Chapter 189: Chapter 184 [Change the Sky and the Earth, Rebels Establish Buddhism] (Subscribe Requested)

Mount Sumeru.

When Hao Tian was preparing to fully support Xuanyuan, Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist made an important decision in their hearts.

Zhunti Daoist was still hesitating: "Brother, are we really going to forsake the Heavenly Dao and Xuan Sect, and fully align ourselves with the Earth Dao camp?"

Jieyin Daoist’s expression remained unchanged, and he coldly said: "At this point, do we have any other choice? The revival of Earth Dao has given rise to new spiritual veins in the West, and the Western lands are on the rise! Most of our grand vows have been fulfilled by Earth Dao! How else can we repay the karma of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Since we can’t repay it, then let’s not repay it. Carrying the origin power of the Heavenly Dao on us, let’s switch to the Earth Dao. Earth Dao will surely bestow the position of a Saint!"

"Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Although Earth Dao is currently weaker than Heavenly Dao, as long as we bring the origin power of Heavenly Dao over, the weakening of Heavenly Dao and the strengthening of Earth Dao will naturally shift in balance!"

"With The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa in Xuan Sect, if we continue carrying the karma of Heavenly Dao, we are doomed to always be inferior!"

"With the protection of Earth Dao’s will, what will some karma of Heavenly Dao count for?"

No one expected that Jieyin and Zhunti, who claimed themselves as disciples of Heavenly Dao and Xuan Sect, would switch to betraying both.

The conversation just had would certainly shock when spread across the Primordial World.

"This..."

Zhunti Daoist frowned and said: "It’s alright with The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, even if we cannot defeat them, they can’t do much about us! But that person in the Purple Cloud Palace, his strength is unfathomable!"

That was his greatest worry!

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun was the first to become a Saint and merged with Heavenly Dao, wielding the Creation Jade Disc, his strength absolutely unparalleled by The Three Pure Ones or Nuwa.

"What’s there to fear?"

Jieyin Daoist’s eyes filled with determination: "Brother, you should know, originally, the reason we obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi was because he was battling Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, which shattered the Western Earth Veins! This karma was originally his debt, we’re merely repaying it for him!"

"Although his strength is immense, this side of Earth Dao also has means to contend, don’t forget, the Pangu Hall in Houtu’s hands, just by showing a sliver of its power, suppressed the Reincarnation Demon God!"

"Moreover, the Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun is not without formidable enemies, if he really wants to personally suppress us, we will release the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!"

Relying on Heavenly Dao, no one knows when the West could flourish, but now, with Earth Dao just revived, it has already allowed the Western lands to start rejuvenating... and this, is also why Jieyin Daoist wants to switch to Earth Dao!

As Earth Dao grows stronger, the Western Spiritual Veins will also thrive.

The grand flourishing of the West is imminent.

Hearing this, Zhunti Daoist immediately decided: "Since it’s so, let’s first betray Xuan and establish Buddha, completely severing our karma with Xuan Sect!"

Seeing this, Jieyin Daoist nodded: "It should be so, Hong Jun is the Daoist Ancestor of Xuan Sect, if we still claim ourselves as disciples of Xuan Sect, even if the West flourishes, it would just be making a wedding dress for him!"

"Heavenly Dao above!"

"Great Dao is vast, I choose one path to follow, today I want to leave Xuan Sect, transform the Western Sect into Buddhism, not as a branch of Xuan Sect, not worship Hong Jun, not chant the Yellow Court!"

"From today onwards, Western Sect will be renamed as Buddhism, I, Jieyin, will be Buddhism’s Amitabha!"

"May the Heavenly Dao witness this!"

As soon as these words fell, a Shariputra appeared above Jieyin Daoist’s head, its light illuminating all worlds, and his Daoist robe instantly transformed into a bright kasaya.

Beneath his feet, the "Twelve Grade Merit Golden Lotus" suddenly erupted in brilliant divine light, the echo of Buddha resonated in the void, emitting bursts of fragrance, revealing billions of golden lotuses, blooming in a sea of faith and incense.

"Heavenly Dao above!"

"Great Dao is vast, I choose one path to follow, today I want to leave Xuan Sect, transform the Western Sect into Buddhism, not as a branch of Xuan Sect, not worship Hong Jun, not chant the Yellow Court!"

"From today onwards, the Western Sect will be renamed as Buddhism, I, Zhunti, will be Buddhism’s Zhunti Buddha Mother!"

