Chapter 777: Benefactor, You Are Destined to Meet My Master 2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
It was clear.The Great Tang Emperor was not entirely spineless.
Right now, he was bowing to both Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha only because he did not know their intentions. Moreover, he did not understand why the Western Buddhas suddenly appeared at this time and what their purpose was.
He also did not know why these two Buddhas had suddenly appeared in his Yangxin Hall and what they were here for.
With a mindset that more trouble is less welcome than less, the Great Tang Emperor thought to avoid angering Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha as much as possible. If they had any requests, he would try to accommodate them for the time being. Later, after he regained control of Tang Chang’an City from the unknown Cheng Guang, he would make further plans.
The things he had lost,
...
he intended to take them all back, one by one.
The Great Tang Emperor’s hand covertly clenched slowly; he had just performed a Primordial Spirit Release with the intention of informing the Sects he already controlled to let Great Zhou attack Tang Chang’an City.
To use the blood of living beings as a sacrifice to activate Tang Chang’an City’s contingency measures.
However, his Primordial Spirit had not managed to ascend far before he encountered Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha.
The Great Tang Emperor did not want to conflict with Guangyin Buddha or Cleansing Thought Buddha in any way.
The fact that the unknown Cheng Guang had taken control of Tang Chang’an City was already giving the Great Tang Emperor a severe headache. If Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha were added to the mix, and if he were to run into trouble with them, the Great Tang Emperor would truly be in tears without crying.
The Great Tang Emperor had no wish to trouble or conflict with Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha.
But Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha apparently did not think the same.
Guangyin Buddha’s lips curled into a faint smile, a holy smile that seemed out of place on his grey, solemn face, “Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, you are destined to be with my master.”
“If you convert to my master, I can spare your life.”
Guangyin Buddha’s voice was neither loud nor soft, simply a bit hoarse, and at the same time, deep and majestic.
The Great Tang Emperor, upon hearing this, was taken aback, “Your master?”
“Convert to Buddha Sect?”
The Great Tang Emperor repeated the words of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, then his expression turned incredibly unsightly, practically biting out each word from his mouth with the questions he held.
Guangyin Buddha shook his head.
“How can you say that?”
“It’s not conversion to the Buddha Sect, it’s conversion to my master.”
“Who is your master?” The Great Tang Emperor raised his eyebrows, unable to resist asking aloud.
To the Great Tang Emperor, the master of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha could only be the Buddha Ancestor.
Although calling him “master” was a bit strange.
But the people of the Buddha Sect were always very strange.
After something went wrong with their cultivation, one Buddha after another became capricious in nature, or perhaps they were always like this, and their true colors intensified over time.
Even now, as the grand Dao had begun to show signs of repair, the pollution that had once affected them, even the Buddhas, could not be fully removed.
The appearance of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha at this time well illustrated this point.
Guangyin Buddha shook his head again, the smile on his face growing denser and more respectful as he looked into the distance, “My master is my master.”
“You don’t need to ask who it is.”
“You just need to answer, convert or not.”
Guangyin Buddha had no intention of wasting words with the Great Tang Emperor, and had stated his purpose plainly, demanding a clear response from the Great Tang Emperor.
The Great Tang Emperor’s brow furrowed slightly, his expression turning even more unsightly.
He could see.
The realms of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha weren’t particularly high.
At this moment, he was in the same predicament as them.
If a battle truly broke out, it was uncertain who would win or lose.
Besides,
the Buddha Sect had suffered great damage in the past and had lost much of its strength. In the current world, it was uncertain if they still had the power to crush everything.
The Great Tang Emperor was greatly dissatisfied in his heart. Even when the Western Buddhas were at their zenith, he had little fondness for the divine deities above or the Western Buddhas. Had he not been powerless at the time, he would likely have initiated a great battle with the Immortal Buddhas.
But now the problem was that he had regained his strength.
The Immortal Buddhas had already suffered great losses.
The Great Tang Emperor had awoken from ancient times, regaining the strength to contend for the heavenly Dao.
How could he willingly become a lapdog of the Buddha Sect?
Even though at this moment the Great Tang Emperor was ninety percent unwilling to engage in conflict with Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, he simply could not accept becoming a lackey of the Buddha Sect.
“Two Holy Buddhas, could there be some misunderstanding between us? I am also a person full of reverence for Buddha. I am already a follower of Buddha,” said the Great Tang Emperor, mustering a forced smile as he spoke slowly to Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, trying to salvage the situation.
At this point, he still needed to focus his thoughts on Great Tang Chang’an City. Wasting time and cultivation on Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha was truly not worth it.
Moreover,
the Great Tang Emperor had no confidence in his heart.
He had a rough understanding of the power of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, but since he had never actually fought them, he lacked a clear understanding of how much it would cost to subdue the two of them.
If he somehow managed to subdue Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, no matter the cost, the Great Tang Emperor could reluctantly accept it.
But if.
If he did not defeat Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha.
The thought of the consequences was something the Great Tang Emperor dared not even contemplate.
Just the thought of his fate, should he lose, caused an involuntary shiver through his entire body.
The Great Tang Emperor rarely felt this kind of chill.
This chilling feeling was not because the Great Tang Emperor feared death but because he did not want his Great Tang to be trampled by the Buddha Sect before it even began.
He did not want his Great Tang to be extinguished in such a manner.
If it were to be eradicated by the Buddha Sect, it would be a complete joke.
His years of effort and his dream of contending with the Immortal Buddha for the world would all become a joke.
“You have not taken refuge.”
Guangyin Buddha was neither smiling nor angry, but said calmly, “If you have taken refuge, offer up a strand of your lifebound spirit soul.”
Upon hearing these words from Guangyin Buddha,
the Great Tang Emperor’s eyebrows twitched violently.
The lifebound spirit soul!?
The soul is the root of a person.
The higher one’s cultivation realm, the more undeniably crucial the Primordial Spirit, or one might say the spirit soul, becomes for a person.
A person can be without Qi.
A person can be without arms.
A person can be without the use of their legs.
All this means they can still live, though it may mean some impediments in actions, without any significant constraints.
But the spirit soul is different.
Without the spirit soul, one would die.
To hand over one’s lifebound spirit soul to another is akin to giving your life to someone else.
The Great Tang Emperor knew that once his lifebound spirit soul was in the hands of Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, his life would no longer be his own.
How could the Great Tang Emperor possibly be willing to hand over his lifebound spirit soul?
“Holy Buddha…”
The smile on the Great Tang Emperor’s face turned stiff, and his complexion faintly grew very unsightly as the anger within him surged uncontrollably outward, tossing the tables and chairs about in Yangxin Hall, sending them flying everywhere.
“Holy Buddha, that joke is quite extreme, wouldn’t you say?” remarked the Great Tang Emperor to Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, who faced his outburst with no hint of emotional disturbance, only a calm gaze.
“Do you think we are joking?” asked Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha.
The Great Tang Emperor was silent.
Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha said nothing more, waiting for the Great Tang Emperor to make his choice.
At the same time.
Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha were no fools.
They knew, naturally, that the Great Tang Emperor would definitely not agree.
So they had already prepared themselves.
Wearinge an amused look as they watched the Great Tang Emperor, they were ready for him to make his move.
