Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 372 The Aloof and Holy Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [48]

Seeing that Shijia remained silent and motionless, Xiu Jie continued to explain, "The Demon Emperor's Palace is the Demon Emperor's bedroom, and the Demon Queen is also there. The Demon Emperor has instructed that no one is allowed to enter and disturb this place when he is not here. I hope the Grand Master will understand."

"His Majesty said that if the Grand Master wants to investigate, he should do so from the outer perimeter."

This is already a huge concession. If it weren't for the snake demon causing havoc on the human race and the demon realm being in the wrong, any other ruler would have been stopped, let alone entering the demon emperor's palace to investigate. Even if Shiga had set up any magic array in the demon realm, it would have been stopped.

The act of setting up the magic array not only threatened the rights of the demon rulers, but also the safety of the demon realm.

If the caster harbors ill intentions, it will surely cause great damage to the demon realm.

The Demon Emperor agreed to let the Grand Mage investigate precisely because he believed in the Grand Mage's noble character, and also because the Grand Mage had performed the ritual to deliver the souls of the demon race during the recent battle between the immortal sects, which, in principle, was a favor done to the demon race.

Regardless of their other actions, those who act as demons are always praised for their acts of repaying kindness.

For some reason, Xiu Jie subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xiyu in Shi Jia's arms, then at Shi Jia himself, upon thinking of this. In his eyes, the Demon Emperor's act of condescension seemed like he was repaying a debt of gratitude to Shi Jia.

Shiga's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded, seemingly agreeing with what Xiu Jie said.

He had no intention of going in; after all, he was only there to verify his own conjecture.

Setting up the Golden Lotus Formation in the First Domain was already quite inappropriate. Now that it has been verified, Shiga need not linger here any longer.

After thanking Xiu Jie, he carried Jiang Xiyu and disappeared from the spot.

Xiu Jie looked around and, seeing that the person was indeed gone, looked up again in the direction of the Demon Emperor's Palace with a complicated expression.

Shiga did not take Jiang Xiyu away; they simply looked down upon the entire Demon Emperor Palace from above the clouds.

Above the clouds, the golden lotus magic array faintly shimmered.

Seeing that the magic array had not disappeared, Jiang Xiyu's expression suddenly darkened.

He emerged from Shiga's embrace, transformed into human form, and walked to Shiga's side.

Shiga slowly turned his head and glanced at him indifferently.

Jiang Xiyu smiled at Shijia, and after approaching him, still keeping an arm's length distance, asked, "Master, since we haven't found the evil thought, where do we go next?"

Shiga's face was almost expressionless.

Just when Jiang Xiyu thought he didn't want to talk, Shijia spoke up.

Where do you want to go?

Jiang Xiyu was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Shijia to ask such a question.

He raised his eyelids and met Shiga's indifferent gaze, and his heart seemed to slow down.

It's unclear whether he was afraid of being seen through by Shiga, or something else.

Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment and said seriously, "Naturally, I will go wherever the Master is."

Shiga's gaze lingered on him for a long while before he lowered his eyes to look below the clouds and said, "It will take some more time..."

Jiang Xiyu smiled gently and said, "Then I'll wait with you, Master."

When he smiles, two shallow swirls appear at the corners of his lips. These swirls don't match his bewitching face, yet they inexplicably add a touch of sincerity to his smile.

Shiga did not respond, but instead twirled a bead between his fingertips.

Jiang Xiyu looked at the golden lotus formation beneath her feet, paused for a moment, and then, recalling how she had almost been injured by it that day, couldn't help but ask with some curiosity, "Master, can I learn this formation?"

Shiga was silent for a moment, then looked at Jiang Xiyu and asked, "Why do you want to learn?"

"I just think this formation is very powerful, so I wanted to learn it. But I'm a demon, so I probably can't learn it. This formation is filled with Buddhist light..."

The Buddha's light is not something that demons can easily approach.

If it is an evil demon, it will suffer the pain of being burned when it encounters the Buddha's light.

