Why should I share my painstaking cultivation and insights with others, giving them the opportunity to glimpse a higher realm?
However, in the Realm of the Gods, there is no need to worry about this situation; it is just a very normal suggestion.
The atmosphere among the emperors of the Void God Realm is quite different...
Each of the emperors has several copies of these insights stored in the Realm of the Gods.
Enlightenment upon becoming an emperor, enlightenment upon approaching immortality...
Only when the Dao and its teachings flourish and the golden age lasts forever will they have a glimmer of hope in the face of darkness.
“However, the name of this Dharma assembly needs to be changed,” Amitabha Buddha suddenly said, drawing the attention of the emperors. Change the name of the Dharma assembly? What would be the point?
"The Heavenly Emperor convened the Immortal Dao Assembly in the past, achieving a great accomplishment that no one in history could match. I, on the other hand, have only achieved the status of a True Immortal, and my accomplishments are far from comparable to those of the Heavenly Emperor. It is not good for the assembly to share the same name as the Heavenly Emperor's."
Amitabha Buddha has a kind face, and his eyes reveal the light of wisdom.
"Therefore, let's call my Dharma assembly the Lesser Immortal Path Dharma Assembly!"
Yunhua froze, and the emperors fell silent, all gazing towards Amitabha Buddha. Truly, you've got some nerve...
"Furthermore, my cultivation is naturally far inferior to that of the Heavenly Emperor, and my understanding of the Great Dao is not as profound as that of the Heavenly Emperor. The Lesser Immortal Dao Dharma Assembly can only be attended by those at the Saint Realm and above."
"I am ashamed, I need to work harder so that I can at least catch a glimpse of the Heavenly Emperor's back."
The atmosphere fell silent. Yunhua's lips curled up, and then her smile gradually widened.
“Amitabha, given our friendship, there’s no need to be so reserved.”
"This concerns the Dao, so please, Heavenly Emperor, do not try to persuade me," Amitabha Buddha solemnly said.
Look, he's even bringing up Taoism now. Amitabha, you deserve to become an immortal!
In the end, Yunhua sighed and could only let Amitabha Buddha take his leave.
Amitabha Buddha is so considerate of me, so I cannot let Amitabha Buddha down.
Yunhua thought to herself, already wondering what Amitabha Buddha would find at the door when he returned to his own little world.
Last time, Amitabha Buddha found the Sutra of the Three Lives of the Yang God, which directly led to his Nirvana. What should be arranged this time?
The emperors quickly turned their heads away, unable to bear witnessing this harmonious scene of emperors and Buddhas, fearing they might be moved to tears.
Amitabha Buddha departed and returned to his own little world. He needed to meditate for a period of time before holding his little Taoist ceremony.
The world is vast, but we must still stabilize our cultivation and transform everything into the realm of immortality.
This will also allow him to better explain the Dharma.
"I am Amitabha, and I have now become an immortal. I am following the example of the Heavenly Emperor and will hold a Lesser Immortal Dao Dharma Assembly four hundred years from now to preach the Dao of Immortality. All those who are at the Saint Realm or above are welcome to attend!"
A magnificent and immortal sound resounded in the ears of everyone in the heavens and the ten earths and in the strange world, eliciting cheers from all living beings.
The fact that Amitabha became an immortal was not unexpected.
When strange phenomena occurred frequently, everyone probably guessed what was going on.
Looking across the past, present, and future, among all the Buddhist and Taoist practitioners who have reached this stage, there is only one Amitabha Buddha.
It just so happens that he has been cultivating in the Realm of the Gods for a long time, so it must be him.
It's impossible for a Buddha or immortal to suddenly pop out of some random corner!
Chapter 520 All Saints Arrive
However, what puzzles people is why it is called the Lesser Immortal Dao Dharma Assembly, and why only cultivators of sainthood and above are allowed to attend.
When the Heavenly Emperor preached the Dharma, it was a grand gathering for all living beings in the world!
Some people, however, interpreted Amitabha Buddha's words in a different way.
The phrase "emulate the Heavenly Emperor" undoubtedly reveals a message.
I am imitating the Heavenly Emperor. Even after I become an immortal, I will still imitate the Heavenly Emperor and follow his rules!
The message conveyed by this information is self-evident.
One can only sigh, the Heavenly Emperor is indeed the Heavenly Emperor. He was able to kill a True Immortal while still in the realm of humanity. I wonder what level he has reached now that he is a Celestial King.
Anyway, he is definitely much, much stronger than the Celestial King.
