Chapter 441 - 303: Past Buddha, The Emergence of the Celestial Position (Part 3)

The word ’Master’ echoed loudly in Hong Tianbao’s mind.

He widened his eyes and suddenly saw the World Venerate’s head transform into three—one head was obscured by a mist of chaos and Dao charm, unclear;

another head was indescribably beautiful, surrounded by Buddha’s Light and resonating Brahma Sound;

the last head seemed quite ordinary, yet it was deeply familiar to him.

Hong Tianbao stood frozen in place for a moment.

"Fu... Fusheng?"

"It’s me."

Zhang Fusheng withdrew his Fuli Dharma Body, reverting back to the appearance of the World-Honored One Buddha, and gently waved his hand.

The Vajra Pestle above Hong Tianbao’s head dissipated like smoky clouds, and the severe wounds on his body rapidly healed, making his body as pure as crystal in an instant.

In the brain’s crash,

Hong Tianbao heard the beautiful one softly say:

"Second Senior Sister and Third Senior Sister have already left the Other Shore World, but rest assured, I am constantly aware of their situation, and they won’t encounter any danger."

Long before the Buddha’s birthday, the two had already escaped from the Other Shore World—at that time, it was still known as Chongyang Heaven and Earth.

Their paths never crossed, naturally, they remained unrecognized.

"Master, Ling Mountain is about to rise again, rising from my hands. Will you... return to Ling Mountain?"

Listening to the beautiful one, Hong Tianbao suddenly awoke, staring blankly at the face full of profound purity, wisdom, and brightness,

he murmured:

"How did you reach this point?"

Zhang Fusheng replied:

"By chance."

Hong Tianbao tightly tugged at his long beard, suddenly laughing, laughing until tears welled up!

Yet he waved his hand, shaking his head:

"I cannot return to Ling Mountain. If I were to revert to the Ling Mountain lineage, how would you position yourself? Are you not now the master of the Ling Mountain lineage?"

Zhang Fusheng understood, realizing the master was worried about returning to the Ling Mountain lineage and affecting his own ’authority’.

He smiled peacefully and said:

"I have reserved a place for you in Ling Mountain. If you wish to rejoin the Ling Mountain, there will be no trouble."

Hong Tianbao hesitated, but saw the exceedingly beautiful youth make a decision:

"Let it be settled then."

As soon as Hong Tianbao was about to respond, the ten sacred Grotto Heavens surrounding Zhang Fusheng thundered simultaneously,

his smile faded, and he suddenly became dignified, chanting grand sounds like a tide:

"There is Hong Tianbao, the Buddha’s Master, now returning to Ling Mountain, becoming—"

"Lamp Lighting Ancient Buddha, Steadfast Light Tathagata."

"Having become a Buddha, there should be three hundred and sixty Grotto Heavens, enduring the Five Declines, untainted by worldly calamities, walking the path of light, bearing the Bodhi Tree."

With each word and phrase, each statement like golden utterance and words and laws follow.

Thus.

In Hong Tianbao’s bewildered gaze, he was already qualified to sit on the "Lamp Lighting Buddha Ancestor Celestial Position", and in that very moment,

he transformed from an Innate Realm into the limit of a Celestial Human, adorned with three hundred and sixty Grotto Heavens, having endured the Five Declines’ great trials,

and over thirty percent of his mind transformed into Bodhi thoughts, manifesting as a Bodhi Tree behind him!

Saint’s Golden Body, words and laws follow.

Unfortunately, this was Zhang Fusheng’s current limit—if he wanted to command and create a Divine Spirit with words?

He estimated that it might require him to reach the levels of a Great Divine Power User or even a True Saint.

But it was enough.

Buddha’s Light surged atop Other Shore Mountain, Hong Tianbao gradually embodied dignity, he clasped his hands towards Zhang Fusheng:

"World-Honored One Buddha."

Zhang Fusheng returned the gesture, smiling and said:

"Steadfast Light Tathagata."

Past Buddha meets the Now Buddha.

"Thus."

The World-Honored One’s expression returned to calm:

"Just need to find Ling Mountain’s lost celestial positions, then our Ling Mountain can return to its true form."

Through Three Historical Buddhas, Past Lamp Lighting, Now Tathagata, Future Maitreya.

Lamp Lighting is present, Tathagata is here, but Maitreya—remains a Little Child for now.

Yet Ling Mountain truly possesses the essence of Ling Mountain.

What is missing are the various celestial positions.

Tathagata Celestial Position, after another forty-two days under Zhang Fusheng’s Bodhi Tree, shall naturally descend, but as for the other celestial positions?

Only Ksitigarbha is held in Zhang Fusheng’s hands.

All others, their whereabouts remain unknown—a vast majority vanished into the void after the gods of the Ling Mountain lineage were besieged decades ago.

But just as Zhang Fusheng completed the Tathagata mandate, the Tathagata Celestial Position would naturally manifest,

fulfilling the mandate of the Ling Mountain celestial positions will naturally cause the corresponding positions to emerge and descend from the void.

Just like now.

"What is that..." Hong Tianbao stared dumbfounded at the Celestial Vault.

The void surged, chaos rolled, clearly revealing a corner of a Different Dimension, emerging and descending,

Followed by its emergence and descent, was the "Lamp Lighting Celestial Position."
