"It truly is a case of a mantis stalking a cicada, with an oriole behind. However, whether it is your God Race, our Dragon Race, or the Buddhist Sect, none are vegetarians. Having reached our realm of cultivation and comprehended spatial rules, none of us can hide from one another. We all came here harboring the same purpose. Let us simply not fight for the time being."
Ah Huan Dragon Emperor looked at Bodhisattva Baogen and spoke.
"Ah Huan Dragon Emperor, your words are amiss. My Buddhist Sect is vegetarian and never consumes the food of flesh and blood." Bodhisattva Baogen pressed his palms together, "We are the absolute epitome of kindness and compassion."
"Great Monk, let us speak plainly before clear-sighted people. What exactly did you just do? You refined a Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect, who came here to cultivate, into your Cave Heaven, intending to plunder his Three Thousand Great Daos. I saw it all clearly. This is a rare fortuitous encounter. How about it? Meeting entails sharing a portion; give me a slice of the pie."
Son of God Yaoli said with a half-smile.
"Son of God Yaoli is joking. That Supreme Elder of the Taiyi Sect, Taihantian, is merely obstinate and unenlightened. My Buddhist Sect, holding the intention of delivering people through compassion, merely wished for him to forsake evil and return to righteousness, pursuing kindness wholeheartedly."
Bodhisattva Baogen's expression remained unchanged, his palms still pressed together.
"Is that so? With a single mouth, the Buddhist Sect can speak the dead back to life and speak the living to death. The Great Debate Spell, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, is indeed housed within the Buddhist Sect. Legend has it that once one cultivates this spell, their eloquence is unhindered; no one can debate them, and when expounding the scriptures, heavenly flowers fall profusely and golden lotuses surge from the earth. I have certainly witnessed this today." Son of God Yaoli's eyes flickered, seemingly contemplating how to obtain the cultivation methods of the Three Thousand Great Daos from Bodhisattva Baogen.
"The Great Daos reside in my Buddhist Sect; naturally, my Buddhist Sect has unhindered eloquence."
Bodhisattva Baogen said. The Original Vow Kasaya on his body spread open, actually beginning to expand, inflating to a full radius of a hundred miles. It seemed he was ready to strike at any moment.
"Enough, our three factions all came here seeking traces of the Human Emperor Pen and Heavenly Concubine Umo. Now, it is highly likely that the Human Emperor Pen and Heavenly Concubine Umo are inside that giant thunder and lightning egg ahead. It is incomparably perilous. How about the three of us join forces?" Ah Huan Dragon Emperor suggested.
"Ah Huan Dragon Emperor, you are truly speaking empty words. Neither the Human Emperor Pen nor Heavenly Concubine Umo recorded in absolute ancient myths possesses the ability to make thunder submit. This is clearly not the Human Emperor Pen." Bodhisattva Baogen stated: "However, this poor monk guesses that an origin womb is brewing inside this Mad Thunder Absolute Prison, something like a star core, or an innate natural deity. Upon collecting it, one can obtain immense benefits. If merged into one's own Cave Heaven domain, that Cave Heaven will possess the power to spawn thunder, making it much more convenient to cultivate it into a world in the future."
"Indeed. If it were the Human Emperor Pen, it would be impossible for us to still be standing here speaking quietly. Although the power of this giant egg is massive, we are not without the ability to subdue it." Son of God Yaoli nodded.
"Then let us break open this giant thunder egg together and see what exactly is inside! If it is an innate natural deity, we shall see who has the skill to snatch it and merge it into their own Cave Heaven domain."
Ah Huan Dragon Emperor said.
"Very well, we will strike together and break the giant egg open! Let us see exactly what this thing is!"
As they spoke, the three major experts suddenly launched their attacks, each unleashing a streak of profound light that cleaved fiercely toward the giant thunder and lightning egg spanning a thousand miles.
"Fang Han, what is that giant thunder egg?"
At this very moment, within Bodhisattva Baogen's Cave Heaven, Fang Han outwardly feigned an exhausted, hoarse appearance, but his divine sense was communicating with Yan inside the Yellow Spring Diagram.
