BXBX NOVEL Chapter 264: The World-Honored One!
In front of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.
Buddha’s radiance permeated and shone everywhere.
The moment when Su Qin used the [Buddha’s Palm] 1st Form, his mind was infinitely elevated. It was as if he was one with the Golden Buddha.
“This feeling?”
Su Qin suddenly felt that the Golden Buddha in the depths of his eyebrows had suddenly trembled, as countless insights poured into his heart. At this moment, Su Qin seemed to have been incarnated as the Supreme One.
“Is this the [Buddha’s Palm]?”
Su Qin was fascinated. While using the [Buddha’s Palm], he felt that everything in the world was under his control. Even space itself could be shattered.
Of course, Su Qin also knew that this was just his illusion. After all, how stable is the space? Even if it was an Earth Immortal attempting to do so, he wouldn’t be able to break the space, not to mention Su Qin.
The [Buddha’s Palm] was certainly strong, but the overall output was still based on Su Qin’s strength. As Su Qin grows stronger, the [Buddha’s Palm] would likewise get stronger.
If Qin’s strength was weak, [Buddha’s Palm] will also not be able to exert much power.
“Once this palm really hits, I’m afraid even an Earth Immortal will have to retreat thousands of miles, right?”
A smile appeared on Su Qin’s face.
Although he had not faced an Earth Immortal, he had seen the remains of the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea on the Ying State Monster Island.
The True Monarch of the Eastern Sea was a Peak Earth Immortal and his corpse remained intact, even after tens of thousands of years. There’s even an aura of an Earth Immortal that remained.
Su Qin had inspected the residual aura and gained some subtle insights from it. Although it was impossible to determine how strong an Earth Immortal was without seeing them in the flesh, the current [Buddha’s Palm], in terms of pure power, had reached the Earth Immortal Realm.
“Alas, it is too consuming…”
Su Qin’s heart sank.
In just a moment after he used the [Buddha’s Palm], and not even using it to actually attack, his True Essence and Divine Sense was being crazily consumed. At this rate, once Su Qin really attacked with the palm, wouldn’t he be left with less than 20% of his True Essence and Divine Sense?
“However, this is a great trump card to have. Even if I really encounter an Earth Immortal in the future, I would be able to resist a few times.”
Su Qin thought silently.
While Su Qin was thinking…
“This is Buddha…”
“The real Buddha!”
The 6th Ancestor’s hands trembled, as tears began to flow down his face. When he arrived at his Realm, he had long given up the hope of entering the Great Arhat Realm. The only thing he pursued was the fact that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall would be able to last and dedicate itself to the Buddha for thousands of years.
In fact, this was the pursuit of all the Peak Arhats in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall in the past.
However, it was a pity that even in the last prosperous era and a prospering Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, they had not found Buddha, not to mention in this current era of a dry spell.
But at this moment, the aura that Su Qin was giving and especially the Golden Buddha image, was almost the same as the Buddha that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall had been pursuing for thousands of years.
[Puff~]
[Puff~]
Many disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall began kneeling, one by one, as they bowed their heads, not daring to look.
“Is this person the reincarnation of a certain Buddha?” The 7th Ancestor’s eyes were dull and his heart trembled deeply.
In the eyes of the 7th Ancestor, if Su Qin was a real Buddha, he would have swept this world long ago. Although Su Qin’s strength was strong, he was obviously far behind the real Buddha.
It’s just that, the scene in front of him at this time accentuated that Su Qin was a being that overlooked all beings. Who can do this, except a real Buddha?
This was why the 7th Ancestor thought that Su Qin was the reincarnation of a Buddha.
[Weng weng weng~]!
Su Qin’s mind was integrated into the Golden Buddha. He can decide when to use the [Buddha’s Palm]’s 1st Form at any time. With the power of ’Only I Am Supreme’, the entire Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall will definitely be turned into ashes. The 7th and 9th Ancestor, as well as the disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, will also become nothingness along with it.
But Su Qin didn’t immediately do it.
Although the 9th Ancestor broke into the Shaolin Temple, he did not harm the life of any disciple in the Shaolin Temple. Even the Martial Monk Court Head, who attacked the 9th Ancestor, was only immobilized for only a moment before recovering afterwards.
In a certain way, although what the 9th Ancestor did was wrong, it was not a crime that calls for death. Even if Su Qin would decisively kill or he would avoid killing, he would not just kill indiscriminately.
Thinking of this, Su Qin slowly retracted the [Buddha’s Palm]. The Buddha’s radiance and all of the other ethereal phenomena slowly dissipated.
From the outside, Su Qin was still standing on the same spot and hadn’t even moved a bit, but everyone in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, from the common disciple to the Ancestors, all knelt on the ground, trembling.
“If the 1st Form of the [Buddha’s Palm] already has such terrifying power, what about the 2nd Form, the 3rd and even the 9th Form?”
Su Qin had a look of expectation on his face.
The [Buddha’s Palm] has 9 Forms. These 9th Forms have no distinction between which is stronger, instead they symbolize different aspects.
For example, [Buddha’s Palm]’s 1st Form: ‘Only I Am Supreme’, represents the ultimate attack while the 3rd Form: ‘The Pure Land In One’s Palm’, represents the ultimate seal.
The nine forms of [Buddha’s Palm] had nothing in common with each other. Each had its own magical effect.
Su Qin slowly walked into the front of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall and his gaze swept across the many Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall disciples.
Wherever Su Qin’s gaze went, the disciples would shudder and bow, afraid to look directly at him.
