Martial Arts: Immortality Begins from The Deer and the Cauldron

Chapter 902 Winning over
  The story of the Emperor Chengtian's promotion to the Golden Immortal in the West Ji Tiandou Battle spread quickly among the heavens after the Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and Laojun each sent envoys to send him congratulatory gifts.

Immediately, gods from all walks of life rushed to the Xiji Emperor Palace to offer congratulatory gifts to the Xiji Emperor.

Qin Ran also held a banquet in the imperial palace to entertain guests from all walks of life.

Many gods, such as the gods on the list of gods, had no leisure due to their duties, so they left after sending congratulatory gifts. Those who could stay and have a drink were mostly from the Xiaoyao Immortal Family, especially those who were born in the human world - Qin Ran ascended the throne of the Emperor of the West as a loose cultivating immortal family in the human world. For those immortal families who were born in the human world, it was also Feeling proud.

Therefore, when he was promoted to Golden Immortal, the congratulatory gifts sent by those immortal families who were born in the human world were particularly generous, and their congratulations were more sincere.

The three great saints, the Bull Demon King, the Macaque King, and the Rong King, who had competed with Qin Ran for the title of Emperor of the West Pole, also personally sent congratulatory gifts, and all stayed in the West Pole Palace to have a banquet.

.

Xiji Imperial Palace, Chengtian Hall.

In the main hall, Qin Ran was sitting high on the throne, looking at the various immortals at the banquet below. Among them were long-famous demon immortals such as the Great Sage Bull Demon King of Pingtian, and rising stars such as the Dragon Prince Moang of the South China Sea. , there was a lot of emotion in my heart for a while.

"After being promoted to the Golden Immortal, the attitudes of the various gods towards me have become completely different.

"Those who were in awe of me before now worship me even more. This is the change brought about by one's own strength."

He held the wine cup in his hand, with a slight smile on his face, and said to himself: "Everyone in the world says that gods are good... Oh, how can mortals know that only gods with real strength are truly good! Without strength, in this heavenly court In the middle, I can only become a cannon fodder heavenly soldier! I practiced hard, shattered the void, and ascended to immortality. I thought I would be a member of the Xiaoyao Immortal Family from now on, but unexpectedly I only became a miscellaneous soldier under the command of the strong, and the demon sword killed the soul! Golden Immortal is so good , but...Da Luo is better, Hunyuan is even better! Nowadays, this prosperous hall full of guests is nothing more than a mirror, so I must not be complacent because my journey has just begun!"

There are so many gods and goddesses that it’s hard to stop drinking and feasting for a while. Immortal families from all walks of life mingled with each other, drank happily, talked and laughed, and the hall was extremely lively.

While the feast was in full swing, Sanskrit singing suddenly sounded in the hall. In the void, smallpox appeared in Pingping. On the ground, groups of golden lotuses suddenly emerged.

Flowers were falling from the sky, golden lotuses surged from the ground, and in the Sanskrit singing, a deep and deep male voice filled with compassion and inexplicable appeal resounded in the hall: "Buddha from the East congratulates the Emperor of the West for his promotion to the Golden Immortal. The monk presented congratulatory gifts to the emperor and congratulated the emperor of the West."

As he spoke, a Bodhisattva, sitting on the lotus platform, slowly flew into the hall from the open door of Chengtian Hall.

The person who came was none other than the Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva, one of the two great sages under the command of Maitreya, the Buddha from the east.

With the arrival of the Great Miaoxiang Bodhisattva, the bustling hall gradually became quiet. The immortals in the banquet stopped one after another and cast a playful look at the Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva. It is not a secret that the Emperor of the West is at odds with Buddhism. Almost all the gods and immortals in heaven know about it, as long as they have some connections and abilities.

Now the emperor of the West is promoted to the Golden Immortal, he is giving a banquet to guests and friends, and the Buddha from the east suddenly sends the Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva to offer gifts... What is the meaning of this?
  All the guests made their own guesses, waiting to see a good show.

