History’s Number 1 Founder

Lin Feng looked at the slit in the Death Sea from afar and saw a strip of illuminated Great Dao pathway that extended all the way into the Death Sea.

That pathway didn’t seem to follow the concepts of length and direction. In the Death Sea, it was difficult to describe its location. It just gave off the sense that it extended deeper and deeper into the Death Sea.

In the silent Death Sea, two figures seemed to have appeared.

These two figures were in the center of the Death Sea, but they also seemed so gigantic that they filled the entire Death Sea. They were extremely unpredictable.

As the pathway extended, the position of these two figures slowly became clearer to describe. They were in a plot of space that was silent and dead. The pathway continued all the way straight until it reached them, as if it was connected to where they were. It bridged the communication between the inside and outside of the Death Sea.

The Greater World, Death Sea and Spirit Sea were tightly connected. These few worlds started to jerk together at this moment.

Following a series of changes, the two figures in the Death Sea slowly became clearer to one’s eyes.

Lin Feng looked over. One of the figure’s size couldn’t be described using large and small. He seemed to fulfil both descriptions at the same time; it was very difficult to judge his size.

He seemed to be small like dust; he appeared to be an ordinary middle-aged monk in a grey robe. However, he also appeared to be as large as a Buddha that filled the universe and the entire world. He was so huge that it was inappropriate to describe him using words.

This Buddha projection appeared very dignified, majestic and divine. There were five light projections above his head, revealing the types of Nirvana. There was the Nirvana of Industry, Nirvana of Bliss, Nirvana of Happiness, Nirvana of Virtue and the Nirvana of Enlightenment. They were positioned in such a way that one projection took the center while the other four projections were located North, South, East and West to it.

This Buddha was beneath nothing and was so supreme that it was difficult to imagine or describe its presence.

It seemed to be an easy feat for him to accomplish anything that he wanted.

He never tasted or experienced any bitterness. Those who were in the same plane of space as him were relieved of their suffering and achieved happiness.

They were endowed only with glory – the personality and capability to accomplish anything that they wanted to.

Those who were with him never turned back or changed their minds…

Different types of mystical concepts were revealed and filled the Heavens, making one tempted to throw himself into the five worlds of Nirvana. Even if the Heavens and Earth was destroyed, I will not be destroyed!

The skandhas – material form, feelings, perception, mental formation and consciousness – were cleansed. The arapacanas (five wisdoms) were demonstrated and the five kleshas of egoism, ignorance, pleasure, avoidance and fear were removed.

One was calm and peaceful amidst the Forever-Bright Buddhist lights.

There were also light projections above these five worlds of Nirvana. There was one for each world of nirvana. These projections were in five balls of fire. They were Five Great Reverent Wisdom Kings – central Acala, western Vajrabhairava, eastern Trailokyavijaya, northern Vajrayaksa and southern Kundali.

Lin Feng stared at this Buddha and felt as if he was looking at himself. It was as if he was looking at intrinsic nature and the brilliance of the Heavens and Earth.

Just by looking at this Buddha, it made one feel that he was enlightened and developed a deeper understanding of Buddhism.

Lin Feng naturally recognized that this person in front of him was Emperor Ru; the Ru Lai Daoist who later became the leader of Buddhism and founder of the Great Thunderclap Temple. He was the central, second incarnation of Buddha, Shakyamuni!

The other party was also looking at Lin Feng. He was calm and natural, as if it wasn’t the arch-enemy of Buddhism in front of him but just another ordinary guy.

The two of them stared at each other but they didn’t speak. All their interactions were carried out in silence.

What made Lin Feng more concerned was the figure beside this Buddha.

Even though the arrival of the pathway close to these figures made the two figures appeared much clearer, the figure beside the Buddha still seemed very surreal.

Lin Feng felt a sense of absurdity when he saw this figure. It was as if he was facing a world.

It was different from the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses. It was entirely different from the Grand Celestial World. It was like a new Greater World.

Ever since Lin Feng came to the Grand Celestial World, it was his first time feeling that he was facing another Greater World.

Although this feeling wasn’t clear and incomplete, Lin Feng could still feel the magical feeling.

The closest he got to this feeling was when he saw Wen Chiyang in the Netherworld Sea. However, it was only a shred of Wen Chiyang’s aura then. It couldn’t compare to this person that was standing right in front of him.

Lin Feng focused his gaze and the surreal figure started to become clearer.

This person was a man who wore white. He appeared very ordinary, but it was difficult for one to tell his age.

This person had a majestic, mysterious and unpredictable aura that exuded from his body. It made one feel that he was in an unfamiliar world and needed to explore and figure things out.

The standards, concepts, principles and experiences in the original world slowly couldn’t be used on this man anymore.

