Regarding Xuanzhi’s question, Xu Taiping did not answer immediately.
He was seen walking to the front of that white bodhi tree, pressing his hand on the white bodhi tree, and then opening his mouth to answer：
I once promised Master Kasyapa to take a branch of the white bodhi tree and send it to the Thousand Buddha Kingdom in the Savage Heaven.
Although Xu Taiping firmly believed in Master Xuanzhi.
But this matter of inviting the Buddha to cross the west was related to his and the entire Qingxuan Sect’s life and death, and it was impossible for him to casually tell others about Lu Daoxuan’s plan.
However, after hearing that Xu Taiping’s line was to send a white bodhi tree branch to Master Kasyapa of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom, Master Xuanzhi’s eyes immediately lit up and he said:
Brother Taiping, is what you said true？
Xu Taiping nodded and said：
Naturally.
Sensing that Xuanzhi’s expression at this moment was somewhat unusual, he immediately asked Master Xuanzhi again：
“Master Xuanzhi, do you know something about this white bodhi branch？”
Hearing this, Xuanzhi looked vigilantly at the west side and said：
“Brother Taiping, wait a moment.”
As he spoke, he took out a purple-gold bowl from his sleeve and gently tapped it with a small bronze pestle.
“Dang！ …”
A extremely clear metal percussion sound spread out centered on Master Xuanzhi, extremely long.
At the same time.
Accompanied by this metal percussion sound.
Circles of golden light, like water waves rippling, kept spreading out to the west side of the two people.
In an instant, Xu Taiping only felt that the west side suddenly became extremely quiet, so quiet that the breathing sounds of several people could be heard.
Dongfang Yuejian, who was originally thinking about something, was awakened by this sudden silence and immediately turned her head to look at Master Xuanzhi and said：
“Master Xuanzhi, why did you use this method to shield the breath and investigate at this time?”
Youdaoplaceholder0, this was not the first time Dongfang Yuejian had seen Xuanzhi cast this spell.
“Amitabha …”
Master Xuanzhi first put his hands together and smiled at Dongfang Yuejian, and then turned his gaze back to Xu Taiping before opening his mouth to explain：
“This matter is of great importance and must not be heard by outsiders.”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian’s eyes were filled with curiosity, and her expression also became serious.
And at this time, Xu Taiping, who had just broken off a branch from the White Bodhi Tree, upon hearing Xuanzhi’s words, immediately asked Master Xuanzhi with some curiosity：
“Master Xuanzhi, are you referring to the matter of sending the White Bodhi Branch to the Thousand Buddha Kingdom？”
Dongfang Yuejian, upon hearing this, immediately looked towards Xuanzhi with her curious eyes.
“That’s right.”
Xuanzhi nodded, and then explained to Xu Taiping：
“Under normal circumstances, the white bodhi tree itself is not special, but if it is placed in our Buddhist sect.”
Xuanzhi paused for a moment, then put his hands together, looked up at the sky with shining eyes, and continued：
“Especially when the Buddhist fate has not been severed, the Buddhist sect can be of great use.”
When saying this, Xuanzhi lowered his head, and his eyes once again looked at Xu Taiping in front of him, and then continued：
“For our Buddhist sect, the most unique thing about the white bodhi tree is that it is the only inheritance thing that can contain Buddhist fate.”
Xuanzhi took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart before continuing：
“Master Kasyapa, asking Brother Taiping to take a white bodhi branch there must be for the purpose of inheriting the Buddhist affinity！”
“He wants to spread the Dharma to the five regions of the Upper Pure Realm！”
Once these words were spoken, even Dongfang Yuejian, who was not very familiar with the Wild Thousand Buddhas State and Buddhism, was shocked in her heart.
I only heard her say in great surprise：
“Master Xuanzhi, didn’t you say that the Buddhist fate in the Upper Clear Realm has long been severed？”
The severance of the Buddhist fate means that the cultivation base of Buddhist disciples is locked, and at most, they can only cultivate to the Buddhist realm equivalent to the cultivator’s Asking Heaven Realm.
Not to mention becoming a Buddha on the spot, even the Arhat Realm equivalent to the Harmonious Dao Realm can never be achieved.