"May the Heavenly Dao witness this!"

Zhunti Saint followed closely, his Daoist robe turning into a kasaya, with the Bodhi Tree behind him connecting thousands of Buddha countries, making him incredibly bright and sacred.

"Amitabha!"

The two declared the Buddha name together, each displaying their Buddha Golden Body, their aura vibrating the void, every inch of skin flowing with astonishing Buddha nature.

Many powerful beings couldn’t help but turn their heads.

"How daring!"

On Kunlun Mountain, Yuanshi Tianzun also couldn’t help but open his eyes in shock, he hadn’t expected that Jieyin and Zhunti, would dare to betray Xuan Sect and establish their own Buddhism under the watchful eyes of the public.

"How could this happen?"

On Golden Turtle Island, Xuanqing, who was refining the Earth-breaking Chisel, was also in disbelief.

According to the development of Heavenly Dao’s momentum, even if the two Saints of the West wanted to betray Xuan and establish Buddhism, they shouldn’t choose this moment!

Now, not to mention Divine Enthronement, not even the struggle for Human Emperor has ended, where did they get the confidence to betray Xuan and establish Buddhism?

The relationship of The Three Pure Ones has not broken, they haven’t consumed the Fallen Saint Pill, nor have they left the Primordial World, how would they sit idle watching the actions of the Western Two Saints?

Just as The Three Pure Ones prepared to go West to trouble the two, Jieyin Daoist spoke again: "Earth Dao above, I, Jieyin, wish to give up the fruit position of Heavenly Dao Saint, and join the Earth Dao camp, to become a Earth Dao Saint, enhancing the Earth Dao origin with my own, please witness, Earth Dao!"

Zhunti Daoist also echoed: "Earth Dao above, I, Zhunti, wish to give up the fruit position of Heavenly Dao Saint, and join the Earth Dao camp, to become a Earth Dao Saint, enhancing the Earth Dao origin with my own, please witness, Earth Dao!"

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately burst into anger: "Jieyin, Zhunti, do you dare to betray the Heavenly Dao?"

Taiching and Tongtian Sect Master, also were somewhat restless, they didn’t expect that Jieyin and Zhunti, not only wanted to betray Xuan Sect, but also the Heavenly Dao camp, joining the Earth Dao camp.

"Why not dare?"

Jieyin Daoist laughed loudly: "The Daoist Ancestor values you few, my brother and I, are just tools he used to repay the karma of the West!"

"Now that Earth Dao has emerged, Heavenly Dao no longer dominates alone, my brother and I, why continue to look at the faces of you guys and Heavenly Dao?"

Boom!

Heavenly Dao was instantly enraged, sending down endless thunder punishment, to strike down the two from their Saint positions.

However, the speed of Earth Dao was even faster. As soon as the two called upon Earth Dao as their witness, two streams of Xuanhuang Qi, condensed from the essence of Earth Dao, instantly flew towards them, aiding them in achieving the status of Earth Dao Saints.

Nine Destructive World Thunder Dragons descended, seeking to annihilate all, but within Earth Dao, there were also nine streams of Xuanhuang Qi that transformed into True Dragons to meet the Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment.

The power of Heavenly Dao collided with that of Earth Dao, and all creatures in the Primordial World felt a great terror rising in their hearts, causing tides to surge in the river of time and space.

The power of Heavenly Dao was naturally superior to that of Earth Dao, but when Jieyin and Zhunti switched their allegiance to Earth Dao, they offered the essence of Heavenly Dao that they contained as a sacrifice to Earth Dao, as a token of their defection.

As a result, the power of Earth Dao was instantly elevated to a level where it could contend with Heavenly Dao, endlessly colliding in the infinite dimensions of space and time.

The Eye of Heaven manifested above Mount Sumeru, and Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment continuously struck down, its terrifying power seeming to flatten the entire Western region.

"This is bad!"

Seeing this, Tongtian Sect Master swiftly activated the "Jian Mu" to suppress heaven and earth. The roots and branches of Jian Mu turned into a supreme formation, connecting the endless dimensions of void, all to maintain the stability of the Primordial World.

Zhen Yuanzi also used the "Earth Book" to evolve the Earth Fetus Membrane, connecting various Immortal Mountains and blessed lands to exert a force capable of suppressing the universe.

Xuanqing was utterly terrified.

He remembered that not long ago, Tongtian Sect Master had told him that there might soon be an unprecedented catastrophe between Heavenly Dao and Earth Dao.

