Capítulo 2564: Chapter 257: The Highest, Part 2
“Thus, gradually understanding: water is divided into purification and turbidity, people into good and evil; purification and turbidity are distinct, good and evil are different, but in essence, they have never changed.”
“The Buddha’s mind has attachnts, no different from demons; if a demon’s heart is righteous, it can also beco a Buddha instantly. Clinging to the Buddha and demon, however, is falling into a lower path.”
“Therefore, the Void Demon Realm is, to , instead a path to enlightennt. The road is full of trials, but if one succeeds, one can attain Great Freedom.”
Wang Ba heard the words and was silent for a while.
He advised softly:
“The path to enlightennt is not only staying in the Void Demon Realm…”
Shen Fu’s face was calm, he smiled slightly, without saying much.
Just seeing Shen Fu’s smile, Wang Ba had words ready but in the end, paused slightly, shook his head without further persuasion, and sighed:
“Your path is not easy. In the future, while ascending to the Second Realm Sea, are you considered the Demon Dao, Buddhism, or Immortal Gate?”
Shen Fu’s expression remained calm:
“Beyond the heart, everything is nothing. Thank you for understanding, brother.”
Seeing Shen Fu’s decision made, Wang Ba could only sigh lightly.
He had always understood that due to his own experiences, Shen Fu’s heart was always entangled in the conflict between identity and inner self. Now he finally barely reached inner peace, though the way he did it was to simply embrace everything, which is actually another form of detachnt from all identities.
He accepted the identity of Xiahou Demon’s disciple in the Void Demon Realm and also accepted that he was not truly a person of the Demon Dao inside.
Everything was his cultivation practice.
This path, in the chaotic Second Realm Sea, is destined to face suppression from all directions… Perhaps realizing this result, he straightforwardly rejected Wang Ba’s invitation, which is also a layer of detachnt.
Though he understood, Shen Fu had already made his decision; he further knew that once Shen Fu decided, it would be difficult to change. Wang Ba could only make one last attempt:
“You really don’t want to return with ?”
Shen Fu smiled:
“If you can defeat the Supre True Buddha, please bring Bu Chan and Yi An; I do miss them a bit.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba could only sigh lightly…
…
Eastern Luli Buddha Realm.
Yan Poluo stared intensely at Kong Zen with a face full of helplessness, almost going mad:
“Buddha Lord, you, you’re really agreeing to open Duanhai Cliff?!”
Kong Zen replied sowhat impatiently:
“You’re not deaf. I’ve said it several tis, open Duanhai Cliff, then there’s a chance to defeat the Supre True Buddha. Do you not understand this reason?”
Hearing Kong Zen’s words, Yan Poluo continued to stare at him, with a few traces of furious betrayal in his eyes, almost rambling:
“But what about our Eastern Luli Buddha Realm?”
“Once Duanhai Cliff is opened, inside and outside will beco continuous, the Domain will struggle to remain stable, and the disciples inside, what will their future hold?!”
“Buddha Lord Tianyin initially insisted on pushing you to the position of Buddha Lord, but now you treat the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm like a worn shoe. Do you live up to Buddha Lord Tianyin’s esteem of you?”
Kong Zen was originally just impatient, but upon hearing the other’s words, his face turned somber, eyes coldly glaring at Yan Poluo.
Yan Poluo, though not Mahayana, seed embarrassed under Kong Zen’s gaze but did not retreat. Instead, he stiffened his neck and stared at Kong Zen without fear:
“Buddha Lord Tianyin told to ensure I assist you well before leaving, and I thought after experiencing the Buddha Lord Nirvana incident, you would understand so asure… I only ask you, you belittle our Luli Buddha Realm like this, have you ever considered the disciples within our Buddha Realm? Have you considered the Buddha Lord’s earnest support for you?”
Kong Zen’s face was rarely icy to the extre, coldly staring into Yan Poluo’s eyes.
After a brief silence, the coldness faded from his face, leaving only a touch of calmness, which even affected Yan Poluo, reducing his anger considerably.
Kong Zen calmly said:
“As Buddha Lord, I cannot ignore the safety of the Buddha Realm, but surviving now is paramount; otherwise, once the Buddha Realm is breached by the Supre True Buddha, everything else is moot.”
“As for the disciples of the Buddha Realm…”
He paused, looking into Yan Poluo’s eyes, and said indifferently:
“I have my ways, but there’s a premise: first, overco the barrier of the Supre True Buddha, at any cost.”
Yan Poluo, hearing this, was slightly stunned, sensing the rare seriousness in Kong Zen’s tone. He hesitated, finally slowly nodding:
“I understand, I will cooperate with you.”
Kong Zen did not speak, his gaze quietly fixed on the depths of Realm Sea.
He vaguely felt that there, an unimaginably vast shadow was brewing…
…
“We can’t delay any longer, even if we haven’t gathered enough people, we must quickly attempt to break through Duanhai Cliff!”
“I have notified fellow cultivators, many are rushing here quickly.”
Before the boundless high walls of Duanhai Cliff, after a brief preparation, several Mahayana gathered again.
At this mont, however, everyone’s face had a few degrees of solemnity.
They were already at the limit that Realm Sea could contain under normal circumstances, thereby faintly sensing the increasingly apparent sense of threat from the depths of Realm Sea.
This might be a warning from Realm Sea itself, sensing the danger.
Or that place of danger has grown so significant that even they, separated by distance, can faintly sense it.
And that place of danger, without doubt, is under Tianshang Buddha’s control, the completion of the three major Dharma Realms.
