Chapter 655: Chapter 20: Celestial Emperor’s Strife, Amitabha

Six Desire Heavens, Yama Heaven.

This is the Third Heaven that transcends the Four Heavenly Kings Heaven and Toli Heaven.

The pervasive Buddha Country is a characteristic here, with ubiquitous Buddha Light and Brahma Sound symbolizing the power of the Buddhas.

Behind each piece of Buddha Light and every Brahma Sound is a Buddha’s realm, a dwelling for countless Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Bhikkhus, and Celestial Concubines.

Since they are embodiments of Right Mindfulness, the Eight Divisions almost always avoid traveling through Yama Heaven.

In today’s Six Desire Heavens, the only force among the Eight Divisions capable of contending with this group of Buddhas is none other than the leader who united the Eight Divisions—Di Shitian · Indra.

Unfortunately, though he unified the Eight Divisions and became the acknowledged ruler of Toli Heaven,

his position is not secure, and it’s not uncommon for challengers to emerge.

Among these challengers, the Asuras are the most frequent.

Each time, they set Toli Heaven into turmoil and unrest.

Especially after the Asura Race from the Netherworld attempted to contact Six Desire Heavens, everyone understood that the mastermind behind the Asura Race is a Pathfinder.

He attained the Asura Path during Lord of the Netherworld’s reincarnation, becoming one of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Since then, every sentient being has a chance to reincarnate as part of the Asura Race.

This implies that the Asura Race will continue endlessly.

Until that Pathfinder perishes, and the Asura Path is removed from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

In other words, as long as that Pathfinder lives, Di Shitian’s position will always be challenged by the Asuras.

For it is a promise made by the Tao Ancestor himself—the "Celestial Emperor’s Position," and everyone acquainted with this promise knows its value.

To put it bluntly, whoever can seize the "Celestial Emperor’s Position" from Di Shitian would have one foot in the Pathfinders’ ranks.

In fact, no one can resist such temptation.

So aside from the Asuras, other Demon Kings among the Eight Divisions, and even Buddhas, will secretly set traps for Di Shitian.

Especially after Miaoshan returned to the world as "Guanyin Bodhisattva," the Buddhas, seeing hope, began taking various actions.

This includes attempting to claim the "Celestial Emperor’s Position" from Di Shitian.

This might also be the inevitable fate for all who bear the name of "Celestial Emperor."

Emperor Hao struggles within the cycles of history, becoming the ultimate boss that countless Pathfinders face when tracing back to the past and rewriting origins.

Di Shitian, on the other hand, stands firm in this Six Desire Heavens, becoming the coveted target that numerous ambitious individuals will not overlook in their quest for power and authority.

"So, who is causing trouble this time?"

Standing at the highest point of Mount Sumeru, Di Shitian looked up at the infinite Buddha Light in the sky and asked.

Amidst that infinite Buddha Light, a space fissure as clear as a mirror could be seen.

It was a temporal spatial fissure leading to some Buddha Country.

The reflected scene of a Buddha Country could be vaguely seen.

"That is Amitabha Buddha’s Buddha Country."

At this moment, Lu Ya silently appeared behind Di Shitian.

As the Great Roc with Golden Wings, he had completely folded his wings, appearing just like an ordinary person.

"Amitabha Buddha?"

Frowning slightly, Di Shitian quickly recalled everything about Amitabha Buddha.

"Is he the Buddha who went to the Netherworld for reincarnation?"

With a hint of surprise, when Di Shitian looked at that Buddha Country again, his gaze had somewhat changed.

"When did he return? How did he return?"

Amitabha Buddha, also known as Amitabha Buddha of Infinite Light and Amitayus Buddha of Infinite Life.

"Infinite Light" represents his Buddha Light illuminating the ten directions, dispelling the ignorance and vexations of sentient beings.

"Infinite Life" signifies his dharma body being eternally indestructible, providing enduring protection to all beings.

This Amitabha Buddha was not among the first Buddha born, but among all Buddhas, he is the most insightful.

Especially after he decided to walk into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, his fame was scarcely less than that of Miaoshan.

Everyone awaited his return to confirm the possibility of a Buddha reincarnating into the Six Paths for renewed cultivation.

"The time isn’t long; converted into worldly time, it’s only a few years."

Being equally well-informed about Amitabha Buddha, Lu Ya continued explaining calmly.

Due to the enormous time flow difference in the Six Desire Heavens,

from the moment Di Shitian saw that temporal fissure to now, indeed, only a few years had passed in the real world.

Not to mention, within Buddha Countries, the time flow rates vary vastly.

"I see you know so much about it..."

Suddenly turning to Lu Ya behind him, Di Shitian asked calmly.

"Aren’t you planning to give up going to the mortal realm?"

However, as if prepared, Lu Ya calmly unfurled his wings and replied firmly.

"I am the Golden Crow, not a Garuda of the Six Desire Heavens."

"One day, I will defeat you and become the new Celestial Emperor."

"And to achieve that, I must first journey to the mortal realm to cultivate the true Celestial Human Technique!"

Though Lu Ya did not know Di Shitian’s true identity, he had vaguely realized the gap between them.

Continuing to grow in the way of the Eight Divisions, he stood no chance against Di Shitian.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if you truly want to go to the mortal realm, you merely need to abandon your past obsessions."

Shaking his head regretfully, Di Shitian replied leisurely.

Abandoning past obsessions and departing the Six Desire Heavens to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation was, after all, the official path planned by Li Boyang.

Alas, obsessions are never easily relinquished just by saying so.

Moreover, for someone as proud as Lu Ya, asking him to give up his obsessions was tantamount to killing him again.

"Impossible, I will never forget my identity."

"I am the Golden Crow, the son of the Celestial Emperor, the most legitimate candidate for the Celestial Emperor!"

With eyes suddenly widened, Lu Ya looked at Di Shitian and rebutted almost word by word.

"In the future, not only will I become the Celestial Emperor of the Six Desire Heavens, but I will also become the Celestial Emperor of the Three Realms, surpassing even the Tao Ancestor!"

Watching Lu Ya’s boastful words quietly, Di Shitian recognized this as a trait common to all Demon Kings.

Ever since he reincarnated as Garuda, Lu Ya had become a symbol of anger and greed.

If he were so easily persuaded, Lu Ya would have already left the Six Desire Heavens.

Unwilling to relinquish obsessions.

Lu Ya must either attain enlightenment, becoming a high-dimensional being unbound by the Six Desire Heavens,

or find various shortcuts to escape the Six Desire Heavens.

This path of reincarnation trod by Amitabha Buddha is a shortcut all cultivators from the mortal realm are watching.

If it’s confirmed that Amitabha Buddha returned with memories after reincarnation, it would be enough to gamble for all cultivators, including Lu Ya.
