Nuwa Seeks the Dao, Red Clouds Establish Buddha

Chapter 69 Nuwa Seeks the Dao, Red Clouds Establish Buddha

Above the Houtu tribe.

As Houtu left the territory of the Wu Clan and headed for the East Sea, Guixuan, who was hidden in the void, changed color and became calm, then disappeared into the sky.

They reappeared inside Mount Buzhou.

Upon returning to Buzhou Mountain, Guixuan clearly felt that the pressure from Pangu within the mountain had weakened considerably compared to before.

It was even reduced by more than half.

Gui Xuan frowned. "This is too fast. At this rate, in a few hundred thousand years, Mount Buzhou will collapse on its own without Gonggong even having to knock it down."

Is this man-made or natural?

Suppressing his doubts, Gui Xuan arrived in front of a cave dwelling, his aura dissipating.

"Paying homage to the Dao Ancestor Guixuan, Nuwa bows in reverence!"

Inside the cave, Nuwa sensed a familiar presence and appeared outside, her expression respectful.

Gui Xuan looked at Nuwa in front of him and secretly calculated that the one in the East Sea was actually an avatar of this one.

It looks exactly like Nuwa?!

"What a strange supernatural power! One body, two parts, yet their minds are in sync; your mastery of the Dao of Creation is about to reach its peak."

Facing this future Holy Mother of Humanity, I was filled with awe.

In her previous life, she was a human, but the world was unaware of this Holy Mother of Humanity.

The legends surrounding her have continued from the Lich Wars to the technological age of the end times.

Some say she became a saint through merit and virtue, making her the weakest saint.

Some say she doesn't care about the lives of humans, only about whether the demon race will survive.

During the great calamity of the human race, they remained indifferent to the slaughter of the demon race.

Regardless of how later generations evaluate this Holy Mother, Gui Xuan has never underestimated her.

This is because everything about this Virgin Mary is extremely strange.

Although his elder brother Fuxi did not attain the position of saint, he became the ancient emperor of the human race, enjoying the fortune of the human race and his status was comparable to that of a saint.

His subordinate, Lingzhuzi, achieved physical immortality and became a saint in the Heavenly Court, enjoying renown throughout the Three Realms.

He created the human race and is the eternal protagonist, scattered throughout the myriad realms.

Although the demon race has fallen into decline, it has never disappeared.

Even the stone left behind after mending the sky, which is highly controversial in later generations, has achieved extraordinary results.

His influence can be found in the East, the West, among humans, and in the Heavenly Court.

Nuwa, meanwhile, remained in the chaos, observing the primordial world's turmoil; while the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti, among other saints, fought to the death for the fate of the primordial world.

They dispersed.

Only Nuwa remained uninvolved and rarely got involved in cause and effect.

Nuwa then spoke up, "These are all trivial methods, not worth mentioning; they are not as powerful as the Dao Ancestor's ability to casually guide a sage."

As he spoke, he led Guixuan into the cave.

What appears to be a cramped cave from the outside reveals a completely different world inside.

Endless life force filled the cave, and the aura of creation permeated the air.

This cave is like a small world inside.

Composing himself, Gui Xuan said in a calm voice, "No need for formalities. I had a premonition, and in the stillness of the moment, I felt a stirring within me. I never expected to find myself at your abode."

Several spiritual fruits appeared before her, and Nuwa said softly, "What the Dao Ancestor sensed must concern Nuwa. Please explain, Dao Ancestor."

Nuwa's gaze was fixed on Guixuan.

This person had been kind to her and her brother even before they took human form.

If it weren't for the Dao Ancestor Guixuan preaching here, allowing them to make great progress in their cultivation and take human form ahead of other deities in the prehistoric world by countless years.

In the previous Lingbao dispute, it may have already been disturbed by other deities and could not find peace.

Nuwa has never forgotten this cause and effect.

Gui Xuan looked at the spiritual fruit in front of him and discovered that it was a second-generation fruit tree cultivated using the kernel of that five-needle pine cone.

The Five Elements Heavenly Laws flow through the fruits. Those who have not yet entered the Great Luo realm can immediately enter the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm by eating five different fruits.

