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

Chapter 718 This time, it's clear that the matter isn't over until someone dies.
Dipankara Buddha, a past Buddha in Buddhism and the former vice leader of the Chan Sect, was unaware of information about the Path of the Heavenly Emperor.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the gods present, and then they looked at the Copy Emperor with curiosity.

But He showed no intention of explaining, only giving Ran Deng a cold look before leading the Heavenly Army away.

【Ha, are all young people these days so rude?】

The lamp in the hands of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara immediately began to flicker, surrounding the people of Heaven:
[Since you're unwilling to speak, then don't. I'll search for information from your minds after I kill you all!]

The Buddhist community mobilized its entire force to rescue the Buddha's Nirvana relics.

Hundreds of millions of monks and soldiers, along with more than three thousand Buddhist deities, pressed forward upon hearing Dipankara's command, completely sealing off the surrounding void.

The Copy Emperor glanced at everyone indifferently, then suddenly reached out and pulled out a turquoise palace from his robes.

[Vice Leader, are you really going to fight us to the death here?]

Ran Deng's pupils contracted, and he glanced at the palace with considerable apprehension, asking in surprise: "[Inner Jade Void Palace?]"

He always thought that the Li Yuxu Palace was just a more secluded Taoist temple.

But I never expected that He was actually a Supreme Dao Soldier!!
A new divine eye suddenly appeared between the eyebrows of the lamp-burning monk, scanning the palace from top to bottom, growing more and more wary with each glance.

But that’s why!
He needed to figure out exactly what abilities this palace possessed!
[Amitabha! It's been over six versions since I left Jade Void Palace. Now let me see what kind of trump cards you Golden Immortals, who adapt to the times, really have up your sleeves.]

Dipankara clasped his hands together and suddenly addressed the surrounding monks:
Let us save them!

[Respect the Buddha's command!]

boom! !

The battle between the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Army broke out instantly, shattering the parallel universe and dragging the Heavenly Army along to a higher dimension.

But the problem is
A male bodhisattva, seated cross-legged on a lotus flower, with flowing robes and a beautiful beard, was left behind.

The male bodhisattva, exuding an aura of ease and freedom, was initially taken aback, then quickly chased after the Buddhist army, shouting as he did so:

【I haven't gotten on the bus yet!!!】

【Buddha!】

【I haven't even eaten yet!!】

Whoosh!
The Buddhist lamp in the hands of the Taoist Ran Deng suddenly flew backward and landed directly in His hand.

The male bodhisattva's expression changed, and he said with some seriousness, "Buddha, you don't mean for me to go after Maitreya, do you?"

The voice of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara came from the oil lamp: "The version concerning the Heavenly Emperor is far too mysterious. I will bring back information about the Path of the Heavenly Emperor as soon as possible."

Before that, you must catch up with Maitreya and bring back the Buddha's relics.

[I am merely a Bodhisattva at the fourth stage of the Dao Integration Realm; I have no ability to stop a Buddha of the Great Realm! Besides, is that really Maitreya?]

The male bodhisattva sighed softly: "He clearly has his own things to do and doesn't want to see us, so why bother him?"

You must understand, that person is the only one worthy of respect in heaven and earth; who can change His mind?

The will left by the ancient Buddha Dipankara within the lamp suddenly amplified:

[Compassionate One! At a time like this, are you still hiding from me?]

You may evade the path of the Heavenly Emperor, you may avoid facing Maitreya, but can you escape the life-and-death matters of the entire Buddhist community?

The Bodhisattva fell silent.

Dipankara Buddha said irritably, "Don't think I don't know you created the Guanyin Law System and have already forged your own path to Buddhahood. The vast realms are no obstacle for you at all!"

Although I don't know why you don't want to become a Buddha, only you can save the day now.

[Regardless of who is currently in Maitreya's body, you must persuade them to return and prioritize Buddhism.]

Speaking of which,

Ran Deng sighed with some emotion:

The fact that the Buddha's relics were so agitated indicates that the resurrection of Shanghao will not be over until many people have died!

Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, treating the people like straw dogs.

The death of a billion people is just a number, the death of ten billion people is also just a number; neither Buddhism nor Buddha can stop it.

Cihang Bodhisattva's eyes were somewhat dazed, and in the end, she could only sigh helplessly: "I understand! If things are beyond our control, I will enter the Great Realm."

But by then, I probably wouldn't be myself anymore.

I hope you won't be surprised.

The lamp burner remained silent.

at the same time!

Above the nine heavens in a parallel world.

The Heavenly Court's Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions system finally swallowed up all the parallel projections, completely merging into this parallel spacetime.

It's like putting an engine inside a car body.

Endless power of laws surged forth from the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions pantheon, frantically pouring into the parallel world!

And so the illusory world projection began to transform into reality.

