Chapter 539 Buddha Kassapa: Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, You Must Be Destined To Be A
Chapter 539: Gautama Buddha: Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, when you have a connection with my Buddhist sect!
At this moment, not only Su Mingqian had such thoughts, but the remaining Qi and Li clans, as well as the clan masters of the Yuan clan, all had the same idea.
In a situation where there was no hope in sight, giving up one's foundation and preserving one's life was a natural thought. There was great terror between life and death, ultimately, cultivators were the most afraid of death.
There were cultivators who were willing to sacrifice everything for their own foundation, but most of them did not include these big figures who were at the core of power, because they generally had no integrity.
Su Mingqian knew very well that ever since the national treasury of the Divine Dynasty was mysteriously looted several years ago, these secret escapes had sporadically appeared, and now they were becoming more and more intense, reaching an uncontrollable level.
With people's hearts scattered, could this foundation still be preserved?
Su Mingqian subconsciously thought of the several escape routes he had secretly planned. As long as he put them into action, he could bring along his abundant private property and leave with his concubines and mistresses, and still have a luxurious life with thousands of wealthy and noble people in the future.
However, when it came to the critical moment, Su Mingqian still hesitated a bit. He had taken over this huge foundation from his father, and originally had the ambition to unify the Dragon Spring Great World, but now... did he have to become a deserter? How would the billions of subjects of the Divine Dynasty view him?
If he had known it would end up like this, he might as well not have accepted the position of Divine Emperor back then!
Su Mingqian sighed with a troubled expression, put down the jade slip in his hand, and was about to get up and rest for a while when a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.
Strange fluctuations of Dao Rhyme, which he didn't know where they came from, instantly spread throughout the capital of the Divine Dynasty, including the imperial city and the inner palace.
"What's going on?"
Su Mingqian's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.
A eunuch chamberlain hurriedly walked in, his face pale, and after saluting, he reported, "Your Majesty, the news that has just been confirmed is that the head of the Meng clan secretly held a grand sacrificial ceremony, secretly communicating with the will of the Heavenly Dao in this realm, attempting to request the Heavenly Dao to confer the title of Sub-Saint..."
"This is outrageous!"
Su Mingqian suddenly became furious, his fair complexion turning red. "They are not the masters of this realm, so how dare they request the Heavenly Dao to confer the title of Sub-Saint? It's simply... simply audacious! How dare they?"
"But, but..."
The Chief Eunuch hung his head low and nodded repeatedly, saying, "They have succeeded! Just now... both of the Yasheng have found their masters. It is that person, Meng Xuehuan, and her daughter, Meng Ziqing..."
"Idiots, they are all idiots..." Su Mingqian trembled with anger, grabbing the Qilin paperweight on the desk and throwing it at the Chief Eunuch. The Chief Eunuch cowered on the ground, trembling in fear, while the palace maids and eunuchs around him all knelt down, not daring to make a sound.
The position of a Yasheng in the Great World is more significant than the unification of a secular dynasty or the ascension of a new emperor, by a thousand times or more. It is the highest authority that is on par with the heavens and the earth, shining as brightly as the sun and the moon.
As long as the Great World exists, the Yasheng will not perish. Moreover, within the Great World and the chaotic void surrounding it, the Yasheng are considered to be invincible, possessing a tremendous Divine Ability. Top-tier external powers would never dare to attack them recklessly.
In short, both Yasheng positions have been taken by the Meng Clan, which means that this clan now has the legitimacy to rule this realm. All other forces can only bow down and submit, with no possibility of resistance.
After venting his anger, Su Mingqian's emotions finally calmed down a bit. He looked at the Chief Eunuch still kneeling on the ground and gritted his teeth, asking, "How did they manage to do it? The Meng Clan doesn't even have control over the entire Great World. How could they obtain the recognition and appointment from the heavens? And they even appointed two at once? Does that mean that the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty's power and prestige are inferior to theirs?"
The Chief Eunuch remained silent.
