Chapter 357 Harvest, Return
world.
In the mountains and forests, Bai Suzhen and the others watched as the strange phenomenon in the void disappeared.
They didn't know how Fahai was doing now.
"Sister, is he alright?"
Xiaoqing asked with a worried expression.
Bai Suzhen shook her head: "I don't know. I don't have that much ability to see the battle in the void."
"I hope it's okay."
She was also a little worried about Fahai.
After all, first they fought a great battle with Guanyin, and then it seems that even the Buddha Tathagata was alarmed.
The two sides clashed fiercely, and once they plunged into the depths of the void, the specifics of the situation became unclear.
We can only wait here.
Buzz~!
Just then, the clouds in the void split open.
A large Buddha slowly emerged, sitting on a nine-tiered lotus platform, his upper body bare, enveloped in a layer of Buddhist light.
A halo behind his head shimmers with brilliant golden Buddha light, signifying immeasurable merit.
"Buddha, Buddha?"
Bai Suzhen and the others were shocked, and then they saw clearly that the Buddha's face was none other than Fahai.
Fahai attained Buddhahood.
Moreover, it is a Buddha statue.
Good heavens, Fahai has become a Buddha?
"I have attained Buddhahood and will become the future Buddha of the Western Paradise."
Fahai raised one hand, and his voice boomed down.
"I have met the Buddha."
The crowd, inspired by a sudden inspiration, all paid their respects.
Fahai smiled slightly and raised his hand to help everyone up.
"Shifang, cultivate diligently. When you have achieved perfect enlightenment, if you wish to become a Buddha, I will guide you to Buddhahood. If you do not wish to become a Buddha, I will ask the Jade Emperor for a celestial position for you."
Fahai's words made the Jade Emperor, who was secretly watching,'s eyes light up.
Fahai's disciple actually let the other party choose for themselves?
Whether one becomes a Buddha or an immortal is a matter for the individual.
"Shifang will remember Master's teachings."
Shi Fang replied respectfully.
"..."
The Buddhas of the Western Paradise remained silent for a moment.
No, Fahai, have you forgotten that you are the future Buddha?
Shouldn't your disciple be a Buddha? Why do you want to help him become an immortal?
"World Honored One, look—"
What did the other Bodhisattvas want to say?
But Buddha smiled slightly and said, "This is the future Buddha's business. Why are you all in such a hurry? What does it have to do with you if the future Buddha teaches his own disciples?"
"..."
The Buddhas looked at each other and remained silent.
The Buddha smiled without saying a word, regardless of what Fahai's disciple wanted to do in the future.
But one thing cannot be denied: even if Shi Fang becomes an immortal and takes up a post in the Heavenly Court, so what?
He can't change the fact that he's Fahai's disciple.
On the contrary, Buddha greatly approved of this, and even hoped that all ten directions could actually take up positions in the Heavenly Court, preferably important ones.
Therefore, Tathagata saw it very clearly and agreed with Fahai's approach.
"As for you, I will not guide you to Buddhahood."
Fahai looked at Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, the other demons.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing and the others lowered their heads in disappointment.
Bai Suzhen, however, asked in surprise, "Buddha, is it because we lack Buddha-nature that we cannot become Buddhas?"
"No, you two are not a good match."
Fahai shook his head and raised his hand to beckon.
Bai Suzhen and the other demons were immediately taken away and landed outside a fairy mountain.
This is Lishan.
"This humble monk is Fahai. Please accept them as your disciples, senior."
Fahai clasped his hands together and bowed to Lishan.
"good!"
A voice came from deep within the Lishan Mountains.
The old woman of Lishan agreed.
"Good!"
"Thank you, senior."
Fahai smiled slightly, thanked them, and then turned to look at Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.
"Bai Suzhen, Qingzhu, Hu Meiniang, once you enter Lishan and become disciples of the Old Mother of Lishan, remember to diligently cultivate yourselves."
"If you do evil, you will be doomed even without my intervention."
"My karmic connection with you has ended; I bid you farewell."
After speaking, Fahai rode the golden lotus platform and flew into the void, disappearing from sight.
Only Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, along with a group of other demons, were left staring blankly at his departing figure.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to the Buddha!"
All the fairies knelt down and kowtowed.
This is to express my gratitude for Fahai's teachings and guidance all along.
"Everyone, Master has asked me to lead you up the mountain."
At that moment, a beam of light descended.
A young woman came out carrying a gun.
She was one of the disciples of the Old Mother of Lishan, and she came out to lead Bai Suzhen and others into the mountain.
"Thank you fairy!"
Bai Suzhen and the others bowed in gratitude.
The group followed the silver-armored fairy into Lishan.
They disappeared here in the blink of an eye.
————
the other side.
After dealing with Bai Suzhen and the others, Fahai arrived at the depths of hell.
"Disciple, are you leaving?"
As soon as he arrived, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva asked a question with a smile.
Fahai paused for a moment, but still nodded: "Yes, Master, your disciple is about to depart."
“Good. In the future, if you encounter any trouble, call upon your teacher.”
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva didn't ask, but answered with a smile.
"Before you leave, I will give you one more gift."
After saying this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva flipped his palm, and countless lotus flowers of merit flew over.
A rough count revealed a total of 361 flowers.
"Master?"
Fahai was shocked.
"Say no more, and keep it safe."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva offered a pointed reminder.
"Yes, disciple thanks master."
Fahai respectfully bowed and thanked Ksitigarbha.
"Go."
Ksitigarbha waved his hand.
"The disciple retire."
Fahai bid farewell to Ksitigarbha and returned to the Western Paradise.
