#264 - Chapter 264: Inevitable
The next day.
Ye Kong went to the edge of the Bitter Sea and took up his fishing rod to fish.
Yesterday's events were as if nothing had happened to him.
The Saha Pure Land had already turned into nothingness, even if the Buddha returned, it would only be him returning alone.
Not long after he sat down, the Earth Mother came from Peach Mountain.
"What was the golden light that erupted from the Saha Pure Land last night?" the Earth Mother asked.
"Just a group of physical bodies struggling before their death," Ye Kong said indifferently.
The Earth Mother couldn't help but pause upon hearing this, and asked uneasily, "You didn't... go and destroy their physical bodies, did you?"
"Yes," Ye Kong nodded.
The Earth Mother was a little surprised and asked, puzzled, "Why destroy them for no reason?"
"Dust to dust, earth to earth, since they have already been annihilated, why revive them?" Ye Kong murmured.
Hearing this, the Earth Mother had a guess in her mind and looked at Ye Kong and asked:
"Buddha, isn't dead?"
Ye Kong pulled the fishing hook, but did not answer.
But the Earth Mother probably guessed from Ye Kong's expression that the Buddha was very likely not dead.
Otherwise, Ye Kong would not have gone all the way to kill the physical bodies.
"Ye Kong, how did you know?" the Earth Mother asked, squatting beside him.
Ye Kong glanced at her and said unhappily, "If you had slept a few days less, I wouldn't have had to run to ask the Divine Turtle."
"I destroyed the physical bodies, first because it was the Divine Turtle's request, and second because I took in Ye Wuxin and became involved in the karma of Buddhism, so I have to cut off these karmic ties."
The Earth Mother understood everything immediately after hearing Ye Kong's words.
If the Buddha returns, then no one in the entire cultivation world can restrain him.
The Earth Mother didn't need to think about what the Buddhist sect without restraint would become.
At that time, the entire cultivation world would become the Buddhist world.
That's why the Divine Turtle asked Ye Kong to take action.
Similarly, if the Buddha comes back and sees his Buddhist son being taken away by Ye Kong, will he spare Ye Kong?
This is inherently standing on opposite sides, and it is unavoidable.
"If only I had gone with you last night," the Earth Mother muttered.
Last night, she sensed Ye Kong going out, but she didn't know where Ye Kong was going, so she didn't follow, after all, she was afraid of being unsafe at night.
Then she saw a brilliant golden light erupting from the Saha Pure Land, guessing that Ye Kong might have gone to the Saha Pure Land.
So he came to ask early in the morning.
"Although you have destroyed the golden bodies of those physical body Buddhas, the real Buddha will still return. With his strength, he can recreate the Buddhist sect. Ye Kong, you are in danger," the Earth Mother reminded.
Ye Kong couldn't help but smile upon hearing this, and said, "Danger? It's not like I can't beat him."
If Ye Kong has enough spiritual power, even gods and Buddhas will be beaten.
The Earth Mother looked at Ye Kong's confident look, and couldn't help but think of Ye Kong's terrifying strength.
That's right, it's not certain who will deal with whom when the Buddha comes.
"You've been to the Forbidden Sea in the east, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land in the south, and the Saha Pure Land. When are you going to the Northern Demon Origin Forbidden Land?" the Earth Mother asked curiously.
Ye Kong glanced at the Earth Mother and said unhappily, "Why should I run around? Am I too full?"
Going to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land was to eat meat, going to the Saha Pure Land was to take in disciples, and going there a second time was to destroy the physical bodies.
The Forbidden Sea in the east was just to take a look and catch some seafood by the way.
What are you going to do in the Northern Demon Origin Forbidden Land?
Ye Kong didn't want to cause himself a bunch of trouble.
Seeing that Ye Kong was not very interested, the Earth Mother bewitched Ye Kong for a while, sometimes saying that there was good food there, and sometimes saying that there were fun things there.
Ye Kong was unmoved.
Seeing that Ye Kong was really not interested, the Earth Mother had no choice but to leave helplessly.
Ye Kong sat by the Bitter Sea, quietly looking at the sea.
On the sea, the Buddha's reflection appeared.
"Heh, are you still coming?" Ye Kong snorted coldly, looking at the reflection in the water.
"Amitabha," the Great Buddha first recited a Buddhist chant, and then said, "Since it is involved in karma, it is unavoidable."
"Tell me, where are you?" Ye Kong asked softly.
I'll come and see you with a knife right away!
The Great Buddha opened his eyes, and a golden light burst out from his eyes, directly enveloping Ye Kong, pulling Ye Kong into the world where he was.
In the blink of an eye,
Ye Kong came to a magnificent place, full of Buddhas.
It was golden and glittering everywhere, peaceful, and all the Buddhas had shallow smiles on their faces, very kind.
Some people were teaching young monks, some were sitting under the Bodhi tree meditating, and some were worshiping the Buddha.
This seems to be the Saha Pure Land.
"This is the Saha Pure Land, and the Buddhas here are all from the Buddhas of the Land of Ultimate Bliss!" the Great Buddha said to Ye Kong.
"So, when the cultivation world was in danger, you let them abandon their physical bodies and come with you to this virtual world?" Ye Kong asked, looking at the Great Buddha.
"No, I just took them into the World of No Form to meditate, waiting for the day to return."
"We are not running away, but are trapped in the realm of emptiness," the Great Buddha shook his head and said.
Ye Kong looked contemptuous, running away is running away, and he said it so confidently.
"What's going on with the blood on the ground in the Land of Ultimate Bliss?" Ye Kong couldn't help but ask.
The Great Buddha did not answer directly upon hearing this, but said, "Now that you have destroyed their physical bodies, how will you compensate?"
"Doesn't your Buddhist sect advocate leaving the mortal womb and ascending to the Land of Ultimate Bliss early? Since you have all ascended to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, what do you need the physical body for?"
"I kindly helped you bury them, so that your dust returns to dust and your earth returns to earth, but not only did you not thank us, but you also came to me?" Ye Kong said directly, leaving the Great Buddha speechless.
The surrounding Buddhas instantly surrounded him, each looking at Ye Kong with piercing eyes, but the seats behind them had already taken out their weapons.
"The physical body is the foundation of a person. If you obliterate our physical bodies, you are obliterating our foundation," the Great Buddha said.
"Hehe!" Ye Kong sneered twice.
"Hand over the Buddhist son, and I can let you go back, otherwise your will will die here, your spirit will be severely damaged, and the real you will become an idiot!" The Great Buddha threatened directly.
"What about you dying here?" Ye Kong asked.
The Great Buddha couldn't help but be stunned, and then said, "This is just a projection, even if you scatter us, we will not be affected!"
"Is that so?" Ye Kong said, taking out his fishing rod.
His strongest weapon is still the fishing rod, the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd is just a tool for him to eat meat.
Seeing that Ye Kong was unmoved, the Great Buddha immediately took out a golden bowl and placed it upside down on Ye Kong's head.
"Amitabha, since the benefactor does not listen to advice, then don't blame us for taking action!"
After the Great Buddha finished speaking, a golden light spread, suppressing Ye Kong.
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas surrounding Ye Kong took out daggers one after another.
The Vajra Wrathful One was even more full of blood, holding a big knife, and had been waiting for a long time.
Ye Kong held the fishing rod in one hand and turned it, and the fishing rod instantly turned into a long sword.
The battle is about to break out.
