Chapter 462

The power of all living beings is infinite; even an Immortal King must rely on the power of all living beings to stabilize his Primordial Spirit; the collective push of all worlds can shape a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and even an Immortal Emperor must rely on the thoughts of all living beings to return.

If you keep thinking about it, there will be an echo; even the weakest living being can settle accounts with a Venerable.

The mortals who seem to be trampled at will possess huge potential; in fact, they lack a leader; if one person can guide everyone to be of one mind, the most brilliant radiance in the human realm will erupt.

When two Venerables are evenly matched, the faith of all living beings is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, becoming an important force that tilts the balance.

The carrier chosen by the Heavenly Court is the Great Accomplishment Holy Body!

The Heavenly Court preaches the faith of the emperors, but mainly worships three: the Taiyin Human Emperor, the Taiyang Holy Emperor, and the Great Accomplishment Holy Body.

Dead emperors need the power of faith more than living emperors to continue their existence.

Moreover, the two human emperors have been famous for ages, and it is easy to promote them within the human race; they can be accepted by most of the people; compared to worshiping gods with unknown achievements, sacrificing to the two human emperors is a matter of course and there will be no sense of resistance.

As for the Great Accomplishment Holy Body, besides the nine generations appearing in succession, almost monopolizing the Desolate Ancient years, and having influence comparable to the Huang Tiandi in the hearts of all living beings, the most important point is that the current master of the Heavenly Court is a Holy Body.

One can bind the Holy Body faith and the Heavenly Court faith of the Ye Di Zun myth together to form a kind of divine age.

When the dark turmoil comes and all living beings are in danger, a familiar Great Accomplishment Holy Body descends, and the Huang Tiandi worshiped by all races comes to save all living beings and save the great universe; what kind of fanatical faith would that erupt into?

"The greater the hardship, the firmer the faith."

Lin Xian said meaningfully: "If you don't grasp the only light in life, then only endless darkness and pain remain."

"In the face of cruel reality, all living beings will deceive themselves so as not to be too desperate."

Every time the dark turmoil descends, it is an eruption of a faith tide; in the face of life-and-death crises, countless people will become devout believers.

"All living beings suffer; this is not the right path."

Shakyamuni sighed: "Eventually, there will be a backlash."

"Drinking poison to quench thirst, I can't care about much else." Lin Xian said helplessly: "There are several seniors in this life, and it is no problem to protect the life ancient stars of the Heavenly Court, but what about other star domains, or the starry sky ancient road, and many small worlds? It is destined to be a sea of corpses and blood."

"If you don't even have your life, what future do you want? Let all living beings suffer a bit more, and the Huang Tiandi will bear the infamy."

"The Heavenly Court is turning from defense to offense." Shakyamuni was thoughtful; initially, Lin Xian's requirements for establishing the Heavenly Court were very low, very low, hoping that the Emperor Array of the Primordial Ancient Star could protect a group of people during the dark turmoil.

And now, he seeks to save the great universe and slaughter the Venerables in the dark years.

"The senior is already holding the Lingbao Killing Sword." Lin Xian laughed: "Are you not prepared to break a killing precept?"

"A monk is compassionate; one should save all living beings, and the Venerables are also among the living beings."

Shakyamuni's expression was calm, speaking of some terrible fact, and the Lingbao Killing Sword in his hand restrained its edge.

Converting a Venerable is much harder than killing one; since the myth, the Xiaoyao Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun has tried several times to seize the body of an enlightened one, and only succeeded once.

The self-slashing Venerables are former enlightened ones who would rather die than give up their former pride; this is simply a fantasy.

"Even if the Heaven-Swallowing Empress created the God-Converting Technique, she never succeeded."

Lin Xian's eyes were solemn: "Has the Amitabha Buddha Emperor gone so far on this path?"

"Kong Que."

Shakyamuni said indifferently, mentioning the Kong Que Venerable of the Undying Mountain, who was converted by the Amitabha Buddha Emperor in the past; later, Amitabha passed away, and she returned to the Undying Mountain because the Buddhist sect had no means to restrain the Venerables.

But if the Amitabha Buddha Emperor returns, will the Kong Que Venerable convert to the Buddhist sect again?

This is also one of the bases for judging that samsara is true and the Emperor has returned.

"If the Kong Que Venerable can convert, then the Undying Mountain will be left with only one lonely person, and the Heavenly Court has hope of leveling a life forbidden area before the path to immortality opens."

Lin Xian's eyes lit up; there are seven Venerables who will launch the dark turmoil during the first path to immortality: Changsheng Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun, Lord of Samsara, Light and Dark Venerable, Lord of God Ruins, Shi Huang, Qitian Venerable, and Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body.

The Changsheng Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun has the Great Accomplishment Holy Body of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Area to deal with, and the Great Accomplishment Tyrant Body is not a true ancient emperor and can be suppressed with Emperor weapons.

If the Shi Huang can be removed in advance, the pressure of the dark turmoil will drop significantly, and one only needs to deal with four Venerables.

"Pulling one hair affects the whole body; killing a Venerable is possible, but leveling a forbidden area is very difficult."

