Chapter 228 [I'll just take a sip] A world of sand, a paradise of grass. Life is the greatest miracle in the universe. As long as it is a living thing, there is the essence of life in its body. It’s just that there are more powerful people and fewer ordinary people. When the cultivation reaches a certain level, the life essence in the body accumulates to an extreme, the quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and a higher level of life essence - the immortal essence of immortality is derived. This is the key to living your second life. The Supreme of the Forbidden Zone has not comprehended the ultimate meaning of the essence of life, and cannot live into the next life. He can only bloodbath the universe, hunt all living things, engage in primitive eating, and prolong his life with the primary essence of life. “The essence of life is the manifestation of blood, and the power of faith is the manifestation of spirit.” "One is physical, the other is spiritual; one is active, the other is passive; one is violent, the other is gentle." "This is the biggest difference between the Great Emperor Amitabha and the Forbidden Zone Supreme. They regard all living beings as equals, not ants, and complement each other. They will give back to all living beings and believers, and they know how to make steady progress. They have been doing this for more than 300,000 years." Lin Xian secretly sighed, thinking that if he founded the Supreme Heaven and conquered all the kings in the world in the future, he must learn the Buddhist way of fighting.
Blood cannot be collected unilaterally. It is not advisable to drain the pond like the Dark Supreme does. If you cut the leeks once, hundreds of thousands of major clans in the universe and countless vast galaxies will need tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 years to recover their blood. We need to give appropriate rewards to the kings and let them live longer so that there will be a constant supply of precious blood. The most important thing is to set KPI assessment and designate blood donation quotas. The most active people can be rewarded with the elixir of immortality fruit and live a second life. Just like the great Buddha Amitabha left behind his relics and appeared before people from time to time, it is necessary to save people from suffering every once in a while so that sentient beings will know the benefits of Buddhism and their faith will become more devout. If one is as selfless and dedicated as the Taiyin Human Emperor and the Sun Holy Emperor, without making any choices and making too many sacrifices, the light of justice will eventually be drowned out by greedy human nature. There are only two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly: one is the sun, and the other is the human heart, which are magnificent and majestic, and mysterious and deep. While thinking, Lin Xian finally arrived at the foot of Mount Xumi. The foot of the mountain was surrounded by water, endless and with no end in sight, like a vast ocean. Countless herdsmen, believers, and even Buddhists, like the forest immortals, came here on foot. After excitedly paying homage to Mount Sumeru, they bowed their heads devoutly and drank the pool water. It is recorded in Buddhist scriptures that there is a Seven Treasures Pond in the Western Paradise, which was created by the power of Amitabha Buddha's vows. There are eight kinds of water in the pond, which is extremely mysterious. It is called the Eight Calm Waters and has eight special qualities, namely: clear, cool, sweet, light, soft, moist, peaceful, able to eliminate hunger and thirst, and nourish the senses. Therefore, this pool is also known as the Eight Treasures Merit Pool! Countless exhausted and ragged believers came to the pool, scooped up the water with their hands, and took a sip. In an instant, all their fatigue disappeared, and the scars on their bodies disappeared. The festering flesh healed at this moment, as if they were reborn. Stay away from filth, purify the body, cleanse the mind, grow and nourish the six senses, and stay away from illness and pain. This is a first-class holy object in the world! The Buddhist disciples who came for pilgrimage, after drinking the water from the Merit Pool, were bathed in light, as if they had been cast into golden bodies. Their Buddha nature grew incomparably. Some of those with extraordinary talents even achieved great enlightenment and broke through on the spot. They were noticed by the Bodhisattvas and ancient Buddhas on Mount Sumeru, and then they turned into a rainbow light and were led to Mount Sumeru. “Instantly attain Buddhahood!” When many believers saw this scene, they couldn't help but exclaimed, and then bowed down in worship, becoming more and more pious. "Water from the Eight Treasures Merit Pond..." Instantly, Lin Xian's eyes lit up, almost green. The Western Desert was extraordinary, with all the temples worshipping Amitabha Buddha. Mount Xumi was the highest holy place, comparable to the forbidden area. There was a sacred spring in the forbidden area, and a merit pool under Mount Xumi. Although the effect was not as good as the sacred spring water, it was in large quantity. This was not a pool at all, but a sea of merit. "Amitabha, I am also a Buddhist monk, Maitreya, I will just take a sip, just a small sip." Lin Xian put his hands together with an extremely pious look, and bowed three times in the direction of Mount Xumi. He had a solemn appearance and a deep Buddha nature, and every move he made was drawing the power of faith.