Jiang Xiyu was very close to the sword blade formed by the Buddha's light at that time. Due to the evil aura on his body, he also vaguely felt a burning pain.

Seeing the slight disappointment in his lowered eyes, Shiga said, "You can learn."

Jiang Xiyu paused, then looked up, somewhat incredulous: "I'm a demon, can I learn that too?"

Shiga nodded slightly, looked into his eyes, and said softly, "If you can learn the Buddhist Heart Sutra, you can naturally learn this formation, as long as you are wholeheartedly devoted to goodness..."

Jiang Xiyu never intended to harm anyone.

He smiled and said, "I will definitely learn well from the monk."

Shiga responded with an "Mmm".

However, although he, as a demon, could cultivate this formation, it was not something that could be accomplished in a day.

When this cat can set up this formation, it proves that its cultivation has reached another stage. It is destined to be connected with Buddhism and can receive incense offerings and merits. As long as the merits are sufficient and it makes progress in Buddhism, if it is wholeheartedly good and devoted to cultivation, it will eventually be able to break free from the secular world and attain enlightenment.

Shiga gazed at Jiang Xiyu silently. After a long while, he looked away, his eyes seemingly fixed on the highest heavens.

He suddenly spoke, his tone very soft: "Do you wish to enter the realm of Buddha?"

Jiang Xiyu didn't quite hear him: "What?"

Shiga patiently repeated, "Do you wish to enter the realm of Buddhahood and cultivate?"

Jiang Xiyu's pupils suddenly contracted; he was truly stunned by what Shiga had said.

He was stunned for a long time before he could react.

Entering the Buddhist realm?

Legend has it that only a few highly accomplished monks in this world can enter the Buddhist realm after several lifetimes of solitary and arduous cultivation.

But now, Shiga asked him if he wanted to enter the realm of Buddhahood.

Entering the realm of Buddhahood means becoming a Buddha.

Can this demon become a Buddha?

Shika seemed to see his confusion and explained, "All sentient beings have Buddha-nature and can naturally become Buddhas."

"If you want to, you can."

All sentient beings possess Buddha-nature, but their Buddha-nature is not yet awakened. In contrast, the Buddhas in the supreme Buddha-realm have awakened their Buddha-nature and attained perfection.

This cat has a high level of inner awareness. With his guidance, given time, it will naturally be able to gradually awaken its inner Buddha-nature, then attain Buddhahood, enter the Buddha realm, and become a true Buddha.

Jiang Xiyu had only heard that those who entered the Buddhist order needed to achieve complete detachment from worldly desires.

But he just couldn't live up to those four words. Not only could he not, he also couldn't rid himself of the seven emotions and six desires of this world. He had all of them: greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt. He was free from the poison of Buddhism.

He has attachments in his heart, which will give rise to greed, anger, and ignorance. Moreover, he is already married and has broken many precepts. How can someone like him become a Buddha? He cannot become a Buddha.

Jiang Xiyu listened to it briefly, and after thinking it over, she didn't take it to heart.

He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Master, please don't try to comfort me. I can't possibly become a Buddha."

“I cannot uphold the strict rules and regulations of Buddhism, and I have already broken many precepts. Now, being able to enter the gate of Cibei Temple and be able to study the Heart Sutra with the Dharma Master is already a great blessing from the Buddha and the Dharma Master. I am already very satisfied and dare not have any other delusions.”

Jiang Xiyu looked at Shijia with a sincere expression and expressed some gratitude as she spoke.

Shiga's eyelids slowly lowered, and he said nothing more.

Those words seemed as if he had never uttered them, or as if they would have been scattered in the wind if he had.

Many people yearn to become Buddhas and attain enlightenment, simply because the world is too bitter.

The eight sufferings of human life, all kinds of hardships, must be experienced by ordinary people.

Shiksha guided many people in the human realm to Buddhahood. After attaining Buddhahood, one can avoid suffering and abandon all worldly troubles.

He noticed that Jiang Xiyu seemed preoccupied...

He wanted to guide him to Buddhahood...

But he refused.
