A person in the heavens, starting with a Chaos Emperor Dao Fruit

Yunhua has already survived eight tribulations of lightning, and his divine soul and thoughts can now tear through the void.

He can even tear apart the void of the Great Thousand Worlds, let alone the world inside this Lesser Thousand Worlds Qiankun Bag.

In an instant, a crack appeared in the Qiankun Bag.

At the same time, a page that shone with a dark golden light and resembled a palm-leaf scripture floated out from the crack and completely entered Yunhua's thoughts.

On the palm-leaf Zen scripture, there was a picture of a majestic Buddha standing tall, with lotus flowers blooming with each step, one finger pointing to the sky and the other to the earth, as if he were the only one worthy of respect in the world.

This great Buddha statue possesses the power to dominate the present and be invincible throughout the universe!

The meaning of "Tathagata" is "to come to the other shore by the true way".

The "Present Tathagata Sutra" emphasizes martial arts cultivation, using the strongest power to cross the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore. Everything else is illusory, only power is real, and this is the true path.

Besides this one Buddha statue with one finger pointing to the sky and the other to the earth, and lotus flowers blooming with every step.

There were also nine large Buddhas around, all identical Buddhas in the present era, but each of them formed mysterious hand seals. Each of them possessed domineering power, capable of reversing the universe, destroying the world, capturing primordial energy, playing with the sun and moon, and chasing the stars.

A colossal Buddha, a supreme being, exists between heaven and earth, with nine forms, each displaying its own unique power.

Those are the ten core Dharma seals of the "Present Tathagata Sutra": the Fundamental Seal, the Wisdom Seal, the Great Thousand Seal, the Immeasurable Seal, the Nirvana Seal, the Formless Seal, the Bodhi Seal, the Maha Seal, the Gate Seal, and the Paramita Seal!

Of these ten Dharma Seals, the last three are the most powerful, shaking heaven and earth and the universe.

Maha Mudra! Gate Mudra! Para Mudra!

These three Dharma seals, the Maha seal, the 'Maha' in it means great, magnificent!

The meaning of 'Gate' in the 'Gate Seal' is 'go! transcend'!

In the Indian word "波罗" (Bōluó), "波罗" means "the other shore" or "the other side".

These three great seals are the means to use great wisdom and great power to transcend to the other shore!

This is the deeper meaning contained in the "Present Tathagata Sutra".

These hand seals are supreme techniques that combine magic and martial arts. Yunhua's time in the River of Time was short, so he only obtained the mental cultivation scriptures and did not obtain the various Taoist arts and martial arts. Now he has made up for it.

The Present Tathagata Sutra and the Past Amitabha Sutra are a complete set of teachings that complement each other.

The spiritual power cultivated through the "Past Amitabha Sutra" remains eternally unchanged, just as it was in the past. However, the fist intent of the "Present Tathagata Sutra," combined with the spiritual power of the "Past Amitabha Sutra," can cultivate the Tathagata's Dharma body, possessing both an immortal and indestructible soul and terrifying power to dominate all heavens.

Chapter 386 Fishing

The Great Qian Dynasty, Yujing, the Imperial City, the Imperial Study.

Although Emperor Qianlong was over sixty and showed signs of aging, he was always full of energy and gave people an unfathomable feeling.

At that moment, he was looking at an urgent memorial sealed with sealing wax.

Meanwhile, Hong Xuanji, the most trusted minister of Emperor Qian, sat quietly at the lower end of the table. He was dressed in brocade robes and wore a purple-gold crown. His expression was deep and his posture was firm, exuding an air of unwavering composure and the presence of a pillar of the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Xuanji, the Marquis of Champion has sent an urgent memorial. I thought the Yunmeng army had invaded!" Emperor Qian said, holding a memorial and smiling slightly. He then handed the memorial to Hong Xuanji, who was sitting below him.

Hong Xuanji took the memorial, glanced at it briefly, and then said, "The Marquis of Champion has not only beheaded three thousand people this time, but also captured Tai Mang'er and extracted an important piece of information from him. This information coincides with the information that our spies overseas recently obtained."

Hong Xuanji paused for a moment, then continued, "It seems that the remaining financial reports of the Great Zen Temple, and even the three great scriptures of the past, present, and future, were hidden in the Qiankun Bag and taken overseas. The person who carried this bag should be the monk Jingren who was missed back then."

“We’ve already gathered information that the monk Jingren was spotted near the Bewitching Bend. It seems the Qiankun Bag should be located there,” Hong Xuanji concluded.

