Chapter 483 - 482: The Emergence of the East Buddha
Grand Thousand Upper Realm.
The arrival of the Sage opportunity was like a spring rain during the Awakening of Insects, bathing all beings and sweeping through every corner of the world.
Countless creatures looked at each other in confusion.
The vast majority did not understand what that mysterious aura represented.
Only those beings who had experienced the era of the arrival of the Sage opportunity understood that after seven hundred thousand years, a new Sage was about to overlook eternity again.
"It’s the Mortal World seat."
In the Great Qin Celestial Court within the Central Immortal Realm.
The ministers with overwhelming Cultivation had already gathered urgently at the Celestial Palace.
Ghost Valley Master presented the Celestial Book, which contained his deduced earth-shattering event.
In the deepest part of the Celestial Palace, a grand silhouette stood with his back to the ministers, unseen by anyone.
He quietly watched the Celestial Book, murmuring to himself, "So, the strange aura emanating from the Demon Realm indicates Nuwa has returned."
"She has just returned, and the Heavenly Dao has already descended with the Sage opportunity."
"It seems the Mortal World Sage seat still cannot do without her."
The tone of the Ancestral Dragon carried a gravity mixed with a slight worry.
"Alas, a new powerful competitor appearing out of nowhere is truly not good news." Ghost Valley Master also appeared helpless.
Though under normal circumstances.
Quasi-Saints participating in the competition for Sage positions usually choose based on their cultivated Dharma Gate.
For example, the East Buddha of the Western Heaven Buddha Country, the Quasi-Saint Mencius of the Confucian School, who cultivate the Dharma of Brightness and Righteousness, would only compete for Mortal World seats.
Such as Ksitigarbha who follows the Netherworld path, and he as the Ancestral Dragon attains Dao through the corpse, their targets are naturally the Underworld seats.
So on the surface, whether Nuwa occupies a Mortal World seat does not affect Great Qin.
But the problem is, this is based on the premise that each seat still has vacancies.
But if the Mortal World Sage seat is gone.
Then even Quasi-Saints like the East Buddha and Mencius, who are more suited for the Mortal World seat, would inevitably turn to compete for the Underworld seat!
Even though the chances of winning such a fight are slim.
But there’s no choice.
A Sage seat is something that can only be encountered, not sought.
Even with only a one in ten thousand chance, Quasi-Saints would do whatever it takes, pouncing like wolves.
So.
No matter whether it’s for Mortal World Quasi-Saints or Underworld Quasi-Saints.
The sudden appearance of a new competitor on either side.
Is not good news!
This is why, in the vast majority of cases, even the established Quasi-Saints do not wish to nurture their confidants into Quasi-Saints.
Just like the earlier Infinite Lotus Seed Buddha, who had actually long reached the pinnacle of Ancestral Immortal.
Yet could not comprehend his own Quasi-Saint Laws.
Are there few Quasi-Saints in the Western Heaven Buddha Country who can share their insights?
No, there are quite a few.
But no one would truly teach him the comprehension of Quasi-Saint Laws.
Because everyone knows that before one becomes a Sage, any new Quasi-Saint might become a formidable future enemy!
"Must accelerate the process of merging with Ying Gou."
"A Nuwa appears today, who knows how many Quasi-Saints will appear tomorrow..."
The Ancestral Dragon thought to himself, closing the Celestial Book, and said to the ministers, "I shall immediately enter seclusion, the military affairs shall be managed comprehensively by Lord Wu’an Bai Qi, the Celestial Court’s political affairs, headed by Shang Yang, and the gathering of information, further entrusted to Mister Ghost Valley Master."
"Unless in dire emergencies, do not disturb me!"
The Ancestral Dragon’s tone encompassed celestial might, reverberating not only throughout the Celestial Palace but also conveyed to every corner of the Great Qin Celestial Court.
Forcing countless subjects and civilians to kneel.
...
...
At the same time, in Little Western Heaven.
"It turns out the Sage opportunity has descended, Buddha, your opportunity has finally arrived!" Yellow Eyebrow trembled with excitement.
The East Buddha had long reached the rank of Extreme Quasi-Saint.
One could say.
The later the Sage opportunity comes, the greater its impact on the East Buddha.
Because once reaching Extreme Quasi-Saint, there is no more progress in cultivation.
The longer the delay, the more the gap between the other competitors and the East Buddha would close.
"Just so, the World Honored One has not yet emerged, with him not interfering, no one in the Buddha Country can rival you, Buddha!"
Yellow Eyebrow increasingly felt that this descent of the Sage opportunity was practically specially prepared for the East Buddha.
However, the East Buddha was not as happy as him.
"If my intuition is correct, Nuwa should have returned from the Demon Realm." He looked worried.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Yellow Eyebrow’s smile instantly froze, his eyebrows knotted into a line.
But quickly, he still declared with determination, "What if Nuwa returns, having forfeited the Sage position, even if she regains her Cultivation, she would at most be in the Extreme Quasi-Saint ranks."
"She may not necessarily have a sure victory!"
Once, Lady Nuwa indeed had the strength to overlook all beings as ants.
But that was given to her by the Sage position.
Now, as long as she does not become a Sage, she is no different from other Extreme Quasi-Saints.
"Let it be so."
The East Buddha still harbored unrest in his heart, but at this point, there was no choice but to go on despite the worries.
He slowly stepped out from the sea of clouds, his entire body radiated with Buddha Light, walking barefoot, his true form enormous.
"Summon the Holy Soldier into the world!"
The East Buddha suddenly looked towards the depths of the Forbidden Realm, where under his call, a violent tremor occurred.
Amidst the surging clouds, ten thousand rays merged into one.
An overwhelming pressure that felt suffocating instantly swept across the entire Little Western Heaven, causing countless monks to bow, trembling in fear.
Accompanied by a seven-colored Treasure Tower that fell into the East Buddha’s palm, parting the clouds and dispersing the mist.
Yellow Eyebrow’s eyes widened in disbelief, "This is... This is the Past Buddha’s Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower? Buddha, you?"
The East Buddha replied with a calm demeanor, "Though the Past Buddha has gone, given the present grandeur of the Buddha Country, he would naturally not wish to remain behind the scenes for too long."
Yellow Eyebrow froze, only now truly realizing how terrifying the internal strife within the Buddha Country was...
But he could not figure out.
Regardless of whether it’s the Past Buddha or the current World Honored One, they are already the Supreme Sages.
One could say.
As long as they do not touch upon great karma or provoke the Heavenly Dao Tribulation.
They can remain forever undying!
Yellow Eyebrow couldn’t understand, what could Sages possibly desire?
"Perhaps, only when one reaches that Realm can they understand greater secrets..."
"Is that why Nuwa chose to transform Dao and cultivate anew?"
Yellow Eyebrow suddenly had a revelation, his whole body emitting a faint glow, he joyfully looked at the East Buddha, "Buddha, it seems I am about to enter the Quasi-Sage Realm..."
The East Buddha showed an appreciative smile, and with the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, he stepped out of the Little Western Heaven.
Leaving Yellow Eyebrow, within the Forbidden Realm, in seclusion to comprehend and impact the Quasi-Sage Realm.
...
Meanwhile, in the Grand Thousand Upper Realm.
The Five Great Immortal Realms.
Each began to appear with surging Supreme Yang Qi.
These Supreme Yang Qi, exuding immense power, floated in the spaces between heaven and earth, unreachable by all beings.
Only Quasi-Saints could come into contact with it.
It was precisely with the appearance of these Supreme Yang Qi that massive oppression gradually pervaded various places,
