Great Spirit, Earth Ancestor Pays a Visit

Escape.

Run! Run! Run!

A tremendous panic swept through the hearts of the forty-five Venerable Ones in an instant.

One palm strike, one flip, one overturn.

Eighty-one deities at the Venerable level were suddenly reduced to ashes, along with the terrifying sight of everything being turned upside down.

They were all terrified.

Run! Run! Run!

Forty-five Venerable Ones were all rushing towards the location of the Ghost Gate Pass. In the heavens beyond the heavens, the white-haired old man's expression was extremely solemn.

Kong Shentong was also dumbfounded—or more accurately, he was gazing at the deity in this place.

The more powerful one is, the more terrified one becomes.

For no other reason than the wondrous methods of the World-Honored One, World-Honored Tathagata, which forcibly reversed the entire Other Shore World!

It doesn't seem to be a matter of time travel, because those revived beings all possess memories of their deaths.

But the scattered souls all reunited; this level of method...

"You bet right!" exclaimed Great Divine Ability User from the Myriad Gods Cult, seated in Different Dimension.

And it was at this moment that the Other Shore World.

Zhang Fusheng gazed silently at the frantically fleeing gods, reflecting on his own current state.

Powerful.

It has never been this powerful.

The Venerable One, also known as the Manifesting Divinity, has attained the status of True Person or Fruit Position, and their true spirit can reside in the void and the real world.

The purpose of this kind of cultivation is to capture [the world] within the vast void and refine it into one's own Buddha-land and blessed land.

Manifesting Divinity, Manifesting Divinity

Beings at this level are practically equivalent to absolute rulers in most of the Myriad Worlds within the Great Void.

But Zhang Fusheng is different.

He attained the [Fuli True Person Fruit Status, and sits in the [Present Buddha Heavenly Position].

Then.

"Stop."

Zhang Fusheng spoke calmly, his voice like that of Brahma, causing the entire Other Shore World to spin and blocking the way out!

One by one, the venerable ones tried to break the blockade, but despite their best efforts, it was all in vain!

At the Ghost Gate Pass, there is an illusory line, a line that can never be crossed, no matter what.

The gods turned around in alarm, staring at the figure standing beneath the Nine-Zhang Bodhi.

"It's over!" the old governor murmured. "It's really over now."

Beside him, Huang Qiuxian shrank his neck and reminded him:

"We haven't destroyed the Other Shore World, nor have we hunted that female immortal. If we surrender now, perhaps we can be forgiven?"

The old governor swallowed hard.

"That's true, but if this terrifying being were to annihilate us all as it did the eighty-one gods, it would be a different story."

Huang Qiuxian felt a chill run down his spine. His first thought was to pull out the High Heaven Token to reveal his identity to the terrifying World Honored One.

Being exposed is better than being killed without any explanation!

But before he could make a move...

The World Honored One, who was in the distance, had somehow arrived before the forty-five deities, hanging high in the sky, accompanied by the Nine-Zhang Bodhi.

The All Gods looked up at that figure.

Zhang Fusheng calmly sat down cross-legged in front of the Bodhi Tree, and a natural Buddha Light emanated from his body.

The Buddha Light intertwined, concealing the sacred mountain, with Arhats, Vajras, and the Nine-Headed Sun Bird following behind.

Nine magnificent suns silently rotate at this moment, accompanied by Buddha Light and Brahma Chant.

Some of the Divine Servant and attendants involuntarily prostrated themselves down.

This scene was too sacred.

Zhang Fusheng surveyed everything on the ground, spoke softly, yet his voice boomed like a great bell:

"The Sea of Suffering is boundless."

"Turning back is the right path."

The great sound accompanied the Bodhi Thought and flowed down, and the real Nine-Zhang Bodhi swayed at this moment, scattering pure light, wisdom light and compassion light.

As the sound faded and the light shone, the Bodhi Thought quietly permeated the air.

The forty-five deities stood frozen in place, suddenly realizing they could no longer move.

Then,

Their vision was completely bathed in gold, and they could only see the Bodhi Tree, before which seemed to sit [Buddha Ancestor] on a Vajra throne.

'When!'

It sounded like the tolling of bells.

Bathed in the gentle light of Bodhi, one venerable one after another revealed a serene expression.

First came the seven souls, then the earth soul, the life soul, and the heaven soul, and finally the true spirit residing in the great void and Different Dimension.

Bodhi Light traces the causes and effects of each venerable one back to all their deeds and possessions.

The first Venerable One prostrated himself.

Then came the second, third, and fourth positions.

Until all forty-five statues prostrated themselves before the Buddha Ancestor Fusheng.

Beyond the Other Shore World, the powerful beings who gazed upon this scene were speechless.

"What kind of tactic is this?" Su Qiansuan murmured in the Golden Province, involuntarily rubbing his eyes, a chill creeping into his heart.

More than forty venerable ones!

He wondered, if he were in that situation, how would he react to those bizarre methods?

It seems there's no need to think about the answer.

Lost in thought, Su Qiansuan gazed upon the Other Shore World and saw the Buddha Ancestor smiling, saying:

"Pudu, Pudu."

