Nightmare Era

Chapter 246 Goodbye, Treasure-Xiang Tathagata
Pure Yang is the foundation of human beings and the mother of immortality.

Yang Ning was very happy, but it was not because of the improvement in strength, but because after passing through three tribulations, before becoming an immortal, there would be no such uncontrollable catastrophes for cultivators.

For Yang Ning, the road ahead is smooth.

Because of this, he really has the possibility to kill his enemies with his own hands, instead of hiding in the dark and using some shady methods to plan.

But after the excitement, Yang Ning felt that there was nothing wrong with this. There were people outside the world, and there was a sky outside the world. If you were too showy, you might offend someone at some point.

Do you think that a sect as powerful as Taiheng Sect will also decline in your own hands?

Is this what the head of Taiheng Sect can think of?

There is a saying in Honghuang novels that says that beneath the saints, all are ants.

There are only a few people in this world who don't need to be strict. If we haven't reached the realm where I am the only one in the world, being more cautious is definitely not a bad thing.

"The speed of the donor's cultivation really shocked the poor monk!" A gentle voice sounded beside Yang Ning.

Yang Ning was much calmer this time, and just smiled slightly: "There are differences between people. How can I be measured by the speed of ordinary people's cultivation?"

"The poor monk has never looked at you the same way he looks at ordinary people!" The Tathagata of Treasures came out of the void quietly and recited another Buddha's name: "It seems that the poor monk did not choose the wrong person. The next Buddhist World Honored One, you He is the most suitable candidate!”

"You have always been here?" Yang Ning asked: "Do you have a Taoist skill that you are hiding from me?"

He also learned the Great Merit Technique, the Great Induction Technique, and the Great Purifying Technique. He also disassembled magical powers and introduced new ones, creating many new Taoist techniques.

But among these Taoist techniques, there is not one magical power that can still hide oneself in the void despite being banned by Jedi Heavenly Powers.

So it is obvious that the inheritance left by this Buddha in Taiheng is lacking!

"I know you hate knowledge blockade, but you can't blame me!" Baoxiang Tathagata clasped his hands together and said in a gentle voice: "Ordinary people need to use their souls to perceive and remember every word to practice magical powers. A peerless magical power only requires a few seconds. Ten years of work, assembling talismans and condensing golden elixirs, are all extremely labor-intensive. So just use enough magical power, but passing it on too much may not necessarily be a good thing!"

"That's because they are stupid and don't know how to adapt!" Yang Ning said lightly: "Cultivating magical powers requires rote memorization, but the step of refining talismans and golden elixirs can be deduced outside the body and then condensed in the body."

"The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can use tools, but immortal cultivators don't know this. They immerse themselves in seclusion and don't ask for external things at all. If they don't have difficulty, who will have difficulty!"

Baoxiang Tathagata clasped his hands together and said: "The world is stupid and regards the master's book as a golden rule. How can they dare to do things that are not written in it? This is why the poor monk values ​​you, the donor!"

Yang Ning understood that this was a thought that was solidified by a larger thought, just as Confucianism imprisoned China for 2000 years. Without the spread of foreign ideas in the late Qing Dynasty, this imprisonment might have lasted another 500 years.

Before the mind was open, the entire civilization was in ignorance. It took nearly 170 million years for the people on earth to go from ignorance to the feudal era.

After the advent of writing, the development of civilization suddenly accelerated. It took less than 4000 years to evolve from the ancient savagery era to the wind and sword era.

After opening up our minds, in just a few hundred years, humans have already moved from the earth to the moon.

This evolution is called the Big Explosion of Technology in "The Three-Body Problem".

In the previous 30 years, Taiheng was in an era similar to the feudal era.

This place is more terrifying than Earth, because no matter how conservative a person is on Earth, they will all die.

But Taiheng is not necessarily so.

The immortals were aloof and controlled all the resources. At the same time, they did not know how to adapt, so they extended the feudal era indefinitely, so that no progress could be seen at all.

Even if Tianyi Sect promoted the world's progress a little bit, when the vested interests of Tianyi Sect grew up, they began to become complacent and no longer pursued progress.

