"If we can reappear the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, it will naturally be a joyous occasion for our Dao Sect." Yang Jian said, "Still, the Grand Master transcended using the Primordial Heavenly Scripture. If our descendants were to take this path, they would easily be targeted by the other Daoist Ancestors. Fellow Daoist Yan cultivated in the Three Purities and opened another path, avoiding this problem for now. This is also a good thing."
"It is still too early to talk about this," Yan Zhaoge said with a smile.
Yang Jian said, "If one does not think far ahead, there will be immediate worries."
Everyone nodded in agreement. They, who came from the Dao Sect, naturally had a deep understanding of this point.
Yan Zhaoge also agreed with Yang Jian's words. Therefore, his current mood was far from being as calm as it appeared on the surface.
At the very beginning, he had his doubts about the Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
It was just that at that time, there was too little information on hand. Everything was like looking at flowers through a fog, vague and difficult to understand.
This was also one of the reasons why he had never revealed the secret that he possessed the Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
Afterwards, as he learnt more and more things, it seemed as if Yan Zhaoge's vigilance over the past few years had been the correct choice. Still, his doubts had not been answered. Instead, they had become more and more contemplative.
In recent years, everyone had placed their hopes on him, who cultivated in the Three Clear Lineages, being able to reverse-engineer the Peerless Heavenly Scripture after gathering the Nine Scriptures. Only then would this supreme martial art reappear within the world. Yan Zhaoge was shocked by this.
Because according to what others said, the Peerless Heavenly Scripture had always been lost. Ever since the Primordial Lord of Heaven had transcended, it wasn't that no one had managed to cultivate this supreme art, but that no one knew about it.
It was fine if the Goddess of Wudang and Perfected Taiyi did not stay in the Heavenly Courts' Divine Palace.
Nominally, Yang Jian held a post in the Divine Palace of the Heavenly Court, but he had a cave abode outside. He listened to orders but did not listen to orders, and rarely asked about the affairs of the Divine Palace of the Heavenly Court.
However, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the North Star Emperor didn't seem to know anything about Yan Zhaoge obtaining the Peerless Heavenly Scripture from the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Martial Repository. They expressed that the Peerless Heavenly Scripture had been lost for a long time, and they had high hopes for Yan Zhaoge to reverse engineer the scripture. Yan Zhaoge couldn't help but think about the hidden meaning behind this.
Now, Nezha, who had always been in the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace, confirmed it again.
Comparatively speaking, Ne Zha's words were more trustworthy than the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's and the North Star Emperor's.
How could Yan Zhaoge's emotions remain calm?
Still, the more his emotions fluctuated, the more Yan Zhaoge tried his best to appear calm on the surface. While he was full of ambition, he was also filled with nervousness and anticipation, looking completely normal.
"By the way, Fellow Daoist." Nezha said to Yang Jian, "Apart from the Wuji Apricot Flag and the Peerless Heavenly Book, there's another good news."
"Oh? Then hurry up and tell me, "said Yang Jian with a smile.
Nezha winked at Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng, "Daoist Yan and Daoist Feng are about to hold their wedding. Isn't this another joyous occasion?"
"That's a cause for celebration." Hearing his words, Yang Ke immediately congratulated Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng, "I must definitely ask for a cup of wine from you two."
"I'm ashamed to say that I've only just settled down now and have the time to make up for this." Yan Zhaoge smiled as he returned Yang Jian's greeting, "How can I be short of a cup of wine, Daoist Brother? I hope Daoist Brother will do me the honour."
"Let's go. We'll talk on the way back." Yang Jian then said to Nezha, "Dipamkara was injured by me. With a good excuse, you won't be able to get what you want in a short time. It's better to go back and settle down first. Then, you can come and make trouble for him."
"After Fellow Daoist Yan and Fellow Daoist Feng's wedding, I'll come back to stop him." Nezha said, "It's a pity that I didn't intercept one of his Sea Calming Pearls in the previous battle. Otherwise, I can use it as a congratulatory gift."
Yan Zhaoge pointed at Nezha and smiled, "I'll remember your words. It's fine if you don't have any now. Just make up for it in the future."
Feng Yunsheng looked at him helplessly. "You!"
"I'll remember it. I'll definitely make up for it," said Nezha proudly.
Everyone followed the etiquette and cupped their hands in the direction of the Western Pure Lands. Then, they turned around and left, returning to the Dao Heavens.
Within the Western Pure Lands, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha, Indestructible Vajra Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, and other Buddhas of the Blessed Lands remained silent as they watched Yan Zhaoge and the others leave.
The Dipankara Ancient Buddha looked normal.
However, there was a lamp in the perfect Buddhist light above and behind his head. At this moment, it was dim and on the verge of collapse, as if it could be extinguished at any time.
"What a pity. Although we managed to locate the Five Self Apricot Yellow Flag, the Three Clear Lineage was already prepared for it." The Dipankara Ancient Buddha sighed, "In the end, the Five Self Apricot Yellow Flag returned to the Three Clear Lineage."
The Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva asked, "How are your injuries?"
"Thank you for your concern, Bodhisattva. Yang Jian's actions are no small matter." The Dipankara Ancient Buddha answered, "However, it won't affect the overall situation. We have sufficient time."
The other Buddhas nodded.
The new Earth Devil's physique was already under the control of the orthodox Buddhism.
Without the Five Self Apricot Yellow Flag and the Green Lotus Flag, the Nine Underworlds had to think of another way to successfully reincarnate the Earth Devil that they exchanged for from the Western Pure Lands.
Moreover, even if the Five Self Apricot Yellow Flag was present, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha could still delay for some time. After his injuries were healed, he could trade with the Nine Underworlds and control the timing of the Nine Underworlds' preparations.
Of course, if the Nine Underworlds managed to locate another physique suitable for the Earth Devil's reincarnation, things would be different.
Only, the probability of that happening was extremely low.
Only four hundred years had passed since Ying Yuzhen's death.
A few hundred years was already a rare short period of time for a new physique to appear.
The probability of a new physique appearing within a short period of time was extremely low, to the point that it was negligible.
Back then, Chen Xuanzong, Chu Heng, and Chu Lili's situation was extremely rare. Moreover, Chen Xuanzong and Chu Heng were much older than Chu Lili.
If that wasn't the case, the new Earth Devil's physique wouldn't have become the Western Pure Lands' bargaining chip, allowing the Nine Underworlds to search for the Five Self Apricot Yellow Flag.
The one that truly affected the overall situation was the Five Self Apricot Yellow Flag.
After losing the Green Lotus Flag and the Five Self Apricot Yellow Flag, the Divine Pestle that could restrain Mahamayuri was even used up.
If they were to face Mahamayuri again, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha would have a headache over what to do.
After all, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Astro Mountains Starry Sea each possessed a Buddha's Sarira.
"Has Mahamayuri returned yet?" asked the Dipankara Ancient Buddha with a sigh.
The Bodhisattva of Guanyin shook her head, "No."
After pondering for a moment, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha's expression remained calm. Then, he turned towards the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the others, and said, "Thank you for your efforts."
The Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and the other Buddhist Bhantes shook their heads, "What are you saying, ancient buddha? Unfortunately, we weren't able to retrieve the Five Self Apricot Yellow Flag. "
"I heard the bodhisattva mentioning that the Young Heavenly Lord – Yan Zhaoge had reverse-deduced the Jade Clear Peerless Heavenly Scripture's profundities?" The Dipankara Ancient Buddha stopped talking about the Five Self Apricot Yellow Flag and changed the topic.
