Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

He watched as Zhao Gongming drove the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls closer and closer to him.

At this moment, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara felt as if he had returned to the ancient battlefield of the Investiture of the Gods...

Back during the Investiture of the Gods era, I was the vice leader of the Chan Sect, and I fought against the disciples of the Jie Sect several times.

He fought with Zhao Gongming more than once.

Although Zhao Gongming was a junior to him, his strength was extremely terrifying.

If I hadn't launched a sneak attack with the Qiankun Ruler and succeeded in one move, the outcome would have been uncertain.

That time was just like this moment...

But the circumstances are completely different.

During the Investiture of the Gods, the disciples of the Chan Sect were his teammates, but now they are his opponents.

And these guys are all hoping they'll die!

Guang Chengzi was overjoyed to see Zhao Gongming join the battle.

"Hehehehehe! Junior Brother Zhao! Well done!!!" Actually, Guang Chengzi was excited not because Zhao Gongming attacked Dipankara Buddha, but because Dipankara Buddha was already completely at a disadvantage.

Even without Zhao Gongming's intervention, Dipankara Buddha wouldn't have gained any advantage.

So that's not what excited Guangchengzi...

The conflict between the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect has never had a dignified end since the Investiture of the Gods.

The disciples of the Chan Sect do not leave Kunlun Mountain, while the disciples of the Jie Sect become immortals in the Heavenly Court.

After the Investiture of the Gods, the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect had virtually no interaction...

Now that Zhao Gongming is willing to fight alongside them, this is undoubtedly a very good sign for the disciples of the two sects.

After all, Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, was the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, and his influence within the sect was second only to a few of his direct disciples.

Even for some outer disciples of the Jie Sect, Zhao Gongming was considered more influential than the direct disciples when speaking to the senior outer disciple.

Previously, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu had expressed their intention to reconcile and had also released signals of reconciliation, such as Yuanshi Tianmo helping Qingping Daoren seize the creation treasure.

The disciples of the Jie Sect rarely treated the disciples of the Chan Sect well... Guang Chengzi had received a decree from Yuanshi Tianzun in Kunlun Mountain before he left the mountain.

As the most beloved disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, Guang Chengzi knew his master's thoughts the moment he heard his master's decree.

Therefore, Guang Chengzi naturally wanted to ease tensions with the disciples of the Jie Sect…

Otherwise, Guang Chengzi wouldn't have gone to such lengths to help the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming, retrieve the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in this struggle.

Now that the God of Wealth Zhao Gongming is willing to fight alongside the disciples of the Chan Sect, this is a good start!

Guang Chengzi's hearty laughter startled the ancient Buddha Dipankara from his reverie.

The ancient Buddha Dipankara quickly came to his senses.

The pressure on Dipankara Buddha from being besieged by the disciples of the Chan Sect was already immense.

But now another Zhao Gongming has appeared, and he is a Zhao Gongming who has regained the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

This caused the Buddha Dipankara immense suffering.

Isn't this bullying honest people?!

There are so many Buddhas in the West, why are you all fixated on me?! Even if my identity as a traitor to the Xuanmen sect makes me more hated.

But isn't Ratna Trayastrimsa Buddha also a traitor? Why don't you all go and attack Ratna Trayastrimsa Buddha?!

Compared to the siege by the crowd, Dipankara Buddha was quite envious of Tathagata Buddha at this moment.

Although the Buddha was battling the Jade Emperor, the two were evenly matched, unlike his own side, which had been made so disheveled.

With the Jade Emperor's cooperation, the Buddha's battle of wits was quite impressive!

That guy... he was really...

The air was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, and the crackling of firecrackers…

No, no, it's more like magical treasures flying everywhere and supernatural powers being unleashed all over the place.

Even so, Dipankara Buddha still felt envious.

After all, the Buddha did not lose any magical treasures or suffer any loss of cultivation.

Upon regaining his senses, Dipankara Buddha hurriedly summoned the Coffin Palace Lantern, a magical artifact that was his companion and one of his most prized possessions.

Facing Zhao Gongming, who possessed twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, Dipankara Buddha dared not be careless in the slightest. Although Dipankara Buddha knew that Zhao Gongming's true spirit had been listed on the Investiture of the Gods, his cultivation would not improve in the slightest. His cultivation level was still the same as during the Investiture of the Gods calamity, and he had already fallen far behind him.

However, Dipankara Buddha still did not underestimate Zhao Gongming.

Because the current Dipankara Buddha has lost one of his three corpses, his cultivation level is only equivalent to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, while Zhao Gongming has been blessed by a magic weapon.

Without saying a word, Dipankara Buddha immediately summoned his coffin palace lamp. As for the Qiankun Ruler, Dipankara Buddha did not dare to use it, after all, he still had to guard against sneak attacks from other disciples of the Chan Sect.

The Lingjiu Palace Lantern floated in front of the Dipankara Buddha, and the candlelight inside the lantern shone brightly for a moment!

With candlelight as the foundation, and merit as the light.

The coffin lantern instantly unleashed a radiant barrier, enveloping the Dipankara Buddha within it.

This coffin palace lamp is no ordinary magic treasure; it is one of the top-grade innate spiritual treasures and one of the four great innate spiritual lamps of the primordial world.

The four primordial spirit lamps of the primordial world are quite prestigious.

One of them, the Eight Views Palace Lantern, was in the hands of the Taiqing Sage, Taiqing Laozi. It contained the Heaven-Burning Purple Fire, which could burn the heavens and boil the seas, and could burn all obstacles.

It is the treasure of the Eight Views Palace of Laozi of Taiqing, used for lecturing and lighting, and its power is terrifying when fully activated.

The other Jade Void Glazed Lamp is in the hands of the Primordial Celestial Venerable. The Jade Void Glazed Lamp contains the Golden Fire of Cleansing Karma, which can observe all spirits, explore cause and effect, and see through illusion and reality. It is the sacred lamp that guards the Jade Void Palace.

Three of the four innate spiritual lamps is the Coffin Palace Lamp, which is the companion magic treasure of the Burning Lamp Daoist, also known as the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha.

The coffin lantern contains ghostly flames that connect directly to the netherworld, revealing the past lives of the deceased.

During the Investiture of the Gods calamity, the wick of the Lingjiu Palace Lantern transformed into Ma Shan, who participated in the battles during the Investiture of the Gods calamity.

When Yin Jiao was attacking Xiqi, he recruited Ma Shan, so Ma Shan became one of Yin Jiao's generals.

Ma Shan was then captured alive by Deng Jiugong and taken to Xiqi, where Jiang Ziya ordered him to be executed.

As a result, the head was severed by a steel knife, and the person immediately revived.

Nezha used his Samadhi Fire to burn Ma Shan, but it did not harm him in the slightest. Ma Shan was even able to escape using the fire escape technique, leaving the people of Xiqi helpless.

Later, Yang Jian borrowed the Demon-Revealing Mirror and discovered that Ma Shan's true form was a lamp wick, realizing that this fellow was the transformed wick of the Coffin Palace Lamp.

Then Xiqi invited the Taoist Ran Deng, who subdued Ma Shan.

The Taoist Ran Deng directly retrieved Ma Shan into the coffin lamp, transforming him back into the wick...
