Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

The golden lotus of merit that was originally nurtured in the Eight Treasures Merit Lotus Pond is no longer to be seen.

Even at the bottom of the lotus pond, only a shallow layer of merit water remained, with all the power nourishing the eighteen-petaled dreamlike golden lotus blooming in the center of the pond, which was radiating a mesmerizing and dreamlike glow.

It seems that during this period, although they have not made any major breakthroughs in the integration of the Great Dao.

But at least, Amitabha Buddha has re-cultivated the precious treasure of his enlightenment.

Indeed, among all those who have attained enlightenment, the poorest is none other than Amitabha Buddha before us, who possesses only two Chaos Treasures.

As Ying Zheng's gaze fell upon the dreamlike golden lotus, the eighteen-petaled dreamlike golden lotus slowly bloomed, revealing from the center of the flower the protagonist who had invited Ying Zheng to the sacred mountain of Buddhism—Amitabha Buddha.

At the same time, a figure emerged from the Bodhi tree; it was none other than the Cundi Buddha Mother, whose body was radiating the power of life, death, and extinction.

The Seven Treasures Tree in his hand contains the combined power of the three laws: the Dao of Nirvana, the Dao of Buddhism, and the Dao of Metal.

However, his aura and power were far less profound and vast than those of Amitabha Buddha, who specialized in the path of dreams.

After all, Amitabha Buddha has already perfected the art of dreams.

How could Cundi Buddha Mother compare to her? Cundi Buddha Mother's path of Nirvana is still at the minor stage of accomplishment, and her path of Gengjin has not yet been sublimated into the Dao.

As for Buddhism and Taoism, although they both reached great heights, it was the result of their joint mastery.

At this moment, Ying Zheng stared intently at the eighteen-petaled golden lotus of merit, his expression thoughtful.

It seems that the purpose of this invitation goes far beyond the Great Dao Fusion Mark left by Donghuang Taiyi.

Furthermore, it was to seek an opportunity for the future of this eighteen-petaled dreamlike golden lotus.

Unfortunately, Ying Zheng had already made up his mind that no matter what price they paid, he would not sacrifice himself for the benefit of others to help the dreamlike golden lotus evolve.

It should be noted that when Demon Ancestor Rahu pushed the Thirty-Sixth Grade Destruction Black Lotus to the perfect state, Ying Zheng intervened and used the power of the Primordial Purple Lotus to plunder a wisp of its origin and the perfect state.

This is precisely why Ying Zheng's thirty-six-petaled Primordial Purple Lotus was able to evolve; this is its fundamental reason.

However, this also resulted in the Thirty-Sixth Grade Destruction Black Lotus successfully sublimating, but ultimately leaving behind a flaw that was difficult to repair.

This slight flaw is something that even today, the Demon Ancestor Rahu probably hasn't been able to completely repair.

Even the Demon Ancestor Rahu couldn't fix it, so one can imagine the enormous price that would be required to repair this flaw.

Seeing Ying Zheng's calm and composed attitude, Amitabha Buddha knew perfectly well that Ying Zheng wanted him to make a statement first.

Amitabha Buddha showed no displeasure at this. He spoke in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Hongmeng, there are two matters we wish to discuss with you. First, my brother and I wish to comprehend the Great Dao Fusion Imprint left by Donghuang Taiyi within the Thirty-Sixth Grade Hongmeng Purple Lotus. What is your opinion?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng did not immediately respond. He remained silent.

Amitabha Buddha waved his hand, and a ball of primordial power, carefully refined by them, appeared before them.

This primordial energy may appear to be no bigger than a fist, but the energy it contains is enough to elevate a Chaos Spiritual Treasure to the level of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

It's easy to imagine the enormous price they paid to comprehend that mark. Even with the Bodhi Tree, a primordial root of chaos, endlessly absorbing and transforming the source of chaos.

It would take at least several hundred years to accumulate such a massive amount of primordial power.

Moreover, the Buddhist community is vast and powerful, with numerous Buddhas and Bodhisattvas under its wing who require resources to sustain their practice.

These primordial chaos sources were merely a drop in the ocean for them. Moreover, Cundi Buddha Mother couldn't possibly give up her cultivation, stop comprehending the Great Dao, and devote all her attention to absorbing the primordial chaos sources.

That would be putting the cart before the horse. This primordial energy before us represents almost half of the resources that Buddhism can currently offer.