As a result, Taiheng stagnated for another 4000 years. It was not until the arrival of Yang Ning that the progress of civilization restarted again.

"Since you have observed me for so long, you should have figured out that I am a materialist. I am not interested in Taoist or Buddhist thoughts. I am only interested in the fundamental principles of the world, the mystery of spiritual energy, and the mystery of supernatural powers. , interested in the progress of science and technology. I am not suitable for Buddhism. If I move into Buddhism, then the present of Daxia will be the future of Buddhism!"

Baoxiang Tathagata understands what Yang Ning means. He acknowledges the beautiful things in human nature such as truth, goodness and beauty, but is not interested in illusory retribution, cause and effect, and does not like all kinds of rules and precepts.

If he takes over Buddhism, he may transform Buddhism into another Daxia.

What is Daxia like?

The emperor and ministers are all decorations for outsiders to see, but in fact it is AI running the country.

But because AI is fair and impartial and never bends the law for personal gain, it has led to a harmonious government in Daxia and the happiness and well-being of the people.

Although we are still a little poor now, we already have the appearance of a Buddhist country on earth.

Baoxiang Tathagata was confused.

He traveled around the world in all directions and met countless talented people as bright as stars.

But no matter in terms of talent, courage, structure, thoughts, or even methods and strategies, no one can compare to Yang Ning.

Precious Appearance Tathagata believes that if Buddhism has such a World Honored One, he will definitely be able to lead Buddhism to continue for hundreds of thousands more years.

But what kind of materialist is this person? He is a person who can see the essence through phenomena. There is no way he can become a Buddhist World Honored One.

If he becomes the World Honored One, Buddhism will cease to exist.

After a long silence, Baoxiang Tathagata asked: "If you unified Taiheng, what would you do with Buddhism?"

"Close Buddhist temples, seize fertile farmland, inherit and confiscate, put it into schools, and record your thoughts for future generations to study!" Yang Ning said lightly: "Technical magical powers can be passed on, and thoughts can peel off the veil of preaching and become pure."

His opponent was never just one Taiheng, but the feudal forces on the entire Taixing.Therefore, the two major Buddhist forces on Taixing will face each other sooner or later.

It is impossible to stay. If the revolution is not complete, it will be very difficult for future generations to solve it.

"Alas" Baoxiang Tathagata sighed and asked, "Does the donor know what the immortal is practicing?"

"Cultivation of Immortal Qi?" Yang Ning asked.

He is not a true immortal, so of course he doesn't know, but presumably he has replaced the spiritual energy he swallowed with immortal energy?
Baoxiang Tathagata shook his head: "Immortal, you are cultivating the Tao!"

"Tao?" Yang Ning was stunned.

"Tao is human, Tao is earth, Tao is heaven, man follows earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, Tao follows nature!" said the Treasure-Xiang Tathagata.

"Can I explain it in vernacular?" Yang Ning asked.

He believed that if Baoxiang Tathagata had been watching him for more than 20 years, there would be no problem in using a vernacular text.

Baoxiang Tathagata is well-behaved and does not roll his eyes, but he does follow the good deeds: "Tao is the law of the natural operation of all things in the world, and the three talents of heaven, earth, and humans are the main ones among all things in the world, so Tao is divided into human Tao and earth Tao. God’s way!”

"Humans are not two hands and two feet, but all living creatures in the world. Dragons are human beings, trees are human beings, monkeys are human beings, deer are human beings, and birds are also human beings! In relation to human beings, the way for all living beings to live in harmony with each other is Be humane!”

"The earth is not the earth under our feet, but the nature that we see, hear, and feel. The sky is the earth, the earth is the earth, the sun and the moon are the earth, and the stars are also the earth! The sun, the moon, the stars, the roads of mountains, rivers, and lakes are all For the sake of authenticity!”

"Heaven is not the sky above your head, but a realm of nothingness. It encompasses everything and tolerates nothing. The way of heaven is hidden in the mountains, rivers, sun and moon. Naturally, the law of heaven is the most difficult to understand, and it is also the strongest way!"

Yang Ning blinked, so this is how the world is divided?

Then humanity should include social science literature, ethics, law, politics, economics, religion, biology and other humanities and social sciences.

