Morality deeply rooted in the Western paradise of Morpheus is boundless.
The fragrance of jasmine and the grace of lotus bloom, stand unworried by the river's side, untouched by rain.
The Bodhisattva of Moli Putian manifests in two forms: below is a maiden figure, and above is a woman in white, appearing extremely serene.
Chen Yun's face suddenly changed greatly.
Nezha, Li Jing, and Guan Ping all showed fearful expressions.
The animal immortals like the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, Niu Dali, Jiao Tao Ren, and others were overwhelmed as if bearing a thousand pounds of burden on their bodies, struggling to breathe.
The teachers like Hei MaMa, Qi Shou Tian Nv, Hu San Tai Ye, and Huang Er Da Ye, also felt the unbeatable majesty emanating from Moli Putian Bodhisattva's golden light and were unable to move.
The Bodhisattva of Moli Putian, manifesting as a maiden, slowly spoke, "Well said, well said, Chen Pu. I have come for you."
What?
Amazing, it really seems to be aimed at me?
Chen Yun's face turned grave, he summoned all his power to withstand the immense pressure, bowing and saying, "Bodhisattva, I have never met you before. Why would you say that you have come for me?"
The maiden form smiled beautifully like a blooming flower, "You have a karmic connection with Buddhism and are destined to become Buddha. Therefore, I have come specially to save you."
"Is there a karmic connection between Buddhism and me?"
Chen Yun completely disbelieved the other party's words.
He knew that the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian coming to find him must have some ulterior motive, not just some supposed karmic connection.
Chen Yun took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Bodhisattva, Pu has always lived in the mountain of Chong Nan and practiced in the Concentration Cave of Yinyang. I have been taught by Zhengyang Zenren as my teacher. I learn to respect teachers and the Dao. Please forgive me, I really don't know anything about divination."
The maiden form did not become angry, but simply smiled and said, "This is not up to you. Today, whether you follow me or not, you must go."
Chen Yun was about to say more.
Suddenly, Li Jing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am Li Jing, the King of Vaisravana, and I have the honor to meet the Bodhisattva."
The maiden form turned her head, "What is the advice of King Li?"
Li Jing, being well-versed in human nature and diplomacy, smiled warmly and said, "Master Chen may indeed have a karmic connection with Buddhism. However, he currently has a teacher and a spiritual lineage. If the Bodhisattva wishes to recruit him into our Buddhist fold, why not first inquire whether Master Zhengyang would permit it? If Master Zhengyang allows it, then we can bring Master Chen into Buddhism later. What do you think?"
Master Chen naturally understands that Li Jing is using this as a temporary delaying tactic on behalf of himself.
As the saying goes, good men don't eat current losses, and everyone knows that Bodhisattva Moli Putian possesses boundless powers and is close to reaching the level of great Buddha. Master Chen Yun, Nezha, Li Jing, and Niu Dali among those present combined are not even as powerful as a single finger of the Bodhisattva. Why risk losing their lives?
The maiden form did not treat Li Jing with the same leniency as she did Chen Yun.
She slightly narrowed her eyes and chided, "What business is it of yours?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Li Jing seemed to have been hit by a colossal force, his armor suddenly exploded into pieces, a droplet of blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth, and he turned into a disheveled and wild appearance instantly.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yun was greatly shocked. Li Jing was the King of Vaisravana, at least a late-stage immortal cultivator. How could he not withstand even a glance from the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian?
He could see that the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian had shown mercy, otherwise, Li Jing would have been annihilated at this moment!
At this moment, Chen Yun finally understood how powerful the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian was. It was no wonder that he was later incorporated into the Daoist pantheon as the supreme goddess of war and childbirth.
Although Li Jing had been dealt a heavy blow and his face was beet red, he did not give up on persuading, but instead raised the small and delicate Jade-like Treasure Dazu's Elegant Golden Pagoda in his hand.
The Golden Pagoda, once raised, ascended to the sky and immediately rippled with boundless Buddhist light.
Within each of the nine layers of the pagoda, a Buddha slowly opened their eyes.
A radiance rippled out, enveloping Li Jing, Chen Yun, Nezha, the nine-headed bull demon king, and everyone else present.
At this moment, Li Jing felt confident that he had a foolproof plan and dared to speak his next words, "Bodhisattva, I am also a Buddhist. Why is it unrelated to me?"
"Oh?" The maiden form smiled lightly, "By raising the pagoda given by Siddhartha Gautama, do you wish to challenge me to a battle?"
Li Jing's tone was still polite, "Daoren, I am not."
Although he said so, his Golden Pagoda did not return to his possession.
The maiden form paid no attention to Li Jing's response and simply nodded slightly, "As the King of Vaisravana, you truly do not know the extent of my abilities. Well, today I shall show you so that you do not inadvertently provoke me again."
