Buddha is the Tao

Zhou Qing ran as fast as he could. With a flick of his four flesh wings, he traveled 280,000 miles. The journey of hundreds of thousands of miles was just a blink of an eye. With such a high speed, even Maitreya Buddha could not catch up with him. What's more, Maitreya Buddha was intercepted halfway. In an instant, Zhou Qing didn't know where he ran to. If he wanted to catch up again, I'm afraid only the Buddha of the West, Amitabha, could come in person. Maitreya Buddha was still a little short.

The universe in the palm of the hand, the Buddha Kingdom in the Sand, was originally to create an endless space, but it also takes time. A snap of the fingers is sixty instants, but Zhou Qing escaped from control in less than an instant, and Maitreya Buddha did not have the ability to expand the Buddha Kingdom in the Sand so quickly.

Zhou Qing's body was looming as he flew, as if he was passing in and out of space. This was a unique skill of the Great Witch of the Past. Even the Heavenly Ghost Body of the Blue God was not even one ten-thousandth of that. It was impossible to maintain such a fast speed and fly in a space. The Buddha-level masters of Buddhism were all masters of controlling space, but they were still far behind the ancient ancestor witches. Zhou Qing obtained the remaining spiritual consciousness of the ancestor witch, and comprehended the magical power of the changes of the heavenly way, and transformed into the body of the ancestor witch. If it were not for his insufficient strength, he would have almost reached the level of the ancestor witch.

With such a fast speed, the mana consumed could not be calculated in quantity, and there was no time to replenish it in an instant. In this way, even a cultivator at the level of a celestial being would probably be drained of all his true essence in an instant. Zhou Qing's flesh wings moved dozens of times in a row, and the true essence and mana gathered in his body were already at the point of exhaustion. Now he was relying on absorbing the power of the twelve demon gods to maintain his flight. Waves of huge pain came from his body, as if he was about to burst.

Cultivation is a gradual process, and the iron rod becomes a needle, especially for masters after becoming immortals. Although Zhou Qing's current body is almost immortal, it is still inevitable to explode and die if he wants to contain all the power of the twelve ancestor witches in an instant. Fortunately, the consumption during flight is huge. Every time the flesh wings flap, the body calms down a little. Knowing that he has escaped from the control of Maitreya Buddha, Zhou Qing is happy and calms down to slowly calm down the violent power in his body.

In any case, he won the bet. Although he lost some face at the beginning, he finally got back the place.

"As Maitreya Buddha, I will not break my promise. Although I lost, after all, I haven't lost everything. Forget it, I am not the opponent of that fat man now. When he bullies too much, I will definitely twist off his head and use it as a stool when I refine the twelve ancestor witches." Zhou Qing and Liao Xiaojin, the master and apprentice, have the same idea.

Zhou Qing was furious, but he completely ignored how many people noticed his abnormal flight.

His body was damaged by the impact of the power of the twelve witch ancestors, and dark blood kept flowing out of Zhou Qing's seven orifices, and then burned again. Fortunately, he had been tempered by the magic fire for ten years, so this was a piece of cake for him.

A ball of dark flames about a thousand feet high cut through the void between heaven and earth. The powerful and even terrifying power moved some Taoist priests, monsters, demons, and monks who had cultivated to the status of gods on the ground. They didn't know what happened, so they all flew out of the caves, temples, and Taoist temples where they lived, wanting to investigate the situation and see what they had discovered.

But the speed of the black fire was so fast that even its shadow could not be seen. The cultivators were only alerted in their hearts. When they flew out again, the sky was empty. Only the ancient immortals with special magical powers could catch a little clue, but they did not have the ability to catch up to see what was going on.

"What is this? It is even faster than the speed of the Great Peng Ming Wang?"

Countless bird monsters practicing in the mountains were very surprised, including some monster kings with profound Taoism. Birds have achieved immortality. Because of their own advantages, their flying speed is much faster than that of ordinary immortals. That is why they can feel the horror of this speed. Even the king of birds, the Great Peng Ming Wang, can only fly more than 90,000 miles when he spreads his wings, while Zhou Qing's speed is almost three times faster. In terms of speed alone, I am afraid he is the first in the Three Realms.

Gradually, Zhou Qing used all his mind and finally returned the power of the twelve witch ancestors to the Hades flag. His body slowly changed back to human form. Of course, the huge and terrifying aura disappeared, and Zhou Qing's own true essence and magic power had long disappeared. He was not as good as an ordinary immortal, and of course he did not attract the attention of any powerful creatures.

Along the way, he crossed the ocean, flew over countless mountains and rivers, cities and countries, and after countless scenes, Zhou Qing's body was numb and slowly landed on a white beach. He only felt weak and numb, and he couldn't even move a finger. He didn't know where he was, but at least he was hundreds of millions of miles away from the Black Wind Mountain.

Only the input of the power of the twelve witch ancestors could maintain such a speed, but Zhou Qing's body couldn't bear it. After this trip, Zhou Qing had suffered the most serious injury since he became an immortal. Now Zhou Qing, it is difficult for external forces to hurt him, and only he can hurt himself.

The fresh sea breeze with a fishy and salty smell blew over. Zhou Qing was lying on the edge of the beach. The sky was blue, the sun was high above his head, and the white beach stretched for thousands of miles. There were only countless kinds of seabirds, flying in the sky or stopping on the beach to hunt. Huge turtles crawled out of the shallow sea and dried their shells on the beach. They were full of vitality, but there were no people. Behind the beach was a tall forest and mountain range. It seemed to be a piece of land, but it was unknown how big it was. There were a few black spots in the distance of the sea, which were obviously islands.

"Mao Yue Xingguan, why don't you come down to rescue!" Zhou Qing lay on his back, looking at the sun in the sky, and sighed in his heart.

The earthly immortal world has the sun, moon and stars just like the human world, but not as many as the human world. There are 365 constellations and 28 constellations, which are controlled by the gods of various tribes and reincarnate according to the number of Zhoutian. And this Mao Yue Xingguan is the god who watches over the rising and setting of the sun.

When the world was first created, the universe was split apart. First there were the sun, moon, and stars, and then there were the gods. These gods in heaven were just nominal guardians, living in it to practice, and could have a slight impact.

The heaven and earth are one and the same, and the two are connected. The human world also had a heaven, but it was destroyed in the battle between the ancestors of witches, and then it was transferred to the earthly world. In ancient times, there was a pillar connecting the heaven and the earth, and that was it.

The Yuan Ling of the ancient ancestors of witches has the most profound understanding of the universe. Zhou Qing knows that as long as he has enough power and gets all the Yuan Ling, he can refine the earth, fire, water, and wind based on this knowledge and create a perfect world.

Now Zhou Qing has lost all his power. The star official of Maoyue in the heaven can't hear Zhou Qing's words, let alone the heaven and earth. Let alone Zhou Qing, the Great Emperor Gou Chen, even if the Jade Emperor is in trouble, the gods in the sky can hardly notice it.

Zhou Qing doesn't even have the power to call the mountain gods and the land. He can only silently practice and regulate his breath to recover by himself.

Zhou Qing couldn't move. While absorbing the thick water elemental force around him, he observed the surrounding scenery. Suddenly, several fiery red foxes jumped out of the woods in the distance, pounced on the seabirds resting on the beach, grabbed a few seagulls, and ate them with relish.

"What a great place. Where in the world can you find such scenery?"

Suddenly, he felt indescribably happy, without the slightest burden of pressure. The water elemental force around him slowly gathered through Zhou Qing's mind, and entered his body bit by bit. The cool breath rolled around, and his injuries were relieved a lot.

The sea water rushed up from time to time, gradually dragging Zhou Qing down to the shallow sea one foot deep. Countless sea crabs crawled around, and dense small fish shuttled around. Some even drilled into Zhou Qing's ears and nostrils.

The sun and the moon cycled, and the tides alternated. After a few days, Zhou Qing recovered a little, but the ebb and flow of the tide washed Zhou Qing into the deep sea.

Not to mention Zhou Qing was healing in Quanli. Maitreya Buddha saw someone blocking the way and stopped. Seeing the pomp and circumstance, he understood in his heart and sat on the lotus platform and said, "I made a bet with Emperor Gou Chen. Could it be that Emperor Ziwei is also interested?"

Emperor Ziwei got off the seven-fragrance carriage with a dragon and tiger Ruyi in his hand. He was eight feet tall, dressed in imperial clothes, with a face like jade, and indescribably handsome, almost perfect. Before becoming a god, Emperor Ziwei was the most beautiful man in the world. He played fairy music instruments and no one could match him. After becoming a god, he became even more handsome. He was an elegant emperor. As for his own strength, there was no rumor that he was so powerful.

"Buddha from the East, you are in charge of the East Heaven of Bliss and live in the Longhua Bright World. You are a generation of masters. Although I have been ordered by the Yuanshi Tianzun to be in charge of the North Pole Zhongtian, I am also a junior of the Buddha..." Emperor Ziwei bowed to Maitreya Buddha.

"Ah! The Emperor Ziwei is in charge of the Heavenly Palace, which is the Taoist sect, and I am in charge of the Eastern Paradise of Bliss, which is the Buddhist sect. We are from different sects, but we are all friends in cultivation. There is no distinction between senior and junior." Upon hearing this, Maitreya Buddha quickly got off the lotus platform, returned the greeting, and interrupted what the Emperor Ziwei was about to say.

If the Emperor Ziwei considers himself a junior, Maitreya and Zhou Qing's bet is bullying the weak, which is bound to be a pretext, and Maitreya certainly does not dare to accept it.

"Although there are two sects of Taoism, their principles are unified. If the human heart is in harmony with the way of heaven, there is no difference between Buddhism and Taoism. The golden elixir and the relics are the same in benevolence and righteousness. The three religions are originally one family. Buddhism is originally Taoism, and the Buddha from the East is worthy of it." The Emperor Ziwei laughed.

"Good! Good! Good! The four emperors of the heaven are indeed extraordinary people. The Emperor Gou Chen can actually jump out of the palm of this poor monk. This bet is lost by this poor monk. The three fairies also come to join in the fun. It is really beyond my expectation!" Maitreya laughed.

The three fairies who followed the world were Lady Yunxiao, Lady Bixiao, and Lady Qiongxiao. They held the Golden Bowl of the Primordial Chaos. After the Conferred Gods Battle, they became subordinates to the Emperor Ziwei. The three ladies wore Taoist robes and Taoist nuns. Lady Yunxiao opened the Golden Bowl of the Primordial Chaos, released the big bird Garuda, and returned to the Buddha Kingdom.

He sneered, "The Buddha from the East used the power of the Eight Heavenly Dragons to control the universe. It was indeed a good trick."

"Since the bet is over, I have something else to do. I will invite the Emperor Ziwei and the three fairies to my Longhua event on another day."

Maitreya Buddha didn't seem to want to talk more. He set up the lotus platform and was about to go to the West. This time, he was a little embarrassed. He went out in person, but he didn't subdue Zhou Qing, and he also lost the top of Liangjie Mountain. As Maitreya, he couldn't do the thing of shirking his debt.

Seeing the Dragon and Tiger Ruyi in the hands of Ziwei Emperor, Maitreya also knew that there was no hope for this matter, and it backfired. He went back to find a way.

Longhua Festival is the same as Yulanpen Festival. Maitreya lectures on the sutras and invites monks from the three realms to listen to the sutras and enjoy the banquet.

"Buddha, please go slowly. Please say hello to the Buddha of Burning Lamp for us sisters. My brother Zhao Gongming said that the Taoist of Burning Lamp borrowed my 24 Dinghai Pearls to achieve enlightenment. Now it's time to return them."

Niangniang Qiongxiao said loudly. Maitreya Buddha was a little embarrassed. He didn't say anything and fled to the west. In a blink of an eye, he disappeared.

"Sister, this fat monk is thin-skinned and still needs some face, unlike the old rogue of the Taoist of Burning Lamp, who is extremely shameless." Seeing Maitreya Buddha leaving, Niangniang Qiongxiao made a few more sarcastic remarks, and Niangniang Yunxiao said with a sword.

"Go back!" Ziwei heard Sanniang talking and hurriedly got on the Qixiang Lane.

"Emperor, this time we are just trying to prevent Maitreya Buddha from jumping over the wall. I didn't expect that Maitreya Buddha is one of the few Buddhas in the Western Heaven who cares about face. It's rare. I heard that Emperor has recently created a new music score. We sisters want to listen to it first!" Niangniang Bixiao said with a smile.

"No problem, just ask the three empresses for advice!" Ziwei said with a smile. In front of them, eight heavenly horses pulled the carriage, and the sound of the piano continued all the way to the heaven.

"Senior sister, master's wife, the master has won the bet with the fat monk. He asked us to return to the palace to recuperate, reorganize the demon soldiers, and flatten the hills west of the Liangjie Pass." Liao Xiaojin suddenly shook his body and said with a happy face.

"What, the master won!" Although Wen Lanxin and others have cultivated into immortals, they are not up to the level of Maitreya Buddha. Of course, they don't know the situation. Several people waited in front of Black Wind Mountain for several days and nights, but there was no news, and they were anxious.

Liao Xiaojin refined Chiyou's bloodline, and Zhou Qing's Heavenly Dao Scroll had telepathy, which could resonate with Liao Xiaojin. Zhou Qing recovered some of his skills and passed the situation to Liao Xiaojin.

Yunxia called Dulong and several demon kings to come, and passed on some magic weapons. Liao Xiaojin led 100,000 demon soldiers, organized the training, and rolled towards the Cuizhu Mountain with a radius of 20,000 miles next to him.

"Come out, Night Wanderer!"

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the sea. As the waves rose and fell, the moonlight and the stars shone, and all of them entered Zhou Qing's body, repairing the damaged parts. The damage was too severe. Zhou Qing used his skills to gather the energy of heaven and earth to repair it. Although he recovered a little, he still didn't see any improvement later. The power of the stars and the moon had a miraculous effect on healing, so Zhou Qing floated to the surface of the sea at night to absorb it. But gathering it bit by bit was really too much effort.

"Greetings to Emperor Gou Chen!" The Night Wandering God was finally replaced, and he knelt down when he saw Zhou Qing.

"Go to heaven and ask the Jade Emperor to ask all the stars to open the power of the stars to help me heal my wounds. Just say that this emperor had a bet with Maitreya Buddha, and although he won, he was slightly injured, and asked the Jade Emperor for help." Zhou Qing ordered.

If he absorbed it this way, his injuries would be delayed for at least a few years. Zhou Qing suddenly thought of using his identity to do something.

The Night Wandering God immediately went to heaven and reported to the Jade Emperor.

"What do you think we should do about this matter?" The Jade Emperor asked Taibai Jinxing.

"The Emperor Gou Chen has been very powerful recently, and he has won the bet with the Buddha from the East. Since he has come to ask your majesty, why don't you give him a favor, so that it will be easier to talk to him in the future." Taibai Jinxing said.

"In this way, the power of the moon and stars will be fully opened, wouldn't it be a benefit to the demon kings and monsters who are practicing below? Besides, I have already transferred the mountains, rivers, and the country to the Doumu Palace. With the help of the moon and stars, the heavenly soldiers inside are progressing very fast. One less day will be a huge loss." The Jade Emperor pondered.

"It is good that the demon kings below are benefited, but it is the business of Emperor Gou Chen. Anyway, this Taoist has received the talisman of Yuanshi Tianzun, and will go to war with the demons sooner or later. Your Majesty may benefit from it. Suffering a little loss is nothing." Taibai Jinxing said.

"Well, as you said, you go and pass the order to open all the stars in the sky to help Emperor Gou Chen heal his wounds." The Jade Emperor said.

In the middle of the heaven, 365 huge spheres are arranged in the void according to the number of Zhoutian. Each sphere is more than 100 million miles long and wide. Two of them are one yin and one yang, emitting huge and terrifying power, shining directly on the earthly immortal world below. It is the sun and the moon.

It is unknown who used great magical powers to seal the spiritual energy of these spheres one by one, and only a small part of it flowed out. It was mixed into the spiritual energy below, so that the cultivators in the lower world could collect and practice.

The biggest advantage of the Heavenly Court is that it controls the essence of the stars, the sun and the moon. Only by obtaining the essence of the sun and the moon can one start the first step of cultivation. If the spirit animals in the lower world collect enough essence of the stars, the sun and the moon, they will become monsters.

The essence of the stars, the sun and the moon is different from the general spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and its effect is far greater than the spiritual energy.

Guanghan Palace is stationed on the moon. Although it has a radius of thousands of miles, it looks like a speck of dust on a basketball from a distance. It is very small. Taibai Jinxing passed the imperial edict one by one, and the star gods of the 365 Zhoutian opened their seals.

Crash! Crash! It's like the sky is hanging upside down, and the stars and moonlight rush down.

The cultivators and monsters in the earthly world were dumbfounded that night. They didn't know what was wrong with the heavenly court. However, no one had time to think about it. They all used their skills to collect so many essences of the stars. One night's work could fully resist ten years of hard training.

After waiting for a day, Zhou Qing saw that the moonlight of the stars finally increased to an incredible level. He immediately realized that the Jade Emperor had given him a favor. He was overjoyed and hurriedly used his profound skills to collect them to restore his skills. Unexpectedly, he gradually alarmed a demon under the sea...
