Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 261 The Eyeless Demon Buddha of the Pangu Abyss
The small sword inserted into the soul of the "Eyeless" was naturally the "Jing Sword," which Jing Qian had painstakingly forged.

He had already been lying in ambush here!

When faced with the soul invasion of [Lingshan Tathagata], he unleashed all his magical power without hesitation, slashing out fiercely!
Two divine soul powers at the Transcendent level suddenly collided, stirring up violent waves within the Eyeless One's sea of ​​consciousness.

……

The three [Yanfuzi] had already made a prediction: to truly destroy a [Transcendent Buddha], it would be necessary to completely erase all of the opponent's anchors in the present world.

Otherwise, the Tathagata of Mount Ling, who had condensed the status of "transcendence" by relying on the power of "time sequence," would forever remain a shadow that is dead but not stiff, looming over the head of "Eyeless."

He could be resurrected from the past at any moment.

And if we want to draw out his anchor in the present world, this past self in front of us is the necessary trigger.

Only if the Buddha of Mount Ling truly glimpses the opportunity of reincarnation will he reveal all the hidden anchors without any scruples.

However, for the three of them, who were without eyes, bringing a past Buddha to the present world was undoubtedly a huge risk!
Even though the past incarnation of [Lingshan Tathagata] was unstable and its strength greatly reduced due to the disturbance of time.

However, as long as the other party obtains the anchor of the present world, stabilizes their own state, and is completely resurrected.

His combat power will then return to its peak, and he will be far beyond the ability of the three [Yan Fuzi] to suppress.

If things really come to that, the three of them's scheme against [Lingshan Tathagata] would truly become a righteous act to help him be resurrected.

The first anchor point of the Tathagata of Lingshan is the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus Platform that he left in the mortal world.

The Buddha's past incarnations can be reborn immediately simply by sitting on the lotus throne again.

The three [Yanfuzi] had anticipated this, and [Gui Mao] used all his strength to successfully suppress the lotus platform with [Yanfu Nursery].

This [Yanfu Nursery] is also a direct descendant of the [Dao Ancestor], and after years of refinement by [Ghost Hair], it serves as the foundation for his Dao attainment, and its power is in no way inferior to the [Twelve-Petaled Golden Life Lotus Platform].

He only needs to use the power of the [Nursery] to completely suppress this lotus platform, which would be equivalent to severing one of the arms of [Lingshan Tathagata] and erasing its most important anchor in the mortal world.

The second anchor point for [Lingshan Tathagata] is [Eyeless] himself!

All the spiritual energy he accumulated through his nine lifetimes as [Ling Shan Zi] was originally a human model created by [Tathagata].

If he hadn't awakened his own will and broken free from Mount Ling in his tenth incarnation, the karma of those ten reincarnations would have made him an easy tool for the reincarnation of the Buddha of Mount Ling.

At this moment, Jing Qian exerted all his strength and struck [Rulai] with his sword, successfully wounding him.

As a fellow Daoist offering assistance, he has done everything he could, to the utmost.

The rest of the work can only be done by [Blind] himself!

The struggle between [Wuyan] and [Lingshan] is like a narrow encounter, where two tigers cannot share one mountain.

Whoever ultimately wins will devour everything the other has!
【Lingshan】was originally the 【Transcendent Buddha】, but now he is merely a projection of his past incarnation. However, he is hindered by 【Ghost Hair】 and lack of money, and his strength has been damaged.

But he had absolute confidence in his victory!
[No Eyes] Originally, there was only a 30% chance of winning; it was purely a gamble with their lives.

But Jing Qian obtained a [Transcendence] Divine Eye for him, which enhanced his abilities on the spot, increasing his chances of winning by more than 50%.

In his heart, this [Spirit Mountain] was already his opportunity to attain enlightenment!
A life-or-death struggle has begun.

Will the devil win? Or will Buddha prevail?
……

The other two on the battlefield, having successfully completed their respective tasks, left without hesitation and fled.

Even if [the blind man] says he will definitely win, who knows if he's just bragging.

