Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

The sky darkened.

Half crimson, half jet black.

Meteor fire mixed with Xuanming water fell, as if heaven and earth were grieving together.

In an instant, two great True Lords perished!

Even the water and fire cycles of heaven and earth collapsed, causing profound damage to this land!

Splash!

From the perspective of a True Lord, one can see that at the edge of the continent, the endless void has swallowed up the original land, causing this world to shrink by several times again.

Indistinctly.

A scream seemed to echo in my ears.

It sounded like a single voice, yet it was also layered upon layered, as if countless voices were converging.

It means that the Heavenly Dao has been severely damaged!

But the Great Sun Buddha remained completely unmoved.

Those who cultivate themselves are inherently going against the will of Heaven; the Way of Heaven is a constraint and an obstacle for them!

Today they block Fang Qing's path, tomorrow they might ask them to generously return the golden throne...

One by one, eyes opened on His body, some on His brow, some on His chest, some on His palms...

This is the "Nine Void True Eye," which is even more profound than the Three Realms Dharma Eye!

With each gaze sweeping across the heavens and the four seas, from celestial paradises to the underworld...

[Mahavairocana] suddenly felt a chill: "No…"

"He is neither in false history, nor in a blessed land..."

"That is... beyond the heavens?!"

In the blink of an eye, the golden body of the Great Sun Buddha, which filled the heavens and earth, arrived at the boundary of the world in one step.

There is still a veil separating this place, enough to make any True Lord hesitate to enter.

Even the Grandmaster Taiyi might not be able to break free from this cage.

But for the Great Sun Tathagata, tearing the veil was an easy task.

He gently raised his hand, and within his golden palm seemed to lie a Buddhist kingdom, where countless chants gathered, praising His merits, His vows, His immeasurable power, and His magnificence...

:

The Buddha's palm is pressed down, as if ten thousand Buddhas are paying homage.

Then the curtain tore open, allowing the Great Sun Buddha to appear from beyond the heavens...

The Nine Void True Eyes, penetrating the heavens, found not a trace of it.

"Could it be... that we've ventured deep into outer space?"

A resolute glint appeared on the golden body of [Mahavairocana Buddha] as he journeyed into the depths of the heavens.

True rulers are inherently selfish!

[On duty] they become even more selfish!

For [Mahavairocana], the best option is to achieve the status of [Yearly Steward], successfully strike when Fang Qing advances, and then dominate the world of Qi cultivation, planning to advance above [Yearly Steward]!

Although everyone hates Fang Qing now, everyone wants to be Fang Qing!

If it were [Mahavairocana Buddha] instead, He would only be even more excessive and meticulous than Fang Qing!

The second best option is to leave this world with your current [Yearly] cultivation level!

Although the golden position may not be able to be taken away, since taking away the golden position requires the attainment of Dao fruit!

But he is still a Celestial Lord, so he can take a gamble and find another path in the heavens to continue the lineage!

The only alternative is to obediently let Fang Qing devour me, to be his dog, and then hope that he will be resurrected and given the position of [Yearly Officer] after he advances beyond the Dao Fruit level!

The worst option is to fight back and be defeated by Fang Qing, thus plunging into eternal death.

Even though the second option might lead to this worst outcome, [Mahavairocana] still did it.

Because as cultivators, they must take their own destiny into their own hands.

Crack!

Crack!

As they moved further and further away from the heavens and earth, a sense of danger suddenly arose in the heart of [Mahavairocana].

He ignored it and went to the depths of the heavens, to the critical point of the year.

The Sun and other auspicious stars in the metal position emitted mournful cries.

Then... one after another, the golden positions were pulled back by heaven and earth, causing the Great Sun Tathagata to also let out a painful wail.

However, in Him, the position of "year" subtly trembled, and various meanings of ruling over the years emerged.

:

Subsequently, it forcibly left behind several golden core images of the Great Sun Golden Position, which were not completely recalled by heaven and earth.

The air seemed to be filled with the hooting of owls, or the screams of newborns as their umbilical cords were severed.

So far!

【Mahavairocana Buddha】has completely departed from this world!

"Leaving this world has indeed resulted in heavy losses, but at least I've preserved a trace of my [Yearly Duty] rank and Golden Core essence... With my abilities, I shouldn't fear ordinary Golden Core True Monarchs beyond the heavens..."

【Mahavairocana】was also visiting the outer heavens for the first time and was shocked by this timeless and spaceless chaos.

"Amitabha... I left the Great Sun Golden Position between heaven and earth, returning the Great Sun's path to the world... That one can still cultivate other Great Suns [Yearly Stewards]... They shouldn't still be so attached to me..."

"That world is ultimately too insignificant; this old monk must seek the Dao beyond the heavens."

The nine Dharma eyes on the body of the Great Sun Tathagata open and close, seeing only endless emptiness and darkness.

This is also the loneliness that a True Lord must endure in his quest for the Dao beyond the heavens.

Go to Must Search

It could even last for thousands or tens of thousands of years...

But compared to the current world of Fuqi Dao, which is full of pitfalls, [Mahavairocana] actually finds it somewhat sweet.

"Once this old monk leaves... that person will most likely promote the Taiyi Patriarch... surely they wouldn't resurrect that Great Sun [Yearly Steward], would they? That's a real threat to the other side..."

"Anyway... it's all no longer my concern."

【Mahavairocana Buddha】With resolute eyes, having only lived once, He is determined to seize His own destiny!

Just then, a flash of silver light appeared in front of them.

The pure air rises, the turbid air sinks, and together they form a gateway shrouded in mist and clouds.

