Chapter 1591: Chapter 56: Asking Buddha (2)

The Law Realm Pagoda, Zenith Buddha Pavilion

Great Zen Masters gathered in a hall never anticipated Yanshan’s audacity in front of the South Heavenly Buddha, nor did they expect him to choose such a resolute form of self-destruction.

The collision between the Arhat Fruit Rank and the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra Gold Body has happened before, but the outcome always saw the Arhat shattered and the Bodhisattva unharmed.

This was a spar between equals, but who is Master Guangming? He is recognized as a Zenith Great Zen Master, only a sliver away from becoming a King Buddha.

Yanshan had only just realized the Arhat rank, vastly inferior to Master Guangming. Despite being the most talented genius from Wuxiang Zen Temple in five hundred years, this collision was like an egg striking a rock.

Many Great Zen Masters wanted to intervene and take control of the situation, but as soon as they tried to mobilize their Divine Light, they found that their Golden Bodies seemed to be sealed.

The only one capable of this here was the South Heavenly Buddha himself. Could it be he was displeased with Yanshan’s arrogance and wanted to teach him a lesson?

With Golden Bodies manifesting obstructed, the Zen Masters could only watch as Yanshan’s Treasure Appearance Arhat crashed into Guangming Bodhisattva’s chest.

Because the clash of identical ranks is the most brutal, a fundamental collision with no room for compromise.

The loser would certainly shatter, and the winner would not emerge unscathed. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Zen cultivation families would never determine victory using such a direct and violent method, let alone an underdog taking on a higher opponent.

Listening to the clang, like the clash of metal, while the Zen Masters admired the tenacity of their ranks, they couldn’t help but silently lament the fall of a new star in Buddha’s Country.

Even though the Golden Body manifested through visualization could be reshaped, the consensus among the capable in Buddha’s realm is that the first forged Golden Body is the most solid. If shattered and remade, it’s rare to surpass the tenacity of the first.

Yanshan’s visualized Treasure Appearance Arhat Fruit Rank colliding with Guangming Bodhisattva’s Gold Body to this extent proves the toughness comparable to the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra Gold Body. No wonder the Buddha Master of Wuxiang Zen Temple had conferred him the title of Treasure Appearance Adorned Golden-body Arhat Buddha. Unfortunately for this disciple of Zen with boundless potentials, he chose the wrong opponent.

With numerous solemn Treasure Appearance Features and looking identical to Yanshan, the Arhat Fruit Rank clenched a mudra, bathed in primordial treasure light, vaguely in the shape of a glaze purifying bottle.

And Guangming Bodhisattva, resembling the Master of Guangming Zen Temple by a third or fourth, sat on a thirty-six-petalled golden lotus throne, holding the Lion’s Fearlessness Mudra in his hand, his eyes filled with empathy as if they could see the sufferings of all six realms. His face bore a majestic and vigorous smile, a confidence in his own indestructibility.

“Clang!”

Another collision resounded like a morning bell, the primordial treasure light around Treasure Appearance Arhat dispersed, and Guanming Bodhisattva stood as sturdy and dignified as the beginning, with a backdrop of dazzling light thousands of feet long.

As the protective Divine Light scattered with nothing else to support the rank, many Zen Masters in the Buddha Pavilion turned their heads, unable to bear the sight of what was to come.

“Thud!”

A more muffled collision, surprisingly without a shattering sound, aroused the curiosity of Zen Masters who turned to look, only to see the Treasure Appearance Arhat shattering Guangming Bodhisattva’s backlight.

“Thud!!”

Another loud sound and the Guangming Bodhisattva seated on the thirty-six-petalled golden lotus throne was pushed back by the Treasure Appearance Arhat, stunning the sitting Zen Masters into standing up.

“Thud!”

“Thud!!”

“Thud!!!”

After three successive bell-like thuds, the Guangming Bodhisattva’s Gold Body, previously thought to be invincible by the Zen Masters, began to twist and deform. The caved-in chest was astonishingly empty.

The deformed Guangming Bodhisattva was pushed to the edge of the Buddha Pavilion with nowhere to retreat, confronted by the relentlessly advancing Treasure Appearance Arhat, the usually impassive Buddha face surprisingly showed a hint of panic.

Treasure Appearance Arhat, paying no heed, struck another heavy blow on the deformed Bodhisattva.

“Clang!”

“Crack!”

Just like a glaze lamp shattering on the ground, Treasure Appearance Arhat with twelve mighty hammers broke through the illusions within the Bodhi Fruit Rank.

Those fluttering golden fragments looked splendid, with the expressions on the Zen Masters’ faces even more spectacular.

Treasure Appearance Arhat turned to South Heavenly Buddha, without speaking, but every Zen Master seemed to hear the words Yanshan wanted to say.

Illusions, after all, are just illusions.

The Arhat Dharma Aspect tore through the grand illusion that had been maintained in Buddha’s Country for a thousand years.

“Glory is eternal, Nirvana is reunited!”

Master Guangming, with his rank shattered, looked ashen. His three mudras whirling, the golden fragments dancing in the Buddha Pavilion suddenly spiraled, forming a vortex that revealed the brilliant Bodhisattva Samantabhadra Gold Body again.

But the now Master Guangming was no longer as proud as before, hastily retracting his Aspect before asking Yanshan, “What rank is this?”

“Reporting to Master Guangming, this is the Arahant rank,” Yanshan replied, hands pressed together in salute, calmly stating after a bow.

“Impossible, there can be no Arahant rank so tenacious in this world!” Guangming, thinking Yanshan was being facetious, said angrily, “What kind of Arhat rank… within your rank…”

“Does the Zen Master want to ask why Yanshan’s Arhat rank is not empty inside?” Yanshan answered with a smile, then looked around at the Zen Masters in the Buddha Pavilion and said, “Great Zen Masters, the reason my rank is not empty is that, this rank was not visualized.”

“Not visualized?” Master Guangming was stunned: “What do you mean by that?”

“Seeing the true nature, the Arhat arises naturally!” With hands pressed together, the monk Yanshan overlaid with the phantom of Treasure Appearance Arhat, stated magnificently, “Yanshan is the Treasure Appearance Arhat, the Treasure Appearance Arhat is also Yanshan. This rank is not a divinity hidden within the skin of a monk…”
