I started with Dragon Elephant Prajna, and I pushed forward with my skill points.

Chapter 156 Zhunti is about to descend upon the Four Seas Dragon Clan Autonomous Region
The Ancient Buddha of Amitabha also knew that his junior brother, Patriarch Bodhi, could not hold on.

Without hesitation, he immediately revived the power of the sage, intending to use it to break the deadlock.

How terrifying are the Heavenly Saints?
Once the power of a sage is revived, it will naturally possess the power to crush everything.

Even Xu Xian, who had already shared all of the Monkey King's power, was unwilling to directly face the power of a sage.

Therefore, seeing the finger descending with the power of a sage, Xu Xian naturally did not confront it head-on.

He chose to temporarily avoid confrontation.

Perhaps, ordinary cultivators, faced with such a terrifying attack from a saint, would be completely bound by the sheer pressure of the attack, unable to move an inch, let alone try to escape.

However, Xu Xian was no ordinary person.

Because he possessed the Zodiac Token, his mind and spirit were perfectly integrated with the zodiac token.

He can enter the Zodiac Space whenever he wants.

Even the power of a saint cannot affect this.

And so, to everyone's astonishment, the Taiyin Golden Immortal vanished into thin air.

Naturally, the terrifying saint's attack struck empty air.

"What exactly is going on?

The sage's power locked onto his opponent, but how exactly did this Yin Golden Immortal manage to escape?

This sentence truly expressed the thoughts in the hearts of all cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

"His sudden disappearance is probably impossible. Perhaps he was summoned aside by someone using a technique similar to the Golden Cicada's Shedding Its Shell."

Some people thought so.

Golden cicada escapes its shell?

Do not!
The Ancient Buddha of Guidance was absolutely certain that there was no trace of the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell, nor even any aura of supernatural powers.

Xu Xian simply vanished into thin air.

His disappearance was so sudden, and his reappearance was just as sudden. Without any disturbance, the Taiyin Golden Immortal reappeared before the Ancient Buddha of Reception.

He once again unleashed the Taiyin Extinction Divine Ball and the staff, attacking the Ancient Buddha of Guidance.

The saint who guided the ancient Buddha delivered a fatal blow.

After using his ultimate move, the Ancient Buddha of Guidance was merely an incarnation of a saint.

His combat strength is only equivalent to that of a top ten quasi-saint, perhaps a little stronger than Patriarch Bodhi, but not by much.

They could only get entangled with Xu Xian, and neither could do anything to the other.

At this point, the Ancient Buddha could only place his hopes on Kong Xuan and the Kunpeng Ancestor.

Then, his gaze fell on the two of them.

Just as the Kunpeng Ancestor made a move, the Asura woman in front of him also made a move.

Today, everyone witnessed something very strange.

Those were some unknown people who suddenly unleashed incredible fighting power.

The strangest thing is that, although they are different men and women and different races.

However, they were all very skilled in martial arts, especially with sticks.

It should be noted that the so-called sticks are not particularly well-known weapons.

Aside from the Buddhist blessed pestle and the stabilizing needle, there weren't that many types of weapons.

How could so many powerful staff masters, comparable to the top ten quasi-saints, have emerged nowadays?

Not bad!

In the eyes of the ancient Buddha and many cultivators from the Earth Immortal Realm, the Asura woman, who should have been easily crushed, was now displaying astonishing strength.

The careless Kunpeng Ancestor was caught off guard and swept away by a club suddenly thrown by the opponent.

From this day forward, the Kunpeng Ancestor has developed a problem: his lower back always aches.

It could even be said that if he hadn't actually possessed some physical strength, he might have been smashed to pieces.

"When the Kunpeng Ancestor was blocked, Kong Xuan must have also been blocked by a powerful figure."

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes turned to Kong Xuan.

Forehead!
What did they see?
That's a horse!

If we hadn't witnessed these changes today, all the cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm would say...

It was just an ordinary celestial horse, yet it dared to stand in front of Kong Xuan, which meant it thought it was too slow to die.

However, the events of today have made many cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm feel that perhaps new changes are about to occur.

What happened next completely confirmed their suspicions.

Although the Pegasus did not use any clubs, the force of his feet was incredibly powerful.

His body suddenly transformed into a beam of light and stepped towards Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light is also quite powerful.

When the five elements are mutually reinforcing, it can steal other people's magical treasures; when the five elements are mutually destructive, waves of pure destruction begin to spread.

