At present, they had not seen a single one of the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Venerates.
The only one from Daoism walking the Primordial World now was Zhou Qingqing. Much as they hated to admit it, the martial brothers had tacitly come to regard Zhou Qingqing as their true opponent.
There was no helping it.
This Dao Venerable Zhou Qingqing had become this sinister.
If they still refused to take her seriously, they might have to face the strangeness within the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin once more.
Amitabha Buddha pressed his palms together, his expression solemn.
"I once believed that the rise of the Buddha Path should be steady rather than swift. Now, however, I believe we can hasten our progress."
Zhou Qingqing's obstruction of the Buddha Path's rise was now plain for all to see.
This had to be Daoism's collective will.
"So they truly intend to defy the tide."
Buddha Mother Zhunti sighed.
The rise of the Buddha Path was something his senior brother had said was destined to occur in this Calamity.
"Looking back now, when Supreme Pure Laozi taught us the Sarira Great Dao, perhaps he had already foreseen this and reversed cause and effect."
As he spoke of this, Buddha Mother Zhunti, who cultivated the Buddha Path of karma, recalled certain trivial matters from past Calamities.
Back then, Supreme Pure Laozi had still been their eldest martial brother.
Now, all of it had become clouds drifting before the eyes.
Thinking it over carefully, the martial brothers could have created the Sarira Great Dao themselves in the time that followed. Yet in their haste for quick success, they had fallen straight into Supreme Pure Laozi's great trap.
Truthfully, the present situation had also been brought about by the many counterproductive things they themselves had done.
Amitabha Buddha sighed.
