Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman
Chapter 521 - 292 Host, you wouldn’t want the disciples to be without a master, would you?

Chapter 521: Chapter 292 Host, you wouldn’t want the disciples to be without a master, would you?

Fortunately, after forming his Golden Core, he had already embarked on a different great path.

With the help of Water Blue Star, he had transformed the Great Freedom Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect into the World-saving Divine Power Dharma Aspect!

He would not end up being merely a stepping stone for the Heavenly Tathagata once he reached a certain realm.

After countless divine power arms appeared, the Heavenly Tathagata chanted a Buddhist hymn.

At the same time, the sound of a bell echoed from the void, resonating with the hymn.

The Son of God, with its claws stretched out, clearly stiffened for a moment.

In that instant, countless divine power arms became golden afterimages that struck the claws.

Immediately, scales flew off the claws, and dark blood splattered out.

It poured down like a waterfall.

The Buddha Country on the ground, upon contact with the dark blood,

was instantly corroded, forming large pits.

The evil qi, which had been suppressed by the Buddhist chants and golden light, erupted once again as these substances from the Evil God’s true form fell.

The injured claw of the Evil God swiftly retracted.

Even Su Ping, who was in the main hall, could feel the furious fluctuations.

Su Ping’s divine sense swept across the scattered scales and dark blood:

"Chairperson, if these remnants of the Evil God are not collected and sealed, they could lead to a great disaster."

"..."

Upon hearing Su Ping’s words, the young chairperson’s lips twitched slightly and he closed his eyes, chanting "Amitābha".

Instantly, Su Ping saw a flash of spirit light on the golden body of the Heavenly Tathagata in the main hall.

Immediately, scales filled with evil qi and dark blood were drawn outside.

Su Ping revealed a smile, thanking the chairperson and the Heavenly Tathagata.

With a thought, he released the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map, and casually swept it over those remnants of the Evil God flying in the air.

Instantly, all of the Evil God remnants were enveloped by the array map.

Then, they were wrapped in a mass of Blood Sea.

And returned into Su Ping’s body.

At first, these remnants of the Evil God were somewhat restless.

Even in the pools of dark blood, microscopic avatars of the Evil God began to form.

Su Ping had anticipated this, and the next second, three-color divine light and various spirit lights shone upon them.

Under the three-color divine light, the remnants of the Evil God quieted down immediately.

Meanwhile, in the sky.

The Heavenly Tathagata, who had risen to his feet and floated up, was majestic and radiated dazzling golden light.

He started to approach the gap in the sky without retreating.

After approaching the gap, the Heavenly Tathagata sat cross-legged, with thousands of hands coming together in prayer.

Then, Buddhist chants emanated from him.

The illusion of the Buddha Country on the ground appeared, and it perfectly blocked the gap.

In that moment, golden lotuses blossomed everywhere within a thousand li, purifying the evil qi in the surroundings.

Even the elders of various sects outside the battlefield, at their spirit veins, were amazed to find the content of evil qi in the spiritual energy slowly decreasing.

Those who knew the situation, looking towards the direction of the Golden Ray Monastery, thought they had succeeded.

But!

It was at that moment when the young chairperson opened his eyes and looked at Su Ping.

His eyes showed a barely perceptible pain as he said to Su Ping with a bitter smile,

"Alliance Hierarch, aren’t you leaving yet?"

"Although the Heavenly Tathagata has repelled the Evil Gods’ attack this time,"

"and has begun to purify the world’s contamination with himself as the nexus,"

"But!"

"It is only now that we realize how foolish we have been before."

"Compared to the contamination this world has suffered..."

"The Incense Fire Divine Power within the Heavenly Tathagata’s body... is not enough, far from enough!"

"At most, it can hold for the time it takes an incense stick to burn... that’s the limit of time we can delay."

"Our monastery has too shallow an understanding and underestimated the abilities of those Evil Gods from beyond this world."

"To think we could use such a Golden Body to extend the life of this world for a hundred years... that’s sheer folly!"

With a sigh, the young chairperson continued,

"After an incense stick burns out, the Heavenly Tathagata will have exhausted the accumulated Incense Fire Divine Power."

"By that time, if the gap in this region still exists, not only will we have failed to purify the evil Qi, but we might actually give away this region to the Evil Demons sooner than expected..."

Upon hearing this, Su Ping understood.

If the Heavenly Tathagata truly couldn’t hold on,

the best course of action for this Small World,

would obviously be to proactively sever this region of the Golden Ray Monastery.

So as to prevent the Evil Gods from taking advantage of this region to invade other parts of the Immortal Cultivation World.

This grand gesture by the Golden Ray Monastery amounted to losing both the madam and the soldiers.

No, that’s not right!

