Black Night Filled the Sky

Chapter 448 The Forty-Eight Supreme Vows of Buddhism! One Hundred and Eight Thousand Buddha Lands!

Chapter 1654 South Ming Liuli's Ambition

That's right, this was Nan Ming Liuli's greatest confidence.

The so-called great vows were to create blessings for all living beings. When you made a great vow, the Heavenly Dao would accept it, and then the Heavenly Dao would return a large amount of merit to all living beings.

Eliminating the karma of heaven and earth, and creating blessings for all spirits, while you owed karma, needing to slowly repay it.

Of course, if you did this, the Heavenly Dao would also give you rewards.

Nan Ming Liuli opened his mouth, declaring three great vows. Although these three great vows combined could not compare to Lu Changsheng's one sentence: 'If the Netherworld is not empty, I vow not to become a Buddha.'

However, Lu Changsheng's vow was a vow made in the Netherworld, not a great vow made in the Buddhist world, so he could not compete for the Buddhist imprint.

At this moment.

Nan Ming Liuli had already sensed that Lu Changsheng had come to the Buddhist world.

But he was very calm, even fearless of everything, because he was determined to obtain the Buddhist imprint.

Making great vows to compete for the Buddha's seal.

This was his greatest confidence.

Moreover, these three great vows, although not as good as the supreme vow Lu Changsheng had made before, were still not bad. He could add a few more vows.

However, in Nan Ming Liuli's eyes, Lu Changsheng could not continue to make any more vows.

Because he had already made a vow before. Although he had completed part of it, it had not been completely fulfilled, and the karma he owed could be said to be boundless.

In this case, if Lu Changsheng dared to make a great vow, let alone whether Lu Changsheng dared or not.

Even if he dared, could the Heavenly Dao accept it?

How could the karma of great vows be made casually?

After making it, could you definitely get a response from the Heavenly Dao?

It could be said that Nan Ming Liuli felt confident that he had victory in his grasp. Of course, the only thing to worry about was not Lu Changsheng, but Bodhi Wisdom.

Lu Changsheng could not make a great vow, but Bodhi Wisdom could.

Nan Ming Liuli was gambling, betting that Bodhi Wisdom would not make a vow.

At the same time.

Beneath the Great Thunderclap Ancient Temple.

Bodhi Wisdom looked at Nan Ming Liuli with some surprise.

He did not expect that Nan Ming Liuli would dare to make such a great vow just to compete for the Buddhist Heavenly Dao imprint.

At this moment, the Buddhist imprint that was originally rushing towards Lu Changsheng did indeed pause, as if hesitating.

"I am Nan Ming Liuli. Today, in order to compete for the Buddhist imprint, I make another great vow: May all benevolent cultivators in the world understand Tathagata and not fall into reincarnation."

Nan Ming Liuli spoke again, making another great vow. He had already made five great vows.

He just wanted to scare Bodhi Wisdom, making him afraid to make a vow.

You must know that once both sides have made great vows, if you don't get the Buddhist Heavenly Dao imprint, then you still have to repay the karma of the vows you made.

This is like an auction. No matter how much money you bid, as long as you open your mouth, you have to pay that much money. And if someone else bids higher than you and gets the auctioned item, it has nothing to do with you.

Bodhi Wisdom was indeed hesitating.

He really didn't know whether to make a great vow or not.

If he didn't, he wouldn't have any chance of winning at all.

But if he did, what if Nan Ming Liuli continued to make great vows?

Would that leave anyone alive?

Bodhi Wisdom frowned.

But just as the Buddhist imprint was about to fly towards Nan Ming Liuli, Bodhi Wisdom's voice sounded.

"I am Bodhi Wisdom. Today, in order to compete for the Buddhist imprint, I make a great vow: May all living beings in the world who believe in my Buddha attain wisdom, not be stained by karma, enjoy merit, and not suffer the pain of reincarnation, nor the pain of birth, old age, sickness, and death."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke, and with such a great vow.

Much bigger than Nan Ming Liuli's.

