Chapter 1463: Chapter 516: True Self, Master of the Buddha Country

Dou Mu had not explained too much to the Star Lord.

She indeed trusted Ji Jingqiu, but it was not Ji Jingqiu himself she trusted, rather the power itself.

Ji Jingqiu currently has no possibility of betraying the Heavenly Court, unless he is willing to abandon everything he has now.

But if he were to abandon everything now, what could Ji Jingqiu betray the Heavenly Court with?

"It’s a pity, you’re still too merciful."

The Star Lord said blandly,

"If you had been ruthless and forced him, he might have risked Harmonizing with the Nether Sea, attempting to break free from the control of the Investiture of the Gods. In this way, the Nether Sea of this world would return to the control of the Heavenly Court, giving us another trump card."

"For now, Emperor Yi’s advice has taken effect. Even if he doesn’t fully believe Emperor Yi, he has become more vigilant."

"There’s no need," Dou Mu disagreed, "I don’t have time to deal with the Nether Sea. The return of those Returning to Truth in the later generations will be within a thousand years. Besides, when Ji Jingqiu truly returns his heart, the Nether Sea can naturally belong to us."

The Star Lord calmly said, "If you can merge the Nether Sea into the Investiture of the Gods, you might gain some unexpected rewards."

Dou Mu paused slightly, seeming somewhat tempted in her expression, but finally shook her head, "Too risky, with a moment of carelessness, the Nether Sea could risk turning into the Bitter Sea."

"Even if it falls into the Bitter Sea, isn’t there still this World Venerate Ji to back us up?" The Star Lord retorted.

Suddenly, Dou Mu said, "You go personally, see if you can infiltrate the Netherworld, I want to know if Mu Shitian and He Donghuang are dead or have disappeared."

The Star Lord’s eyes narrowed, "What are you suspecting, or have you seen something? These two beings from later generations, who haven’t even attained the Transcendence Fruit Position and have long been half-dead, are worth such importance from you and me?"

Dou Mu coldly said, "Just go when I tell you to. Don’t underestimate these two. I went through the flow of time in the Netherworld these years, these two beings from later generations may be the only two who glimpsed the Other Shore."

The Star Lord smirked, "You believe in such rumors? If cultivation for hundreds of years allows one to see the Other Shore, then what’s the purpose of us being alive? Just to muddle along and wait for death?"

Dou Mu shook her head, "This matter might be related to the layout of the Netherworld Lord, it may not be false. Among the later generations of Returning to Truth, the Netherworld Lord is the most unpredictable."

Speaking of the Netherworld Lord, Dou Mu unusually showed a solemn demeanor:

"Able to independently find the Land of Returning to Truth, snatch a core place from those people, his strong means are evident! I suspect, before the Netherworld Lord went to the Returning to Truth Land, he had glimpsed where the Other Shore is!"

"The most correct thing I did back then was guiding all the Ancestors to hunt him down, otherwise if he fully digested what he obtained from the Returning to Truth Land, established a foothold, he might become the leader of the Ancestors of the later generations, another ’Heavenly Emperor’!"

The Star Lord suddenly said, "The piece of Returning to Truth Land the Netherworld Lord snatched, it seems to have fallen into the hands of World Venerate Ji now?"

Dou Mu nodded, "I checked, that fragment of Returning to Truth Land has been completely refined by World Venerate Ji into his Dao Foundation, the cost of extracting it is too great."

The Star Lord looked oddly, "Nether Sea, Returning to Truth Land fragments... Ji Jingqiu is involved with so many ’wondrous things’, do you truly give up not taking them?"

Dou Mu glanced at him, "You, in the past, anyhow were a Returning to Truth person, and will be one of the Five Emperors in future, Ancestor of the Divine Dao, why still focus on these external things? As long as Ji Jingqiu is still in the Heavenly Court, these things on him, on you, are no different to me."

The Star Lord nodded, a few traces of mockery appearing in his calm eyes.

In other words, as long as Ji Jingqiu abandons the Heavenly Court, Dou Mu will act, reclaiming these divine items?

As the Pure Buddha Country before him became increasingly grand and magnificent, until it was completely set, with growth almost imperceptible, the Star Lord spoke:

"This is the limit, it’s reached."

"Next, I will send people to advance the Buddhist faith in the other realms."

Dou Mu nodded, "Extract sixty divine beings from the Heavenly Court, enter the Buddhist system, and serve as All Heavenly Arhat Bodhisattva, to relieve the pressure of Wish Power Incense for Ji Jingqiu."

Upon hearing this, the Star Lord was immediately interested, apparently Dou Mu did not trust Ji Jingqiu so much, deploying sixty Heavenly Court Gods into Buddhism to assume important positions, this is to balance power.

He was originally prepared to wait for Ji Jingqiu to be crushed by this vast stream of faith and incense, forced to seek help from the Heavenly Court.

But now that Dou Mu is willing to distribute power, he will place his people inside, temporarily letting Ji Jingqiu go.

Of course.

Before that, he will make Ji Jingqiu understand, without the Heavenly Court, he is nothing.

While the Star Lord’s heart was set, he suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp, locked onto the endless Void outside, his expression stern, finally coldly saying:

"Good trick!"

...

...

"I hereby request Brahma Buddha to return to position, open the Pure Bliss Buddha Country, so all beings may be free from fear, and escape the suffering of the Five Dirts; attain the ultimate joy of Nirvana; break the web of ignorance and darkness, enter the sea of prajna wisdom. May all sentient beings ascend to Paradise together, and collectively witness Bodhi..."

The sound of reciting Buddha, endless and long-lasting, countless beings are burning incense and chanting scriptures, under the power of faith and incense, transmitted into Ji Jingqiu’s ears.

At first, Ji Jingqiu was able to control it, not disturbed by the plethora of prayers, previously having the Supreme True Buddha as an example, he had some experience.

But gradually, as the prayers became more and more chaotic, his thoughts inevitably became disordered.

Ji Jingqiu’s expression turned slightly unpleasant, Dou Mu had indeed researched the World Venerable Lineage’s texts.

Brahma signifies creation.

Brahma Buddha, is the Buddha of creation.

The preceding prayers must have been teachings prepared by the Heavenly Court, positioning him as Brahma Buddha so that all kinds of followers would plead him to create a Pure Bliss World for the world, guiding sentient beings to enjoy Great Bliss, Great Purity, Great Freedom.
