Above the sky, divine lightning rolled, like the roar of an angry dragon.
One bolt of lightning after another streaked across the void, carrying boundless pressure, and struck the Tai Chi diagram.
The Tai Chi symbol trembled violently and then rolled back.
Laozi frowned and took a step back. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hu Le stepped forward, brandishing his bamboo staff, and went straight for Laozi's door.
On the other side, also in the primordial chaos beyond the heavens, the Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master were engaged in a fierce battle.
The sword energy around them surged wildly, like two giant dragons intertwining and tearing at each other.
The chaotic energy kept breaking apart, and the earth, fire, water, and wind that had just formed were blasted away by the sharp sword light.
Yuanshi Tianzun held the Pangu Banner, and with each wave, countless chaotic sword energies roared towards Tongtian Jiaozhu.
The Tongtian Sect Leader met the attack with the Zhuxian Sword Formation, four sword lights crisscrossing and annihilating the chaotic sword energy one by one.
The two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch, and the battle was exceptionally fierce.
...
Just then, in the chaotic outer world, in the Great Paradise.
The two leaders joined forces and finally dispelled the karma and malevolence that permeated the world, preventing the Blissful World from continuing its descent into eternal darkness.
The two leaders breathed a sigh of relief and began to recuperate and heal their injuries.
Fortunately, the Sage of Guidance was alright, as he was protected by the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, and did not suffer serious injuries.
In comparison, the Sage Zhunti was much more severely injured, and even his golden body was shattered.
Losing his Dharma Body greatly diminished his strength.
To restore his golden body, it would likely take at least hundreds of millions of years, given his own strength.
Fortunately, he still had the help of the Sage of Guidance by his side.
Seeing that the two's fortunes and incense offerings had greatly diminished due to the decline of Buddhism, the Sage Zhunti tried several times but was unable to condense a golden body Dharma image. As soon as it formed a prototype, it collapsed several times.
The Sage who guided the way sighed, reached behind his head, and suddenly plucked out a relic.
This relic is round and golden, shining brightly. The auspicious light of merit and the fragrance of incense intertwine and linger, transforming into a cloud of divine light.
"Junior brother, this is for you."
The sage then casually handed the relic to Cundi.
Saint Zhunti opened his eyes, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he frowned and said, "Brother Dao, this object embodies your Dao cultivation. How can I possibly take it away?"
He knew all too well that over the years, with the rise of Buddhism, even the Sage of Reception had only managed to condense three relics.
These relics not only contain the merits and virtues of Buddhist incense offerings, but also the spiritual power and spiritual attainment of the guiding saints themselves.
If he were to refine this relic, the Sage of Guidance would likely suffer a great loss in his cultivation.
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
The guiding sage offered advice that was met with disapproval.
Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti had a change of heart and couldn't help but chuckle.
Yes, the two of them have known each other since the beginning of time, and have gone through countless trials and tribulations together. Their friendship is even deeper than that of blood brothers.
Thinking of this, the Sage Zhunti stopped refusing and accepted the relic with a smile.
He gently stroked the smooth surface of the relic, feeling the immeasurable merit and power contained within it, and a feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart.
He took a deep breath and threw the relic, which landed steadily on Qingyun.
Suddenly, the auspicious cloud burst forth with a dazzling light, like a brilliant pearl illuminating the entire world.
Under the illumination of the auspicious clouds, the relic gradually decomposed into countless tiny particles, like billions of golden stars twinkling in the sky.
The Sage Zhunti smiled slightly, formed a mudra with his hands, and chanted incantations.
As his incantation resounded, the golden particles began to collide and merge, eventually forming a golden, multi-armed, multi-headed statue.
This statue is tens of feet tall and exudes a suffocating aura.
Its body is composed of countless golden particles, each of which shimmers with boundless brilliance.
The Buddha's face was solemn and dignified, with his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.
However, when the Sage Zhunti recited the last mantra, all the Dharma leaders suddenly opened their eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.
As the Dharma Image awakened, its aura grew stronger and stronger.
The originally illusory figure gradually became solid, as if it wanted to break free from its constraints and descend into the world.
Upon seeing this, the Sage Zhunti revealed a satisfied smile.
Seeing this, the Sage of Guidance nodded slightly, then took out a lotus seed from his sleeve and swallowed it.
He had also suffered some injuries, and now he was using the miraculous healing properties of this innate lotus seed.
Time passed by unnoticed.
No one knows how much time had passed, but in the silent void, a clear and melodious bell suddenly rang out.
As the bell rang, the auspicious clouds above the head of the Sage Zhunti suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the entire Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss with crystal clarity, as if no secret could escape the light.
And this light was emanating from the golden body of Dharma that he had just condensed.
However, this light lasted only a short while before vanishing into nothingness like a fleeting moment, leaving behind only endless tranquility and mystery.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on achieving the perfection of your Golden Body!"
The guiding saint beside him smiled and spoke softly.
Sage Zhunti smiled slightly, then put away his golden body and said with emotion, "I must thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."
He knew that without the help and support of the guiding saint, he probably would not have been able to re-condense the golden body of Dharma so smoothly.
He should keep this kindness in his heart; saying too much would be too formal given their relationship.
As his golden body was re-formed, his injuries were almost simultaneously healed.
He stood up from the lotus platform. "Brother Dao, please wait a moment. I must go to that primordial wilderness."
The guiding sage nodded slightly, "You may go on your own."
Immediately, the Sage Zhunti picked up the Seven Treasures Tree and floated out of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Upon entering the chaos, the surrounding chaotic energy seemed to become incredibly turbulent, with clumps of chaotic energy boiling and roaring as if a pot had been boiled over.
He brushed the Seven Treasures Tree onto his body, and a burst of seven-colored light immediately rose from his body, blocking the chaotic energy before it could even surge in.
He glanced into the depths of the chaos and knew that it was where Tai Shang and the others were fighting.
He didn't care, and surrounded by rosy light, he headed towards the primordial world.
Before long, he arrived in the prehistoric world. Instead of going to the sacred mountain or Bianliang immediately, he headed straight for Kunlun Mountain.
Upon arriving at Kunlun, they did not go to the East Kunlun, but instead went to the West Kunlun Grotto-Heaven.
This place is the sacred site of the Queen Mother of the West.
At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West felt a sense of foreboding. She got up, left the palace, and looked towards the outside of the grotto...
