The Sixth Ancestor’s golden body was as large as a palace hall. He stood under the Gate of Three Lives and said, “You bold ghost, how dare you kill in this ancestor’s master’s Buddha body? What crime have you committed?”
The Golden Assembly Great God’s face changed drastically. He looked at Prajna lying on the golden water surface and quickly said, “No, I would never disturb Cloud Azure Ancient Buddha’s serenity, let alone kill and ruin the ancient Buddha’s cultivation. Prajna is the goddess of the Temple of Destiny. As a god of the underworld realm, how could I possibly kill her?”
“She is not dead! Her divine body is damaged, and her divine soul has suffered some degree of injury.”
The main body of the divine soul is primarily located in the divine source.
As long as the divine source is not destroyed, the divine soul is hard to completely extinguish.
However, most gods, when they know they are doomed to die, will destroy their own divine soul and rule divine artifacts in the divine source themselves. One reason is to prevent a complete divine source from falling into enemy hands. The second is that they do not want to end up in a fate worse than death.
The shattered divine soul of Prajna was the one in her divine body.
The divine soul in her divine source was not greatly affected.
“Buddhist Ancestor, look!”
The Golden Assembly Great God pressed his hands out into the air. Strands of light patterns surged out and gathered all the divine soul fragments above Prajna’s wounded body into a faint soul shadow.
The soul shadow looked exactly like Prajna.
The soul shadow fell down and completely overlapped with Prajna’s divine body.
It must be said that no race can match the ghost clan’s control over soul power.
“The divine soul has reformed. She will wake up soon.”
The Golden Assembly Great God was extremely uneasy and did not dare to look directly at the Sixth Ancestor.
After all, the heavenly court and the underworld reopening war made them absolute enemies. The Golden Assembly Great God could only hope that the Sixth Ancestor truly did not want to kill in Cloud Azure Ancient Buddha’s relic body and would let him leave.
“Sixth Ancestor, do not let him go. He is a ghost clan god.” Little Black said again.
The Golden Assembly Great God was already terrified. Seeing Little Black add fuel to the fire, he felt great anger in his heart and said, “Buddhist Ancestor, this cat is the son of the Undying Blood Clan’s Ice Emperor. He has committed many evils and loves to suck human blood, especially the blood of Buddhist cultivators.”
Little Black did not expect the Golden Assembly Great God to be so cunning and strike first with a counter accusation. He hurriedly said, “How dare you slander this emperor?”
“This seat has not slandered you. You have Cloud Azure Ancient Buddha’s blood qi in your body, which shows that after entering the ancient Buddha’s relic body, you swallowed quite a bit of divine blood.” The Golden Assembly Great God said.
…
“Stop arguing!”
The Sixth Ancestor’s voice was vast. He stared at the Golden Assembly Great God and said, “Do you know that this girl has some connection with this ancestor?”
It was at this moment that Prajna slowly woke up, but she was very weak.
The Golden Assembly Great God was first quite surprised. Then his eyes widened greatly as he thought of a huge secret in the underworld realm.
Legend has it that the Sixth Ancestor and the Nether Clan’s Yin Xue Tian studied Buddhism together under Cloud Azure Ancient Buddha’s door. They were senior sister and junior brother with a very close relationship. So in the Sixth Ancestor’s heart, there was no distinction between living beings and dead spirits. All sentient beings are equal.
There is another legend that the Temple of Destiny’s Fury Heaven Divine Venerable is Yin Xue Tian’s son.
However, this legend has never been confirmed, and no one dares to confirm it.
Now hearing the Sixth Ancestor say such words, the Golden Assembly Great God immediately thought of this. Apart from this connection, how could a young one over a thousand years old like Prajna have any relation to the Sixth Ancestor?
Zhang Ruchen naturally did not know the legend that “Fury Heaven Divine Venerable might be Yin Xue Tian’s son.” The reason he said those words earlier was just to scare the Golden Assembly Great God a bit, to prevent him from continuing to trouble Prajna in the future.