"Today, forty-five believers have taken refuge in us. Since they have all been laid to rest by the butcher's knife, I hereby grant them the privilege of becoming Buddhas on the spot."

As the loud sound echoed, from beyond the heavens, the white-haired old man's pupils suddenly contracted; a terrifying scene was unfolding!

The Fruit Position of those forty-five venerable ones were all revealed under the Buddha Light —almost all of them were at the Fruit Position True Person, with very few attaining the Fruit Position.

But precisely at this moment, amidst the baptism of Buddha Light Brahma Chant,

The Venerable One, who had attained the Fruit Position of True Person, was having his own Fruit Position forcibly reversed by an indescribable, irresistible, and unyielding unknown force!

The attainment of the True Person's Fruit Position transformed into the attainment of the Fruit Position.

Behind each of the forty-five Venerable Ones, a stupa appeared.

They have all been converted.

They had all converted, with utmost piety and sincerity, prostrating themselves before [Buddha Ancestor Fusheng], and then shouting:

"Amitabha!"

The Buddha Ancestor remained silent, but smiled as he held up a flower.

The Other Shore World was then once again enveloped in Buddha Light, and no one in the outside world could glimpse its appearance.

The outside world fell into a deathly silence.

For a long, long time.

Outside the ruins of Jincheng, the Ancestor of Land Immortals exhaled a soft breath, closed his eyes, and spoke in a low voice:

"Our cooperation may be about to change."

The powerful figure named Guo Linzhu was stunned at this moment. The deputy director from the Investigation Department suddenly woke up and found himself covered in cold sweat.

She nodded bitterly and murmured:

"He reversed the entire world, slayed eighty-one deities with a single palm strike, and enlightened forty-five venerable ones with a single word."

"This level of power is truly immense."

Guo Linzhu took a deep breath and continued with difficulty:

"Senior, even if we manage to lure the World Honored One out, can we truly hunt him down?"

The Ancestor of Land Immortals had an extremely gloomy expression and spoke in a low voice:

"A tremendous wave has just swept through the vast void; you should have noticed it, shouldn't you?"

Guo Linzhu was slightly taken aback:

"Nature is like a raging storm, with waves crashing against the shore and the tidal wave impacting Different Dimension and the real universe. Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

The Earth Ancestor's expression grew even more somber. He lowered his eyelids and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"That strange change was caused by Zhang Fusheng."

"It is He who is attaining Fruit Position, it is He who is Ascension to Divinity."

Guo Linzhu was first taken aback, then exclaimed in shock:

"How is this possible??"

The two venerable ones standing nearby were also astonished. Ascension to Divinity? That World-Honored Tathagata, that Buddha Ancestor Fusheng —had they only just Ascension to Divinity???

The Ancestor of Land Immortals nodded silently and sighed softly:

"Though it seems unbelievable, it is the truth. This child entered Different Dimension and Ascension to Divinity while sitting in meditation in my own dojo."

After a pause, He continued:

"Unfortunately, at that time, my true form was visiting a friend. When I returned to the temple, it was already too late, and I escaped back to the mortal world."

Guo Linzhu and the other two Venerable Ones looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they all suddenly realized what was going on.

She murmured:

"No wonder the World-Honored Tathagata, Tathagata, has been slow to appear; he is clearly Ascension to Divinity —and once he Ascension to Divinity, why does he possess such inconceivable abilities?"

The Ancestor of Land Immortals was silent, then spoke softly:

"Perhaps, in the old world, He really was the Buddha Ancestor?"

The three fell silent.

It seems that this is indeed possible.

After a long while.

Guo Linzhu asked in a low voice:

"What about our cooperation?"

The Ancestor of Land Immortals replied:

"The same as before, but in a different way, with a few variations."

As he spoke, He turned his head, gazed at the stunningly beautiful woman of such high power, and calmly said:

"Hand over this special Supreme Treasure you prepared to me, and I will take it back to the Different Dimension."

"No." Guo Linzhu blurted out reflexively, only to hear the incarnation of the Ancestor of Land Immortals say calmly:

"Is it a rare and Supreme Treasure, or the hunt for the World-Honored Tathagata, or perhaps— the Buddha Ancestor Fusheng?"

"The people behind you need to make a decision."

Guo Linzhu fell silent.

After a long pause, she asked in a low voice:

"You mean, this object can attract the World Honored One to Different Dimension?"

"Good."

The Ancestor of Land Immortals nodded quietly.

"I saw this Supreme Treasure decades ago; it was once held by the large-bellied Buddha Ancestor worshipped by the Spirit Mountain System at that time."

After pausing, He continued:

"Coincidentally, I once heard a supreme being of the Celestial Venerable level mention this item, saying that it was of paramount importance to the Spirit Mountain System and to the Buddhist Sect."

Guo Linzhu was lost in thought, staring down at the Supreme Treasure he held in his palm:

"Are you taking it back to the dojo?"

"Nature."

The Ancestor of Land Immortals nodded indifferently:

"If Zhang Fusheng wants to obtain this treasure, he must personally come to my Heaven and Earth Five Villages Temple."

