Chapter 709 You Can’t Have It All (1/2)

Trembling with fear, he followed the monk to the main hall of the True Buddha, and Wumu immediately heard the loud sound of chanting.

The voices of thousands of Arhats merge into one, telling of the greatness of the true Buddha, the mystery of the Dharma, and the immortality of the enlightened ones.

When the monk pushed open the door of the palace, Master Wumu saw a different world inside.

The clouds were dancing, the lights were colorful, and billions of Arhats were lined up like hemp, sitting in the distance.

High above the vast sky, the only true Buddha sits above the clouds, with the halo behind him shining brightly, testifying to his eternity and immortality.

Seeing the rays of light released by the other party, Master Wumu felt that all his previous worries and uneasiness had disappeared. The "Art of Correcting the Mind" in his mind began to operate on its own, merging with the sounds of chanting around him, making him feel extremely relaxed and at ease.

The more people who practice "The Art of Correcting the Mind" at the same time, the better the effect will be, and the more comfortable it will feel.

In the Main Hall, there are countless Buddhist monks chanting scriptures at the same time. Such a large number makes the effect of "Rectifying the Mind" so strong that it reaches an inhuman level, making this place the most comfortable place in the Buddhist kingdom.

Fortunately, Master Wumu had reached the Golden Core level of cultivation. Although he was dazzled by the sound of chanting, he still maintained basic rationality and did not hand over the golden book directly.

Squinting his eyes, he tried again to see the appearance of the real Buddha on the lotus platform, but he still couldn't see it clearly.

The True Buddha is the pinnacle of the Buddhist kingdom and the answer to all things. However, his past is extremely mysterious and we can only guess some of his contents through some scriptures.

Apart from this, everything about the other party is extremely mysterious, making people unaware of the origin of the true Buddha and not even dare to explore.

After just one glance, Wu Mu immediately lowered his head and asked devoutly, "May Buddha have mercy on me. I am so anxious and worried to be summoned by the true Buddha. I don't know what caused this and how to stop it."

After a while, the True Buddha on the lotus platform slowly said, "Just now, on a whim, I read my fortune for myself and discovered something."

Thinking of what he had felt, Master Wu Mu's heart skipped a beat.

As expected of a true Buddha, he actually discovered something like this.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the True Buddha say with a little excitement: "I see that Buddhism is flourishing. Everyone has begun to study Buddhism. Even the demons in Kyushu have begun to study Buddhism and wish to dive into it. People who originally did not believe in our Buddha have now converted to Buddhism. The entire Kyushu has fallen for most of it. This is really a blessing for our Buddhism. From this point of view, Buddhism should flourish!"

"Eh?"

"In addition, I saw that the name of my Buddha spread all around, and even other worlds heard of my Buddha's name. The influence of Buddhism is unprecedentedly huge, and the entire Buddhist country is shining like a star in this world."

"Eh?"

"What, you don't believe it?"

The sharp gaze shone through the sunset glow, causing Wu Mu to immediately lower his head and said in fear, "Disciple dare not."

Ebony wanted to say that his feelings were completely different from those of the real Buddha, but he didn't know how to start.

After all, the True Buddha is two realms higher than himself and is now a Divine Transformation cultivator. How could he make a mistake?

In his perception, the premonition of the demise of Buddhism was so strong that it could not be his illusion.

But the True Buddha's premonition would not be wrong. It seemed that Buddhism would really prosper, which made Wu Mu unable to understand.

Just when Wu Mu's mind was full of confusion, he heard the True Buddha say: "Wu Mu, I asked you to come here because I just saw that this matter is related to you. You are the new man of destiny. Wu Mu, Xuan Kong has been possessed by the devil. This matter is very serious. But I believe that you are sincere to the Buddha Kingdom and will never let me down, right?"

Ebony immediately broke out in a cold sweat and felt that he was doomed this time.

The identity of the man of destiny sounds good, but Xuankong's ending has shown that this is a job that will lead to death.

If you do well, you deserve it. If you do not do well, you will be sent directly to the underworld. It is a dead end no matter how you look at it.

But this is a commission from the true Buddha, and it is closely related to the future of the Buddha's kingdom. Even if there are thousands of reasons, I cannot refuse now.

Thinking of this, Wu Mu could only sigh in his heart. That's all.

It's time for me to sacrifice my life for the Buddha's kingdom.

So he immediately prostrated himself on the ground and said respectfully, "Disciple is willing to go."

"Very good." The True Buddha on the lotus platform smiled with satisfaction, "And the Xuankong Golden Book is in your hands. I will give you another magic weapon to help you succeed."

After hearing the True Buddha's arrangements, Ebony immediately broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't stop it.

The True Buddha knew it a long time ago!
He knows I took the golden book away!

But even though he knew all these things, he never said them out loud. It must be because he still had value to me, that's why he kept me alive until today.

If I am not a man of destiny, then my fate will be the same as Xuan Kong's.

Ebony accepted the arrangement of the True Buddha with fear and had no idea how he left the Great Hall.

When he came back to his senses from his fear, he found himself back in the Zen temple, with Xuankong's golden book and the magic weapon bestowed by the True Buddha in front of him.

At this moment, Ebony felt hopeless.

He knew he was dead.

Disobeying the orders of the True Buddha is equivalent to being possessed by a demon, even if one has not yet become possessed by a demon.

Now, the only thing he could do was to complete the True Buddha's order as soon as possible so that he would not stay with Xuankong for too long.

In the darkness, Ebony's expression was as cold as a corpse, and there was no spirit in his empty eyes.

It was unknown how long it took before he had the energy to look at the magic weapon bestowed by the True Buddha.

This is a colorful relic with a round hole in the middle and passed through with a gold thread, just enough to be hung around the neck.

After taking down and hanging up the relic, Ebony immediately felt as if he was shrouded by invisible gazes, making him feel under constant surveillance.

Later, he also understood the function of this magic weapon.

This is a magic weapon made by the True Buddha on a whim after he peeked into the future. It has the ability to see into the future and can help one peek into the future.

Although the effect cannot reach the level of completely peeking into the future, it can slightly influence his decision-making and make the final result move towards a future where Buddhism will prosper.

After knowing the purpose of this thing, Wu Mu held Xuan Kong's golden book and didn't know what to do.

Just as he was thinking about what to do, he saw Xuankong's golden book light up, and a message from Bailong came over: [Is Wumu here? I have something to discuss with you. ]

Ebony shuddered immediately and subconsciously wanted to interrupt the communication with the other party.

After all, the other party is a white dragon that can bring devastating disaster to the Buddhist country, so the right thing to do is not to communicate with him.

But just as he was about to do so, he felt the relic on his neck releasing waves of cold currents, as if it was very dissatisfied with his unwillingness to communicate with Bailong.

Upon realizing this, Ebony was stunned.

One side wants to destroy the Buddhist country.

On the one hand, they want Buddhism to flourish.

The goals of both sides actually reached the same conclusion here?

How is this possible!
