Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 960: The First Truth-seeking Purple Buddha

"Dragon Tree Buddha? Who is this person?"

With a casual shake of his tobacco pipe, Ye Yun let ash flutter down, questioning with a grin.

A shift appeared on the Yoga Godlord’s face as she leaned in to listen closely.

She had a faint recollection of Dragon Tree Buddha, yet the memory eluded her grasp.

"Buddha Lord, the Dragon Tree Buddha was an ancient powerhouse from millions of years past; he stands as the sole individual in our Divine Land who attained the Purple Buddha realm via truth-seeking!"

The Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor replied cheerfully.

"So that’s it..."

Ye Yun’s eyes gleamed thoughtfully, as if a realization dawned on him then.

Through his practice of the Mahamudra Sutra, he unleashed purple Buddhist light that manifested countless Purple Buddhas across the void.

This Dragon Tree Buddha had also transformed into a Purple Buddha; might he too have mastered the Mahamudra Sutra?

"Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor, are you aware of the specific Buddhist method the Dragon Tree Buddha employed for his truth-seeking?"

Ye Yun inquired.

"The era is too distant, Buddha Lord; we truly don’t know."

The Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor shook his head.

Ye Yun: "Then, does the Dragon Tree Buddha still live?"

"Millions of years back, the Dragon Tree Buddha entered Nirvana!"

The Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor answered with a helpless grin.

"So he’s been gone for ages..."

Ye Yun nodded, a touch of regret stirring in his heart.

Should the Dragon Tree Buddha persist in existence, Ye Yun would certainly seek him out to explore his cultivation path.

Could it be

that achieving Purple Buddha status didn’t require the Mahamudra Sutra?

A subtle disquiet regarding the Dragon Tree Buddha crept into Ye Yun’s mind.

From his knowledge,

solely through the Mahamudra Sutra could one manifest purple Buddhist light inside.

Yet across the great Buddha sects of Divine Land, none seemed capable of producing such purple Buddhist light.

"Buddha Lord, though the Dragon Tree Buddha has departed, his heritage endures over these millions of years, hidden somewhere unknown..."

The Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor added.

"I understand!"

Ye Yun nodded, fresh hope igniting in his gaze.

With heritage transmitted down the ages, he held a chance to unravel the mystery of Dragon Tree Buddha’s ascent to Purple Buddha.

"Fear not, Buddha Lord; the Holy Buddha Sect will exert every effort to probe the legacy of the Dragon Tree Buddha!"

The Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor vowed reverently.

"Excellent, you’ve handled this superbly; the Holy Buddha Sect shines brightly!"

Ye Yun nodded approvingly with a smile.

Truly, this master-disciple duo from the Holy Buddha Sect suited his preferences perfectly.

The elder proved wise and perceptive.

The younger radiated stunning beauty.

"Buddha Lord, for the Jade Buddha Sect’s Grand Assembly of All Buddhas this time, you and Luo Ye must attend..."

The Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor suggested respectfully, eyes sparkling.

"No issue at all; as Dao Companion to the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman now, I’m practically family to your Holy Buddha Sect, right? Moreover, my Purple Buddha attainment ties back to you all—I owe you one, and down the line, I’ll definitely look after the Holy Buddha Sect, so relax..."

Ye Yun dismissed concerns with a wave and easy smile.

"Gratitude, Buddha Lord..."

The Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor beamed, tension easing visibly.

This Purple Buddha’s emergence ensured that even if the Jade Buddha Sect claimed Yambudvipa, the Holy Buddha Sect’s dominance remained unshaken.

Catching Ye Yun’s assurance,

the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman’s eyes curved in a delighted smile; with him around, which Buddhist force would dare defy?

"Ye Chen, as Dao Companions, the Holy Buddha Sect counts as your home from now on, doesn’t it?"

The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman smiled warmly.

"Hmm... you’ve got a point there!"

Ye Yun replied with gentle amusement.

