Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 242 [Nirvana in Silence, the Dao Stained by Demons and Gods] (Please Subscribe)

Beyond the primordial wilderness, in the endless chaos, two figures traversed the sky, with starlight flowing beneath their feet. They were none other than Yang Mei and the God of Music, who had disappeared earlier.

But before they could get close to the primordial world, they saw a long river of sword energy blocking their way, and four auras of saints sealed off the four directions.

"So they were Hongjun's disciples!"

Yangmei the Great Immortal didn't take it seriously: "If it were Hongjun himself who made the move, I might have some reservations!"

"As for you..."

Before he finished speaking, the power of space transformed into a great river, sweeping across all directions and devouring the Tongtian Sect Master's sword energy river in an instant.

"Not qualified!"

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader and others had also experienced twenty reincarnations, how could they, living in the Primordial True Realm, know the vastness of the Chaotic Universe?

In the chaos, dangers lurk everywhere. In some perilous places, even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal is in danger of perishing. Yet, Yang Mei's experiences and understanding of the Great Dao while traveling through these dangerous places far surpass those of the Tongtian Sect Master and others.

"You'll know once you try!"

Before the Tongtian Sect Leader could speak, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable could no longer contain himself. He waved the Pangu Banner, and the Chaos Sword Qi instantly annihilated all things in space and time. Creation and destruction coexisted, and with boundless power, it fiercely struck towards Yang Mei.

Taiqing Laozi did not stand idly by. The Taiji Diagram burst forth with brilliant divine light, freezing the surrounding space and time. He then unleashed the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones technique.

The main deity wears the Taiqing Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda on his head and holds the supreme treasure Taiji Diagram. His other three incarnations also wield various spiritual treasures to unleash their most powerful attacks.

With one hand holding the Bagua Furnace and the other holding a banana leaf fan, the Taoist Taiqing conjured up endless Samadhi True Fire and Six Ding Divine Fire in the void with a slight thought.

The Jade Purity Daoist, wielding a coiled dragon-patterned cane, caused the entire universe to tremble with a mere gesture; it was none other than the Heaven-Opening Seal, one of the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning created by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Meanwhile, the Taoist Shangqing, wielding the Seven Star Sword, unleashed the Nine Swords of Heaven-Slaying. Judging from his appearance, he truly possessed seven or eight parts of the style of the Tongtian Sect Master.

When the Three Pure Ones faced off against the Great Immortal Yangmei, the Guide Daoist was not idle either. He manifested the Henghe Dream Realm and single-handedly held off the Music Demon God.

The Music Demon God had only recently been resurrected and had not yet recovered to his peak strength. Although his methods were strange, they were just right to be countered by the Guide Daoist.

[Sound Kill]

The terrifying sound wave swept across the surroundings in an instant, and a large number of chaotic stars exploded, but they vanished without a trace just before they touched the Guide Daoist.

[Upside-down Dreams]

This is a supernatural power that the Guide Daoist comprehended from the Dream Dao. This supernatural power has taken the transformation of falsehood into truth and the turning of illusion into reality to the extreme.

However, at the same time, one can also transform the real into the unreal, and turn all means that are detrimental to oneself into a bubble in the Henghe Dream Realm.

In matters of great importance concerning the safety of the primordial world, the Guide Daoist worked very hard, displaying many methods that had never been revealed to the public before.

【Great Sumeru Mudra】

The Guide Daoist manifested his golden body of Nirvana, and with a single palm strike, Buddhist light illuminated the three thousand worlds, while the illusory image of Mount Sumeru unleashed its power to suppress everything.

The music demon hurriedly retreated.

The power revealed by this strike was extremely terrifying; it could swallow the Chaos Sea, contain Mount Sumeru, and encompass trillions of spaces and times with a single palm strike from the Guide Daoist.

However, as a Chaos Demon God, the Sound Demon God was not to be trifled with. In an instant, world-destroying sounds capable of tearing apart the entire universe resounded.

When the first thunderclap resounded in the chaotic universe, the first sound also echoed throughout the chaos, and the God of Music was born from it.

Therefore, the power of the Music God ranks in the upper-middle level among the many Chaos Gods.

Boom!

The chaos exploded instantly, and the beings connected to the guide in Henghe's dream were also struck by lightning, even beginning to collapse into countless light and shadow.

