Chapter 1979: Heaven and Hell Within the Flash of a Thought

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

In the holy land of the Buddhist Sect in the western paradise, the ancient buddhas gathered together and chanted buddhic verses. Countless ancient buddhic words and buddhic energy continued gushing into the giant buddha palm. One of the ancient buddhas was enveloped by a golden lotus. The giant lotus radiated a pure and holy light. His eyes were close as he chanted continuously.

His face would occasionally turn illusory as another set of features appeared. This second set of features wasn’t his original appearance, it seemed like a reflection of Qin Wentian.

At this moment, Qin Wentian was currently struggling. In that sealed space, Qin Wentian seemed that he had already been completely devoured by the golden lotus and his body was completely shrouded by the light the lotus was radiating. His body, his will and even his soul were being devoured bit by bit. The dao of reincarnation was incomparably tyrannical, the Reincarnation Buddha wanted to replace him completely. This was much more terrifying compared to ordinary body seizing. This was a type of extremely powerful dao art. Other than this, he still had to endure the endless attacks from the other buddhas. From this, one could very well imagine how great the pressure he had to endure was.

But even so, he still continued to struggle bitterly. It was like even he himself didn’t expect he could persist for so long. During this one year plus of time, the bald donkeys of the western paradise attacked him daily, wanting to collapse his will. This lasted up until today when the Reincarnation Buddha appeared. The Reincarnation Buddha wanted to seize his body in a single move, he initially thought it wouldn’t be so difficult but Qin Wentian’s will was incomparably resolute, clearly far surpassing their expectations.

But even so, this wouldn’t change the ending. Everything was long destined.

“Qin Wentian, the Heaven Vault has opened. The experts from the various hegemonic powers have already killed their way into the Heaven Vault. Just give up.” A voice rang out in Qin Wentian’s mind, wanting to shatter his final bit of will.

“If you give up now, I will replace you. I will naturally give those people in the Heaven Vault a path of survival. Buddha is merciful after all.” A voice rang out from Qin Wentian’s mouth but this wasn’t said by himself. This was spoken by the Reincarnation Buddha through his mouth.

Qin Wentian’s will grew increasingly weaker. The light from the golden lotuses grew brighter and brighter. The Reincarnation Buddha felt that everything will reach the end soon. Things were about to be concluded.

An instant later, the Reincarnation Buddha spoke again, “Open…”

As the sound of his voice rang out, the giant buddha palm suppressing Qin Wentian began to tremble as it directly collapsed in the next instant, transforming into motes of golden light before dissipating. Qin Wentian’s body appeared in the external world. However, the him now was no longer the same as the past. His life has reached its final point. From now on, the Reincarnation Buddha would replace him.

The numerous buddhas were in Qin Wentian’s surroundings. The buddhic light was as radiant as ever, constantly boring down on Qin Wentian. The body of the Reincarnation Buddha moved, slowly walking step by step towards Qin Wentian’s body.

He then spoke, “Buddha birthed lotuses, a golden body in exchange for the next life.”

This voice seemed to contain a magical power. The golden radiance from his body continued seeping into Qin Wentian. His buddhic golden body seemed to be breaking apart. Gradually, his form turned illusory as he moved closer to Qin Wentian. Finally, his body transformed into lotuses, directly pressing into Qin Wentian’s body.

The dao of reincarnation requires giving up one’s body in exchange for a next life.

In this next life, they could start from the beginning like they had undergone the cycle of samsara and were born anew, allowing them to restart their cultivation. Also, they could directly use this on others, replacing them completely.

Naturally, given the strength of the Reincarnation Buddha, he definitely wouldn’t do so for the sake of replacing an ordinary human. But this time, his target was none other than Qin Wentian’s body.

Who was Qin Wentian? He was the expert that was widely proclaimed as the genius with the most outstanding talent in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. No one could surpass him. Once, even the extremely famous Qin Dangtian who was known as the Heaven’s Son, was also defeated by him, becoming nothing but a foil to enhance Qin Wentian’s brilliance. His rise was like a legend. He became the Heaven Vault’s controller, he had the secret of how to break the limit of nine astral souls, he comprehended various daos, as numerous as the stars in the sky… Given such high quality, how many in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would refuse if they could replace Qin Wentian and take over his body?

The Reincarnation Buddha was a buddha lord. He experienced many reincarnations before he had his current accomplishments. Right now, he wanted to traverse even further on his path. His current body’s limits in terms of potential made it hard for him to do so. Even if he chose to be reborn again and again, it was unknown how many lifetimes he would need. But as for Qin Wentian, he might be the key to everything. Hence, he decided to target Qin Wentian’s body, leading to the scene today.

He had to replace Qin Wentian, he was willing to give his own body up.

The buddhas continued chanting and devouring the strength that still existed in Qin Wentian, preparing to bear witness to his final moments. Qin Wentian would become history. From now on, there would only be the Reincarnation Buddha in the world, a buddha lord of the western paradise, replacing Qin Wentian to radiate glory and radiance in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

The illusory form of the Reincarnation Buddha gradually fused with Qin Wentian’s body. The light from the golden lotuses grew even more resplendent, completely shrouding Qin Wentian’s body within. It was like all of this was already destined.