He grasped fully the intent behind the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman’s words.

Strictly speaking, from her viewpoint, he could indeed be seen as an affiliate of the Holy Buddha Sect.

At Ye Yun’s response, the Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor’s face lit up; he hastened to declare: "Buddha Lord, should you desire it, I’d gladly relinquish the Holy Buddha Sect’s Sect Master seat!"

"No need!

I fancy the free-spirited existence of clouds and cranes, unbound by any formal roles!"

Ye Yun waved off the Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor’s offer firmly.

"That fellow Hongyun still lies unconscious!"

Ye Yun changed the subject, glancing toward the nearby Master Hongyun.

This fellow had been struck by the Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor's deliverance force, still not back to his usual state.

Stretching out his palm, the Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor channeled a ray of Buddha light into Master Hongyun’s frame, allowing him to swiftly awaken.

"What happened?"

Bewildered, Master Hongyun glanced at Ye Yun and inquired.

"Nothing much, I was delivered too, now the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman and I have become Dao Companions."

Ye Yun chuckled.

"Then congratulations, fellow Daoist..."

Master Hongyun drew in a heavy breath, offering a wry smile as he spoke.

Comparing oneself to others can truly be infuriating.

This carefree young heir had abruptly turned into the Dao Companion of the Holy Buddha Sect's Saintess!

It feels so unfair.

Despite the storm raging in his mind, Master Hongyun hid it masterfully.

He understood clearly that as a mere True God-stage insect, amid the powerhouses aboard this Celestial Boat, staying utterly inconspicuous was essential.

Only thus could he ensure his survival.

Onward the Celestial Boat raced.

Drawing ever nearer to Jade Buddha City.

Meanwhile.

High above Jade Buddha City, a massive Cave Heaven vaguely materialized far within the void.

This was the Jade Buddha Paradise.

Inside the famed Jade Buddha Paradise lay the Jade Buddha Sect.

And below the Jade Buddha Paradise sprawled Jade Buddha City, an immense metropolis housing more than ten billion souls.

Inside Jade Buddha City.

Shops thrived in endless lines, crowds surged without pause—ordinary folks below True God-stage mingled with mighty God King realm powerhouses.

Right now, far inside the Jade Buddha Paradise.

Several God King realm monks gathered in a timeworn grand hall.

"That news, has it been disseminated?"

Indifferently, a striking monk posed the question.

Young in appearance, yet his gaze held fathomless depths, as though he'd weathered every mortal trial and pierced through all worldly illusions.

He was the Oracle Buddha Ancestor, present Sect Master of the Jade Buddha Sect, a titan rivaling the Holy Sky Buddha Ancestor from the Holy Buddha Sect.

"All top forces have been informed of the news, but many don’t dare believe it, they will surely come to investigate during this Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty..."

Replied the gray-robed elder monk.

"Very well, everything is according to plan; this time, once the plan of Yambudvipa is announced, our Jade Buddha Sect will certainly surpass the Holy Buddha Sect, leading all Buddhist sects in the world!"

Calmly declared the Oracle Buddha Ancestor.

Gentle as his tone was, his eyes shimmered with myriad Buddhist lights, harboring innumberable holy Buddha shadows.

Hearing this, every God King realm expert felt their spirits surge, roaring together.

"Good!"

...

Within Jade Buddha City.

Atop a towering ancient spire, two venerable figures stood.

"By right, the Celestial Boat of the Holy Buddha Sect should be arriving soon..."

With eager eyes fixed on a void sector, the Happy Buddha Ancestor murmured.

"Could there have been any accidents on the way?"

A trace of worry colored the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor’s words.

"With the Celestial Boat of the Saintess of the Holy Buddha Sect, who in the world would dare to obstruct it?"

The Happy Buddha Ancestor scoffed.

"Here it comes, here it comes!"

The Buddha Flame Old Ancestor’s gaze ignited with thrill, staring far into the void where a known Celestial Boat hurtled closer.
