The demon monk in the second dimension

So the saints discussed it for a while and felt that since the grand gathering of all races could not be avoided, they simply proposed to hold the grand gathering of all races on Mount Sumeru.

Xia Zhi agreed and temporarily designated a hilltop in the vicinity for the grand gathering of all races.

Soon, various forces from Beidou arrived at Mount Sumeru.

At the very bottom level are the leaders and saints of various sects; the younger generation has no right to come.

This is a golden age. The ancient star of the Big Dipper is brimming with spiritual energy, shrouded in mist, and the cultivation challenges are much easier than before.

The Big Dipper is no longer a place where sages are rare and great men reign supreme; instead, sages are everywhere and kings are as insignificant as dogs.

With the Buddha Emperor present on Mount Sumeru, and Kong Miaoyin having just successfully passed the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation and displayed astonishing cultivation, no one dared to cause trouble.

The scene was harmonious; even enemies would only grumble a few words or go to fight in other realms, and would not dare to make a move on Mount Sumeru.

Among them, besides Xia Zhi and Kong Miaoyin who are the most eye-catching, Ye Fan is also attracting a lot of attention.

While the Holy Body Emperor is in power, another ancient Holy Body is rising, having already cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Saint King realm, and the possibility of eventually becoming a Great Perfection Holy Body is not small.

Moreover, according to their assessment, Ye Fan and the Buddha Venerable had a close relationship. Back at the Yaochi Myriad Races Assembly, it was Ye Fan who invited the Buddha Venerable, who had not yet attained enlightenment but already possessed the Great Perfection of the Holy Body, to oversee the event.

As members of the same Holy Body lineage, it's impossible for the Buddha Venerable not to take care of Ye Fan.

Therefore, many people are greeting Ye Fan, hoping to build a good relationship with the Holy Body lineage.

Even among the Golden Crow clan, Crown Prince Huai Zun, whose great-grandfather was a quasi-emperor, dared not cause trouble, for fear of being seen as an enemy of the Holy Body lineage.

Although a quasi-emperor has the title of emperor and can look down on a great sage, he is still far inferior to a true emperor.

No matter how unhappy he was, he had to swallow his anger on Mount Sumeru.

Soon, the Holy Master of the Ji family, who was also the father of Ji Ziyue and Ji Haoyue, came over to discuss the engagement between the two families with Ye Fan.

The flirtatious exchanges between Ji Ziyue and Ye Fan have been going on for more than a hundred years.

Back then, when the Northern Emperor Wang Teng presented betrothal gifts to Ji Ziyue, Ye Fan came to his door and directly beat Wang Teng to a pulp.

Later, the Northern Plains royal family was also destroyed by him.

The Feng Clan, who were originally supposed to marry Ye Fan under the matchmaking of the White-Clad God King Jiang Taixu, but the marriage fell through, are now filled with regret.

Ji Ziyue blushed shyly at her father's suggestion.

Ye Fan grinned foolishly and agreed.

His twelve Holy King brothers immediately congratulated their eldest brother, while other friends teased Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue.

Finally, on the occasion of the summer solstice, the grand gathering of all races came to a successful conclusion.

All the saints promised to restrain their disciples and clansmen from causing trouble.

At the same time, many sects outside of Buddhism withdrew from the Western Desert, or directly transformed themselves into Buddhist sects.

The Western Desert, which had changed due to the passing of Amitabha Buddha, once again became a Buddhist land.

Chapter 400 The Road to Immortality Begins

Not long after the Grand Gathering of All Races ended, Ye Fan heard the news that Xiao Nannan had appeared on Ziwei Star, so he went to Ziwei Star to look for her.

After returning with his little girl, he also went through a tribulation and became the Great Sage.

Immediately afterwards, he rescued the Black Emperor who was trapped by the Quasi-Emperor Formation, and together with the Holy Prince, Ji Zi, and the Black Emperor, they used four Imperial Weapons to defeat the Quasi-Emperor of the Tengshe Clan, shocking the world.

During this time, Xia Zhi was making arrangements in the Western Desert.

The path to immortality will open, and the entire Big Dipper will be impacted.