Authentic, it should include astronomy, geography, physics, chemistry, and other physical, chemical, and biological subjects.

As for the way of heaven, it is said to be everywhere, invisible and intangible. Could it be mathematics?

But you tell me this
Yang Ning knew the reason.

Since religion is the law of humanity, it also means that there are immortals or Bodhisattva Arhats who follow this path!

If Yang Ning touches the Buddhist heritage in the lower realm, he may offend the Bodhisattva who cultivates Buddhism in heaven.

Baoxiang Tathagata was actually reminding him!
"Isn't it true that immortals can't interfere with the mortal world?" Yang Ning asked: "Even if I change Buddhism or even destroy the inheritance, what can the immortal Buddhas in the sky do to me?"

Baoxiang Tathagata's eyes popped out. He was indeed a strong man who dared to plan to destroy the Taiheng Sect at the first level of Qi Refining. He was not afraid of the immortals at all!
"Who did you hear that immortals cannot interfere in the mortal world?" Baoxiang Tathagata asked.

"Well, a senior said it!" Yang Ning said.

It was Hengming who said that those who ascended never came down again, and the news was cut off.

Baoxiang Tathagata shook his head: "The ascended ones are not allowed to go down to the lower world. It is an agreement between the immortals, not the law of heaven. And you also know that such an agreement can only imprison the ordinary people. If the golden immortal, Yuanxian, and Tianzun want to go down to the lower world, Who is going to prohibit it?”

It's true.

In other words, Taiheng Immortal Lord is not doing well in heaven?
Think about it, 30 years is a long time for mortals, but for immortals it is just a blink of an eye. It may take 30 years for a person to retreat. This amount of time cannot improve much cultivation.

So, if I destroy Buddhism, will it be possible for Bodhisattva to descend to the lower realm?

Is it that serious? What I destroyed was not the entire Buddhist sect, but only two inheritances of Taiheng.

"You have a strong will, and I know I can't persuade you!" Baoxiang Tathagata patted Yang Ning on the shoulder: "I just hope you will think more about it when encountering problems. Maybe the Buddha is too generous to care about you, but maybe the Buddha has a small belly and chicken intestines. I insist on killing you on earth!"

"If it's your words, a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall. If it is not necessary, let Taiheng Buddhism go!"

With that said, Baoxiang Tathagata was about to turn around and leave.

"You won't kill me?" Yang Ning asked in shock.

"Why do I want to kill you?" Baoxiang Tathagata asked.

"Nip the danger in the cradle!" Yang Ning said: "Instead of relying on my kindness, it would be better to kill me directly, right?"

"You have practiced the art of great cause and effect. Even a poor monk doesn't know if the person in front of you is the real you!!" Baoxiang Tathagata smiled and said: "Besides, although you and I have different traditions, we are both outstanding people after all. Maybe one day we will meet in heaven. , there’s still time to ask for help!”

"There are very few people who can reach the top. Compared with the sect, we are the same kind!"

Yang Ning was silent.

"Let's go!" Baoxiang Tathagata waved his hand, as if he had just met Yang Ning, and did not mention any invitation to Yang Ning to be the World Honored One.

Yang Ning really thought he had given up, until he discovered half an hour later that the 36 spiritual avatars of Diluo Temple had also been taken away by Baoxiang Tathagata.

Among them are not only famous monks such as Shenxiu, Huineng, Tripitaka, and Hongyi, but also great powers in novels such as Tathagata, Samantabhadra, Guanyin, and Fahai.

It seems that Treasure Appearance Tathagata has also realized that if you can't take away the deity, it's the same as taking away the clone. Could it be that if the clone encounters difficulties as the World Honored One, won't the deity take action?

In exchange, Baoxiang Tathagata left behind a true sutra: "The Sutra of Vacuum"

It is the magical power he uses to hide in the void and stalk, and he can use the magical power of space under the Jedi Heavenly Power to move the sea of ​​stars. This magical power is also at work.

The Tianyi Sect's Divine Thunder of Destruction can indeed isolate space magical powers, but foreign monks like to recite sutras, and the "Vacuum Sutra" is not inherited from Taiheng, so the Divine Thunder of Destruction cannot target them!
