Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

Lin Nan's voice was like a huge bell, echoing between heaven and earth for a long time. His words were sharp and pointed, directly hitting the vital points of Tathagata Buddha, without any fear or retreat.

When Tathagata Buddha heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he was obviously angered by Lin Nan's words. He was about to reprimand Lin Nan, but he didn't expect Lin Nan to blame him instead.

Lin Nan's words were full of awe-inspiring righteousness, as if he was the one upholding justice, without the slightest sense of guilt or retreat.

"How dare you speak nonsense about the Buddha!" ​​The Venerables Kasyapa and Ananda, who were beside the Tathagata Buddha, were furious when they heard Lin Nan's bold words. They stared at him with wide eyes and loudly rebuked Lin Nan.

However, in this tense atmosphere, the Great Immortal Tiger Power, the Great Immortal Deer Power and the Great Immortal Sheep Power looked at each other.

In that brief glance, they seemed to have a telepathic connection and communicated each other's inner thoughts.

The next moment, the three of them moved together, and in a flash, they stood beside Lin Nan. They deliberately lagged behind Zhang Wenle by half a step to show their respect for Zhang Wenle.

“In the name of us Taoist celestial beings… in the name of us three national masters of Chechi Country…” Huli Daxian stepped forward, his expression excited. He slowly said, “The Tathagata indulged the demons. The blue lion, the white elephant and the big peng committed evil in the Lion Country, devouring the people of an entire country, causing the tragic deaths of millions of people. Such crimes are simply heinous!”

The voice of Huli Daxian was filled with anger and grief. His words were so powerful that it seemed as if he was announcing the crimes of Tathagata Buddha to heaven and earth.

There is no doubt that although this is just the speech of Huli Daxian, it represents more than just his personal opinion.

At this moment, the three great immortals had become one, and they expressed their firm support for Lin Nan without any reservation.

In order to support Lin Nan, they dared to call the Buddha Tathagata directly, and even accused him of serious sins. Such behavior was undoubtedly a clear demonstration of their support for Lin Nan.

"Master!" The six-eared macaque leaped lightly, and a cloud of auspiciousness appeared under his feet in an instant, and he stood steadily beside Lin Nan. He looked at Ananda and Kasyapa opposite him with sharp eyes, and responded fearlessly: "How dare you be so rude to my master, who do you think you are!"

At the same time, Yin Xi, the founder of Louguan Dao, also made up his mind. He saw the purple and green sword light flashing, and he moved and landed behind Lin Nan. Although he did not speak, this action was better than a thousand words, showing his unwavering position.

The tiger demon Zhang Lie was not to be outdone. He suddenly stood up and leaped, with the breeze surrounding his body, and landed lightly behind Lin Nan. He was full of confidence, and as a Taoist "master", he said righteously: "The Buddhist sect has become more and more arrogant in recent years, preaching among the human race without any regard for the lives of the human race. How is it different from those demons and ghosts that wreaked havoc on the world in the past?"

In addition, Lu Dao Ren also quietly came behind Lin Nan. These Dao Ren, one by one, showed their attitudes with practical actions. Although they all had their own concerns, at this moment, they all chose to firmly support Lin Nan, the "Daoist Master".

On Lin Nan's body, the Yangping Zhidu seal was seen floating in the air, emitting a dazzling light; behind him, the Jiuji Mengwei talisman was flipping, and the names on it were flickering, mysterious and unpredictable.

In the sky, the stars are shining brightly, and the light is hanging down like silk threads; underground, it seems that the wind from the underworld is blowing gently, bringing a hint of mystery.

Above the earth, the divine power of the mountains and rivers surged towards this place like a tide. Lin Nan had not yet made any move, but his majesty as a Taoist master had already mobilized the power of heaven and earth. From the stars in the sky to the netherworld, the mountains and rivers in between were all controlled by his thoughts.

At this moment, all the gods in the Taoist system responded and borrowed the power. It can be said that Lin Nan at this moment, regardless of his own strength, the mighty power he mobilized alone was enough to easily mobilize the power of heaven and earth. As the Taoist master in the world, he is now a leading figure in the Taoist sect. Compared with the Buddha of the West and the Tathagata, who is revered by Buddhism, although his practice time and influence are not comparable, he still has the fearless courage to fight back against the Tathagata Buddha.

This was due to his stubbornness and his firm belief. Similarly, the existence of the "Tao Court" also gave him great confidence. And the identity of "Tao Lord" made his words not empty words.

