Covering the sky: Traveling through the holy body, suppressing the dark turmoil

Chapter 115 Research on the Power of Faith

Over the long years, the fragments of the Immortal Realm have undergone significant changes.

The Celestial King's nurturing and the changes in this strange world have made this realm flourish.

The number of supreme beings exploded, and the great emperors who came to this realm from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths suppressed the geniuses of the Immortal Realm so much that they could not raise their heads.

Many great emperors followed the traditional path of true immortality and progressed rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xuan returned to the Heavenly Court.

The Emperor and his entourage arrived immediately.

"What happened to you on your return journey, fellow Daoist, that made you hundreds of thousands of years late?" the Emperor asked.

Li Xuan did not hide anything and told everyone what had happened over the years.

"It seems we don't have much time left," the Emperor analyzed.

His divine sense swept over the crowd, and the changes came into view.

Lingbao Tianzun and others have successfully stepped into their ninth life. Once they have accumulated enough experience, they can attempt the Celestial King Tribulation.

The rest of the group embarked on the traditional path to immortality, and their future looks promising.

“Next, I will spend a hundred years cultivating the Dao to enrich the foundation of this realm,” Li Xuan said.

The benefits of the Celestial King's sermons are self-evident.

Back when the Immortal Realm was not yet shattered, it was not something that ordinary beings could participate in if they wanted to witness an Immortal King preaching.

All living beings in the Immortal Realm responded and listened to the Immortal King's sermon.

On a lotus-shaped platform, a being shrouded in chaos sat cross-legged.

"The essence of all spiritual practices in this world is transformation."

"To achieve this arduous process, we must unearth the treasures of the physical body."

The sound of the Dao resounded throughout heaven and earth, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and illusory images of dragons and phoenixes hovered in the sky.

Many of those who listened to the sermon broke through a small level of spiritual attainment, taking another step forward on their spiritual path.

The power of the Great Dao flows and transforms into various extraordinary phenomena.

Those who attain enlightenment after coming from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to this realm reap particularly great rewards.

A century passed in the blink of an eye, and by the time everyone realized what had happened, the figure on the platform had already vanished.

Li Xuan returned to the secret place of the Heavenly Court and discussed the Dao with the Emperor and others.

The great roads intersect and collide here.

Several thousand years have passed, and the Emperor and his companions have gained much.

"The change in your strength is truly astonishing," the Emperor exclaimed.

In just a few hundred thousand years, the opponent's strength has increased once again.

"Just lucky," Li Xuan said.

After seeing off the Emperor and the others, Li Xuan separated a wisp of divine thought to draw upon the power of faith that had been preserved in the temple over the years.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Zhang Yun and others, his temples spread throughout most of the Immortal Realm.

Every day, a massive amount of faith power flows into it, and various miraculous phenomena persist.

In the blink of an eye, one can observe every aspect of the temple from the statue.

He can unleash a powerful attack through the temple if someone pays a sufficient price.

As the power of faith accumulated over the years in the temple flowed into his body, a warm feeling arose from his soul.

His own primordial spirit is more stable than before and is developing in a better direction.

Unfortunately, this change did not last long before it came to an abrupt end.

"There are too few living beings in this fragment of the immortal realm, so the benefits it brings are limited."

Li Xuan did not dwell on the issue any further.

He has three paths to the sixth secret realm, and the power of faith is just one of them.

In the years that followed, Li Xuan devoted himself to cultivation.

Beings at the Celestial King level can cultivate for countless years, even if it takes several eras.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the number of beings that have come from the human world to the heavens and earth has grown increasingly large.

On this day, amidst the vast expanse of heaven and earth, a baby boy was born, accompanied by a cry.

He was born with goodwill toward the world and never killed a single living being.

Finally, he made a solemn vow: never to kill a single living being in his lifetime.

His appearance changed the cruel Starry Sky Ancient Road.

And so, after thousands of years, this boy who never killed any living being finally became an emperor whose power shook the heavens and the earth.

He proclaimed himself the Great Emperor Amitabha Buddha.

Amitabha Buddha spent his entire life measuring the universe and leaving behind his faith.

The study of the power of faith has reached a point of contention and skepticism.

After he obtained Mount Sumeru, his strength increased by leaps and bounds.

After spending thousands of years in the human realm, Amitabha Buddha embarked on the path to immortality and traveled to the celestial realm.

In the Immortal Realm, Li Xuan opened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Mount Sumeru he left in the human world found a master, and the relationship between the two was even closer than before.

With a thought, the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, who had just arrived in the Immortal Realm, appeared before Li Xuan.

