The Heavenly Demons' Bane
Although Buddhism and Buddhist Dao were created, in the vast Primordial World where powerful lineages were everywhere, apart from the Western Paradise, no one cultivated them in other regions.
There are two reasons for this. First, Merit is hard to earn. Buddhist Dao Origin from the path of Merit, and their roots lie in Merit. Without Merit, it is difficult to ascend to higher realms.
Secondly, the Primordial World is filled with various traditions. Whether it is the Mystic Sect, or the Shrouding Heaven Method and the teachings of the Hundred Schools of Thought inherited by Fuxi of the Human Race, their cultivation difficulty and combat Divine Ability far exceed those of the unorthodox Buddhist Dao and Daoist sects.
But now that the Jieyin has confirmed that Buddhist Dao and Daoism have the ability to weaken the Outside-Heaven Demons, the expressions of everyone present have changed.
They are currently dealing with Heart-Demon King at the Sage Realm. If Buddhist Dao can suppress Heart-Demon King at the Sage Realm, wouldn't they be even more effective against ordinary Outside-Heaven Demons?
"Jieyin, bring me a Buddhist Dao cultivation technique. I'll test Buddhist Dao effectiveness."
Realizing this, Laozi quickly looked at Jieyin and asked for a Buddhist Dao cultivation method.
The cultivation technique was completed in the blink of an eye. Laozi looked at his own Heart Demons and waved his hand, unleashing Great Liberation Buddha Light.
Although Laozi's Heart Demons reacted quickly by using the Taiqing Immortal Light to defend themselves, they were still swept away by the sudden attack of the Great Liberation Buddha Light.
Where the Buddha Light struck, a portion of the Heart Demons energy within was clearly swept away.
Seeing this, Laozi quickly used the old method to kill it again. After it revived, Laozi looked again and found that the Heart Demons energy that had been cut away by the Buddha Light had not recovered.
"This method is feasible!"
Seeing that Laozi's experiment was successful, Zhunti Jieyin a glance, their excitement overflowing.
Buddhist Dao and Daoism have miraculous effects on Outside-Heaven Demons; this is truly the best news they've received recently. The Western Paradise is destined for prosperity!
But before the two could rejoice for long, they saw Nuwa in the distance suddenly leave the Landscape of Mountains and Rivers, and the State, and unleash her Merit Golden Wheel, crushing down on her own Heart Demons.
The Heart Demons, whose demonic energy was merely stripped away by the Buddha Light, were almost instantly melted by the Merit Golden Wheel, and were burned alive by it.
Seeing this, everyone was speechless for a moment. The Heart Demons of the saints were also frightened and quickly gathered together, preparing to fight their way out.
At this moment, Nuwa's Heart Demons slowly revived, but at a glance, everyone could see that it was very weak.
"It seems that what truly suppresses the Outside-Heaven Demons is Merit." Nuwa summoned her Merit Golden Wheel, glanced at the consumption, and said, "Not bad, not much consumed."
The other sages stared at the obviously missing piece of Nuwa and were speechless for a moment.
Their Merits were not as great as Nuwa's, and seeing this, they silently returned to study Buddhist Dao.
At this moment, Tongtian suddenly used a sword formation to suppress Nuwa's Heart Demons, who had just been resurrected, and summoned his natal Magic Treasures, the Qingping Sword, to strike.
The Qingping Sword contains some of the creation Merits that Tongtian possessed, so it can barely be considered a Merit Spiritual Treasure.
Merit Spiritual Treasures are clearly effective against Heart Demons as well.
Tongtian and Nuwa exchanged a glance upon seeing this, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
If it's true that only Buddhist Dao and Daoism have a suppressive effect on the Outside-Heaven Demons, then they're really in a difficult situation. After all, the great calamity of the Outside-Heaven Demons is something all Primordial World beings will have to face.
However, if the Merit Spiritual Treasures also take effect, then neither the Human Race nor the Interception Sect will be afraid. After all, the Human Race has no shortage of Merit Spiritual Treasures, Tongtian also has the means to refine them.