Moreover, the cultivation base below the Arhat Realm of Buddhism has nothing to do with lifespan. Therefore, even if your qualifications and comprehension are extremely high, you will ultimately cannot escape the fate of dying of old age due to the exhaustion of lifespan.
If you can regain the inheritance of the Buddhist fate, it means that a large number of Buddhist who are about to die due to the exhaustion of lifespan will be reborn.
For example, Master Xuanzhi’s master, Faxian, the abbot of Yunyin Temple.
Master Xuanzhi shook his head, and then said with a hint of excitement in his eyes：
“The Buddhist fate in the Upper Clear Realm has indeed been severed for a long time, but just sixty or seventy years ago, several elders in the Sutra Pavilion of our Yunyin Temple sensed a trace of thesmell of the Buddhist fate in the Wild Thousand Buddhas State again.”
“If there is no accident, this trace of thesmell of the Buddhist fate comes from the ancient Buddha Kasyapa of the Thousand Buddhas State！”
The several major Buddhist temples in Youyun Tian and the Yunyin Temple in Xiliang Guo, which is famous for ascetic practice. The reason why they value Xu Taiping so much is not only because of Xu Taiping’s rescue of the several major Buddhist temples back then, but the main reason is that they sensed the breath of the Buddha fate of Kasyapa Ancient Buddha.
Xu Taiping, who had been listening silently, finally spoke at this time and said：
“Master Xuanzhi, are you sure that just one white bodhi branch can borrow a strand of Buddha fate from Kasyapa Ancient Buddha？”
The biggest purpose of Xu Taiping’s trip to the wild this time is also to invite a Buddha statue carrying Buddha fate from the Lingjiu Peak in Thousand Buddhas State. But compared to the test of climbing the Lingjiu Peak, it is much simpler to just send a white bodhi branch to the wild.
Master Xuanzhi looked at Xu Taiping in surprise.
In his opinion, if one didn’t have a deep understanding of Buddhism, one couldn’t ask this question.
However, Xuanzhi didn’t ask any more questions, but shook his head and replied：
“Indeed, just one white bodhi branch can’t carry a strand of Buddha fate.”
Dongfang Yuejian, upon hearing this, asked curiously：
“If one bodhi branch doesn’t work, then how about sending this entire white bodhi tree over？”
Master Xuanzhi shook his head seriously and said：
“Miss Dongfang, it’s not a matter of size or length. For the things in this world, unless there is an inherent inheritance of Buddhist affinity, even if you send an entire white bodhi tree, the Buddhist affinity that can be inherited will be the same.”
Saying this, Master Xuanzhi’s gaze turned to Xu Taiping again and said：
“To be precise, the inheritance that this white bodhi branch can bring back from Kasyapa Buddha is only a kind of Buddhist affinity seed.”
“To obtain a complete Buddhist affinity inheritance.”
“We must use the mana of us monks to carefully cultivate and raise this white bodhi branch until it grows back into a towering tree, and then the complete Buddhist affinity inheritance will return to the Shangqing Realm.”
Xu Taiping immediately frowned and asked：
“How many years will it take？”
Master Xuanzhi replied：
“If all the Buddhist disciples in the Shangqing Realm can work together to support this Buddhist affinity white bodhi, it should be possible to obtain a complete Buddhist affinity inheritance within two hundred years.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately said with some regret：
“Two hundred years… That’s too long.”
He had originally planned that if this white bodhi branch could inherit the complete power of Buddhist affinity, he would not bother to go to Lingjiu Peak to invite that Buddha statue.
But now that he heard from Master Xuanzhi that it would take at least two hundred years to obtain a complete Buddhist affinity inheritance through this white bodhi branch, he immediately lost interest in this matter.
Two hundred years, Qingxuan will probably have been devoured by the Great Void Calamity.
However, Master Xuanzhi was full of anticipation for this.
Just listen to him say with a bit of excitement in his tone：
Brother Taiping, for us Buddhist disciples who have lost the inheritance of Buddhist affinity for more than a hundred thousand years, two hundred years is nothing at all！
Hearing this, Xu Taiping smiled bitterly with a bit of sourness in his heart and said：
What the master said is right. This Buddhist affinity is more attractive to the Buddhist disciples in the Upper Pure Realm than anything else.
