Chapter 285: Nirvana and Silence, Returning to the Pure Land
Things in the future are unpredictable. If something unexpected happens in the present, the future will also change, but some supreme beings will not be affected.

such as……

That door!
Hongjun deliberately blocked the news, and only a handful of people knew about the existence of that door. Since Duobao spoke, he must have seen the door with his own eyes.

Nuwa frowned slightly and suddenly asked, "When did you attain enlightenment?"

Hearing this, Duobao sighed and said, "The West was flourishing, after the battle between Buddha and Demon, and before the advent of the Dao Gate, the entire prehistoric world was plunged into the catastrophe of the end of the law!"

Nuwa's expression eased slightly, and she stared at Taoist Duobao and said, "I can help you once, but I want you to promise to help me once in the future!"

"can!"

Duobao nodded without hesitation.

Although his current stance is different from Nuwa's, in the future, the two may not be unable to stand in the same camp, so he naturally has no worries!
Upon hearing this, Nuwa immediately sacrificed herself to face the seventh heavenly punishment. At the same time, an incomparably pure force of creation began to merge into the golden body of Taoist Duobao.

"This is all I can do. Whether you can withstand the punishment from heaven depends on your luck!"

The body of the immortal Nuwa disappeared into thin air after being hit by the heavenly punishment, leaving only a streak of light flying towards where the divine Nuwa was.

She has two Tao fruits. As long as she temporarily cuts off the cause and effect of the immortal incarnation, she won't have to worry about the power of heavenly punishment affecting the divine incarnation that is fighting with Hou Tu.

“I hope it will succeed!”

Taoist Duobao sighed softly, and his broken golden body supported a Buddhist kingdom. A vast and ancient aura surged, and a breath of great extinction cycled back and forth.

This Buddhist kingdom is sacred and flawless, extremely perfect, and all the living beings within it are lifelike, immortal and indestructible, neither increasing nor decreasing. Although it is only a projection, it contains an immortal aura.

"The Buddha's light shines!"

In an instant, the sound of Zen chanting rang out, and the shadows of thousands of Buddhas appeared, blessing the Buddha's kingdom, and then collided head-on with the heavenly punishment with endless power.

The heavenly punishment vanished into thin air, and the Buddhist kingdom collapsed. The eighth heavenly punishment was successfully overcome by Taoist Duobao in this way.

"The next part is the most difficult!"

It was unknown when the Taoist Jie Yin came out of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation. He looked at the shadow of the Buddha with his eyes full of obsession, as if he saw his own path.

"Amitabha!"

He chanted a Buddhist name and whispered, "There is the seal in the Buddha's heart, and there is the lotus under the Tathagata's feet!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeves, and the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit, the treasure of Buddhism, immediately flew towards the Buddha's phantom manifested by Duobao Taoist.

Duobao bowed slightly, nodded to the Taoist Jie Yin and said, "Thank you for the gift, Teacher!"

With the blessing of the Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit, Tathagata's golden body suddenly reached a higher level. The Buddha's light illuminated the universe, but he went straight into the final punishment from heaven.

However, the power of this heavenly punishment is far beyond people's imagination. Even a saint in his prime may not be able to block it.

"Boom!"

The golden body of Tathagata was shattered, and three of the twelve golden lotuses of merit were directly destroyed by heavenly punishment, leaving only the ninth golden lotus, which wrapped a trace of Duobao's true spirit.

"All things are impermanent, they are subject to birth and death. When birth and death are extinguished, nirvana is bliss!"

Just when everyone thought that Duobao had fallen, a mysterious Zen sound was heard in the void. The broken golden body of Tathagata, in full view of everyone, condensed into a Buddha relic that shone through the heavens. Buddha mists appeared from the sky, and Duobao's body and soul began to revive from extinction!
"Nirvana Silence!"

The Taoist Jie Yin looked excited.

Han Yi also saw this scene, but he was more concerned about the fact that only the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit was left.

"I didn't expect that even though Taoist Mosquito didn't show up, the Twelve-Rank Merit Golden Lotus still couldn't escape this disaster!" Han Yi exhaled gently, thinking to himself, "Using the future body to prove the truth of this world! Duobao's proof of the truth so early, I wonder what kind of changes it will bring to the prehistoric world?"

As for the news that Duobao was one of the six people behind the scenes, he had already accepted it. Even if the other party used him, he had no room for resistance.

After surviving the heavenly punishment, Duobao reversed cause and effect, turning the future into the present, and merging the Hunyuan Dao Fruit that he would cultivate in the future with his present body.