When Amitabha Buddha saw the person before him, he showed a look of surprise.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!" said Amitabha Buddha the Great respectfully.

“Since you have obtained Mount Sumeru that I left behind, you are destined to be with me,” Li Xuan said.

He inscribed his research on the power of faith on Mount Sumeru as an opportunity for those who come after him.

After many years, someone finally took over the opportunity he had left there.

"We are destined to meet. Would you be willing to join the Heavenly Court?" Li Xuan asked.

Amitabha Buddha was well aware of the terror of the person before him, and without much thought, agreed to join the Heavenly Court.

"Since you have agreed to join the Heavenly Court, I will share with you my research on the power of faith over the years."

Then, a stream of light flew into the mind of Amitabha Buddha.

Although he was not skilled in the power of faith, his research on the power of faith was unmatched by Amitabha Buddha.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed, and Amitabha Buddha has absorbed all of these things.

"With the help of Mount Sumeru, the power of faith can be preserved within it for a long time, and when combined with the Dao patterns on it, it can unleash extraordinary power."

Amitabha Buddha agreed with the Heavenly Emperor's statement, saying that he had already traveled quite a distance in this direction over the years.

Unfortunately, the rules of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were broken, making it difficult for him to advance further.

Now that you've entered the Immortal Realm, and with the help of Mount Sumeru, extraordinary changes will occur.

“There are many temples dedicated to me in the Immortal Realm. You can go there and stay for a while. It will be of great benefit to your future path,” Li Xuan suggested.

Amitabha Buddha the Great agreed to his proposal.

After seeing off the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, a glint flashed in Li Xuan's eyes.

The Amitabha Buddha Emperor, the emperor who went the furthest in terms of the power of faith, was Ye Tiandi. If it weren't for Lingbao Tianzun's Four Swords of Zhuxian, he might have met with misfortune at the hands of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor.

Even after his fall, he attempted to ascend to immortality with the power of faith accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years on Mount Sumeru.

Unfortunately, the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, who did not kill a single person during his lifetime, committed sins of killing after his death that he could never repay in his lifetime.

In the future, after the Amitabha Buddha Emperor enters the realm of immortality, the power of faith will reach a new height under his deduction.

In the future, their mutual verification of the Great Dao will benefit both of them. Amitabha Buddha Emperor spent tens of thousands of years in the temple, deepening his research on the power of faith.

In recent years, Amitabha Buddha began to spread Buddhist practices in the celestial realm, establishing Mount Sumeru as his own power in this world.

On this day, Li Xuantong was deducing the sixth secret realm as usual.

A figure covered in blood stumbled into the Heavenly Court.

Through the blood on the surface, you can see the golden fur underneath.

"This junior, the Fighting Saint Emperor, requests an audience with the Heavenly Emperor."

A tremendous sound resounded outside the Heavenly Court, attracting everyone's attention.

Li Xuan immediately noticed the situation of the Fighting Saint Emperor, lowered his beam of light, and brought the battered Fighting Saint Emperor into the Heavenly Court.

As Li Xuan's divine sense swept over the other party, he rarely showed anger.

The Battle Saint Emperor's foundation was destroyed, and his own Great Dao was almost completely destroyed.

There is also an inexplicable power within that is destroying the Fighting Saint Emperor.

If his body hadn't been strong enough, he would have perished by now.

A drop of Immortal King's essence blood was forced out and fell into the body of the Fighting Saint Emperor.

In an instant, a blood cocoon enveloped the Fighting Saint Emperor, repairing his injured body.

In the blink of an eye, the Fighting Saint Emperor recovered completely, his aura perfectly steady.

"Tell me, what happened on your end?" Li Xuan asked.

The Fighting Saint Emperor looked sad and said, "When we were traveling through the Immortal Realm, we came to a secret place, and Sun Wukong said that something there was attracting him."

"After that, the three of us found an ancient teleportation array there. By chance, we activated the array and arrived at another fragment of the immortal realm."

"After traveling through that world for tens of thousands of years, a chaotic figure shrouded in darkness blocked my way."

"The other side attacked without saying a word, intending to kill us here."

"The three of us joined forces to resist, but in the end I was seriously injured, and Di Que and Sun Wuyuan were captured by the enemy."

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised after hearing this.

With a thought, everything that had happened in the past reappeared before his eyes.

"The cause and effect of Sun Wukong," Li Xuan said.

He initially thought it was just a small matter, but now it seems he needs to step in to resolve it.

The aura enveloping the chaotic figure was tinged with the aura of a Celestial King. It was a pity that the opponent had not cultivated to the fullest extent, otherwise the Fighting Saint Emperor would be dead by now.

