Chapter 109: Issuing the Heavenly Dao Saint's Arrest Order in the Three Realms!
The primordial spirit is the foundation of a cultivator.
The pain of karmic fire scorching the primordial spirit is thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than that of the physical body.
What's more, he was constantly burned by the karmic fire of the Nine Netherworlds, enduring this pain for a full ten thousand years.
Even a quasi-saint level expert would likely suffer severe damage to their primordial spirit.
Moreover, he was a dignified ancient Buddha of Buddhism, one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, the former vice leader of the Chan Sect, and a veteran master of supernatural powers.
If Zhao Gongming were to actually banish him to the depths of hell to suffer the punishment of karmic fire, he would probably lose all face.
Losing the dough was one thing, but the terrifying pain of the karmic fire burning one's primordial spirit was truly real.
After thinking it over, Dipankara quickly looked to Subhuti for help.
Subhuti, however, gave Dipankara a reassuring look. Dipankara's identity was different; he was the vice leader of the Chan Sect who had betrayed the sect and even abducted four of Yuxu's personal disciples.
If we simply ignore it and let it be suppressed in the Netherworld, what face will Buddhism have left? Who among the great supernatural beings of the primordial world would still be willing to join Buddhism?
Thinking about this...
Subhuti, radiating the cultivation of a peak Quasi-Saint, stared directly at Zhao Gongming and said in a deep voice, "If the Emperor continues to press this aggressively, then we'll have no choice but to fight, and then we can discuss it further!"
Zhao Gongming chuckled after hearing this.
Before I could even cause you any trouble, you jumped out on your own.
Do you really think that just because someone is a saint and a good person, they can get away with anything?
He looked at Subhuti and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Subhuti, you seem to have forgotten that I have not yet pursued your matter of trespassing into the Netherworld!"
This lamp will be burned by the power of karmic fire as punishment, and fellow Daoist, you have trespassed into the Netherworld and returned, so an arrest warrant will be issued and announced throughout the Three Realms!
"Or, you can kill him right here, fellow Daoist; or you can carry his wanted poster and wander the Three Realms from now on!"
"you!"
Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Subhuti nearly fainted from anger.
Boundless Heavenly Venerable!
Is that how you use an arrest warrant?
I am a saintly and benevolent being, how dare you issue a warrant for my arrest throughout the Three Realms?
It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting.
Unfortunately, if Zhao Gongming were to actually issue the arrest warrant, his disguise would likely be completely ruined.
You'll get stared at whenever you go out!
Wherever he goes, he carries the title of the most wanted criminal in the three realms.
How can we plan a great calamity now?
Unfortunately, he was completely helpless against Zhao Gongming's shameless behavior.
Who could blame them when the Heavenly Court was now the legitimate ruler of the Three Realms, and this Emperor was the Ziwei Emperor personally recognized by the Dao Ancestor!
It's perfectly reasonable that someone would be caught red-handed trespassing into the underworld and issued an arrest warrant.
This action will not only avoid creating negative karma, but will also bring good fortune.
And what can I gain?
A wanted poster that has spread throughout the three realms?
Or is it karma imposed by Heaven?
Others may not know his identity, but Zhao Gongming, standing before him, certainly does.
The Three Corpses of a Sage represent not only himself, but also the Sage of Heaven.
If this emperor were to add a note to the wanted list, not only would he himself be disgraced, but the entire Buddhist sect would likely be condemned throughout the Three Realms.
The benevolent corpse of a certain Buddhist nun has secretly entered the underworld and disrupted its order. The Great Emperor Ziwei has been unable to apprehend it and has therefore issued a warrant for its capture across the Three Realms, requesting all cultivators of the Three Realms to apprehend it!
Thinking of this, Subhuti's lips twitched repeatedly.
As a saintly and benevolent being, even with a wanted poster on his back, naturally no one would be foolish enough to actually dare to arrest him.
However, as long as this arrest warrant exists, any future plans to carry out a robbery will no longer be successful.
He could even imagine it: for example, when he was accepting disciples, Zhao Gongming would land on his Nine Dragon Sandalwood Chariot and suddenly say, "Subhuti, I've finally caught you! I have already proclaimed your crimes to the Three Realms. Why don't you quickly submit to the law and come with me to the Heavenly Prison!"
His prestige shattered instantly, and any disciple who came to become his apprentice would have to run away on the spot.
After a bout of toothache, Subhuti could only say, "In that case, Your Majesty, please arrange for Samantabhadra to enter the cycle of reincarnation according to the order of the underworld!"
Forget about Heaven's will. This disciple of Yuxu, a Buddhist bodhisattva, can still be saved as long as he doesn't fall into the Asura realm.
After hearing Subhuti's words, Dipankara could only reluctantly hand over the soul of Samantabhadra to Zhao Gongming.
Looking at the soul of Samantabhadra in his hand, Zhao Gongming assessed it briefly and continued, "This person is burdened by karmic obstacles and cannot enter the realms of gods and humans!"
According to the laws of the underworld, one must undergo ten lifetimes of reincarnation in the animal realm before being reborn as a human!
Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Randeng was the first to lose his composure.
Everyone knows that Yu Xu, the personal disciple, despises those who look down on livestock and those covered in scales and armor.
Now they've actually made him reincarnate in the animal realm for ten lifetimes. The last Taiyi Zhenren who did this seems to have been completely ruined and hasn't recovered yet!
At Subhuti's prompting, Dipankara spoke up, "Your Majesty, regarding this matter..."
Before Ran Deng could finish speaking, Zhao Gongming interrupted him, saying, "Don't speak yet, your sins have not been fully discussed!"
Of course, if you do not wish for Samantabhadra to enter the cycle of reincarnation, you may take his soul away, reshape his body, or place him in the womb of a pregnant woman!
However, you will have to bear the consequences yourself!
Hey!
Please choose, both of you!
Zhao Gongming gave them a choice, but how could they choose?
Since Houtu transformed into the cycle of reincarnation and created the underworld, the laws of heaven have already changed.
When a living being dies, its soul is reincarnated directly without going through the six realms of reincarnation; that is subject to cause and effect and karma.
As for reshaping the body, the Buddhist sect has already invested so much in Samantabhadra; the merit lotus and lotus seeds are not as common as cabbage.
The Western Religion has already lost three grades of Golden Lotus. This batch of Merit Golden Lotus seeds is the last remaining stock, and every one used will reduce the supply.
Moreover, even if one were to truly reshape their body with the lotus seeds of the Golden Lotus of Merit, there would still be an upper limit to the foundation. At most, one could only reap a piece of trash who could only cultivate to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.
All previous investments will be wasted.
After weighing the pros and cons, Subhuti had no choice but to say, "Let it be as the Emperor says, and let him reincarnate for ten lifetimes!"
Let them be reborn in the animal realm!
Who told you to offend this Ziwei Emperor so badly?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming casually cast Puxian's soul into the animal realm.
Upon seeing this, Subhuti and his companion both felt their eyelids twitch.
What kind of deep-seated hatred or resentment could this be?
They didn't even give him the Meng Po soup, and just threw him directly into the animal realm?
Right now, we can only hope that Samantabhadra's mind and character are extraordinary!
When Subhuti saw that Samantabhadra had been reborn as an animal, he turned around and left the underworld.
Seeing this, Ran Deng also prepared to make a run for it.
But before he could even lift his foot, he heard Zhao Gongming's voice rang out, "The matter of Puxian is settled!"
Dipankara Buddha, next, it is up to you to go to the Netherworld.
"Or should I personally escort you there?"
