The monkey had transcended, and if the orthodox Daoism didn't have a new Dao Ancestor, although they wouldn't fall into the abyss, the outcome wouldn't be as easy as it was now.
The orthodox Daoism's relationship with the Demon Race and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus wasn't exactly friendly.
However, with the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Primordial Heavenly Fiend, Amitabha Buddha, and the others by his side, everyone was standing on the same side.
The Eastern Emperor Taiyi was friendly with the monkey. Apart from the fact that the monkey was from the demon race, another important reason was that the monkey had not shown any signs of being able to transcend in this era.
Compared to his direct competitor, Amitabha, the monkey was a reliable ally to Donghuang Taiyi.
If the monkey also wanted to fight for the position of transcendence in this era, the relationship between the two parties would definitely change.
In fact, with the monkey holding the fort and the Immortal Extermination Formation, the combined strength of the orthodox Daoism had already surpassed the Astro Mountains Star Ocean.
To the Western Pure Lands and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, the current orthodox Daoism was pressuring.
The annihilation of the Immortal Court was a warning to the other forces.
Even the Eastern Monarch Taiyi and the Future Buddha might be tempted.
Putting aside the existence of the monkey, joining forces to destroy the Immortal Extermination Array was an idea that tempted everyone.
It was just that the conflict between Amitabha and the Eastern Monarch Taiyi had reached a critical moment.
The slightest mishap could turn the tables on the Future Buddha's safety. Therefore, it was very difficult for the two of them to work together.
That was why the orthodox Daoist sects could do whatever they wanted.
Yan Zhaoge and the others had to consider it as well. After the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil and the Amitabha Buddha recovered, they had become four Dao Realm bigwigs alongside the Primordial Heavenly Devil and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
"Amitabha, I think it will be a little faster. The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon suffered a great loss before, so he probably needs more time to recuperate," Xu Fei said. "However, the day when the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon recovers might be the day when there will be trouble again."
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "There is one that we should not overlook."
As he spoke, he made a gesture with his hand.
The shape of his fingers was very similar to that of a peacock.
"Mahamayuri!" Feng Yunsheng and Xu Fei's eyes flickered.
In the Nine Underworlds, Mahamayuri Kong Xuan assisted the Demon Race and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus in order to obtain the Buddha Sarira.
In the end, in the middle of the battle, they were ambushed by the Western Pure Lands' foreshadowing and were suppressed by the central Saha Pagoda.
After that, Yan Zhaoge ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm, while the monkey ascended to the Dao Realm.
The outcome had been decided. After the central Saha Pagoda disappeared, Mahamayuri did not linger and chose to leave immediately.
However, according to the agreement between the Future Buddha Maitreya and him, as long as Mahamayuri did his best to assist Daolord Lu Ya in the Ninth Netherworld Puzzle, the fifth and final Buddha sarira would belong to him.
"Maitreya Buddha cultivates the power of faith and will not break his promise. In this way, Mahamayuri will have gathered all five Buddha's Sariras," Feng Yunsheng said.
"Mahamayuri is actually the winner of the Nine Nether Puzzle." Xue Fei frowned slightly.
Although the monkey had ascended to the Dao Realm, Yan Zhaoge had displayed astonishing strength when he had just ascended to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm.
In Daoism's lineage, Yang Jian had improved even further. His Eight Nine Mysteries Art continued to improve, becoming more and more abstruse. He often wanted to spar with Mahamayuri to avenge his defeat against Mahamayuri when he was still a Grand Virtual Immortal during the Ancient era.
Suo Mingzhang had just shocked the world with his battle against the Five-colored Divine Light and remained undefeated.
Moreover, due to the Devils' influence, Feng Yunsheng and Nie Jingshen weren't in their best condition during the Battle of the Nine Underworlds.
A thousand years had passed, and they, who were in a period of rapid growth, had long since reached a new peak in their strength.
If there were any doubts before this, Suo Mingzhang's performance had already confirmed their suspicions.
Before fighting against Suo Mingzhang in the Battle of the Nine Underworlds, other than the Great Sage Equalling Heavens' true body, Mahamayuri was most wary of Feng Yunsheng's assassination slash …
If he didn't care about it a thousand years ago, Kong Xuan wasn't confident that he could survive Feng Yunsheng's sneak attack.
The revival of Daoism was in full swing.
With the continuous emergence of top-notch experts, while Mahamayuri wasn't afraid of a battle, his dominance over those beneath the Dao Realm for a long period of time would inevitably diminish.
However, this was a battle between Grand Heavenly Realm experts beneath the Dao Realm.
It was completely different from the Dao Realm.
If Mahamayuri succeeded in taking that step and ascended to the Dao Realm, he would be in a completely different world, just like the monkey.
"Everyone said that the five Buddha's śarīras are related to Mahamayuri ascending to the Dao Realm. If so, how far away is he from the Dao Realm?" asked Xue Fei.
Feng Yunsheng looked at Yan Zhaoge with uncertainty, "Is Mahamayuri waiting for the right time, or is he still lacking something? I feel like it's the latter, but I can't be sure. "
While she was strong in actual combat, her grasp of the laws of heaven and earth was slightly lacking. In terms of calculation, she was much inferior to Yan Zhaoge.
"Before the Three Flowers Converged Crown, I couldn't be sure. But now, I can say for sure that Kong Xuan is still lacking a little." Yan Zhaoge said, "The five Buddha's śarīras are necessary, but not all."
"Still lacking a little …" Feng Yunsheng pondered, "If that's the case, it's not the Dao Ancestor Zhunti's divine pestle. Otherwise, he wouldn't be lacking something when the item is already in his hands."
Yan Zhaoge lightly tapped on his temple, "Perhaps, it's not the Buddhism's problem. Kong Xuan was never purely a Buddhism bigwig."
"He's also from the Demon Race …" Feng Yunsheng and Xue Fei understood.
"I'm guessing that this Daoist Kong is still lacking something in the Demon Race." Yan Zhaoge was slightly dazed, "However, the item might not be in the Astro Mountains Starry Seas."
Xue Fei said, "If that's the case, the key is when the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil recovers."
If Mahamayuri had the chance to ascend to the Dao Realm, he would be the center of attention.
The other Dao Ancestors would join in as well.
If Kong Xuan were to ascend to the Dao Realm, his next choice would be extremely crucial. It might affect the entire situation.
No matter if everyone wanted to suppress Kong Xuan or help him ascend to the Dao, an intense battle would definitely occur. The situation wouldn't be inferior to the Nine Underworlds Situation.
At that time, whether a Dao Ancestor like the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil would participate in the battle or not would directly determine the final outcome.
"Let's just focus on ourselves." Yan Zhaoge smiled.
Feng Yunsheng and Xue Fei nodded in agreement.
After bidding farewell to Xue Fei, Yan Zhaoge brought Feng Yunsheng to the back mountain.
Standing outside Yan Di's seclusion grounds, Yan Zhaoge fell into deep thought.
After a while, he turned to look at Feng Yunsheng and said softly, "Do you want to hear a story?"
