West Country.
Amidst the yellow sandy gale, a domineering blade light cuts across the sand and sweeps away into the sky.
“Is it so easy to tell him about the Buddha?”
Shakti, who had already separated from his trinity state on top of the three mountain-high Buddha statues outside Nalanda Temple, looked at the distant sword light and asked.
“Not telling him will only make him pester us,” Brahma said, “We can’t help him, and he can’t help us, and it’s just a waste of time to be pestered by him all the time.
Besides, it would be good to let them go after the Buddhists. It’s just a pity that ——”
Pity about what? Naturally, it was a pity that there was no way to recruit followers by brainwashing. Acting in this manner and making too many enemies would only lead one to the path of extinction.
The more Bochun rebellious he is, the more enemies he makes, and he will either be killed by a strong enemy or he will cut down all the enemies and force the Buddha to be released.
Whichever the outcome, it will be annihilation, just a matter of time.
If the Three Phase God’s intention had not been worn down by time, and had long since lost its former strength, perhaps Bo Xun would have embarked on this path by now.
“The Buddha is really insidious, I’m afraid that when he left the Three Phase God’s divine weapon behind in the first place, he had already predicted today.” Exterminating Heaven snorted coldly.
“Today, our only goal is to enhance our power and restore the Three Phase Gods to their full strength. When the Great Tribulation breaks through the blockade, we can directly break through and meet the Buddha.”
————————
“What Bo Xun means is ——”
Qing Yu looked at the Blade God and frowned, “The Buddha and the Daoist Ancestor, for some reason, were blocked by the Heavenly Dao and their consciousnesses are now imprisoned within the Heavenly Dao, undergoing its erosion. If we were to break through the blockade, we would also let the two of them out of their trap.
And the reason why the Buddha wanted the successor of the Three Phase Gods to come into being was to recreate the great tribulation of the PeaC*ck Dynasty back then, allowing himself to be released from his trap ahead of time?”
At this moment, he and the Blade God were conferring within the Vault of Heaven in the form of a Yuan Shen projection. But it was only the two of them who were conferring, and the rest of the members had not come online.
“More than that,” said the Blade God, “the Buddha is trying to force the Heavenly Dao to let him go, so the restrictions of Heaven and Earth will still not be broken. He will use the power of the Dao realm to reorganise the heaven and earth, to swipe away those of us who intend to set off the great tribulation and reinforce the blockade.
At that time, the world will be his to reckon with.”
But isn’t it? The Buddha has come out and the Daoist Ancestor is still locked up in a small dark room, in that case, this world will be dominated by the Buddha.
And the reason why the Daoist Ancestor had the Old Man of Time and Destiny rebuild the Nine Heavens and promote the Great Tribulation was to violently break out of prison and reappear in the world.
Compared to the Buddha, the Daoist Ancestor was a little more direct and less fussy, perhaps because he was confident in his own strength and thought he could suppress the Buddha.
The Daoist Ancestor’s purpose is not unlike that of the Blade God. If they wanted to break through and live forever, they had to break the blockade and help the Daoist Buddha break out of prison.
“In that case, the Daoist Master’s idea should be to follow the example of the Buddha back then, and use the pressure of those of us who are against the heavens to force the heavenly dao to open the door for him to make a breakthrough.” Qing Yu said.
The Daoist Lord of the Supreme Being’s previous attitude was so ambiguous, just to allow Jiu Tian to become the second batch of Three Phase Gods, while he himself would save the day at a critical moment by saving the day and helping the building to fall.
The role of the Nine Heavens would just be to serve as a stepping stone for him and help him make a breakthrough.
In this way, the Supreme Lord of the Tao achieved the Dao realm, but the blockade would not be opened, and the Daoist Buddha would still be locked up in a small dark room, leaving the world at his mercy.
In a sense, the plan of the Lord of the Way of the Supreme Being and the Buddha is similar, but incompatible. For only one saviour is needed.
“Nowadays, there are two ways to achieve the Dao realm, and we, then, can only choose one of them.” Qing Yu thought of this and said with a bitter smile.
He and the Blade God, along with the other members of the Nine Heavens, were all promoters of the Great Tribulation and had long been on the Heavenly Dao’s blacklist.
Qing Yu himself had even directly and indirectly taken the lives of countless people, and could not be cleansed at all.
The Heavenly Dao is a heartless, spiritless and unintelligent thing, a mere manifestation of the will of Heaven and Earth, just like Qing Yu’s computer in his previous life, deadpan to the extreme. This also means that once you are on the blacklist, it is basically impossible to come down.
Want to be the saviour? Sorry, you’d have to fight for your life, but it’s still impossible.
Only someone like the Supreme Daoist Lord, who has planned ahead and has been hiding in the shadows in divine seclusion, not involved in karma, would be qualified to choose another path.
“Right now, it seems that it is Taishang, a scheming old fellow, who has the greatest chance of success.” The Blade God tapped his finger on the throne, making a resounding sound.
The Buddha had actually missed out on Lord Tai Shang Dao, if it were true that Bo Xuan was sweeping the world unstoppable, the chances of Lord Tai Shang Dao, who had been uninvolved in karma, being chosen would be far greater than that of the Buddha.
Who would choose a prisoner to save himself if he was not at the end of his rope?
“So what is your plan, God of Swords, and what is it?”
“Intentions? Ha,” the Blade God bantered, his blade intent forming the form of a broken sword as he slashed out, splitting a path through the white mist between the vault of heaven.
“My intention is to cleave a path through the sky with a single slash.”
The Blade God’s body emitted a stunning blade intent, “Heavenly Dao or Daoist Buddha, if you want to block my path, you will first suffer my blade. I, Nangong Broken Sword, have never backed down in my life.”
After these words, the Blade God then directly withdrew between the heavenly dome, seemingly without any intention of asking Qing Yu, and also seemingly ——
he had understood Qing Yu’s choice.
“It’s really wild and domineering, but ——” Qing Yu gave a low laugh, “it’s also just what I want.”
Just like what the Blade God said, those who stand in the way are killed. The original Nine Heavens was founded to kill a way out. Now that the Hundred Steps had traveled ninety-five steps, Qing Yu was not going to back down on the last bit of distance.
His figure faded and likewise withdrew between the vault of heaven.
And the first thing he did after returning to reality was to inform his men, [Jian Su, take Jian Ji, Yun Zheng and Seven Nights with you, and then take the Demon Mastering Power Order with you, and go forward to receive the Destiny Altar.
Qing Yu hadn’t forgotten about the existence of the Altar of Destiny. Since he had killed the Old Man of Time and Destiny, then as the victor, it was only logical to receive an altar of destiny, wasn’t it?
Since the Old Man of Destiny was a pawn laid by the Daoist Ancestor, there might be some information about the Daoist Ancestor’s plans at the Altar of Destiny.
Even if not, receiving the Altar of Destiny would be a way to control the mouthpiece of the world.
Thanks to the operation of successive altar masters, the Altar of Destiny is arguably the most authoritative news unit in the world. This is evident from the fact that all kinds of lists are published by the Altar of Destiny.
Although the Fate Altar’s celestial calculators are now “blind” in this confusing situation, they can still be of some use in certain areas.
[The Sword and the Host take orders.]
The powerful Sword Sovereign, Xuan Yin, is ready to go.
