"The vital energy is surging and the dragon energy is overwhelming. If ordinary people stayed in this place, they could probably live for thousands of years without cultivating."
The Vajra Pestle, which had arrived at Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain along with Zhou Xuan, flew over in a flash and then flew back and forth, exclaiming in admiration:
“This place is far superior to Mount Sumeru. I’ve followed the old bald man for seventy or eighty thousand years, and only the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and those few forbidden zones of life can compare to this Ninety-Nine Dragons Mountain.”
"If we bury the old monk here, I feel like his body might have already risen from the dead..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Upon hearing these words from the Vajra Pestle, Venerable Kasyapa, a disciple of Amitabha Buddha, couldn't help but cough repeatedly.
"Amitabha Buddha, the idea of a corpse coming back to life is a bit of an exaggeration..."
Sensing the supreme imperial might descending from the Vajra Pestle, Venerable Kasyapa quickly stopped speaking, changed the subject, and turned to look at Zhou Xuan:
"We urge the Great Accomplished Holy Body to perform its great magic using the Immortal Bodhi Tree."
This concerns the most revered Master, Amitabha Buddha, and the immortal Bodhi tree on Mount Sumeru, whose teacher is Venerable Kasyapa, who is not to be harmed.
At this moment, it seemed as if she had completely forgotten what she had just said, and hurriedly urged Zhou Xuan to accumulate experience using the Immortal Bodhi Tree.
Things have varying degrees of importance and urgency, and people are categorized as close or distant, or as relatives or strangers.
For Venerable Kasyapa, the Bodhi tree, compared to Amitabha Buddha, was naturally of less importance.
"brush!"
At this moment, the Undying Green Lotus Medicine is already in a period of transformation, so it naturally does not need the assistance of the Myriad Origin Cauldron.
Therefore, as soon as Venerable Kasyapa finished speaking, Zhou Xuan raised his hand and separated the Myriad Origin Cauldron from the Immortal Lotus Medicine that formed the Immortal Bud of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and captured the Myriad Origin Cauldron containing the immortal activity that stimulated the basic particles that formed the Immortal Divine Medicine.
As the incomplete immortal artifact, the Origin Cauldron of All Things, was brought to him, Zhou Xuan glanced at the Undying Bodhi Medicine floating beside the coffin of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor.
Unlike the immortal lotus medicine which is only one meter long, the Bodhi tree, which Amitabha Buddha Emperor once sat under and comprehended the great Dharma of the Western Desert Buddhism, was about 7.2 meters tall and secretly corresponded to the Eight-Nine Technique.
It has lush foliage and is entirely green.
Above the seventy-two roots, there are scales like dragons, vigorous and powerful, full of vitality.
Looking up, Venerable Kasyapa, understanding the unspoken meaning, bowed respectfully to the Immortal Bodhi Medicine.
Take it out and place it on the Cauldron of All Things Origin.
"It was only by chance that I discovered that the Immortal Elixir, when rooted in the Immortal Cauldron, can gather vitality and transform into a true being capable of controlling itself, by borrowing the Immortal Cauldron's celestial light."
Zhou Xuan, wielding immense magical power and activating the Origin Cauldron of All Things, addressed Venerable Kasyapa:
"However, the moment I discovered the Immortal Lotus Medicine, its roots were already planted on the fragments of the Origin Cauldron of All Things."
"The immortal Bodhi tree takes root in fertile spiritual soil."
"Due to different growth environments, I am not certain whether the Undying Bodhi Medicine can transform into a living being after absorbing the immortal light of the Immortal Cauldron, just like the Undying Green Lotus Medicine."
The discovery of the immortal elixir, which supposedly came after a terrifying catastrophe where a celestial king's immortal body collapsed and his undying soul was forever silenced, and whose corpse miraculously survived in the world, was something Zhou Xuan never shared with the Buddhist sect of the Western Desert.
"Boom!!!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan once again activated all the divine statues.
In an instant, boundless Dao patterns emerged from Zhou Xuan's pupils, forming an unparalleled pupil technique. He looked at the seventy-two roots that were firmly rooted in the Origin Cauldron of All Things, tightly enveloping the incomplete Immortal Cauldron within the Bodhi Tree, the immortal divine medicine.
Originating from the Taiyin and Taiyang, the Stone Emperor Amitabha, and even the Divine Eye Great Technique of the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor, one can only see the Immortal Bodhi Tree overflowing with divine light, surging with primordial energy, and filled with the fragrance of medicine, brimming with the Daoist charm that naturally draws people closer to the Dao.
Zhou Xuan developed an unparalleled pupil technique based on the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique.
Just like when he last looked at the Immortal Lotus Elixir, the Immortal Bodhi Tree disintegrated into countless, infinitely subdivided particles the moment he looked at it.
