Longevity: Beginning from the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 668 The Ultimate Battle: Unleashing the Calamity Qi
The conversation within the Jade Pool was known only to the Golden Mother, the Mysterious Maiden, and the Kunlun Mirror, but the commotion in the Nine Heavens Miro Great World was like a thunderbolt, directly stunning the minds of countless Dao Lords and Pure Yang beings throughout the myriad realms.

Although the struggle for Dao Integration among the top Dao Lords is not a common knowledge, the undercurrents between Youming, Xihuang, Miluo, and others over the past 100,000 years have long been noticed by the meticulous Pure Yang masters.

They initially thought it was just some minor disagreements or old grudges, and such people rarely directly confront each other or break off relations.

After all, with the Three Ancestors and Two Saints absent, these few Great Dao Lords are said to be the chess players of all the heavens and myriad worlds.

However, at this very moment when the Celestial Court's power is at its zenith and its dominion extends to many worlds, the Celestial Court's ruler has actually clashed directly with the incarnation of the Netherworld Dao Lord.
In the sacred ground of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, one of the most outstanding Bodhisattvas in the realm of expounding the Dharma in the Buddhist Pure Lands, the Bodhisattvas Puji Duxie and Wuliang Guangming Zunwang gathered here. Their expressions were full of sighs and amazement as they turned to look at the solemn monk sitting on the twelve-petaled seven-colored lotus flower beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

The Bodhisattva Akasagarbha's appearance was profound and unfathomable, his body radiating a golden light as clear as crystal, illuminating all directions. His five heads and thirty-six arms were majestic and solemn, concealing immeasurable profound truths of Bodhi.

Although its form is visible, it seems to be a spirit traveling to the other shore, transcending the sea of ​​suffering in the mortal world, forming its own hidden treasure in the void, and evolving the three thousand great paths of Mahayana Buddhism.

As the Great Emperor of Fengdu Beiyin personally arrived at the Celestial Court to display his power, even Puji and Du'e couldn't help but tremble with fear and secretly rejoice.

Fortunately, I left decisively, otherwise I would have suffered greatly if that person had "bumped into" me.

Although Puji Du'e intended to enter the Netherworld and divert its fortune, this was certainly not done while the Emperor of Fengdu was conscious.

Even just seeing Luo Tian Dao Jun's tragic end from afar is enough to show how ruthless the Fengdu Emperor is.

The Bodhisattva of Immeasurable Light is hailed as someone who has the potential to break through the barriers of heretical teachings. He believes that although he is not as good as the incarnation of the Great Dao Lord of Fengdu, he can still put up a fight.

Looking at it now, it seems best for the monk to return to the Pure Land and diligently recite scriptures.

"That's good...that's good..."

The Bodhisattva Akasagarbha could not hide his amazement and nodded repeatedly: "The cycle of heaven and earth and the collapse of the Great Dao are in fact in line with the ultimate truth of our Buddha. The Great Dao Lord is truly extraordinary."

After a long silence, the Bodhisattva Pujidu asked, "Uncle-Master, are you also powerless against the Emperor of Fengdu?"

As everyone knows, the Fengdu Emperor is merely an incarnation of the Netherworld Dao Lord and the Ziwei Emperor!

The Bodhisattva Akasagarbha saw the distress of the Bodhisattva who had saved Puji from suffering and went to speak frankly and openly: "Your great vow is difficult to fulfill. Originally, the netherworld is imperishable. There is absolutely no hope for your heretical path of expounding the Dharma."

The method of pursuing grand aspirations has always been like this: although one may gain some benefits in advance, it is easy to encounter an unpleasant situation if one is not careful.

Those whose path forward is blocked are considered lucky; some even suffer a backlash.

Seeing that Puji Du'e looked even more distressed, the Bodhisattva Akasagarbha changed the subject and said, "However, now that Zhou Zhengyan has opened up his meridians and diverted the Netherworld's fortune, we may be able to start from his newly opened Nine Netherworld."

The Bodhisattva of Boundless Light nodded in agreement, but also said, "Leaving aside whether the honeymoon period between the Lord of Salvation and the Xuanmen is still ongoing, we only need to consider whether the Netherworld fortune he occupies can support my junior brother in fulfilling his great wish."

Upon hearing this, Pujidu'e's eyes brightened slightly. Although there was still no clear solution, it was better than futilely trying to shake a tree and continuing to exert effort on that evil star in the underworld.

"Salvator Daoist Lord, Nine Netherworld..."

