"The form is ready, but the spirit is not complete."
"The next step is to create gods. Once the eight pagodas give birth to their own gods, they will be transformed into a top-notch artifact."
Looking at the eight-part pagoda that already had a physical form, Jiang Chen used his magical power again, pulling the wishes of all living beings surrounding Lingshan towards the eight-part pagoda.
This time, Jiang Chen wanted to refine a quasi-holy level supreme artifact, so it would take a long time and could not be refined by conventional means.
He planned to use the boundless power of the will of all sentient beings on Lingshan to wash away the eight pagodas day and night, so as to force out the origins of the corpses of the Buddhas inside, and integrate them into the eight pagodas bit by bit, becoming his artifact for promotion to the quasi-holy level.
Materials.
It can be seen that under the influence of the wishes of all living beings, the corpses of the Buddhas in Lingshan began to dim, and little bits of light flew out of their bodies and merged with the eight pagodas.
After losing their origins, the bodies of the Buddhas in Lingshan began to petrify. When all their origins were completely lost, they would turn into stone statues and lose all their magic.
It is also at this time that the Eight-Bud Pagoda will complete all its transformations and become a quasi-saint level artifact comparable to that of a quasi-saint.
"rise!"
Jiang Chen stretched out his index finger and pointed at the Eight-Bud Pagoda. Immediately, a stream of sentient beings' wishes rushed in, surging and condensing inside the Eight-Bud Pagoda, and gradually turned into a huge Buddhist temple.
At the moment when the Buddhist temple was formed, immeasurable Buddha light surged and turned into inscriptions, imprinted on the interior of the Buddhist temple.
This Buddhist hall is the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, which is used to pay homage to the dead Buddhas in Lingshan.
"Done!"
After doing all this, Jiang Chen's face showed a look of joy. The eight pagodas were completed, and everything was on track. The next step was to wait for him to slowly complete the final task under the influence of the will of all living beings.
Metamorphosis.
Although Lingshan was captured by Jiang Chen, he knew in his heart that his position was not stable. If he was not careful, Lingshan might change its owner and be taken back by the Lesser and Mahayana demons again.
After all, although the Buddhas in Lingshan have fallen, they are not really dead. Sooner or later, they will come back and have a fight with Jiang Chen.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace. Since Jiang Chen had anticipated this situation, he must have taken precautions in advance.
The Eight-Bud Pagoda was Jiang Chen's first-hand preparation. An artifact comparable to that of a quasi-sage master, it was enough to ward off a lot of trouble for him.
Although there are nine quasi-sages in Buddhism, it is impossible for them to return at the same time. It can even be said that some may never come back.
Kong Xuan, for example, was taken back to the Phoenix Clan, and he is afraid that he will never return to Buddhism in the future. Maitreya Buddha was even imprisoned by Taoism, and his chances of escaping are slim.
As for the Randen Ancient Buddha, he was first severely injured by Xuanmen masters, and then sneak attacked by Dou Mu Yuanzun. It is estimated that it will be quite difficult for him to return.
There is also the Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata, Yuantu Abi's twin swords, how can it be so uncomfortable? Being killed by these two innate swords, unless someone helps, he will never be able to reappear in the world within a million years.
Nine quasi-sages, go directly to five, Jiang Chen's pressure will be greatly reduced.
"If my prediction is correct, in as little as a hundred years or as much as three hundred years, the first wave of Buddhist counterattacks will come. If I can block it, then I will be able to secure my position as the supreme leader of Buddhism."
"At this point, I will truly replace Tathagata Buddha and become the new supreme Buddha."
Jiang Chen knew very well that he, the Supreme Buddha of Buddhism, was only temporary. When the rightful master returned to his throne, he would abdicate in favor of others, just like the Buddha Wutian in later generations.
However, Jiang Chen is still stronger than him.
Buddha Wutian only has thirty-three years of luck, but Jiang Chen has at least one hundred years, and as many as three hundred years.
This time is actually easy to calculate, because in less than four hundred years, the Journey to the West will begin.
Tathagata Buddha and others had been planning for so long and paid an unknown price before selecting the candidates for the journey to the West and making the plan for the journey to the West take shape.
But before the Westward Journey plan was implemented, they were ousted by Jiang Chen. Didn't all their previous efforts serve as wedding dresses for Jiang Chen?
How can this be tolerated?
Seeing that the journey to the west was about to begin and great benefits were about to come, Tathagata Buddha and others could only watch and let Jiang Chen pick the fruits.
They did everything, but Jiang Chen got the benefits. How is this possible? Do you really think that Tathagata Buddha and others are doing charity and are all great benefactors?
