With a wave of his hand, Shen Du stored the Xuanyuan Sword in his sea of ​​consciousness.

If it were the original form of the Witch-Slaying Sword, even the gods wouldn't dare to so easily throw this malevolent treasure into their primordial spirit's sea of ​​consciousness.

After all, the Slaughtering Sword was forged from the essence, blood, and soul of the human race, and is filled with endless resentment.

As for the Xuanyuan Sword, the vengeful souls of the human race who were entangled within it have long been purified.

It then becomes a treasure of merit and spiritual significance.

Strangely, even with the merit bestowed upon him, the Xuanyuan Sword had no restrictions whatsoever.

But Shen Du didn't want to think too much about it; after all, as long as this thing worked, that was good enough.

Anyway, he doesn't necessarily need the Xuanyuan Sword. The Hetu Luoshu or the Chaos Bell would also work. The Xuanyuan Sword is just that, far inferior to the former two.

"The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation!"

"Hurry up and get it formed!"

As he murmured, the sound flowed like water to Bai Qi's ears. Bai Qi picked up his sword, which had slaughtered countless lives, and unleashed his powerful killing aura, connecting with the earth's veins and the earth's evil energy, continuously pouring it into the surface of the twelve golden statues.

At the same time, the immense calamity energy between heaven and earth was also slowly rising as the twelve golden figures were gradually formed.

"."

Western Paradise, Ling Mountain.

"Amitabha!"

The Buddha of Many Treasures, who was expounding the great path of Buddhism, suddenly stopped and looked toward the entrance of the Great Buddha Hall of Mount Ling.

As far as the eye could see, one person held a wondrous tree radiating dazzling seven-colored light, while another possessed an aura as enchanting as a dream. The two slowly entered the main hall.

Upon seeing the visitors, Tathagata Ratnakuta dared not be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly rose, bowed his head, and said, "Tathagata greets the two saints!"

"We pay homage to the Sage!"

Numerous Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats rose to greet them.

"Amitabha!"

"Great Qin, I have investigated and found that the demolition of my Buddhist temples was orchestrated by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors behind the scenes. However, my second senior brother has already dealt with them!"

"Soon, the Great Qin will rebuild temples belonging to our Buddhist sect!"

The guide slowly opened his mouth.

However, soon many surprised gazes turned to Jieyin and Zhunti.

Among them, Tathagata Many Treasures slowly said, "May I ask, Holy One Who Guides, what do you mean?!"

"So, you've decided to have the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, throw his Xuanyuan Sword into the territory of Qin and deliver it to Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin?!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin was taken aback at first, then turned to look at Zhunti beside him, his gaze seemingly asking, "Junior brother, is what Duobao said true?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhunti made a deduction and instantly realized the current situation of the Great Qin: Xuanyuan had descended to earth and the Mandate of Heaven had been bestowed upon the Great Qin!

At that moment, anger flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, what Tathagata Duobao said is true!"

"That Emperor Xuanyuan threw the Xuanyuan Sword into the Qin Dynasty!"

"This means that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors broke their agreement on something that was only recently finalized!"

"They are the ones who initiated the war between heaven and man, as mentioned by the Dao Ancestor!"

"Hmph!" Jieyin snorted coldly, his face showing displeasure. He immediately turned around and went back to Huoyun Cave to settle accounts with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

However, Zhunti quickly stopped him.

"Junior brother, what does this mean?!"

"Senior brother, this is a battle between the celestial beings and the mortals. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are merely the people behind the scenes. Even if the two of us go, we probably won't gain any advantage!"

"Now, the task at hand is to destroy the Great Qin Dynasty!"

"Otherwise, it might hinder the great prosperity of our West!"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin felt there was some truth to it, and thus calmed down his anger.

At this moment, Tathagata Duobao asked in confusion, "May I ask you two sages, what is the War between Heaven and Man?!"

Not only was Ratna-raja Tathagata completely baffled, but everyone else in Buddhism was also completely confused.

All they knew was that the Qin Dynasty had destroyed the temples of Heaven and Buddhism; they knew nothing about the war between Heaven and Man.

They could not deduce the source of the great calamity that had struck the world, so they naturally did not know that the Great Qin Dynasty was the one who initiated this great calamity.

"Humph!"

"For the scope of the war between the celestial beings and the human, you can refer to the Investiture of the Gods!"

Upon hearing this, all the Buddhist monks present were filled with fear.

They had experienced the Investiture of the Gods war, the brutality of which was beyond description.

Now, if we tell them that another war between heaven and man, just like the Investiture of the Gods, is about to begin, how can they accept that?!

"However, you need not panic!"

