In the New Territories, the light of Buddha fills the air.
The layer upon layer of ripples turned into a surge of light, and the aura as vast as the abyss was like the overlapping of three thousand worlds. There seemed to be no tense conflict, but the contest was extremely thrilling.
There is a clear distinction between strength and weakness. In just a moment, Tripitaka's light suppressed it.
Wukong's brilliance began to slowly shrink.
Seeing that the other party's divine power was about to cover the sacred mountain, Bajie gritted his teeth, but did not dare to make a sound, and bumped into Sha Seng with his body.
Sha Monk was tense all over and ignored it, but he also knew what this second senior brother meant.
The contrast between strengths and weaknesses is so obvious, who would really choose them?
However, at this moment, Sanzang's brilliance actually stopped and retreated again, without forcibly suppressing it.
Bajie was overjoyed and looked at Wukong, only to see that Brother Monkey did not look relaxed at all, but instead became even more solemn.
Because this fairness is deliberately shown by the other party.
In the tacit understanding between Sanzang and Wukong, the situation should not be unbalanced, Guanyin will not be exposed, at least on the surface it must appear evenly matched, so that the other party can choose.
But Li Yan sensed something was wrong and went directly into the sealed place. There was no need to act outside, and Sanzang stopped covering up and exposed everything.
Now the gap between the two sides is clear at a glance. This person still keeps his past promises and is not aggressive.
This self-confidence is the greatest pressure.
However, Li Yan didn't pay much attention to this.
He was thinking about another question.
Since Tripitaka has already eroded Guanyin and can break the seal of the four gods in the New Realm, why hasn't he done it yet?
If he were a conspirator, he might have been deliberate, endured and restrained, made plans before taking action, and waited until everything was ready before launching a sudden attack, but this was obviously not the case with Tripitaka.
The spirituality embodied in this scripture has its own pursuit, which is to demolish the inactive gods and Buddhas, change the fallen world, and reshape the rules of heaven and earth.
It is impossible to wait silently with such a concept, especially when one's own strength has become so strong.
unless……
Still have concerns!
Li Yan looked at Sanzang.
The Buddha transformed by Tripitaka immediately looked back.
If you look carefully, compared with the majestic Buddhas in the temple, this Buddha statue is not as kind and broad. Like the monk it transformed into, it is a bit thin and lacks the boundless majesty that overturned the heaven and earth just now.
But beneath the peaceful Buddha's face, one could see in one's mind a certain amount of expectation and nervousness.
Are you so concerned about his attitude?
Those who achieve great things should not be like this!
So……
The worry that the other party has been waiting for so far may be on him!
As soon as Li Yan thought about this, he stopped observing the strengths and weaknesses of Tripitaka and Wukong and began to reflect on himself.
In the blink of an eye, he used the golden elixir avenue and the Eight Consciousnesses of Buddhism to enter the perspective of observing the origin of heaven and earth.
All superficial materials quickly faded away, and even spiritual power and vitality were deconstructed, leaving only threads that were constantly vibrating, composing a different kind of music in the long river of time.
Looking down from the New Territories to the Three Realms of the Old World, what he saw was particularly clear. Li Yan saw that all living beings were like insignificant drops of water, which could only drift with the turbulent river. Only powerful beings could maintain relative independence in the long river of time.
What he thought at that time was the dignity of the Jade Emperor, the transcendence of the Taoist ancestors, and the bliss of the Buddha.
Now that these three have been captured by the scriptures, it would be ridiculous to talk about transcendent bliss and reaching the other shore, but it is not necessarily true to say that the Tripitaka Sutra will replace them...
At least according to Li Yan's observations, there is no such powerful existence that emits independent fluctuations in the current sea of origin.
I thought I was hiding, but I didn't know that I was really gone.
But Tripitaka shouldn't be like this. It's so powerful, why isn't it revealed?
Li Yan started to get to the core.
"Buddhism uses its great aspirations to increase its own weight and help it stand in the sea of origin and become an independent existence."
"The goal of great aspirations is one's own foundation. Ksitigarbha's hell will never be empty and he will never become a Buddha. This allows him to have an incomparably close connection with the souls of the dead in the underworld, so he can legitimately become the Lord of the Netherworld."
"And if the Tripitaka Sutra can truly fulfill its ambition to reshape the order of the three realms, then the origin of this world will never exist beyond it."
"This is from the outside to the inside, but it seems unnecessary."
"The Jade Emperor, Taoist Patriarch, and Tathagata are all gone. He is the undisputed boss of the three realms. Why should he act so slowly?"
"Unless there is an existence in the current origin of heaven and earth that it is unwilling to face and unwilling to stimulate!"
