Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 978: Root Essence of Buddha Flame

"Huh, is that strange? How does this young man also possess the aura of Infinite Buddha Light?"

Ye Yun was momentarily taken aback, contemplating the oddity.

This aura of Infinite Buddha Light was incredibly faint, almost undetectable to the untrained eye.

It was only because Ye Yun had cultivated the Mahamudra Sutra that his own innate Buddha Light sensed a mysterious resonance with the trace of Buddha Light within the plainly dressed young man.

Only then was this subtle phenomenon perceptible to him.

Glancing sideways, Ye Yun noticed the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor gazing with evident excitement at the young man situated on a distant Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus.

Ye Yun fell into thought.

"Is this your true form?"

Ye Yun sent a telepathic message, the words reaching the ears of the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor.

"Yes, Buddha Lord, this is indeed my true form!

It's simply unbelievable!

My true form... To think I've been within the Jade Buddha Sect, under their tutelage for countless eons!"

The Buddha Flame Old Ancestor, his face flushed with elation, could barely contain his overwhelming joy and quickly transmitted a response back to Ye Yun.

"How did your true form manifest as a Yinfuti?"

Ye Yun's heart fluttered with curiosity, and he posed the question.

"I haven't the faintest idea myself; who knows what transpired?"

The Buddha Flame Old Ancestor replied with a hint of helplessness.

"Remain calm; this location is teeming with formidable experts. You must not act impulsively..."

Ye Yun offered his counsel.

He was also concerned that the Buddha Flame Old Ancestor's emotions might escalate too intensely, potentially leading to unforeseen complications.

"Understood, Buddha Lord."

The Buddha Flame Old Ancestor took a deep, steadying breath, attempting to compose himself.

Ye Yun redirected his gaze back towards the young man in simple attire.

There was no doubt that this young man represented the true form of the Buddha Flame Root.

However, upon emerging from the lake, this young man had surveyed the surroundings and, surprisingly, had not detected his own avatar.

It appeared as though all connections had been severed.

What could be the reason for this?

Had the practice of Buddhist law led to the forgetting of one's own kin?

Ye Yun was perplexed. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and within the depths of his eyes, countless minute, star-like Purple Runes shifted and rearranged with astonishing speed.

He began to intently observe the plainly dressed young man.

After a lapse of several seconds.

Ye Yun withdrew his gaze, although his expression had taken on a slightly peculiar hue.

This young man, clad in ordinary clothes, was actually ensnared by two distinct layers of power.

The outermost layer of restraint manifested as innumerable fine, silver needles, akin to ox hairs in their delicacy.

Each of these silver needles, suffused with immense Buddha Light, permeated every inch of the young man's body.

His physical form was being forcefully transmuted into a Buddha's body, radiating an overwhelming abundance of Buddha Light.

The innermost layer of power served to subjugate the very true form of this young man.

This particular force was extraordinarily potent; it was highly probable that no one present could fathom that this young man was not human but rather a supreme, ancient monster.

"Intriguing..."

Ye Yun's eyes gleamed, his curiosity thoroughly piqued.

This expedition to the Land of Thousands of Buddhas was proving to be exceptionally rewarding.

"Oracle Buddha Ancestor, what makes you so certain he is the legendary Yinfuti?"

From atop a Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus.

A God King Expert voiced his skepticism.

All other eyes turned towards the Oracle Buddha Ancestor.

This was the core question lingering in everyone's mind.

Who could definitively establish that this young man, radiating an intense Buddha aura, was indeed the fabled Yinfuti?

"Haha, I comprehend your doubts, as much time has elapsed, and so many years have passed, it is indeed difficult to believe..."

The Oracle Buddha Ancestor, unhurriedly, withdrew a golden scroll from the depths of his voluminous sleeve.

This scroll, though ancient, emanated a distinctive and potent aura.

With a gentle unfurling of the scroll by the Oracle Buddha Ancestor, an immediate beam of light shot skyward, coalescing into unique characters and intricate patterns in the aerial expanse.

"Herein resides one named Yinfuti, entrusted to the Jade Buddha Sect for tutelage."

The endorsement bore the seal of the Eternal Divine Hall.

Upon witnessing these words and the ancient golden scroll, the expressions of all present underwent a palpable shift.

It materialized that this was an oracle issued directly by the Eternal Divine Hall.

With this irrefutable oracle in hand, naturally, no one would dare to question the origins of this Yinfuti.

"Good heavens! The Eternal Divine Hall exhibits excessive partiality; to discover a Yinfuti and entrust it to the Jade Buddha Sect instead of bestowing it upon our Holy Buddha Sect!"

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman's countenance altered, her displeasure evident.

Ye Yun inquired in a hushed tone, "Does the Jade Buddha Sect maintain a close affiliation with the Eternal Divine Hall?"