All the great principles of heaven and earth seemed to be illuminated in an instant, transforming inanimate objects into living entities, constantly reshaping the world and imbuing it with mass. The gods who were pushing the world forward and reversing timelines soon found themselves unable to continue.

What time is it now?

[It seems to have been before the great battle of Liang Shanbo, when the great tide of the East Sea was just beginning to brew.]

At this point in time, the Jade Emperor had not yet descended to the mortal realm, nor had he been targeted by the "Fellow Daoist, Please Stay" killing move. Logically, he should have been able to be saved.

But the gods showed no joy on their faces; instead, they seemed uneasy.

[Damn it! Time was too short. We only have one chance now. What if we fail?]

[Alas, things have come to this, we have no choice but to take a gamble! After all, the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions of Heaven are necessary. Without sufficient law mass, even if we resurrect Shang Hao, we cannot change history!]

Parallel universes are a double-edged sword.

In a world of projections, the laws without physical form cannot bind the gods, but they are also powerless to change history!

Even if they were to save Shanghao, it would be nothing more than a castle in the air, a mirage, and would not be enough to support the true revival of Shanghao's life.

You have to give up something to gain something!

To create a miracle of resurrection, one must withstand the immense pressure of the laws of the world; this is fair.

Then let go, and let time flow again!

The gods exchanged glances, and without prior agreement, used their last bit of power to push time forward for another half a day before finally retreating.

boom! ! !
The parallel universe has finally resumed its normal rotation, unleashing its unstoppable and immense power.

And so time began to flow forward again.

Everything in the world—people, events, things, and laws—began to return to normal, but the gods no longer cared.

Their attention was now entirely focused on the fourth version update that had been illuminated by the Buddha!

[Just now, it must have been Maitreya Buddha using his divine light to dispel the hidden secrets of this version, right? What exactly is this Path of the Heavenly Emperor?]

[Only gods who participated in the Dragon Transformation Realm exam after the Heavenly Dao 4.0 era are allowed to enter. Could this be related to the Fourth Heavenly Emperor?]

[Heh, I've never heard of such a thing in Heaven. I think His Majesty Shanghao must have invented it himself.]

Do you think His Majesty might be on the Path to Heaven? Otherwise, why would Maitreya Buddha send someone to guide him in?

Although the gods were standing on the world's curtain, pushing forward time, the fact that Maitreya Buddha illuminated the content of the version was too significant for them to ignore, even if they wanted to.

Back in the Heavenly Dao 5.0 era, Buddhism almost converted five generations of Heavenly Emperors, and we had to pay to redeem them! If Buddhism gets there first again this time...

We can't wait any longer! Let's set off immediately to rescue the Jade Emperor!

As a result, the cultivators who met the requirements activated their cultivation assistance panels, opened the start button for the Path of the Heavenly Emperor, and began to team up with those around them.

The Grand Luo Immortals of Heaven were in an awkward position.

Most of them were top-tier experts during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, and at the latest, they had fully realized the Dao in the era of Heavenly Dao 2.0 or 3.0. How could they have participated in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm Examination?

This is way too obviously targeted!
Since Maitreya can enter, we should be able to enter too, since without Da Luo, no one can stop Maitreya!

I do have a suitable Heavenly Dao passageway, but the gates of the Lingxiao Palace are currently locked, making it impossible for us to access the version system.

The words have not yet been spoken!

Suddenly, three scarlet fleshy tentacles extended from inside the Lingxiao Palace, emitting a pungent, bloody stench.

Several Grand Luo Immortals suddenly turned around, their eyes shining like stars, staring intently at the Lingxiao Palace.

[Could His Majesty be hiding here? Otherwise, why would he open the interface to the laws of nature?]

[Impossible! The laws within the Lingxiao Palace are too powerful, capable of suppressing all reality and verifying all history. It's impossible for Him to revive here.]

But He still possesses the ability to control the Lingxiao Palace! It seems that Maitreya's entry into the Heavenly Emperor's Path has truly spurred Him on.

The great Luo masters exchanged glances, all with a strong premonition.

That’s right!
Shang Hao must be on the Path of the Heavenly Emperor.

Surprisingly, even these high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court were unaware of information regarding the Path to the Heavenly Emperor.

Let's go in and take a look!

Since the Supreme Emperor of Heaven has chosen to hide this update, it means He is not confident in confronting us here.

Therefore, there shouldn't be any major danger.

After a brief discussion, the Great Luo Immortals decided to leave half of their forces to guard the Lingxiao Palace.

Then the remaining half of the group walked together to the Lingxiao Palace and began to implant vulnerabilities to forcibly log into the Heavenly Emperor's Path.

Among them was Lü Yue, the Plague Emperor!

As He gazed upon the Path of the Heavenly Emperor opening before him, He couldn't help but think to himself:

[Li Wei, oh Li Wei, where are you now? If you don't come soon, the Supreme Emperor might be fully resurrected.]

[Then you and your Tianfu County will be crushed by this parallel world!]
