The news from the Mystical Pearl Avatar quickly allowed both Tao Buddha’s son and his original to guess Golden Cicada’s subsequent plans.
To a certain extent, it was already quite obvious.
"This Saint Monk, his thods are sowhat vulgar."
"He probably plans to have marry into so major power as a uxorilocal son-in-law, facilitating connections for him."
"When the Emotion Tribulation cos, it will also conveniently push the Buddhist Sect’s great plan forward, officially enlightening into the sect, achieving multiple goals in one move."
"If it were my original Tao True Monarch, he would resist such manipulation to the death, crying about how his purity cannot be sullied, but now inside the realm is I, the Demon Child... the more the rrier, hehe."
Tao Buddha’s son half engaged in banter, half joyfully finished speaking.
Not caring about the original’s face turning dark, he directly grasped the rit Golden Hoop and chanted aloud:
"Amitabha!"
"Since entering Tang Country and worshiping the Buddhist Sect, so tidying up is in order."
With that, this fellow’s Buddha Light surged, and soon he transford into a peculiar Buddha Son, with a golden hoop on his head, a face full of devilish traits yet mixed with intense Buddha Nature.
Without hesitation, he draped the Joyful Kasaya over his body, then held onto the Purple Gold Buddha Bowl in one hand, and the Great Treasure rit Scripture in the other.
Anyone who saw him would think he was a newly converted Talent Buddha Son whose devilish nature hadn’t been completely eradicated.
"What a fine appearance!"
"Make sure you see clearly, original, when you give birth to that Tao Buddha Child one day, you can outfit them just like this."
"Wherever they go, they’ll manage to fit in."
After saying this, he then used the Buddha Heart Wisdom Root obtained from Tao True Monarch, directly summoning a rit Cloud.
Sitting on it, he went straight into the territory of Tang Country.
On the way, he maintained communication with the Divination Worm, inquiring about any suitable targets for conquest around Liang Country.
They must match their own strength, aid the worm in growing swiftly, and benefit Tao Buddha’s son.
Luck was on his side, as a response ca shortly:
"Around Liang Country, there is a large nation and four small nations, but the most suitable for conquest now is that Golden Country."
"Golden Country is a vile neighbor, its territory slightly larger than that of Liang Country, with a population of several tens of millions, ten counties, one hundred cities, rich resources, and nurous spiritual materials... Previously, it had a plethora of Gods and Demons, mostly Wild Gods and Immoral Sacrifices, but has recently been entirely seized by an ’God Demon Descendant’ from the Outer Realm, who killed and devoured all the Wild Gods, establishing dominance."
"This demon, known as the ’Headless Deity Lord,’ has a father who is the Outer Realm’s Acquired God Demon War God Xingtian. This God Demon seized the mont when the Mountain and Sea Great Realm was in turmoil, leading a portion of the clan from his father’s Headless People into the Search God Realm, intending to establish rit here to complete his headless condition."
"Though the demon is Xingtian’s son, he hasn’t cultivated the War God’s thods; instead, he turned to the worship of the Chaos Demon Ancestor, acquiring another kind of Demon God cultivation thod that allows him to form a complete head, escaping the condition of the ’Headless People.’"
"For this reason, father-son relations have been disharmonious for many years."
"Though the Headless Deity Lord has not yet comprehended Daoist Transformation, his Dharma Body and bloodline are extraordinary, and ordinary Daoist Transformation cannot hurt him. Under his command are dozens from the ’Headless People,’ each possessing the War God’s Strange Power to tear Great Strength Demons and crush the Asura Army."
"Due to the Headless Deity Lord’s excessively violent disposition and bizarre thods, the ordinary people within Golden Country suffer bitterly, their Heart Souls sunk, only wishing for liberation. Should a Human Dao royal army rise and destroy the Evil Demons, not only would the country’s territory fall easily into hands, but the faith of several tens of millions would beco extrely fervent."
...
Accompanied by this detailed secret, the primary appearance of the headless deity slowly erged before Tao Qian’s eyes:
An ancient giant-like dharma body, even not transford in its usual state, reaches several tens of ters high.
