Chapter 418: Yin and Yang Performing Tai Chi

In the Great Wisdom Root Realm, Zhou Tieyi stepped on the Yin-Yang Fish of Life and Death. The rules of life and death covered the entire Great Wisdom Root Realm. With the entry of the rules of life and death, he naturally ignored the space restrictions in the Great Wisdom Root Realm. Even if it was tens of millions of miles away, it was only within a step!
In the core of the Great Wisdom Root Realm, on the huge Eight Treasures Merit Pond, golden lotus flowers bloomed. The water in the Merit Pond, which should have been crystal clear, became turbid due to the stirring of the rules of life and death, just like the essence of the Merit Pond, the water of the underworld Yellow Spring.

In the center of the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, which is dozens of acres in size, a huge seven-level lotus sways gracefully. Each lotus is decorated with the seven treasures of Buddhism, such as gold, silver, colored glaze, and giant clam, from bottom to top. Each treasure symbolizes a kind of perfect liberation in this world. Combined with the clear water of the Forgetful River Pond, which can wash away the past and guide the afterlife, they gather into the Eight Treasures Merit, which can transcend the mundane world and enter the Western Paradise and liberation world.

However, at this moment, on top of the seventh-grade lotus, a Bodhisattva had a face as pale gold and a look of pain. Above his chest, seven stars gathered into arrows. Endless death force erupted from the arrows, causing the Bodhisattva's perfect practice to regress and the seven treasures of Buddhism, such as gold, silver, and colored glaze, under his feet to scatter.

Zhou Tieyi looked expressionlessly at the monk Zhi in the middle. He separated seven primordial stars, gathered the endless death energy that the gods poured into his body, and coordinated with the will of heaven and earth in the Baizhishan mine. An ordinary third-grade monk would have been killed by this arrow, but Monk Zhi was able to withstand this arrow and maintain his golden body. He had already surpassed the level of an ordinary third-grade monk. Even if he had not fully entered the second grade, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a Bodhisattva.

However, even the Buddha will eventually pass away, let alone the Bodhisattva!
The Yin-Yang Fish of Life and Death under his feet entered the Eight Treasures Merit Pool without hesitation, and he also stepped into the Merit Pool formed by the water of the Forgetful River.

Through the news sent back by Shenxiu, Zhou Tieyi already knew about the existence of the Wangchuan Pool, but it was not until he actually entered the pool that he realized how terrifying it was!
In the Buddha Kingdom, endless chanting sounded. In this world, he had no way to avoid the chanting sound. Especially after entering the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, the chanting sound was no longer just coming from the outside world, but from his own heart!
Zhou Tieyi looked back into his own heart. Silently, there was another him sitting cross-legged, but his expression was more flamboyant and complacent. There was pink lust, red killing desire, and black greed in his eyes, but he was chanting boundless and pure Buddhist scriptures.

All along, because he had the magical power of [Usurping God], Zhou Tieyi had never worried about other people affecting his mind, and he himself even always believed so.

But if this influence is achieved through 'oneself', then the [Usurpation of God] magical power cannot be avoided.

His originally unified memory began to divide into two non-adjacent long rivers of memory. One long river belonged to 'Zhou Tieyi' in the Daxia world, and the other long river belonged to himself in his previous life.

Originally, Zhou Tieyi thought that his souls had merged, and that the two souls and two memories had long since compromised with each other. But now he discovered that the memories and souls had not completely compromised and merged, or it could be said that in everyone's heart, a split self occasionally occurs, and regret is a manifestation of this split. Although one knows that the facts have become a foregone conclusion, one still hopes in one's heart that everything can start over again.

It’s just that the inner split of most people only exists for a short period of time. As long as they can reach a compromise with themselves, they will not enter a state of complete mental split.

However, in the Great Wisdom Sutra and the realm of great wisdom, division is the norm and even exists forever.

"He is trying to take over my body."

"He took away my parents, brother."

"As long as I devour this outer demon again, I will be able to gain everything!"

