Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer-Chapter 414 - 413: Fierce Competition for Saint Seats, Lin Heng Finally Becomes an Ancestral Immortal [Part 2]
"Seems like they’re trying to intimidate me?"
Sandalwood Merit Buddha’s eyes were gloomy: "If I recall correctly, there was once a broken Immortal-slaying Flying Saber, which I believe Maitreya Buddha has kept!"
"What?" Victorious Fighting Buddha raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly suspicious: "Wait, could it be that the Immortal-slaying Flying Saber was meant to deal with me at the start?"
His mind was astute, sensing the scent of a conspiracy, he couldn’t help frowning.
Sandalwood Merit Buddha said coldly: "It must be indeed!"
"That old thing secretly gave the flying saber to Bajie, using his hand to kill you, then incited Infinite Buddha to avenge his disciples. No surprise, he intends for Infinite Buddha to destroy everyone in the Immortal Court!"
"Even if I guessed the matter afterwards, there would be no living witness to confirm it!"
"The old thing, hiding in Little Western Heaven without showing up, truly has no good intentions!"
Victorious Fighting Buddha also clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, saying:
"That scoundrel sees that the World Honored One cannot make an appearance, so he indulges in these backdoor maneuvers, truly detestable!"
Only now did he realize that from the moment he stepped out of Buddha Country, he was already being plotted against.
"But speaking of which, Infinite Buddha and Maitreya Buddha also seem to have differences, right? Why would he listen to his incitement, specifically emerging in Eastern Desolate Continent?"
"Could it be just to vent frustration for a few disciples?"
Sandalwood Merit Buddha said coldly: "Impossible, in my view, that old thing must have promised the Dharma Gate to Quasi-Saint status to Infinite Buddha, which prompted him to break the seal and come forth!"
Victorious Fighting Buddha, hearing this, thought for a moment and nodded: "It’s possible."
"Infinite Buddha has been stuck at the Ancestral Immortal Peak for hundreds of thousands of years, consistently in seclusion to grasp the Quasi-Saint Technique, yet always failing to achieve that profound understanding."
"Maitreya Buddha, however, is the most extreme Quasi-Saint. Simply in terms of understanding the Quasi-Saint state, perhaps not even the World Honored One is as thorough as him."
"If he used this as bait, the emergence of Infinite Buddha makes sense."
"But speaking of which, with the opportunity for a Saint position approaching, every additional Quasi-Saint represents another competitor for others!"
"Would Maitreya Buddha really dare to take such a risk to deal with me?"
Victorious Fighting Buddha was somewhat perplexed.
Yet Sandalwood Merit Buddha said: "If someone were to destroy the fundamental fortune of Infinite Buddha, then even if he acquired the Quasi-Saint Technique, it would be difficult for him to make that step."
Victorious Fighting Buddha’s expression froze.
The next second, he heard Sandalwood Merit Buddha say: "That’s why I wondered why Nezha appeared; it seems it’s all just Maitreya Buddha’s arrangement."
Victorious Fighting Buddha raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean, Nezha came?"
Sandalwood Merit Buddha replied calmly: "He came and he left."
"He destroyed the Dao Field of Infinite Buddha, surrounded by countless celestial beings and Buddhas, he was supposed to be doomed, yet was rescued by Nether River Ancestor."
"What?"
Victorious Fighting Buddha widened his eyes, golden light flickering at his ears, and with a swish, his ears transformed into Six Ears.
He directly listened to the matters of Buddha Country, all brilliance entered his ears, and after a long time, he furrowed his brows:
"Unexpectedly, all these happened in Buddha Country while I was away..."
"But speaking of which, are you sure it’s Nether River Ancestor? He seemed to have vanished for several eras?" Victorious Fighting Buddha felt it was somewhat surreal.
Sandalwood Merit Buddha replied indifferently: "What vanishing, he was merely lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to become a Saint."
"Indeed." Victorious Fighting Buddha nodded.
