Apricot of the Great Desolation

Chapter 306 Half Step Eternity
In the Western Lingshan Mountain, in the Mahavira Hall, Ran Deng sat high on the nine-grade golden lotus of merit. The light of Buddha shone everywhere, and the power of faith surged like a tide. Ran Deng looked at the group of people traveling to the West below and said:
"The journey to the west is over. You have overcome thorns and thorns, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, subdued demons and monsters along the way, and encountered many dangers. Today, your merits are finally fulfilled!"

Although Ran Deng's words fell, a mysterious will condensed from all over the world, and that will was supreme and great, superior to all living beings.

He descended directly to Mount Sumeru, but there was no movement, and no one knew of His existence.

As Ran Deng spoke, Xuanzang below was full of excitement, but Sun Wukong was worried about gains and losses. Zhu Bajie looked at Sun Wukong with a worried look.

Sha Wujing and Bai Longma were already caught up in the excitement of the upcoming merit feast.

"Xuan Zang, you were a golden cicada in your previous life. Because you violated the precepts before the Buddha, you were demoted to the mortal world. Today, you have perfected your merits and you should be awarded the title of Sandalwood Merit Buddha."

As soon as the words fell, golden clouds gathered in the sky, rays of light spread across the sky, auspicious energy rose, and countless merits descended from the sky.

In an instant, Xuanzang's whole body became gleaming with golden light, and a giant cocoon appeared behind him.

As merit poured in, a crack opened on the giant cocoon.

"Om!!"

A cicada chirped, and the Buddhas in the Mahavira Hall only felt a buzz in their minds. This cicada chirp seemed to have started from the beginning of the world, and the sun and moon had reopened and stood in line with the great road.

The cicadas chirped, the great power of the avenue bloomed with dazzling splendor, and a golden cicada emerged from the cocoon.

The golden cicada has six wings on its back, its body is golden, its feet are filled with chaotic energy, and the lavender Hongmeng energy is swirling around it.
The Dharma of the Golden Chanzi and Xuanzang merged into one. In an instant, the cultivation level belonging to the Golden Chanzi Daluo returned. Xuanzang stepped out and transcended the long river of time and space.

It's not over yet, the merits keep pouring in, turning the golden cicada into gold. He seems to have become the incarnation of merits. This is also helped by the Buddhist attainment status.

The Dharma of the Relics appeared in his mind, but there was a very strong will controlling his thoughts and he was unable to practice the Dharma of the Relics.

Buddhist disciples all practiced the method of relics and became quasi-sages. As if driven by instinct, Xuanzang practiced the method given to him by the mysterious will.

boom!
The awe-inspiring pressure spread throughout the Mahavira Palace, Xuanzang became a quasi-sage, and looked majestic.

"Wukong, you have worked hard all the way and achieved great results through hard work. You subdued demons and demons, and escorted Xuanzang on his journey to the west. I will make you a fighting and victorious Buddha!"

After the words fell, another golden light shone, and the huge merits covered Sun Wukong, and the golden hoop on his head fell off automatically.

It is said that this golden hoop is of no use. It has only been used twice since it was put on. Once when Xuanzang couldn't control it, and once to distinguish the six-eared macaque from Sun Wukong.

The breath on Sun Wukong's body continued to rise, Da Luo peaked, Da Luo was perfect, and when he was about to enter the quasi-sage, he stopped.

There was neither a way to kill the three corpses nor a way to kill the Dao. He didn't know what to do next.

However, the merits of heaven helped him choose. Without any reason, he directly realized the Tao with the power of merits, understood the laws of Yi Cheng Dao, and entered the quasi-sage simply and crudely.

In the ancient times, the Ancestral Dragon, the First Phoenix, the First Qilin all used this method, and the later Zhulong Xuanniao also used this method.

"Bajie, you protected Xuanzang all the way, led the horse and carried the burden, and your hard work has made you great achievements. I will make you the messenger of the altar!"

When the merits are over, Zhu Bajie successfully jumps out of the long river of time and space. The three bodies are unified into one, and the heavens are unique and eternal.

Later, Ran Deng also sealed Sha Wujing as a golden Arhat, and the White Dragon Horse as the Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva, commanding the Eight Heavenly Dragons, and can be a lineage of Buddhist protector gods.

This makes all the Buddhas envious. Not to mention Sun Wukong and Xuanzang, Sun Wukong is the protagonist of the calamity, and Xuanzang is a Buddhist.

But Zhu Bajie and the three of them have strong backgrounds. They have excellent teachers, leaders who have no soldiers, and a good father.

Especially Zhu Bajie, who has low qualifications, unstable temperament, and is greedy and lustful, so he can become the third-generation chief of the People's Education. This is such a good life! !

After the five people were granted the title, their heavenly merits declined and their luck in Buddhism increased greatly.

The energy of calamity between heaven and earth gradually begins to dissipate, all causes and effects are cleared, dust returns to dust and dust returns to earth, and all the past is settled in calamity. At this time, the sea will naturally clear and the rivers will flow.

