Chapter 228: War Fozu Gate

The Three Teachings are among the most prosperous forces in the world.

It can even be called the foundation of the Human Race's establishment on Mortal Earth.

Fo Men has the Wangxian Realm stationed, as is only natural.

There may be more than one.

"Fo Men fortune?"

Facing Great Sun Fozu's questioning, Lin Chuan responded forcefully, "What is Fo Men fortune? It is the fortune that Pure World White Lotus bestows upon Heaven and Earth."

"Those with affinity obtain it!"

"This fortune has no affinity with your Fo Men, but it has affinity with me."

Fo Men's obstruction is essentially useless; Lin Chuan of the Wangxian Realm can fully control Pure World White Lotus, and the continuous fortune is drawn away from Fo Men.

"Daoist Friend, you intend to harm sentient beings; I have no choice but to liberate you."

Great Sun Fozu took a step forward, intending to ascend to the Star Realm.

Seeing this, Lin Chuan also stepped forward and struck directly, a massive palm slamming toward Fo Men's sacred ground, Golden Spirit Mountain.

Behind Great Sun Fozu, a great sun manifested, blocking the thunderously falling palm.

"Burial Spirit Domain."

"Umbral Boundless."

Lin Chuan's Heavenly Dao Divine Office controls the underworld's Umbral realm, and the Divine Power he wields precisely counteracts Fo Men's Divine Power.

Whichever is stronger can press the other down.

The rolling Umbral energy spreads over Golden Spirit Mountain.

Ten Thousand Ghosts Roam Heaven, Corpse King Opens the Way, Xiu Luo Blood Sea, Yan Wang Pan Guan…

After many years of return, Lin Chuan remains the ruler of Hell's Umbral realm; whenever he offers his Divine Power, the myriad denizens of Hell's Umbral realm all respond!

"Daoist Friend, you wield such Divine Power; are you truly not afraid of heavenly retribution?"

Great Sun Fozu's words contain fear.

Such Divine Power seems demonic yet is not demonic, leaving him unable to grasp it.

When did such a mighty being appear between Heaven and Earth?

Could it be an ancient monster awakened from some era?

"I do not fear the Karma here."

Lin Chuan said coldly, "I wonder whether your Fo Men can endure; Fo Men boasts of protecting sentient beings, yet fights for this fortune disregarding their peril—truly a joke."

In the Era of Tianmo Chuan, he forged a considerable feud with Fo Men.

Originally, Fo Men's ancestor was Duanmou.

Before Tianmo Chuan fell, a Heavenly Dao Great Vow was made, trapping Fo Men, scattering Pure World Hong Lian onto the land where Fo Men's Dao tradition resides.

Unexpectedly, Fo Men's Dao tradition was not affected; instead it suppressed the Hong Lian.

This should be related to the Heavenly Dao's protection of Fo Men.

Fo Men's founding masters likely all rely on Merit to step into the Wangxian Realm, belonging to the weakest class within the Wangxian Realm, weaker even than those who hold the Heavenly Dao Divine Office.

The strongest Wangxian Realm naturally relies on personal insight into Chaos, attaining Immortal Divine Power blessings.

Yang Zu embodies the "strongest" realm; although he hails from the Purple Star Emperor Sect, he does not rely on sect Merit to Wangxian, having forged a life‑essential treasure that can sense the Chaos Great Dao.

The Three Teachings, borrowing the advantage of the Heavenly Dao, naturally must be restrained by it.

Lin Chuan has long already experienced this.

The Umbral Boundless Divine Power unfolded on Golden Spirit Mountain, causing the entire surroundings of Golden Spirit Mountain to rapidly decay, as if fallen into Hell.

"Who exactly are you? Why do you contend with my Fo Men?"

"Severing my Fo Men fortune, what benefit does it bring you?"

Great Sun Fozu could not help but question.

He felt the opponent's power was somewhat familiar, yet could not articulate it.

"I have made clear, this is not your Fo Men fortune; you have no affinity yet force it—how can you cultivate the Heavenly Dao Great Way?"

Lin Chuan's words rolled out like a torrent, bearing terrifying soul pressure, striking directly at Great Sun Fozu's Dao heart.

Clusters of Pure World White Lotus, bearing Fo Men's decades of accumulated fortune, drift inexorably toward the Heavenly Dome.

"Daoist Friend, do you truly intend to cut all ties?"

