The Supreme Being of the World, Starting from the Heaven-shattering Fuxi

Chapter 394 Powerful figures from Mount Shu gather; someone arrives at the most desperate situation.

For the powerful cultivators in this world, they don't even need to approach the Golden Immortal realm. Many cultivators, upon reaching the Earth Immortal realm, can sense the changes in the heavens and have a clear understanding of what will happen on Earth, as if they could read the lines on their palms.

These events include both man-made disasters and natural disasters.

Of course, if other powerful cultivators were to obscure the secrets of heaven, that would be a different matter altogether. Whoever had a deeper understanding of cause and effect and destiny would gain the upper hand.

This kind of thing can only happen in situations involving human error.

Natural disasters are different. The cultivators of each sect know where earthquakes and tsunamis might occur and have taken precautions long ago.

However, this time, the sudden tsunami at sea truly shocked all the cultivators, completely taking them by surprise.

They couldn't even tell whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made one.

However, they could see that this terrifying underwater earthquake and the resulting tsunami were powerful enough to overturn the entire landmass and cause a cataclysmic change to the Earth.

In an instant, cultivators from all walks of life flew towards the location of the East China Sea tsunami, and almost every expert in the world was caught up in the process.

The closest ones are Tianyi Jinmu of Ziyun Palace, Jiayin Shenggu of Huanbo Pond, and Master Lianshan who is currently cultivating enlightenment on Yue'er Island.

Further away are the three senior immortals: the Great Sword Immortal, Daoist Hesha, and the Iron Drum Immortal, as well as the Red Staff True Man, Luo Gongyuan, and so on.

Then, all six of the Universe's oddities arrived.

They are the Blood God Elder, the Demon Lord of the Stone God Palace of Iron City Mountain in the Demonic Sect; the Corpse Elder of the Divine Sword Peak of Fire Cloud Ridge in Yunnan; the Bitter Bamboo Elder of Wuzhong Ridge in the Great Wilderness Mountain of the East and the Lu Sisters of Nanxingyuan; the Cangxu Elder, the Grand Ancestor of Taixu Yiyuan in Qinghan Valley of the Great Ghost Mountain; and Xin Ruyu, the female immortal of Poison Dragon Reef on Juluo Island in the North Sea, who has not yet entered the Buddhist sect.

However, when the female immortal Xin Ruyu arrived, she was accompanied by several fellow Daoists: Ren Shou, the Long-Browed True Man; Li Jingxu, the Blissful Child; Chen Ziqin, the Nine Heavens Demoness; and Luo Tianxian.

Besides these, there are also many Buddhist monks and Arhats, and celestial beings and great masters from major Taoist sects.

Their gazes were all fixed on the island.

A peerless cultivator with incomparably powerful aura stood on the island, single-handedly suppressing the crustal changes deep in the seabed to prevent a major upheaval in the world.

"Brother-in-law..."

Luo Tianxian knew, of course, that the island where the incident occurred was the very place where she and Feng Xi were cultivating.

The cultivator who was suppressing the changes in the earth's crust with his own body was her brother-in-law.

"Is this the brother-in-law you mentioned, fellow Daoist?"

Standing next to Luo Tianxian, several fellow Daoists who had discussed Dao with her over the years all showed expressions of surprise.

They had heard of the names of Fengshenjun and Luotianxian from Bodhidharma as early as the chaotic period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Luo Tianxian and the others finally saw it for themselves; they were not celestial beings at all, but rather possessed the qualities of a Golden Immortal.

Even the Long-Browed Immortal felt inferior, knowing that Luo Tianxian would definitely ascend to the Upper Realm sooner than him.

However, they had never seen the Wind God.

According to Luo Tianxian, Feng Shenjun, like Master Lianshan, the senior uncle of Changmei, is dedicated to paving the way for unorthodox sects and is unwilling to follow the orthodox Buddhist and Taoist cultivation methods.