His actions naturally fell into the eyes of all Buddhas.
In particular, Guanyin was very annoyed to see Bai Suzhen become a disciple of the Old Mother of Lishan.
This was supposed to be her plan, but Fahai messed it up.
Fahai was originally part of the plan, and now it's all settled.
Fahai has become a Buddha, and Bai Suzhen has become a disciple of the Old Mother of Lishan.
As for Xu Xian?
It's already ruined, it's useless now.
"Is there no reward for attaining Buddhahood?"
Fahai muttered something indifferently.
"..."
All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats present were completely dumbfounded as they looked at Fahai.
No, you've already become the future Buddha, what reward do you need?
"The future Buddha's return to his rightful place is a great blessing for Buddhism."
"Dang Qing!"
With a wave of his hand, Buddha's light descended from the sky.
Then countless Buddhist treasures flew out, and a huge treasure trove came into view.
“Buddha from the East, take whatever you want.”
The Buddha generously opened the treasure trove of Buddhism in the Western Paradise.
Fahai looked at the countless Buddhist treasures inside, and golden lotuses blooming in the Merit Pool.
"Is it alright if I pick a Golden Lotus of Merit?"
Fahai looked at Tathagata with a smile.
"No problem, the future Buddha may pick them as he pleases."
The Buddha smiled and said, "Anything from the Western Paradise that any Buddha desires may be taken by themselves."
"..."
Upon hearing this, all the Buddhas lowered their heads, none of them wanting to speak.
"Take what you like"—anyone who believes that is out of their mind.
You have to be able to beat me. Fahai was a ruthless man who actually went head-to-head with Buddha and shattered Buddha's golden body.
They even made Buddha enter Nirvana once more. Isn't that ruthless?
They earned this treatment through hard work, and they also have a powerful figure backing them up.
"Good!"
Fahai clasped his hands together and plucked a nine-grade golden lotus of merit from the center.
Upon seeing this, the Buddha's lips twitched, but he still maintained a compassionate smile.
Fortunately, Fahai didn't take too many; one flower was enough.
No one likes insatiable greed, but he knows his limits.
Subsequently, Fahai entered the Lingshan Treasure Vault.
Inside, I witnessed the vast resources of the Lingshan Buddhist sect, with countless treasures.
He selected a kasaya and a Zen staff from Buddhist treasures and stored them in his system space.
He then collected a large amount of materials, including various refining and alchemy materials.
He wasn't greedy; he took one of everything, which made all the Buddhas' brows twitch, their eyes revealing a hint of envy and a pang of heartache.
Yes, even Buddha's eyes showed a hint of pain.
"All right."
Fahai emerged from the treasure vault of Mount Ling.
"I also wish to study all the Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise. What is the World Honored One's opinion?"
As soon as Fahai returned, he began to express his thoughts.
"Great!"
The Buddha nodded slightly, raised his hand, and a pagoda appeared in the Great Thunderclap Temple.
It contains all the scriptures from the Western Paradise.
"Thank you!"
Fahai clasped his hands together and flew into the pagoda on a lotus platform.
As Fahai departed, all the Buddhas present looked at each other in bewilderment.
What does that mean? Fahai isn't satisfied with the status quo?
Only the Buddha sat there calmly, without saying a word or offering any explanation.
Time passed day by day, and three years later, Fahai emerged from the pagoda.
His body radiated an intense Buddhist aura, his entire being enveloped in Buddhist nature, exuding a grand Buddhist charm, with chanting Buddhist sounds emanating from him, and illusory images of Buddhas following him.
This scene was witnessed by the Buddhas of the Western Paradise, who stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage to the Ancestor?"
"Congratulations to the Buddha of the East on the Mahayana Buddhism!"
All the Buddhas offered their congratulations, their expressions solemn and their hearts filled with sincere admiration.
"Good, good!"
"May the Buddha Donglai's Buddhist teachings reach a higher level."
The joy on Buddha's face deepened.
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
Fahai sat regally on the lotus throne, his entire appearance solemn and dignified, his hands clasped together, truly embodying the majesty of the Buddha.
"System, return!"
With his eyes closed, Su Ming's primordial spirit disappeared into Fahai's body.
The moment he disappeared, Buddha's expression shifted, and his smile deepened.
"Good!"
The Buddha clasped his hands together and looked at Fahai with a peaceful expression.
At this moment, Fahai slowly awoke, and countless pieces of information and memories flooded into his primordial spirit.
Fahai was completely dumbfounded.
As he watched scene after scene, one incident after another, Fahai felt his scalp tingle.
After receiving all the information, insights, and battle information, he fell silent.
His body was a mixture of Buddhist light and demonic energy, which quickly subsided.
"Am I destined to become the future Buddha?"
Fahai's lips curled into a smile.
As he opened his eyes, he met the Buddha's kind face.
"Bold monster!"
Fahai instinctively shouted, but stopped just as he was about to make a move.
He remembered that the person opposite him was the Buddha.
"..."
The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats of the Western Paradise stared at him in disbelief.
The Buddha's lips twitched; he desperately wanted to suppress the other party.
But then he thought about how Fahai's strength was now no less than his own.
Moreover, Buddha realized that he had spent a great deal of his wealth, and his original intention was to awaken Fahai so that he could eventually become a Buddha.
But the result was unexpectedly good, almost too good. Thinking of this, Tathagata's mood immediately calmed down.
"Good, good!"
The Buddha closed his eyes and sat there without saying a word.
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
Fahai sat down again, his appearance solemn and dignified.
"..."
The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats looked at each other in bewilderment.
What kind of riddle are you two Buddhas playing?
