Chapter 2294 - 2294 He"s Back!
2294 He’s Back!
The Martial Dao Prime Body was here to save someone, not to kill.
The monks of Asura Monastery were conflicted because of the feud between Buddhists and fiends. However, at the end of the day, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not have any deep feud with these monks.
Su Zimo was a scholar. Although his heart was like a ferocious person, he was not a bloodthirsty person.
It was different for Heavenly Wolf.
!!
He was the Seven Emotions Fiend King to begin with and had followed Emperor Bo Xun to kill countless people in the Fiend Domain.
Be it in his previous life or now, Heavenly Wolf could be considered as a pure fiend. If Heavenly Wolf were to attack, countless living beings in Asura Monastery would die!
The two Black Immortal monks were scared out of their wits and could only watch helplessly as the Martial Dao Prime Body and the gigantic Heavenly Wolf pa.s.sed above their heads, not daring to stop them.
“Who is there? How dare you barge into Asura Monastery!”
“Halt!”
The commotion caused by the monastery’s door shattering spread into the monastery before long. Figures appeared one after another at the front, speeding over with powerful auras.
The Martial Dao Prime Body swept his spirit consciousness and it was clear that the cultivations of these monks were much stronger. However, the strongest of them were only Grade 9 Earth Immortals.
“You guys can’t stop me. Just disperse.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said indifferently and waved his sleeves gently, releasing an incomparably powerful power that enveloped down.
The dozens of monks at the front fell from midair before they could arrive.
The monks landed on the ground without any injuries.
However, everyone seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force of a billion pounds and could not soar into the air. They could only watch as the two of them and the wolf continued forward.
“Amitabha!”
Before long, the Martial Dao Prime Body heard a divine Sanskrit sound in the world. It sounded slowly with lingering echoes that struck one’s heart.
The Buddhist proclamation was a secret skill targeted at the Dao Heart and wanted to shake the Dao Heart of the Martial Dao Prime Body!
Because Yan Beichen was unconscious, the Buddhist proclamation had no effect on him.
As for Heavenly Wolf, he was once the Seven Emotions Fiend King and his Dao Heart was even more unshakable.
The fact that the Martial Dao Prime Body could condense the tenth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs meant that such impacts to the Dao Heart were nothing to him!
In the monastery at the front, figures soared into the air one after another. There were hundreds of monks and they were all Heaven Immortals. Their leader wielded a Buddhist staff and had a benevolent expression, his eyes filled with compa.s.sion.
The Martial Dao Prime Body stood above Asura Monastery and released his spirit consciousness that extended continuously, enveloping Asura Monastery completely and reflecting everything in the monastery in his heart.
The few accomplished monks with the highest cultivation realms in Asura Monastery were all Grade 9 Heaven Immortals.
The old monk in the middle wielded a Buddhist staff. From his attire and bearing, he should be the abbot of Asura Monastery.
In other words, Asura Monastery should only be a black-grade sect!
Of course, deep underground in the monastery ahead, there was a faint but powerful aura of life.
However, the lifeforce fluctuation was almost imperceptible, as though it was asleep.
“Strange.”
A doubt rose in the heart of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
Great Tie Wei Mountain was the border of the Pure Land of Bliss and was the closest to Tie Wei Mountain—this was a unique location.
The fact that such a monastery was established here but was only a black-grade faction without any Perfected Immortal experts was strange to begin with.
“Patron, the Pure Land of the Buddhist monasteries lies ahead. Please return the way you came.”
The abbot of Asura Monastery said in a deep voice, “Patron, if you’re willing to lay down your butcher’s knife, Asura Monastery is willing to guide you. You can convert to Buddhism and wash away your filth as well as sever your ties to the mortal world.”
The abbot of Asura Monastery lowered his head. However, there was a compa.s.sionate glint in his eyes and his voice contained a divine might that was deafening!
The lowered glance of a Bodhisattva!
This was a supreme secret skill of the Buddhist monasteries!
There was a saying in the Buddhist monasteries that the enraged gaze of the Vajra could not match the lowered gaze of the Bodhisattva.
