Wutian ignored the shocked Great Venerable and descended slowly from the sky with a lotus flower blooming with each step, arriving in front of Li Daoyi.
"What an interesting world!" Wutian said with a smile.
“Huh…” Li Daoyi showed a hint of surprise. Although Wutian’s projection was still under his control, he could feel that the other party had self-awareness. This was different from the last time he summoned Lü Dongbin. Moreover, the sentence just now was not instructed by him, but said by Wutian himself.
Wu Tian gave Li Daoyi a meaningful look, then turned away.
"Hmm... I already know the whole story. Your attempt to control the emperor of the mortal realm is a grave crime." Wutian's expression suddenly hardened.
"I...I, no, it's him! He destroyed my Buddhist temples and killed my Buddhist disciples! This person is an enemy of Buddhism!" the Great Venerable said in horror upon hearing this.
"Kneel down," Wutian said coldly.
"Splash..."
All the monks knelt down, looking at Wutian as if he were a real Buddha, their eyes filled with terror.
"What's the use of creating so many golden statues of Buddhas if they are misleading the people, indulging in extravagance and waste, and have impure intentions?"
"The Buddha is as shameless as ever. Like father, like son. The Buddhist sect has fallen to this state, which is extremely disappointing to me," Wutian said with a sigh, shaking his head.
"Hiss... You... You dare to insult the Buddha." The Great Venerable raised his head, looking at Wutian with disbelief. Generally speaking, the higher one's cultivation level in Buddhism, the more devout one is to the Buddha. Yet this person dared to directly slander Tathagata. How could this not be astonishing?
"Buddha? Are you talking about me? Come to think of it, I am also known as Buddha in Mount Ling!" Wutian said with a smile.
"Well, it's almost time. What do you think we should do with these people, fellow Daoist?" Wutian turned to look at Li Daoyi.
"Your Buddhist affairs are your own business to handle."
Wu Tian nodded, raised his head slightly to look at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through space as he looked towards the Great Luo Immortal Realm.
"Interesting, very interesting," Wutian laughed.
After he finished speaking, his face showed compassion, and his eyes were full of sorrow.
"You are no longer worthy to be disciples of Buddhism. Now go back to the cycle of reincarnation!" After saying this, he waved his hand, and a golden light shone down on everyone.
No...no...
All the monks looked up in terror, trying to escape, but they couldn't move at all and could only watch helplessly as their bodies disappeared bit by bit.
"So you...you...you are the enemy of Buddha." The Great Venerable said with his last breath.
"Heh..." Wutian revealed a hint of disdain.
At this point, all the monks, including the nuns, turned to ashes and vanished into thin air.
"Eeya".
Mengmeng happily jumped onto the lotus throne left behind by the Great Venerable One.
"Hehe, can I eat this?" Mengmeng asked Li Daoyi.
"How filthy, this is what people sit on."
"Oh…"
Upon hearing this, Mengmeng immediately jumped down, looking disgusted.
Immediately afterwards, the little guy flew to Wutian's side and sniffed him with his little nose.
"What an amazing child." Wutian lowered his head and looked at Mengmeng with shining eyes.
"Do you have anything good to eat?" Mengmeng asked, tilting her head up.
"Delicious?" Wu Tian was taken aback.
"How about this?" Wutian pulled out a golden object and handed it to Mengmeng.
"Damn, how many Buddhist masters did this guy kill to have so many relics?" Li Daoyi was shocked.
"Alas…"
Mengmeng happily took it and immediately popped it into her mouth, like she was eating a candy.
"Fellow Daoist, I don't have much time left. May we have a chat?" Wutian looked at Li Daoyi again.
"sure."
With a wave of his hand, Wu Tian froze everyone present, immobilizing them in place.
"It's delicious."
"Click, click."
Only Mengmeng was completely unaffected.
"What an interesting child," Wutian laughed.
"Thank you. I never expected to end up in another world," Wutian said to Li Daoyi.
“I never expected that you could have self-awareness.” Li Dao nodded.
“I sensed some kind of energy before and tried to communicate with it, but I didn’t expect that a wisp of my primordial spirit would be extracted. So, this body is just a wisp of my original will,” Wutian said.
Li Dao nodded. At this moment, Wutian was originally a projection.
"I don't know how you did it. I don't want to know, but I can't see through you."
“Judging from the way you look at me, it’s not hard to tell that you know me very well,” Wutian said.
"As expected of a powerful figure who defeated the Buddha, his wisdom is simply heaven-defying," Li Daoyi thought to himself.
"Wutian, has Tathagata already passed away?" Li Daoyi asked at this moment.
Wu Tian immediately showed an expression of "I knew it," and nodded with a smile.
"good."
"Now, Mount Ling and even the Three Realms are under my control," Wutian said, a hint of smugness inevitably showing on his face.
"Sigh..." Li Daoyi sighed at this moment.
Why do you sigh, fellow Daoist?
"Thirty-three years. You only have thirty-three years. In the end, Buddha will be resurrected, and you will ultimately fail."
“I know he has a backup plan, but don’t worry, Tathagata won’t have a chance,” Wutian said.
"Fellow Daoist Wutian, you are mistaken."
"What do you mean?"
Do you know why the Buddha chose to pass away this time?
