Chapter 2015: Hua Taixu’s Past Life
If they wanted to defeat the giant buddha, the first thing they must do is to cut off his connection with the western world army.
“I’ll send you there.” Qin Wentian spoke. Time flowed by, his figure along with Hua Taixu directly vanished. They passed through space and appeared behind the giant buddha, in the airspace above the western world army. Countless gazes turned to them but those people in the western world army soon lowered their heads like they didn’t mind it at all. Right now, all the experts in the western world army were linked as one. They had no regards for any experts.
A golden lotus with six petals appeared. It continued to bloom as more petals manifested. In the blink of an eye, that lotus had already enveloped this space and continued growing towards the direction of Qin Wentian and Hua Taixu. There seemed to be countless faces within the petals which branded themselves into Qin Wentian and Hua Taixu’s souls. This made them feel like there was a lotus directly growing within their souls, threatening to rend their lives and spirits.
The buddha arts were boundlessly profound and unfathomable. Now that all faith of the western world army was gathered onto one person, it was extremely difficult to defend against its power when this attack was unleashed by the Buddha Sovereign.
“You go, leave this to me.” Qin Wentian spoke. His figure flashed and directly stepped into the countless petals. His body was then completely enveloped and after that, the petals that could destroy everything, began to close. But at this moment, from within, a sharp tearing sound could be heard. After that, numerous holes manifested as cracks appeared on the petals. Hua Taixu left the area through the cracks as he unleashed his own dao art power.
And when Qin Wentian and Hua Taixu acted, Qin Yuanfeng and the Grim Reaper also moved. Qin Yuanfeng’s figure was incomparably imposing. He stepped out and expanded in form, resembling a god. The light from the six paths shot out, forming into six vertices. His palms slammed out, blotting out the sky. These vertices then flew towards the giant buddha head, wanting to devour the head into the six paths.
The Grim Reaper turned his gaze towards the giant buddha. After that, his astral soul that was behind him began to radiate rays of death that caused death spirits to be born everywhere the rays passed, seeking to envelop all buddhas.
Qin Wentian, Qin Yuanfeng, and the Grim Reaper were currently three of the strongest characters standing at the peak in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. When the three of them joined forces, even the giant buddha would be tied up for some time. In the battlefield where Qin Wentian was in, the petals continued to break apart. Qin Wentian glanced in the direction of Hua Taixu only to see a stretch of samsara light manifesting, shining down on the western world army.
At this moment, Hua Taixu was incomparably resplendent, resembling the god of samsara and reincarnation. In fact, Qin Wentian could even feel buddhic energy from him. It was like Hua Taixu had also cultivated the buddhist path before.
The western world army was enveloped by the samsara light. All of them entered an illusory cycle of samsara as everything they have ever experienced played through once again in their minds. These scenes were all of intense emotions, ones where they were moved emotionally. Their loved ones, their companions, the sacrifices their friends made for them, how their masters sincerely nurtured them... all of these scenes flashed through their minds, completely different from what the Buddha Sovereign showed them before.
Two different types of faith energy clashed within them. The light radiating from Hua Taixu’s body grew brighter as he softly spoke. “Initially, I cultivated the emotionless dao of samsara. However, despite me extinguishing my emotions for an entire lifetime, I still don’t know what’s the ultimate goal for my cultivation. After giving up everything and entering reincarnation once more, only then did I learn that being emotionless is just a middle point to verify how important having emotions is during my cultivation in my second lifetime. No emotions, no love, no desires, no needs. Would I still be a human? That would be nothing but a zombie, a puppet of the heavenly dao.”
His voice entered the minds of everyone. Those who heard it could feel the emotions within as their wills wavered.
Many in the western world army started to awaken, no longer blindly providing their faith. They were in a daze. As they awakened, the power unleashed by the giant buddha against the Grim Reaper and Qin Yuanfeng seemed to be weakening bit by bit. But even then, it was extremely powerful.
Numerous buddha lords from the western paradise turned their gazes to Hua Taixu. One of the buddha lords pressed his palms together and spoke, “So, it’s junior apprentice brother that has returned. Why do you not return to the buddha dao, but instead choose to harm the believers instead?”
“Junior apprentice brother?” Everyone felt their hearts trembling when they heard the buddha lord’s words, feeling somewhat unbelievable. A buddha lord of the western paradise actually referred to Hua Taixu as ‘junior apprentice brother’?
The eyes of a few major characters of the hegemonic powers flashed as they thought of a person. After that, their hearts pounded violently.
“You all know him?” Yue Changkong glanced at the people around him.
“The buddha lords of the western paradise all cultivate different daos. The dao of karma, the dao of reincarnation, the dao of the other shore, the dao of samsara... Many years ago, a buddhist cultivator with supreme talent appeared in the western paradise. His attainments in Buddhism were extremely deep and he was well versed in the myriad of buddha arts and techniques. He was the youngest buddha lord in the western paradise and possessed startling comprehension abilities. In order to gain insights into the dao of samsara, he severed his emotions. With a single glance, he could cause his target to sink inside the cycle of samsara forever, unable to extricate themselves to the point where they would choose suicide. His attainments were unfathomable.”
The God Destruction Palace Leader continued, “However, after that, it’s rumoured that he began to doubt his own cultivation, feeling that there was a mistake somewhere. He could feel an invisible shackle. In the end, the doubts intensified to the extent whereby this supreme buddha lord character began to question the Buddhist Sect. His personality was rebellious by nature and he simply did what he wanted to. Because he was a man of no emotions, no one could do anything to him. The other buddha lords eventually joined forces to suppressed him but he killed one of them instead and managed to escape from the western paradise. After that, there was no longer any news about him. Someone claimed that he was cultivating silently, others claimed that he was already hunted down by the western paradise. There’s another rumour that states that he was tempering himself in samsara. Now, it seems that the last rumor was the more accurate one. He gave up everything and entered the cycle of samsara and not only is he not an emotionless man, he was a man filled with emotions and came to the conclusion that emotionless was nothing but a yardstick so one could measure how important emotions are.”
Yue Changkong’s eyes flashed. Regardless of his past life as a godking or this life as Yue Changkong, he seemed to have missed the era of this supreme buddha lord. Because he had no idea about Hua Taixu’s story, he didn’t expect another legendary character like this to have existed. In the past, he cultivated an emotionless dao yet he was a man of emotions today. These two types of contrast could allow one to better understand the great dao completely. No wonder he was so powerful today.
“Back then, I already felt that the western paradise’s daos were wrong. And now, the current actions of the western paradise have indeed verified that my past actions in leaving were correct. The me in the past wasn’t qualified to have the title of a buddha lord and was unworthy of being a buddhist cultivator. In this life, I no longer cultivate the buddha path but I know one thing for sure. The western paradise isn’t worthy of representing Buddhism.” Hua Taixu spoke.
“Vile creature. You betrayed our sect and you still dare to bewitch people with your lies? You ought to be killed today.” Another buddha lord angrily spoke. However, Hua Taixu didn’t care. His dao continued to be unleashed as its light bore down on the western world army.