Through the use of the Small Destiny Spell, he could stealthily investigate the situation outside this Cave Heaven without gods or ghosts noticing. He also saw that giant thunder and lightning egg, as well as the conversation among the three major experts: Ah Huan Dragon Emperor, Son of God Yaoli, and Bodhisattva Baogen.
"I also do not know what it is. Perhaps something truly is brewing inside this Mad Thunder Absolute Prison, an innate natural deity, something like a Water God, Fire God, or Thunder God. Collecting it will hold tremendous benefits for condensing one's own domain." Fang Han knew well that even after comprehending spatial rules, cultivating one's domain into a Cave Heaven and then making it stable still required a considerable amount of time—thousands or tens of thousands of years of bitter cultivation.
Someone who had just stepped into the "Cave Heaven Realm" could fundamentally not be compared to the older generation of Cave Heaven Realm figures; upon a mere collision of Cave Heavens, they would almost certainly be routed.
If an innate natural deity were merged into one's Cave Heaven, its power would increase even more dramatically.
"Let us watch the situation calmly. I constantly sense that there is something peculiar about that giant thunder egg. Furthermore, the Ancient Shadow Tracing Method detected the aura of the Human Emperor Pen, which is definitely deep within this Mad Thunder Absolute Prison. Right now, how many Pure Yang medicinal pills are left deep inside the Yellow Spring Diagram?" Fang Han asked.
"Recently, the consumption of Pure Yang medicinal pills has been severe. Ten billion was left inside the Eight部 Float, and now only eighty billion remains deep within the Yellow Spring Diagram."
"Only eighty billion left. We must use it sparingly. I can only urge the Wheel of Reincarnation eight times." Fang Han felt gloomy inside.
Although he had plundered over one hundred and ten billion pills from the Limitless Star Palace, the expenditures were too great. Reversing time in the Yellow Spring Diagram consumed over six billion; the more than sixty years of cultivation also spent a considerable amount; and confronting the Demon Slaying Great Immortal Deng Ao used up ten billion. Before coming out, to prevent Hua Tiandu from causing trouble, he left behind the Eight部 Float, reserving ten billion within it. Now, eighty billion remained.
Once the Pure Yang medicinal pills were exhausted, Fang Han would never again be able to urge the Wheel of Reincarnation. Upon encountering a Cave Heaven Realm expert, his only option would be to flee, and he might not even be able to manage that.
Let alone stand against them.
While pondering, Fang Han utilized the Small Destiny Spell to observe the movements outside.
Currently, the three major experts—Bodhisattva Baogen, Son of God Yaoli, and Ah Huan Dragon Emperor—had already begun their assault on that giant thunder egg. That giant thunder egg, spanning a full thousand miles in radius, instantly began to tremor under the attacks of the three major experts, and the dense electric grid surrounding it also started to collapse.
Some tyrannical thunder elves patrolling within the electric grid charged forward, unleashing hundreds of millions of thunderbolts, yet they were completely unable to do anything to the trio.
"Heavenly Monarch Lightning Mother is cultivating in seclusion here, and you actually dare to harbor designs on it. You truly deserve ten thousand deaths! Deserve ten thousand deaths!" A majestic Thunder God, standing a full five hundred zhang tall, holding a thunder hammer, its entire body vibrating and adorned with ancient armor condensed from thunder, struck toward the three, displaying a force akin to splitting heaven and earth.
"What insignificant little toy dares to block this Son of God."
Son of God Yaoli did not move at all. Snatching with both hands, a surge of God power rushed out, instantly wrapping around this Thunder God, intending to utterly crush it to death.
Just at this moment, a tyrannical power and a chant suddenly transmitted from within the giant thunder egg: "The destinies of the myriad heavens each return to the righteous path. As the wheel of destiny turns, all powers are disintegrated."
Boom!
That force surged out and instantly routed Son of God Yaoli's God power.
Fang Han's entire body jolted.
