Chapter 749: Great Luo Expansion

Wuu~

Buddha-light like an ocean, vast and boundless.

When Zhao Zhao Xuanyuan Bodhisattva's divine sense reached the Great Yellow Heaven, a majestic will rose up; instantly, in the depths of the Gui Xu, clouds and winds shifted, and all manner of strange phenomena arrived one after another.

The Divine Phoenix danced, the Celestial Dragon crossed the sky, celestial flowers floated over the world, and golden lotuses surged from the earth...

All these strange phenomena arose together with the sound of Zen.

Zhao Zhao Xuanyuan Bodhisattva paused outside the heavens, only then seeing that great mountain emerge from behind the Buddha-light as vast as an ocean; towering and immense, holy and majestic, yet carrying a flavor that spanned from ancient times to the present, unshakable for ten thousand ages.

Merely gazing from afar, it was as if one could feel incense-power like the sky itself, interwoven like mist, like water, like a tide, flowing over the holy mountain.

At the peak of the Buddha Mountain stood a Saraka tree large enough to block out the sun and moon; beneath it, an old monk in gray robes sat quietly upon a lotus throne.

"Om~"

As Zhao Zhao Xuanyuan Bodhisattva stepped up the mountain, clasped his hands, and bowed, streams of divine sense followed, some manifesting as Bodhisattva forms, others as great Vajra shapes.

"In days past, the Dao Lord invited us into the Great Luo Heaven to discuss the great matter of establishing a divine dynasty together..."

On the lotus throne, the old monk waved his hand, signaling everyone to take their seats, then recounted the past events and mentioned the Other Shore Golden List:

"On that day, this old monk took the two characters 'Other Shore' from the Primordial Buddha, while the Dao Lord's character 'Gold' remained unchanged; thus, this treasure is also called the Other Shore Golden List, signifying the Other Shore, the meaning of transcendence..."

As the old monk spoke, all the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajras, Gatekeepers, and Dharma Protectors bowed slightly to show respect.

"May I ask, Venerable Master, what mystery does this list hold that can point to the Other Shore and transcendence?"

Another Bodhisattva also spoke to inquire.

Zhao Zhao Xuanyuan Bodhisattva looked; that Bodhisattva manifested a Golden Body with three eyes and eighteen arms, wore celestial robes and ornaments, sat in the lotus position upon a seven-treasure lotus flower, surrounded by flames of light like clouds in the sky, with two attendants standing with hands hanging by their shoulders.

It was none other than the Fufeng Bodhisattva of Fufeng Temple.

"That is not easy to say."

The old monk instead offered a riddle, then turned his gaze toward the Great Luo Heaven; his Buddha-eyes lifted slightly, as if he could see a massive record covering all layers of the Gui Xu and reaching directly to the Present World:

"The Dao Lord's divine power has shone through; disciples, who will go first?"

"This disciple volunteers to go first."

Fufeng Bodhisattva clasped her hands and bowed slightly; after receiving the old monk's permission, the attendant on her left shoulder lightly flicked a Buddha-hook.

She merely lifted it slightly, and from somewhere in the Gui Xu, far beyond measure, a towering Buddha Mountain emitted ten thousand acres of golden light, illuminating the Gui Xu.

Upon it, thousands of Daoist figures leaped together, vanishing into the void, into that massive record.

"Hmm?"

The old monk's Buddha-eyes moved slightly, seeming somewhat surprised:

"Fufeng, your disciple has a very deep affinity with the Buddha."

Fufeng Bodhisattva was slightly stunned, then understood what the Lord of Heaven meant, and bowed slightly, saying:

"That disciple hails from the Zi Wei Fa Jie realm; her common name is Xu Xu Xunyi. She indeed has a Buddha-affinity; not long after entering the sect, she encountered such a great event as the Martial Display of the Shan Xuan Huang."

"The Zi Wei Fa Jie realm, is it?"

The old monk nodded slightly, then looked at the other Bodhisattvas and Arhats:

"If the heavens remain still, there is no harm in us competing."

"Excellent!"

All the Bodhisattvas and Arhats bowed together.

Immediately, each employed their divine powers; in various places of the Gui Xu, dazzling Buddha-light shone, and figures of people, whether astonished, wary, or hopeful, stepped into the Great Luo Record.

Before the Great Yellow Heaven moved, although the various Dimensional Heaven Dao Sects displayed divine light, no one moved; but once the Great Yellow Heaven moved, many Dimensional Heavens followed.

Instantly, in the Gui Xu, Daoist training grounds and immortal mountains emitted divine light and rosy clouds; countless Daoist sect disciples vanished into the void, the commotion so great it drew the attention of the Present World and the Gui Xu.

Countless people turned their heads to look.

"The Great Luo Record!"

In various places of the Gui Xu, sounds of exclamations and cold snorts seemed to arise.

"Hmm?"

In Mount Mount Dongxuan, Li Yuan also felt something, but it was not that he perceived the disturbance in the Gui Xu through Mount Mount Dongxuan; rather, Master Master Fufa had transmitted a message.

"The Martial Display has fully opened!"

Li Yuan's heart remained undisturbed.

When he first learned of the Martial Display of the Shan Xuan Huang Realm, his heart was filled with various warnings and suspicions, but now that the matter was before him, he was extremely calm; for nothing else, he had already pondered and deduced all possibilities, so naturally he would not panic.

After replying to Master Master Fufa, Li Yuan began to inventory the various items under his control; more accurately, the few he had just purchased from the Great Void Market.

Across the myriad heavens and realms, there were countless shops selling spiritual treasures; after careful selection, he truly managed to buy a few control items related to the Shan Xuan Huang Realm.

However...

【Crouching Dragon Subdues the Yellow Springs Map (Twelfth Tier)】

Gazing at the 'Yellow Springs Map' on the gray Dingxin Dingxin Shitai, which appeared almost identical to others, Li Yuan's expression was strange; this Yellow Springs Map was clearly a standardized spiritual treasure.

Previously, that eleventh-tier one was so broken that it only had two control effects: 【Yellow Springs Water Purifies the Body】 and 【Form of the Nether Dragon】.

But these three slightly damaged twelfth-tier Yellow Springs Maps added a fourteenth-tier control effect!

It was his first time seeing a twelfth-tier control item possess a fourteenth-tier control effect.

【Crouching Dragon Nether Concealment: The Nether Dragon naturally possesses the abilities of acting at will and hiding its form; Nether Water can wash away all kinds of qi-signatures...】

This was a buff for concealing form and hiding qi.

"Pity, there are no other control items."

Li Yuan felt regret in his heart.

Scriptures of Gong Fa and treasures from the foreign realms of the Gui Xu were not scarce across the various realms, but those originating from the nine realms of the Gui Xu were very rare, and most were incomplete.

Whether Gong Fa or spiritual treasures, it was as if once leaked, they would destroy themselves.
