Chapter 179: Copying Buddhist Scriptures 10,000 times

At Eastern Wilderness’ Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground, Little Spirit Mountain Boundary...

Buddhist light shone radiantly at the paradise the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground had created.

At the spatial door, which was the sacred ground’s entrance, was a Seven Treasure Glazed Buddha Mirror. This mirror was inlaid with Purple Gold, Snow Silver, Azure Stone, Water Essence, Giant Clam, Coral, and Agate.

These were Sonic Thunder’s seven treasures. They were all supreme-grade as compared to other precious treasures of the same type, and they were enhanced by Sonic Thunder’s Holy Monks.

The Buddhist light would shine onto anyone that entered the door, and they would be able to forget all their troubles and have a calm mind, free of worries.

The light of this Glazed Buddha Mirror could reach even 100 kilometers away, covering half of the sky.

At the foot of the mountain in the distance were devout Buddhist believers. They were the most fanatic ascetic believers that had arrived at the sect after walking for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Among those people, there was no lack of cultivators who were quite powerful and could use Sword Kinesis Flight.

However, to express one’s devoutness, they walked from tens of thousands of kilometers away and kowtowed with every three steps.

This was the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground. It belonged to one of the top supreme sacred grounds, even amongst Eastern Wilderness’ 12 sacred grounds.

It had the West Desert Buddhism Sect, which had immeasurable resources and manpower.

...

Near the Little Spirit Mountain Boundary, at the Sonic Thunder Buddhism City’s teleportation circle, Buddhist light shone from the void, brightly.

800 Arhats and other guardians appeared from within the light.

Sanskrit sounds came out of nowhere as if the Buddha was chanting sutras to redeem the world.

Then, the wooden fish started to play, and a white-robed robe appeared out of nowhere. He sat with his legs crossed, and there was a giant Divine Bodhi Tree avatar behind him.

The young monk was so outstanding that he attracted everyone’s attention.

That’s right—the exact same avatar, which did not change at all.

This white-robed monk was Bodhisattva Kuduo—he had activated the special effects once again.

However, the moment he appeared, believers instantly knelt down at the teleportation circle. They were praying softly, and their eyes were filled with craze. It was obvious that they were extremely devout.

Bodhisattva Kuduo seemed to have already been used to such a scene. He sighed helplessly and gradually left with the special effects still activated.

Shortly after he left, those believers also dispersed and gathered at a hidden alley. A bald person wearing a hat was waiting there.

“Your acting is not bad.”

He held a bag of Spirit Stones and split them with everyone, one by one.

“Kongde, Kongyun, Kongse, the three of you have done well. Tomorrow, go and collect the high-level Secular Disciple token, then start the pilgrimage act. I have high expectations for you, so continue to work hard. Then, you’ll have the qualifications to shave in the near future.

“As for the others, your act was either a little too perfunctory or too exaggerated. You still need to practice more.”

The three young believers that had received more Spirit Stones were elated.

“Thank you, Master. We will definitely continue to work hard so we can shave and become monks earlier!”

...

Bodhisattva Kuduo did not know what was happening in that small alley. He had already reached the Little Spirit Mountain Boundary’s entrance and went inside.

The scenery instantly changed, and Bodhisattva Kuduo appeared within a Bodhimanda filled with immeasurable light.

This Small World was different from the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground, which was filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs, clouds and rainbows. Instead, it was extremely extravagant and resplendent.

Bodhisattva Kuduo appeared before a magnificent staircase that reached the clouds. The stairs were a thousand feet wide. What was more astonishing was that the stairs were paved with gold and emitted immeasurable light.

Beside the stairs were other palaces, pavilions, treasure ponds, and a pagoda.

Those buildings were all embellished with the seven treasures—they were extremely dignified and did not need the sun or moon to shine brightly.

This was an extremely fragrant paradise as everything that could be seen was made with Infinitude Treasured Incense.

One would revel in the smell, which filled the whole world, while heavenly songs came wafted from the skies. What they heard would differ according to what they craved.