Not to mention those who have already become Saints, among the current Quasi-Saints, many have been lurking for millions of years.
Usually unseen.
But once the opportunity for a Saint position arrives, they emerge one after another decisively!
"Nether River Ancestor has Heaven-Reaching strength, will he interfere with the World Honored One’s plans?" Victorious Fighting Buddha suddenly became somewhat worried.
Sandalwood Merit Buddha, however, was uninterested: "He practices the Yin Nether Path, contesting at most for the Underworld Saint position, not conflicting with me, he cannot and wouldn’t dare ruin my affairs." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"However..."
Sandalwood Merit Buddha paused and then laughed: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva may indeed find it a headache."
Victorious Fighting Buddha nodded upon hearing this: "The competition for a Mortal World Saint position is intense, but the Underworld is equally so, perhaps even more frightening."
"Lord of the Demon Race, Great Qin Ancestral Dragon, Demon Venerable of the Demon Race, and now there’s Nether River Ancestor."
The ones that have surfaced are already formidable enough; when the moment truly arrives, who knows how fierce the battle will be."
Victorious Fighting Buddha sighed heavily.
Though currently there are vacant Saint positions.
It’s not a simple matter of assuming the spot.
One must wait for a specific moment, when the opportunity for Sainthood descends, only then can various parties compete.
And without doubt, when that moment arrives.
Whether it’s the Grand Thousand Worlds or the Three Thousand Small World, it will undoubtedly be a calamity for all living beings!
The Demon Star Yinghuo, one of the Mortal World Saints, is the most typical example.
According to legend.
In that instance of Saint position contention, the number of destroyed Small Thousand Worlds reached ten thousand.
Countless lives perished, numbering no less than hundreds of trillions, even more than trillions!
Thus, it can be seen.
Becoming a Saint is a reward for a Quasi-Saint, yet a disaster for all beings.
...
...
Three months passed.
The news of Infinite Buddha and Victorious Fighting Buddha’s downfall in Eastern Desolate Continent has spread throughout the Five Great Immortal Realms.
Undoubtedly, it sparked a heated discussion across the realms.
"Not at all, what on earth is that Immortal Court lord in Eastern Desolate Continent?"
"In Southern Heaven Continent, killed Venerable, in Jambudvipa Continent, killed Bodhisattva, already remarkable enough, after landing in Eastern Desolate Continent, why is he becoming increasingly formidable? Victorious Fighting Buddha actually fell at his hands, that was Victorious Fighting Buddha!"
"I thought my ten-thousand-year cultivation reaching Profound Immortal made me an extraordinary genius of the era, yet I didn’t expect such a monstrous being exists in this world? Truly, there are people beyond people, mountains beyond mountains!"
"..."
Many Immortals sighed, the breakthrough speed of that Immortal Court lord caused all those who considered themselves geniuses to feel ashamed, thinking that compared to him, they were like dull horses to Qilin, crows compared to Phoenix.
However, some little fairies were overjoyed.
"Just like this, such an existence is truly compatible with me!"
"I heard that the Immortal Court lord is currently single; I’ll travel to Eastern Desolate Continent and create an immortal couple tale with him!"
"Junior sister, wait for me, I’ll accompany you!"
"No, senior sister, hadn’t you already bonded with senior brother as Dao companions?"
"No, your senior brother isn’t the man of my dreams; my supreme hero must be like the Daoist Lord!"
"What? You’ve parted ways with senior brother?"
"Not quite, I’m just heading to Eastern Desolate Continent for a look first. If there’s no chance, I’ll have to return!"
"..."
Lin Heng probably wouldn’t have thought.
As his fame soared, the relationships between Dao companions in the Grand Thousand Upper Realm would undergo unprecedented upheaval.
...
Another half month later.
As immense pressure swept through Eastern Desolate Continent.
Shen Gongbao and others instantly realized that the Daoist Lord had truly achieved Ancestral Immortal status!