But the Guide remained calm and unhurried. A sense of annihilation permeated the universe, and the illusions of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and countless Buddhist kingdoms appeared. Life and death, death and life, restored everything in the dream world to its original state.

"Good! Good!"

He looked at the God of Music and chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to convert? With Pangu and the Dao Ancestor here, there's no future in being a Chaos God. Why not join my Buddhist sect? This humble monk can grant you the status of a Buddha!"

"The younger generation is arrogant!"

The God of Music was not appreciative. Although Hongjun and Luohou chose to merge into the Primordial True Realm, not all Chaos Gods had the same idea.

"Ah!"

With a mighty roar, the God of Music unleashed a heaven-shaking sound that resounded throughout the chaotic void, unleashing a supreme and mighty power from his body.

Although the God of Music was mostly in a state of losing himself, through constant reincarnation, he also managed to simulate a portion of Pangu's methods.

This sound of creation is a new divine power he comprehended during his continuous fall, and it already possesses a magnificent and awe-inspiring grandeur.

Seeing this, the Guide Daoist also became solemn, and summoned the Guide Treasure Banner, which directly manifested thousands of Buddhist kingdoms in the chaos.

The Buddha's realm is subject to birth and death, radiating boundless light, yet it possesses a power of annihilation that seeks to pull everything in the void into eternal silence and nothingness.

Nirvana and Tranquility

In an instant, all was silent. Even the creation music of the God of Music vanished without a trace in the face of this strange power of annihilation.

Upon seeing this, the God of Music's expression turned grim. This was almost his strongest technique at the moment, yet it still couldn't defeat the Guide.

This really made him lose face.

Because, deep down, he had never truly valued these saints of the Primordial Realm.

The guide remained expressionless and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, now, would you like to consider the suggestion I just made?"

He actually had some ideas of his own.

In this era, Houtu successfully attained enlightenment, and Nuwa even attained sainthood twice. The格局 (structure/pattern) of the Primordial Realm will inevitably be impacted like never before, and it will be impossible to restore the Heavenly Dao.

He and the Daoist Zhunti also had some plans, wanting to cultivate the chosen one of the West's destiny and have Maitreya inherit the Dao fruit of Taiqing...

Ultimately, before a plan succeeds, it is just a plan. Even if someone has the potential to become a sage, it doesn't mean they can truly attain the fruits of sagehood!

Otherwise, how could only a few saints be born in twenty cycles of reincarnation?

Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, Kunpeng, Di Jun, Dong Wanggong, Xi Wangmu... Which of these beings is inferior to him and Zhunti Daoist in terms of aptitude?

Therefore, after seeing the resurrection of the Musical Demon God, the Guide Daoist wondered if he could try to win over a fallen Chaos Demon God.

The Dao Ancestor was also a reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God. Since the Dao Ancestor could clear his name and take control of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, then other Chaos Demon Gods could naturally do the same.

As for Rahu...

That madman, even if he gets out of the water, he won't settle down. He can't be cleared of all wrongdoing!

Yang Mei Daxian is too powerful, and Jieyin Daoren dares not win him over. If he agrees, will the future of Western Buddhism be decided by Yang Mei Daxian, or by him and Zhunti Daoren?

The God of Music would be more suitable.

His actual strength is above average among the Chaos Demon Gods, but with the accumulation of twenty reincarnations, the Guide Daoist is still confident that he can control him!

"dream!"

The God of Music, however, simply didn't buy it.

Although his strength was not among the top among the Chaos Demon Gods, in his eyes, the Saints like Jieyin were just juniors who inherited Pangu's legacy, so how could they be qualified to let him join the so-called Buddhist sect?

Moreover, since Yang Mei Daxian helped him return from the calamity of losing himself, he has already promised to help Yang Mei Daxian explore the secrets of the cycle of reincarnation!

Why would they covet the Buddha's attainment?

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this, the Guide Daoist let out a soft sigh: "Since that's the case, then Fellow Daoist of Music, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Before he finished speaking, a phantom of a desolate place appeared behind the Guide, in which only a square, Mount Sumeru-like divine mountain stood tall.

As the guiding Daoist's mind stirred slightly, the majestic divine mountain transformed into a large seal, radiating an indescribable aura upon the mortal world.

【Amitabha Mudra】

Like the Three Pure Ones, the Guide Daoist also has his own treasure for attaining enlightenment. However, unlike the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable, whose treasures are located before the creation of the world and at the end of all ages respectively, his treasure for attaining enlightenment is not like the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable.

