Chapter 1032: 755: Beiji Tribulation Crossing Treasure Light Buddha
Within the Grotto Heaven, the Dao Rhyme was serene and secluded.
As soon as he stepped into the Secret Realm, the aura on Chen Hua’s body suddenly collapsed, the calm he had been maintaining outside shattered instantly.
“Master!”
“Master!!”
The expressions of the three disciples changed dramatically, and they hurriedly stepped forward with worry etched on their faces.
Chen Hua raised his hand and gently gestured, stopping the three from inquiring:
“No worries, failing the Seeker of Gold, naturally there is a price to pay.”
“Although I lost the Golden Position this time, compared to cultivators who failed in seeking gold in the past and had their True Spirit perish, I am already very fortunate.”
“At least, my True Spirit is not extinguished, and there remains a chance for reincarnation.”
After saying this, he lifted his gaze to the three, inquiring solemnly:
“Are the small banners I previously bestowed upon you still with you?”
Yuan Hong and the others dared not hesitate and immediately raised their hands, revealing three ancient Profound Banners floating silently over their palms.
Chen Hua nodded, extending his hand, a fourth similar Profound Banner appeared in his palm, which he handed over:
“These four Dao Banners can lock the True Spirit, set reincarnation, guide the Divine Soul, and protect the rebirth.”
“This object originated from my hands, yet I never expected it to actually be used one day!”
His eyes were complex, in his view, either succeed in the gold-seeking, or the True Spirit perishes directly!
He hadn’t expected that the one in the gray mist would even protect him, ensuring his True Spirit didn’t scatter!
He looked at several disciples and spoke:
“I will reincarnate immediately.”
“You all hold the banner in coordination, precisely guiding my True Spirit, ensuring my reincarnation retains memory.”
The three’s expressions were solemn, nodding heavily:
“Disciples remember Master’s decree! Will surely protect Master’s unimpeded reincarnation!”
Chen Hua said nothing more, a hint of peace flashed in his eyes as he slowly closed them, letting his Dao body fade of Spirit Light.
True Spirit departed the body, stepping into the Netherworld.
Yuan Hong, Hu Butu, and Zhu Dahua immediately activated the Profound Banner, connecting with the Netherworld, prepared to guide the Master.
But in the next moment, a sudden mutation arose!
The Dao Banner, which should be resonating and trembling, guiding reincarnation, was now dead silent, without a trace of response or fluctuation.
Zhu Dahua frowned:
“What’s happening?”
Hu Butu’s face was full of shock:
“Where is Master’s True Spirit?”
“Why is there no response from the Dao Banner?”
Yuan Hong’s pupils shrank, his face turning cold instantly, a chill surged from his heart:
“The only one who can affect Master’s arrangement is…”
“True Monarch!!”
Hu Butu and Zhu Dahua were shocked, filled with righteous indignation, burning with fury.
Master’s Golden Position taken, only seeking to reincarnate again, even this last chance of survival was to be completely severed!
Yuan Hong was silent for a while, Evil Qi slowly surged around him, he suddenly raised his hand, fiercely throwing the Netherworld Small Banner away, the Profound Banner fell to the ground with a dull thud.
He lifted his eyes to the two junior brothers, his gaze steady yet containing decisiveness, he raised his hand to condense a wisp of True Spirit breath, dividing it into two, respectively sending it into Hu Butu and Zhu Dahua’s palms.
Hu Butu’s heart trembled as he hurriedly asked:
“Senior brother, what are you doing?”
Zhu Dahua also clenched the wisp of Master’s True Spirit breath, full of confusion.
Yuan Hong slowly nodded, his voice steady, having made up his mind:
“I plan to reincarnate for cultivation, it depends on the two junior brothers to guide me!”
Upon hearing this, the other two’s faces changed dramatically.
Zhu Dahua stepped forward quickly to stop him:
“The road of reincarnation is perilous and unpredictable, unless absolutely necessary…”
Yuan Hong gently shook his head, revealing the root cause in one sentence:
“Now it’s absolutely necessary!!”
