Born with immortal seed

Chapter 934

Upon returning to the Seven Treasures Immortal Realm, Bai Zichen sensed something was amiss; the checkpoints and immortal cities were under much tighter patrols.

All the formations of those sects and families were activated, and rays of light shone brightly, completely obscuring the area.

The cultivators on the road were in a hurry. They did not dare to stop when they saw the flying boats, but instead urged their true essence to speed up their departure.

When he met Tian Jianzi, he learned how many major events had occurred in the Earthly Immortal Realm during his time in Taiwei Blessed Land.

The words spoken by the Green Emperor may well be referring to the current chaotic situation.

"The Saha Buddha Land is suddenly engulfed in war. The five great Buddhas have set out to establish a pure land in the Heavenly Abyss. A thousand miles of demonic land has already been purified and transformed into a land of immortals."

"Several demon gods have stirred up trouble again, attacking nearby immortal sects, and war is raging everywhere... Is Ananda, the Dragon King from True Dragon Island, among them?"

After reading through several pages of intelligence files, Bai Zichen began to doubt whether he had spent more than a few months in the Two Elements Immortal Realm, but rather ten or twenty years.

There's no reason for earth-shattering changes to happen in such a short time.

There was not a single sign before we set off.

In comparison, the scenes he relived in Taiwei Paradise paled in comparison, lacking the same level of impact.

After all, the threat of the Heavenly Emperor's awakening is still in the future, and the actions of the Saha Buddha Land and the Demon God are directly related to the present.

"When I was with the Buddha in Tianyuan, there was no sign of this at all. We made no preparations, did not join forces with the other groups, and there was not a sound of it... Don't be fooled by the fact that the Pure Land has gained a foothold now. The price we paid was the passing of at least two Buddhas, the transformation of a hundred Arhats into rainbows, and countless other monks who went to their deaths."

Tian Jianzi spoke in a low voice with a gloomy expression.

"The power of Buddha accumulated over countless millennia in these pure lands is naturally unstoppable and incomparably vast, but how long can it last?"

"I see absolutely no point in the Saha Buddha Land doing this. Without the cooperation of other forces, especially the Dao Court, it's impossible to push the Tianyuan battle line forward permanently... Even if it succeeds, the price paid will far outweigh the gains, except perhaps for the Saha Buddha Land..."

Bai Zichen sensed the unspoken meaning in Tian Jianzi's words; such a thing would be difficult to implement in any sect in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

The idea of ​​sacrificing one's disciples to do something that seems meaningless has long been met with uproar.

In the Saha Buddha Land, the Buddha's position is supreme, and with a single word, he can get all his disciples to work toward a single goal.

"Where are those demon gods? Could it be a countermeasure by the Heavenly Demon Realm?"

Ananda, the Dragon King, was attacking the Three Immortal Islands, but Bai Zichen still couldn't be completely at ease.

The True Dragon Island army slightly deviated from its original formation, and the divine seed cultivators enlightened by Rotten Axe Mountain were completely unable to resist.

"No, the two events happened almost simultaneously. It's impossible for the Heavenly Demon Realm to react so quickly... Moreover, these powerful demons all have irreconcilable hatred for the Heavenly Demon Realm. It's impossible for them to have completely deceived us."

Tian Jianzi sighed, his long sword dangling erratically, sometimes resting across his lap, sometimes leaving the real world.

Each time it disappeared and reappeared, a wisp of murderous aura appeared on the sword. The cold and chilling intent even affected this special space, causing a thin layer of frost to form.

"The two demon gods were converted by the Buddha, and the other one was so badly injured when he came to the Immortal Realm that he was about to fall from his cultivation level. He was saved by a rejuvenating medicine."

“The Saha Buddha Land happens to have a kind of wondrous elephant ghee that can heal even the most severe physical injuries without leaving any hidden wounds... I suspect that the white elephant was using the sacred Buddhist medicine to heal its wounds and secretly making advances.”

"It is highly likely that the rebellion of the demon god was also secretly orchestrated by the Saha Buddha Land, but we haven't figured out why yet."

