Chapter 598 The Tongtian Sect Leader Goes All Out! Luofu Seizes the Primordial World, A Great Battle for the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth!

Even if the Six Soul Banner cannot truly kill a saint, it will certainly cause the saint a great loss.

Luo Fu never expected that Dingguang Huanxi Buddha would present such a precious treasure to him.

Luo Fu had always believed that the Six Soul Banner, a magical artifact so special that it could affect even saints, would return to the hands of the Tongtian Sect Master after the Investiture of the Gods calamity ended.

Unexpectedly, I now see it in the hands of the Buddha of Dipankara.

It should be noted that although countless gods and powerful beings faced the tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, it was extremely rare for magical treasures to be refined and changed hands. In fact, it can be said that only the case of Daoist Ran Deng taking the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls from Zhao Gongming is an example.

Besides, even rogue cultivators like Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, who perished early, still had the Treasure Coins in their hands when the gods were conferred.

Having guessed that the Six Souls Banner was in the hands of Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, Luofu casually glanced at Chiyou beside him.

As a being with two sides, Chi You said, "We are here on orders to help the Buddha overcome this great calamity between humans and demons and quell the chaos in the three realms."

The moment the words fell, a terrifying aura of malevolence instantly enveloped Chi You, forming several figures in an instant.

These figures were none other than the ancestral witches who had long since perished in the Lich War.

These figures are not merely illusions; they seem to have truly risen from the dead.

However, although the one who was resurrected was indeed an Ancestral Witch, he was no longer the Ancestral Witch he once was. Instead, he was an incarnation of Chi You, and his strength was no longer at the peak of Quasi-Saint, but merely at the level of a newly entered Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Within the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortals, the difference in strength is actually enormous.

After breaking through to Taiyi Golden Immortal, one becomes a Daluo Golden Immortal, but the peak of Quasi-Saint, who is only one step away from proving the Dao and becoming a Saint, is also a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Without considering factors like magical artifacts, which have a significant impact, a peak Quasi-Saint level expert can easily subdue numerous Grand Luo Golden Immortals simply by relying on their own cultivation and magical power.

Of course, as time goes by, and with the inevitable formation, existence, decay, and emptiness of the Heavenly Dao, the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Three Realms also changes with the changes in heaven and earth, and the difficulty of achieving them becomes increasingly higher.

For a considerable period of time, only Luo Fu achieved the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Three Realms.

Moreover, Luo Fu did not rely on his own enlightenment or arduous cultivation to raise his strength to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Instead, he relied on bringing the Dao and principles of other worlds to the Three Realms, thereby obtaining a massive amount of Heavenly Dao merit, and achieving the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal through merit.

However, a Great Luo Golden Immortal is still a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even if Luofu achieved it through the trick of Heavenly Dao Merit, it would not be inferior to those old-fashioned ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Chi You revealed these several ancestral witch incarnations to Luo Fu, and bluntly told Luo Fu that the fact that they, representing Buddhism, Taoism, and the gods, had come together almost meant that it was a consensus of the three realms to let Luo Fu enter the calamity and quell this great calamity between humans and demons.

Lü Dongbin seemed somewhat detached from the matter. Apart from initially greeting Luo Fu, he remained silent, like an outsider, merely observing Luo Fu and Chang Er Ding Guang Xian with a strange gaze.

Although Lü Chunyang was a Taoist, he was a disciple of the Human Sect and one of the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave under the tutelage of the Sage Taiqing.

As the ancestor of sword immortals, his presence here represents the will of the orthodox Taoist sect.

In some ways, Lü Chunyang's arrival is more representative than that of Wudang Shengmu and Taiyi Zhenren.

After all, Taiyi Zhenren's identity is somewhat complicated. He is one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, the Eastern Azure Emperor of the Heavenly Court, and the Taiyi Salvation Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld.

Taiyi Zhenren's complex identity means that his representation will not be purely representative.

On the contrary, Lü Dongbin is more able to represent the will of Taoism.

At this moment, in addition to the Buddha, Taoist deity, and god before them, there was also the Buddha of Divine Bliss, Lu Dongbin, the Pure Yang Immortal, and Chi You, the incarnation of Luofu.

In the Three Realms, apart from figures like the Styx Ancestor and Zhen Yuanzi, almost all beings who could be considered orthodox have gathered at Ruzhen Temple in Luofu.

This means that Luofu was chosen as the supreme ruler to face the calamity.

In a sense, Luofu is comparable to a combination of the Yellow Emperor in the Battle of Zhuolu and Jiang Ziya, the one who was destined to face the tribulation in the Investiture of the Gods.

Faced with the Six Soul Banner in the hands of the Buddha of Divine Light and Joy, Luo Fu hesitated for a moment before finally bowing slightly to the banner.