Shakyamuni shook his head, not optimistic about this behavior; slaughtering Venerables in the dark years belongs to the unspoken rules of the great universe.

The Venerables eat all living beings, but do not allow all living beings to resist; there is no such reason.

In the past years, only the emperor's children performed blood sacrifices to drag the Venerables to death; at that time, the Venerables were not as skilled as others, and the life forbidden areas would not have much reaction; there were grudges within them.

But if one really wants to forcefully eradicate a life forbidden area, it will inevitably trigger the emotion of 'the rabbit dies and the fox grieves', making other Venerables take action, and even the Qilin Emperor, Golden Ancient Emperor, and others who originally cooperated with the Heavenly Court will change their stance.

"It's just killing the Shi Huang; the Undying Mountain still exists."

Lin Xian smiled slightly; he had a tacit understanding with the Xuanwu Emperor, and if the support of the Kong Que Emperor was added, then it should be the Shi Huang who rolls out of the Undying Mountain; two against one, he is the master of the Undying Mountain.

Shakyamuni was stunned, and after a long time, he asked slowly: "Is the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor reliable?"

"He is dying; even if the lives of the entire universe were given to the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor to swallow, it would be of no avail."

Lin Xian said: "The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor does not pursue the Immortal Dao, but the Human Dao; he values his children and grandchildren and has some humanity, which determines that he and the Shi Huang are not on the same path."

"The Xuanwu Ancient Emperor, he stands on the side of the winner."

As long as the Heavenly Court shows the strength to crush the Undying Mountain, the Xuanwu Ancient Emperor will choose neutrality.

So-called neutrality, in the eyes of the Shi Huang of the Undying Mountain, is a kind of betrayal.

"If it can really be like this, it is truly the blessing of all living beings."

"The Heavenly Court should shake the myriad worlds."

Shakyamuni sighed; the Undying Mountain is the greatest root of chaos in the great universe; if it can be pacified in this life, it is undoubtedly a great achievement, destined to go down in history.

"It is not the achievement of one life, but the result of the efforts of sages through the ages; in the Desolate Ancient years, almost every human emperor would take away a dark Venerable; the Void Emperor was the most special, relying on his own strength to destroy three or four Undying Mountain Venerables, and later the Emperor Wu Shi Emperor suppressed the Undying Daoist, making the prosperous Undying Mountain weak, leaving only two or three Venerables."

Lin Xian sighed: "This is just a matter of course; emperors through the ages have contributed, and the Heavenly Court is just lying down to win."

In the peak state of the forbidden area, there were seven or eight Venerables huddled together, and as many as a dozen Venerables rooted, making the emperors powerless and making the Heavenly Emperors wary.

Now the Heavenly Court only needs to consider dealing with one Shi Huang, which is countless times easier.

"When the other fellow Daoists retrieve the array map, we can start acting."

Shakyamuni pondered for a moment and paused: "Cut the Gordian knot; there is only one such opportunity, and there will not be a second; after seeing the Zhuxian Sword Array, the forbidden area Venerables will inevitably increase their vigilance and will not give us such an opportunity."

"Other forbidden areas naturally will not have such an opportunity, but the Underworld forbidden area is like the Undying Mountain, left with only one person."

Lin Xian whispered: "The Yama Emperor passed away, the Changsheng Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun flew into the Immortal Tomb, the Corpse Emperor fled into the Taichu Ancient Mine, and the Source God and Source Ghost disappeared with the Heaven-Reaching Underworld Treasure; this life is the weakest moment for the Underworld."

"Pacifying two forbidden areas in one day is the real 'beating the grass to scare the snake', which can bring more time for the Heavenly Court."

As long as time is given to the Heavenly Court to let the Ten Princes grow up, the Samsara Sea, Taichu Ancient Mine, and everything else can be pushed horizontally.

"Is the Underworld left with only one Venerable?"

Shakyamuni's eyes condensed, he chanted a Buddha name, and said suspiciously: "This is one of the oldest forbidden areas."

If this is the case, then on the day the four Zhuxian swords are combined, the Underworld should be destroyed first; this forbidden area is not in Beidou and will not cause too many variables.

And compared to the resources of the Undying Mountain, the resources of the Underworld forbidden area are what the Buddhist sect lacks; they are all fellow Daoists studying samsara, and peers are enemies.

The Buddhist sect has wanted to enter the Underworld for more than a day or two.

Various myths and legends in the great universe all indicate that the Buddha lineage wants to touch the path of samsara.

"The news is reliable; I have a friend named Underworld Emperor..."

Lin Xian grinned, pushing all the reasons onto Duan De, saying that this dead fatty's Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Art is about to be perfected, and he has already awakened quite a few memories of the past.

"The Undying Mountain must be leveled, and the Underworld must be cleared; the road is long and the burden is heavy..."

Shakyamuni pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up: "No time to lose; why doesn't the Future Buddha take a few Emperor weapons and go with this old monk to the Amitabha Ancient Star Domain to invite that Nirvana Dao fruit to Mount Sumeru."