Although this was my first time encountering Pegasus.

However, when Kong Xuan saw the celestial horse's feet stomping over, he already knew that this was a being who could rival him.

Even so, it's unclear why so many top-ten quasi-saints have appeared.

He knew that it was impossible for him to rescue Patriarch Bodhi on his own.

Not to mention, taking care of the Buddha.

The battle once again reached a stalemate.

For a moment, the faces of many Buddhas in sacred Buddhist sites such as Mount Ling, the Secret Realm of the Past Buddha, and the Sacred Realm of the Future Buddha were all unusually grim.

"If things continue like this, will Buddhism truly be able to achieve genuine prosperity when the journey to the West arrives?"

Their lack of confidence suggests that they have doubts and confusion about the future of Journey to the West.

However, now is not the time to ponder these things; the key is what to do now.

In the end, it was the eyes of the ancient Buddha Dipankara that turned to the four seas.

Everything that has happened today is because of the four seas.

It's all because of the White Dragon.

What made the White Dragon angry?
This is naturally because the Arhats Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger attempted to completely convert the dragon clans of the four seas.

In other words, the Third Prince of Jade Dragon still values ​​the Dragon Clan very much.

As long as we take action and defeat the Four Seas Dragon Clan, he will be hesitant to act rashly.

Dipankara, Maitreya, and Bhaisajyaguru Buddha discussed and decided to take down the dragon clans of the four seas first.

The Vajra Indestructible Buddha, who had just stepped out of the Buddhist realm, was given a mission, but he sensed an extremely terrifying power descending upon him.

That was also a colossal, towering staff.

It is equally powerful and boundless.

The indestructible Buddha is dead.
Just one blow.

Horrified!

It also completely extinguished all thoughts in the mind of Dipankara Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and others.

Especially lamps.

He experienced a time when his magical artifacts were taken away after being attacked, and his strength was reduced to only the level of an ordinary great supernatural being.

He vividly remembers the helplessness he felt at that time.

Therefore, he would not take risks and would not sacrifice his own interests for the rise of Buddhism.

Naturally, neither the Future Buddha nor the Medicine Buddha dared to make a move.

To be honest, seeing Buddhism suppressed, many Taoist sects and independent cultivators were actually quite happy. However, along with the happiness, there was also a slight worry.

At this moment, there are ten Quasi-Saint level beings fighting each other.

The terrifying power they unleashed without restraint not only destroyed the natives living among the stars due to the ripples from the extreme collision, but also caused widespread suffering and death.

Even in the realm of immortals, countless people died or were injured due to the ripples caused by the collision of their weapons or bodies.

Even beings at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, upon sensing the approaching collision and attempting to escape, were instantly pulverized before their bodies could even get away.

Not to mention the ordinary people.

The continuation of the battle has already had far-reaching consequences.

Ultimately, many powerful figures intervened to mediate.

Mahayana Buddhism has also given up entirely.

Despite being at a disadvantage, they refused to accept mediation and instead unleashed their power even more recklessly, causing more people to lose their lives.

In any case, Mahayana Buddhism firmly believes that no one dares to completely destroy the benevolent body of a saint.

That means the ten quasi-saints who mediated couldn't possibly kill them. So, the only way to end the battle is to deal with Little White Dragon and the others.

This is forcing others to take sides.

No one in this world can outwit the Monkey King and his companions.

Since Buddhism has brought this upon itself.

In an instant, a terrifying foot appeared in the void again and fell toward Mount Sumeru.

Even though Mount Sumeru has rested time and again, it has now become quite extraordinary.

But how could that landing foot be simple?
Even though the Western Paradise has a barrier, this power is no match for the impact of the descending foot.

once!
twice!

It seems that Mount Sumeru, the Buddha's mountain, is facing problems again.

Those top ten quasi-saint level beings in Buddhism, fearing the destruction of their strongholds, no longer insist on anything else.

armistice!

In the end, they all went home.

This time, however, the prestige of Mahayana Buddhism has suffered an unprecedented blow.

In addition, there were too many forces that had previously been hostile to their Buddhist sect.

"To be honest, I really don't see any possibility of Mahayana Buddhism rising again."

At this moment, not only the cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm, but also the Pure Land of the Three Buddhas of the Western Sect and the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli in the East, were filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

How to do it?
What to do next became everyone's thought.

Actually, things haven't gotten out of control yet.

My junior brother, the Sage Zhunti, will descend from beyond the heavens.