Although he, like Lingbao Tianzun, sought the end of annihilation, it was not a simple annihilation, but rather a pursuit of revival within annihilation.

In the Ganges Dream Realm, he reenacted countless eons, constantly refining the false into the real, and finally forged a treasure of enlightenment—the Amitabha Seal—that lies between reality and illusion, symbolizing annihilation and rebirth!

The Great Sumeru Mudra he used earlier was actually a profound reflection of the Amitabha Mudra, but its power was far less than one-tenth of the true Amitabha Mudra.

In an instant, the Buddha's light shone everywhere, and the Amitabha Seal manifested from the void, condensing the essence of heaven and earth, and pressed down with unparalleled power.

"not good!"

The Demon God of Music's expression changed drastically. He used all his supernatural powers to flee, but he was still instantly and severely injured by the Amitabha Seal, which contained the meaning of endless annihilation.

This is a wound to the Great Dao, which cannot be healed in a short time. He can only keep dodging and try to remove the power of annihilation from the origin of the Great Dao.

But this power of annihilation, like a persistent carbuncle, gradually seeped into his Dao, seemingly trying to drag him into eternal annihilation.

"The Way is Dyed!"

For some reason, a certain term suddenly appeared in the mind of the Music Demon God.

The essence of the Chaos Demon Gods is that of the Primordial Golden Immortal, coexisting with the Dao. Even if someone can suppress and kill them with absolute power, the Great Dao will not perish and the Chaos Demon Gods will not die. Even if they perish, one day they can re-manifest with the help of the Great Dao.

But Dao Ran is different. He uses one great path to influence another, which could very well bring about a fundamental change in that path.

For example, the Great Dao of Music was originally governed by the Demon God of Music, but if it is corrupted by the Dao, this Great Dao may recognize the Guide Daoist as its master.

If the Great Dao of Music had consciousness, it would realize that the Guide Daoist is the true Demon God of Music.

"Yang Mei, save me!"

Having finally returned from the calamity of losing himself, the God of Music naturally did not want to fall into a state of annihilation, and immediately asked the Great Immortal Yangmei for help.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mei frowned slightly. He hadn't expected the Music Demon God to be so useless that he couldn't even deal with a Daoist guide!

We need his help!

However, considering the task required of the God of Music, he was quite dissatisfied, but he still unleashed a powerful divine ability without hesitation.

[Large Space Technique]

In an instant, the Great Dao of Space materialized, chaos surged, dimensions were created and destroyed, and even Laozi of Taiqing could no longer hold the void!

The figures of the Three Pure Ones were instantly covered by the spatial waves, and one of the spatial waves just happened to sweep the Music Demon God to his side.

The Tongtian Sect Leader's expression immediately turned ugly.

In terms of sheer killing power, he was confident that he would not lose to Yang Mei the Great Immortal, but unfortunately, he could not find Yang Mei the Great Immortal's true body in any time or space!

Although Yang Mei's figure was always in front of them, it was merely a reflection of the Great Dao of Space; his true form might be in another dimension.

He intended to unleash the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and, with the aid of the End Sword Qi, sweep across every dimension, but new dimensions were born every moment.

Yang Mei the Great Immortal laughed and said, "Even before I attained enlightenment, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation couldn't trap me! Now that I'm a Chaos Grand Luo Golden Immortal, wielding the Great Dao of Space, how could I possibly be bound by a mere Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation?"

The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning also looked very bad. In order to deal with Yang Mei, he repeatedly activated the ultimate secret of the Pangu Banner, "Heaven and Earth Grief Together," but Yang Mei used the Great Dao of Space to transfer it to the front of Taiqing Laozi and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

The causes of the fruits he was so proud of have also lost their former effectiveness, as if the imprint and cause and effect of Yangmei Daxian exist in every time and space.

Meanwhile, fearing Yang Mei's retribution, Xuan Yin, after severing the Jianmu tree, did not hesitate to hide in the Zixiao Palace where the Dao Ancestor was located.

This is the safest place.

At that moment, he also noticed the great battle within the chaos and couldn't help but speak up, "Grandmaster, aren't you going to intervene?"

Even with the Three Pure Ones and the Guide Daoist, it seems they couldn't do anything to that Great Immortal Yangmei.

"No rush!"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun remained calm: "It's good to let them suffer a great loss. Only by suffering a loss will they learn to be respectful!"
