If there is deception among it, Golden Cicada believes he can perceive it instantly and be entirely exempt.
"In the Great Abyss Origin Sea, there are many strong ones who can slay my Golden Cicada, but to say they could deceive or confuse my heart is nearly impossible."
"It seems indeed that fate and karma have arrived; this child should be the founding disciple of our [rit Buddha] lineage."
With this thought, Golden Cicada imdiately made a decision.
Poor second disciple of Buddha Venerable, who could have thought that the deception involved was not only there but that the fundantal deceit against him was more than just the Great Demon Tao before him.
The true culprit, or rather the mastermind behind the scenes, is actually Tao Qian, the Lord Suppressing Evil of the Spirit Treasure Sect.
Master Tao hid the half-brewing Future Buddha inheritance extrely well, naturally countering Golden Cicada.
In the Great Abyss, the one who can deceive him is possibly only Tao Qian.
By chance, he ran into it.
Golden Cicada, unaware of this, already formally regards Tao Buddha's son as a disciple in his heart and explains directly upon hearing:
"No worries, no worries!"
"I revealed my hand in that Zheng Country precisely to go to Ming Country."
"Within this country reside the most complicated forces, including the lineage of the Forbidden Mountain Lord; there are dozens of strong Daoist lineages and God Demon descendants warring with each other, with the common people suffering in distress and lantation everywhere. It is precisely for this poor monk to go, to resolve the grievances of each Daoist lineage and save the beings in distress."
"Though this trip may take so ti, for the swift, several years, for the slow a decade, yet my Buddha's rcy dictates that this poor monk must go."
Several words, without plainly stating any secrets.
But Tao Buddha's son, who already knew quite a bit, after hearing this could infer most of the unfinished aning in a single thought.
In large countries like Zhou, Song, and Qin on the Ten Thousand Gods Continent, the governing powers are already solid, all being All Heavens Buddhism, Daoist Sects, Innate Gods and Demons, and the like.
Each country is a tough nut to crack, even if Golden Cicada crashes headlong, he would sowhat suffer.
Thus, he decides to start with Ming Country, which is the most complex and yet most easily breached.
As for the ans?
Likely nothing fresh, but rather sowing discord, forming alliances, driving tigers to swallow wolves, capturing them all in one go.
Of course, the most important thing is to buy ti.
The true "trump card" of All Heavens Buddhism is not the dozen or so Talent Buddha Sons, nor the Divine Beast Guardians, or Golden Cicada, but rather [Tarnished Compassion Evil Dust] coming with ten trillion Buddha Lands, invading the Search God Realm.
An evil thing from the Buddha of Tarnished Compassion, to avoid triggering repulsion from the Search God Heavenly Dao Origin, must infiltrate slowly and will not erupt imdiately.
Only when fully fused, the Heavenly Dao Origin will not withstand it.
All things beco violent, all beings in chaos, only "Buddhist Law" can resolve it; who owns the Search God Realm then needs no further words.
"What if I can guess, these bald ones are fierce."
"Not only am I unable to defeat them, but I also can't disclose it; such a sinister grand plan must be set by the present Buddha Venerable. It's unspeakable that the old bald one is always watching, if I leak even a tiny bit, I'm afraid I'll face retaliation and no one would be able to protect then."
"Just hope the Great Abyss Gods, All Heaven Dao Veins can give so strength, don't let the bald ones succeed without even being able to resist."
"Giving a bit more ti would be good; I also ought to vigorously refine and comprehend the Great Dao. If my luck is good, I might enter the Daoist Transformation Realm faster than my original self, which would indeed be wonderful."
Tao Buddha's son has so nice fantasies in his heart.
But unknown if intentionally forgotten, his Heart Soul split from his original self, due to the difference in soul, entirely controlled by the original self, and regardless of entering the Daoist Transformation Realm, it changes nothing.
While he is indulging in illusions, before him Golden Cicada, rather directly, speaks again:
"Young friend, your overnight mastery of [Joyful Zen] proves your extraordinary talent, beyond what ordinary people could match, but alas, it's a pearl cast in the dark."
"With your abilities, if you were to cultivate the 'Great Treasure rit Scripture' this poor monk bestows upon you, it might not take long to reverse demon into Buddha and attain the Status of Arhat."
"Though the Secret Demon Sect is also a Great Abyss Daoist lineage, unfortunately, its ancestral land has long declined, with the second-generation patriarchs dispersing everywhere, truly showing no signs of revitalization... Moreover, this poor monk perceives that your ans of governing Liang Country are quite benevolent, not quite resembling an Evil Demon Cultivator; if this poor monk is not mistaken, your true heart is probably unwilling to cultivate demons, more inclined towards my Buddha, is that right?"
