Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 969: Universal Dharma Power from the Mahamudra Sutra
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"What is impossible?"
Ye Yun responded calmly to the roar of the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor.
His intention was to employ the Mahamudra Sutra to convert these two individuals.
After all, it is only polite to return a favor.
Since the two had attempted to convert him earlier, it was only right that he now intended to unleash the Universal Dharma Power to thoroughly torment them both.
Concurrently, he aimed to gauge the true effectiveness of the Mahamudra Sutra.
"You are Yinfuti; how can you possibly be the Purple Buddha?" the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor questioned, his voice a low mutter.
"Doesn't the world decree that a Yinfuti cannot become the Purple Buddha?" Ye Yun inquired with a smile.
"Not good, we must flee immediately!"
A sense of an extraordinary power descending upon them caused the Happy Buddha Ancestor's expression to change drastically as he began to turn and escape.
The Buddha Flame Old Ancestor was also keenly aware of this power.
Without a second thought, he fled in a different direction.
Both possessed deep mastery of the Buddhist Path, and they instantly recognized the implications of this encroaching power.
It was clearly another form of conversion ability.
The conversion initiated by a Purple Buddha was notoriously formidable.
Once converted, they risked falling under the absolute command of another.
"Do not even think about escaping!"
Ye Yun let out a hearty laugh and abruptly extended a single finger.
"Freeze!"
The Stasis Technique was invoked, causing both the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor and the Happy Old Ancestor to stiffen, their bodies instantly locked in place mid-air.
Ye Yun had only immobilized their physical forms, leaving their minds unaffected.
After all, he still needed to proceed with the Universal Dharma Power.
"Why can't my body move? What kind of conversion power is this?"
Sensing that something was amiss, the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor was taken aback.
"Is this the power of the Purple Buddha? With your cultivation at the Divine Monarch Realm, you can actually restrain both of us Divine Kings here!"
Over there, the Happy Buddha Ancestor was so astonished that his jaw nearly unhinged.
"You two, simply cease your struggles and await the completion of my conversion process!"
Ye Yun offered no explanation, only a faint smile.
He began to circulate the Mahamudra Sutra.
The purple luminescence emanating from his body intensified, surging like a tide in both directions.
The bodies of the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor and the Happy Buddha Ancestor were swiftly engulfed by this overwhelming purple light.
Within the void.
Countless purple Divine Buddhas commenced chanting enigmatic and ancient incantations.
Ye Yun observed the unfolding scene with serene detachment.
Amidst the purple radiance, he watched as the expressions of the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor and the Happy Old Ancestor shifted from initial apprehension to a dawning sense of calm and profound peace.
"This power of conversion truly feels akin to mind manipulation..."
Ye Yun reflected inwardly.
At the very moment Ye Yun was engrossed in converting the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor and the Happy Buddha Ancestor.
Within the confines of Jade Buddha City.
The monk clad in red robes, accompanied by Master Hongyun, had already gained entry into the Qianya Immortal Residence.
They were halted before a grand hall.
"Brother Red Dragon, the Dragon Court Buddha Child is currently inside the hall engaged in a debate on Buddhist Law with Saintess Fallen Leaf; you cannot enter at this moment!"
A monk of middle age obstructed their path.
"I understand. In that case, we shall have to wait for a while!"
Brother Red Dragon, who was Master Hongyun's mentor, offered a wry smile upon hearing this and decided to wait where they stood.
Master Hongyun pursed his lips and reluctantly stepped aside.
"Who is this individual?"
The middle-aged monk raised an eyebrow in inquiry.
"Senior Brother, this is my disciple, hailing from the Cangnan Continent. We encountered him just now in Jade Buddha City!"
Red Dragon provided the explanation.
"Very well, then he is not entirely a stranger. Your lineage has diligently maintained this place for so many years; it truly has not been an easy undertaking..."
The middle-aged monk sighed softly, his gaze towards Master Hongyun filled with a gentle warmth.
Master Hongyun was touched and quietly asked, "Master, for how long has our Evil Buddha Sect's lineage been passed down there in the Cangnan Continent?"
"How long? I'm not entirely certain either, but after I joined the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect, I learned that our lineage on the Cangnan Continent has been in continuous succession for millions of years!"