Zhang Ruchen was about to make up a lie when he saw the Golden Assembly Great God kneel on the ground again. He said in panic, “Buddhist Ancestor, see clearly. This junior truly did not know that Prajna goddess is your elder’s grand disciple nephew. If I had known, I would surely treat her with utmost respect and not dare to offend her in the slightest.”
Grand disciple nephew?
All the cultivators present were stunned.
Even Zhang Ruchen and Prajna herself felt surprised and could not quite understand it.
Prajna is clearly Fury Heaven Divine Venerable’s disciple. How did she become the Sixth Ancestor’s grand disciple nephew?
Had the Golden Assembly Great God been scared senseless by the Sixth Ancestor’s might?
Zhang Ruchen took a slow breath and said in a deep voice, “But in the end, you did offend her! Look, what have you done to her? Even if this ancestor has compassion and spares you, can Fury Heaven spare you?”
The Golden Assembly Great God did not dare to act presumptuous in the slightest and said, “This junior is willing to use ten thousand years of cultivation to help Prajna goddess heal.”
“Ten thousand years of cultivation?”
Under the Gate of Three Lives.
The Sixth Ancestor’s gaze turned to Kong Li Zang Hai, who was frozen in the ice block and already dead.
The Golden Assembly Great God noticed this and realised the Sixth Ancestor was about to get angry. He quickly said, “One hundred thousand years! This junior is willing to disperse one hundred thousand years of cultivation to help Prajna goddess strengthen her divine soul, refine her divine source, cultivate her divine realm world, and reach the realm of a mid-level god.”
The Sixth Ancestor said, “Losing one hundred thousand years of cultivation is too great a loss, is it not? Are you not afraid of falling back to the upper god realm? Are you not afraid of not passing the next kalpa disaster?”
The Golden Assembly Great God put his hands together and said, “I am not afraid! Plant the cause, get the cause. Plant the fruit, get the fruit. It is all this junior’s fault, so I should make the greatest effort to make amends. Besides, Prajna goddess is the Buddhist Ancestor’s grand disciple nephew. Passing on teachings to her would fill this junior’s heart with utmost glory.”
The Golden Assembly Great God felt bitter in his heart. As a great god who shook the starry rivers and commanded billions of ghost soldiers and generals, why had he come to the Abyss of Darkness?
Why was his luck so bad that he provoked the Sixth Ancestor?
Fortunately, he was clever enough and decisively gave up one hundred thousand years of cultivation. In this way, the Sixth Ancestor naturally could not kill him anymore and had saved his life.
As for the lost cultivation, he could only compensate by devouring the divine souls of a few more gods in the Abyss of Darkness.
The Golden Assembly Great God spat out a white bone altar from his mouth, which turned into over three hundred zhang tall.
The altar was engraved with ancient and mysterious sacrificial patterns. As the Golden Assembly Great God activated the altar, the white bones on it slowly moved and burst out with strong yin qi.
“Prajna goddess, please!” The Golden Assembly Great God said.
Prajna had recovered some strength and stood up. She was still somewhat dazed. How had the Sixth Ancestor appeared? It was too unbelievable.
In her daze, she stepped onto the white bone altar.
The Golden Assembly Great God used the white bone altar as a medium to continuously transfer his entire cultivation to Prajna.
Fortunately, Prajna could be considered half a dead spirit, and she had cultivated the Gate of True Self. She could use the Gate of True Self to convert the Golden Assembly Great God’s divine soul power, divine qi, and rule divine patterns.
Little Black watched with extreme envy. He only regretted having no connection at all with the Sixth Ancestor. Otherwise, how good would it be to seize one hundred thousand years of the Golden Assembly Great God’s cultivation?
Chi Yao thought to herself, “With this opportunity, Prajna has turned disaster into blessing. As long as she fully integrates the Golden Assembly Great God’s power, within ten thousand years, she will surely reach the upper god realm.”
Not just Little Black, even the Sealed Dust Sword God was very envious.
But they could only envy.
Because only an existence like the Sixth Ancestor could force a great god to voluntarily offer one hundred thousand years of cultivation. If it were outside, even a divine venerable could not force the Golden Assembly Great God to do such a thing.