Driven by the power of calamity, the six prehistoric realms began their final integration.

In an instant, the heaven and earth changed, there was a loud rumble, the six realms merged, and the primitive world turned into a big ball, like a divine star, lying across the chaos.

The fairy world, the demon world, the human world and part of the demon world merged into one and became a new prehistoric continent.

The fairy world is in the east, the demon world is in the west, the human world is in the south, and the demon world is in the north.

The highest one is above the nine heavens, which is where the God Realm and the ancient starry sky are located, surrounded by the big stars, and the two supreme stars, the sun and the lunar yin, hang horizontally outside the prehistoric world.

But something unexpected happened during the fusion process in the underworld!

……

In the sea of ​​​​blood, the waves are turbulent and resentment is rising into the sky. Asuras of different shapes are patrolling. From time to time, souls emerge and are swallowed by the Asuras.

At this time, above the sea of ​​​​blood, Minghe, Fengdu and Houtu looked at a certain place in the sea of ​​​​blood with solemn expressions. It was a dark cave entrance exuding the Nine Netherworld Qi. This was the entrance to the Netherworld.

All the worlds are merging with the primitive world, but here there is a violent atmosphere.

Looking carefully, the waves of the blood sea are turbulent, impacting the other world, tit for tat with Him, and the beautiful neon lights flashing between the collisions of different laws.

"Empress, Great Emperor, why is this happening?" Ming He asked in confusion.

"The difference between the underworld and the ancient world is too great. The ancient world cannot be integrated at this time!" Hou Tu's voice was a little heavy.

Fengdu wore a flat crown on his head and held a book of life and death in his hand. Then Hou Tu said:
"The Netherworld was opened by the great god Pangu during the period of chaos. It only appeared in the ancient times and was connected to the ancient continent! Long years have passed. Although it is governed by the same heaven, it is already a different world, and the laws are mutually exclusive."

Endless years ago, Pangu created the world. At that time, he may have anticipated something, so he opened up the Netherworld and sealed it. Only his blood can open it.

This was the backup plan Pangu left for the twelve ancestral witches, so that the witch clan would not be wiped out.

But time has been too long, and in the evolution of the years, many different laws have evolved between the Nether World and the Ancient World.

Many laws are mutually exclusive, and real matter is not inclusive.Therefore, there is a barrier between other worlds and the underworld.

From the perspective of Heavenly Dao, it is definitely hoped that the six realms will be unified. In this way, the prehistoric world will advance to the half-step eternal true realm, and Heavenly Dao will also improve.

Evolution is a rule. Both living beings and the world are eager to evolve. Even if the law of heaven is supreme, there will be an instinct to evolve.

For Houtu and Styx, as the Netherworld merges into the prehistoric world, their authority will also increase, so the most anxious ones at this time are Houtu and Styx.

Just when several people were at a loss what to do, three streams of light flew over in unison.

"Two fellow Taoists, the five realms of the ancient world have become one. Why is this happening in the underworld?" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and Zhang Ye's voice came from afar.

"I've seen Dao Ancestor, Demon Ancestor, and Tianzun!" The two of them saluted.Fengdu also bowed, and then turned into a stream of light, blending with Zhang Ye.

"The three supreme Qizi, the difference between the underworld and the other five realms of the prehistoric world is too big, so it is difficult to integrate!" Minghe said with a bitter smile.

As soon as these words came out, Luo Hou looked at Hongjun subconsciously, and Hongjun chuckled: "It's easy!"

After Hongjun finished speaking, the jade disk of creation appeared above his head, and the laws of the great avenues stretched out from it, like a divine chain of order, stretching for millions of miles.

Thousands of divine lights, extremely brilliant, scattered everywhere like a flying rainbow.

Brilliant avenue chains connect the prehistoric world and the Netherworld, which have merged with the five realms. Gradually, the violent and incompatible laws of the two realms have something in common.

The fundamental reason why the laws of the two realms do not merge is that the avenues are arranged differently. If they are arranged differently, they will have different attributes and will not be tolerated.

This matter can be easily solved, as long as someone is willing to sort out the avenues and make the two avenues compatible.

It is difficult for others. The various avenues have different natures, different powers, and are messy and disorderly. How easy is it to sort them out from beginning to end?

But it is different for Hongjun, there is no other professional counterpart.

That's what Hongjun did when he joined forces and became the spokesperson of Heavenly Dao!
Compared with the chaotic laws of the entire prehistoric world, the chaotic laws of the underworld are not worth mentioning.

The jade dish of creation blooms with thousands of colorful rainbow lights. It hangs between the underworld and the prehistoric world, connecting the yin and yang worlds.

All kinds of chaotic and disorderly powers of the Dao law gradually calmed down under the combing of the good luck jade plate, and the two worlds that were originally incompatible have something in common.

The fusion of the five realms and the underworld finally began to merge.

Zhang Ye took a step forward, Wan Dao Zhong appeared in his hand, and said with a smile:
"Master, this disciple is here to wish you a helping hand!"