"I am the real Zhou Tieyi!"

……

Another self that had never appeared in Zhou Tieyi's mind gathered at a terrifying speed, forming a complete self-will, trying to regain control of this body.

On the seventh-grade lotus, Monk Zhi glanced at the arrow of stars that was constantly corroding his chest, but smiled and looked up at Zhou Tieyi and said, "Zhou Hou has deep roots in Buddhism. I am willing to offer you the position of the Pure World Lapis Lazuli King Buddha in the Western Paradise."

As he finished speaking, a spot of lapis lazuli light lit up in the sky above the Baizhishan mining area, which was already half-sunken in the dark. It stretched for a hundred miles. The lapis lazuli light spread, and a huge, clear body of the Buddha appeared, covering the heaven and earth. The sound of the Zen chanting of "Om" was like the ringing of a morning bell, with endless compassion and endless joy.

The lotus under the Buddha's seat has twenty-four petals, and each petal is perfect and flawless, except for the one in the northwest where a petal is missing, making it seem imperfect. But at this time, the lotus seat descended and entered into the underworld with the Buddha's body, merging with the realm of great wisdom.

Monk Zhi raised his Dharma seal and said to Zhou Tieyi, "All suffering in the world originates from evil roots. I will eliminate it with the Dharma and cultivate the great way."

Colored glazed Buddha light descended from the sky and gathered in Monk Zhi's palm, pure and boundless. He stretched out his palm, like colored glaze, and easily fell into the Yin-Yang fish of life and death under Zhou Tieyi's feet.

Then the boundless Buddhist Dharma was divided into two, the white fish representing life and the black fish representing death, making the turbid Eight Treasures Merit Pond clear again, and there was no more "suffering of death" in this paradise of Buddha.

The Four Noble Truths mentioned in Buddhism are: the Truth of Suffering to see the suffering of the world, the Truth of Origination to understand the cause of suffering, the Truth of Cessation to eliminate all suffering, and the Truth of the Path to Nirvana.

Although Monk Zhi has not yet cultivated the truth of the Buddha's path, he has seen the suffering of the world through the Taihang Mountain miners, understood the roots of good and evil through the "Great Wisdom Sutra", and cut off the suffering of the world through the great wisdom. He has already known the three truths of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism, and it is no exaggeration to call him a bodhisattva.

At this time, with the help of the Buddha's Nirvana Dharma, his palm reached into the world of life and death as easily as taking water. As long as the black fish representing the suffering of death was separated from the great wisdom root realm, the great wisdom root realm would return to purity and boundlessness, and at the same time merge with the Western Paradise, and enter the realm of perfection again.

This was the reason why the Western Paradise was able to decisively give up after Zhou Tieyi designed to seduce Huan Xitian. There were too many people in the world who wanted to become Buddhas, so giving up one or two was a piece of cake.

As the black fish symbolizing death was pushed aside, Zhou Tieyi began to separate into two people. One of them was pure white and full of boundless compassion, while the other was pure black and full of deep desire.

"Western Paradise, you monks dare to say that!"

A bold and unbridled voice came from outside the Great Wisdom Root Realm. Zhou Tieyi knew who was speaking without even looking up.

It is none other than the Daming Palace Master who dares to do what others in the world dare not do, the nameless Taoist!
The Lord of Daming Palace suddenly appeared above Baizhi Mountain, wearing a purple and gold Bagua robe and dragon scale and phoenix feather shoes. He waved the dust in his right hand, and the red dust opened up. He pinched his sword finger and sang a "yes".

"In heaven and on earth, may you be blessed with infinite bliss, even if there is boundless bliss, my Taoist sect is in the middle of heaven, in the thirty-three heavens, and the Purple Sky Taoist Palace is the highest!"

In the glazed Buddha light, boundless purple air came from the east, covering the four corners of the universe, rendering the glazed light into an extremely gorgeous purple!
Amidst the layers of clouds and purple air, Taoist palaces divided the sky into thirty-three layers from top to bottom. However, compared to the twenty-four heavens of Buddhism, these thirty-three Taoist palaces seemed too illusory. Only eight of them were full, and the rest were illusory.

