Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 980: The Duel of Yinfuti
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
Despite being mentally prepared for the onslaught of voices, the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman still felt the immense pressure.
"Ye Chen..."
The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman sent a telepathic message, her tone laced with a hint of unease.
"Worry not, I shall handle them."
Ye Yun responded.
His words brought a measure of reassurance to the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman.
Ye Yun shifted slightly, his gaze turning towards the Oracle Buddha Ancestor, who sat majestically upon the colossal Nine-leaf Buddha Lotus.
"Oracle Buddha Ancestor, do you doubt my identity as Yinfuti?"
Ye Yun inquired with a gentle smile.
"Anyone who believes that is a fool!"
A sneer escaped a Divine King Realm expert from the Jade Buddha Sect.
"There is wisdom in those words."
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor offered a slight smile, his gaze finally settling upon Ye Yun.
"You are merely someone from the Divine Monarch Realm. From whence have you appeared? Are you perhaps being manipulated by the Holy Buddha Sect? What benefits have they promised you?"
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor questioned with a chuckle.
"You are mistaken. I am the Dao companion of the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman and a true Yinfuti. I have received enlightenment from the Buddhist Law of the Holy Buddha Sect and can be considered one of the Buddhist Gate..."
Ye Yun spoke at a leisurely pace, gesturing towards the young man in plain robes standing opposite him. "Might I suggest a competition in Buddhist Law? If I prove victorious, then my identity need not be debated further. What say you?"
Though his voice was soft, it resonated like thunderclaps in the ears of all present.
A mere cultivator of the Divine Monarch Realm dared to challenge a Divine King Realm young master from the Jade Buddha Sect?
From where did he derive such audacious courage?
Expressions of mockery spread across the faces of the assembled experts.
In their eyes, this Divine Monarch Realm cultivator was akin to a mantis attempting to halt a speeding chariot – a delusional display of overestimation.
"Ha ha..."
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor remained silent, a mere smile gracing his lips, betraying no discernible emotion.
At this precise moment.
He felt no need to voice any particular opinion.
"You wish to engage me in a contest of Buddhist Law?"
The young man in plain robes, who had previously exhibited a demeanor as tranquil as still water, found his expression shifting slightly. He regarded Ye Yun with discernible curiosity.
"Is that not permissible?"
Ye Yun smiled.
His gaze softly alighted upon the young man in plain robes.
Yet, in this very instant.
The young man in plain robes felt as though his very being was laid bare.
"This individual possesses a certain... gravitas..."
The young man in plain robes mused internally.
He drew a deep breath, surveyed Ye Yun from head to toe, maintained his composure, and stated faintly, "I am the Second Buddha Child of the Jade Buddha Sect, possessing a Divine King Realm cultivation base. To challenge me is akin to an egg striking a stone, is it not?"
"Buddhist Law is not determined by cultivation realm."
Ye Yun gently waved his hand, his pupils contracting. His gaze sharpened like a piercing blade as he shot it towards the young man, inquiring with a smile, "I merely ask, do you possess the courage or not?"
"Why would I not dare?"
The young man in plain robes also found the situation rather amusing and declared loudly, "I accept your challenge."
"Excellent!"
Ye Yun unveiled a mysterious smile.
Then.
He turned his attention back to the Oracle Buddha Ancestor and calmly stated, "My Buddhist Law is remarkably potent. Once unleashed, it becomes difficult to contain, and extremely dire consequences may ensue. Oracle Buddha Ancestor, are you certain the Jade Buddha Sect is adequately prepared for such ramifications?"
"What preposterous babble is this?"
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor faltered slightly, perceiving the Divine Monarch Realm young monk's words as riddles, deliberately intended to mystify.
A Divine King Realm expert positioned beside the Oracle Buddha Ancestor could not restrain himself. Folding his arms, he directed his gaze towards the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman and queried, "Saintess, are you certain this fellow is not mentally unsound?"
"What preposterous babble is this?"
The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman erupted in fury, mirroring the Oracle Buddha Ancestor's recent words back at him.
"Enough!"
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor raised a hand, effectively silencing the Divine King Realm expert.
He then addressed Ye Yun with solemnity, "Proceed with your move. Whatever transpires, the Jade Buddha Sect shall bear responsibility!"
"That is acceptable!"
Ye Yun smiled with evident ease, subsequently glancing at the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, his eyes conveying a special understanding.
The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, comprehending his meaning, offered a faint smile in return.
Ye Yun then pivoted to face the young man in plain robes.
