Chapter 442: Heavenly Mandate

Su Ping was initially worried that the High Monk might not keep his word.

After learning of his identity, he dismissed this thought.

This High Monk was named Motuoluo, one of the most senior Buddha Venerables currently in the Buddha Alliance.

He had also put in great effort back in the day regarding the expansion of the Buddha Realm.

Not only were the Fomen disciples who had received his grace spread throughout the entire Buddha Realm, but most crucially, this Xiantian Changqing Wutong Shenshu was something this High Monk had brought to the Buddha Realm in the first place.

The relationship was somewhat similar to that between Su Ping and the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree.

This was also why the inner demon Avatar originating from the High Monk could so easily steal the great power of this divine tree.

Su Ping also had Fire Knight Alwin curiously engage in conversation with the High Monk.

From his mouth, he supplemented quite a few secret accounts related to the Dark Disaster Chaos.

And being able to hear so many secret accounts was also because the High Monk, through previous contact, discovered that Fire Knight Alwin was simply a monster, as if he could ignore any Mental Pollution.

It was just that the Demon Gods and monster legions in the Chaos World had no interest in management.

The Multi-Eyed Buddha Venerable pressed his palms together and bowed toward the High Monk, representing the Buddha Realm, and with one step, appeared before Fire Knight Alwin.

The Buddha Venerables on the lotus platforms all revealed smiles.

Given Tian Rulai's aptitude and performance, one could only say that it had joined the wrong camp.

The tens of thousands of High Monks who had been keeping watch all noticed that changes had appeared in the deep pit.

The Dark Disaster Chaos, compared to the solitary Dark Mother God and Decay.

Life and death were often controlled by the primordial consciousness of Chaos.

Then, he did not ask why that divine tree was missing from this world.

"Good!"

"This place is the Buddha Realm that we have continuously cultivated for ten thousand years!"

In the eyes of the high-level officials of the North King Time Domain, the Dark Disaster Chaos, although its manifestations looked slightly different.

*Whoosh! * It disappeared without a trace on the spot!

This made the Multi-Eyed Buddha Venerable's body pause, immediately freezing him in place.

Outside the Small World.

The originally laid-out Barrier disappeared layer by layer.

"Great good!"

He then prepared to leave the Buddha Realm with Fire Knight Alwin.

The Small Worlds and Large Worlds it invaded were all destroyed, serving as nourishment to satisfy its mad desires.

If that Mother God didn't just let the Evil Spirits inside her Dark Void act as probiotics to help digest food, but released them to help find food.

Plus, Buddhist music began to play.

"What is going on?"

"Even if we encounter the Dark Disaster invading this place, there is a reason for it."

The vast majority of those corrupted by Chaos would also lose their self-consciousness.

Fire Knight Alwin, in front of thousands of High Monks and several venerable Buddha Venerables.

If given enough time, Su Ping did not doubt that Tian Rulai could become a Demon Venerable that even the High Monk would worry about and fear.

He nodded quite approvingly.

First, white light emerged.

Thus, he was no longer worried that this young man would have a mental breakdown and fall into depravity from knowing too much.

But after discovering that the heroic youth before him smiled, shook his head, and said there was no need.

Then, strange scenes appeared all around, such as celestial maidens scattering flowers and golden lotuses blooming in the Void.

He told them everything he knew.

As several Buddha Venerables spoke in unison to praise him.

Once their actions did not conform to the primordial consciousness, their Divine Soul could be extinguished in an instant.

Then, the many High Monks all saw Fire Knight Alwin standing on the flat ground with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

A very small number were recognized and became Shitai or seeds of Demon Gods.

First, he gave the reward for this time.

As the Buddha Venerables laughed, the atmosphere in all directions also relaxed, with Buddha light illuminating the earth, and all things on the ground reviving.

But its essence was no different from the Mother God and Decay; it was an ancient and insane conscious existence that had existed since ancient times, like a parasite, making demands on the entire Shikong Haiyu!