After a moment's pause, a faint smile returned to his face, and he murmured:

"Most importantly, this Supreme Treasure is one of the few that can be destroyed. Although it will take some time, this is precisely the reason why the Buddha Ancestor Fusheng had no choice but to come."

"No matter how bizarre or powerful His methods may be, He is ultimately just a Venerable One."

As he spoke, a cold expression appeared on the face of the Ancestor of Land Immortals:

"If he reappears at my Heaven and Earth Five Villages Temple, killing him will be as easy as turning my hand."

Guo Linzhu hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"But will He really go?"

"Meeting."

The Ancestor of Land Immortals nodded, gazing at the special Supreme Treasure in the female immortal's hand—a grain of dust.

Within the dust lies a whole world.

"That celestial being said that this realm is called the Central Posadha World, the root of Mount Ling, and the root of the Buddhist Sect."

"How could He sit idly by and watch this beautiful world perish and merge into the vast emptiness?"

After a moment's pause, the Earth Ancestor raised his eyelids, gazing calmly at the Other Shore World shrouded in boundless light, and said:

"Consult with the being behind you, and after making a decision, offer this special Supreme Treasure to me as a sacrifice."

"As for now."

His eyes shone brightly:

"I must personally pay a visit to this Buddha Ancestor Fusheng, the World-Honored Tathagata."

In the Other Shore World.

Forty-five Arhats sat motionless on the outer edge of the world, all in deep meditation, constantly chanting the World-Honored Tathagata, Tathagata, and the Buddha Ancestor Fusheng.

Zhang Fusheng sat quietly under the Bodhi Tree; the stone Arhat, the stone Vajra, and the nine golden crows had returned to their divine realms once more.

At this moment, the only person standing beside him was Lin Changle.

"Venerable One," Lin Changle whispered.

Zhang Fusheng nodded slightly, his appearance solemn, with a faint smile on his face.

He turned and gazed at the perfectly intact Other Shore World, and even He himself couldn't help but marvel.

Turning everything upside down.

Is this the Fuli True Person Fruit Status?

The Fuli Chapter of the Primordial Ancient Scripture consists of seven chapters, each corresponding to a first-level Fruit Position.

The Humanity Chapter brought him the Fuli Dharma Body, while the True Person Chapter brought him the Fuli True Person Fruit Status.

And, the terrifying supernatural Divine Ability that come with Fruit Position.

"Tawei."

Zhang Fusheng quietly comprehended that the Divine Ability that reversed everything was called Tawei.

This Divine Ability does not directly interfere with time.

Instead, it endowed Zhang Fusheng with the ability to grasp the cause and effect of all things—for example, particles.

The most basic particles that make up the world.

The Tawei allows Zhang Fusheng to perceive, and even completely grasp, fundamental particles—the origin of all things.

Universe, living beings, all things, soul.

Even time itself.

They are all composed of these basic particles, which are called Tawei.

Zhang Fusheng gently exhaled a breath of Pure Qi imbued with a strong Buddhist Rhyme.

Just now, He used the Divine Ability of Tawei to simultaneously grasp the cause and effect of every Tawei in the Other Shore World.

Then, tracing back to the state of all the particles not long ago, and using Divine Ability, reversing the cause and effect of these particles—

What is presented is that the entire Other Shore World is turned upside down.

The collapsing sky, the torn earth, the dead, the vanished souls.

When the particles recombine, everything returns to its original state.

"Although I have Ascension to Divinity, I have not yet truly secured my position Buddha Heavenly Position and the Fuli True Person Fruit Status."

Zhang Fusheng quietly sensed that the Venerable One, at the realm of Manifesting Divinity, needed to capture worlds in the vast void and refine them into Buddhist kingdoms or blessed lands.

This is difficult, not easy at all. It requires suppressing all living beings in an entire world. Small worlds are manageable, but what if one were to choose to refine an entire universe?

It's as difficult as climbing to heaven.

For himself, and for the Fuli True Person Fruit Status, this stage of cultivation was not about creating a Buddha-land or a blessed land.

Rather, it is to transform into the [Great Spirit] in a certain universe.

The so-called Great Spirit is the fundamental source of the universe, who seeks to transform the will of all living beings in the entire universe into his own thoughts.

They all have souls, and will always be their own souls. After they die, their Soul Spirit will return to themselves, carrying all their memories.

Furthermore, one can simultaneously experience the lives of billions of living beings, their past, present, and future, and learn everything they have learned.

When one cultivates oneself, it is as if all living beings in the universe are helping one cultivate.

This is the cultivation method of the Fuli True Person Fruit Status, the cultivation method of the Fuli Chapter, which is terrifying beyond comprehension.

It's ridiculously difficult.

However, similarly, once one cultivates to become Great Spirit...

A smile appeared on Zhang Fusheng's face. Just as he was about to escape into the vast void and head to some universe or ancient realm,

He suddenly sensed something and looked up.

A figure stood outside the Ghost Gate Pass.

The Ancestor of Land Immortals.

He is knocking on the door; He is coming to visit.

(I'm taking a break for one chapter. I'll update two chapters together at noon to see if I can get back to the time in the underworld.)