Looking at the fist-sized primordial chaos, Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction.

If the goal is merely to comprehend the Great Dao imprint left by Donghuang Taiyi within the Thirty-Sixth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus, then the price is already quite high.

Therefore, Ying Zheng smiled kindly and said, "If that's all there is to it, then the price you two have paid is a bit too high!"

Hearing this, Cundi Buddha Mother breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Ying Zheng would make an exorbitant demand, since there was still one condition they had not yet mentioned.

"My brother and I hope to use the power of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus to suppress any potential backlash from the Great Dao, so we ask for your permission, fellow Daoist!" Amitabha Buddha added at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng fell into deep thought. If the assistance of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus was needed, this price was barely enough to meet his requirements: "Alright, I agree!"

Out of respect for the chaotic origin before him, Ying Zheng finally agreed, after all, even he was quite lacking in resources.

Although he had already nurtured the Thirty-Sixth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus to maturity, the Breaking Dao Spear was also a major consumer of resources.

In addition, they also needed to support Nuwa, so even with abundant resources, they were always stretched thin.

Then, Amitabha Buddha spoke with an extremely solemn expression: "Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk has another request. I hope that Fellow Daoist Hongmeng can obtain a trace of the perfect origin power of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Hongmeng Purple Lotus to make up for the lack of origin power of the Dream Golden Lotus!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He retorted without any politeness, "Amitabha, do you know what you're saying? If I were to grant you even a trace of your essence, the purple robe would no longer be perfect, leaving an irreparable flaw. Repairing this flaw would be incredibly difficult; even the Demon Ancestor Rahu is still struggling to fix that flaw. You make such a demanding request so readily, which is far too presumptuous!"

Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha had long anticipated Ying Zheng's change of attitude.

At this moment, Amitabha Buddha's expression revealed reluctance, yet he still spoke, "I am naturally aware of the price that must be paid. However, I will not let Fellow Daoist Hongmeng suffer any loss. Please take a look!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fragment no bigger than the palm of his hand appeared in Amitabha Buddha's hand. It shimmered with seven-colored glazed light and bore the imprint of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The moment this fragment appeared, a power containing transcendent meaning flowed within it.

Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng's expression changed drastically, and an incredulous light appeared in his eyes.

This is so similar to the Jade Disc of Creation that he saw at the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's place.

But isn't the Jade Disc of Creation already in a perfect state?

Why are fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation here?
This puzzled Ying Zheng greatly, as it wasn't the first time he had encountered the Jade Disc of Creation.

He could not possibly be mistaken about its unique markings and the fluctuations of the Pangu Dao. "Fragments of the Creation Jade Disc? How could you possibly possess such an item!" Ying Zheng calmly questioned at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Amitabha Buddha's eyes were filled with emotion: "This is a fragment of the Creation Jade Disc that I obtained by chance after it shattered when the Great God Pangu created the world. So I'm trading it with you now, fellow Daoist. You shouldn't be at a loss, right?"

Ying Zheng reached out and took the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc. Amitabha Buddha did not stop him; they were not worried that Ying Zheng would run away with the goods.

Ying Zheng carefully examined the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc, sensing the Pangu Dao formed by the fusion of the three thousand Daos within it, which carried a transcendent artistic conception. This was indeed an authentic artifact.

Then why is the Jade Disc of Creation in the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun in a perfect state? Could it be that he reforged it after he attained enlightenment?
If that's the case, then things get even more interesting.

Although he had not yet refined this fragment of the Creation Jade Disc, Ying Zheng could vaguely sense, after erasing the seal on it, that the fragment was conveying a sense of longing to the distance.

But the next moment, the flowing Buddha light sealed the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc once again.

At the same time, Amitabha Buddha looked apologetically at Ying Zheng and said, "If it is not sealed, Hongjun will sense it, and then it will be troublesome. Hongjun will take it back at any cost. Now, fellow Daoist, are you willing to trade?"

At this moment, gazing at the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation before him, Ying Zheng was also caught in a difficult choice.

Watching Ying Zheng's struggling expression, Amitabha Buddha felt reluctant, but he knew that his plan was about to succeed.

It's just unknown whether exchanging fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation for the Dreamy Golden Lotus, a treasure for attaining enlightenment, is a bad deal.

Although most of the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc were in the hands of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Amitabha Buddha has never refined this fragment of the Creation Jade Disc over the years, for fear that it would be sensed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and in the end, all his efforts would be in vain.