The door swung open with a bang, and a figure stepped out.

"impossible!"

[Mahavairocana]'s eyes trembled slightly: "You...you shouldn't still be asleep..."

"Fellow Daoist, have you forgotten... this place is beyond the heavens, where time is chaotic?"

Fang Qing stretched his body, and a wisp of lunar radiance appeared, turning into a crescent moon mark on his forehead.

The surrounding area was engulfed in raging water and fire, seemingly still possessing the power of the "Yearly Official"!

In the outer heavens, his home turf, [Mahavairocana] had lost a significant amount of strength. The difference between the two sides in terms of cultivation, realm, and even strategy had reached the point of being worlds apart.

:

Therefore, the Great Sun Tathagata immediately bowed his head: "This humble monk is willing to serve you... to be your lackey!"

"In that case, you should go back."

Fang Qing grabbed the Great Sun Tathagata, and then the sky shone brightly.

In the blink of an eye, the two had returned to the world of Qi cultivation.

Above the heavens, the golden positions of the Great Sun Path sensed this and manifested directly, falling into the body of the Great Sun Tathagata.

……

"Very good...everything went smoothly."

Looking at the Great Sun Tathagata, who had returned to the realm of "Duty of the Year" but was still kneeling, Fang Qing smiled inwardly.

He created the Taiyin Transformation back then, devouring Taiyin [the Year God], and naturally slept for several more years.

The fall of Donghuangtian and even the fall of Donghuang Taiyi were all within his expectations.

The only thing that cannot be determined is the movement of [Mahavairocana] after being promoted to [Yearly Duty Officer]!

But it doesn't matter what the other person chooses; there are only a few options!

Fang Qing chose to go to the outer heavens to spend the dormant period of devouring the Taiyin [Yearly Stem]. Relying on the omnipotent power of the 'Dao Sheng Zhu', he was naturally not found and successfully passed through it.

Then, he went to the outer heavens and, relying on the power of the golden position such as [cause and effect] and [inner demons], found [Mahavairocana Buddha]!

[Mahavairocana] was originally determined to give up everything, but he caught her red-handed, and her mentality collapsed.

Therefore, the inner demon Jin Wei took advantage of the situation and caused him to kneel down so quickly.

For Fang Qing, it was impossible for the Great Sun Tathagata to capture him, so he only had two options: to stay in his original world or to escape.

Unfortunately, both options are the same to him. With the power of cause and effect, he can locate a fugitive True Lord in the heavens, and then use the "Dao-Born Pearl" to "reach everywhere"... The other party simply cannot escape!

The reason why the highest level of cultivation is so high is that it cuts off all escape routes, allowing the world to develop exactly as it desires.

In all the futures Fang Qing saw, the only option for [Mahavairocana] was to prostrate himself on the ground!

"What happened?"

He subdued the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Countless cultivators looked up, gazing at the scene of the four days reappearing, all somewhat bewildered.

Just a few years ago, water and fire fell, and countless beams of divine light were scattered across the continent, causing it to shrink by several percent again...

According to legend, the founding emperor of the Later Chu dynasty was a peerless genius who attained the position of Great Sun [the year] under the protection of the Heavenly Venerable Shi Tianzun, and then relinquished his position and departed.

:

Then why is the Great Sun [ruling the year] still in effect?

Rather than believing that someone has reaffirmed the existence of the Great Sun [in charge of the year], it's better to believe that the Great Sun [in charge of the year] never left at all!

This even immediately caused a disturbance among the great sages of the north...

Because the Later Chu dynasty no longer exists...

The True Lord is the cause of all things under heaven. Later, the two True Lords of Chu died and left, and the way of shamanism was abandoned. All the shaman gods were either reincarnated or perished...

The downfall of the Later Chu was, of course, a matter of course.

Among them were several behind-the-scenes promoters of the Great Sage of the North.

And now, they're all starting to shift the blame...

But at Fang Qing's level, the various things related to the Golden Core stage are no longer of any concern.

He simply reached out and placed his hand on the top of the Buddha's head, as if bestowing an initiation.

Within his body, the originally balanced power of the "Yearly Steward" (or "Yearly Steward"), which was originally composed of water and fire, has begun to gradually become unbalanced after absorbing the Yin "Yearly Steward"...

This is only because the moon is associated with water, and thus it can barely be controlled by the water handle...

If it were the Great Sun [who is in charge of the year] instead, it wouldn't necessarily explode immediately, but its condition would definitely plummet, and it would undergo a major change in its mental state.

Therefore, Fang Qing did not immediately devour the Great Sun [the Year God], but instead allowed Yin and Yang to regain balance...

"For a True Lord, the Golden Position encompasses everything beyond the concepts of human or demon… A True Lord can be all things, yet ultimately is not himself; this is the 'calamity of being lost'!"

"But how can the True Lord's limited knowledge compare to that of the [Yearly Duty Officer]?"

Fang Qing felt stronger than ever before, yet also weaker than ever before.

This is not even comparable to the Great Sun [Yearly] after the revival of the old world!

Perhaps only the Great Sun [the Year God] of the Primordial Era, which constantly devoured gold, fire, and yin, and almost reached the Dao Fruit in half a step, could be comparable!

"Water, fire, yin, yang..."

"This is the fastest shortcut to attaining the Dao Fruit in this world!"

With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated. Above the sky, a magnificent sun appeared, its light illuminating all directions and obscuring all shadows.

Then, a point of darkness formed from the center of the sun, rapidly engulfing the entire sun disc.

The Eclipse Incident... has begun!
