Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Dharma Name Wukong

With a light tap of her fingertip, a vision of the Wansheng Sword Sect’s twelve Heaven-Supporting Sword Peaks suppressing the very origin of the void flashed and vanished. "The Third Realm of Sword is the absolute peak he can reach in this world.

No matter how strong this body becomes, he is ultimately just the number one expert at the Mid-Stage Golden Core in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm. Late-Stage Golden Core? Impossible."

’Are you kidding? Late-Stage Golden Core? Even after reincarnating thousands of times, I, Miaodi, have only managed to scrape the edge of the Mid-Stage Golden Core realm over tens of thousands of years.’

For Lv Chunyang to reach the Mid-Stage Golden Core in a mere thousand years, merge with a Grotto Heaven, and maintain an eternal, unfalling state—this was already the absolute limit of what the other Golden Core True Monarchs of the Wansheng Sword Sect would tolerate.

If he wanted to advance further, several of those Sword Sect True Monarchs would have to die to free up their Fruit Positions for Lv Chunyang to claim.

Hearing this, the shock in Sanzang’s eyes gradually faded, replaced by compassion. He placed his palms together and softly chanted a Buddha’s Name. "Amitabha Buddha. Even if it’s only the Middle Stage, such an attainment in the Sword Dao is rarely seen in all of history."

After saying this, he paid it no more mind. With Lv Chunyang locked at the Mid-Stage Golden Core, Sanzang knew he just had to be more cautious next time and didn’t need to be overly concerned.

Moreover, Lv Chunyang’s actions could be seen as a gesture to the Puchen Pure Land, indicating he had no desire to cause excessive offense.

As for that Xu Yunfan...

’If an opportunity arises in the future, I certainly won’t show any mercy. Converting him and making him one of the Eight Divisions would be a fine outcome.’

His gaze shifted eastward. On the mountain peak, the Chaos Stone Embryo that breathed in the Sun and Moon Essence became increasingly clear within the Buddha Light.

"However, since he is already part of the grand design, his Buddha’s Destiny is set. That Dao Embryo carries the vast karma of our Buddhist Sect and holds the foundation of the True Martial Dao Rhyme. It is truly the ’Sakka’—the missing piece of our Ritual!"

"A bond must be forged with the Eastern Wilderness."

Miaodi Bodhisattva nodded, her voice like a clear spring washing over the Spirit Platform.

The lotus platform beneath her feet spun slightly, and immeasurable Incense Fire Wish Power transformed into a golden Rainbow Bridge, instantly piercing through the void to reach the peak of that nameless, barren mountain in the Eastern Wilderness.

Sanzang understood. His moon-white monk robes billowed as he stepped forward. Where his foot landed, the vast distance of hundreds of millions of miles between the Sumeru Buddha Realm and the Eastern Wilderness Demon Land was reduced to a single step upon the golden Rainbow Bridge.

On the nameless mountain peak, fierce Gang Winds howled.

Sanzang’s figure manifested silently beside the giant, profound yellow boulder.

He extended his right palm, as mild and smooth as jade, and pressed it gently against the rough, cold surface of the giant stone.

The instant his palm made contact, the two entangled specks of light—the Buddhist and Martial Dao Rhymes—inside the Stone Embryo suddenly blazed brightly, and the entire mountain range trembled slightly in resonance!

"Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum..."

The solemn and majestic Six-Character True Words flowed from Sanzang’s lips, each syllable transforming into a tangible, dark-gold Rune that layered itself upon the surface of the giant stone.

Deep within the Stone Embryo, the dark-gold Wan Buddha Pattern was like parched earth meeting a long-awaited rain. It greedily devoured the pure Buddha Power, erupting in brilliant light. In an instant, it suppressed the restless Dao Rhyme of the Black Water Black Tortoise and even dyed the flowing Profound Yellow Mother Qi with a faint golden radiance.

"With stone as your body, you shall bear my karma. Absorb the Dao Rhyme of Buddha, and shape your True Spirit."

Sanzang lightly tapped the top of the stone, sending a pure Buddha seed into it. "From this day forward, you shall be my first True Inheritor, named ’Wukong.’"

As the True Words settled, the Chaos Dao Patterns flowing across the giant stone gradually faded, replaced by a layer of warm and reserved, dark-gold treasured light.

Although it was still gestating within the Stone Embryo, a wisp of nascent yet vast Spiritual Light of Buddha Nature had already awakened in its core.

The First Buddha’s Son of the Bodhi Pure Land had finally been born in response to the calamity, here atop the peak in the Eastern Wilderness Demon Land!

Sanzang withdrew his palm, his gaze sweeping over the vast, boundless Eastern Wilderness Land below, which was thick with Demon Qi. His deep eyes reflected its countless mountains and rivers.