And as the Reincarnation Buddha slowly devoured Qin Wentian’s awareness, he saw Qin Wentian’s soul. Even Qin Wentian’s will was being replaced. At this moment, he gradually began to absorb some of Qin Wentian’s memories, as well as the secret of the Heaven Vault’s control.

“Impressive.” The Reincarnation Buddha praised. He opened his eyes. The other buddhas here stopped, the buddhic chants vanished and the buddhic light was also no longer so intense. The buddha heavenly deities, whose states of heart were always calm, all had brilliant smiles on their faces. They exchanged mutual glances and after that, all of them bowed before Qin Wentian’s body. “Congrats.”

Right now, the Heaven Vault completely belonged to their western paradise and the Reincarnation Buddha would soon obtain Qin Wentian’s secret of breaking the limits of nine astral souls.

“Mhm.” The Reincarnation Buddha smiled and nodded. At this moment, his original golden body dispersed into motes of buddhic light which fused together becoming a sarira. The sarira floated towards him, he stretched his hand out and took it. There was a smile on his face. This bout of reincarnation wasn’t easy but everything was worth it.

“Wait for me to gain full control of his body.” The Reincarnation Buddha spoke. He had just taken over and wasn’t completely familiar with Qin Wentian’s body yet. Right now, he still didn’t have complete control over it.

“Right, we will take our leave first.” The buddhas here nodded. After that, all of them flew away. As for the matter regarding the Heaven Vault, none of them were worried at all. Right now, the Reincarnation Buddha already obtained Qin Wentian’s body. This meant that everything would come to an end soon. The Heaven Vault would fall into their control, the battles there weren’t of any significance to them. The only person they had to take precautions against, was the Grim Reaper.

The experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms had already entered the Heaven Vault. In truth, the western world hoped for the experts inside the Vault to be stronger. Only then would it be more beneficial for them if both sides killed each other.

The Reincarnation Buddha turned his gaze to the western direction as golden light flashed in his eyes. A brand new era would soon occur.

As he stepped out, he moved towards a certain direction. After some time, he came to an ancient buddhist hall. He sat down cross-legged and prepared to gain full control of this body.

He closed his eyes, in his sea of consciousness, the powerful awareness and thoughts were all already seized by him. Now, he was the sovereign of this body.

“Mhm, what is this?” The Reincarnation Buddha saw a black dot that radiated a faint luster. His divine sense swept over, coming in contact with the black dot. But in the next moment, an incomparably vast amount of power erupted forth from within. It was like an ancient primordial beast that broke apart its seal, causing an incomparably resplendent radiance to illuminate this entire space. There seemed to be an immensely powerful soul hidden within. At this moment, an illusory figure appeared, this was none other than Qin Wentian himself.

Inside this black dot, there seemed to be an entire starry world contained within.

A terrifying sealing energy exploded out, transforming into the dao of sealing that rapidly sealed the Reincarnation Buddha’s soul energy. At the same time, this sealing energy spread through his entire body. This powerful force seemed as though it wanted to retake the sovereignty of his body.

After all, this body belonged to him originally, belonging to his soul. All his memories and thoughts were his. Even if the Reincarnation Buddha used the extremely powerful dao of reincarnation against him, when it comes to taking control, he possessed an advantage. He would be able to contend against the buddha.

Before this, he used the dao of sealing and sealed half of his power in the black dot because he was waiting for an opportunity to erupt forth. In such a situation where the buddhas were still around, they would surely attack him en masse. There was also the suppression by the gigantic buddha palm, he was helpless to resist then and could only endure, allowing the Reincarnation Buddha to feel that he has succeeded.

Now, his opportunity finally arrived.

The Reincarnation Buddha was completely caught unaware. His soul suffered a backlash and was directly sealed. However, he instantly reacted and unleashed his dao of reincarnation. Golden light surrounded this body but his control over Qin Wentian’s body was still not proficient yet. He didn’t have complete control. So, when he used Qin Wentian’s body to unleash his dao, the law attributes were completely incompatible.

Before this, his golden body transformed into the dao and pressed into Qin Wentian’s body. At the instant he decided to reincarnate and replace Qin Wentian, he had already given up on his previous body. Hence, right now, the predicament he was in was extremely obvious. He no longer had a body to return to if he lost.

On the contrary, Qin Wentian was like a dragon soaring through the skies. He frenziedly seized back the power that ought to belong to him, regaining control of his body. Very swifty, his body was no longer under any control by the Reincarnation Buddha. In fact, the Reincarnation Buddha couldn’t even seek help. The situation instantly reversed.

“How could this be?” The Reincarnation Buddha’s will trembled. Everything ought to be concluded, how could he still fail despite having succeeded? Shouldn’t everything be ended?

A thought to heaven, a thought to hell!
