Chapter 167 Return of the Eight Lives
In the vast universe, high above the Fourth World, Li Qingshan was ambushed. In the nick of time, Monk Wu’o suddenly appeared and rescued Li Qingshan from his predicament.
The handsome young monk, clad in white robes, smiled as he looked at Li Qingshan.
“How did you come to be here?” Li Qingshan asked, first feeling relieved and then puzzled.
At the time of their parting years ago, the young monk had not even reached the level of Ancestral Immortal, while Li Qingshan had spent over twenty years, enduring countless millennia in the long passage of time, to acquire his current strength.
How had Monk Wu’o managed to reach this level?
Li Qingshan was deeply puzzled.
“Do you remember, Benefactor Li Qingshan, when I told you I had a master in my dreams?” Monk Wu’o smiled and asked.
Li Qingshan suddenly remembered memories long dormant resurfacing. Years ago, on the Prodigy Battlefield, Monk Wu’o had mentioned having a master who taught him in his dreams.
At that time, Li Qingshan didn’t think much of it, not considering it to be particularly impressive. But now, seeing Monk Wu’o able to appear here, he realized it must be closely related to his master who taught him in his dreams.
“Why did the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures in my sea of consciousness show unusual activity?” Li Qingshan asked Monk Wu’o.
“That’s not called the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures,” Monk Wu’o shook his head.
“If it’s not called the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures, then what is it?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion.
“It’s called the Amitabha Sutra!” Monk Wu’o stood with one hand on his chest, speaking earnestly.
“Amitabha Sutra!”
Li Qingshan’s eyes widened in disbelief. The Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures he fortuitously obtained in the Human World were actually connected to the supreme expert on the Supreme Path, Amitabha.
“How did you know?” Li Qingshan asked in confusion.
“The master who taught me in my dreams is none other than Amitabha,” Monk Wu’o explained.
“You’re the direct disciple of Amitabha?” Li Qingshan looked at Monk Wu’o in astonishment, completely unable to fathom it.
In this era, Monk Wu’o, who rose alongside him, turned out to be a disciple of Amitabha.
“Didn’t Amitabha enter the Supreme Path long ago?” Li Qingshan asked, still puzzled and scrutinizing Monk Wu’o.
He noticed that Monk Wu’o was in an indescribable state at the moment.
Monk Wu’o’s actual cultivation level was barely at the level of an Emperor, not even as strong as Xia Wuji.
But at this moment, he was surrounded by a domain. Within this domain, even the top-notch Venerables of the Fourth World, like Killer Wolf, couldn’t shake it.
Monk Wu’o was able to save Li Qingshan just now, breaking Killer Wolf’s lethal move, relying on this domain.
In the starry sky, warfare erupted frequently, chaos descended, and darkness loomed.
The Venerables fought endlessly, the Emperors fought for their lives, and the scene was one of rivers of blood.
Amid such a tense atmosphere, Li Qingshan and Monk Wu’o stood beneath the universe, above the Fourth World, engaging in a careful and serious conversation.
“Before Master Amitabha entered the Supreme Path, he left behind some contingencies, including those he severed from his past lives,” Monk Wu’o said carefully.
“The Buddhist scripture you, Benefactor Li Qingshan, practice can also be called the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures, but it’s only a part of the Amitabha Sutra. The Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures are subsumed into the Amitabha Sutra, where the venerable severed the past lives, leaving only a portion of this lifetime’s true portrayal.”
“Master Amitabha severed his past lives and entered the Supreme Path in a new form, embarking on a new journey. The severed past lives remained in the Human World, silently waiting until they encountered me and embarked on the path of enlightenment in dreams.”
“After leaving the Prodigy Battlefield, I found Amitabha’s past life and diligently studied and practiced under him until today. The great battle in the Starry Sky had a significant impact, and while everyone observed the stars without knowing what was happening, I could see clearly. At least, it presented another opportunity, so I brought Amitabha’s past life here,” Monk Wu’o explained his past in simple words.
Li Qingshan listened, suddenly enlightened and filled with emotion.
When Amitabha entered the Supreme Path years ago, he severed all worldly attachments and left behind a Dharma Body.
The Dharma Body that remained was kept by Monk Fayin until today.
However, the severed past life vanished without a trace, unnoticed by anyone. No one realized where it ended up, or paid attention to the fact that Amitabha had the immense courage and determination to sever all past attachments.
Now, millions of years later, the severed past life, through the method of imparting the Path in dreams, accepted Monk Wu’o as a disciple.
He carefully guided Monk Wu’o, step by step, until he reached the Emperor Realm. Then the battle in the Starry Sky erupted.
Monk Wu’o had glimpsed a corner of the conflict in the Starry Sky and understood the significance of this battle, which led him to this place.