Can a Heavenly Saint descend directly?

These words stunned the so-called top ten quasi-saints, including the Kunpeng Ancestor, Kong Xuan, and the Buddha.

It's not because saints can't descend from heaven that we have an era without saints and an era of the ten strongest quasi-saints.

Now you're saying the Sage Zhunti can descend?

How can this be?

Even though many Buddhist practitioners in Mahayana Buddhism were eagerly anticipating the arrival of Daoist Zhunti, they still looked incredulous.

What caused the so-called "era without saints" to arrive?
It was during the time of the Investiture of the Gods that the great battle shattered the primordial world, and the Three Pure Ones of the Eastern World also consumed the Fallen Saint Pill as a result.

If they act recklessly again, Hongjun Ancestor will unleash the effects of the Fallen Saint Pill, causing the immortal and beautiful Heavenly Saint to ultimately perish.

The Three Pure Ones consumed the Elixir of the Fallen Saint, while the two Western Saints did not.

In theory, the two saints can descend at any time.

However, in order to avoid us becoming the only dominant player.

When Hongjun Laozu was in seclusion, he said that if the Western Sect went too far and bullied the Eastern Xuanmen, the Three Pure Ones could descend.

Furthermore, the higher and middle levels of the Western Religion are able to suppress the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

There's no need for either of us to descend.

And so it never came.

In fact, becoming a sage is not the end point of cultivation; Hongjun Laozu is the one who has already built a tower.

My true form and my junior brother Zhunti are also comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, striving to make themselves stronger.

The power of this being is immense.

Even in terms of magical power and cultivation alone, he subtly surpasses the Three Pure Ones, namely Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Laozi.

For a sage, even a single period of seclusion for cultivation, even if it only allows them to comprehend a small part of the Great Dao, requires a significant amount of time.

From the time the changes occurred in Journey to the West until now, it has been at most a few decades.

If it weren't for my ability to communicate with the world of the true path in my dream, even a wisp of thought wouldn't be able to communicate with the true self.

After communicating with the main deity, the main deity awakened his junior brother, Daoist Zhunti, and then invited Daoist Zhunti to descend in person.

As for why it wasn't my true self who descended personally, there are explanations to that as well.

This deity is at a crucial juncture in comprehending a great Dao.

Once you grasp the Great Dao, you can't escape its grasp!

Having grasped the Great Dao, how can one escape its grasp?

Actually, this is just one interpretation of the Buddha who guides the Buddha to enlightenment.

At this moment, the Guide was indeed somewhat unable to extricate himself.

However, it is definitely not just about comprehending the Great Dao; there are more crucial aspects involved.

It turned out that, as time went by, and as the strength of the Guide Daoist increased...

Especially when he was enhanced to the point of being comparable to Lao Tzu, he vaguely sensed a sense of crisis, which actually came from the Primordial Purple Qi that made him a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Is there a problem with Hongmeng Purple Qi?

At first, the Guide Daoist didn't want to believe such a thing either.

However, he recalled that the Sage of Taiqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and the Master of Tongtian were once locked in a life-or-death battle.

In particular, Tongtian has already started to fight with real force.

They even wanted to drag the other two Qing states down with us.

How can such hatred be easily extinguished?

However, when Hongjun Laozu came before them.

The unruly Tongtian Sect Leader and Laozi, whose magical power and cultivation were unparalleled, actually willingly took the Fallen Saint Pill without resistance.

Thinking about this, the Guide Daoist realized that the Primordial Purple Qi he had sensed was not fake.

The Guide Daoist absolutely did not want to suffer the same fate as the Three Pure Ones, who were powerless to resist and had to take the Fallen Saint Pill.

At this moment, the true form of the Guide Daoist was doing his utmost to resolve the Primordial Purple Qi.

"Since Ancestor Hongjun used the Primordial Purple Qi to control Laozi and make him submit, it means that Ancestor Hongjun's true strength is very likely not much greater than Laozi's."

My current strength is definitely no weaker than Lao Tzu's, as long as I can completely eliminate the Primordial Purple Qi.

That gives you the ability to protect yourself.

Some may wonder, since the main task of the Guide is to resolve the Primordial Purple Qi, why is he also concerned about what is happening in the Earthly Immortal Realm?

This leads to another matter.

What caused the fierce battle during the Investiture of the Gods?
Besides the change of dynasties, there was another reason: to compete for the powerful fortune of the primordial world.
