Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2520 242: Banished Immortal (Part 3)

As the Lord of Six Paths tumbled down, a flicker of doubt gleamed in True Man Gai's gaze.

He had dealt with Xiahou Demon previously and understood that the Lord of Six Paths served as his dwelling place, but the sight unfolding now far surpassed his predictions.

Among the Great Bodhisattvas, those with the most profound Cultivation Bases—Ridi and Moon Truth—could bear the immense pressure no longer, bellowing furiously toward the heavens:

"We never betrayed the True Buddha!"

"Tianshang, you are unjust!"

These desperate pleas and roars brought only a merciful Buddhist incantation from Tianshang Buddha Lord high above the Sky Dome:

"Supreme True Buddha, the seeds of demonic hearts are deeply planted in you; now is the moment to cleanse your sins and achieve great enlightenment."

His words had barely landed when Ridi and Moon Truth successively morphed into streams of Merit Buddha Light, plunging into the Lotus Buddha Country. There, the Buddha Light surged intensely, causing the Buddha Country to expand swiftly.

At this sight, the Mahayana cultivators exchanged glances filled with shock.

Seven Great Bodhisattvas had fallen one by one!

Where on earth was Xiahou Demon?

Heavenly Monarch Chao couldn't hold back and bellowed:

"Tianshang, you have truly entered the heretical path, not even sparing your own people!"

Facing this outcry, Tianshang Buddha Lord simply shook his head faintly and responded with steady calm:

"Although they have the skin of a Buddha, they lack the heart of a Buddha. Even though I have given them the chance to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, they still cannot comprehend in this moment. Since today I must rebuild the Pure Land of Extreme Joy, it will start with them..."

Upon hearing this, True Man Gai retorted in fury:

"These people were all bewitched by you, contributing immense power to the growth of your Supreme True Buddha, yet now you discard them like useless millstones after the donkey is dead. How dare you claim to become a Buddha?"

Tianshang Buddha Lord offered no rebuttal to these words.

Compassion filled his face, his tone resolute and firm.

In a deep murmur, he declared:

"Great chaos precedes great order. Without thunderous methods, even boundless compassion proves futile. My actions today bear sin in this era, but they forge merit for countless ages ahead... Thus, my heart holds no shame."

"Heretical demon!"

True Man Gai could no longer restrain himself and roared in rage.

Without a second thought, he spun around, bowed deeply to Bai Lechan standing behind him, and called out softly:

"Please, Patriarch, make your move!"

In that instant, as though responding to True Man Gai's reverent summons,

Bai Lechan's long-closed eyes snapped open.

Within them lingered a chill of frost and a haughty gaze from above.

His divine visage grew even more remote and impassive right then.

Sensing some presence, 'He' tilted his head upward slightly, fixing his stare on Tianshang Buddha Lord beyond the Lotus Buddha Country.

His gaze remained serene, bordering on frigid.

His voice bore a haughty iciness unlike Bai Lechan's, laced with a subtle hint of astonishment:

"Human Immortal Fourth Layer?"

"Within the Third Realm Sea, there's actually a Buddhism Cultivator like you?"

"How did you achieve this?"

Standing with hands clasped behind his back, he casually raised a hand mid-speech and tapped lightly at the lotus slowly sealing above the Buddha Country.

The Buddha Country that had baffled all Mahayana cultivators parted wide under this gentle tap from 'Bai Lechan'!

"What is happening?"

Beholding this, Heavenly Monarch Chao, Jiao, and Lady Hua stared at True Man Gai in utter astonishment.

True Man Gai's face twisted with complex emotions; a faint sigh flickered in his eyes as he whispered a bombshell secret that stunned all present:

"Liaochan is actually the reincarnation of a Banished Immortal from the Second Realm Sea."

"Should have awakened Innate Wisdom only after Cultivation Ascension, but had to awaken early because of Tianshang Buddha Lord's matter... This is also my reliance to come here."

"Banished Immortal?!"

Hearing this revelation, shock and joy surged through everyone.

They instantly grasped why True Man Gai stayed so composed, never dreaming of such a hidden trump card... Indeed, the Cloud Sky Realm stood as an ancient, renowned Great Realm in the Third Realm Sea.

All of them inwardly exclaimed in admiration.

At the same time, Tianshang Buddha Lord beyond the Lotus Buddha Country revealed a shocked expression.

The transformation in Bai Lechan and the effortless finger-tap that breached the Buddha Country stirred a faint unease within him.

Yet before he could act, a profound golden hue flickered in Bai Lechan's eyes. With a flick of his fingers, strands of Geng Metal Sword Light swirled around him.

It twirled gracefully through the void before shooting through the lotus overhead, morphing into a Dragon Head Nail that hurtled straight at Tianshang Buddha Lord.

The assault struck with blinding speed, the shift too abrupt—even Tianshang Buddha Lord failed to respond in time.

When realization hit, the Dragon Head Nail had already affixed itself soundlessly to his Golden Body.

With a sharp 'crack', fissures spiderwebbed across the chest of Tianshang Buddha Lord's Golden Body!

The massive Dharma Aspect visibly contracted back to normal size in moments.

Ignoring his own plight, Tianshang Buddha Lord fixed suspicious eyes on Bai Lechan and demanded harshly:

"Who are you? Within the Third Realm Sea, how can there be someone like you?"

'Bai Lechan' replied with tranquil poise:

"Ordinary cultivators do not deserve to know my name, but you have defied the rules of the Third Realm Sea, reaching the Human Immortal Fourth Layer—such existences are exceedingly rare across the entire Third Realm Sea."

"You at least have the qualification to know my name."

"I am from Chen Palace Cloud Sky Vein..."

Before he could finish, Tianshang Buddha Lord cut in sharply:

"How have you defied the rules of the Third Realm Sea?"

'Bai Lechan' furrowed his brow faintly, irked by the interruption, yet maintained his calm as he answered:

"I have not defied the rules; the Reincarnation Body after all has reached Mahayana for too short a time... But the means I rely on, there's no need to tell you."
