Chapter 2541: Five Lords Enter the Hall, How Dare They Overstep

The World Honored One is clearly the identity of the Yiluo clansman, the Yiluo clan's highest achiever, and also its most famous and prominent existence. Di Zang is a Buddha who crawled up from the World Honored One's corpse. In some sense, the Yiluo River is also His mother river! The flowing white silk is the water of His hometown, and the howling mad waves are His road home. Just as the Yiluo Heavenly River traverses the long sky, hua hua hua— a glorious and splendid Buddha image rises from the middle of the river flow!

He has a pair of compassionate eyes, warmly gazing at every person with pity. He has a fleshy ushnisha on His head, white hair between His eyebrows, eyelashes like those of a bull king, and dark blue eye color... He possesses the thirty-two dignified aspects and the eighty kinds of secondary characteristics. His form is especially victorious and complete, with a solemn and virtuous appearance!

The turbulent river water is all for the Buddha's body. A hundred zhang, a thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang. The Buddha nature scattered in various heavens and myriad worlds, and the Zen intent that has not yet been completely extinguished, all return. The true Di Zang only fully manifests here, with the underworld as His pure land and the Yiluo Heavenly River as His Brahma body. After the World Honored One's death, the endless underworld appears, the Heavenly River spans across, and Di Zang Buddha emerges!

This Buddha image lowers His eyes to gaze at the underworld and sighs lightly: “I see one drop of the Heavenly River, ten thousand years later it will be mad waves!” Over a long period, He has gradually exerted power to seal the moon within the Zen well. In the deepest part of the central heavenly prison, within that lost time and space, His painstaking layout only now manifests its outline—after Gongsun Xi's death, He went to the You Ming Great World for the first time. While tracing the Yellow Springs and simultaneously evolving the knowledge-hearing dog, He also personally arrived in the underworld to continue the game left by the Buddha family in the You Ming Great World years ago.

Although that year's layout has already failed, and Zen traces and Brahma marks are not seen in the You soil, as the original desire of the World Honored One, He can still easily inherit the World Honored One's legacy. He grasps all the myths about hell since ancient times and possesses the underworld. Jing Tian Zi's personal expedition and Qi Tian Zi's joint encirclement are beyond the will of heaven, exceeding His calculations and forcing Him to leave the underworld. But the early prepared key, which has also naturally evolved, could only push open the great door of the underworld for Him in this remote sea. Hell No Door, which can only act fiercely at the Cave True level and fundamentally holds no weight in the eyes of true contemporary power holders, was the instrument. The possibility of the Eternal Pure Land also unfolds from this! It is precisely the wind rising from the green ping.

At this moment, in the various heavens and myriad worlds, wherever there is a temple, Brahma songs resound, and the sound of great bells is fully heard. Those chanting are not Zen cultivators, but are reciting Buddhist scriptures. Those striking the bells are not monks, but the wind of heaven. This is the true return of the Buddha of ten thousand Buddhas and the Zen of the crowd of Zen, transmitting to the world that the Buddha dharma has its ancestor and contemporary prominent learning has its sect! The full manifestation of Di Zang's body is no less significant to the Buddha family than the awakening of the Confucian ancestor and Legalist ancestor to the Confucian and Legalist families, and no less than the return of the Mo ancestor to Ju Cheng!

World Honored One... World Honored One! Although there isn't actually such a dharma sound ringing, many Buddhist dharma and profound Zen cultivators already have a long bell ringing in their hearts and cannot help but have hot tears filling their eyes! For how many years have monks been waiting for the name of the World Honored One! If He is the true World Honored One, then the Zen cultivation of myriad worlds will forever have its merit. Although the end of the calamity has arrived, how can it be said there is no road?

In this kind of glorious moment when myriad worlds respond to the Buddha and Zen illuminates the underworld, Chu Jiang King, with eyes full of blood tears, stops singing. The folk song of the Yiluo clan is mixed and shattered in the turbulent river waves. Her figure stands still in front of the Puming Palace gate. Not only her, but also Qin Guang King in front of the Xuanming Palace, Song Emperor King in front of the Zhu Jue Palace... every Yan Luo appears outside the underworld palace corresponding to their divine duty. As long as Di Zang has one thought, they must walk in, even though they have already become true Yan Luo Great Monarchs. But Di Zang does not do so.