Nan Ming Liuli only wanted to save sentient beings from the suffering of reincarnation, while Bodhi Wisdom wanted all sentient beings in the world to be free from the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death. In other words, everyone would have immortal cultivation, but they must believe in my Buddha.

This vow was remarkable.

One was worth five of Nan Ming Liuli's.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In an instant, the Buddhist imprint was indeed shaking, rushing towards Bodhi Wisdom's direction.

However, at this moment, Nan Ming Liuli was a little angry.

I've been waiting for you for so long, and you didn't make a vow?

Oh, you just waited until the Buddhist imprint was almost in my hands before you made a vow?

Did you have to be so disgusting?

Thinking of this, Nan Ming Liuli took a deep breath and continued to make vows.

The sixth vow sounded.

The Buddhist imprint flew towards Nan Ming Liuli.

Seeing this scene, Bodhi Wisdom couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He had already made a vow, so what was there to be afraid of? If he wanted to compete, he would compete to the end. Whether he could repay it or not, he would make the vow first.

And so, one sentence from you, one sentence from me, each vow was bigger than the last, each one more extraordinary.

Making Lu Changsheng in the distance feel a little indescribable.

He didn't expect that the competition for the Buddhist imprint could be played like this.

If he had known that he could make vows, why would he have bothered to run to the Netherworld and answer questions? Wasn't that just being idle?

He was a little angry, but there was nothing to say.

"Brother Changsheng, aren't you going to compete?"

Shan Ting asked, curious.

"I will, but let's let them two finish making their vows first."

Lu Changsheng said. It wasn't that he had bad intentions, but mainly to let them exhaust themselves first. What if, with his joining, the two made even greater vows? He would be at a loss.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng waited quietly.

And so, Bodhi Wisdom and Nan Ming Liuli continued to make great vows.

Moreover, each one was more exaggerated than the last, each one more ferocious. Profound yellow merit filled the sky, even condensing a five-clawed merit golden dragon.

Compared to Lu Changsheng's, it was naturally not qualified, but this was already terrifying.

After all, this was just a vow made. The karma you needed to repay was many times more than what you received. Otherwise, everyone would make vows.

Because making a vow was for everyone's good, and your heart was benevolent. If you really wanted any benefits, wouldn't that violate the will of the vow?

The Heavenly Dao rewarding you with something was also because it felt that you would be so hard in the future, so it gave you some benefits.

In the end, Nan Ming Liuli continued to speak.

But there was no reaction from heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Dao did not accept Nan Ming Liuli's vow. He had already made seventy-two vows, and no more would do.

However, two five-clawed golden dragons of merit had already condensed behind Nan Ming Liuli.

As for Bodhi Wisdom, he had only condensed one and a half, but after seeing this scene, Bodhi Wisdom didn't hide anything either.

He directly made a bigger vow, making up thirty-six great vows.

In an instant, two five-clawed golden dragons of merit condensed.

The two sides were evenly matched.

At this moment, the Buddhist imprint hesitated.

Thinking of this, Bodhi Wisdom gritted his teeth even more.

"I am Bodhi Wisdom, taking the Bodhi clan's supreme treasure, the Seven Treasure Tree, as proof. If I obtain the Heavenly Dao imprint, all living beings will go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke. He knew that relying on himself, he could not make the Heavenly Dao respond to his vow, but he also had a treasure, a congenital treasure.

The Seven Treasure Tree.

But this treasure was not in his hands, but in the Divine King Treasure, which he could only open after becoming an Immortal Emperor.

However, if he obtained the Buddhist imprint, he could also directly attain the Immortal Emperor realm. At that time, he could open the Seven Treasure Tree, so he could indeed make another vow.

As the voice sounded, the third five-clawed golden dragon of merit appeared, surrounding Bodhi Wisdom.

At this moment, Bodhi Wisdom smiled. He showed the first smile since meeting Lu Changsheng.

