Chapter 442

After spending some effort to suppress the shock and incredulity in his heart, the Saint Tongtian's gaze toward Luo Fu was filled with admiration and envy.

The admiration was for Luo Fu's natural talent.

Compared to the Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World, the Saint Tongtian of the Journey to the West world had cultivated for a longer time and had a deeper understanding of the hardships of comprehending the Great Dao.

Even after cultivating for countless epochs, the Saint Tongtian had still not touched upon the Hunyuan realm.

Yet Luo Fu, in the Primordial World, was actually able to open up reincarnation on his own and, by borrowing the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, crush the Saint Zhunti within the Primordial World.

Such a terrifying combat record was enough to show that even if Luo Fu had not become a Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal, he had already touched upon the Hunyuan realm.

That was the Hunyuan realm, which even the current Saint Tongtian had not fully touched upon.

In terms of cultivation time, Luo Fu did not even have a fraction of his, and his foundation was merely an innate human.

With the body of an innate human, touching upon the Hunyuan realm in such a short time—

Luo Fu's natural talent was absolutely terrifying.

Even with the Saint Tongtian's knowledge, he could not help but admire him.

Such heaven-defying natural talent had never even been heard of in Pangu's memories.

And it was precisely because of this that the Saint Tongtian was incomparably envious—incomparably envious of the Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World.

With a disciple like Luo Fu, the Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World could definitely be considered to have a successor.

The Jie Sect would also inevitably flourish in the Primordial World, rather than meeting the fate of the Jie Sect in the Journey to the West world.

"The Saint Tongtian overpraises me; that I could achieve this is thanks to my master's cultivation. If it were not for my master's cultivation and some fortuitous encounters, I would still be an ordinary human today."

Luo Fu said extremely humbly, his tone very sincere.

Toward the Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World, Luo Fu felt respect from the bottom of his heart and truly regarded him as his master.

The Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World was indeed very good to Luo Fu, treating him almost like his own son.

As for the fortuitous encounters Luo Fu mentioned later, that was also the truth.

His cheat could also be considered a fortuitous encounter.

"Cultivation? Although the worlds are different, I still understand myself; this strength of yours relies almost entirely on yourself. After all, I am not proficient in the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Earth."

The Saint Tongtian still had self-awareness; this strength of Luo Fu's was clearly not something the Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World could have cultivated.

However, he was still very satisfied with Luo Fu's respect for the Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World.

After all, the Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World could also be considered another him.

Luo Fu's respect for the Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World was respect for him.

Having a disciple like Luo Fu, who was powerful and respectful to him, the Saint Tongtian also felt a sense of honor.

"How did you come to this world? What is your purpose in coming to this world? Could it be for the sake of the Journey to the West?"

After sighing with emotion, the Saint Tongtian directly asked the question that had been puzzling him.

Luo Fu was the disciple of the Saint Tongtian of the Primordial World, so he could also be seen as his disciple; since they were on the same side, there was no need to be too polite.

"I came to the Journey to the West world through a certain object; you can understand it as a means left behind by a certain supreme existence."

The Myriad Worlds Chat Group was one of Luo Fu's biggest secrets; even if it were his true master, he could not just talk about it casually.

After all, the Myriad Worlds Chat Group, which could travel through the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, clearly involved extremely terrifying secrets.

Apart from the group members, the fewer people who knew about the Myriad Worlds Chat Group, the better.

Therefore, Luo Fu used the means of a supreme existence to replace the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.

To a certain extent, this could not be considered lying.

The Myriad Worlds Chat Group was indeed an existence above the supreme.

"A supreme existence?"

Hearing Luo Fu's words, the Saint Tongtian nodded, whispered softly, and did not continue to pursue the matter.

He did not know what the supreme existence Luo Fu spoke of meant.

Since even Luo Fu, who could travel through the myriad worlds, called such an existence supreme,

it stood to reason that such an existence must be far beyond him, a Saint, and even beyond the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao.

For such an existence, it was best for his current realm not to know.

Therefore, the Saint Tongtian did not blame Luo Fu for hiding it.

"I came to the Journey to the West world indeed for the sake of the Journey to the West. Because of certain reasons, I must reverse this Journey to the West Great Calamity."

