I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

Tearing off a part from the vast river of time may sound like an easy task,

However, even those Dao Lords who have already achieved the Dao Fruit and have attained unparalleled cultivation may not be able to accomplish this feat easily.

This not only requires extraordinary strength, but also requires a profound understanding and control of the laws of time and space.

However, since the Future Buddha has set such stringent requirements on the sixth level, this undoubtedly indicates that although this path is difficult, it is by no means an impassable dead end.

It seemed like a natural chasm, standing in front of Xie Que, but it also implied the hope of crossing it.

Xie Que's mind was now clear.

He knew very well that it was no accident that the future Buddha chose him as his successor, and this journey of spreading the Dharma would not be aimless.

Behind this, there must be an intricate cause and effect layout, as well as the high hopes and expectations that the future Buddha has placed on him.

Following this point, Xie Que quickly found the key to breaking through the difficulties.

And this so-called breakthrough, in his opinion, is the word "reckless".

But the "mang" here does not mean blind impulse or reckless behavior.

Instead, it is based on courage and decisiveness based on a deep insight into and confidence in one's own strengths.

Judging from Xie Que's strength distribution, what he is most proud of is his extremely strong physical strength.

Ever since he condensed the "Flower of the Body" and awakened the "Infinite Mixed Cave Body" this heaven-defying magical power,

His physical body had been pushed to an unprecedented height.

When the terms "Infinite Mixed Cave Body" and "Breakthrough Body" merged, Xie Que seemed to see the outline of his future.
An infinite mixed cave body with no upper limit... doesn't that mean infinite mass and the ultimate density?
With Xie Que's current vast size, he already possesses the power to suppress time and space in the real world.

Wherever this question is, the long river of time can become silent and inconspicuous within a specific area.

Imagine if this mass could be further expanded to near infinity, and the density would rise to an unimaginable extreme.

Then, wouldn't it be difficult to tear off a piece from this vast river of time?

Once this thought appeared in Xie Que's mind, it spread like wildfire, rapidly and could no longer be contained.

However, Xie Que felt somewhat uneasy and uncertain about this idea.

After all, this is a start in the long river of time, and if you are not careful, it may lead to unpredictable consequences.

But he knew very well that since the future Buddha had chosen him, there must be a deep meaning behind it, and he was willing to believe in this choice.

Of course, to achieve nearly infinite mass and density, the resources required are undoubtedly an astronomical figure, enough to make any monk feel desperate and powerless.

But Xie Que did not back down because he possessed two supreme skills, the Hongmeng Parasitic Art and the Dragon Snake Ringing World Sutra, which were enough to give him the upper hand in acquiring resources.

What's more, as a vast world, the Buddhist world has a profound foundation that is beyond the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

Xie Que believed that the resources of the Buddhist world were enough to support him in completing his task.

Moreover, he did not need to strip away hundreds of millions of years of Buddhist time like Dipankara Buddha did.

All he needed was a tiny fragment in the long river of time.

Thinking of this, Xie Que began to cultivate and expand those blood vessels-like blood vessels in large quantities.

Although his current growth rate is already amazing, it is still far from enough.

Xie Que knew that only by pushing the growth rate to a nearly infinite level could his size become nearly infinite.

Under the vast and desolate land of the Buddhist world, these blood vessels continue to extend like greedy tentacles, incorporating every inch of land in the Buddhist world into their territory.

This made the already silent Buddhist world even more dead silent and depressing.

However, it was this expansion at all costs that allowed Xie Que to harvest several more Buddha Fires within just a few months.

When these Buddha fires met each other, they naturally merged together.
Inside Xie Que's true spirit, it transformed into a cluster of flames that was even larger and more dazzling.

Even so, Xie Que still couldn't get a glimpse of the essence of this Buddha fire.

The only feeling this Buddha fire gave him was that it was like a living thing.

Or rather, they are more like eggs, with something seeming to be hatching inside.

Xie Que had no idea about this and couldn't guess what was inside.

All he could do now was to keep collecting and making the Buddha Fire in his True Spirit stronger and stronger.
He believed that one day, when the Buddha fire reached a certain critical point, it would break out of the shell.