It was more like an invasion from outside the realm.

Su Ping also thought of the children of the Evil Gods and the Evil Spirits within that supreme Dark Mother God.

Then wouldn't this supreme Dark Mother God look no different from Chaos?

And she should have also long since cultivated children of Evil Gods comparable to the four Demon Venerables in Chaos, right?

If he were in the Chaos camp, Tian Rulai should have been in the first echelon of the Chaos Demon Gods by now.

"How could he have instantly disappeared from this place without our Buddha decree?"

"Incredible!"

"How on earth was this teleportation divine ability, which ignores the ten thousand layers of Arrays and spatial Barriers of the Buddha Realm, achieved!"

The Buddha Venerables were suspicious and uncertain in their hearts; their original dissatisfaction with the High Monk's private decision to give away the divine tree had faded a lot because of this change.

"The matter here is concluded; you may all disperse."

In the sky, the High Monk's voice suddenly descended.

Although the surrounding High Monks had doubts in their hearts, they dared not disobey and rose one after another to disperse.

Buddha Venerable Duomu and the other monks stepped into the Small World with grave expressions, seeing the Divine Monk lying inside the Amber.

"I do not have much time left in my lucid state."

"As for your doubts, cough, cough, cough... come and see for yourselves."

"This... is the reason why I gave up the Divine Tree."

As the Divine Monk spoke, a mysterious black shadow emerged on the surface of the Amber.

The black shadow gradually became clear; it seemed to be the back of a graceful female Cultivator?

But very quickly, Buddha Venerable Duomu and the others all saw that something was wrong.

How could this female Cultivator have Thousand Hands Ten Thousand Arms?

How could she have thousands upon thousands of faces and eyes?

How could she... make them feel an urge to prostrate themselves in worship, as if they had seen the World Honored One Tathagata?

"Thus have I heard! In the heavens and on earth, the World Honored One is the only one!"

The Divine Monk timely canceled the projection and chanted a Buddha name.

Buddha Venerable Duomu and the others immediately regained their senses, understood the Divine Monk's meaning, and one after another lowered their eyes and pressed their palms together to chant the Buddha name of the World Honored One as the only one.

The Divine Monk generously gave away the Divine Tree.

It was because he saw that the power which forced back the phantom of the Chaos Demon God within the Divine Tree represented a mastermind no less formidable than any Dark Catastrophe.

The Divine Monk had lived too long, to the point that after seeing the Divine Tree saved, he began to suspect that this Divine Tree was no longer clean and already bore the Mark of that unknown Shengsheng Cunzai.

Although he had not discovered any abnormalities, it was perfectly normal for him to find nothing if such an existence intended to conceal it.

Therefore, thinking this way, rather than keeping it and letting it become a source of anxiety, it was better to use it to sell a favor.

It could also be considered as establishing good relations with this mysterious Salvation Lineage.

Buddha Venerable Duomu and the others, after coming into contact with such a secret matter, also expressed their support for the Divine Monk's decision.

Naturally, their private observations and investigations into the Xuanling World also increased.

The lineage of Buddha Venerable Duomu even set the tone for befriending the other party and dispatched the most eloquent and socially adept monks from their lineage to the Xuanling World to handle matters.

Su Ping was unaware of the changes in the Buddha Realm.

He knew that he had made a huge profit from this operation.

Not only High-grade Spirit Stones, but also a rare Ancient Divine Tree!

Because he possessed a cheat-like item such as Abundant Spirit Water.

After establishing a firm footing in the Xiayu, Su Ping had intended to search for seeds of relevant Divine Trees.

Unfortunately, one could never hope to obtain anything at the level of the Jianmu Divine Tree or the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree through trade in the North King Time Domain.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Three Great Alliances had almost swept the market clean of relevant items in order to build their respective secret realms.

