Chapter 661 - 71: The Daoist Ancestor Position Sheds Its Embryonic Form, Lu Xuan Becomes Head of the Three Pure Ones (Part 2)

Chapter 661: Chapter 71: The Daoist Ancestor Position Sheds Its Embryonic Form, Lu Xuan Becomes Head of the Three Pure Ones (Part 2)

In the next instant, the feeling of panic vanished. And in The Beginning of Ancient Times, Lu Xuan kept smiling as he allowed himself to be pierced through.

His Transcendent Dao Body, capable of fighting an Ancient One with sheer power, shattered, tore apart, was annihilated, and collapsed under this one strike!

From his Physique to his soul, and even down to his fundamental True Spirit, everything shattered at once!

Utterly dead.

"Is it... over?"

Haotian spoke softly, his expression incredibly grave. For a long, long time, the Supreme Beings stared at the spot where the mysterious Daoist Ancestor had been destroyed.

’It seems... it’s really over?’

Ancient Bodhi Buddha let out a soft sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face.

’A full-force blow from eight Supreme Beings combined... Even the current Supreme would be doomed to die if he faced it head-on!’

The only ones who could have withstood such a strike were Primordial at The Beginning of Ancient Times, Supreme in his prime, and Spirit Treasure during the final apocalypse.

Even the Goddess with her Transcendent Body could not have withstood it, because Demon Ancestor and Fu Xi had also struck, and they could bypass her Transcendent Body!

Amitabha Buddha let out a soft laugh.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. It’s all over. Primordial’s scheme was truly terrifying. Now, let’s see just who this person really was."

The Supreme Beings exchanged glances and acted at once, performing divinations and calculations. With the mysterious Daoist Ancestor dead, he had no secrets left. They easily deduced his origins.

"He is..."

Ancient Bodhi Buddha was dumbfounded.

"Great Sun Buddha??"

Amitabha was bewildered, Buddha Mother was flabbergasted, and all the Supreme Beings were stunned. It really was Great Sun Buddha!

This absolutely couldn’t be faked. The fundamental laws of heaven showed that he was the Preacher!

"Primordial, why would he cover for Great Sun Buddha??"

Amitabha Buddha was completely baffled, his face a mask of utter confusion.

Beside them, Buddha Mother blinked and offered a guess:

"Perhaps Great Sun Buddha betrayed us long ago, secretly defecting to Primordial and making a deal with him? But that makes no sense either. Why would Primordial possibly support him in becoming the [Daoist Ancestor]?"

All the Supreme Beings found it inconceivable. They broke into fervent discussion, guessing and pondering, but they simply couldn’t make any sense of it.

This matter was simply beyond their comprehension. Only Fu Xi furrowed his brow, feeling that something wasn’t right, that there was...

A sense of dissonance.

He was all too familiar with this sense of dissonance.

But Fu Xi immediately dismissed the idea. ’That’s impossible. Transcendent Traits have always been unique.’

Aside from the Innate Uncertain Number, which had been split in two, there were absolutely no identical Transcendent Traits in the entire world.

"Something’s wrong." Taiyi suddenly frowned, his insight piercing the flow of Years. "The Jade Tower Realm and the Climbing the Divine Ladder Realm have not been destroyed. They haven’t dissipated!"

The faces of the Supreme Beings shifted. Buddha Mother mused for a moment before guessing:

"Could it be that our previous speculation was wrong? After establishing the fundamental Dharma, the position of Daoist Ancestor didn’t directly become a symbol of the two Great Realms? Or could it be... that Great Sun Buddha didn’t truly die?"

"Impossible."

Haotian flatly refuted.

"Great Sun Buddha has been utterly annihilated. His True Spirit is shattered; nothing of him remains. There is absolutely no possibility of his survival or return. And we can be certain that he was indeed the one conducting the Cultivation moments ago, and he was indeed the one who took the blow..."

After a pause, he continued gravely:

"In that case, perhaps Great Sun Buddha had yet to fully secure his position as the [Daoist Ancestor]? But then again, since when did Great Sun Buddha possess such immense power? That Physique of his..."

The Supreme Beings became even more confused, each lost in disbelief. Such an absurd Physique, with the sheer physical strength to rival an Ancient One...

This Great Sun Buddha had hidden himself far too deeply all this time!

After discussing for a while without reaching any conclusion, the Supreme Beings each returned to their respective places.

Amitabha and Bodhi returned to the Western Buddhists, Haotian went back to his valley, ’Houtu’ disappeared into the earth, and Buddha Mother departed. Demon Ancestor and Fu Xi, meanwhile, left The Beginning of Ancient Times side by side.

It seemed that everything was finally settled.

"Those who plot for the position of Daoist Ancestor shall die."

The Supreme Beings declared in unison, their expressions solemn.

............

"Master..."

The little monkey’s eyes were red, evidence of a long bout of crying. He spoke between sobs:

"Didn’t you die?"

Lu Xuan irritably smacked him on the head.

"What’s all this talk about dying? Don’t say such unlucky things. The one who died was Great Sun Buddha. What does that have to do with me?"

As he said this, he stretched, yawned, and a faint smile graced his lips.

"Alright, go on and focus on your training. Once you’ve fully comprehended [Buzhou] and [Divinity Transformation], I’ll teach you what comes next. You must take each step firmly!"

The little monkey, still bewildered, gave a bow and departed in a daze.

After he left, the figures of Supreme and the Lame Daoist slowly emerged.

"Oh, you..."

Supreme sighed softly.

"You are truly audacious."

"I was just giving it a try. I simply didn’t expect this Transcendent Trait of Fu Xi’s would be so useful."

Lu Xuan chuckled, then quickly rose to bow respectfully.

When he had gone to the Western Buddha Land at The Beginning of Ancient Times to preach, he had already activated his [Body Transformation] Transcendent Trait,

silently replacing Great Sun Buddha and transforming into him...

So, the one who was slain was Great Sun Buddha.

Lu Xuan let out a slow breath, served a cup of hot tea to both Supreme and the Lame Daoist, and bowed respectfully.

Then he asked worriedly:

"Second Master... is he..."

"Your Second Master is alright," Supreme said gently after taking a sip of tea. "He has only been sealed away. He fell into a deep sleep within The Beginning of Ancient Times, but it won’t be for too long."

The Lame Daoist chuckled as well.

"That old blind man... he’s really something else, willing to part with three of his four sources of origin for you. I reckon..."
