Marvel's Magic Master

"This...this is impossible!"

The two, under the pressure of the Twenty Heavenly Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, tried to resist, only to find that their cultivation was rapidly depleting.

Most of the merit that helped them achieve sainthood flowed into George's body on the other side.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two had already fallen from the Saint Realm and become the peak of Quasi-Saint.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

The two of them really couldn't understand why the other party could devour the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus so quickly, become a Saint Realm so quickly, and suppress them to absorb their merits.

This is simply unreasonable and contrary to the laws of nature.

"Today I am the Buddha, and I will change the Western religion to Buddhism. I will guide you two into the Buddhist path and make you the Cundi Buddha and the Amitabha Buddha. Are you willing?"

George's eyes shot out endless Buddhist light as he looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, who were suppressed on the ground and unable to move.

The reason he was able to suppress the two Western Saints so easily was not only because he swallowed the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit.

Although he is not a saint, his actual combat power is no less than that of merit saints like Zhunti and Jieyin because he has devoured all the worlds.

It was not the quasi-saint level cultivation that the two of them thought.

Furthermore, his strength increased significantly when he broke through to the Saint realm, which led to a significant increase in the strength of his clones in the Dragon Balls and Saint Seiya worlds.

As a result, he quickly devoured and refined a small portion of both worlds, and his strength increased dramatically once again.

Therefore, when George made his move, he was no longer at the level of someone who had just entered the Saint realm.

Furthermore, due to George's increased power, he converted Western religion to Buddhism and became the Buddha of Buddhism.

Originally, all the merits and fortune of the Western religion naturally flowed towards George, and the foundation for the two Western saints to become saints was dug up, and their strength continued to decline.

"We will obey the Buddha's decree!"

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, sighed helplessly, and bowed their heads in agreement.

Because they knew that if they didn't agree at this moment, they would be reborn into the cycle of reincarnation.

The moment they agreed, Buddha's light surged into their bodies, and they became George's subordinates, subject to the control of this Buddha.

However, he also recovered some of his strength as a result. Although he is not a saint, he is at the peak of the quasi-saint level, close to the saint level.

Furthermore, because they were once saints, their strength is much greater than that of ordinary peak quasi-saints.

"Come, follow me to the East to save people!"

After becoming a saint, George did not go to Sishui Pass to help Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately, but instead brought Zhunti and Jieyin to the Three Immortal Islands.

Where are the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas?

As George's Buddhist chants reached the sea, Ao Guang, Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun led the dragon clans of the four seas and all the demon clans to the surface.

"The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are here to pay homage to the Buddha!"

"Would you be willing to join my Buddhist order?"

George smiled slightly.

"I'm willing!"

Ao Guang and the others agreed without hesitation.

George had discussed this matter with them before the war.

The Dragon Clan offended both the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect, and could only hide in the depths of the East Sea seeking the protection of the Jie Sect.

But they can't hide like this forever.

As one of the three great chaotic divine beasts, how is the Dragon Clan's current state of hiding different from when they were suppressed in the East Sea Dragon Palace?

They don't seek to restore their former glory, but at least they want to be able to live openly and honestly between heaven and earth.

So they decided to take a gamble.

If George can truly subdue the Western religion and become a saint, then the entire Dragon Clan of the Four Seas will join George's new religion.

In this way, they would have the right to live openly and honestly in the world.

Faced with new saints and new sects, even the Heavenly Court would not pursue their past sins again.

As for the Chan teachings?

If George's plan succeeds, there will be very few people left in the Chan Sect.

"it is good!"

George waved his hand, and a ray of Buddhist light enveloped the dragon clans of the four seas.

All the dragons and sea monsters instantly emitted a peaceful Buddhist light, enveloped in auspicious clouds, no less than those immortals who were recognized by heaven and earth and exuded divine aura.

Buddha, immortals, and gods are all righteous paths recognized by the Heavenly Way.

No matter what sins you have committed or how serious your crimes are, as long as you say that you have entered the Buddhist order, no one will hold you accountable.

Under the protection of the Buddha's light, the strength of the dragon clans of the four seas has also been enhanced.

"This is not much worse than the three thousand mortals."

Feeling that his own strength had increased considerably due to the growth of Buddhism, George nodded to himself.

The two Western Saints strengthened Buddhism by converting three thousand outer disciples of the Jie Sect and some disciples of the Chan Sect, thus repaying the debts they had incurred years ago.

He couldn't possibly undermine his master, the Tongtian Sect Leader, but he could recruit members from the Four Seas Dragon Clan.

Thanks to his previous help, the Four Seas Dragon Clan did not suffer much loss. In terms of both numbers and strength, they were not much inferior to the three thousand Red Dust Guests of the Intercepting Sect.

However, they still lack top-tier strength.

Now that he has Zhunti and Jieyin, his top-tier strength has been somewhat compensated.

