546: Is Buddha originally the Tao?

I know what you're thinking.

Zheng Qiong said indifferently, "Why are Song Mingguang's talent, the Galaxy, and the Universe related to Buddhism, right?"

Actually, I can tell you clearly that the Buddhism of the outside world is called the God Spirit Esoteric Sect, and the creator of the God Spirit Esoteric Sect once had the exact same talent as Song Mingguang.

And interestingly, in the Galaxy, the founder of Buddhism is named Sakyamuni.

And the creator of the God Spirit Esoteric Sect, known to the outside world as the Holy Lord, also had the original name Sakyamuni.

However, according to the historical records of the Galaxy, Sakyamuni probably appeared more than four thousand years ago.

But the Holy Lord has been dead for tens of thousands of years.

This indicates that this Sakyamuni in the Galaxy is not the same person as the Holy Lord.

So who is this person? I don't know, but I can confirm that this fake 'Sakyamuni' is the one who brought the God Spirit Esoteric Sect into the Galaxy!

And I suspect that this fake Sakyamuni is very likely the Lord of the Hall of Gods Execution!

That is, the man who once led me to attack the Temple!

This is just my guess; I cannot confirm its authenticity, but the reason I have this conjecture stems from three points.

The first is Reincarnation! Reincarnation is a specific term of the God Spirit Esoteric Sect. You must know what it means. And why can I stand here now as 'Zheng Qiong'? Miles didn't explain it to us, but I think isn't this Reincarnation?

Second, why did Miles know the coordinates of this last Original Land in the Galaxy? Even the Lord of the Temple couldn't find it, so how did he find it?

Third, after we fled here a thousand years ago, Miles once visited a temple, and he furiously smashed all the golden statues and positions painted with gold paint!

That was the first time I saw Miles lose control of his emotions. This was very absurd, because he wasn't this angry even when he lost to the Lord of the Temple.

I saw extreme disappointment in his eyes, as if everything he saw was a disaster.

Later, his Cultivation Realm plummeted due to his injuries, leading to a day when he truly drank too much, constantly muttering things like 'the gods are dead'.

Then, before that, Liu Yuan told me some things I didn't know.

On the last day before Miles died, he set foot on a mountain called Wudang. This is your specialty.

He went in alone and chatted with the then-head of Wudang for a night. We don't know what they talked about. Liu Yuan told me that the next morning, Miles 'passed away' next to the Golden Summit of Wudang Mountain, leaving only four words as his last words.

Buddhism is originally Dao.

Therefore, if Miles was that Sakyamuni of the Galaxy, everything would make sense.

And the power Song Mingguang Awakened is called Divine Power, coming from the God Spirit Esoteric Sect, which is Buddhism, so he can use the Karma fire that Purifies all filth and evil.

I deduce that Miles must have been utterly disappointed with Buddhism a thousand years ago to be so angry. To be honest, when I learned about these things back then, I was also a bit confused. Everyone knelt before those golden statues and positions, incredibly humble, abandoning all dignity and face, praying to gods and worshipping Buddha, why?

It's for themselves!

What people often call Cultivating Buddha and meditating is merely for their own desires.

Especially things like 'Joyful Zen' are even more absurd. The principle is that if you want longevity, you shouldn't restrain your desires. Then many people indulge themselves every day, eating and drinking excessively, over-drinking, and sinking into bedroom affairs.

They called this Joyful Zen.

If Miles was 'Sakyamuni,' his extreme disappointment with them would be understandable.

Speaking of this, Zheng Qiong shook his head and said, "However, in the nearly two years since I Awakened, I have also spent a lot of time researching more about Buddhism."

In fact, most of its concepts are completely opposite to Miles's concepts.

Everyone uses all means to Cultivate Buddha, with the goal of going to the so-called Paradise of Ultimate Bliss to see the Tathagata.

What impressed me the most were the ascetics. They starved themselves, endured cold, and suffered inhumane torture, and their goal was also to go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. They believed that to go to that world, they had to endure enough suffering, so they simply took the initiative to suffer, believing this was a shortcut!

Incredible concepts!

And Miles?

Zheng Qiong smiled and said, "In his style of speaking, it should be like this."

I am the Tathagata!

In contrast, I also learned about Daoism, and their concepts are indeed very similar to Miles's!

Finally, Miles also said that Buddhism is originally Dao.

This indicates that the original Buddhism was not like its current form.

Hearing this, Zhuge Tianming asked doubtfully, "Then isn't there the God Spirit Esoteric Sect outside?"

Is the God Spirit Esoteric Sect similar to current Buddhism?

As soon as he said this, Zheng Qiong's eyebrows furrowed slightly. After a few seconds of contemplation, he said, "Now that you mention it, it really is a bit similar."

All the followers of the God Spirit Esoteric Sect Cultivate to comprehend the power that Song Mingguang now possesses.

Their saving the world and helping people, accumulating Karma, is not their original intention; it's just that the Holy Lord told them that perhaps this way they could obtain Divine Power.

Ultimately, there's no difference.

Zheng Qiong sighed and said, "It's shameful to say, but I actually stayed in the God Spirit Esoteric Sect for a few years, but during those years, there were no doctrines or anything like that. Every day I was on the mountain researching various elements and mechanisms, trying to reach the position of the Original Creator."

But I understand the Martial Arts of the God Spirit Esoteric Sect; they have a unique Realm system.

Actually, there's no difference from our Cultivation; it's just that they can Cultivate a unique power.

This power is called Holy Spirit Power by the people of the God Spirit Esoteric Sect. For people on your side, it's roughly the magical power of the Buddha.

But in my eyes, it's just pseudo-Divine Power, a crude imitation.

However, it's not entirely useless.

Holy Spirit Power indeed has many areas that can be developed, such as cooperating with Divine Dragon Power.

As they chatted, the two looked up at the Shura Killing Field.

At this moment, the time came to four in the afternoon.

The third round of the Dignity Battle officially began.

The Human Race's contestant was Ye Kuang!

The alien race's contestant was Ape Riot!

Zheng Qiong suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "It's the Shijia Clan?"