He intends to place the Western Desert into the Pure Land of the Southern Heaven, then manifest the Buddhist Kingdom to replace the original Western Desert, and together with the Central Plains, the Eastern Wilderness, the Northern Plains, and the Southern Ridge, re-form the ancient Big Dipper constellation.

For at least the next 700,000 years, within the shattered Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he, as the Immortal King, will remain a top-tier warrior.

Summer Solstice plans to establish this world as her base, strive to develop her faith, and lay the foundation for the King Buddha's enterprise.

If all else fails, when we can't win, we'll just pack up our buckets and run away, taking the Southern Pure Land of Buddhism with us as we leave this world.

……

As time progressed, the fluctuations in the laws within the ancient Big Dipper star became increasingly intense.

It's like an egg with a chick inside, which could burst at any moment.

Finally, one day, on a desolate mountain hundreds of miles away from the ancient forbidden land, a huge crack ten thousand feet long burst open.

A terrifying celestial light shot into the sky from the crack, its unparalleled divine power threatening to shatter the Big Dipper.

The celestial light surged into the universe, transforming into an unstoppable torrent.

All the planets that stood in the way of the divine light were shattered and turned into dust in the starry sky.

"My Buddha is compassionate!"

At the summit of Mount Sumeru, a Buddhist chant is sung on the summer solstice.

Boundless Buddhist power emanated from his body, vast and cloud-like, forming a massive Buddhist seal, resembling an ancient and majestic array that suppressed the five regions of the Big Dipper.

Even the celestial light could not shake this Buddhist seal; it was bound and suppressed, unable to shatter this ancient star.

"It is the Evil King Buddha of the Southern Heavenly Pure World!"

"The Great Emperor of Buddhism has made his move!"

"Even the Buddha wants to venture onto the path of immortality?!"

Seeing the Buddha's light filling the sky, many sages were speculating.

At this moment, the entire Beidou system focused its attention on this large crack.

Some races that felt powerless to cope with the path to immortality had retreated to their ancestral stars or other ancient life-bearing planets, not daring to get involved in the cause and effect of the path to immortality.

They learned from ancient texts that the path to immortality involved unspeakable upheavals that would plunge the entire universe into its darkest hour, forcing them to seek refuge in the desolate edge of the universe.

On Mount Sumeru, Kong Miaoyin looked at the path to immortality with great envy, her eyes filled with an uncontrollable longing, and asked Xia Zhi.

"Is the Buddha destined to become an immortal? Our Buddha is invincible in this world, his spirit soars to the heavens, he is sure to become an immortal!"

Many Buddhist disciples and followers also looked towards the summer solstice with expectant eyes.

They believe that the summer solstice has destroyed the path of Amitabha Buddha, established its own unique path, and created another Buddhist path with great wisdom, perseverance, and great opportunity.

If even the Buddha cannot become an immortal, then no one else can hope to.

Xia Zhi slowly shook her head and explained the truth to the monks of Nantian Temple.

"This is indeed the path to immortality, but it's a dead end! Back then, a peerless immortal king planned to enter the immortal realm through this path, but he gave up halfway. All the paths to immortality in this world are manifestations of the path he opened up. The path on the ancient star of the Big Dipper is only half open and cannot truly lead to the immortal realm."

The monks were all surprised when Xia Zhi explained the matter.

It turns out that the path to immortality was the path a Celestial King once took to enter the Celestial Realm.

What is a Celestial King? Is he the king of all immortals?

Since this road is a dead end, is there a real road that leads to the Immortal Realm?

Soon, Xia Zhi put her hands together in prayer, revealing a compassionate expression, and continued speaking.

"I am the King of Evil, the Purifier of the World in the Southern Heaven. I am here to purify the world of evil, to use evil to control evil, and to save all sentient beings. My wish is not to become an immortal, but for everyone to be like a dragon, everyone to be like a Buddha!"

Later, the sound of Buddhist chanting emanating from Xia Zhi resounded throughout the Big Dipper, attracting the attention of all.

The Buddha's light appeared in the sky, illuminating Mount Sumeru in a golden glow, as if a holy land had descended to earth, a pure land in the world, allowing the entire Western Desert to see the Buddha's light.

Those who heard the Buddhist chant were all deeply moved, and they all looked toward Mount Sumeru, bowing in worship.

