The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 70 Adds Another Buddhist Protector

"You want me to give up this physical body?"

In the valley, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor had a gloomy expression and was furious, barely able to suppress his anger.

However, glancing at the imperial decree that Zhong Xu was playing with in his hand, he forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "I am the nineteenth generation descendant of our ancestor, the future hope of the Azure Emperor lineage. Is Your Majesty going to take action against me for the sake of an outsider?"

"The hope of the Azure Emperor's lineage?"

As Zhong Xu stroked the blue lotus pattern on the imperial decree in his hand, he gently shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, please be careful with your words. Senior Azure Emperor is still undergoing transformation and has not yet passed away. The hope of the Azure Emperor lineage will not fall on you."

At this point, Zhong Xu activated his profound internal energy, his aura changed, and a faint phantom of a chaotic azure lotus appeared on his body: "To put it another way, now that Senior Qingdi has entrusted me with the Supreme Emperor Weapon and the Emperor's Decree, allowing me to take charge of the affairs of the demon race, if we consider all of this, I am the future hope of the Qingdi lineage."

"This is... impossible."

Sensing the familiar aura emanating from Zhong Xu, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face filled with disbelief.

The Taoist in front of him was clearly a human before, so how did he change his race in the blink of an eye and exude the aura of the Azure Emperor's lineage, even more pure than his grandson, the Emperor?

"Nothing is Impossible."

Surrounded by illusory images of azure lotuses, Zhong Xu smiled faintly: "I have gained the approval of the Azure Emperor and wield the Chaos Azure Lotus. Who dares to say that I am not a descendant of the Azure Emperor's lineage!"

'this'

Upon hearing this, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor thought to himself, "Oh no, it really is true."

The ancestor, the Azure Emperor, was the embodiment of the immortal divine medicine, the Chaos Azure Lotus. He had no true direct descendants; these so-called descendants of the Azure Emperor were merely a race derived from the lotus seeds.

In fact, for the ancestor Qingdi, only the Chaos Green Lotus, the ultimate imperial weapon, was truly closely connected to him, as it was transformed from his true form.

The emperor before us has received the approval of our ancestors. He not only possesses the imperial decree bestowed by our ancestors, but also wields the Chaos Green Lotus. Now, he exudes the aura of the Azure Emperor's lineage.

Thinking of this, the pupils of the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor shrank slightly.

How come, when you look at it this way, the emperor in front of me seems to be the direct descendant of the Azure Emperor, while I am the collateral descendant?
As the thought crossed his mind, the 19th generation descendant of the Azure Emperor's gaze changed instantly. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting, his attitude undergoing a complete 180-degree turn: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. I misspoke."

At this point, a bitter look appeared on his face: "However, I hope Your Majesty knows that my physical body has long since collapsed, and my primordial spirit has also dissipated by more than half. Now, only a few primordial spirits remain to barely sustain me, and it is only thanks to the nourishment of the bloodline power within this half-demon youth that I have not completely dissipated."

"Once I leave the body of this half-demon boy, I'm afraid it won't be long before my primordial spirit dissipates and I return to dust."

His words were earnest, conveying an impression that he was forced into this situation.

'The primordial spirit that has mostly collapsed'

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xu's expression shifted slightly; he was all too familiar with this situation.

The first move of the Tathagata Palm, "I Am the Only One," refers only to the nature of living beings and is specifically designed to deal with this situation. Both the Martian Holy Body and the Azure Emperor, two Great Emperor-level beings, praised its effectiveness after using it.

Thinking of this, a look of compassion appeared on Zhong Xu's face. He put his hands together, and his body was surrounded by Buddhist light: "Amitabha, fellow Daoist, I have a method that can solve your predicament today. Would you like to learn it?"

'ah'

Seeing the sudden change in aura before him, as if it had transformed into the figure of a Buddha, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor was slightly stunned.

what happened?

Why has His Majesty's aura changed again?

Tao, Demon, Monster
Now it has transformed into a Buddha!

In this situation, he did not suffer from qi deviation. What imperial scripture is this emperor practicing?
Zhong Xu looked at him with a compassionate smile and did not urge him.

It took a long while for the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Green Emperor to come to his senses.

He shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, and said with a bitter smile, "Your Majesty, my primordial spirit has already collapsed by more than half, leaving only the path of possession as an option. Even if the Imperial Scripture were right in front of me, it would be impossible for me to cultivate it."

He himself cultivates the Imperial Scripture passed down from his ancestors, and does not believe that this emperor has any methods that can surpass the Imperial Scripture he has mastered.

"That's not necessarily true!"

At this point, Zhong Xu activated the true meaning of the "Buddha's Palm," and his body radiated a brilliant and pure Buddhist light, making everything around him appear somewhat illusory.

boom

The next moment, a golden Buddha appeared behind Zhong Xu, surrounded by various solemn and sacred Buddhist auras, carrying profound Buddhist principles.

Upon seeing this golden Buddha statue, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor felt his mind tremble, and a look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes, as if he had seen an unparalleled path.

'This is.'

As he comprehended the Buddhist aura flowing around the golden Buddha, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor was pleasantly surprised to find that his originally scattered primordial spirit seemed to be influenced by some special power and began to gradually solidify.

'How is this possible?'

Sensing the changes in his own primordial spirit, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Even the imperial scriptures left by his ancestors could not solve his current problems. Now, just seeing this golden Buddha and comprehending the Tao and principles contained within it has brought about such a great change.

What kind of magic is this?
It's even more powerful and profound than the Imperial Scripture?

