Chapter 698: Speculation on the Great Wish Technique

The names of fifty-four Buddhas were recited one by one by all sentient beings. Their profound willpower surged forth, sweeping towards the Fate of Buddhism.

In an instant, the Fate of Buddhism vibrated, merging with the willpower to conjure the illusory images of fifty-three ancient Buddhas.

These fifty-three Buddhas were indeed the fictitious Buddhas imagined by Jiang Chen. Even though they were fake, if people believed them to be real, they became real.

The power of a single person may be as insignificant as an ant, but the collective force of all beings is immensely great, holding inconceivable capabilities and the power to turn the illusory into reality.

The non-existent fifty-three Buddhas have gained meaning by being recognized by all beings, and have begun to morph from illusion to reality.

While they appear illusive now, as time passes and more and more willpower gathers, their bodies will slowly become substantial.

One day, to meet the desires of the beings, they will be fully born, becoming powerful ancient Buddhas.

"Fifty-three ancient Buddhas?"

"Is it merely a fictitious legend that has indeed created fifty-three ancient Buddhas?"

"Is this the Divine Tao? It’s truly mysterious and unfathomable!"

"The power of all beings is still so magnificent, turning illusion into reality, isn’t this the end of the spiritual practice? Omnipotent!"

The changes within Buddhism naturally could not be concealed from the Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World, which astonished them. They were astonished by the subtlety of the Divine Dao and the greatness of the force of all beings.

An invented story alone has created fifty-three ancient Buddhas out of thin air for Buddhism. This truly was skillful.

For the first time, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Prehistoric World gained a clearer understanding of the power of Divine Dao. The might of the Divine Dao did not lie in the gods, but in the mass population.

The power of the Divine Dao is a utilization of the power of all beings. It’s not the gods who are magnificent, but the beings!

"The power of incense and willpower? This Incense Fire Divine Path seems to be quite mysterious, perhaps it’s useful to me."

In the mysterious eastern ultimate realm, where life converges endlessly, a supreme will suddenly awakened, showing a bit of curiosity towards the Divine Dao.

Not just the eastern ultimate, even the other four ultimate realms had a supreme will awoken due to the Divine Dao.

The masters of these five supreme wills were the five supreme beings that ruled Heaven and Earth in the ancient era of Taichu. They were the Ancestral Dragon, Phoenix, Qizu, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger, also known as the five sacred beasts, who currently guard Heaven and Earth.

All the sacred beasts possess a ’sacred’ title, which signifies that their power is on par with saints.

The reason why the five Sacred Beasts were awakened by the movements of the Divine Tao was that the Divine Tao was based on the incense and willpower, and what the five Sacred Beasts possessed in abundance was willpower.

Since ancient times, within the Prehistoric World, there have always been races worshiping the Five Elements Sacred Beasts. After countless years, no one knows how much willpower these five sacred beasts possess.

However, it must be plentiful.

The Five Elements Sacred Beasts, bearing such an enormous amount of willpower from numerous beings, can be said to have a deep connection with the Incense Fire Divine Path. The birth of the Divine Dao naturally alarmed them.

"Power of Incense and willpower, perhaps it’s another path. Let’s observe it first, if the Divine Dao proves useful, we should give it a try."

After taking a glimpse at the current Divine Dao, the wills of the Five Elements Sacred Beasts gradually quieted down.

They saw a possibility in the Divine Dao, but due to its infancy and weakness, it couldn’t withstand their meddling.

Thus, after they observed the Divine Dao, they withdrew their gaze. The potential of the Divine Dao was not in the present, but in the future.

Once the Divine Dao rises in the future and they remember the possibility they once saw, the Five Elements Sacred Beasts will naturally interact with the Divine Dao. If the Divine Dao cannot rise, there will be no future after today.

...

......

"Amitabha, Buddha is merciful."

"Praise to all the Buddhas and teachers in heaven."

Seeing the manifestation of the ancient Buddha’s image, the people had increased belief in what Jiang Chen had said and repeatedly chanted the name of the Buddha.

"Go!"

All of a sudden, a brilliant Buddha light shone from Jiang Chen. As radiant as the sun, it illuminated all realms and Buddhist followers.

The next moment, a cultivation method named Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, naturally appeared in every Buddhist’s heart.

It appeared to all, not only in the Three Realms but also in the vast universe. Anywhere the Buddha light illuminated, the cultivation method of Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon appeared, enabling all Buddhist followers to sense it.

The Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon was a cultivation method created by Jiang Chen. It had no prerequisites. Regardless of whether one is a human or not, as long as they possess a sentient mind, they could practice it.

Having no prerequisites indicated that the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon had strong universality. However, it also indicated that the power of this technique would not be very potent.

Something that is potent is not universal, and something that is universal is typically not potent, both cannot coexist.

The Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Cultivation Method was just like that. In the initial stages, it had no potency at all, it only enabled one to build a strong body and be free from ailments.

However, this is just the initial stage. If one persists in cultivation, the power of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon will increase progressively. With continuous transformation, even incarnation into Supreme Divine Power is a possibility.

The Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon Cultivation Method has one characteristic – it has no upper limit, and those who cultivate it can keep practicing.

The practice of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon is extremely simple – one just needs to imagine the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon in the Sea of Consciousness.

For every Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon manifested, one shall possess the power of one dragon. Manifest a hundred, and one will have the power of a hundred dragons. Manifest a billion, and one shall possess the power of a billion dragons.

There is no upper limit to this number. The cultivators of the Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, in the later stages, can cause a qualitative change through a quantitative change, thereby possessing power comparative to celestial Gods.

"Buddha is merciful!"

After gaining benefits, everyone started praising Jiang Chen again.

Jiang Chen remained silent, just leading everyone to recite the sutras repeatedly. Only after myriad recitations did he speak, "The sutras have been disseminated, the Water-Land Dharma Assembly should end, you all may leave."

After speaking, without waiting for everyone’s reply, Jiang Chen waved his sleeve and sent everyone away.

Looking at the illusory figures of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the sky above the Spiritual Mountain, Jiang Chen murmured, "The seeds have been sown, now it’s time to wait for them to take root and sprout."

Compared to before, the bodies of the Gods of the Spiritual Mountain have undoubtedly become more substantial. This Water-Land Dharma Assembly was indeed useful. It would be nice if it could be conducted daily.

Everyone had left, everything was returning to normal. Logically speaking, Jiang Chen should leave, but he didn’t. He was going to stay on the Spiritual Mountain for a few more years.

Not because he wanted to guard against the Buddha Tathagata’s return, but to verify a speculation.

To cultivate the Great Wish Technique, Jiang Chen made forty-eight great vows to the sentient beings. Although these vows had no effect on him, he still wanted to know what changes would happen if he fulfilled these grand wishes.
