Chapter 1034: 756: Blocking the Path! (Part 2)
“Gold attribute soaring! Who is this person stepping onto the gold-seeking grand path, impacting the True Monarch position?”
“The celestial origin is in the Southern Border Wushan area; could it be the Witch Master from the Witch God Sect?”
“This person seems to be undergoing their third reincarnation cultivation, unknowingly accumulating such vast atmospheric phenomena, even refining the gold attribute into shape!”
Several Purple Mansion True Masters standing in the high aerial cloud sea, gazing at the sky full of golden and cyan radiance, their expressions full of astonishment, repeatedly clicking tongues in amazement.
In this dimension, the Water Virtue and Sun Residence, two orthodox constellations, are uniquely advantaged, with abundant innate Dao fortune, making the path to gold-seeking much easier.
For other sects and doctrines, the difficulty of gold-seeking increases many times, making it as hard as ascending to heaven to condense a complete and pure gold attribute!
“This Witch Master has hidden too deeply; if not for the gold attribute soaring skyward, none of us would have known he secretly seeks gold, even reaching the final hurdle!”
“It’s quite normal, actually.”
“For sects outside the orthodoxy, under the protection of Wu Spirit Mountain and Taiyi, naturally proceed cautiously, not daring to reveal even a bit of our edge.”
“The gold attribute has already ascended, only missing the final step to worship at the Golden Court…”
“At this point, it’s too late to obstruct; today, we might witness the appearance of a True Monarch from outside orthodoxy!”
Thousands of Purple Mansion True Masters standing amidst layers of cloud sea, their eyes burning with anticipation, quietly waiting for the moment when the golden position drops starlight, and the title resounds throughout the world.
…
The Lotus Platform of Ten Thousand Buddhas at Spirit Mountain and the Taiyi Profound Sect Purple Mansion Celestial Palace, two supreme holy lands.
Boundless Buddha light and vast Dao aura sweep across the star domain, the pressure enveloping the entire dimension.
As soon as the Nine Heavens Golden Track anomaly occurred, several True Monarchs opened their eyes, locking onto the astonishing phenomenon at Southern Border Wushan.
The True Buddha of Destiny sat on the Nine-Grade Lotus Platform, his gaze lightly overlooking the Southern Border:
“An outsider witchcraft cultivator, able to reach the last step of gold-seeking, is indeed a rare fate.”
“However, he seeks the independent golden position [Witch Oracle], which is not part of the orthodox sequence of the Five Elements Sun and Moon constellations.”
“This golden position is solitary, allowing only one True Monarch to take charge, and others cannot share even half the authority; the hope of ascending to this golden position is exceedingly slim.”
Beside him, the Unobstructed Buddha’s dark golden light slowly circulated:
“Instead, I sincerely hope he succeeds in his quest for the Dao.”
The True Buddha of Destiny turned to meet his gaze, and the two shared a smile, understanding each other without words.
Among all gold-seeking cultivators, not everyone can have the uncommon fate like [Void Sun], the Wuchen King Buddha!
Ordinary new True Monarchs with unstable Dao foundations and shallow authority are ideal resources.
By devouring and dividing them, one can supplement oneself and eliminate golden position pollution, achieving two goals at once.
…
Above the nine heavens.
The outsider [Witch Oracle]’s natal star fluctuated in brightness, with dim and weak starlight.
Never once did it drop even a glimmer of starlight to receive; coldly indifferent, as if entirely rejecting others.
The thousands of cultivators watching in the cloud sea felt a collective sinking of their hearts, exclaimed with shock.
“Failed! The golden position refuses to accept the gold-seeker!”
“The golden position does not match!”
“Seems the golden position has a claimant!”
On the Spirit Mountain Lotus Platform, the True Buddha of Destiny and the Unobstructed Buddha slowly shook their heads, deliberately showing a hint of regret on their faces.
“What a pity!”
“A perfect celestial material lost in vain!”
But in the next instant, the heavens underwent sudden change!
The majestic gold attribute, which should have dissipated into nothingness, suddenly trembled intensely.
A secretive and elusive force lifted the gold attribute from the void, flowing diagonally along the interwoven star tracks.
The cultivators watching in the cloud sea, their heads full of bewilderment, discussed in uncertainty.
“Something’s wrong!”
“By the eternal gold-seeking laws, if the golden position doesn’t match, the gold attribute should disintegrate, and the cultivator’s true spirit should fall.”
“Why is there no sign of dispersal today?”
At Spirit Mountain, the True Buddha of Destiny and the Unobstructed Buddha exchanged a glance, their expressions shifting dramatically.
“This is… the leap-off ancient ritual!”
“Only a True Monarch who has ascended the golden position and holds authority, or one who has reincarnated, can trigger this ritual!”
In their minds, they quickly hypothesized all fallen and reincarnated True Monarchs in this dimension, with recent years indicating only Cheng Kong fits the conditions.
“Is it him?”
The two immediately formed complex seals with their hands, activating innate Buddha power to extrapolate worldly causality and celestial secrets.
Yet the celestial secrets in this entire dimension were chaotic and disordered, with all causal clues blurred and broken, and despite their high authority, they couldn’t grasp the root.
“What’s happening?”