Seeing that the Saint Tongtian did not pursue the matter, Luo Fu also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to speak about his purpose in coming to the West.

"Reversing the Great Calamity—this is not something that can be done simply. Your bet with Buddhism, even if you win, I fear it cannot be counted as reversing the Great Calamity."

Hearing that Luo Fu actually wanted to reverse the Great Calamity with the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls, the Saint Tongtian's brows could not help but wrinkle slightly.

In the Journey to the West world, if one were to ask who knew most about reversing the Great Calamity, it would certainly be the Saint Tongtian.

In the Investiture of the Gods war, in order to protect the Jie Sect and reverse the outcome of the Great Calamity, the Saint Tongtian even set up the Immortal-Slaying Sword Array, intending to transform the entire Primordial World back into earth, fire, water, and wind.

But the final result was that he failed and was directly confined in the Zixiao Palace by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

It was precisely because he had tried it once that the Saint Tongtian knew how difficult it was to reverse the Great Calamity.

The so-called bet between Luo Fu and Buddhism was still far from reversing the Great Calamity.

"I am very clear about this point."

Luo Fu nodded; he certainly knew that even if he won the bet, it could not be counted as reversing the Great Calamity.

Because if the bet proceeded smoothly, it meant that the Journey to the West would proceed smoothly, and regardless of the final result, Buddhist teachings would spread to the East.

The only difference would be that the fortune Buddhism gained might not be as much.

Making it a great flourishing in the East turn into a small flourishing in the East.

But whether it was a great flourishing or a small flourishing, as long as the Journey to the West proceeded smoothly, this era would inevitably be the era of Buddhism.

How could such a result be called reversing the Great Calamity?

Reversing meant changing it completely.

The so-called snatching of scriptures was just a smokescreen for Luo Fu.

"This bet is just a smokescreen I set up. To blind the vision of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and force Zhunti and Jieyin to take the initiative to act against me."

Luo Fu did not hide it and directly stated his intentions.

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun? It seems you know quite a bit about the secrets of the Primordial World."

Hearing Luo Fu mention the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Saint Tongtian could not help but look at Luo Fu.

However, he did not feel it was strange; Luo Fu could even travel through the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, so knowing a few secrets of the Primordial World was nothing.

"I also only saw through the essence of the Great Calamity after being confined in the Zixiao Palace for these years. The so-called Great Calamity is actually the will of the Dao Ancestor."

Speaking of this, the Saint Tongtian could not help but feel emotional.

If he had seen through this, he would never have recklessly tried to reverse the Investiture of the Gods Great Calamity, leading to himself being confined in the Zixiao Palace and the Jie Sect falling apart directly.

It was precisely because he had seen through the essence of the Great Calamity that he had just said that wanting to reverse the Great Calamity was not a simple matter.

Even if Luo Fu could suppress the Saints and had his help, it would still be very difficult to completely reverse the Great Calamity.

Because the person they truly needed to face was the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"I am very clear about this point. I have already prepared a trump card for the Dao Ancestor Hongjun; I have completed the Earth Dao of the Journey to the West world and have obtained the recognition of Humanity, and I can condense the power of Humanity at any time."

"By gathering the power of the Earth Dao and Humanity to jointly resist the Heavenly Dao, as long as we can suppress the Heavenly Dao, we can force back the Dao Ancestor Hongjun."

The indifferent words sounded in the Saint Tongtian's mind; although Luo Fu's tone was extremely indifferent, to the Saint Tongtian, it was full of confidence.

And Luo Fu's entire plan also caused the Saint Tongtian's mind to shake violently.

He did not expect that Luo Fu actually had the means to deal with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and had already prepared it almost completely.

By uniting the Earth Dao with Humanity to jointly suppress the Heavenly Dao—if Luo Fu could truly do it, it would indeed be possible to force back the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The most terrifying thing about the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was that he controlled the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.

Resisting the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was resisting the entire Primordial World.

If the Heavenly Dao were suppressed, without the support of the Heavenly Dao, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun would no longer be the invincible Dao Ancestor.
