**Chapter 1007: Take Refuge in My Buddha to Gain Eternal Life**
The next day, with the chanting of a Buddha’s name, the Buddhist lecture officially began.
Over 200,000 cultivators had already gathered here, ranging from the Super God realm all the way to the God King realm.
Although the Buddhist teachings were different from those of the human race, the saying "All paths lead to the same destination" held true. One could still gain insights from listening.
The Buddha’s light shone everywhere, the golden radiance outshining even the light of the stars and illuminating the entire star system.
The starry sky was filled with Buddha’s light, shining brilliantly with golden and azure hues.
However, within the stars themselves, ordinary people could not see the Buddha’s light at all.
Lin Moyu’s pupils contracted slightly. With his clear spiritual sight, he knew that the Buddha’s light was actually an illusion, a light of the soul. What was seen was not real - only those with Buddha nature could perceive the Buddha’s light.
"What is Buddha?"
"Buddha is the one who ferries all beings across..."
"What is emptiness? Emptiness is not nothingness, but the state of being full..."
One profound statement after another emerged from the Buddha’s mouth, stirring the laws of the great world and causing ripples throughout the starry sky.
Golden lotuses seemed to bloom from his mouth, and countless rays of golden light descended from the starry sky.
Faintly, it appeared as if an invincible Buddha statue had manifested in the starry sky.
The Buddha statue was boundless, occupying the entire starry sky, even larger than the star system itself.
It was majestic, ancient, and vast...
Inspiring a desire to kneel and worship within one’s heart.
Countless people listened to the Buddha’s voice and were either in a trance-like state with half-closed eyes or had completely unfocused gazes, forgetting themselves.
Ren Qiang was one of them, despite Lin Moyu’s earlier warning to maintain his willpower and not be bewitched by the Buddha’s voice.
Knowing and doing were two different things. He simply could not resist the Buddha’s voice.
Only a few God Kings remained unaffected, their gazes still clear and undisturbed.
Lin Tang swept his gaze across the scene, revealing a hint of satisfaction on his face.
He looked at those God Kings with approving eyes.
Then, his gaze fell upon Lin Moyu, who was also unaffected, maintaining a clear gaze.
Lin Moyu noticed Lin Tang’s gaze and gave a slight nod in response, exchanging a smile with him.
Lin Tang was well aware that Lin Moyu possessed a fourth-grade soul, naturally making him immune to the effects of the Buddha’s voice.
"It seems the young friend Lin is not interested in this Buddhist lecture."
Lin Moyu suddenly received a spiritual transmission from Lin Tang.
Lin Moyu smiled faintly, "I have my own path."
Lin Tang laughed heartily, "Well said, well said. Persisting in one’s own path and not being swayed by external influences is the right mindset."
"However, sometimes listening to the words of others may also provide insights for oneself. It’s not a bad thing."
Lin Moyu suddenly asked, "Star Master, why do you allow the Buddhist clan to come and lecture to our human race? I’ve heard that each time, they take away quite a number of our people."
Lin Moyu had his own guesses, but guesses were merely guesses, not necessarily the real answer.
With Lin Tang’s status, he would undoubtedly know many things. Perhaps Lin Moyu could gain some information from him.
Lin Tang smiled faintly, "There are matters involved that you do not have the authority to understand with your current permissions."
"I know you must have many guesses, some correct and some incorrect, but you need not concern yourself with them."
"This decision was made by those above us, and you, including myself, can only follow it."
Lin Moyu said softly, "I understand, thank you for your guidance, Star Master."
Although Lin Tang did not provide Lin Moyu with an answer, he did reveal some information that aligned with Lin Moyu’s guesses.
The Buddhist clan came to the human race to lecture and preach, causing some members of the human race to take refuge in the Buddhist clan and leave the human race.
The inside story was a decision made by the higher-ups of the human race.
As for the specific reasons, Lin Moyu indeed did not have the authority to know them.
In fact, even if he knew, he would have no power to intervene.
Lin Tang was being polite to him. If it were someone else, Lin Tang would not have bothered to explain.
Lin Moyu did not ask further questions. In the future, when his permissions and strength increased, the mysteries of today would naturally be revealed.
The Buddhist lecture could last for a few days or even a month.
During this period, more people would continue to arrive, but not many would leave.
As Lin Tang said, even though one may persist in their own path, listening to others is not a bad thing.
Although Lin Moyu maintained his own path, he did not mind listening.
Moreover, his companion Ren Qiang had already fallen into a complete trance, so Lin Moyu needed to keep an eye on him.
Gradually, Lin Moyu began to sense the unique nature of the Buddhist lecture.
In the great world, any law could not be spoken or recorded on paper.
Each person needed to comprehend the laws through their own understanding.
However, the Buddha spoke eloquently, seamlessly integrating the concepts of the Buddhist clan with the laws of the great world, and expounding them in a remarkable way. This allowed the listeners to gain insights and understand the laws from his words, even though he did not explicitly teach any specific law but rather more abstract concepts.
In just two days, some people began to gain realizations.
Their auras started to change, becoming stronger and stronger.
Lin Moyu also noticed that some people were using the Buddhist lecture as an opportunity to engage in spiritual battles, tempering their willpower.
From this perspective, the Buddhist clan’s lecture did provide some benefits to the human race.
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed, and the Buddha showed no signs of stopping.
The golden light in the starry sky continued to shine, and the Buddha’s voice grew increasingly powerful.
The illusory Buddha statue also became larger and larger.
On the seventh day of the lecture, the Buddha’s tone underwent a subtle change.
The change was so subtle that almost everyone failed to notice it.
Lin Tang noticed it and was slightly puzzled but did not say anything.
At the moment the Buddha’s tone changed, Lin Moyu suddenly trembled slightly.
Outside his soul world, countless Buddha’s lights suddenly appeared, illuminating his soul world.
"Take refuge in my Buddha, and you shall gain eternal life!"
"Take refuge in my Buddha, the Venerable of Infinite Life!"
"Take refuge in my Buddha, and be free from worries and sorrows!"
The Buddha’s voices resounded throughout Lin Moyu’s soul world.
The Buddha’s lights were like giant hands, pounding on Lin Moyu’s soul world, trying to enter it, but they were blocked by the crystal barrier.
Lin Moyu’s soul opened its eyes. "This is... trying to make me take refuge?"
At this moment, his soul was completely isolated from his body, temporarily losing control over it.
He knew that this was the doing of the Buddha.
However, he did not know if it was targeting him alone or everyone present.
Lin Moyu’s eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Want me to take refuge? Dream on!"
His soul world erupted with a thunderous boom, and the nine-colored dragon soul crystal let out a resounding dragon’s roar, shattering the Buddha’s lights.
At the same time, the star spells of immortality shot out dazzling rays of light, clashing with the countless Buddha’s lights.
The Tree of Innate Talents swayed endlessly, with countless branches whipping out from the crystal barrier, lashing at the Buddha’s lights like innumerable whips, instantly tearing them apart.
Immediately after, a great sun rose from outside Lin Moyu’s soul world.
The Buddha sat beneath the great sun.
"Benefactor, your killing intent is too heavy. Put down the butcher’s knife, and you shall become a Buddha on the spot!"
"Take refuge in my Buddha, and you shall go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, free from disasters and illnesses, and gain eternal life!"
The Buddha’s gaze was like lightning, directed at Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu responded with a cold smile. "My killing intent is heavy, but what business is it of yours?"
"Get lost!"
