My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 543 Buddhist Schemes, the Powerful Warriors of Mount Ling Emerge
Faced with Ge Hong's anger,
Even someone as thick-skinned as Taiyi Zhenren couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed:
[True Emperor, you know me!]

[Being lazy and cowardly, of course he'd add a tiny bit of backup plan for himself.]

In fact, not only Taiyi Zhenren, but the entire Yuxu Palace operates in this way. After all, the so-called "immortality" originated from Yuxu Palace in the first place.
Ge Hong gripped Li Wei tightly, took a deep breath to suppress the fluctuations in his Dao heart, and snorted irritably, saying, "Since you're still alive, then help me!"

Even if we can't completely reclaim the Dragon Slave Kingdom's territory this time, we must break the dragon race's spine and shatter their knees!

We must ensure they cannot cause trouble for a thousand years!

The script for the Three Pure Ones was never a simple rescue of the Plague Emperor; it was aimed at the First Emperor and, consequently, at the Dragon Clan!
Everything has now been written down.

All they had to do next was continue moving forward according to the script.

So after Ge Hong and Taiyi Zhenren joined forces, they immediately led their troops in hot pursuit, fighting from night until dawn, killing more than a hundred dragon gods along the way, and driving the dragon race back to the sea from the land once again.

But the Heavenly Court remained relentless, determined to exterminate the dragon race completely.

Having finally been rescued, Ao Xuan looked at the Heavenly Gods surrounding him and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

'Is the dragon race's hundreds of thousands of years of history about to be destroyed in my hands today?'

Or,
Ao Chen took out a jade talisman from his robes, his expression gradually turning ferocious, and suddenly shouted:

[Heavenly Court!! You forced me to do this!]

Snap!
The jade talisman was crushed to pieces!
Then a dazzling golden light spread from the west, pouring directly into the Dragon Slave Kingdom and shining upon the dragons.

[Guiding the Buddha's light?!]

Ge Hong immediately opened his mouth and spewed out a sea of ​​blazing fire from his dantian, trying to cut off this wisp of golden Buddhist light.

But then countless lotus flowers bloomed in the void, and an ancient Buddha with a flickering blue lamp burning in front of him suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​flowers.

A chorus of Buddhist chants drifted down.

The ancient Buddha held the lamp in his hand and flicked it slightly.

Thus, the sea of ​​fire that Ge Hong spat out was completely swallowed up by the remaining lamp, leaving not a trace of heat or warmth.

【Amitabha! After all these years, the Great Crimson Emperor's flames are still as explosive as ever!】

Ge Hong's eyes immediately turned to one of alarm, and he immediately began to organize his soldiers and reorganize the battle line, shielding countless mortals in front of him before finally feeling a sense of security.

Ran Deng smiled slightly, not stopping him, but turning to Taiyi Zhenren and saying, "Junior Brother, long time no see! You've gotten quite plump!"

Taiyi Zhenren's eyes twitched slightly, and he clenched his fist, saying, "Master Randeng, you are not at Mount Ling to light the lamp and illuminate the Buddha's life. Does the Buddha not...?"

Dipankara clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to the west: "The Buddha's teachings are boundless! The Buddha has his own destiny and no longer needs me to protect his true form. But you, junior brother, why do you still call me Master?"

I was merely teaching on behalf of my master, so strictly speaking, we should address each other as equals. Why be so formal, junior brother?

Looking at that kind and benevolent face, Taiyi felt as if he had swallowed a fly. He clasped his hands in a fist and asked, "Brother Randeng, what brings you here this time?"

A bodhisattva, clad in a kasaya and with a dragon's head and a human body, slowly descended from mid-air: "Of course, it's to guide my people into Buddhism to overcome this tribulation."

Taiyi Zhenren's expression grew even colder: [Fifth Master Long? Very well, I knew the Dragon Clan arranged for you to cultivate in Buddhism back then; they were just leaving themselves a way out! So, you Buddhist sect are going to stand up for the Dragon Clan?]

"Amitabha!" Dipankara Buddha nodded calmly. "We are brothers, surely you wouldn't refuse to share even this small thing with your senior brother?"

When you become popular, you really do smile.

Taiyi Zhenren's face flushed red as he laughed angrily, "You've abducted half of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and you've seized a third of the Jade Void Palace's fortune! Isn't what your Western Sect has taken enough?!"

"Otherwise what? Stay there and become food for our master and uncles?" Randeng sighed softly, looking at Taiyi Zhenren with some pity.
"My only regret in life is that I couldn't take you all with me when I left! But don't be afraid, junior brother, I will soon free you and the other brothers."

The Jade Void Palace is destined to be buried by me, the Vice Leader!

Even if it means saving this world and rebuilding the universe, I would spare no effort!
And the dragon race was a crucial part of His plan, so at this moment, Randeng couldn't help but lower his head and look at Ao Chen again, saying:
【Dragon King of the East Sea, do you still remember what we talked about back then?】

Ao Chen looked at his hands with a bitter smile, took a deep breath, and then suddenly knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, and said:
[I agree to the conditions you previously proposed! From this day forward, my entire dragon clan will retreat to Mount Ling and voluntarily become guardian deities of Buddhism!]

[We also urge the ancient Buddha to keep his promise and allow my dragon race to have its own path of Buddhism, and not to interfere with the fate and karma of our race.]

As soon as the words fell,
The world underwent a tremendous change.

Countless energies descended from Mount Ling, instantly resounding with soaring chants, and condensing into an enormous Buddha image in the void.

