Chapter 2 Forbidden Zone: Let's Bear with Him for Now
Amitabha Buddha, the Great Emperor, in spacetime
Amitabha Buddha sits serenely on a nine-tiered lotus throne, spewing lotus blossoms from his mouth, expounding the supreme Dharma on the sacred mountain in the Western Desert. His chanting resounds far and wide, illuminating the entire three thousand worlds.
After he finished preaching, he let out a soft sigh.
Ananda, a disciple of the Buddha, looked puzzled and stepped forward, clasping his hands together, and asked, "Why does the Buddha sigh? The secret to becoming an immortal is now hanging in the heavens. As the great emperor of this world, the Buddha is the one with the greatest hope of ascending to immortality. In the future, the ascension of our entire sect will be within our grasp."
Amitabha Buddha held a flower between his fingertips, his expression compassionate and merciful, and slowly spoke: "Although the opportunity to become an immortal has appeared, this is also a time of great turmoil."
"The supreme beings of the forbidden zone are all eyeing this matter with covetous intent, and are restless because of this change. I fear that war will break out again and lives will be lost once more."
"Buddha has mercy!"
The monks in the hall clasped their hands in unison, their hearts filled with emotion.
Ananda, still unconvinced, said with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, "Buddha, you are overthinking this. With the power of our Buddhist sect and the fact that you, Great Emperor, are invincible in this world, even if the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone has malicious intentions, how dare you act rashly? You are about to become an immortal, and you should be striving for progress. Why be so timid and hesitant?"
The moment those words were spoken, all the monks in the hall were astonished.
Amitabha Buddha's fingers, which were holding up a flower, paused slightly, the chanting gradually subsided, and although the Buddha's light around him remained gentle, it now carried an undeniable air of majesty.
He sighed softly, his tone calm yet carrying supreme authority: "Foolish child, strength leads to ruin, and pride leads to chaos. The path to immortality begins with cultivating the mind, then the body. You are restless and impatient, ignorant of the suffering of all beings, and unfit for the Great Dao."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle ray of Buddha's light swept across the room.
"You are punished by being confined to the temple to chant sutras ten thousand times, calm your mind and meditate, purify your restlessness, and understand the suffering of all living beings. You may return when your mind is at peace."
Ananda was taken aback and wanted to argue further, but when he met Amitabha Buddha's gaze, which was as deep as the starry sea, he finally lowered his head and put his hands together: "Disciple... obeys."
Upon seeing this, all the monks bowed their heads, and not one of them dared to say another word.
On Mount Ling, only the faint chanting of Buddhist hymns rose again before returning to silence.
Ruthless Emperor Time and Space
The Ruthless Great Emperor remained indifferent to the heavens above, his expression detached from beginning to end.
She has her own principles and her own convictions.
For her, becoming an immortal was never the ultimate pursuit, but merely a pawn or a path to achieving her wishes.
She exhausted all time and defied the laws of history, seeking only one outcome—to bring her brother back to her side.
At this moment, she had more important things to do.
Before she attained enlightenment, the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land secretly attacked her, and afterwards stirred up a dark upheaval, causing bloodshed in the world.
Now that her cultivation is stable and her combat power is unparalleled, she has come today to settle old scores.
"Human Emperor, retreat at once!"
As soon as she arrived, the Holy Spirit spoke to her, his tone filled with apprehension.
"Indeed, the opportunity to become an immortal has now appeared, so why bother making a fuss here?"
His words already betrayed his weakness.
Over the long years, this once sacred holy land has fallen into ruin, with only two or three people possessing the power of an emperor, making it impossible for them to contend with her.
The Ruthless Emperor remained silent. Beneath the bronze ghost mask, his eyes were calm and unwavering, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
She gazed at the sacred land before her, and without the slightest hesitation, slowly drew her sword.
A single sword strike cleaved the entire mountain range in two!
The endless holy spirits were all annihilated by this sword, their blood staining the ancestral land, leaving it barren.
The news reached other areas inaccessible by life.
"This madman dares to slaughter in a forbidden zone!"
The supreme ruler roared in fury.
"Enough. The secret to becoming an immortal is already before us. There's no need to complicate things further. Consider them unlucky."
