The Fuxi Road of the Heavens Beginning from the Immortal Realm

Chapter 287 The Meeting Between the Two Sides: The Progenitor of Schemes
"Buddha!"

"Fellow Daoist Buddha!"

"how come?"

Upon seeing this monk with a topknot and spiral-shaped hair, everyone's expressions changed, revealing their own unique reactions.

The Heavenly Emperor of Time asked with a bewildered look, "Buddha, haven't you already achieved the Dao Fruit and transcended it?"

He is the most qualified to speak on the matter of Buddha's transcendence.

When the Jianmu tree bore fruit, it was rumored to help one transcend mortality. The Heavenly Emperor of Time originally intended to conceal this fact and use it to elevate himself, making himself an ancient being.

Once He succeeds, He will be able to break free from the constraints of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Moral Heavenly Venerable, becoming a true Heavenly Emperor who dominates the world, and even achieve the Dao Fruit position before the end of the era, thus escaping the fate of perishing with the end of the era.

Unexpectedly, this matter was exposed by the Demon Buddha Ananda, who was also the ancient Thunder God, which led to a struggle among many ancient beings.

However, the ancient beings, led by Yuanshi Tianzun, beat Him up and destroyed the Nine Heavens. After seeing the Jianmu fruit, they said, "It doesn't depend on external things," and turned to leave.

It was as if a group of robbers had broken into the home of the Time Emperor, beaten him half to death, ransacked the place, and then said, "You've got the wrong person!"

For the Emperor of Time, this was incredibly frustrating and miserable!
In the end, the fruit of the Jianmu tree was obtained by the Buddha, who helped him perfect his path to enlightenment and thus transcend.

In the heart of the Heavenly Emperor of Time, this opportunity for transcendence should have originally belonged to him.

Therefore, He reacts most strongly to the appearance of the Buddha.

"Hey"

Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Emperor of Time, the Buddha glanced at Him with a profound look, clasped his hands together, and sighed softly, "The path to enlightenment does not rely on external things."

Buddha was also very frustrated. He thought the fruit of the Jianmu tree was an opportunity for transcendence, but who knew it was a trap.

To outsiders, He had completed the process of reducing and seeking emptiness, and attained the position of the Dao fruit.

Only He Himself knew that He had only transcended half of it and had not truly succeeded.

Not only did they fail, but they were also completely restricted. They couldn't even make a move at will, let alone continue pursuing the path to enlightenment. It was as if they had been locked up in a dark room.

"what?"

After listening to the Buddha's narration and feeling His gaze, the Emperor of Time was slightly taken aback. The difference between the Daoist and the Buddha after their transcendence came to mind, and he vaguely understood something.

'The fruit of the Jianmu tree is a trap, a trap specifically prepared for Yuanshi Tianzun and his followers!'

As this thought arose in his mind, the Emperor of Time looked at the Buddha with a different gaze, now tinged with a hint of sympathy.

Feeling the gaze of the Time Emperor, the Buddha's lips twitched slightly, but he did not say anything more.

"Fellow Daoist Buddha!"

The Supreme Lord of Morality, who was standing nearby, was already aware of the Buddha's current state, so he wasn't surprised. Instead, he asked, "How did you end up here? Aren't you..."

The Buddha should be in a special state between existence and non-existence, and should not be able to truly manifest in the world.

They had already made a deal with the Buddha, agreeing to help him break free from his current state and start anew when he attained liberation in the future.

"Good, good!"

The Buddha clasped his hands together, a slight smile appearing on his face: "This is all thanks to Fellow Daoist Fuxi!"

Turning his gaze, he gave Feng Yi a slight Buddhist bow: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi's power to traverse the heavens is indeed extraordinary, allowing this old monk to temporarily escape that special state. This old monk thanks you!"

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Venerable of Morality's gaze shifted slightly, and his look towards Feng Yi became even more profound.

Even a Buddha who had reached the half-realm of enlightenment could be affected!
"Fellow Daoist Buddha, you are too kind!"

Feng Yi had now figured out the reason for Buddha's appearance, and casually returned the greeting: "Fellow Daoist and I are just mutually beneficial. Fellow Daoist's appearance is just in time. With Fellow Daoist Buddha here, we are more confident in dealing with the strange race."

'really!'

Hearing Feng Yi's words, everyone nodded.

Although Buddha has now gone astray and is not considered to have attained true enlightenment, his realm and combat power have indeed surpassed the level of the Other Shore.

Even the oldest being, such as the Moral God, is far from being His match.

With this Buddha who has reached the half-Dao Fruit level present, unless the owner of the ashes comparable to the Dao Fruit level is resurrected, they will surely be able to suppress the strange race, obtain the ashes left by the supreme being comparable to the Dao Fruit level, and thereby comprehend another mystery comparable to the Dao Fruit level.