Moreover, his plan is not yet finished.

Having subdued the dragon clans of the four seas, George rode on a golden auspicious cloud, leading all the Buddhist disciples, and once again arrived at Sishui Pass.

"Master, watch as your disciple comes to your aid!"

Upon arriving at the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, George transformed into the Great Sun Tathagata and first reached out to take all the disciples of the Chan Sect, including Grand Master Xuandu, into his own world to guide them to Buddhism.

Then he raised his hand and struck towards Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun in the formation:
"Great Sun Tathagata Palm!"

After completely devouring the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit and obtaining all the merit and fortune of the Western Sect, he also automatically acquired various Buddhist supernatural powers that arose in response to the Buddhist tradition.

The golden body of Vairocana Buddha and the Vairocana Buddha's palm are both supernatural powers that only the Buddha can unleash.

However, at this point, George's clone had already devoured a small portion of the Dragon Balls and the Saint Seiya world.

Therefore, his strength is far greater than that of the future incarnation of the Taoist Master Duobao, the Buddha.

The power of the Great Sun Tathagata Golden Body and the Great Sun Tathagata Palm he unleashed was naturally terrifying.

The key point is that when he used this supernatural power, all the Buddhist disciples contributed their magical power to bless him.

"How could this be?"

They were already at a slight disadvantage against the Tongtian Sect Master and the Supreme Lord Laozi and the Primordial Heavenly Lord of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and then they encountered a ruthless character like George.

No matter how many supernatural powers and magical treasures they used, they could no longer resist.

They had planned everything, but they never expected that a tiny black dragon, appearing out of nowhere, would steal the merits and fortune of the Western Sect, become a saint, and even convert the two Western Saints.

Moreover, their strength is so terrifying that it surpasses that of any one of the Three Pure Ones.

"boom!"

Countless golden lights exploded, and the sacred bodies of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun cracked, their divine souls trembling.

If the fighting continues, two of the Three Pure Ones might actually perish here.

However, just as George was about to strike again, auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, along with thousands of streams of lucky energy and a fragrant aroma.

A Taoist priest walked slowly towards them, holding a bamboo cane.

This reminded him of the verse about Hongjun in "Investiture of the Gods":
"Lying high on the ninth cloud, I have attained the truth of the Tao on my cushion.

Beyond the darkness and chaos of heaven and earth, I shall be the supreme ruler. Pangu gave birth to the Taiji, from which the two polarities and four symbols follow.

One path is passed on to three friends, and the other two teachings are explained and divided.

The most outstanding among all beings in the Xuanmen sect, transformed into the Primordial Chaos by a single breath.

"It did appear, good, good."

Upon seeing the appearance of Hongjun Laozu in person, George was not afraid; instead, he smiled.

He just attacked so fiercely because he wanted to force Hongjun Laozu to make a personal appearance.

Even in different prehistoric worlds, the Three Pure Ones would be extremely important beings.

It's highly likely that Hongjun Laozu couldn't bear to see several of his disciples die.

Moreover, in the original novel "Investiture of the Gods", when the Tongtian Sect Leader was preparing to establish "earth, water, fire and wind" again to rebuild a primordial world.

Hongjun Laozu also personally intervened to resolve the feud between the three.

Now that he has this level of strength, he feels that he really needs to meet Hongjun Ancestor in person and find out what Hongjun Ancestor's purpose is.

"Your disciple respectfully welcomes Your Majesty's arrival, and wishes Your Majesty a long and healthy life!"

Upon seeing Hongjun appear, the Three Pure Ones immediately restrained all their abilities and respectfully bowed their heads in greeting.

Seeing that their master was bowing respectfully, the disciples of the Jie Sect in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation dared not be negligent and also paid their respects to their patriarch.

George, along with his Buddhist disciples, also respectfully bowed to Hongjun.

Regardless of Hongjun's motives, all of my current achievements are thanks to him.

As long as Hongjun didn't harbor any particular malice towards him, he was always very grateful to him.

"Fame and fortune are what ordinary people strive for, and anger is what women and children do. You have already reached the realm of saints, and possess an indestructible body that lasts for countless eons."

Yet, because of these trivial matters, you have become angry and foolish, and indulged in these wicked desires, truly disappointing your teacher!

After landing, Hongjun looked at the Three Pure Ones and spoke slowly.

The Three Pure Ones dared not refute, and lowered their heads even further:
"I know I was wrong, and I hope my teacher will forgive me."

Hongjun tossed out three pills that landed in the hands of the Three Pure Ones:

"These are pills I personally refined. They can repair your injured bodies and restore your magical power. Take them first."

The three Pure Ones put the pills into their mouths, and the pills transformed into primordial energy, instantly healing all their injuries.

You should know that at their level, elixirs are basically useless.

It's safe to say that they are indeed teachers; they are still far from being good enough.

