Chapter 522: Chapter 293: Great Freedom Bright Light Tathagata Curse, Abyss Activation!

The Sect Leader of the Great Golden Light Temple was not afraid of death.

At least at this moment, he had long been prepared for self-sacrifice.

But upon learning that there was still a way to live, and that this path would not affect what the Great Golden Light Temple had previously paid...

Refusing would mean being a stubborn old monk rather than being a Sect Leader capable of leading the Immortal Sect.

Moreover, the Sect Leader of the Great Golden Light Temple was well aware that the reminder from the Alliance Hierarch was reasonable.

After the main temple was destroyed...

He wanted to make life better and easier for those disciples scattered outside.

Whether he, the Sect Leader, was still alive, was also a very important variable.

The young Sect Leader recited a Buddha’s name.

At another location, near the Supreme Golden Body Buddha Statue, the youthful and elderly avatars of the Sect Leader also simultaneously closed their eyes and chanted, "Amitabha."

Suddenly, the three avatars became one.

In front of Su Ping, an aged monk, his skin clinging to his bones, was revealed.

The old monk’s eyebrows and beard were all snow-white.

However, his eyes were bright, as if emitting golden light.

At the center of his brow, a vertical eye slightly opened, exuding a Buddha light that seemed to possess a tangible oppressiveness.

This was the true appearance of the Sect Leader of the Great Golden Light Temple.

Su Ping felt the pressure from the other party and guessed that the other party must have achieved Nascent Soul Perfection.

And his Divine Skills were well-developed.

He was only half a step away from the Divinity Transformation Realm!

However... for the Sect Leader, this half-step was likely insurmountable in a normal lifetime.

It wasn’t that the Sect Leader lacked talent.

To become a Sect Leader, he must at least be someone related to a Buddhist Spiritual Body.

It was just that he was born too late; even with great talent, his foundation had been tainted, unlike his ancestors from a thousand years ago.

His master could become a Divine Monk of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

This Sect Leader... Nascent Soul Perfection was his limit.

If this Immortal Cultivation World were not rapidly consumed to depletion, with the pollution of Evil Qi continuing to worsen...

In the ongoing polluted cultivation foundation, perhaps after a while, even the Nascent Soul would become an almost invisible realm.

Then, no matter how talented the new generation of cultivators were, they could at most cultivate up to the Golden Core Realm and no longer be able to break through!

Fortunately, such a terrifying future was no longer possible.

Because...

I, Su Ping, have come to this Immortal Cultivation World!

Above the Great Golden Light Temple...

The Heavenly Tathagata’s ten-thousand-meter Dharma Aspect appeared more and more cracks.

At His ears, continuous bell sounds came from the void beyond the skies.

It was also thanks to these bell sounds that the Heavenly Tathagata managed to continue blocking the gap, leaving the offspring of the Evil God frustrated and helpless.

That Seventh Son of the Evil God could only bitterly add one more sentence toward the direction of the bell sounds:

"This vengeance! I shall remember it!"

Upon hearing these words of the defeated, the Heavenly Tathagata sneered inwardly.

Then His gaze uniformly shifted towards the lotus pond in the backyard of the Great Golden Light Temple.

There, a female Sword Cultivator from Chi Yuan Immortal Sect sat cross-legged, holding her sword in both hands.

As the Heavenly Tathagata cast His gaze...

All the Golden Lotus in the pond bloomed ecstatically in the blink of an eye.

At the cost of withering in the next moment, they burst forth a great deal of golden light that entered the sword scabbard.

With this golden light as cover...

Some mystical runes also entered the sword scabbard.

Causing the long sword to emit an almost imperceptible hum.

The female Sword Cultivator immediately tightened her grip on the sword, not responding to the Heavenly Tathagata.

Following the instructions, she immediately activated the Jade Pendant she had brought.

Suddenly, with a flash of golden light, the female Sword Cultivator disappeared, having already escaped to the Central Domain.

"Today, another bond of benevolence is formed."

"Well done! Well done!"

The Heavenly Tathagata smiled slightly, deliberately speaking aloud to make sure Su Ping in the main hall heard.

Then the eyes on the Heavenly Tathagata’s fractured face startlingly shifted their gaze towards Su Ping.

Making Su Ping slightly tremble, realizing the other’s intentions, he cautiously gathered a streak of Greedy Wolf Divine Thought to make contact.

Instantly, he felt the Heavenly Tathagata transmit a scripture from the Great Freedom Bright Light Tathagata Curse.

With Su Ping’s current insight, he could perceive that this scripture from the Great Freedom Bright Light Tathagata Curse directly pointed to Buddhist cultivation methods from Divinity Transformation up to the Returning to Void Realm.

However, considering the opponent’s true identity...

Su Ping decided he would not pursue that path of cultivation.

The Heavenly Tathagata seemed to have noticed Su Ping’s thoughts and transmitted another message.

Informing Su Ping...

That He, the Heavenly Tathagata, was indeed not a true Buddha Venerate of the Buddhist Sect.

But His mastery of Buddhist teachings was also not merely disguised by Evil Qi.

He was indeed a Son of an Evil God, and ranked among the forefront of such offspring.

He had also personally destroyed countless Small Worlds and Small Thousand Worlds, devouring countless beings or polluting them as Evil Spirits.

Yet now, having extensively studied thousands of Buddhist Scriptures, enduringly cultivated Buddhist teachings for thousands of years...

When needed, He could demonstrate more Buddhahood and Buddha light than a genuine Buddha Venerate descending to earth.

Of course, this abnormal behavior of the Heavenly Tathagata was not because He was truly moved by the Buddhist texts and chose to renounce killing and attain enlightenment.

It was because this Son of an Evil God also had his troubles.

While they only needed to help digest the Small Worlds swallowed by the Mother Goddess...

Appearing to lead, imposingly dignified...

Every time the Mother Goddess awoke, however, she would turn on these Sons of the Evil God, drawing the energy they had accumulated over time.

The weaker Sons of the Evil God, ranked towards the end, might even be devoured cleanly by the Mother Goddess for lack of energy, with their Divine Souls perishing completely.

Those ranked towards the front did not have to worry about their lives.

But they also faced a big problem.

That is, within the body of the Mother Goddess, their growth also had limits.
