"Way of the King," Deng Chanyu calculated through her mind. She had been to the world foundation and had once seen the manifestation of the way of the king.
The Great Way is infinite in its transformations. What she saw was merely what she believed, a blend of her self-perception and the Great Way, rather than the true Great Way. Yet, she estimated that Hou Tian's approach to both the King's Way and the Tyrant's Way suggested that his self-perception was unlikely to be exceptionally high.
The child is not the disciple. She has seen the scene of Hong Zun lecturing at Zixiao Palace from Nüwa's lotus throne. Hong Zun acts like a professor, speaking only for himself and not caring how much you can understand or comprehend.
How could he expect Hong Zun to feed a child ducks and teach the child just like that?
"I have a way! Listen to me!"
Deng Chanyu and Yun Xiao conspired in whispers, and later they joined forces to draw a force from the Thunderbolt Temple at Ling Mountain.
"The Buddha's law is boundless, turning back is the shore, Amituofo!" Yuxiao outside the mouth of the Buddha number, the Tao's voice to spread throughout the East Sea, with disciples of the school who killed people and set fire to them regretful of heart at that moment, wanted to throw away their butcher's knives, from then on at the side of an ancient Buddha forever. Many celestial armies also fell into their memories of the past, and the battlefield atmosphere was instantly reduced by 70%.
The King represents power and control over everything, while Buddhism is about emptiness and letting go. While they are not entirely contradictory, they are sufficiently effective.
"Amituofo!"
"Amituofo!"
"Amitabha Buddha!" As the Qiu Shou Xian and Ling Ya Xian, whose strength is much greater than that during the Journey to the West in the original time-space, engage in a two-on-one battle, defeating the nine-headed lion and causing it to flee in panic, they, along with a considerable number of disciples from Jie School, wandering immortals, and celestial generals, join in reciting Buddhist prayers. It is an unconscious act on their part.
After reciting the Buddha's name, they glanced around, seeing the strange looks of their own side and enemy forces, they were a bit regretful, Oh no! I've exposed myself!
Hou Tian pressed his forehead, and the Hou Tian Mirror tried to dissipate the sound of the Buddha's mantra, but it had no effect. Buddhism is a spirit, a kind of enlightenment, and all sentient beings have the nature of Buddha within them, which cannot be dispersed.
Hou Tian's King's Way was impacted, and the resonant chant of the Buddha made him momentarily dizzy.
In that instant, various illusions appeared before his eyes.
He saw a gigantic golden lotus throne, where a real Buddha was seated. At the Buddha's feet were countless disciples, who would rather enter the monastery than live under the rule of the celestial court.
The Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat neither like nor hate, seemingly without any color of resentment, but because they do not hate, it shows how disastrous Hou Tian's rule is.
His head ached as if the immortals of the heavenly court were all blaming him, saying he was completely incapable and had let down the expectations of the Taoist Ancestor.
In a daze, he seemed to see the aged man wearing ordinary Daoist robes. The old man shook his head at him, expressing his great disappointment.
"Master" Just as he was about to speak, he realized it was wrong and immediately closed his mouth, but it was too late.
The Jianxian Sword struck without warning, with the resolute intent to sever the indestructible and unchanging. The black blade seemed capable of slaying thousands of manifestations.
Yuxiao moved through an endless space, seemingly with one sword, or perhaps with millions.
Hou Tian struggled to defend and retaliate, the glow of Hou Tian's sword appeared in a beam of gold, cutting down two quasi-saintly powers to their limits. However, under the suppression of the Buddha's chant reinforced with the Tao's voice, he lost the initiative. Despite his hundred percent effort, after defending against more than three thousand strikes, he finally made a mistake and showed a weakness. The Jianxian Sword quickly slashed him on the shoulder.
The wound was not deep; after cutting through multiple layers of protection and regalia, it left only a wound as long as a finger.
