Should he take this senior as his master?
This senior seemed to be very powerful. If he refused, would he be killed?
Mo Luantian was very conflicted.
He had never heard of Buddhism. Even though this senior seemed to be extremely powerful, how powerful could an unknown force or race be?
The upper limit was definitely not high.
Thinking back to his ancient demon inheritance, he considered refusing.
The Ancient Demon was an extremely powerful existence.
Legend had it that the Ancient Demon once suppressed the human race.
This senior looked extremely powerful but, no matter how powerful he was, the Ancient Demon was stronger, right?
In the future, he would become the Ancient Demon and rule the heavenly demon tribe.
"Senior, please forgive me. As a demon, I, Mo Luantian, am focused on cultivating the inheritance of the demon race and have no interest in cultivating other techniques!"
Mo Luantian gritted his teeth and said.
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows, and was a little surprised. He had made such a grand and awe-inspiring entrance, but this kid was actually not willing to acknowledge him as his master?
He was truly walking a narrow path.
"Young man, us meeting itself is fate. This venerable one can see that you possess some measure of wisdom, so I made an exception to accept you as my disciple."
"The demonic path has no future. Young man, don't walk a narrow path."
Chu Xuan was not flustered at all. He had become very skilled at deceiving people.
The reason why Mo Luantian did not acknowledge him as his master was because he felt that Buddhism was a faction or race with no future.
On top of that, he possessed the inheritance of the Ancient Demon, so he believed his own future to be boundless.
"The nine zones are just a desolate corner of the myriad realms. How can you understand how vast the universe is when you only live in a small corner of it? The Ancient Demon of your demon race was just an average character in the myriad realms. How could someone like that compare to me?"
"Buddhism is the true path. This is where your talent lies. Don't miss out on this opportunity."
Mo Luantian's heart trembled. Myriad realms?
Ancient Demon was only an average existence in the myriad realms?
He was somewhat moved. Could it be that Buddhism was really that powerful?
Was the Ancient Demon really that weak?
"May I ask Senior, what are the myriad realms?"
"The myriad realms are boundless and contain countless experts. Only those who reach the so-called Divine realm of the nine zones have the ability to reach the myriad realms."
"Young man, joining the Buddhist sect is the right path for you. The myriad realms of the heavens is where your true path lies. The tiny Demon Zone and the heavenly demon tribe are just stepping stones."
"The Buddhist Dharma is boundless and merciful. You begrudge the heavenly demon tribe, but no matter how strong you are, you are still a demon. However, what if you become a Buddha? If you turn the demons into Buddhas, you will become the founder of the Buddhist race of the nine zones, and not merely one of the chosen ones of the younger generation of the demon race."
Chu Xuan smiled as he pulled Mo Luantian into his imagined world of grandeur and endless possibilities.
It was self-evident that someone as ambitious as Mo Luantian would want to become an ancestor or forefather of the demon race.
Mo Luantuan's heart trembled. He was captivated.
It all made sense. No matter how strong he was, he was still a descendant of the demon race. At most, he would be a top-notch descendant of the demon race.
However, what if he founded a race?
"Senior, you said that the Buddhist dharma is boundless. How powerful is it?"
Mo Luantian wanted to test whether the Buddhist dharma was stronger or weaker than his ancient demonic power.
If the Buddhist dharma was strong, he would not hesitate and would immediately become a disciple of the Buddhist sect.
However, if it was not as strong as the ancient demonic power...
Chu Xuan waved his hand, and a strand of Buddhist power flew over.
This strand of Buddhist power was only at the second level of the truth realm.
Buddhist dharma had a strong restraining effect on demonic power. Even though it was at the second level of the truth realm, it was more than enough to restrain Mo Luantian's ancient demonic power.
The outcome of this test bore no suspense.
Chu Xuan could not help but sigh. Mo Luantian did not bow his head immediately. It could be seen that he was very confident in his ancient demonic inheritance.
He was also very vigilant.
"This tiny bit of Buddhist power is weaker than your demonic power, but it can defeat your demonic power."
Mo Luantian was full of trepidation. When he sensed that the vast and majestic Buddhist power was only at the second level of the truth realm, he let out a sigh of relief.
