Out of curiosity, Lu Chen and the other two came here with Xuan Ling, and they saw pagodas, Buddha statues, and Buddha sculptures. Everywhere they looked, they were all monks.
When they saw Xuan Ling, they all clasped their hands in greeting. Facing Lu Chen and the others, they also nodded with smiles.
Lu Chen was surprised to find that there were no traces of killing on these monks, which meant that they had never killed anyone.
This is extremely rare in the divine world.
However, as he entered the central area of the Buddhist Kingdom, Lu Chen saw a powerful monk named Kong Wu. They all carried Buddha light on their bodies, just like an Arhat.
This opened the eyes of Lu Chen and the others.
"The monks outside are literary monks and are responsible for handling all civil affairs. The monks here are warrior monks and are responsible for protecting the Buddhist kingdom." Xuan Ling explained at this time.
"I see."
Lu Chen and the other three suddenly realized what they were saying.
"Elder Xuanling."
At this moment, a group of monks suddenly appeared in front of them. They stepped forward and saluted Xuan Ling, and then looked at Lu Chen. Everyone had a smile on their face:
"Donor Lu Chen, how are you doing these days?"
"Master Xuantu, Master Duxuan, Master Duwu, Master Dutian...?" Lu Chen took a quick look and found that he knew every monk, including Qingsong, Jingyuan, Zhenye, Zhenyuan, and Zhenwu.
Among them, two figures suddenly stepped forward. They turned out to be two young men of twelve or thirteen years old. They were handsome and fair-skinned, just like the children beside Daozu. When they saw Lu Chen, they said happily: "Lu Chen, are you still here?"
It’s so good to be alive.”
"Are you...?" Lu Chen asked hesitantly.
"We are stone dragons and stone turtles!" said the two boys.
"Can you turn into a human body?" Lu Chen said in shock.
"Well, we got help from our master, who enlightened our stone bodies so that we can transform into human forms." Shilong and Shigui said with excitement.
"That's great." Lu Chen was also happy for them.
"This is all thanks to you. If you hadn't rescued us in Kunwu Mountain, we would have ended up in the Immortal Realm, returned to our master, and had humanoid bodies." The two Shilongs said gratefully.
"This is all the good fortune you deserve." Lu Chen said with a smile.
"By the way, we heard that several forces in the Eastern Palace are chasing you?" Shi Long asked.
"Yes, if Master Xuanling hadn't saved me this time, I probably wouldn't have been able to see you." Lu Chen said with a bitter smile. Thinking about it now, he still had lingering fears.
"Now you can rest assured, in this Buddhist country, no one can harm you." Shilong said.
"Yeah." Lu Chen nodded.
"Hey, Feng Chaoge, why are you here?" The two Shilongs suddenly saw Feng Chaoge and were very surprised. Their eyes glanced between Lu Chen and her, showing strange expressions.
"Shilong, Shigui, long time no see, how are you?" Feng Chaoge blushed when they looked at her, but pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Hehe, we are all fine." Shi Long and the two laughed.
"You are a little kid but a big kid." Feng Chaoge hummed.
"Lu Chen, who is this lady?" Both Shi Long and Shi Long were a little embarrassed, and turned to look at Li Jing. Seeing that she was also beautiful and generous, with a unique temperament, they couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, she is Li Jing, a disciple of Master Lingdong." Lu Chen explained.
"Is it her?" Shi Long and the other two were surprised when they heard this, and immediately winked at Lu Chen and said, 'Lu Chen, no matter where you are, your affair is pretty good.'
Lu Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this, but before he could speak, Li Jing said with a cold face: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have nothing to do with him."
"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter,? It doesn't matter." Seeing her change her face as soon as she said it, Shilong and the others nodded hurriedly and said, but looking at her appearance, they didn't believe that she had nothing to do with Lu Chen?
"Humph." Li Jing was very cold and did not look at Lu Chen, saying that she had nothing to do with him.
When Lu Chen saw it, he could only smile bitterly. It seemed that this woman was still angry with him for taking her body!
"Ahem, Donor Lu Chen, you can follow me to see the Buddha now." Xuan Ling saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and coughed slightly.
"Buddha? Okay." Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this, because he didn't know any Buddha, but suddenly thought of Sakyamuni, and couldn't help but wonder, could he really be the one?
"Junior Brother Xuantu, please take the two female benefactors, Li Jing and Feng Chaoge, down to rest. Don't neglect them." Xuan Ling nodded, and then said to Xuantu.
"Yes." Xuantu nodded lightly, and then said to the two daughters Li Jing, 'Two female donors, please follow the poor monk.'
"You guys go." Lu Chen saw that the two girls were hesitant, so he said, 'I'll be fine, you don't have to worry.'
"We're not worried about you." Feng Chaoge said firmly.
"Master Xuantu, please lead the way." Li Jing said directly to Xuantu without speaking to Lu Chen.
"Two female benefactors please." Seeing this, Xuantu led Li Jing and Feng Chaoge to another part of the Buddhist kingdom.
"Du Xuan, you guys go down too, I want to take Donor Lu Chen to see the Buddha." Seeing Xuan Tu leaving with the two daughters Li Jing, Xuan Ling said to Du Xuan and others.
"yes!"
Du Xuan and others nodded, performed Buddhist rituals and left.
"Donor Lu Chen, please come with this poor monk."
Seeing this, Xuan Ling took Lu Chen and continued walking deeper into the Buddhist kingdom.
Lu Chen didn't say much and just followed Xuan Ling.