"I!"
Analyzing step by step, at this point, Li Yan turned into a wonderful string of cause and effect and participated in the torrent of the three realms.
Before, he did not go deep into it, but sought a detached posture.
As an outsider, this is just a journey of experience, and there is no need to become one with a changing world.
What's more, his practice has always been one step at a time, and he never aims too high. With his current state, observation is enough, but it is not enough to stand on the top of the wave.
But at this moment, Li Yan abandoned those and went straight into it.
Then……
Everything falls into place!
It can be said to be accomplished overnight!
Li Yan could feel that his own efforts accounted for a small part of the factor. More importantly, the vitality of the world after the mutation couldn't wait to pull him in, cheering for the move of going deep into the sea of origin.
"No wonder that not long after I came to this world, my medical skills began to have an effect on the earth and mountain gods. I was able to wake them up from their slumber and drive away the filth..."
"No wonder the fusion of the Book of Heaven and the power of the Secret Agent Listening has skyrocketed. It is able to cross the two realms of heaven and man, go straight to the Peach Garden, and communicate face to face with the Queen Mother..."
"If that Queen Mother was the real Queen Mother, and not an empty shell similar to artificial intelligence, I'm afraid she would have noticed this abnormality long ago!"
"The world and environment after the mutation are tailor-made for me!"
"If I hadn't been on guard and resisted, I would have discovered a long time ago that the power that should belong to the Book of Heaven has escaped into the world, forming this unique backdoor!"
"This is the true awakening of the 'ancestor'!"
The answer finally appears.
The world after the change is indeed not suitable for gods and Buddhas, nor for practitioners, but it is extremely suitable for him.
The reason is very simple. Whether it is intentional or not, the changes in the world have his influence, and it is a crucial influence.
And Sanzang obviously realized this.
After the change in the world, the other party ranked first in terms of origin, while its actual promoter ranked second.
In view of this, I chose to lie dormant silently and did not act rashly.
This is necessary caution. At this juncture when the ancestors of the three religions are all silent, the only one who can still stop the Tripitaka Sutra is the "ancestor" who awakens at some unknown time!
After figuring this out, Li Yan completely understood why Sanzang had such an attitude towards him.
In terms of private feelings, Sanzang may indeed have a sense of gratitude and sharing.
But for that grand pursuit, this is by no means a reason to stop moving forward.
But if you add the worry of failure, it is of course willing to endure it for the time being, and even maintain a tacit understanding with Wukong, waiting for the reason for Li Yan's decision.
Even if Li Yan didn't choose it in the end, it would still be better than having a direct conflict and exposing his weaknesses.
But it was precisely this attitude that revealed the truth, which was finally discovered by Li Yan.
"Three volumes of the Book of Heaven, I merged the two volumes of Heaven and Earth."
"The gift of the scroll of the earth, the secret agent listens carefully, you can go up to the poor blue and down to the underworld, listen to all the secrets of the mountains, rivers, the country, the cave, the heaven and the blessed land."
"The talent of the Heavenly Scroll is the True Martial Saint Body, which absorbs the vitality of the outside world and uses it for one's own use."
"If the vitality of the outside world is already full of my own power, how powerful will it be if I open the holy body again?"
Li Yan has expectations.
What's more, there is also a volume of people.
He had a feeling that the final integration was close at hand. If he had taken this step earlier, he would have been able to remember everything he had experienced when he first came to this world, and he would have realized his own uniqueness.
No matter what, the third talent will return. In this unique environment, it has unparalleled power and is no longer limited to a limited number of uses.
but……
It is still unrealistic to claim victory, and there may only be one chance for a confrontation!
"I now occupy the primary position in the Sea of Origin. Sanzang dare not act rashly. Once I use the Zhenwu Holy Body to extract all the energy of heaven and earth and add it to my body, I may instantly reach an unprecedentedly powerful state, but it will also
It gave Sanzang the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, enter the sea of origin, and take over the authority of the three realms."
"At that time, as long as it blocks my attack, it will have no flaws and become invincible."
"It has already eliminated the masters of the three religions. Although it does not dare to advance rashly, it is worried that it will be blocked by me at the last moment and fall short of its success. But as for me, how can I dare to declare war easily?"
To the outside world, Li Yan's thinking was only for a moment, but he had already considered everything. After calming down, he asked a question that no one present expected: "Where is Yan Shifan?"
Wukong had no idea who this person was and looked at each other in confusion. Sanzang was slightly startled. The Buddha's palm flipped and a figure emerged: "This person?"
Li Yan nodded: "It's him."
