Chapter 516: Chapter 290 King vs. King!_2

The Golden Lotus lingered until it struck the head of the Heavenly Tathagata Buddha Statue and then dissolved into the air.

The White Bone Divine Monk pressed his palms together and bowed slightly to the Heavenly Tathagata Buddha Statue.

The three heads of the Heavenly Tathagata simultaneously opened their eyes.

Suddenly, all six eyes manifested a trace of spirit light.

Facing the head of the White Bone Divine Monk, it even slowly opened its mouth.

The White Bone Divine Monk didn’t hesitate and stepped directly into the mouth, and subsequently sat cross-legged at the position of the tonsils, his body radiating golden light.

After that, tendrils of flesh emitting golden light fiercely pierced into the body of the White Bone Divine Monk.

In the blink of an eye, he was enveloped within the flesh and completely merged with the Heavenly Tathagata Buddha Statue.

"Master!"

Seeing this, three presiding avatars all simultaneously raised their heads and issued a mournful cry together.

"Amitabha!"

"As the Buddha name echoes long, our sect forever endures!"

Inside the Heavenly Tathagata Buddha Statue, the voice of the White Bone Divine Monk resonated.

The volume was low.

Yet it allowed all the monks and believers within a thousand li under the Bright Light Shield to hear clearly.

And like a soul imprint, it was unforgettable for life.

Many ordinary believers, who had exhausted their energy and spirit, also slowly awoke.

In the myriad Stone Towers behind the Great Golden Light Temple.

Many voluntarily sacrificed senior monks had a bit of their divine soul essence preserved and afterward placed into these Stone Towers, to be worshipped in the future at the Great Golden Light Temple.

However, at the same time that these senior monks were placed into the Stone Towers.

Golden, radiant illusions of monks also emerged from the towers.

These were the past monks of the Great Golden Light Temple who had passed away, their divine souls within these Stone Towers, their Divine Sense turning into a unique kind of Incense Fire God due to the worship.

Realizing what the White Bone Divine Monk was doing,

these senior monks revealed their forms at that moment, each transforming into a stream of light and directly entering the Buddha Statues in the main hall.

Inside the Heavenly Tathagata Buddha Statue, Buddha seals appeared all over the White Bone Divine Monk.

Causing the initially slightly malicious illusion of the Heavenly Tathagata to slowly transform back to its serene and compassionate state.

Su Ping sensed the anomaly within the Great Golden Light Temple.

Upon looking over, his gaze flickered slightly.

Suddenly, he heard the gentle voice of the Ten Directions Sect’s Sect Leader by his ear.

It was this Sect Leader, with equally profound heritage, who had perceived through the changes what was occurring at the Great Golden Light Temple.

He then communicated with Su Ping, hoping to glean more information from him.

In the view of the Ten Directions Sect’s Sect Leader,

the Great Golden Light Temple was likely making a deal with a being similar to the Son of an Evil God but probably an antagonist to the Evil God entities in their Realm.

They were constructing a Golden Body Buddha Statue for the other party, providing Incense Fire and Divine Soul,

thus enabling the party to manifest at a higher level or gain other benefits, while at the same time,

the Great Golden Light Temple could also utilize the divine power that surpasses Divinity Transformation after the descedant’s arrival to save the currently precarious Immortal Cultivation World.

And to prevent the other party from reneging,

the Great Golden Light Temple at the critical moment of constructing the Golden Body decided to let their former Sect Leader of the temple, also the only Divinity Transformation Divine Monk of the temple, to take a risk by entering the critical node within the Golden Body,

serving as a guarantee that the deal would not be breached.

However, just for this guarantee, the millennium heritage of the Great Golden Light Temple could be said to have been utterly depleted.

Despite knowing that this was an immensely beneficial act for the entire Immortal Cultivation World,

other major sects, including the leaders of the Ten Directions Sect, could not help but want to ask:

With such sacrifices, even if successful, is it worth it?

A depleted Great Golden Light Temple... can that still be considered the Great Golden Light Temple?

The more they realized they themselves would neither dare nor be able to make such a decision,

the more they admired this decision of the Great Golden Light Temple!

However, knowing much about the Son of the Evil God, Su Ping sighed lightly after hearing the Ten Directions Sect’s Sect Leader’s analysis:

"It’s difficult to succeed!"

In Su Ping’s view, the more thoroughly the Great Golden Light Temple prepared, the lower the success rate would be.

The reason lay in the fact that the Heavenly Tathagata was not a true Buddha Venerate but another Evil God avatar.

These beings, upon sensing that the gains do not justify the efforts, performing minimally or deserting at the critical moment were common for them,

let alone this time’s arriving Son of the Evil God, who likely just wanted to cause trouble for his peers.

Of course, it also couldn’t be ruled out that the other party might adopt a stance of "if I can’t have it, neither can anyone else," and then use the leverage to pull the Immortal Cultivation World out of the danger zone,

but this possibility was extremely slim.

Nevertheless, the Great Golden Light Temple wasn’t foolish; after all, they were once a force of the Immortal Sect.

Willing to make such huge sacrifices, they likely had foreknowledge of some critical points and corresponding countermeasures.

Not being aware of the full details, Su Ping didn’t make further comments but continued observing and maintaining a mysterious demeanor.

As the illusion of the Heavenly Tathagata with its three heads and six arms gradually solidified, and its countenance became clearer.

Outside the Bright Light Shield, dark clouds enveloped the area once again.

From above,

one could see dark clouds from all directions surrounding a circular area emitting a faint white light.

Inside the cloud, there was the avatar of the Evil God sealed within the depths of Cloud Mountain,

one who had paid a huge price in Ten Thousand Mountains yet returned empty-handed,

along with another in the Underground Palace, the Demon Sect’s Seventh Son, the Evil God avatar,

and two others Su Ping had not seen, presumably rampaging in the East Sea and West Desert.
