Peerless God Emperor

2After the Infinite Buddha had left, Qin Xuan concentrated on reading the scriptures he had left behind. He read them very carefully, and when he reached a profound point, he stopped and closed his eyes in thought until he had an answer in his heart before he continued to read.    

    

Time passed by without him noticing. Qin Xuan was completely immersed in the state of comprehension, and he did not know the passage of time. There were no distracting thoughts in his mind except for the contents of the scripture.    

    

On this day, the Infinite Buddha came to the peak of the Buddha Mountain to answer Qin Xuan's questions.    

    

"The Buddhist scriptures have a saying: "The five elements are empty, and all hardships will be overcome. I have been thinking hard for a long time, but I am unable to figure out the meaning of these words. What do you mean by the five elements? And how do I overcome all the sufferings? Qin Xuan looked at the Immeasurable Buddha and asked.    

    

"The five elements are the form, emotion, intent, actions, and heart. When your five elements reach the ethereal state, all the suffering in the world will leave you." The Infinite Buddha patiently explained.    

    

"Doesn't this mean that there is no desire or desire?" Qin Xuan asked.    

    

"Not at all." The Infinite Buddha shook his head and nodded: "The so-called ethereal state is not that there is no desire, but rather, it follows the laws of the world, and does not change it on purpose. This does not mean that there is no desire or desire, but rather, one has to abide by one's heart and follow according to the Heavenly Dao."    

    

Qin Xuan nodded as if he had understood something. Then, he asked curiously, "Senior, have you reached this realm?"    

    

"Nope." The Immeasurable Buddha shook his head with a smile and replied, "This is the ultimate realm of Buddhist Tao. From ancient times until now, there has only been one Buddha who has reached it."    

    

Qin Xuan's expression immediately froze. Then, he thought of someone and asked tentatively, "Nan Wu Sakyamuni Buddha?"    

    

"Of course." The Infinite Buddha nodded with a smile.    

    

Qin Xuan's heart trembled slightly. Even the Supreme Buddha had not reached such a realm. It could be seen how difficult this realm was.    

    

After that, he became suspicious and asked, "Since the Namo Sakyamuni has reached this level, how did he die?"    

    

According to what he knew, the Namo Buddha was an extremely ancient existence. When he fell, the great ancient war had yet to erupt. So just what kind of power was able to cause the death of such a peerless expert?    

    

"Namo Sakyamuni has not perished. Instead, he's benefiting the common people." The Infinite Buddha spoke slowly as a solemn expression appeared on his face.    

    

"Benefiting the masses?" Qin Xuan became even more puzzled in his heart.    

    

"Shakyamuni Nan Wukong fused all of his life's cultivation into the Heavenly Dao and became a part of the Heavenly Dao. From this, the Dao of Buddha was born. All the cultivators in the world are disciples of Shakyamuni Nanwu, so they are honored with the title of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas." The Infinite Buddha slowly opened his mouth and answered Qin Xuan's doubts.    

    

After Qin Xuan heard this, his heart was filled with shock. The Heavenly Dao was the highest level of power in the entire Nine Profound Star Field, yet Namo Shakya was able to fuse his own power into the Heavenly Dao. This meant that his strength had already reached the same level as the Heavenly Dao.    

    

In other words, wouldn't Namo Shakya's strength be on par with that of a Divine King?!    

    

However, after careful consideration, the shock in Qin Xuan's heart gradually calmed down. The Namo Buddha was the grand-disciple of the Namo Sakyamuni Buddha, and the Namo Buddha was one of the Ten Honored Warriors, second only to the Divine King. Thus, it was within reason that the strength of the Namo Sakyamuni Buddha and the Divine King were equal.    

    

"The world is originally tyrannical. The current three thousand Great Daos are all comprehended by the ancestors with their own strength. They fuse their own strength into the Heavenly Dao, thus giving the people of the future generations the opportunity to cultivate the Great Dao."    

    

The Infinite Buddha continued, "They are the pioneers on the path of cultivation. Only they can truly be called gods."    

