Seeking the Flying Sword Path-Chapter 725 - New Heavenly Dao Realm Existence

In the Western Paradise Great World, Amita sat cross-legged under a bodhi tree.

Time here seemed to had come to a halt as no life came to disturb him. Amita had entered a deeper phase of his cultivation on the day Qin Yun underwent his eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation. He isolated himself from the outside world and only the Buddhist Ancestor Gautama could forcefully make contact with him.

Qin Yun had transcended the twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation and gained eternal life.

The Ancestral Fiend had started the second Daoist-Fiend war…

Yet, Buddhist Ancestor Gautama did not disturb Amita to deliver any of this news. After all, the Daoist-Fiend war involved the fiends invading countless Small Worlds. Even if Amita had come out of seclusion, all he could do was send his embodiments to the Small Worlds. At the present, the Dao Ancestors, Buddhist Ancestor, and many mighty figures were sending their embodiments into the Small Worlds to preach the Dao. Having an additional Amita wouldn’t have made much of a difference.

“Creak.”

Amita stretched his back as though he had just awoken. He opened his eyes with a smile.

“The world is like a sea of misery. I have redeemed life in this sea of misery, but only today do I see the actual state of the sea itself.” Amita was overjoyed within. In the past, he often felt that the Heavenly Dao was hazy and indistinct. He always felt he was close but vague, as though he was just short of something. After a true epiphany, he suddenly felt like he had seen the light.

He was no longer stumped by the Heavenly Dao and Myriad Things.

Everything was clear like palm lines.

“This seclusion took more than sixty thousand years.” Amita cast his gaze towards the Three Realms. “My young friend Qin Yun is still alive. It looks like he succeeded in transcending the tribulations. Oh? Countless Small Worlds in the Three Realms have been infiltrated by the fiends?”

Amita did a simple inference.

“This Daoist-Fiend war has already lasted for more than sixty thousand years?” Amita was somewhat astonished. “However, it is restricted only to the Small Worlds. It’s no wonder Gautama didn’t awaken me.”

He stood up and, with a step, crossed through the endless void and arrived at Mt. Numinous in the Heavenly realm.

…

Heavenly realm, Mt. Numinous.

Buddhist Ancestor Gautama was sitting cross-legged on a Merit Gold Lotus when he suddenly sensed something and looked up. He saw Amita cross the void and as he came close, he bowed slightly, “Greetings Buddhist Ancestor.”

“Amita…” Gautama was somewhat astonished as well. From the glow Amita emitted, it contained the creation and annihilation of worlds. He immediately asked, “You have already figured out the profoundness of the Myriad Things?”

“I have finally figured it out through this seclusion,” Amita said with a smile. “I plan on making the breakthrough to the Heavenly Dao realm in Mt. Numinous.”

“It’s truly a matter of great joy that you have figured out the profoundness of the Heavenly Dao and Myriad Things.” Gautama was delighted as he said with a smile, “As such, we will have one more person to deal with the Fiend Ancestor when the time comes. The Fiend Ancestor will have no chance of escaping.”

Amita smiled.

“Make the breakthrough here. I’ll watch over you,” said Gautama.

“Thank you, Buddhist Ancestor.” Amita sat cross-legged by the side and began his breakthrough. The Western Paradise Great World he previously was from was a Great World which prevented Heavenly Dao realm bodies from descending into it. Therefore, to make a breakthrough, he could only choose the cosmos, the Heavenly realm or beyond the Three Realms! In terms of safety, Mt. Numinous in the Heavenly realm was naturally the safest.

Gautama watched with a smile. For the Buddhists to have an additional Heavenly Dao realm, it would make their foundations stronger and deeper.

As Amita broke through, his body began to emit infinite light. Formless might seemed to instantly sweep through the entire Three Realms.

At that moment—

All the mighty figures in the Three Realms sensed this invisible, but infinite, brightness through their perception. It was a light that illuminated the Three Realms!

“Infinite Glow!”

These mighty figures immediately understood what it was.

Amita from the Buddhists had taken that step, reaching the supreme spot of this world.

******

Tenebrous Fiend Abyss.

Fiend Ancestor had been in a good mood. Although the fiends had been at the disadvantage over the past sixty thousand years of the Daoist-Fiend war, his goal had long been achieved.

“In countless Small Worlds, the clash between fiends and the others has resulted in countless cultivators dying. Be it the fiends or the Daoists and Buddhists, many have died. The more dead, the more of their strength returns to the world.” Fiend Ancestor was extremely overjoyed. “I can sense the Three Realms becoming more relaxed. I believe the aversion towards me, forcing us Heavenly Dao realm existences from leaving the Three Realms, will only be delayed.”