After all, the ten thousand dao bells rise, the ten thousand dao breaths circulate around, all kinds of different avenues rise, and the fusion speed of the two realms accelerates again, coupled with the promotion of the power of calamity.

Finally, with a roar, the prehistoric world was united.

At this moment, a special aura suddenly appeared in the ancient world, as if it existed forever and was eternal.

The six realms are unified. Although the area of ​​the prehistoric world has not expanded, the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, grass and trees, all the spirits of the prehistoric world, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, all have a sense of eternity.

The big ball of light in the original space of heaven is also dim and clear. It seems to be evolving towards a special personality. As for the extent to which it can reach in the future, no one knows.

When the prehistoric world advanced to the half-step of the eternal true world, the Six Saints of Heaven also received feedback from the prehistoric world. I ascended directly to the seventh heaven of saints and reached perfection, and the other five saints also reached the seventh heaven of saints.

Zhang Ye and Hongjun, who single-handedly promoted the fusion of the six realms, stood on the sea of ​​​​blood, with Luo Hou and Hou Tu next to them. Minghe went to stabilize the sea of ​​​​blood that had just experienced a great change in the world.

"Master Zu, our odds of winning have increased by [-]%!" Zhang Ye said
Hearing this, Hongjun sighed: "It's a pity that we haven't found the real place of return to ruins yet!"

"Fellow Taoists, please don't be too pessimistic. It's just a fight to the death!" Luo Hu said.

Listening to the pessimistic words of the three people, Hou Tu couldn't help but ask: "Tao Ancestor, Demon Ancestor, Tian Zun, if a war really starts, what are the chances of winning in our prehistoric era?"

Zhang Ye did not hide the news from Hou Tu. The reason why he did not announce the news was because some people wanted to escape, but Hou Tu would not.

Her body is one with the ancient world. Although she is now free from the six realms of reincarnation, this place is still her root.

As for the Wu Clan, it is even more impossible. For the Wu Clan, the prehistoric wilderness was opened up by Pangu, and this is something they must protect with their lives.

Zhang Ye said: "Only [-]%. This is due to the suppression of the Border Great Wall and Heavenly Dao. Before the promotion, it was only [-]%!"

"So low?" Hou Tu was shocked. This number was too low. You know, this was a local battle!

Zhang Ye smiled bitterly: "The top world in the four directions has never suffered a catastrophe. The number of Hunyuan Wuji experts in it is probably not less than ten digits, and the number of Hunyuan Wuji is not less than three digits. Fifty percent is pretty good! "

However, Luo Hou shook his head and said: "It is not ruled out that they can directly control the world and connect with the ancient world. In that case, our local advantage will be gone!"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid we only have a [-]% chance of winning!" Zhang Ye said worriedly.

"It's a pity that we haven't found the place of Guixu yet. If we find the real place of Guixu, our chances of winning should be [-]% higher!" Hongjun said.

"Master, does the Land of Return to Ruins really exist? Could it be that the Sea of ​​Dao Fire and the Continent of Embers that we went to last time are the real Places of Return to Ruins?"

Zhang Ye was puzzled, Hongjun and Luohou had been looking for the real place to return to since the last time they were in Ember Continent, even the two who made the Great Wall didn't come.

It has been such a long time, the prehistoric era is so big, and the two high-level Hunyuan Wuji have not been found after searching for such a long time. Zhang Ye has already doubted whether this place exists!
Not only Zhang Ye, but also Hou Tu looked at Hongjun with a puzzled look on his face.

"It definitely exists!" Hongjun said firmly.

Luo Hou also nodded and agreed: "Back then, Hongjun and I saw the real place of Guixu!"

For a moment, the scene fell into silence. Even if it really existed, it would be useless if I couldn't find it!

Ever since we learned that the Great Desolate World was about to engage in a world war of the same level as the four other parties, the entire Great Desolate World was filled with a sense of urgency.

Whether it is to gather the power of all the saints to build the Great Wall, or to promote the development of the Journey to the West, to unite the six realms of the prehistoric world, and to advance to the half-step eternal true realm, the purpose of all this is to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Honghuangba has done everything they can, and the Allied Forces of the Four Realms are not far away. All they can do is wait.

.........

The great changes in the ancient times did not affect the people in Lingshan Mountain in the West. On the Lingshan Mountain there was the great formation left by Laozi and the Two Saints of the West, and they did not receive the impact of the fusion of the six realms.

Although everyone in Journey to the West received a reward, Sun Wukong stood still.

Although he was awarded the title of Fighter and defeated the Buddha, and his cultivation was successfully promoted to quasi-sage, this was not what he wanted.

Sun Wukong took a step forward and asked: "I, the Buddha, have asked me something. Please ask the Buddha to clarify my doubts!"

Ran Deng sighed softly, he knew he couldn't hide it anymore, Sun Wukong had the talent of Hunyuan, even if he didn't tell, some people didn't want him to enter Buddhism!

"Ask!" Ran Deng stopped the advice of the Buddhist Buddhas.

"I want to know, is everything I have experienced since I grew up true or false?"