"From now on, disciples of the three religions shall not interfere with the Investiture of the Gods, and shall return to their respective homes to cultivate."

Hongjun Laozu set the tone for the matter with his first words, and then looked at George:

"The same applies to Buddhist disciples."

"Follow the law!"

George immediately responded along with Sanqing.

Now, most of the disciples of the Jie Sect have been saved, and he has also stolen the merits and fortunes of the two Western Saints, becoming the Buddha. His goal has been basically achieved.

As for the wars between ordinary people in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, he didn't care at all.

"The four of you, come with me."

Hongjun Laozu glanced at the Three Pure Ones and George, then turned and ascended into the Primordial Purple Qi.

The Tongtian Sect Leader gave a few instructions to his disciples, and George also gave a few instructions to Zhunti, Jieyin, and the Dragon Clan. Then, he, along with Taishang Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun, came to Hongjun Laozu's back.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Zixiao Palace, the palace where Hongjun Patriarch cultivated.

"The three of you should go to the inner palace to cultivate in peace. After the Investiture of the Gods is over, you can return to your respective palaces."

Upon entering the main hall, Hongjun first gave an instruction to the Three Pure Ones, and after they left, he turned to George and smiled:
"You must have many questions in your heart, right?"

"I have many questions, and I would appreciate it if my master could enlighten me!"

Tongtian is his master, and Hongjun Laozu is Tongtian's master, so there is absolutely no problem with him calling Hongjun Laozu.

Moreover, at this time, it's natural to want to get as close to someone as possible.

"Don't worry, even I, your grandmaster, didn't expect you to have reached this point."

Hongjun Laozu saw the underlying worry in George's heart and explained:

"I made a bet with OAA before, we would each send an ordinary person to the other's world and see who is stronger in the end."

Of course, this isn't the first time we've made a similar bet, but many of them have failed during the development process.

So this time we all did something underhanded.

I granted you the ability to create clones, and he sent me a Tony Stark who started playing a cyberpunk fantasy game in one of my worlds.

"Okay, so who's stronger between me and Tony now?"

George's lips twitched. He hadn't expected that the truth behind his time travel was a bet between Hongjun Laozu and OAA.

Hongjun smiled:
“Naturally you are stronger, but even if you win the bet, OAA will not let your true form leave alive, especially not in my primordial world.”

"why?"

George's heart skipped a beat; he already had some guesses.

With his level of strength, especially after visiting so many worlds, it's not like he's completely oblivious to everything.

Hongjun seemed to have seen through George's guess:

"That's right, just as you think. We seem to be making a bet, but in reality, we want to use the bet to devour each other's world."

When I sent you there, I hid a Primordial Dao Seed within your body. It can help me collect the loopholes in the laws when OAA created the world.

If your original body can leave and return to my primordial world, I can use the Primordial Dao Seed within your original body to grasp the loopholes in the laws of that world.

In this way, if we were to fight again, I could exploit the loopholes in his laws and defeat him in one fell swoop.

Similarly, I believe Tony Stark has a similar arrangement within him, and if he leaves my primordial world and returns to the Marvel universe, I will be in great danger.”

"As expected, a chaotic saint who ruled over countless worlds in the primordial era, and an omnipotent cosmic creator who created the Marvel multiverse."

There must be a reason why they would make such a bet for no reason.

George sighed inwardly.

Even saints cannot be without desires; otherwise, the Three Pure Ones would not have established their religion, there would have been no Investiture of the Gods, and Hongjun would not have been able to break through the encirclement and rule the prehistoric world.

In the chaos, which of the creators who created the world didn't want to become more powerful?

As the strongest beings in the chaos, Hongjun and OAA certainly wanted to devour each other's worlds to further their cultivation and completely eliminate the potential danger of being devoured.

"Was the Living Tribunal's promise that I could take away a portion of the parallel world if I broke the seal also false?"

He is now very glad that when his main body broke through, he did not immediately break the seal of the Life Tribunal, but instead used the hidden laws to temporarily conceal the fact that his strength had broken through.

Otherwise, the original entity would definitely have been destroyed by OAA.

Even though his main body died, he still had so many clones, so it didn't have much of an impact.

However, in the universe where his original body resided, he still had many relatives and friends, which he could not bear to part with.

"That's true. OAA personally agreed to my conditions, and there's no way he'd go back on his word."

Just as I promised him that I could not help you in any way after your main body was sealed, I never created a new clone for you so that you could enter a new world.

"Your ability to reach your current level so quickly is actually somewhat beyond my expectations; it seems you've put in a lot of hard work."

Hongjun couldn't help but sigh, and then continued:
"However, although he agreed to let you leave the Marvel world, that doesn't mean you can return to my prehistoric world alive."

He would never allow me to have any contact with you or the chance to retrieve the Primordial Dao Seed.