With those words, all anger subsided instantly.
These supreme beings have lived for countless ages, all for the sake of becoming immortals.
Now that the Heavenly Curtain has appeared in the world, no one is willing to offend this human emperor for this matter. Even the Stone Emperor of the Undying Mountain chooses to watch coldly and remain silent.
Void Emperor Time and Space
The Void Emperor let out a long sigh, and the solemnity between his brows eased slightly.
Since the celestial canopy hung high above the nine heavens, those supreme beings who had been lurking in the forbidden zones of life all withdrew their desire to leave the world, and the frequent dark disturbances that had occurred before came to an abrupt end, finally giving him a chance to catch his breath.
He stood in the Ji family courtyard, his gaze transcending time and space, looking at the two golden characters "Become an Immortal" flowing in the sky. His expression was complex, and he sighed softly, "So many conflicts and calamities in the world have been destroyed by these two words 'Become an Immortal'."
"Father," the eldest son of the Void Emperor beside him asked, looking puzzled, "Now that the secret to becoming an immortal is so close at hand, isn't this a great thing for our human race and for all cultivators? Why do you sigh instead?"
The Void Emperor turned his head, his gaze deep and unfathomable: "What I worry about is not the attainment of immortality itself, but that this so-called method of attaining immortality is a heinous and destructive technique involving slaughter and sacrifice."
"Think about it, those supreme beings in forbidden zones, each one devoid of humanity, living on for eternity. If there truly were such a shortcut, what wouldn't they do to become immortals?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest son's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he was momentarily speechless, his eager anticipation dampened by his father's words.
Meanwhile, deep within the Undying Mountain not far away, several supreme divine thoughts quietly intertwined, their tone revealing excitement and urgency.
"The opportunity to become an immortal is now before you, everyone! After countless ages of waiting, hope has finally arrived!"
"Yes, after enduring so many years, could we really glimpse the path to immortality and break free from the shackles of lifespan?"
The Time and Space of the Great Emperor Wushi
"Wu Shi, do you truly intend to drive us to utter extermination and take things to the extreme?!"
Deep within the underworld, a supreme roar resounded throughout the universe, filled with resentment and bitterness.
Since the beginning of time, when he attained enlightenment and became emperor, he has kept a close eye on the underworld. No matter whether the underworld stirs up darkness and turmoil, he has relentlessly pursued it without any mercy.
Now that the Heavenly Canopy has appeared in the world, the once-in-a-millennium opportunity to become an immortal is right before our eyes. Yet this child Wushi still insists on relentlessly pursuing us, clearly intending to make them die with their eyes wide open, not even giving them a chance to glimpse the path to immortality!
The Great Emperor Wushi stood above the Underworld, his figure as upright as Mount Kunlun, his voice as resounding as a bell, utterly calm: "As long as I am the Great Emperor of this world, the Underworld shall never be allowed to rise again!"
Before he finished speaking, his attack became even fiercer. His imperial might crashed down like a tsunami. The two supreme beings of the underworld were already in a sorry state, covered in wounds, and were on the verge of collapse after just two strikes.
Wu Shi's combat power has become so formidable that it is comparable to a Chaos Body who has attained Dao, and it is simply beyond the reach of the two of them.
"Fellow Daoists from other forbidden zones, come quickly to our aid! Join us in slaying this child, drinking the blood of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, and sharing the opportunity to become immortal!"
Another supreme being from the underworld abandoned all dignity and desperately pleaded for help from the various forbidden zones, his voice filled with despair.
At that very moment, deep within the Undying Mountain, a divine thought pierced through the heavens and spread throughout all forbidden zones, seemingly provoking: "Fellow Daoists, are you really going to stand by and watch this brat Wushi act so arrogantly, slaughtering his fellow Daoists?"
However, he was met with complete silence.
Anyone with eyes can see that Wushi's combat power is already heaven-defying. If seven or eight supreme beings don't join forces, they won't be able to pose the slightest threat to him.
The long-awaited opportunity to become an immortal is finally here, and no one is willing to gamble their imperial destiny and immortal fate for the sake of the underworld.