"May the Buddha have mercy!"

This is a Buddhist tradition of making grand vows on the summer solstice.

Inside Nantian Temple, from Kong Miaoyin and Moke Ancient Buddha down, all the Buddhist disciples and descendants bowed down to Xia Zhi, expressing their heartfelt gratitude.

"My Buddha is compassionate!"

……

As countless laws manifested beside the desolate ancient forbidden zone, forming a city wall resembling a celestial gate, a loud roar came from within the Primordial Ancient Mine.

"The Immortal Path has been born! The right time, the right place!"

This is a voice of grief and indignation containing millions of years of waiting, millions of years of heartache, and millions of years of helplessness.

Simply because the timing was wrong, one great emperor after another was blocked from entering the immortal realm.

Some fought bravely, their blood spilled on the path to immortality, their bodies left to rot in the wilderness.

Some even cut off their own lives, abandoning friendship, family, and even self-confidence and dignity, just to witness the truth of the path to immortality.

With the path to immortality before them, some supreme beings harbor doubts and continue to lie low, observing the unfolding events.

However, there are also supreme beings who firmly believe in this and strive to be the first to break into the Immortal Path!

A huge blue-purple Qilin burst out of the Primordial Ancient Mine, with a head like a dragon, a body like a horse, a shape like a deer, and a tail like an ox.

"Here comes the stick!"

A deep, thunderous call emanated from his mouth, shaking the entire Eastern Wilderness.

A dazzling, crystalline, and brilliant blue light flew in from the universe and transformed into a Qilin staff.

This is an ancient royal weapon from the Fire Scale Cave, forged from eternal blue gold.

When it shines, all the stars are silent, none can compare to it.

Along with the Qilin Ancient Emperor, a human emperor also charged out.

He possesses unique blood and qi, which have also reached their peak of refinement, yet the extreme power he exudes is different from that of the ancient clans.

"It's the Human Emperor!"

A human sage exclaimed in surprise, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Did the human emperor also slumber in the Primordial Ancient Mine, becoming the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone?

Could it be that the Great Emperor, who was supposed to protect humanity, also launched a dark upheaval?

People from Yaochi, the Jiang family, the Ji family, and several dynasties in Zhongzhou all looked grim and felt bitter.

Sensing the disappointment and unease of the human race, the human emperor, concealing his name and appearance, and remaining silent, spoke with sorrow.

"I gave up everything and have lingered on until now, not out of cowardice, but to witness the path to immortality! Although I dare not call myself a true emperor, I have no shame before the human race. I only wish to catch a glimpse of the path to immortality!"

At the same time, two Supreme Beings also flew out from Burial Sky Island.

Four towering figures gathered before the magnificent city wall formed by the condensation of immortal laws, and the Ancient Emperor Qilin spoke loudly.

"Fellow Daoist, you've been asleep for a million years, why haven't you woken up yet!"

The next moment, another beam of immortal light flew out from the Primordial Ancient Mine and arrived beside the Qilin Ancient Emperor.

It seemed like a phoenix swooping down, with crimson clouds filling the sky.

But as the phoenix approached, everyone realized that it was actually the ancient imperial weapon of Blood Phoenix Mountain, the Phoenix-Winged Gilded Halberd.

In mid-air, the sharp blade of the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd gleamed with a cold light, as it thanked the Ancient Emperor Qilin.

"I am in a bad state, almost turning into a weapon. Thank you, fellow Daoist, for waking me up."

Chapter 401 Xia Zhi Makes a Move

The five supreme beings gathered, and almost all of them reached the pinnacle of their power, leaving no time to waste.

The Qilin Ancient Emperor roared and launched the first attack.

"The Way Separates Two Realms"

The Ancient Emperor of Qilin waved his Qilin Staff, and a layer of blue-green light surged forward.

A Vermilion Bird, formed from the laws of nature, flew out from the Immortal Gate.

Before the blue light, it let out a mournful cry, its body was split in two, and it turned into a rain of light.

"The eternal stars have fallen to the west!"

This supreme being intertwined countless chains of divine laws, forming a massive planet, which he then slammed down upon the immortal gate in front of him.

Countless beings formed from the laws of nature encountered a falling star, blossomed in the center, and exploded with a deafening roar.