The demonic power in his body surged and he directly threw a punch with all of his strength.
Chi!
However, when Mo Luantian's demonic power met the Buddhist power, it made sizzling sounds and started to melt away.
It was completely suppressed.
It was as if it had met its nemesis.
Mo Luantian was shocked. He could sense that this Buddhist power was really only at the second level of the truth realm.
It did not contain any special characteristics either.
In addition, his ancient demonic power was stronger than ordinary demonic power, or even the heavenly demon tribe's demonic power.
Even so, it was suppressed by that tiny bit of Buddhist power.
Had it been any other demonic power, it would have collapsed even faster.
The Buddhist dharma was too powerful.
This was a great opportunity!
Plop!
Mo Luantian was also a decisive person. He immediately knelt down to acknowledge Chu Xuan as his master.
"Disciple Mo Luantian greets Master!"
Dong! Dong! Dong!
"Amitabha, Buddha, good, good!"
Chu Xuan chanted the name of Buddha.
"Since you have joined the Buddhist sect, you should accept its commandment and get rid of the 3,000 strands of vexation!"
"Yes, Master!"
Mo Luantian knelt on the ground respectfully.
Chu Xuan waved his hand and a stream of power was transmitted over. He wiped Mo Luantian's head and all of his hair fell off, revealing a bald head.
As for the other Buddhist precepts and rules, Chu Xuan did not pass them on. Those precepts and rules would be left to Mo Luantian to comprehend on his own from the Buddhist dharma.
He had founded Buddhism in this world, but he would not copy those precepts and rules from his previous world.
However, there were some Buddhist scriptures that were handed over to Mo Luantian and Buddha Nanwu to comprehend on their own.
Since Mo Luantian was now his disciple, Chu Xuan decided to teach him the current Tathagata Sutra from the Three Lives Buddhist scripture.
This Buddhist sutra contained many Buddhist divine techniques, and had been the main cultivation technique of Tathagata.
It was not all taught to Mo Luantian in one go. This fellow was currently cultivating an ancient demonic cultivation technique, so before cultivating the Buddhist sutra, he needed to convert the demonic power into Buddhist power.
This was not a big problem. He would just need to spend a little time on it.
Moreover, Mo Luantian's cultivation would drop to a certain extent.
"I'll pass you the Buddhist dharma now."
Chu Xuan spoke and chose the Vairocana Sutra, the indestructible golden body, and other Buddhist techniques to pass on to Mo Luantian.
Since he was a monk, how could he not have a monk robe and staff?
Chu Xuan quickly refined a monk robe, staff, and an alms bowl, and passed it to Mo Luantian.
"You've just entered the Buddhist sect, and your cultivation is low. I'll pass on the monk robe, staff, and alms bowl to you."
Mo Luantian received the monk robe, staff, and alms bowl. He was shocked. These were actually Heavenly artifacts!
They also had many magical effects that far surpassed ordinary Heavenly artifacts.
This was only the starting point.
Chu Xuan was not surprised by Mo Luantian's reaction at all.
He was satisfied with his accomplishment of refining his first artifacts, which had turned out to be Heavenly artifacts. Moreover, he added many wonderful uses and functions according to his own ideas.
For example, restraining one's aura, concealing treasures, and so on.
After passing on the technique to Mo Luantian, Chu Xuan was still a little worried. After all, Mo Luantian was very ambitious.
Although he had accepted Chu Xuan as his master, he had not sincerely converted to Buddhism, nor did he have any awareness of how to be a monk.
He only cultivated Buddhist cultivation techniques.
This was not acceptable in the long run.
What Chu Xuan needed was a true Buddha.
At that moment, he chanted Buddhist mantras to Mo Luantian, enlightening him onto the path of Buddhism.
In order to create a Buddhist race in this world, he had put in a lot of effort.
As such, he used his identity as Buddha to enlighten Mo Luantian.
As he recited the mantras, mysterious runes floated into the Myriad Heavenly Mirror, enveloping Mo Luantian.
Gradually, Mo Luantian sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands clasped together, his brows lowered, as he too chanted the mantras, and his body began to radiate Buddhist light.
The ancient demonic power in his body was gradually being converted into Buddhist power.