"We have traced the source of the war between the celestial beings to the Qin Dynasty, a mortal dynasty!"

"If you destroy it, you can resolve its difficulties!"

"only."

As they talked, Jieyin became somewhat puzzled.

What does it mean that the immortals, gods, Buddhas, witches, demons, and saints mentioned by the Taoist patriarch would all be involved?!

The Buddhas, immortals, and gods fought against humans, and Jieyin understood this perfectly.

But what does this sorcerer saint mean?!

Could it be that they will voluntarily intervene, just like in the Investiture of the Gods?

Furthermore, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan have long since fallen into decline; I doubt they would even be willing to participate in this war between heaven and man!

What exactly did the Dao Ancestor mean by that?!

"But what, the Guide Saint?"

Tathagata Duobao asked the question.

"However, the Dao Ancestor once said that all living beings in the Three Realms will be drawn into this war between heaven and man!"

"But the dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and liches are all in decline and have no ability to participate in this great battle, so how can we even talk about it?!"

They guided him back to the Dao.

However, he failed to notice the unusual expressions on the faces of the Buddhist monks.

Are the dragon, phoenix, and qilin fallen on hard times?

The Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan will feel utterly defeated!

The fact that the Qilin clan had fallen into such a state was something no one could believe.

This is because the First Qilin has just returned to the primordial world.

"Enough, all your thinking is useless!"

"Buddha, go to the Heavenly Court immediately and persuade that fellow Haotian to take immediate action against the Qin Dynasty in the human realm!"

"Before the seeds of the war between heaven and man are sown, let us nip it in the bud!"

Zhunti immediately issued an order, which stunned Duobao Tathagata, who was about to say that the Qilin had appeared in the world.

He then nodded slightly, "I obey the decree of the Sage!"

The Buddhist monks also spoke up, "We obey the decree of the sage!"

If the two Heavenly Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, were unaware of the appearance of the First Qilin, the Buddhist sect would find it utterly unbelievable.

After all, the entire prehistoric world knew that the Primordial Qilin had appeared.

Could it be that Zhunti and Jieyin, as Heavenly Saints, would be behind them in terms of information?!

A moment later, Tathagata Many Treasures personally went there, accompanied by many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, and headed to the Heavenly Court.

Its sheer scale astonished the entire demon race of Xiniu Hezhou!

What's going on? Have all the Buddhist monks gone out?!

However, this commotion also alarmed the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court.

Inside the Kunlun Mountains, one of the three incarnations of the Jade Pure Primordial Celestial Venerable couldn't help but raise his eyes, "What are those bald monks from the Buddhist sect up to?!"

In the Heavenly Court, Laozi, the Supreme Lord, looked at the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir refined in the Eight Trigrams Furnace before him, then turned to look at the Buddhist monks who had come to the Heavenly Court, and smiled without saying a word.

However, they all had one tacit action in mind: they stared intently at the primordial world with deep expressions, at the invisible, rapidly increasing calamity energy.

Those familiar with the great calamities of heaven and earth knew that this might be a sign of the great calamity about to erupt.

Chapter 278 Calamity Arises, All Sides Move, Lingxiao Gathers

As the Buddhist sect mobilized en masse to head towards the Heavenly Court, calamity began to grow in the world. Many powerful beings felt a chill run down their spines upon witnessing this scene.

"This is the prelude to a great calamity!"

"This calamity actually originated from Buddhism!"

"Less than tens of thousands of years have passed since the Investiture of the Gods, yet another great calamity has arisen. This world is already beyond our comprehension. Fellow Daoists, let us retreat into seclusion and cultivate, detached from worldly affairs!"

"Makes sense!"

"..."

Due to the increasing calamity energy, the Dragon Lord Ancestral Dragon of the East Sea Dragon Palace emerged from the Great Thousand Dragon Realm and slowly arrived at this place.

He gazed at the world, at the scene where the aura of calamity was gradually growing, and his eyes were filled with melancholy. Having experienced the war between the three races, how could he not know that another bloody storm was about to break out!

But this time, it is not a struggle between the primordial beings, but a battle between the three paths of the world. It is a struggle for the Dao, and whoever wins will occupy the sovereignty of the primordial situation.

In the distant past, the Dragon Clan was plotted against by the Heavenly Dao, just like the Phoenix and Qilin Clans. They were also subjected to the Heavenly Dao's schemes and became tainted with karmic consequences, preventing the younger generation of their clans from advancing any further in their cultivation.

This time, the dragon race should choose the path of humanity, the leader of all spirits. Heaven has already abandoned the dragon race, so why should the dragon pearl force itself to move forward?
