Man is covering the sky, the system is perfect

when--!
The distant chimes seemed to emanate from the distant past, traversing time and space, cleansing the heavens and earth, carrying an indescribable sense of vastness and majesty.

The sound waves originated from the depths of the ancient city walls, which towered into the starry sky and resembled an ancient, timeless dragon.

Emperor Amitabha looked up, his gaze falling upon the mysterious torch atop the city wall, burning fiercely as if it had never been extinguished since the beginning of time.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and even with his great emperor-level mental cultivation, he couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face.

The reason is simple: the core of that torch, which was burning, was a skeleton surrounded by immortal radiance and exuding an aura that could crush eternity!
The Daoist aura and pressure emanating from it were even more powerful and terrifying than during his peak years, far exceeding the realm of a Great Emperor.

That was clearly... a true immortal!
That was an existence even more powerful and terrifying than Amitabha Buddha at his peak, an unparalleled realm that he had been searching for but had not yet truly reached.

However, the fact that such incredible remains of a powerful figure were thrown into a torch and burned like ordinary firewood is horrifying and mind-blowing!

At this moment, even an ancient giant like Amitabha Buddha couldn't help but feel a huge surge of emotions within his heart, and he secretly pounded his drum.

Not just him?

Throughout the heavens and the universe, all the supreme beings who are watching this scene through the endless void.

Whether they were ancient supreme beings in slumber or invincible beings of the present age, all felt their souls tremble and their hearts shake.

In the past, all the supreme emperors had an invincible belief and dared to compete with true immortals, even to the point of life and death. But that was a fearless display of heroism and a contest of Dao heart.

I have never seen, nor dared to imagine, that someone could regard the remains of a true immortal as a mortal match and use it to illuminate the city walls.
Such a display of skill goes beyond the word "shocking"; it is almost an overwhelming display of contempt for the Dao realm.

Although the Amitabha Buddha Emperor was overwhelmed with emotion and speechless with shock, he was ultimately a being who had endured countless eons and whose Daoist heart was unwavering.

Amidst this intense emotional turmoil, he managed to maintain a final measure of calm and insight.

With each blink of his eyes, a radiant light of Buddha-nature and wisdom flowed as he carefully examined the guards atop the city wall.

He is no longer the Amitabha Buddha Emperor of yesteryear, but a body of faith formed from the collective essence of countless beings. His ultimate goal is to ascend to heaven with all his believers.

Even in a seemingly hopeless situation, he would still try his best as long as there was even the slightest possibility.

He vowed that he would never turn back, even if it meant death.

If he succeeds, his own Dao fruit will be further perfected, and he may even ascend to the legendary realm of True Immortal.

If it cannot be completed, then it is simply a matter of life and death.

On the city wall, the patrolling figures were all shrouded in ancient and mottled armor.

Each person's aura was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss or a mountain.

Even the weakest among them exuded an aura of power surpassing that of a saint!
This is not surprising. In fact, without such cultivation, it would seem that the title of Immortal Realm is undeserved.

Such guards actually make people feel more relaxed. Not everyone in the Immortal Realm is an immortal; there are also people with "ordinary" cultivation and realm.

On the city wall, several figures stood like ancient demonic mountains, their aura dominating heaven and earth, coldly gazing down at the endless void below, surveying the heavens.

His power and influence were clearly those of an Emperor-level being on par with him!
The continuous emergence of several emperors and ancient sovereigns is comparable to the oldest and most powerful mythological period in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

The miracle of multiple emperors standing side by side only occurred in the mythological era, but in the immortal realm, this seems to be commonplace.

After all, just guarding this section of the city wall and a single city gate involved several emperors and ancient kings.

However, in his repeated observations and sensing, he indeed did not discover any life force that surpassed the Emperor level and truly belonged to the "Immortal" level.

The figure who previously went on a rampage of slaughtering ancient emperors and great emperors on the path to immortality doesn't seem to be here.

At the same time, he keenly sensed that the cultivation runes and Daoist aura flowing over these guards were completely different from the cultivation system of this world and universe, exuding an ancient and unfamiliar charm.

This met his expectations; people in the Immortal Realm should cultivate unique methods.

Strangely, as he gradually approached that colossal city that stretched across the starry sky, a strange sense of "closeness" arose within him.

It's not a blood connection, but more like a faint resonance under some grand rule.

Although the gazes from those on the city wall were icy and chilling, like cold stars looking down upon the common people, they did not reveal any real killing intent or hostility.

Even when Amitabha Buddha took a deep breath and tried to step forward, actively approaching.

On the city wall stood a general clad in dark gold imperial armor, exuding an especially intimidating aura.