If not for the fact that Lin Feng was in the Immortal Soul Third Level, he wouldn’t have been able to see this guy clearly.

The man in white seemed to be moved when he encountered Lin Feng’s gaze. He also looked back at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng stared back at him calmly. This person’s identity was evident. For someone to possess such cultivation and abilities, it could only be the Great Void Holy Man and no one else.

Outside the Death Sea, the Tai Yi Holy Man shut his eyes under the Supreme Heavenly Mirror. He seemed to have gotten much older. His aura was also getting weaker and weaker.

Even the lights from the Supreme Heavenly Mirror became much dimmer.

The Tai Yi Holy Man looked at the man in white and bowed down, “Greetings, Grandmaster.”

Lin Feng looked over and only saw the Great Void Holy Man and the Buddha. As he didn’t see Yue Huatian, he thought to himself, “Is this really the case…”

The Great Void Holy Man and Tai Yi Holy Man looked at each other. The Tai Yi Holy Man took in a deep breath and transmitted a large amount of information to the Great Void Holy Man through his gaze.

Even as things changed, the Great Void Holy Man’s gaze remained as calm as ever.

He muttered softly at times, “Extreme Spirit Shen Yuan, Hades Emperor…Chi Yang, Xinghe…Lin Feng, Heaven-Destroying Sword.”

The Great Void Holy Man’s voice became soft and gentle, but there was a conflicting sense to it. It was as if another Greater World was squeezing the boundaries of the Grand Celestial World.

After muttering to himself, the Great Void Holy Man looked at Lin Feng once again. He didn’t say anything; he only watched quietly.

The Buddha stood up at this point without saying anything. He stepped onto the pathway and started walking out of the Death Sea!

The Great Void Holy Man’s expression changed a little as the Buddha stood up. However, he remained silent.

Lin Feng realized that the silent and peaceful Dead Sea started to shake when the Buddha stood up.

However, it wasn’t too violent as the Great Void Holy Man remained seated without moving.

The Cosmic Marble Buddha, who was sat the greyish boundary between the Spirit Sea and the Death Sea, opened his eyes and looked at the Tai Yi Holy Man. He said, “The karma between us has finally been balanced today.”

After that, he looked at Lin Feng and said, “Lin Feng, show me that you are able to transcend.”

“If you’re able to transcend, there’ll be no harm waiting for you. But if you can’t, you’ll block my path. If that happens, I’ll have to battle it out with you.”

As he spoke, Shakyamuni walked out of the Death Sea and reached the greyish boundary between the Spirit Sea and Death Sea. Very soon, he entered the Spirit Sea and was back in the Greater World!

As Shakyamuni stepped out of the Death Sea, his overwhelming aura was also brought into the Spirit Sea. Even the Greater World was starting to become affected too.

All Buddhist followers, regardless of their cultivations and their virtues, felt an inspiration flashing across their heads. Their thoughts became clearer and clearer.

It seemed as the Age of Saddharma had finally arrived.

Above the Heavenly Stupa, three seats appeared. The Cosmic Marble Buddha was still in the central seat, whereas Shakyamuni sat on the left of the Cosmic Marble Buddha.

A mystical and boundless force was released from the Heavenly Stupa. The right side of the Cosmic Marble Buddha was still empty. However, countless streaks of radiance started to shine on that seat. Although there wasn’t any real figure, there were countless possibilities that were revealed.

Shakyamuni didn’t speak, whereas the Cosmic Marble Buddha said, “Excellent, excellent.”

The forty-eight thousand sariras on the Heavenly Stupa shone brightly together. Amidst the Forever-Bright Buddhist lights, there seemed to be a Buddha projection in every sarira.

The forty-eight thousand Buddhas were seated above the Heavenly Stupa and revealed the Vaidūryanirbhāsā World.

It was different from when the Cosmic Mable Buddha revealed his own powers. The Vaidūryanirbhāsā World’s Buddhist lights shone on every corner in the Spirit Sea. It even transcended the Spirit Sea and reached the Greater World.

The chants of Buddhism sounded clearly in countless worlds.

The Cosmic Marble Buddha’s forty-eight thousand palms clasped together, while Shakyamuni unleashed his palm towards Lin Feng.

As this palm was unleashed, the entire Vaidūryanirbhāsā World and Greater World started to crash towards Lin Feng.

Lin Feng chortled, “Comrade, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait some time.”

As he said, Lin Feng also unleashed his fist. The Great Dao in the Spirit Sea was summoned and supplemented Lin Feng’s fist.

The boundaries of the Spirit Sea started to shake. Light projections surfaced and revealed the vast and boundless universe. At this moment, the stars in the sky started to shake and fall. They deviated from their trajectories and the entire sea of stars in the universe started to become chaotic. It felt as if doomsday had arrived.