As she said this, her tone slowed down, but the pressure she gave off was even greater. "What you rely on is nothing more than the Jade-like Treasure Pagoda given by Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. If it were to... not be useful..."
Her words were followed by no apparent movement, but the nine Buddhas atop the Golden Pagoda instantly extinguished!
Instantly, the Buddhist radiance from the Golden Pagoda vanished without a trace, and it fell to the ground like an ornamental item, making no further movement.
Li Jing was greatly shocked.
Nezha was trembling slightly with his hands.
The Black Mother, the Sky Maiden with a Wonderful Head, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, and everyone else present were all so shocked that their faces paled.
Chen Yun was no exception, and he was also shocked to the extreme inside.
He was all too aware of the "tower tip law".
He knew the power of Li Jing's Jade-like Treasure Pagoda with the three blessings and wonders.
That was the sort of power that could even subdue Nezha who can turn into Mount Jueming.
Now it was like a toy in the presence of the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian.
The maiden form once again looked at Li Jing, smiling, and asked softly, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Li Jing sighed and bowed, "I have no more words to say."
Chen Yun understood that Li Jing had done his best.
After all, even the most powerful Golden Pagoda in front of the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian was rendered useless. What could he say?
It's likely that if Li Jing dared to say another word, he would perish instantly.
Chen Yun sent a grateful look.
Then he turned his gaze back to the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian.
He was preparing to stall for time, hoping to come up with a way to escape.
Unexpectedly, Nezha spoke up suddenly, "Bodhisattva, I know you have boundless power. Why don't we have a bet? If I win, you let us go. If I lose, you take Brother Chen with you, and I promise not to interfere."
The Bodhisattva of Moli Putian seemed to have plenty of time on her hands.
The maiden form, with interest, asked, "Oh, what kind of bet do you wish to have with me?"
Chen Yun, Li Jing, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, and others were all puzzled and looked towards Nezha's face.
Nezha looked calm and said, "I know that a battle of law cannot defeat the Bodhisattva. Therefore, I will not engage in this battle of law. What I wish to bet is that if the Bodhisattva can catch me, then you have won the game. How does that sound?"
The white-clothed woman who had not spoken until now suddenly said, "Well, go ahead and use your methods. It doesn't even have to be about catching me; as long as you can escape from my grasp, the bet is yours."
After saying that, the white-clothed maiden extended her left hand.
Chen Yun fixed his gaze on the empty right hand of the white-clothed maiden, eager to see any trick or mystery.
What can be seen is that the five fingers of this hand are like onions, soft and touch like jade, and white as snow. It's hard to tell if there are any secrets.
Nezha carefully inspected it for a while, also feeling that there was nothing wrong with it, so he said, "Alright, then please teach me."
The white-clothed maiden nodded slightly, without speaking, and with a flip of her hand, she enveloped Nezha's entire body into the palm of her hand.
At this moment, the white-clothed maiden nodded slowly and said, "As long as you can escape from my palm, I will immediately let you leave."
Nezha laughed and said, "Bodhisattva, please watch my power!"
Nezha trembled all over and instantly transformed into a gigantic body, resembling Mount Sumeru in size. He had ten faces with ten eyes moving, with formless spiritual light blocking the sun. He had a thousand arms, with extraordinary forms and expressions of smiling faces. In his hands, he held the sun and moon and various staffs, all adorned with precious gems.
From Nezha's perspective, his huge body was almost comparable to the great universe, truly awe-inspiring.
Once Nezha had manifested his large form, he shook off his divine might and leapt high, shouting, "I go now!"
His body transformed into a glow of lily light, disappearing without a trace.
The Bodhisattva of Moli Putian, with her sharp eyes, watched as the third prince transformed into a glow of lotus light, disappearing without a trace. She understood that he had used his vast universe-spanning body to break through time and space in order to escape her grasp.
The white-clothed maiden remained unmoved, merely observing Nezha's actions silently.
After a moment or so, Nezha arrived in a place of emptiness, where only the swirling chaos energy could be seen.
Nezha secretly thought, "Since I have come to the chaos, I must have escaped her grasp. When I return, I will tell her that in this bet, I have won."
The third prince was about to return.
Suddenly, a face of the white-clothed maiden appeared in front of him, as immense as ever, it was the manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian!
She laughed lightly, "You, the third prince, I should have thought your powers would be greater. However, it seems they are just so-so. Alright then, today I will give you a taste of what it means not to overstep your bounds!"
Hearing this, Nezha was so shocked that he almost fainted.
He couldn't believe that even by manifesting his great body and traversing through time and space, he could not escape the grasp of the manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian!
He had no time to react before he saw the entire world seem to be cracking apart.