However, by using the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation to comprehend the Great Dao, he and the Cundi Buddha Mother were able to jointly establish the Buddhist Path, and in the end, they each walked out of the Path of Dreams and the Path of Nirvana.

The role of the Creation Jade Disc in this is self-evident. Now that they have no intention of changing their course, trading away this fragment of the Creation Jade Disc is a way of making the best use of it.

Ying Zheng also fell into deep thought. If he could refine it, could he use this fragment of the Creation Jade Disc to steal control of the Creation Jade Disc, or even use it to seize the Great Dao authority stolen by Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the others?
In this way, it will be much easier for him to reap the rewards.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng said with difficulty, "Zi Yi, take out a wisp of perfect origin and give it to Amitabha!"

Upon hearing this, the figure in purple flew out from Ying Zheng's sea of ​​consciousness, revealing its true form.

Without hesitation, she replied, "Yes, sir!"

Immediately, a wisp of the primordial power of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus flowed out from it, carrying a sense of perfection, encompassing all the primordial power she had devoured.

Upon seeing this trace of the origin, Amitabha Buddha's eyes revealed an irrepressible longing.

Although the primal power contained within is scarce, it is enough to gradually grow stronger under his slow nurturing.

As for Ziyi, after losing this trace of primordial power, she appeared unchanged on the surface.

However, the essence within Ziyi's body was indeed missing a trace, and it was ultimately no longer complete.

This directly caused Ying Zheng's Hongmeng Dao to tremble, almost causing it to fall from its perfect state.

In the end, Ying Zheng and Zi Yi joined forces to stabilize the situation, but this also weakened Zi Yi's power somewhat.

He could never return to his former peak, but in Ying Zheng's eyes, obtaining a fragment of the Creation Jade Disc was a worthwhile trade.

Moreover, he is currently comprehending the Great Dao of Destiny, aided by fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation.

He also gained greater confidence to push the Great Dao of Destiny to its ultimate limit before Yang Mei Ancestor could, and then sublimate it into the Dao.

It can be said that this was killing two birds with one stone, so Ying Zheng had no regrets whatsoever.

Both parties were satisfied with the deal and naturally had no intention of backing out.

Then, light shone from Ying Zheng's hand, and the Breaking Dao Spear materialized.

"Clang!"

All that could be heard was the ear-piercing sound of the Breaking Dao Spear, which then began to absorb the chaotic origin and strengthen itself.

This Broken Dao Spear was originally only at the level of a Chaos Treasure, and it contained fifty-five Chaos Restrictions.

After absorbing this chaotic origin, it can at least condense another chaotic restriction, at which time its power to break through the Dao will become even more terrifying.

At the same time, the purple-clad figure revealed its true form, displaying the Great Dao Fusion Imprint left by Donghuang Taiyi: "Fellow Daoists, please!"

Without the suppression of the purple-robed figure, one could vaguely see a three-legged golden crow dancing gracefully within the mark!

With each flap of its wings, the laws of the Primordial Dao and the Sun Dao danced and gradually merged together.

At the same time, Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha Mother were completely immersed in it, and began to comprehend this mark.

As time went by, the powers of the Dream Path and the Buddhist Path, the Great Way of Nirvana and the Buddhist Path flowed between them.

Their will is forcibly suppressing the fusion between the Dream Path and the Buddhist Path, and between the Great Dao of Nirvana and the Buddhist Path.

As time slowly passed, the faces of Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha Mother gradually turned pale.

This was the backlash from forcibly merging with the Great Dao. Although suppressed by the Thirty-Sixth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus, it still caused considerable impact and conflict on their origins.

However, they persisted because it was the quickest way to increase their strength, and they were unwilling to give it up.

After they tried it hundreds of millions of times, the power of the Dream Path and the Buddhist Path, the Great Dao of Nirvana and the Buddhist Path, suddenly showed a tendency to merge without anyone noticing.

Although this is only the beginning, it is enough to make Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha Mother feel extremely excited and joyful.

They were completely focused on maintaining this newly formed fusion power, carefully preserving the current state.

Meanwhile, witnessing their successful fusion, Ying Zheng's face showed a thoughtful expression: "How could they fuse so easily? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. This Great Dao Fusion Mark is ultimately just an auxiliary tool. What truly determines the success or failure of the fusion is their own cultivation and comprehension." (End of this chapter)
