Chapter 509 Nine Nether Deliverance Heavenly Lord

The Peacock Mahamayuri and others watched this scene intently until the descending Mandate of Heaven manifested a lotus seed, from which a faint voice echoed.

"If there are those who were never within the framework from the beginning, they can avoid this annihilation. Everything, the myriad phenomena, can be preserved."

The Four Symbols of Hell were incomplete, lacking the past and future, only the Symbols of Karma and Affinity existed.

"The time when all Buddhas enter Nirvana and Hell transforms into a Buddhist realm has truly arrived. I thought they were lying."

The red-eyed, bald-headed, and fierce-looking Vairambha Venerable held the lotus Buddha seed in his hands. The saints of Hell anxiously stepped forward to observe, and listened to the words spoken by the Vairambha Venerable, their expressions filled with urgency and shock.

"All Buddhas enter Nirvana? How is that possible? Now is the time when Buddhism is flourishing. Look at the seventeen hells above Avici and the Vajra Lotus Platform, have they wavered in the slightest? The Dharma is still vast and boundless, and the Buddha still lives in the world, so how could anyone cut off the path of Buddhism?"

King Sword of Tānomitra shook his head. Could it be that someone extraordinary had emerged within the Three Teachings, or even outside them?

The Vairambha Venerable began to sigh deeply:

"Yes, but many people do not know it, and the Great Kalpic Destruction that was once speculated to exist has finally arrived."

"Avici Hell is a fragment of the past, and a very distant past, so it is incomplete, lacking the Four Symbols. It is outside of our Great Time, in the far, far away, and someone has fixed it here with supreme Dharma, but what is fixed in this Time is only its projection."

"Therefore, Avici is immortal. Our vows are taken by Avici, leaving only our souls and spirits to be resurrected here, suffering day and night."

Several great ghosts stared at him. The Great Red-Canopy Ghost suddenly smiled:

"Alright, there's no need to hide from each other now. Which great Buddha are you? You must have come here on some mission, unlike us who came here for committing great sins."

The Great When-Advancing Ghost also said, "Venerable's origins are a mystery. You are not as straightforward as Nü Qing and Peacock Mahamayuri, nor did you lose your past like Tānomitra. What mistakes did Venerable commit, and why did you come here? If Venerable knows some great secrets about the world, we have been together for thousands of years, so for the sake of this friendship, please tell us something."

The Vairambha Venerable nodded, "Alright, it has come to this point. The lotus seed left by the Buddha Emperor has appeared, which means that what he had guessed was all correct. There is no need for me to conceal my identity any longer."

"I am Vipashyi."

The two Great Ghosts, Red Canopy and When Advancing, were startled, and even Peacock Mahamayuri was shocked and said, "The First Buddha of the past!"

"No! In this world, the Seven Buddhas of the Past are only existences in legends. Only the Buddha is a true manifestation. You are the First Buddha of the Past, you should only be something in legends, not a source stream, because there are many Buddhist Dharmas, so your Dharma has not been passed down, and because there are no related legends, you should not appear, nor can a source stream incarnation appear."

Vipashyi Buddha smiled, "The First of the Past, is to see all kinds of sights, all kinds of observations, which means to be able to see everything in the past, everything in the future, but in reality, the power of legends is limited. The reason why I can appear is because the Buddha Emperor entrusted me as the past body."

"The Buddha Emperor once guessed that the current situation would happen, so he also made preparations to deal with it, which is to escape, to escape to a place that thing cannot reach."

"And Tānomitra, although he has lost his past, the last time the Polar True Man opened the Hell Seal, he handed out the treasure sword on his body. You should also know who he is."

Peacock Mahamayuri indifferently said, "In the practices of Hell, there was once a monk named Shēngyì who fell into Hell for countless billions of years. After coming out of Hell, he was reincarnated as a human, and for seven hundred and forty thousand lifetimes, he was constantly slandered by others, and he could not hear the name of the Buddha during countless kalpas of reincarnation. Only when these sins were reduced to very little did he hear the Dharma."

"This is the legend of the believers, not something that actually happened."

"So Tānomitra stabbed the Buddha and lost his past, receiving the same punishment as Shēngyì, because he is the monk Shēngyì, that is, Manjushri Bodhisattva."

"I understand, the reason I was knocked down here was not because I committed some great sin at all. It was because the Buddha Emperor foresaw this and had Vajrapani suppress me here, in order to continue spreading the Dharma in the new world."