“The cultivation techniques I practice all originated from Master’s hands, more often True Monarch’s placements.”
“Staying to cultivate cannot achieve success, remaining in the present world, it is ultimately a deadlock.”
Hu Butu’s heart sank:
“After reincarnating, which Dao lineage will senior brother focus on cultivating?”
Yuan Hong stated frankly:
“Wood Virtue or Taiyin, seizing a chance for survival!!”
Hu Butu and the others frowned more, wanting to compete with those Great True Masters of the Purple Mansion, how difficult it was!
“Without entering reincarnation, there will never be a chance to break the deadlock.”
Yuan Hong patted the shoulders of the two junior brothers, his tone softened somewhat, entrusting affairs after:
“After I reincarnate, everything will depend on the two junior brothers!”
Hu Butu said in a deep voice:
“Rest assured, senior brother, take care of yourself in the journey to reincarnation.”
Yuan Hong nodded slightly, saying nothing more, sacrificially dismantling his own body!!
The changes here, Chen Sheng did not know, as he was preparing to absorb the third Golden Position at this moment.
…
Another dimension.
Great Snow Temple.
In the deepest part of the temple, layers of Buddha Light flowed in tranquility, strands of golden Buddha patterns swirling around the cave, lasting throughout the years.
A bodhisattva in plain robes sat cross-legged, with a gentle and benevolent expression, eyebrows and eyes free of dust, precisely Miao Shan Bodhisattva.
This was already his third life of cultivation.
In the previous life, he stopped at the third Divine Technique, unable to take the final step, and had no fate to worship at the Golden Court.
In this life, with the foundation of the previous life, his momentum was unstoppable, easily returning to the peak.
Now he was in the process of condensing the fourth Divine Technique!
Hum—!
A deep Buddha’s hum reverberated throughout the entire Great Snow Temple, the fourth Innate Divine Technique completely condensed into form!
Three lifetimes of accumulation, a morning of perfection!
Miao Shan’s entire body suddenly surged with Buddha’s light.
The four rays of “Void Sun” Divine Techniques closed perfectly around him, interlinked and flawless.
He slowly stood up and stepped out of the Seclusion Cave.
Outside, a young monk with clean features was standing quietly, waiting. Seeing Miao Shan exit, he quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands in respect, and beamed with genuine joy:
“Congratulations, Martial Uncle, on achieving perfection in your retreat! Congratulations on attaining perfection in your four Divine Techniques, Martial Uncle!”
This monk was once the Formless Bodhisattva.
He, too, had undergone reincarnations to recultivate, abandoning his former teachings to study the path of the Void Sun, and now barely at the Dao Foundation Realm.
Miao Shan looked at the junior in front of him, a gentle smile in his eyes, and nodded softly:
“Your cultivation has also improved; your future is promising.”
Formless humbly lowered his head:
“It’s just steady and arduous cultivation.”
“With your four Divine Techniques perfected, Martial Uncle, only one step remains to knock on the door to seek gold and ascend to a Buddha!”
Miao Shan shook his head slightly:
“Though the four Divine Techniques are complete, seeking gold requires gathering the heavenly phenomena to attract the favor of the Golden Court. The road is long, and I might have to cultivate for another lifetime.”
Throughout generations, every Seeker of Gold spent ages accumulating vast heavenly phenomena to eventually reach this point.
Having just perfected the Divine Techniques, I still need time to settle before seeking gold.
But just as he finished speaking, all wind and snow above the Great Snow Temple suddenly ceased.
Endless Buddha’s light blossomed, and the supreme golden Dao presence of the Void Sun Dimension descended from above, with Heaven and Earth Dao Laws bowing naturally.
A supreme figure stepped through the air, each step birthing a Golden Lotus, each step raising Dao Rhyme.
Miao Shan and Formless both straightened their expressions, not daring to show any neglect, and bent over with hands clasped in respect:
“Greetings, Our Buddha!”