At this very moment, the second profound meaning of the Mahamudra Sutra was suddenly activated within him.
An enigmatic Buddha Intent emanated from his person.
Under Ye Yun’s deliberate guidance, the manifestation of his Buddhist Law was confined to a significantly reduced spatial area.
The young man in plain robes found himself ensnared within this restricted zone.
"After enduring such prolonged suppression, have you never contemplated rebirth?"
Ye Yun spoke.
His voice seemed imbued with a profound, otherworldly charm, each syllable resonating with an unmatched Buddha Intent.
The young man clad in simple robes appeared lost in a trance.
At this precise moment, his very spirit seemed to falter.
"What in the world is happening?"
A subtle tremor ran through the youth in cloth robes, his eyes gradually regaining their focus.
Whoosh!
Almost instantaneously, the silver needles embedded within him began to quiver in perfect harmony, erupting with a brilliant Buddha light that pierced through the surroundings.
The blinding radiance of the Buddha light transformed him, making it seem as though he stood at the very heart of a miniature sun, exuding an ethereal brilliance.
"Curious, for a mere cultivator of the Divine Monarch Realm to actually push the Buddha Child to such a degree!"
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor expressed a hint of astonishment.
Despite his profound mastery of Buddhist Law, he found himself unable to discern any hidden mechanisms at play.
Among the assembled throng.
The sole individual capable of perceiving the underlying truth was the Dragon Tree Buddha.
The Dragon Tree Buddha's eyes widened, fixated on Ye Yun with an expression of utter disbelief.
"Limitless Buddhist Law? The second profound revelation of the Mahamudra Sutra! How could he possibly comprehend it?"
"Could it be that he is the second coming of the Purple Buddha?"
"Yet, that defies logic. The second profound revelation of the Mahamudra Sutra was only attained by myself after ascending to the Infinite Buddha Land and receiving direct tutelage from the World Honored One himself..."
"This individual was, until recently, merely a native cultivator of this world. How could he have acquired the second profound revelation ahead of time?"
"What is truly occurring here?"
"..."
The Dragon Tree Buddha's heart was thrown into utter disarray at this juncture.
Even after cultivating for countless millennia and possessing an unshakeable Buddha mind, his heart, usually as calm as a tranquil lake, was now being churned by tumultuous waves.
The Dragon Tree Buddha simply could not fathom the reason.
How the second Purple Buddha of the Divine Land had managed to learn the second profound revelation of the Mahamudra Sutra.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun had not anticipated.
That standing so close to him was the Dragon Tree Buddha, a venerable being who had journeyed from the distant Infinite Buddha Land down to the Divine Land.
This individual, much like Wu De before him, had somehow found a way to enter the Divine Land for the express purpose of seeking him out personally.
Ye Yun gazed with serene composure at the young man in cloth robes and spoke, "Cease your resistance; your application of Buddhist Law is insufficient and no match for my power..."
These words, too, were imbued with a boundless and supreme Buddha Intent.
The Buddha Intent surged forth like a cataclysmic flood, instantly overwhelming the young man garbed in cloth robes.
The young man in cloth robes once again adopted a bewildered expression.
"Halt! What manner of sorcery is this, used to ensnare our Jade Buddha Sect's Buddha Child?"
The Oracle Buddha Ancestor, observing the drastically altered circumstances, bellowed with righteous indignation.
"It is merely the unfettered Buddhist Law!"
Ye Yun turned his back to the Oracle Buddha Ancestor, a cold smile gracing his lips.
With a sudden flick of his wrist.
A potent force descended instantaneously upon the young man in cloth robes.
Buzz buzz...
The silver needles within the young man, finer than strands of hair, all abruptly loosened their hold, vibrating in unison as if on the verge of disintegration.
Witnessing the youth's deteriorating condition, the Oracle Buddha Ancestor fixed a stern gaze upon the Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman and commanded, "This is an act of dark sorcery! Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman, desist from this immediately, lest you compel me to show no quarter to the members of your Jade Buddha Sect!"
The Fallen Leaf Sacred Woman merely shook her head.
She possessed no authority whatsoever to intervene in Ye Chen's actions.
Buzz!
A sound akin to the collective hum of countless bees filled the surrounding atmosphere.
Within the void, the Buddha light emanating from the young man in cloth robes intensified dramatically, encasing his entire form.
"What is transpiring?"
Upon witnessing this awe-inspiring and terrifying spectacle, all the gathered experts narrowed their eyes, revealing expressions of profound terror.
