Chapter 670: Chapter 388: Becoming the Most Ancient One! A Thought Traverses Eternity, a Word Laments the Ages (Extended Chapter)
"Fake... it’s fake, right?"
Within the heavens hanging upside down, ten thousand paths were silent, the fierce wind suddenly stopped,
countless True Gods restrained the divine radiance around them, standing silently on the spot, even their breathing seemed slightly stagnant.
They either dangled their feet above the cloud, or sat cross-legged on a jeweled lotus dais, their expressions filled with disbelief and shock,
many True Gods subconsciously performed protection techniques with their fingers, all dreading that terrifying youth in the Netherworld.
To devour the Path of the Saints... to actually devour the Path of the Saints!!
Even the Eastern and Western Sects, the five Celestial Venerates descending this time, also had their expressions frozen, speechless for a while, and the melody of Dao around them slightly chaotic.
From the Western Sect, the figure of the Supreme Sect Leader and the Mandala Lineage’s Great Sun Buddha had already quietly arrived—these two are not the true Supreme Sect Leader and Great Sun Buddha,
only fortunate ones occupying the Celestial Position here, much like the World-Honored One Tathagata of the Other Shore World, bearing the name by virtue of their position, but their divine techniques and mana fall far short of the true position holders... even so, they have already stepped into the Fifth Realm of the Divine Path, a Supreme existence.
Above the True Saint, below the Daluo, the Daoist sect calls it Celestial Venerate, the Buddhist sect calls it Buddha, Confucianism calls it Sub-Saint, combined and unified, it is called the Taiyi Fruit Position, also known as the Immortal Golden Position.
Immortal Venerate.
"He... consumed the Path of the Saints?" A rapidly rising Immortal Venerate of the Western Sect, surrounded by violently fluctuating divine radiance, was the Primordial Sect Leader,
his voice trembled, full of amazement, even the Cloud behind him rippled due to the emotional upheaval:
"How is this possible? That’s the Path of the Saints... the foundation of Confucianism, bearing the ancient rites and laws, even a Daoist Body is hard-pressed to accommodate it, and he actually managed to swallow it directly?"
Confucianism had no Taiyi Immortal, no Sub-Saint in residence, yet could stand on equal footing with Dao and Buddha in a Different Dimension, relying on that sacred mountain, relying on the Path of the Saints!
Even if it was just the Path of the Saints manifested by five sages, according to reason, it should be able to stall an ordinary Taiyi Fruit Position existence for a moment!
But now...
Beside them, one of the three supreme figures of the Eastern Sect, the Primordial Celestial Venerable said solemnly:
"If what this person said earlier is true, he... He was the teacher of the Supreme Sage, the one the Supreme Sage referred to as ’Sir’."
"And the solitary grave on the sacred mountain was also erected by the Supreme Sage for him...."
"In this light, devouring the Path of the Saints seems quite reasonable."
The low-sounding voice echoed among the heavens, and the True Gods looked at each other, with varied expressions,
sitting cross-legged on the lotus dais in the skies, the Western Sect’s Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader turned to look and asked:
"Supreme, when did you arrive here? Where have you been just now?"
His gaze fell on the Supreme Sect Leader and Great Sun Buddha, full of confusion—these two were usually mortal enemies, how could they be standing side by side today?
Moreover...
Was it an illusion, the Heaven-Reaching Sect Leader always felt that the Buddhist light and Brahma radiance around the Great Sun Buddha seemed somewhat different than usual, suffused with an indescribable mysterious Daoist melody.
The Supreme Sect Leader faintly smiled, without responding,
behind him, the Taiyin Celestial Monarch respectfully stepped forward, presenting an immortal fruit imbued with Immortal Light,
this immortal venerate seated in the Taiyi Fruit Position casually accepted it, and began to eat it indifferently, the juice splashing,
the Supreme Sect Leader turned his glance towards the Great Sun Buddha beside him and slowly asked:
"Great Sun Daoist friend, what do you think of this person?"
The question seemed casual, but there was a faint, subtle reverence in the tone.
This matter, only he and the Ancestor of Land Immortals knew.
The ’Great Sun Buddha’, or rather the one occupying the Great Sun Buddha’s Celestial Position at this moment, was no longer the same person as before.
The Great Sun Buddha clad in thousand-leaf Brahma robe, the orb of great sun at his back burning brightly like the noon sun hanging sky, his demeanor unperturbed, only quietly gazing at the Netherworld below, gazing at the young man holding the sacred mountain.
After a long while, he finally spoke calmly, uttering four words:
"Mysteriously profound."
The True Gods, upon hearing this, became increasingly confused, gazing at each other, seeing bewilderment in each other’s eyes.
The supreme figure of the Eastern Sect, Celestial Lord of Numinous Treasure, furrowed his eyebrows, admonishing in a deep voice:
"Old bald mule, at this moment, you still play games? This person concerns whether we may smoothly descend into the human world, speak plainly if you have to!"
The Great Sun Buddha silently chuckled, yet closed his eyes not answering, his gaze still intently locked onto the youth in the Netherworld,
seeing this, the gods became increasingly uneasy,
the Celestial Lord of Tao and Virtue snorted coldly, raised a hand to call forth a True Saint Celestial God bedecked in golden armor with an imposing presence.
He formed a golden ring at his fingertips, handed it over, and calmly said:
"Pure Source Marvelous Dao Celestial Monarch, take this Supreme Treasure Vajra Ring, and venture into the Netherworld to gather the truth."
The dignified Celestial God occupying the position of Yang Jian’s Celestial Position had a fluctuating expression,
he naturally knew the terror of that one in the Netherworld, but ultimately dared not defy the Celestial Venerate’s decree, so he nodded heavily, took the Vajra Ring, and resolutely headed into the Netherworld!
As he walked, three thousand divine winds rolled up behind him, capable of extinguishing Essence, Qi, and Spirit, blowing away the Cosmic Star Sea, strands and wisps permeating the void, where they passed, the cries of gods and ghosts resounded throughout the universe.
And at this moment.
In the Netherworld.
Zhang Fusheng quietly lifted the sacred mountain, his fingertips clearly touching the rugged stratum of the mountain, feeling the vast vitality and profound rites flowing within,
this is the true sacred mountain, not just an illusory scene in the Divine Realm,
the flowers and trees at the summit revealing eighty-four thousand paths, each leaf vein and every hint of fragrance is filled with Dao principles and melody,
as the Dao melody flows, it subtly resonates with the grand Dao of heaven and earth, far clearer by billions than the illusory scene of the sacred mountain anchored in his Divine Realm.
