Chapter 2008 - 2007: The Core of a World, Palm Buddha

The entire Orchid Island is a Heavenly Net Earthly Trap, and the terror within is not surprising.

However, Xu Zimei is confident, though he now needs to question the strength of Gongsun Muya.

He must fully understand the extent to which the other's technological path has advanced.

Thus, Xu Zimei did not rush to take action upon entering Orchid Island; instead, he concealed himself within the void.

Prepared to observe Gongsun Muya's next actions.

......

This time, ambushing Gongsun Muya, three major forces have expended countless resources.

Only just managing to slay Gongsun Muya's partner here.

And deploying the Heaven-covering Great Array, sealing it tightly in the Heavenly Net Earthly Trap.

It can be said that as long as Gongsun Muya enters, escape is impossible.

Moreover, this time, the three forces have sent out their elite forces.

The Sect Leader of Shennong Gate, known as Three Treasures Heavenly Venerable.

These "three treasures" are not some treasure, divine weapon, or divine pill.

Of course, what might be referred to as three treasures could be more crucial than true treasures.

The three treasures were left behind by the creator of Shennong Gate.

One of them is the Paddy White Feather Robe.

Currently worn by Three Treasures Heavenly Venerable.

Three Treasures Heavenly Venerable is an elder in his twilight years, with white hair and beard, visibly senile.

Yet when he walks, his presence is compelling.

Especially the Paddy White Feather Robe he wears, which is said to withstand the attacks of Three Corpses Strong Ones.

This is indeed exaggerated.

There's no need for cultivation; as long as you don this robe, even a Three Corpses Strong One cannot harm you.

In the entire Nine Domains, this Paddy White Feather Robe is exceedingly rare.

It is said that back when the ancestor of Shennong Gate created this robe, he harnessed the power of Heavenly Dao, drew the essence of paddy, and forged the robe.

One might even claim that its creation was ten percent human and ninety percent naturally crafted by the world.

Three Treasures Heavenly Venerable, wearing this robe, stands majestically at the forefront.

He looks toward the distant mechas.

He does not make a move; it's just some mechas, not befitting his status, and those below him are enough to handle them.

"This Gongsun Muya is always cunning, do not let external forces distract you.

As soon as his appearance is confirmed, close the barrier and shut the gate to trap the dog."

Three Treasures Heavenly Venerable said calmly.

A soft chuckle echoed from the side.

A little acolyte appeared, standing there with a slender figure clad in a white monk's robe.

The little acolyte, standing about 1.6 meters tall, had earlobes as large as pearls.

Without joy or grief, even his tone was angry and chuckling, his facial expression remained unaffected.

With a face of neither joy nor sorrow, he chuckled lightly and said, "Rest assured, unless Gongsun Muya dares not come.

If he comes, not even the Heavenly King can save him."

The little acolyte spoke with great confidence.

This is quite normal, as the little acolyte is the contemporary Buddha Ancestor of Myriad Buddha Sect.

Known as Palm Buddha.

Though the name "Palm Buddha" may seem inconspicuous, he created Palm Country, capable of merging three hundred Arhats, thirty Bodhisattvas, and countless followers with his power alone.

Under one palm, no one can withstand the force.

Because his strength does not belong to him alone, but to an entire Buddha Country.

When Buddha Country manifests, anyone who arrives must retreat thrice.

Besides Palm Buddha, there stands a woman next to him.

She is the Sect Leader of Spirit Beast Gate.

Seven Demon Blade Princess!

A name with four characters is indeed rare.

Yet, Seven Demon Blade Princess has made her name known throughout Immortal Island.

It is said that since childhood, she loved blade techniques, unbeaten among her peers as a young maiden.

This dominance among peers extends beyond Spirit Beast Gate, encompassing all of Immortal Island.

No peer could withstand more than a few strikes from her.

And she possesses the exceedingly rare Monster God Body.

Spirit Beast Gate follows a rule where each individual may choose a Divine Beast as a guardian from birth.

From then on, they use that as the direction for their cultivation.

But due to her Monster God Body, Seven Demon Blade Princess directly earned the approval of seven Divine Beasts.

It's said apart from blade technique, she simultaneously cultivates seven Great Daos within the Demon Path.

No one knows precisely how strong she truly is.

Because she hasn't acted in a thousand years.

Among these three, the appearance of any one of them is enough to shake Immortal Island with a mere stamp of their foot.

And that's without mentioning the simultaneous appearance of all three.

Though there are numerous super forces on Immortal Island.

Indeed, if we rank them, counting out Myriad Buddha Sect and Shennong Gate, Seven Demon Blade Princess would surely be at the forefront.

Palm Buddha and Three Treasures Heavenly Venerable are each in the Three Flowers Realm.

Regarding Seven Demon Blade Princess, some say she has already reached the Three Flowers pinnacle; others claim she has opened the Three Corpses.

But these statements remain rumors, not truly proven yet.

Currently, the three stand here, with Three Treasures Heavenly Venerable and Palm Buddha following Seven Demon Blade Princess's lead.

In contrast to the confidence of the two men, Seven Demon Blade Princess is noticeably more cautious.

"A lion pounces on a rabbit with all its strength.

We must not be careless."

"This Gongsun Muya is a hero of his era; if he hadn't pursued this technological path, I would have loved to have a proper conversation with him.

Invite him to Spirit Beast Gate."

Upon mentioning this, knife lights erupted from the eyes of Seven Demon Blade Princess.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

"The technological path is digging at the roots of our cultivation path."

"In just three years, my Spirit Beast Gate has seen three thousand disciples who sought refuge in the technological stream.

This is truly astonishing."

Three thousand people, although the count isn't great.

But bear in mind, Spirit Beast Gate is a super force on Immortal Island.

For disciples to join here, they must have made countless sacrifices, wearing the identity of Spirit Beast Gate disciple with pride.

Spirit Beast Gate isn't a power of just any Tom, Dick, or Harry.

For some disciples from a super force to voluntarily join the technological path, it's evident how formidable Gongsun Muya is.

Three Treasures Heavenly Venerable nodded in agreement.

He said, "I have explored this technological path."

"They do not focus much on their own power, but rather have an obsession with external power."

"According to their vision, technology is the driving force behind everything, and once developed to the end.

Everything will be centered around unmanned and intelligent control."

"Eventually, you won't need to do anything; just at the flick of a finger, unmanned warships will attack automatically.

Society can develop autonomously."

"If you wish to fight, there's no need to lift a hand; countless unmanned mechas and AI-controlled mechas can level everything."

"The only drawback is they cannot achieve immortality like cultivation.

Gongsun Muya has recently started researching gene recombination in hopes of compensating for this deficiency."

Gongsun Muya's idea is truly terrifying, having already transcended worldly thinking.

This transformation is not only a challenge to the powerful but also a dramatically greater challenge to ordinary people.

Beyond combat, technology could advance transportation.

Strong individuals can travel hundreds of Baili in a step; what about those with low intelligence?

If the technological path invents transportation tools, that is a revolution of a world.