"The Golden-Winged Great Peng who guards the Nirvana Dao fruit is no small matter; he is now mostly at the Quasi-Emperor cultivation level."

"The first battle is the decisive battle; one battle settles the universe; if we can destroy two major life forbidden areas, such an opportunity must not be missed; the foundation of the Heavenly Court needs to be stronger."

The word 'invite' is used really well; if this Nirvana Dao fruit really wanted to go with Shakyamuni, it would have acted thousands of years ago.

Now it seems that it is not about being forced to wear a yellow robe, but forcibly pushing out a World Honored One.

"The Amitabha Ancient Star Domain must be visited, and Mount Sumeru must naturally be visited, but before that, we must go to the starry sky ancient road, the Eternal Ancient Star."

Lin Xian said slowly: "The Heavenly Court is preparing to welcome back an old friend."

"Old friend?"

Shakyamuni was a little puzzled: "Is there more than one God General under the Qing Emperor besides fellow Daoist Gai?"

"It is the First God General under the Ye Di Zun."

Lin Xian's expression was solemn: "The First God General of the Ancient Heavenly Court — Chuan Ying!"

Deep in the starry sky ancient road, on a silent star in the great universe, a teenager wearing animal skin clothes was carrying a hard bow, holding a stone stick in his hand, wandering aimlessly on the ancient star, hunting wild beasts for lunch, when he suddenly shivered, as if he had been stared at by something dirty.

"Who?"

"It is impossible for an accident to happen at my realm; it must be a whim."

A complex expression appeared on the teenager's baby-fat face; his true name had been buried in time since the end of the myth; even those who knew his origin would only respect him as Lord First God General.

Such a true name being touched is definitely not something an ordinary person can know; it must be mentioned by someone closely related to the Heavenly Court for such a fluctuation to appear.

"Could it be the God Organization, or the descendants of the Feathered God Dynasty..."

Chuan Ying narrowed his eyes, tore open the cosmic void, crossed one star domain after another, and marched toward a piece of pure land of the God Organization.

"Chuan Ying... it's him, the First God General of the Ancient Heavenly Court; he is actually still alive."

Shakyamuni was a little surprised; as a Quasi-Emperor, he read ancient history, naturally understood the pattern at the end of the myth, and knew that the Ancient Heavenly Court had a First God General who was valued by the Ye Di Zun, whose aptitude was absolutely extraordinary, and who could absolutely become an Emperor in other eras.

Just like Gai Jiuyou, the First God General under the Qing Emperor, who was stunningly talented.

"Back then, the Prison-Suppressing Emperor attacked the Ye Di Zun with the Underworld Emperor's magic weapon and was mistaken for the Underworld Emperor by the First God General, so Chuan Ying is extremely hostile to the Underworld."

"This is our natural ally."

Lin Xian smiled slightly, very confidently: "Just need this Saint Master to go out, a few words, and I will teach the First God General to return to the Heavenly Court."

"Those who have attained the Dao in other ways are arrogant and will not easily submit to the Heavenly Court."

Shakyamuni pondered: "Should we wait for fellow Daoist Gai Jiuyou to return?"

"The weight of the Heavenly Court is not enough, but what if an Ye Di Zun reincarnation is added?" Lin Xian prepared to take Ye Fan along.

"An Ye Di Zun who has not become an Emperor is hard to be convincing." Shakyamuni felt that they would mostly have to take action; this is the atmosphere of the great universe—fight first when meeting, and distinguish the high and low.

What if Chuan Ying thinks they have corrupted the Ye Di Zun and are holding the Ye Di Zun to command the God General? What if they start fighting directly to compete for the initiative?

Although holding the Ye Di Zun to command the God General is a fact, it is a fact that the Heavenly Court must try to avoid.

Lies can be told, but the truth cannot be spoken casually.

"Then how about adding this?"

Lin Xian beckoned toward Mount Kunlun, and a broken green small tripod suddenly appeared in his hand, with various patterns carved all over its body, including divine patterns of birds, beasts, fish, insects, sun, moon, and stars, flowing with a vast and ancient atmosphere, as if one could hear the sacrificial sounds of ancient ancestors.

"Immortal-Becoming Tripod!"

Shakyamuni finally couldn't sit still, and two divine lights burst from his eyes; this immortal artifact was in Mount Kunlun; back then, even if he and Li Er became Quasi-Emperors, they couldn't enter and take it out.

At this moment, it fell into Lin Xian's hands, into the hands of the Heavenly Court.

The Ye Di Zun reincarnation plus the Immortal-Becoming Tripod—such significance is too great; even the most cunning First God General would be confused.

"The Future Buddha is a reincarnation of a certain Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun at the end of the myth..."

Shakyamuni took a deep breath and asked very seriously: "The ancient Heavenly Court emperors stood together; does the fellow Daoist have a share?"

"Good, good; this poor monk is a grassroots cultivator with no background."

Lin Xian said without changing his expression: "Buddha, you are overthinking; I am just a humble public tool of the Heavenly Court, holding the results of your careful consideration."
