Chapter 605: Chapter 34: Maitreya Buddha, Do You Dare to Seize My Body? (2)

Not long after, Li Mo’s foundation suffered irreversible damage.

Even his Innate Essence couldn’t heal the wounds in a few breaths, causing injuries to compound and continuously worsen.

From the outside, all cultivators could clearly see Li Mo’s decline.

The Nirvana was inevitably affected, the speed at which it climbed towards the Three Pure Ones Temple sharply reduced, but for now, the sea of corpses didn’t threaten to overwhelm them.

As time passed, Li Mo became increasingly weak.

Tian Changwen gradually noticed that people’s hearts were becoming restless. The internal conflict between the two Buddha Ancestors nearly shattered the Buddhist Sect’s hopes.

Han Cai sent a message, asking: "Old Tian, should we arrange an array to suppress Maitreya Buddha?"

"Not yet."

Tian Changwen hesitantly replied, "Something feels off. Li Mo isn’t the reckless type to court self-destruction. There must be a deeper meaning."

Boom.

Just as he finished speaking, Li Mo’s head exploded entirely.

He became shaky and unstable, with the broken neck pulsating with regenerated flesh; Maitreya Buddha had already begun to seize control of Li Mo’s body.

On the surface, it seemed Li Mo was barely holding on.

The whole situation was strange from the start. Li Mo didn’t voluntarily draw Maitreya Buddha into the Mud Pill Palace. Given the extent of Maitreya Buddha’s mutation, it should have been impossible for him to threaten Li Mo.

Tian Changwen shook his head slightly, "Deal with the remaining Buddhist Sect promptly, and immediately get started on the array."

Han Cai had a thought, the human-faced spider connected with fellow cultivators throughout the Nirvana, and all cultivators began to converge towards the Arhat.

Some Arhats detected something strange, but the balance of power had already shifted towards the Creation Sect.

The truce between the two factions relied on Li Mo, but now that Maitreya Buddha had the upper hand, the Creation Sect had to eliminate uncertain factors.

"Kill."

With Tian Changwen’s order, all cultivators readied their blades.

Just then.

Li Mo’s aura suddenly surged, his wounds rapidly healing, and the scattered flesh and bone fragments reformed into a head.

But it was already in the image of Maitreya Buddha, exuding an aura at the pinnacle of the Taoist Ancestor.

Tian Changwen’s face turned grim, but he noticed Li Mo’s last message before losing consciousness, an incredulous shock flickering in his eyes.

Li Mo instructed the Creation Sect to cooperate with Maitreya Buddha, no matter the cost.

Tian Changwen had countless thoughts, but he immediately communicated with Han Cai. The internal strife in the Nirvana stopped for the moment, but tension remained high.

After all, having developed plans spanning thousands of years, they naturally believed Li Mo wouldn’t give up his life without reason; every move had profound motivations.

When Maitreya Buddha took over Li Mo’s flesh, he was amazed by the latter’s robust foundation.

Without a cosmic upheaval, Li Mo’s promotion to Immortal Ancestor was nearly certain, no wonder a new Demon Ancestor emerged in the world.

He noted that as soon as the body seizing succeeded, Li Mo’s Three Dharma Bodies merged into his Lifebound Immortal Artifact, then disappeared into the depths of the Mud Pill Palace.

"Amitabha Buddha, Li Mo, no matter how clever your plans, you can’t sway the Immortal Ancestor. Ultimately, your flesh serves as my stepping stone to transcendence."

Even if Li Mo were to hide in the shadows, surviving, he couldn’t turn the situation around.

Unless Li Mo’s cultivation could surpass Maitreya Buddha’s, reversal of the body seizing was impossible.

Maitreya Buddha wore a compassionate expression, pointing the Nianhua Finger at the Bodhi Tree in the center of Nirvana, which instantly surged with vibrant life.

The withered Bodhi Tree burst with branches and leaves, an endless Buddha Light swept across the sea of corpses for miles.

"With the Three Buddha Ancestors united, even the realm of the Heavenly Dao is within reach. Li Mo, you surely can’t transform into the Heavenly Dao out of nothing."

Maitreya Buddha looked around, muttering to himself, "Continuing the cycle of rebirth is a dead end indeed. I should seize this last chance to consume the Demon Ancestor and truly achieve the Heavenly Dao."

"Li Mo, what is your true purpose?"

No matter how Maitreya Buddha theorized, he ultimately followed the path Li Mo had laid out.

"I have learned; to enter the trap willingly is to outwit fate by half."

"Goodness."

Maitreya Buddha chanted and prayed.

Everyone knelt, including the disciples of the Creation Sect.

Tian Changwen and others had been hiding in Nirvana for thousands of years; they were exceptionally skilled, even using the external minds transplanted by the Immortal Creation Body for a devout secondary consciousness to take over.

The Buddhist Arhat felt uneasy, the patience demonstrated by the Creation Sect was terrifying.

