Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 1095 South China Sea Luojia
"A Great Luo who touches the point of destruction..." Ao Bing sensed the aura of destruction from afar and pondered in his heart.

Information about those Great Luo Immortals from beyond the realm also appeared one by one in Ao Bing's mind.

The Path of Destruction is a somewhat 'forbidden' path to enlightenment.

It points to an end, an annihilation.

Therefore, every being in the Great Heaven, especially the Great Luo, is extremely wary of 'destruction'.

Those Great Luo Immortals who have obtained Dao Fruits related to destruction through the Path of Destruction are subject to various forms of precaution.

Almost every major figure involved in the destruction was being watched by countless eyes.

After all, this type of great Ronaldo is either quiet and reserved.

But when they get restless, the fun they create is earth-shattering.

Most importantly, because their spiritual attainment is related to destruction, the amusement they create and the commotion they cause are only related to their own interests.

Aside from the fact that they themselves could benefit from the commotion, all living beings in the world, including those Great Luo Immortals, and even the world itself, were in a state of 'loss' during this process.

In particular, the Way of Destruction—the Way of Heaven and Earth itself—is one of the very few that can directly annihilate the very origin of Heaven and Earth, accelerating their decline and demise.

Logically speaking, if a Great Luo Immortal touches upon destruction, the moment they make a move, all the other Great Luo Immortals, both within and outside the world, will respond accordingly.

Looking across these five great worlds, they are all exactly the same, no matter which one is in which.

Any one of the Great Luo who has touched upon matters related to destruction has no chance to act alone.

Not to mention crossing from one great world to another, stepping into Pantian in one's true form.

"If it wasn't a Destruction-Side Great Luo from beyond the realm who stepped into Pantian in his true form, then the source of this destructive aura couldn't possibly be a manifestation within Pantian itself, could it?"

Ao Bing's heart stirred slightly.

Among the five great realms, Pantian is the most particular, and its power is subject to many taboos.

—Just as fate is a taboo in the heavens.

In the realm of the celestial realm, destroying something that can directly shorten the lifespan of heaven and earth from its very source is also a taboo.

In the Pantian realm, starting from the era of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, there has been a suppression of the Great Luo Immortals on the side of destruction, and an eradication of the Great Luo Immortals on the side of destruction.

Of course, compared to the unpredictability of fate, the power of destruction is more definite and more concrete.

Within the heavens, there exists a primordial spiritual treasure called the World-Destroying Millstone.

That was a supreme treasure forged by Hongjun Daozu after he killed the first Great Luo Immortal of the Destruction Side.

After that, all the destructive forces in Pantian had a destination—they all flowed towards this world-destroying millstone.

Similarly, this world-destroying millstone is also a direction for Pan Tian.

Whenever a Great Luo Immortal touches upon destruction within the Heavenly Realm, this World-Destroying Millstone will react accordingly.

Similarly, because of the closing of this world-destroying millstone, the power of destruction within Pantian has not spread and cannot be easily touched by anyone.

It is said that the Four Swords of Zhuxian of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun are extremely ferocious treasures.

However, the ferocity of this world-destroying millstone far surpasses that of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.

Most importantly, the power of destruction, as one of the roots of heaven and earth, will naturally increase with the passage of time and the depletion of the origin of heaven and earth.

This means that the existence of heaven and earth, and the existence of countless living beings within them, is equivalent to constantly refining the world-destroying millstone, making its power increasingly terrifying.

—Over countless millennia, one can only imagine how terrifying the power of this world-destroying millstone must have become.

In the heavens, this supreme treasure was also suppressed by a sage.

But no one knows exactly which saint is suppressing this treasure.

Even the name of this treasure, and its existence, are known only to a small number of people.

Therefore, if the source of that destructive aura is within Pantian, that would also be an incredible situation.

After all, under the control of the Great Millstone of Annihilation, it is originally a symbol of the destruction side in Pantian. The power of the destruction side will naturally flow towards it and be controlled by it, so it will not leak out.

—Once the power of destruction manifests within this Heavenly Millstone, it will prove that the Great Millstone of Annihilation has malfunctioned.

The sage who suppressed the world-destroying millstone has run into trouble.

