“This, this Buddhist fate inheritance, is it really so precious? It can actually make a dignified Great Emperor make such a promise to a cultivator?”
Although it was just a verbal promise, the words of Great Emperor Broken Mountain still made all the watching cultivators inhale a breath of cold air in unison.
Using the power of one side of the heaven and earth to assist a cultivator in proving the Dao and ascending, this is not something that can be compared with ordinary rewards and bounties.
Even Shi Hu Tianjun couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart after hearing the conditions offered by Broken Mountain.
Xiahou You, however, was somewhat disbelieving and said:
“This Great Emperor Duanyue, couldn’t he be playing tricks on us?”
“Lifting the power of one side of the world to assist one person in ascending sounds extremely absurd.”
“Moreover, even if it is feasible, with the current power of the Great Emperor, he can’t mobilize the cultivation resources of the entire Jueming Heaven for Xu Taiping to use, right?”
After hearing this, the Stone Lake Heavenly Monarch shook his head and said:
“That may not be the case.”
His brows were tightly furrowed as he explained:
“When the Human Emperor ruled Shangqing, the deeds of lifting the power of one side of the world to assist a cultivator in ascending were actually not uncommon.”
There are even special scriptures that record the operation method.
“As for whether Duanyue can mobilize the resources of the entire Jueming Heaven, although it is debatable, it is not completely impossible.”
When he said this, the Stone Lake Heavenly Monarch paused for a moment, and then, with his eyes looking at Xu Taiping in the Shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone, he continued without looking back:
“After all, the imperial weapon of the Jueming Heaven is now in the hands of that Great Emperor Duanyue. As long as the imperial weapon accumulates enough divine power, it can issue an imperial ict to command the mountains, rivers and living beings of one side of the world.”
After hearing the explanation of Third Uncle, Xiahou You was immediately filled with horror and said:
“This imperial weapon can actually issue an imperial edict that one side of the world as rumored?”
Shi Hutian Jun nodded with full respect in his eyes and said:
“The imperial artifacts of the five directions of the Supreme Purity Heaven are the five-sided seals, so they are also called imperial seals.”
“And this imperial seal has an extraordinary origin. It was cast from the fragments of the imperial cauldron used by the Human Emperor to rule the three realms in the past.”
“The divine will and divine power contained in it are connected to the origin of the Supreme Purity Realm and have mysterious abilities that we cannot fathom.”
Xiahou Youyue became more and more startled.
Xiahou Qingyuan, on the other hand, curled his lips and said:
“Even if it is really capable of doing so, without presenting substantial proof, it is just empty talk.”
“If I were that Xu Taiping, the first one to be excluded would be the Great Emperor Duanyue of the Absolute Nether Heaven.”
Not only Xiahou Qingyuan thought so, but other watching cultivators also felt that the Great Emperor Duanyue lacked sincerity.
And just at this time, the Great Emperor Zong Yun of Chenglongtian, who had not spoken for a long time, also snorted coldly and said:
“Great Emperor Duanyue, you ask the sword in one side of the world alone, and I respect you. I also pity that your Absolute Nether Heaven is in a state of rejuvenation and needs this Buddha statue as a ballast stone to ensure the stability of your Absolute Nether Heaven.”
“But if you want to take away this Buddha statue that carries the only Buddhist inheritance in the Supreme Purity Realm with just a few empty words like this.”
“I, Zong Yun, am the first to not accept it!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the onlookers among the cultivators held their breath and concentrated, their eyes fixed firmly on the phantom above their heads or the images within the spirit mirrors.
Everyone wanted to see, to see how the Great Emperor Duan Yue would respond to the words of the Great Emperor Zong Yun.
Not long after, the voice of the Great Emperor Duan Yue rang out once again:
“You are right, Great Emperor Zong Yun. It is indeed rather abrupt to take away this Buddha statue with just a few empty words.”