Bulky yet robust, the entire body glimrs with a scarlet-yellow oily sheen.
The lower body is covered with skin from so God Demon around the genital region, while the upper body is encased in True Dragon Armor.
The huge head appears as though cut by so axe, leaving only half, which is quite terrifying.
Further down, two nipples have transford into eyes, and the navel into a mouth aperture.
It can see and speak, truly bizarre.
One hand wields a fierce and ancient Divine Axe, the other a Bronze Shield.
Wherever the fiendish gleam in its eyes reaches, all creatures who see it will tremble with fear, terrified to death on the spot.
Tao Buddha’s son, although not frightened, couldn’t help but lant:
"Look at this, wasn’t the Search God Realm supposed to be on the verge of breaking? The best place to blend in?"
"I finally seized Liang Country, and then any random vile neighbor is such an existence? Not even entered Daoist Transformation, yet Daoist Transformation cannot harm him. If this one truly enters Daoist Transformation, wouldn’t it be even scarier?"
"And this one’s background, if my mory serves correctly, that War God Xingtian is a terrifyingly renowned figure within the Mountain and Sea Great Realm; thankfully, father and son are disharmonious, or it wouldn’t be plotting against him, but him wanting to devour anyti."
"After entering the world, I’ve had much luck, and my thods are still decent, yet it’s still a common mix; other Secret Demon Children probably aren’t much better off."
"Hmm? Them not mixing well is most fortuitous, maybe in the future I’ll call out and they’ll all co to seek shelter under . Speaking of which, this earlier idle move I made, just waiting for the key mont to let that good sister-in-law of mine take action..."
...
Within the Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint, Tao Qian saw the Demon Child body whose thoughts began to wildly drift, his face even darker, unable to resist reminding:
"Stop delaying, hurry to Tang Country to borrow troops."
"The Mountain and Sea Realm is currently in chaos due to the invasion of external Gods and Demons, but none among the Mountain and Sea Gods is easily provoked. Recently, Aunt Bai Yin ntioned that figures like ’Emperor Wa,’ ’Emperor Mother,’ and ’Ancient Three Saint Emperors,’ those innate Gods and Demons who’ve attained Dao within the Mountain and Sea Realm, have already set out, bound to calm things soon."
"That War God Xingtian may have no ti to care for his son now, but it’s not to say he won’t in a while."
"You want to swallow his foundation, now is the best ti, let the All Heavens Buddhism take the front..."
Tao Buddha’s son seed to be waiting for the original to say these things.
Upon hearing them, he instantly burst into loud laughter, replying:
"Good good good!"
"As expected of my original, as cunning and shaless as I am."
"Rest assured, I’m not foolish. If I can’t borrow the Buddha soldiers, even if you urge to provoke, I would be unwilling."
After saying this, the auspicious cloud beneath him glided across the sky, officially entering the borders of the Tang Kingdom.
After all, being completely ruled by the All Heavens Buddhism, the original appearance of this country is unknown. Now it seems, it is already a land of Buddha.
The scenery within is sowhat similar to what Tao Qian’s original self saw during the struggle against the Arhats of the Demon Buddha Temple in the Longevity Realm: the "Earthly Buddha Country."
Of course, in any dinsion, it is ten to a hundred tis better.
Though it cannot match the "Ten Trillion Buddha Lands" of the Western Heavenly Bliss, it certainly possesses a glimpse of form and spirit.
Any other Daoist lineage inheritors or God Demon descendants with slightly lesser cultivation and intelligence would be assimilated within a few days of treading here, converting to the Buddhist sect.
Not long after Tao Qian entered the borders, there was only a bit of heart soul connection left with the Divination Worm.
The Divination Worm Silk temporarily couldn’t break through the Buddha-transford territory of the Tang Kingdom.
"Alas, a clever woman cannot cook without rice."
"Even with such a heavenly alien as the Divination Worm, it cannot grow rapidly again temporarily, and naturally, it cannot assist ."
"It seems this ti, borrowing soldiers must succeed."
Having made up his mind, Tao Buddha’s son didn’t dawdle anymore.
He directly rode the Joyful Auspicious Cloud toward the deepest territory of the Tang Kingdom’s Buddha Land.