"Perhaps, this great change in the world is a calamity caused by the Wind God Lord's attempt to open the Great Way for unorthodox sects."

The Long-Browed Immortal had an epiphany and immediately pointed out the key point.

As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivators around him understood and sighed inwardly.

In reality, neither Buddhist nor Taoist practitioners had any intention of preventing unorthodox practitioners from opening up the Great Path.

They fought against demons and protected the righteous path only because many heretical cultivators were still greedy, angry, and deluded, and their disciples committed numerous evils, which led to this calamity.

They felt nothing but admiration for cultivators like "Wind God Lord" who silently cultivated and diligently studied the Great Dao.

“It is truly not easy for unorthodox sects to pave the way. Judging from the current situation of this Wind God, it seems that he only had a thought, and before he could achieve the Great Dao, he was struck by calamity.”

A white-browed, dignified monk addressed the many cultivators from both the Buddhist and Taoist schools, saying, “If you wish to live long and transcend the mundane world, why suffer such torment? Why not enter the Buddhist path and attain enlightenment? A throne awaits you in the Pure Land.”

Upon hearing the words of the White-Browed Monk, many unorthodox cultivators sneered and remained silent.

They naturally knew that by entering the Buddhist path of cultivation, one could attain the Bodhisattva fruit, and if given the right opportunity, one could even achieve Nirvana and become a Buddha.

However, he knew in his heart how much of Bai Mei's words truly reflected his concern for his fellow practitioners.

The merit of converting a heretic into Buddhism is immeasurable. If someone is truly converted and enters the path of Buddhism, achieving the Bodhisattva stage or the wondrous state of Nirvana, this monk would likely ascend to the Pure Land immediately.

"Very well, fellow Daoists, let's see what fate has in store. The path to the Great Dao will be difficult in the future, but the door of convenience for our Buddhist sect will remain open."

The so-called destiny is something everyone understands in their hearts: one or two thousand years from now, the calamity of the end of Dharma will come, and those who cannot ascend to immortality will die in the mortal world.

Even if one is reincarnated and begins cultivation again in the future, there may still be no chance to seek the Great Dao once more.

At this moment, Feng Xi, who was suppressing the ley lines, volcanoes, and tsunamis on that island with his own power, suddenly spoke: "I wish to open a great path for unorthodox sects. If there are like-minded people who are not afraid of the hardships of this place, they can explore this path with me."

Feng Xi never expected that his mere thought of creating a refuge for unorthodox cultivators would immediately bring about a calamity, with a great disaster nearly wiping out the entire landmass.

He has a clear understanding that enlightenment requires overcoming obstacles, not to mention that he is about to forge a new path, which brings about a cataclysmic calamity. This calamity arose because of him, and it is up to him to avert it.

Otherwise, in this world where cause and effect and destiny are strictly ordered, it would be impossible to complete one's own merits.

Therefore, Feng Xi single-handedly suppressed the island and prevented this calamity.

Once he leaves this place and the suppression is gone, the calamity will still come in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that if I want to truly transcend and find a place for non-Buddhist paths to return to, I must completely eliminate this calamity."

On Earth, even cultivators at the Golden Immortal level can only unleash limited supernatural powers.

Feng Xi felt that it was difficult for one person to completely eliminate all the calamities, so he wanted to invite other cultivators who were interested in attaining enlightenment through unorthodox methods to experience and eliminate the calamities together with him.

Practicing and seeking enlightenment in this place is bound to be full of suffering; only those with great determination and perseverance would ever embark on this path with an uncertain outcome.

But this world, this era, is not lacking in this type of cultivator.

Master Lianshan, the senior uncle of the Long-Browed Immortal, was the first to step onto the island and exclaimed in admiration, "Brother Dao, you have such a grand vision. I am willing to follow in your footsteps."

"Uncle Master..."

The Long-Browed Immortal called softly from behind, but didn't know where to begin.

He had always understood that his third uncle was different from his master, Chusanzi Yu Daoren, and his eldest uncle, Dayuan Zhenren.

