Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 23: The Great Qin General's Star Shines, Kasyapa's Uneasy Feeling, and the Human Race's Secret

Because Ying Xuan refused the request to spread Buddhism to Daqin, Jiaye and his companions could not set foot in Xianyang City. They could only find a place outside the city and build a temple with the magical powers of Buddhism.

Of course, this temple itself is not simple. It is the manifestation of the Nianhua Secret Realm, one of the twenty-four secret realms of Lingshan. It was bestowed by Tathagata himself after Kasyapa worshipped Lingshan.

This world has blessed places, secret mountains and so on. Some of them were formed naturally by heaven and earth, or were formed after the death of a great master in ancient times.

Others were formed by powerful men of the time who used their supernatural powers to open up a space and let Mount Sumeru contain a mustard seed.

For example, the secret realm of Picking Flowers by Kasyapa was created by the Taoist master Duobao in the past. He was influenced by the Taoist saint Laozi, converted into a Buddha, crossed the sea to the west, and entered Lingshan, where he opened up the realm with his supernatural powers.

In Buddhism, there is a beautiful saying that "Buddha picked up a flower and Kasyapa smiled", which refers to the secret realm of picking up a flower.

This temple seems to be outside the city, but in fact it is far away from the real world and located in another space.

However, even though they were far away, with Kasyapa's cultivation level, he could still see Xianyang City.

At this moment, Kasyapa stared in the direction of Xianyang City and couldn't help frowning slightly.

In his sight, the sun was high in the sky above Xianyang City, scorching and fierce.

But even in the daytime, the stars in the sky are twinkling and shining brightly!
“It’s actually a star general!”

"how come?"

"The fate of the Great Qin has clearly reached its peak and is about to decline. This is what our master and many other great masters have deduced from the secrets of heaven, and it should not be wrong!"

"If that's the case, why are there changes now?"

Kasyapa's eyes flickered with some confusion as he stared at the shining star of the general.

This is not easy!
You must know that in the countless years in the human world, since the great catastrophe of the Conferred God, only a handful of people have appeared in the world and can light up the star of generals and become famous in the three realms.

According to the deduction of the powerful people in the three realms, the fate of the Qin Dynasty could only last until the second generation after the death of the First Emperor, and then it would decline.

If not for this, after the death of the First Emperor, when the Qin Dynasty was caught in internal and external troubles, only the Buddhist sect was ready to take advantage of this opportunity to spread its Dharma into the Qin Dynasty and reap the fortune and merits of the human race.

It was because various forces, through the deduction of the secrets of heaven by the powerful, knew that the Qin Dynasty would perish in the second generation and would not last long.

Although the appearance of a star general does not mean that the Qin Dynasty is showing signs of rejuvenation,

But this sudden shining star... seemed to be silently telling us that the Qin Dynasty was not doomed yet!
This made Kasyapa feel a little uneasy.

"Amitabha!"

Jiaye took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, clasped his hands together, and said softly: "I remember that there are still some things that have not been decided. The monks continue to recite the scriptures and chant the Buddha's name devoutly without making any mistakes."

"I will go ahead now."

After saying this, Kasyapa appointed a monk to take over the guarding role, and then, watched by the other monks, he stood up and left the Buddha hall.

This secret realm of picking flowers is extremely extraordinary. Although it looks like the size of a temple, it contains the heaven and earth, and is as vast as Mount Sumeru, which is beyond imagination.

When Kasyapa walked to the temple gate, he saw a giant tiger lying at the foot of the mountain. It seemed to sense someone coming. It raised its eyes and saw that it was Kasyapa. It then whispered, "Greetings, Arhat the Dragon Subduer!"

Jiaye nodded slightly, then walked past the giant tiger and came to the lake outside the mountain gate, looking at the figure sitting cross-legged by the lake. This figure was burly and strong, not like a monk, but more like a warrior.

It was Fu Hu, one of the Eighteen Arhats of Lingshan.

"Kasyapa?"

Fu Hu was a little surprised to see Jiaye coming, and then he glanced at the temple where the sound of chanting was still coming from, and asked, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong with your practice?"

The Buddhist practice paths and methods are unique. It is not through meditation, breathing in and out spiritual energy, refining magic power, or comprehending the great way of heaven and earth.

Instead, one can draw merit and power from reciting scriptures, improve one's own cultivation, and break through the realm.

Therefore, when practicing, Buddhist practitioners often gather many monks to recite scriptures together to increase the speed of their practice.

With this type of practice, even if the practitioner is not present or is not reciting the scriptures, he or she can still gain merit and power through the monks' chanting, thereby improving his or her practice.

Rather than being a spiritual practice, it is more like the monks contributing themselves.

A Buddhist practitioner is like a big insect sucking blood from a monk. By continuously sucking blood, it breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly, eventually achieving enlightenment.

"I just spied on Xianyang City and found a star of general lighting up. I felt uneasy, so I came to find you." Jiaye shook his head, looking a little solemn.

"General star?"

Fu Hu was stunned for a moment, remembering the previous court meeting when Ying Xuan intimidated all the officials with the power of two real dragons, and he couldn't help but frown.

Obviously, he also thought about the demise of the Second Emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the end of its luck. Then why would there be someone who could light up the star of a general?
“Will it be the swan song at the peak of prosperity?”

Fu Hu guessed, "After all, the Great Qin was the most prosperous period for the human race since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The Ancestral Dragon was called the Emperor, not the Human King or the Human Emperor. It is only natural that the situation in the Great Qin is different."

In ancient times, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, all the monarchs of the human race were mostly called Human Kings. They were blessed by the destiny of the human race and could not be invaded or harmed by immortals and gods, otherwise they would suffer retaliatory attacks.

During the great calamity of the Conferred Gods, when the war between Shang and Zhou was at its most intense, even the saints who were high above did not think of taking action against Emperor Xin, because Emperor Xin was the king of humans and was blessed by the destiny of the human race.

The biggest difference between the Human King and the Human Emperor is that the Human King cannot practice cultivation and is still subject to birth, aging, sickness and death, and the limits of his lifespan.

The Human Emperor is different. He can practice cultivation, and his path of cultivation is even broader than that of some innate gods.

The Three Emperors in human history achieved the realm of saints after practicing. After that, they sat in the Fire Cloud Cave, suppressing the destiny of the human race and protecting the human race.

In addition to the Three Sovereigns, the Five Emperors can also practice, but they are slightly inferior to the Three Sovereigns. It is rumored that they followed the Three Sovereigns to the Fire Cloud Cave and lived in seclusion.

The Great Qin Dynasty was founded by Zulong. Unlike all previous dynasties of the human race, Zulong abandoned the titles of Human Emperor and Human King, and with great perseverance, he recreated the glory of the ancient times of the human race, thus taking the names of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and calling himself the emperor.

This title was recognized by the destiny of the human race and formed the destiny of the Qin Dynasty. It allowed the emperor of Qin Dynasty to practice cultivation, not be limited by the lifespan of the human king, and break free from the constraints of the destiny of the human emperor.

what does this mean?
This means that an immortal ruler may appear in the vast territory of Daqin that borders all directions!
No shackles, no restraints!
Therefore, many powerful people in the three realms deduced the secrets of heaven and learned that the Qin Dynasty would perish in the second generation, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, how could the gods and Buddhas allow the Qin Dynasty to exist?

The Lingxiao Palace located above the thirty-three heavens would be the first to raise countless heavenly soldiers and generals to destroy the Qin Dynasty.