Today, Duobao has become a true Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, who has the ability to influence the pattern of the prehistoric world and determine the direction of the great trend of heaven.

Taoist Duobao was seen sitting on the ninth-grade golden lotus of merit, making the fearless seal of Buddhism, and said in a loud voice: "I knew in my early years that seeking the Tao is difficult, and the world is getting new every day. I learned the wonderful Dharma in the Green Travel Palace and listened to the Zen sound on Mount Xumi. There is no boat in the sea of ​​suffering, so I have to make my body a boat, and only after blowing away all the wild sand can I reach the gold. Today I have jumped onto the shore of the Tao, and I will not let down the truth or my heart!"

The Buddha's light spread throughout the ten directions and three times, the sound of Zen resounded through the universe, ripples appeared in the long river of time and space, and countless sentient beings chanted the name of this new saint.

Many Treasures Tathagata!

In the Xuanmen school, he is Duobao Tianzun; in the Buddhist school, he is Tathagata Buddha. In the past, present, and future, on the infinite timeline, such a majestic figure appears!
"Praise to the Duobao Tianzun!"

"Praise to the Tathagata Buddha!"

"Greetings to the Tathagata!"

In an instant, countless praises and kowtows rang out from the void. There were disciples of Xuanmen, believers of Buddhism, and countless independent practitioners and ordinary people.

At this moment, Duobao was the center of everyone's attention. Even Houtu and Nuwa, who were fighting, stopped temporarily and nodded slightly towards him.

Suddenly, the ceiling collapsed, golden lotus emerged from the ground, and a terrifying pressure descended from the sky.

"Lying high on the nine-layer cloud, I have realized the truth of the Tao on my futon. Beyond the dark yellow of heaven and earth, I shall be the master of the sect. Pangu gave birth to Taiji, and the two yin and yang and four images followed. One Tao passed on to three friends, and the two sects were divided into Chan and Jie. The leader of the Xuanmen sect, one qi transformed into Hongjun."

Accompanied by boundless visions, the figure of Taoist Hongjun slowly appeared in the prehistoric world. At this moment, the time of the entire prehistoric world seemed to stand still. All the creatures in the prehistoric world could not move, and only a few saints were not affected.

"I've met the teacher!"

"I've met Master!"

The Taoist Jie Yin and the Taoist Duo Bao hurriedly bowed.

However, Daozu Hongjun ignored the two of them, but took a step forward and came to the outside of the Zhuxian Sword Formation: "Tongtian, put away the Zhuxian Sword Formation!"

Hearing this, Master Tongtian ignored the extremely embarrassed Yuanshi Tianzun, put away the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the God-killing Spear, the Qingping Sword, and the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus, and came to Daozu Hongjun: "Disciple greets the teacher!"

Zhunti Taoist looked into the void and bowed from afar: "Zunti of the Buddhist sect, greetings to the teacher, greetings to the Taoist ancestor!"

Yuanshi Tianzun also ignored his own image and bowed quickly, saying, "Disciple greets the teacher!"

Only the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors never lifted the Xiantian Bagua formation, trapping Taiqing Laozi tightly inside. Hongjun sighed and said, "Fellow Daoists, since you have obtained the Kongtong Seal, please let Taiqing out! I promise that he will not embarrass you again!"

"I will obey the Taoist ancestor's decree!"

With Hongjun as a guarantor, Fuxi immediately nodded slightly and disbanded the innate Bagua formation.

As soon as Taiqing Laozi got out of trouble, he immediately bowed to Hongjun and said, "Disciple greets the teacher!"

Hongjun looked at everyone and scolded them, "Look at you guys, you are fighting for the matter of deification, how can you still act like saints?"

"Disciple knows his mistake!"

Master Tongtian spoke first.

At this time, no matter what the reason is, the right thing to do is to admit your mistakes.

"Disciple knows his mistake!"

Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun also spoke quickly.

The saints of heaven who exist with heaven and with Tao, rule the universe and dominate the fate of all living beings, have gone through countless calamities without being worn out, and have not been stained by cause and effect, are now more humble than each other in front of Tao Ancestor Hongjun.

This is the Taoist Patriarch!
As soon as he opens his mouth, even a saint of heaven has to listen obediently.

He looked at Tong Tian Jiaozhu and Yuan Shi Tian Zun and scolded them, "There is no right or wrong in the dispute of the Great Dao. You two want to determine who is superior because of your respective Great Daos. There is nothing wrong with that! However, there are many ways to judge who is superior, but you two insist on bringing disaster to all living beings!"

