After a few epochs' worth of hard work, years of running around and preparation.
One of the strongest Allheaven Immortals in history, Mahamayuri finally had the chance to ascend to the Dao Realm in this era.
However, today, his hopes were dashed.
When Yan Zhaoge broke through the five-colored sacred light and arrived in front of Mahamayuri, Amitabha Buddha attempted to obstruct him and protect Mahamayuri.
However, the monkey waved his cudgel again and repelled the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, blocking Amitabha Buddha.
Amitabha Buddha's expression was filled with bitterness as usual. While blocking the monkey, he glanced at the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
After being obstructed by the monkey, Yan Zhaoge gravely injured Kong Xuan and destroyed his path to the Dao Realm!
Daoist Lu Ya, Nezha, and the others were shocked.
During such a crucial moment, they didn't have to obstruct Mahamayuri.
On the contrary, if Mahamayuri could ascend to the Dao Realm, Yan Zhaoge might be able to do Mahamayuri a favor if he did things properly.
In the past, the monkey was born in the Demon Race and cultivated his unparalleled cultivation. He was from Daoism and had nothing to do with the Western Pure Lands, the Immortal Court, and the Devil Dao.
Currently, Mahamayuri was from both the Demon Race and Buddhism.
Ascending to the Dao Realm was more important than anything else.
It was understandable for him to side with whichever side helped him the most.
If Kong Xuan supported the Eastern Sovereign Taiyi after ascending to the Dao Realm, even if the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil recovered, he would still be at a disadvantage.
If Kong Xuan couldn't ascend to the Dao Realm, the Dao Realm experts of both sides would still be four against three.
According to Daoist Lu Ya's thoughts, Yan Zhaoge didn't have to be so resolute. There wasn't any irreconcilable enmity between him and Kong Xuan.
The white-clothed Buddha spat out another mouthful of golden blood.
He raised his head and looked at Yan Zhaoge, only to see Yan Zhaoge sighing.
"Sorry for the offense." Yan Zhaoge looked at Kong Xuan and said calmly, "From the start to the end, this wasn't your chance to ascend to the Dao Realm."
"Today, you are just like Lu Ya, South Pole, and Xuandu in the past."
Kong Xuan was at a loss. Then, he was shocked.
All those years ago, even though the three Golden Immortal Realm experts that fought for the fortune of the Dao Realm in the Ninth Hell Trap had failed, they weren't the only ones who failed.
The ancient Dipankara Buddha also returned in defeat.
Why didn't Yan Zhaoge mention the Dipankara Ancient Buddha?
This was because there was a fundamental difference between the ancient Dipankara Buddha and the other three.
From the beginning to the end, the Dipankara Ancient Buddha was the only candidate that Amitabha and the Western Pure Lands supported to ascend to the Dao Realm.
Amitabha wanted to find an opportunity to kill the Maitreya Buddha in the Ninth Underworld Puzzle.
However, from the beginning to the end, he had supported the ancient Dipankara Buddha in the fight for the opportunity of the Dao Realm. He had no other choice.
The first choice of the East Emperor Taiyi and the Grand Supreme Elder was actually Monkey, not Daolord Lu Ya, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, or the Great Emperor Longevity of the Southern Extremity.
Having understood this, Mahamayuri looked at Yan Zhaoge in shock.
Right at this moment, the seemingly motionless phoenix remains suddenly released layers of jade light.
The jade light enveloped Yan Zhaoge's entire body.
A white jade door appeared right in front of him, and then it opened!
An immense suction force emanated from within the great white jade door, wanting to drag Yan Zhaoge within.
The others were shocked to see this.
The monkey was enraged. He immediately abandoned the Amitabha Buddha and chased after the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
A voice resounded from within the jade door. It was distant and faintly discernible, and it was hard to discern whether it was a male or female.
"This is how the Shakyamuni should be used."
His tone was calm, without any fluctuations. It was as if he was talking to Yan Zhaoge and Mahamayuri, as well as the Amitabha Buddha, the Dipankara Buddha, and Daolord Lu Ya.
However, as the voice resounded, the Shakyamuni that transformed into the five Golden Buddhas suddenly radiated brightly.
Within the radiance, a silhouette was faintly discernible.
It wasn't the Saha Pagoda from the Nine Underworlds Puzzle anymore. Instead, it was a human silhouette.
That person had a sallow complexion, and his eyes were filled with benevolence and wisdom. He sat under the Bodhi tree, and picked up a Udumbara Flower between his thumb and middle finger.
After seeing that person, the monkey instantly yelled.
"Tathagata!"
Everyone present was extremely familiar with the silhouette sitting under the Bodhi tree.
In the past, one of the two Buddhist Patriarchs, the Dao Ancestor Zhunti, had transformed into him. He was the head of the central Blessed Lands of Saha's Western Mystical Mountain's Great Thunderclap Monastery, the Gautama Buddha, also known as the Tathagata Buddha!
It was an existence that had transcended during the Middle era.
Currently, it wasn't the Shakyamuni Buddha that had transcended that had returned to the Primordial World.
However, the golden body that was smiling while holding the flower was currently emitting surging Buddha radiances. Its aura was supremely majestic, and it didn't seem to be inferior to the current Dao Ancestors.
The Tathagata Avatar blocked the monkey's path.
The monkey, who was already enraged when he saw the white jade door devouring Yan Zhaoge, became even more enraged.
He could tell that the Tathagata Avatar in front of him had a limited duration, just like the Saha Pagoda.
However, he was currently blocked, and couldn't chase after the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. He could only watch as the white jade door was about to devour Yan Zhaoge.
Looking at the jade radiances erupting from the phoenix's remains, which transformed into a trap to deal with Yan Zhaoge, and then looking at the five Shakyamuni that had manifested into an unknown state, Kong Xuan's gaze was filled with despair, and fatigue appeared on his face.
Just as Yan Zhaoge had said, today wasn't his chance to ascend to the Dao Realm.
He was merely a cover.
Even if he really had the chance to succeed, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord would be the first to reject it!
If Yan Zhaoge and the others couldn't enter, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord might even let them enter and spoil Kong Xuan's plans.
What made Kong Xuan feel the most exhausted was that Yan Zhaoge seemed to have already predicted the truth of this matter. Only, he still stepped into it.
Only now did Kong Xuan wake up from his dream. He realized that everything that happened previously was merely an illusion.
The sudden change in the situation caused everyone else to have their own thoughts.
The Dao Ancestors' gazes shifted between the Tathagata Avatar, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, and Yan Zhaoge.
A voice resounded from within the white jade door, "Maitreya, this path belongs to you."
Streams of light flew out from within the jade door again.
Within every stream of light, a Daoist's image existed.
Every Daoist's image was faintly discernible and ever-changing. It was as if countless people's silhouettes were alternating between each other. Every single moment was different, and they were constantly changing.
It was obvious that they were the treasured lights condensed from a sea of incense and faith power.
They were the Humanly Essence Stone fragments!
Everyone was shocked, "Not only the Heavenly Essence Stone, but even the Humanly Essence Stone?"
The Amitabha Buddha looked at the white jade door deeply. Then, his figure flickered and intercepted the Humanly Essence Stone fragments flying towards the Maitreya Buddha.
The East Sovereign Taiyi stepped forward and obstructed the Amitabha Buddha.
The Primordial Heavenly Devil and the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil coldly watched everything that was happening before them.
After the Humanly Essence Stone fragments flew out from within the white jade door, they stopped caring about the Dao Realm bigwigs' battle and focused on suppressing Yan Zhaoge!