The emperors, however, thought differently; their lamentations were directed at…
Amitabha Buddha truly lives up to his name; those words were simply beautiful!
Look, this is what it means to be a Buddha, and what it means to be good at handling things.
Because of the Lesser Immortal Dao Dharma Assembly that Amitabha Buddha was to hold four hundred years later, the emperors no longer ventured into the Boundary Sea or went to the old lands of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
They must be present at the Lesser Immortal Dao Dharma Assembly four hundred years later.
Otherwise, if people see that none of the emperors have come to this Dharma assembly, they might think that there is infighting in the Void God Realm!
……
Time flies. The higher one's cultivation level and the higher one's life level, the more different one's perception of time becomes compared to lower levels.
For Yunhua and the emperors, four hundred years was just a blink of an eye.
However, for most people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, four hundred years is quite a long time.
Many minor cultivators have advanced to the Saint Realm and are qualified to listen to Amitabha's sermons, and many saints have become great saints while eagerly awaiting the Lesser Immortal Dao Dharma Assembly.
Now, the four-hundred-year period has arrived, and Amitabha Buddha has emerged from seclusion a few days ahead of schedule and has begun preparing for his own small immortal dharma assembly.
The four-hundred-year period has come to an end. May Amitabha Buddha return to his rightful place!
When the time came, the Lesser Immortal Dao Dharma Assembly immediately began, and all beings of sainthood and above were pulled into the world temporarily created by Amitabha Buddha.
Since everyone has a connection to the Realm of the Gods and has a registered address there, Amitabha Buddha, as one of the emperors of the Realm of the Gods, would naturally not mistakenly register someone.
Once a living being enters the path of immortality, their abilities will naturally undergo a tremendous transformation. Amitabha Buddha, this world has no problem accommodating cultivators at the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Saint Realm and above.
If Amitabha Buddha so desires, he could now travel to the chaos beyond the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and create a true world.
Of course, it can't compare to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
It can only be considered a small realm, and it requires a great deal of effort to maintain.
Only a Celestial King can create a great world that cannot exist for long. Of course, if a Celestial King is willing to expend power to maintain the great world he created, he can also extend the lifespan of that great world.
But this is meaningless. What about the living beings within the great realm after it's been created? What about their cultivation?
All the saints gathered before Amitabha Buddha, wishing to hear the divine teachings.
One by one, the emperors appeared. Yunhua did not waste time or make a big show of himself by arriving late, thus keeping the saints who were listening to the sermon waiting for a long time.
That makes no sense.
The saints paid their respects to the emperors, Amitabha Buddha, and Yunhua. Then, seeing that Amitabha Buddha seemed to be asking if the Little Immortal Dao Dharma Assembly could begin, Yunhua quickly stopped him.
No need, really no need.
Then Amitabha Buddha began to preach, explaining the great Dao of Heaven and Earth from the perspective of a Buddha.
Yunhua listened quietly, while looking down at the saints below.
"Now Amitabha Buddha has captured all the saints in one fell swoop."
That's right, right now, the two worlds outside are practically devoid of saints!
The highest level is the King of the Dao, and if someone breaks through and becomes a saint during Amitabha Buddha's sermon, they will also be pulled over.
"Amitabha, you are very thoughtful." Yunhua thought to himself, why does Amitabha only allow beings at the Saint Realm and above to listen to his sermons?
It certainly wasn't because he wanted to flatter Yunhua. Well, that was indeed one reason.
But most importantly, Amitabha Buddha is very measured.
Unlike Yunhua's previous sermons, which could be attended by everyone regardless of their cultivation level, this one was different.
The Buddhist path cultivated by Amitabha Buddha has its own unique characteristics. If a cultivator below the level of a saint comes to listen to a Buddha or immortal preach, even if the Buddha or immortal has no ill intentions and tries his best to conceal the unique characteristics of Buddhism.
Those cultivators below the Saint Realm will almost certainly develop a different feeling towards Buddhism and Taoism, greatly increasing their chances of joining the Buddhist order.
If a minor Taoist ceremony were to cause all the cultivators in the Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, and other strange worlds who had not yet attained sainthood to admire Buddhism and Taoism and wish they could join the Buddhist order, that would be quite ridiculous.
After achieving sainthood and embarking on one's own path, the situation changes, and one becomes able to effectively resist such influences.
It can even help to temper one's will and mind.
After all, the purpose of Amitabha Buddha is only to preach and spread the Dharma, not to convert people. He is also actively restraining the influence of Buddhism and Taoism on the spiritual realm.