It was as if the artifact possessed a spirit.

The triangular banner suddenly trembled, and in the next moment, amidst a burst of auspicious light, it flew straight out of the palm of the Buddha of Joy and Light, spun in mid-air, and fell into Luofu's hand.

Luo Fu quickly caught the falling Six Soul Banner.

The moment Luo Fu came into contact with this special magical artifact, a sigh suddenly appeared in his mind.

With that sigh, a lineage called Shangqing Immortal Light was transmitted into Luofu's mind.

This is precisely the method of passing on knowledge through heart-to-heart transmission.

The Shangqing Immortal Light may seem ordinary, but it is actually a secret transmission of the Shangqing Jie Sect. Even among the four direct disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master, few could obtain this inheritance.

This is no less powerful than the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques, comparable to the true orthodox lineage of manipulating creation, reversing yin and yang, and attaining enlightenment in dreams. It can cultivate the wondrous and ruthless Shangqing Immortal Light, which is both offensive and defensive.

This is the true embodiment of the teachings of the Shangqing Jiejiao sect.

It can be said that such a lineage would tempt any powerful being in the Three Realms.

Luofu is no exception.

In an instant, the Shangqing Immortal Light inheritance obtained through heart-to-heart transmission was firmly recorded in his heart.

Luo Fu bowed respectfully towards the heavens.

After getting up, he knew he couldn't refuse this time.

After all, he had already received the benefits; the Tongtian Sect Leader had truly gone all out.

Even if he were still greedy, this sage, with his clear-cut likes and dislikes, would probably not have to personally intervene.

It should be noted that, so far, the Tongtian Sect Leader has successively brought out the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the Six Souls Banner, the Shangqing Immortal Light, and other inheritances.

Luo Fu could guess that the reason why the Tongtian Sect Leader was so willing to go to such lengths was probably because he saw this great calamity between humans and demons as an opportunity to help the disciples of the Jie Sect escape their predicament.

For the disciples of the Jie Sect who seek immortality and freedom, the period after the Investiture of the Gods has been one of constant tribulation.

Whether their souls were enshrined on the Investiture of the Gods, converted to the Western Sect and became the three thousand Pratyekabuddhas under Luofu, or reduced to mounts like the previous Arhat with the curled head, or even disciples of the Jie Sect like the Holy Mother of Wudang who changed their names and appearances, all were in the midst of calamity.

Without Luofu's appearance, their desire to return to the Jie Sect would likely have to wait until countless eons later.

However, this great calamity between humans and demons, which reversed the course of Heaven, gave the disciples of the Jie Sect a glimmer of hope for escaping the calamity ahead of time. From the moment the Investiture of the Gods calamity ended, those Jie Sect disciples who were enslaved, whose souls returned to the Investiture of the Gods, or the three thousand Pratyekabuddhas who were converted, were destined to be unable to escape within the immeasurable calamity.

Of course, this was the result of the Jie Sect's defeat and the resulting loss of fortune.

However, this inescapable situation applies to the Jie Sect itself, not to any specific disciple of the Jie Sect.

Luo Fu, who reversed the course of Heaven, is definitely an existence that is completely contrary to the Way of Heaven and common sense.

His influence on the Three Realms is currently entirely positive, but this does not mean that the Six Sages and Dao Ancestor Hongjun would simply believe that Luofu has no negative impact on the Three Realms whatsoever.

When reasoning fails, strength is the true foundation for establishing a new order.

The great powers of the Three Realms are not truly driven by emotions and desires. Even a saint like the Tongtian Sect Leader was indifferent to the impending extinction of the Jie Sect's lineage during the Investiture of the Gods.

If one day, the Six Sages or Dao Ancestor Hongjun determine that Luofu is a threat to the Three Realms, then it is easy to guess that they will definitely take action against Luofu.

I knew this was inevitable.

Essentially, Luofu's position within the Three Realms is highly problematic.

When he poses no threat to the world, he is a variable in the natural order.

But don't forget, Luo Fu's Dao and principles come from all the heavens and myriad worlds. His existence is like investing in a huge company on behalf of someone else.

This enormous company has a chairman, namely Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and below the chairman are saints who are like shareholders.

Luo Fu now only brings the Dao and principles of fifteen heavenly worlds. Even if he is investing on behalf of others, due to the vastness and uniqueness of this world, Luo Fu is only a minor shareholder.

However, the existence of shared spaces will allow Luofu to continuously gain more insights into the ways and principles of the world.

When the funds he brings reach a point where he can control this large company, what will happen to the original chairman, Daozu Hongjun? What will happen to the Six Sages? Are they truly willing to hand over everything to someone else?

