Deep within the Buddhist realm, the Medicine Buddha sits serenely on a lotus throne.
The once golden Buddha statue was now shrouded in gray mist, and the eight hundred Arhats beneath it had empty eyes and a gray mark on their foreheads.
When will Lord Jie'an recover?
A bodhisattva asked mechanically.
The Medicine Buddha lightly tapped the lotus platform with his fingertips, and an image of the Heavenly Pool appeared before him: "Soon, until the day Gu Xuan goes into seclusion..."
Suddenly, he trembled violently, and the gray mist surged uncontrollably.
Beneath the lotus platform, a jet-black bone blade slowly took shape—it was Jie'an's natal divine weapon being re-formed...
......
Meanwhile, at the edge of the Star River Domain.
The Lord of the Mysteries knelt before an ancient bronze palace, where a black-robed figure was wiping a compass.
On the plate, the four characters "Immortal Ancient Treasure" were seeping out wisps of blood mist.
"My lord, I do not understand."
The Lord of the Mysteries asked cautiously, "Why must we wait until Gu Xuan goes into seclusion?"
The man in black robes paused. "You think he really went into seclusion?"
Suddenly, the compass projected a scene of the heavens—in Gu Xuan's secluded meditation room, sat a puppet clone!
"this......"
"Three days later, you will send three Divine Lord-level beings to attack the Xuanhuang Universe."
The man in black robes tapped his fingertip lightly, and three points of light appeared on the compass. "Remember, only defeat is allowed; victory is forbidden."
Just as the Lord of the Mysteries was about to ask a question, he suddenly trembled!
The three golden dots reflected on the compass were his most prized creations—the three powerful gods who had been successfully corrupted!
"My lord! This..."
"You can't bear to part with it?"
The man in black robes chuckled, "Once the ancient immortal artifacts appear, let alone three Divine Lords, we could easily create thirty."
Before he could finish speaking, the compass suddenly vibrated violently.
The man in black robes suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through the endless void beneath his hood, meeting Gu Xuan's eyes across the sky from the Heavenly Court's Star Gazing Platform!
"interesting."
The man in black clapped his hands and laughed, "Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan, you certainly haven't disappointed me!"
......
Heavenly Court, Star-Gazing Platform.
Gu Xuan withdrew his gaze, a trace of golden blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Xu Xinnian rushed forward in a panic: "Master!"
"It's alright."
Gu Xuan wiped away the blood, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I finally saw it clearly; that compass is indeed..."
He suddenly stopped speaking, and a golden light flew out from his sleeve, sealing off the surroundings: "The ancient immortal artifact, the 'Heavenly Evolution Compass,' can deduce the cause and effect of all realms."
"No wonder that old man Hongjun, even after I used the causal erasure technique, was able to retain a trace of his soul."
Xu Xinnian gasped: "Could that man in black robes be...?"
"uncertain."
Gu Xuan shook his head, "But one thing is certain: the Xuanhuang Universe holds something far more important than we imagine."
He suddenly took out a jade slip and crushed it.
The five disciples, who were traveling in various places, received the message at the same time.
The eldest disciple Fang Li's alchemy furnace exploded with a roar, the second disciple Jiang Qingqing's sealing array automatically dissipated, and the strings of the third disciple Liu Ruyan's zither snapped all at once...
"The show will be over in three days; it's time to wrap things up."
Gu Xuan said softly, nine divine halos slowly appearing behind him, "This time, your master will see who is really stirring up trouble!"
......
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Heavenly Court, at the bottom of Kunlun Heavenly Pool.
The dark divine blood of the tyrant quietly gathered, transforming into a beating black heart.
With each heartbeat, the spiritual veins of Tianchi trembled slightly, as if some terrifying being was awakening.
The clear water rippled with eerie, dark waves.
The dark blood of the tyrannical god quietly gathered at the bottom of the pool, transforming into a beating black heart.
The surface is covered with blood vessel-like runes.
Each "thump-thump" beat caused the fish in the pond to turn their pale bellies up.
The most crucial thing is—
The frequency of this black heart's beating was synchronized with the breathing of billions of living beings in the Star River Domain!
At this moment, in the Buddhist realm—
The morning bell of the Great Thunder Temple stopped abruptly on the seventh chime, and the golden bodies of the eight hundred Arhats turned bluish-gray, with a gray mark shaped like a vajra appearing between their brows.
The nine-tiered lotus throne upon which the Medicine Buddha sits is cracked inch by inch, oozing foul-smelling black blood.
"Amitabha..."
The moment he clasped his hands together, two bone snakes suddenly emerged from his palms.
It bit down on the throat of the two guardian deities.
Before the two Heavenly Kings could even utter a scream, they turned into two pools of pus and blood that seeped into the floor tiles.
Just then.
"Boom!"
Above the Great Thunderclap Temple, the void suddenly tore open!
Three figures, radiating divine light, stepped out, their bodies exuding supreme divine might!
"The Protoss?!"
The Medicine Buddha suddenly looked up, his eyes churning with gray mist, "You've finally arrived!"
The leading divine warrior, clad in golden armor with a dazzling divine mark etched between his brows, coldly declared, "By order of my lord, we will aid the resurgence of Jie'an and conquer the Xuanhuang Universe!"
He raised his hand and waved it, and a divine decree was unfurled!
In an instant, a deafening roar echoed from the depths of the Buddhist realm—
"roar--!!"
At the bottom of Tianchi Lake, the black heart suddenly exploded, and the arrogant demonic body reformed once more.
His aura was even stronger than before, and he broke through to the Divine Lord Realm!
"Gu Xuan..."
Jie'an grinned maliciously, "This time, I'll make you watch the Xuanhuang Universe be destroyed!"
That's all.
He disappeared at Kunlun Tianchi, and his whereabouts remain unknown.
......
Heavenly Court, Star-Gazing Platform.
Gu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze piercing through the endless void, staring directly in the direction of the Buddhist realm.
"Master?"