If he really did pass away and was resurrected by the [Lingshan Tathagata], wouldn't that mean [Ghost Hair] and No Money would be treated like treasures?
A wise person avoids dangerous situations, and it is only natural for the two to reasonably avoid risks.

Once that [Ghost Hair] has locked up the [Yanfu Nursery], even if [Lingshan Tathagata] were to truly be resurrected, it would be difficult to capture him.

For him, if he could successfully plant the lotus platform in the nursery and grow a few more varieties, and integrate the two transcendent spiritual powers, his cultivation would naturally advance greatly.

Jing Qian, dragging the golden body of [Lingshan Tathagata], also vanished into the [Void Realm].

His [Pangu Dao Evil Sword] remained embedded in the Buddha's heart, relentlessly devouring his flesh and blood.

He dared not waste a single moment!
Once the [Lingshan Tathagata] and [Wuyan] have determined their victor, the Buddha body in front of them, which comes from the past, will either disintegrate and dissipate, or it will instantly become a true Buddha and beat him to a pulp.

If it weren't for the fact that the Buddha of Mount Ling was about to be reincarnated, how could Jing Qian have so easily obtained such a powerful and rare remnant of the Buddha?

He naturally had to do his best to buy enough time to digest the conflict between Buddha and demon before it ended.

This remnant is not only an extremely suitable material for the advancement of the Pangu Dao Sin Sword, but also the best sample for Jing Qian to truly experience the level of transcendence!
He began to experience firsthand what kind of strength a transcendent being should possess.

The path he is about to take is different from that of almost all other cultivators in the Great Abyss!

The methods passed down from his predecessors could not be perfectly implemented in his practice.

He needs to rely entirely on his own efforts to explore a new path.

The extremely fresh Buddha carcass in front of him gave him considerable anticipation.

While absorbing the power of the Buddha's body, he shone the Eye of Age Rings onto the Buddha's body.

This "transcendent eye" is like a high-precision microscope, revealing the essence of the Buddha in its entirety.

Jing Qian was shocked to discover that within the body of this [Buddha], two extremely distinct forces were intertwined!
One is an incomparably pure Buddhist Dharma essence, containing all the accumulations of the Buddha of Mount Ling before his transcendence!
His [destiny], [dharma form], [spiritual inspiration], [celestial energy], and even [time sequence] are all perfectly integrated and inseparable.

Jing Qian was no stranger to this power; it was the power that only the strongest [Time Sequence] cultivators in his mind could possess.

Within the Buddha statue, another force was perfectly intertwined with this Buddhist and Taoist aura.

Just like a double helix structure of DNA!

Jing Qian was no stranger to this force!

It turns out that the power system is entirely based on the [Dao Nie].

However, this [Daoist calamity] within the body of [Lingshan Tathagata] actually transformed into a container that could hold power.

There is an extremely pure [Totem] level power contained within this [Dao Nie] container.

This power clearly originates from the Great Abyss!
At this point, Jingqian's understanding of the practice of "transcendence" had taken a crucial step forward.

It takes the cultivation results of [time sequence] as its essence and the power of [totem] as its appearance.

They then become entangled and merged, forming a stable structure in which each contains the other.

In this way, one can achieve the cultivation results of the "Transcendence" level!
In order to withstand the erosion of the power of the [Totem], the [Time Sequence] achievement, as the other extreme, naturally also requires a high level of skill.

The stronger the accumulated power of [Time Sequence], the more stable the connection between the past and the future, and naturally, the more [Totem] power it can draw upon.

The difference in strength between the Five Lords lies entirely in the amount of power of the totems they have gathered.

Top cultivators within the Great Abyss often prefer to use the power of the Great Abyss to advance to the Transcendent realm.

But Jingqian could also understand that accommodating different [totem] powers would inevitably cause [transcendent] cultivators to exhibit completely different forms of power.

However, if we compare the Transcendence in the Great Abyss with the cultivators in the Kingdom of the Lord and the Ruins of Imagination, their cultivation paths are similar, but their forms of expression are completely different!