In addition, the Outside-Heaven Demons Heavenly Dao will reward you with Merit for slaying extraterrestrial demons. You can use the Merit gained from slaying Outside-Heaven Demons to refine Merit Spiritual Treasures, and then obtain even more Merit.
In this way, the Great Dao to enlightenment indeed held a glimmer of hope.
Having discovered that Merit could restrain Outside-Heaven Demons, the saints decided not to linger in the Chaos.
These Heart-Demon King cannot be completely killed before the great calamity fully erupts, so they are being dragged here, which is a complete waste of time.
"In that case, why don't we each contribute a portion of our Merit to form an array to seal them here? Once the great calamity has fully erupted, we can then come back and kill them?"
Laozi thought for a moment and then offered his suggestion.
"Good."
"Can."
All the saints agreed that they did not want to waste their time here.
Just then, these Sage Heart Demons, fearing the same fate as Nuwa's Heart Demons, gathered together. Tongtian suppressed them directly with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and after leaving behind a sufficient amount of Merit, the saints returned to the Primordial World.
Upon arriving in the primordial Primordial World, Jieyin, Zhunti, Laozi, and Yuanshi headed directly towards the Zixiao Palace.
At this moment, inside the Zixiao Palace, Haotian was kneeling outside the Zixiao Palace.
Upon seeing this troublesome thing, the sages ignored it completely and went straight into the Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun looked somewhat surprised when he saw everyone return.
"How did you all return at the same time? What did you do with those Demon Kings?"
Hongjun had been keeping an eye on the Human Race. Just as he saw Nuwa and Tongtian return, he turned around and found that his four disciples had also returned, which startled him.
With all six returning, wouldn't those Demon Kings be left unchecked?
If a war Sages were to break out in the Primordial World, it would be the Primordial World that would suffer.
"Master, those Heart Demons have been suppressed by your disciples. We have come together today because we have important matters to report."
Jieyin then directly informed Hongjun of everyone's discovery, before abruptly Jieyin the subject. "Master, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity is now over."
When will the Western Paradise prosper?
"The Western Ley Lines were destroyed by the Demon Ancestor Luohu, and now the Extraterrestrial Demons Calamity Luohu has designed is about to descend upon the Primordial World. And our Western Paradise methods happen to be able to restrain the Outside-Heaven Demons."
"This act of drinking and eating is interconnected, signifying that it is time for us in the Western Paradise to flourish."
Zhunti this, Zhunti quickly added, "Yes, Master, the Journey to the West Calamity has to be brought forward due to the changes in the origin of the Primordial World's ascension."
"If the timeline were truly as ordained by the Heavenly Secrets, that Lingming Stone Monkey would likely have already attained the Great Luo."
"Moreover, we cannot act rashly against the Human Race at present, and the Demon Race is a vassal of the Heavenly Court. It just so happens that the Outside-Heaven Demons have arrived, so we might as well start the Journey to the Journey to the West Calamity as soon as possible and turn the Human Race and Demon Race races into Outside-Heaven Demons."
"The Merits and Fortune gained from using Outside-Heaven Demons to face the calamity may far exceed those of the original Journey to the West Calamity."
Upon hearing this, Hongjun frowned.
Zhunti said was true. As the Primordial World was upgraded, the Five-Colored Stone Fragment that was nurturing the Lingming Stone Monkey also benefited from it, and the Lingming Stone Monkey within was about to be fully formed.
Furthermore, having been defeated by Fuxi time and time again, Hongjun was actually quite unwilling to accept it.
The Journey to the West Calamity was originally intended to help the Human Race completely subdue the Demon Race and at the same time untangle the Primordial World earth veins.
But now that Human Race has completely embraced Human Path, and the Demon Race has become their side, wouldn't it be a joke to say that they are helping Human Race fight against the Demon Race?
However, the matter of understanding the earth's veins cannot be abandoned. Of course, if we can take this opportunity to quell the Extraterrestrial Demons Calamity, the Heavenly Dao may well turn the tables and suppress the Human Path and the Earthly Dao once again.
Hongjun, after thinking for a moment, nodded with a softened expression and said, "This matter needs to be discussed carefully."