It takes countless years to comprehend the laws of the Five Elements before one can advance to the next level.

"In terms of creation and life, you are undoubtedly the greatest in the primordial world."

Gui Xuan picked up a spiritual fruit and exclaimed in praise.

Is this a way to make myself eat spiritual fruit?

This is to let him guide her!

Gui Xuan chuckled inwardly and slowly began to eat under Nuwa's indifferent gaze.

Gui Xuan only stopped when Nuwa showed signs of anxiety.

"There's no rush. Your path is already under your feet; you just need the right opportunity."

Holding the fruit pit in his hand, Gui Xuan said in a low voice.

As he spoke, he tossed the fruit pit in his hand into the air, and innate spiritual energy surged towards him.

Under Nuwa's gaze, the second-generation fruit kernels of the five-needle pine were instantly catalyzed.

In the blink of an eye, it took root and sprouted.

And it sprouted branches and leaves at an incredible speed.

"I never expected that the Dao Ancestor's understanding of the two laws is even deeper than mine." Nuwa stared intently at the five-needle pine in the air.

The moment she spoke, the five-needle pine blossomed and was about to bear fruit.

"Fate is unpredictable, but life goes on."

Then, a mysterious and ethereal voice rang out.

"Don't limit yourself to what's in front of you; broaden your horizons and go out and explore more."

"Only by seeing more can one know more; only then can one understand how colorful and wonderful life is, and how magical creation is."

Nuwa listened to the echoing sounds around her and stared blankly at the five-needle pine in the void bearing five-colored fruits.

Fifty five-colored fruits fell to the ground and became spirits; they chirped and ran around on the ground, innocent and ignorant.

Looking at the cave dwelling again, Gui Xuan had already disappeared.

After a long while, Nuwa chuckled softly.

"Very well, I have never walked around this ancient land before, it's time for me to take a look."

······

East China Sea.

As the Buddha Hongyun finished expounding the Dharma, the ancient deities present finally understood.

How terrifying an honest person can be when pushed to the limit.

Shangqing Tongtian exclaimed excitedly, "This principle is exactly what I've been looking for!"

I convince the masses with reason; I am reason itself!

My fists are the only proof!

Don't talk nonsense when something happens, just fight first.

Yuanshi looked speechlessly at the excited Tongtian beside him, "This is utterly unreasonable!"

This isn't reasoning; it's downright thuggery.

If you provoke me, my resolve will be unstable if I do not seek revenge.

If your resolve is wavering, then I must eliminate the demon; if I don't eliminate this external demon, how can I see the Buddha?

Yuan Shi didn't know what to say.

The Taoist Master Taiqing looked at his two younger brothers, a hint of worry in his eyes. "This is the path of Buddhism, it has nothing to do with you. Do not bring it into yourselves."

Jieyin and Zhunti stood aside with bitter expressions on their faces.

Zhunti said in a hoarse voice, "Senior brother, why do I feel that his Buddhism resonates with us?"

The more he listened, the more he felt that Hongyun's Buddhism was more suitable for their Western world.

If it weren't for the fear that the saint Hongyun would be angered and kill him, Zhunti would have directly planned to seize the Dao.

Jieyin, suppressing his inner turmoil, said, "The path to sainthood is fraught with peril..."

Where is their Western way...?

Red Cloud sat cross-legged in the void, its voice vast and powerful.

After listening to his teachings, countless Buddhist disciples displayed both compassionate and fierce aspects.

Seeing the Buddha is not easy; I wish to be compassionate.

External evils invade, but reason guides them away!

"Namo Compassionate Hongyun Ancestral Buddha!"

The Buddhist disciple paid his respects, and the monks knelt in worship.

"Now that you have understood, you must not tarnish the reputation of Buddhism when you are out in the world."

Hongyun spoke up.

Then, turning his gaze to Yuan Feng's offspring, he said, "Our Buddhism has thirty-six Heavenly Generals Buddhas and seventy-two Earthly Fiends Buddhas. I wonder if you two are interested?"

Kong Xuan looked astonished.

He never expected that this newly appointed saint would actually ask the two brothers to join Buddhism and become Buddhas.

