Sha Xun, it is likely that he also knows that I killed the sixth djinn under his throne. At that time, I had a contest with him and I was indeed no match for him in his territory.”
Ning Cheng did not think that Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha did not know that he had killed the fourth and sixth djinn, it was just that Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha had not yet had the time to settle the score with him, or that Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha was not yet capable of settling the score with him.
Hong sucked in a cold breath, Ning Cheng’s mouth said that he was not a match for Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha, that demeanor obviously did not really put Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha at heart. Moreover, after striking with the Qu Bodhisattva Saint Buddha, he was still unharmed, how strong did this have to be?
“Since we have met again, I do have one thing to ask Fellow Daoist Hong.” Ning Cheng clasped his fist.