No one can answer this question. In theory, Su Mingqian's view is correct. The reason why there were no Yasheng in the previous Dragon Spring Great World was due to the mutual restraint of the five major powers.
The Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty, which was once the strongest, had also considered offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for the appointment of the Divine Emperor as a Yasheng. If they succeeded, the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty would have been able to unify the entire Dragon Spring Great World in a logical manner.
Unfortunately, their plan never succeeded. After all, the remaining four clans understood the significance of the Yasheng position and would never allow the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty to succeed.
However, now the Meng Clan has obtained the recognition of the heavenly will of this realm through unknown and mysterious means, gaining the authority of two Yasheng positions against all odds. This means that the ruling power of this realm has been established, and the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty and the remaining three clans have no chance left.
Even the four peak powers, who are already in a weakened state, cannot contend against the Meng Clan with two Yasheng. If they fail to see the situation clearly, their fate will undoubtedly be even more tragic.
"...Enough, gather the elders of the royal family and hold a meeting in the palace!"
Having figured out everything, Su Mingqian whispered his orders. At this moment, he was already disheartened, and all his ambitions had turned into smoke. He only wanted to exit gracefully.
After a while, hundreds of core figures of the Divine Dynasty gathered together, their faces gloomy and silent.
By now, everyone already knew the truth of the matter and understood that it was too late to do anything.
Speaking bluntly, they are now like meat on a chopping board, only waiting to be slaughtered.
"... Your Highness, could it be that the mysterious curse is something the Meng Clan secretly created?" Princess Su Mingyu said with a cold expression, her beautiful face as cold as frost.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the high-ranking officials changed. Previously, due to the fall of many powerful individuals from the Meng Clan, no one had thought in this direction. They had all believed that it was the mysterious enemy behind the scenes targeting the entire Dragon Spring Great World.
But now, seeing the Meng Clan secretly succeed in their sacrificial ceremony, successfully seizing two precious quasi-saint positions, and establishing an unshakable strategic advantage, the unification of the entire Great World was within reach. Everyone suddenly came to their senses.
Perhaps the Meng Clan themselves were unlikely to possess such heaven-defying means, but it couldn't be ruled out that they had colluded with the mysterious enemy in secret. This was why so many high-ranking officials had fallen, and now it was finally the moment of truth.
Su Mingqian remained silent for a long time, sighing helplessly. "Even if we understand it now, what can we do to them? The high-end strategic forces of the Divine Dynasty have been greatly depleted, and we no longer have the capital to engage in an all-out war with them. Even if we unite with the other factions, there is no chance of victory."
At this point, the high-ranking officials of the Divine Dynasty finally understood the truth, but unfortunately, they understood it too late.
"Your Majesty, what should our Divine Dynasty do now...?" asked an elder of the royal family slowly.
Su Mingqian's face changed constantly, finally turning into a sigh. "Either surrender as a family or give up our foundation and flee to a foreign land. Let's discuss it together."
The people couldn't help but look at each other, remaining silent for a while.
The hall fell into a strange silence.
Neither of these two choices was good, but at this moment, there was no third suitable option to consider.
After a long time, one elder spoke softly, "It's impossible for all of our people to leave, but surrendering by leaving some elite descendants of the Su family to hide and develop in the depths of the chaotic void, accumulating strength, while the rest of the clan stays in this realm, expressing unconditional submission to the Meng Clan and enduring humiliation, waiting for the right opportunity."
The scene fell silent for a few moments, and Su Mingyu, with an angry expression, suddenly stood up as if to rebuke the elder's words, but the words stopped at her lips.
She was not unreasonable. In the current situation, the Divine Dynasty really had no better choice. If they stubbornly fought to the end with the Meng Clan, the result would only be the annihilation of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty, and all members of the royal family would be slaughtered, with no one able to escape.
Su Mingqian remained silent for a moment, his voice tinged with imperceptible pain. "Uncle Seven's words make sense. Let's settle it this way! In order to ensure the continuation of our Su family's lineage, we can only endure any grievances and sufferings, no matter how great they may be!"
