Buddhism is the sect that is best at subduing one's mind.
People have essence, energy and spirit, but they have more power than mind. As the saying goes, there is nothing outside the mind. When the mind moves, the three thousand worlds are born; when the mind ceases, the three thousand worlds cease. Those with great supernatural powers can even destroy the heavens and end the life and death of all living beings with a single thought!
Therefore, in the world of gods, there are not only the three paths of essence, energy and spirit, but also the path of the heart.
Buddhism is about cultivating the mind.
It’s just that it’s too difficult to enter the path of the mind, and Buddhism tests one’s fate, and those without fate will not be saved.
"Could it be... that Emperor Taixu is a Buddhist disciple?"
Ling Xiao began to have doubts in his heart.
He was determined, having lived two lives, and had seen through life and death, as well as everything, so the illusion of the second level did not faze him at all.
I have walked through blazing flames, crossed extremely cold snowy mountains, flown across endless gale winds, experienced thousands of thunderbolts, and crossed mountains of swords and rivers...
Ling Xiao moved forward tirelessly without taking a single step back.
The creation of heaven and earth, all things in nature, all perished under his feet. He defeated himself, and then defeated heaven and earth!
Ling Xiao couldn't remember how many times he had died, and even his eyebrows and eyes had a look of weathering.
Finally, everything around him disappeared, and a Chaos Temple appeared before him, eternal and shining with infinite light.
"Hahaha... Ling Xiao, you're too late! I've already become the successor of Emperor Taixu. What qualifications do you have to compete with me? Go to hell!"
King Fu stood in front of the Chaos Temple, looking extraordinary and heroic, with a terrifying aura and an extremely cold and arrogant smile on his face.
Floating above his head was a snow-white, flawless jade disc of creation. It looked perfect, ancient, and mysterious. It instantly emitted mysterious rays of light, as if three thousand great worlds were rushing towards Ling Xiao to suppress him!
That terrifying aura was so terrifying that Ling Xiao had no power to resist at all.
"You are just a product of my thoughts, how dare you come to stop me? Destroy!"
Ling Xiao's eyes were as calm as water. He glanced at Fu Wang indifferently. His voice was like thunder, shaking the void in all directions, and contained a power that could make his words come true.
Boom!
Under the extremely horrified gaze of King Fu, his body instantly shattered, and even the Jade Disc of Creation, the Temple of Chaos and even this world were all shattered.
"Everything that exists is false!"
Ling Xiao said lightly, his voice containing a mysterious power that could create the world.
Suddenly, he felt as if a mysterious barrier around him was broken, and the power and laws imposed on him also dissipated.
Ling Xiao knew that he had passed the second level.
Buzz!
He was enveloped by a brilliant light and disappeared into the brilliant void before his eyes, his entire body falling into eternal darkness.
Great Yan Kingdom, Yanjing City.
The Minister of Rites Xiao Yun had a son in his old age, Xiao Ling. The entire Xiao Mansion was decorated with lights and was filled with joy. On the same day, the Queen of Dayan gave birth to a daughter, who was named Princess Yunyang by the Emperor of Dayan.
Xiao Yun and the Emperor of Dayan grew up together and experienced countless hardships, so on the day Xiao Ling was born, the Emperor of Dayan issued an edict to grant the marriage, giving Princess Yunyang to Xiao Ling as his wife, and they would get married only after they turned 18.
Xiao Ling was born with a delicate appearance and was loved by everyone. He was also extremely intelligent. He entered school at the age of five, could compose poems at the age of eight, and the articles he wrote at the age of ten amazed his teachers.
Xiao Ling became a famous young genius in Yanjing City. He took part in the child examination at the age of twelve and he was unstoppable since then. At the age of eighteen, he won the top three places in the imperial examination and became the youngest number one scholar in the history of the Great Yan Kingdom. He rode a horse through the streets in great glory and even married Princess Yunyang, and the emperor's favor grew day by day.
Xiao Ling had extraordinary literary talent, but he had no interest in martial arts, so he had been hanging around in the civil service system. At the age of 24, he was demoted to a prefecture and became the governor.
Princess Yunyang even gave birth to a pair of children for him, and the couple lived in harmony and were very happy.
But the good times did not last long. When Xiao Ling was 25 years old, Murong Kun, the Prince Rong of the Great Yan Kingdom, rebelled. He colluded with the Yuan Dynasty of the Mongolian Empire in the northern grasslands and invaded the Great Yan Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Twenty-five cities of the Great Yan Kingdom fell into the hands of the Yuan and Mongolian cavalry in one day, and the people were devastated and wailing.
The Emperor of Great Yan was weak and incompetent, and also suspicious by nature. Although he led a large army to resist, he was no match for the rebels, who marched straight into the city of Yanjing.
The royal family of Dayan was slowly slaughtered. Xiao Yun was executed for cursing Prince Rong and refusing to surrender. Even Princess Yunyang became a target of the rebels.
At that time, Xiao Ling escaped the disaster because he returned to his hometown alone to worship his ancestors. However, when he learned what happened in Yanjing City, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.
"Murong Kun, I, Xiao Ling, swear here that I will not be a human being until I wipe out all of your Murong clan!"
Xiao Ling swore an oath in front of the cenotaphs of his parents, wife and children, with tears and blood flowing.
In the following five years, Xiao Ling visited famous mountains and swamps, looking for a teacher to learn martial arts, and in Zhongnan Mountain he worshipped the sword immortal Chongyang Zhenren as his teacher. He practiced the sword immortal technique and could take off people's heads from a hundred feet away!
On the day when his magical power was perfected, Xiao Ling bid farewell to Master Chongyang and went down the mountain to Yanjing City to seek revenge.
At this moment, Murong Kun had already become the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom. Xiao Ling, alone with a sword, fought his way deep into the imperial city and killed thousands of soldiers in a row. No matter whether they were martial arts masters or generals, none of them could match him.
The imperial city was stained with blood. Xiao Ling fought his way into the imperial city amidst a sea of blood and corpses. Just when he was about to kill Murong Kun with his own hands, a scene that shocked Xiao Ling occurred.
"My dear husband, please forgive His Majesty. His Majesty had no choice but to do this. He had his own reasons. Besides, he is a good emperor. He treats our children very well and made them kings. Moreover, and... I am now pregnant with His Majesty's child!"
Xiao Ling's wife, the former Princess Yunyang and now the Queen of Dayan, knelt in front of Xiao Ling and begged bitterly with tears in her eyes.
"Yun Yang, he is the enemy who killed our father. He was the one who slaughtered the Yan royal family and my entire Xiao family. How could you be willing to become his queen and even give birth to a child for him?"
Xiao Ling's whole body was shaking, the magic sword in his hand was trembling violently, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his face was extremely pale.
The appearance of Princess Yunyang was simply the biggest blow to him!
"I know, I know everything! It was my father who killed his whole family. He was just seeking revenge. I have no choice. My husband, I have fallen in love with him. My heart is really hurting. My husband, if you want to kill someone, just kill me. Don't kill His Majesty. He is a good emperor. Great Yan needs him!"
Yunyang knelt in front of Xiao Ling and begged bitterly.
"Hahaha... You actually plead for him? You actually plead for him? I practiced so hard for so many years, what on earth was it all for? What on earth was it all for?"
Xiao Ling howled to the sky, feeling extremely sad and feeling that he was abandoned by the whole world.