The greater the burden the Three Realms experienced, the more damage it received and the weaker it became. At a certain point, it would definitely force the few Heavenly Dao realm existences to leave.

And at present, the burden the Three Realms experienced had been lessened…

“Blood Sea, this is the name list of the recent thousand years?” Fiend Ancestor flipped through the records in a scroll and asked the Patriarch Blood Sea avatar beside him with a smile.

“Yes,” said Patriarch Blood Sea with a nod. “They are fiendish cultivators who have made great contributions.”

“Okay. Reward them as needed. We must not ill treat anyone who has contributed greatly to the war effort.” Fiend Ancestor continued looking at the scroll and his eyes lit up. “Ranked first is Fiend Supremacy Blood Lion. He actually managed to sacrifice all the lives in seven Small Worlds?”

Patriarch Blood Sea nodded and said, “Yes, he is also a cultivator of my sea of blood lineage.”

Sea of blood lineage… Although it was not afraid of sin, to the point of using sin as resources for its cultivation, those with overly weak strength would not dare kill too many mortals. Otherwise, it could turn into Negative Karma Fire that could burn at them. For example, although humans survived on food, how much they ate depended on the size of their stomach. Too much would go beyond sustenance into harmfulness.

Firmament Blood Lion was a ninth firmament Skyfiend who equaled a mighty figure, a cultivator of the sea of blood lineage. Sacrificing all the lives of seven Small World was nearly the limit he could endure. However, to be able to do so despite obstruction from the Daoists and Buddhists was rather astounding.

“This Blood Lion from your lineage has contributed merits in the top three over the past sixty thousand years or so,” said Fiend Ancestor with a smile. “Very good. Pass my order that he is allowed to choose any two ordinary Connate Numinous treasures.”

“Yes,” said Patriarch Blood Sea.

“Blood Sea… I’m also aware of your contributions,” said Fiend Ancestor with a smile. “In the future, I’ll still have to leave the Three Realms. When that happens, the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss will be left to you to watch over. You will also be the lord of the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss.”

“Fiend Ancestor, it’s only right that I do my best for this Daoist-Fiend war,” added Patriarch Blood Sea. “By the way, after Jade Void Palace’s Perfect Sovereign Erlang, Yang Jian broke through to the perfected Great Dao, he also began sending embodiments into the Small Worlds to preach the Dao.”

“Yang Jian?”

Fiend Ancestor snorted. “Back then, I nearly obtained his Divine Eye of Destruction, but unfortunately, Qin Yun spoiled my plans! Yang Jian may have broken through to the perfected Great Dao… but it doesn’t matter. Although he is of the Physical Establishing Sage, he has only broken through recently. He’s still far from the Ancestral Dragon. He won’t be able to influence the Daoist-Fiend war.”

“Yes.” Patriarch Blood Sea nodded.

Yang Jian’s breakthrough was something Patriarch Blood Sea still cared about.

In the future, when the Fiend Ancestor left the Three Realms, he would very likely be the future leader of the fiends. He had nearly succeeded in killing Yang Jian back then. As a perfected Great Dao of the Physical Establishing Sage, Yang Jian had immense combat strength. It was believed that in time to come, he would reach the half-step Heavenly Dao realm.

“Continue the good work. I wish for there to be even more names on the records.” Fiend Ancestor waved his hand and threw the scroll back to Patriarch Blood Sea.

Patriarch Blood Sea caught the scroll and was about to leave.

But suddenly—

Their expressions changed as they turned their heads to the Heavenly realm.

They could sense the light that illuminated the Three Realms in their perception! Although the commotion was not as huge as Qin Yun’s attainment of a Merit Cardinal treasure, this Infinite Glow was far more extraordinary as it blanketed all of the Three Realms.

“Amita has broken through?” Fiend Ancestor’s expression turned nasty.

“The Buddhists’ Amita.” Patriarch Blood Sea was alarmed as well. “Heavenly Dao realm. The Three Realms has another Heavenly Dao realm existence.”

“Hmph!”

However, Fiend Ancestor was extremely vexed.

He originally believed that he would suffer the combined pursuit of the Three Pure Ones, Goddess Nüwa, and Gautama when he left the Three Realms, but now, he realized that he would be under siege by six!

“Oh?”

The frustrated Fiend Ancestor frowned as he sensed the entire Three Realms.

At the Heavenly Dao realm, his sense of the Three Realms was extremely sharp. He could clearly sense that with Amita’s breakthrough to the Heavenly Dao realm happened, the entire Three Realms seemed to be stirred as it began to change rapidly.
