After saying that, he started drooling.Alex was really a bit speechless. Despite being so child-like, the boy was actually so interested in the wine.Thus, he threw a wine gourd to the Ancestor Bodhi.The little fella held it and drank very carefully, as afraid to spill a drop. He had a very funny expression.In one breath, he drank half a gourd. Drawing a long breath, Ancestor Bodhi said, "I feel comfortable and alive again. Good wine is really only on earth. It’s hard to find among the gods."Although unconcerned about this, Alex asked, "Where is your real body?"The Ancestor Bodhi said, "Dead.""What?" Alex jumped."Oh, it's almost dead, so I guess it's about time."Alex snatched the wine gourd out of his hand. "Tell me in detail. What is the situation?"The Ancestor Bodhi was anxious. "Why do you grab my wine gourd? You only need to speak! The one who died was my real body, not yours. What's your hurry?"Alex made a gesture to pour out the wine in the gourd, which scare
Like a drunkard, the Ancestor Bodhi reached out and snatched the other gourd and drank its contents in one gulp.Then, he threw the empty container at Alex's body, humming, "B*stard... you too covet my true body, one that has lost its value. All right, the wine is also gone, and I am also over it. Since you want to eat me, get it done and over with!"Alex shook his head, "You're just essence now, and I'm not interested anymore. Compared to that, I should simply just drink the wine."He casually took out two more gourds.This time, he placed them a little farther away, ensuring that it was out of the Ancestor Bodhi’s reach even if he peeked over.Then, he poured himself a drink in front of Ancestor Bodhi.Ancestor Bodhi had just quenched his thirst, speaking with great righteousness and an expression of heroism.Soon, he was defeated under the fragrance of wine."You… How many of these are left?"Alex said, "There should be thousands of gourds!"Ancestor Bodhi was depressed. S
This time, Ancestor Bodhi had completely piqued Alex’s curiosity. So, Alex asked, “That Rac... who exactly is she?”Ancestor Bodhi shook his head. “I can’t say! I can’t say!”Afterward, he was filled with a fighting spirit. “This is probably the will of the Western Paradise—leaving a chance for our Buddhism. Brat, what are you waiting for? I’ll send you to Dairaionji Temple right now. Remember, my real body is at the Heart Mountain behind it. When the time comes, you...”Ancestor Bodhi whispered to Alex, telling him the key secrets of his actual body.Alex nodded.“Good brat, the revival of the Western Paradise’s Buddhist realm will depend on you.”Alex smiled. Having a vague concept about the Buddhism of Western Paradise, he had done everything just to save his father.***Whoosh!With their heads faced down, Ancestor Bodhi grabbed Alex and burrowed into the ground.“The underground air isn’t good, and there’s a strong earthen stench, so you’ll have to endure it for a bit,”
“Hey. They’re going to piss on our heads! Are you going to endure it?” Alex said to a curled-up and constipated-looking Ancestor Bodhi beside him.Ancestor Bodhi replied to him via telepathy, “I don’t mind. I’m a tree, so there must’ve been more than a few demons that had pooped and peed on me? They are all just nutrients... I even have to thank them.”“Motherf*cker...”With his X-ray vision, Alex saw that the two demons had already pulled out their junk and were ready to start peeing.How could he endure that?Was he not afraid of horrible luck?Seeing Alex about to make a move, Ancestor Bodhi immediately stopped him. “Forget it. It is much easier to resolve conflict with compromise. If you keep acting this way, you’ll easily trigger an unforeseen event.”Alex glared at Ancestor Bodhi.How could he allow that? Was he asking him to submit to humiliation?Absolutely not!A real man would know that some things must never be done. If the news about someone peeing on his head w
If discovered, he would most likely die.When bypassing the shrine, Alex heard a mighty heartbeat.Thump! Thump!It did not belong to a human—it sounded dull, yet powerful.When it reached one’s ears, one could even feel heavy coercion, involuntarily wanting to worship it.‘How powerful!’Alex was shocked.Fortunately, his physique had just undergone evolution at the Pool of Afterlife and had significantly improved, regardless of the mental body, physical body, and root bones. He didn’t use his Buddhist ability to prevent the great demon from waking up... according to Ancestor Bodhi’s reminder, that great demon had a very sensitive Buddhist aura, and it would notice even a slight fluctuation.Ten minutes later, he reached the Heart Mountain after bypassing Dairaionji Temple stealthily.Soon, he saw the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s natural body, one so enormous that it occupied almost half the mountain range. The entire Heart Mountain coupled with the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, looked lik
Being the spirit of the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, no one knew the tree better than Ancestor Bodhi himself.After all, both of them were mutually indispensable existences for countless epochs.A mark, which the spirit could not erase, had long been left on the Ancestral Bodhi Tree.“Om mani padme hum—”It was an incantation to retrieve the Ancestral Bodhi Tree—by shrinking it.Whoosh!In that instant, the Ancestral Bodhi Tree shook, and the huge, boundless canopy trembled violently.Alex looked at the rear, afraid that the demon that had just rushed down would come back. He would be in deep trouble when the time came. Fortunately, there were a lot of movements here—he was on a vast mountain, after all, so the distance was a little great, and it was not profoundly related.But soon, Alex was shocked.Not only was the Ancestral Bodhi Tree moving, but the Heart Mountain underneath moved as well.Boom! Boom!The sound it emitted was simply earth-shattering, like rolling thunder.The
“What’s the matter with you guys?” Lord Buddha asked.A female demon who had disguised herself as a white-faced monk said, “Congratulations, Lord Buddha. You’ve finally refined the Ancestral Bodhi Tree and completely controlled Dairaionji Temple. Ruling the Buddhist realm of Western Paradise is just around the corner.”Lord Buddha frowned. “Who told you that I’ve succeeded in refinement? It’s still early!”“Huh—”“You didn’t succeed?”The crowd of demons was shocked. They then looked in the direction of the previous Heart Mountain.“Lord Buddha, if you didn’t refine the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, then how did it...”Lord Buddha finally realized that the situation wasn’t right.He hurriedly walked to the side of Dairaionji Temple. After taking a look at the back, he was completely stunned.A divided soul emerged from him and rushed over like a mad dog.“My Ancestral Bodhi Tree! My Heart Mountain! Where have they gone?“Ah—! Where have they gone? Can any of you tell me?”No one co
“Bodhi, get your a*s in here!“I know you’re here! Come out and meet me right now!“You know my methods. If you dare to steal the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, I'll definitely eradicate your Buddhism and destroy your orthodoxy so Buddhism will cease to exist in the universe!”Lord Buddha could neither find the Ancestral Bodhi Tree nor any clues. He was so enraged that he almost cursed out loud. With a roar, he hoped to lure out Ancestor Bodhi with the scolding.However, there was no response.There was nothing at all.Lord Buddha searched the low-lying ground for a full hour. Only then did he leave, helpless and disappointed. However, he was obviously on the verge of an outburst. Those little demons under him dared not even make a sound, fearing Lord Buddha would exterminate them if they said something slightly wrong or any of their actions unpleasing.However, Alex could see outside from the Cleansing Vase.He came out of it only after confirming that Lord Buddha had left with many li
