The Primordial Devil smiled faintly, "What's the matter, Daoist Dipankara, feel free to speak your mind."
"I wish to exchange this item for a promise from the Nine Underworlds." A green lotus appeared on the Dipankara Ancient Buddha's palm, "I wonder if the Nine Underworlds are interested?"
The Primordial Heart Devil said, "It seems like Amitabha has agreed to it. If that's the case, I'm naturally willing."
"Then, I'll contact you later," said the Dipankara Ancient Buddha with a smile.
The Primordial Heart Devil's image in front of him gradually dispersed. The colorful mist also disappeared, and the lights within the perfect Buddha radiance returned to normal.
The Dipankara Ancient Buddha stood up from the void. His figure was erratic, as if he resided in all time and space. Even the vast void seemed to have lost the concept of distance in front of him.
After a short while, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha's figure suddenly stabilized and appeared in another universe.
The dark void in front of him suddenly emitted a bright radiance, and a Buddhist bigwig appeared from within. The Buddha radiance around him was pure gold, and the radiance of white flames circulated around him, illuminating the surrounding universe like a Buddhist land of light.
"Greetings, Ancient Buddha." The Dipankara Ancient Buddha bowed, and the Dipankara Ancient Buddha put his palms together and bowed back, "Greetings, Bodhisattva."
This Buddhist Bhante was the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva. Together with the Bodhisattva Guanyin, they were known as the Three Sages of the West. He was one of the few Buddhist bigwigs in the Western Pure Lands.
He used his unique light of wisdom to illuminate all living beings in the world, allowing them to escape from the calamity of blood and weapons, obtaining supreme power and might. Hence, the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva was known as the number one in light and wisdom.
Although his title was Bodhisattva, he was the same as the Bodhisattva Guanyin and the Dipankara Ancient Buddha. They were all bigwigs who had attained enlightenment and ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm.
"Did the Buddha grant you an incarnation?" asked the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.
"That's right." The Dipankara Ancient Buddha answered, "I've also seen the Primordial Heart Devil."
The Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva nodded, "The Three Clear Lineage has made some movements. It was led by Daoist South Pole, who brought people to the void and discovered an ancient ruin."
"Fellow Daoist South Pole?" Dipankara Ancient Buddha was deep in thought.
Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva smiled, "After inspecting the ruins, it seems like they're looking for the Jade Virtual Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag."
The ancient Dipankara Buddha could not help but laugh.
The Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag was a treasure of the Hollow Jade Temple in the past. It was impenetrable to all techniques and was impervious to all evil. Its defensive strength was one of the few treasures in the entire history of the Daoist Sects.
During the great war of the ancient Investiture of the Gods, it had even blocked Mahamayuri's Five-colored Divine Light.
Since the ancient era, there were different opinions about its whereabouts. Some people thought that it was still hidden in the Jade Mirage Palace, some thought that it had disappeared without a trace, and some thought that it had been taken away by the Heavenly Primogenitor who had transcended.
In short, this treasure had been lost since ancient times.
If they could be found again, it would indeed be very eye-catching.
Compared to the Western Pure Lands, the Astro Mountains Starry Seas might value this treasure more.
If the Demon Race could obtain the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, then their previous predicament of being unable to do anything to Mahamayuri would no longer exist.
From this aspect, if he could snatch the Western Pure Lands, even if he didn't use it, he would still be able to maintain the deterrence of Mahamayuri, and the demon race would be helpless against him.
However, compared to the Immortal Execution Formation, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag was clearly inferior.
It was obviously a joke to say that Yan Zhaoge and the others had wholeheartedly searched for the Yin Yang Apricot Yellow Flag and neglected the final sword of the Immortal Exterminating Four Swords, as well as the possibility of the Immortal Exterminating Formation reappearing.
Without a doubt, this was a smokescreen set up by the orthodox Daoism.
Moreover, it was not a very clever camouflage.
He must have a follow-up plan, or he would be a laughing stock.
Even if the Western Pure Lands and the Immortal Court laid a trap for the orthodox Daoism to jump into, they wouldn't pretend to believe in such a smokescreen.
That would seem too urgent and there would definitely be a trap. Instead, it would alarm the people from the Dao Sect.
"I'll meet up with Great Roc Wisdom King and the others and continue searching for the Pill Hall. I'll give them some pressure." Dipankara Ancient Buddha said.
Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva nodded and said, "I'll pay a visit to Daoist South Pole and see what they plan to do."
"Good, thank you, Bodhisattva." Dipankara Ancient Buddha put his palms together.
The two mighty figures of the Buddhist sects then left.
…
"Thank you, Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor. Thank you, Daoist Gao."
While traversing through the void, Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands towards the empty cosmos above his head. Yan Di did the same beside him.
Within the cosmos, the sound of thunder seemed to be faintly discernible. However, no lightning flashes could be seen. It was as if the sound of thunder by Yan Zhaoge's ears was merely an illusion.
Although the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha had fought for nearly a hundred years for the Humanly Essence Stone's fragment, they were still fighting against each other and couldn't be bothered with other matters.
However, the Amitabha Buddha and the Eastern Sovereign Taiyi still maintained a certain level of restraint.
While the two sides were suppressing each other, they were also threatening the Daoism and the Nine Underworlds' Grand Heavenly Realm experts.
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the other Daoism Heavenly Lords still had to be careful with their actions, and they often hid within the void.
The white-clothed Gao Han was travelling with Yan Zhaoge and the others. He smiled and said, "Daoist Yan, you don't have to be so courteous. Now is a crucial moment for the orthodox Daoism's glory. It's my duty to help."
"No matter what, I still have to thank the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and Daoist Gao." Yan Zhaoge said, "The enemy's influence is too great. Success or failure hinges on this one move. As long as we have more strength, we would have more chances of winning."
Gao Han smiled faintly, "You're right."
His gaze swept past Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, and he praised, "Young Heavenly Lord, Heaven Trampling Lord. Both of you are truly worthy of your title."
When Yan Di became the Broad Creed Mountain's Chief, he was given the title "Heaven Trampling Lord" due to the ancestral rules.
Just like how only True Immortals could be called Emperors, and only Profound Immortals could be called Sovereigns, the title of Heavenly Lord was also very particular. It was a title only Grand Virtual Immortals could give.
Especially when Yan Di was given the title "Heaven Trampling Lord". To a certain extent, it was even more of a taboo than Yan Zhaoge's title of "Young Heavenly Lord".
Only, in the Eight Extremity Worlds' lower realms, not many people took it seriously. Most of them treated it as a joke.
However, after coming to the World beyond Worlds and establishing the Sky beyond Skies, this title became even more eye-catching.
Because of the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei's guidance, and the Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang's endorsement, Yan Di had been progressing smoothly, everyone gradually acknowledged it.
Now that Yan Di had ascended to the Five Qis Unification Realm in such a short period of time, he was practically the youngest Virtual Immortal in history. It seemed to have proven that he was capable enough to bear this title.
Only, more achievements were needed to prove it.
Yan Di said quietly, "In the past, I was known to be reckless in the Eight Extremity Worlds. I apologize for that, Daoist Gao."
"I have to thank Daoist Gao for giving me this title in the past." Yan Zhaoge chuckled.
Gao Han smiled as well, "I've always been filled with expectations for Daoist Yan. This time, it's an unprecedented feat of our Daoism after the Great Calamity …"
His voice stopped, and his gaze flickered slightly.
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di also looked forward.
Suddenly, a devilish wind and Buddha light appeared together.
Gao Han's expression turned serious, and he muttered, "… A huge feat, and also a huge test."