“Why is this dimension’s celestial secret so confused that no clear clues can be grasped?”
“Is this person Cheng Kong’s reincarnation?”
The Unobstructed Buddha’s gaze was heavy, and he spoke solemnly:
“Watch where he leap-offs to embrace which golden position.”
“If someone is heading towards the Void Sun, it’s very likely to be Cheng Kong himself.”
“Wuchen presides over the Void Sun and would most likely welcome a docile and submissive subordinate who can be used at will!”
The True Monarch of the Intercalary Position exists outside the orthodox sequence, holding meager power, and is a pawn the orthodox True Monarchs feel most secure in manipulating.
The True Buddha of Destiny’s expression turned solemn:
“We must consider the variables of Wuchen’s intervention in advance!”
“Immediately send a message to Spirit Monarch Zhen Shui, inviting him to come and help balance the situation!”
The True Buddha of Destiny nodded, a thread of Buddha Seal Escape Light penetrated the void, sending a message to the Taiyi Profound Sect Spirit Monarch Zhen Shui in the Eastern Water Mansion.
Back then, they had joined forces to encircle Cheng Kong, and if the latter truly reincarnated, everyone must combine their strength to deal with it.
No one can stand apart and stay safe!!
…
The next moment
Suddenly, the western horizon burst forth with brilliant light.
A star of complete cyan, emanating endless vitality, the Kuimu Star, erupted instantly with ten thousand feet of Wood Virtue cyan light.
Countless gentle and majestic cyan wood Dao Qi poured down, enveloping the entire Southern Border sky in cyan radiance.
The pupils of Unobstructed Buddha contracted sharply:
“Kuimu?”
“His aim of transformation was actually Kuimu, not the Void Sun!”
Transformation never follows whims.
Without the golden position sovereign’s permission and the old Dao star track’s guidance, crossing the star constellation barrier to change the desired power position is impossible.
At this moment, as the celestial phenomena changed, the two Buddhas’ minds wavered with doubt.
“Could this person be someone other than Cheng Kong’s reincarnation?”
“Then who exactly is this person?”
“Could it be a True Monarch from ancient times?”
While the Spirit Mountain Two Buddhas secretly contemplated and deduced.
The robust gold attribute followed the radiant path cast by the Kuimu star, driving in and completely merging with Kuimu’s life force star track.
In an instant.
An endless sea of green light swept across half a dimension, the wood energy that had slept for countless ages frantically revived.
Ten thousand feet of withered wood sprouted branches and leaves, desolate barren mountains flourished with thousand-year-old Spirit Grass, the vitality of the vegetation reached its peak.
A mighty and vast title, resonating through heavens and myriad realms, pierced through one dimension barrier after another, echoing in every corner of the earth.
All creatures in the world trembled in their hearts, involuntarily bowing and kneeling.
“I, Wu Geng, prove the Dao today in the Southern Border, under the title of ’True Monarch of the West Pole, Nine Qi Cyan Age’…”
The moment the title landed.
The previously chaotic and obscured, disorderly heavenly secret immediate clarity.
All deliberately concealed, layer upon layer shielded causality threads exposed without any cover.
On the Spirit Mountain Lotus Platform, the True Buddha of Destiny and Unobstructed Buddha’s hearts simultaneously shook fiercely, shouting in unison, full of anger and astonishment.
“It’s Cheng Kong!”
“Actually transformed to Kuimu, this person must have long ago secretly connected with an external True Monarch Kuimu, deeply concealed intentions!”
The next instant.
At the far end of the eastern sky and water, separated by billions of spaces and times, Spirit Monarch Zhen Shui was the first to act!
A giant hand of chaotic void covering a domain of a hundred thousand light years suddenly spread out, carrying the overwhelming calamity of cold water, tightly locking that group of cyan gold light rooted in the Kuimu star, cutting off all retreat.
The True Buddha of Destiny and Unobstructed Buddha exchanged glances, a strong killing intent rising in their eyes.
“Fellow Daoist Zhen Shui has already acted, we should act too!”
“This person colluded secretly with external star constellation True Monarch, attempting to steal our Dao lineage’s golden position, such a traitorous disciple, even Wuchen should stand on our side!”
“As for the overseas True Monarch Kuimu, through layers of heaven dimension barriers, cannot descend to this side of the world in a short time, not a threat.”
“Last time, Cheng Kong, seeing a bad situation, managed to abandon his true body and reincarnated; this time, he has no bit of fortune!”
“Kill!”
In an instant, the two old Spirit Mountain True Buddhas resolved their thoughts, simultaneously urging their own Buddha Power.
Countless billions of Buddha lights rose, illuminating the entire dimension of heaven and earth, star tracks trembled, myriad Dao avoided.
“Destiny Buddha Seal!”
“Unobstructed Bodhi!”
Rumbling!!
The earth-shattering collision reverberated throughout the endless universe.
Two powers, enough to easily destroy billion Small Thousand Worlds, tore through the chaotic void, carrying a crushing momentum, straight towards Wu Geng in the Kuimu cyan light.
In the void.
Countless small worlds were continuously created and instantly collapsed in the collision of Buddha Power, the cycle of life and death captured in one blow.
Boundless destructive power swept across eight wilds and six harmonies, where it passed, all things vanished.
