Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 222 Transforming Dao Power (Two Chapters Combined)

"I see... I misunderstood something."

On the solitary peak, smooth as a mirror and reflecting starlight, Li Ming sat alone, silently refining this scroll of the Human Daoist Dharma.

However, what is imprinted on this corner of the garment is not only the Taoist teachings of the Human Sect, but also many Buddhist secrets left behind by the leader of the Human Sect.

For example, the attainment of Buddhahood in Buddhism is unique, a product of the combination of the power of faith and the power of the rules mastered by the Buddha.

At its peak, Buddhism possessed nine first-rank Bodhisattvas and eighteen second-rank Arhats.

A total of twenty-seven fruit positions!

It can be described as exceptionally powerful.

It can be described as the most powerful force below the Super Grade!

Now, ever since that supreme Buddha was sealed away by the Confucian sage who rose like a comet.

Many forces, fearing the power of Buddhism, even secretly killed many Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

To this day, only four Bodhisattvas and two Arhats remain in Buddhism.

One of the Arhats was the one who was crushed to death by dawn some time ago, or perhaps he could be called the Arhat Who Does Not Regenerate.

Even though many Bodhisattvas and Arhats have perished, no one has ever been able to refine their attainments and reach the level they once achieved.

The reason is actually quite simple: even if a high-ranking person outside of Buddhism obtains a position, it is of little use.

After all, someone who can defeat the holder of a fruition and obtain the relic with fruition status must be at least a second-rank or higher being.

They already have their own path to follow.

It is absolutely impossible for them to switch to Buddhism.

Moreover...most importantly, these various attainments are the result of the Buddha's rule power combined with the power of faith and vows.

That is an extremely malevolent and supreme being throughout history.

Although the Daoist Master once drove out many descendants of gods and demons when the human race was weak, leaving the most fertile and vast Nine Provinces to the human race to multiply and thrive.

But only one clone survived, and after re-establishing the Buddhist and Taoist system, he became the Buddha, no longer the innocent young boy he once was.

Rather, it is a combination of faiths aimed at achieving immortality, reaching a higher level, and replacing the Heavenly Dao!
This powerful and indescribable terrifying existence is something that even within Buddhism, some people do not wish for to break the seal of the Confucian sage.

Not to mention the fear that others had of Him.

Of course, everyone is different, and there will always be those who are blind to the truth and try to explore the mysteries of Buddhism.

Without exception, they were either converted into Dharma protectors of Buddhism or disappeared silently from the sight of others, leaving no trace.

From then on, no one dared to covet a Buddhist position.

This... is what the leader of the Human Sect wanted to warn Li Ming about.

After all, even if Dawn didn't want to join the Human Sect.

Given the extent to which Leon Lai has offended Buddhism, the two are already on the same side, and he does not want Leon Lai to die young.

At the same time, if the Buddhist sect were willing to expend its resources, it could use its connection to this fruition to determine the location of dawn.

"Unfortunately... that can't stop me."

As dawn broke and his eyes lowered slightly, his five fingers snapped together in mid-air, and the quiet, deep night sky suddenly lit up.

A gentle, warm glow illuminated the surrounding area for miles.

Whether they were mindless wild beasts or demonic creatures that had developed some intelligence, they all knelt down involuntarily under this pale white light.

It actually spoke human language, emitting chanting sounds that resembled reciting scriptures.

At the end of the dazzling light, there is a crystal that seems to be the purest glass in the world, floating and sinking in the palm of dawn.

Li Ming gazed at the relic, his eyes burning as brightly as the sun.
"Transform the power of Tao!"

……

At the edge of the Western Desert, in the center of a grand temple in a Buddhist kingdom, the Bodhisattva Garuda, with a solemn and dignified appearance, sits cross-legged in the center of a mysterious magic array.

Beside him, three of the four Bodhisattvas currently existing in Buddhism have gathered.

Among them was the Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva, whose speed was considered the fastest in the world.

This Bodhisattva was someone who barely escaped a calamity from Shenshu's clutches back then.

What kind of being is Shenshu?
Regardless of his half-step into the realm of a supreme martial god, even with his Asura King bloodline and the remnant soul of Buddha, he surpassed most first-grade martial gods in the world.

Even the mighty Buddha could only dismember it and suppress it in various parts of the world, but could not completely obliterate it.

But even such a being could not preserve the crystal Bodhisattva before us.