Peacock Mahamayuri looked at the two of them, "Manjushri's wisdom, the Corpse Buddha's myriad visions, the Mahamayuri's protection. So he chose the eternal First Buddha of the past. It does not change the tenets of Buddhism, and chose the most wise Manjushri to preach the Dharma for the liberation of new beings, and I am just a thug."

"But I still feel that something is not quite right. It was when Vajrapani suppressed me that it felt wrong. Why did he listen to the Buddha Emperor so much?"

Peacock Mahamayuri stared at Vipashyi Buddha and asked, "Does he have any great vows that are related to the Buddha Emperor?"

"The original Buddha position. To achieve the source stream of Buddhism."

"Source stream..."

Peacock Mahamayuri carefully pondered, then suddenly raised his eyes:

"Is it the source stream of the old world Buddha, or the source stream of your so-called new world Buddha? Which original? Is it the original of the past, or the next original?"

"That's right, if there really is a new world, everything in the new world has not yet been determined. There is no Buddha. He speaks, he speaks of the Buddha, and only then will there be a Buddha in the new world."

"Avici Hell is under his control, and he is also not within the framework!"

"He wants me to become his Protector King, like Acala and the Buddha!"

Peacock Mahamayuri suddenly understood, and at this moment, Avici suddenly shook, and all the ghosts were shocked, but this shaking quickly subsided.

"I say, if this Avici Hell where we are disappears, according to your statement, this is just a projection, then will our vows awaken in the true body of Avici Hell? And where is that?"

The two Great Ghosts, Red Canopy and When Advancing, were completely clueless, but Peacock Mahamayuri looked at them strangely:

"Acting? Still acting?"

"Didn't you say that your fierce names are engraved in the scriptures of Taoism? Are you subordinates of some Heavenly Heart, or are you incarnations of those Heavenly Hearts? Coming to Avici, you have no plans of your own?"

The two Great Ghosts shook their heads, indicating that if Tānomitra had lost his past, then they had lost their minds, and now they knew nothing.

"Perhaps we really have some background?"

"This is not acting! We really don't know."

"If I am a clone or incarnation of someone, then is the wife I had when I was in the human world fake?"

"Perhaps that wife is also another incarnation of your true body."

The two Great Ghosts fell into self-doubt and contemplation, but quickly put this matter behind them and asked back to the previous question:

"No, what was that shaking just now? I really thought Avici Hell was going to be finished."

"Great Mahamayuri, do you still have contact with the Polar True Man?"

Peacock Mahamayuri frowned, "No, I haven't opened the door for a long time. I can't sense the people over there, as if they have disappeared into thin air."

"That's because he is no longer within the framework."

Nü Qing's voice came, and the others saw her standing on the other side of the Yama River, gradually blooming with immeasurable merits.

"Nü Qing, you?"

They were puzzled. Nü Qing then formed a mudra with her hands, an ancient mudra.

"Three trillion, nine hundred billion sins cannot be washed away in Avici Hell. There is no past or future here, which means that the sins are eternal, neither increasing nor decreasing."

"And my sin will not be removed here. It has a place where it can be removed."

"Everyone, I can help you overcome this disaster without any accidents."

"Of course, there are conditions."

Peacock Mahamayuri said, "We know that you are an ancient goddess who established the Heavenly Laws, you are the last Nü Qing, so do you want to establish new Heavenly Laws in the new world? It doesn't matter, although I am a Buddhist Mahamayuri, I am not very grateful to Buddhism."

"Establishing a new religion, a fusion of the Three Teachings is not bad. The Heavenly Laws can be established by you."

Vipashyi Buddha, listening to these words, gradually widened his eyes, but quickly shook his head again.

Peacock Mahamayuri's position was not firm in the first place, but he could at least guarantee the continuation of the Dharma, which was beyond doubt, as long as he restored the Heavenly Heart divine power, he would also be one of the strongest experts in the world's Heavenly Hearts.

"No, it's not the Heavenly Laws, but the entire new world."

"Everything in the world has reached the point of no return, and the Heavenly Hearts are the same. Only my Lord can solve this final problem and quell this disaster."

Behind Nü Qing, a phantom appeared, and the phantom reflected Avici Hell, opening a crack in the door in this Hell void, connecting to the sky and the Yama River, emitting rolling Jade Purity radiance.

Inside, above, below, and in all directions, a Heavenly Venerable name was born, not within the Four Symbols, in the past of the past, at the beginning of all unknowns.

The first Jade Purity cultivator.

The Nine Underworlds Salvation Heavenly Venerable!