After all, the Golden Assembly Great God was the god of Impermanence Ghost City, and Impermanence Ghost City also had terrifying existences at the divine venerable level.
With the help of the white bone altar, the transmission of teachings did not take too long.
When the transmission ended, Prajna’s injuries were completely healed. Her divine soul was extremely powerful, and the divine might in her body could not be controlled. It kept leaking out. But she was still at the lower god realm.
For her, she only needed to form the divine realm world to immediately become a mid-level god.
But forming the divine realm world was not something that could be done overnight. It required a lot of time.
In contrast, the Golden Assembly Great God was extremely weak. The divine light on his body dimmed and brightened at times. This was a sign of unstable realm. He put away the white bone altar, bowed, and said, “Buddhist Ancestor, can this junior leave now?”
The Sixth Ancestor’s golden body Buddha shadow needed Zhang Ruchen’s blood to sustain it.
At this moment, Zhang Ruchen’s blood had already flowed out in large amounts.
But he still chose to sustain it a bit longer and said, “Amitabha! Golden Assembly, you should know that the main reason this ancestor lets you leave is because all things in the world have their reason for existence. All sentient beings are equal, good and evil have retribution. The ghost clan also has value in living. They should not all be killed.”
Every Buddhist Ancestor has his own different Buddhist thoughts.
The Sixth Ancestor’s thought was “all sentient beings are equal.” Zhang Ruchen knew this. Because the secret method “all sentient beings are equal” was first created by the Sixth Ancestor.
The Golden Assembly Great God showed a pious expression and said, “Buddhist Ancestor has great wisdom! The gods of heavenly court and underworld are all stubborn. None can compare to the Buddhist Ancestor.”
Zhang Ruchen said again, “But this ancestor can spare you, Fury Heaven absolutely will not. You should know Fury Heaven’s character, right?”
The Golden Assembly Great God showed a fearful colour. He truly felt some fear in his heart.
If he killed Prajna and the others in the Abyss of Darkness to silence them, he would naturally have no fear.
But with the Sixth Ancestor in the Abyss of Darkness, how could he dare to do that?
Moreover, he had killed quite a few gods and devoured their divine souls. Once Prajna and the others spread the news, not to mention Fury Heaven Divine Venerable, just the Dark Temple, Death God Temple, Ice Emperor… would make him have no place in the underworld realm and even scatter his soul.
He could not hide in the Abyss of Darkness forever, could he?
Such a dangerous place, staying too long would surely lead to great peril and death without burial.
The more he thought, the more the Golden Assembly Great God felt that coming to the Abyss of Darkness was the most unwise decision he had ever made. He felt somewhat desolate in his heart. Did he have to flee to the cosmic frontier?
Zhang Ruchen said, “This ancestor can point out a bright path for you!”
“Buddhist Ancestor, save me.” The Golden Assembly Great God said.
Zhang Ruchen said, “Take Prajna as your master and study Buddhism with her. Since you have become Fury Heaven’s disciple grandson, he naturally will not trouble you anymore. If he troubles you, tell him it is this ancestor’s decision. It is this ancestor who sees that you have affinity with the Buddha and wants to preserve your life.”
The Golden Assembly Great God had thought he had no way out. Hearing this, his heart suddenly opened up.
Yes, as long as he became Prajna’s disciple, they would all be in the same boat. They naturally would not reveal the cause of death of gods like Kong Li Zang Hai, which would cut off all worries.
Next, he would still be the great god of Impermanence Ghost City. He could still devour the divine souls of other gods in the Abyss of Darkness. He just needed to learn Buddhism.
What was so difficult about that?
Just following a little girl to learn Buddhism, and he would gain backers like Fury Heaven Divine Venerable and the Sixth Ancestor. That was a huge profit! Back then, Yin Xue Tian was so powerful, yet she still studied Buddhism under Cloud Azure Ancient Buddha.
While the Golden Assembly Great God was wild with joy, Prajna was even more confused and at a loss. A lower god taking a great god as disciple, this… The Sixth Ancestor truly acted without convention.
