Chapter 463 The Fiery Cross

Chapter 463 Burning at the Stake on a Cross

Bizarre and absurd heretical theories, incessant妖言(yaoyan, seductive fallacies), confusing the masses. The 妖天师(Yao Tianshi, Demonic Celestial Master) seemed to speak as one person, yet also as trillions of living beings. Without the Vajra eyes, within this Vajra Realm, all cosmic stars and trillions of living beings had become the 妖天师(Yao Tianshi, Demonic Celestial Master)'s devout followers, uttering all sorts of strange words. But he knew that this was just a trick of "bewilderment"!

"Do you think this can hinder my Bodhi Vajra heart? With one thought, all beings are transformed into Buddhas."

The Unobstructed Vajra destroys all troubles. Thus, the beings in this disordered Vajra Realm, in the very next moment, all assumed solemn expressions and began to chant Buddhist scriptures. The transformation from Buddha to demon occurred in the blink of an eye, and the abilities of the two 天心(tianxin, Heavenly Heart) extended from the Vajra Realm, already affecting the human world.

The beings of the South Sea were like this, at one moment converting to the 妖天师(Yao Tianshi, Demonic Celestial Master), and at another moment converting to the Unobstructed Vajra. Buddhist teachings and demonic words arose together. Even those experts who had reached the Refining Spirit level were no exception. The various local teachings were in chaotic disarray. Many people even kicked over their own altars and smashed the idols they had been worshipping, wanting to rely on the demonic path or the esoteric sect.

Only those at the Immortal level were unaffected. In the South Sea, Lei Wang (Thunder King) was dragged into the Eastern Flower Dreamland, leaving only two incompetent Immortals. They were helpless against this chaos because the influence came from the Vajra Realm, not the human world.

"Before becoming an Immortal, you are like an ant; after becoming an Immortal, you are still an ant! This cultivation is truly impossible!"

The two Immortal teachers had their Dao hearts damaged at this moment. The 天心(tianxin, Heavenly Heart) realm's influence on the world, even without a direct confrontation, merely the aftermath of a battle, had caused such upheaval, blurring the lines between right and wrong. Ordinary Immortals felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of such great power.

You can neither save the world nor yourself!

However, the Unobstructed Vajra's influence was weakening because the Six Paths of Reincarnation intervened, causing his 天心(tianxin, Heavenly Heart) resonance to become unstable. This caused the Unobstructed Vajra to look towards the Kshitigarbha in the Six Paths of Reincarnation and issue a warning:

"If you continue to interfere with me using the Dao of Reincarnation, trying to suppress all the 天心(tianxin, Heavenly Heart) mysteries within me, if you do this again, I will cast you into the depths of reincarnation, never to return."

"You should know that the origin of my esoteric sect is the fundamental Buddha of the world, and I have quite a bit of experience with the method of寂灭(jimiè, extinction)! Do you want to attain Nirvana!"

The Kshitigarbha said in the Six Paths of Reincarnation: "I have already entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and my divine intelligence has been lost. What difference does Nirvana make? What fear do I have of entering Nirvana?"

"All actions are impermanent, and those who are born must die; not being born means not dying, and this extinction is the greatest joy."

The Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva was not afraid of the Unobstructed Vajra's threat, and Guanyin spoke at this moment, her wondrous voice rising from Mount Potalaka:

"The Mahavairocana Buddha is in the Intermediate Realm and can only use the power of the Vajra Realm. He cannot use the Womb Realm. This universe is incomplete. Everyone, join forces and do not be afraid. Just fight for a long time, and you can force him to retreat."

The Unobstructed Vajra emitted a rumbling Buddhist sound.

"Is that so? Is that what you all think?"

"I do not manifest the Womb Realm because if the Womb Realm were to appear, all beings would be transformed into Buddhist disciples, which would not be tolerated by the world."