The Journey to the West is about to begin, and Tathagata Buddha and others will never sit back and watch Jiang Chen steal the fruits of their labor.
Therefore, before the journey to the west is about to begin, all the Buddhist masters who have previously participated in formulating the plan for the journey to the west will try their best to return early and go to Lingshan to oust Jiang Chen and regain control of Lingshan.
The Journey to the West was planned by them, and it must be promoted by them. The benefits must be theirs, and outsiders must not be allowed to steal the fruits of their labor.
Therefore, before traveling to the west, there must be a battle between Jiang Chen and Tathagata Buddha and others.
If Jiang Chen wins this battle, he will be in charge of the journey to the west, Buddhism will flourish in his hands, and his position in Buddhism will be stabilized, becoming the true master of Buddhism, with an unshakable position.
And Tathagata Buddha will completely become a thing of the past, gradually fading out of the upper echelons of Buddhism.
But if Jiang Chen loses, he will step down sadly. From now on, whatever happens to Buddhism will have nothing to do with him. He, the great Buddha who combines the three Buddhas into one, will also disappear from the history of Buddhism.
"A battle of fate!"
Thinking of the battle that was destined to happen hundreds of years later, Jiang Chen looked very cautious.
The significance of this battle is extremely important. It is related to Jiang Chen's entire layout in Buddhism. If he wins, he will gain everything in Buddhism. If he loses, he will lose everything in Buddhism.
Therefore, Jiang Chen cannot afford to lose this battle.
But similarly, Tathagata Buddha and others cannot afford to lose in this battle. Both sides will definitely go all out and risk everything to win this battle.
“It’s a lot of pressure!”
Thinking of the strength of Tathagata Buddha and others, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a shadow cast over his heart.
His current situation is very similar to that of Buddha Wutian in later generations. He has everything when he wins, and loses everything when he loses.
However, the two are still different. Buddha Wutian is a loner. It can be said that he is the enemy of the whole world. He can't find an ally in the three realms.
But behind Jiang Chen, there is the entire Xuanmen as a backing. If that doesn't work, Jiang Chen will bring the Xuanmen in. Even if the opponent has a hundred Tathagata Buddhas, they will not be his opponent.
Of course, Jiang Chen does not need to be so pessimistic. He may not lose this battle. Tathagata Buddha is very strong, but he himself is not weak either.
As long as the eight pagodas complete their transformation, they will immediately have power comparable to that of a quasi-sage. There is also the Buddha Prison. As long as the Liuli Venerable is refined into it, Jiang Chen can refine the Buddha Prison into a Taoist-level artifact.
In this way, this is another Taoist level master.
Even so, if you want to defeat Tathagata Buddha and others, it is certainly not enough. Therefore, at this time, Jiang Chen's second-hand preparation will come in handy.
The gods are bred with the power of the wishes of living beings accumulated over many years in Buddhism, and let them replace the original Buddhas and become new Buddhas.
As long as this plan succeeds, Jiang Chen will immediately have a large number of helpers. And these helpers, like Tathagata Buddha and others, will be natural enemies, the kind that will never stop fighting.
These gods were born from the vows of the Buddhas. From the beginning of their birth, they have formed a causal relationship with the Buddhas. If the Buddhas do not die, the foundation of their existence will be shaken by the Buddhas.
Maybe on that day, they suddenly disappeared and were inspired by the Buddhas to become their incarnations.
Therefore, if the gods do not want to disappear inexplicably, they must find a way to eliminate the Buddhas first.
Only when the Buddhas are gone will they truly have the meaning of existence, rather than being substitutes for some people.
"Tathagata Buddha has ruled Buddhism for many years, and his name has countless wishes. If I use the method of Li Dai Tao Jiang, I can transform these wishes into gods and transform them into Tathagata Buddha."
"Then his strength, even if it is not as good as the real Tathagata Buddha, is not weaker than that of ordinary Taoists."
Jiang Chen's heart moved when he sensed the power of the Tathagata Buddha's wish for all living beings.
The God of Cangshan is strong enough. He is the innate Taoist Lord when he is born. But if the power of all sentient beings' wishes possessed by the Tathagata Buddha were transformed, his strength would definitely be stronger than that of the God of Cangshan, and it would be comparable to the power of the perfect Taoist Lord.
If he is given another period of time to grow, it won't be a problem to be comparable to a true quasi-sage.
Therefore, if the Tathagata Buddha is born, he will definitely be a great help to Jiang Chen, second only to the Eight Buddhas.
In fact, Jiang Chen had a bolder idea in his mind, but he didn't dare to put it into action.
He fears!
