Capítulo 1448: Chapter 1446: The Great Wisdom Buddha’s Instigation

The opposing whirlwind is a unique kind of whirlwind within the samsara path, extremely dangerous, much like the Weak Water of the Weak Water River, a foreign object in the world!

Even for a Daluo Golden Immortal, facing this opposing whirlwind is an extremely dangerous matter!

However, today, Jiang Liu’s cultivation level has reached the quasi-saint level, he can be called a major force in this world!

Using his cultivation level to withstand the invading opposing whirlwinds, Jiang Liu unfolded the Map of Mountains and Rivers!

At a quasi-saint level, capturing these opposing whirlwinds, he quickly sealed several whirlwinds directly and enclosed them within the Map of Mountains and Rivers!

To the naked eye, the images in the Map of Mountains and Rivers had added several shapes of wind!

“Fortunately, it’s not so difficult! I can go back!” Estimated that he had almost captured enough opposing whirlwinds, Jiang Liu murmured to himself!

Immediately, he turned around and started flying back!

Strong!

At first, flying straight ahead didn’t feel like much!

But when Jiang Liu turned around to fly against the flow of the samsara passage, suddenly, he felt that the opposing whirlwinds within the samsara passage seemed to be enraged, becoming unprecedentedly violent!

Even though Jiang Liu used his quasi-saint level cultivation to resist, he felt like he was about to collapse, his defense on the verge of breaking!

“Going in the reverse direction, the terror of the opposing whirlwind is like a kitten suddenly turning into a fierce tiger!”

Feeling the unprecedented intensity of the oncoming opposing whirlwind, Jiang Liu’s heart sank slightly!

Could this be the will of heaven?

Is the samsara passage meant to prevent one from going in reverse?

“But, do these mere opposing whirlwinds think they can stop me?” After a silent moment, Jiang Liu’s heart stirred slightly, then he put away the Map of Mountains and Rivers!

At the same time, he raised his other hand, revealing the Tai Chi Diagram in his grasp!

The Tai Chi Diagram is an innate supreme treasure, not only enhancing defense and attack power but also having the hidden ability to stabilize wind, water, thunder, and lightning!

As the Tai Chi Diagram spread open, power infused into it, and instantly, an invisible ripple emerged centering around the Tai Chi Diagram, quickly spreading in all directions!

Swept by this invisible ripple, those overwhelmingly violent opposing whirlwinds immediately calmed down like obedient children!

“At the beginning of heaven and earth, being able to stabilize the wind, water, thunder, and lightning between heaven and earth, with the power of the Tai Chi Diagram, stabilizing these mere opposing whirlwinds is naturally no problem!”

Seeing the opposing whirlwinds before him have all been stabilized, the corners of Jiang Liu’s mouth raised slightly!

With the power of the Tai Chi Diagram stabilizing these opposing whirlwinds, Jiang Liu naturally faced no danger, directly soaring upwards against the current!

He passed through the samsara passage and directly leapt out of it!

“The Merit Buddha is indeed extraordinary! You’re the first to safely return from the samsara passage!”

At the entrance of the samsara passage, the Chakravartin and others were waiting anxiously!

Seeing Jiang Liu finally returned safely, they breathed a sigh of relief, and then the Chakravartin praised Jiang Liu.

“Amitabha, thank you, Chakravartin!” Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu did not display any pride but merely uttered a Buddhist chant calmly and thanked Chakravartin with a nod.

After speaking, Jiang Liu didn’t linger and directly left the Underworld, heading toward the mortal world!

At this moment, Jiang Liu felt a sigh within his heart!

The divine skill of the Great Wisdom Buddha is indeed powerful, but requires opposing whirlwinds as a medium?

This divine skill is almost useless!

As a quasi-saint, he relied on the characteristics of the Tai Chi Diagram that just happened to counteract the opposing whirlwinds to return so easily!

If it were anyone else, even a quasi-saint, a moment’s carelessness could still result in being caught in reincarnation!

After leaving the Netherworld, Jiang Liu naturally returned once more to the Taoist arena of the Great Wisdom Buddha!

“Great Wisdom Buddha, the opposing whirlwinds you tasked me to find, I have successfully retrieved them!”

Upon meeting the Great Wisdom Buddha, Jiang Liu didn’t hesitate to speak directly.

“Amitabha, the Merit Buddha indeed possesses unrivaled divine skills!” Hearing that Jiang Liu had indeed found the opposing whirlwinds so quickly, the Great Wisdom Buddha couldn’t conceal a hint of surprise, and continued to speak.

Although the Great Wisdom Buddha could guess that with the Merit Buddha’s abilities and his current status as a man of destiny, obtaining the opposing whirlwinds should be no problem!

However, the Great Wisdom Buddha didn’t expect him to succeed so quickly!

“How about it? Shall we go to Langya Town now?” The sooner the task is completed, the more experience points he would gain, so naturally, Jiang Liu was eager to complete the task swiftly!

“Alright, without delay, shall we depart now?” Hearing Jiang Liu’s words, the Great Wisdom Buddha didn’t intend to delay, nodded and said!

