Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

As far as he knew, his elder brother's tenth-order Dao Pill Nine-Turn Golden Pill could enable a mortal to instantly become an immortal, achieving the ultimate level of immortality as a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Although achieving the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through this method will deplete one's potential and may result in being permanently locked into that realm for life!

But in reality, how many people in the Three Realms can actually achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal status?

Moreover, this side effect is only because the person is a mortal. If a Taiyi Golden Immortal uses this pill to break through, the effect will be different, especially for a cultivator who has reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal Perfection stage!

Using this pill to break through will have almost no side effects!

A single Nine-Turn Golden Pill is equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Immortal. For those acquired beings who are bound by innate limitations and unable to break through, this is simply an unparalleled sacred medicine.

And now, an even more advanced eleventh-tier Dao Pill has been developed...

I'm afraid it's not as simple as just breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm...

"Elder brother's alchemy skills are truly profound. With such elixirs, your Human Sect might be able to surpass those two Westerners' Buddhism..."

If a tenth-order Dao Pill belongs to the Great Luo level, then in Yuan Shi's view, this eleventh-order pill should belong to the Quasi-Saint level.

Quasi-Saint.......

Now, among all his direct disciples of the Chan Sect, except for True Man Huanglong, they have basically all severed their three corpses and achieved the cultivation of Quasi-Saint!

Even among the third-generation disciples, quite a few have already achieved the status of Great Luo Golden Immortal.

He was very proud of this.

After all, there are only four Quasi-Saints in the current Human Sect: Xuandu, Donghua, Chisongzi, and Du'e. Oh, and there's also Li Xuan, who switched from the Jie Sect to the Human Sect.

Five Quasi-Saints, that's not a small number!

As for the Jie Sect... only the Holy Mother Wudang remains. Among the Three Pure Ones, the Chan Sect should have been the most prosperous, but...

The Buddhist sect stole the fruits of the Investiture of the Gods!

This has resulted in the Buddhist sect now having as many as ten Quasi-Saints. However, the Primordial Celestial Venerable actually looks down on these inferior Quasi-Saints who have severed their corpses with golden bodies.

Now, it is an eleventh-order Dao Pill refined with the power of belief, which grants wishes. Does this include quasi-saints?

Upon hearing Yuanshi's words, Taiqing understood perfectly!

He shook his head helplessly.

"This pill is called the Golden Pill of All Beings. If it can be refined, it can indeed help a Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivator to sever the three corpses. However, this pill is not so easy to refine!"

Most importantly, consuming the Golden Elixir of All Beings, refined from the beliefs of all beings, will incur karmic debts. If these debts cannot be repaid, it will be detrimental to future spiritual practice!

As for surpassing Western Buddhism...

At this point, Master Taiqing smiled wryly and said, "This is nothing but nonsense!"

"Fellow Daoist Jieyin possesses great wisdom, great fortune, and great enlightenment. He even conceived of making a grand vow to the Great Dao to greatly promote Buddhism. This humble Daoist is far inferior to him!"

"Hmph, these two, Jieyin and Zhunti, are pure frauds. They used tricks to deceive the Heavenly Dao and become saints in the past, which is fine."

Unexpectedly, the karmic debts of Heaven have not yet been repaid, and now such deception is being used against the Great Dao itself!

To open up a vast world from the world of dreams?

Haha, it's amazing that he, Jieyin, could come up with this idea. He doesn't even realize that he himself has exhausted almost all of the incense offerings of Buddhism since birth in order to open up that Buddhist realm!

With this kind of consumption method, even if countless eons come, the Buddhist sect probably won't be able to open up more than a few great worlds!

Aren't they afraid of ultimately failing, being condemned by the Great Dao, and being burdened with heavy karma?

The Primordial Celestial Lord's face was filled with jealousy at this!

Yes, it's jealousy!

He made a grand vow to the Great Dao, and in the end, the Great Dao actually granted it. It was like a dream. The Great Dao is the manifestation of the Great Will of Chaos, and it is not something that can be granted by just anyone.

Even for a saint, unless you create the entire world, the Great Dao might just glance at you!

Since the beginning of time, including the great aspirations of Jieyin and Zhunti regarding the Great Dao, the Great Dao has only appeared three times!

It appeared twice in the primordial world. The first time was when Pangu created the world, and the second time was when Houtu transformed into reincarnation!

The third time, however, it appeared in the vast Buddhist world of the Great Thousand Worlds, which was opened up by the Bodhisattva!

"This is the wisdom of the guide!"

He made a grand vow to the Great Dao through the Dao of the Dream World, to spread this Dao to all sentient beings in the Three Realms, so that in the future sentient beings may cultivate this Dao and use it to open up the vast world, which is what the Great Dao desires.

As for when it will be completed, he did not set a time limit for himself!

What if it succeeds later!

Moreover... it's the way of the world!

To be able to create a great world without needing a chaotic spiritual root, Fellow Daoist Jieyin's ability to create this path is enough to demonstrate his high talent. Perhaps he will be able to further improve this path in the future!

Compared to him, our current achievements are mostly due to the legacy of our father god Pangu…”

Taiqing had genuine admiration for the Guide Daoist.

"So, will my senior brother agree to his request?"

"Of course I agree!"

This great merit cannot be monopolized by Buddhism without our cooperation.

It turns out that the Guide Daoist was using the Great Dao of the Dream World to deceive the Great Dao, saying that his Great Dao could open up the Great Thousand Worlds, while the ultimate goal of the Great Dao was actually to transform the endless chaos into individual worlds, with the Great Thousand Worlds being the best.

Therefore, he accepted the great trend of the flourishing of Buddhism!

However, the flourishing of Buddhism cannot be without reason or without any difficulty; otherwise, it would not be enough to demonstrate the preciousness of the great merit of the Great Way!

Even if the Great Dao lacks wisdom and personality, even if the Dao of the dream world is very important to the Great Dao.

However, it is impossible for you to obtain this immeasurable merit of the Great Dao for no reason. Therefore, Jieyin thought of the great tribulations of the journey to the West. The greater the tribulations, the more merit you gain, and the smaller the tribulations, the less merit you gain!

Therefore, it is impossible for Jieyin to keep this matter to himself!

Otherwise, it would be easy for the Three Pure Ones and the Heavenly Court to ensure that the Buddhist journey to the West would never be completed.

Then I can only share it!

Therefore, Jieyin had long ago personally discussed this matter with the two of them, and the reason they met here at the Tushita Palace today was precisely because of this matter!

"Hmph, what Senior Brother says is quite right!"

"He wants to guide us, but he wants the tribulation to be more difficult, yet he can't disrupt the great calamity. He's really thinking too highly of himself..." Yuanshi Daoren chuckled.

The greater the calamity, the more merit is accumulated, and the more merit the Buddhist sect gains. Ultimately, the greater the prosperity of Buddhism will be, which is not a good thing for the Chan and Ren sects!

"Junior brother, you are absolutely right!"

"At that time, we'll just keep the disaster under control to a certain extent!"

Taiqing gently stroked his long beard with his right hand and nodded slightly.

"By the way, senior brother, I heard that the legacy of the Father God Pangu was obtained by a human from the lower realm? Is that true?"

Suddenly, Yuanshi Tianzun changed the subject and looked at Taiqing.

He was a sage, understanding all things in heaven and earth with a single thought, so why would he need to inquire further? However, regarding the legacy of Pangu, which was inherently beyond the realm of mystery and possessed the characteristic of being unpredictable, he truly did not know.

"Donghua told me about this!"

It seems that this must have really happened...