Regardless of the "Chaos," "Hongmeng," or any material in the world, all were drawn together by a tremendous force into a gigantic whirlpool, enveloping Nezha within it.
Nezha felt disoriented, as if the world was spinning around him.
In the next moment, a loud splash could be heard, and he landed heavily, feeling dizzy and confused.
Nezha opened his eyes and realized he had fallen to the ground in front of Chen Yun, Li Jing, and others at some point.
Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but draw a sharp breath once more, finally understanding the boundless power of the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian.
Chen Yun, Li Jing, and the other people had been watching all along.
They saw things very differently from Nezha.
Nezha, who had been taken into the palm of the manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian, did indeed transform into the size of Mount Sumeru.
There is no problem with that.
The problem was that the hand of the white-clothed maiden, in an instant when Nezha manifested his large form, bloomed and fell, as if all realms and worlds were continuously born and extinguished within her palm.
In Buddhism, there is a saying that "even a single grain of sand is a world."
Since Chen Yun had cultivated to the rank of the earth immortal, he also had the ability to create small worlds. He had never taken this saying seriously, thinking that creating small worlds was nothing big. However, after seeing the method by which Moli Putian Buddha subdued Nezha today, he finally knew what it meant to have true "a sand grain is a world."
In the palm of the Bodhisattva of Moli Putian, it was not small worlds that were born and extinguished, but rather the realms and worlds they were in!
Chen Yun was greatly shaken; the level of half-step Great Holy is too terrifying.
He couldn't imagine just how profound Moli Putian Buddha truly was, but he knew that he couldn't withstand it.
No, it's not just that he can't withstand it.
In the presence of Moli Putian Buddha, he felt like a grain of sand compared to a star.
It's like he is just a tiny, insignificant sand grain on the earth.
And Moli Putian Buddha was the most brilliant and magnificent super blue giant in the universe!
That sense of minuteness left him in awe.
After tidying up Nezha, the manifestation of Moli Putian Buddha closed his eyes again.
The maiden form's gaze remained calm as she looked towards the people present, "Who else among you dares to hinder me?"
Li Jing and Nezha had both been easily defeated.
Who would dare to face the majesty of Moli Putian Buddha?
The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King slowly lowered his head, as if using this gesture to show submission.
The Northeastern Immortals such as Black Mom, Qishou Tiannv, and Hu Sandaitai, one by one, sighed heavily and no one dared to say another word.
Although the Bull Strength, Jiao Daofu, Mei Junyan, and others showed anger on their faces, they dared not speak out.
Moli Putian Buddha was like a mountain, pressing down on everyone present and causing them to bow in submission.
Unlike everyone else, Chen Yun was deeply impressed by the boundless power of Moli Putian Buddha, but he sat straight on the Demon Lord's Unicorn, maintaining his posture.
He looked calmly at the other side, holding the Hao Tian Sword in his hand, and said, "Bodhisattva, if you want to take me away, you should also ask for my consent. To force someone to do something against their will is a principle that cannot be justified."
Nezha, Li Jing, and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King seemed rather surprised.
They really didn't expect that Chen Yun, after witnessing Moli Putian Buddha's boundless power, would dare not "submit."
To be honest, while they thought Chen Yun's move was a self-destructive path, they deeply admired his courage and unyielding spirit in the face of such powerful beings.
The maiden form has always been very amicable towards Chen Yun, smiling and nodding, "I know you have pride in your bones, but do you not admire our Buddhism's great dharma? Just take the method I used to subdue the Third Prince as an example, would you really not want to learn it? I can guarantee to you that if you are willing to join my Buddhism, I will certainly impart all my great dharma to you, Chen Pu. What do you think?"
Chen Yun's gaze was firm and unwavering as he said, "As the paths are different, one does not strive for common goals. I practice Daoist Internal Strengthening Technique and have no interest in Buddhist great dharma for the time being. If and when I gain interest in the future, I will head to the Western Paradise to seek enlightenment from a Bodhisattva."
The maiden form sighed, "I knew you would say that. Alright, I will have to force you then."
She didn't give Chen Yun a chance to respond. With a finger snap, a golden ray of light shot out from her fingertips.
In the next moment, the golden light transformed into a golden bowl, which covered the sky, the moon, and the stars. It was then turned upside down towards Chen Yun!
Li Jing, Nezha, and the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King all looked disheartened and their gazes were dim.
Black Mom, Qishou Tiannv, and Hu Sandaitai, among others, laughed bitterly, knowing that Chen Yun would definitely be captured.
Bull Strength, Jiao Daofu, Mei Junyan, and other disciples all couldn't help but feel enraged, but dared not move.
As the golden bowl was about to engulf Chen Yun's body.
Suddenly!
Suddenly, a bright golden light shone forth from the Hao Tian Sword!