Such a possibility, the Golden Ray Monastery could not have failed to foresee.

After all, they knew that the Heavenly Tathagata was not a true Buddha Venerate.

In a flash of inspiration.

Su Ping thought of the people from the Immortal Chiyuan Sect, who had not appeared so far.

He couldn’t help but transmit his thoughts over with his Divine Sense.

The young Abbot was slightly startled and nodded in admission,

"Indeed, as the Alliance Hierarch has considered."

"Although my Great Golden Light Temple has lost in this matter,"

"we have also provided a bit of assistance for the Immortal Chiyuan Sect’s plan."

"When Heavenly Tathagata takes away the Supreme Golden Body,"

"he will grant a decree to Immortal Chiyuan Sect for their sword."

"But... the specifics are only known to my Master and that Immortal Chiyuan."

"This was also a decision made a thousand years ago."

"..."

As the young Abbot spoke, he seemed to think of his own Master, and his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the Supreme Golden Body in the main hall.

"A secret even the Abbot doesn’t know?"

"It seems the plans of the Immortal Chiyuan Sect are even more covert than those of the Great Golden Light Temple."

"But that’s also right, if one wishes to overcome the strong as the weak, and can’t even achieve the element of surprise, then it’s futile to harbor any delusions."

Having said this,

Su Ping looked at the young Abbot and suddenly asked:

"Since the Great Golden Light Temple’s method has already failed,

why doesn’t the Abbot leave?"

"Leave?"

The young Abbot was taken aback and then laughed,

"The Supreme Golden Body is still here; this poor monk cannot leave."

"Otherwise, if Heavenly Tathagata finds an excuse for breach of contract, this little purification will be gone."

"Once the Supreme Golden Body is gone... this poor monk will also be unable to escape."

Su Ping knew that this was because Heavenly Tathagata had run off with the spoils of war, the Supreme Golden Body.

Next would be the Evil God’s true form descending in extreme fury, coupled with the Immortal Cultivation World’s severing of the region,

With the abilities of the current Abbot,

indeed, he could not escape.

However, if he couldn’t escape, wouldn’t he still have himself?

After realizing that the Evil God’s true form and the Abyssal Challenge demons were not all that impressive,

Su Ping was full of confidence in the Teleportation Talismans produced by Pot Cave Heaven.

Moreover, Su Ping had long harbored the impulse to present a grand gift to the Evil God’s children using the now purified Earth Veins.

He was quite curious about what interesting interactions would unfold when they encountered greetings from the Abyss.

It was just a pity that the quality of the Earth Veins limited the choice of difficulty.

As it stands, the Earth Veins of this region have a maximum difficulty level just above Extreme Difficulty, the Nightmare level.

They could at most summon Sixth Tier Abyss Demons, equivalent to the Returning to Void Realm.

Based on previous analyses, beings of this realm were not sufficient to cause a heaven-shaking disturbance within the body of the Mother Goddess.

But this was also good.

The Abyss Challenge rewards were still obtainable for himself.

It was equivalent to receiving rewards for advancing across two Great Realms ahead of time.

No matter how one calculated, it was not a loss!

Having figured this out, Su Ping made up his mind to stay seated in the main hall without leaving.

So much so that the young Abbot, who had looked at Su Ping several times, hesitated to speak after explaining the situation.

Until cracks suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Tathagata’s Dharma Aspect in the sky.

The young Abbot’s complexion changed slightly and he turned to Su Ping,

"Alliance Hierarch!"

"The time is near, and to prevent any changes, please leave quickly!"

Su Ping revealed a smile, not only did he not leave, but instead he took out a cup of Spiritual Tea and gave it to the young Abbot.

The young Abbot was about to persuade him again, but after seeing the Buddha Country Golden Lotus Fruit in the tea, he paused.

"Abbot, let’s be honest,"

"I can wait until the last moment and take you away."

"After all, you are the Abbot of the Great Golden Light Temple; you wouldn’t want the disciples of the Southern Desolate Islands to be without a Master, right?"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

The young Abbot looked seriously at Su Ping upon hearing this.

After a pause, the young Abbot brought his hands together and bowed to Su Ping,

"This poor monk... owes a debt of gratitude to the Alliance Hierarch for saving my life!"

Seeing the Abbot’s agreement, Su Ping smiled.

This Abbot of the Great Golden Light Temple was truly a powerful being in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Moreover, he could split into three, being as effective as three individuals.

Even if he was reluctant to venture out and take action,

Staying within the secret realm, he could still provide great assistance in all aspects!

And with this favor from the Abbot,

It would be no problem to take a look at the heritage and foundations brought out by their Great Golden Light Temple, and incidentally, to copy some of the unimportant ones to fill the Grand Library, right?
