Chapter 85 The Buddha's Decree: Burn It First
The Buddha's decree arrived in Chang'an.
The purpose was to make it public at the market.
People flocked to watch.
"Xuanzang is a wicked monk who bewitches people."
"Those who make offerings to it will have their blessings diminished and their lifespan shortened."
"Abolish Protestantism within three days and pardon the entire city."
The crowd erupted in chaos.
"Reduces blessings and shortens lifespan?"
"Will our lifespan be shortened by worshipping Master Xuanzang?"
"What...what should we do?"
"Who dares disobey the Buddha's decree?"
The people were in a state of panic.
Some people knelt down on the spot.
"Buddha, please forgive me!"
"We had no idea that Xuanzang was a demonic monk!"
"Go back and remove the offerings immediately!"
In a short while.
There were dozens of Protestant temples in Chang'an.
The number of worshippers has decreased sharply.
The people were in a state of panic.
They were afraid of getting involved in the karma.
He will have his lifespan reduced by ten years.
Who isn't afraid?
The news spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.
Each state and county.
Panic.
Is Protestantism a cult?
"Even Buddha is angry!"
"Remove the Buddha statue immediately!"
"To avoid getting into trouble!"
Three days.
The number of people offering incense has decreased by 70%.
Xuanzang's New Teachings.
The situation is extremely critical.
Chen Fan stood atop Huaguo Mountain.
Listening to the report.
His expression was calm.
"Buddha has finally made his move."
Yu Rong Wang frowned.
"This plan is ruthless."
"People fear shortening their lifespan."
"No one dares to support Protestantism."
"There is no incense offering."
"Protestantism collapsed on its own."
Chen Fan sneered.
"Incense offerings?"
"The Tathagata believed..."
"Was the offering of incense obtained through threats?"
He was wrong.
"Pass on the order."
"Tomorrow at noon."
"Chang'an City".
"Publicly preach the law."
"To carry out the Buddha's decree."
"Tread on them."
The next day.
Chang'an City.
In front of the Protestant temple.
Crowds of people.
Xuanzang ascends the stage.
Chen Fan and the Six-Eared Macaque followed behind.
The crowd gathered to watch.
There was a lot of discussion.
"Master Xuanzang has arrived!"
"He really dares to come?"
"Is this a decree from Buddha? Isn't he afraid of shortening his lifespan?"
Xuanzang raised his hand.
The entire room fell silent.
He spoke.
The voice was calm.
"The Tathagata's decree."
"Everyone has seen it."
"He said."
"Those who offer me alms."
"It reduces blessings and shortens lifespan."
People are tense.
Xuanzang chuckled.
"Buddha."
"Have compassion in your heart."
"To save all living beings."
"When did it become a tool to threaten all living beings?"
"If Buddha."
"Using blessings and longevity to threaten the masses."
"Then it is not worthy to be called Buddha."
"He's nothing but a dictator."
"It's nothing but oppressing the masses."
The people were shocked.
"Master Xuanzang is right!"
"How could Buddha threaten us?"
"There must be something fishy going on!"
Xuanzang continued.
"I will spread the new law."
"For the sake of equality for all beings."
"Everyone can become a Buddha."
"Buddha was afraid."
"He fears that all living beings will awaken."
"I fear that people will no longer revere gods and Buddhas."
"Therefore, this is the worst possible course of action."
"The more he threatens..."
"The more it proves he's afraid."
This statement came out.
The entire venue erupted in cheers.
"right!"
"The Buddha was afraid!"
"He's threatening us!"
"What are we afraid of!"
moment.
The incense offerings have returned.
Chen Fan stepped forward.
He held up the Buddha's decree in his hand.
"today."
"Then let the Buddha know."
"Living beings are not easily frightened."
He lit the imperial edict.
Flames ignited.
The people gasped in surprise.
"He's burning the Buddha's decree!"
"This is insane!"
"madman!"
Chen Fan's voice was like thunder.
"Buddha!"
"You intend to suppress all living beings with blessings and longevity?"
"I'll tell you today."
"It's no use!"
"The imperial edict has been burned."
"I accept the incense offering!"
Flames rose.
Strange things are happening.
The power of incense offerings.
Swarmed.
Drawn by the flames.
It flowed into Chen Fan's body.
His aura surged dramatically.
Middle Earth Immortal!
Post-production!

Xuanzang and the Six-Eared Macaque.
A similar breakthrough.
Offerings are a way of giving back to the ancestors.

