Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 492 Already in the Future
In the future, the black-robed Daoist's eyes glowed with divine light, his body radiating vast undulations.
Human hearts have not been eliminated, yet the Will of Heaven has arrived. Whether this absurd matter is real or false, as long as it has reached this point, then this place is real.
"I have a heart, coming from the past. I have not attained Da Luo, yet I have already seen the Will of Heaven."
The future self spoke, and thunder rumbled and echoed endlessly in the world of light. There were also the sounds of dragons and snakes, and the empty whistling of air. It seemed as if several phantoms were speaking at the same time.
The Five Buddhas lowered their gazes: the Treasure Appearance Buddha of the Southern Joy World, the Akshobhya Buddha of the Eastern Wondrous Joy World, the Amitayus Buddha of the Western Pure Land, and the Amoghasiddhi Buddha of the Northern Lotus World.
And in the Central World, Vairochana Buddha, the Great Sun Tathagata.
The difficulty of a single cause—the ruined karma that was once established played a guiding role.
The future Great Sun Tathagata awakened because karma was destined to happen at this time. His will also came here from the past, because he also had karmic connections with Ji Xiang.
"We meet again. You have come to the future where I should have attained enlightenment as the Original Buddha."
The Great Sun Tathagata's voice was without sorrow or joy. A Heavenly Heart powerhouse projects his body into the future, so he will inevitably reach that future. For immortals below the Heavenly Heart, the Heavenly Heart powerhouse they see has no past or future distinctions.
"You lost the position of Yuanshi?"
The Great Sun Tathagata wanted to obtain the power of Yuanshi, but the "person" who had come here had already lost his own existence. However, the Great Sun Tathagata could still recognize Ji Xiang.
The nameless Ji Xiang did not speak, but quietly began to comprehend.
The Great Sun Tathagata sighed:
"Although you lost your name, form, spirit, and even your own existence in the past, it still continues in the future. After being reflected from the past once, it will inevitably succeed."
"But to tell the truth, obtaining the Heavenly Heart power at the level of an immortal, and successfully reflecting the future, is destined for the Heavenly Heart. Attaining the Heavenly Heart is the fruit, and comprehending the Heavenly Heart is the cause, so how can one obtain the fruit before becoming the Heavenly Heart? There have been few such people since ancient times. For this monk, it is also the first time I have seen such a thing, and even more so the first time I have been drawn by such karma."
Indeed, there have been few people like this since ancient times. Considering only Buddhism, the only one who exhibits such a heteromorphic scene, looking through the Buddhist scriptures, is Maitreya Buddha.
Maitreya is in the future, forever in the future.
But speaking of Buddhas of the past, there are many, many.
The Great Sun Tathagata bestowed a lotus platform upon the nameless Ji Xiang, and the golden lotus flower lifted the nameless Ji Xiang up, placing him in front alongside the Five Buddhas.
He did not act because the nameless Ji Xiang at this time was not worth his action. The other party came from the past, and as long as that past still existed, even destroying the future self would be meaningless. The future is the future, the Heavenly Heart is determined, and the other party is destined to be indestructible.
Moreover, the difficulty of a single cause has already begun. Going to attain the Original, the difficulty arises, infinitely cycling and infinitely regressing, the years will constantly reverse back to the previous moment, until it guides out the cause that it wants.
Although in the present moment, Ji Xiang does not have the power of Yuanshi, and the position of Original will not be attained, this causal retribution is a failure.
The heart of the past departs, the heart of the future returns, and the scene before him will happen again, until the moment when the other party attains the Original.
The nameless Ji Xiang also noticed that the Great Sun Tathagata's attitude was not normal, but now there was still a particularly important question in the future self.
"I am using my future self to comprehend Da Luo, but my future self has already attained the Heavenly Heart, so why does it not have a will? Why is it that my future self, seen in the past, reflects the realm of the Heavenly Heart, but my future self, seen in the future, is before the Heavenly Heart?"
The nameless Ji Xiang spoke, asking the only one who could speak, the Great Sun Tathagata before him.
The Great Sun Tathagata also hoped to gain more insights, and gave a truthful response to this person who came from the past and was destined to become a Heavenly Heart, appearing in the more distant future:
"North Pole! You are also an incarnation of the Thousand Light King Tathagata, so you should know! The Diamond Sutra says: The past mind cannot be obtained, the present mind cannot be obtained, the future mind cannot be obtained!"
"The nature of the same existence is different in the past, present, and future. The future moves infinitely forward, the past moves infinitely backward, and every moment in between is the so-called present, so there is never a present, only the past and future."