Plus, such sacred objects generally possessed a certain uniqueness; as long as the old ones did not die, no real seeds would be born.

Up until now, not counting the Divine Tree just obtained, Su Ping only had Spirit Plants of a secondary or even lower grade in his possession.

These Spirit Plants could be considered treasures, and it was not as if they could not be cultivated.

However, for Su Ping, who was used to planting good things, he already looked down on these Spirit Plants in the absence of an urgent need.

The requirements for devouring Small Worlds for Dao Integration could be fully met by watering the Jianmu Divine Tree to obtain clones.

And thus, Su Ping, who once again possessed a Divine Tree of the same caliber as the Jianmu Divine Tree,

immediately returned to the Water Blue Star World and planted this Xiantian Changqing Wutong Shenshu on Saturn.

Accompanied by the pouring of a large amount of Abundant Spirit Water,

Saturn, which had recently activated its artificial Spirit Vein and whose planetary consciousness had recovered a glimmer of vitality, merged with this Xiantian Changqing Wutong Shenshu.

As the Divine Tree's height broke through 100,000 meters,

thousands of golden Wutong leaves transformed into seven golden leaves.

Following that, the seven golden leaves disappeared and appeared within the consciousness sea of Su Ping's true self.

They became an Innate Spirit Object nourishing Su Ping's Divine Soul.

Su Ping felt something in his heart.

This seemed to be the form of those Innate Supreme Treasures in the Cultivation World before they were fully formed.

It was quite possible that the Innate Supreme Treasures of those Heavenly Immortals in the Cultivation World were all nurtured by ancient Great Abilities after placing Innate Spirit Objects within their bodies and enduring great hardships.

And because they were cultivated by oneself, he could feel that they were much handier to use than other Innate Supreme Treasures that were forcibly contracted.

In the Cultivation World.

The news of the Buddha Realm encountering a Chaos invasion also gradually spread to the Xiayu through the propaganda of interested parties.

Many Cultivators were somewhat incredulous upon hearing this, as these were terrifying things they only heard about in storybooks during their childhood.

One day, they would actually appear in reality.

Some were distressed and confused, wondering what had happened to the North King Time Domain recently?

How could it be that in an instant, all the major Dark Catastrophes had set their sights on the North King Time Domain!

Could it be that their generation of Cultivators could no longer live a peaceful life?

And regarding the confusion of these Cultivators,

Su Ping, after cultivating the Innate Divine Tree, also obtained part of the answer from it.

The unusually frequent occurrences in the North King Time Domain recently were not a coincidence.

Originally, the entire vast and boundless North King Time Domain also had a super-large Barrier formed by the consciousness of thousands of worlds, blocking the approach of extra-territorial existences like Chaos.

It was just that the Supreme Dark Mother God, who had awakened early, had smashed open a gap in the Barrier of the North King Time Domain while devouring it.

The birth of this gap not only affected Decay, causing it to slowly awaken,

but also attracted other Dark Catastrophes to make their moves.

It was just like a pack of hyenas watching a powerful predator crush its prey's throat, eat the internal organs, and leave.

Although it seemed to have a little bit to do with Su Ping.

But looking closely, Su Ping actually helped the Cultivators of the North King Time Domain.

Otherwise, if one were to go by the intensity of the Supreme Mother God's feeding after she naturally woke up.

The damage suffered by the North King Time Domain would have been greater, and the gaps would have been more numerous and deeper.

A Dark Catastrophe like Chaos would very likely have taken the opportunity to launch a large-scale invasion at the first moment, causing the kind of Chaos Catastrophe that affects most of a Time Domain as recorded in the ancient sects.

By that time, in the vast North King Time Domain, there would be no Jingtu left, and the flames of war would erupt everywhere.

Failing to defeat the incoming enemy would mean the arrival of the end of the world.

And even if one could defeat the opponent through a stroke of luck, according to the records, the best-case scenario would still be that less than one in ten living beings in the Small Worlds would survive.

