Chapter 1271: 493: The Seven Souls Transform into Buddha! The Covenant of Heaven Change (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_3
“Damn you, baldy!”
Dongfang Huayuan pointed angrily, “So you are transformed from the Seven Souls of the Ghost Immortal. No wonder you always prevented us from exorcising demons. And the Buddha in The World always advocated subduing demons rather than eradicating them. Could it be he wanted the Ghost Immortal’s three souls to reunite?”
Qu Shenzong’s heart also suddenly sank.
This situation had just become complicated and embarrassing.
The Buddha in The World was both the amalgamation of the benevolent intentions of Relic and Ghost Immortal’s Fetus Light, while the malevolent intentions of Fetus Light, combined with one soul of Shuangling, had transformed into the Buddha Trick. No wonder these two had been entangled for years, yet never dealt a death blow.
If they ultimately let the Buddha Trick escape, after they had dealt with the Outer Domain Devil Lord, they would undoubtedly be sought out by the Buddha Trick for retribution.
...
Putuo Buddha Monarch, with a bowed head, sighed deeply, “It’s not that the Buddha Respect doesn’t wish to eradicate demons, nor does he linger over past feelings, watching the world fall into chaos; otherwise, he wouldn’t have helped you constrain the Buddha Trick and eliminate the Outer Domain Devil Lord.
But, the Buddha Respect hopes to rekindle the benevolent intentions within the Buddha Trick. Perhaps then he might be convinced to turn back, and within our Four Regions, another Dao Monarch might arise.”
“This is unrealistic!”
Chen Dengming, with a furrowed brow, spoke coldly, “From the ancient times to the present, if the Buddha Trick could be redeemed, he would have been redeemed long ago. Yet, because of a moment of kindness by the Buddha Respect, it led to the calamity of the Outer Domain Devil Lord invading the Four Regions, bringing disaster to all creatures.”
Although these words were a critique of the Buddha in The World, Putuo Buddha Monarch was not annoyed but shook his head, “Chen benefactor, it wasn’t just a moment of kindness by the Buddha Respect; even the Buddha Respect could not handle it.
Without Buddha Respect holding back the Buddha Trick, by now the Four Seas and Four Regions would have likely fallen under the Demon Lord’s reign.
Even now, as you come to exorcize the demon, the intention is good, but if the exorcism fails and instead the demon escapes, the world will once more be thrown into chaos.
It’s better to let the Buddha Respect suppress this demon here, perhaps in several years, even if you can’t subdue the demon, someone among you might be able to subdue him…”
Qu Shenzong finally understood that the Buddha in the World did not trust that just the few of them could exorcise the demon, and thus he rather preferred to suppress the Buddha Trick himself to prevent further chaos.
At this moment, only Dongfang Huayuan was indignant, outright claiming he could eliminate the Buddha Trick.
Chen Dengming slightly shook his head, looked up to the sky, and then spoke, “Buddha Respect senior, perhaps your methods and concerns are correct. But, as a junior, I have calculated the Heavenly omens, within just over thirty years the world may face great changes once more. Then, whether senior will be able to exorcise the demon successfully remains uncertain, let alone eradicate him. Some opportunities, once missed, are hard to seize again!”
Putuo Buddha Monarch slowly closed his eyes, “I have heard of Longevity Taoist Lord, who has calculated the Heavenly destiny and is famous worldwide. I didn’t expect you, Chen benefactor, to have mastered this skill as well. If heaven and earth are to change, why don’t we prepare for the unchangeable amid the varying circumstances. If at the time of change, the Buddha Respect truly struggles to subdue the demon, I am willing to join forces with all benefactors, transform into the Angry-eyed Vajra, and devote our efforts to eradicate the demon!”
Obtained.
Hearing this, Chen Dengming knew this Buddha was extraordinarily stubborn; now even doubting the Heavenly destiny he calculated.
However, the other’s request was for stability, not wanting the Buddha Trick to escape again and wreak havoc, which was somewhat understandable.
Immediately, he stopped Dongfang Huayuan’s angry rebuke and raised his hand in salute, “I hope Buddha Respect senior’s words are as solid as gold. If true changes occur in heaven and earth, senior must join us in devoting our efforts to eradicate the demon!”
Putuo Buddha Monarch intoned a Buddhist chant softly and said with drooping eyebrows, “Monks do not speak lies!”
“Good, over thirty years later, if the world changes, I will come again!”
Chen Dengming raised his hand in salute, then persuaded Dongfang Huayuan and Qu Shenzong to leave.
“Chen kid, if nothing changes after more than thirty years, aren’t we still waiting? Just letting these two monks have their way?” Dongfang Huayuan grumbled with frustration.

Chen Dengming shook his head, “My divination won’t be wrong, after more than thirty years, a change will occur in the world. Even if we insisted on forcing our way today, without the support of the Buddha in The World, we’d struggle to eliminate the Buddha Trick. Securing his promise today is the best outcome.”
“Correct!”
Qu Shenzong spoke gravely, “Indeed, the Buddha’s concerns are not unfounded, even if we united our forces, we still don’t have absolute confidence that we could kill the Buddha Trick. If it escapes, not only is the exorcism unsuccessful, but even the subjugation is ruined, which would be an even greater calamity. Better to suppress it for as long as possible until it can no longer be suppressed!”
“That will be at the time of the great cosmic change!”
Chen Dengming looked deep, then turned to Dongfang Huayuan, “The thirty years will pass quickly; I am more concerned now that if a disturbance occurs, the most substantial threat might no longer be the Buddha Trick.”
Qu Shenzong also felt a heaviness in his heart.
The Ancient Calamity was more terrifying than the Buddha Trick; in ancient times, five great Immortals perished, went mad, or fell into slumber because of it.
Dongfang Huayuan spoke earnestly, “Don’t worry, if I reach He Dao, no matter what disturbances occur in the Four Seas and Four Regions, I will do my utmost to help you all face the calamity! This is my promise to you all!”
…
The thirty years, compared to the previous hundred and sixty years of cultivation, were indeed short.
But, this time was sufficient for Chen Dengming to reorganize the Sect affairs, allowing the Longevity Sect to lead and prepare the Four Seas and Four Regions for the forthcoming calamity.
In fact, preparation for lower-level Cultivators or mortals meant merely hoarding food and building walls.
For a Sect, it was about accumulating Spirit Crystals, Spiritual Medicine, Spirit Rice, strengthening the Sect Array, and recalling outside Disciples.
As for more ways to face the calamity, no one had experienced them, and indeed it was uncertain how to prepare.
For instance, the Tribulation Force surging from beneath the ground was a scene Chen Dengming had foreseen in his calculation of celestial destiny; any cultivator touched would see their cultivation drop sharply or even die tragically.
Such circumstances, once they occurred, would result in a great disaster.
Chen Dengming could only assure the safety of his Sect Disciples and perhaps the Heavenly Dao Sect’s through Heaven Luck, but how could he protect the whole world?
Time, amid these urgent preparations, quickly passed.
The configuration of the Four Regions also began to change as the Longevity Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect, two top-tier major Sects, suddenly initiated a series of disaster-avoidance defensive measures.
Soon, four decades passed…