"I am uncertain myself; theoretically, the Eternal Divine Hall stands supreme, and should not be directly associated with the Jade Buddha Sect. However, this event transpired in a time of antiquity, and for eons, the relationship between these two powers millions of years ago remains unknown..."

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman pondered, attempting to formulate a coherent explanation.

"Millions of years past, did your Holy Buddha Sect occupy a comparable standing?"

Ye Yun probed further.

"Back then, the Jade Buddha Sect appeared to wield greater influence than our own..."

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman mused for a moment before responding.

"So, the Eternal Divine Hall located a Yinfuti and passed it to the Jade Buddha Sect for tutelage. It's understandable that your Holy Buddha Sect didn't receive such an opportunity!"

Ye Yun commented with a smile.

"Perhaps. Regardless, it's already a done deal, and there's no point in discussing it further. Now, our only hope lies with you, Ye Chen..."

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman looked towards Ye Yun with immense hope.

This young man represented the salvation of the Holy Buddha Sect.

A Yinfuti against a Yinfuti, using one's own method to subdue the opponent — this notion instilled a surge of confidence in Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman.

After all, Ye Yun, this Yinfuti, had already ascended to the rank of a Purple Buddha.

He was the second Purple Buddha in the Divine Land, beneath Dragon Tree Buddha.

Then.

A God King Expert joined his palms, proclaiming loudly, "Congratulations to the Jade Buddha Sect for the successful tutelage of the Yinfuti!"

These words.

Immediately echoed among all the formidable cultivators gathered around the lake.

This was indeed the fabled Yinfuti, embodying the five great poisons and renowned for its untamable nature, notoriously difficult to tutor.

Yet, this Yinfuti had been successfully tutored by the Jade Buddha Sect.

Could the Buddhist Law of the Jade Buddha Sect be that potent?

A sense of awe filled everyone present.

"Congratulations to the Jade Buddha Sect for tutoring the Yinfuti..."

"Congratulations to the Jade Buddha Sect..."

"Congratulations..."

Waves of congratulatory shouts washed over like an unstoppable tide.

All the disciples of the Jade Buddha Sect lifted their heads, their faces radiating pure pride.

Once the fervent wave of congratulations subsided.

Oracle Buddha Ancestor surveyed the surroundings, a slight smile playing on his lips, and calmly declared, "Fellow Daoists, the Buddhist Law of our Jade Buddha Sect is unparalleled, having successfully tutored the Yinfuti, thus rightfully earning the first position in the Land of Thousands of Buddhas. Does anyone have any objections?"

"No objections!"

Original Buddha Child exclaimed with great vehemence.

The Jade Buddha Sect already held superiority over his Supreme Buddha Sect, so he was pleased to witness the Jade Buddha Sect triumph over the Holy Buddha Sect.

Original Buddha Child's declaration found agreement with everyone present.

"The Buddhist Law of the Jade Buddha Sect is supreme!"

Countless voices roared in unison, the clamor immense, surging like a turbulent ocean.

"Wait!"

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman suddenly raised her graceful jade hand, her voice soft.

Oracle Buddha Ancestor turned his gaze towards her, his victor's smile still in place, and calmly inquired, "Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, what is it you wish to say?"

"Oracle Buddha Ancestor, our Holy Buddha Sect has also tutored a Yinfuti!"

Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman replied with a smile.

Upon uttering these words.

Ye Yun stepped forward, positioning himself above the horizon of the lake.

"There's no need for surprise; I am that Yinfuti!"

Ye Yun declared calmly, his gaze sweeping across the assembled powerful figures, revealing the truth without reservation.

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

What was this?

How could the Holy Buddha Sect also possess a tutored Yinfuti?

Perched upon the Nine-leaf Lotus, Dragon Court Buddha Child stared at Ye Yun in utter astonishment.

This individual's mastery of Buddhist Law was remarkably profound, far exceeding that of Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, and yet, he was the legendary, untamable Yinfuti?

The lotus leaves quivered gently.

Two individuals materialized silently beside him.

The newcomers were a Monk in Purple Yi robes and a middle-aged monk clad in red.

"Greetings, Uncle!"

Upon recognizing the middle-aged monk, Dragon Court Buddha Child's expression shifted, and he hastily offered a greeting with clasped hands.

He then turned his attention to the Monk in Purple Yi, a sense of familiarity washing over him, as if they had met before.

Standing atop the Nine-leaf Lotus.

Dragon Tree Buddha fixed his gaze upon the young man in plain attire within the vastness of the void.

At this moment, his eyes held a deep, mysterious purple light that flickered, akin to countless divine Buddhas manifesting and perishing within, symbolizing infinite transformation.

"How did my root appear in this place?"

Dragon Tree Buddha exclaimed in profound surprise.