The Vajra Realm represents the wisdom of the Buddha, while the Womb Realm represents the rationality of the Buddha. If the Womb Realm descends, all beings covered by the Womb Realm will have Buddha-nature appear within them, and as long as they have Buddha-nature, they are all formed by the Buddhas.

Naturally, the human world could not allow the 天心(tianxin, Heavenly Heart) to trigger the Womb Realm, so other 天心(tianxin, Heavenly Heart) had to be used to counter it. That was the great world formed by the vows of the Buddhas, representing the root of Buddha-nature in the world.

The Unobstructed Vajra's determination to extinguish was set:

"Since you refuse to retreat, then let me extinguish you here."

His body is寂静(jijing, tranquil), detached from all appearances.

The Unobstructed Vajra emitted great light! For a time, he suppressed the power of the 妖天(yao tian, demonic heaven), and five Buddha forms continuously emerged from his body!

Seeing this scene, Ji Xiang murmured to himself:

"There is a saying in the esoteric sect that the five Buddhas of the esoteric sect are all transformations of the Mahavairocana Buddha!"

The Unobstructed Vajra's voice was vast:

"Not so. The five Buddhas are all each other, all without a fixed form. The trillions of living beings in the world can only manifest one image when appearing before others, and this is the original form and spirit."

"If someone possesses the divine position of a 天神(tianshen, celestial god), then they will have a temporary 天神(tianshen, celestial god) image. There are also those who have found another way, and they themselves can have two or more permanent forms and spirits. This is not a borrowed image, but an ability they fully possess (Chapter incomplete!)

, and the method of transforming between several images is called the art of transformation. It is a difficult to learn and difficult to find divine power."

"And in the Vajra Realm, borrowing the thoughts of all beings, I am the five Buddhas, and the five are all! As beings imagine, I transform. This thought cannot be broken by demonic words and cannot be controlled by Western techniques."

The Unobstructed Vajra put his hands together, and the sound of his palms erupting was like the collapse of the heavens and the earth.

"Vajra Realm Wisdom Mandala—Five Aspects 成身(chéngshēn, Accomplishing the Body)!"

The five great Buddhas manifested their Buddha forms, without substance, but in the Vajra Realm, they truly existed. The Buddha-Bodhisattva Dharma bodies formed by the five elements—earth, water, fire, wind, and space—generated all kinds of Buddhist Dharma in the world.

At the same time, they attained the five Buddha-natures through five kinds of visualization. Penetrating the mind, the Bodhi heart, the Vajra heart, the Vajra body, and the perfect unsurpassed Bodhi heart.

The Treasure Appearance Buddha of the Southern Joyful World, the Akshobhya Buddha of the Eastern Wonderful Joy World, the Amitabha Buddha of the Western Pure Land, and the Amoghasiddhi Buddha of the Northern Lotus World.

And on the body of the Unobstructed Vajra, the golden light faded, stained with pure white radiance.

"Self-nature is pure, and the Pure Land comes from it."

"Akanistha."

In the Vajra Realm, the Unobstructed Vajra also unfolded his Pure Land Divine Kingdom, and Mount Potalaka and the Six Paths of Reincarnation were instantly crushed into illusory shadows. In the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Kshitigarbha recited the Dharma:

"The seven virtues of the earth."

Birth, gathering, carrying, storing, holding, reliance, and steadfastness. The seven virtues of the earth increase all good, gather all good Dharmas in the heart, bear all the sins of beings, store all the wonderful Dharmas, hold all the wonderful good, rely on all beings to rely on, and the earth is as firm as Vajra and cannot be destroyed.

The Dao of Reincarnation broke free from the illusory shadow and became unshakable. The Kshitigarbha drove the hungry ghost paper towards the Unobstructed Vajra, with the spirit of perishing together.

The Unobstructed Vajra became restrained instead. He did not want to be pulled into the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Facing the Kshitigarbha's desperate fighting style, he was puzzled:

"You are not afraid of寂灭(jimiè, extinction) because you are already prepared for寂灭(jimiè, extinction), and you still want to drag me into寂灭(jimiè, extinction) with you?"

