Chapter 575 - 569: Temporary Calm
Mysterious World.
A certain mysterious place.
The World Honored One is making final preparations for enlightenment.
At the moment, half of the World Honored One’s body is glowing with golden light, the other half with black light.
As the Peacock Great Ming King said, the World Honored One did not only cultivate the techniques passed down by the Buddha.
He integrated the Demon Lord’s cultivation techniques into the Buddha’s techniques.
Currently, the World Honored One is half Buddha, half demon.
"Lin Yuan, a truly remarkable one."
"Peacock Great Ming King, equally remarkable!"
"When the day of my enlightenment comes, you will all pay the price!" the World Honored One said through gritted teeth.
The battle at the Silent Sea nearly wiped out the influence of the World Honored One.
The obliteration of his influence didn’t matter much to the World Honored One.
As his enlightenment was imminent, if he succeeded, all creatures in the Mysterious World would become his slaves.
The only thing that pained the World Honored One was the death of his daughter.
She was the only memory he had with the one he loved dearly in the past.
Originally, the World Honored One did not intend to send his Evil Corpse to kill Lin Yuan.
Only after realizing that Lin Yuan had killed his daughter, in a fit of rage, did he dispatch his Evil Corpse to seek revenge on Lin Yuan.
However, he did not expect his Evil Corpse not only failed to kill Lin Yuan but was utterly defeated.
The World Honored One, sensing the changes in his body, murmured to himself, "Soon, forty-nine days at the quickest, three hundred and sixty-five days at the slowest, I will certainly achieve enlightenment."
"On the day I reemerge into this world, I will successfully achieve enlightenment and become the ruler of this realm."
"Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang, I will prove to you all that I, the World Honored One, am no less than you."
After the Mysterious World and the Real World merge into one, it will be the world once controlled by the Human King.
The Human King was no less than the Demon Lord, Buddha, Wa Huang, and Daoist Ancestor; he could even contend with the four of them and drive them out of this world.
The World Honored One believes that if he successfully achieves enlightenment and unites the two worlds into one.
Then he could become a person no less than the Demon Lord, Daoist Ancestor, Wa Huang, and Buddha.
The old man wearing a hemp robe holding the Wa Huang talisman made some agreement with the World Honored One.
Thus, he helped to block the Peacock Great Ming King.
...
...
Meanwhile.
Lin Yuan, after learning about the four Primordial Spirits from Elder Bai and the others, returned to the Real World.
It’s important to know that the four Primordial Spirits aimed to control not only the Mysterious World but also the Real World.
Once they gain control over both worlds, all creatures in both worlds will become their prey.
Moreover, from the current situation, it seems the World Honored One has reached some agreement with those four Primordial Spirits.
Lin Yuan must quickly return to the Real World and inform the dean about this.
Aside from the matter of the four Primordial Spirits, Lin Yuan’s own injuries also require the dean’s help.
Though his injuries are not deteriorating further,
they have also not healed.
With such injuries, he cannot utilize his full strength.
If he were to face the World Honored One now, Lin Yuan would have no power to fight back.
After Lin Yuan left, Elder Bai and the others began to eradicate the remaining forces of the World Honored One.
Currently, it appears that the World Honored One is at a disadvantage.
There are few who offer help in times of need, but never a shortage of those who kick someone when they’re down.
Especially now, with the World Honored One at a disadvantage, the alliance between Elder Bai and the Peacock Great Ming King gives hidden old beings hope to overturn the World Honored One’s rule.
As a result, more and more people began to act against the remnants of the World Honored One Sect, cruelly stomping on the fallen.
The World Honored One’s sect is nearly annihilated, that once-dominant sect in the Mysterious World has been wiped out overnight.
Many of the old beings hidden in the shadows have now emerged, seeking to connect with Elder Bai and the Peacock Great Ming King, hoping to join their ranks to prevent the World Honored One from achieving enlightenment.
As a whale falls, life arises; now it seems the colossal whale of the World Honored One is about to fall, and everyone wants a share of the spoils.
These ancient beings finally emerged, and Elder Bai did not refuse them.
Currently, it appears on the surface that the World Honored One is indeed at a disadvantage.
However, the wise Elder Bai had already realized this was not so.
Despite the fall of his sect and the death of his daughter, the World Honored One has refrained from acting.
What does this indicate? It shows that the World Honored One is engaged in more important matters.
What could be more important than these two things?
Undoubtedly, it’s achieving enlightenment.
Elder Bai knows that although they seem to have the upper hand, in reality, the World Honored One could counterattack at any moment.
The World Honored One, when he makes his move, will certainly shake the heavens and earth.
Therefore, Elder Bai did not reject these fair-weather allies but rather prepared to form a larger Anti-Buddha Alliance.
To truly strike down the World Honored One, a stronger, more resilient force is needed.
...
...
Lin Yuan returned to the Real World, which he hadn’t seen for a long time, and it had undergone drastic changes.
Because of the emergence of the Gourmand, the demons and monsters that originally roamed everywhere were nearly all devoured by the Gourmand.
Now, there are very few demons and monsters left in the entire Real World.
Of course, there are also fewer people.
The populations of countries like Eagle Sauce (America) and Bear Country are now less than one percent of what they were.
Countries like Sakura (Japan) and Stick (Korea) are almost completely wiped out.
Now, the entire Real World has become the backyard of Dragon Country.
Because all competitors were purged by the Gourmand, and the Gourmand transformed into the Twenty-Eight Celestial Kings who fell in the Silent Sea battle.
This means the Real World has been cleansed.
Now, the surviving Life Pattern Masters of Dragon Country see their cultivation speed soaring.
The most astonishing thing is that the Totem Visualization Method, created by the dean, was extremely difficult to cultivate.
Very few could cultivate the Totem Visualization Method to a profound level.
For a long time, Dragon Country’s main combat power relied on the Life Pattern Masters with tattoo abilities.
Yet now, as time passes, the newborns of Dragon Country are exceptionally suited to cultivating the Totem Visualization Method.
The cultivation speed of these newborns is astonishing.
They accomplish in one day of training what surviving members of Dragon Country do in a month.
This difference in cultivation speed is akin to the disparity portrayed in cultivation novels between those with and without spiritual roots.
If spiritual roots were used as an analogy, all newborns in Dragon Country have the spiritual root to cultivate the Totem Visualization Method.
At this point, the survivors of Dragon Country finally no longer need to stay in the Giant City all day.
Some powerful Life Pattern Masters have begun to leave the protection of the Giant City and venture into the wilderness in search of opportunities.
The endless wilderness outside the Giant City holds unimaginably great opportunities.
