Divine Descent, the True Dragon's Long Cry, the World-Honored One Arrives

What is that?

Beyond the Other Shore World, All Gods were alarmed, sensing the vast and boundless Buddhist Rhyme surging forth from this unfathomable Other Shore World!

The white-haired old man gazed intently, muttering to himself:

"I seem to see boundless, great light. I hear the Brahma Chant!"

Beside him, Kong Shentong's illusory avatar was equally solemn:

"It is the Heavenly Throne."

"A vast, boundless celestial realm is falling from Different Dimension, plummeting into the Other Shore World!"

The All Gods all paled, while the Old Niu, shrouded in mist, shone with piercing light.

This Buddhist Rhyme... it seems somewhat familiar.

He recalled the Great Divine War decades ago, in which he had personally participated in the siege of the All Gods of the Spirit Mountain System.

During that massive divine war, there was a Bright Light Buddha Ancestor who sat in the 'Bright Light Heavenly Position Throne,' and his aura was exactly the same as the Buddhist Rhyme at this moment!

Only

That Bright Light Buddha Ancestor is one of the two Venerables of the Spirit Mountain System. He is a true being who has stepped into the [Buddha Fruit Position, the fifth level of the Divine Path, comparable to the Heavenly Venerable!

"Have those heavenly positions already appeared in the world?" the Old Niu murmured to himself, swallowing hard.

He was becoming increasingly unable to understand Zhang Fusheng.

First he wrote the Dao De Jing, then he became the World-Honored Tathagata One Tathagata, and now he directly summons a great celestial being from Different Dimension!

In a daze, the Old Niu suddenly felt that being used as a mount might not be such a bad thing after all.

He sighed.

Meanwhile, in the Other Shore World, on the Other Shore Mountain.

"Really."

Zhang Fusheng stared silently at this scene, gazing at the Great Celestial Position falling from nothingness.

The Destiny Event mandate regarding the Randeng Heavenly Position went exactly as I had predicted.

Leading the Tathagata into the Buddhist path, witnessing the Buddha Ancestor's attainment of Buddhahood.

This destiny,

Hong Tianbao had already accomplished this in the past—now, having received the imperial decree from Zhang Fusheng, he is qualified to sit in the position of the Randeng Heavenly Position, and thus, he has manifested in the world!

As the heavenly throne descended, Buddha Light, stretching for ten thousand miles, arose and illuminated all directions.

Hong Tianbao sat cross-legged on the ground, and suddenly his appearance became solemn and dignified, as if he had attained complete enlightenment.

Do not disturb the Dingguang Tathagata.

Zhang Fusheng gave the instructions to the Celestial Person, then turned to look at Lin Changle, who had emerged from the thatched hut, and said calmly:

"The Buddha Light, stretching for ten thousand miles, disrupted the heavenly order and broke the Heavenly Numbers course of destiny."

"In that case, you shall come with me to Chang'an Town."

Since the Heavenly Numbers has been disrupted, the Beginning of the Journey to the West, originally scheduled to begin around February 9th, can naturally be brought forward.

"Compassion, compassion."

Zhang Fusheng softly chanted the Buddhist mantra and looked again at his master, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, motionless.

Although he has been granted a divine position, he cannot truly merge with the divine, simply because Hong Tianbao has not yet Ascension to Divinity.

But it won't be too long.

On the day I Ascension to Divinity, or within a few days, why shouldn't I Ascension to Divinity my master with me?

"Mount Ling"

Zhang Fusheng murmured in a low voice, leading Lin Changle step by step down the Other Shore Mountain. The door of the thatched hut slowly closed, revealing Nine-Ringed Zen Staff and Brocade Cassock.

There was also a trembling, ancient spirit.

Jincheng.

This place was originally the 'exit' of the Golden Province in the human world, but at this moment, three Whale-Penguin Ships are suppressing it in the sky.

The Golden Province has already rebelled.

For various reasons, the Federation did not directly attack the rebellious provinces, but instead trapped them.

As long as the exit to the World Plateau is sealed off, only Deity Level can freely tear through space to enter and exit.

Under the influence of the gods, none of them could leave their respective provinces.

Then, at this very moment.

At a time when everyone in Jincheng felt insecure.

"Oh, the great Ancestor of Land Immortals!"

"We offer our blood and flesh in accordance with your pact with the Six-Armed Mahakala."

"Guide your body, from heaven, to walk among men."

Accompanied by prayer after prayer,

First it was a house, then a long street, then a district, and finally, the entire land within the Jincheng area.

At this moment, they all began to glow with a faint gray light!

The light grew brighter.

One by one, citizens, bewildered, were dragged underground by the ground lights, swallowed and submerged by the earth's depths.

Ordinary civilians, martial artists, Martial Arts Master, and even grandmasters were not spared!