But he never expected that this catastrophe would come so swiftly, nor did he expect that Jieyin and Zhunti would directly take refuge in Earth Dao.

"These two guys, having owed so much Merit and karma to Heavenly Dao, not only do they refuse to repay, but they even use the essence of Heavenly Dao to strengthen Earth Dao!"

"Such talent!"

In just a moment, Xuanqing understood the purpose of the two Western Saints switching allegiance to Earth Dao. With the protection of Earth Dao’s will, they no longer had to repay their debts!

Not only were their previous debts of Merit written off, but they were also able to seize more authority within Earth Dao while it was newly revived.

Meanwhile, Taiching Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Sect Master, and Nuwa each received an order from Heavenly Dao.

Eliminate Jieyin!

Eliminate Zhunti!

And retrieve all the essence they stole from Heavenly Dao back from Earth Dao.

While Earth Dao, having just gained such immense essence, was not willing to relinquish it easily, they immediately issued instructions to Houtu in the Underworld.

At all costs, protect Jieyin and Zhunti. If they yield to and bow to Heavenly Dao, how could Earth Dao continue to attract other beings?

"This..."

Everyone found it a bit difficult.

If Jieyin and Zhunti had simply betrayed Xuan Sect to establish Buddhism, The Three Pure Ones, as the leaders of Xuan Sect, would naturally not mind giving them a severe lesson.

But now, it involved the clash between Heavenly and Earthly Dao, neither The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, nor Houtu wanted to be involved.

However, their identities and stances left them with no choice but to participate.

"Tai Chi Diagram!"

"Pangu Banner!"

"Red Embroidery Ball!"

Taiching Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Nuwa chose to act simultaneously, their saintly might pouring towards the direction of Mount Sumeru in an instant.

As for the Tongtian Sect Master, since "Jian Mu" was still his true form and needed to suppress the heavenly and earthly void, he was momentarily able to refuse the command of Heavenly Dao.

"Reincarnation Plate!"

"Jieyin Divine Staff!"

"Seven Treasures Marvel Tree!"

Houtu, Jieyin, and Zhunti were also forced to respond, but the manner of their actions seemed somewhat perfunctory.

Just like Taiching Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Nuwa, their moves seemed grand, but in reality, they were less impactful than they appeared.

Compared with their previous actions against the Reincarnation Demon God, it was not even comparable.

Boom!

Heavenly Dao roared, and Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun’s figure slowly manifested in the void. The "Creation Jade Disc" appeared, directly evolving countless Order Chains. With lightning speed, it penetrated through Jieyin and Zhunti.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi within their Primordial Spirits was also stripped away by the force of Heavenly Dao, but at a critical moment, "Pangu Hall" once again erupted with terrifying power.

The Three Realms and Six Paths trembled, countless timelines shattered, directly repelling the "Creation Jade Disc."

As Hong Jun looked at the two streams of Hongmeng Purple Qi being retracted by Heavenly Dao, and then at Jieyin and Zhunti, he couldn’t help but slowly speak, "Let’s stop here! If we continue to fight, the Primordial World may face destruction!"

This time, although Heavenly Dao managed to retrieve the Hongmeng Purple Qi from Jieyin and Zhunti, the essence that they had extracted from Heavenly Dao had already been absorbed by Earth Dao, leaving no way to retrieve it back.

Unless...

Heavenly Dao could suppress Earth Dao with absolute dominance and swallow its essence together!

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, having spoken with Heavenly Dao, saw Heavenly Dao’s will slowly retreat, and with the retreat of Heavenly Dao, the will of Earth Dao also ceased to oppose!

A massive calamity, following the appearance of Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, disappeared into nothingness?

However, many powerful beings could not help but have the same thought...

With the Hongmeng Purple Qi that connected Jieyin and Zhunti to Heavenly Dao being extracted, didn’t it mean that there were now two additional Saint positions within Heavenly Dao?

Especially Hao Tian, who was ecstatic, being the closest child to Daoist Ancestor, perhaps Daoist Ancestor would grant him a stream of Hongmeng Purple Qi?

Turquoise Pool, Emperor Donghua, Kunpeng, and other Great Divine Abilities were also excited, almost seeing themselves becoming Heavenly Dao Saints.

"Take care of yourselves!"

Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun gave Jieyin and Zhunti a cold glance before disappearing from everyone’s sight, his voice echoing like an iceberg in the ears of The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, "Come to Purple Cloud Palace promptly!"
