Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1196 - 528: Zheng Fa’s Dharma Teaching, Mahayana Buddhism

Chapter 1196: Chapter 528: Zheng Fa’s Dharma Teaching, Mahayana Buddhism

The believers were just bowing their heads when suddenly someone else appeared on the altar, understandably bewildered.

Yet, Zheng Fa was draped in a radiance, with an even purer Buddha light behind his head, so they dared not doubt him, their eyes full of confusion, not knowing what would happen.

Zheng Fa was equally perplexed—how is it that the Jiushan Sect Leader like me ended up on the altar of Leiyin Temple?

It was not intentional, but rather the golden lotus beneath him was acting up.

Zheng Fa could feel that the golden lotus beneath him was connected to the Pure Land above, even the golden bowl of Lu Yao seemed manipulated by this golden lotus, protecting him.

He glanced up and saw Lu Yao had noticed something amiss, lowered his head with a frown, looking at the golden lotus beneath Zheng Fa, he asked Zheng Fa:

"What is this?"

Zheng Fa did not answer, indifferent to those believers of Thunder Sound, his mind solely on the escape plan, finding it troublesome—all around are Golden Immortals, none of them are allies!

While he was pondering, a warm sensation emanated from beneath the golden lotus.

This warmth rose from his waist and legs, gradually permeating his whole body, astonishingly, the various deities within his apertures and organs became clear in form and real in expression under the influence of this radiance, enhancing his cultivation greatly!

He was momentarily stunned, looked up at the Pure Land, seeing wisps and tendrils of radiance fly down from it, falling into the golden lotus.

The Pure Land could nourish Dharma Image, can it also nourish Immortal Body?

Zheng Fa’s heart stirred fiercely.

He had asked the Nine Nether Emperor and others, knowing that generally, independent immortals must go through the nine tribulations to become True Immortals. The nine tribulations are divided into five in the front and four in the back, the first being the Heavenly Human Five Decline Tribulation, which requires the cultivator’s Immortal Body to be complete—it is not easy, ordinary independent immortals may take up to five thousand years to complete their Immortal Body.

Even the Nine Nether Emperor doesn’t have particularly good methods.

But the Pure Land can actually nourish the Immortal Body!

Zheng Fa hesitated for a moment, his Immortal Sense probing into the golden lotus, feeling as if he were flying, soaring across the endless sky.

He seemed to be floating on a giant transparent hot air balloon, gazing at the Buddhist temples on the West Continent that shone like stars.

Wisps and tendrils of radiance rose from the Buddhist temples, floated into the air, then were sent into Zheng Fa’s body by the golden lotus beneath him.

"Faith... incense..."

Zheng Fa suddenly understood in his heart that the Pure Land is like a transformation filter, using the dharma assembly to convert the faith of all beings into nourishment for the Immortal Body!

Right now, these believers are still muddled and skeptical, the power of faith they provide is quite limited.

If that’s the case...

...

In various temples of the West Continent, Zheng Fa’s apparition simultaneously opened its eyes, gazing at the countless followers.

These followers dared not offend the gods and Buddhas, yet their hearts were full of confusion, whispering among themselves, secretly stirring.

Zheng Fa spoke.

"The Buddhist Sect bestowed upon me the golden lotus given by the two Saints of Zhunti, designating me as the inheritor of the Buddhist lineage." He paused here, "In terms of hierarchy, Leiyin Temple would be my juniors within the Buddhist Sect."

"..."

The Great Hero Hall of Leiyin Temple was as cold as a mortuary.

Xuan Chengzi and others glanced left at the Five Directions Buddha, glanced right at the golden lotus beneath Zheng Fa, and inevitably had a peculiar thought—could it be that the Leiyin Ancestor has arrived?

Of course, Lu Yao certainly wouldn’t acknowledge this.

The faces of the Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Leiyin Temple were full of anger and panic.

Liuli Buddha hurriedly said, "Buddha, let us join forces to break this golden bowl..."

"This golden bowl is connected to the Pure Land."

"Together, our power is enough!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"I’m saying, what if it affects the Pure Land?" Lu Yao frowningly replied.

Liuli Buddha was immediately speechless, he also knew that the Pure Land is the foundation of Leiyin Temple, if something goes wrong, they would be beyond redemption.

Lu Yao took a deep breath, coldly glaring at Zheng Fa, "Let’s first take back the Pure Land, he can’t escape..."

"Yes!"

The Five Directions Buddha of Leiyin Temple, along with various Bodhisattvas and Arhats, began chanting Buddhist scripture together, in their chanting, various Dharma Images condensed behind them, flying towards the Pure Land.

Zheng Fa on the altar paid no heed to these people, he only felt that after uttering those words, the warmth from the lotus platform became even more intense, delighting his heart.

"Today I shall explain the Saint’s True Inheritance Buddhism for you." Zheng Fa continued, "This method is the core of the Buddhist Sect."

"In the future, if anyone challenges the Buddhism I speak of, they would be considered defamers and destroyers of Buddhism with heterodox methods."

The chanting in the Great Hero Hall instantly became chaotic, seemed like a few couldn’t help but shout in anger.

Lu Yao’s face was full of anger, his expression twisted for a long time, and then he actually sneered: "A mere independent immortal, such audacity..."

Xuan Chengzi snickered inwardly, exchanged glances with the other two senior brothers, remaining silent, just watching the show.

In the distance, in the Underworld.

The Nine Nether Emperor stood on Yin Mountain, gazing afar, laughing heartily.

"Emperor..." Yan Changge was a bit puzzled, asking, "Emperor, why are you laughing so heartily?"

The Nine Nether Emperor waved his hand, signaling not to disturb him watching Lu Yao’s humiliation, while laughing, he listened to Zheng Fa’s lecture.

...

Zheng Fa sat on the altar, the believers looked at him, with greater doubt in their eyes.

He extended his hand, a plain, ordinary stone appeared in his palm.

The believers exchanged glances more bewildered, not knowing what he intended.

Zheng Fa knew that when it came to explaining Buddhist doctrines, he truly couldn’t match the people of Leiyin Temple, but he could make them see!

"What I am going to discuss now is the origin of heaven and earth, the source of all things... this is a mortal stone, devoid of spiritual energy."

Zheng Fa pinched the stone, which then crumbled, he gestured again, and an increasingly microscopic scene appeared before the crowd.

Stone powder—molecules—atoms—

The deepest secrets of a stone, its fundamental structure, unfolded before the eyes of these ordinary people.

Although Zheng Fa didn’t elaborate much, everything in the imagery has already explained something clearly—a moment ago that stone was composed of such tiny particles.
