Chapter 1031: Chapter 85: Paradise Land [Vote for Monthly Tickets!]

When everything happened, Immortal Jiuyi was also quite bewildered.

He, too, had been wrung out by Chu Liang not long before, and was cultivating in seclusion within the Misty Mountain Sect when suddenly, with a loud rumble, a huge lotus flower fell from the sky, smashing a hole in the mountain and nearly shattering it.

"What the? What the?" Immortal Jiuyi flashed out, "Is Yunque Temple dropping things from the sky?"

The disciples of the Misty Mountain Sect swarmed over like bees, looking up to see a big hole in the sky; looking down to see a hole in the ground as well.

It was then that a seven-colored lotus emerged from the deep pit that led straight to the sea floor, revealing none other than the Law Lotus Platform. Zen Master Da Yu, blood surging with energy, said in a deep voice, "Venerable Wanfa is a godly being of ancient Buddhism, now here to reclaim his physical body. He seeks the Longevity Path, to slaughter all living beings!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, all the cultivators of Misty Mountain were both shocked and angry.

They were shocked to learn of this hidden aspect of Venerable Wanfa’s history, and furious at his wild and terrible ambitions. But even Zen Master Da Yu, who commanded the Divine Artifact, was beaten to such a state, how powerful must Wanfa be now?

With a flip of his hand, Immortal Jiuyi immediately brought forth a ball of golden light and called out loudly, "I will go up there and meet him!"

"If we can stop him from obtaining the ancient Buddha’s physical body, all the better, but if we can’t, Sect Master Jiuyi must withdraw in time. The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands must not be broken through one by one!" Zen Master Da Yu cautioned before driving the lotus platform up into the sky once again.

Immortal Jiuyi waved his sleeve, "Evacuate the disciples of the sect!"

While disciples of the Immortal Sects could hardly contribute in a battle of such caliber, they represented the future, as the Human Clan’s future cultivators would all emerge from these young people. Therefore, they were incredibly precious to all Immortal Sects.

Both Yunque Temple and Misty Mountain Imortal Sect’s first reaction was to have their disciples flee.

Misty Mountain, rooted in the Eastern Sea, far from the Nine States Land, had always seen few disputes. Moreover, thanks to a good relationship with Penglai, they could easily obtain Spirit Plant resources and did not need to struggle bitterly for them.

Thus, the disciples of the Misty Mountain Imortal Sect were inexperienced with battling at their own sect’s gates and were somewhat caught off guard at the moment.

In this respect, they were much less experienced than the disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect.

To speak frankly, if Shu Mountain were to encounter a large-scale battle like Evil Ksitigarbha’s assault once more, it would take but three breaths to go from bustling liveliness to barren desolation.

Within the golden clouds, Venerable Wanfa was staring blankly at his own twenty-thousand-year-old physical body. Although he had reshaped a body after ascending to the Upper Realm and had later changed his path, he was still himself, and his origin had never changed.

Unexpectedly, this body was repelling him so.

Was it because this was the Ninth Realm outer shell that had once merged with the Primordial Path? He was no longer at that pinnacle of radiance, but it remained forever fixed in that moment.

Before he could attempt the next step, a burst of golden light from below shone up, enveloping him in a layer of golden radiance.

"How daring, Wanfa, to be so brazen!" Immortal Jiuyi, wielding the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams, trapped him with the golden light, and then a sun-like divine glow released thousands of arrows, "I want to see what capabilities you have!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

In an instant, the fierce sun scorched his figure. Without hesitation, Venerable Wanfa grabbed the body in front of him and shielded himself with it. Not even the white clothes of the body could be damaged by the divine glow shot from the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams.

This was the resilience of a Ninth Realm outer shell.

On the other side, a colorful aurora lit up, intending to suppress Wanfa from above—Zen Master Da Yu was descending on the lotus platform once again.

Venerable Wanfa’s eyebrows shot up as a fierce light burst from his eyes. Two rings of light suddenly separated from his body—the Universe Rings—turning into two vortexes as they were offered up. The vortexes on either side of time and space tugged simultaneously, blasting the rainbow-colored lotus platform away.

