Chương 80: Buddha and Demon 1

Comprehending the primordial world is no easy feat. However, Fang Yang can use a cheat code.

Previously in the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor gave Fang Yang one ounce of Primordial Enlightenment Tea.

The Primordial Enlightenment Tea is a divine object formed from the Chaos Spiritual Root. After Fang Yang consumes the Primordial Enlightenment Tea, he will enter a state of pseudo-omniscience.

Pseudo-omniscience and true omniscience are different. True omniscience means knowing everything and understanding everything, while pseudo-omniscience means being able to see through the evolution of things through various data.

Fang Yang projected himself across the heavens not to cultivate in those realms, but to collect data from the entire primordial world. Then, he consumed the Primordial Enlightenment Tea to comprehend the process of Pangu creating heaven and earth. Finally, by reversing this process, he deduced the Great Array of Heaven and Earth Uniting.

Fang Yang was confident, not arrogant. He wasn't arrogant enough to believe that his projection could comprehend all the mysteries of the primordial world.

If he had this ability, he would have already attained the Primordial Dao, so why would he need to go through all the trouble of cultivating some kind of formation?

It took Fang Yang 1, 300 years to master the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying. However, during those 1, 300 years, the Tongtian Sect Leader continued to preach. Under the sage's wondrous teachings, Fang Yang listened attentively and finally achieved a breakthrough.

Our Lady of the Golden Spirit, Our Lady of Wudang, and Our Lady of the Tortoise Spirit were all experienced listeners of the gospel; they had already gained experience from listening to it.

Fang Yang made a breakthrough, and they also benefited greatly.

All three were powerful beings in the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Although they had focused their talent on other Taoist arts, they were still quite skilled in cultivating the Jie Sect's Taoist arts.

Every time the Tongtian Sect Leader preached, their cultivation would improve. This time was no exception; the Golden Spirit Mother's aura surged, and the laws of the stars transformed into a phantom river of the Great Dao.

The peak of the Great Luo has arrived!

With this breakthrough, the Golden Spirit Mother caught up with Daoist Duobao and became an existence on par with him.

The cultivation levels of the Holy Mother Wudang and the Holy Mother Guiling were still somewhat lacking, but through listening to the Dao, their cultivation levels made great progress, and reaching the peak of the Great Luo realm was just a matter of time.

Compared to them, the performance of many outer sect masters was much worse.

Fairy Yunxiao's talent was not weak, but unfortunately, she had a different lineage. Her first teacher was Ancestor Hongyun, and although she cultivated Shangqing Daoist arts, she still had to retain the characteristics of Hongyun Daoist arts.

Zhao Gongming and Fairy Qiongxiao were in similar situations to Fairy Yunxiao, and Fairy Qiongxiao's talent was significantly inferior to Fairy Yunxiao's.

As for Fairy Bixiao, her personality is too unconventional, and she has not yet cultivated herself into a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Among the outer sect members, only Zhao Gongming's team and the Seven Immortals of Penglai's team are Great Luo Golden Immortals. The Seven Immortals of Penglai's team is no match for Zhao Gongming's team.

If the Seven Immortals of Penglai were in the demonic realm, each of them would be qualified to become a disciple of Rahu.

If Rahu were to preach at the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons, and seven prayer cushions were prepared there, the owners of these seven prayer cushions would undoubtedly be the Seven Immortals of Penglai.

Unfortunately, they didn't hear Rahu preach in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, but rather in the Biyou Palace where Tongtian Jiaozhu preached.

They were like a bunch of English-study failures who had wandered into the English teacher's classroom. The Master of Heaven was lecturing enthusiastically, while the Seven Immortals of Penglai were dozing off.

They could barely keep up with the simple and easy-to-understand content, but when it got a little more advanced, the Seven Immortals of Penglai were like listening to celestial scriptures.

They could understand every single word spoken by the Master of Heaven, but when these words were strung together into sentences, they could not comprehend their meaning.

The Seven Immortals of Penglai grew increasingly irritated as they listened, but because of the Tongtian Sect Leader, they could only sit on their prayer mats, listening quietly to the Daoist chants they couldn't understand at all.