There is where the All Heavens Buddhism is stationed, Little Ling Mountain.
In the mountain, there is the Ten Thousand Buddha Arena, nad the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
Inside the temple, countless Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas have descended and projected avatars, temporarily transforming into clay statues, waiting for the Great Plan to unfold.
Although Tao Buddha’s son has transford into the likeness of the Buddha’s son, he is absolutely not qualified to enter the temple. He knows and is unwilling to truly go in, lest he gets seen through by that heap of Great Divine Power possessors.
The place he truly wants to go is the Spirit Palace at the foot of the mountain.
The master of the palace is an extraordinary monk who cultivates both Dao and Buddhism, nad Jin Tuo Monk.
This monk is an avatar, and his original has a very special status in the All Heavens Buddhism, with a rather mysterious origin.
However, his original is a friend of the Golden Cicada.
The Golden Cicada ntioned in the rit Scripture: If in need of help, one can go to the Spirit Palace at the foot of the mountain to find Jin Tuo Monk.
It’s quite clear that this is a connection thoughtfully arranged by a good master as a backdoor.
It is peculiar indeed. On his way deep into the Tang Kingdom, Tao Qian could see various Arhat Temples and Bodhisattva Palace Temples everywhere. Powerful Source Qi chanisms could be clearly sensed within, yet no one ca out to stop Tao Qian.
His "Buddha’s son guise" was very lifelike, with the clear aura of the rit Golden Hoop.
Yet he did not encounter a single inspection, how could this be possible?
If it were other cultivators with such an encounter, they would certainly panic and possibly turn back and flee.
Tao Qian was different; the deeper he went, the more joyous he appeared.
"Original self, this affair is assured."
"As I guessed before, the Golden Cicada intentionally left a backdoor path for , luring deeply in until there’s no chance to regret."
"Wonderful, simply wonderful."
"Hurry and nurture the Tao Buddha Child; such a good master shouldn’t be disappointed."
...
No sooner had the Buddha’s son’s body muttered that, suddenly ahead appeared a Spirit Palace’s glorious treasure palace, lined with jewel-laden halls.
Before he could take a close look, an old monk suddenly appeared in front of the mountain gate, calling to him from afar:
"That Buddha’s son, I see you wear the rit Golden Hoop, can it be that you are the well-settled disciple of the Golden Cicada?"
"If so, co over for a talk."
Upon hearing the call, Tao Qian went to look at the old monk.
There was nothing particularly strange about his appearance — an old Human Clan monk, except for a golden lump of flesh bulging from his forehead, with golden light surging within, most mysterious.
Since entering the Search God Realm, Tao Buddha’s son had t many powerful beings and could be considered well-traveled and fearless.
Yet at this mont, rely eting the old monk’s gaze, he felt a sensation of being seen through.
"What on earth is this Jin Tuo Monk’s background?"
"With this one glance, I fear all my efforts in disguise and transformation were in vain."
Though he knew he was seen through, Tao Qian still approached with a beaming smile.
According to etiquette, he respectfully perford a Buddhist salutation, then without intending to exchange pleasantries, directly cut to the chase, saying:
"Greetings, senior!"
"I was once a Secret Demon Child, later, thanks to eting a Saint Monk, I understood my true aspirations. However, my demon nature is deeply ingrained. Even with this rit Golden Hoop, it cannot be completely eradicated for now. Therefore, I wish to emulate the Saint Monk in delivering sentient beings and accumulating rit."
"This is exactly why I seek you out in the Tang Kingdom, revered senior."
"To make things clear to you, I oversee Liang Country, which has a wicked neighbor known as the Headless Deity Lord. This fiend is violent by nature, oppressing all people. I wish to rally compassionate Buddha soldiers to enlighten him. Alas, my Dao Heng is shallow, and I command no Extraordinary Army, truly lacking power. Thus, I co here, seeking your assistance, senior."
Having finished speaking, Jin Tuo Monk was slightly taken aback.
And it’s no wonder. In front of this Spiritual Mountain Gate, he’s co and gone with countless people.
But one so shaless was indeed the first.