The wound was not deep. After cutting through numerous protections and robes, only a wound about a finger's length remained. The demon qi of the Jianxian Sword flooded into Hou Tian's Dao body through the wound. He knew the power of demon qi and did not dare to be negligent. While enduring the distraction of his own demons, he used the Hou Tian Mirror to eliminate the demon qi. Despite damaging his own Dao body, he finally expelled the demon qi and three drops of golden blood in one breath after an instant.
"Great Ancestor, I give you this," said Yuxiao's "composite" as its time was about to run out, and he quickly retreated. After she had sheathed her sword, he uttered a few formalities.
Hou Tian clutched his shoulder, his expression alternating between gloomy and sunny.
Yun Xiao quickly distanced herself from Deng Chanyu.
Someone behaves like a scoundrel, enjoying themselves and then running away.
Yun Xiao guessed that she didn't want to be involved in the conflicts between the Jie School and the heavenly court, so she didn't try to persuade her to stay.
Deng Chanyu directly moved to a billion miles away, only contacting the top-ranking big sister.
"Master, did you see clearly just now?"
Nüwa replied gently, "A Yu, wait a moment first. The main body is deducing the key to it."
Deng Chanyu nodded quickly here.
Hou Tian was wounded by the Jianxian Sword. It took only one breath for the wound to heal completely. He acted very decisively, possibly within one breath. What could one breath accomplish? Enough for Nuwa to understand his entire Dao journey in that time.
Nuwa quickly analyzed the hidden information within Hou Tian's yuan Shen (the essence of one's spirit) and soon found the gains Hou Tian had made at Yangmei's place before.
"Ah? A great gain!"
In the final moments, Yangmei had been using Deng Chanyu's spatial power to deal with Hou Tian. He was in a state of exhaustion, like an oil lamp that has run out of fuel. He had sealed many of his own secrets using spatial power, yes, it was Deng Chanyu's spatial power.
Nuwa herself does not participate in this Great Path, but having taught her disciples for so many years, she is very familiar with it. She easily pried it open with a glance, extracting information from within. It was a mass of azure gas swirling and diffusing.
"Oh, it's really good fortune that's not right! I've long planned for this! Hahahaha---" Seeing the extracted half of the chaotic pearl opportunity, Nuwa was so excited that her eyebrows flew and her face turned red.
Hongjun held the half Dao opportunity but it was useless. Yangmei held the other half of the Dao opportunity but it was also useless. But if she combined them herself, then it would be useful.
Two-way pursuit begins!
In a blurry way, she has already felt that something is approaching from a distance.
This thing has a high spirituality, and it seems that there will be some tests ahead. However, it's not a problem. Nuwa is very confident in herself.
The Chaos Pearl must be hers!
She absolutely does not admit that this is due to luck, but believes that she had anticipated it beforehand and has a good destiny.
"Aha, yes, yes," two chopping corpse incarnations, Honghuang's Lishan Lao Mu and Deng Chanyu, both agreed.
Between continuing to watch the live broadcast and going in search of the Chaos Pearl, she chose the latter. The opportunity does not come twice, and you can always watch the live broadcast whenever you want, but the Chaos Pearl is only one.
Now six saints are all outside in the Chaos Sea. If anyone picks up the Chaos Pearl by luck and gains recognition, she, the legitimate owner of the complete opportunity, could cry herself to death.
"A Yu, your teacher is going to look for the Chaos Pearl. You can play by yourself for now!" After leaving a sentence, Nuwa cut off the communication connection.
Deng Chanyu sighed in relief. The foundation of Tian Yue had just been laid, and the 28,000 days of divine energy paid by the contractor hadn't even been kept warm yet when half of it was used up. Fortunately, Nuwa's gains were huge, otherwise she would have wanted to run away.
She completed Nuwa's task, and on the Eastern Sea, the struggle between the heavenly court and the Jie School also came to an end with Hou Tian's loss in a single move.
The long-dead Duobao Sage finally emerged from seclusion and invited Zhenyunzi to join him in mediating this conflict.