The guardian general, clearly of the Supreme Emperor level, simply cast his gaze slowly, his voice as cold as the clash of ancient ice, yet devoid of any murderous intent, merely issuing a calm declaration.

"To enter this realm, one must pass through the 'Mirror of Observation'!"

These words were like a warm current breaking through the frozen Milky Way.

The taut strings of Amitabha Buddha's heart relaxed slightly.

It wasn't just him. At this moment, throughout the entire universe, all the ancient beings behind the divine thoughts that peered into this place through supreme magical power breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously.

Upon arriving at this forbidden land, which seemed to be the gateway to the immortal realm and held the secrets of immortality, the anticipated earth-shattering battle did not erupt.

What greeted them was not a devastating blow, but a relatively peaceful, access-testing mechanism.

This truly put the minds of all the supreme beings who had been watching with bated breath to rest.

After all, the shock of seeing the remains of a true immortal turned into torches was too terrifying.

Even the most fierce and domineering ancient emperors and kings, who considered themselves invincible in the mortal world, had no confidence that they could defeat the mysterious general guarding this place and the unfathomable power under his command.

Is it possible to step into a new world simply by passing the test?
This is undoubtedly a ray of hope in a desperate situation.

Of course, what they feared even more was that peerless figure who had killed more than ten ancient emperors and celestial beings in succession.

That figure was clearly not so friendly to the ancient emperors and supreme beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, or to this entire realm.

Now that the person in question is not here, does this mean there is a good opportunity?

Countless gazes were fixed intently on this scene, awaiting what would happen next.

The Great Emperor Amitabha pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with wisdom. He was not blinded by hope, but calmly asked the question that all the prying eyes were most concerned about.

"May I ask, General, how shall we test it?"
What will the 'Mirror of Observation' verify?
What if it doesn't pass?

On the city wall, the voice of the Imperial Armor Guardian remained cold, but unusually, he gave a more detailed response.

Its spiritual intent transcended language barriers, resonating clearly in the heart of Amitabha Buddha, and was also vaguely perceived by many powerful beings through the void.

"The mirror reflects the past and reveals the origin."

If you are a descendant of the Seven Kings, or a descendant of my ancient, primordial world who has been separated from my homeland, and your heart is set on your homeland, then you are willing to swear an oath to fight against darkness on the front lines of this foreign land.

Those whose soul and Dao foundation have not been corrupted by dark matter will be allowed to pass.

"The Primitive Ancient World?"

"Foreign land?"

"Dark matter?"

Ancient and unfamiliar words resounded like thunder in the hearts of Amitabha Buddha and all those who were watching.

Although the general's way of speaking was different from the common language of the world, it contained direct spiritual intent, making people instantly understand its true meaning.

That person even went on to explain further.

"If it's just that it doesn't meet the relevant standards, then return via the original route."

If a body or soul contains dark matter and harbors resentment towards our realm, then execute them on the spot!

This part feels even colder than the previous ones, but it also brings a sense of peace.

In the Buddha-land within the palm of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, hundreds of millions of believers looked up simultaneously, all of them filled with intense emotions.

The overwhelming power of faith roared like mountains and seas, surging wildly into the body of Amitabha Buddha Emperor, further enhancing his strength and abilities.

Because the promise made by the Great Emperor Amitabha when he attained his status as a Great Emperor was almost about to be fulfilled, and it was right before their eyes at this very moment. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, almost every ancient emperor and great emperor had slaughtered mountains of corpses and seas of blood before becoming a great emperor or ancient emperor.

He emerged from countless peerless geniuses of his generation, suppressing countless figures.

It could be said that he was standing on the corpses of hundreds of millions of people.

The only exception among all the ancient emperors and great emperors is Amitabha Buddha Emperor.

He never killed anyone before or after his enlightenment; he relied solely on the power of his faith to reach the end.

His promise made when he attained enlightenment still resonates throughout the world, attracting countless powerful cultivators as well as countless ordinary people to follow him.

Because the promise made by Amitabha Buddha was that he would gain the power and faith of all sentient beings.

He will not enjoy the glory alone; he will prove himself with boundless power, and after taking a step even stronger, he will forcefully enter the Immortal Realm.

And he won't go in alone; he'll bring everyone with him.

Now, the promise is almost fulfilled.

An ancient mirror, simple and unadorned, is inlaid on the city wall, shimmering slightly.

Even before the light faded, everyone felt immense pressure.

Because no one knows what will happen in this test, whether they will live or die.

But the ancient mirror, radiating an eternal and undying divine light, also revealed this to everyone.

This is no joke; this is a divine artifact.