Following closely behind, one after another, strange and extraordinary forms from ancient times appeared around the Buddha, forming a constellation of stars surrounding the moon, radiating immense power!
Ge Hong and Taiyi Zhenren's pupils involuntarily contracted.

[The Devas, Yakshas, ​​Gandharvas, Asuras, Garudas, Kinnaras, Mahoragas—these are all immortal races bound to destiny, aren't they?]

In ancient times, many gods and races realized the immortal nature of destiny, so they chose to try to bind themselves to the Way of Destiny, just like the dragons, in order to ensure that their bloodline could be passed down and continued immortally!

The most famous of these are the races mentioned above.

The heavenly beings are ordained by the will of Heaven. The yakshas and asuras sacrifice their lives for destiny.

Gandharva's Incense Offering
In short, every race has its own specialty, and they have always been experts in using the power of destiny before the path of fate and destiny was opened.

However, as time went by, these races were gradually eliminated and disappeared in the great calamity of heaven and earth. Logically speaking, they should have been extinct long ago.

When did this damned Buddhist sect find such a remnant of an ancient race?
Moreover, judging from this, these remnant descendants have already ascended to the throne as gods and have reawakened their former clan bloodline!
Why is Buddhism bringing them together?
Poof!
Following closely behind the seven Dharma forms of Devas, Asuras, Yakshas, ​​etc., the eighth Dharma form, namely the Dharma form of the Dragon Clan's destiny, suddenly appeared behind the Buddha's phantom, forming an Eight-Part Protector Buddha Diagram full of profound charm.

After absorbing the fortunes of eight different races, the Buddha's eyelids opened slightly, revealing a glimmer of spiritual light that instantly illuminated the entire world.

Cheers erupted from the direction of Lingshan.

"Hahaha!! It's done!"

"Our Mahayana Buddhism has finally incorporated the principles of the Jie Sect's salvation of beings from other realms, further expanding the concept of universal salvation!"

"From this day forward, all living beings may lay down their butcher's knives and instantly become Buddhas!"

"Our Buddhist teachings have taken a giant leap forward!!"

Even the Three Pure Ones, who were hiding in the shadows, couldn't sit still anymore.

With a solemn expression, Laozi descended from the sky, riding a green ox to the center of the field. Without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed Ao Shen, intending to take the dragon clan leader away.

The lamp remained motionless.

But a chubby, adorable little novice monk, dressed in a purple-gold robe and sporting a large belly, appeared before Laozi and grasped his hand.

[Grandmaster Uncle! Our Buddhist sect has spent two whole versions of time planning this project; we can't let you interrupt it so easily.]

Laozi's left shoulder jerked violently, and then a young boy's head popped out, looking at the little fellow with a face full of surprise:
Wow, you've actually managed to cultivate yourself to this level!

In retrospect,

Starting your own business back then seems like a pretty good choice!

The young novice monk froze on the spot, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. He let out a heart-wrenching roar of rage: "You old bastard! You're courting death!!!"

boom! ! !
The young novice monk crashed headfirst into Laozi, sending him directly into a higher dimension, where they engaged in a fierce battle.

Dipankara Buddha closed his eyes in anguish, letting out a heavy sigh: "Gentlemen of Heaven, withdraw! Even Buddhas have anger; if this continues, I fear I too will lose control of my temper."

Ok? !

The lamp suddenly raised its head.

Then a terrifying tentacle that blotted out the sky suddenly stretched out from the higher-dimensional world, wrapped around His body, and dragged Him directly into the higher-dimensional battlefield.

Ge Hong and Taiyi Zhenren exchanged a glance and simultaneously rushed towards Ao Shen, intending to kill him.

However, four auspicious clouds spread across the sky, and the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism—Wenzhu, Puxian, Cihang, and Dizang—all arrived, followed by one hundred and eight Arhats.

Seeing this, Ge Hong finally couldn't hold back any longer: [The Buddhist sect's powerful figures have all come out today. Aren't they afraid that my Heavenly Court will take this opportunity to attack Mount Ling and destroy your law system base station?]

Since the Buddha's passing, the Bodhisattva Wenzhu's position has been corrupted, and his personality has become explosive. At this moment, he asked without hesitation: "Does your Heavenly Court still have sufficient troops?"

Ge Hong fell silent.

Yes!

Although the Heavenly Court has recently recruited a new batch of gods, these guys are still undergoing induction training. Sending them to attack Mount Ling directly would be like throwing good money after bad.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court's army in the Western Desert could only deter, not attack!
The Buddhist sect dared to send out its entire force to rescue the Dragon Clan precisely because it saw that the Heavenly Court's military strength was stretched thin.

Ge Hong felt a wave of helplessness wash over him: [Am I going to have to free the dragons again today?]

Boom!
Another tentacle stretched out from the sky, suddenly grabbing the four great bodhisattvas and the one hundred and eight arhats, and dragging them all into a higher dimension.

The smiles that had just appeared on the lips of Ao Shen and the other dragon gods instantly froze on their faces.

They looked up in disbelief and saw a terrifyingly large body that had replaced the entire atmosphere of the celestial sphere and was now hovering above the world.

Its size and grandeur

It couldn't even contain the higher-dimensional world; it actually broke through the higher-dimensional spacetime and shrouded the entire real world, forming a dark shadow that spanned five continents and four seas.

"Hey hey hey!! This is way too much!!"

Li Wei, who had fainted, quietly opened one eye and couldn't help but look at the blood and flesh floating in the sky like a continent with a somewhat morbid excitement. He inexplicably began to think about a serious question.

This monster,

Is it tasty?!
