Chapter 572: Chapter 30: You Gift Me the Heaven-Flipping Skill, I Gift You the Daluo Dao

None of the injuries were serious, but without exception, they were all aimed at the face. And they wouldn’t fade.

"What a scoundrel! An absolute scoundrel!!"

.........

「Deep within the Chaos.」

The Lame Daoist led Lu Xuan to a seat. After confirming there were no prying eyes, he sighed and said,

"Tsk tsk, that Second Master of yours is truly audacious... What a tragedy! A real tragedy!"

Lu Xuan casually sealed Xiaohuo’er’s six senses, then glanced at the still-trembling God-Sealing Years. A wry smile appeared on his face.

"What can I even say about this..."

After a pause, his expression turned serious.

"Three Masters, after leaving the Great Dao Meditation Mat, the pull from the River of Time has returned. I cannot stay here for long. If I do, something might be noticed."

"That is not an issue."

The Lame Daoist stretched his neck to get a better look at a certain someone’s miserable state, while simultaneously tapping a finger. A profound and mysterious Dao Rhyme attached itself to Lu Xuan.

"This portion of Dao Rhyme can protect you, allowing you to linger above the Years for a time. It should last until the Current World has recovered enough to accommodate a Dao Fruit. You won’t be exposed for now, so you can rest easy."

Lu Xuan felt the terrifying pull dissipate once more and let out a sigh of relief. He then said,

"Three Masters, Amitabha Buddha is about to make his move. I also need to begin my attempt to gradually usurp the Celestial Realm. The trouble is..."

He frowned, a worried look on his face.

"The trouble is that during this process, I must use the Human Dao Trend to strike at the heavens and the earth, causing the Celestial Dao to be deficient and the Earth Virtue to be damaged."

"And the great problem is how to transfer the immense negative karma from this deficiency and damage onto Amitabha Buddha and the Buddha Mother."

The Lame Daoist’s expression also grew solemn. He pondered for a moment, then said with a smile,

"Difficult, but not impossible... The four people currently vying for the position of master of the Human World—you’ve already prepared contingencies for all of them, haven’t you?"

Lu Xuan nodded decisively.

"Of course. Whether it’s Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, or Yuan Shao, they will all be under my command when the time comes."

"Then it’s simple. Create a stalemate, one that even the Buddha Mother and Taiyi cannot resolve when they intervene. This will force Amitabha Buddha to personally step in and suppress everything."

The Lame Daoist said solemnly,

"At that point, Amitabha Buddha will support one person to ascend to the throne of the new Human King, but he himself will become entangled in that New Dynasty. Then, when you have the new Human King strike the heavens and the earth, the negative karma will naturally fall upon Amitabha Buddha."

Lu Xuan understood, looking thoughtful.

’Is it because Amitabha Buddha will be responsible for the birth of the New Dynasty? That clarifies my thinking a bit.’

’If, during this process, I can usurp a small part of Heaven and exert my influence, causing the great will angered by the deficiency and damage to descend squarely upon the Western Pure Land... ’

"Then the matter will be settled."

The Lame Daoist picked up the thread and said with a smile,

"However, how to maintain the stalemate even with two Ancient Ones intervening, to the point where Amitabha Buddha is forced to suppress everything himself—that will be up to you."

Lu Xuan nodded solemnly.

"Rest assured, Three Masters. I have a plan. I can’t say it’s a sure thing, but I have at least a seventy percent chance of success."

"Good."

The Lame Daoist smiled in satisfaction, then changed the subject.

"How goes your collection of the other Dao Artifacts?"

"The Purple Cloud Palace counts as one. With the Azure Heaven Crown, I’m still missing two."

Lu Xuan said while organizing his thoughts,

"As for the remaining two, I have some ideas. The Donghuang Bell wielded by Taiyi possesses immense power and was also the beginning of everything for me. It is compatible with me, so I plan to make a play for it."

"Then there is Fu Xi. The River Map and Luo Book he wields is also a Great Artifact comparable to the Dao Fruit level. It’s just that something seems off about him..."

As he spoke, his gaze deepened. His own journey had begun with a single fragment of the Donghuang Bell,

which had sent his dreams back to Ancient Times, leading him through all these experiences...

"Fu Xi?" The Lame Daoist frowned. "That little fellow is indeed a bit strange. Perhaps you could go and ask the Demon Ancestor?"

"Ask the Demon Ancestor?"

Lu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then he understood. A strange expression crossed his face as he said,

"Amitabha Buddha said I could interact with him more... Should I really? They definitely won’t believe it."

"Belief is one thing," the Lame Daoist chuckled. "But they will ultimately have to give some face to a new Chess Player like you."

"Alright, I’ll go give it a try."

Lu Xuan bowed his farewell. Without unsealing Xiaohuo’er, he took him and walked toward the other side of the Great Chaos.

.........

「Meanwhile, in the Late Han Dynasty.」

Lu Xuan’s primary consciousness transferred into the body of Supreme Profound Clarity.

He gazed at the vast battlefield unfolding around the Yellow River. Emperor Fengdu, the Ancestral Dragon, and others were seated above the battlefield, distantly facing the Immortal Mother and the Innocent Ancient Buddha.

Supreme beings like the Great Sun Buddha were also about to arrive. The situation was almost completely one-sided. If this continued,

let alone a stalemate, Yuan Shao would probably conquer the world within a year...

’Daluo as anchors, Celestials as commanders, Immortals as generals, and True Immortals as soldiers...’

Lu Xuan straightened his Supreme Daoist Robe and murmured to himself,

"This mortal war can already be compared to the Divine Enthronement, but it’s still not enough..."

Beside him, a waiting Zhang Jiao looked up curiously.

"Supreme Venerable, your meaning is?"

Lu Xuan glanced at him and said calmly,

"Zhang Jiao, ’The Azure Heaven is dead, the Clear Heaven shall arise.’ This isn’t just a slogan. It must be done..."

He paused, then casually drew up a Decree and handed it to Zhang Jiao, adding,

"Take this Decree and go to the West Sea. Daluo will descend... many Daluo."

Zhang Jiao’s expression changed. He accepted the Decree with the utmost respect, but couldn’t help asking cautiously,

"Supreme Venerable, what’s next...?"

Lu Xuan strode out of the Daoist Palace, casually tore open the River of Time, and said serenely,

"Next, the Daluo will also fight and kill on the battlefield, instead of sitting on high and looking down on everything."
