Chapter 350: Chapter 306: The Ancient Da Neng All Emerge

It is said that Fuxi was outwitted by the Tathagata, who used a secret technique to extend Nurhaci’s life. The Great Qi Runner that Rain Mage Chi Songzi killed was not Huang Taiji, but rather Nurhaci, who should have died long ago.

Huang Taiji had long since begun negotiating with Wu Sangui near Shanhai Pass. Wu Sangui wanted to lead him into the pass to eliminate Li Zicheng, while Huang Taiji sought to seize the opportunity to enter the pass and take over the world. Both harbored their own schemes. Most Central Plains people looked down on the Steppe peoples from the Uttara Kuru Kingdom, and Wu Sangui was no exception. In his view, although Huang Taiji was formidable, he was ultimately nothing more than a brute! Once he and Li Zicheng had worn each other down inside the pass, Wu Sangui planned to crush Huang Taiji in one fell swoop.

However, this would likely make the gruesome massacres of the Yangzhou Massacre and the Jiading Three Massacres inevitable. Huang Taiji was born to disrupt the qi fate of the Southern Toad Continent. The more people of the Southern Toad Continent he killed, the stronger their qi fate would become, and the more chaotic the order of the Heavenly Dao.

"Damn it!" Chi Songzi punched the void, causing it to shatter and emit Primordial Chaos Qi, "To think that at the last moment, the Tathagata would pull such a move, failing to kill Huang Taiji! Instead, the one killed was Nurhaci, who should have died years ago! This infuriates me!"

If Huang Taiji had been slain, the Qing Army would have surely fallen into chaos and retreated. Wu Sangui could then find a way to work with the generals inside the pass to eliminate Li Zicheng, which could possibly have given the Great Ming some time to cling to life.

Fuxi said gravely, "Now that the Qing Army has likely entered the pass, the collapse of the Heavenly Dao order is imminent, and All Buddhas will once again descend."

This is the great calamity of heaven and earth, even the Heavenly Dao pushes it forward, for it is through this great cataclysm that transcendence can be achieved!

Transcendence, transcendence! Once transcendence is reached, all will live peacefully and joyously, the world will experience Ultimate Bliss. The Medicine Buddha had already said this. Moreover, there will be no more slaughtering calamities in the world, the order of the Heavenly Dao will no longer be chaotic, no more malignant tumors will grow, and that is true stability!

Both worlds of the Heavenly Dao strive for transcendence, so they both push this great earthly calamity forward. In the Otherworld, a colossal revolution has also erupted, with blood and fire flying everywhere, and endless warfare as the order of the Heavenly Dao gradually collapses.

The Tathagata’s trick is terribly powerful, effectively incapacitating Fuxi and Chi Songzi. If not for Fuxi’s extraordinary Eight Trigrams Mystical Arts, the two might have already been slain by the Nine Heavens.

"They’re awakening!" said Fuxi, as the stone statues in the South Sea Ruins began to tremble, with an overwhelming surge of Dragon Qi seemingly boiling.

"Om rumble!",

Thunders echoed like roars as one stone statue after another cracked open, each releasing Buddha and ancient powers within. These Buddhas were the true Buddhas of the Spirit Mountain, beings who had attained enlightenment in Ancient Times, wielding fearsome strength.

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha emerged and upon seeing Chi Songzi and Fuxi, he joined his hands in salute, saying, "So it is His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and Rain Mage Chi Songzi."

Fuxi was manifesting a wisp of consciousness from the Heavenly Emperor Sword and appeared somewhat vague as he said, "Duobao Tathagata, in your reincarnation as Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, you were gravely injured during the Middle Ancient Times war and have now finally reemerged! The imposter Tathagata now controls Mount Meru, commanding three thousand various Buddhas from the Otherworld, Vajra as numerous as the clouds, and countless Bodhisattvas. It will not be easy for you to reclaim Mount Meru."

Siddhartha Gautama lowered his eyes and replied softly, "Amitabha and Zhun Ti Buddha Ancestor have already calculated for this. When the time comes, they will stir the very foundations of Mount Meru. Allied with the help of the Daoist, we should naturally be able to expel the Tathagata."

Fuxi nodded and said, "There is no time to lose. The great calamity of heaven and earth is about to descend. You must act swiftly, lest any delay lead to unforeseen changes."

Siddhartha Gautama Buddha was an immensely great being, who with just a thought could know the past and the future, and naturally understood that this was a crucial moment. Once the Qing soldiers entered the pass, the great calamity would erupt! With Fuxi and Chi Songzi outwitted by the Tathagata, they dared not show themselves for fear of being settled by the Heavenly Dao. They were relying on the defenses of the South Sea Ruins and the Eight Trigrams Secret Technique to deceive and hide; otherwise, they would have already turned to dust.

Then, a Taoist arrived in the South Sea Ruins, carrying a Bamboo Staff.

Siddhartha Gautama hurried to bow, saying, "Greetings, Zhun Ti Buddha Ancestor!"

The newcomer was Sleeping Immortal Chen Tuan, a part of Zhun Ti’s Primordial Spirit reincarnated, who also possessed Zhun Ti’s Six Routes of Pure Bamboo.

Chen Tuan shook his head saying, "I am not yet Zhun Ti until this physical body integrates with my true form. At present, I am not him." He glanced at Fuxi and Chi Songzi, "This time, the Heavenly Emperor has been too impulsive, rashly acting against Huang Taiji and falling into the Tathagata’s trap. Now you cannot go out, you must even hide deeper in the Ruins to avoid detection by the Nine Heavens and being directly slain."

The Nine Heavens were akin to the Emperor’s envoys while Chi Songzi and Fuxi were like rebellious ministers and traitors, thus they had to hide.

Now embodying the demeanor of a Saint, Chen Tuan’s every move was integrated with the Heavenly Dao, his aura one of transcendence and sanctity. The Six Routes of Pure Bamboo in his hand glowed brightly.

"The Tathagata controls the qi fate of the West Cow He State, and we must eradicate him," said Siddhartha Gautama with a solemn expression.

"It is almost time to take action!" the Ancestral Dragon, Ying Long, said in a deep voice.

All ancient powers awakened fully today, multiplying the combat strength of the Heavenly Dao World by a hundredfold. Even when facing the Buddhas of the Spirit Mountain, it wasn’t a problem, though casualties were inevitable. A hard battle awaited against the Otherworld.

Siddhartha Gautama said, "I shall visit the Three Pure in the Thirty-Three Heavens, requesting their aid, and also invite the Daoist experts to join the battle in order to ensure the Tathagata’s death."
