Chapter 780 - 774: Appearing to Forge Incarnations, Yet Actually Cultivating People
Great Burial Heaven Temple.
Wa Huang arrived at the Great Burial Heaven Temple to find Buddha and Demon Lord both looking utterly defeated.
Buddha and Demon Lord have been struggling for over half a month with no progress, and by this time, they’ve completely lost their confidence.
Right now, their only hope lies with Wa Huang.
Wa Huang is proficient in magic concerning the seven emotions and six desires; Buddha believes that their inability to refine the World Honored Dao Fruit into a replica is because of the lack of these emotions and desires.
Because the replica Buddha wants to create is the one closest to a human form.
Only if this replica resembles a human can it integrate into Heaven and Earth without being detected by the Yin Celestial Son.
And humans possess seven emotions and six desires, Buddha wants to use Wa Huang’s magic to supplement these into the replica.
Wa Huang felt a deep sense of satisfaction seeing their defeated expressions.
These two bastards actually schemed against her.
They wanted to reap the rewards behind her back, but in the end, they still had to turn to Wa Huang for help.
"Wa Huang, you’re here!" Buddha’s face eased into a relaxed expression upon seeing Wa Huang.
Buddha had already written out his problems; Wa Huang’s presence indicated she was willing to help them.
In Buddha’s perspective, once they got Wa Huang’s assistance, imbuing the replica with seven emotions and six desires, they would inevitably succeed.
"Have the two of you invited me here this time for me to appreciate your Dao Fruit replicas?"
"Seems I should properly congratulate the two of you!" Wa Huang said with a chuckle.
Though Wa Huang’s words expressed congratulations, her tone dripped with sarcasm.
Buddha had plainly outlined the issue in his letter, and Wa Huang was intentionally mocking them with her feigned ignorance.
"Wa Huang, don’t go overboard!" Demon Lord said, feeling disgruntled.
They had been researching the World Honored Dao Fruit for over half a month, never cracking its secrets.
Not only was their effort wasted, but they also had to lower themselves to seek Wa Huang’s aid.
Demon Lord was already annoyed, and being mocked by Wa Huang made him even angrier.
"How about it, if I do go overboard, what can you do?"
"If you have the guts, throw me out?" Wa Huang teased.
Wa Huang has always been at odds with Demon Lord, finally seizing this chance, she wasn’t about to let it slip.
Could Demon Lord actually dare to drive Wa Huang away?
Buddha had gone through great lengths to invite her—driving her away would mean wasted effort.
Buddha noticed they were going to quarrel again and understood they were at her mercy.
Since they needed Wa Huang’s help now, naturally, they had to lower their stance.
Buddha grabbed Demon Lord, speaking to Wa Huang, "Wa Huang, it was my fault earlier, don’t hold a grudge."
"I and Demon Lord are willing to make an oath that once we succeed in refining the Dao Fruit replica, all the power of faith gained will be split equally among the three of us."
"Wa Huang, you don’t have to do anything, just help us this once, and you can receive your share of faith power. This deal is very profitable."
Wa Huang already knew this deal was lucrative.
If this deal weren’t profitable, Wa Huang wouldn’t have come.
The fact that Wa Huang is here means she has agreed to Buddha’s proposal.
However, having found a good opportunity, naturally, she wanted to humiliate Demon Lord and Buddha to repay their earlier schemes against her.
Buddha was quick to adapt, softening immediately upon seeing Wa Huang.
But Demon Lord seemed unable to distinguish between the major and the minor intricacies!
Wa Huang pointed at Demon Lord, saying to Buddha, "His attitude isn’t good. Have him apologize to me!"
Demon Lord: "???"
"Dream on, I’d rather die than apologize to you..." Before Demon Lord could finish, Buddha looked at him.
"Demon Lord, endure it now for peace later, take a step back for broader horizons."
"You’re a man, don’t stoop to argue with a woman." Buddha secretly sent a message to Demon Lord.
"Hmph!" Demon Lord grunted, reluctantly sending a reply back, "Woman?"
"She’s tens of thousands of years old and still a woman."
"Have you ever seen a tens of thousands of years old woman?"
Buddha was rendered speechless by Demon Lord, stuck in the conflict and feeling trapped.
"Demon Lord, we’re just one step away from creating the Dao Fruit replica."
"Do you still want the Dao Fruit replica?" Buddha posed a penetrating inquiry.
The Dao Fruit replica is important.
Or is face more important?
Without a doubt, it’s the former.
Demon Lord, resigned, forced himself to apologize to Wa Huang, "Wa Huang, you’re magnanimous, don’t hold grudges with a petty person like me."
"Hmph!" Wa Huang snorted, raising her head with pride, "That’s more like it!"
"Seeking help requires the proper attitude."
As Wa Huang basked in her triumph, Demon Lord muttered inwardly, "I curse you, may you be plagued by your most hated..."
"Wa Huang, can you assist us now?" Buddha asked.
Wa Huang nodded, answering, "Of course, since I’m here, I’m naturally willing to help."
Upon receiving Wa Huang’s affirmative response, Buddha waved his hand, and two World Honored Dao Fruits appeared before them.
Stepping forward to examine the Dao Fruits, Wa Huang chuckled, "Just these two little things, and you two dignified Tier One experts can’t handle them?"
"Stop boasting, only if Wa Huang can handle them!" Demon Lord retorted.
Buddha interrupted the impending quarrel, speaking to Wa Huang, "We are different from humans; humans have good and evil, humans have seven emotions and six desires."
"As everyone knows, the method of Possession Corpse Enlightenment is best suited to humans."
"Humans can sever the Good and Evil Corpse, humans with emotions and desires have obsessions, thus they can sever the Possession Corpse."
"Rather than merely crafting a replica, it’s more about creating living beings."
"To refine the World Honored Dao Fruit into human form, bypassing Heaven and Earth’s sensing, avoiding Yin Celestial Son’s notice, they need good, evil, emotions, and desires simultaneously."
"The magic formulas we possess only account for good and evil, lacking the emotions and desires."
"Thus, I believe with your help, the three of us combined can surely transform these two World Honored Dao Fruits into living people."
This is why Buddha would rather doubt his own capability than suspect the World Honored Dao Fruit is flawed.
Buddha’s meticulous planning was backed by thorough consideration.
Buddha could foresee five hundred years into the past and future, showcasing his powerful deduction abilities.
Before obtaining the World Honored Dao Fruit, Buddha had performed countless predictions.
He believes once he gets the World Honored Dao Fruit, his plan will surely succeed.
Three people, two World Honored Dao Fruits.
It’s a quintessential example of two peaches killing three warriors.
Difficult to split!
Therefore, Buddha tried using the World Honored Dao Fruit to craft two entities void of emotions and desires.
It proved that without emotions and desires, success was unattainable.
Hence, he could only invite Wa Huang for assistance.