Nan Ming Liuli completely broke down. There was some anger in his eyes as he looked at Bodhi Wisdom, wanting to say something, but in the end, he held back.

He didn't have a congenital treasure, so he couldn't continue to make vows. The Heavenly Dao was also unwilling to agree.

Bodhi Wisdom smiled.

His smile was very strong.

Finally, finally, finally he had obtained the Buddhist imprint. Although he had made so many vows, so what?

Obtaining the Buddhist imprint, becoming an Immortal Emperor, then going to the Great Thousand World, and repaying the karma later, what was there to be afraid of?

And most, most, most, most importantly, he had finally taken a step ahead of Lu Changsheng, finally letting Lu Changsheng only watch him!

Wuuu!

Finally, the heavens had not failed him.

He had finally won against Lu Changsheng once.

Bodhi Wisdom was almost crying.

But in this situation, he couldn't cry. He had to smile and welcome a bright future.

However, just then.

Seeing that everything had settled, Lu Changsheng's voice slowly sounded.

"Are you done yet?"

The voice sounded.

The Buddhist world was silent.

Everyone turned their gaze to Lu Changsheng, their eyes full of curiosity.

They didn't understand what Lu Changsheng meant by saying this.

Each one was extremely curious.

The next moment, Lu Changsheng's voice sounded.

"I am Lu Changsheng. If I attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, becoming enlightened, the Buddha-land where I reside will be replete with immeasurable and inconceivable merits and adornments."

As the voice sounded, heaven and earth shook once more.

Auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and Lu Changsheng also began to make great vows.

Moreover, the great vows that Lu Changsheng made were even more magnificent.

"This! This is impossible!"

"He can still make great vows."

"Even if he makes great vows, the problem is that the Heavenly Dao is still accepting them?"

"This isn't a great vow, this is a supreme vow!"

"Is Lu Changsheng really not afraid of karma and entanglement?"

"He's already made a vow to not become a Buddha until the Netherworld is empty. Now he's making another supreme vow?"

"'Becoming enlightened, the Buddha-land where I reside will be replete with immeasurable and inconceivable merits and adornments.' What does that mean?"

"If I attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, when I become a Buddha, the country where I live will be full of boundless and inconceivable merits and adornments. The personnel, the material, everything, will exceed the Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Someone was shocked, unable to believe that Lu Changsheng would dare to continue making vows at this time.

What was even more shocking was that the Heavenly Dao dared to accept it?

It was as if a person, dressed in noble attire, ran to a money house to borrow money, first borrowing one hundred million taels of silver. The money house saw that your identity was extraordinary, and that you wanted to take the money to create blessings for the common people, so it was willing to lend it to you.

Then you scattered all your wealth and ran to the money house again, but this time not for the sake of the common people, but more for yourself, borrowing tens of millions of taels again.

Normally speaking, how dare the money house lend it to you?

You haven't paid off what you borrowed before, and now you're borrowing again?

At least pay off a part of the previous money!

Bodhi Wisdom and Nan Ming Liuli's faces also became ugly.

Especially Nan Ming Liuli, his heart was full of depression. When he made a great vow, the Heavenly Dao didn't accept it. When Lu Changsheng made such a big vow, the Heavenly Dao felt as if it was his subordinate, accepting everything.

It was as if the money house was opened by Lu Changsheng's family. When Nan Ming Liuli went to borrow millions of taels, he had to calculate this interest, that interest, and stipulate when to repay it.

After Lu Changsheng borrowed one hundred million taels, he borrowed tens of millions more, without mentioning any interest or stipulating any time, borrowing it first.

How could this not make people angry?

How could this not make people feel aggrieved?

This?

Still from the Divine Sea?

Still high and mighty? What are you taking to be high and mighty?

Nan Ming Liuli wanted to cry. He wanted to cry even more than Bodhi Wisdom.

However, Lu Changsheng's voice sounded again.

"If I attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, in my Buddha-land, there will be no hells, hungry ghosts, beasts, nor anything that crawls, flies, or wriggles."

