Belial's eyes were different from those of normal people, they were deep blue, like carefully polished gems. There would be no emotion shown in such eyes, and of course Shen Lian didn't need to know what others were thinking from their eyes, but he really couldn't grasp Belie's inner thoughts.
For a long time, Shen Lian had never encountered anything like this.
Belial said: "The Most High wants to ask, so naturally I dare not not answer. But how can you, the Most High, achieve the highest? How can a humble existence like me know this?"
He put one hand on his chest and abdomen and bent towards Shen Lian. He made all the humble gestures, but didn't say a word of truth.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Lian sat on the coach's throne.
Since Belial wanted to be polite to him, he would not be polite. It may be said that Shen Lian's temperament is always aloof, but when he sits in the position of the head coach, there is something different about him.
Don't speak, don't look at people.
But if someone else comes in, they will feel that Shen Lian is the coach, Wen can bring peace to the country, and Wu can rule the country.
This is an incredible manifestation of Shen Lian's mastery of temperament. Human personality is inherently multi-faceted, but most people can usually only grasp one aspect and develop one personality as the dominant one.
Just like countless stars, a main star must be found so that other stars can start to revolve around this main star and perform their respective duties.
Shen Lian is different, he can express any kind of temperament vividly, and it is all him.
This ability does not come suddenly. That may date back a long time ago, when he glimpsed the essence of the magic of heavenly demons and the Great Dream Heart Sutra, maybe a little further in advance.
Belie was a little afraid of Shen Lian before, but after seeing Shen Lian's temperament, he was very afraid.
Why was he afraid? Because Shen Lian showed such a dominant temperament at this time, which reminded him of Shen Lian in another branch of destiny. He was also above the stars. As the supreme being, there were only creeping people under the throne. Gods, there is no standing sacred.
That Shen Lian was more domineering than the one in front of him, and he said something that even he found very interesting. The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, which means that the Buddha is higher than all living beings. In his eyes, all living beings are equal, and this is also the case.
No matter how powerful the existence is, or a humble ant, in the eyes of the Supreme Being, they are all the same, and there is no difference.
He suddenly felt a chill in his heart, because Shen Lian was looking at him with a smile.
Belie understood, and his thoughts were finally captured by Shen Lian.
Shen Lian said: "That person is not me."
Belial was stunned and said, "I will not admit my mistake."
Shen Lian said: "Everyone can become a Tathagata. This Tathagata is not that Tathagata. You don't understand this truth." There is indeed a Shen Lian where Belial came from, and that one is indeed not him.
It sounds strange, but it's not. Because that person has only cultivated to the same state as Shen Lian, just like other people who have cultivated to become Tathagata, they are also Tathagata, but not Tathagata.
Moreover, Shen Lian also knew exactly where Shen Lian came from. If he hadn't gotten the clue from Zhao Feng, he would have been confused at the moment, but now it is indeed clear.
The man once said well, "In the past, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, and the lifelike butterfly was a metaphor for his will! He didn't know the Zhou Dynasty. Suddenly he realized that the Zhou Dynasty was like a butterfly. He didn't know that Zhou's dream was a butterfly, and the butterfly's dream was a butterfly. Zhou Yu? Zhou Yu and Hu Die must be different."
Shen Lian finally became certain of one thing. Zhuangzi, a Taoist genius, was as talented as the Buddha and the Supreme Being, but he was not transcendent.
It's not because he's not awesome, it's because he's too awesome.
The world is a dream, and the butterfly and I are separate. This is actually a supreme method that Shen Lian could not even imagine before.
To put it bluntly, Zhuangzi himself did not practice cultivation, but he could dream about becoming Shen Lian and Taiyi, so naturally he also had their previous state of transcendence.
It’s just that Taiyi finally transcended and left no trace. So Zhuangzi lurked again and met him again, Shen Lian.
Zhuangzi dreamed of Shen Lian and was also Shen Lian, so naturally he was also Hunyuan Wuji.
Shen Lian replaced Ye Liuyun, and Zhuangzi could also replace him.
Of course, this rare Taoist genius from ancient times to the present may not have this idea, but he does have this ability.
The reason why Shen Lian felt that Zhuangzi might not have this idea was precisely because in another branch of destiny, Zhuangzi was undertaking the great cause of ending the Dharma. He was obviously trying a way of detachment.
Letting all sentient beings have no way and relying solely on me may be a path to transcendence.
If Zhuangzi still can't succeed, he may be Shen Lian's opponent.
Shen Lian is actually overjoyed now. On the road to transcendence, even Xuandu and Ksitigarbha are not worthy to be his equal opponents. That is because of their inherent flaws and it is difficult for them to reach the end.
Zhuangzi is different. He is looking at him from across the river of destiny and doing his own thing.
It's like the relationship between Taoist Taiyi and Buddha. There is indeed a bit of flavor between the two.
——
The mountains where the Huangquan Demon Sect is located always never see the sun. There is little wind here, but it is far colder than other places in the world. In the base camp of Huangquan Demon Sect, the Yin Qi is the heaviest. Logically speaking, there should not be any vegetation here, but there is indeed vegetation, and that is the bamboo forest.
A yellow spring rushes past the foot of the mountain. The sound of suffering beings makes people feel sad. The rustling of bamboo leaves in the distance adds to the sadness.
Ye Liuyun was dressed in white and was by the river. In this gloomy environment, he is indeed noble and noble, but he does not give people the feeling of being out of place.
Ksitigarbha was still dressed as a normal monk and came slowly from the river in the distance.
Ye Liuyun seemed to know that he was coming, so he was not surprised at all.
Ksitigarbha put his hands together and said, "Qing Emperor."
Ye Liuyun said: "Is it Ksitigarbha or Ksitigarbha Tathagata now?"
He asked the question out of the blue and seemed enigmatic.
Ksitigarbha pointed to the rustling bamboo forest and said: "These lush green bamboos are all Dharmakaya, and the rushing underworld is nothing but prajna. So what does the Qing Emperor think of a poor monk?"
Ye Liuyun smiled and said calmly: "Tathagata."
Ksitigarbha said: "It's a pity Emperor Qing. If it weren't for Shen Tianjun's superior skills, even if you are not transcendent, you are not far from transcendence."
Ye Liuyun said lightly: "I have figured this out a long time ago. It's not that Shen Lian is superior in skills, but that what I pursue is definitely not a person's detachment. I often think that if there is only one person who can be detached in the world, then this The world is really cruel. I don’t want this world to be so cruel, and I don’t want to pursue a person’s detachment.”
Ksitigarbha laughed and said, "Amitabha only said that he would lead all sentient beings, but he didn't dare to say that everyone can achieve Bodhi. Could it be that Emperor Qing still has the idea of wanting everyone to achieve Bodhi?"
Ye Liuyun said: "In this vast land, there is always birth and death. It seems that there are always joys and sorrows. I want to change this situation and establish an eternal kingdom on the earth."