The underworld has already been established, the Yan Luo treasure palaces have been formed, and these people almost have no value anymore. But the Buddha loves the people of the world, and the Buddha is still willing to give them opportunities. His magnanimous and compassionate voice rings in everyone's hearts: “The underworld has been formed, the divine positions are suspended—various positions come and go according to self-will, the Buddha speaks of fate, not of force.”

Turning Wheel King She Di Sheng naturally walked into the palace without hesitation and entered his main divine palace. Wu Official King and Metropolis King then had no other choice but to each enter their palaces. No matter what lies ahead, now there is only one road to walk to the end.

Yan Xiao... Yan Xiao only changed position and pretended to be foolish at the entrance of the Ming Chen Palace. It instinctively desired the opportunity of a Yang God but also did not want to bear the risk of being pursued and killed by Jiang Wang, so it decided to wait and see.

Yan Luo King Su She is an extremely capable person, and this is not only reflected in his cultivation. He once established the wealthy and powerful Ju Bao Shang Hui in Qi Country, and after betting wrong, he was designed and pulled down by Zhong Xuan Sheng. He did not abandon himself; after feigning death and escaping, he was still able to start from scratch, establish a small business alliance, and rapidly develop and expand it, and then... then be divided and eaten by Yin Guan and Zhong Xuan Sheng. He has a kind of fear towards Zhong Xuan Sheng. The first time he lost, it could be said that he was caught off guard by a cold arrow. The second time, he was the one hiding in the dark! But before the cold arrow was even shot, he was already pressed onto the chopping block.

When he chose sides earlier, he said it was because of the Red Heart Seal that he chose sides. In fact, it was more due to his fear of Zhong Xuan Sheng and not daring to be an enemy again. And the reason for finding the excuse of the human race's first heavenly pride was to probe the relationship between Jiang Wang and Yin Guan. Indeed, these two people have never had contact in public, but he did not forget that when he strongly killed Jiang Wang back then, it was Yin Guan who made a move to intercept him. This time, the Red Heart Seal flew out from inside Yan Xiao's body, almost verifying his past guess! The reason why Yin Guan and Zhong Xuan Sheng divided and ate his business is also explained by this—these two people became connected because of Jiang Wang. The earlier evil Yan Luo Bian Cheng King was very likely Jiang Wang! The current Bian Cheng King, Yan Xiao, is his pet! Under such a guess, he naturally could not listen to the promise of a person who hides their head and exposes their tail, even if the opponent is a Buddha.

But now it's different—Wu Official King and Metropolis King have all verified the promise of a true god, and Turning Wheel King has even stepped onto the position of a Yang God. Chu Jiang King, the number one clever person in Hell No Door, always responsible for organizing and formulating action plans, is fundamentally just a chess piece for that returned Buddha, singing praises to the Buddha. Qin Guang King, with top-tier wisdom and military force, was calculated from beginning to end and could only powerlessly bear everything. How to choose is truly not a difficult calculation. Every person who understands gambling techniques knows that luck is the only truth in a casino. But the more skilled in gambling techniques a person is, the more they believe in their own gambling techniques rather than so-called luck.

He deeply looked at Yin Guan, did not turn back, and walked into the Jiu Lun Palace. The Five Halls of Yan Luo Kings returned to their positions! Instantly, divine light shone up, and this side of the underworld became more solidified. Flowers bloomed from the rock crevices. The more Yan Jun entered their divine palaces, the more true and complete the Yan Luo treasure palaces became, and the stronger the power of the underworld, of course, the more attractive it became.

Especially the first hall, Xuan Ming Palace—the divine glory of this palace, which has no master, shines by itself, earnestly flowing towards Qin Guang King, impatient to belong to him and achieve the true Yan Luo Great Monarch! The absolute peak is within reach, separated only by one door. After stepping in, he perhaps no longer needs to fall into a moment of no choice. At least when facing figures like Shen Xia, he has the room to negotiate. The pure land opens for him. The gods and ghosts inside the palace have already bowed down: “Respectfully welcome Yan Jun!” The treasure seat, the crown and clothes, the extraordinary and absolute peak power, are all in front of him. Step over the threshold, and it will be a new heaven!

Yin Guan grabbed the door frame of the Xuan Ming Palace with one hand and pushed his own body outside the palace. He will never agree to so-called fate. Why did he have to experience those things? Why was he born to suffer? He never complained, but he could not resign himself to fate either. He would only return the suffering imposed on him a hundred times to those who injured him. Whoever made his life difficult, he would make their soul fly and their spirit scatter. Whether Di Zang truly allows him to refuse or not, it doesn't matter. Even if he is wiped out now, it is a person named Yin Guan who is wiped out, not a divine duty, not a Yan Jun of the underworld.