The entire audience was shocked.
"Can a decree attract offerings?"
"Is Buddha helping us?"
He shot himself in the foot!
The people laughed wildly.
"Buddha is an idiot!"
"Good riddance on the burning of the imperial edict!"
"Serves you right!"
Chen Fan waved.
The imperial edict turned to ashes.
He sneered.
"Tathagata"
"This palm strike."
"Here you go."
Outside Chang'an City.
The sky suddenly changed.
A golden Buddha's palm.
It was taken remotely.
Cover the sky.
It has a diameter of 100 zhang (approximately 33 meters).
The palm hasn't reached it yet.
The pressure has arrived.
The people changed color.
"The Buddha has made his move!"
"escape!"
"It's too late!"
The Buddha's palm descended.
Chen Fan looked up.
His eyes were cold.
"It's finally here."
He took a step forward.
His aura exploded.
Early stage of Golden Immortal!
He faced the Buddha's palm.
"Good timing."
"Let me have it."
"Smash it!"
The Buddha's palm pressed down on Chang'an, and all living beings experienced the first time the Buddha was subdued.
The golden Buddha's palm pressed down.
The people of Chang'an looked up, their faces deathly pale.
"Buddha has appeared to us!"
"Run! Run now!"
"It's too late!"
Cries and screams erupted from all sides.
The Buddha's palm is a hundred feet in diameter.
The palm hasn't reached it yet.
The pressure has arrived.
The ground cracked.
The house collapsed.
Countless people were pinned to the ground.
I couldn't get up at all.
Xuanzang was reciting scriptures in the main hall of the new religion.
Suddenly I looked up.
His expression changed drastically.
"not good!"
He rushed out of the main hall.
Look up.
The golden Buddha's palm blotted out the sky and the sun.
It came with destructive force.
"The Tathagata..."
Xuanzang's eyes were cold.
This palm strike.
They came for him.
They came because of the Protestantism.
They're targeting the people of Chang'an!
Chen Fan stood on the street.
Alone, facing the Buddha's palm.
His blood was boiling.
The aura of a Golden Immortal in its early stages erupted in full force.
"Well done!"
He stood firmly on the ground.
The magic power is activated.
A golden shield was erected.
The shield collided with the Buddha's palm.
"boom!!!"
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
Chen Fan's expression changed slightly.
The power of the Buddha's palm is too strong.
The shield began to crack.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
But they just won't refund it.
"Xuanzang!"
he shouted.
"Aren't you ready yet?!"
Xuanzang heard it.
He took a deep breath.
Close your eyes.
"The Sutra of All Beings..."
He put his hands together in prayer position.
A white light began to emanate from his body.
That is the power of will.
It is the wish and strength of the people of Chang'an.
The Buddha's palm pressed down.
The people were terrified.
But they had nowhere to escape.
All we can do is pray.
"Help us..."
"Master Xuanzang..."
"Buddha, spare my life..."
These are the aspirations.
It transformed into countless points of light.
It surged into Xuanzang's body.
Xuanzang's aura surged dramatically.
Early stage of Golden Immortal!
Mid-stage Golden Immortal!
Late-stage Golden Immortal!
It's still rising!
"not enough……"
Xuanzang gritted his teeth.
"Again!!"
More wishes are flowing in.
Behind Xuanzang.
A golden halo appeared.
The halo is getting bigger and bigger.
It's getting brighter and brighter.
Finally, it transformed into a blazing sun!
"The Sutra of All Beings: The Power of All People!"
Xuanzang opened his eyes.
Two beams of golden light shot out.
He rose into the air.
Welcoming the Buddha's palm.
"Tathagata"
You're wrong.
"You really think so?"
"Are mortals powerless?"
He clapped his hands.
May your power transform into a colossal, overwhelming hand.
It collided head-on with the Buddha's palm.

A deafening roar.
The Buddha's palm stopped abruptly.
It started to crack.
The cracks are increasing.

"Snap!!!"
The Buddha's palm shattered.
It transformed into countless golden specks of light.
It dissipated into the air.
The sunlight shone down again.
Chang'an was saved.
The people were stunned for a moment.
Then they cheered wildly.
"Master Xuanzang!"
Long live Protestantism!
"We won!"
The cheers were deafening.
Xuanzang floated in the air.
White clothes fluttering in the wind.
Like gods and Buddhas.
But he knew.
This is not over yet.
The Buddha will not let this go easily.

The sky changed color again.
A giant golden rod.
It flew in from outer space.
The giant rod is getting bigger and bigger.
getting bigger.
Finally, it transformed into a pillar supporting the sky!
"Here comes Old Sun!!"
Sun Wukong's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The giant golden club slammed into the spot where the Buddha's palm had vanished.
"boom!!!"
Another loud bang.
This time.
The remaining power of the Tathagata was completely shattered.
The giant golden club disappeared into the horizon.
Sun Wukong's voice came through.
Xuanzang.
"Well done!"
Chang'an City was in an uproar once again.
Sun Wukong!
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong!
he came!
Buddhism is finished!
Lingshan.
The Buddha sat on a lotus throne.
His face was ashen.
The Buddhas below remained silent.
No one thought of it.
The Buddha himself intervened.
It failed.
the first time.
Buddhism has publicly failed in the human realm.
Popular support.
It completely shook me.
"The Tathagata..."
Guanyin opened her mouth.
Is there anything else you want to say?
The Buddha waved his hand.
That's enough.
He stood up.
"Pass down the order."
"Buddhist disciple".
"A complete contraction."
"Suspend missionary work on earth."
The Buddhas all changed color.
This is……
admit defeat?
The Buddha did not provide an explanation.
He turned and left.
His silhouette looked somewhat forlorn.

Chen Fan looked at the sky.
A smile appeared on his lips.
It became.

It became.
The people crowded around Xuanzang.
They carried him back to the Protestant basilica.
The cheers grew louder and louder.
Chen Fan stood alone on the street.
Look up at the sky.
"Tathagata"
"Are you ready?"
Three days later.
"I, Old Sun, will smash Mount Ling to pieces!"
Sun Wukong's voice came through.
Chen Fan laughed loudly.
"good!"
"It's settled then!"
He turned around.
Heading towards the Protestant basilica.
Xuanzang needed to solidify his cultivation.
Chang'an needs to be rebuilt.
There's still a lot to do.
But it's worth it.
Just now.
A system notification sounded in Chen Fan's mind.
"Ding!"
"The mortal incense offering system has been detected."
Number of believers: 800,000
"Incense Points: Upgrade Standards Have Been Met."
"Can be upgraded to—"
"The Palace of All Beings!"
Chen Fan paused in his steps.
His eyes gleamed.
The Hall of All Beings?

He opened the system panel.

After watching it.
His eyes grew brighter and brighter.

This is definitely good stuff.
"Three days..."
He muttered to himself.
"Three days."
"That's enough."
He looked towards the direction of Lingshan.

Are you ready?
A new storm is brewing.

The sky over Chang'an.
The water was a clear, deep blue.
But everyone knows it.
This is just the calm before the storm.
