Chapter 698: Heaven's Sorrow, Farewell to the Jade Emperor
"The theme of this Tian An Conference is about the opening of the Great Dark Heaven. As for the origin of the Great Dark Heaven, as the saying goes, heaven is to earth, sun is to moon, yang is to yin. There is a positive primitive world, and naturally there is also a negative primitive world. Therefore, all the evolutions of the primitive world in the mortal world will reappear in the Great Dark Heaven."

"From the siege of Primal Chaos by three thousand demon gods to Pangu creating the world and all things, everything will reappear one by one... There are countless treasures hidden in it, so this catastrophe is a great crisis, but it is also a great opportunity. I will not say much about this world, you will know when you go there."

"If you must ask, you can regard it as another prehistoric world."

"Your own existence is also in it. In this world, as long as the three corpses are not cut off, another self will be born."

"There is only one difference. In that prehistoric world, whenever a great catastrophe occurs in our world, a saint from the Purple Sky Palace will hold the Jade Butterfly of Creation to reenact the event. Billions of lives will be destroyed in an instant, and transformed into chaotic demonic energy."

"Although those chaotic evil spirits have been suppressed by the saints, they will seep in over time and affect the mentality of the people in our world. They will cause more evil thoughts in the hearts of the people in our world, and eventually evolve into a mortal murder."

“That’s why there were the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, the Lich Tribulation, the Conferred God Tribulation, the Spring and Autumn Period’s Hundred Schools’ Struggle, the Ancestral Dragon’s Fall, the Heaven’s Killing Tribulation, and so on. Of course, the final result is that each killing tribulation becomes smaller and smaller, until the Dark Sky is completely wiped out, and there will no longer be any terrifying mortal killing tribulations in the human world or the heavenly world.”

"There is only one thing that is beyond the expectations of the saint in Zixiao Palace, that is... his Dao fruit has been reduced to nothing, and is completely complete. However, due to the fate of the Three Pure Ones, they are unable to work together, causing the chaotic evil energy to pour out. The killing calamity of the Journey to the West has changed... Now you are needed to enter the scene in person, guide the changes in the dark sky, and eliminate the chaotic evil energy."

"This action is of inestimable value to any of the ten categories of the Zhoutian, the heavens, the earth, the human beings, the gods, the ghosts, the insects, the scales, the hairs, and the feathers. It is no less than a rebirth."

"According to what the World Honored One has learned, the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of Heaven, the Great Heavenly Lord of Forgiveness, the High God of the Mysterious Sky, has already gone to the Great Dark Heaven with the Xuanyuan Sword to eliminate the monsters of this era. According to the Jade Disc of Creation left by the Saint of the Purple Sky Palace, the earth, water, wind and fire will be repeated, and the creation of the Great Dark Heaven is about to begin... The new rules will be written by us!"

"This is a war of conquest, but also a war of fortune. The Great Dark Heaven is not as good as our world, but it can at least provide three saints. Who can pick the final fruit of the Tao..."

When Venerable Kashyapa said this, he paused deliberately.

"Amitabha, Kasyapa is right, but I would like to add one more thing, that is, cherish the resources you have now, and if you can break through, do it as soon as possible. Because after going to the Great Dark Heaven, the earth, water, wind and fire will reappear, and this time it will be very different from the past, and new rules will appear. The more abundant the foundation, the greater the chance of future achievement."

The Buddha from the East suddenly interrupted and then bowed to the Buddha apologetically.

Shakyamuni slowly opened his eyelids, his face showing no sadness or joy, and he said calmly, "It's okay."

Venerable Kasyapa then continued, "The Buddha said that the purpose is to gather everyone to speak freely. Everyone present, just say whatever you want. By the way, I would like to add one last sentence. Once you go to the Great Dark Heaven, don't even think about traveling between the two worlds. Those of you who hold important divine positions should first choose a successor before going to the Great Dark Heaven."

"Let me say something."

At one seat, Yun Xiao, who represented Jiejiao, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Those with less blessings and predestined relationships should go first. Since you don't have much foundation, it's better to go to other worlds to try your luck. The Buddhist sect today is very similar to our Jiejiao back then, with all kinds of demons and monsters sitting on the lotus pedestal. If this is the case, 'teaching without distinction' should send people there first."

"Amitabha."

Kasyapa smiled and spoke for Sakyamuni Buddha, "Although we have a shallow foundation in Lingshan, we are also people who have attained the state of emptiness of the five aggregates. However, the disciples of Shangqing Master have always been beasts who practice Taoism even the celestial officials who have been deified since ancient times. It is better to let them go first."

As Kasyapa finished speaking, the head of the second seat, the leader of the Hongyang sect, snorted coldly.

The so-called beasts have attained enlightenment. In his early years, the Qiushou Immortal was a green-haired lion.

Calling a monk a bald person in front of him is really hateful.

Although Qiushou Immortal was not at one seat, as the head of two seats, the gap between him and those at one seat was not so big as to constitute a chasm.