With another flip of his hand, the Mirror Sky Eight Diagrams that was still restraining him was also attacked by the two vortexes and crashed thunderously into the sea.

Although he was not Daoist Master Wu Ya and might not match the power of Daoist Cang Sheng wielding the Eastern Sea Time Wheel, in the mastery of combining the Universe’s Time Wheel, he was countless times better than Daoist Cang Sheng.

Because Venerable Wanfa’s cultivation is now higher, and his Path more balanced.

Immortal Jiuyi was smashed into the sea, knowing he was no match, he immediately cried out, "Zen Master Da Yu, I will go first!"

"Rest assured." The voice transmission from Zen Master Da Yu was already a hundred miles away, it turned out he had taken the opportunity to control the Law Lotus Platform and fly away, "I left earlier than you—"

If it were to exorcise demons and defend the path, both mighty powers would naturally spare no effort, but they were more worried about causing the loss of a Divine Artifact because of a momentary impulse. If the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands were breached by each, the responsibility would be grievous.

Fortunately, Venerable Wanfa had no intention of pursuing them. Instead, he picked up his former Tongxuan physical body and stepped through the light portal in front of him, returning to the Northern Region Holy Mountain.

...

Whoosh—

Venerable Wanfa’s figure stepped out from the oasis behind the Sacred Mountain. This unremarkable oasis had already attracted the attention of the world, for the old tree had become a colossal timber piercing the sky, truly as terrifying as such.

"Since you refuse to merge with me again, then come be the nourishment for my new Path!"

He bellowed angrily, and with a boom, the Tongxuan physical body smashed into the ground, buried directly beneath the giant tree using the Thick Soil Burial technique. In the dark earth below, countless roots instantly entwined the body, drawing spiritual power from it.

"Divine Phoenix! Wu Chao!"

Venerable Wanfa’s voice echoed again in the Ice Domain, and soon, two figures—one red and one black—descended. Of course, the present Western Sea Divine Phoenix and Ancestor Wu Chao did not dare to confront Venerable Wanfa in person; the two figures that descended were undoubtedly avatars.

When the three met again, the situation was completely different from last time.

Back then, Venerable Wanfa said he would find Evil Ksitigarbha to deal with Starry Sky and Baize, but he never expected Evil Ksitigarbha would become nourishment for him. Now, when Divine Phoenix and Wu Chao faced him again, they did not dare to look upon him as equals, their eyes filled with awe and wariness.

"At this point, I will no longer hide my identity from you." Venerable Wanfa roughly recounted the words from Yunque Temple, though not in as much detail.

The identity of the ascender from two thousand years ago naturally shocked the two Limiters once more.

"Now that Evil Ksitigarbha is dead, I have gained the upper hand." Venerable Wanfa looked at them indifferently, "If you no longer contend with me for the Path, but instead follow me, when I open the Skyroad in the future, I can take you with me, allowing you to reach the Upper Realm alongside me."

"But if you still harbor the ambition to become godly, then turn and leave immediately, and we shall contend another day. Do not blame me for disregarding the alliance of yesteryear."

His words were not loud, but they carried exceptional power, causing the Western Sea Divine Phoenix and Ancestor Wu Chao to look at each other, pondering for a long time.

It was Ancestor Wu Chao who spoke first, "Since the Immortal Sect of the Human Clan exists, our chance to achieve godliness is already slim. If the Venerable truly can lead us in ascension, Wu Chao is willing to follow!"

Seeing him agree, the Western Sea Divine Phoenix looked over and nodded as well, "I am willing too!"

"Good!" Venerable Wanfa smiled satisfactorily, looking towards the vast land to the south, "You return to your respective realms and gather all the demons under heaven, tell them I wish to establish Paradise Country, where there is no distinction between man and demon, no differentiation between Yin and Yang. Anyone who wants to ascend with me, gather at Mang Mountain City!"

...

Shu Mountain.

Looking at the towering tree in the North Region, after a brief shock, the Shu Mountain Sect also began to receive news from all sides, each piece more pessimistic than the last.

"Evil Ksitigarbha has fallen..." Yan Zi and Empress Feng sat opposite each other, frowning as they spoke.

"Ah?" Empress Feng was slightly surprised to hear this, she looked at her fist, "Did I hit too hard?"
