"If one were to target the Nine Underworlds, the timing would depend on the Nine Underworlds." Yan Zhaoge pondered, "However, the others could try to obstruct the Nine Underworlds in order to buy time for themselves."
"Everyone's more or less prepared. Now is the time to act."
"If the Nine Underworlds are prepared, and we aren't able to obstruct the Nine Underworlds' people, we wouldn't be able to make it in time." Yan Zhaoge pondered and said.
Of course, not being able to make it in time didn't mean that they had to stay out of it.
There was an old saying: Unable to accomplish anything, but capable of ruining everything.
Those who were not prepared could totally obstruct and destroy those who were prepared.
Otherwise, if the other party succeeded, they would have to face another Dao Ancestor.
There was no such thing as harming others without benefiting oneself. As long as one harmed others, it would definitely benefit oneself.
Even if one didn't gain anything this time, they could still plan ahead and prepare for the next round.
The intensity of this tribulation wouldn't be inferior to the battle for the Immortal Extermination Formation. In fact, it might even surpass it.
From a certain perspective, the Dipankara Buddha, Daolord Lu Ya, and the others weren't only satisfied with splitting the Immortal Extermination Four Swords. They were also trying to increase their strength and solidify their foundations, which would increase their chances of winning in the upcoming battle for the Dao Realm.
"Daolord Lu Ya still has to search for a suitable body for the Devil of Fire to reincarnate. This isn't something that can be predicted." Yan Zhaoge stroked his chin, "However, before the Great Calamity, or even before this era, he should have already been planning for this. He should be able to make it in time."
Yan Di said plainly, "Perhaps, he or the Nine Underworlds will start this round."
Either Daolord Lu Ya was prepared and waited for the Nine Underworlds with the others.
Or the Nine Underworlds was also prepared and waited for Lu Ya with the others.
Comparatively speaking, the former was more likely.
"It might be a long wait." Yang Jian smiled, "It's not impossible for some changes to happen during this period."
"Other than the Dipankara Buddha, Daolord Xuandu, and Daolord Lu Ya, is there anyone else who reached the final step of the Grand Heavenly Realm?" Yan Zhaoge thought for a while and asked, "How many Buddha's Śarīras does Mahamayuri have now? Did he manage to gather all of them?"
Yang Jian explained, "According to Uncle Xuan Du's words, there should be a total of five Buddha's Sariras. I'm not sure how many Mahamayuri has, but it's definitely not all of them."
During the war, Mahamayuri and the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles had communicated with each other through sound transmission, so no one could hear them.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge, Yang Jian and the others did not know how many sariras Mahamayuri possessed, not knowing that the Future Buddha possessed one.
However, the ancient Dipankara Buddha still relied on the relic to exchange with Mahamayuri in order to fight for the Immortal Extermination Formation. It could be imagined that after today, Mahamayuri would definitely not be able to gather enough relic.
Otherwise, with Mahamayuri as a competitor, the ancient Dipankara Buddha would have a headache first.
"As Buddhist bigwigs, it's very likely that they're fighting for the same opportunity, and both of them will fall on the Nine Underworlds." Yan, "Yang," Underto Daolord to the Yang Jian 'Worlds., "The Buddha" God, "All Worlds.."
Yang Jian said, "Not many people know about the details. Such matters are usually kept secret. Due to everyone's attention, some information leaked out."
No one would wish for the path they had painstakingly planned to be destroyed by others. Their future would be filled with nothing but hopelessness.
For such matters, it was best to keep a low profile.
Unfortunately, this was everyone's focus. It wasn't something that could be kept low-profile.
Not mentioning all sorts of divination, just one person's preparation and searching for some necessary items would be able to easily see through it.
However, everyone still had to force themselves to continue. They couldn't give up on eating for fear of choking.
The closer one got to the Dao Realm, the harder it would be.
"No matter what, someone from Daoism is just a step away." Yan Zhaoge smiled.
"Even if that's the case, it's still unknown when this great tribulation and opportunity will arrive." Yang Jian said, "Before that, all we can do is continue to endure hardships and accumulate strength. Otherwise, when a fortuitous encounter arrives, it would only be for the benefit of others. At that time, we'll suffer a calamity and only have regrets left."
After the Three Clear lineage obtained the Immortal Extermination Formation, their situation changed greatly. They now had the confidence to stabilize themselves.
However, they had to be cautious if they wanted to progress further.
After all, no matter if it was the Dipankara Ancient Buddha, Mahamayuri, or Daolord Lu Ya, they might have the support of a Dao Ancestor.
The Nine Underworlds, which everyone wanted to take a bite out of, at least had the Freedom Heavenly Devil. It wasn't a pushover.
As for the Elder Lord, he might not stand up for the Great Daoist Xuan Du.
If it was a real problem, it wouldn't really disappear just because it didn't exist.
"Thank you, Daoist, for dispelling my doubts." Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands towards Yang Jian, "May you succeed."
"Thank you for your blessings." After bidding farewell to Yan Zhaoge and the others, his figure disappeared by the void.
Yan Zhaoge and the others continued their journey.
After walking by the void's boundless outskirts for a period of time and observing their surroundings, Yan Zhaoge and the others stopped by a universe.
"Let's do it here." Yan Zhaoge nodded towards Feng Yunsheng, "Keep your Sea Calming Pearl for now."
Feng Yunsheng answered, "Alright."
Yan Zhaoge took out the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's Sea Calming Pearl.
The pearl was incomparably heavy, and it flickered with five-colored radiances.
"Compared to the past, the heavens and earth are different now." Yan Zhaoge took a deep breath, and the profundities of the Heaven Opening Scripture, Grand Commencement Divine Finger, and Dragon Han Tribulation Scripture manifested simultaneously.
The five-colored radiances on the pearl were unprecedentedly dazzling, and they continuously expanded towards the surroundings.
As the radiances flickered, the Sea Calming Pearl also started expanding.
The heaviness of a universe became more and more obvious, causing one's heart to palpitate.
Under the continuous expansion, the five-colored radiances gradually disappeared, and the Sea Calming Pearl itself also disappeared. Only space continued expanding, suppressing the void outside.
Within this universe, many empty spaces suddenly appeared, and the entire place was filled with darkness.
As Yan Zhaoge activated his Heaven Opening power, the darkness was dispelled, and an extremely dazzling radiance was born from within. The chaotic earth, water, fire, and wind followed closely behind the radiance, and continuously surged forward.
Within the cosmos, layers upon layers of unstable space appeared like boiling water. Then, they popped like bubbles, and more bubbles floated up.
Under Yan Zhaoge's control, the chaotic earth, water, fire, and wind quickly calmed down and regained their calmness.
The changes within the cosmos' void stabilized, and it had its own rules. Then, specks of starlight lit up, and stars of their own were born.
While it couldn't move, it was an existence even more vast and majestic than the Awakened Sky Cosmos, and it spanned across the void's boundless outskirts.
It was grand and aboveboard.