When the three Whale-Penguin Ship suppressing the sky noticed the anomaly,

The once vast city of Jin suddenly fell silent, with only the earth still emitting a gray light. Less than one in ten thousand of the city's inhabitants remained.

"Heavenly Human Level energy source has been discovered, gathering underground. It's suspected to be a Divine Descent!"

Exclamations came from the Whale-Penguin Ship.

On each of the three massive, wrecked ships, countless glittering golden Peng Feather fell, each transforming into a Sword Furnace.

Then, the three Sword Furnace merged into one, forming a giant Sword Furnace made of three Peng Feather!!

Amidst the clanging of swords, aboard the leading Whale-Penguin Ship...

The Celestial Person who commanded this great ship, whose nerves were connected to the corpse of the whale-roc, was now staring intently at the deathly silent Jincheng.

The city was churning, and skyscrapers were collapsing one after another.

Amidst the massive plumes of smoke, one could see flesh and blood mixed in with the earth—all the creatures swallowed by the land!

These flesh and blood,

Amidst the churning of the earth, they slowly coalesced, tearing open the void, and a crystal-clear finger bone emerged and fell from the void.

"Divine Descent! A massive Divine Descent!!" The Celestial Person's expression changed, and he steered the Whale-Penguin Ship, issuing a desperate warning.

A typical small-scale Divine Descent is merely a way to guide the will of a deity from Different Dimension to descend.

A true divine Divine Descent involves bringing down a part of a deity's body!

Like that crystal-clear finger bone.

"The energy level calculation indicates Celestial Person, but he's just Celestial Person!" a crew member shouted, his face deathly pale.

When the Divine Descent, they were all merely Celestial Person beings.

The deities that descend through physical means are far superior to those who descend by will!

Just like now.

In the shattered earth of Jincheng, flesh and blood slowly rose from the ground, surrounding a crystal-clear finger bone, forming a refined middle-aged man.

He stood there quietly, and although he only measured the energy level at the Celestial Person level, he caused the three Whale-Penguin Ships to sway slightly and the Sword Furnace to groan!

"World."

The refined middle-aged man sighed softly, a faint smile appearing on his face, and murmured to himself:

"I have finally arrived in the human world— Zhang Fusheng, where are you?"

The giant Sword Furnace in the sky crashed down, tearing the entire city ruins apart once more. The three Whale-Penguin Ship attacked simultaneously, forcing even Venerables to retreat!

However.

Despite being merely a refined middle-aged man at the Celestial Person level, he simply raised his head, gently exhaled a breath of primordial energy, and said:

"Broken."

The great Sword Furnace collapsed with a deafening roar.

Three Whale-Penguin Ship also collapsed.

The colossal beast's corpse, capable of withstanding the Venerable One's killing methods, was thus reduced to dust.

The Ancestor of Land Immortals, or rather, the Ancestor of the Land, silently raised his head, gazing at the scattered fragments of flesh and blood.

Blood rained down on the ruins of the entire city.

He said calmly:

"Aren't you coming out yet?"

The void swayed, and three figures emerged, the leader being a stunningly beautiful woman with a graceful figure, her every step like a lotus blossom.

Behind her stood two towering men, each radiating divine light; they were both Venerable Ones.

"The Ancestor of Land Immortals, the Ancestor of the Land, Ruler of the World."

The graceful woman spoke softly:

"Your methods are a bit too ruthless, three Whale-Penguin Ships!"

The Ancestor of the Land gazed calmly at the powerful woman and said indifferently:

"I came to the mortal realm fully prepared. Although I am merely a Divine Descent, and even after complete liberation I am only at the Venerable level, however..."

After a moment's pause, He stroked the Daoist scripture, or rather, the [Earth Scroll], in his hand and said softly:

"If it were just you, you wouldn't be able to trouble me. Several Great Divine Ability User would be needed to barely put me to the test."

The graceful woman listened to His words without feeling arrogant—that was simply how she was.

A Great Divine Ability User with the Heavenly Rank can almost crush those of the same level who are not at the Heavenly Rank, and may even have the potential to defeat a True Saint.

Although what is before us is merely a Divine Descent at the Heavenly Human Level, even after liberation, it will not surpass the Venerable level.

The woman glanced at the Daoist scripture in the middle-aged man's hand, her expression solemn.

She sighed and said softly:

"Because we are not here to hunt, but to cooperate—let me introduce myself."

"I am Guo Linzhu, the Seventh Deputy Director of the Federation Investigation Department."

The Ancestor of Land Immortals remained calm, merely raising his eyelids slightly, causing the earth beneath his feet to churn.

He asked indifferently:

"What kind of cooperation?"

Guo Linzhu said in a low voice:

"World-Honored Tathagata"

"Or rather, Zhang Fusheng."

The Ancestor of Land Immortals raised an eyebrow, showing some interest:

"I know Zhang Fusheng, but what about this World-Honored Tathagata, Tathagata?"

"Shall I explain it to you slowly?"

