Chapter 259: Celestial Rank, Divine Armament Choosing Master

"Teacher, what is that?"

Huang Fuxing's face was filled with awe as he gazed at the crystal barrier that enveloped the entire Southern 7th Star Zone, not far away.

The crystal light illuminated the dark and cold universe, as if shining through the three realms and the ten directions, penetrating any darkness and evil, omnipresent and all-encompassing!

"Ten Directions Crystal Realm..." Mu Chengde whispered, "This is the inner universe of the Divine Armament left by Mu Shuai, this is the resonance of the Divine Armament, a self-generated sensing."

"The Divine Armament left by Mu Shuai?" Huang Fuxing was a little dazed, could it be... the ultimate treasure of their Holy King lineage?!

Not long ago, under the guidance of his teacher, he crossed the void, ventured through the Mind Void, and arrived at the star zone where the Mu Clan resided.

To be honest, Huang Fuxing still didn't understand why his teacher had suddenly brought him to the Mu Clan in such a hurry.

The relationship between their Supreme True Buddha Sect and the Mu Clan wasn't exactly friendly, so why take the risk of delivering themselves to the enemy?

"There's a reaction..." Mu Chengde murmured, his heart trembling with an indescribable sensation.

Earlier, when he saw the Dharmakaya displayed by Ji Jingqiu, he was completely shocked.

He had originally thought that this person had a connection with the True Buddha, but now it seemed... he wasn't just connected to the True Buddha, he himself was a living "Buddha"! He remembered that his teacher had once said that the appearance of every Buddha was due to a significant cause and condition, and they would never manifest lightly.

So, what did Ji Jingqiu's appearance signify? At this moment, as he witnessed the self-generated sensing of their Holy King lineage's Divine Armament, without anyone controlling it, yet it was able to support the inner universe, covering the entire star zone, Mu Chengde's heart was filled with an indescribable tremor.

Ji Jingqiu... not only was he the heir of He Shuai, but he was also the heir of the Holy King lineage?!

"Did he go to the Mu Clan once?!" Mu Chengde suddenly turned and asked, his eyes shining as brightly as the sun.

Huang Fuxing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "The Federation's previous trial was held at the Mu Clan. After that, the Mu Clan opened some of their canons, and many young people went to observe."

"Including the Hellfire Buddha Prison?"

"Including it." Huang Fuxing murmured, "Teacher, you mean...?"

"So that's how it is, it matches up..." Mu Chengde smiled bitterly, "No wonder that person from the Mu Clan values him so much, no wonder the Four Divine Lords allowed him to travel to the Western Region, no wonder..."

He swept away all stray thoughts from his mind, returning to his clear and calm state, his eyes sparkling.

Earlier, Ji Jingqiu had walked too fast, and there were other Celestials present at the time, so even if Mu Chengde had lost his composure, he didn't dare to meet with Ji Jingqiu in that situation.

After all, the reputation of their Supreme True Buddha Sect wasn't exactly good.

The reason he had brought his disciple to "overtake on the bend" and come to this place was not only to verify a certain guess but also to stop Ji Jingqiu.

Currently, the Mu Clan's direct lineage was almost non-existent, relying solely on the side branches for support, and they had also brought in a large number of "external aids," among which there were several Celestials, including some of the Second Stage, already caught in the self-imposed Second Stage, the situation was like a quagmire, difficult to untangle, requiring careful handling, and impatience would only make things worse...

"It's like this..." Mu Chengde sighed.

The curse of the Four Fiends of the Wilderness was not just a formality; for the Mu Clan, the curse mainly came from the Heavenly Demon and the Death Demon.

The latter's curse was the most "simple and direct"; within the direct lineage, their fate was often twisted, and it was difficult to cultivate the Mu Clan's Dharma Gate and the Holy King lineage's Dharma Gate. Most of them would encounter the Death Tribulation, and many would perish halfway.

Even if one was lucky enough to escape the Death Tribulation, if they were from the direct lineage and cultivated the Mu Clan's Dharma Gate or the Holy King lineage's Dharma Gate, they would receive the direct attention of the Death Demon.

