Chapter 1776 Severing the Three Corpses, Proving the Dao of Hunyuan
Moonlight walked down Mount Ling alone.

I can't say I've completely severed ties with Buddhism, but at least the burden on my shoulders has lessened by 99%.

The karma that originally belonged to the Moonlight Bodhisattva has been completely resolved. The original one was at most a Bodhisattva, and was far from being able to lead Buddhism to great prosperity.

Moonlight is now free of worries and cares. Whether Buddhism is good or bad in the future has nothing to do with her anymore. She is a Buddha from the past.

She followed her instincts, walking at a leisurely pace, as if taking a stroll, until she arrived at the foot of a mountain.

"The scenery is so beautiful, this must be Tiantai Mountain!" As if struck by a sudden inspiration, she began to climb the mountain.

The name Tiantai Mountain has a wonderful meaning: a platform for ascending to heaven. This perfectly reflects the moonlight's state of mind at this moment.

She's about to truly ascend to "heaven".

She walked alone in the mountains for eight days. On the night of the ninth day, the moon slowly rose. It was a full moon, and the bright moonlight shone on the ground. She knew that the time had come.

at the same time.

Deng Chanyu unleashed over a hundred profound spells in Taiyuan Cave on Mount Emei, their mysterious power covering the entire primordial world and the multiverse beneath it.

In the invisible world, in those spaces unknown to the world, she is like a giant whose height cannot be measured. The primordial world is merely a fallen leaf in the palm of her hand, and with a flick of her wrist, she can destroy the entire world.

Of course she wouldn't do that. The reason she had this idea was entirely due to the impact of no longer suppressing herself and the surge in magical power on her mentality.

She no longer tried to control her thoughts. Hongjun had said during his three lectures at Zixiao Palace that the Hunyuan Daluo Dao was the supreme Dao. If you don't have the spirit to be unparalleled in the world, then there's no need to try to prove Hunyuan.

Moonlight had long ago honed her magical power, primordial spirit, divine consciousness, and divine thoughts to an extremely high standard, in accordance with the "one map transforms three races" standard, with neither too much nor too little.

The Moon Wheel appeared in the sky, replacing the primordial sun star at this very moment.

This is the most suitable magic weapon for severing corpses under the moonlight. In order to achieve the merging of the three corpses later, Deng Chanyu had slightly reduced the power of this innate spiritual treasure.

A beam of light shot straight into the sky from Mount Emei, and the Moon Essence Wheel began to spin rapidly. The moonlight from Mount Tiantai also shone a golden light on the Moon Essence Wheel, and layers of black mist appeared on the surface of the wheel. This was the "evil" of the evil corpse.

The "evil" here doesn't refer to how bad it is, but rather to an inherent nature. Laziness is evil, envy is evil, and everything that corresponds to "good" is "evil".

The evil belonging to Deng Chanyu and the moonlight appeared on the Moon Essence Wheel. This was something she was born with. As the process of dismembering the corpse continued, the evil grew stronger and stronger, almost infinite.

The next instant, the Moon Essence Wheel, this innate spiritual treasure, began to automatically cleanse itself of impurities, and a continuous stream of Yin essence descended from the sky, washing the Moon Essence Wheel again and again.

When everything was ready and the moonlight had adjusted itself to a perfect state, Deng Chanyu pointed to the sky.

With a gentle swipe of the Moon Essence Wheel towards a certain spot in the sky, a stubborn shackle was severed.

A crisp "click" sounded in Deng Chanyu's ears, severing the connection between her and Moonlight—the original self and the clone—and replacing it with a more mysterious and self-centered state.

The three corpses have been severed, and it's done!

Her current Dao Fruit is still the Great Luo Dao Fruit. The gap between the Great Luo Dao Fruit and the Primordial Dao Fruit is too great, like heaven and earth. This is not something that can be achieved by mere talent or comprehension.

Severing the Three Corpses and then reuniting them is, simply put, the Great Luo Dao Fruit is broken and rebuilt, reaching a completely new level. Severing the Three Corpses is the first step, reuniting them is the second step, and attaining the Dao of Hunyuan is the third step.

These three steps are sequential; Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, and Nuwa all completed them in one go, and now Deng Chanyu has no intention of delaying.

She was very well prepared, with the right time, place, and people. After Moonlight severed her three corpses, she immediately summoned the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map and used this spiritual treasure to help her reunite her three corpses.

Five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the Journey to the West, the Taoist sect organized a smaller-scale Journey to the East, with the Eight Immortals as the main characters. They subdued demons and monsters in the East China Sea, and the Journey to the East ended with the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

The Taoist sect inherited some of the original Xuanmen's legacy, absorbed the essence of Renjiao, Chanjiao, and Jiejiao, and rose to become the great Eastern religion corresponding to Buddhism.

The Buddhist community may appear prosperous, but discerning people can see that this is a sign that prosperity is bound to decline.

In order to win over the former Western Sect disciples who had helped him rise to power, Maitreya implemented a series of policies called "the capable rise, the mediocre fall." In reality, the standards he set were all in favor of the former Western Sect disciples. What does "capable" mean? There was no unified standard for this. Ultimately, this resulted in the former Western Sect disciples receiving massive rewards of spiritual materials in terms of sect resources.

This has caused dissatisfaction among the disciples who joined the Buddhist sect after its establishment. When Moonlight Tathagata was in charge of the sect's affairs, everything was divided equally. Why is a large amount of spiritual material now being given to those arrogant former Western Sect disciples? Does being a Western Sect disciple mean you can do whatever you want?
Medicine Buddha and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva both agreed, saying that disciples of the Western Paradise can do whatever they want!

Kinnara Bodhisattva was a disciple who later joined the Buddhist order, and was also among those who were suppressed.

He began secretly gathering people, preparing to do something earth-shattering.

Tang Sanzang had little interest in meditation and often left Mount Ling to preach in the East.

Sun Wukong didn't have any serious duties; he was always traveling around, drinking and having fun with friends.

Thanks to the merits of his journey to the West, Zhu Bajie was reincarnated as a celestial being. He was born into the Heavenly Court with exceptional talent and aptitude. He returned to the Heavenly Court and started as a lowly soldier, determined to become a high-ranking official.

The Jade Rabbit returned to the Moon Palace, and she was given the title of "Maoyu" Fairy, which was recognized by both the East and the West. From an unregistered pet to a registered fairy, her suffering was not in vain.

someday.

The primordial world suddenly felt different.

The wind stopped, the rain ceased, and the spiritual energy of the primordial world surged at an exaggerated rate. Stubborn rocks were enlightened, and rotten wood was rejuvenated. The primordial world seemed to be the same primordial world, only some indescribable changes had occurred.

Billions of living beings looked up at the sky, pondering the source of this change.

The powerful figures on the primordial side looked towards Mount Emei, silently awaiting the final outcome.

Zhen Yuanzi stood at the entrance of Wuzhuang Temple, stroking his beard and remaining silent.

A gentle breeze and a bright moon stood by.

A sudden sound echoed throughout the vast wilderness.

"My name is Deng Chanyu. Today, I have used the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map to prove my Dao, achieved the Primordial Dao Fruit, and become a Heavenly Dao Saint. Now, I follow the will of Heaven and preach the Primordial Dao in the Jade Emperor Palace outside the Thirty-Three Heavens. Those who are destined are welcome to come and listen."