Such a strange phenomenon instantly attracted the attention of many Bodhisattvas and ancient Buddhas on Mount Sumeru. One of the great bodhisattvas nodded and said, "This is a good seedling with the potential to become a Buddha." "Good, good." An ancient Buddha sitting on a lotus platform nodded and said, "Wait until he finishes drinking the water of merit and purifies his earthly aura, then we will lead him up the mountain." Lin Xian leaned forward and took a deep breath. The rolling water from the pool of merit flowed back into his stomach. In an instant, infinite Buddha light bloomed, and faint Sanskrit sounds rang out. A green lotus mark appeared between his eyebrows. The prediction given by the Tathagata Zhending is not just talk, it has been decided that even if Lin Xian dies, he will attain enlightenment and become a Buddha in some future life. The water in the Merit Pool resonates with the mark between the eyebrows, like the eight sounds of heavenly dragons and the congratulations of heavenly beings. Golden flowers fall, as if to forge an unparalleled golden body and attain Buddhahood on the spot. The Buddhas on Mount Xumi were moved. The ancient Buddha sitting on the lotus was grinning from ear to ear. He put his hands together and said, "Well done, well done. The Fighting and Victory Buddha is in seclusion and has no time to care about anything else. I can only let you accept this Buddha's son." Other Bodhisattvas and Buddhas also congratulated him in unison. It looked like the Buddhist disciple down the mountain was destined to become a saint, and maybe even a great saint in the future. "Hey……" Suddenly, a Bodhisattva with a Moonlight Wheel behind him cried out in surprise, looked at the water in the Merit Pond, and murmured, "Why is the Buddha still drinking it? The power of his vows is pouring back into it." "Being able to eat is a blessing." The ancient Buddha who presided over Mount Xumi disagreed. No matter how much a Buddhist could eat, it was not surprising that he could not eat more than the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. If you drink more water of merit now to add some foundation, you may have the hope of becoming a true Buddha in the future and entering the realm of quasi-emperor. The Fighting Buddha was in seclusion, and Mount Xumi was headed by this ancient Buddha. The other Bodhisattvas had nothing to say and just waited patiently. After Lin Xian swallowed ten thousand kilograms of water from the Merit Pool, his whole body was bathed in golden light and enveloped in a peaceful atmosphere. All his past injuries, obstacles, and mental demons were healed at this moment. His body was like colored glaze, clear inside and out. At this moment, his foundation was so solid that he even felt that he could attract thunder tribulations and survive several great dragon tribulations. "Good things, once missed, will never come back..." Lin Xian had an idea and opened his own secret realm of Wheel Sea. Ten thousand kilograms of Merit Water was more than enough to supply a dragon-transforming cultivator, but it was just a drop in the bucket for the immortal elixir. Moreover, there is more than one immortal medicine in Lin Xian's wheel sea. In the past, he relied on the sacred spring in the ancient forbidden land for support and lived frugally. Now that the water from the Merit Pond has been drawn in, it is like a long-awaited rain after a long drought. The immortal medicine plants drink the water madly, and a rain of merit and virtue begins to fall in the secret realm. "Ancient... Ancient Buddha, the water level in the Merit Pond has dropped by three feet, three inches and three points!!!" The Bodhisattva of Mount Xumi, who was in charge of guiding the disciples, exclaimed and stared at Lin Xian's belly, wanting to see clearly what kind of belly could hold so much. (End of this chapter)