These words enter his ears.
Tao Buddha's son almost laughs his belly apart but displays impeccable acting on the surface.
He first appears startled, then shows signs of struggle, hesitatingly saying:
"Saint Monk is correct in his assumptions; the younger generation's admiration for Buddha is profound."
"Howbeit my master [Demon Lord Yin Zhou] has also been extrely kind to , imparting all Secret Demon thods eagerly, only hoping the younger generation could inherit his mantle in the future."
"If you wish to cultivate Buddhism, you can only wait for the next life."
...
When choosing his "Master of the Secret Demon Sect," Tao Qian had always been contemplating.
Of course, he couldn't betray Yuan Gong. Aside from the hierarchy not being adequate, the old man now only had a trace of his soul left. Never mind competing against Golden Cicada for a disciple, he probably couldn't even withstand a few words from the second disciple of Buddha Venerable.
Other slightly familiar second-generation ancestors of the Secret Demon Sect, like [Xu Yu Zi] Ancestor, are at least distantly related and shouldn't be hard.
After thinking it over, the Demon Lord Yin Zhou, who taught the Chaos Soul Splitting Technique to his original body, seed most suitable.
Why?
This Demon Lord, to avoid being troubled by the [Chaos Demon Ancestor], this innate god and demon, confined himself in the secret realm. Additionally, he had nurous old foes, more than a sea of stars, and was directly cut off from external contact. Who could be a better scapegoat?
Sure enough, upon hearing the na of Tao Qian's master, Golden Cicada's Unobstructed Heavenly Eyes imdiately lit up.
The smile on his face grew wider as he unabashedly said:
"I see!"
"I thought which ancestor of the Secret Demon Sect, upon seeing soone like you, a natural Buddha's son, wouldn't capture you to exchange for benefits in my Ultimate Happiness Pure Land but instead would painstakingly teach you the Secret Demon thod. It truly is thankless."
"If it's the Demon Lord Yin Zhou, then it makes sense."
"This Daoist friend caused a big trouble back in the Longevity Realm, and later involved himself with the karma of the Chaos Demon Ancestor. His mind is already chaotic, so it wouldn't be surprising for him to do anything."
"But this makes it more manageable. I alone can handle it; there's no need to trouble my master to intervene personally..."
Hearing this, Tao Buddha's son and his original body were once again shocked, experiencing once again the power of the Future Dharma.
Even though it hasn't fully materialized or displayed holy signs, it still managed to completely deceive soone of Golden Cicada's caliber.
Judging by his plans, he clearly intended to take Great Demon Tao as his first disciple.
For this, he didn't mind going against [Demon Lord Yin Zhou] and even had plans to request the presence of the contemporary Buddha Venerable.
The original's split body suddenly linked up for discussion in their hearts and souls:
"The karmic ties of destiny have been ford. If we follow him, we can use the resources of All Heavens Buddhism to strengthen ourselves, standing well above other Secret Demon Children; the grand plan can be achieved."
"You don't even need to say it. You, original body, have managed to hug many thick thighs, and now that I've finally encountered one, how can I let it slip? If it weren't a concern that being too direct would give it away, I'd want to call this saint monk 'master' right now and receive so greetings gifts."
Being one and the sa, they were, of course, equally cunning and shaless.
Golden Cicada, unaware of this, saw the demon child before him showing signs of interest and decisively asked again:
"My young friend, I ask you this."
"If I, a humble monk, could help you sever the disciple bond with Demon Lord Yin Zhou without harming him even a bit, and there are other benefits, would you be willing to turn against the demon and beco a Buddha, and enter my sect?"
These two sentences clearly signaled the main event.
Great Demon Tao once again delivered an outstanding performance, his face filled with conflict, his Dao heart swaying.
Within him, various anomalies erged, demon light and Buddha light entangled and clashed relentlessly.
But ultimately, the Buddha light surged forth, gaining the upper hand.
"I am willing!"
Thus, Golden Cicada received an extrely satisfactory answer.
The saint monk's face openly displayed joy as he laughed heartily and said:
"Good, good, good!"
"The Search God Realm is truly a blessed land for my enlightennt."
"Without having gone through any calamities, I've already acquired such a good disciple."
Hearing this last line, Tao Buddha's son, and Tao Qian's original body far away at the Ascending Immortal Star Acupoint, both felt a sudden halt in their hearts.
Then, there was a mutual foreboding unease, and Tao Buddha's son directly asked in his heart:
"Original body, are we about to cause big trouble?"
"Could it be that we are the first trial for this saint monk?"
"If we carelessly disrupt his grand plan and ruin his enlightennt, the multitude of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas from All Heavens Buddhism might co and gang up on us."
