As soon as Su Changqing finished speaking, Kasyapa was already seething with rage, reprimanding sharply, "Who are you to dare speak to me, ’the Buddha,’ in such a manner!" At this moment, not only Kasyapa, but all the Buddhist practitioners on Mount Ling were glaring angrily. As if Su Changqing had committed a grave sin. Su Changqing responded calmly, "The Buddha speaks of the equality of all beings, does status still matter?" "If it is equality, why is ’the Buddha’ so special?" "The true Buddha helps all beings escape suffering, not create it." "A Buddha should have great tolerance and great aspirations; one who has all beings in heart is the Buddha in my heart!" These words almost overturned the doctrines of the Buddhist sect, filling all present Buddhist practitioners with both anger and shock. They were furious at Su Changqing for offending ’the Buddha.’ Yet they were also shocked by Su Changqing’s concept of ’the Buddha.’ For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩 They wanted to refute, but in the end, found no reason to argue. Is Amitabha Buddha’s concept narrow? Because under the sky, besides Amitabha Buddha, no other can become a Buddha. This is evident from the endless ages where no one in Buddhism has ever become an emperor. Amitabha Buddha’s concept of Buddha is too solitary. While Su Changqing’s concept of Buddha is too vast, so vast that no one dares to think of it. "Is every being a Buddha?" "Then... wouldn’t that be the true Buddha Country?" On Mount Ling, a novice monk who had just entered murmured. It was this very sentence that made Amitabha Buddha, who had been in deep thought, shudder all over, his pupils constricting. "Could that be... the true Buddha Country?" Buddha Country, it was the lifelong pursuit of Amitabha Buddha’s cultivation journey. He always thought that to establish a Buddha Country, it was necessary to ’convert’ all beings. Using his own power, to subdue all worlds, letting Buddha’s light shine in every corner of the world. Abolish all the world’s laws, respecting only the Buddha’s way; when all the Ten Thousand Races practice the Buddha’s way, that’s when a Buddha Country would be established. This was the only way Amitabha Buddha could think of. Or rather, the ’true meaning’ of his Buddhist path only allowed for this one method. Today, a simple sentence from a novice monk struck him like a lightning bolt, leaving him petrified on the spot. Buddha Country, it turns out there is another way to achieve it. That is... all beings becoming Buddha! His Buddhist path was to subdue the heavens, spreading Buddha’s light, establishing a Buddha Country. But what Su Changqing mentioned was everyone becoming a Buddha, then there would be no need to establish a Buddha Country; the Buddha Country would establish itself. These are fundamentally different. One oppresses, the other is voluntary, the difference is worlds apart. Not to mention the cultivation realm, just talking about the doctrine and the true essence of Buddhist philosophy, Amitabha Buddha was almost thoroughly defeated. Amitabha Buddha murmured to himself. This line, Yan had once said to him too. But at the time, engulfed by his own grand ambition of a ’Buddha Country,’ he couldn’t hear it at all. Yet today, when someone resembling ’Yan’ said it again, he felt a whole new sensation. At this time, not only him but even the nearby Xianxian and Juexian, looked at Su Changqing with eyes flickering with amazement. "His understanding of the Buddha... is exactly like Yan’s." Xianxian murmured in a daze, "Juexian, is he really not Yan?" Juexian did not speak, merely looked intently at Su Changqing. However, after a moment, he sighed powerlessly, "I don’t know, unless the four swords unite and achieve the pinnacle of ’ancient times.’ Otherwise, the entangled karma around him would obscure everything." Xianxian spoke no more, merely looking towards Amitabha Buddha opposite. At this time, whether Su Changqing is Yan or not, it no longer mattered. What mattered was whether Su Changqing could change Amitabha Buddha’s mind. If Amitabha Buddha could be changed, then the continent would have a terrifyingly strong ally. Then the future decisive battle might involve more than just demons. "Chang Qing, why do you provoke him?" "This person is very dangerous; we might as well leave now." Seeing Su Changqing’s risky move, Wu Jiuling couldn’t help but communicate telepathically. "Teacher, the Western Region is very important to me." "My method requires preaching to all beings, using their strength to perfect my own laws." Su Changqing said helplessly, "The inheritance of the new law is too difficult; only by overthrowing a school of thought can my law be accepted." "The Western Region, this is my only chance." He of course knew Amitabha Buddha was strong, and if not necessary, he didn’t want to provoke the other. But the path he walks involves a struggle of doctrines, and he himself carries the teachings of ’Mahayana Buddhism.’ Such a rare opportunity, if missed, he did not know how long he’d have to wait again. Therefore, even knowing the danger, he had to try! "New law? Preach to all beings?" Wu Jiuling was shocked upon hearing this. This was the first time he learned of the path Su Changqing intended to take. And he felt horrified by the difficulty of the other’s path. The world’s three thousand great ways are the same, but the cultivation methods are different. The new law is to overthrow the system of ’Divine Body, Divine Spirit, Divine Aspect, Divine Law, Divine Principle.’ In the Cangyan Continent’s cultivation history, this system has become deeply entrenched, almost unshakeable by anyone. If a new law were to appear now, it would be no different from heresy, even more frightening than demons! Because, it shakes the very foundation of the continent’s cultivation! No school of thought in the world would agree to this! "Preach to all beings, still enforcing a new law..." Wu Jiuling murmured with a bitter smile, "This is a dead-end road, how can you walk it through?" Not sure what he thought of, Wu Jiuling’s eyes flashed, turning to look at the distant heavens. "Unless... there is a... new world." With that thought, Wu Jiuling cast a glance at Su Changqing, then lowered his gaze into contemplation.