When their fate was uncertain, Amitabha Buddha, who had a Bodhisattva-level figure under his command, volunteered to step forward and undergo the test first.

"I'll go first; you must carry our faith and strength with you..."

Before the person who had taken the initiative to step forward could finish speaking, he stopped talking as Amitabha Buddha's gaze fell upon him, unable to utter a word.

"I needed your power before I became an immortal, but now I am facing a test that I must undergo!"

When his fate was uncertain, Amitabha Buddha the Great displayed unprecedented magnanimity.

His entire body was glowing. He took a step forward and, as he fell, unleashed the right hand of the Buddha Kingdom in His Palm, facing the ancient mirror alone.

"Please let me go first!"

Everyone outside held their breath, while the leading general on the ancient wall coldly lowered his gaze.

With a flick of the fingertip, the ancient mirror revealed its most dazzling celestial light.

The celestial light poured down from above, sweeping across from the toes of Amitabha Buddha.

Wherever the celestial light swept, the entire toe and body seemed to become transparent.

The power was gentle yet firm, and at the same time, Amitabha Buddha sensed that the power was now being tested gently.

However, if any unforeseen event occurs, it can unleash its most terrifying light at any moment, capable of killing him instantly.

He accepted it calmly without resistance.

Within that light, he calmly said, "If I fail, please allow my followers to try one by one under the test!"

"If you're willing to try, you're welcome to!"

The general remained indifferent.

The light shone brightly, appearing slow, but in reality, it covered the head of Amitabha Buddha Emperor in a very short time.

At this moment, even the ancient emperors within the forbidden zones held their breath and dared not utter a word.

Because this is the most vulnerable spot for all cultivators; once the celestial platform is damaged, the primordial spirit will be injured.

Even if a true immortal were to descend to earth, there would be no way to save them.

In the silent and still atmosphere, even a moment seemed to be infinitely extended, and the light finally swept over the head of Amitabha Buddha.

Then all living beings in heaven and earth heard the whispers of the general guarding that level.

"Although the bloodline is gone, it can be discerned from the remaining light of the primordial spirit that you are a descendant of beings from my realm. There is no dark matter in your body, so you can enter my realm!"

boom!
When this statement was announced, it was as if a terrifying storm had been unleashed on the outside world.

The Void God Realm was in an uproar, and the six forbidden zones above the Big Dipper suddenly became restless, almost unable to sit still. Some ancient emperors and supreme beings wanted to rush out on the spot.

However, the path to immortality is still stable, and the corresponding changes have not completely stopped, so there are still people who can calmly and quietly observe.

A miracle that is rare in all time, just one step away from becoming an immortal.

At such a time, Amitabha Buddha, the Great Emperor, did not take the initiative to step forward amidst the attention of the masses.

Instead, he bowed to the general guarding the area and extended his right hand.

"Please examine my many believers!"

"They lifted me up to this point; now it is my turn to lift them up!"

"If they cannot all enter this realm, then I will turn back!"

The world fell silent.

Then the whole world fell into a rare silence.

Even though many beings in the world are not Buddhists, they are still moved and admire the founder of Buddhism when they see this scene.

The founder of Buddhism made a promise that he would bear the expectations of all beings and gain the strength in their hearts.

And he also gives back to all living beings.

Normally, it protects believers from all illnesses.

The ultimate goal is to elevate all believers into the celestial realm and allow the entire sect to ascend to immortality.

Most people take such promises and words as a joke, after all, Amitabha Buddha has already become the Great Emperor by relying on the power of all sentient beings, and usually gives back to them.

May they be protected from all illnesses and live a peaceful and carefree life.

Such a reward is enough for many practitioners.

After all, all that Heaven and Earth and all living beings give to Amitabha Buddha is a spark of inspiration and a bit of faith.

With such a small amount, you actually want to become an immortal? What a pipe dream!

Now that Amitabha Buddha has become an emperor, if he does not wish to keep his promise, no one can force him to.

As a result, before the path to immortality, Amitabha Buddha had already had the opportunity to become an immortal, but he still stopped here and insisted on fulfilling his promise.

Everyone waited quietly for the response from the general guarding this place, fearing that the words of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor might cause him to change his mind.

They even brutally killed Amitabha Buddha Emperor.

But that one was quite calm.

Even after that round of testing, his gaze towards Amitabha Buddha Emperor softened.

"If you pass the test, you can wait on the side without going inside!"

He responded calmly, then the ancient mirror drooped down, reflecting the right hand of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor.

Hundreds of millions of believers looked up simultaneously, as did hundreds of millions of cultivators throughout the nine heavens and ten earths, and even hundreds of millions of ordinary people, all gazing in this direction. (End of Chapter)