The Bodhisattva Akasagarbha smiled and nodded: "It is fortunate that the road ahead is not blocked."

"However, the Xuanmen has always been very thoughtful. They will certainly not ignore the effort they have put into supporting a Dao Lord of the Netherworld lineage. Puji, you should also prepare for the worst."

Puji Du'e nodded solemnly, naturally knowing that the path to enlightenment is always fraught with difficulties.

"In that case, I must congratulate the Lord of Salvation from Suffering."

"By the way, what about the future Buddha..."

The Bodhisattva Akasagarbha lowered his eyes and shook his head: "Senior brother roams freely through the myriad realms, traversing the sea of ​​suffering in the mortal world. He would naturally not concern himself with such mundane beings as us."

"Of course, he's probably keeping an eye on that side right now too."

The three Buddhist masters couldn't help but look at the celestial court in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, and couldn't help but mourn for Luo Tian Dao Jun and feel sorry for Mi Luo Dao Jun once again.

The Great Dao Lord of Mi Luo has lofty ambitions and astonishing methods. His main base, the Nine Heavens Mi Luo Great World, was created by referencing the "Heavens" of Dao Ancestor and Buddha, and was formed by sculpting countless innate essences and Dao treasures from chaos. Each of the "Nine Heavens" was a chaotic chicken egg used by the Great Dao Lord of Salvation to evolve the Nine Netherworlds!
Now, the Great Emperor of Fengdu is recklessly unleashing his power, pouring out the power of the Great Dao with the power of his own illusory Dao Fruit. This will undoubtedly cause the original abode of immortals and gods, the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, to decline, die, and return to eternal silence.

This kind of loss is irreversible unless a Great Dao Lord of the same level as the Emperor of Fengdu, who has condensed illusory Dao Fruits such as "Creation" and "Time," intervenes, and is also provided with a large number of treasures from the beginning of the universe.

In the myriad realms of the present day, there are Dao Lords who specialize in the Dao of Creation, and there are also Dao Lords who specialize in the Dao of Time, but there is not a trace of an Outer Dao Evolutionary Dao Lord who can harmonize the two paths and condense them into a "fruit".

The Bodhisattva Akasagarbha's thoughts raced: "The Great Dao Lord Jade Void must be watching me. Who was it that held back Mi Luo just now...?"

"Moreover, although Mi Luo is domineering and arrogant, what is he testing by impulsively clashing with Fengdu in his own home?"

"Could it be that he intends to lure out some clever fellow cultivators? But he has a chance to counterattack the newcomers?"

Within the void of the universe, those who are now likely to attain the Dao are basically those who existed since the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, and all have innate foundations, with the Dao Ancestor and Buddha being the main ones who personally transmitted the teachings.

In fact, if we were to discuss it in a more serious manner, it wouldn't be unreasonable to say that the "generations" of Mi Luo, Xi Huang, and Zi Wei are on par with the Dao Ancestor. Therefore, although they all practiced heterodox methods, their foundations are generally recognized as the most profound.

However, they are all top figures of the same level, so who would submit to whom, and who wouldn't want to align with the Dao?

The Bodhisattva Akasagarbha's seemingly open yet closed Dharma eye appears to pierce through the past and future, gazing into the void like a panoramic view of the river of time, seeking some revelation about the Great Dao Lord of the Void from the vast universe.

This incident will definitely affect the overall situation of all the heavens and myriad realms!

If given the opportunity, Bodhisattva Akasagarbha would not mind suppressing his competitors.

But they're all seasoned veterans; if they miscalculate, they might be the first to be eliminated.

"The three sects of Xuanmen are basically locked in this time. Even Qiong Du and the other two, who originally intended to support the Celestial Court, would not dare to show the slightest intention of turning their backs on them in the face of the 'Harmony with the Dao' plan. Otherwise, the Jade Void Great Dao Lord's Heaven-Turning Seal would not be spared..."

As the first disciples of Guangcheng Daozu, Yuqing Immortal Lord and Yuxu Great Dao Lord possessed cultivation and prestige that commanded the awe of everyone in the Xuanmen sect.

If it were merely a matter of fortune, status, and power, then no matter how much the Daoist Qiongdu and the Celestial Court interfered, it would only be minor squabbles.

Now that this clearly involves a fundamental plan, it's highly likely that Jin'ao Island has once again formed a united front.

As for the anger of Daoist Miro afterwards, Daoist Huoling will not be afraid.

Amidst a multitude of thoughts, Bodhisattva Akasagarbha could only try his best to see through the fog, discovering the crisis while attempting to find an opportunity.