Until Zhou Xuan reaches the limit of his current stage, when there is no more room to divide it.
A smile finally appeared at the corner of Zhou Xuan's eyes, because this Immortal Bodhi Tree, like the Immortal Green Lotus Medicine, possessed an immortal and eternally active essence far surpassing that of the Origin Cauldron of All Things, even at its most basic particles.
Clearly, like the Immortal Lotus Medicine, this Immortal Bodhi Tree was also transformed from an immortal king whose immortal body was completely destroyed and whose undying primordial spirit was utterly and eternally silenced countless ages ago.
Two consecutive elixirs of immortality resulted in the extraordinary survival of immortal kings' corpses in the mortal realm.
This made Zhou Xuan even more convinced that the vast universe he was in at this moment had suffered a terrifying war countless years ago, when the Immortal Kings could not be controlled and the origin of the universe was exhausted, causing the world's status to decline to the point that it could only support the existence of the highest level of humanity to stand in the present world.
While pondering the matter, Zhou Xuan's hands did not slow down in the slightest.
The vast primordial energy stored up from the primordial essence of countless ancient life stars that the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain had devoured was directly used to strengthen the Origin Cauldron of All Things.
"Boom!!!"
Under Zhou Xuan's full urging, the partially damaged Origin Cauldron of All Things was pushed to the limit of the power that Zhou Xuan was currently displaying.
The vast and boundless peerless immortal light, transforming from light into gas and then condensing into liquid, swept away all immortal killing intent and flowed gently towards the seventy-two roots of the Immortal Bodhi Tree, which resembled writhing dragons.
The immortal Bodhi tree, originally rooted in the supreme spiritual soil and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, received the immortal essence condensed by the immortal artifact and immortal light in an instant.
It was as if he had swallowed a powerful tonic; the lush branches and leaves all exuded boundless Daoist charm. With the convergence of Daoist charm, Zhou Xuan clearly sensed that his cultivation speed had increased significantly once again.
If this Undying Bodhi Medicine, which can enhance comprehension and accelerate cultivation progress, had fallen into my hands from the very beginning, I'm afraid I would have already reached the level of a Second Emperor.
But good food is worth waiting for.
Once the Immortal Bodhi Tree transforms from an immortal elixir into a 'human,' and I incur the great karmic debt of being reborn as a 'human,' this Immortal Bodhi Tree will then be renamed Zhou!
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xuan's eyes were filled with Dao runes.
Without hesitation, the firepower was increased, and boundless magical power surged into the Origin Cauldron of All Things, making the condensation speed of the liquid immortal light even faster.
"Namo Amitabha Buddha, I will lend a helping hand to the Holy Body."
At that very moment, a Buddhist chant rang in Zhou Xuan's ears.
Following closely behind, Nadeximo, whose power was supplied by the faith of all Buddhist cultivators and believers in the universe, had now stabilized his normal combat strength to the level of a flawless 12th-tier Great Emperor. He had even nurtured a special bloodline unique to the Great Emperors of the human race. The golden Buddha clasped his hands together and stepped forward.
Together with Zhou Xuan, they slowly stretched out their palms towards the direction of the Origin Cauldron of All Things.
"Boom!!!"
The golden Buddha, displaying flawless Emperor-level combat power, extended his palm in an instant.
The Great Emperor Amitabha Buddha once personally measured every inch of the Western Desert with his own two fleshy feet. Every mountain, forest, river, and even every living being there was a surge of Buddhist Dharma energy.
At the same time, a vast and boundless expanse, surging and turbulent like a boundless ocean, was formed by the pure faith power that had been cleansed countless times by the Amitabha Sutra. Like a great river bursting its banks, it surged towards the direction of the Origin Cauldron of All Things.
Not only in the Western Desert, but also throughout the vast universe for 72,000 years, Buddhism has spread throughout the universe. It can be said that on every ancient planet with life, there is a Buddhist lineage, and even if there are no Buddhist practitioners, there are Buddhist believers.
Therefore, the Western Desert Buddhist sect, founded by the Great Emperor Amitabha, who gathered the power of faith from the entire universe, and after countless years of evolution, has begun to nurture the golden Buddha body with its unique bloodline fluctuations, while the Buddha's power surges.
The three thousand worlds trembled in unison. On all the ancient stars where Buddhist traditions and believers remained, a torrent of faith surged forth, blessing the golden Buddha.
In an instant, the sound of worshiping Buddha resounded throughout all the heavens and myriad realms, and throughout the three thousand great universes.
"The commotion is a bit too much."
Listening to the vast and boundless chanting of Buddhist prayers, Zhou Xuan, who had activated the Origin Cauldron of All Things, frowned and spoke.