By then, Xie Que would naturally know what this Buddha fire represented.

Under such terrifying expansion, Xie Que's size and strength are also constantly expanding and growing.

What annoyed Xie Que was that even if he compressed his Wuji Hundong body to a very small size,

Even though its density can be compressed to the extreme, it still cannot shake the river of time in the slightest.

This feeling of failure made Xie Que fall into deep self-doubt.

He began to question whether he was heading in the right direction and whether he was on a path that was doomed to failure.

But if this method cannot tear apart the long river of time, what else can I do?

Do dragons and snakes circulate in the world?

However, even the Eyes of Zhulong would not be more powerful than the Wuji Hundong Body, and it also could not tear apart the long river of time.

Although Xie Que did not succeed in tearing the River of Time apart, its size was increasing day by day.
The blood vessels underground are like vines growing wildly in spring, becoming more lush and unstoppable.

Especially with the surge in the number of blood vessels, they are like stars, spread across every corner of the Buddhist world, and their reproduction and branching speed is astonishingly fast.

Especially as time went on, Xie Que had more and more blood vessels, and the number of blood vessels that could reproduce and branch out became more and more frequent and faster.

Xie Que's power was increasing at an almost exponential rate.

Now he has swallowed up nearly one ten-thousandth of the Buddhist world.
Although this is only one ten-thousandth of the total volume, it is still quite astonishing.

You know, this is only one ten-thousandth of the Buddhist world, but its size is huge enough to be compared with several small worlds like the Little North Sea World.

And the three thousand worlds under the rule of the Buddha, those seemingly prosperous places,
In fact, they are just some "debris" from the broken earthly world.

The true earthly immortal world is in no way inferior to the Buddhist world in size.

However, Xie Que's expansion path will not be endless.

As he swallowed up those barren, desolate and sparsely populated "no man's land" one by one, his expansion speed would naturally slow down.

After all, the Buddhist world is not empty.
Those quasi-Daoguo people hiding in the dark may be observing all this quietly, and maybe the Buddha is among them now.

Now, he did not attack the blood vessels just because his fate was void. If he was too arrogant, someone might take the risk and destroy his blood vessels.

On the other side, Xie Que's real body returned to the Maha Realm.

The various sects that were ready to launch a war with the Mingguang Realm,
After the Buddha's disciple returned safely, he naturally paused and prepared to follow his instructions.

Yang Zhiyuan did not hide the destination of his and the Buddhist disciples from anyone, which also showed that the Buddhist world can travel freely through the long river of time.

Therefore, no one was worried about Xie Que's safety, and no one went to the Buddhist world to look for him.

After all, the vastness of the Buddhist world is simply horrifying.

Even if it was a celestial monarch from the other shore, who continuously jumped through the void,

It would probably take tens of millions of years to visit all the continents in the Buddhist world.

If they enter the Buddhist world and want to find someone, it would be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

After returning to Wuyin Temple, before Xie Que had time to catch his breath, Guan Qi came to pay him a visit impatiently.

His face was solemn and anxious:

"Buddha, before leaving this Maha Realm and setting foot on the other side, the old Buddha left some items behind and asked us to hand them over to you personally after you return."

Xie Que's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

Why didn’t Guan Qi hand these items over to me before?
What are your considerations, or are you doubting your identity?
However, Guan Qi's next words quickly dispelled all his concerns.

"The old Buddha once left a will, saying that these items can only be delivered to you when you, the Buddha, return safely from the Buddhist world."

Upon hearing this, Xie Que felt relieved and nodded slightly.

As the agent of the future Buddha in the long river of time, the old Buddha naturally possesses extraordinary predictive abilities.

It is not surprising that he could know something about the future and foresee his own arrival.

When Xie Que took the object presented by Guan Qi and took a closer look, he found that it was just a seemingly ordinary medicine jar.

However, there is a vivid and lifelike picture painted on the medicine jar: the sun and the moon are shining together in the sky, and on the ground there seems to be a monk in a cassock, concentrating on pounding medicine and decocting it into a soup.

This picture seems to contain some deep meaning.

Xie Que only took a quick glance at it, and the three words "Medicine Buddha" involuntarily emerged in his mind.