He turned and bowed to Miaodi Bodhisattva. She nodded, retracting the Wish Power Golden Bridge, and spoke.

"The Buddha’s Destiny has gathered, so the Ritual must begin. The Zizai King Buddha Fruit Position requires four people. Besides Wukong, we still need two more disciples."

"Sanzang understands."

Sanzang replied, then took a step off the mountain peak.

Where his foot landed on the Demon Land, a Golden Lotus platform formed purely of Buddha Light bloomed. With a single step, he crossed ten thousand li of mountains and rivers.

With each appearance and disappearance of the lotus platform, towering ancient cities, desolate jungles, and vast, foul marshes passed by...

All flowed beneath his feet like a painted scroll.

His pace seemed slow but was incredibly fast, a lotus blooming with every step as he measured the hundreds of millions of li of mountains and rivers of the Eastern Wilderness with his own two feet.

A vast tide of Buddha Light spread out from under his feet, permeating every inch of land and every wisp of energy in his path.

The savage, baleful qi that had pervaded the Eastern Wilderness Land since time immemorial silently dissolved and transformed under the vast, unstoppable majesty of the King Buddha, melting away like snow in boiling water.

A supreme Ritual, with the entire Eastern Wilderness as its ceremonial ground, aimed at opening up a Buddha Land and welcoming the descent of the Great Compassion and Great Mercy King of the Lotus in the Light Buddha Fruit Position.

The moment he took that first step, it had already silently begun across the Eastern Wilderness Land!

And with every step he took, Sanzang’s Cultivation rapidly diminished.

After three steps, his Buddha Light completely dispersed.

After ten steps, the Golden Lotuses withered and died.

By the time Sanzang had taken 3,600 steps, the brilliant Buddha Light flowing around him was like a candle sputtering in the wind.

The illusory Relics suspended above his head dimmed inch by inch as the vast Buddha Power in his body poured out like a flood from an open sluice gate, gushing into the Eastern Wilderness Land beneath his feet.

Where the Demon Qi dissipated, charred rock gradually took on a sandalwood-gold hue, and withered trees, as if blessed by spring, sprouted new buds.

In the end, Sanzang had become an ordinary man with a Mortal Body. He landed at the edge of the Eastern Wilderness and began walking, step by step, toward the nameless peak that housed the Stone Embryo.

-----------------

Only after the trail of light had completely vanished from the sky did Lv Chunyang slowly turn to face Xu Yunfan, whose complexion was slightly pale from having his Primordial Spirit Origin split and his Fundamental Technique stripped away.

His tone was gentle as he said, "Although the *True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture* has been extracted and transferred, the foundation of your Magical Power at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment has not been shaken. Your Realm is merely a bit unstable.

With your foundation and talent, you just need to find a suitable new technique, change your path, and cultivate diligently without pause. In three years at most, you will surely return to your peak, and perhaps even make further progress."

Xu Yunfan suppressed his excitement about the Attribute Panel and, without hesitation, bowed deeply once more. His voice was earnest and filled with anticipation, "This disciple’s foundation has been damaged and the road ahead is dark. I implore Ancestral Master to show me a clear path!"

Lv Chunyang nodded slightly and made a quick calculation.

He raised his right hand. In his palm, three tiny sword phantoms, which nonetheless held a power that made Xu Yunfan’s very soul tremble, swirled and chased each other like nimble fish.

Without any discernible movement, these three Sword Seals suddenly transformed into motes of light and vanished into the depths of Xu Yunfan’s Purple Mansion at his brow.

’You have obtained three strands of Golden Core Sword Intent.’

A notification from the panel appeared, causing Xu Yunfan’s heart to leap with joy.

Lv Chunyang’s voice sounded directly in Xu Yunfan’s ear.

"These are three strands of Protective Sword Intent refined from my Golden Core Dao Practice. Sword One: Shattering Illusion, which breaks through all illusionary barriers. Sword Two: Tribulation Destruction, which annihilates all calamities. And Sword Three: No Return, an attack from which there is no escape and that ends in utter destruction.

When you face a life-or-death calamity, a Heart Demon invasion, or are being remotely traced by a powerful external force, this Sword Intent will automatically manifest to protect you, preserving a sliver of hope for your survival."

After passing down the life-saving Sword Seals, Lv Chunyang brought his fingers together like a blade. A point of brilliant starlight gathered at his fingertip as he lightly tapped the void before him.

In an instant, specks of light like golden, flowing fire poured from his fingertip. Amidst the swirling starlight, they rapidly spread out and sketched a diagram of profound and unfathomable golden seal script, one that encompassed the orbital paths of the Stars of the Celestial Sphere.
