Chapter 679 Secret Place
"Uncle Shi is wrong."
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Yundan shook his head and said, "There are too many fools in the world. If they don't believe in Buddhism, they will believe in other things."
"Rather than letting them believe in some evil cult, being ripped dry and eaten alive by a bunch of evil spirits...it's better for them to honestly worship the great Zen masters in the three major Buddhist lands. At least Buddhism guides people to be good. Although the followers of the three major Buddhist lands may not achieve much, they at least live a stable life and have a peaceful and smooth life."
"Although ancient Buddhist monks and high-ranking monks fought endlessly and often resulted in deaths, their followers never committed any crime."
Jing Yu sneered, "Do you really have to believe in something? The common people of Penglai Immortal Continent don't worship Buddha or follow Taoism... but those with spiritual roots can still embark on the path of cultivation, and their lives are no worse than those of the believers of Futu Immortal Continent."
Yuwen Yundan whispered, "Are there really many unbelievers in this world? Not necessarily... The common people of secular dynasties worship power, speculators worship money, and even monks seeking immortality and freedom worship the Great Dao... What's the difference between these things and Buddhism?"
Jing Yu shook his head. "The Great Dao can bring supreme power and a long lifespan to cultivators. If they follow its path diligently in the early stages, they may be able to repay the Great Dao in the later stages. It's a mutually beneficial relationship... What can Buddhist cultivators bring to their followers? Those small favors aren't even a fraction of the value of the incense and vows offered by the believers."
Yuwen Yundan sighed, "Uncle is a rare genius who appears only once in a thousand years. Even among a group of geniuses, he stands out. He possesses the courage and determination to make use of everything in the world... But there aren't many such people in this world. Too many cultivators claim to be seeking the Dao, but in reality they are slaves to the Dao."
"I'm not here to debate with you about the pros and cons of faith. I just want you to know that there are too many pitiful people in this world who can't survive without their faith. For them, believing in Buddhism is a relatively less bad choice."
"This is called an ecological niche. Whether Buddhism exists or not, the ecological niche of faith will not disappear."
After Yuwen Yundan finished speaking, he subconsciously protected his bald forehead and said cautiously, "This is what Master said... It's not my opinion, but I think it makes a lot of sense."
"Master has been very successful these past few years. With his exquisite Buddhist theories, he has won the appreciation of a Buddha master in the Liuli Treasure Temple. It is said that the Buddha master of Liuli Treasure Temple is considering making an exception and accepting Master into the Liuli Main Hall. If all goes well, Master will probably become the main Zen master of the three major Buddhist lands in the near future."
“By then, Master may not have the opportunity to advance to the level of a God-Transforming Buddha.”
Jing Yu touched his chin, thoughtfully saying, "It seems that the environment does affect a person..."
"It's a shame it's useless to say all this..." Yuwen Yundan said dejectedly, "Although my uncle has a wonderful way to resist the onslaught of the Xuanhuang Qi, it's easy to enter Qiu Xuandong's belly, but it's difficult to leave. I may not have the chance to see Master again in this lifetime."
"Why are you in such a hurry? I've been waiting for a hundred years. How long have you been here? You'll have a chance to escape."
Jing Yu said calmly, "Calculating the time, it will be soon."
----
Half a year later, Beihai
In the vast space, a short and fat monk wearing a light golden robe and holding a feather fan was fleeing with his head down. Behind him followed a monk in a grey robe, but this monk's face was blurred, and he was obviously hiding his whereabouts.
"Fulu, where exactly is Fellow Daoist Lu practicing? We are already close to the edge of the North Sea. If we go any further, we will be out of the boundary." The gray-robed monk said in a muffled voice.
"Don't worry, Xuanjing. As the undisputed number one Nascent Soul cultivator in the Immortal Continent, Big Sister is naturally the focus of all the Divine Transformation cultivators in the world. The place where she is hiding must be extremely secret, and every step is dangerous."
Ye Xingyun said with a smile: "That secret place is full of dangers, you'd better be careful."
"I only have two clones left in this world, and I can't afford to lose them. My [Chanxuan Body] still needs to manipulate many causal lines, plant traps for the Heavenly Court, and gather intelligence. I can't act rashly. If this [Kudu Body] is destroyed here, I'll be completely blinded."
"Why do you think I followed you here?" Ye Xingyun curled his lips and said, "As long as I'm here, I guarantee that your clone will be safe."
The two of them quickly escaped from the void and landed on an endless sea. Ye Xingyun put his fingers together, blew a breath forward, and instantly a gust of strong wind rolled out of his mouth.
Suddenly, there was nothing in front of him, and flickering colorful patterns appeared, and a door appeared out of thin air.
"This is?"
"This is the [Secret Realm of Time and Space Disorder]..." Ye Xingyun chuckled, "The name was given by the big sister. It really has no aesthetic appeal, but it does fit the occasion."
The two of them passed through the portal, and before they could stand firm, they saw several purple lightning bolts crashing down on their heads.
Jing Yu felt the astonishing power contained in these purple lightning bolts, and his heart trembled with fear. "This thunder... if my true body were here, I could still withstand it a little, but if this [Bitter Crossing Body] of mine... even a slight brush against it would probably leave not even a ash left."
But Ye Xingyun seemed unaware and walked forward leisurely. Strangely enough, these thunders were extremely dense, but they just couldn't hit Ye Xingyun, and naturally they also spared Jing Yu who was following closely behind Ye Xingyun.
"Just this natural lightning killing array in the outermost layer of the secret realm is enough to stop 99% of the Yuanying Zhenjun, not to mention the 32 killing arrays that follow, each one more powerful than the last. Without my great luck, how could I force my way through? Besides Big Sister, I'm afraid only a Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch could do it."
Ye Xingyun explained casually and led Jing Yu through the numerous killing arrays. It was indeed more dangerous than the last, but fortunately they all got through safely and arrived at a secret palace.
"here……"
Jing Yu was surprised and asked, "Why do I feel like space here is upside down and time is confused... It's like time flows at different speeds in many places?"
"This is the origin of the name [Secret Realm of Time and Space Distortion]."
Ye Xingyun was clearly in front of Jing Yu, but his voice seemed to sound behind him: "But the different flow of time here is just an illusion. At least in the lower realm, there is no place that can change the flow of time... It's just that the rules here are distorted, giving you the illusion of time confusion..."
"Even your [Immortality] isn't immune? It seems this isn't just an illusion."
Ye Xingyun said, "You can only comprehend the Law of Time by constantly experiencing the different [fractures] of the flow of time. If you plan to find a place where the flow of time is faster in an attempt to accelerate your cultivation, you're making a wrong decision."
"Not only will it fail to speed up your practice, but it will disrupt your practice rhythm because of the sense of disconnection in time."