"Or perhaps, it was a Great Luo who had always wanted to touch destruction, but dared not touch destruction because of fear of the Sage. In this special calamity, when even the Sage was hiding and unable to take action, he made a bold move and touched the Great Luo."

"Just like the Old Man of the Moon who touched fate back then."

Ao Bing frowned.

This is also an incredibly troublesome situation.

Compared to the interior of Pantian, the power of the Destruction Side went out of control, causing a Great Luo Immortal within Pantian to touch upon the fundamental power of the Destruction Side.

Ao Bing preferred to be a destructive Great Luo from beyond the realm, and stepped into Pan Tian in his true form.

"What a hassle!" Ao Bing thought to himself.

At that moment, his instinct was to find someone to discuss this matter with.

Looking around, Fang Yan realized that he had absolutely no idea who to discuss this matter with.

The destructive power manifested in Jambudvipa is a real and authentic power at the Great Luo level.

Any being below the Great Luo level who gets involved with such a thing will die, even those beyond the limit.

The power of destruction is the most adept force in the world at crushing the weak—it's about drawing a line directly based on this power.

Those who fall below this line will perish if touched!

As for the Vajra Indestructible—it can stand before the Great Luo, but it may not be able to stand before destruction.

Ao Bing didn't dare let Vajra Indestructible gamble.

Therefore, only the Great Luo can deal with this destructive power.

"No, no, no, there are also innate spiritual treasures!"

"The innate spiritual treasure itself, like the Great Luo, symbolizes the Great Dao."

"That's power at the level of the Great Luo."

"If someone can completely master a primordial spiritual treasure and perfectly wield its power, then they will be able to stand firm in the face of destructive power."

Ao Bing pondered to himself, then considered a different approach.

However, compared to the Great Luo, the Innate Spiritual Treasure also has its own shortcomings.

Although it is comparable to the Great Luo, it is ultimately not the Great Luo.

Although it possesses a spirit, its essence remains that of a 'dead thing'.

Furthermore, as a symbol of the Great Dao and as a part of the Great Dao, it is especially restrained in the face of destruction.

If no one is in charge and a primordial spiritual treasure is simply thrown into destruction, that primordial spiritual treasure has a very high chance of being destroyed by the destruction itself, and then becoming part of the destruction itself...

Therefore, to investigate the matter of destruction, one must have an extremely powerful Taiyi who has completely mastered the innate spiritual treasure.

However, those who can completely master a primordial spiritual treasure with the essence of a Great Luo using the Taiyi cultivation method are even rarer than those who transcend limits.

"Venerable Maitreya should be able to do it." In Ao Bing's mind, the first image that appeared was a pot-bellied, smiling figure. That future Venerable One of Buddhism, the successor to the future strongman—he was somewhere between Taiyi and Daluo.

Let alone completely mastering a primordial spiritual treasure, it can even directly draw down the power of the Dao Fruit from the future and transform into a Great Luo.

However, Maitreya's existence ultimately makes him the head of a religion.

His power wasn't so easy to use.

After Maitreya, another figure immediately appeared in Ao Bing's mind.

Guanyin Bodhisattva!

That is also a Taiyi that transcends the limits.

He is a powerful being who can add the word 'great' before the title of that Bodhisattva.

Most importantly, the innate spiritual treasure he possessed, the crystal bottle, was a spiritual treasure personally bestowed by the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Moreover, Guanyin Bodhisattva has completely refined and mastered this innate spiritual treasure.

Don't be fooled by his disheveled appearance at the Banquet of Equaling Heaven—that's because the one who made the move was none other than the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, an extremely powerful Luo who had twice attained the Dao Fruit.

If it weren't for the Great Sage Equaling Heaven personally taking action, even if the other Great Sages in the Cloud Cave joined forces, possessing both the speed of the Great Sage Hun Tian and the power of the Great Sage Moving Mountains, they would have had no chance of capturing Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Such a person deals with the destructive aura of Jambudvipa and seeks the source of that destructive aura.

That's just right!

Moreover, he met with Ao Bing in the East Sea after Ao Bing broke through the barrier.

With this anchor point, it became easier and more discreet for Ao Bing to use Yuan Tian's power to guide the 'past'.

"It's him!" Ao Bing pondered for a moment and quickly made his decision.

……

In the Luojia Grotto of the South China Sea, Guanyin Bodhisattva was calming her mind by gazing at the lotus flowers in the pond.