This demonstrates the incredible speed of this crystal Bodhisattva statue.

This also demonstrates the Buddhist community's unwavering determination to capture Dawn!
hum!
As the magic array operated, immeasurable pale golden power of faith surged forth from all directions like a tidal wave.

Immediately, the void trembled violently, and this boundless power of faith transformed into a golden stream of light, piercing through the sky and pointing towards the southeast.

The Bodhisattva of the Gara Tree stood tall in the center of the magic circle, bathed in a blazing light, his eyes intense, and solemnly addressed the Bodhisattva of Lapis Lazuli.

"I owe you this, you must keep him here."

"As long as the direction is accurate, he will have nowhere to escape."

The Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva, dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, had a serene expression.

His voice still echoed in the void, but his figure was gradually erased and disappeared, like paint on a canvas.

The thoughts of Bodhisattva Galusu traveled hundreds of miles, yet he could no longer sense the slightest trace of Bodhisattva Lapis Lazuli's presence. He felt a pang of regret.
"His speed... is indeed faster again! But this time... let's see where you can escape to?"

boom!
Immediately, it too rose from the ground and sped off in the direction indicated by the light.

Yes, He will also take action.

Since the decision has been made, then it must be made swiftly and decisively to completely subdue Dawn.

To avoid complications and unforeseen problems.

After all, the person they were trying to capture was someone with the strength of a third-rank martial artist who could easily defeat and kill a second-rank Arhat.

Buddhism has never hesitated to use as many people as possible to deal with such monstrous beings.

And...most importantly, he himself was extremely interested in the secrets surrounding Dawn.

What kind of opportunity could have given this person strength comparable to that of a third-rank martial artist?
He was very curious and extremely eager to possess it.

After all, he still harbored some resentment about how his golden body had been shattered by a casual punch from Shen Shu hundreds of years ago.

Both being of the first rank, why should He be relegated to a supporting role, a stepping stone for the gods to display their power?

He was utterly loyal to the Buddha, but that doesn't mean he was without any selfish motives.

Although His speed was not as fast as that of the Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva, it was still extremely fast, but His thoughts were churning.

He has already traveled thousands of miles along that trajectory that stretches across the sky like a divine bridge!
boom!
In the next instant, the golden divine bridge, formed from countless streams of faith, shattered into countless streams of light without warning.

He stood there in the void, somewhat dazed, as countless gusts of wind swept towards him.

After a long while, the exceptionally handsome Bodhisattva of the Crystal stood beside Him, dressed in a moon-white divine robe, his tone tinged with a sigh.
"The guidance... has failed. It must be that fruit position, which was obscured by that person using some unknown means!"

Besides, there is another possibility: that this fruit was crushed into powder!
However, the possibility of this is almost zero.

Even neither of them ever considered the possibility of moving closer to this idea.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the fruition of a Buddha's status is formed from the great vows made by the Arhats who have made vows of compassion. In reality, the essence of the fruition is that the supreme Buddha extracted the laws of heaven and earth that he had cultivated, and then fused them with the path of the one who made the vow, thus forging them into a masterpiece!

Its essence remains part of the Buddha's path.

The Buddha... is an unsurpassed, supreme being!

No matter how brilliant and terrifying that Confucian sage was thousands of years ago, it still took a heavy price to seal him away.

Its principles and laws are so profound that they are unimaginable; there is absolutely nothing in this world that can erase them!
Even the powerful Confucian sage of yesteryear could not erase it.

"Fine, since this plan won't work, let's find another way!"

The Bodhisattva Garuda felt a little resentful, but his face remained expressionless.

Buddhism has been operating in this world for countless years, and its reach naturally extends to every corner of the world.

Whether it's the capital of the Great Feng Dynasty, the overseas islands, the land of ten thousand demons, or the barbarian and witch tribes, Buddhism has spies almost everywhere.

People leave traces as they pass by, geese leave their calls as they fly by.

As long as a person has existed, witnessed, and experienced in this world, he will inevitably leave his mark.

This kind of search is more like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The time and resources required will far exceed those of this time...

……

Transform the power of Tao!

This is a function that Dawn possessed after first repairing the Diagram of All Heavens and Myriad Paths.

It can transform the many things that Dawn possesses into the most basic Dao power.

At the same time, the Myriad Paths Diagram possesses the template for this item.

