Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2445: 217: Future Buddha Lord_3

When this Arhat appeared, Buddha Tianyin and True Man Gai turned puzzled looks toward Wang Ba.
Wang Ba held nothing back:
“These monks have all been affected by the transformation of Buddhism’s four great rules, leading to a massive shift in their temperaments. If those rules get reversed, their minds might recover, enabling them to break free. Once we pull that off, we’ll have company in the fight. By keeping to capture these monks, we can ultimately eradicate the Supreme True Buddha entirely.”
Earlier, he’d dispatched a Cultivator from the Sea of Chaos Realm, tainted by the Six Paths Water, to Bai Lechan, though it looked like they lacked a superior way to dispel the curse. As the genuine Buddhist sect in the Third Realm Sea, the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm stands as the probable only force able to neutralize the Six Paths Water.
At these words, True Man Gai and Buddha Tianyin revealed clear interest.
Buddha Tianyin’s eyes settled on the Arhat, his features tightening faintly as he gradually shook his head and stated:
“I do not cultivate Mahayana Buddhism, nor have I practiced earth, fire, water, and wind.”
Wang Ba felt mildly startled, a touch bewildered:
“Why?”
Buddha Tianyin clarified:
“The four great elements—earth, fire, water, and wind—aren’t common in this Realm Sea. Cultivating them demands extraordinary effort absent a unique setting. As a result, few monks in the realm follow these rules, with most resembling Cultivators by weaving in distinct Buddhist notions that yield subtle variances. Still, practitioners of the four rules exist in the realm; I’ll deliver this Arhat to one for in-depth analysis.”
Right then, True Man Gai couldn’t resist creasing his brows and commented:
“Tianyin, if that Tianshang Buddha isn’t planning to ascend, with the abilities of Xiahou Demon and myself, even with the Master of Quiet Cave, we fear we may not be opponents for that Tianshang Buddha, and you…”
He paused, eyed Buddha Tianyin, and shook his head against his will.
Buddha Tianyin grasped True Man Gai’s worry but nevertheless chuckled:
“Though I have suffered deep injuries, I do plan to reincarnate and re-cultivate. However, that requires time. I believe by the time we join forces to face the enemy, I should still be able to endure.”
These words stirred something deep in Wang Ba’s heart.
Originally, after True Man Gai revealed that Buddha Tianyin had severely impaired his foundation from clashing with Tianshang Buddha and could perish at any moment, Wang Ba shelved the notion of urging him to shatter the Immortal Pass jointly. For that reason, he hadn’t raised it until this point.
Yet now, from Buddha Tianyin’s remarks, he wasn’t a flame flickering on the verge of extinction and could persist for a substantial while. Under these circumstances, possibilities emerged.
True Man Gai nodded subtly to this, looking somewhat eased, before shifting his gaze to Yan Poluo, who had stayed silent and observant.
He grinned and inquired:
“After you re-cultivate, will Yan Poluo be the successor? His age and Cultivation Realm are very close to Liaochan’s; this generation of the Glazed Buddha Realm will have to rely on him.”
But Buddha Tianyin lightly shook his head:
“It’s not him; the future Buddha Lord is someone else.”
Yan Poluo maintained a serene visage, as though he’d long known, and merely directed a mild smile at True Man Gai, utterly unmoved.
True Man Gai knitted his brows and probed, confused:
“In your Eastern Luli Buddha Realm, who else could attain Mahayana soon?”
Buddha Tianyin smiled with composure:
“There’s naturally no one else; there’s Zhetu Luo, whose Cultivation Realm is close, but needs more time, so Yan Poluo is currently the highest in the realm. However, it doesn’t matter; I will pass on my legacy to the future Buddha Lord…”
He paused in thought, glanced toward True Man Gai and Wang Ba, then abruptly recalled something and beamed:
“Layman Taiyi is the personal disciple of the Canlong Realm, along with True Man Gai…”
“Perfectly, I will invite him over, so you are familiar, and in the future, I ask you both to take special care of him.”
True Man Gai fondled his beard while nodding, mildly intrigued.
Wang Ba swiftly offered his thanks, not bold enough to turn it down.
Without delay, Buddha Tianyin activated the Heart Communication Skill, projecting his voice over thousands of miles.
In just a handful of breaths, Wang Ba detected a presence and peered at the hall’s entryway.
A golden glow neared, encasing a form clad in a white monk’s robe that billowed softly. The youthful silhouette carried a warm smile, with a red lucky mark between his eyebrows, descending outside the hall and entering at a leisurely pace.
As Wang Ba observed this individual, his heart quaked unbidden, unearthing a recollection almost lost to time:
“Xin Yuan?!”
“He is the future Buddha Lord?!”
The former sole Void Refining monk in the Little Cang World, among the Nine Continents from Xituo Continent, who amid a colossal flood devoted himself to sealing the sky yet fell prey to his Heart Demon. In the end, Wang Ba revived him, sparking Xin Yuan’s Nirvana and ascent in Cultivation!
Even with his altered features, his bearing and essence had changed little.
So, Wang Ba spotted him instantly.
Though disbelief gripped him, at that very moment, upon consideration, it struck as wholly logical.
Achieving Void Refining in the Age of Dharma Decline, Xin Yuan’s gifts and skills require no further praise. What stands out even more is his expansive, intrepid soul committed to rescuing others, evidenced by his immediate willingness to seal the Membrane Eye at personal cost.
In a self-focused domain like the Glazed Buddha Realm, such attributes render him the perfect pick for the upcoming Buddha Lord.
The young monk stepped into the hall, gaze fixed forward, inclining his head respectfully to Buddha Tianyin and Yan Poluo:
“Xin Yuan, greet the Buddha Lord, and greet the First Seat.”
Afterward, he regarded True Man Gai and Wang Ba. Meeting True Man Gai prompted no notable response; but confronting Wang Ba, he initially stiffened, then instinctively rubbed his eyes, his countenance twisting in shock:
