I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

“The eldest senior brother has been reincarnated!”

“The eldest senior brother?”

Dajue Arhat was slightly startled, then came to a realization and said, “You mean you’ve seen the reincarnated body of Sanzang?”

“Indeed.”

Fa Ding recounted everything he had seen and heard, including the conversation with Sun Changsheng, without missing a word, “How could there be another person in this world so alike? Even without the awakening of past wisdom, it must be the reincarnation of our eldest senior brother!”

“Not to mention his mastery of Buddhist Law, and understanding of the three teachings, it’s just that overwhelming karmic force that is unmatched.”

Dajue Arhat pondered for a moment and said, “The fact that he has not yet awakened his past wisdom is a good thing. Otherwise, given his temperament, he would indifferently brush aside all things, all schemes and machinations fall apart in the absence of desire, don’t they?”

Upon hearing the words ‘schemes and machinations’, Fa Ding frowned and said, “What are you planning to do, brother?”

Dajue Arhat said, “The Heavenly Court has become too powerful to defy, even reaching into the realm of the three teachings. It’s time to teach them a lesson, to make the Heavenly Emperor rein in!”

Fa Ding shook his head and said, “The might of the Heavenly Court is righteous and grand, with no room for resistance. Let alone our eldest senior brother, even if you united with the other two human immortals, you could only maintain a balance at best.”

“Amitabha!”

Dajue Arhat chanted a Buddhist invocation and sighed deeply, “Has my brother already marginalized himself from Buddhism?”

Fa Ding hurriedly bowed and said, “Your disciple dare not, I am but a monk under Buddha’s charge. I would support you, brother, even if it meant death and destruction of my Dao or the scattering of my soul with no chance for reincarnation.”

The three teachings were different from other great religions—they had their ancestors above them and dared not side with the Heavenly Court.

“That is very well.”

Dajue Arhat said, “You’ve seen the current Heavenly Court; it’s not like it used to be. Harsh heavenly edicts have led to widespread resentment in the Cultivation World. While it appears that the Cultivation World is flourishing more than ever, many sects have been extinguished, with only the Heavenly Court prospering alone.”

“Such enormous karmic responsibility, even if I do not instigate it, outsiders will inevitably rebel against the Heavenly Court!”

“What you say makes sense, brother.”

Fa Ding agreed with Dajue Arhat’s words. As the saying goes, extremes are bound to reverse; oppression for too long will naturally breed resistance, and even gods understand this principle.

But with the Heavenly Court as it is today, like a torrential flood that cannot be stemmed in the slightest, they must constantly seek ways to divert it. Such as reclaiming the strings of Immortal Register, reducing the quotas of Daoist institutions, and enforcing stringent heavenly ordinances and laws. ȐÅƝÔΒÊṧ

The root cause of all this is the increasingly growing demand for incense divine power by the Heavenly Court, with more Righteous Gods waiting in line to use the Incense Flame Deification Technique for promotion.

Upon promotion, their lifespan greatly increases. On the one hand, they need to enhance their stipends, and on the other hand, they also seek to ascend to True God status.

In the Dongsheng Divine Continent governed by the Heavenly Court, the number of living beings has skyrocketed, yet the supply of incense divine power has its limits. The Righteous Gods’ demand for incense divine power is limitless, thus they opt for nothing but relentless exploitation.

Such is the overwhelming trend; there is no choice!

Fa Ding pondered for a moment and thought it would be better for those who resist the Heavenly Court to be led by Buddhism. This way, they could not only chastise the Heavenly Court but also keep the destructive power within a controllable range.

“However, our eldest senior brother has only just achieved the rank of Divinity Transformation and cannot pose any threat to the Heavenly Court.”

“Then we’ll have to enhance his strength.”

Dajue Arhat took out an Arhat relic from his sleeve and said, “This item was bestowed by Yin Guang Luohan and later safeguarded by Universal Salvation Arhat. Now that it has come into my hands, it is time to return it to the Heavenly Master!”

Fa Ding was shocked and said, “Do you intend to use that Art of Reincarnation?”

“Precisely.”

Dajue Arhat said, “This relic embodies the life-long Buddhist Law insights of an Arhat. By merging into the Heavenly Master’s body, it is equivalent to being reborn through reincarnation, and he can easily break through to the realm beyond Void-Return.”

Fa Ding said, “This will sever the eldest senior brother’s Dao!”

To merge with the Arhat relic, to put it nicely, is to inherit the Buddhist Law, but to put it bluntly, it is the intrusion of external forces, which will taint the cultivator’s essence and spirit. After breaking through the Void-Return stage, one’s mana can no longer improve by the slightest bit.

“If it were anyone else, indeed it would cut off their Dao. However, it is different for the Heavenly Master.”

Dajue Arhat said, “That overwhelming karmic force has already made his ascension hopeless. Better than risking life and limb to strive for Void-Return, it is more secure to rely on external forces to break through.”

“When the longevity is exhausted, and he is reincarnated once more, the Arhat lineage will still be there!”

“Amitabha!”

Fa Ding chanted the Buddhist invocation and thought it over carefully. Indeed, it would be beneficial to the eldest senior brother. The odds of ascending from Divinity Transformation to Void-Return were slim to none, while merging with the Arhat relics was harmless and beneficial.

“How can we get the eldest senior brother to merge with it?”

“This matter still requires the aid of the Severing Heaven Sect for arrangement.”

Dajue Arhat said, “Everything must be flawless and seem preordained, or else the overwhelming Karmic force will backlash… and the path to my ascension will surely encounter calamity!”

Fa Ding shook his head, saying, “No need to be so cautious, I have seen the evil aura with my own eyes; it is already unable to threaten Immortals.”

“Hmm?”

The brows of Dajue Arhat furrowed as he asked, “What happened? Such Karmic force cannot be diminished in just one lifetime!”

Fa Ding, sensing the unusual tone, countered, “Is there something you’re hiding from me, elder brother?”

“This matter was personally entrusted to me by the Universal Salvation Arhat at the time of his ascension.”

Dajue Arhat did not conceal it and said, “Our Buddhist Law has methods of salvation, indeed requiring that boundless Karmic force to accumulate merits. By eradicating it, our sect is sure to have several more Ascending Arhats.”

Fa Ding said, “Then I must disappoint elder brother. The eldest brother presiding over Divine Enthronement and establishing the Heavenly Court is a grand blessing for Dongsheng Divine Continent, which should erase a great portion of the Karmic force.”

“What can be erased can also be increased…”

Dajue Arhat said somberly, “As long as he turns the Heavenly Court gods upside down and wages war again on Dongsheng Divine Continent, causing boundless catastrophes, it’s uncertain whether the Karmic force will exceed that of the previous life!”

“Amitabha Buddha!”

Fa Ding scolded, “Elder brother, such actions, they can be considered devilish!”

“This is not devilish, nor is it solely for Buddhism; it is also for the Heavenly Court,” Dajue Arhat replied.

He asked, “The creatures of Dongsheng Divine Continent, living in peace and prosperity, is the incense offered to the Heavenly Court not becoming less and less?”

Fa Ding said, “This situation is normal, we can simply promote the Heavenly Court Righteous Gods more, and it will increase.”

Since the millennium of peace began in Dongsheng Divine Continent, ordinary beings, especially the human race, offered less incense to the Heavenly Court than during its initial establishment!

A lack of incense offerings to the Heavenly Court was also a significant reason.

“Do not deceive yourself. People say believers seek Buddha’s feet in times of trouble only; with no disasters and no difficulties, why would they offer incense?”

Dajue Arhat said, “Ordinary immortals accumulate merits; the good ones provide talismans, water, and Spirit Pills, while the bad clandestinely create natural and man-made disasters. The Heavenly Court harvests merits by promoting catastrophes in the Divine Continent, and then resolving these catastrophes!”

“Elder brother, you’ve become devilish!”

As Fa Ding’s Divine Power circulated and his True God form manifested, his hands came together, ready to suppress Dajue Arhat.

Unconcerned, Dajue Arhat slowly said, “Let me ask you, how much is the deficit of the incense power willing of the Heavenly Court?”

“This…”

Fa Ding, serving as the Right Assistant Minister of Revenue, clearly knew the deficiency in the incense needs of the Righteous Gods, a gap so vast it could topple the Heavenly Court.

Dajue Arhat then asked, “Moreover, when you often go down to the earthly realm to preach, have you noticed the price of Spiritual Objects and Spirit Pills compared to a thousand years ago?”

“The prices have increased more than tenfold!”

Fa Ding sighed, slowly retracting his True God form, as this was a question he had always failed to understand.

The Heavenly Court continuously issued Heavenly Edicts, restricting cultivators to the extent that the threshold to pursue immortality was raised by a thousand-fold, yet the resources for cultivation were still scarce. The seemingly stable, prosperous, and flourishing Cultivation World was like a powder keg.

Only the high echelons of the Heavenly Court, or those old fellows who had lived from its establishment until now, could vaguely feel the ominous air of calamity spreading.

“A thousand years of stability has led to an overabundance of creatures in Dongsheng Divine Continent, more than ten times what it was back then!”

Dajue Arhat said, “Moreover, with the Heavenly Court’s governance, the lifespans of cultivators have generally reached their limits; very few die from dueling or slaughter, and correspondingly, more breakthroughs in cultivation occur.”

“With an increase in one aspect and a decrease in another, the discrepancy is enormous. Which cultivator does not need Spirit Stones or Spirit Pills?”

“The Heavenly Court is maintaining now, but once it can no longer sustain, it will lead to an epochal calamity that can destroy Dongsheng Divine Continent!”

Visions of Corpse Mountain Blood Sea flashed before Fa Ding’s eyes, the shattering of the Divine Continent followed by the descent of the degenerate age, the prosperity of the Cultivation World turning into nothingness. He uttered a Buddha’s name and asked.

“In elder brother’s view, what should be done?”

Dajue Arhat said.

“Actively promote the great calamity, reduce the billions of lives, and alleviate the pressure on the Cultivation World!”