"Can."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly.

"I'm very interested."

He listened quietly to everything before and after, including the World-Honored One, the World-Honored Tathagata, the Gaotian City, Other Shore World.

A faint smile appeared on the face of the Ancestor of Land Immortals:

"That little guy, is it really as you say, that he made such a large leap in just over half a year?"

"That's right."

Guo Linzhu nodded solemnly:

"When I saw the files, I also felt it was incredible, but it's the truth."

"Based on the calculations and speculations of those below, the most likely explanation is that this person used that so-called ' Gaotian Association rapidly become stronger, and then..."

"The true spirit of the World-Honored Tathagata from the old world, which had been dormant within him, has awakened."

Listening to Guo Linzhu's words, the Ancestor of Land Immortals fell into deep thought.

"I do not believe everything you say."

He spoke casually:

"I am the Ancestor of Land Immortals, and also the [Ancestor of the Land]. I sit in the heavenly throne, wielding the power known as the Earth, and am worshipped by all terrestrial deities."

After a moment of pause, the Ancestor of the Land suddenly sharpened his gaze:

"I will let living beings verify whether what you say is true or false. If it is true, I can cooperate with you to hunt down the World-Honored Tathagata, and explore His secrets."

"What if it's false?"

He smiled, his gaze profound.

Guo Linzhu felt a chill run down her spine; this person's true form was not merely Great Divine Ability User.

Based on information obtained from Different Dimension, this person, relying on a single Daoist scripture, is virtually invincible from the start.

It is said that even the most powerful beings, those who have attained the Buddha Fruit Position, are powerless against it!

"How do you want to verify it?" Guo Linzhu asked in a low voice, his celestial robes swaying in the wind.

The Ancestor of the Land, and with a thought, casually caught a tiny earthworm. He gazed at the little earthworm:

"To survive an earthquake is a great blessing, and I will grant you a Great Opportunity."

As they spoke,

The Ancestor of Land Immortals gently stroked the [Earth Scroll] with his palm.

Then he pointed at the earthworm.

The Earth Scroll trembled slightly, and it uttered a vast celestial sound:

"Imperial conferment, local deity."

As the Earth Scroll turned to a page, the Ancestor of the Land's face lit up with excitement. This Daoist scripture could bestow titles upon land deities—or rather, [earth spirits].

But in Different Dimension, He simply cannot do this!

This is why He insisted on descending to earth.

Browsing through the names of the various deities,

He finally had an idea, and his finger landed on a long river in the distance.

"Therefore, I hereby bestow upon you the title of Lord of this river, that is, -- Dragon."

Earthworms twist and glow.

Before Guo Linzhu and the two Venerable Ones' horrified eyes, this seemingly ordinary little earthworm had transformed into a dragon, a dragon at the Venerable One level!

"A star beast?!" a Venerable exclaimed, but then saw a true dragon humming and bowing its head toward the Ancestor of Land Immortals.

The Ancestor of the Land smiled broadly and gently stroked the dragon's head:

"Go, go."

"Go to the Other Shore World, to see the World-Honored Tathagata, and see if He is Zhang Fusheng."

"Yes," the true dragon whispered.

The Other Shore World.

Chang'an Town.

Inside the Yuan residence, Yuan Tiandao stroked a corner of the Heavenly Book, calculating it repeatedly before finally letting out a sigh.

"I can't figure it out."

He carefully put away the Heavenly Book, walked out of the inner hall, and headed straight for a side courtyard.

"Girl."

Yuan Tiandao gazed at Ruan Yutu, who resembled Banished Immortal, and spoke calmly:

"The day we gamble with each other is today."

"I know."

Ruan Yutu nodded calmly:

"I know that you and I are betting on whether the World-Honored One, World-Honored Tathagata, will arrive in Chang'an Town today, and whether the beginning of all things will arrive today."

Yuan Tiandao squinted:

"It's past noon, but there's still no sign of the World-Honored Tathagata."

Ruan Yutu simply smiled, turned her head, and pointed:

"Take another look."

Yuan Tiandao glanced sideways.

On the horizon, Buddha Light surged forth, arriving like a vast ocean.

In Chang'an Town, there were Li Yiyi, Luo Cheng, Li Xiuyuan, and even the Emperor Tang in the Celestial Person and the Martial Arts Manor.

They all looked up at the horizon, at the sea of Buddha Light.

A young girl carrying ancestral tablets on her back had bright, piercing eyes. She gently stroked the tablets on her back, feeling them vibrate.

Cui Baihua whispered:

"Ancestor, you mean..."

"Is that the World Honored One who is walking towards us, that one who is coming on the sea of Buddha, the one I am looking for?"

The memorial tablet trembled again.

Cui Baihua's eyes shone brightly as she quietly watched the Buddha Light gradually approach and the figure step by step towards her.

The thousand-mile-long mountain range outside Chang'an Town suddenly trembled slightly.