"The Qiankun Bag, the Qiankun Bag, unify the universe..." Emperor Qian murmured, "It is possible to have the Jinghai Army wipe out the pirates of Mihun Bay, and perhaps they will find something. Although Yan Zhen is a good-for-nothing, with the provisions and equipment allocated by me, suppressing the bandits should not be a big problem."

Hong Xuanji said, "The Jinghai Army is not strong enough, and Yan Zhen is not capable enough. If we act rashly, we will easily alert the enemy. We are not the only ones watching the remnants of the Great Zen Temple. Yunmeng, Rouran, Yuantu, and even Huoluo all have spies overseas. If we act rashly and expose the information about the Qiankun Bag, the Jinghai Army will probably not be able to achieve anything great."

Emperor Qian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. Now that we've found out the location of the Qiankun Bag, we must strike it decisively and not allow any unexpected incidents."

"It seems we can't wait any longer. I will immediately allocate a portion of the Qiankun Dragon Guards to the Marquis of Champion for temporary command. Also, I will have Xiao Anran of the Fangxian Dao and Zhang Boheng of the Zhengyi Dao accompany the Marquis of Champion on a trip to the Bewitching Bend overseas to retrieve the Qiankun Bag." Emperor Qian gave his final orders.

Half a month later, in the South China Sea.

A massive fleet of thirty large ships was sailing forward, cutting through the waves.

The lead ship was a colossal, crimson-red vessel with its flags fluttering in the wind. From a distance, it appeared as if an invisible, intangible aura emanated from the ship, deterring countless extremely sensitive ferocious beasts and evil dragons from approaching.

If a Taoist cultivator skilled in observing qi were to see such a menacing aura atop the army, he would immediately know that this was the most elite army in the world, one that even ghost immortals would have to give way to.

Such an army is forged through countless trials, with the will of every soldier becoming one, their thoughts fierce and focused, and their actions as one.

In this state, even a ghost immortal who has survived two or three tribulations would have their thoughts collapse the moment they are touched.

The largest of these, the flagship, was a specially made Qilin ship for the Great Qian Dynasty's navy. It was imposing, with countless fluttering flags embroidered with huge black Qilin.

Anyone familiar with the Great Qian Dynasty would immediately recognize that this ship must belong to the youngest commander of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Marquis of Champion.

Because the army commanded by the Marquis of Champion was called the Qilin Army.

On each ship stood a soldier dressed in black armor with a large sword at his waist.

If you look closely, you'll find that the breathing and heartbeats of all the soldiers on every ship are perfectly synchronized, as if they are all one.

The appearance of such a fleet is like more than thirty celestial giants moving together at sea, which is awe-inspiring.

“Brother Xiao, the Qilin Army is truly the pinnacle of military strategy! I have never seen such a powerful spirit and will, and such perfectly synchronized breathing and heartbeats, in any army. This Marquis of Champion is truly extraordinary!”

In this fleet, there were two Taoist priests dressed in Taoist robes, carrying long swords and holding whisks. They were looking at the fierce soldiers on the ship with some emotion.

These two Taoist priests were the two leaders of the two major Taoist sects officially appointed by the Great Qian Dynasty: Xiao Anran, the sect leader of Fangxian Taoism, and Zhang Boheng, the chief steward of Zhengyi Taoism.

Although the Supreme Dao is the strongest among all Daoist sects in the world, it is at odds with the Great Qian Dynasty. Therefore, the Qian Emperor naturally reappointed several Daoist sects as leaders of all Daoist sects in the world.

"Brother Boheng, you are making a fuss over nothing. Back then, Hong Xuanji's army was just as mighty and powerful as this Qilin Army."

Xiao Anran chuckled lightly, “Our Great Qian Dynasty is brimming with talent. In the past, we had Hong Xuanji, and now we have the Marquis of Champion. In the future, the whole world will belong to the king, and all people within the borders will be his subjects!”

Zhang Boheng nodded slightly. His gaze shifted to the leading warship, especially to the plume of energy smoke rising from it. He sighed, "The Marquis of Champion is invincible, and his martial arts cultivation has long reached its peak. Now that his energy has condensed into beacon fire smoke, he is impervious to all evil. Amazing! Truly amazing!"

"With Champion Marquis taking the lead, we're bound to get the Qiankun Bag from the Great Zen Temple this time," Zhang Boheng concluded.

Xiao Anran, standing to the side, stroked his beard and nodded slightly. The Marquis of Champion was already one of the top masters in the world. Now, with the addition of this army and the help of the two of them, who in the world could rival him?

"Champion, this kind of money-bringing boy is not to be missed."

High in the sky, Yunhua stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold and sharp as knives.

"Boom!!"