"I hope our future generations can understand our difficulties and not resent us because of this."
At this critical moment, Su Mingqian finally showed the courage and responsibility befitting the ruler of the Divine Dynasty, deciding the path for the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty.
At the same time, the high-ranking officials of the Qi Clan, Li Clan, and Yuan Clan made similar decisions.
...
Meng Clan headquarters.
In the boudoir of Meng Xuehuan, Qin Muling, who had just finished intense exercise, was relaxing in a hot spring bath, enjoying the attentive service of many beautiful clan women.
"... Junior Brother, being served by quasi-saints feels good, doesn't it?" Meng Xuehuan, with her snowy and beautiful body, gently embraced him, feeding him a few spiritual fruits with her alluring and melodious voice.
"It's indeed quite good!" Qin Muling smiled. Although he had obtained the power of a quasi-saint, this senior sister did not become arrogant because of it. She still took care of him attentively and considerately.
Moreover, the pleasure brought by the two newly born quasi-saints competing in bed together... it was truly indescribable.
"In the coming period of time, you will have to seclude yourself and gradually control the power of the quasi-saint, right?" Qin Muling thought for a moment and asked. The power of a quasi-saint was different from ordinary cultivators and required some time to adapt to.
"Yes, that's right. But it won't affect us serving you, Junior Brother!" Meng Ziqing, with her blushing face and beautiful eyes, smiled softly. Her voluptuous and slender body leaned over, joining Meng Xuan and Qin Yuxing, and they took turns massaging his legs.
"That's fine. Originally, I planned to go and heal those elders first."
Qin Muling took a few bites of the tender and refreshing snowberries and continued speaking.
Meng Xuehuan blushed with joy and embarrassment. "Nothing is more important than practicing with Junior Brother! As for healing them, we can wait."
Anyway, the elders with the most severe injuries and worst conditions have already been prioritized for treatment and recovery by Qin Muling. The remaining elders, although most of them are in poor condition, can still wait.
Qin Muling nodded and continued asking, "By the way, how are the recent movements of those few families? They should have realized it by now, right?"
No matter how brilliant the method of concealing the Heavenly Machine Screen is, it can only deceive for a while, not forever. Moreover, after the authority of the Semi-Saint is established, the peculiar fluctuations of the Dao Rhyme in the world cannot be concealed.
Meng Xuehuan smiled and said, "Of course, they understand it now. But for them, it is actually the most painful thing because they don't have time to do anything! Besides accepting the facts, they have no other choice."
"Indeed, are they planning to submit to the Meng Clan? Or... abandon their foundation and run away?"
Qin Muling asked with a slight interest.
Apart from these two options, the four forces have no other choices. It is impossible for them to break free from the net. The consequence of overestimating their abilities is that their bloodline heritage will be uprooted and completely destroyed.
Meng Xuehuan gently caressed Qin Muling's face with her smooth jade hand, her beautiful eyes filled with an unbreakable tenderness and affection, and she softly said,
"According to the information passed on by insiders, that Divine Emperor Su Mingqian is indeed secretly preparing to escape to the depths of the chaotic void. The remaining three families are the same."
"However, besides those who have already fled or are preparing to flee, there are still many people within the four forces who want to stay and guard their foundation."
"Well, they have already sent envoys to request unconditional submission, willing to serve the Meng Clan as their master and never betray for generations to come."
"An expected choice."
Qin Muling nodded and said, at critical moments, it is common practice for major forces to divide their bets and not put all their eggs in one basket.
"So... Junior Brother, what do you think we should reply to them? Should we accept or reject?"
With eyes like autumn water and a blushing face like rosy clouds, Meng Xuan stood up straight, swallowed hard, and asked softly.
Qin Muling said, "It depends on how you consider it. If you want to unify this realm as soon as possible, then use some gentle means. If you want to eliminate any future troubles, then kill them all without hesitation."