Therefore, some Taiyi Tianzuns who like to smooth things over tried to smooth things over: "The Three Realms and Ten Directions are discussing important matters together. Regardless of the depth of their blessings and predestined relationships, those with deep roots will achieve immortality, and there will also be immortality fruits in the Dark Heaven. Those with shallow roots will achieve godhood, and the Dark Heaven will also have incense and offerings in the future evolution of all races. Everyone has their own predestined relationships, so there is no need to argue about this."

"My subordinate Yuan Yuan'er (Nine Spirits Yuansheng) likes the Great Dark Heaven very much. It is difficult for him to find the Dao Fruit of Heavenly Venerable in the current world. Going to the Dark Heaven is a new opportunity. Therefore, we will not judge by seniority. Anyone with great ambitions and above the level of True Immortal can go there. If you don't want to, you can stay here, which is fine."

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, as a big boss in heaven who can be on good terms with Monkey Head, that is, the Monkey King back then, and not regard him as a disobedient brother, his character is really impeccable.

The Eastern Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, standing aside just laughed and said nothing.

The boy behind him, the old demon with yellow eyebrows, interrupted, "If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go. Why bother? As for good fortune, whether it's the Chan or Jie sect, most of it has already been spent during the Conferred God period. Going to the Dark Heaven is to gamble for wealth, to seek to transcend the sea of ​​suffering, or at worst to achieve the fruit of a quasi-saint. It's not just a job, so I, Huang Mei'er, will go and fight for it."

"Some people want to go, and some don't. That's not good. Those who want to go can go, and those who don't want to go can stay."

Lin Dong mentioned it casually.

It is normal for even immortals and Buddhas to be afraid of an unknown world.

Because the unknown also means danger, the first batch of intruders will definitely encounter more danger than gain.

However, once obtained, as Kasyapa had said before, it would be a treasure in any world.

Maybe Lin Dong could take this opportunity to make further progress. He is now about to become a quasi-saint.

But this “will”...

According to the immortals and Buddhas, the time concept is at least thousands of years.

Or they can slowly cultivate disciples of their own sect, like the way the Hongyang Sect developed.

Or you can look for destiny, which is too illusory.

If they want to break through as quickly as possible, both Sect Leader Hongyang and Lin Dong have to go to the Dark Sky.

The last guard of the armory that Lin Dong was looking for.

Isn’t Indra also in the Great Dark Heaven now?

"What the Netherworld Cult Master said makes sense."

Bull Demon King stood and Lin Dong continued.

The fake Ziwei Emperor suddenly said: "Old Bull, you are full of filthy blood, it would be best for you to practice in the Great Dark Heaven."

"Oh? It seems that Emperor Ziwei knows a lot about it."

The Bull Demon King seemed to know some inside information and looked at Ziwei with a smile.

"okay."

In the end, it was Emperor Gou Chen who made the final decision and said, "Master Hongyang wants to destroy the world, so he must go. Among the Buddhist sects, one of Sakyamuni Buddha and Donglai Buddha will go, and the other will stay to preside over the sect. Bull Demon King will go, and Lin Yuanjue can go if he wants to. The people from the other three religions can decide for themselves."

"However, I have one more thing to say. Avalokitesvara has to go to pay for past karma, Samantabhadra and Manjusri do not have enough blessings, so they have to go. Dipankara Buddha does not care about worldly affairs, so in that case, Vairocana Tathagata has to go. Kulaisun, Dingguang and others, some of whom have apostatized and converted to Buddhism, and some of whom are extremely licentious, all have to go, to experience tribulations and practice, and to contribute to the present prehistoric world. Now that I have finished speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"

Gou Chen's words were extremely arrogant, but no one at the table, including the Buddha, Yun Xiao, Tai Yi and other powerful figures, objected.

"Cough cough."

Venerable Kasyapa coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, are you speaking on behalf of Heaven or yourself?"

"Emperor Gou Chen's words are my words. I agree with him completely."

The fake Ziwei said hurriedly.

Gou Chen stared at Jiaye with a half-smile, and the whole venue fell silent, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"All the Arhats and above in Buddhism are gone, all the true immortals in Taoism are gone, and the same goes for the great demons and devils."

The Buddha, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"good."

Master Xuandu, who had been silent all this time, also spoke in support of Sakyamuni, and the matter was settled.

Emperor Gou Chen had a gloomy face and did not speak. Neither the Buddha nor Xuan Du refuted him, but it still made him, a veteran of the Heavenly Court, feel very bored.

Besides, if Buddhism and Taoism joined forces, he really wouldn't be able to get a say.

Lin Dong glanced at Master Xuandu.

Without the abnormal magic weapon bestowed by the Supreme Dao Ancestor, Lin Dong believed that he would definitely defeat his opponent.

But if the instruments bestowed by the Supreme Dao Ancestor completely violated the laws of cause and effect and time and space, Lin Dong would be a little unsure when facing the Great Master Xuandu.

