Capítulo 2449: Chapter 218: Perfume Sea (Part 3)
Though Kong Zen speaks in a lighthearted and playful manner, much like a mischievous child, his core embodies a profound Buddha nature—formless and selfless. He stands as a genuine heir to Mahayana Buddhism. With boundless compassion, he cherishes every sentient being, and across the whole Eastern Luli Buddha Realm, he's the sole figure I've witnessed with the potential to resolve this disaster.
A slight furrow creased Yan Poluo's brow, prompting him to counter softly:
Yet the Supreme True Buddha pursues Mahayana Buddhism as well…
Buddha Tianyin remained unperturbed, replying with serenity:
Precisely for that reason, he requires proper direction all the more.
His eyes then turned to Yan Poluo with expectation:
Yan Poluo, once I enter Nirvana, the duty of mentoring him falls to you…
Upon these words, Yan Poluo paused in silence, bowed his head, and offered no reply.
Buddha Tianyin simply let out a soft sigh at the sight, before lifting his gaze once more to the heavens.
…
I never imagined that a slacker like you would get selected as a Buddha Lord.
Perfume Sea.
Despite its name suggesting an ocean, it's truly a stream cascading from Sumeru Mountain, winding like a silken band around its slopes.
The waters gleam with purity, subtly releasing an enchanting aroma.
Kong Zen and Wang Ba strolled alongside the current, having sealed off their vicinity with ease; Wang Ba couldn't resist a teasing remark.
Kong Zen spat in response and declared:
What rubbish! It's all thanks to that sharp-eyed Tianyin old man!
With a wink and a crafty grin, he added:
As I mentioned earlier, the Dharma I practice isn't the usual sort—did you believe I was pulling your leg?
He then bragged with flair:
Well, what did you think? Did my grand appearance earlier leave you stunned?
Being such close companions, Wang Ba had indeed been taken aback, and Kong Zen relished the chance to hear praise.
Wang Ba chuckled and dodged lightly:
You put on a fine show.
Aware of Wang Ba's casual tone, Kong Zen shrugged it off, laughing even more smugly, and gestured toward Perfume Sea:
Yan Poluo must have explained to you that this Perfume Sea counts as a gem of the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm. A monk who had already ascended from here deliberately placed it upon returning from the Third Realm Sea. By descending Sumeru Mountain to its base, sipping the Perfume Sea's waters to refresh your mind, and then ascending anew, one can reap significant benefits…
This revelation drew Wang Ba's keen inspection of Perfume Sea, followed by a puzzled query:
Why does the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm lack Dao Treasures from the Second Realm Sea?
Given the thirty-six Innate Cloud Bans, there ought to be even superior Dao Treasures above them…
Kong Zen mulled it over briefly before shaking his head:
I'm not sure; maybe it's bound by the Realm Sea's own laws. As for that True Void Staff you're after, it's probably with old Tianyin. No need to fret yet—once I'm the future Buddha Lord, everything will sort itself out!
Wang Ba cleared his throat and remarked:
This Buddha Lord has been kind to you; since your Nirvana Ascension, he's mentored you closely. You ought to hold him in higher regard.
Kong Zen dismissed it with a wave:
It's just 'cause I'm the next Buddha Lord… Fine, Master Buddha, got it, got it.
Wang Ba held his tongue, recognizing Kong Zen's chatty ways hid a truly kind spirit.
Such traits had always defined him.
Perceiving Wang Ba's musings, Kong Zen shifted gears on purpose:
Hey, now that you've grasped the Earth, Fire, Water, Wind Dao, it's prime time to pick up some Buddhist Divine Skills. Old Tianyin sealed much of your recollection on this. We recall the titles but not the practices. Our bond can't bridge that gap without my personal instruction. So, fancy picking up a couple of moves?
I'd been curious why chunks of your memories seemed hazy.
Wang Ba, upon hearing this, sifted through Kong Zen's patchy recollections to select a handful.
Kong Zen wasted no time and started reciting:
These Dharma Aspect Divine Powers are remarkable, capable of summoning the ‘Divine Power Buddha Dharma Aspect’… along with the ‘Eight Heavenly Dragon Great Divine Powers’… And the ‘Technique of Truthful Listening’, which separates reality from deception…
Separates reality from deception?
Wang Ba narrowed his gaze, not dwelling on it, and swiftly etched these divine powers into his mind.
As they progressed by Perfume Sea, the pair exchanged thoughts wordlessly on Buddhist principles…
Right then.
Beyond the Eastern Luli Buddha Realm.
In the emptiness where the Black Realm Domain meets the immense Chaos Origin Substance, a silhouette hovered motionless, staring intently at the Domain before him, his tone grave:
It's been ages since I came back…
As if detecting his presence, the Domain ahead parted a rift right in his path, like an invitation for its lord's return.
The figure then advanced steadily into it…