"How could I let you get your wish?"

"Mahavairocana's three secrets in one!"

The sun in the world has a direction, but only its light does not illuminate the night; the sunlight of the Tathagata's wisdom is not like this, illuminating everywhere, without distinction of day, night, inside, or outside.

The white light on the Unobstructed Vajra's body shone brightly, and the hungry ghosts on the ghost paper successively transformed into Buddha forms. The Six Paths lost the key to opening and were about to be closed by the Unobstructed Vajra!

The Kshitigarbha was also shocked, and the Unobstructed Vajra's voice was clear and vast:

"If the hells are not emptied, I vow not to become a Buddha."

"I will transform the hungry ghosts into Buddhas. The Six Paths are emptied, and ten thousand ghosts become Buddhas. My vow will be fulfilled, and it is appropriate to enter寂灭(jimiè, extinction) and attain Nirvana."

Rays of Buddha light rose from the true body of the Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva. Even his great vow at this moment was used by the Unobstructed Vajra. After the Buddha light, the hellfire arose, because the Kshitigarbha carried the evil karma of all beings, and one Nirvana was still eliminating the consequences.

At this moment, a dark cloud flew out from Mount Potalaka, with all kinds of city phantoms within it, and the voice of Guanyin was heard:

"Sins! Three thousand great chiliocosms, yakshas and rakshasas, and all the ghosts of the lands, all enter reincarnation to replenish it!"

In the three thousand lands, there are yakshas and rakshasas, and the ghosts of all the lands, who harm beings. In the Buddhist scriptures, Guanyin's sacred name conceals their perception, so that they cannot harm people. But once the Buddha light is withdrawn, these ghosts of all the lands will flee out. They can only be seen running into the hungry ghost paper and fighting with those hungry ghosts who have become Buddhas.

With one thought from the Unobstructed Vajra, two of the five Buddhas looked towards Mount Potalaka, pushing back its peaks. The Vajra's true form looked towards Ji Xiang:

"I will show you how to turn falsehood into truth! Without the help of a 天心(tianxin, Heavenly Heart) Mahayana, you can never defeat me."

"And even if a 天心(tianxin, Heavenly Heart) Mahayana descends... in the Vajra Realm, it is still insignificant!"

"Western techniques are merely inferior."

However, just as the Unobstructed Vajra spoke these words.

The false gospel, which had only swallowed the divine form of the blue-clothed priest, suddenly became indestructible. One by one, sacred texts were arranged on it, and a magnificent cross suddenly illuminated the Vajra Realm universe!

"Oh?"

Ji Xiang had not expected this change. Not only that, but the 妖天师(Yao Tianshi, Demonic Celestial Master), the Kshitigarbha, and Guanyin were all unprepared for the current situation.

(Chapter incomplete!)

The Unobstructed Vajra's golden eyes narrowed even more.

"Hmph!"

This disdainful provocation was the strongest response to this cross!

"This should be interesting." Although the 妖天师(Yao Tianshi, Demonic Celestial Master) was somewhat surprised, after all, this was the Buddhist Vajra Realm. Among the various Dharma Realms of Buddhism, especially within the Dharma Realm of the esoteric sect, it was the supreme existence. But there was a foreign fellow who wanted to come in and show off?

Had he angered Christ?

The sacred texts suddenly began to burn, and all the flames surged towards the Unobstructed Vajra, forming a huge fiery cross!

In the darkness, there was a soft rebuke, neither male nor female, without high or low tones:

"Rage, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene words from your mouth. There are thoughts, murder, adultery, promiscuity, theft, false witness, blasphemy, desires come from the root of suffering."

"The crime of burning at the stake shall be carried out."

This fiery cross was like the karma fire of all beings, beginning to burn away the Vajra Realm!
