Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1142 - 366: The Daoist Has Made It

Yangzhou.

"······Supreme Saint of Wuji, radiance bursts forth in solitude. In the silence, the Vast Sect governs the Ten Directions. Within the profound stillness lies the True Eternal Dao, possessing a vast Great Divine Power. Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate, God Xuanqiong."

A thousand echoes, ten thousand voices, countless sounds synchronize in reciting the Treasure Decree, incense fire thought power transforms into a tide, surging towards a mountain shrouded in divine shadows.

Clearly at the junction of Jingyang, fierce formations activate; powerful beings on both sides engage in an intense battle. Clearly, armies are poised against the court's forces from Yu State on another front, with war on the verge of breaking out, yet the common people calmly and devoutly recite the Treasure Decree, worshipping their faith.

Regardless of status, regardless of gender or age, all are gathered around the mountain in reverence, offering their incense.

And atop the mountain's high platform, a white lotus hovers, above it a white-robed Great Master forms a seal technique, guiding the incense fire thought power, manifesting the True Void Home.

The faith of the masses is guided by Tan Wuwei, while the radiance of ten thousand divine spirits is led by another figure on the high platform.

Shen Hou, holding the God-beating Whip, commands the divine spirits, one by one divine shadows under his guidance encircle the mountain in worship. Whether it be the Divine Fruit arranged by the Heavenly Monarch or the Earth Deity Divine Light coming from all directions, all are orderly arrayed, layer upon layer, ultimately converging into the Heavenly Realm above.

The faith of the masses, the worship of ten thousand gods, both gradually reaching their peak during this period, while on the other hand——

"Buzz!"

A deep resonance reverberates in mid-air, numerous large cauldrons appear, shaking the space.

Yangzhou, Qing State, Xuzhou, even Yong Province, Liangzhou Province, five large cauldrons manifest around the mountain. Only the former three are solid, like real large cauldrons, while the latter two are like phantoms, likely to disperse at any moment.

Yet, no matter how illusory, at least the symbolic significance is achieved.

With the emergence of these five large cauldrons, a will echoes within the mountains and rivers, proclaiming dominance to the world.

At the same time, the mountain's shadow seems to become another realm, internally possessing the same mountain and divine shadow, yet eerie and terrifying, carrying a chilling and deathly aura. Ghostly silhouettes dance chaotically within, emitting wails, shrieks, and roars.

That will penetrates beneath the earth, directing the multitude of souls within the evil spirit realm.

'The Heavenly Monarch had long prepared for this,' Tan Wuyan thought inwardly as he witnessed the emergence of this scene.

The Nine Cauldrons symbolize leadership over the mortal world, while below it creates a Netherworld, representing mastery over the Nine Netherworlds. All that's left is Heaven.

Once all three are complete, the Heavenly Monarch can ascend to Second Grade.

Moreover, now no one can stop the Heavenly Monarch.

Tan Wuwei's eyes flashed with visions of the future, seeing the battle in Jingyang land unfold before her eyes, understanding the opponent's every response. Though she was thousands of miles away, Tan Wuwei continuously commanded the front line, intercepting the enemy's offensive.

Meanwhile, over in Yu State······

Tan Wuwei's gaze shifted, "seeing" six dragons pulling the sun gold chariot approaching, a woman on the chariot raised a tattered bag, releasing a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers.

And in Yangzhou, there were Yellow Turban Warriors and Heavenly Soldiers defending, led by Wuqu with the Dragon Crescent Blade of Kaiyang to meet the enemy.

"Heavenly Monarch, everything is as you predicted. After Emperor Jiang left, although the opponent has strength, they still cannot break through the defenses quickly." said Tan Wuwei.

"And there's still Li Taibai."

A faint vertical eye appeared in the shadow of the Heavenly Realm above, and the Heavenly Monarch's voice came, "It is time to move to the next phase."

As his words fell, Tan Wuwei's eyes saw even more futures.

In Yu State, Jizhou, Yan State, across the Three States, an invisible Plague Qi appeared, spreading rapidly.

Plague Umbrellas opened in various places, constantly emitting Plague Qi, bringing disease.

In no more than three days, tens of thousands will die from the plague, with countless afflicted. In this calamitous disaster, the people will instinctively pray to the divine, imploring Heaven······

But their prayers will not be heard by Heaven, their faith will not be received by Heaven, but by another "Heaven."

Seizing faith in the name of Heaven, this is an old trick. Back then, the Taiping Sect caused floods, then used this method to receive faith, raising the Yellow Heaven.

Ordinary people do not know that Heaven does not need faith, nor will they know that their faith will be received by another "Heaven."

Though this trick has been used once, it remains effective.

No······ In fact, it has been used once; its effectiveness is why the Heavenly Monarch is using it.

The Taiping Sect was the Heavenly Monarch's experiment, paving the way ahead for him.

There are also the Buddha Country army under Manjusri's leadership. Manjusri integrated the Great Sun Tathagata Fruit within the External Dharma Form, cultivates the Dharma Form into an alternative Dao Artifact, then merges with the physical body, developing the Tathagata Undestructible True Body.

Currently, Yellow Heaven is the Heavenly Monarch's External Dharma Form, also carrying the Second Grade Jade Emperor Dao Fruit. If the Heavenly Monarch wishes, Yellow Heaven can merge with the physical body.

Perhaps··· Manjusri could devise such an alternative path of Tathagata Undestructible True Body cultivation precisely because the Heavenly Monarch was subtly guiding in the background. After all, Guanyin is the Heavenly Monarch's person.

Moreover, the Tathagata Undestructible True Body involves physical body cultivation, not the strength of the Jiang family, but rather the domain of the Ji family who possess the "Form Tomb." And when it comes to combining "Qi Tomb" and "Form Tomb," who could be more skilled than the Heavenly Monarch?