Then, he looked at Taiqing Laozi and said, "As the eldest senior brother of Xuanmen, it would be fine if you didn't stop them, but why did you follow Yuanshi in making trouble?"

All three of them were silent.

After a long while, Yuanshi Tianzun finally spoke: "This matter is my fault! But Duobao and Tongtian forcibly modified the history that has already happened, which is against the order of heaven. Please punish them, Master!"

After Duobao became a saint, cause and effect became extremely clear. He could see at a glance that Duobao came from the future and forcibly reversed the situation of Jiejiao's defeat.

Hongjun shook his head: "There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of them are derived from the heavens, and one is missing. Everything is not static. Since Duobao has withstood the heavenly punishment, the heavenly way will not pursue this matter anymore!"

Then, Hongjun swept his eyes over the saints and said earnestly, "Back then, I taught you the way to become a saint in Zixiao Palace, but I didn't teach you how to become a qualified saint. That's my fault!"

"If the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's fault!"

"Yuanshi, you and Tongtian have come to this point today because your teacher neglected to discipline you!"

"From today on, the saints are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the calamity. After the deification, you will leave the primitive world and open up a temple in the chaos!"

The words of a sage are followed by the law, and their words carry the will of heaven. As the spokesperson of heaven, Hongjun, the ancestor of Taoism, represents the will of heaven with his every word and action.

His words are God's will!

Even if the saints are dissatisfied, they must follow the edict of Hongjun Daozu.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately pleaded, "Teacher, if I were not in Honghuang, I'm afraid that all of my disciples would be killed by Tongtian's disciples!"

Hongjun did not answer, but looked at Tongtian and asked, "Tongtian, what do you think?"

Tongtian Patriarch hesitated for a moment and sighed softly, "As long as Yuanshi stops bullying the weak and admits his mistakes, I can ask the disciples of Jiejiao to withdraw from the Conferred God Conferment and stop targeting the disciples of Chenjiao!"

Hongjun nodded, then looked at Yuanshi Tianzun: "Yuanshi, did you hear Tongtian's words?"

"Teacher, I..."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked very ugly.

Asking him to admit his mistake to Tongtian and admit that he lost would undoubtedly make him more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Ugh!"

Daoist Patriarch Hongjun saw this and couldn't help but sigh: "Those who don't plan for eternity are not worthy of planning for this life! A temporary win or loss cannot determine the height of the Dao! If you lose, you lose, there is nothing to be ashamed of! Find an opportunity and win it back! If you dare not admit it, you will fall behind!"

"is teacher!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was filled with shame, and immediately looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu and said, "This time, I lost! Jiejiao disciples are no worse than Chanjiao disciples! But, only this time! Next time, I won't lose again!"

"Anytime!"

Master Tongtian smiled faintly.

He knew that it was not easy to get Yuanshi Tianzun to say such words!

Then, Hongjun looked at Duobao again and said, "Since you have proved the truth with the Buddhist teachings, you should leave a legacy and let the wonderful teachings of Western Buddhism shine in the world!"

Since Duobao has already attained enlightenment as a saint, he naturally cannot continue to stay in the prehistoric world. He must follow the saints to open up a temple in the chaos.

"Yes!"

Duobao nodded quickly.

He took out the Nine-Rank Golden Lotus and gave it to the Guide Taoist: "I will cultivate a new Tathagata for the Buddhist sect, and will also teach the mysteries of Mahayana Buddhism to all of you without reservation! As for this Nine-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit, I will let the new Tathagata use the merits of the Western Great Prosperity to repair it! However, before that, please let me go back to Jiejiao!"

"Can!"

The guide nodded.

Duobao became a saint through Buddhist methods, which means he is a Buddhist saint. No matter how deep his connection with Master Tongtian is, this fact cannot be changed.

The saints returned to their respective temples to handle religious affairs and prepare to leave the prehistoric world.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race also returned to the Huoyun Cave with the Kongtong Seal.

After Daozu left, the time that had been stagnant in the prehistoric world began to return to normal. When he opened his eyes, he saw Tongtian Jiaozhu and Duobao Taoist.

He wanted to ask Taoist Duobao, but he didn't know where to start.

Taoist Duobao also saw his doubts and immediately took the initiative to speak: "Brother, before you came to this world, have you ever heard of returning to the world of mercy?"