Looking at the equally astonished Golden-Winged Roc, Kong Xuan ignored the surprise of the ancient gods behind him and spoke.

"Grand Buddha, my brother and I have only just been born, but we already have other opportunities. We hope you will not take offense."

You refused?

Countless ancient gods stared at Kong Xuan in disbelief.

The sage extended an invitation, a wish that countless beings could only dream of, yet this fellow actually refused.

Some ancient deities began to deduce its origins.

It would have been better not to do the deduction; the more we did, the more horrifying it became.

The boundless karmic force made their eyes hurt.

The Phoenix Clan of the Three Clans, descendants of the Primordial Phoenix!

Just as they were feeling shocked, Hongyun spoke again, making these ancient deities almost think they were dreaming.

"I already know what you're talking about. Dao Ancestor Guixuan has already stated that after you two are born, you can become the Buddhas of our Buddhism."

The Dao Ancestor of Returning to the Mysterious Realm!?

These two have a causal relationship with the Dao Ancestor Guixuan.

The assembled ancient deities understood.

No wonder the speaker had such an arrogant face, daring to refuse the sage's invitation.

Not only did he have deep roots, but he also had the Dao Ancestor paving the way for him.

Kong Xuan was startled upon hearing this, "So the Dao Ancestor had already made arrangements."

I no longer refuse.

My aunt had already given instructions before she left home: she was here to find the Dao Ancestor Guixuan.

It is common knowledge in the prehistoric world that the Hongyun Ancestor Buddha Venerable Guixuan Dao Ancestor is the same person they came here to listen to the Dao, but their main purpose was to find Guixuan Dao Ancestor and become his disciple.

Unexpectedly, the Dao Ancestor had already made arrangements for them.

"If the sage does not abandon us, we brothers are willing to become the Buddha of Buddhism."

The Golden-Winged Roc also stood up, his face respectful.

"Excellent!" Hongyun nodded.

"Among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals Buddhas of Buddhism, today we establish Kong Xuan as the Great Bright King Buddha, the head of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals Buddhas, leading them; Jinpeng is appointed as the Sun and Moon Golden Light Buddha, and is also listed among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals Buddhas!"

boom!

When Buddha was born, fortunes shifted.

The aura of Buddhism descended upon Kong Xuan and Jin Peng, causing a dramatic change in their temperament and a leap in their spiritual realm.

His Taiyi Golden Immortal realm instantly rose to the Great Luo Perfection, just one step away from becoming a Quasi-Saint.

Wearing a kasaya, with a halo of Buddha behind his head, he sat cross-legged in the void.

Behind them were a colorful peacock and a golden-winged roc, which flew away and disappeared in an instant.

"Homage to the Great Bright King Buddha and the Golden Light Buddha of the Sun and Moon!"

Buddhist monks chanted, the Buddha's light shone everywhere, and the sound of sacred chants lingered.

This scene filled the primordial gods present with envy.

Once you enter the gates of sagehood, you envy all living beings.

With this, the East Sea sermon came to an end.

Eastern Buddhism, specifically Mahayana Buddhism, resounded throughout the vast land.

Countless beings, in their quest to see the Buddha, set aside their evil thoughts and only seek to enter the gate.

The Buddhist land of Yingzhou spans hundreds of millions of miles, bathed in the light of Buddha, cleansing the soul, and countless beings gather together without dispersing.

The Dragon Palace of the East Sea, representing the dragon race, presented countless magical treasures as a gesture of celebration.

After countless ancient gods departed, the ancestral witch Houtu appeared in the Buddhist land of Yingzhou.

"This method can actually reduce malevolent energy!"

Houtu was overjoyed upon noticing the changes within herself.

Unexpectedly, the Buddhist land of the East Sea has such power.

The Wu tribe, born from the essence of heaven and earth, possesses malevolent energy within them, making them the best candidates to unravel the primordial earth's veins.

It can absorb endless evil energy, causing the Wu tribe to be unable to give birth to a primordial spirit. Even after going to Zixiao Palace, Houtu still could not find the true solution.

"Is this the karmic connection that Daoist Master Guixuan spoke of?"
