Taoist Hongjun was not a bloodthirsty and indiscriminate person. Although the Tathagata Buddha and the Lingshan Buddhists in front of him had made a big mistake, he still did not kill them directly.

These people in front of me are all loyal people.

In their hearts, they may not all feel that what Tathagata Buddha did was right.

But out of respect for Tathagata Buddha, they still chose to attack the heaven.

In the eyes of people in heaven and in the underworld, Tathagata Buddha's actions must have felt that he was wrong.

But what he said was not unreasonable.

Let me ask, who wants to be always superior to oneself and always above oneself?

He wants Buddhism to have higher status and rights. What's wrong with that?

It's just that everyone's perspective is different, so they naturally view the problem differently.

Some problems can be understood in the heart, but cannot be spoken out. That was the case for Taoist Hongjun at this time.

From the perspective of heaven, what Tathagata Buddha did was wrong. He could not comment on Tathagata Buddha's affairs at this time, otherwise he would be considered a "traitor" by heaven.

He can only consider issues from the perspective of Heaven and must speak for Heaven.

For Taoist Hongjun to be able to give Tathagata Buddha a chance to make his own choice, he was already leaving a message to the other party, and you could hear it from his words.

If Tathagata Buddha chooses to be killed voluntarily, then other people from Lingshan Buddhism will have a chance to live.

"Buddha, we are willing to live and die together."

"Buddha, we still have the strength to fight. We are willing to hold them back with our lives. Please leave quickly!"

"If you want to hurt me, Buddha, just step over my body..."

Taoist Hongjun asked Tathagata Buddha to choose for himself, and Tathagata Buddha frowned and pondered.

After all, this was a life-related choice, and he couldn't make his decision all at once.

While he was thinking, other people in Lingshan Buddhism got angry.

After working on it for a long time, Taoist Hongjun finally wanted Tathagata Buddha to die. How could they agree?

Everyone in the Lingshan Buddhist sect was angry. They all glared at Taoist Hongjun and Ji Yang and shouted loudly.

Tathagata Buddha is a necessary condition for Ji Yang to advance to the first-level immortal position, so he must die. What is the truth?

Then why didn't Ji Yang give up on improving his cultivation?

"Master!"

The surrounding Buddhist sects in Lingshan were angry, and one by one they burst out with Buddhist energy.

A strong pressure rushed towards him, and it didn't matter that Hongjun Daozu's distant immortal energy blocked it, but Ji Yang couldn't stand it.

After all, he only has a second-grade immortal cultivation level, but among the Buddhists in front of him, there are many who are stronger than him individually. When they burst out with immortal energy to put pressure on them, Ji Yang can't stop them even if he uses his immortal energy to resist.

He stood behind Daozu Hongjun with a painful expression, using Daozu Hongjun to help him block the pressure.

Although this approach seems a bit embarrassing, there is nothing you can do about it.

When he was in the mortal world, although he couldn't be said to be invincible, he was still quite strong.

Looking at it now, other Ji Yang is probably the same.

This made Ji Yang even more eager to reach the first-level immortal position, because only by reaching the first-level immortal position could he truly be considered a strong man in a place like Heaven.

"Cultivation is the foundation for establishing a foothold. There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world. Have you realized it now?"

Ji Yang hid behind him, and Taoist Hongjun smiled slightly.

He did not laugh at Ji Yang's idea, but expressed his appreciation for Ji Yang's doing so.

He felt that Ji Yang was a person who knew how to look at moderation.

It is good to know that you are not good enough and will not try to show off your abilities.

This kind of personality can also make people live longer, which is in sharp contrast to the clamoring Lingshan Buddhist people in front of them.

If Taoist Hongjun hadn't deliberately spared their lives and had taken action directly now, these people would not have survived.

"I've always understood this."

When Ji Yang heard this, he smiled bitterly and replied softly.

Ji Yang has never denied this sentence.

But today, I have experienced it more closely.

"Shut up!"

Taoist Hongjun had no regard for the people of Lingshan Buddhism.

Anyway, now they are just shouting, at most releasing some pressure, but not really taking action.

If they really dare to take action, Taoist Hongjun will not be polite.

He has already given the other party enough opportunities, but if the other party refuses and wants to die, he will definitely satisfy them.

Hongjun Daozu ignored it, but Tathagata Buddha could not ignore it.

He shouted loudly, and the people around him fell silent instantly.

Everyone is willing to die for themselves, but he cannot let them die.

After scolding everyone, Tathagata Buddha raised his feet and walked towards Taoist Hongjun.

"Daozu Hongjun, if I am willing to use my life to help him improve his cultivation, will you really let them go?"

Tathagata Buddha chose to attack Heaven not just for himself, but for the entire Lingshan Buddhism.

In his heart, the development of Lingshan Buddhism is more important than his own life and his reputation.

Everything he did was for the better development of Lingshan Buddhism.

The development of Lingshan Buddhism is based on believers. If everyone dies, Lingshan Buddhism will cease to exist.

So after thinking for a moment, Tathagata Buddha came up with a plan, that is, he was willing to sacrifice his life to save the lives of others.

"Buddha, no, we...

"Shut up, everyone. I have made up my mind. You don't need to say anything else... Daozu Hongjun, can you guarantee that they will all survive?"

Everyone in the Lingshan Buddhist sect disagreed with Tathagata Buddha's decision.

But their opposition could not change Tathagata Buddha's mind.

Tathagata Buddha just looked at Taoist Hongjun, waiting for him to assure himself.

"I guarantee their thoroughness."

Hongjun Daozu did not hesitate and answered affirmatively.

Since he would make this request, he would naturally be sure to ensure the safety of other people's lives.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

It is not easy for Lingshan Buddhism to develop to this day, and it has been benefiting the three realms and has done so many good deeds for the mortal world that it is difficult to count.

Apart from the mistake of attacking Heaven this time, Lingshan Buddhism has not made any other mistakes.

Someone still needs to do it to save the world, and the status of Lingshan Buddhism is irreplaceable.

It was out of these considerations that Patriarch Hongjun gave Tathagata the opportunity to choose.

If the other party doesn't agree, Taozu Hongjun will also have a hard time doing it.

Now that the other party agrees, he will explain these principles to the people in heaven afterwards, and they will naturally understand.

"I believe in you, Ji Yang, my life is yours."

With Patriarch Hongjun's guarantee, Tathagata Buddha was relieved.

He looked at Ji Yang and said decisively.

Ji Yang looked at the Tathagata Buddha in front of him with complicated eyes.