Like the eminent Buddhist monk Jue Zun, Master Lianshan made a great vow to transform various heterodox sects into righteous ones, even at the cost of entering unorthodox sects and personally venturing into dangerous situations.

He had reached the end of his own path and could see no hope of success. Now that he saw a like-minded friend, he wanted to help him regardless of whether he could succeed or not.

"I left some treasures on Moon Island, which should be divided into two parts. One part will be left to Emei, and the other part will be left to cultivators who are willing to take unorthodox paths to attain enlightenment but whose hearts are firm in their beliefs."

After giving Master Lianshan a few instructions, he resolutely set off for that dangerous island.

“With such spirit as the Divine Lord and the Master, Gain is not to be outdone.”

The second one to fly towards that dangerous island was none other than the Holy Maiden of Huanbochi, whose dojo was also located in the East China Sea.

This female cultivator, hailed by philanthropic cultivators as having the most beautiful appearance, actually harbored thoughts of attaining enlightenment through unorthodox methods. Many people turned their gaze toward the Venerable One of Buddhism.

"Fellow Daoist Jiayin, I lost the bet back then, so why are you doing this?"

The Venerable One was a renowned monk during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. He was once as famous as the Holy Maiden Jiayin. At that time, the two young and ambitious monks made a bet to see who could attain enlightenment through unorthodox methods.

Now that it was the early Tang Dynasty, Venerable Jue had abandoned his plan to attain enlightenment through unorthodox means and was preparing to honestly ascend to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

He saw that Saintess Gain was preparing to take that "dead end" and couldn't help but try to dissuade her.

Saintess Gain replied calmly, "Although you lost, I did not win either. Now let's try again. If it still fails, it is my destiny."

“Fellow Daoist Long Eyebrows, my old friend, will be joining the Emei Sect in the future. Illusionary Wave Pool is entrusted to Emei, but there is still one thing on my mind.”

Master Longbrows frowned: "Is it your newly accepted disciple?"

He had met Cui Ying, the beautiful corpse maiden who was a true disciple of Gain. She was born with a lustful nature and was extremely lewd. He was afraid that he could not enlighten her.

"She has no chance in this life. When my friend takes over the Illusionary Wave Pool in the future, I hope he will reincarnate her and bring her into the sect."

Master Longbrow nodded and said, "If that's the case, I can grant your request, fellow Daoist."

The Emei disciple who will take over the Illusionary Wave Pool in the future can be said to be the successor of the Long-Browed True Man. With his Purple Ying Sword in hand, he can naturally make this decision for that female disciple.

Moreover, that disciple was born with a knack for killing, and only she could suppress Cui Ying's alluring nature.

Upon hearing the promise from the Long-Browed Immortal, Gain had no more hesitation and stepped onto the small island, which was considered a dangerous place by the cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Ruyu, what do you think?"

"What do you think, fellow Taoist Ziqin?"

Beside the Long-Browed Immortal, the Blissful Immortal, and the Luo Tianxian, the female immortal Xin Ruyu and the Nine Heavens Demoness Chen Ziqin exchanged a glance, their eyes bright and resolute, as if they had also made up their minds.

Are you two also going to take this path?

Changmei Zhenren, Jile Zhenren, and Luo Tianxian remained silent, but their other friends, the three Shen sisters from the Immortal Cave of Xiaodongming Mountain, looked at them with concern.

“Fellow Daoist Ruyu and I have no living teachers or disciples, and even our relatives and friends have all died long ago. Aren’t we the most suitable people to take the path of death?”

The Nine Heavens Demoness Chen Ziqin laughed heartily, took out a gourd, drank a sip of fine wine, and then, hand in hand with the serene Xin Ruyu beside her, headed towards the small island.

"You're all so troublesome. If you fail to attain the Dao, you'll just die anyway. What's there to entrust with anything?"

A figure had already arrived on the island before the Nine Heavens Demoness Chen Ziqin and the Fairy Xin Ruyu.