Back then, Buddha could purify many peerless fiends with a single sentence—it was clear how shocking this secret skill was!
However, the Martial Dao Prime Body’s Dao Heart was immovable. Even if Buddha was reborn, it was unknown if the Martial Dao Prime Body could be converted, let alone this abbot of Asura Monastery before them!
The Martial Dao Prime Body extended his fair hands that were sparkling like jade and asked, “I don’t have a blade in my hands. How can I lay down the butcher’s knife?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body barged into Asura Monastery without killing anyone and his hands were not stained with blood.
“You’re wrong.”
The abbot of Asura Monastery had a calm expression as he smiled gently. “The so-called butcher’s knife does not refer to the blade in one’s hands. Instead, it refers to malice, evil words and actions. There’s also all sorts of delusions, confusion, inversion of facts, attachments and obsessions. Those are the blades in your heart, Patron!”
“The reason why I ask you to lay down the butcher’s knife and convert to Buddhism is so that you can let go of your delusions, obsessions and attachments! In that sense, you can become a Buddha right away!”
“Abbot, have you let go of your attachments?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body asked indifferently.
Without waiting for the abbot of Asura Monastery to reply, the Martial Dao Prime Body continued asking, “If you’ve given up on attachments, why are you harping about Buddhists and fiends? Why are you stopping me from entering the Pure Land of Bliss?”
The abbot of Asura Monastery still had his head lowered. However, the white brows on his eyes twitched slightly—it was clear that he was emotional.
Although both parties did not attack, the exchange of words was also a form of clas.h.!.+
This was considered a wise Dao discussion of the Buddhist monasteries.
When the abbot of Asura Monastery saw that the Martial Dao Prime Body could react so quickly and say that, he knew that the other party’s comprehension of Buddhism was definitely not weaker than his!
“I’m here with no ill intentions. I’m only here to save someone.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body continued, “There’s a saying in the Buddhist sutras that saving a life is better than building a seven-storied paG.o.da. If you refuse to let me into the Pure Land of Bliss because of your attachments, the blade in your heart is the true invisible killer!”
“If you insist on stopping me, abbot, your obsession is probably not weaker than mine.”
The abbot of Asura Monastery took a deep breath and tried his best to compose himself as he recited sutras to calm himself down.
Against the sharpness of the Martial Dao Prime Body, his Dao Heart had already wavered!
The Martial Dao Prime Body continued, “In addition, I’m puzzled. A supreme fiend who has killed countless people can become a Buddha the moment he lays down his butcher’s knife. What about the innocent souls that died in his hands?”
“Some people have done countless good deeds. However, as long as they commit a mistake, they will be scolded by thousands of people immediately, let alone given a chance to convert to Buddhism. What logic is that?”
“Why are you guys so benevolent to fiends while so harsh to all other living beings in the world?”
Those words were like sharp swords that pierced the Dao Heart of the abbot of Asura Monastery!
His accusations shook the foundational beliefs of many Buddhist monks!
The abbot of Asura Monastery’s expression changed starkly and his body swayed, almost unable to stand in midair. He looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body with fear in his eyes.
The silver mask of the Martial Dao Prime Body was cold the entire time and he did not reveal any emotions.
However, at that moment, the abbot of Asura Monastery seemed to be able to see the dignified, divine and benevolent face of a Dharma Characteristic on the silver mask!
A halo seemed to blossom behind the head of the Martial Dao Prime Body and Buddhist light enveloped it.
However, the eyes of the Martial Dao Prime Body were deep as an abyss, as though they contained immense fiend power!
“A Buddha from the Fiend Domain…”
The abbot of Asura Monastery’s voice trembled slightly.
“A Buddha and fiend within the same body, coexisting as one…”
In the memories of Asura Monastery, the last person from the Fiend Domain who had such an understanding of Buddhism was the legendary Emperor Bo Xun!
“He’s back! He’s back!”
The abbot of Asura Monastery roared as though he had gone mad, “Bo Xun is back!”