Both rely on the power of [totems] to advance to [transcendence].

In the Kingdom of the Lord, we must bear the Lord's grace, merge with the Lord's power, dedicate everything we have, and share in the Lord's glory.

As the foundation upon which the glory of the Lord is borne, transcending the divine requires a sufficiently powerful divine kingdom and a large, steadfast populace of believers.

This is a method of advancement that uses the power of faith to carry the power of the [totem].

As for the method of "intention," it is even more unique!

At the beginning of cultivation, abandoning one's material foundation and merging with the power of the spirit and the [intention] can easily advance to the [transcendence] level.

In this situation, it is difficult to distinguish whether the cultivator possesses the [Transcendence] rank or has obtained the authority to manipulate the [Transcendence] level [Intent].

In reality, this state of "transcendence" is not perfect.

Next, one needs to refine one's own power within the body of [Intention], intertwine and unite with the power of [Intention], and then take form from within the body of [Intention] to regain a material foundation.

The practice of 【意】 is completely opposite to the practice of 【大渊】.

It is a process of cultivation that goes from the surface to the core.

By a stroke of luck, Jingqian mastered the three paths to enlightenment: [Master], [Intention], and [Great Abyss].

With each other's verification, his understanding of cultivation is rapidly increasing.

More importantly, because of the power of the Dao Nie within the body of the Buddha of Mount Ling, his Pangu Dao Nie Sword was able to obtain the power of the Great Abyss contained within it by absorbing the Buddha's flesh and blood!
Will it not take off now?
The power of the Great Abyss within the body of [Lingshan Tathagata] far exceeds the number of hundreds of [Elements of Intent] or [Divine Lords] when compared horizontally.

The great sword, already possessing profound heritage and containing the bloodline of Pangu, was refined by the immense power of the Great Abyss, and within a very short time, it advanced to the Transcendent level.

Furthermore, after completely devouring the body of [Lingshan Tathagata], it obtained all the [Daoist Abyss] and [Great Abyss] power within it, taking another half step forward from the [Transcendence] level:
【Divine Machine - Pangu Great Abyss Sword (Prototype)】!
Thus, Jing Qian's third [Sword Dao Spiritual Ability] has completed a crucial advancement.

It even leaped up, surpassing [Jingjian] and [Eye of the Year Rings], temporarily ranking first on the Heavenly Ladder!

Currently, the Pangu Great Abyss Sword in Jing Qian's hands is of the same rank as the Pure Yang Sword and the Xuanyuan Sword. It only needs more Great Abyss power to be refined before it can become a Divine Weapon.

With the divine sword in hand, he felt boundless expansion, believing that the Heavenly Dao was before him and that he could also split the heavens with a single sword!
He immediately opened his eyes and looked at the Immortal Qi Mountain, which was silent in the Ruins of the Mind.

An intense fighting spirit surged forth from within him!

Promotion [Timeline] is today!
His divine soul transformed into the Dao, wielding the [Jing Sword] in his left hand and the [Pangu Great Abyss Sword] in his right, with the [Eye of the Year Ring] between his brows, as he charged towards the [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

With the three [Transcendence] treasures in hand, his strength increased tenfold, and he regained his confidence in confronting [Pure Yang].

Boundless sword light burst forth from his sea of ​​consciousness, resolutely rushing towards the [Clock of Time].

Then, time and space reversed, the illusion reappeared, and the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor once again appeared before him with a smile.

[Chunyang] was pleased to see Jing Qian's strength improve. For him, it would be best if Jing Qian could come to him for sparring every day, which would be quite enjoyable.

More importantly, Jing Qian's strength means that Chunyang has a successor, and Chunyang, which is trapped in a cage, may also have a chance to be reborn from the past.

Of course, even if he harbored a sliver of longing in his heart, he would not show the slightest mercy when facing Jing Qian.

For sword cultivators, training that is done with leniency is of no value.

[Chunyang] once again unleashed his fundamental sword energy with all his might.

Originating from the boundless accumulation of the [Pure Yang Sword Box], it is capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

But this time, Jing Qian, who came prepared, actually brought out a force that was equal to his own!