Meng Xuehuan thought for a moment and said, "Then let's accept it. Let them register and transfer all their territories and industries unconditionally to our Meng clan. From now on, we will have the final say in all matters, big or small!"
This is not an act of benevolence on her part, but rather, in the face of absolute power advantage, all conspiracies and tricks are meaningless. As long as she has the authority of a quasi-saint in her hands, these outdated forces will never be able to stir up any waves.
The matter was settled like this. The next morning, Meng Xuehuan, on behalf of the high-level members of the Meng clan, received the envoys of these four forces in the council hall.
On the high platform, Meng Xuehuan, dressed in splendid attire, sat upright and watched as the envoys of the four forces entered with jade seals, golden registers, and various gifts, respectfully bowing and paying their respects, showing the etiquette of subjects.
"Eh? Why is it you?"
Meng Ziqing, who was sitting beside her, asked in surprise. It turned out that the envoy of the Nine Flowers Divine Dynasty was none other than the former princess, Su Mingyu.
This woman, who used to like wearing men's clothing, smiled humbly and said, "Sister, I hope you have been well. As a traitor of a fallen country, I dare not speak of any plans. I will rely on your care in the future."
Meng Ziqing snorted, "Care? Of course, I will take good care of you!"
For example, she could send this arrogant and conceited woman as a slave to her junior martial brother, and the most despicable kind at that. Then she could humiliate and torment her every day, and see if she still dares to carry herself with a princess's air in front of her.
But at this moment, Qin Muling did not appear. Instead, he went to the Grotto-Heaven secret realm to heal and restore the elders.
His current appearance should not be seen by outsiders casually, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
...
The news of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus appearing in the Hidden Mist Great World has spread throughout countless small and large worlds in the depths of the chaotic void after a period of fermentation.
Upon learning of this, the first reaction of those big figures was suspicion. After all, there have been too many similar rumors in the past, which led to various major forces competing to take action, but in the end, all of them were proven to be false.
However, as more information gradually emerged, especially with the endorsement of the will of the Heavenly Dao in the Hidden Mist Great World, there was finally no one who doubted the authenticity of the news.
So the question arises, since the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus has taken human form and has many powerful female cultivators from the human race as companions, which ancient higher Great World did it manage to seize the opportunity first?
There was a lot of speculation and various opinions at once, and various forces launched their own intelligence efforts to probe this matter, especially the ancient worlds where there were a large number of powerful female cultivators, which became the primary suspects.
In response to this, several Transcendent Level forces composed entirely of female cultivators or primarily female cultivators had to publicly declare that their disciples had not encountered the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus, let alone become Dao companions with it, and they hoped that fellow Daoists would not misunderstand.
In the depths of the chaotic void, the Thunderous Great World.
A golden Buddhist light enveloped the vast sky, and the faint sound of chanting echoed in the sky. On the vast land, Buddhist pagodas, temples, statues, caves, and scenes of Buddhist light could be seen everywhere.
In the core area of the Great World, the sound of chanting lingered, and the Buddhist light was brilliant. Large lotus flowers the size of a fight fell from the sky, exuding a fragrant aroma.
In the Thunderous Monastery's main hall, the bright Buddhist light illuminated countless Buddha statues, arhats, bodhisattvas, and celestial maidens, and their Law Manifestations appeared and disappeared.
At the end of the hall, seated on a Twelfth Grade precious lotus platform, the venerable Kasyapa Buddha, with a dignified appearance and majestic demeanor, stopped preaching and asked in a slow voice, "Has this legendary World Creating Azure Lotus really descended? And has it already taken human form and walked in the mortal world? This is a great opportunity bestowed upon our Buddhist lineage by the heavens. We must quickly guide them to our Pure Land and enjoy the boundless pure and blissful world!"