"Buzz!"
Almost at the same time as Zhou Xuan spoke, the seven supreme, self-sealed, terrifying and bizarre forbidden zones of life that had stood on the Eastern Wilderness since countless ages trembled.
Clearly, the golden Buddha statue that caused such a commotion triggered unusual activity in the forbidden zone of life.
"Namo Amitabha."
Zhou Xuan, sensing the unusual activity in the forbidden zone of life, frowned deeply as he gazed at the Myriad Origin Cauldron rooted in the Immortal Bodhi Tree.
At the same time, a gentle yet resolute voice rang in Zhou Xuan's ears:
"Do not worry about the Great Accomplished Holy Body. The calamity in the forbidden zone was caused by our Buddhist sect, and it should be resolved by our Buddhist sect."
"We also request the Imperial Army to connect with Buddhist faith, mobilize the power of the Western Desert, and assist the Holy Body in performing the Dharma."
At this point, the elderly and frail Venerable Kasyapa slowly straightened his slightly hunched back and began to speak:
"This humble monk will travel to the Eastern Wilderness along with the essence of my Buddhist sect, to have a proper exchange with the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone."
"Wow!!"
The moment the words left his lips, a powerful, masculine, and naturally Buddhist peacock-like cry resounded from the brow of Venerable Kasyapa.
Immediately following, a five-colored peacock with a tail feather of extreme ancient imperial power, its entire body cascading down like a string of silver rivers, emerged into the sky, as if carrying the blue sky and bearing the three thousand great worlds.
"brush!!!"
As the supreme ancient emperor's might surged forth, the five-colored peacock burst forth into the sky.
The golden Buddha, his hands forming the Dharma mudra, then swept up Venerable Kasyapa and floated out, taking his seat in the forbidden zone once subdued by the Great Emperor Amitabha, the Dark Supreme Peacock Emperor.
After his lifespan ended, the flawless ancient emperor's body, along with the colorless divine light of the ancient emperor's weapon, was refined by Amitabha Buddha into the spine of the Buddha Mother Peacock King, a product of Buddhist tradition.
It tore through layers of space and shattered the heavens and the universe as it descended upon the Eastern Wilderness.
At the same time, just as Amitabha Buddha subdued the Peacock Emperor in the past, the golden-bodied Buddha, sitting upright on the back of the Peacock Emperor and radiating the unique aura of a flawless human emperor, joined Venerable Kasyapa in chanting the Buddha's name while forming hand mudras:
"Namo Amitabha!"
"The Flawless Human Emperor!"
The instant the golden Buddha's aura surged, within the seven forbidden zones of life, the supreme being of the forbidden zones, who, in order to prolong their lifespan, severed their flawless imperial status and sealed themselves within their forbidden zones, instantly turned their head in surprise:
"How can it be!"
"The Heavenly Heart remains; between Heaven and Earth, there is no Great Emperor's Dao Law that hangs in the air, pressing down upon all other Daos."
"Between heaven and earth, primordial essence flowed, as if a golden age had just begun."
"Under these circumstances, how could there possibly be a flawless emperor!"
"..."
Sensing the golden Buddha statue, my entire body surged with boundless energy.
All the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones who were active opened their eyes and looked toward the golden Buddha sitting on the back of the Peacock Ancient Emperor in the sky above the Eastern Wilderness. The Buddha seemed to be connected to the Peacock Ancient Emperor's corpse, a different body with the same body.
"That is... the physical body of an ancient emperor!"
"Not only the physical body, but even the ancient emperor's weapon is there!"
"This form, with its Daoist aura that seems capable of sweeping away everything, this peacock is an ancient peacock emperor who attained enlightenment in the primordial era, sealed itself off from the Primordial Ancient Mine, and swallowed trillions of living beings in one gulp!"
The moment the ancient primordial mine recognized the being bearing the golden body of Buddha as the Peacock Emperor who had attained enlightenment in the Primordial Era, the Primordial Mine rippled, followed by several supreme divine thoughts that surged forth and shot towards the direction of the Peacock Emperor's corpse.
At the moment the Primordial Ancient Mine stirred, the Peacock Ancient Emperor sat cross-legged on his back. The instant he sat down, a twelve-tiered golden lotus platform of merit appeared beneath him, supporting the golden Buddha with his hands forming the Dharma teaching mudra.
And the Venerable Kasyapa, who stood to the left rear of the golden Buddha, connected to the corpse of the Peacock Ancient Emperor, and who controlled the Peacock Ancient Emperor, as well as the colorless divine light of the Extreme Dao Ancient Emperor's weapon, all turned around and looked toward the several divine thoughts originating from the Primordial Ancient Mine.
