The Course of the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods
Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
The image reflected in the mirror clearly foreshadowed the official start of the Investiture of the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.
As those creatures fought each other, Chaoge's side gradually lost ground and was eventually forced to retreat.
The soldiers from Xiqi did not rush to pursue and kill the army from Chaoge.
On the contrary, the powerful Chan Sect, which helped Xiqi, and the powerful Western Teachings, gradually extended their reach to the Interception Sect.
So these guys really did target Sect Master Tongtian's Interception Sect?
The Human Emperor had long ago spoken out and angrily denounced his two elder brothers among the Three Pure Ones for colluding with outsiders to bully their own brother.
The image in the picture has changed once again.
The Interception Sect, saw many of its powerful members die from the ambushes or sieges of the Chan Sect.
The losses were devastating and appalling.
Even Great Immortal Zhenyuan was somewhat shocked by what he saw.
This battle was so fierce that many powerful beings at the Quasi-Saint level perished without a trace, a truly tragic outcome.
Later, the Sect Master Tongtian finally couldn't stand it anymore and took action.
After all, even Quasi-Saint like Taishang Laozi Yuanshi Tianzun personally eliminated disciples of the Interception Sect, showing no shame whatsoever. It was utterly despicable and shameless.
Their eating manners were so unsightly that even Zhen Yuanzi Ancestor of Earth Immortals, couldn't stand it anymore.
With the intervention of the Sect Master Tongtian, the nature of the matter has completely changed.
Clearly, the conflict escalated from a simple human war to a war involving all the gods and Buddhas.
The Sect Master Tongtian fought a single battle against Taishang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the two Western saints Zhunti and Jieyin.
Under pressure, the Sect Master Tongtian finally set up the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which could not be broken by any but the Four Saints.
Unfortunately, the number of opponents was just right—exactly four Saints.
Ultimately, they directly broke through the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation of the Sect Master Tongtian.
It even seriously injured the Sect Master Tongtian.
The view from the air changed once again.
Having suffered a great loss, the Sect Master Tongtian and his disciples set up a Myriad Immortals Spell Formation.
They were determined to fight to the death with their opponents.
Unfortunately, the opposing side's Saint were truly shameless.
He didn't hesitate to personally break into the formation to kill the Jie Sect Disciple.
Ultimately, after this great battle, the Myriad Immortals Formation was also broken.
The Jie Sect, once boasted of countless immortals Interception Sect, was practically defunct in name only.
After another great battle, these Saint finally reached the ears of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
It was clearly four Saints who joined forces to bully the Sect Master Tongtian.
Ironically, Dao Ancestor Hongjun actually reprimanded Sect Master Tongtian.
This was something that even Great Immortal Zhenyuan, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, had not expected.
Later, Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly took out the Saint-Slaying Pill and forced the Three Pure Ones to eat it.
He never expected it would turn out this way; it was truly unbelievable.
The Three Pure Ones were all forced to consume the Saint-Slaying Pill, and the Sect Master Tongtian was even imprisoned in the Purple Cloud Palace.
Doesn't this mean that the Three Pure Ones are now merely figures in name only?
This so-called Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods ultimately ended with the defeat of Chaoge and the change of dynasties in the human world.
Emperor Xin set himself on fire atop the Star-Picking Tower, and the Zhou dynasty succeeded him as ruler of the Shang dynasty.
Before everyone's eyes, the Emperor of the Great Zhou lowered his status Human Emperor and called himself the Son of Son of Heaven, meaning the Son of Heaven. He had previously held the highest position of ninety-nine, but now he had lowered it to the highest position of ninety-five.
From this point on, the Human Clan's destiny was completely stripped away and ended, and the Human Clan's status Lord of the Primordial World also disappeared.
It could be said that the biggest winners of this Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods were actually the two Saints from the West.
The Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Great Immortal Zhenyuan, looked somewhat incredulous, never expecting such a situation to arise.
After all, during this Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, these two guys used despicable and shameless means to rob countless powerful figures and magical treasures from the East.
With this shift in power, the West unexpectedly rose to prominence.
Later, Laozi, the Taishang Laozi of the Mystic Gate sect, received an order but led many remaining powerful figures from the East to cross the prehistoric Primordial World to the west.
This includes Daoist Randeng, Daoist Cihang, Puxian Zhenren, and Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun of the Chan Sect.
In addition, there were also Daoist Duobao of the Interception Sect, and others.
Taishang Laozi led these people to the West and forcefully placed them into the Western Teachings.
Daoist Duobao became the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha Ancestor.
The Daoist Randeng became the Randeng Past Buddha.
Daoist Cihang became Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Puxian Zhenren became Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, became Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Many of the surviving powerful figures from the East were relocated to the Western Teachings.
Furthermore, the Western Teachings was renamed Buddhism, completely stripping the two Western Saint of their power. The two Western Saint dared not speak out against this and thus went into seclusion.
He completed the Transforming Barbarians into Buddhas, thus ending the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.
The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods has come to an end.
The pattern of the prehistoric world has undergone major changes.
Countless powerful figures from the East perished, most of whom were enshrined on the Investiture of the Gods the Gods, completing their place in the Heavenly Dao and becoming lackeys of the Heavenly Court.
Most of the powerful individuals who survived went to the West and became followers of Western Buddhism.
Very few truly powerful individuals remain who can attain such great freedom.
While Buddhism in the West appears extremely powerful on the surface, the two Western Saint have been completely sidelined.
The Western world has also become a prison and cage of Primordial World power.
During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, many powerful beings who did not die were imprisoned forever in the Western Teachings.
The East fell into decline, Great Celestial Venerable Haotian became its sole ruler.
The West became a prison for powerful beings, Great Sun Tathagata Shakya Mani Buddha became the ruler of the West.
However, both of these guys are just puppets of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
The fates of these Saints were equally tragic.
The Three Pure Ones of the East were forced to consume the Saint-Slaying Pill, and dared not appear in the Primordial World at will anymore.
As the first Saint to intervene, Empress Nuwa was directly struck by a heavy karmic consequence.
Empress Nuwa then secluded herself and never left the Wa Huang Palace again.
After the two Western Saint were sidelined, seeing the miserable state of the Eastern Saint, they also shut themselves off and dared not cause trouble in the Primordial World.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, immediately changed his expression.
I never imagined that the Primordial World of the future would turn out to be such a peculiar place.
But another question arose in his mind.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Human Emperor to the side.
"While these images and events are indeed awe-inspiring, they have nothing to do with me, do they?"
"Great Immortal Zhenyuan, don't be in a hurry, it will be your turn soon."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
I couldn't help but turn my head to continue watching the scene in the sky.
Sure enough, the scene in the air changed.
The scene depicted in the picture is set hundreds of years later.
The Great Sun Tathagata Shakyamuni Buddha, who was transformed from the Daoist Duobao, received instructions to spread Buddhism eastward.
So he and True Person Cihang and others devised what is known as the Journey to the West.
Thus began the Journey to the West plan.
Leading them were Jin Chanzi, a disciple of Shakya Mani in the West, and Intelligent Stone Monkey, one of the Four Divine Monkeys.
The assistants were Grand Marshal Tianpeng from the East and Great General Juanlian.
These are the publicly known candidates for the Journey to the West; the hidden candidates are countless.
This includes the Six Ding and Six Jia, the Five Directional Jiedi, the Four Duty Merit Officers, and the Eighteen Teaching-Protecting Garan, each taking turns on duty.
Are so many people just here to seek Buddhist scriptures?
This is complete nonsense.