There was silence below, and after a while, a beautiful celestial bodhisattva in a snow-white robe, graceful figure, and enchanting beauty stepped forward and respectfully reported in a soft voice, "What the Buddha said is correct. This supreme opportunity is related to the attainment of enlightenment and eternal liberation. It should indeed not be obtained by other sects!"
"However, we currently do not have any further information to confirm the whereabouts of the World Creating Azure Lotus in human form. Since that day, it has disappeared, and all attempts to deduce its whereabouts using divine abilities have been futile!"
During this period of time, many top experts relied on their powerful divine abilities to forcibly deduce the secrets related to the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus. Needless to say, the results were all disastrous and fruitless.
After experiencing many bloody lessons, no one dared to try casually anymore. However, everyone's burning ambition for the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus had not diminished in the slightest.
The venerable Kasyapa Buddha pondered and said, "This matter is indeed difficult, but... since no sect has obtained any information about its whereabouts, our Buddhist lineage still has a good chance."
"How about... let the celestial maidens collectively take action? Select thirty million celestial maidens with outstanding appearance and profound cultivation, and send them out in batches to investigate its traces."
"Yes, disciple will follow the order!"
The celestial bodhisattva folded her hands together and said respectfully.
The numerous Buddhas and Arhats beside them, as well as the Bodhisattvas, seemed to be lost in thought. Since the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus already has many exceptional partners, it should be easy for the Thunderous Sound Great World to capture its attention, provided they can find its whereabouts.
"Go then, do it properly! The transformed body of the Innate Primordial Good Fortune Azure Lotus is destined to have a connection with our Buddhist sect!" said the venerable Kassapa Buddha.
The surrounding Buddhas and venerable ones echoed in unison. As one of the most powerful Buddhist forces in the depths of the chaotic void, the Thunderous Sound Great World had the confidence to say such words.
...
Jade Incense Great World.
This is a world full of blooming flowers and breathtaking scenery. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is as dense as mist, and various rare resources and treasures abound. The sound of the Great Dao resonates in the sky, and the rich aura of Spirit Inspiring Dao Rhyme fills almost every corner.
On the mountaintops, by the plains and lakes, in the depths of secluded valleys and elegant mountain temples, one can see groups of beautiful women gathered together. They discuss tea and the Dao, contemplate profound mysteries, practice swordsmanship, and refine pills in furnaces.
As one of the first Great Worlds born in the depths of the chaotic void, the ancient and mysterious Jade Incense Great World, its undeniable power, and countless exceptional female cultivators are the reasons why billions of cultivators yearn for it.
This is the ultimate source of power for all female cultivation forces in the boundless chaotic void, with no beginning or end. Only female cultivators inhabit its territory, and male cultivators from outside are prohibited from entering at will.
As an ancient Great World of Earth Level High Grade, Jade Incense Great World has nine quasi-saints presiding over it, and countless powerful female cultivators who have achieved Unified Harmony, severed their Three Corpses, and incarnated. The scale of the entire world is nearly ten thousand times that of those Profound Level High Grade Great Worlds.
At this moment, in a brightly lit embroidered building in the central area of the world, nine beautiful figures shrouded in hazy and ethereal radiance sat quietly, discussing the major events that have occurred in the chaotic void recently.
"...Those old fools from the Daoist sect are completely unreasonable. They actually believe that our Jade Incense Great World obtained the transformed body of the World Creating Azure Lotus? And they even want to come and question us!" a crisp and gentle voice said indignantly.
"Hmph! Those old things always jump to conclusions without any evidence. How can they just pin everything on us? They want to take advantage of us!" another voice said.
"You're right. Even those old bald donkeys from the Buddhist realm, the Beast Race of the Demon Gate, and the Divine Race of the Ghost Domain... none of them are quiet. Recently, they've all gone mad, and even some ancient relics that have experienced countless tribulations have emerged!" someone else said.
"There's nothing we can do. The World Creating Azure Lotus is just too important. Ah! If it were truly discovered and obtained by the female cultivators of our Jade Incense Great World, it would actually be a good thing! But unfortunately..."