Although Buddhism has become increasingly powerful today and Taoism seems to be somewhat unknown in comparison, the foundation of Taoism is by no means comparable to that of Buddhism.

From the stars in the sky and the gods in heaven to the underworld, the Ten Kings of Hell, and all the gods in the mountains, rivers and streams on earth, they are all Taoist gods and belong to the Taoist system.

Therefore, Lin Nan, the Taoist master who was personally recognized by the "Taoist Ancestor", would naturally be recognized by all the gods in the world. As a Taoist master facing the Buddha, he would naturally be able to get the support of the entire Taoist court.

As Lin Nan and Tathagata confronted each other, various strange phenomena appeared in the world. Under the reflection of the strange phenomena, Lin Nan looked calm and fearless, looking directly at Tathagata, and said loudly: "You, the Buddha, are only the Buddha of Lingshan, not the Buddha of the human race, and certainly not the Buddha of the Lion Country. You preach without morality, how can you bear the faith of the people of the world?" Lin Nan's words deeply touched the wronged souls of the Lion Country, and they screamed one after another, and the sound gathered into bursts of ghostly cries.

However, the intentions of many wronged souls in the Lion Country have been expressed very clearly.

"Amitabha." Facing Lin Nan's doubts, the Tathagata Buddha also responded: "The Lion Country feeds the demons with its own body, and its merits are immeasurable. I will order the Bodhisattvas and Arhats of Lingshan to help them transcend."

"It's too late to apologize afterwards!" Lin Nan snorted coldly and said bluntly: "Now that the people of Shituo Country have entered Chechi Country, they don't need your hypocritical Buddhist mercy."

As he spoke, Lin Nan looked at the souls of the Lion Country and said in a firm tone: "Most of the souls of the Lion Country have dispersed, but you are still here, so you must remember this deep hatred for them. Even if you reincarnate, you cannot erase this mark!"

The king of the Lion Country, who had turned into a skeleton, said in a low but firm voice: "I dare not forget." Lin Nan nodded slightly, no longer looking at the Buddha, but gently waved the "Five-Wisdom Demon-Subduing Fan" in his hand.

Suddenly, a gust of wind howled and enveloped the souls of the Lion Country. At the same time, the names on the page related to the Netherworld on Lin Nan's "Nine Extreme Alliance Talisman" were shining brightly. And the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin also emitted a soft and bright glow.

In this situation, Lin Nan didn't even need to chant any spells. He just went through the motions and said calmly, "In the name of Heaven and Earth, in the name of Lin Nan, the gates of the underworld will be opened, the road to reincarnation will be smooth, and the soul of the Lion Country will be sent into reincarnation..."

As Lin Nan spoke, a breeze from the netherworld blew gently. In the netherworld, layers of figures slowly approached, and the one leading them was actually the King of Hell. Behind him, the Black and White Impermanence, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, and all the ghost messengers followed closely.

They followed the sound and came, and when they saw Lin Nan, they all bowed. "Following the order of the Taoist master, we come to take you away..." The leading King of Hell greeted Lin Nan and waved slightly.

All of a sudden, the Black and White Impermanence and all the ghost officials took action. They maintained order, made the souls of the Lion Country line up neatly, and then stepped into the underworld.

On Lion Camel Ridge, everyone could vaguely see that the King of Hell personally led the many dead souls of the Lion Camel Kingdom through the Yellow Spring Road and onto the Naihe Bridge. On the Naihe Bridge, they drank bowls of Meng Po soup and then went straight into the reincarnation. This scene was said to be slow, but in fact it was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the dead souls on Lion Camel Ridge disappeared without a trace.

Before that, 48,000 little demons had also died in this dispute. Before that, with the aftermath of Lin Nan's attack, the attack of the monkey hair incarnation of the six-eared macaque, the attacks of a group of Taoists, and the impact of the dead souls of Lion Camel Ridge, the demonic energy on Lion Camel Ridge has been greatly reduced.

While Lin Nan was sending all the souls of the Lion Camel Ridge into reincarnation, Tathagata Buddha did not make any moves. When Lin Nan finished all this and Tathagata Buddha had no time to react, a golden wheel appeared behind Lin Nan!

This is the golden wheel of luck that Lin Nan obtained after years of practice. All the incense, faith, merit, and luck he obtained were condensed on this golden wheel, so this golden wheel of luck has turned into a unique and magical treasure.

At this moment, it was not Lin Nan who actively urged it, but it was falling from the sky, with pieces of merit falling like snowflakes. Therefore, the Golden Wheel of Luck emerged and absorbed the merits one by one.