Great Sun Fozu grew urgent.

Fo Men, to transform Pure World Hong Lian into Pure World White Lotus, spared no effort, letting countless Fo Men great beings sacrifice their lives to suppress, creating the Three Thousand Fozu Lands.

From ancient times to the present, Fo Men has exhausted its great power.

Only then were the Hong Lian at the site of Fo Men's Dao tradition completely purified, becoming the white lotus of Merit and Fortune.

Fo Men thus rose steadily.

The Fo Men, originally severely damaged, gradually returned to a rank parallel with Daoism, contending with it.

But if the hard‑won purified White Lotus is taken, having been made a bridal veil for others in vain, Fo Men will suffer another severe blow!

How could one endure?

"Are you forcing me to awaken Fo Men's other founding masters?"

From ancient times to now, within Fo Men, always a top‑tier power, there naturally is more than one founding master.

Even within the Golden Spirit Mountain lineage, there is more than one Wangxian Realm.

It is just that the other Wangxian Realms have fallen into slumber; once awakened, a great price must be paid.

Even a fall.

This matter is of great significance, concerning Fo Men's foundation; Great Sun Fozu absolutely cannot stand idly by as the White Lotus is taken and the fortune is severed.

"Burning Lamp Fozu."

"Wake up quickly! Wake up quickly!"

Seeing the nether gloom's qi about to crush the whole Golden Spirit Mountain, Great Sun Fozu realized the opponent was not an ordinary Wangxian Realm.

It must be that kind of strongest Wangxian who, by his own grasp of Immortal Divine Power, forges his destined treasure!

With only himself, he could not possibly resist.

Great Sun Fozu felt so aggrieved.

Five thousand years ago, Yang Zu, who had been dormant for countless years, struck Golden Spirit Mountain; a Buddhist nation was forcibly removed and merged into Mortal Earth's Three Thousand Prefectures.

Now another has come, even more ruthless than Yang Zu!

This one intends to cut off the Fo Men's hard‑won qi‑fortune; if that happens, the Golden Spirit Mountain line of Fo Men will utterly decline!

Thereafter, it will lose its pinnacle position within Fo Men!

"Great Sun Fozu, what summons me to awaken?"

Burning Lamp Fozu was the patriarch of the Golden Spirit Mountain line ten thousand years ago, having long sealed himself in slumber, awaiting the right moment to awaken.

Burning Lamp Fozu can be considered Great Sun Fozu's senior.

But according to Golden Spirit Mountain's rules, once one steps into the Wangxian Realm, regardless of seniority, all are founders of the same sect, equal in rank.

"A formidable foe attacks, seeking to forcibly extract Pure World White Lotus from our Fo Men, cutting Fo Men's qi‑fortune."

"I cannot defeat him; I can only awaken you."

Burning Lamp Fozu's slumber has not been long; his vitality remains robust, whereas if another Fozu were awakened, they might easily fall.

"Cut… Fo Men's qi‑fortune, what audacity."

Burning Lamp Fozu let out an angry shout, fully awakening, stepping out from deep within Golden Spirit Mountain to the summit, beside Great Sun Fozu.

Feeling the rolling nether gloom, looking at the foot of Golden Spirit Mountain as if it were falling into Di Yu, his complexion grew increasingly grim.

Burning Lamp Fozu asked, "These methods feel familiar… who is he?"

Great Sun Fozu shook his head, "I don't know; it should be an ancient slumbering demonic path old monster, perhaps seeking to borrow Fo Men's qi‑fortune to extend its life."

"Only a handful of demonic path practitioners can reach this level; none are so versed in the way of qi‑fortune, and he resembles none of the demonic path's Wangxian!"

Burning Lamp Fozu furrowed his brows, "To speak truly, looking across the ages, only one person could achieve this step."

"Who?"

"That one… Heavenly Demon Old Ancestor!"

Burning Lamp Fozu uttered the name he most dreaded mentioning.

"Impossible!"

Great Sun Fozu said, "Heavenly Demon Old Ancestor fell in ancient times, bearing endless Calamity, erased by Heavenly Dao, his soul already sacrificed, with no chance of reincarnation!"

The story of Heavenly Demon Old Ancestor has no record in any book; it is passed orally among the strong, and the Wangxian Realm are of course aware of some secrets.

Precisely for this reason, they firmly believe Heavenly Demon Old Ancestor cannot return.

This person! Absolutely not!