Medicine Buddha, this great being known as the "Master of the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli" in Buddhism,

With endless compassion and wisdom, we save all living beings and eliminate disease and suffering.

In the ancient legends and the classics that Xie Que had read,

Medicine Buddha is often revered as the predecessor of Maitreya Buddha.

Before he became a Buddha, he made twelve great wishes with a heart full of compassion, wishing that there would be no more disease and pain in the world and that all demonic obstacles would be eliminated.

It is this deep compassion and grand vow that makes him honored as "Medicine Buddha" and revered by all Buddhas as "Medicine Tathagata".

At this moment, the picture painted on the medicine jar in Xie Que's hand, and the person on the ground, was undoubtedly the Medicine Buddha.

He is dressed in a cassock and has a compassionate face. He is concentrating on pounding medicine and decocting soup, as if he wants to turn his compassion into endless nectar and sprinkle it on the world to save all living beings.

The sun and moon in the sky symbolize the Sunlight Bodhisattva and the Moonlight Bodhisattva.
As the two attendants of Medicine Buddha, they guard this pure land and save all sentient beings together with Medicine Buddha.

Xie Que held the medicine jar, which was slightly larger than his fist, in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Its color is simple and its texture is steady. Judging from its color and texture, it should be made of bronze.

However, this bronze is not an ordinary thing. There is nothing special about it. It seems to be the most common and inconspicuous bronze ware.

Xie Que tried to feel the presence of spiritual energy from it, but found nothing.

This made him wonder in his heart, is this medicine jar really just an ordinary bronze artifact?

He used various methods to test, from the most basic touch and weight,
He used more advanced magical powers to investigate, and even used the technique of cosmic light retracing, in an attempt to find the secret of the medicine jar.

However, all tests showed that this was just an ordinary bronze artifact, without the slightest aura of a magical weapon.

Even more surprising is that, according to Guan Qi,

Even after more than 300,000 years, under the erosion of time,
This bronze artifact also shows no signs of damage, as if it could transcend time and last forever.

Therefore, this seemingly ordinary medicine jar must be hiding some unknown secret.

After all, it was made by the Buddha, so how could it be an ordinary thing?
Xie Que secretly wondered in his heart, what kind of profound meaning is hidden in this medicine jar?
Why did the old Buddha give me this ordinary-looking object just when I returned from the Buddhist world?

According to Guan Qi, this medicine jar has maintained its current form for more than 300,000 years, a fact that really puzzled Xie Que.

He tried his best to uncover the mystery of the medicine jar, but found that no matter how he tested it, it seemed ordinary and there was nothing unusual about it.

However, according to common sense, even the toughest bronze ware would not be able to withstand the erosion of such a long time and remain immortal.

Guan Qi once had the same doubt, but the fact was before him: this medicine jar had indeed survived three hundred thousand years of wind and rain and was still intact.

What's even more bizarre is that when Xie Que tried to use the Art of Cosmic Light to accelerate his aging process,
This medicine jar, like any other bronze vessel, quickly decayed.
It seems that this quality of being able to remain constant and motionless only appears under certain conditions.

Once it is washed by the light of the universe, it will vanish into nothingness in a very short time.

No more than three thousand years of cosmic light would turn it into a pool of copper powder.

Xie Que sat in meditation, trying to explore the secret of the medicine jar through the study of things.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he failed to achieve anything.

In desperation, he began to read the relevant scriptures of Medicine Buddha, hoping to find a clue in them.
However, even after reading many books, he was unable to solve the mystery of the medicine jar.

Just when Xie Que was about to put the matter aside for the time being, Yang Zhiyuan arrived at Wuyin Temple.

Although he had never seen the relics left by the old Buddha, he had heard about them.

Therefore, he asked curiously, "Buddha, what exactly is that thing that the old Buddha left behind?"

The words were full of curiosity and desire for the unknown.

Xie Que shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "I don't know either."

"But you said...is there anything in this world that can survive the passage of time without decaying, but is shattered into pieces by a single swipe of the cosmic light?"

Yang Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment: "It has not decayed after years... but it was dispersed by the light of the universe..."

"What you are talking about...isn't it the Cosmic Light itself?" (End of this chapter)
