A dragon and a tiger now reside at Lock Dragon Cave, where the Yellow Dragon teaches the tiger to read sutras. When the Yellow Dragon sage is overrun by evil thoughts, the tiger recites the Dharma Flower Sutra nearby, keeping their teacher alert.
Recalling the words of the Supreme Elder Laojun, the Yellow Dragon realized that he indeed possessed a bit of Buddhist nature. Especially after absorbing that portion of evil thoughts, he seemed to see a whole new realm. Was there still a chance for him to renounce his weapons and become a Buddha on the spot?
The Primordial Supreme Sovereign's attitude towards him goes without saying. He has no psychological barriers to giving up Daoism and joining Buddhism. However, now is definitely not the right time. The Primordial Supreme Sovereign has already sent Compassion and Gu Liusan to Buddhism, and Wen Shu and Puxian clearly have intentions to join Buddhism. Will he add one more? He's afraid the Primordial Supreme Sovereign will take out his dragon tendons.
The Great Emperor Laojun is only responsible for coming up with ideas and will never help him plead for forgiveness with the Primordial Sovereign. The specifics of transforming from a dragon to a Buddha still need to be planned by him himself.
Qilin Cliff.
Deng ChanYu was idly staring with her chin in her hands in the "small room" of a few square meters at the beginning of the Qilin Cliff. The family of three—beginning Qilin, the Faint Dragon, and the celestial Qilin named "A Tian"—had been arguing for a long time.
She actually wanted to leave as soon as possible, retrieve the divided Treasure Summit, and return to the Wutai Palace.
But the beginning of Qilin put forward another transaction, as long as next Deng ChanYu helps himself again, will tell her the staff head downfall.
The Phoenix staff was divided into three parts, with half of the staff body in her hand and the other half and the staff head missing.
This deal indeed moved her a bit, adding to the fear that Chilong and Tian Qilin might do something unspeakable while the old father was too weak to resist.
If the Beginning Qilin were to die, it would be a major event in the Primordial Chaos. If the cause and effect were to be accounted for, Deng ChanYu would likely not escape responsibility, after all, it was her Faint Dragon who brought him. Without her, the Starting Qilin lying in state would not find the Faint Dragon for ten thousand eons.
To prevent the pair of lovebirds, Faint Dragon and Tian Qilin, from "hilarious filial piety," she could only watch on the sidelines, half-protecting and half-eating melons.
"No! The old man absolutely does not agree!" The Beginning Qilin's attitude was firm. Deng Chanyu quietly watched the show, her understanding of the spatial avenue had deepened greatly, and she sensed a little anomaly—seemed like Yuan Feng and the Ancestor Dragon's gaze was also here at this moment?
Seeing her old friend care so much about herself, the Beginning Qilin must be very delighted.
"You're not reasonable! Why don't you agree? We're already married!" Tian Qilin turned into a maiden form and kept opposing her father's authoritarianism. Now she was vigorously defending her position, and her face was as black as a pot bottom.
"Father-in-law, I truly love A Tian and want to spend my life with her. Please, Father-in-law, grant us your blessing!" The Faint Dragon transformed into a handsome young man, knelt on the ground, and pounded his head to the ground "dong dong".
"I'll kick you to death!" The Beginning Qilin kicked several times with all his might, but in vain. For too long, he had been trapped under the Qilin Cliff, and he himself had little energy left. The Faint Dragon's skin was thick and tough, and a few kicks were nothing to him.
There was a commotion for half a day.
The family of three finally reached an agreement.
The Beginning Qilin will use the seven lifetimes' karma to test them, and Tian Qilin and the Faint Dragon will also prove their unbreakable love with their actions.
The seven lifetimes' karma is not a happy, vacation-like reincarnation of seven times, but a particularly miserable and agonizing journey where they will be separated in every life and end in tragedy every time.