It's important to understand that regardless of their internal strife, the Six Sages were all, in fact, disciples of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

From the moment when Dao Ancestor Hongjun merged with the Dao, even the demonic path that once fought against Hongjun could be considered to have been incorporated into the orthodox lineage of the Xuanmen.

Whether it is the Taoist sect with its three thousand orthodox paths, the Buddhist sect with its eight hundred unorthodox paths, or even the demonic sects of the left path, all are under the Heavenly Dao.

The existence of Luofu is like a cuckoo taking over a magpie's nest in the process of slowly boiling a frog.

Initially, the benefits he brought would make Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Six Sages, and others regard him as a friend, but this was because Luofu did not truly threaten them.

Luo Fu was clearly aware of this, which is why he spared no effort to improve himself.

Unlike the almost completely chaotic universe of Zhetian, Luofu in this world seems to have had everything go smoothly after entering a shared space.

Whether it was initially favored by the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, invested in by the seven spider demons, or even awakened the bloodline of the ancient ancestor of the witch clan within him due to the shared power, being favored by Lady Pingxin, receiving the grace of Master Subhuti's teachings through Lady Pingxin, or being continuously promoted by many saints and powerful beings.

All of this seems like a good thing, but Luofu can never forget the principle that prosperity must eventually lead to decline.

He was even more aware that many powerful beings in the Three Realms now paid a price for his goodwill.

The previous attack on the Unicorn King of Jindu Cave was almost an undisguised push for Luofu, pushing Luofu to complete the process of localizing its power. This process itself was boosting the Heavenly Dao, like continuously injecting capital into the huge company of the Three Realms.

The Heavenly Dao merits that Luo Fu received were like shares that this world granted to him.

Now that they've received such a huge benefit from the Jie Sect, Luofu is naturally going to get involved in this great calamity between humans and demons.

At the very least, he couldn't let down Tongtian Jiaozhu, his biggest supporter at this stage.

Whether it was Dingguang Huanxi Buddha who presented the Six Soul Banner to Luofu, or Lü Dongbin, or Wudang Shengmu, Taiyi Zhenren, etc., except for Chiyou, the incarnation of Luofu.

Almost everyone was one of the driving forces that led Luofu into its downfall.

Since they were about to face the tribulation, Luofu simply sent out its entire force.

Apart from the disciples of Huanghua Temple who were left outside Ruzhen Miaofa Heaven by Luofu due to their insufficient strength, the three Arhats, the Seven Emotions Bodhisattvas, and the three thousand Pratyekabuddhas were all taken by Luofu and headed straight for the front line of the great calamity between humans and demons.

Taiyi Zhenren, Lü Dongbin, and others were naturally delighted and eagerly followed.

As for the Holy Mother Wudang, needless to say, upon seeing the three Arhats and the three thousand Pratyekabuddhas who had entered the Buddhist order, she wished she could help these fellow disciples escape their tribulations right now.

In the eyes of the Holy Mother Wudang, even though the three great Arhats went from being mounts to becoming Arhats of the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, they were still subject to others and there was almost no difference between them.

The same applies to the three thousand Pratyekabuddhas.

Only by truly leaving Buddhism and returning to the Jie Sect can one truly escape the calamity.

The front lines of the great catastrophe between humans and transvestites.

The westward journey team, which was originally supposed to escort the Mahayana Tripitaka to the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land of Jambudvipa, is now also in the midst of the great calamity.

After escaping from the clutches of the King of Bazhou, Pigsy and the others indeed reunited with Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong in the Women's Kingdom. The group of master and disciples then headed straight for the Tang Dynasty in the East.

Unfortunately, the human race and the demon race are currently engaged in a great war for the control of the world.

Even Emperor Taizong had no intention of popularizing Mahayana Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.

Ultimately, Emperor Taizong was also of human origin. Whether in this life or in his previous life as the Ziwei Emperor, he was no exception. In such a great battle concerning the status of the protagonists of heaven and earth, he would naturally stand on the side of the human race without hesitation.

When everything had to give way to this great battle, the westward-bound caravans were inevitably drawn into it.

Tang Sanzang had already decided in his heart that his three disciples each possessed supernatural powers, especially Sun Wukong, who was incredibly powerful.

Although the westward-bound team was added.

However, the tribulation of the Journey to the West has finally ended. Moreover, given the reversal of the heavenly order, the prestige of Sun Wukong and others who were destined to face the tribulation has plummeted.

Even after joining the human race, it didn't have much of a decisive effect, only managing to create a stalemate with the demon race.

In such a great battle concerning the status of the main characters in the Heavenly Dao, even if Sun Wukong achieved enlightenment, he still did not break through the cultivation limit of Taiyi Golden Immortal and reach the level of Daluo Golden Immortal. If even Sun Wukong was like this, let alone Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing and others.