"It's Senior Sister Qingxue! Inside that giant thunder egg is Senior Sister Qingxue. She is cultivating in seclusion. No wonder I did not encounter her in the Limitless Star Palace. Indeed, only here can she restore her power and have her cultivation violently surge thousands or hundreds of times over. I cannot wait any longer. Senior Sister Qingxue has only now cultivated to the Undying Body, and her power is far lower than mine. The Imperishable Lightning Talisman is even more crippled; she is far from being a match for these three people. If the giant thunder egg is breached, it will be extremely dangerous."
Hearing this voice, Fang Han instantly became excited; it was actually Fang Qingxue inside that giant thunder egg.
The situation was now extremely perilous.
Although Fang Qingxue possessed the cultivation of the Undying Body, it was impossible for her to defeat Cave Heaven Realm experts. Even Fang Han, at present, without eighty billion pills, could not achieve it with the Wheel of Reincarnation. The disparity between the Cave Heaven Realm and the Undying Body was too massive—one was power, the other was rules. It was simply the difference between heaven and humanity.
Immediately, Fang Han did not hesitate and prepared to use the Wheel of Reincarnation to blow up Bodhisattva Baogen's Cave Heaven.
However, just as he was about to make his move and burn ten billion pills, his heart suddenly stirred, and he calmed down. Instead, he hurled out the highly toxic gas of the "Great Poison Spell" stored within the Dragon Transformation Gourd suppressed inside the Yellow Spring Diagram.
"Bodhisattva Ci'en, this person's Great Protection Spell is truly miraculous. We have refined it with Buddha fire for so long, yet he seems completely unharmed."
"Bodhisattva Cixuan, the Great Protection Spell is among the Three Thousand Great Daos, ranked extremely high. It is much more formidable than our Buddhist Sect's Vajra Sitting Zen Great Magic. If I were to obtain it, I fear I could rank first among Second Stage Bodhisattvas of the Undying Body."
"Indeed, indeed. Even I, Bodhisattva Ciji, am moved. Following Bodhisattva Baogen out this time has truly granted us an immense fortuitous destiny."
"Bodhisattva Cihui, what is your view?"
"There is no need to say more; exert utmost effort to refine Him. It is just a pity that Bodhisattva Baogen has not comprehended time rules. If he could comprehend time rules, he could sever this person's extraction of Immortal Realm origin energy, making it much easier to refine him."
Within Bodhisattva Baogen's Cave Heaven, there were a total of seven Bodhisattvas, all being Second Stage Bodhisattvas possessing the Undying Body. They were the elite of the Buddhist Sect. Currently, they were all together refining Fang Han. These seven Buddhist elites were "Bodhisattva Ci'en," "Ciji," "Cixuan," "Cihui," "Ciju," "Cigang," and "Cili."
All seven major Bodhisattvas possessed profound cultivation, having been old monks for ten thousand years. Their status was extremely high, holding considerable standing within the Buddha Realm as well. Now united together and deploying various methods to refine Fang Han, they all wished to obtain the Three Thousand Great Daos carried on Fang Han's body.
Just at this moment, Fang Han suddenly let out a frantic roar, and a gourd flew out from his body.
On top of the gourd, a spirit talisman was pasted, bearing the six-syllable true words, seemingly suppressing something formidable.
"That is?"
"What spirit talisman is that? It seems to be the legendary talisman of the World Honored One with Unfettered King Buddha from the extremely distant past of our Buddhist Sect."
"Blow up that gourd and seize the spirit talisman!"
The reactions of the seven major Bodhisattvas in this instant were extremely rapid. Each roaring frantically, they struck out with a palm, grabbing fiercely toward that spirit talisman and the gourd.
Just then, the entire Dragon Transformation Gourd suddenly exploded. The spirit talisman shrank back, and in a flash, with a gurgling sound, infinite highly toxic gas surged out from within.
As soon as this highly toxic gas emerged, it immediately permeated everywhere. Even Bodhisattva Baogen's Cave Heaven began to be corroded.
And the moment the magic power of those seven Undying Body Bodhisattvas came into contact with even a little bit, the golden light covering their entire bodies dimmed, emitting a foul stench.
