Chapter 674 Sumeru Mountain (Part 2)
Since this time the spiritual platform appears was not a Dharma Assembly of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the power of the magic array on the spiritual platform is different from before, and there is another layer of formation power around all the magic array forces.
When the gods and Buddhas flying up in the heavens pass through this layer of formation, the people with the decree will not be affected by the formation at all. Although those without the decree are blocked by the formation, if they are strong enough, they can still break through the formation and pass through. After these Buddha worlds who pass through their own strength, they will take a token from the 21st Tara who is waiting in the formation and get the qualification to participate in the Dharma Assembly. This is also one of the methods for Bodhisattvas to test the qualifications of participants in this Dharma Assembly. If Xu Changqing had not done so many amazing things before, he had become a recognized powerful giant in the Buddha world, and perhaps he would have to go through this layer of formation test when he came here.
When the two arrived on the platform, there were already many people standing on the platform. In addition to the various Lingshan Masters who had just flew up, there were also brothers from the Bodhisattva. Although the Bodhisattva took advantage of this move to be favored, the people around him just turned a blind eye and did not interfere much. After all, it is a big deal that concerns the spiritual veins of the Buddha Realm, and there are still people who are petty about these trivial matters, which will only make everyone look down on them and their reputation will be ruined.
Since the spiritual vein of Sumi Lingshan has problems, the restrictions on entering Sumi Lingshan have become increasingly strict. Now it has become a harsh condition for those who are not great masters of Tathagata such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, and those who are not titled great masters and masters of various spiritual mountain Dharmas are not allowed to enter Sumi Lingshan, etc. Although the Bodhisattva uses his own advantages to occupy all the spiritual veins outside Sumi Lingshan and establish the inner nine vehicles of the heavenly temple, they still follow the rules in the Sumi Lingshan. The only difference is that qualified Bodhisattva Chengmen's disciples are free to enter and exit Sumi Lingshan, while other sects are more troublesome, need to go through some tedious procedures, and also limit the time to enter and leave. Although each sect has complained about this, there is no way. After all, the Bodhisattva Chengmen occupies the right time, place, and people, and cannot fight at all.
Although Sumi Lingshan is the ancestral mountain of the spiritual vein in the Buddha Realm, if we are speaking of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy of several spiritual mountains in the Buddha Realm is even better than that. Therefore, the reason why people from various sects of the Buddha Realm value Sumi Lingshan is not because of its spiritual energy, but because of the particularity of spiritual energy here.
Because there are two innate spiritual treasures in the heaven and earth that have existed since ancient times, the spiritual energy in Sumi Lingshan has a little more great aura than the spiritual energy of other spiritual mountains. For Buddhist practitioners who have always used convenient methods to improve their cultivation, this great aura is the key to whether they can cross the barrier. As long as they are exposed to such great auras for many years, the hidden dangers left by practicing convenient methods will be gradually eliminated, which can also make them more likely to understand their own natal auras.
Although the Sumi Lingshan Dharma Assembly was forced to be held because of an accident in the spiritual vein, it was also a grand event in the Buddhist world. However, in advance, news came from the powerful giants who set up temples in the spiritual vein. After the spiritual vein, the aura of great Taoism produced by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool and Bodhi Tree became much stronger, implying that each of the sects should take as many excellent disciples as possible to enter the Sumi Lingshan.
Although the Bodhisattva Cheng relaxed the number of people due to the pressure from other sects, it increased the strength limit of the people entering the mountain a lot, forcing each sect to expose most of its power in exchange for this rare opportunity. The Bodhisattva Cheng claimed that the Sumi Lingshan Dharma Assembly needed a large number of people to serve in the name of protection. In this way, he justified the arrangement of many outstanding sects whose cultivation had not met the requirements to enter the Sumi Lingshan Mountain, which caused each sect to suffer a secret loss.
Xu Changqing was happy to see the open and secret struggles between various sects and sects. It would be even better if he could get the water in the pool even more. Unfortunately, he deliberately amplified his movements along the way, and while letting the entire Buddhist world know that he existed, he also gave up a lot of convenience and was no longer suitable for making tricks in secret, which forced him to feel a little regretful.
After the two arrived at the spiritual platform, they separated. Sun Xianzhi flew to the group of Dharma seats that were placed in the Buddha's vehicle and sat behind a handsome monk with his eyes closed and two white eyebrows. Not far beside him were the 18 great achievers such as the Void Gangwu Barrier Buddha and the 193 common ruler of Indra. The barefoot Buddha was among the 18 great achievers, and he sat in the first place, sitting on the same level as Sun Xianzhi and other Buddhas, the strongest Buddha in the Three Realms, the Vajra Bodhisattva, the Buddha Mother of All Wisdom, and the Buddha Mother of Buddha.
Although the barefoot Buddha met Xu Changqing, for various reasons, he did not take the initiative to go forward and greet Xu Changqing, but just nodded slightly to Xu Changqing, implying that Xu Changqing asked Sun Xianzhi to tell him that what he did was done was done.
