Chapter 451: Chapter 337: Martyr

"Give him some time!" the Supreme of the Dao Realm declared in a deep voice, "If anything happens, I will bear all the responsibilities!"

The other Supremes remained silent, though unwilling, they still showed face to the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

"Thank you!" said the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm, looking towards those beings bathed in the Buddhist light.

"Awaken!"

Whoosh!

A breeze blew, and those immersed in the comprehension of the Great Path slowly came to their senses at that moment.

Boom!

A Buddhist practitioner broke through their boundaries!

And their breakthrough, like igniting a flame, led to successive breakthroughs among the listeners of the teachings.

There were breakthroughs to the Quasi-Saint status and also Quasi-Saints ascending to Saints.

Perhaps the momentum of a single breakthrough wasn’t so grand, but when gathered together, they formed a spectacular surge of breakthroughs!

This magnificent spectacle left countless beings within the chaos envious, wishing they were the ones breaking through.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a golden lotus, conglomerated by Buddhist light, burst into bloom.

With twenty-four petals unfolding, faint Buddhist chants cleansed the soul.

"Has someone in the Buddhist Realm broken through to become a Saint Emperor?"

Shortly after, an old monk with a benevolent countenance appeared from within the golden lotus of Buddhist light.

It was the Sage King Buddha, who often journeyed through the Myriad Realms on behalf of the Buddhist Realm.

No!

He should now be addressed as the Sage Emperor Buddha!

"Yuan Jue, thanks to the Supreme!" Yuan Jue bowed to the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm.

"Thank you, Supreme!" The Buddhist practitioners also spoke in unison, expressing their gratitude, for their achievements today were made possible by the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm.

"Your breakthroughs are merely a matter of fate arriving; no need to thank me." The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm sighed, then looked towards Yuan Jue, "You have been my most loyal servant, and it is I who have held you back!"

"The Supreme speaks too gravely; without your guidance, Yuan Jue would not have achieved what he has today." As he spoke, Yuan Jue paused briefly, then asked solemnly, "Supreme, have you made up your mind?"

"I was originally Dao Kong from the Dao Realm, it was only after comprehending the Buddhist Law that I became the Buddha Lord. I have journeyed on the Great Path, never stopping.

Now that the Great Path has ended, my Buddhist heart is dead; more words are pointless. You also need not dwell on it any longer; I entrust the Buddhist Realm to you..."

As he spoke these words, there was not a hint of sadness, seemingly even a sense of relief.

However, the powerful beings of the chaotic Myriad Realms were shocked upon hearing this.

"What does the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm mean? The Buddhist Realm is entrusted to Yuan Jue? What about him..."

Even the other Supremes were somewhat surprised, what exactly did the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm intend to do?

Wasn’t it said that he had betrayed and sought to severely damage the Primordial Source of All Heavens?

But it didn’t seem that way now!

At this moment, countless Buddhist practitioners seemed to have realized something too, all appearing sorrowful.

Without waiting for the Supremes to think further, the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm summoned with a gesture. The Pagoda, a treasure of chaos, then hovered above his head.

Though I depart, this treasure will forever stabilize the Buddhist Realm!"

The Pagoda transformed into streaks of light, quickly merging into the Buddhist Realm.

Following that, the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm looked towards the distance and spoke softly, "Once I swore to illuminate the chaotic Myriad Realms with the Buddhist light, and I have achieved that! The Great Path has ended, and I have no more attachments, no reason to hesitate."

Speaking thus, he solemnly faced the Supreme of the Dao Realm and bowed, "Thank you, teacher, for the grace of teaching and resolving my doubts!"

The Supreme of the Dao Realm appeared stunned, seemingly already suspecting something.

The other many Supremes also suddenly realized something, feeling shocked.

Then, under the gaze of many, a bridge of light appeared before the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm.

A bridge leading to an unknown destination, one that even the Supremes couldn’t see the end of, as if it led to the other shore of the Great Path.

The next moment, the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm stepped onto it.

In the chaos, yet another radiance burst forth.

But this time it wasn’t just the Buddhist light; it seemed like the radiance of the Great Path, illuminating All Heavens.

One step!

Two steps!

...

The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm walked with both freedom and weight.

The moment he stepped onto the light bridge, an image began to emerge across the chaotic Myriad Realms.

In the image, an old man and a young boy.

"Teacher, what exactly is the Dao?" asked the young Taoist.

"The Dao is both one and many, both singular and infinite, both the origin and the end, even I cannot fully expound the true meaning of the Dao," replied the old man with a smile.

"Then teacher, what does it mean to achieve the Dao?" the young Taoist continued to ask.

The old man paused slightly, then, after a moment, laughed, "To achieve the Dao is too vague a concept. Some think becoming a Saint is achieving the Dao, others think it is entering the Realm of the Holy Emperor.

The Dao is defined differently by each individual; everyone has their different Dao.

If one blindly follows another’s Dao, then one’s achievements will be limited."

"I will definitely carve out my own Dao in the future, one even greater than my teacher’s!" When this image appeared, the entire chaos fell silent.

For they recognized that the old man was the Supreme of the Dao Realm!

And the young Daoist, unsurprisingly, was the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm.

"So it turns out that when the Respected Daoist was teaching the Buddha Lord back then, he had already sown the seeds of opening up the Buddhist path, and what’s more significant is that the Buddha Lord succeeded!"

In the Myriad Realms Epoch, there were only nine Supremes.

Some say that the Buddha Lord’s starting point was originally high, directly transmitted by the Supreme, inheriting the fortunes of the Dao Realm.

With the best resources and the best teacher, but in reality, that was also a kind of shackle.

The Supreme of the Buddhist Realm, shrouded by the Way of the Dao Realm, being able to open up the Buddhist path, shows how much courage and perseverance were needed.

Seeing this scene, the Supreme of the Dao Realm’s eyes flickered with reminiscence.

On the bridge of light, the Supreme of the Buddhist Realm turned back and knelt, bowing thrice towards the Supreme of the Dao Realm.

The Supreme, to some extent, represents the fortunes of an Epoch.