However, at that moment, an extremely terrifying fist intent suddenly descended. Xiao Anran and Zhang Boheng's expressions changed drastically, because they felt as if their perception of the world had been distorted, and they fell into an indescribable and terrifying state, as if they were doubting their own existence.

The two were horrified and looked up at the sky, where they saw an enormous divine body descending from the heavens, its body trembling and forming a huge fist-shaped imprint.

"This...this is the present Tathagata, the Great Thousand Seal! It's the 'Present Tathagata Sutra,' it's a human immortal!!" The two were shocked, never expecting to see the Great Zen Temple's methods appear here at this time.

They had also participated in the battle that annihilated the Great Zen Temple and witnessed the terrifying combat power of Monk Yinyue, and were deeply impressed by his cultivation of the "Present Tathagata Sutra".

I thought that the monk Yinyue had died and that I would never see the Buddha again, but now he has reappeared.

Both of them were covered in cold sweat. Recalling the information they had received about the Qiankun Bag, one thing flashed into their minds in an instant—a trap!

Yunhua suddenly appeared, unleashing a powerful move, the Great Thousand Seal, that descended from the sky, distorting the universe and altering everyone's perception of the world before them.

A massive fist-shaped imprint descended from the sky, much like a giant meteorite crashing down from the heavens. The fierce gale rendered everyone on the fleet unable to move.

"A human immortal! It's a human immortal!!" The Marquis of Champion's expression changed drastically, and he roared inwardly.

"Damn it! I was born with the Mandate of Heaven and blessed with great fortune, why did I have to encounter a human immortal while I was out? And a human immortal who was practicing the remnants of the Great Zen Temple's cultivation techniques!"

Chapter 387 Suppressing the Champion Marquis

A roar echoed through the mountains. It came from a young man with bright eyes and a proud demeanor, but now his hair and beard stood on end as he struggled to resist the terrifying aura pressing down from the sky.

The champion almost cracked open, and a strong masculine energy emanated from his body. The boiling heat above his head was almost visible to the naked eye, and the scorching air seemed to distort.

He resisted with all his might, but it was all in vain. Now that he was only at the Martial Saint level, no matter how he moved his blood and qi or how he circulated his blood energy, he had no way to contend with Yun Hua's Great Thousand Seal attack.

"Impossible! Why would a Human Immortal be here? And at the peak of Human Immortal! There shouldn't be any peak Human Immortals in the world today!"

Even Hong Xuanji only recently broke through to the Human Immortal realm, so why is he here? And a Human Immortal who cultivates the *Present Tathagata Sutra*! The remnants of the Great Zen Temple are natural mortal enemies of our Great Qian!"

"Could this message from the Qiankun Bag be a trap?" Countless horrified thoughts flashed through the mind of the Champion Marquis. In an instant, he realized that this was a trap, a trap specifically targeting the Great Qian Dynasty.

A remnant of a great Zen temple had cultivated the *Present Tathagata Sutra* and had already reached the Human Immortal realm, but he kept it hidden until he reached the peak of Human Immortal cultivation before revealing the secret of the Qiankun Bag. This was a deliberate act to lure a powerful enemy to his doorstep and wipe them all out in one fell swoop!

"Damn it, is this specifically targeting me?" The Marquis of Champion subconsciously thought of this.

Because he had recently received news of the Qiankun Bag during the great battle of the Northern Army of the Great Qian Dynasty, and at the same time, news of the Qiankun Bag was also discovered in the Bewitching Bend overseas. In addition, he was ambushed by a human immortal before he even reached the Bewitching Bend.

With so many things happening at once, Champion Hou simply couldn't believe it was a coincidence; he was certain someone was plotting against him.

"No, I am invincible, I cannot die here!!" Champion Marquis forcibly circulated his qi and blood, and at the same time, a Creation Gourd beside him emitted light, trying his best to tear through the void and escape from Yun Hua's fist intent range.

However, the Creation Gourd was completely immobilized. Yunhua's fist intent was as tangible as steel, compressing the surrounding space to the point of being as hard as steel. Even the Creation Gourd, which could tear through the void, could not escape.

The difference was too great. His body cracked open with streaks of blood, and he desperately brandished a purple divine spear. This divine spear was extremely strange, with hundreds of eyes on its shaft, constantly turning.

It was extremely eerie, bursting forth with long, dragon-like streaks of light.

"The Grief-Slaying Divine Spear!"

"This is the Sorrowful Spear! The spear used by the God of War 'Sorrow' three thousand years ago. This spear once pierced the finger of the first sect master of Xuantian Pavilion, 'Dark Emperor Daoist'! How can the Marquis of Champion have so many divine weapons?"

