Chapter 104 The True Meaning of Buddhism, Refining the True Body of Faith
Therefore, it is also said in the prehistoric world that although Emperor Qing created the Buddhist and immortal systems, he valued the immortal system more and was more partial to the immortal cultivators. Therefore, many cultivators also concluded that the immortal system was stronger than the Buddhist system.
The reason for this saying is that the immortal system has the three methods of beheading, but the Buddhist system does not.
Now Di Qing said that he would soon teach them the three methods of killing that were exclusive to the Buddhist system. It would be strange if they were not excited.
Everyone was excited, but they did not forget to perfect Buddhism. After all, Emperor Qing only canonized the past Buddha and the present Buddha, but the rest of the many venerables were not canonized. This needed Jie Yin and Zhunti to perfect it.
In response to this, Jie Yin and Zhunti did not hesitate at all, and hurried to perfect it, waiting for Di Qing's preaching.
.........
While Jie Yin and Zhunti were perfecting Buddhism, Di Qing brought Nuwa to the depths of Mount Sumeru.
Nuwa still said nothing, just followed Di Qing, watching his every word and action, gaining insights from them, and looking for the insights that suited her own.
At this moment, Di Qing was observing the growing Buddhist fortune and the formation of countless fortune lotus platforms, which enveloped Mount Sumeru and turned it into a sea of lotus platforms.
"It must be said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the number of powerful people in Buddhism today cannot compare to that of the Kunlun Immortal Clan, Buddhism has taken over the entire West and turned it into a Buddhist land. The luck brought by the gathering of such a vast Western world is naturally far greater than that of the Kunlun Immortal Clan."
"The luck of the land of prehistoric times really cannot be underestimated. The birth of such luck also means that I have one more trump card."
Di Qing felt the vastness of the Buddhist destiny, and also felt that the Buddhist destiny encompassed the entire Western world. It can be said that the Buddhist destiny condensed the destiny of the vast Western world.
With his luck, Di Qing pondered in his heart, and then attracted endless faith, and said to Nuwa: "Nuwa, I will be in seclusion for a while. During this time, you come to protect me."
"Don't worry, clan leader. Nuwa will definitely protect you at all times." Nuwa was extremely respectful, and as Di Qing went into seclusion, she was on high alert.
However, while Nuwa was protecting Di Qing, she was also watching Di Qing's cultivation.
What is Di Qing cultivating at this moment? Di Qing did not cultivate the divine system, nor did he comprehend the great way of destruction. Instead, he was gathering endless faith in the West.
The faith of the countless Western monks in Emperor Qing all flowed over along with Emperor Qing's guidance.
The vast faith stirred up endless waves, just like a tsunami, or like the heavens wandering, all intertwined and condensed into one.
Emperor Qing sensed this and also exclaimed: "The faith of all living beings in the prehistoric world is indeed vast and terrifying. It would be a waste if we don't make good use of such faith. Although I don't have a faith system now, it's not bad to practice some faith methods in advance. It's just right to pave the way for myself to practice a faith system in the future."
As he said this, Di Qing activated the method of faith, drawing the power of his old Hunyuan body from his mind, and evolving a pure Hunyuan divine fire to ignite endless faith.
In an instant, the vast sea of faith was ignited. The rolling flames burned endless faith, tempering and refining it.
Although the faith of the Western beings is extremely pure, the faith in the memory of later generations is poisonous, which eventually made Di Qing feel resentful. Therefore, the method of cultivating faith, or supernatural powers, needs to be tempered.
Burning like this for many years, every sea of faith has been burned into the shape of a drop of water.
Then many beliefs intertwined, and with Emperor Qing's control, just like refining a weapon, they intertwined the avenue of belief and turned into a true body of faith.
The initial condensation of Di Qing's true body of faith looks like a Buddha. This is Di Qing's understanding of Buddha. Three thousand strands of troubles, a thousand faces, and endless arms.
Although it looked a bit strange, as Emperor Qing transformed, it gradually turned into a true body that was 99% similar to Emperor Qing, circling the lotus platform of luck. This true body still had endless and vast faith. Emperor Qing also used these beliefs to carry his countless memories and evolve the faith of the heavens. With faith, he opened up a great world and formed the heavens and the worlds. It carried countless believers.
He also relied on faith to refine instruments, refining one great instrument of faith after another.
After such a long time, Di Qing felt that the period of billions of years was almost up, and he slowly gathered his mind and concentrated his faith.
Today, the power of Western faith, along with the evolution of Emperor Qing, has fallen into the Buddhist fortune lotus sea, forming a land of faith, carrying the temple of faith and the lotus platform of faith.
On the lotus platform of faith lies the true body of faith condensed by Emperor Qing.
Seeing such a true body of faith, and behind the true body, the heavens of faith condensed, and countless great instruments of faith, Nuwa also admired from her guarding, and also yearned from her admiration: "Chief Di Qing, this true body of faith you condensed. Its strength is enough to surpass most of the cultivators in the prehistoric world today. I have followed my master in hard practice for many years, but I find that I am not as good as a true body of faith. It is a bit..."
"Haha... Nuwa, don't be discouraged. This body of faith of mine condenses the telekinesis of all living beings in the West. You know, in the prehistoric world, the strong are indeed terrifying. But if all living beings in the prehistoric world really unite together and want to achieve a goal, the power they unleash is even more terrifying."
"The will of all living beings can change the world. Even if all living beings petition, even the way of heaven will collapse."
As Di Qing came into contact with faith and comprehended self-awareness, he finally came to this conclusion: the petition of all living beings is a very terrifying force.
If all living beings beg the prehistoric world to eradicate the Heavenly Dao, then the Heavenly Dao will be absolutely unstoppable.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to achieve this. After all, there are too many sentient beings in the world, and each of them has their own ideas. It is impossible to unite them.
Of course, Di Qing didn’t think much about this discovery and kept it in his heart.
He ignored Nuwa who was now in a state of surprise, and instead placed his true body of faith in the fate of Buddhism. This allowed his true body of faith to grow and develop with the fate of Buddhism. Secondly, it could be considered as leaving a trump card for Buddhism.
After all, this true body of faith has 90% of Emperor Qing's strength. Such strength is enough to deal with many troubles.
……
Soon, Di Qing arranged everything regarding the belief in his true body, and brought Nuwa to the outside of Mount Xumi.
At this time, 80% of the monks from the West had arrived. All of these monks were Buddhists. Even Emperor Qing was surprised by such a terrifying number.
Especially the 20% who didn't come, they basically practiced the Buddhist system. And for many reasons, they didn't join Buddhism.
But this time, Emperor Qing has made clear rules that only those who become Buddhists can listen and practice the method he created this time.
With such thoughts, Di Qing appeared in front of many Buddhist followers. They became excited and said, "We are here to pay our respects to the great Buddha Di Qing..."
"Everyone, get up." Di Qing's mind moved, and all the Buddhist followers felt an invisible force pulling them to stand up. They were impressed by the power of their leader, and saw Di Qing emitting endless Buddha light: "This Buddhist meeting is all for the purpose of perfecting the Buddhist system and explaining the various practices of the Buddhist system."