If he were to fight with Sakyamuni, he could challenge the other party right away if he became a Buddha. However, after achieving the status of Thunder Sound King Buddha, Lin Dong felt the vastness of Sakyamuni Buddha, which was as vast as the Milky Way, unreachable and unfathomable.

He estimated himself in his heart that if he faced Sakyamuni Buddha, his chance of winning would probably be less than 20% or 30%.

"Since there is no doubt about the number of people, we can work together to formulate the rules of Dark Sky. For details, I suggest..."

As a substitute for Sakyamuni Buddha, Kashyapa continued his proposal.

"There are no rules. It's just the survival of the fittest. When a low-ranking person meets a high-ranking person, it's just bad luck. No matter what happens, this has been the rule since ancient times."

Lin Dong interrupted Jiaye's words.

After saying that, Lin Dong, like Emperor Formation, gave a cold glance: “Who dares to object!”

"I agree!"

Emperor Gou Chen was the first to speak.

"I agree too."

Emperor Ziwei and Bull Demon King raised their hands one after another.

After them came the Buddha and Yunxiao from the East.

In an instant, Lin Dong's words showed an overwhelming advantage.

Sakyamuni Buddha looked at Lin Dong deeply and slowly raised his hand: "Good."

Xuan didn't finish his words but nodded.

This is the time.

Rumble.

Another loud noise was heard between heaven and earth, and the entire sacred mountain was shaking.

The entire thirty-three days were split in the middle.

Among the four continents, Western Heniuzhou and Southern Zhanbuzhou were broken in the middle, the crust was shattered, the mantle was ejected, the coast was boiled, and the sea was split into two.

At that moment, countless immortals, Buddhas and sacred beings all looked up.

The moment the world split in half, an unspeakable dark abyss appeared in the center of the sky.

At the edge of the abyss is endless blue-purple thunder and thick bubbles of thunder magma, while in the center of the abyss is a picture scroll.

There is a void in the center of the scroll.

Above the void, there is a golden sword and an old man with gray hair holding the sword.

"Old Jade Emperor."

Lin Dong recognized it.

"Is this the world behind the bronze door?"

Just when Lin Dong was beginning to feel doubtful, dozens of huge and mysterious black shadows attacked the old Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor wielded his sword to kill the evil, clearing out demons one after another.

A hybrid of man and dragon, with a hideous head hundreds of meters high.

A monster with human-like limbs, but webbed hands and feet, and a pair of detached wings on its back.

Bloody scales and vertical eyes that look like the sun.

They are like some irregular evil beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
There are also some familiar shadows.

Various immortals and Buddhas appeared during the Shang Dynasty.

On every star in the void opposite stands a disciple of the Jiejiao who once appeared in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

The Qiushou Immortal, the Dark Cloud Immortal, the Golden Hoop Immortal Ma Sui, the Lingya Immortal and so on.

These people were arranged and stacked up in the shape of the Great Array of Stars in the Sky, surrounding the Jade Emperor like a swarm of locusts.

"The people of Dark Sky are really ungrateful. Who are they pretending to be like this for?"

"It's not that I like killing. This disaster is all your own fault."

"Master Hongjun is the same. He left and I still have to clean up his mess."

……

The Jade Emperor was mumbling something, but it just happened to come over.

And in the sky above the stars, there are four treasures with strange auras floating.

A simple and unadorned mirror, a black canopy, a pagoda, and an axe.

"Everyone in the prehistoric world, listen carefully. There is one thing about the previous misjudgment. There is no saint in the Great Dark Heaven. Instead, several super treasures have evolved. When they work together, even the Jade Disc of Creation cannot suppress them. No wonder Xuanyuan warned me to just throw the Human Emperor Sword in."

"I have a lot to say, but I don't know where to start. These 'old people' you see now are actually evil demons. For example, the one with the big eyeball wants to become Lu Ya Daojun to deceive me, and all this is the work of the mirror."

"In addition, after practicing to a certain level, the chaotic demonic energy will turn people into treasures, spiritual treasures, and magic treasures. And this is the natural calamity of this world! The rest is not much different from the ancient times, only slightly inferior in terms of the total amount of spiritual energy."

"I'm leaving!"

After saying the last three words, the Jade Emperor swung the magic sword in his hand fiercely.

Roar!
The monster with a huge head and tentacles that was as furious as a celestial body had its head cut off.

Rumble!
The golden sword slashed through the dark void, leaving a gap of tens of thousands of miles.

At the same time, the evil god from outside the sect was also torn open, with a body and head as big as a celestial body.

Green liquid sprayed everywhere.

It looks like an octopus, with a vague human outline, its body seems to be covered with scaly jelly, it crawls with giant claws, and it has a pair of long and narrow wings...a monster.

The obese body left a huge scar.

Then it was ignited by golden flames, like a burning star standing in the void.

Dark green juice was dripping from the Xuanyuan Sword.

The muscles in the Jade Emperor's arms holding the sword bulged like a clear stream flowing over rocks.

"Zhu Xie!"

The Jade Emperor shouted again, his hair on his forehead fluttering and the blood vessels in his temples bulging.