People around gasped in shock, almost holding their breath, unable to bear such a horrifying event.

First, a peak-level immortal appeared out of nowhere, directly attempting to murder the champion.

Then, the champion revealed such a precious treasure that even the world's number one expert, Meng Shenji, would likely be tempted!

This Sorrowful Light Divine Spear was forged from nine thousand kinds of divine iron from heaven and earth, using forty-nine kinds of Great Evolution True Fire and three hundred and sixty divine talismans.

At the same time, the battle armor he wore suddenly shone brightly. This was the Heavenly Horned Divine Armor, which the God of War Shang forged from the horn of an ancient heavenly dragon and with his own blood essence.

It can change shape at will, fly through the air, and is impervious to water and fire!

Furthermore, under the suppression of this terrifying thought, the void around him suddenly cracked open, and a square sword rushed out.

The blade of this precious sword is square, perfectly straight, even straighter than a ruler, seemingly the most upright sword in the world.

This sword has four sides: one side depicts mountains, rivers, plants, trees, the sun, moon, and stars; one side represents human ethics and moral education; and the other side depicts fishing, animal husbandry, and agriculture.

This divine sword seemed to possess an overwhelming power that enveloped the surroundings.

This power is not of a murderous nature, but rather contains four vast and supremely yang intentions: courage, benevolence, wisdom, and integrity, making one feel as if they are facing an ancient sage emperor.

"Panhuang Life-Giving Sword!!"

Countless people exclaimed in surprise, recognizing the longsword as the divine sword forged by Pan, the first Holy Emperor of the Primordial Era!

Stab it!

As soon as the sword appeared, it seemed to sense the life-or-death crisis of the Champion Marquis. It trembled and a crimson-gold sword aura, ten miles long and half a mile wide, shot out, breaking through the void and severing the fist intent blockade of Yun Hua's Great Thousand Seal. It then directly slashed back towards Yun Hua.

It shattered the void, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and splitting the earth, sweeping across the sky and leaving a dazzling rainbow in its wake.

"Unfortunately, it's far inferior to the Legend of Sword and Fairy."

Yun Hua's eyes flickered slightly. This holy sword reminded him of his two immortal swords, though the two were quite different.

"Ah, that's the Panhuang Life-Giving Sword! It's the legendary strongest ancient artifact, a component of the first Holy Emperor Panhuang! I never expected it to fall into the hands of the Champion Marquis. No wonder he's invincible!"

Immortal Xiao Anran and Zheng Yi Zhang Boheng, who were on other warships not far away, exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

The Panhuang Life Sword was forged by the first Holy Emperor after he slew countless demons, ruled over all living beings, and used his courage, wisdom, benevolence, and integrity. It is the first divine weapon of ancient times.

Legend has it that whoever wields this sword possesses the power of an ancient holy emperor, enough to rule over all living beings under heaven. It is a sacred divine sword.

The two old Taoist priests' voices trembled. Today's shock was simply too great, and even with their ghostly immortal minds, they could not calm down.

First, a human-immortal who cultivated the "Present Tathagata Sutra" launched a surprise attack. In their despair, the Marquis of Champion took out the first ancient divine artifact, Panhuang's sword, which broke through the fist's intent and gave them a glimmer of hope.

As they waited expectantly, the sword energy unleashed by the Panhuang Life-Giving Sword slashed upwards, instantly wiping away all their previous confusion about the vast world. The terrifying aura that had been like dark clouds looming overhead vanished completely, and this power almost made the two old Taoist priests kneel down.

"Humph!!"

However, in the next instant, a cold snort, like a thunderclap, came from the sky, almost shattering the souls of the two great ghost immortals simultaneously. A fierce and incomparable fist intent appeared once again, actually shattering the sword energy of the Panhuang Life Sword.

"Heavens! That was the sword energy of the Panhuang Life Sword, and it was actually shattered!!" The two old Taoist priests were extremely shocked; the scene before them was beyond their imagination.

"Not good! This person is not at the peak of the Human Immortal realm, but a powerful expert with a fist intent that surpasses even that!" Champion Marquis's expression changed drastically; the opponent's strength once again refreshed his understanding.

A master of true fist intent is comparable to an expert at the eighth level of the Thunder Tribulation; even the universally acknowledged Dream God Machine is no match for him!

"Han Yue, open the Gourd of Creation for me!" Champion Marquis was anxious. Facing such a master, the slightest mistake would lead to immediate defeat.

This was a life-or-death race against time. His opponent had only thrown two punches, yet he was already forced to use all his trump cards and escape for his life.
