964 The Past And The Future Are Illusory (2/2)

Right after an illusory sound, the sound of heartbeat stopped abruptly. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas disappeared one after another, and the Akshobhya Buddha had also changed back to the Golden Body of Trailokyavijaya.

”Evil being. You're an evil being,” Hotogtu said coldly as he spun the Trailokyavijaya Wheel at a rapid speed.

How evil are you to destroy the Eastern Pure Land of Abhirati in this way. You must be an evil being!

But, do you think that's all?

Let me show you the true power of the Trailokyavijaya Wheel!

As the black Trailokyavijaya Wheel spun fast, the green Pure Land was broken. It was as though countless horrible monsters were hiding in the dark. Also, somewhere in the dark was connected to a mysterious place that could not be described by words.

Aside from defeating the greedy and resentful thoughts of one's past life, present life and future life, Trailokyavijaya was able to send the opponents back to the past so that they would be reincarnated again to the present life. In this way, they would re-experience the things that triggered their greedy and resentful thoughts. As a result, a new Primordial Spirit would be born due to the emergence of a new personality after each reincarnation. Without a strong mind, the opponents would have an unrecoverable mental breakdown. They might even forget about their present lives and confused their identities with a past self. Eventually, they would immerse themselves completely into the past life!

Samsara had actually created the Heaven's Strike based on this magic art!

A shade of darkness was floating in the void. Hotogtu was standing in the air and looking at the scenes that showed the enemy's past life. Apart from making him re-experience the past life, Hotogtu was also trying to find out his greedy and resentful thoughts in order to wipe out his existence in the past!

In a small room, there was almost no furniture at all. The room owner was only placing a table in the corner. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get in and out of the room.

The owner's clothes were packed in a box that was placed behind the door. Every time he opened the door, only a small gap was left for him to go through. A computer that was running a game was placed on the table.

At the moment, the room was quiet, with nobody in sight!

This is… Hotogtu had an odd feeling. If this was his past memory, someone should be sitting next to the computer, isn't it?

Why is the person missing?

How could he be missing?

As the Trailokyavijaya Wheel spun again, Hotogtu saw a building in a sea of fire. A lot of people were massacred by Japanese soldiers.

He is still missing! Hotogtu was deeply shocked. In this scene, he should be fighting against the enemies with grief and anger! But the place where he should stand is empty now!

In the next moment, the Trailokyavijaya Wheel spun once again. In the dark, a person was carrying a bamboo cage and was about to throw it into the water. However, the bamboo cage was empty. Where is the person inside the cage?

What's happening now… Hotogtu was utterly confused. Could he be a real spirit that is just born into the world, thereby having no past life?

No, that's not possible. If he doesn't have a past life, where did all these memories come from?

Hotogtu tried to calm himself down. When he looked up, he saw a green-robed young man sitting cross-legged in the dark, looking at himself with a smile!

Well, I'm well-known for my ability to send people back to the past. As I've dealt with Chonghe using this ability before, perhaps this mysterious Dharmakaya has heard of it. He might have prepared some special skills to counteract my ability!

If that's the case, it seems like it's time to show him a magic skill that I created during my forty-year Isolated Practice.

Sending you to your future life!

You will be reincarnated again and again. There will be no way out!

The Trailokyavijaya Wheel was suddenly spinning in the opposite direction, changing the surrounding again. A Pure Land full of celestial beings, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas occurred.

”Is he a Buddha in his future life?” Hotogtu was startled. However, when he looked at the white lotus throne in the middle of the Pure Land, he saw no one sitting on it.

He's not there either. He doesn't even have a future life?

Again and again, Hotogtu was sending Meng Qi to his future lives. However, his reincarnation was not found at all - not even once.

He… he has no past life and future life? Hotogtu was so shocked that he could no longer keep his Mirror-Like Wisdom.

Looking back, Hotogtu saw the green-robed man sitting cross-legged in the distance. It seemed that he had always been sitting there. He was neither returning to the past, nor reincarnating to the future life.

Who… who on earth is he? How could it be possible for someone to have neither past nor future life? Hotogtu was confused and terrified.

In the next moment, he saw Meng Qi pointing a finger at the sky and touching the ground with another finger. As the luster of golden glaze soared up, the entire spiritual world was illuminated. Apparently, he was taking control over the world. His body was growing larger and becoming more majestic until it filled the place completely. The Golden Body of Trailokyavijaya was like an ant in front of Meng Qi - it was clearly a twist of fate. Just then, Meng Qi uttered a phrase loudly,

”Regardless of being in the past or in the future, I am the best in the world!”

Regardless of being in the past or in the future, I am the best in the world? As if being struck by lightning, Hotogtu suddenly realized something. He was trembling with cold sweat all over his body. As the Flame of Anger subsided, he was in a peaceful state of mind.

Regardless of being in the past or in the future, I am the best in the world. So it is... so it is…

As the spiritual world collapsed, the Lotus Throne Mountain came into sight again. The refreshing mountain breeze was blowing on Hotogtu's face. In the distance, the chanting voices of Shaolin monks could be heard faintly.

Tears were rolling down Hotogtu's face. He placed the Trailokyavijaya Wheel on the stone steps, and put his hands together in a prayer position. ”Thank you for teaching me a lesson. I've finally realized something very important. I should be letting go of the past, and not thinking too much about the future as it hasn't happened yet. I should focus on the present and work on becoming a better person.”

”From today on, I'll become a monk in Shaolin to find my true self.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and strolled toward the entrance of Shaolin without even waiting for Meng Qi's reply. Both his physical body and mental state were much more relaxed than before.

Looking at Hotogtu's back, Meng Qi was a little startled. Well, I didn't expect it to turn out this way. All of a sudden, he has decided to become a real monk. What's going on?

After a while, Meng Qi kept the Trailokyavijaya Wheel and sighed. ”Luckily, I have no past life or future life. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with Hotogtu. Trailokyavijaya Mantra is really an incredible magic art.”

”He is unlucky to have you as his opponent,” Jiang Zhiwei said smilingly.

Meng Qi looked up at the sky, ”Although Hotogtu is still in the Dharmakaya Realm, he is already so hard to be beaten. When the mighty people of the Legendary Realm and the Zao Hua Realm return in the future, I wonder how strong they can be?”

”The Great Trial is coming. The only thing we can do right now is to train ourselves as hard as we can. We must strive hard to attain the Legendary Realm before the mighty people return.”