Chu Jiang King, with eyes full of blood tears, followed him and walked. From beginning to end, she did not look into the Puming Palace. In this sacred and splendid underworld realm, those who are being crowned are being crowned, those standing still are standing still, the Buddha light shines universally, each is fresh, each is glorious. Only two miserable-looking people walk side by side towards the outside of the underworld. Singing the Yiluo clan songs, attracting the Yiluo Heavenly River, establishing a body for Di Zang... this is not their problem, not something they can resist. Lou Jiangyue did not explain, and Yin Guan did not comfort her either. There was no need for words, they understood each other's hearts.

They no longer had any power to resist, but leaving was their resistance. And they... truly left just like this. They easily walked out of this island reef and then walked out of the underworld realm, rowing side by side in the sea, getting further and further away. There was no imagined wiping out, no angry Vajra eyes, no Buddha's industry fire. Di Zang only gazed at them compassionately, without any action. He indeed did not force them.

Hua la la. Tai Shan King, whose name is taken from a mountain, yet controls water. At this moment, he wades through the water as if rowing a boat. He made the same choice as Qin Guang King and Chu Jiang King, but he did not step forward at the first moment. Although it is said that everyone in Hell No Door is risking their lives for the future, only these two true madmen truly do not care about life and death... He had not been in this organization for long and still had no deep emotions. Of course, the excellent organizational tradition also allowed him to make any decision without guilt. After confirming the safety of leaving, he only walked outwards. But he did not walk with those two people. The back figures of those two people walking side by side... he truly could not bring himself to destroy them.

Song Emperor King Lin Jie reluctantly glanced at the Zhu Jue Palace, then resolutely turned around and flew into the high sky, leaving just like that. He had already found no road in his country and then came to Hell No Door. The road to a true god, even a Yang God, is truly in front of him, and it's impossible for his heart not to be moved. But the Red Heart Seal was swallowed in the Ming Chen Palace, and Zhen Jiang True Monarch and Di Zang must have an encounter... He did not blindly believe that Zhen Jiang True Monarch now possessed the power to challenge Di Zang. He only believed in the direction of the contemporary human race's progress. If a conflict arises between the two sides, this venerable Buddha, who came from who knows which corner, will certainly not be able to block the wheel of history. The glorious underworld before him is probably not eternal. He believes that he is also one of the future of the human race, and of course, he will not stay on this sinking broken ship.

Equality King Yang Xuan Ce quietly watched Qin Guang King leave, and after confirming that Qin Guang King was fine, he turned around and walked into the palace, accepted the crown, and entered the main Qi Fei Palace. He needed power, he greatly needed it, and for this, he was willing to pay many prices. But if Di Zang were to harm Qin Guang King, then he would not make this choice—because Qin Guang King has shown him kindness, even if Qin Guang King himself does not feel it. Turning Wheel, Metropolis, Wu Official, Yan Luo, Equality, the five Yan Luo Great Monarchs stood in their positions. The five monarchs entered the palace, and the underworld shone with great light. The ten thousand zhang Buddha that rose from the Yiluo Heavenly River, even the texture on His face was abnormally clear, as if carved from gold foil. He silently gazed at the choices of all the Yan Luo, but there was no reaction, nor did He interfere in any way. This included Yan Xiao, who was standing there in a daze. He calmly accepted all fate and allowed everything to happen. He was able to change the time within the underworld's range. One instant in the present world could be a thousand years or a hundred years in the underworld. So He could calmly gaze at the unfolding of different stories, the complexity of human nature, which was also His window to observe the world.

Of course, it is not possible for the underworld to truly have a development time of ten thousand years or even tens of thousands of years. Because the change in time within this underworld is simply being extremely compressed by the tightly pursuing external forces. So it was just after these few comings and goings of choices.

Change occurred. Actually, it was just an instant in the present world. Qin Guang King, Chu Jiang King, Song Emperor King, and Tai Shan King had just left the underworld—the Zi Wei star light illuminating the underworld was then like a sharp sword, stabbing into the middle of the underworld! The ancient starry dome forever illuminates the present world. The underworld opened by Di Zang is temporarily just a dry well in the present world. That “Venerable star of the Central Heaven, master of Doushu,” the Zi Wei Star, under the push of unfathomable great power, hung and shone in broad daylight, pouring down purple glory like light. The East Country Tian Zi, holding a halberd in one hand, fell from the sky, and the boundary of the underworld was thus stepped broken.