He gathered the three [Transcendent] powers into one, wielding the [Pangu Great Abyss Sword], and withstood the [Pure Yang] sword energy!
"open!"

Jing Qian's roar, like a thunderclap at the dawn of creation, resounded across the boundless battlefield of the illusion!
The Pangu Abyss Sword in his hand is no longer simply a sword of flesh and blood.

Instead, it transformed into an extremely powerful sword light that carried the immense power of the Great Abyss, was entwined with the chaotic aura of the Dao, and further condensed the sharpness of the Jing Sword and the insight of the Eye of the Year Rings!

Faced with the torrent of fundamental sword energy from the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor, which seemed capable of recreating the universe and annihilating all paths, Jing Qian no longer dodged or resorted to trickery!

He gripped the Pangu Abyss Sword tightly with both hands, pouring all his strength and will into it without reservation.

"Break it for me!"

Two torrents representing different extremes of swordsmanship collided with a deafening roar.

No sound could describe the horror of that moment.

This is the annihilation of laws, the collision of concepts, and the ultimate outpouring of pure destructive energy.

At the core of the sword light, Jing Qian's figure appeared and disappeared. His muscles were bulging, his bones groaned under the strain, and blood mist overflowed from his seven orifices, but his eyes burned with unprecedented madness and fighting spirit.

He's incredibly awesome!
With all his might, he actually managed to block the most powerful sword strike from the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor.

Faced with this result, the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor was also very pleased.

Faced with such an outstanding junior, he could only unleash a second sword beam to send him on his way.

For a mere child like [Mending Heaven] to witness the second sword strike of [Pure Yang] is arguably a significant recognition from [Dao Ancestor].

The second element of [Pure Yang] originates from the [Totem] power within him, which is two sides of the same coin.

It originates from the boundless power of the Great Abyss that he has accumulated over many years.

fast!
Indescribably fast!

This sword light even surpassed the limits that Jing Qian's [Eye of the Age Rings] could capture.

It ignored the heavy, abyss-like sword light defense of the [Pangu Great Abyss Sword], as if it were just a non-existent phantom.

It ignored the [Sumeru] spatial barrier that automatically protected Jing Qian's body, as if it were passing through the air.

It ignored the analysis and interference from the divine eye that erupted between Jing Qian's eyebrows.

It brushed past Jingqian's neck so calmly, elegantly, with a natural indifference.

An extremely fine and even line of blood foreshadows Jingqian's second death in this life.

He came quickly and left even faster, waving his sleeves without taking away a single cloud.

The illusion vanished immediately, and the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor, having completed his mission, disappeared once more.

Meanwhile, Jing Qian, who failed to advance and was resurrected, is emerging from the body of [Chong Shen].

The [Origin Bone] surged wildly within his dantian, gathering vital energy to replenish Jing Qian's depleted magical power.

After this battle, his inflated ego calmed down once again.

Compared to the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor, I am still just a nobody.

The second sword strike, wielding the power of the [Totem], unleashed a power ceiling far exceeding that of the fundamental sword energy gathered in the [Sword Box].

Jing Qian could find absolutely no way to successfully resist.

However, the fact that he was able to withstand the first sword strike before dying from the second was already a huge improvement.

Let's try to improve even more next time and force out the third sword strike of the Dao Ancestor!
Having experienced a great battle with the Patriarch Chunyang, Jingqian felt that his Dao heart had been tempered, and his enthusiasm for cultivation had become even stronger.

Just as he was preparing to immerse himself in cultivation once again...
A cold, indifferent divine thought, imbued with the dual pressure of Buddha and demon, was projected from the mortal world toward the [Sumeru] dimension.

This divine thought was clearly transmitted to Jing Qian and the Ghost Hair hidden in the [Yanfu Nursery]:
"The Tathagata's divine soul has entered my eyes. Now that this matter is settled, it's time to divide the spoils!"

Jing Qian was delighted to hear this, as it was time for his favorite part!

He then vanished from the spot in a flash.

