Primordial Era: The Ten Deadly Formations are Broken, Shen Gongbao Asks Me to Come Out of the Mounta

Could it be that this Supreme Lord also wants a share of the spoils and is secretly plotting against Buddhism?

Or was he certain that Zhao Gongming would intervene and disrupt his Buddhist arrangements?

Upon realizing this, Zhunti was startled at first, but quickly shook his head instinctively.

impossible!

You must understand that the flourishing of Buddhism is a natural trend.

The will of Heaven is like a knife; in the face of overwhelming forces, even a sage of the Heavenly Dao is no more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Minor trends can be altered, but the major trends remain unchanged.

This is no joke.

Despite Zhao Gongming's numerous schemes and even his formations that rivaled those of saints during the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, he ultimately could not reverse the defeat of the Jie Sect.

The vast majority of the righteous gods on the Investiture of the Gods list were filled in by disciples of the Jie Sect.

All Zhao Gongming could do was change the timing of the Great Calamity and the status of his disciples as righteous gods.

Thinking of this, Zhunti immediately asked, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

Could it be that you intend to sabotage my Buddhist temple's arrangements?

Or does Fellow Daoist already know that Zhao Gongming intends to sabotage the flourishing of Buddhism?

Zhunti was getting a little impatient.

This time, his Buddhist scheme is not just about prosperity; it is a scheme hidden within the ultimate number.

Nine is the ultimate number, which also coincides with the perfect number of the Heavenly Way.

According to their plan, when the great calamity begins, they will use secret techniques to secretly integrate the Buddhist fortune into the calamity.

In this way, the fortune of Buddhism is used as leverage to buy time for Buddhism to exist.

Once Buddhism successfully weathers the eighty-one tribulations, it will have firmly established itself and will have achieved a period of great prosperity. Even if it declines afterward, Buddhism will not perish.

Instead, it will exist for countless eons.

Of course, such a plan can only guarantee the existence of Buddhism for a certain period of time. As for how prosperous Buddhism will become, that depends on the plans that follow.

However, the Supreme Lord inquired about the consequences of not being able to complete the tribulation, which even made Zhunti think that the Supreme Lord had seen through his and his senior brother's plans.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Lord calmly replied, "The great rise of Buddhism is a predetermined destiny."

I have been stripped of my saintly status and would never do anything against the will of Heaven.

Zhao Gongming, that scoundrel, would certainly not go against the general trend.

However, the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. There is only a glimmer of hope. Even the Heavenly Dao is not yet perfect. If your Buddhist sect wants to perfect the tribulations, I'm afraid...

Upon hearing Taishang cursing their Buddhist sect, Zhunti was so angry he almost jumped up and down.

Amitabha Buddha!

You old geezer, it's bad enough that you've fallen from your holy position, but now you can't stand to see Buddhism doing well!

That's it!

This humble monk possesses remarkable self-cultivation and profound Buddhist knowledge, so I will not bother arguing with you, you old Taoist priest.

After thinking it over, Zhunti also spoke up: "If the Buddhist tradition has not yet completed its kalpa, then it will transmit the scriptures after the kalpa has been completed!"

How about using the number of calamities to determine the extent of the flourishing of Buddhism?

This is what the Supreme Lord wanted to hear, and it is also the deepest pit he dug for Buddhism.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't dare to easily defy the will of Heaven. But what kind of being is Zhao Gongming?

During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, he went into battle bare-chested and brutally beat up the Heavenly Saint.

If your Buddhist sect wants to flourish, then even if Zhao Gongming doesn't take action openly, he will certainly try to trip you up in secret!

Although he was at odds with Zhao Gongming, he also had no good feelings towards Buddhism.

Of course, this was under the condition that the Supreme Being was unaware of the Buddhist arrangements.

If he knew about the secret arrangements made by Zhunti Jieyin, who wanted to use the perfect eon to make Buddhism flourish for immeasurable eons.

I'm afraid that even at a cost, we will thwart the Buddhist sect's scheme.

After all, Zhunti and Jieyin's appetite was simply too great.

The moon has its phases, and even a powerful sect like the Jie Sect cannot escape this fate.

But what do you Western Buddhist sects want to do? You want to prosper forever and last for countless eons?

Even the Xuanmen sect, founded by the Dao Ancestor, dared not say that it could continue until the immeasurable eons, as it still faced the covetous gaze of the demonic path.

You, Zhunti Jieyin, are quite something, wanting to become fat in one bite!

Of course, not only Taishang, but all the other sages were also unaware of Zhunti Jieyin's ambition.

Firstly, the flourishing of Buddhism is an inevitable trend, as evidenced by numerous calamities, from the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts to the Great Calamity of Witches and Demons. Obstructing this trend would have very serious consequences.

Secondly, the calamities that Buddhism faces are karmic obstacles that must be overcome during the flourishing of Buddhism, and are tribulations that erode karma.

This is a perfectly normal thing; it's just that there are more calamities than expected, making it hard to make that connection.

These two Western saints actually gambled with the fortune of their own great sects, and even leveraged it into the calamity, waiting for the calamity to be completed so that they could reap a thousandfold or even ten thousandfold rewards.

Of course, the risks involved are also quite significant.

The Buddhist community's fortune is integrated into the calamity, which is like adding a hundred or a thousand times the leverage. If they are not careful, the Buddhist community's fortune will be directly "blown up"!

Having received the answer he wanted, Taishang calmly said, "This matter is settled."

Your Buddhist teachings have spread eastward through countless eons, and you have transmitted countless scriptures!

The number of scriptures transmitted corresponds to the extent of the flourishing of your Buddhist community!

After some discussion, both sides were satisfied with what they wanted, and Zhunti immediately returned to the Chaos Starry Sky Dojo.

However, the Supreme Being's expression was somewhat gloomy. Before him, three clusters of pure energy were arranged in a triangular pattern, as if to expound the ultimate truth of the Great Destruction and Great Cycle.

.................

In the Chaos City of Beiju Luzhou, Zhao Gongming sat cross-legged, his consciousness exploring the many secret realms of the virtual universe.

These secret realms were all created by him by combining his memories from his previous life; they are all different kinds of worlds and planes.

At this moment, Zhao Gongming divided his consciousness into countless parts and invested them into numerous worlds. Furthermore, a continuous stream of emotions and desires converged from the virtual universe to temper his own state of mind. This was the fastest way that Zhao Gongming invented to temper his own state of mind.

Finally, with time flowing at a speed of 100,000 times, even Zhao Gongming himself could no longer remember how long he had been cultivating.

On this day, as if sensing something, he slowly opened his eyes. At the same time, the consciousnesses that were originally scattered in countless worlds all converged here.

In an instant, unimaginable insights and emotions surged forth like waters from all corners of the world. At this moment, Zhao Gongming felt as if he were experiencing the emotions of billions of living beings simultaneously.

Under this constant erosion, his already nearly enlightened state of mind is finally undergoing a transformation.

These are long stories, but they only take a moment to tell.

Soon, as a mysterious aura emerged, the primordial purple energy within Zhao Gongming's primordial spirit began to slowly merge.