Not only that, from the underworld, there were also lines of last bit of devout faith from the many dead souls of the Lion Country before reincarnation, which were also integrated into the Golden Wheel of Destiny.

As a result, the golden wheel of luck behind Lin Nan's head, although it was said to be golden, had actually turned into golden purple, with the purple color becoming even stronger. The golden wheel of luck behind him was like purple air coming from the east, with auspicious aura and rays of light, dazzling and brilliant.

This scene is in no way inferior to the golden light behind the Buddha.

The changes in Lin Nan were far more than that. Above his head, a stream of Taiqing Qi slowly rose up. This was exactly the Taiqing Qi from the "Three Flowers Transforming into Three Purities" that he had cultivated. The Taiqing Qi rose up and sat steadily in the center.

On both sides, there were Lin Nan's other two flowers that had not yet turned into pure air. But at this moment, the group on the left was gradually changing. The next moment, this flower turned into "vital energy".

"boom!"

There was a roar that exploded in Lin Nan's mind. In an instant, Lin Nan's body and consciousness seemed to experience the Tai Chi differentiation of the five elements and the wonderful scenes of all things being born from the vitality.

It was at this critical moment that Lin Nan saved the people of Shituo Country. His mind became clear and he took the final step. He also gained the real "vitality" and successfully entered the Shangqing Realm. Vitality is the energy of Shangqing.

The Shangqing Qi emerged and manifested above Lin Nan's head together with the Taiqing Qi, reflecting each other and exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

When the Supreme Pure Qi condensed and took shape in Lin Nan's body, his aura instantly underwent a drastic change.

Originally, under the Buddha's penetrating eyes, nothing Lin Nan did could escape his eyes.

However, at this moment, Tathagata Buddha was shocked to find that even though he had practiced for countless epochs, his Buddha eyes that could see through everything in the world, when facing Lin Nan, seemed as deep as the abyss, and it was difficult to glimpse his true face.

"This..." The Tathagata Buddha was secretly shocked, but his face remained calm. He waved his hand gently, and left quietly with the two Bodhisattvas and the Venerable beside him. This scene marked the retreat of the Tathagata Buddha.

Lin Nan's breakthrough had obviously exceeded the expectations of Tathagata Buddha.

Behind this, there is another factor that cannot be ignored - the humanitarian merit that Lin Nan has just acquired.

Over the years, Lin Nan has been committed to accumulating humanitarian merits. He has done good deeds, made many good friends, and has long left a deep mark of merit in the world.

This time, he saved the people of the Lion Country who were originally in dire straits, and sent them into reincarnation, which once again sublimated his merits.

These merits, like brilliant golden light, merged into his golden wheel of luck and merit, making his aura even more sacred and inviolable.

The Buddha Tathagata knew very well that if he continued to be an enemy of Lin Nan at this moment, he would inevitably be contaminated by the resentment and evil spirit caused by Lin Nan's merits, and thus suffer backlash.

In the spiritual world, those who have merits can often be blessed by heaven and earth. To be an enemy of them is undoubtedly to be an enemy of heaven and earth, and the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, Tathagata Buddha chose to retreat, and the Buddha's light in the sky also dissipated.

After Lin Nan's breakthrough, he slowly opened his eyes. The Taiqing and Shangqing Qi on his head had been reintegrated into his body, bringing his strength and understanding of the world to a whole new level. He felt unprecedented power and wisdom, as if the entire world was under his control.

When Lin Nan adapted to his own changes and opened his eyes again, the Tathagata Buddha had disappeared. He looked around and saw the three great immortals, Tiger Power, Deer Power, and Sheep Power, looking at him calmly, as if they had already gotten used to his breakthroughs. They had witnessed Lin Nan's countless transformations along the way and were no longer surprised by it.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Nan...have you made another breakthrough?" asked Immortal Huli softly, with a hint of surprise in his tone, but more of relief.

Lin Nan nodded slightly, acknowledging his breakthrough. "I just followed my own instinct and gained a little." He said calmly, as if all this was within his expectations.

The other Taoists looked at Lin Nan in shock. They had not yet recovered from this sudden change.

In their eyes, Lin Nan had long been an unfathomable existence, and the breakthrough at this moment made them feel unbelievable.

"Master, the Buddha from the West has retreated." The Six-Eared Macaque put away his loyal followers and said with some regret.

As one of the four monkeys, he was born active, with a fighting gene that he had nowhere to release. Now that he couldn't fight anymore, he naturally felt a little disappointed. (End of this chapter)