But above the thirty-three heavens, the sun and the moon were shining brightly. Although the sun was a little dim and the moon was not full enough, the terrifying power still formed waves of the sun and the moon, causing the lotus under the Buddha's seat to rise and fall!

Affected by this, the glazed Buddha light gathered in Monk Zhi's hands began to flicker, and the Yin-Yang fish under Zhou Tieyi's feet kept tumbling, as if trying to break free from Monk Zhi's palm.

"Amitabha."

On the other three lotus flowers in the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, the three old monks who had not taken action even when Monk Lian Zhi was injured remained expressionless. While chanting the Buddha's name, they stretched out their hands and drew a ray of colored glaze light into their bodies. Then they turned themselves into firewood and burned fiercely, their inside and outside being clear and pure!

Since we can’t draw enough glazed light from the outside, we have to get it from within!
The three third-grade Arhats ignite the lapis lazuli light to continue the boundless Buddhist teachings!

The vigorous colored glaze light ignited from the three Arhats, causing Monk Zhi's giant palm of Buddha's light, which flickered on and off, to solidify again, allowing him to push the black Yin-Yang fish out of the Buddha's kingdom with all his strength.

From the very beginning, Monk Zhi had never thought of engaging in a long-term confrontation with the Taoists who were supported by the Great Xia court, nor had he thought of completely killing Zhou Tieyi.

On the contrary, they only need half of Zhou Tieyi, so why not leave the other half to your Taoist sect!

"Bald donkey!"

On the black dead fish, Zhou Tieyi's face was filled with anger and he cursed loudly. Greed, madness, and rage almost completely filled his mind, making it impossible for him to think of more solutions, or even control his own actions!

Now he finally understood why the nameless master would curse at monks whenever he saw them. When monks get crazy, they are really crazy!
Fortunately, my senior sister has made all the preparations!

A wisp of clear air floated up from the black dead fish and transformed into a young female Taoist in an apricot-yellow Taoist robe. She stood side by side with Zhou Tieyi, their breaths blended together, clear and clean, like the spiritual consciousness of a clear spring in the mountains pouring into Zhou Tieyi's body without hindrance, differentiating and channeling the seven emotions and six desires that had already lost control in his heart, so that the thoughts of emotion would not disappear, but only diminish. This is the supreme method of forgetting emotions!

Under the flow of this clear spring consciousness, not only are the seven emotions and six desires calmed down again, but yin and yang changes are also born from the sentient beings!
Under Miaoyu's guidance, the five-colored light in Zhou Tieyi's body was revealed, and the five colors of blue, red, white, black and yellow rotated endlessly!
A dot of white blooms from the black eyes of the Yin fish, Taiyin gives birth to Shaoyang, the Five Emperors perform Yin and Yang, and the dead silence comes to life!
The Yin fish under Zhou Tieyi's feet gave birth to Shaoyang. Shaoyang, which symbolizes pure vitality, was born from the Yin fish that symbolizes death. The terrifying attraction was transmitted from the perfect Taiyin Shaoyang, attracting the Taiyang white fish that was pushed away by the glazed Buddha light, allowing the Yin and Yang principles to be sublimated into the Tai Chi principles at this moment.

If the Buddha were really alive, he could suppress the incomplete Tai Chi developed by Zhou Tieyi and Miaoyu. However, how could they completely separate the ultimate truth of heaven and earth by merely relying on the spontaneous combustion of the three Arhats!

Yin and Yang give birth to each other, Tai Chi combines with each other, there is Yang in Yin, and they are the basis of each other!
Under the great truth, the Sun White Fish merged with Zhou Tieyi and the Taiyin and Shaoyang under Miaoyu's feet. The black and white Zhou Tieyi merged, and their memories merged, just like two rivers reuniting. The self and the self achieved a compromise and fusion, and were no longer distinguishable from each other!