“Let’s go. I’ll go with you this time. There are some karmic debts that need to be settled,” Li Xuan said calmly.

And so, a chaotic passage appeared, and the two stepped into it.

In the blink of an eye, the two had already crossed all realms and arrived at the Immortal Realm Fragment mentioned by the Fighting Saint Emperor.

With a punch, the barrier shattered, and the two entered.

Li Xuan did not conceal his aura as a Celestial King, and released it freely in this realm.

There are four Celestial Kings in this realm, possessing profound power and influence.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what brings you here?" Hunyuan Immortal King came out to greet you immediately.

The opponent's aura reached that of a supreme giant, while he himself was only a giant; the gap was too great.

Li Xuan did not reply, but instead sensed the other party's aura. He found that it was not related to the aura of the Fighting Saint Emperor, and then he abandoned his intention to attack.

“Someone from your realm has offended my people,” Li Xuan stated directly, revealing the purpose of his visit.

"Please explain in detail, fellow Daoist," the Hunyuan Immortal King asked patiently.

Then, what happened at the Battle Saint Emperor's place came into view.

After seeing all this, the Primordial Immortal King was conflicted.

They clearly know something.

“Fellow Daoist, speak with confidence. If there is any cause and effect, I will bear it,” Li Xuan said.

Upon seeing this, the Primordial Immortal King no longer concealed the truth.

Given the other party's strength, he could deduce it even if the other party didn't say it.

"I can't quite remember what era that was, but I do remember that the heavens and earth were not yet broken at that time."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Sun Wukong's origins were so ancient.

Then, the Primordial Immortal King continued his narration.

“In his previous life, Sun Wukong was called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He wielded a long staff made of celestial gold, which made all the other celestial kings unable to raise their heads.”

"That means the other party is as strong as you, having reached the level of a supreme giant, and is among the most powerful beings in the Immortal Realm."

At this point, a look of nostalgia flashed across the face of the Primordial Immortal King.

After becoming an unparalleled giant, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, like all his predecessors, went to the Boundary Sea to find the secret of breaking through the King and becoming an Emperor.

But it was there that he met his lifelong enemy.

The World-Destroying Immortal King and the Heaven-Equaling Immortal King met in the Boundary Sea and an earth-shattering battle erupted.

But in the end, the Celestial King Qitian prevailed.

The two fought fiercely throughout the Boundary Sea, a scene witnessed by many creatures within the sea.

The Primordial Immortal King observed the entire process.

Until one day, the World-Destroying Immortal King summoned two Supreme Immortal Kings.

The three supreme immortal kings joined forces to target the Heavenly King, and as expected, the Heavenly King perished.

"The reason why the World-Destroying Immortal King pursued and killed the Heavenly King was because when the latter first entered the Immortal King realm, he was surrounded and killed by the World-Destroying Immortal King's forces."

"This naturally provoked the displeasure of the World-Destroying Immortal King, who only decided to take action after he stepped into the Boundary Sea."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan showed a look of surprise.

He was now curious about what the Celestial King had killed that would lead to his death and subsequent targeting.

"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. Rest assured, if there is any cause and effect, it will absolutely not affect you."

After saying this, Li Xuan led the Fighting Saint Emperor to the location of the World-Destroying Immortal King.

The golden road erupted, traversing endless void in the blink of an eye, and arrived at the location of the World-Destroying Immortal King.

Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out with one hand, carrying a vast expanse of the universe, and threw it towards the other party.

A terrifying collision erupted, activating the immortal array that remained there. After only a moment of resistance, it shattered into pieces.

boom!
A huge pit appeared, and a once prosperous immortal land was reduced to ashes.

A long spear flew through the air, tearing through the void, and rushed towards Li Xuan.

He reached out and shattered the spear, turning it into ashes.

"Fellow Daoist, don't you think this is impolite?"

Then, a figure flew out from it, covered in blood, having slaughtered too many living beings.

"You captured my people and even tried to kill them. If I don't take action, I'll look like a pushover," Li Xuan said angrily.

"Hahaha, you're really something, doing this for a piece of trash who's already dead." The World-Destroying Immortal King was full of sarcasm.

"His name is Sun Wukong, right? This time I'm going to make sure he dies without a burial place and never has any hope of returning."

"Don't you think it's beneath your dignity to attack living beings in the human realm?"

The World-Destroying Immortal King did not continue speaking. Instead, with a thought, the figure of Sun Wukong appeared before him.

He was now extremely weak, and the wounds on his body had destroyed his Dao foundation.

Li Xuan is becoming increasingly curious about what exactly the Heavenly King Qitian killed that would make the World-Destroying King unwilling to spare even his reincarnation.