The phoenix had been the Star Ruler of the Six Harmonies, and Deng ChanYu had briefly held the red embroidery ball, so she knew the difficulty of the seven lifetimes' karma.
According to her previous understanding, Liang Boming and Zhu YingTai were likely to be one of the lifetimes in this, with the other six lifetimes being tragedies like this. The test within this could be imagined.
Love often comes and goes quickly, repeatedly torturing them for seven times, and nine out of ten living beings cannot withstand it.
The Beginning Qilin said to Deng ChanYu, "Please take them to reincarnate and arrange their first lifetime. I want to see how long these shameless brats can last!"
This matter would be difficult for anyone else to handle. It involves the underworld, the celestial court and the Affair Hall, and most importantly, it involves Nu Wa. The Beginning Qilin "retired" and was on the verge of death, so he did not have any networking connections.
Deng ChanYu indeed has the ability to operate this matter, and it won't take her much effort. It's just a matter of a few words for her.
Looking at the Faint Dragon and Tian Qilin, Deng ChanYu said, "You two need to think it over carefully. The seven lifetimes' karma is no trivial matter. As far as I know, up until now, in the Primordial Chaos, no one has passed this test after formal marriage ceremonies in heaven, earth, and among mortals."
The Faint Dragon and Tian Qilin locked eyes and both smiled confidently. Then they directly left their physical bodies, each summoning their spiritual bodies, and headed towards the underworld to reincarnate.
Deng ChanYu: "..."
So impulsive? No wonder they can just run away. You guys should at least think it over a bit more.
Moreover, you guys left so quickly. I haven't even arranged it yet!
The Beginning Qilin was also stunned and hurriedly urged her, "Hurry up, hurry up! The old man is here waiting for you. Just wait until you're back to tell you about the staff head of the Phoenix Staff."
A cold laugh echoed from the space.
Deng ChanYu knew that it was not suitable to negotiate now, so she looked at the Beginning Qilin and acted on her own and her duplicate.
The moon still went to search for Dizang and arranged the matter of reincarnation. Now Buddhism and the East Mount Emperor were rapidly expanding their influence in the underworld, while the shamanic clans originally took a stance of watching the tiger fight. Many shamanic clans have given up and do not work anymore! All the work is done by people from Buddhism and East Mount Emperor, now arranging reincarnation is really dependent on the relationship of Buddhism.
The phoenix went to find the Matchmaker, to arrange for a marriage, there's nothing much to say; he's an old subordinate.
Deng ChanYu's true body then went to the Wutai Palace to borrow the Red Embroidery Ball from Nu Wa. It doesn't really need much adjustment; as long as they let the Faint Dragon and Tian Qilin enter the "challenging mode" of the seven lifetimes' karma, everything will be fine.
It wasn't long before the first lifetimes of the Faint Dragon and Tian Qilin, named Weisheng and Lan Yulan, were already arranged for reincarnation, waiting to be born.
According to the agreement, the Beginning Qilin also told Deng ChanYu about the whereabouts of the staff head of the Phoenix Staff.
The moon brought the slightly modified divided Treasure Summit back to the Ling Mountain.
After consulting with JieYin and ZhunTi, she placed the divided Treasure Summit in the side hall of the Great Thunder Temple.
For a moment, many of the Buddhist disciples became excited.
Several Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, using the pretext of seeking work, subtly inquired about the great opportunity she had gained.
The Moon used the phrase "As the Buddha said, it cannot be said" to sidestep their questions.
The Twin Treasures Buddha and Miaolai Buddha were the first to visit the divided Treasure Summit.
They both had a certain premonition that this defeat was a defeat within Buddhism, not a defeat on the Dao. They still had opportunities, but they had already lost the initiative. They needed to admit that.
The Buddha of Many Treasures paid no attention to the pointing and whispering of his disciples. He sat calmly in front of the divided Treasure Summit, closed his eyes, and pondered to see what great secrets were hidden within it.