The banquet held on Mount Jilei has been over for some time.

However, this period of time could not erase the shame of Guanyin Bodhisattva being forcibly transformed into a snake demon at that banquet.

Since the banquet ended, he has been staying by this lotus pond.

Luojia Cave Heaven was also sealed off by him.

The many changes within the Buddhist community have never disturbed this Luojia Grotto-heaven.

However, on that very day, when Guanyin Bodhisattva was meditating by the lotus pond, the goldfish kept in the pond suddenly created a wave, and the fish flew up and then fell down, crushing a lotus leaf.

And the splashing waves, in the eyes of Guanyin Bodhisattva, transformed into a dragon shape and swept past in a trance.

In an instant, a jolt went through Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart.

"broken!"

In an instant, a memory surfaced in his mind.

That was a conversation between Ao Bing and Dipankara Buddha when Ao Bing first left the East Sea.

At that time, on the East Sea, they discussed the grand scheme of heaven and earth with the Great Dragon God Chengtian.

The Great Dragon God who carried the heavens was quite disdainful of what they said about the grand scheme of heaven and earth.

What did the Great Dragon God of Chengtian say back then?

Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly remembered.

At that time, the Great Dragon God Chengtian said that they could not even see clearly what was happening to themselves, so how dare they mention the grand scheme of heaven and earth in front of him?

To this end, the Great Dragon God of Heaven specifically cited the Southern Continent as an example.

It is said that in the Southern Continent, this great Bodhisattva is lurking in a deathly predicament...

Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't really care about this statement, nor did she take it to heart.

But today, for no apparent reason, the words of the Great Dragon God Chengtian suddenly came to mind in the heart of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Along with these words, the story of the Buddha who subdued the dragon also came to mind.

"Could it be that the eyes of the Great Dragon God Chengtian can truly see through the future?"

"Could it be that some unpredictable event in the Southern Continent will truly become my death calamity?"

At that moment, an extremely strong sense of unease arose in the heart of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Child." So Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately got up and summoned her attendant... maiden.

This is a dragon princess from the Dragon Palace of the South China Sea, who serves by the side of Guanyin Bodhisattva and is known as Sudhana, the Dragon Girl.

Although the relationship between the Dragon Clan and Buddhism is not very harmonious.

But for ordinary dragons, being able to serve as an attendant to Guanyin Bodhisattva is a decent way out.

“Bodhisattva,” the Dragon Girl Sudhana replied crisply.

"Child, has anything changed in the Southern Continent recently?"

"Where has the Venerable Xuanzang gone on his journey to the West?" asked Guanyin Bodhisattva.

“Bodhisattva, the fighting in Jambudvipa continues as always, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven’s prohibition has been broken.”

"The White Tiger Guardian God Lord is now stationed in Fengqi Kingdom, and has ordered the great gods who joined forces to conquer Fengqi Kingdom to restore order within the kingdom."

"In addition, there are the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and his companions, who are heading towards the Kingdom of Fengqi."

"And..." Sudhana suddenly hesitated.

"What else?" Guanyin Bodhisattva's heart tightened.

“Bodhisattva, there are rumors circulating outside…” Sudhana then whispered to Guanyin Bodhisattva about the rumors about Buddhist rituals.

Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva's internal organs trembled, and she almost dropped the jade bottle in her hand.

"Is this my death calamity?" Guanyin Bodhisattva seemed to have realized something.

As a Buddhist monk, he was responsible for handling all kinds of changes that occurred in the world.

Xuanzang's journey to the West was naturally no exception.

For him, ensuring that Xuanzang could safely and safely set foot on Mount Ling was his inescapable responsibility—even though Xuanzang had already made the great vow to reform Buddhism.

Even with such a great aspiration, Xuanzang found himself in an extremely dangerous situation.

At most, Xuanzang could only die at the hands of the Buddhist community, not at the hands of outsiders.

In the past, the power of Buddhism dominated the world, and he, as the face of Buddhism who traveled to all corners of the land, upheld it here.

When Xuanzang traveled to the west, people outside the Buddhist community might not necessarily make things difficult for him—in fact, they might even proactively make things convenient for him so they could enjoy watching the Buddhist community's antics.

But now... with the emergence of those Buddhist rituals, the situation is different.
