Chapter 386: Wen Dao Ren Devours the Golden Lotus

Heh heh, sacrificing the entire Western World's foundation to help you ascend to heaven—you really are good at scheming!

Ao Yifan coldly snorted.

After saying that, Ao Yifan raised his head to look at the sky and said, "Senior, you also saw that these Two Sages cannot become great vessels; today I will help them ascend to heaven, fill the Western World's foundation, and make up for the karma you owed back then—how about it?"

Hearing Ao Yifan's words, Jieyin Dao Ren and Zhunti Dao Ren's faces all changed, and they both looked up at the heavens.

"Good!"

Finally, a grand voice as if coming from beyond the heavens transmitted.

Upon hearing this voice, Jieyin Dao Ren and Zhunti Dao Ren's faces showed fear.

They finally remembered that no matter what they did, there was still a Great Lord existing above their heads.

And Ao Yifan's words just now were clearly guiding that Great Lord's dissatisfaction toward them.

"Great Lord, you cannot abandon us!"

Zhunti Dao Ren exclaimed in shock.

"Heh heh, both of you, the situation is now clear; your actions have already provoked that Great Lord's displeasure toward you."

Ao Yifan laughed and said, "Moreover, it's obvious that the Great Lord also thinks it would be more convenient to directly use you two to fill the Western World's foundation rather than let you two scheming fellows slowly repair the Western World's earth veins."

In an instant, the Two Sages of the West's faces instantly turned grim.

They clearly understood that saying more now would be of no avail.

"However, the Great Lord merely agreed to your method, but do you really think that you alone can defeat us Two Sages?"

Jieyin Dao Ren and Zhunti Dao Ren said.

"Heh heh, who said I'm just one person?"

Ao Yifan laughed and said.

As Ao Yifan's words fell, a figure appeared beside him.

"Two senior brothers, you are obsessed with appearances; now, ascending early to Ultimate Bliss is your best refuge!"

"Puti!"

Jieyin Dao Ren and Zhunti Dao Ren said in unison: "How could you be here? We clearly..."

"You clearly exiled my Square Inch Mountain, didn't you?"

Puti Laozi shook his head and said, "That's why I say you are obsessed with appearances, your eyes have been covered by calamity qi, and you cannot see the truth."

"Damn it, Puti, you think you can really stand on equal footing with us?"

As Jieyin Dao Ren's words fell, his merit halo behind him began to rotate.

In an instant, golden light behind him transformed into a pure land, and upon that pure land countless Buddhas appeared and disappeared intermittently.

"This is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the resting place of generations of sages of the Western Teaching; as long as this pure land is relied upon, this sage is an immortal existence!"

Jieyin Dao Ren said.

"Finally, it has arrived!"

Watching this scene, Ao Yifan's face showed a hint of a smile.

At the same time, within the Western Pure Land, Wen Dao Ren suddenly burst out from among countless cultivators and rushed straight toward the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus.

Watching this scene, countless cultivators shook their heads and sighed.

Just because, in order to stop the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus from absorbing the Western World's foundation earlier, they had already died in succession, too many to count.

However, without exception, these cultivators all crashed to their deaths upon the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus, instead becoming nutrients for its growth.

Therefore, in the eyes of all cultivators, even this newly appointed Protector of the Teaching Dharma King could not change the outcome.

"No, she did not suffer a backlash from the Golden Lotus!"

Finally, someone noticed something was wrong.

That is, the Golden Lotus Merit Holy Light that should have actively blocked the invader did not appear.

It seemed as if fate had decreed it; Wen Dao Ren approached the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus without the slightest hindrance.

"Delicious!"

The next moment, Wen Dao Ren hesitated not at all and bit down hard on the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus.

Trumpet!

With a crisp sound, the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus shattered directly.

A large amount of merit qi flow began to dissipate, directly swallowed into Wen Dao Ren's belly.

"The taste is superb; my husband really didn't deceive me!"

Wen Dao Ren's face showed an expression of enjoyment.

At first, upon hearing Ao Yifan let her devour the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus, she still had hesitation.

After all, the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus is the supreme treasure that suppresses the qi flow of the entire Western Teaching; how could she possibly shake it?

However, after actually taking action, Wen Dao Ren discovered that things went even more smoothly than she had imagined.

Since there were no more worries, Wen Dao Ren immediately began to feast heartily.

At the same time, Jieyin Dao Ren, who was confronting Ao Yifan and Puti Laozi, seemed to have sensed something.

He raised his head and glanced at the illusory image of the Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus above his head, and was immediately startled.

"How could this be, my lotus petals?"

Jieyin Dao Ren felt completely unwell.

Because the originally radiant Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus had now become extremely deficient, even several lotus petals had outright vanished.

"This, senior brother, what on earth is going on?"

Zhunti Dao Ren also began to panic.

The Twelve-Petal Golden Lotus suffered damage, and the blessings they had received also began to quickly drain away.

Wait, let me see what exactly happened!

Saying that, Daoist Jieyin tried to make contact with the true form of the Twelve‑Grade Golden Lotus.

But soon his expression turned extremely ugly, for he had actually lost contact with the Twelve‑Grade Golden Lotus.

No, it's not that contact with the Twelve‑Grade Golden Lotus was lost; rather, some power has severed the entire Western Paradise from the Three Realms!

Saying that, Daoist Jieyin suddenly raised his head and looked toward Puti Laozi.

Puti, was this your doing!

In an instant, Daoist Jieyin realized that only Puti Laozi's Bodhi Marvelous Method could possibly sever the entire Western Paradise from the Three Realms!

His Spirit Terrace Fangcun Mountain is indeed the universe within the heart, transcending the Five Elements, not within the Three Realms!

Puti, do you really want endless enmity with the two of us!

Daoist Jieyin's eyes were blood‑red; a sage, actually driven to this point!

Alas——

He let out a long sigh, Puti Laozi shook his head and said, "I've already said it—I came today only to send my two senior brothers off to the Western Paradise early!"

$￥#&@……

What Daoist Zhunti said was, however, blocked by some unseen force.

He must have been swearing filthily—even the Heavenly Dao couldn't bear to listen, after all, he is a sage; swearing so foully damages the sage's image.

The Twelve‑Grade Golden Lotus was damaged, and vast amounts of merit and fortune began to drain away.

Immediately afterward, everyone saw that behind Daoist Jieyin, in the Western Paradise Pure Land, the silhouettes of the ancient sages began to tremble.

Indeed, letting the Western Teaching's foundation suffer damage, my two senior brothers have already been forsaken by countless ancient sages—your doom has arrived!

Puti Laozi sighed.

In fact, although he disliked some of the practices of the Two Sages of the West, he still felt a bit regretful that countless ancient sages had forsaken them.

No, we haven't lost yet!

At this moment, Daoist Jieyin's face was full of ferocity as he turned his head to look at Daoist Zhunti beside him.