These are the true ashes left behind by a Dao Fruit expert, not some so-called byproduct left behind by the Dao Venerable when he sought emptiness.

Just as everyone was discussing the details of how to deal with the strange race, they suddenly seemed to sense something and looked towards the River of Time.

A faint smile appeared in Feng Yi's eyes as he said softly, "It seems that fellow Daoists from all the heavens have appeared!"

Not long after he finished speaking, the river of time and space became hazy, as if a sword light had flashed, and a heroic man appeared before everyone.

Sensing the familiar aura emanating from the man, Feng Yi felt a sense of understanding.

'Is Shi Hao almost about to enter the realm of sacrificial arts?'

This heroic man is none other than Shi Hao, the founder of the species system and the son of the great calamity of the previous era.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Hao!"

Seeing Shi Hao's figure stop, Feng Yi stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting: "We meet again!"

"The torch."

Upon arriving at this place, before he could even speak, Shi Hao's expression faltered slightly as he looked at the many figures around him and sensed the unpredictable aura contained within them.

He was especially startled when he saw the monk with a topknot and a compassionate expression.

How can there be so many powerful individuals?

Looking at these powerful figures whom he had never heard of before, Shi Hao felt a sense of doubt.

The key point is that he hadn't sensed the presence of these powerful figures at all before, as if some mysterious force had formed a vast net of heavenly secrets, concealing everything.

Finally, Shi Hao turned his gaze to Feng Yi and asked, "Fellow Daoist Xin Huo, who are these fellow Daoists?"

"Fellow Daoist Shi Hao, my real name is Fuxi."

Seeing the change in Shi Hao's expression, Feng Yi chuckled and pointed to the sky: "Fellow Daoist, do you know that beyond our heavens, in the boundless chaotic sea, there actually exist many different heavens?"

"The rest of the heavens"

A thoughtful look appeared in Shi Hao's eyes, as if he had thought of something, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Xin Fuxi, do you mean that these fellow Daoists are all from the other heavens?"

If that's the case, then everything makes sense, including why this Fellow Daoist Fuxi suddenly possessed such great strength.

"Yes."

Feng Yi nodded: "I once entered the Chaos Sea beyond our heavens and traveled to other heavens. These fellow Daoists are the helpers I invited from those heavens to deal with the strange race on the plateau."

"An ally in dealing with the strange race?"

Shi Hao's expression shifted slightly. He took a deep breath, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes. The more he fought against the strange race in the highlands, the more he understood their power.

It's simply impossible for him to truly quell the strange race on his own.

Now that so many powerful figures have suddenly appeared to help him, how could he not be overjoyed?

After Feng Yi gave a detailed account of the strength of the Buddha and the Moral Celestial Venerable around him, even Shi Hao, with his composure, couldn't help but gasp.

Although these fellow Daoists cultivated different systems from his, they were all powerful figures comparable to Immortal Emperors, and some of them even surpassed him in realm. In particular, the monk with a fleshy topknot and a compassionate face was extremely powerful.

After years of arduous battles, the sudden appearance of so many powerful figures as allies felt like a dream to Shi Hao, almost unreal.

After glancing at Shi Hao, Feng Yi seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Fellow Daoist Shi Hao, do you know the origins of the Highland Calamity Land and the strange race?"

'Um? '

Sensing Feng Yi's tone, Shi Hao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at him: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, do you know the origins of the Highland Calamity Land and the Strange Clan?"

Nodding, Feng Yi didn't hide anything and began to explain the origins of the highland's perilous land and the strange race.

These secrets far exceeded Shi Hao's imagination.

After listening to Feng Yi's story, a look of bewilderment appeared on his face.

'The ashes left behind by a supreme being who transcended the realm of ritualism'

Shi Hao was at a loss for words. He had never imagined that the so-called strange race would have such an absurd origin.

The ashes left behind by a single supreme being have caused such great damage to all the heavens and myriad worlds!

Feng Yi's words did not stop despite Shi Hao's change in expression; he continued to recount the situation of the strange race:

"Sleeping within the high plateau and treacherous lands are ten progenitors who have entered the realm of sacrificial arts, and ten Immortal Emperors at the end of their paths."

"Because of the strange substance formed from the ashes of that supreme being, even if the powerful members of these strange races are killed, they can be resurrected on the plateau."

At this point, sensing the change in everyone's expressions, Feng Yi added another bombshell: "Moreover, over countless years, due to the continuous permeation of the ashes left by that supreme being, the entire Plateau of Calamity has given birth to a will. The entire Plateau of Calamity can now be considered a supreme being that transcends the realm of sacrificial arts."

