The mountain peak was the Buddha, and it took Ning Que decades to change it to the statue of Sangsang. There was no image of the Buddha left on the surface of the cliff, but part of the Buddha still existed in the depths of the mountain. Ning Que turned himself into a Bodhi tree to lure the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to worshipping him. Buddha could no longer remain silent.
The Consciousness of Buddha came from the deepest part of the cliff and entered his heart.
“I have become Buddha,” Ning Que said to the Consciousness of Buddha. His expression was very relaxed, just like chatting with an old acquaintance.
Buddha replied, “I am still among all living beings. If you can’t find me and kill me, you will never become Buddha.”
The Buddha here was the only true Buddha in Heaven and on Earth. Ning Que knew that it was true. Just as it was impossible to kill Haotian in Haotian’s world, it was also impossible to kill Buddha in Buddha’s world, and it was even impossible to find him.
“Why are you so serious? I never thought that the inheritance of Buddhism should be like the inheritance of the throne in the human world. We can avoid the bloody massacre.” Ning said with a smile, “You being Buddha should not hinder me from becoming Buddha, for I do not want to rule your world. I am not Haotian and I am not interested in killing you. I just want to leave.”
“How can you leave?”
“I can become Buddha if I take away the wills of all living beings.”
“How can you take away the wills of all living beings?”
“You both know it. See…” Looking at the giant ship on the river, Ning Que lifted his right index finger and wrote one word in the air towards the ship.
Sangsang was in his heart, and Divine Psyche went with his finger and landed on the giant ship.
The Bodhi tree on the peak began to shake, and the green leaves fluttered in the wind, becoming more rounded and wider.
Ning Que and Sangsang repaired the statue of Buddha by the means of harmony between man and nature. The mystery around it couldn’t be described in words. The combination of Ning Que’s Buddhist Vow and Sangsang’s Divine Heart was the irresistible psyche.
The psyche fell on one Buddha on the giant ship. The psyche told that Buddha: You must believe in me. That Buddha naturally resisted the profane request. He put his palms together and kept chanting with his eyes closed, struggling to fight against the request. But he became countless light spots and then disappeared from the ship in a flash.
The next moment, that Buddha came to the summit and sat on the leaf of the Bodhi tree. He kept swaying in the wild and revealed a great awakening between his eyebrows, paying tribute to Ning Que.
At this point, two Buddhas were lured by Ning Que’s Buddhist Vow to the summit and became his followers. They began to chant devoutly with their eyes closed, and they were praising Ning Que.
Ning Que felt that a faint but real power entered his body from the Bodhi tree, making him happy but also burdensome. He realized that it was the power of faith.
In the countless cyclic existence, except for Haotian, only the Buddha knew how to collect and use the power of faith. The Headmaster of Academy might reach the state, but he refused to do it. Ning Que should not be able to comprehend the Grand Divine Ability at his current state, but he could master the skill since he was bonded with Haotian.
Influenced by the Divine Psyche of Sangsang, Ning Que closed his eyes instinctively and crushed the Consciousness of Buddha that came from the depths of the cliff. He then began to chant with the two Buddhas on the Bodhi tree.