All the top forces in the Immortal Realm were suppressed, and they mobilized all their agents, sending envoys to the Saha Buddha Land to gather information.

They discovered that the Buddhist land had long since closed its doors and severed all contact with the outside world.

Unlike other realms, the Pure Land of Saha is a collection of Pure Lands created by countless Buddhas and Arhats, situated to the left and right of the central Pure Land of the Buddha.

The Buddhist teachings are ranked according to their level of importance and distance.

In ordinary times, it manifests in the world, with Buddhist kingdoms standing tall and sacred mountains appearing one after another.

If one wishes to conceal their presence, all that is needed is for the central Buddhist land to sink and hide within the boundless chaotic world, making even a perfectly integrated being difficult to find.

The Buddhist army of Tianyuan only focused on fighting fiercely, ignoring the olive branches and requests for cooperation from other forces.

Faced with the various demon gods who had risen up, apart from the friendly forces of the attacked sects, only the Dao Court dispatched the Nine Luminaries Starship and Heavenly Generals and Guards to provide support.

The other major powers tacitly maintained a wait-and-see attitude, refraining from taking any action.

One strange thing after another, it seems that a great change is about to happen in the Immortal Realm. Accumulating strength is the top priority.

"Sacrificing so many disciples and exposing the demon god under their control, the Saha Buddhist Land must have a great request... I wonder if the Buddha has shown up, and what his attitude is?"

As an ancient being, Bai Zichen did not believe that the Buddha would do anything useless, especially since people at their level knew that the time for the Heavenly Emperor's return was drawing ever closer.

"Since the Buddha has not appeared, I suspect that he may be related to the Heavenly Emperor."

Tian Jianzi nodded, knowing that all his questions would be answered once he saw the Buddha.

However, this foremost figure in Buddhism refused to meet with them, much to the dismay of the powerful figures in various factions. They used their supernatural powers again and again, but still could not decipher the layers of fog laid down by the Buddha.

"Fellow Daoist, did you gain anything from your trip to the Taiwei Blessed Land?"

Bai Zichen condensed the process into its essence, only mentioning the parts that could be discussed, omitting a small amount of content.

For example, if he obtains the mark of the Celestial Venerable of Longevity and completes the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, the matter of further enhancing its power will naturally be omitted.

"The Azure Emperor was originally the reincarnation of the First Eternal Heavenly Venerable. No wonder, no wonder, so many things match up... I wonder how there could be a rogue cultivator in the world with no background and no inheritance, who suddenly broke into the ranks of the Five Sons of the Human Race."

A sudden realization flashed across Tian Jianzi's eyes; this information had solved a mystery that had troubled him for many years.

"According to what you said, he might indeed be on our side... Did he foresee the actions of the Saha Buddha Land in what he said, or did the Buddha discuss it with him beforehand?"

The former is one thing, but the latter shows that the Azure Emperor and the Buddha have secretly formed an alliance, and even such a top secret would be communicated in advance.

The fact that these two human princes, both of whom are ancient beings, have gathered together and made such a commotion suggests that their true purpose is quite clear.

Mahayana!

Tian Jianzi suddenly stood up straight, his chest pounding as he considered this terrifying possibility.

"The Buddha has experienced many reincarnations and possesses unfathomable wisdom, his accumulated foundation is unimaginable... He may have already made a breakthrough, and with the Heavenly Emperor experience provided by the Azure Emperor, he has officially taken the final step!"

“All unreasonable actions, which may seem like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs and are not worth the effort, are worthwhile if the purpose is to help the Buddha ascend to Mahayana.”

"What is this sacrifice if the Buddha ascends to Mahayana? Even if all his disciples and followers perish, it's worth it!"

At the level of the Five Sons of Humanity, who wouldn't aspire to the Mahayana path?

Tian Jianzi pinned his hopes on severing karma through the Immortal Foundation, aiming to ascend to the pinnacle of swordsmanship and cut off all his own karma.

Once all causal connections are severed and perfection is achieved, it will be the opportune time to challenge Mahayana Buddhism.