Red Dragon replied with a wry smile.
"For such an immense duration, millions of years?"
Master Hongyun was visibly astonished.
Recalling back a million years, the Cangnan Continent would have been known as the Dragon Hidden Continent.
This was once the undisputed territory of the Dragon Clan.
"A million years ago, your lineage entered the Dragon Hidden Continent, taking upon yourselves a grave responsibility, passing it down generation after generation until this very day..."
The middle-aged monk elaborated.
"What kind of responsibility is it?"
Driven by curiosity, Master Hongyun instinctively inquired.
"This is a secret of the sect; you should not probe into it. Neither your master nor I are privy to this particular secret!"
The middle-aged monk stated with a stern expression.
"Oh!"
With no alternative, Master Hongyun could only nod, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
At this moment, Red Dragon turned his gaze toward the grand hall and inquired softly, "Senior brother, how long do you suppose the discussion on Buddhist Law between Dragon Court Buddha Child and Saintess Fallen Leaf will continue?"
"It's difficult to say. I recall a time when their debate on Buddhist Law lasted for three days and nights..."
The middle-aged monk chuckled.
"For such an extended period? Did Dragon Court Buddha Child ultimately emerge victorious?"
Red Dragon asked with a smile.
"Reportedly, they were tied that particular time, with neither side achieving a clear win..."
The middle-aged monk responded.
"I hadn't anticipated... that the Buddhist Law of the Holy Buddha Sect would also be so formidable!"
Red Dragon let out a sigh.
"The Holy Buddha Sect, after all, holds the foremost rank in Buddhist Law within the Land of Thousands of Buddhas; being powerful in Buddhist Law is only natural!"
The middle-aged monk offered a slight smile, a hint of pride surfacing on his face as he spoke quietly, "Back then, when Dragon Tree Buddha attained Nirvana, he did not pass down his practiced Buddhist Law. Today, our lineage's Buddhist Law is conveyed by his disciple; therefore, essentially, what we cultivate is not Dragon Tree Buddha's Buddhist Law!"
"So that's the reason..."
Upon hearing this, Master Hongyun displayed a sudden comprehension.
No wonder he had always perceived the Buddhist Law of the Evil Buddha Sect as peculiar; it turned out it wasn't directly passed down by Dragon Tree Buddha.
Consider this scenario.
Dragon Tree Buddha, as the sole Purple Buddha in the Divine Land, if his Buddhist Law had been transmitted, how could Dragon Court Buddha Child possibly fail to defeat Saintess Fallen Leaf in matters of Buddhist Law?
"Esteemed Elder, do you happen to know why Dragon Tree Buddha chose not to pass it down?"
Master Hongyun inquired with curiosity.
"That question remains a profound mystery. Our Dragon Elephant Prajna Sect has endured for millions of years, yet we have never uncovered the reason why Dragon Tree Buddha did not bequeath his Buddhist Law."
The middle-aged monk sighed.
...
Deep beneath the earth, far from Jade Buddha City.
Ye Yun suddenly quivered, transitioning to a different hand seal.
Whoosh!
The immense purple radiance vanished, flowing back into his being.
The Universal Dharma Power within the Mahamudra Sutra had been fully executed by Ye Yun.
Concurrently, Buddha Flame Old Ancestor and Happy Old Ancestor were now in a state of deep contemplation, their eyes closed, emanating a sacred Buddhist light.
"It should have been successful, shouldn't it?"
Ye Yun chuckled, extending a hand to release the Stasis Technique.
The two of them opened their eyes.
A faint purple glint was discernible deep within their gazes, noticed by Ye Yun.
It appeared to have worked.
Ye Yun nodded in affirmation.
"We greet the Buddha Lord!"
Buddha Flame Old Ancestor and Happy Buddha Ancestor approached, their hands clasped together. Their bodies bent in a show of extreme respect.
"Are the two of you intending to pledge your allegiance to me?"
Ye Yun's heart stirred with anticipation, and he asked with a smile.
"We report to the Buddha Lord, under the influence of the conversion power, we are willing to follow you for eternity and learn the supreme Buddhist Law..."
Both lowered their heads, their words practically spoken in unison.
"Excellent!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun appeared to have a realization, a touch of joy gracing his expression.
