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

"waste!"

But at that moment, a familiar voice resounded deep within Chi Jingzi's consciousness.

"As a disciple of my Chan Sect, how can I back down even when facing an opponent stronger than you? Let him witness the methods of my Chan Sect!"

Within the Chan Sect, there is undoubtedly only one person qualified to speak to Chi Jingzi in such a manner, and that is the sage who founded the Chan Sect—Yuanshi Tianzun—"Teacher!"

Chi Jingzi was filled with fear, but when he saw the two spiritual treasures that suddenly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, he was filled with boundless confidence.

Pangu Banner!

Auspicious clouds fill the heavens!

The marriage alliance with Shennong's daughter was part of Yuanshi Tianzun's plan for the future, and he naturally kept a close eye on the actions of the Chan Sect disciples.

To be honest, he was somewhat disappointed with the performance of Chi Jingzi and the others!

There's no other reason than this!

Perhaps due to being bound by rules and etiquette, the disciples of the Chan Sect were far inferior to the direct disciples of the Jie Sect in terms of spirit and temperament!

As Xuan Yin said, he can touch the Primordial Imprint, so why don't you guys try to prove the Second Generation Supreme and the Second Generation Spiritual Treasure?

If someone in the Chan Sect could prove the existence of the second-generation Supreme Being, then why would Laozi of Taiqing go to such lengths to make Maitreya his successor?

If someone can prove the existence of a second-generation spiritual treasure, they can also subtly demonstrate the way of the Chan Sect, allowing the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to turn the tables on the Tongtian Sect Master!

However, they lacked the willpower to take that step!

"Auspicious clouds from all heavens, appear!"

Upon hearing the voice of the Primordial Celestial Lord, Chi Jingzi did not hesitate at all and immediately summoned the Celestial Celebration Clouds bestowed by the Primordial Celestial Lord.

In an instant, endless golden lamps and necklaces appeared from the void, emitting brilliant light. No matter how Kong Xuan's Five Elements and Five Cycles Divine Light rotated, it firmly protected Chi Jingzi, making him impervious to all magic.

This extraordinary treasure of the Heavenly Dao was formed from the righteous energy in Pangu's heart. In terms of defensive power, it surpasses the Five Banners of the Primordial Heaven and Earth and the Twelve-Petaled Lotus Platform. Only the Primordial Supreme Treasure Chaos Bell and the once First Defensive Treasure of the Acquired Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda can surpass it.

But now, with the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda being divided by the Tongtian Sect Master using the cause and effect of Pangu, the Zhutian Qingyun has become the second defensive treasure of the prehistoric world.

Although Xuan Yin's Luo Tian Qing Yun was modeled after the Zhu Tian Qing Yun, whether its defensive capabilities surpass those of the Zhu Tian Qing Yun still needs to be verified.

However, now that Chi Jingzi has unleashed the Heavenly Celebration Clouds, he should be in an invincible position!

"Was it my second senior uncle who interfered?"

Xuan Yin didn't think that, under normal circumstances, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable would bestow auspicious clouds upon all the heavens.

If it were Chi Jingzi, who already possessed the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, how could he have watched Dao Xing Tianzun and the others being swept away by Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light?

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin immediately turned to Kong Xuan and said in a low voice, "Junior brother, your Five-Colored Divine Light should not be able to break through Chi Jingzi's Celestial Celebration Clouds. Would you like me to lend you the Primordial Measuring Ruler?"

"No need!"

Kong Xuan remained arrogant: "I originally intended to give Chi Jingzi some face!"

"If we can't break through, then we can't break through!"

But the next moment, his expression changed. Behind Chi Jingzi, a chaotic-colored banner appeared—the legendary treasure, the Pangu Banner, and its name, "Opening Heaven Blade!"

Chi Jingzi's cultivation was limited, and he could not activate the power of the Pangu Banner, but the Pangu Banner's status as a supreme innate treasure was enough to suppress everything.

Boom!

Endless chaotic sword energy emerged from the void, shattering all laws. Kong Xuan's five-colored divine light barely managed to brush away a few sword energies before reaching its limit.