Along with countless pioneers whose Dao paths were severed.

It would often take thousands or even ten thousand years to recuperate and recover.

And then... then, just like fully grown crops, they would face another harvest by the Dark Catastrophe.

But now, it is different.

Because of Su Ping's little bit of help, the Supreme Dark Mother God woke up early.

Causing everything to follow suit and happen early.

Although it caused some trouble for the living beings of the North King Time Domain.

It also gave them time to prepare and be on alert.

It also meant that a Dark Catastrophe like Chaos lost the opportunity to carry out a full-scale surprise attack.

No matter how he looked at it, Su Ping felt that his merits should outweigh his faults, and he had performed immeasurable meritorious service for the North King Time Domain.

It was just a pity that this world seemed a bit dull and did not realize this, actually failing to bestow upon him destiny and fortune to enjoy the treatment of a protagonist of heaven's mandate.

However, having realized this.

Su Ping also realized in the dark why Chiyuan Xianren had all sorts of opportunities rushing toward her as soon as she appeared.

It should be that although the North King Time Domain did not know why this harvest was early, it was still aware that the harvest was imminent.

Yet, the Time Domain currently had no Heavenly Court, Demon Court, or Earthly Buddha Kingdom.

With no Immortal Emperor appearing, relying solely on the Three Great Alliances and the scattered Small Worlds and sects, there was almost no chance of victory.

Therefore, the North King Time Domain itself would also, in the dark, push the indescribable Dao of fortune, attempting to quickly bring forth an Emperor to lead the ten thousand cultivating races of this world.

And so.

One week after returning from the Buddha Realm.

Su Ping released Chiyuan Xianren to the Xuanling World.

The appearance of Chiyuan Xianren immediately attracted the attention of the Cultivators of the Three Great Alliances in the Xuanling World.

And they recognized at a glance that this was the mysterious female Cultivator who had obtained an Innate Supreme Treasure that voluntarily acknowledged her as its master!

"I should have thought of it earlier; she is also a person of this Salvation Lineage!"

"Only such a Mysterious Force could shield us from all kinds of searching divine abilities."

"It's just that, now that she is no longer hiding, could it be..."

While many Cultivators of the Three Great Alliances were still guessing.

Chiyuan Xianren, who had returned to the North King Time Domain and felt as if she had returned home.

Was just planning to take a good look at this world.

When she immediately felt something in her heart and had to fly out of the Xuanling World, arriving near the Space-Time Torrent.

And then... although many Cultivators had long been mentally prepared.

Seeing the white light of the Space-Time Torrent flicker, and then an ownerless Innate Supreme Treasure appear and voluntarily fly to the side of that female Cultivator.

Still caused the state of mind of many Cultivators to shatter on the spot.

Especially many geniuses who had fought and killed their whole lives without ever having a single Innate Supreme Treasure acknowledge them.

Yet now they discovered that the female Cultivator, who had not even made a name for herself, just stayed where she was, and a pile of Innate Supreme Treasures voluntarily delivered themselves to her to be picked.

This difference, this gap... who could still say they wouldn't be envious, jealous, and hateful?

"This female Cultivator is clearly only at the Dao Integration stage, how could she be so favored by Innate Supreme Treasures?"

"An Emperor, is this the Emperor of this generation chosen by the North King Time Domain in the dark?"

"Is it because Chaos is about to invade on a full scale? Making the North King Time Domain so anxious, and also causing the other candidates to directly lose their eligibility?"

Duomu Buddha Venerable heard the news and saw it the first moment he arrived; he saw an ownerless Buddha artifact left by the previous Buddha Emperor, an Innate Bone Pagoda, hovering beside Chiyuan Xianren, flashing with Buddha light as it tried to please her.

His body shook, and after suppressing the greed to snatch it, he slightly perceived the path ahead that was being guided by this female Cultivator.
