Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2435 - 214: Ascending to the Cloud Sky Realm (2)
Previously on Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant...
Teaming up alongside the Western and Northern Great Bodhisattvas to confront the adversary, he fully grasped the horrifying power of True Man Taiyi. Even as he reflects on it today, assurance in battling him still evades him.
The entity inside the Reclining Buddha entered an unusual quiet for a brief instant before inquiring gradually:
"What background does this True Man Taiyi possess?"
The Western Great Bodhisattva held nothing back and promptly shared the details he had collected:
"Legends suggest he hails from the Silkworm Dragon Realm as a disciple of the previous Realm Master slain by the Buddha Lord. In the prior Cloud Sky Realm conflict, he rose to fame... Earlier, the Northern Great Bodhisattva chased him relentlessly, yet he slipped away. We never imagined his power would surge so dramatically within merely three to four centuries. None of us three can rival him, and he has even shifted form to rule as the Ruins Master of Zhang’s Ruins."
The tone from within the Reclining Buddha quieted briefly, then declared:
"Avoid venturing to Zhang’s Ruins..."
The Western Great Bodhisattva and his companions felt a touch of confusion, yet as the tone offered no clarification, they refrained from probing and simply assented.
"Leave this individual to me; no need for concern."
The enigmatic tone from the Reclining Buddha continued, before posing another question:
"Any other significant events of late?"
After some reflection, the Eastern Great Bodhisattva abruptly interjected:
"Lately, the Eastern Glazed Buddha Realm has sealed its borders once more; it's unknown what moves they might be making."
"The Glazed Buddha Realm has isolated itself anew?"
The majestic tone emerging from the Reclining Buddha, typically serene, now bore a subtle trace of surprise.
The Eastern Great Bodhisattva replied honestly:
"Yes, during the previous activation of the Ten Thousand Buddha Formation in the Eastern Glazed Buddha Realm, it shielded the Cloud Sky Realm, followed by opening its gates to accept numerous followers. Fresh reports indicate they have closed them off again. Buddha Lord, our aim to seize the four great realms of Duanhai Cliff faces the Eastern Glazed Buddha Realm as perhaps the greatest barrier..."
"I see."
The tone from the Reclining Buddha restored its tranquil poise, then steered the conversation elsewhere with a query:
"Has the trial for the prospective Buddhas been resolved?"
The Reclining Buddha directed its attention faintly, as if settling upon the Western Great Bodhisattva.
The Western Great Bodhisattva responded without delay:
"Six took part in this trial, with most showing strong results, save for Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva... whose words came off as reckless, missing the grace befitting the Buddha Lord."
The Moon Truth Great Bodhisattva standing behind him creased his brow lightly upon hearing that:
"Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva transcends self or human form; everything stems from his essence, so how could his words be called reckless?"
Serving as the patron for Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva, he naturally desired for Wisdom Calm Bodhisattva to press on.
The Western Great Bodhisattva fell silent at this. With a casual snap of his fingers, an image materialized in the emptiness, depicting the figure on the other end guffawing madly before an ape wielding a staff smashed his head and Golden Body.
The Moon Truth Great Bodhisattva's expression turned grim at once, and he held his tongue.
As the embodiment of the Buddha Lord's prestige for the Supreme True Buddha, such antics utterly lack solemnity.
Conduct like that certainly cannot inspire awe.
"So now, only Wisdom Fate, Wisdom Spirit... and five more persist."
The Reclining Buddha tallied them leisurely, then murmured:
"We cannot afford delays."
The Great Bodhisattvas showed no laxity and voiced their compliance.
"Regarding that True Man Taiyi and the Eastern Glazed Buddha Realm situation..."
The Western Great Bodhisattva ventured a gentle prompt.
The tone from the Reclining Buddha hesitated for a few moments, then articulated deliberately:
"This time, I shall handle it personally..."
At these words, every Great Bodhisattva shuddered violently!
Exchanging glances, each caught a flicker of shock in the others' gazes.
…
Whoosh——
A beam of blue radiance abruptly stopped, hovering amid the endless emptiness.
From it, Wang Ba's form stepped out, his eyes fixed ahead.
Though he had beheld the majestic Chaos Origin Substance encircling the Cloud Sky Realm before, encountering it once more filled him with awe, stirring deep emotions that left him speechless.
"If only the Little Cang World could remain in this place..."
Such an idea surfaced unbidden in Wang Ba's thoughts.
In truth, among the four great realms of Duanhai Cliff, just the Cloud Sky Realm and Eastern Glazed Buddha Realm endured.
The empty expanse could readily host the Little Cang World.
Bathed in the unending Chaos Origin Substance present here, the Little Cang World would escape the dread of depletion in Chaos Origin Substance, steering clear of inevitable doom.
Envisioning that moment's arrival, Wang Ba positioned himself amid the immense Chaos Origin Substance, mulling over ideal spots for the Little Cang World and ways to integrate with the Cloud Sky Realm and Eastern Glazed Buddha Realm...
Yet clarity returned to him swiftly.
He gave a wry shake of his head, contemplated briefly, and rather than proceeding straight to the Cloud Sky Realm, veered directly toward the site of ’Duanhai Cliff’.
Resembling the Immortal Pass.
From a distance, next to the Cloud Sky Realm and its plentiful Chaos Origin Substance, no barriers appeared, just an infinite, desolate vacuum.
It was only upon passing the Cloud Sky Realm and approaching Duanhai Cliff that a towering barrier loomed abruptly, its heights and depths immeasurable, appearing boundless at first sight...
Wang Ba glided noiselessly across this massive barrier.
He detected the complex, circulating enigmatic golden patterns embedded in it.
Through his senses, the face of Duanhai Cliff toward the Realm Sea mirrored the Immortal Pass side almost perfectly.
Nevertheless, even now, with his grasp of Buddhism’s four primary sects, the enigmas of Duanhai Cliff elude full comprehension.
"Precisely how did they construct something like this?"
Staring at the barrier ahead, Wang Ba issued an uncommon sigh.
This barrier not just blocked the Little Cang World’s chance at freedom but also confined myriad trillions of lives within the Sea of Chaos Realm, denying them human embodiment and leaving no haven upon demise.