He could only unleash the full power of the Five-Colored Divine Light while simultaneously sending a telepathic message to Xuan Yin: "How about you lend me the Primordial Measuring Ruler, Senior Brother?"

Although Kong Xuan was arrogant, he was also aware of the power of innate treasures. His Five-Colored Divine Light might be comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but he had no chance of winning against an innate treasure.

unless----

One day, he will become a Heavenly Saint or a Primordial Golden Immortal, transforming his Five-Colored Divine Light into a Primordial-level divine power.

"hehe!"

Xuan Yin immediately transmitted his voice, saying, "Junior Brother was arrogant at first but then became obsequious; it's laughable!"

However, he did not hesitate at all and lent the Primordial Measuring Ruler to Kong Xuan. The aura of the innate treasure collided continuously in the void.

"Come here!"

Holding the Primordial Measuring Ruler, with the innate Five Elements and the innate Five Luck enhanced upon it, Kong Xuan directly unleashed the "Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe" of the Nine Swords of Heaven-Slaying!

This divine power was omnipresent and pervaded countless timelines, instantly suppressing the "Opening Heaven Blade" evolved by Chi Jingzi using the Pangu Banner!

It's not that the Pangu Banner is weak, but that the "Heaven-Opening Blade" needs to be used in conjunction with the "Heaven-Opening Seal" to unleash its power to tear through chaos and shatter space and time. Unfortunately, none of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect knew the "Heaven-Opening Seal".

However, there was a reason why Chi Jingzi was valued by Yuanshi Tianzun. Since the Pangu Banner alone could not suppress Kong Xuan's prestige—

Then I will combine swordsmanship with the Pangu Banner in my hand.

【Kanli Sword Technique】

Although he outwardly scoffed, after the Tongtian Sect Master revealed the Nine Swords of Intercepting Heaven, Chi Jingzi secretly spent some spirit coins to study them.

He also has some talent in swordsmanship, and the spiritual treasure he wields, the Water-Fire Blade, is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure that can control water and fire.

After studying the Nine Swords of Heaven-Slaying, he also developed his own unique Kanli Sword Technique.

With a thought, the chaotic sword energy evolved from the Pangu Banner split in two. One half transformed into the Li Fire Sword Energy that incinerated all worlds, and the other half transformed into the Kan Water Sword Energy that froze the void. When the two combined, they created a magnificent scene in the endless void: Yin and Yang returning to Taiji, Taiji returning to Wuji, and Wuji returning to chaos.

Although Kong Xuan had learned "Dao Chuan Huan Yu", he was not a swordsman. For a time, the sword intent he evolved was suppressed by Chi Jingzi.

However, it was only for a moment!

Kong Xuan was a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, while Chi Jingzi was merely a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Without a supreme innate treasure, Kong Xuan might be at a disadvantage, but what he holds in his hand—at this moment, is the Primordial Measuring Ruler!

"Destroy!"

Even with absolute power, he could break through Chi Jingzi's Kanli Sword Technique.

Let's stop here!

With a thought, Kong Xuan threw out Guang Chengzi and the other Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect: "I admit, you are qualified to be Fu Guang's Daoist partner!"

At this moment, Chi Jingzi also knew when to stop: "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, you are indeed impressive!"

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Celestial Clouds and the Pangu Banner by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, he really wouldn't have been confident of gaining any advantage over Kong Xuan.

Even if he possesses the Pangu Banner, a supreme treasure, Kong Xuan also has a supreme innate treasure—making it difficult for him to gain an advantage over Kong Xuan!

However, he did gain something from this encounter with Kong Xuan!

At least, after witnessing Kong Xuan's strength, his horizons and mind broadened considerably.

"Perhaps I should break free from the methods of the Chan Sect and try to obtain the imprint of the Second Supreme Elder!"

Chi Jingzi is most skilled in Yin-Yang seals, and can even reverse Yin and Yang with water and fire. Compared to the Primordial Imprint, it is indeed more in line with the Supreme Imprint.

If he could reverse Tai Chi with Yin and Yang, and then use the Great Way of Tai Chi to comprehend the Supreme Imprint, perhaps he could take his path of cultivation a step further!