Qin Ran's face remained unchanged, he looked at the Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva with a smile, and said harmoniously: "My promotion to the Golden Immortal is just a small matter. I didn't expect that even the Buddha from the east was alarmed and bothered the Bodhisattva to go this far. Come. I would like to thank the Buddha and the Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva from the east."

The Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva saluted Qin Ran who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty is serious. Your Majesty has been promoted to the Golden Immortal. This is a great joy for the three realms. The Buddha who came from the east had important matters and could not come in person, so before the poor monk went, the Buddha I specifically ask this poor monk to apologize to Your Majesty on behalf of the Buddha." "It's such a trivial matter, why does Bodhisattva need to be so polite?" Qin Ran chuckled, "Bodhisattva, please take a seat and have a banquet with all the guests."

The Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva added another tithe: "There is no hurry. Let the poor monk offer his congratulations to His Majesty first."

Qin Ran smiled and said: "The Bodhisattva came to congratulate you. If you have such intention, it is already a great gift. Why do you need to be so polite as sending a treasure?"

The Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva said calmly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. What the Buddha ordered the poor monk to present is not a common treasure..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand. In the palm of his hand, there was a square seal lying on it. The Buddha's light shone brightly on it. If he looked carefully, he could see that there was a small world hidden in the Buddha's light. There were mountains and water in it. There are seas and land, and there are all kinds of living things, and there are cities and towns.

Qin Ran looked at the seal and said with a smile, "What kind of treasure is this?"

"This is the seal of the Buddha King of that Buddhist country." Bodhisattva Great Wonderful Appearance said: "If you hold this seal, you can become the king of that Buddhist country and rule the world and billions of living beings."

After a pause, the Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva said in a subtle tone: "The Buddha from the east asked the poor monk to tell your majesty that the Golden Immortal is not the end of the road, but there is a mysterious world above it. And if you want to go to the next level, mastering one side is completely yours. It is an excellent shortcut to the heaven and earth. The Buddha who came from the east said that your Majesty has a deep spiritual power, and you can understand the Buddha's meaning..."

Qin Ran had a faint smile on his lips and looked at the Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva indifferently.

On the occasion of Qin Ran's promotion to the Golden Immortal title and a grand banquet to congratulate his guests and friends, the Buddha from the East sent the Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva to congratulate him in front of everyone with a Buddhist kingdom of heaven and earth... His desire to win over was obvious!
  However... Qin Ran was the emperor promoted by the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor promoted him precisely because he had a rift with Buddhism and was ruthless, and wanted to use him to fight against the increasingly influential Buddhism.

Maitreya, the Buddha from the East, wooed Qin Ran in public. Regardless of success or failure, it was a provocation to the relationship between the Jade Emperor and Qin Ran.

Immortals like Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Pagoda, who understood the subtle relationship between heaven and Buddhism, looked at Qin Ran with a look that was entertaining, half-smiling, to see how he was going to deal with it.

Will you accept it with joy or reject it outright?

"I accept the kindness of Buddha from the East." Qin Ran smiled and said lightly: "But this gift is too precious, and I feel ashamed to receive it. I also ask the Bodhisattva to bring this seal back and tell the Buddha from the East that I have How can I be the emperor of heaven and the Lord of Buddha in the Buddhist kingdom?"

As soon as Qin Ran said this, the Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva knew that the attempt of the Buddha from the East to win over the Emperor of the West had failed. He looked at Qin Ran deeply and saluted: "In this case, the poor monk retires. .”

Qin Ran said calmly: "Why does the Bodhisattva have to come and go in such a hurry? I am having a big banquet with guests and friends today. Since the Bodhisattva is here to congratulate us, it is better to have a glass of wine."

The Great Wonderful Appearance Bodhisattva said expressionlessly: "The poor monk is a monk and does not drink alcohol."