From then on, one can burn the power of the Dao and continuously manifest it.

This is similar to, yet not entirely the same as, the manifestation of dropped items.

After all, each dropped item can only be manifested once.

However, these transformed items can be transformed an unlimited number of times, as long as the Dao power is sufficient.

Wow!

In the instant that dawn's thoughts shifted, the scroll of Daoist diagrams that floated above his mind, resembling a sun lying horizontally in broad daylight, suddenly stirred up a tremendous wave.

Thick streams of chaotic energy, like a mighty river, roared in and, in that instant, crossed the boundary between illusion and reality, descending upon this world.

In Li Ming's palm, the glass relic that radiated immense light seemed to sense something amiss and began to tremble violently.

Rumble!
In an instant, heaven and earth trembled. Although there were no clouds or rain gathering, it was as if terrifying thunder was exploding in the depths of the void.

A fierce wind, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, swept in and billowed at dawn's robes.

Li Ming's expression changed slightly.

In that instant, he sensed a faint aura descending from the far west, locking onto him.

"Is this your method?"

As dawn broke, the Heavenly Dao Diagram emitted a terrifying roar.

Rumble!
A vast surge of chaotic energy, so immense that even with Dawn's current strength, he still couldn't fathom the rules governing its operation, erupted from the depths of his mind.

"Bodhi..."

In the dim light, dawn seemed to hear a faint chanting, and then all the strange phenomena vanished instantly.

And the relic that had been floating in Li Ming's palm finally disappeared.

[Transformed into a second-grade Arhat relic x1, transformed into a second-grade Unborn Fruit position x1, lost Dao power...]

As dawn broke, he stared at the long string of numbers, his eyes trembling slightly.

This... is almost more than ten times the power gained from killing an Arhat who has not yet been born.

He has almost achieved all that he has gained in the world of dragons and snakes.

This is the benefit of the higher world.

Although the risks are extremely high, the corresponding rewards are equally enormous.

Feeling the faint aura that had locked onto him finally dissipate completely into nothingness, Dawn's thoughts raced.
"However, we probably can't stay here any longer."

……

……

Meanwhile, on the desolate plains of the far north of Kyushu, a robust and well-proportioned young man, clad in black armor, sat astride a magnificent warhorse.

The young man stood alone on horseback, his hand on his sword.

Directly in front of him, a tall flag fluttered in the wind, swaying like a blazing flame.

Beneath the banner's enormous shadow, a barbarian knight force of several hundred men moved in tandem with the banner.

Despite numbering in the hundreds, each clad in heavy armor and varying in height and build, they marched in perfect unison as if they were one person, without making the slightest noise.

Rumble!
Amidst the violent tremors, this elite force of several hundred wolf riders had already turned their wolf heads around, tightly surrounding Wei Yuan in the center.

One of the burly barbarians stepped forward, his tone tinged with admiration, and said...

"Wei Yuan... your death is near."

"If you have someone to blame, blame your arrival. It has repeatedly thwarted my master's plans and damaged the interests of your superiors!"

In their view, Wei Yuan was a pitiful yet respectable opponent.

Mingming's arrival led to several significant victories for the Dafeng Border Army.

However, because of its selfless attitude, the kitchen was able to protect the interests of the officer stationed there.

Therefore, it was ultimately used as a pawn in this instance.

It was the garrison commander who was clearly supporting bandits and intercepting military funds, but it was Wei Yuan who ended up being besieged and killed by them.

Even the barbarian warriors, who were also his adversaries, couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for him in this predicament.

Indeed, in this world... good people never pay with their lives.

"Ah……"

Young Wei Yuan sneered, his face grim, his hand slowly tightening its grip on the hilt of his sword.
"As expected... In this world, the so-called high-ranking official positions and generous salaries, the so-called favor of important figures, are ultimately no match for the three-foot-long blade in my hand."

The experiences he had gained over the years had finally made him more truly appreciate the value of what Li Ming had said when he guided him.

After a brief silence, the leading knight looked up at the sky and then said coldly,

"Your time has come, prepare to die!"

Woohoo!

A desolate and somber horn sounded, and the several hundred wolf riders, without exchanging a word, roared almost simultaneously:
"kill!"

In an instant, all other noises ceased, and a dense aura of malevolence surged into the sky.

Wei Yuan stood tall and proud, mounted his horse, and drew his sword!

Zheng!