……

Long before Jing Qian forged the Pangu Great Abyss Sword, the battle between Wuyan and Lingshan Tathagata had already been decided.

Don't underestimate [Eyeless] just because he's only a [Time Sequence] cultivator. He has accumulated knowledge over ten lifetimes, and his profound foundation is in no way inferior to [Ghost Hair].

Moreover, and more importantly, he simultaneously cultivates the inherited methods of [Yanfu] and [Lingshan], just as he did without money to cultivate [Yanfu] and [Chunyang], both of which have extremely wondrous synergy of magical powers.

[Blind] follows the path of [Feast of Flesh], and if cultivated to its extreme, one can attain the status of [Great Asura Lord].

He already possesses the Eye of Transcendence, and it is fitting that he has achieved the status of Demon Lord through his eye.

The Lingshan Dharma is unique; upon reaching its highest level, one can attain the status of Tathagata and Vajra.

One focuses on magical power, the other on the physical body; these two paths of the Buddha originate from the same source, yet each has its own emphasis.

For [Eyeless], all the methods he practiced relied on his physical strength.

He dared to bring the divine soul of [Lingshan Tathagata] into his own body because he had absolute confidence in his own body!
The cage he prepared for [Lingshan Tathagata] was certainly not the clumsy array of eyes gathered in front of him.

Rather, it is his sea of ​​consciousness, his dantian, and his bones and blood.

The body of the "eyeless" has long since transformed into an ultimate battlefield forged from the resentment of ten lifetimes, the power of Buddha and demon, and the pure will of flesh and blood!

When the Buddha of Mount Ling descended into his sea of ​​consciousness, the entire sea of ​​consciousness suddenly collapsed and compressed inward, and molten flesh and blood inexplicably erupted.

Refine! Fude! Devour!
The Tathagata's soul was violently twisted, deformed, and dissolved under the envelopment and strangulation of the molten flesh and blood.

The dark golden essence of the soul, like Buddha gold smelted by high temperature, was peeled off from the soul and greedily absorbed by the writhing flesh and blood vessels, flowing into the core of the sea of ​​consciousness.

That was the location of the [Eyeless] soul, the location of that enormous eyeball.

There, a brand new "eye" is taking shape.

[No Eyes] Eyes will grow back from the person who was once blind!
Moreover, the new eyeball he forged from the [Lingshan Tathagata] must be a top-tier treasure of the highest quality and perfect harmony with him.

【Divine Machine - Demon Buddha's Eye Splash (Prototype)】!
Thus, [Eyeless] finally escaped the fate of being a human stump on [Lingshan] for 100,000 years.

His patriarch, who had been the master of his teachings, could no longer control his destiny. Instead, he transformed into the eye between his eyebrows, helping him attain enlightenment.

He also successfully crushed the transcendent state of the Buddha from the soul of the Buddha of Mount Ling.

Besides the original source of magic power, after being incorporated into the [Demon Buddha's Eye], a total of sixty-seven [Old Time Sequences] were quietly born.

This led to the division of spoils orchestrated by "Blind".

【Blindness】Growing up in the new era, it represents a new type of productive force within the 【Daoyuan Divine Shuttle Universe】under extreme involution.

He had meticulously planned the breakthrough strategy for ten lifetimes, and with almost no setbacks, he had managed to kill a [Transcendent] being.

At this moment, his heart was filled with joy, and he felt that the future path lay entirely beneath his feet.

Before long, Ghost Hair and Moneyless appeared in front of Eyeless.

He owed his two fellow disciples a great debt of karma, and could only exchange it for the [Time Sequence] he possessed.

Then [Eyeless] spoke:
"Master, we have no money. The amount of [Time Sequence] squeezed out of this Buddha statue is more than we expected."

"Each of you will receive fifteen [Time Sequence] powers."

"I must thank you both for helping me attain enlightenment!"

But then Jing Qian spoke up:
"Master, what are you saying!"

"I didn't even feel any force before the battle was over."

"It's already beyond our expectations that there are so many benefits to be gained."