Therefore, the sage is able to resist.
Amitabha Buddha had no other thoughts; he only wished to be one of the emperors under the Heavenly Emperor in peace.
His declaration to the world about convening the Little Immortal Dao Dharma Assembly also conveyed this meaning.
With Buddha under the Emperor's command, I have no other intentions. If you want to cause trouble, don't try to use Buddhism as a pretext. I won't play along!
Amitabha Buddha becoming the first true immortal in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will inevitably make some people restless, and the most likely to be restless are some people within Buddhism itself!
Amitabha Buddha's sermon this time was also intended to give Buddhist practitioners a good talking-to.
Yunhua, with his current level of understanding, wouldn't care about these things anymore, but Amitabha Buddha wouldn't allow such a thing to start from his side.
The time spent preaching passed exceptionally quickly; a hundred years flew by in the blink of an eye.
Those present were at least saints, living for ten thousand years, while those who attained enlightenment through unconventional means had lifespans of tens of thousands of years.
A century is but a drop in the ocean.
During these hundred years, not a single cultivator left; they all listened attentively. For a sage, listening to the Buddha and immortals preach for a hundred years was better than the time it would take to cultivate as a monkey.
Although there is no way to transcend tribulations and break through here, it is foreseeable that after Amitabha Buddha finishes his sermon and all the saints return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the strength of the beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will increase significantly.
Chapter 521 Changes in the Ancient Heavenly Court
"Everyone, I'm going to the Boundary Sea." Yunhua said this to the emperors who were listening to the Dao, and then hurriedly left.
Some changes have occurred in the Boundary Sea. The ancient Heavenly Court's former territory has emerged from the depths of space and time, appearing above the Primordial Boundary Sea, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden. Although it is still in a different dimension, it seems to be releasing some kind of signal, summoning someone.
Yunhua's intuition told him that Little Stone might be looking for him.
Throughout the entire Primordial Sea, you only need to look up to see the faintly visible Eternal Realm and the supreme Heavenly Palace.
Every Celestial King looked at that celestial palace and wondered where it was.
The former territory of the ancient Heavenly Court, which once ruled the entire Boundary Sea and possessed the power of an emperor!
The celestial kings had a deep longing in their eyes, yearning for that heavenly palace.
It contains a treasure, a treasure that would tempt even a Celestial King.
Each Celestial King possesses their own secret techniques and supernatural abilities, but there aren't many of them.
The secret techniques and supernatural abilities at the Celestial King level are not something you, as a Celestial King, can create at will.
Not to mention creating secret techniques that surpass one's own level.
In the ancient Heavenly Court's former territory, there are countless Immortal King secret techniques, ranging from ordinary to top-tier.
That was the accumulation when the ancient Heavenly Court ruled the Boundary Sea.
The strength of a cultivator is composed primarily of their own cultivation level, followed by their weapons and secret techniques.
If an ordinary Immortal King possessed a secret technique at the level of a giant, the enhancement to his strength would be self-evident.
If one could enter the ancient Heavenly Court's former territory, not to mention the secret techniques of giants, it wouldn't be impossible to obtain secret techniques of supreme giants, or even those of beings who have comprehended some of the Dao of Quasi-Immortal Emperors and whose bodies radiate supreme brilliance.
Especially now, with the Fallen Realm Sea's offensive becoming increasingly fierce, the Immortal Kings are even more eager for anything that can enhance their own strength.
"What's wrong with the Heavenly Court?" In a super-great realm, the changes in the Heavenly Court alarmed a Celestial King whose body radiated the light of a Quasi-Celestial Emperor.
He was a powerful figure who had lived through the era when the Heavenly Court ruled the Boundary Sea, and he still harbored a deep longing for the ancient Heavenly Court's former territory. Because within it lay the techniques of a quasi-Immortal Emperor!
"It has been over a million years since the Lord of Heaven led the Heavenly Court away, and this is the first time such a change has occurred..."
The Emperor Light Immortal King pondered for a moment, then displayed his great power, hoping to take advantage of the recent anomalies in the ancient Heavenly Court's former territory to see if he could enter it.
Emperor Guangxianwang's power was naturally astonishing, easily reversing the passage of time and shattering the endless void. Unfortunately, he was helpless against the ancient Heavenly Court's former territory right there in the sky.
Not only this Emperor Light Immortal King, but other beings of equal standing, or even supreme giants, were also making the same attempts, but all of them ultimately failed.