The aura that Su Qin showed just now was almost like the Buddha that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall were pursuing. There was a kind of innate awe that they felt towards Su Qin. It was as if they were looking directly at the Buddha statue enshrined in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.
After a moment, Su Qin’s gaze finished sweeping across the entire Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, but still, no one dared to look at him.
The 6th Ancestor was also bowing and suppressing the enthusiasm in his heart. He carefully moved towards Su Qin and said: “I have seen the World-Honored One, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall has committed a grave sin. Daring to stop the World-Honored One…”
The ‘World-Honored One’ was the honorific name of the Buddha, which means the most noble in the world. At this moment, the 6th Ancestor had regarded Su Qin as a real Buddha, otherwise he wouldn’t call Su Qin by this.
“World-Honored One…”
The 7th Ancestor and the 9th Ancestor trembled.
They had only seen the title the “World-Honored One” in the Buddhist scriptures. Even in the last prosperous era, no one was qualified to be called the “World-Honored One.” But now, one was actually right in front of them!
Choosing who gets to be called the ‘World-Honored One’ was not only determined by strength. Even if one was monstrous enough to destroy the Heavens and Earth, he wouldn’t necessarily be called ‘the World-Honored One’. It was more like an identity, the world is vast and noble.
“World-Honored One?”
Su Qin shook his head slightly. He had been in the Shaolin Temple for more than 20 years, how can he not understand the meaning of “World-Honored One”?
It’s just that Su Qin was too lazy to explain the specifics and that the [Buddha’s Palm] was known as the Buddha’s personal technique. But then again, Su Qin mastering the nine forms of [Buddha’s Palm] was equivalent to him being a half disciple of Buddha. Not to mention that there’s the Golden Buddha in the depths of his eyebrows.
In the end, even if Su Qin said that he was the reincarnation of a Buddha, some people would believe it.
“Your three Peak Arhats are here?” Su Qin looked at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall and casually asked.
This Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall obviously wasn’t built a long time ago, and there was not much ‘Dao Accumulation’, so Su Qin lacked interest in it.
“Replying to the World-Honored One.”
The 6th Ancestor respectfully said: “Yes, the vitality has just begun to recover. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall came to occupy a territory, to welcome the new prosperous era of the future.”
“The prosperous era?”
Su Qin repeated in a low voice.
He has heard these two words more than once. The Old Taoist had mentioned it and it was also in the jade stone left by the True Monarch of the Eastern Sea.
It was as if in the eyes of all Martial Artists, the prosperous era will be an extremely bright time.
But for Su Qin, this was not the case.
Su Qin had been observing the continent, from when the vitality just began to recover.
The prosperous era would not exist forever.
There will be a day where it will begin to decline again, it’s a cycle.
“World-Honored One, should I inform the 1st Ancestor and the others to come pay respects to the World-Honored One?” The 6th Ancestor suppressed his excitement and said with a trembling voice.
In front of the World-Honored One, let alone a Peak Arhat like him, even a Great Arhat would not fare any better than what the 6th Ancestor had been acting.
“1st ancestor?”
Su Qin’s eyes slightly narrowed.
Before leaving Chang’an City, the Old Taoist Priest had already told Su Qin about the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.
There were nine Ancestors sleeping in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.
The 1st to the 3rd Ancestor were the strongest. Especially the 1st Ancestor, who was half a step into the Great Arhat Realm.
Although he ultimately failed in the end, his grasp of the True Essence was definitely far more than the ordinary Peak Arhat.
“No need.”
Su Qin shook his head slightly. He walked slowly to a not far away place and stopped where the All Souls Buddha Lamp had fallen.
“World-Honored One, the All Souls Buddha Lamp should be completely damaged.” The 6th Ancestor cautiously looked at the All Souls Buddha Lamp, and said with great heartache.
The All Souls Buddha Lamp was a treasure of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. It had sheltered the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall for a long period of time. To some extent, the importance of the All Souls Buddha Lamp was above the Ancestors.
After all, whether it was the 9th Ancestor, the 8th Ancestor, or the 1st Ancestor and 2nd Ancestor, even if they preserve themselves, there will eventually be a day that they will die. It’s just delaying the inevitable.
But the All Souls Buddha Lamp was different.
As a Buddhist treasure, as long as it was properly cultivated, it can survive for thousands of years and it could keep sheltering the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.
Therefore, the All Souls Buddha Lamp was definitely more important than the Ancestors.
“Really?”
Su Qin slightly smiled. Under the [Eyes of Truth]’s observation, he saw far more clearly than the 6th Ancestor.
On the surface, although it seems that the aura had dissipated and the Artifact Spirit was extinguished, in fact, it was still there. Albeit, hidden in the deepest part of the lamp.
This deepest part, even a Peak Arhat like the 6th Ancestor, wouldn’t be able to perceive it.
Strictly speaking, the All Souls Buddha Lamp ended up like this because of Su Qin.
When Su Qin used the [Buddha’s Palm], the All Souls Buddha Lamp’s Artifact Spirit was ‘scared.’
It escaped into the depths of the lamp and did not dare to come out.
Su Qin calmly picked up the All Souls Buddha Lamp and tapped the lamp lightly with his right hand a few times.
In an instant, under the dumbfounded gaze of the 6th, 7th, 9th Ancestor and the others.
The All Souls Buddha Lamp, which was ‘broken‘, suddenly ignited again. The lamp flickered, as it emitted a faint Buddha’s radiance.
