Chapter 367: Chapter 310: The Mixed Yuan Seed Finally Germinates_3

A levee thousands of miles long is destroyed by an ant hole, and although they were as insignificant as ants in the midst of the Gathering of Ten Thousand Buddhas, they nonetheless played a key role.

Wukong stealthily absorbed the energy of the Golden Core and, using the Divine Skills of the Fate-Stealing Whip, with the Divine Thoughts of the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch causing mischief as well, he found it effortless to absorb the energy, and it was not easy for Tathagata to detect. Torrents of True Qi surged into his Primordial Spirit, almost bursting him alive!

"No, this energy is too domineering, too immense! God-Beating Whip, Jingu Bang, absorb together!" The Jingu Bang, after absorbing a bit, became immediately saturated and would explode if it continued to absorb. Only the Divine Whip kept drawing endlessly from the infinite power flowing from the Fate-Stealing Whip.

The power Wukong absorbed was that of countless Quasi-Saints, creators, and even an endless number of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortals. It was like a vast sea, and he was but a great river drawing from it, never able to draw it all, and yet undetectable because the power was so immense. No sooner had he drawn some away than more power rose up, eluding Tathagata’s notice.

"Great, great, great! Continue to draw! Store the power in the God-Beating Whip; it will definitely unleash terrifying power when the time comes!" Wukong rejoiced in his heart.

"You absorb too, pour the energy into the Mixed Yuan Seed, causing it to sprout. Inside it lies the knowledge and principles of the Quasi-Saints. If you can steal all of Tathagata’s destiny, even Becoming a Saint is not impossible!" The stern voice of the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch came from the Fate-Stealing Whip, reprimanding Wukong, startling him into alertness.

"Yes, Teacher! I will absorb now!" In past years, Wukong had debated with the Three Pure at the Heavenly Court, and a seed with the potential to become a Saint had been planted in his heart. This Mixed Yuan Seed was cultivated collaboratively by the Six Saints under Fuxi’s scheming, chosen to plant in the person most likely to become a Saint.

Wukong channeled the tremendous force into the Mixed Yuan Seed, which was as inert as a pebble, but after continuous infusion, it cracked open, sprouting a new shoot that landed atop Wukong’s Primordial Dao Fruit.

A Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal needed to condense a Primordial Dao Fruit, which was a key existence in proving the Primordial Way! The Mixed Yuan Seed held a mystical similarity to the Primordial Dao Fruit but was even more magical! Now with both integrated, an endless force poured into it, strengthening his Primordial Dao Fruit and accelerating the sprouting of the Mixed Yuan Seed! A flood of knowledge and principles surged into his mind, almost causing his Primordial Spirit to explode, and the fire of his soul boiled, as if it would melt his body.

The Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch said, "The Mixed Yuan Seed is a product of our six Saints’ research, under Fuxi’s planning, a major opportunity to become a Saint! After the creation of the world, when Hongjun Daozu ceased his lectures, no one else in the world became a Saint. Zhunti and Jieyin became Saints also by the deeds of the Various Heavens, gaining great destiny and great merit! Your hope of becoming a Saint now is even greater than theirs at the time!"

Zhunti and Jieyin accepted Buddhist Law, also listened in the Purple Cloud Palace, and then returned to establish Buddhism, achieving sainthood. Since then, the Purple Cloud Palace has not opened again, which is why the Heaven-Penetrating Hierarch said that after the Purple Cloud Palace stopped lecturing, no one became a Saint in the world.

"What exactly is the Primordial Great Way?" Wukong asked.

"It is the infinite, the boundless, the limitless, the true essence, the Gate of Many Marvels, everything in heaven and earth!" the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch began to transmit his Great Dao.

"You must quickly comprehend the mysteries of the Primordial, seizing this opportunity to steal strength and destiny, to achieve sainthood! Now the Array of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage Formation are fiercely contending, and once a corner of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pilgrimage Formation is broken, the Exquisite Pagoda in the heavens will instantly crush all the Vajra, the Jade Box of Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch will turn all the Bodhisattvas into blood, and my Four Swords of Celestial Slaying will slaughter All Buddhas! The remaining Holy Monks, Bhikkhunis, Jiedi, protectors, and others, The Two Saints of the West will emerge to settle accounts with them." the Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch began to convey to Wukong how to strategize and when to act to steal Tathagata’s great destiny.

"You must frantically steal destiny the instant we strike because once those people are killed, the destiny will dissipate."

Wukong quickly agreed, "But do not kill the wrong people; we have allies among them!"

The Heaven-Penetrating Sect Hierarch said, "Don’t worry, we already have a clear understanding. Our allies will not be harmed, but the rest must be completely exterminated! They are the toxic tumors of the Heavenly Dao, and they must be slain, or it will eventually harm our Heavenly Dao. No, it’s already happened; Wu Sangui is about to open Shanhai Pass, and Huang Taiji may enter the pass! Therefore, we must quickly end this battle, otherwise, even if the Heavenly Dao transcends, the Human Path in the world will no longer exist, everyone will be degraded, morality will hit rock bottom, just like beasts."

"The Swallowing Dragon Stele is a Heavenly Dao Rune, and it must also have a great use. You must be ready! It may be the key to transcendence, or it may be a fallback left by a failed transcendence of the Heavenly Dao."

Wukong said, "Good! I’ve noted it down and will wait for the moment a corner of the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation breaks open to steal Tathagata’s destiny."

The moment Wukong steals the destiny, Tathagata will definitely notice and directly attempt to slay him. The current Tathagata, with the strength of all Buddhas, could easily kill him, while the Three Pure would intervene at that moment to stop Tathagata.

"Mixed Yuan Seed, continue to sprout, grow quickly, and fully integrate with the Primordial Dao Fruit so that I can also grasp the Primordial Great Way from it!" Hun is Chaos, from which all things originate; Yuan is Yuan Shi, an ancient existence in Taoist terminology, which is older than "one" and is almost synonymous with the Dao.