Immediately, Jiang Liu and the Great Wisdom Buddha’s figures moved like lightning, heading towards Langya Town!

“Gongde Buddha’s cultivation level, in the Buddhist Sect now, only my Buddha Tathagata can surpass you by a margin, right?”

Flying side by side with Jiang Liu, midway, Great Wisdom Buddha suddenly spoke, expressing his feelings.

“This disciple dares not compare with the Buddha!” Jiang Liu, not knowing what Great Wisdom Buddha’s words truly meant, displayed a frightened demeanor and spoke!

“It matters not, there are only the two of us here now, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know, it’s nothing more than that. Miss today, and even if you tell these words to others, I will deny it!”

Seeing Jiang Liu’s fearful appearance, Great Wisdom Buddha shook his head and said.

With those words, he paused slightly, his expression becoming much more solemn, and said: “I know, the Buddha promised you that after the success of the Journey to the West for Scriptures, he would seal you as a King Buddha!”

“However, with your current cultivation level, many voices within the Buddhist Sect say you are well enough to replace Maitreya Buddha’s position!”

Hearing Great Wisdom Buddha’s words, Jiang Liu remained silent, neither showing a happy expression nor a fearful one!

He merely seriously watched Great Wisdom Buddha, waiting for him to continue speaking!

Glancing at Jiang Liu, Great Wisdom Buddha continued: “Gongde Buddha, have you ever thought about it? Your existence now has already threatened Tathagata Buddha’s status! Once the great task of the Journey to the West for Scriptures is over, your usefulness will be exhausted!”

“Perhaps, Tathagata Buddha will make a move against you, have you considered this question?”

“I have not thought about it!” Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu decisively shook his head and answered!

Indeed, Jiang Liu himself was harboring thoughts of overturning the skies and Immortals once he reached the Great Thunder Monastery, and had naturally never considered the issue of Tathagata Buddha making a move against him afterward!

“Gongde Buddha, this matter, you should carefully think about it!” Casting a deep glance at Jiang Liu, Great Wisdom Buddha said.

After saying this, Great Wisdom Buddha fell silent, not voicing anything further!

However, from his recent speech, Jiang Liu understood. It seems that Great Wisdom Buddha and Tathagata Buddha are quite incompatible, secretly sowing discord between himself and Tathagata Buddha!

After all, who in this world does not believe that he is the reincarnation of Golden Cicada? Essentially, he’s the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha!

Nonetheless, after pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu found it reasonable!

Precisely because Great Wisdom Buddha and Tathagata Buddha are incompatible, Tathagata Buddha assigned Great Wisdom Buddha to orchestrate this calamity!

Though he was promised the status of King Buddha, as nothing more than an empty gesture!

But, if Great Wisdom Buddha is killed by himself, then this empty promise certainly need not be fulfilled!

Whatever thoughts Jiang Liu harbored, the two Buddhas moved, soon landing on the side of Langya Town!

Afterward, Jiang Liu took out the Reversing Whirlwind from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and handed it to Great Wisdom Buddha!

With a solemn demeanor, Great Wisdom Buddha extended both hands, receiving Jiang Liu’s Reversing Whirlwind!

Then, he muttered incomprehensible incantations in a low voice!

Reversing Whirlwind flew out from Great Wisdom Buddha’s palm, spreading rapidly in the air, and disappeared!

As Reversing Whirlwind vanished, it seemed to create a Reincarnation Passage through which Flood Dragon Demon King’s form was completely absorbed!

Visibly, the Flood Dragon Demon King was still there!

Yet, reaching out to touch, the palms merely passed through his body, as if he were a phantom!

Jiang Liu naturally saw that the space the Flood Dragon Demon King occupied existed independently of the Mortal World’s space!

Thus, appearing the situation where they reached out to touch, yet penetrated through the Flood Dragon Demon King!

After all, the Flood Dragon Demon King’s true form seemingly was not present before them!

“Alright, my Kalou Realm divine skill is completed!” As the divine spells were cast, Great Wisdom Buddha looked much more weakened, spoke to Jiang Liu.

“Thank you Great Wisdom Buddha for your assistance!”

With Kalou Realm divine skills established, Jiang Liu and others indeed felt the scorching aura previously emitted by Flood Dragon Demon King rapidly dispersing, as Langya Town’s temperature swiftly descended!

“Gongde Buddha need not thank, being able to assist, to help so many people, is a matter I am willing to do!”

Good words cost nothing, and Great Wisdom Buddha naturally expressed them.

Having left such words, what Great Wisdom Buddha’s tasks concluded.

After having some brief conversations with Jiang Liu and Sun Wukong, Great Wisdom Buddha took his leave!

“Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master Xuanzang!” After Great Wisdom Buddha departed, the remaining townsfolk of Langya Town naturally were deeply grateful to Jiang Liu, each kneeling down in reverent worship!

“Hint: Task ‘Langya Town Turmoil’ completed, gained Experience Points 32 billion, obtained Epic Level Treasure Chest *1!”

As Great Wisdom King Buddha departed, the mission at Langya Town was considered complete, and the system’s prompting sounded in Jiang Liu’s mind!