Yan Shifan was chosen to come to the New Territory purely because he wanted to make a difference, and he didn't hold much hope. However, this extremely smart and cunning devil did have actions that fit his style.
After arriving in the New Territory, Yan Shifan had no sense of responsibility for saving the world. He only wanted to strengthen himself, so he left the team and explored the ruins of Heaven. After that, he overestimated his own abilities and wanted to steal the power of the seal, and then met Sanzang.
In the face of absolute strength, Yan Shifan was captured instantly and had no power to resist.
He is still alive because Tripitaka's purpose is not to kill people, but to transform all living beings into what he wants.
This kind of villain, in the hands of Li Yan, will die most of the time, and a small part of the time will be used to complete the mission. After that, evil will be punished and sent to the reincarnation of the underworld, but if it falls in the hands of Sanzang, it will not die directly.
But it is possible that life would be worse than death.
If he still has a will of his own...
At this time, Yan Shifan's expression was very confused, but it was not ordinary stupidity, and it was more like a state of being imprisoned in thinking.
Li Yan looked at this evil man who was supposed to be doing evil in the secular world, but accidentally participated in the dispute between gods and Buddhas, and became the evil man he is now: "Be at ease with the law, and use the Tao to transform all living beings. If you can put this heinous evil into the world,
, but extremely smart demons can be transformed into good people, so who can't be transformed? What do you think?"
Tripitaka, however, was somewhat disapproving: "This is done by ordinary monks to persuade evil people to put down their butcher knives and convert to Buddhism in order to promote Buddhism. It is quite ostentatious and has no universal meaning."
Li Yan smiled and said: "In the past, Tathagata Buddha and the Great Sage Qitian had a gambling fight. What do you think of it?"
Wukong had no mood swings on the opposite side, but Sanzang was never vague when scolding Tathagata: "It's an act of ignorance and deception!"
Li Yan said: "Why don't you and I also have a gambling fight?"
Sanzang was a little surprised: "Does this person determine whether he is good or evil?"
Li Yan said: "Let this person be good or evil. If you win, even though I don't agree with your idea of transforming sentient beings, I will not stop you. If I win, the future of this world will be left to this world."
Let all sentient beings worry about it!”
Sanzang was silent for a while, and after a while he uttered two words: "Seriously?"
Li Yan said: "You are not the Tathagata, so you take it seriously."
Sanzang clasped his hands together: "Good!"
Li Yan said: "Then let's go back to the three realms of the old world!"
With the decision made, Sanzang looked at the Great Sumeru Mountain, raised his palm, and pressed it slowly.
The radiance that had receded before instantly covered it, forming a huge blockade in the outside world.
Not only was this place sealed, but the spirits who came with Li Yan were also moved away by Sanzang with a wave of his hand, spread around, and ordered the spirits to surround Lingshan.
"Walk!"
After doing all this, the Buddha's light and shadow dissipated and left together with Li Yan.
"Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey!"
Seeing the two figures disappear, Bajie, who didn't dare to breathe, woke up as if from a dream and called out: "What's going on?"
Wukong remained silent, with some regrets in his heart. He hoped for a vigorous fight. Even if he lost in the end, he would have no regrets. Now he could only wait for the two to decide the winner.
This time, Xuanzang comforted him: "Wukong, we can't just wait here. We still need to work hard to break the seal and help the benefactor!"
Xiao Bailong also said: "Elder brother, your golden cudgel is still in the hands of the Heavenly Master!"
Wukong braced himself, looked at the soaring aura of the treasures of the spirits outside, and said with a smile: "What master and junior brother said is absolutely true. Now that it has left, just these shrimp soldiers and crab generals are worthy of stopping me!"
at the same time.
The Three Realms of the Old World.
Above the Lingxiao Palace, two figures emerged.
Sanzang's eyes fell on Li Yan's wrist, and he said calmly: "Sun Wukong hides evil and promotes good. It is his true nature. Unfortunately, on the way to the west, if he kills all the evildoers, he will truly defeat the Buddha.
Got it!"
Li Yan understood: "Leiyin gathered demons in the Great Vision Realm and asked them to put on cassocks and sit on the lotus platform. Is he planning to catch them all?"
Tripitaka said: "They are not worth mentioning!"
Li Yan smiled: "But the future of the Three Realms depends on where this devil goes... Please!"
Sanzang was very solemn about this gambling battle: "Please!"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Shifan's confinement was lifted and he flew downwards.
"This is……"
The wind blew, and Xiaoge Lao, who had just returned to his senses, opened his eyes and was shocked to find that there seemed to be two Tathagata Buddhas appearing at the same time in the sky, sitting on the clouds, and the Buddha's palms fell from the sky and covered him.