"All living beings, from the three evil paths, who are born in my Buddha-land, receiving my dharma, if they get what they are owed, they will become Buddhas. If they don't get what they are owed, they will not go to Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi."

Magnificent voices sounded.

Buddhist sounds rolled, spreading throughout the Six Realms.

Immortal sounds resounded, and the world was peaceful.

"When I become a Buddha, may all living beings in the ten directions who are born in my Buddha-land possess bodies of true purple-gold color."

Three vows.

Four vows.

Ten vows.

Twenty vows.

Thirty vows.

Forty vows.

Forty-five vows.

Forty-seven vows.

In the end, Lu Changsheng still spoke.

"When I become a Buddha, those born in my country, the food, clothing, and all kinds of offerings that they need, will arrive at will, and all their wishes will be fulfilled."

This was the last vow.

Forty-eight vows.

As the voice ended, a massive amount of merit entered Lu Changsheng's body.

And at this moment, the Heavenly Dao imprint of Buddhism no longer hesitated, directly flying towards Lu Changsheng's location.

This was the forty-eight great vows of Buddhism.

It was the vows of the Western Two Saints when they attained the Dao.

Since Bodhi Wisdom and Nan Ming Liuli liked to make vows, Lu Changsheng simply brought out all forty-eight of these vows.

Let's see whose vows were better.

As the forty-eight vows fell.

The Heavenly Dao accepted them one by one.

Then forty-eight five-clawed golden dragons of merit appeared again.

These golden dragons were not added to Lu Changsheng's body.

Instead, they were added to Lu Changsheng's vision.

The Bodhi Divine Tree soared, actually forcibly evolving into 108,000 Buddha-lands. The Buddha-lands were resplendent, like the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

At the same time, it affected 108 million li. In other words, with Lu Changsheng as the center, 108 million li was Lu Changsheng's Buddha-land. If one sincerely worshiped in front of his gate, they could enjoy all kinds of benefits from the forty-eight vows.

Not falling into reincarnation.

Not dying and not perishing.

Rebirth in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi.

At this moment, outside the Great Thunderclap Ancient Temple.

Lu Changsheng was like a true ancient Buddha.

Evolving an ancient Buddha phantom, the Great Sun Tathagata, indestructible as Vajra, not speaking, but the Buddhist sound resounded throughout the Six Realms, the divine light was brilliant, Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, supreme enlightenment, supreme wisdom, inconceivable, immeasurable.

The Heavenly Dao imprint of Buddhism directly entered Lu Changsheng's body, evolving this Great Sun Tathagata.

The fourth imprint was obtained.

Now there were only two left.

One was the Demon Realm imprint.

One was two-thirds of the Immortal Realm imprint.

In heaven and earth.

Bodhi Wisdom and Nan Ming Liuli were completely desperate.

The most desperate was Bodhi Wisdom.

He had made so many vows.

In the end, he had made a wedding dress for someone else.

He cried.

He really cried.

He didn't cry loudly, but tears streamed down his face.

Bringing sighs and shaking heads from the crowd.

But Lu Changsheng put his hands together and said.

"Amitabha, Fellow Daoist Bodhi, do not be sad. As the saying goes, if it is meant to be, it will be. If it is not, do not force it."

As the voice sounded.

Bodhi Wisdom took a deep breath.

Then he cried louder.

But just then, Lu Changsheng's voice sounded again.

"Venerable Garan, may I ask if you know a woman named Qian Yunrou?"

Lu Changsheng's voice sounded.

He had not forgotten the purpose of his visit.

Although the Buddhist imprint was the main thing.

But finding the Exquisite Holy Maiden was even more important.

In fact, when he came to this place, Lu Changsheng's divine sense swept across the Buddhist world, but he did not find the figures of Qian Yunrou and the Exquisite Holy Lord.

He didn't know where the Exquisite Holy Lord had gone.

But his divine sense could not penetrate the Great Thunderclap Ancient Temple.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng believed that Qian Yunrou and the Exquisite Holy Lord might be in the ancient temple.