Bodhisattva Kuduo walked up the stairs toward the sky.

This was the Clear Conscience Stairs, and it used the Infinitude Gold to test if the believer’s heart was firm.

The sacred ground would choose fated people every few years to walk the stairs.

If one’s belief was firm and devout and had a selfless mind, they would have a chance to enter the sacred ground.

If one did not have a selfless mind or the aptitude for enlightenment, it meant they were not fated with the Buddha.

Of course, Bodhisattva Kuduo also did not know how he had finished walking the golden stairs in the past and came to the Sonic Thunder Temple.

It was like the Buddha had protected him as he did not feel any pressure at all. It had been so smooth that even he could not believe it.

Oh, my Buddha! At first, he had just wanted to try his luck and enter the sacred ground to scrape a living!

Presently, he was on pins and needles as he quickly finished walking the 10,000 golden steps.

Soon, an extremely vast and dignified palace appeared at the end of the steps, floating on the top of the clouds.

A humongous golden lotus flower, which was 100,000 feet in size beneath the palace, bloomed fully with twelve petals. That lotus flower was surrounded by endless Buddhist light and filled with the aura of merit. The whole palace shined brightly.

Meanwhile, on the beams of the majestic palace, which was hundreds of thousands of feet tall, was a tablet hung—Grand Treasure Hall!

Bodhisattva Kuduo was anxious, with a long face, as he walked toward the Grand Treasure Hall slowly.

Just as Kuduo was about to enter the Grand Treasure Hall, a voice resounded. “Bathe.”

Kuduo’s body trembled slightly, and he looked at the Seven Treasure Pond to the Grand Treasure Hall’s left.

This pond was embellished with the seven treasures and filled with Eight Merit Water. It was the supreme treasure to cleanse one’s mind and heart of the Buddhist sect.

Everyone had to cleanse their whole body using the Eight Merit Water in the Seven Treasure Pond before meeting the Buddhist Lord.

In fact, this was a custom that Kuduo disliked as he still had to bathe before meeting his Master!

However, no matter how much he disliked it, Kuduo still did not dare to disobey his Master. He could only go and bathe himself thoroughly.

After bathing and changing clothes, Kuduo took a deep breath and walked into the Grand Treasure Hall.

In the Grand Treasure Hall’s center was a huge golden Buddha, hundreds of feet tall, sitting cross-legged.

Kuduo slowly walked to the center of the hall and obediently bowed. He said, “Master, I have returned.”

The huge golden Buddha opened his eyes, with a Golden Brahma Kamal Flower in his hands, smiled, and said, “How much do you know about the Divine Firmament’s Saint?”

Kuduo was stunned. “I met him for the first time, so I do not know much about him.”

The huge golden Buddha’s smile gradually disappeared. “Never mind. Go and copy the Buddhist scriptures!”

Kuduo became even more sorrowful. He was hesitating whether or not he should speak.

In the end, he still opened his mouth and said, “Master, I-I have something to say.”

The huge golden Buddha said calmly, “Copy the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra 1,000 times. Tell me after you finish copying.”

Kuduo’s eyes turned red. “Master, what I want to say is related to the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra.”

The huge golden Buddha stared straight at Kuduo. “Oh, is it possible you have some understanding of this supreme art?”

Kuduo braced himself to continue. “Yes, I have a Buddhist scripture to present.”

As he spoke, Kuduo read the Bodhi Buddhist Scripture aloud in front of the huge golden Buddha.

...

After he finished reciting the whole Buddhist scripture, the whole Grand Treasure Hall instantly turned silent.

Immediately after, a blinding light exploded from within the huge golden Buddha. “How dare you! You actually tampered with the true meaning of our Buddhist scripture so that you wouldn’t need to copy the Buddhist scriptures.

“I punish you to face the wall for three months and copy the Great Wisdom Bodhi Wonderful Sutra 10,000 times!

“If you don’t finish copying, then you’re not allowed to find Fang Chang!”
