Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Buddha Land in the Palm
Translator: 549690339
Everyone in the world knows that all citizens of Le Shan Country believe in Buddhism and that it is the top country that supports it. Yet, they don’t realize that this country with a history of nine thousand years is merely an illusion created by a Divine Skill, and not even the citizens themselves know they don’t actually exist!
In contrast to the enormity of the Old Buddha, his palm extended to infinity, with crevices that resembled deep ravines. Even Jiang Li could not see its end. A golden “0m” character descended upon him, enveloping him.
The first move of Buddha Land in the Palm – Reincarnation.
Jiang Li became the king of Le Shan Country. It was as if he had been through rebirth and forgot everything, devoting himself entirely to the duties of a king. His honest and impartial style of governing, his leading by example, his selection of capable people– all of this endeared him to the common people and the national strength gradually increased, with neighboring countries inevitably capitulating.
However, even he had a moment when life would run its course. He became old, fell sick, and was on his deathbed.
An official came back from a trip with hopeful news for Jiang Li.
“King, I have found a secret recipe from the Buddha. As long as you kill ten thousand people, you can reverse life and death, extending your lifespan.”
Under Jiang Li’s rule, Le Shan Country was peaceful, kindness was practiced by everyone, and there was not even one prisoner waiting for death. Where could he find people to kill?
“King, you can kill the people. The death of ten thousand people exchanged for a wise king will make our Le Shan Country even more powerful.”
“When I have to kill ten thousand people, I would no longer be a wise king.”
Jiang Li rejected the proposal of the official and ordered that the secret recipe cannot be let out. He then passed away panlessly, leaving the entire country in deep sorrow.
Jiang Li was reborn as a common citizen of Le Shan Country. He did not remember that he was the Human Emperor, only that he was a king in his past life.
He was shocked to discover that Le Shan Country was not the same as he remembered. People were turned upside down, everyone trying to kill each other.
The official did not follow Jiang Li’s order. The secret recipe had spread, and the current king believed in it, killed ten thousand people, and did revert back to his youth.
When the citizens saw the secret recipe was effective on the king, they also did not want to die. They wanted to kill others for their own longevity, causing disorder in Le Shan Country.
While a king of high power needed to kill ten thousand people to reverse life and death, an ordinary commoner only needed to kill one person to live for another hundred years.
Jiang Li walked in Le Shan Country, witnessing fathers killing sons, sons killing mothers, couples turning against each other, and neighbors being alienated.
He said nothing, did nothing, he just walked.
Suddenly, an old man grabbed his sleeve, shaking and holding a pig-killing knife, pleading, “Young man, please, let me kill you.”
The old man was too old. He couldn’t kill anyone, and he could only be qualified to be killed. He hid in a dark place, saw Jiang Li’s kind face, and asked for his help.
“Old man, why do you want to live forever?”
The old man had never thought about this question, he was stunned.
Seeing the old man did not answer, Jiang Li answered himself: “There are too many beautiful things in the world. Family love, romantic love, friendship, money, beauty, power … Lifetime is not enough to enjoy them.”
“I want to enjoy these things then. I want to live forever. Young man, may I kill you?”
Jiang Li smiled and asked: “Where can you enjoy these things?”
The old man was bewildered. In the past king’s reign, these beautiful things were everywvhere, but under the rule of the current king, there was only death and betrayal.
Yes, even if he did survive, what could he do?
Survive, and then?
Jiang Li sighed, “Killing people for longevity, this world is already in turmoil.”
“Then what should we do?”
In actuality, the old man did not like the current Le Shan Country either. Living was more troubling than dying.
“If the Heavenly Dao wants to bring chaos to the world, and the superior does nothing, there is no way around it.” Jiang Li shook his head, “If I were a strong man, I would rule the country with tyranny and iron fist and restore order. But now, all I can do is talk.”
“Then when you are about to die, wouldn’t you choose to kill others to live? You are already the strongest being, the most respected being in the world, wouldn’t you be unwilling to die?”
“Unwilling?” Jiang Li asked with a smile, “What is my purpose of being strong?”
“To restore order.”
“Then what would it be if I killed for survival?”
To break the order.”
“Yes, if I killed people, it would not be me changing the order, but the order has changed me.”
The old man bowed to Jiang Li after hearing those words, “I’m enlightened.” “Help me do one thing.” Jiang Li said.
“Please tell me, sir.” The old man’s attitude towards Jiang Li became extremely respectful.
“If you can live longer by killing, what would be the result of committing suicide, would you resurrect, or would you die?”
I don’t know.”
Jiang Li nodded, “Neither do I. Let’s give it a try. If I can still live after committing suicide, you don’t have to do anything. But if I die after committing suicide, please tell everyone about this, and say that Heaven wants the world to fight and die for each other.”
Before the old man could react, Jiang Li took the pig-killing knife from the old man’s hand, pointed it at his heart, and stabbed it in without hesitation.
Died a quick death.
Seeing Jiang Li fell down, the old man hastily carried out Jiang Li’s instruction. The news was sent out.
The old man, who was old and weak, was soon targeted by others and killed.
However, even though the old man died, the news was spread out. It spread out like wildfire, spreading all over Le Shan Country.
Those who learned about this realized, humans can reproduce, and killing each other cannot prove that Heaven wants to exterminate humanity. But the fact that there is no resurrection after committing suicide can prove that Heaven wants to drive humans mad and then destroy them.
Heaven might want to destroy mankind, but that doesn’t mean mankind will
give up.
Some people formed a resistance army, determined to bring back a pure vanilla Qian Kun.
The resistance army was fully armed and ready to go. They held a farewell banquet, slaughtering cattle and eating meat, drinking alcohol to gain courage. They went on an expedition to overthrow the current king and restore order.
Among the cattle slaughtered by the resistance army, one was Jiang Li reincarnated.
Jiang Li was reincarnated as a cow, in a state of confusion, forgetting everything, only acting on instinct, and was eventually slaughtered by people.
“The nobility and royalty are of the Heavenly Dao, the common people belong to the Human Dao, and the cattle and sheep belong to the Animal Dao. These three make up the small cycle of reincarnation.” Jiang Li walked out of the palm of the Old Buddha, fully awake.
The Old Buddha attempted to muddle Jiang Li’s mind with the cycle of reincarnation, but he failed.
He also wanted Jiang Li to personally kill within the cycle of reincarnation, acknowledging that it is right to murder for longevity. In this way, even if Jiang Li left the cycle of reincarnation, he would not Attack him again. However, he still failed, and even got a lesson from Jiang Li.
“I practiced Buddha Land in the Palm for nine thousand years, never used it, and was confident that even if the Transcendence Tribulation stage entered the Buddha Land, they would lose themselves. Now that I have become a fairy, my power is greater than ever. But unexpectedly, it is still useless to you. You found yourself after only one cycle.”
The Old Buddha did not admit his second purpose.
Seeing that he could not break Jiang Li’s Dao heart, the Old Buddha again enlarged his hands, closing them around Jiang Li. The two hands were like two worlds, with infinite internal space.
Jiang Li was back in Le Shan Country again, but this time he did not have to go through reincarnation, but was facing the endless space of Le Shan Country.
The second move of Buddha Land in the Palm – Infinity.
This time Jiang Li did not lose his cultivation. He realized he could not fly to the end. He shouted, and with his hand as an axe, he cracked open the space with brute force..