Just then, the Dao Foundation Sacred Treasure was born, and with the Myriad Manifestations Sword Pivot as a reference, coupled with the fact that the Severing Cause and Effect technique had no effect on Bai Zichen, it was clear that the skill was still far from perfect.

Therefore, he re-examined the path and tried to integrate the Myriad Manifestations Sword Pivot into his lifelong cultivation.

Unexpectedly, the Buddha took the lead and took this step ahead of time.

"I wonder if Buddha can succeed?"

Bai Zichen had mixed feelings and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

According to Wu Kuangtu, if someone were to attain Mahayana enlightenment during this period, it would pose a great threat to the Heavenly Emperor.

It's like stealing the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit, taking a shortcut that's much easier than the normal path to Mahayana.

Wu Kuangtu knew that there was no reason why an ancient being like Buddha would be unaware of the situation.

Even if we take a step back and assume that the two suns of the Earthly Immortal Realm are in the sky, then even if one were to surrender, there would be more options.

The more variables there are, the more likely it is to find a way out.

However, given his special status and the fact that he had not established any good ties with Buddhism beforehand, he couldn't help but worry that the Buddha might use him to exchange with the Heavenly Emperor.

If successful, it will be a fully recovered Mahayana practitioner, which cannot be resisted by a few people joining forces.

With just a glance, someone can be imprisoned in the Buddhist realm, never to escape again.

Overall, however, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks for him.

Therefore, Bai Zichen was able to accept the impact, unlike Tian Jianzi who clearly lost his composure.

Despite their varying combat strengths in the past, the five sons of the human race were all considered to be great figures on the same level in the eyes of the world.

Regardless of whether the Buddha's ascension was successful or not, this action widened the gap between the individuals.

"The Mahayana realm, who can say for sure... But the Buddha has lived through many lifetimes and has no worries about his lifespan, and the Heavenly Emperor's return is not the most pressing matter for him..."

Tian Jianzi was shocked, but he was still able to respond calmly and righteously.

"Such an ancient person would not act without purpose; he would only act without reservation when he saw what he considered the most suitable opportunity."

“Something big is happening in places we can’t see… Judging from the words of the Azure Emperor, perhaps only the ancients know this!”

"If I were in their shoes, I would never dare to take this step without at least a 30% chance of success. The Buddha's position is even higher."

Bai Zichen was filled with mixed emotions. No wonder the Azure Emperor said that there would be a great change in the Earthly Immortal Realm. Could there be a change even more significant than the emergence of many Mahayana cultivators?

"Should the original plan still be carried out?"

"Let's observe the actions of the Saha Buddha Land. While everyone's attention is drawn away, fellow Daoists, please visit various ruins. I will also gather information about the extreme point of the universe and contact my fellow Daoists to provide more assistance."

Tian Jianzi stared quietly at the long sword in front of his knees and said softly.

"Understood, then this junior will take his leave first... If there is any information about the Taiyi True Immortal or the Extreme Point, I hope that senior can send a copy to the Rotten Axe Mountain in the Five Dragons Sea."

Bai Zichen stood at the foot of Tianjian Mountain and sighed deeply. How could he not hear the change in Tianjianzi's attitude?

Compared to the uncertain return of the Heavenly Emperor, the Buddha's ascension to Mahayana and the Heavenly Sword Child are naturally more relevant and significant.

One is a future threat, and the other is an imminent crisis.

It's impossible to devote all our energy and attention to dealing with the Heavenly Emperor. The most important thing is to figure out the details of the Saha Buddha Land and how to deal with it if the Buddha really advances to Mahayana.

Just as things were starting to look up, he was busy contacting various powerful figures, leaving him all alone in the camp against the Heavenly Emperor.

Among the three realms, only he and the Heavenly Emperor had no room for compromise or retreat, so only one of them could survive.

"Let's go back to Rotten Axe Mountain first, lest Ananda Dragon King destroy our lair... Judging by the time, Zi Fu Jing's incarnation should be returning soon as well."