The two of them moved very quickly, passing over the pagodas one after another and entering the depths of the Buddhist kingdom. In front of them, the Buddha's light was majestic, the Buddha's voice was loud, there were Buddhist monks preaching scriptures, martial monks practicing Kung Fu, and monks composing verses, and so on.
, being caught in Lu Chen's eyes, he felt a sense of peace in his heart, and the murderous and violent aura in his body was diminishing.
Here, he seemed to have been washed away by Buddha's power and returned to his true origin.
"arrive."
Just when Lu Chen was silent in this peaceful atmosphere, Xuan Ling's voice suddenly came to his ears.
When Lu Chen heard the words, he looked around and found that there was not a pagoda in the four directions, and there was not a single monk in sight. There was only a Buddhist stele filled with various Buddhist scriptures, showing the atmosphere of Buddhism.
But in front of it, in mid-air, there is a portal, which is golden in color and is pure Buddha light. It contains countless Buddha patterns, showing a solemn, compassionate and inclusive aura of all things.
"Donor Lu Chen, Buddha is waiting for you inside. You go in." Xuan Ling said calmly.
"Thank you, Master Xuanling." Lu Chen nodded and walked towards the door. His speed was very fast, and he was in front of the door in an instant.
"Donor Lu Chen, please come in."
The moment Lu Chen approached the door, the door suddenly opened on its own, and a peaceful voice came from inside.
The soft Buddha light followed the door and fell on Lu Chen, making his mind more peaceful and all thoughts of killing disappeared.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Lu Chen no longer hesitated and stepped in. A space full of peace, harmony and Buddha's light appeared in front of him.
And among the layers of Buddha light, there was a monk who looked very young, only in his early twenties. He had six shining scars on his head and looked at Lu Chen with a peaceful expression.
"Senior Sakyamuni?"
The moment he saw this monk, Lu Chen couldn't help but call out this name. Although the Sakyamuni he saw in Tenglong Continent looked old and very different from the young monk in front of him, Lu Chen could be sure.
He is Sakyamuni, only younger.
"Donor Lu Chen, you are finally here." The young monk turned out to be Sakyamuni. He nodded with a smile and said, "In just over two hundred years, Donor Lu Chen, you have cultivated to the realm of the God King, and you are only a few steps away from the realm of the God Emperor."
One step away, what is commendable is that your strength, the donor, is not as good as that of the God Emperor. There are only a handful of existences like you, the donor, even in ancient times.'
"Senior has received the award, but I really don't deserve it," Lu Chen said hurriedly.
At this moment, he was extremely shocked, because in his eyes, Sakyamuni seemed not to exist, and he could not feel the slightest breath.
He stood there, as if he was integrated with the space, and seemed to be everywhere. This feeling was something that Lu Chen had only felt when facing the demons Qi Xin and Gan Yu.
But Lu Chen felt that Sakyamuni was more terrifying than these two people, enough to be comparable to the Sword God, Donghuang, and Gujia.
Is he a god?
But it doesn't seem bad.
What's going on?
Sakyamuni suddenly became mysterious in Lu Chen's eyes.
"Donor Lu Chen, are you doubtful about the identity of the poor monk?" Sakyamuni suddenly asked.
"Senior, I just heard Master Xuanling call you Buddha. I want to know why?" Lu Chen nodded.
"Actually, the reason is very simple. The Buddhist country was created by a poor monk." Sakyamuni said calmly.
"What?" Lu Chen was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't hide the look of astonishment on his face, because this was the most shocking news he had ever heard.
Is Sakyamuni the founder of the Buddhist Kingdom?
How is this possible?
Lu Chen didn't believe it at first, because the Buddhist Kingdom is one of the oldest forces in the divine world and has existed since ancient times. If the Buddhist Kingdom was founded by Sakyamuni, wouldn't he be a figure from the ancient times?
This kind of figure is older than the Eastern Emperor, the Sword God, and the Sword God. Perhaps, only the most mysterious Taoist Hongmeng among the four gods in the God Realm can rival him, right?
Therefore, Lu Chen was extremely shocked. He looked at Sakyamuni, his mind was spinning, and he suddenly thought of the Nine-Eyed Elephant Beast. His body shook violently and said: "Senior, are you like the Nine-Eyed Elephant Beast? In order to avoid the way of heaven, you
Arrived in Tenglong Continent?”
"Donor Lu Chen, your guess is good, but the poor monk arrived at Tenglong Continent earlier than the nine-eyed beast. That was before the gods were annihilated by humans and demons." Sakyamuni nodded.
"What?" Lu Chen was surprised again when he heard this. He didn't expect that Sakyamuni was really from the ancient times as he expected. This is a real antique!
"Senior, have you recovered your cultivation now?" Lu Chen said calmly.
"There is still one step left." Sakyamuni shook his head and explained to Lu Chen, "When the poor monk entered the Tenglong Continent, he was already injured. He practiced quietly for hundreds of millions of years before he recovered slightly. Later, he returned to the divine realm.
He has just returned to the God Realm, but the injuries are still there, so even after more than two hundred years, he has not recovered yet.'
"Senior, I have a question that I want to ask, but I don't know whether I should ask it?" Lu Chen said silently.
"You know about the way of heaven, right?" Sakyamuni said calmly.
"As expected, the junior can't hide it from the senior." Lu Chen said with a smile.
"The poor monk knows some things about the way of heaven, but I can't tell you yet, because now, the more you know, not only will there be no benefit, but more harm." Sakyamuni said slowly.
"Junior understands." Lu Chen nodded. Donghuang and others were very jealous of the way of heaven. Sakyamuni was even injured by the way of heaven. The horror of the way of heaven is unimaginable. With Lu Chen's current strength, to understand