Wu Yunxian felt extremely displeased. He thought that the Xuanmen Daoist arts were incredibly tedious, constantly requiring the cultivation of one's mind and wisdom. This path of cultivation was anything but enjoyable.

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was even more absent-minded, his gaze frequently drifting towards Jiu Yao Zhen Jun. Seeing that Jiu Yao Zhen Jun's cultivation was becoming increasingly profound, he felt both worried and jealous.

Why is it that he can't understand Xuanmen Daoist arts, but the Nine Luminaries True Lord can? You must know, he's a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

If Fang Yang hadn't been comprehending his natal array, and if he could have seen these things, he would have understood why so many worldly beings joined Buddhism after the Investiture of the Gods.

Buddhism and demonic arts are one; although Buddhist teachings and demonic arts are one good and one evil, one righteous and one wicked, they are interconnected. Those who are talented in demonic arts are also highly talented in Buddhist teachings.

The reason why the two Western Saints chose Duobao Daoren and entrusted Buddhism to him was because they discovered this.

This means that within the Jie Sect, those who achieve mastery in demonic arts are promising candidates to become Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or Arhats. The two Western Saints' claim that they led the Jie Sect disciples into the demonic path was a ruse; their true intention was to guide them into the Buddhist path.

Fang Yang didn't need to know any of this. Once his cultivation was complete, all the disciples who had damaged the reputation of the Jie Sect would be sent to the Heavenly Court. The pawns sent by the Western Sect, the Underworld, and the Demonic Path would all become his slaves. No matter how grand their schemes or how many plots they had, they wouldn't be able to carry them out.

Two hundred years later, the Tongtian Sect Leader's sermon was nearing its end, and most of the disciples in the hall had already awakened. Fang Yang, meanwhile, withdrew his projections from the past and future.

Fang Yang reached out and grabbed all the data he had collected from the primordial mountains, rivers, stars, oceans, and lands throughout the heavens, which all entered his brow. After receiving this data, he took out the Primordial Enlightenment Tea.

The Chaos Crystal Tea Cup was gently opened, and a wisp of purple-gold tea mist spread out, drawing the attention of all the disciples in the hall.

"This is... the Primordial Enlightenment Tea!"

"A legendary treasure formed from the primordial spiritual root, capable of permanently enhancing comprehension and nourishing the primordial spirit!"

"Senior Brother Fang Yang has such a fortuitous opportunity!"

Within the Jie Sect, there were still discerning individuals. The senior disciples had all received some Hongmeng Enlightenment Tea from the Tongtian Sect Leader, and the Seven Immortals of Penglai had the good fortune to witness Daoist Duobao tasting the tea.

They were all shocked to see that Fang Yang could produce such a treasure.

The Tongtian Sect Leader had long since finished the Primordial Enlightenment Tea; he drank some himself, gave some to his disciples, and shared some with visiting Daoists. Therefore, it was impossible for Fang Yang to obtain it from the Tongtian Sect Leader.

The immortals couldn't understand where Fang Yang had obtained the Primordial Enlightenment Tea.

The immortals were unaware, but the Tongtian Sect Leader knew perfectly well. Fang Yang's Primordial Enlightenment Tea was a gift from the Jade Emperor, for Fang Yang was the Jade Emperor's great benefactor.

The Tongtian Sect Leader had no interest in Fang Yang's tea, because to him, the Hongmeng Enlightenment Tea was merely about its taste. In Fang Yang's hands, however, the Hongmeng Enlightenment Tea would become an opportunity.

His own taste was certainly not as good as his disciple's opportunity.

At this moment, Fang Yang had already drunk the Hongmeng Enlightenment Tea in one gulp and began to comprehend the process of Pangu creating the world.

It'll be available tomorrow. The last two books I wrote were quite a struggle. It's been a real struggle for this one to get published. Later, I'll add the stories I didn't finish in the previous book. Originally, this book was written to make up for the regrets of the last one.

Thank you all for your support; it's truly commendable that you've all persevered this long. Thank you!