When Maitreya Buddha finished chanting, the Great Wisdom Arhat stepped forward, "Buddha Ancestor, the Nirvana is filled with chaos, entirely due to the remnants of No-Life Mother’s forces, contributing nothing to the Buddhist Sect."

Maitreya Buddha opened his eyes, looked at Tian Changwen, and asked, "Heart Monkey Arhat, what is your opinion?"

Tian Changwen remained calm, saying, "The Four Great Bodhisattvas attempted to refine the reincarnated Buddha ancestor. We only contributed our meager strength."

"I see."

Maitreya Buddha nodded, showing no intention to punish Tian Changwen. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The Devil Sect’s realm was full of evil spirits, and a slight misstep could lead to the Demon Ancestor faking death to escape. He needed his Arhat and Bodhisattva subordinates for cleansing.

"Great virtue, accolade-worthy."

Maitreya Buddha pointed, instantly obliterating all deceitful objects within a few hundred miles, and the resulting shockwave swept through the Immortal Realm, shaking the earth and mountains.

The sea of corpses turned to ash, the remnants absorbed into Maitreya Buddha’s body.

Maitreya Buddha’s Buddha Qi surged, and his upturned palm seemed to nurture something, with flesh and bones writhing, resembling fruit.

"Amitabha Buddha."

"Heart Monkey Arhat, for your contributions to the Buddhist Sect, I promote you to Heart Monkey Bodhisattva."

Tian Changwen received the baptism of Maitreya Buddha’s Buddha Light, and a fruit formed in the Mud Pill Palace.

Lotuses blossomed, a faint sandalwood fragrance spread, and an Infinite Golden Light enveloped Tian Changwen as if the Heavenly Dao was offering congratulations.

This fruit was a Mahayana Fruit of the Buddhist Sect, a necessary condition for an Arhat’s promotion to Bodhisattva, not naturally formed through cultivation, thereby significantly solidifying the Nirvana’s hierarchy.

Tian Changwen was momentarily unresponsive.

Only when his cultivation naturally evolved into a transformation did he belatedly thank Maitreya Buddha.

He was increasingly convinced that Li Mo had plans in place; letting Maitreya Buddha take over was merely a strategic retreat, and the subsequent schemes far exceeded expectations.

The Great Wisdom Arhat looked amazed.

Maitreya Buddha didn’t just confer on Tian Changwen; he continued speaking to Han Cai: "Spider Mother Arhat, for your contributions to the Buddhist Sect, I promote you to Spider Mother Bodhisattva."

"Sword Holding Arhat, for your contributions to the Buddhist Sect, I promote you to Sword Holding Bodhisattva."

"Demon Skin Arhat, for your contributions to the Buddhist Sect, I promote you to Demon Transformation Bodhisattva."

......

Maitreya Buddha appointed nineteen people in succession, all the Arhats of the Creation Sect were conferred the Right Fruit, breaking through to Daluo Golden Immortal was only a matter of time.

The original Arhats of the Nirvana only saw two promoted to the Small Position True Fruit.

The Small Position True Fruit couldn’t lead to a Bodhisattva breakthrough, only slightly stronger than a typical Arhat.

Maitreya Buddha valued the Creation Sect because of their seamless cooperation, even after Li Mo’s death and Dao disappearance they showed no rejection.

The Buddhist Arhats with outstanding character had all perished during the second cosmic upheaval.

"Amitabha Buddha, the cosmic calamity was orchestrated by the Demon Ancestor."

Maitreya Buddha clapped the ground, accelerating the movement of Nirvana.

......

Heavenly Court.

Inside Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monads’s Alchemy Room.

Over forty False Immortals hid at the base of the Alchemy Furnace, with a grotesque True Immortal seemingly standing guard at the door.

Zu Xiuyun heard the commotion from the Nirvana.

"Tian Chenzi, where is the Nirvana headed?"

The True Immortal, with dulled reactions, took a few breaths before responding: "Devil Sect’s realm."

"Hm."

Zu Xiuyun’s face turned solemn, and the other cultivators remained silent upon seeing her expression.

"Master once said that if the Nirvana’s destination is the Three Pure Ones Hall, we can wait for him and then head to the top of the Immortal Mountain together."

"If the destination is the Devil Sect."

Zu Xiuyun squinted, as an unknown magic technique operated within her.

"Senior Sister?" Yu Xiao sensed Zu Xiuyun’s cultivation rapidly declining, while Si Rui stared at her, incredulous.

Zu Xiuyun, in an instant, turned completely gray-haired, her skin lined with deep furrows.

"We need to ascend the Three Pure Ones Hall on our own."

She stepped out of the Alchemy Room, and the eight-kilometer-tall Immortal of Colossal Spirit noticed her, murmuring incoherently.

"Silence!"

Zu Xiuyun bled from all seven orifices, her spine aged and bent.

"Kneel!!"

The Immortal of Colossal Spirit’s knees hit the ground, its lowered head seemingly reverent before a deity.