Chen Sheng gently raised his hand, supporting the two:
“Master, Senior Brother, no need for formalities.”
His gaze fell on Miao Shan, speaking directly:
“I am here not for any other reason, but to assist Master in seeking gold.”
At these words, Miao Shan was stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief, his voice carrying a hint of astonishment:
“Seeking gold?”
“I… I have just refined the fourth Divine Technique, the phenomena are insufficient and the accumulation is incomplete, I am far from the time to seek gold!”
Chen Sheng just shook his head gently at this:
“Others seek gold by accumulating phenomena, gathering Dao Rhyme, and waiting for the right timing.”
“But I am the Lord of this Void Sun; what phenomena can compare to my decree!”
With a single word, the Dao Laws roared!
In Miao Shan’s mind, it suddenly became clear!
Indeed!
Others seek gold by beseeching the Golden Court’s favor!
If lifted by a Golden Position Lord, it turns impossible to possible!
The Formless beside him was more stunned, his eyes filled with envy.
No one knew.
Chen Sheng’s seemingly casual “direct promotion” came with a hefty price!
Since ancient times, Golden Position authority is never granted lightly, forcibly promoting a cultivator through a stage would deplete their source and consume their Dao fortunes.
In the past, even Ji Shui Primordial Monarch would rather let Uncle Shui build up phenomena over ages than forcefully promote, because it’s a cost that outweighs the benefit.
But at this moment, Chen Sheng needed to capture the third Golden Position and didn’t have time to wait.
He needed Miao Shan to swiftly become a Buddha, allowing him to cover the rear and proceed without concern to capture the Golden Position!
Miao Shan stood there, his heart and spirit stirred, unable to calm for a long time, filled with bewilderment and disbelief.
“Am I… am I about to become a Buddha?”
…
Time quietly passed.
At the Great Snow Temple!
BOOM—!!
Boundless golden Buddha’s light descended from the myriad heavens of the Void Sun, spanning across the entire dimension.
Millions of golden Dao Patterns intertwined around the Great Snow Temple, the Buddha’s sound reverberated across all directions, flowers fell from the sky, and golden lotuses surged from the earth.
The phenomenon of seeking gold unfolded magnificently!
All Arhat Bodhisattvas in this dimension raised their heads, looking towards the direction of the Great Snow Temple, their hearts and spirits were greatly shaken!
Everyone witnessing this phenomenon of seeking gold thought to themselves:
“Miao Shan Bodhisattva truly has good fortune!!”
“Worldly cultivators seek Tao from their masters and ancestors for a chance, yet here he is, having a Buddha as a disciple directly!”
“Three lifetimes of cultivation and now he’s seeking gold!”
“In the first lifetime, Miao Shan refined one Divine Technique and then passed away; among us, he could be considered of average talent!!”
“He shouldn’t have even hoped to achieve as a Great True Master!”
“Who knows if this time seeking gold, can succeed?”
…
Time quietly passed.
At a certain moment!
The golden tracks roared and surged in the void, a voice echoed across the entire dimension, resonating in every Spirit Mountain Ancient Temple and every Snowfield Zen Forest.
“I, Miao Shan, certify the Dao today in the Snowfield, known as the ’Beiji Tribulation Crossing Treasure Light Buddha’…”
The next moment, between heaven and earth.
A Buddha’s golden body towered majestically, one hand holding the Tribulation Crossing Purification Bottle, the other wielding the Void Sun Treasure Wheel, surrounded by countless rays of Tribulation Crossing Golden Light.
Bodhisattvas and Arhats on all sides eyes filled with extreme envy, thinking to themselves:
“Indeed, as if the entire entourage has ascended to heaven!”
On the surface, everyone clasped their hands together, the sound of worship forming a vast ocean of praise, resounding through all heavens:
“Congratulations to the Beiji Tribulation Crossing Treasure Light Buddha for ascending to the Golden Position!”
“Greetings to Our Buddha!”
“Tribulation Crossing Light, enlightening all ages!”
