"A chance that many people are waiting for …" Yan Zhaoge repeated his words.
He and the others looked at each other and said in unison, "… A chance to ascend to the Dao Realm?"
A Grand Heavenly Immortal, Demon Race Great Sage, or Blessed Lands' Buddha would have the chance to ascend to the Dao Realm!
The closer they got to the Dao Realm, the harder it would be.
Not only would they have to break through, but they would also have to face their competitors.
From a certain perspective, the competition of the Great Dao and the competition of fortune didn't exist in harming others without benefiting oneself.
Harming others would definitely benefit oneself. If one's chances were lesser, one's chances would be greater.
In other words, having fewer competitors would increase one's chances.
In the past, due to the uniqueness of the Maitreya Buddha's lineage, he could have easily succeeded the Tathagata Buddha and become the new Blessed Lands of Saha's master.
However, after being scammed, he could only change his path and transform the central Blessed Lands of Saha into the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus.
This matter had far-reaching effects. Although the Future Buddha, also known as the Maitreya Buddha, ascended to the Dao Realm and stabilized the fate of the Blessed Lands, it also caused chaos.
Many Buddhist Bhantes perished, and many Buddhist Bhantes left to join the Western Pure Lands.
Yan Zhaoge speculated that the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord's birth, which triggered the chaos of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace after the Great Calamity, was the result of a Daoism Heavenly Immortal's advancement.
In the end, he succeeded and transformed into the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, ascending to the Dao Realm and becoming a Dao Ancestor. However, the calamity that affected the entire great thousand worlds was the start of it.
Most of the orthodox Daoism's lineages suffered from the calamity and only recovered their vitality today.
All Dao Ancestors were born earlier. After confirming that the Tathagata Buddha was Daoist Zhunti's incarnation, it was confirmed that only the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha had achieved the Dao Ancestor's position after birth.
Among the Grand Heavenly Realm pinnacle experts, which of them didn't yearn for the Dao Realm?
At this stage, even if they cultivated the same dao art, everyone's path of ascending to the Dao Realm might be different.
However, other than their own efforts, it also depended on luck.
In this world, such a huge fortune was limited.
For example, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha to gather faith power using Humanly Essence Stone. It was already a rare occurrence. It was impossible for a third person to appear.
As for the two of them, they influenced each other and became mortal enemies, fighting each other to this day.
Different people, different paths, but in the end, they might have to fight for the same opportunity.
More often than not, a fortuitous encounter could only create one person.
"Nine Nether …" Feng Yunsheng took a deep breath.
While the demons were busy plotting, the others had never forgotten about them. It was just that the time had not come yet, and everyone was still in the stage of laying out their plans.
"Isn't it like killing pigs during the New Year in the secular world? When the pigs are fattened up, they can be slaughtered during the new year, and then the whole family will have a fat year? "Yan Zhaoge smiled.
Yang Jian also laughed and shook his head. "It looks like it, but this wild boar has rough skin and tough hair. It's extremely strong, and its fangs are sharp. It could turn around and stab a person to death at any time."
Feng Yunsheng didn't laugh. She thought of Jian Shunhua and herself.
There were already signs of an impending catastrophe. Under the power struggle of many parties, no one dared to say that they could grasp the situation, nor could they say that they could predict the outcome.
In this great calamity, what role would she play? What would be the final outcome?
"In this scheme of the Nine Underworlds, the ones who acted included our Daoism's seniors, right?" Yan Zhaoge turned and looked behind him.
The Tushita Palace of Lihen Heaven was so high that it was difficult for those who were in the boundless void outside the realm to find their bearings.
However, this action of Yan Zhaoge's was very obvious.
The Nine Nether used the Immortal Slaying Sword to exchange for the authority of the Taishang Demon. The Grand Supreme Elder did not comment on it and left it to the Great Master Xuan Du to handle. In the end, the Great Master Xuan Du agreed to the deal.
If a general wishes to take something, he must first give it.
This principle was the same for Nine Nether and those who wanted to make use of Nine Nether to accomplish their own good deeds.
For example, in the transaction between the Western Pure Lands and the Nine Underworlds, they used the Faceless Heavenly Devil's authority to exchange for the Great Freedom Heavenly Devil's assistance.
Not only was it for this fight for the Immortal Execution Array, but it was also to pave the way for what was to come.
Therefore, when the Dao Sect sought the Immortal Extermination Formation and the Four Immortal Extermination Swords, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon of the Nine Underworlds brought the Immortal Extermination Ancient Sword to the Tushita Palace.
If Taoism kept the Taishang Demon captive, the Nine Nether wouldn't be able to move and the other parties wouldn't have a chance either.
Opportunities needed to be created by everyone.
Giving others a chance was also giving oneself a chance.
Everyone was well aware of this. While they had a tacit understanding, they were also on guard against each other.
As for who would succeed in the end, and who would be sacrificing for others, it would depend on their own luck and methods.
Obviously, the Great Master Xuan Du understood this logic and did the same.
Although he was the Elder Lord's disciple, he still had to compete with others if he wanted to ascend to the Dao Realm.
"It's not just one person, and it's not purely for the Nine Nether's plan either. They're just acting according to the situation," said Yang Jian.
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "That's right. Everything is intertwined, and everything is intertwined. An opportunity will appear in the midst of chaos."
Didn't the orthodox Daoism rise again because they were constantly searching for opportunities in such an environment that affected all directions?
If Daoism could really gain another Dao Ancestor, the meaning would naturally be different.
"Are you also calculating this plan, Daoist?" Asked Yan Zhaoge. Yang Jian shook his head, "I've embarrassed myself. My path ahead is still a little blurry, and I haven't completely sorted it out. The opportunity to ascend to the Dao Realm is most likely not in the Nine Nether's plan."
"However, if we can really gain another Dao Ancestor, I'd be happy to see it happen."
Although his strength was extremely strong, it didn't mean that he was prepared to ascend to the Dao Realm.
It was normal for people's situations to be different.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze flickered slightly. He looked at Feng Yunsheng and pondered, "Nine Nether …"
To them, they might still be far away from the Dao Realm. However, this tribulation was closely related to them.
Not only Feng Yunsheng, but also Nie Jingshen …
"The Elder Lord's attitude is equivalent to going with the flow. He didn't go against the Great Master Xuan Du's intentions, but he doesn't intend to create a new Dao Ancestor for Daoism …" Yan Zhaoge retracted his thoughts and looked at Yang Jian, "He doesn't seem to care about whether the Nine Underworlds could establish the Twelve Devilish Grand Formation, whether the Primordial Heavenly Devil would break out of the seal, or whether the Doomsday Heavenly Devil would descend."
Yang Jian said, "The Elder Lord's thoughts are hard to predict. Whether he agrees or not, it wouldn't be surprising even if he rejects it."
"Daoist brother, you haven't made your preparations yet. May I know who's already prepared and waiting for the final step?" asked Yan Zhaoge.
"Among the people, the one who prepared the earliest should be the Dipankara Ancient Buddha." Yang Jian answered, "After the end of the Ancient era, during the Middle era, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha should have already reached the final step of the Grand Heavenly Realm. He only needed an opportunity to ascend to the Dao Realm."
However, this one step was the difference between the Grand Heavenly Realm and the Immortal Realm and the Dao Realm. They were two completely different concepts.
"I've heard others mention that the Dipankara Ancient Buddha had spoiled the Maitreya Buddha's dao path, causing the Maitreya Buddha to have no choice but to change his path?" asked Yan Zhaoge.