“Then, is your current state also relying on Amitabha’s power?” Li Qingshan asked, observing the domain surrounding Monk Wu’o.
The domain enveloping Monk Wu’o was indeed the Buddha’s domain.
This domain rendered him fearless, even in the face of a Venerable.
“Master Amitabha’s past life knew I was coming to participate in this war and willingly merged with my body. Then, he burned himself, hoping to contribute one last effort to the Human World. So, this domain is the essence of Master Amitabha’s past life,” Monk Wu’o explained seriously.
As they were conversing, in the distant starry sky, Tian Yi and Killer Wolf swapped positions.
“You handle this Heaven-defying family’s member, and I’ll kill this extraordinary Emperor,” Tian Yi said coldly, his gaze fixed on Li Qingshan, filled with murderous intent.
Li Qingshan had destroyed the Rebirth Spring twice.
This spring was the foundation for the survival of all the experts in the Fourth World. Even though it could be repaired, its destruction would cause a significant loss of vitality.
Tian Yi was furious. He knew that Li Qingshan was strong, but he believed he was stronger.
Tian Yi thought, “Who stands at the peak of the path? When one meets Tian Yi, the path becomes void.”
He, Tian Yi, was a peerless expert who had grown up together with Buddha and Demon. He would definitely save the Fourth World from danger.
Tian Yi crossed the space and his true body descended here with a great gust of wind and waves. He stared at Li Qingshan and unleashed a powerful strike.
Li Qingshan frowned and looked at the Monk Wu’o. “Can you stop him and buy me some time?”
Monk Wu’o smiled gently and said, “I’ve come with everything that Amitabha had in his previous life. This world is not only about Demons, Buddha also exists!”
Boom!
A thunderous roar echoed as Buddha sought to save all beings.
Monk Wu’o took a step forward, and behind him appeared a Buddhist kingdom, with a Buddha facing away from all beings.
Amitabha!
Back in the day, the Immortal Plane witnessed the birth of two extraordinary figures: Buddha and Demon.
The Demon was the Primordial Heavenly Demon.
The Buddha was Amitabha.
Monk Wu’o carried the essence of Amitabha’s past life and launched an assault on Tian Yi.
“Though you are from the same era, you are unworthy to be compared with Buddha and Demon!” Monk Wu’o declared coldly.
In that instant, the Buddhist kingdom descended, filled with the golden bodies of bodhisattvas and arhats. Various Buddhist dharmas rippled through the air, sweeping across the universe.
Monk Wu’o pointed a finger, with the past life of Amitabha blessing him, making his strike even more powerful. He was like a fierce tiger emerging from the mountains, roaring with laughter over the land, like a dragon soaring through the clouds, leaping thousands of miles.
In this moment, Buddha’s light shone brightly, shattering all of Tian Yi’s attacks, breaking through his myriad divine laws, and sweeping forward with unstoppable force.
“Amitabha!”
Tian Yi shouted in disbelief, staring intently at Monk Wu’o.
In Monk Wu’o, he saw the shadow of Amitabha.
Earlier, he had fought the Demon, neither side using their full strength, resulting in a stalemate.
Tian Yi believed he was no less than Buddha and Demon.
He had fought the Demon to a draw and lamented that in all his cultivation, he had never encountered Buddha.
Unexpectedly, this long-standing regret was immediately filled.
Although the true body of Amitabha didn’t descend, his severed past life had arrived.
A powerful strike made Tian Yi’s eyes widen, his heart constricting in disbelief.
“Good! Good! Good!”
“I haven’t seen Buddha for half my life. Today, I’ll smash Buddha to pieces!” After Tian Yi’s shock, boundless pride surged in his heart. He activated all his strength and began a life-and-death battle with Monk Wu’o.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Qingshan, who was not being attacked, chose not to engage with anyone else.
He closed his eyes and swiftly reviewed the techniques that Immortal Northstar had taught him.
Li Qingshan knew the situation was extremely urgent.
The greatest threat to the Immortal Plane was not these Venerables before him, but Shi Tian, who had returned from the Supreme Path!
Although the Demon was doing everything possible to buy time, she wasn’t a match for Shi Tian.
Even with the Buddha now involved, they were still not a match.
The Demon and the Buddha, in their states from millions of years ago, had never entered the Supreme Path and were fundamentally different from Shi Tian.
To win this war, Shi Tian had to be killed.
The Demon and the Buddha couldn’t do it, nor could anyone else.
But Li Qingshan could.
He hadn’t yet exerted his full strength, always looking for a way to deliver a fatal blow.
Now, amidst the raging war in the universe, he found himself with the opportunity to understand what he needed to do.
Li Qingshan reached out toward the Immortal Plane, his eyes resolute, and said, “Return of the Eight Lives!”
He intended to merge his nine lives and step into the Venerable Realm.
To fight Shi Tian.