"Please come to me next time there's something like this; I'm always available."

Being blind and being broke are mutually reinforcing!
Whenever the two of them get involved, no matter how much trouble the process is, the result is always a huge profit.

Ghost Hair, standing to the side, also spoke up:
"Golden belt for murder and arson!"

"I only meddled a little, yet I've achieved such results. It's truly unexpected, just as No Money said."

"If we truly wish to advance to the [Transcendence] stage, we should seek out an opponent like [Lingshan Tathagata]."

"The result of one battle is equivalent to more than ten battles with my peers in the [Time Sequence] category!"

"The efficiency is on another level."

Although that's what Guimao said, he actually knew that the reason this battle went so smoothly was entirely due to Wuyan's thorough preparation and accurate planning.

The process of [Lingshan Tathagata] from its appearance to its exit was incredibly smooth, without any sense of struggle.

[No Eyes] then distributed the [Time Sequence] he had collected to his two fellow disciples.

Jing Qian opened his eyebrow with the [Eye of Annual Rings], encompassing all fifteen [Time Sequences] within his divine eye.

Unfortunately, he still hasn't advanced to the [Time Sequence] rank!
In other words, although he had already obtained the first [time sequence].

However, he has not yet been able to further refine the [Time Sequence] and advance to the [Sun God] or [Seasonal Term] levels.

He must withstand the three sword strikes of the Pure Yang Sect in order to continue his advancement!

This undoubtedly brought him a greater challenge, which boosted his fighting spirit.

After dividing the spoils, [Blind] spoke again:
“I learned a secret from the soul of the Tathagata of Mount Ling, which I can tell you both.”

"During each of the Great Abyss's tidal waves, the Five Transcendent Lords who remain in the present world will attract a swarm of Great Abyss power."

"Those who cannot withstand it will be washed away and perish by the power of the Great Abyss, becoming trapped deep within it and unable to escape."

"Many of the Other Shore Ships regard this Tide's Roar as a catastrophe that will destroy the world and a calamity for the Dao Ancestor."

"However, I learned from [Lingshan] that, in essence, the existence of this [Tide Sound] is to assist the cultivation of [Transcending the Five Lords]."

"However, the power of the Great Abyss is too fierce. Even the Sun God and the Seasons may not be able to withstand such torment."

"And all the Dao Ancestors who were swept away and perished by the [Tide's Roar] had a trace of their true spirit hidden at the bottom of the [Great Abyss] by a great cultivator."

"His physical body and magical power settled in the waters of the Great Abyss River, evolving into the Dao Sin."

"And this [Daoist calamity] has become the basis for the cultivation of later generations, together forming a closed loop in the cultivation system of this world."

"This message is of great importance, and I wanted to share it with you both."

Looking at the expressions of "Ghost Hair" and "No Money," the difference is quite significant.

The guy with the "ghost hair" had an expression that said, "I knew it all along," and "I understand now."

Jing Qian's reaction was as if he had heard a secret, and his eyes were opened.

Even though he had already guessed, the fact that he actually learned the reason behind the birth of the [Dao Nie] still made him feel a chill.

The system of 【Da Yuan】 is rigorous and cruel, with an invincible internal competition.

Even if one transcends the Five Lords, if one cannot withstand the cleansing of the Tide, one is not worthy of longevity and can only be exploited as material for others' cultivation.

Having clearly conveyed this secret, [the blind one] then spoke again:
“Fellow Daoists, I have already decided to walk the path of the [Old Days].

"I'm preparing to take a trip to the [Seven Treasure Tree Universe]."

“That Buddhist holy site originated from the Buddha of Mount Ling, and I have some karmic connection with it.”

"Moreover, since there is a [Time Tomb] inside, there must be many [Old Days] hidden within it."

"I only hope that these [old days] can support me in achieving [the seasons]."

"You two fellow cultivators still need to work harder and not fall behind!"

The words of "no eyes" convey a distinctly different sense of disdain.

An extremely powerful sense of confidence arose spontaneously as he broke through the tribulation and advanced!
