Chapter 1384: Chapter 625: Zheng Fa of the Future, The Final Gamble
Liuli Buddha looked blankly at the Earth Emperor, only to see the Earth Emperor lift his head, a teasing smile on his lips.
Following his gaze, Liuli Buddha then saw the Thunder Sound Buddha!
Was he mocking Thunder Sound Buddha?
Yet Thunder Sound Buddha at this moment had his eyes closed, not saying a word, but his cultivation seemed to be leaking away, dissipating bit by bit.
"Your Majesty, this..."
"Hmm?"
Facing the smiling eyes of the Earth Emperor, Liuli Buddha felt a chill all over, the words he wanted to say stuck in his chest, and he could only bow his head and say:
"As you command."
...
In the Great Leiyin Temple, the Maitreya Body felt his Dao advancing rapidly.
The One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones method was extremely profound, he and the main body and the other two avatars were actually in communication, the All Heaven Star God of the Heavenly Emperor Body, the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation of the Sword Dao Body, and even the replay of Purple Cloud by the main body, he was very familiar with it all.
What was lacking actually was just the magical treasures and innate divine abilities.
Now immersed in comprehension, these peerless Daoist skills appeared in his divine soul one by one, reorganizing and evolving.
He could even feel that the main body and the other two avatars were also immersed in comprehension, although cultivation did not directly increase, the understanding of Daoist skills was advancing by leaps and bounds.
More importantly, he could feel a gentle voice preaching by his ear.
This voice was so profound, it seemed to arise from the depths of his sea of consciousness.
Suddenly, he had a realization in his heart, this was Thunder Sound Buddha!
The Daoist skills preached by Thunder Sound Buddha were not the cultivation methods of Leiyin Temple but were deduced from the Yellow Court Scripture.
Almost in an instant, countless scriptures appeared and disappeared before him, one by one blurred figures materialized from the void, looking towards Maitreya.
Maitreya understood that this was Thunder Sound Buddha helping him complete the next volume of the Yellow Court Scripture.
Speaking of understanding of the Yellow Court Scripture, Maitreya felt Thunder Sound Buddha could not match himself.
But this person was formidable in his mastery of causality, exceptionally skilled in deduction.
Moreover, this kind of deduction was different from the Heavenly Inference Array Plate.
The Heavenly Inference Array Plate follows the direction of mathematical logic.
But the Way of Cause and Effect of Thunder Sound Buddha actually concerned time, or rather, could simulate the future!
Those figures in the void were actually the future Zheng Fa!
This made him recall what Jianan said — Jianan could temporarily possess the Golden Immortal Realm by making use of the Dragon Flower Tree.
Now Maitreya felt the same, Thunder Sound Buddha was looking for a stronger future Zheng Fa and letting them teach his present self.
Thunder Sound Buddha may not understand the Yellow Court Scripture, but the future Zheng Fa is bound to have an extraordinary understanding of the Yellow Court Scripture!
More importantly, this "future" comprehension is bound to be something he can absorb painlessly.
Even though he was the one benefitting, Maitreya still found it absurd in his heart, Thunder Sound Buddha’s cultivation method was too overpowered!
Maitreya, with his emotions surging, knew he could not miss such an opportunity, he focused intently on the various scriptures appearing in the void, trying to assimilate them for his use.
...
Old Man Bai looked at the increasingly majestic Zheng Fa, his gaze filled with both worry and anticipation, couldn’t help but ask Qingnv:
"What exactly is the Taiyi Realm?"
Qingnv’s eyes flickered, seeming somewhat excited as well, she pursed her lips and said: "I’ve heard a thing or two from Water Mother."
Old Man Bai’s spirit lifted, and even Tang Lingwu couldn’t help but perk up her ears.
Although Water Mother failed to prove the Daluo Dao, she was by no means an ordinary Golden Immortal. If anyone in this world understood the essence of Taiyi or even Daluo, besides the Emperor and Daoist Venerable, it would be Water Mother.
"Golden Immortals are Creators." Qingnv continued, "The primary ability for Golden Immortals like us is to open up a new world, where we are omnipotent within."
"But... Taiyi or Daluo truly transcends from one world to the Ten Thousand Worlds."
"They are those who master the Grand Dao."
"Water Mother calls them Lords of the Grand Dao."
Old Man Bai and the others momentarily indulged in such grandeur.
"For instance, the Two Forms of Tai Chi Dao of Daoist Venerable actually masters the fundamental laws of material and void."
"The Way of Cause and Effect of Thunder Sound Buddha ultimately masters time."
"As for the Nine Nether Emperor, his reincarnation penetrates through the Ten Thousand Worlds, which itself is a Grand Dao."
Old Man Bai slowly nodded, looking at Maitreya, his gaze more expectant: "I wonder what Zheng Fa’s Grand Dao is."
Qingnv thought for a moment, but was unsure as well, only able to smile bitterly and said: "Sect Leader is extraordinarily gifted, the Yellow Court Scripture is too vast, I cannot see through it."
...
Just as they were discussing, it suddenly darkened in the Seven Stars Valley.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Maitreya.
Under the Dragon Flower Tree, beside Maitreya, appeared another figure!
He had his back towards the crowd, his form illusory, seemingly ready to dissipate with a blow of the wind, yet he seemed to absorb all the brilliance between heaven and earth.
The sun in the sky now looked like a distant firefly.
The radiantly shining Dragon Flower Tree was like a candle in the wind.
The world went silent, even the wind’s sound ceased.
All spiritual energy, light, vitality, were swallowed by this silhouette.
All beings bowed before him.
"Zheng Fa?"
Old Man Bai’s tone was uncertain and suspicious.
He was very familiar with Zheng Fa, he could recognize from just the silhouette!
The problem was, this Zheng Fa’s aura felt alien to him, even terrifying!
This "Zheng Fa" seemed to hear his murmurs, slightly turned his head, and looked towards them.
Old Man Bai only felt a chilling air sweep past his body, the eyes of this "Zheng Fa" were like two deep wells, devoid of any emotion.
He seemed not to recognize anyone, looking at Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu without a trace of emotion, there was no warmth to be seen at all.