"what?"

Shi Hao was startled.

How could a will have been born from the harsh soil of the high plateau?
Is it even more powerful than the ancestor who entered the realm of sacrificial rituals?

Thinking of this, Shi Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, secretly glad that he hadn't rashly entered the high-altitude wilderness.

Otherwise, his fate would definitely not be good!
Not only Shi Hao, but also the Moral Celestial Venerable and others showed extremely solemn expressions upon hearing that a will had been born in the high plateau of Calamity, which was equivalent to an existence that had transcended the realm of sacrificial rites.

They were not afraid of those strange progenitors, after all, these people had been corrupted by the ashes of the dead to reach a level similar to theirs.

They were confident that their fighting strength was absolutely no less than that of these beings who depended on external resources.

Even if they are outnumbered, they will not be easily defeated given their methods.

However, the entire highland of E'tu actually gave birth to a will, becoming an existence that transcends the realm of sacrificial rites, which is something they cannot contend with.

After all, the further one progresses in cultivation and the further one goes towards the ultimate goal of the Great Dao, the greater the gap between each realm becomes.

This is something that cannot be compensated for by any external means.

With that thought in mind, everyone's eyes turned to the Buddha.

To contend against the highland of Calamity, which has given birth to a will, perhaps only a being like Buddha, who has reached the level of a half-realm fruit, could do so.

"Good, good!"

The Buddha clasped his hands together and softly uttered a Buddhist chant: "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, rest assured, this old monk will certainly not shirk his duty!"

Even Amitabha Buddha and the Daoist Zhunti could discover that the cultivation system of the heavens in this world was in line with Buddhism. How could the Buddha, who had attained half-realm enlightenment, not have noticed it?

It could even be said that His understanding was even deeper, and that the path to the ultimate emptiness of all things in this world was almost tailor-made for Buddhism.

This might be an opportunity for Him to achieve the Great Dao without having to break down his cultivation level and start over, so He naturally wanted to seize it.

Let alone the will born from the ashes of the high plateau soil, even if the ashes themselves become spirits, they will still go to subdue demons and monsters.

"hehe."

Sensing everyone's urgency, Feng Yi chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need for you all to be so anxious. I've temporarily concealed the secrets of heaven, and the plateau can't detect our presence yet. We can discuss how to deal with the strange race."

"I think we should first capture one of the strange progenitors, study the power contained within him, and thereby glimpse the essence contained in the ashes left behind by that supreme being."

Feng Yi's current realm is not far from the realm of sacrificial rites. If he can obtain the ashes of the bronze coffin master contained within the body of the strange ancestor, he may be able to comprehend something new from it, thereby completing the sacrificial rites and truly entering the realm of sacrificial rites.

Even others, including Buddha and Shi Hao, can gain some insights from it, making it easier for them to deal with the strange race later on.

Otherwise, if they stubbornly confront the Plateau Calamity head-on, even if Buddha could truly fight against the Plateau Calamity that has given birth to a will, the ten strange progenitors who can be resurrected from the dead would not be so easy to deal with.

"Capture a bizarre progenitor?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all showed expressions of interest.

After some discussion, everyone finally turned their attention to Shi Hao:
"Fellow Daoist Shi Hao, it seems we still need you to lure the strange progenitor out of the plateau."

Once the strange progenitor is lured out of the plateau, everyone will swarm in, and with the Buddha, a half-realized being, surely they can take down a strange progenitor?
With the bizarre progenitor as their experimental subject, everyone can research and discover what they want from it.

At that time, those who need to improve their cultivation will do so, and those who need to research the path will research the path; everyone will benefit.

Shi Hao glanced at everyone, his eyes twitching slightly, and he suddenly had a strange feeling.

Even though we're supposed to be dealing with the strange race and restoring peace to the heavens, why do I feel like my side isn't exactly the good guys?

Shaking his head to dispel the strange thoughts in his mind, Shi Hao said, "Don't worry, leave everything to me."

After discussing the specific details, Shi Hao disappeared and began to implement the plan to lure the strange progenitor out of the plateau.

Seeing Shi Hao's figure leave, Feng Yi looked at Buddha and the others and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, you should also be very interested in this universe. You can go and explore it."

In any case, for beings of their level, a single thought can traverse infinite space and time, so there is no need to worry about missing the opportunity to besiege the strange progenitor.

"That's fine!"

The Supreme Being nodded: "I have just discovered a special version of myself."

The moment the words left his mouth, the figure of the Moral Celestial disappeared from the spot.

Upon seeing this, Buddha and the others also disappeared one after another, leaving only Feng Yi and Nuwa in the end.

"Sister, let's go and see this universe too."

"Ah."