When he said this, the Great Emperor Duan Yue paused for a moment, and then continued:
“Daoist Taiping, as long as you agree to donate that Buddha statue to the Absolute Netherworld, I will immediately issue an imperial edict and write the promise just now into the imperial edict.”
“In this way, even if I am unable to fulfill the promise, as long as this imperial edict exists, you will be able to freely mobilize the mountains, rivers, and living beings of the Absolute Netherworld for your cultivation.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers among the cultivators were once again in an uproar.
Xiahou Qingyuan even clicked his tongue repeatedly and said:
“This Great Emperor Duan Yue is really ruthless to himself. He actually used that precious imperial edict on the promise to Xu Taiping.”
Xiahou You, on the other hand, had a puzzled expression on his face and said:
“Third Uncle, what exactly is the function of this Buddhist affinity inheritance for a side of the world that it can actually make three great emperors make such promises to Xu Taiping in succession?”
The Stone Lake Heavenly Monarch pondered for a moment, and then said with a solemn expression:
“Judging from the Heavenly Law Decree issued by the Five Emperors back then to restrain the Great Emperors of the Five Regions of Heaven and Earth.”
“For the Great Emperor of a region of heaven and earth, the number of living beings and the prosperity of the fireworks in the region of heaven and earth under his governance will determine the strength of the power of the Imperial Seal.”
“And the strength of the Imperial Seal will also determine their own strength, and even whether they can finally follow in the footsteps of the Five Emperors and ascend to the Immortal Realm.”
The reason why the Nine Abysses invaded Xuanyuan Heaven back then was because of the brawl among the aristocratic families which made the living beings in Xuanyuan Heaven suffer, resulting in the exhaustion of the divine power of the Imperial Seal and being unable to issue the Imperial Decree. In the end, the Nine Abysses took advantage of the situation and killed the last Great Emperor, and since then it has been in a slump.”
Xiahou Qingyuan frowned and said:
“This point seems to be completely opposite to the way the Nine Abysses use the resentment of the human race to nourish the magic seeds.”
Heavenly Monarch Shihu nodded and said:
“Therefore, this Heavenly Law Decree can also be used to restrain the erosion of the Demon Abyss on the Upper Clear Realm.”
Xiahou You immediately said with a sudden realization on his face:
“So this Great Emperor Duanyue wants to use this inheritance of Buddhist affinity to stabilize the hearts of the people in Juedark Heaven, thereby enhancing the power of the Imperial Seal.”
Heavenly Monarch Shihu nodded again and said:
“In the current Upper Clear Realm, compared with the Taoist Sect and the Confucian Sect, the Buddhist inheritance is the most capable of soothing people’s hearts.”
“Especially the inheritance of the Buddhist affinity in Buddhism. Even if there is only one strand, in just three to five years, it will be enough to cover a region of heaven and earth.”
“By then, the number of living beings whose minds have been soothed by the inheritance of the Buddhist affinity will probably be counted in tens of millions.”
“In this way, the divine power of the imperial seal held by Emperor Duanyue will surely increase sharply within three to five hundred years.”
“Perhaps in the end, it might even be on a par with Emperor Chenglong.”
After hearing Third Uncle’s explanation, Xiahou You and Xiahou Qingyuan felt that the weight of the Buddha statue sitting cross-legged in front of Xu Taiping suddenly increased a lot more.
At this time, they only heard Emperor Duanyue of Jueding Heaven shout at Xu Taiping of Manhuang Heaven once again:
“Daoist Taiping, how have you considered?”
But before Xu Taiping could speak, they heard another voice resounding through the sky above Lingjiu Peak—
“Daoist Taiping, I am the Lord of Thousand Machines City in Xuanhuang Heaven. Today, I have an unseemly request.”
“If possible, please, please bestow this Buddha statue to my… Xuanhuang Heaven.”
The onlookers were first stunned, and then they immediately heard someone laugh and say:
“Xuanhuang Heaven really has beautiful dreams. What do they have to offer that can be compared with the conditions offered by those three emperors?”