Sensing the change in the expression of the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor, Zhong Xu's eyes shifted, and he activated the first move of the Tathagata Palm: I Am the Only One!

boom

Boundless Buddhist light shone forth, and the golden Buddha suddenly formed a mysterious Buddhist mudra, then pointed one hand to the sky and touched the ground with the other, carrying an infinitely vast meaning.

"Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme."

A grand Buddhist chant resounded, and Zhong Xu formed a mudra with his hands, his pale golden palm descending towards the brow of the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor. Seeing this pale golden palm descending upon him, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor felt a moment of disorientation, as if he had grasped the true meaning of Buddhism, and made no attempt to dodge.

Buzz

The Buddha's palm slowly descended, like an illusory palm, directly landing on the forehead and spiritual altar of the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor, transforming into a beam of Buddha's light that directly points to the nature of all living beings.

The next moment, a great light shone from the forehead of the nineteenth generation descendant of the Azure Emperor, and within it, two figures seemed to float and sink.

One was a somewhat illusory, collapsing blue lotus phantom, while the other was a burly phantom as strong as a bear.

The two seemed to coexist, but the illusory image of the blue lotus had the upper hand.

At this moment, as the Buddha's light flowed, the illusory image of the collapsing blue lotus flickered continuously, within which there was a flow that pointed directly to the nature of living beings, vaguely carrying a sense of reality, and began to solidify and stabilize.

Watching the changes in the primordial spirit of the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor, Zhong Xu also felt a strange sensation in his heart. His understanding of the divine power "I Am the Only One" became more profound, and he vaguely grasped a trace of the wonder of the true self.

After an unknown amount of time, the illusory image of the azure lotus solidified completely, transforming into a figure surrounded by Buddhist light—the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor.

Sensing the changes in his own primordial spirit, a hint of undisguised surprise appeared in his eyes.

The emperor was not deceiving him; this method could truly solve his problem of his primordial spirit disintegrating. He even vaguely sensed that this Buddhist light could allow his primordial spirit to undergo nirvana, giving him a chance to be reborn.

What incredible Buddhist supernatural powers!
With this thought in mind, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor respectfully bowed deeply to Zhong Xu: "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."

At this moment, he completely accepted the emperor before him.

At the same time, perhaps due to the influence of that divine power, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor had a compassionate and peaceful expression, and felt a genuine respect for the emperor before him.

Seeing the change in the temperament of the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor, Zhong Xu's eyes revealed a look of "I knew it."

"My guess was right. The true meaning of the 'Buddha's Palm' will instinctively influence other living beings, allowing them to understand the principles of Buddhism and awaken to their own true nature. It truly is true that everyone possesses Buddha-nature, and everyone can become a Buddha!"

Thinking of this, Zhong Xu smiled and said, "This is what I should do as the Demon Emperor. You can temporarily reside in Pang Bo's body and comprehend this divine power. When I achieve mastery in the future, I will reshape your physical body and allow you to fully recover."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

With a calm tone, he bowed and the primordial spirit of the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor retreated into the deepest part of Pang Bo's spiritual platform, where he fell into complete silence.

As the primordial spirit of the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor subsided, Pang Bo's consciousness was released, and he regained control over his own body.

"Thank you, Master."

Although trapped in the Lingtai, Pang Bo and the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor were in a symbiotic relationship, so he was not completely unaware of the situation outside. Naturally, he knew that it was the master in front of him who had saved him.

"No need to be polite!"

Zhong Xu waved his hand and chuckled, "The demon bloodline within you has also awakened because of this incident. For you, it can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Inside the pavilion in the valley.

Ye Fan was surrounded by a group of female demons, pondering how to get rid of them.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Ye Zi."

"Pangbo."

Ye Fan was startled and quickly turned his gaze, where he saw a familiar figure.

At this moment, he could no longer care about getting entangled with the female demons beside him, and stood up excitedly.

Then, he strode up to Pang Bo, gave him a big hug, and looked him up and down with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Looking at Ye Fan, Pang Bo was visibly agitated, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"It's all over."

Patting Pang Bo on the shoulder, Ye Fan felt a pang of sadness.

The two came from the other side of the starry sky, went through many things together, and now they have finally overcome their hardships and achieved happiness.

After resolving Pang Bo's matter, Zhong Xu was finally rid of his last problem.

In the time that followed, he turned a deaf ear to everything else and devoted himself wholeheartedly to completing his own cultivation.

Although the Qingdi lineage is now in decline, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Compared to those ancient aristocratic families and great sects, it is nothing, but for a small sect like Lingxu Cave Heaven, it is a behemoth.

With the support of the Azure Emperor lineage and the abundant life force provided by the Azure Emperor's heart, Zhong Xu is not lacking in cultivation resources.

Therefore, he completely immersed himself in his cultivation life:

Cultivate the Dao Palace Scroll of the Dao Scripture, nurture the five divine treasures of the Dao Palace Secret Realm, evolve the five deities, and complete the cultivation of the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

Comprehend the Dao and principles contained within the Chaos Green Lotus, compare them with the Dao One principle recorded in the Taiyi Golden Chapter, and grasp the true meaning of this peerless divine skill.

To comprehend the true meaning of the "Buddha's Palm" technique, deepen one's understanding of the true meaning of the "I am the only one who is supreme" move, and enhance one's awareness of one's true self.

By practicing the "Demon Buddha Profound Art" and the "Eight-Nine Profound Art," and comparing the principles of Buddha and Demon, and Buddha and Tao contained in these two peerless divine arts, one can enhance their mastery of the two aspects of Buddha and Demon within themselves.

At the same time, as Zhong Xu's secret realm technique improved, his life essence became incredibly abundant, and his cultivation speed for the One Lifetime Technique also increased accordingly.

In this life of cultivation, Zhong Xu's cultivation level gradually increased, and he underwent a transformation little by little.