Of course, he also made sure to contact the Buddha of the Future in the world to seek mutual assistance and cooperation in critical moments.

He believed that even the future Buddha, who was originally unwilling to get involved in the underworld, would be somewhat tempted after the supreme-level direct conflict broke out between Mi Luo and Feng Du!
Beyond the underworld.

With the help of the Taiji Diagram, Daoist Zixia clearly observed the situation of the Nine Heavens Miro Great World and keenly sensed the calamity and turmoil in the darkness.

Unable to contain his gloomy expression, he said to Lin Xuanzhi and the other two, "Nowadays, all kinds of causes and effects in the myriad realms are influencing the situation of the void universe through the major Dao Lords. With the return of the Fengdu Emperor, it is inevitable that the karmic calamity will be released ahead of schedule."

Having said that, the golden bridge across the other side of the Tai Chi diagram stretched out across the boundless universe, and Daoist Zixia and his disciples seemed to be "running away with buckets in hand".

After all, no one knows whether Lord Mi Luo will retaliate in kind later. They are just standing outside the Netherworld watching the show, and they might end up becoming part of the spectacle themselves.

Upon hearing the patriarch's words, Lin Xuanzhi's heart stirred: "If the calamity energy and karma are released ahead of schedule, does that mean the Crimson Bright Great Thousand World will be peaceful for a while as a result?"

Shaoqing Daoist explained on behalf of his master: "Of course! One of the reasons why the Great Dao Lord Mi Luo dared to decisively send people to reach out to Chi Ming was that he noticed that the Great Emperor of Fengdu was in an abnormal state. That's why he openly sent people into the Great Thousand World to put pressure on the Divine Dynasty, and also had the opportunity to secretly spy on the Golden List of Mountains and Rivers, attempting to obtain the decree of the Three Powers of God, Heaven, Earth and Man."

"Indeed!" Daoist Zixia smiled gently.

"Even if the Emperor of Fengdu has no deep affection for the Crimson Bright Divine Dynasty, he will definitely deal with the henchmen of the Celestial Court after this incident."

"After returning from Fengdu, my fellow Daoist and I achieved success in our cultivation, and the Taiji Diagram advanced to the level of the heretical Daoist practice. These events piled up together and also had some impact on the situation."

"However, the most important thing is the present..."

Amidst the rolling of the thirty-three layers of magnificent auspicious clouds, the power of 9,999,999 years of cultivation awes the three thousand worlds in the void. A "Dao Fruit" is illusory and uncertain, resonating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, as if it might "refine the void and unite with the Dao" at any moment.

With a "resentful act," the Great Dao Lord Mi Luo lived up to his reputation, forcing the Great Emperor of Fengdu to retreat without much effort, and completely leaving the Nine Heavens Mi Luo Great World.

"Summon Ziwei! How dare a mere avatar contend with this Emperor!"

The Emperor of Fengdu stood on the stone bridge, below which the eternally silent river seemed to have no source or end, yet it also seemed to form its own cycle, encompassing all the heavens and myriad realms. Above the eighteen layers of Fengdu Northern Yin Netherworld Reincarnation Auspicious Clouds, six deep and dark light wheels converged into an ancient wheel-like "Dao Fruit" floating within.

The cultivation period of Qingyun Daoguo's manifestation was exactly nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years!
This is the limit of cultivation that a Dao Lord can achieve!

Of course, the wonder of cultivation is not just about numerical beauty. In just a few breaths, both of their cultivation levels were reduced, but they were able to recover in an instant.

However, only the most outstanding beings could see that, due to the fundamental Dao Fruit, the Fengdu Emperor's attack had a greater impact on the Dao Fruit and primordial spirit of the Great Dao Lord of the Mi Luo Dao.

In other words, if this continues, the Emperor of Fengdu is more likely to injure the Great Dao Lord Mi Luo!
However, if they were to remain at this size forever, it could take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

Lin Xuanzhi stared at it for only a few moments before feeling dizzy and his primordial spirit seemed about to explode. It was only the effects of the Supreme Nine Palaces Spirit Platform Pill and the talisman of the Shaoqing Ancestor that eased his condition.

Daoist Zixia glanced at Lin Xuanzhi with a longing look: "The Daoist mark is good, but don't be too greedy..."

After he finished speaking, the scene in the Tai Chi diagram became somewhat distorted, less real and clear, as if one were actually there.

Actually, Lin Xuanzhi wasn't the only one who was "greedy," but he was the worst among them...