After Xu Changqing separated from Sun Xianzhi, he walked directly to the Dharma seat where his Buddha's name appeared. It was located at the center of the entire spiritual platform, close to the Dharma seat in the middle. The Bodhisattva Vehicle also did his best to arrange the Dharma seat. For each of the powerful people who arrived in the Buddha world, they carefully arranged it in an orderly manner according to the conditions of cultivation, reputation, etc. Among them, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the reputation, the closer the Dharma seat is to the central Dharma seat. Although this Dharma seat does not have much substantial effect, for most people, this is related to their face and reputation, and this is related to their own fortune, so they have to compete for it.
Originally, it was impossible to get such a higher throne according to Xu Changqing's reputation, but his actions in the past two days were so great that he forced a Buddhist hermit who was also famous to the second row. Now this person is still waiting for Xu Changqing's back with resentment. Xu Changqing doesn't take this hermit with great reputation but his cultivation is only half a step ahead of him. What he values are the twenty people who are also standing at the forefront with him. However, among these twenty people, those great masters who rely on convenient methods and elixirs are only slightly paid attention to Xu Changqing. Only seven or eight great masters and great masters with stable cultivation and great masters with strong cultivation. Standing in front of Sun Xian, the handsome white-browed monk who is vaguely the leader of the Buddha is one of them.
The identity of this white-browed monk is not even known to the barefoot Buddha, and Sun Xianzhi doesn't know even more. Only the Buddha Mother of All Wisdom and Causes seems to know his identity. He can stand at the position of the head of the gods and Buddhas of the Buddha in the Buddha's Heaven, not only because of his cultivation, but also because he holds the only supreme Great Bodhi Order in the Buddha's Vehicle. The person who holds this order is like the Lord of the Buddha's Vehicle.
Apart from the mysterious identity of this white-browed monk, the other people who were focused on by Xu Changqing were famous figures in the Buddha world. They were either the second-class figures of each sect or the powerful hermits with a deep background. In short, they represent not only their own self, but also the power behind them. Among these people, the only one who can compare with the white-browed monk or Guanyin Bodhisattva is the only one who can compare with the twelve Buddhas of the Brahma Pure World Vehicle, the mother of the Peacock King, the mother of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, the more famous Vajra Tathagata, is slightly inferior to the Buddha's vitality.
The ancestor of the Peacock Mingwang is a side clan of the Phoenix clan of the four major holy clans of the Immortal Palace. He is a cousin of the current Immortal Palace Master Kong Daomiao. Because his ancestor made a big mistake in the clan, he was expelled from the Immortal Palace, and finally returned to the Buddha Realm and inherited the Taoist tradition of the Peacock Mingwang in the Buddha Realm. Since his bloodline has always been a single generation, for safety reasons, the Peacock Mingwang in all dynasties will not intervene in the battle between the Buddhist Realm Sect.
When Brahma Pure World Cheng was founded, the Lord of the Sect, Brahma, had used some method to convince the Peacock King to become the leader of the twelve Sect Kings and to be in charge of Brahma Pure World Cheng. It is precisely because of the Peacock Kings that although Brahma Pure World Cheng is at the bottom of the true strength, its status is slightly higher than that of the Arhat Kings.
After remembering these powerful powers in the Buddha world, Xu Changqing soon discovered another abnormal place, that is, the Lord of the six major sects of the Buddha world did not appear. The Lord of the Buddha and the Lord of the Bodhisattva Vehicle are both in the Lingshan Mountain of Sumi, so it would be fine if he did not appear here, but none of the Lord of the other four sects were present, which was obviously a bit strange. Originally, Xu Changqing wanted to take advantage of this Dharma Assembly to meet the Lord of the True Zen Zen, the Lord of the True Zen, whose name is Cixin, and fight with him to see what kind of bottom his realm has reached. Now this hope has failed, which makes Xu Changqing somewhat disappointed.
As the Lingshan Masters of each sect had already sat on the throne, the number of people flying up from below gradually decreased. In the end, no one could break through the formation force to reach the platform. The spiritual platform also retracted the formation force and flew upwards and then sank into the spirit cloud again. At this moment, except for the Bodhisattva Vehicle, the entire spiritual platform was full of seats, and the other sects and hermits and hermits were also vacant. The Lingshan Masters of each sect didn't look very good. Obviously, the disciples who had originally expected to go to Sumi Lingshan together were all swept away.
The spiritual platform rose very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it passed through the strongest spiritual energy of the spiritual cloud. When it was about to penetrate the spiritual cloud, it stopped. At this time, if you look up, you can see that there is only a very thin layer of the spiritual cloud on your head. However, even such a thin layer can block all the gale wind and evil spirits that flow from the sky without affecting the spiritual platform. On the contrary, because of the friction and impact between these forces and spiritual energy, magnificent and beautiful colorful lights and shadows appeared in the sky. Unfortunately, there are not many people who know how to appreciate this beauty on the spiritual platform.
At this moment, a ray of light shone out on the sacred platform in the center of the Spiritual Platform, and the male Dharma body of Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared in the light and quickly condensed. After the light passed, he took the initiative to salute the gods and Buddhas on the surrounding Dharma seats and said, "Avalokitesvara have seen all fellow Taoists."