"It's not because we're no match for you, but because of a conspiracy."
"What conspiracy?" Wutian asked.
"The Buddhist sect's conspiracy: you have occupied the Western Paradise and the Lingxiao Palace, and the Three Realms are almost entirely under your control. This is exactly the result that the Buddhist sect wanted. Perhaps your descent into demonic possession was part of the plan from the very beginning."
"Why?" Wu Tian's expression had become serious, no longer as calm as before.
"Don't you understand yet?" Li Daoyi stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky.
Wu Tian instantly understood what Li Daoyi meant.
“Sages are not allowed to interfere with the Three Realms; this is a rule of the Great Dao. How could they?” Wutian murmured.
“Sage, sage, there’s a person in that word, do you understand? Every person has desires,” Li Daoyi said slowly.
"Eeya?" At this moment, Mengmeng seemed to sense something and looked up at the sky.
"Heave-ho." The little girl waved her hand, and a mysterious energy instantly flew out from her palm and soared into the sky.
"What's wrong, Mengmeng?" Li Daoyi asked.
"Hmm, someone tried to peek, but I stopped them," the little girl said obediently.
Li Dao was immediately startled.
"I almost forgot, one cannot casually mention sages," Li Daoyi thought to himself.
"Good girl."
"whee…"
At this moment, Wutian also realized the inappropriateness of their conversation.
"Alas, I may be a pawn, but I have done what I wanted to do, and I have no regrets in this life," Wutian sighed.
"No regrets? Then are you unwilling?" Li Daoyi countered.
Wutian looked at Li Daoyi with eyes that seemed to see right through him.
"What can I do if I'm unwilling?"
“I can help you,” Li Daoyi said.
Wu Tian's eyes lit up, and his previously dimmed gaze was rekindled with hope.
“Give me time. I don’t know how long it will take, but I believe it won’t be too slow. I have a feeling that we will meet soon, and by then I should be able to lend you a hand,” Li Daoyi said slowly.
"Fellow Daoist, you must know that I am not only facing the Three Realms, but also those above me." Wutian was somewhat moved, but still reminded him.
“It’s fate that we met. You’re to my liking. So what about those people? Give me time, and I’ll crush them sooner or later,” Li Daoyi sneered.
"Yeah, yeah, let's play them to death," the little one Mengmeng chimed in from the side.
Wu Tian fell silent; he was deep in thought.
"Fellow Daoist, will you be able to summon me like you did today in the future?" Wutian asked.
“Of course I can, but it comes at a considerable cost. For certain reasons, I can’t summon at will right now,” Li Daoyi said. Five hundred thousand points for one hour of online chatting—he didn’t have that many points to waste on such an expensive service.
"I see."
Wu Tian nodded, and then he closed his eyes.
"Huh?" Li Daoyi looked at Wutian in surprise. He saw that Wutian's forehead was slightly glowing and a swastika symbol appeared. Then the swastika symbol turned into a black lotus flower.
The lotus flower slowly grew larger, eventually becoming a lotus platform ten feet in size.
"Fellow Daoist, I'm giving this to you, I..." Before Wutian could finish speaking, he vanished instantly.
"..." Li Daoyi was stunned for a moment, because an hour had not yet passed, but Wutian had actually disappeared.
"Wow, a lotus!" Mengmeng cheered and pounced on the lotus, rolling around happily.
"Could it be..."
"System, view this item."
"Ding, 100,000 points need to be deducted."
"check."
"The Black Lotus Avatar of Annihilation possesses one percent of the power of the original body. It was created by Wutian by consuming his own source power. It is an innate spiritual treasure, which can only be used by the host whose cultivation level needs to reach that of a Celestial Immortal. This item can be recycled."
"Damn it..." Li Daoyi couldn't help but curse out loud.
"They give me something, but I can't use it. I'm speechless."
"How many points would it be worth if we recycled it?" Li Daoyi asked curiously.
"Five hundred million."
"So much..." Li Dao's spirits lifted immediately, his eyes shining as he looked at the black lotus. If he had five hundred million, he could naturally exchange for more things and accelerate his cultivation.
Finally, Li Daoyi couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the black lotus platform. It felt cool to the touch, and there was a trace of strange energy flowing through it, but this power seemed harmless to him.
"I've made up my mind!" Mengmeng suddenly shouted, instantly pulling Li Daoyi back from his reverie.
"What decision?" Li Daoyi asked, looking at the little girl.
"This will be my bed from now on!" the little guy said, comfortably sprawled on the lotus platform.
"..."
"No, little ancestor, I want to exchange for points," Li Daoyi said hurriedly.
"I don't want it, I want this one," Mengmeng said, pouting.
Let's discuss it.
"No discussion." The little guy said, his eyes blinking, looking like he was about to cry if the other person disagreed.
Li Daoyi felt like his head was about to explode.
"This kid is very playful. He might lose interest after a while. I'll just exchange it for something else then," Li Daoyi thought to himself.
"Alright, alright, here you go, okay?" Li Daoyi immediately changed his tune.
"Yay...that's great!" Mengmeng cheered. She jumped onto Li Daoyi and kissed him on the cheek.
"Sigh...this little devil is hard to please." Li Daoyi said helplessly.