“Buddha! How can you grant titles like this? Do you know you have committed a taboo of the Emperor!?” He pressed the Fang Tian Ghost God Halberd onto Di Zang's shoulder, as if a single hair had fallen on the giant Buddha's body. But Di Zang's huge body actually suddenly sank—hua hua hua! Heavenly River water splashed! Every drop appeared vast, and every drop was very bitter.

Di Zang's Buddha eyes did not look at the East Country Tian Zi for the first time, but looked towards the distant coast of the East Country. With His current enormous size, the ten thousand li coastline was just a tiny horizontal line. But the human empire standing on the bank of the East Sea, even though it already actually included the East Sea, could not be ignored by Him. He always looked towards the East Country capital, towards the giant city of Linzi. He saw a male, with an abnormally young face, wearing a star chart Dao robe, standing on the top of a building that penetrated the cloud layer! Star light surrounded his entire body, and his ink hairpin was like a heavenly scar. He also saw a high platform woven with starlight, rising from the distant Linzi, seeming like an evil beast overlooking the East Sea.

This was the Wang Hai Terrace, personally designed and supervised by Ruan Qu, the Supervisor of the Qin Tian Jian of the Great Qi Empire! It was based on the one that should have originally appeared on the old site of the Ku Rong Courtyard, the one that had always only existed in court discussions and had never been truly completed. But the star power stored in the Stargazing Tower for a long time had already outlined it a thousand times over. This time was greatly different. The pounding star power truly embodied itself on the old site of the Ku Rong Courtyard, weaving into reality what many people thought only existed in the drawings and conceptions. And seeing it towering into the clouds, standing side by side with the Stargazing Tower to the east and west, facing the world, it was already the well-deserved first high platform in Linzi! An eastern building, a western terrace, the purple extreme of the heavens by day, stargazing and overlooking the sea. Inside Linzi city, the sound of hua was like boiling.

Too many people personally witnessed the birth of this scene, personally saw a majestic high platform woven with starlight piled up in shape. It was both a spectacular and strange scene, an extremely grand and magnificent idea. Those so-called divine traces were nothing more than this. It made people unable to help but sigh and discuss in a flurry. “A high platform rises under the blue sky and white sun, the Emperor of the hegemonic country overlooks the East Sea!” Some scholars with hot tears in their eyes raised their books like flags, walked through the noisy market and shouted loudly: “How magnificent is Great Qi!” The establishment of this Wang Hai Terrace marked Great Qi Empire's true inclusion of the near-sea islands as territory, the reception of the near sea as its sea border, and the viewing of the East Sea as its forbidden land!

The common people hotly praised! They praised the monarch who personally created the hegemony of the East Country, praised the unprecedented prosperous era. Of course, they did not know that their monarch was fighting in the distant East Sea while pouring out the power of the country. But their love and trust continuously provided power for the Great Qi Tian Zi.

Di Zang withdrew His gaze and looked at the East Country Tian Zi who had come prepared, His eyes even more compassionate: “I do not know where I have committed the taboo of the East Tian Zi? Please speak, I am willing to change for the monarch.” Equality King Yang Xuan Ce quietly sat in the Qi Fei Palace, sitting on the Yan Jun treasure seat, feeling the true god level power bestowed by the divine duty on his body... facing this scene and emotion, he was silent for a moment. Could it be that the great Buddha who spoke of a “eternal pure land” was so humble in front of the Qi Tian Zi? He quietly leaned back—this never-changing feeling of powerlessness!

Jiang Shu's eyes, of course, only held Di Zang, but it seemed that even Di Zang was not there, only His Buddha eyes were being scrutinized: “The Chu Emperor still cut the emperor title of Long Sheng Jun, how can the Emperor tolerate a Tian Zi in the underworld!?” Di Zang actually had some unspoken words in His heart... Leaving aside those layouts, the Chu Emperor cutting the emperor title of Long Sheng Jun was done with a just cause because Long Sheng Jun was in the Southern Domain, right beside his bed. You, the East Tian Zi, regard the entire You Ming Great World as your bedside? But after all, He is a Buddha, tolerant and compassionate, with a broad heart... of course, the Wang Hai Terrace is indeed also built very well.

“Before the East Country, how dare the underworld usurp?” Di Zang slowly said: “The Yan Luo have no Tian Zi, although they have the venerable position of a Yang God, they only dare to call themselves kings! I am willing to accept the East Country's conferment!”