    

Qin Xuan's heart was in turmoil. The reason why they were able to cultivate so many Great Daos was that they had fused with those Great Daos in the Heavenly Dao, while those pioneers had created their own Great Daos with their own comprehension, and walked on a path that no one had ever walked before. It was hard to imagine how much hardship they had gone through on this path, which was thousands or even tens of thousands of times harder than what they were going through.    

    

The strength of each pioneer was not weaker than that of a Divine King, and they possessed supreme strength and status. However, they did not linger in the mortal world. They voluntarily merged into the Heavenly Dao to benefit their descendants, and this was such a great magnanimity.    

    

Thinking up to here, Qin Xuan felt sincere admiration for the pioneers. They were true gods that gave up on themselves to benefit the world.    

    

"If those pioneers were still alive, the evil races outside the realm would not have the chance to act presumptuously." Qin Xuan said with some regret.    

    

"Everything has two sides. If it wasn't for their sacrifice, the Nine Profound Star Region wouldn't have its current prosperity. People of different generations carry different missions. Their mission is to pass down the Dao, and our mission is to protect." The Infinite Buddha said sincerely.    

    

Qin Xuan's expression froze, and then he nodded in agreement.    

    

Those pioneers voluntarily turned into Dao in order to make the future Nine-Rotation Star Field stronger. If the people of their era still needed to rely on pioneers to protect their homes, it would be letting down their expectations, and the era was regressing.    

    

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I have understood a lot." Qin Xuan said gratefully. Although these Buddhist scriptures did not have any divine techniques, the help they gave him was subtle. This was the difference between Buddhism and other Great Daos.    

    

"Continue comprehending." The Infinite Buddha looked at Qin Xuan with a kind gaze, then his figure disappeared.    

    

Qin Xuan continued to read the scriptures and entered a state of comprehension.    

    

...    

    

Pure Gold Yuan Xingtian, Seven Sword Mountain.    

    

On this day, the Seven Sword Mountain was as peaceful as usual. Many disciples were sparring with each other in the square, and it was a scene of prosperity.    

    

At a certain moment, an extremely terrifying aura exploded from a certain direction, and then a black divine light shot into the sky. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, making it seem extremely terrifying, as if the end of the world was coming.    

    

Countless figures looked at the terrifying scene in the sky in shock, and their hearts trembled violently. They were not unfamiliar with this scene; they had seen it twice before.    

    

This was... the descent of the heavenly tribulation!    

    

"It's in the direction of Pure Jun Peak. Peak Master Pure Jun is about to break through!" An extremely excited voice came from an unknown place. After this voice faded, countless gazes turned toward the direction of Pure Jun Peak, and their faces were filled with joy.    

    

They were not surprised that the Peak Master of the Pure Jun Peak had attracted the Heavenly Tribulation. They had been looking forward to the arrival of this day.    

    

Today, it had finally come.    

    

At this moment, many figures appeared in the sky above Pure Jun Peak. They were obviously Heavenly Venerate Xuan Yun, Seven-star Heavenly Venerate, and the other Peak Masters.    

    

They all looked down at the Pure Jun Peak, and bright smiles appeared on their faces. The Seven Sword Mountain would soon have three Heavenly Sovereigns guarding it, and it would be the strongest force in the Scarlet-Golden Yuan Tianxing.    

    

"Today, the Seven Sword Mountain will not disappoint the expectations of the Seven Sword Heavenly Sovereign." The Seven Star Heavenly Sovereign stroked his beard and sighed.    

    

"All of this is thanks to Qin Xuan." Heavenly Venerate Xuan Yun said. Everyone nodded their heads. Qin Xuan's arrival had completely changed the fate of the Seven Sword Mountain.    

    

"Speaking of which, it's been three years since he left. I wonder where he is now, and how is his cultivation base." The Seven Star Heavenly Venerate said slowly.    

    

"With his talent, he will definitely be able to advance at a tremendous pace. By the time we next meet, he will probably have already stepped into the Heavenly Venerate realm." Heavenly Venerate Xuan Yun laughed loudly.    

    

The eyes of the Seven Star Heavenly Venerate and the others lit up. They were all looking forward to Qin Xuan's future. It was their honor to be able to witness the path of growth of this unparalleled monster!