Kong Xuan was somewhat frightened!

There's no other reason than this!

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was rather unscrupulous. He could have easily suppressed Chi Jingzi, but instead, he bestowed upon him a supreme innate treasure!

If that were all, he wouldn't be so worried. It was because when he activated the Primordial Measuring Ruler, he sensed an incredibly vast thought quietly descending upon him from the highest dimension.

He worried that if he used the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler to forcefully suppress Chi Jingzi, Yuanshi Tianzun might personally take his place!

Although he defeated Shadow Zhunti in the Shadow Primordial World with his own strength, there is still a difference between the Shadow Primordial World and the Primordial True World!

Especially saints!

In the blink of an eye, the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects were once again in harmony, as if the scene of Kong Xuan displaying his divine power was just a dream.

In fact, Guang Chengzi and the others were quite dissatisfied, but they could not vent their anger due to the wedding of Chi Jingzi and Fu Guang and their own strength.

These people are all people with firm beliefs in the Dao, so how could they be discouraged by a temporary setback?

Disciples of the Sage —

I still have that much of a Daoist heart!

The wedding of Chi Jingzi and Fu Guang was a rare grand event for the human race, and it would not end anytime soon. Xuan Yin was looking for an opportunity to continue to matchmake Kong Xuan and Shennong's daughter when Cihang Daoren, Puxian Daoren, and Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun of the Chan Sect took the initiative to approach him.

Helpless, Xuan Yin could only reply, "Fellow Daoists, is there something you need from me?"

Cihang Daoist slowly spoke, "I have a fortuitous opportunity; are you interested, fellow Daoist?"

Xuan Yin was not interested at first, but upon hearing this, he immediately became interested: "Fellow Daoist actually wants to share this opportunity with me, a disciple of the Jie Sect?"

'

"What opportunity?"

"Even if you few are not strong enough, why don't you ask Master Yuanshi for help?"

Manjushri Bodhisattva shook his head: "This is no ordinary opportunity, but one that concerns Buddhism. Only the four of us can access this opportunity!"

'

Immediately afterwards, Cihang Daoren explained the connection between the four great Bodhisattva positions of Wisdom, Compassion, Practice, and Vow. He said that if the four of them simultaneously activated the Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, they might be able to see the origin of Buddhism and Taoism and expound the infinite and wondrous truth.

Manjushri represents "great wisdom", Cihang represents "great compassion", Samantabhadra represents "great practice", and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva represents "great vow" — but who let Xuan Yin take the opportunity that originally belonged to Ksitigarbha?

This was said by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin was also startled, and his Eye of Truth swept over the three of them.

He hadn't noticed before that, in addition to being Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Immortal Path, the three of them had also quietly attained the status of Great Awakening Golden Immortals of the Buddhist Path at some unknown time!

It seems that the Primordial Celestial Venerable has already prepared them to become the mainstay of Buddhism!

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Fellow Daoists, why didn't you use Buddhist supernatural powers when you fought with Junior Brother Kong Xuan just now?"

"As far as I know, Buddhist supernatural powers are extremely rare within the Five Elements, at least they wouldn't be as easily countered by Junior Brother Kong Xuan's supernatural powers!"

Although Buddhism has not yet been formally established in this time and space, since Buddhism and Taoism can become a great path comparable to the paths of immortals, gods, and demons, and can also evolve into the Solitary Garden, a sacred place of the Tao, then it is the supreme path that exists eternally in all time and space.

He can be in the past, in the present, and in the future.

In addition, Xuan Yin was also very curious. Since there were second-generation Luo, second-generation Taishang, and second-generation Lingbao, why had he never heard of a second-generation Jieyin?

Or perhaps a second-generation Zhunti?

Is it because the Buddhist path to enlightenment differs from the Taoist path, or because the Daoist Masters Jieyin and Zhunti do not intend to follow the path of seeking emptiness through reduction?

no way!

Although he became the thirty-seventh successor of Shakyamuni, he had not truly grasped the core secrets of Buddhism!

Unless one truly integrates into Buddhism and becomes a direct descendant of the Buddhist community, rather than a fence-sitter, why would the two Western Saints reveal such a secret?