"You have already reflected the Heavenly Heart, coming from the past, so isn't the you at this moment your future mind? Past mind, present mind, future mind, cannot be obtained, because there is ultimately one heart that lasts forever, and two hearts that forever vanish."
"Of course, in the world today, there is still one person who truly has two hearts, which amazes and frightens me."
That person was Christ, who had almost created a second spirit from his one heart. Since that time, the Great Sun Tathagata had gained great understanding.
The Great Sun Tathagata stopped speaking.
The Eastern Akshobhya Buddha spoke: "Let me talk about the calamities encountered in the past."
"When a person of the past attains the Heavenly Heart and achieves a future self, the disasters that occur in the future where the future self is located are reflected in the past. This is the calamity that someone, somewhere, in some world must experience. But the future can also be reversed by the Heavenly Heart, just as we have done in the past, or as Christ has done."
"If this reflection is successful, and recognized by the future, it will be fixed, and the so-called calamity of the past will disappear."
He spoke meaningfully, and the nameless Ji Xiang also understood what this Buddha meant.
The past can reflect the future, and the calamities of the past can be modified in the future.
As long as one recognizes in the future that one has never been harmed, then this calamity never happened in the past.
Heavenly Heart powerhouses, other than Jade Purity cultivators, can modify karma, but they cannot truly return to the past. However, they can still stay in the future and do similar things.
The Eastern Akshobhya Buddha stopped speaking.
The Western Amitayus Buddha spoke: "The Venerable Ananda said: Be careful not to dwell on the past, nor to desire the future. Past events have ceased, and the future has not yet arrived. All present dharmas, one should also contemplate on them."
The Western Amitayus Buddha stopped speaking.
The Southern Treasure Appearance Buddha spoke:
"Admonish all beings to be careful not to dwell on the past, nor to place all expectations on the future. All that is past has been abandoned, and the future has not yet arrived. Even the present dharmas should be contemplated with correct thought, not dwelling on the past, nor dwelling on the future. Every thought is constantly arising and ceasing, and every thought does not have something very firm and unchanging."
The Southern Treasure Appearance Buddha stopped speaking.
The Northern Amoghasiddhi Buddha spoke:
"One thought of foolishness, prajna is cut off; one thought of wisdom, prajna arises. Therefore, having seen the future, all kinds of things are in one thought. Now, in the future self, having achieved the Heavenly Heart, and reversing the past, is just one thought."
"One is the Heavenly Heart, there is only one heart, two are the Heavenly Heart, one is difficult to observe, its heart cannot be seen."
One Heavenly Heart, there is a heart that lasts forever, that is what is being pursued, and it is also the essence of spirituality condensed from the past and future of the other party. Outsiders cannot see it, nor can they know it, much less accept it. The forever-lasting heart of each Heavenly Heart is the embodiment of their substitution of one will of Heaven, it is the thought that is exhausted in one place, and has the power to create karma and never cease.
The words of the Buddhas enlightened Ji Xiang's mind.
One heart lasts forever, regardless of past or future.
One path is eternal, only in beginning and ending.
Therefore, speaking of comprehending Da Luo, what is the ultimate meaning of Da Luo?
Da Luo is the heaven beyond heaven, the collective name for the Three Pure Heavens, and also represents everything within and without the world, so Luo Heaven is all heavens, and Da Luo Heaven is all heavens.
The realm of Da Luo, without a true master, only the primordial Qi of the Great Brahma, encompassing all the heavens. Before the absence of things and the supremacy. This also represents the ability possessed by Heavenly Heart powerhouses who comprehend Da Luo, reversing cause and effect, placing the fruit before the beginning, also before the absence of things.
"Therefore, if I know that I am the Heavenly Heart, then my comprehension of Da Luo will be Da Luo before comprehension. Because I am the Heavenly Heart, I have my Da Luo."
"Borrowing the future self to achieve the Heavenly Heart, the future self also borrows the past self to achieve the Heavenly Heart, it is not reflection, but mutual illumination."
"It's just that I 'feel' that I still don't know the realm of the Heavenly Heart, but I don't want to 'feel' that way."
"The Heavenly Heart is not in the future, the Heavenly Heart is in the past and future!"
Green smoke leaked from the seven orifices of the nameless Ji Xiang.
A red cloud appeared, the bright red color filling the world of light.
Above Heaven.
After the future.
The empty feeling came again, from the future, also in the past, in Heaven, in something constant and unchanging, in the thought of Heaven or the Heavenly Dao.
The third Heavenly Human Resonance!
The nameless Ji Xiang received the resonance, and that one thought, at this moment, ascended above Heaven.