How many could resist the temptation of that position and not fall? And those from the side branches, as long as they didn't study the Holy King lineage's sutras and didn't cultivate the Dharma Gate related to the Holy King lineage, could escape the Death Tribulation.

This created a situation where the Mu Clan's side branches became powerful, while the direct lineage weakened.

Not studying the Mu Clan's Dharma and not studying the Holy King lineage's sutras...

This was the Mu Clan's ideology, and it would only lead them further away from the Holy King lineage.

If it weren't for the Mu Clan having Grandmasters in every generation, the internal conflicts within the Mu Clan would have intensified, and the side branches would have overwhelmed the direct lineage.

Mu Chengde sighed:

"When the Dharma is about to be extinguished, the five evil ages arise, the demonic path flourishes, demons become monks, corrupting my path, wearing secular clothes, and enjoying the colorful robes of the monks..."

"Teacher, it seems like the barrier is dissipating?" Huang Fuxing asked in surprise.

Hearing Huang Fuxing's words, Mu Chengde focused his gaze.

Indeed, the Ten Directions Crystal Realm seemed to be dispersing! He quickly looked around, searching for Ji Jingqiu's figure.

Please don't rush!

Although the Third Stage Celestial Rank warriors had already been taken away from the Great Universe, there were still Second Stage Celestial Rank warriors within the Mu Clan.

The First Stage of the Celestial Rank was the unification of Heaven and Man, perfectly controlling the power of Heaven and Earth.

And upon entering the Second Stage, aside from opening the inner universe and other transformations, the most fundamental aspect was still the unification of Heaven and Man, but at this stage, the 'Heaven' and 'I' were separated, with 'I' standing above 'Heaven', known as 'I as the Heart of Heaven'.

At this stage, the Heavenly-Earth Battlefield and the inner universe could briefly merge into a single realm, trapping enemies within their own inner universe, suppressing them.

Even for those who had already achieved the unification of Heaven and Man, being trapped in an opponent's inner universe was like falling into a position of complete disadvantage, making it difficult to fight back.

According to Mu Chengde's knowledge, in other heavenly realm domains, solely in terms of destructive power, the First Stage of the Celestial Rank was planet-level, the Second Stage could reach star-level, and the final Third Stage was close to the stellar level.

In the Great Universe, there were rules that suppressed power, so the ultimate power would be slightly weaker, but the gap between the stages wouldn't be reduced too much!

"Found him!"

Mu Chengde's spirit lifted, and he quickly pursued, leaving Huang Fuxing behind in the quiet universe.

The latter opened his mouth to speak, but ultimately swallowed it back.

Good, even he is in the Shackles Realm’s later stages, where the life field naturally forms, unafraid of the universe’s environment.

But...

How should he leave this?

Although Shackles realm doesn’t fear various extreme environments, it’s impossible to freely traverse the universe, let alone the void and mind’s ocean abilities!

Looking at the teacher’s already unseen back shadow, Huang Fuxing’s face was resolute.

Who would enter hell if I don’t?

Hope the teacher can catch up with Jiqingqiu and come to meet oneself as soon as possible...

...

“This is... the Mu Clan’s divine armament? Is this the Divine Armament realm?”

Jishock qiu stood before the ten directions Crystal Realm, marveling at how this side enveloped the entire star domain’s barrier.

“The Barrier?”

Jiqing qiu curiously asked, "What is the Great Dharmaraja’s level?"

The Federation’s martial path divides the inner universe into two levels. He has already comprehended the [Embrace All], the next step is [Unshackled by Form], and before him is the Great dharmaraja.

"Indeed, the grandmaster. If you can derive the universe’s principle, see through all, the dharmic field will no longer be confined to space, existing in every thought, every space, every moment, for you, there will no secrets left to speak of."

Hearing these words, Jiqing qiu couldn’t help but think of the Mu Chan Tianyuan before, but could easily contact him.

"The dharmic field no longer confined to space, then at the heavenly sovereign, can one ignore time? Exist in any temporal line?"

"Thinking is good, I won’t think of it again." Hai gui fei calmly said, "Time and heavenly fate, even if it’s I, and I won’t easily tread, for it’s too strong."

"You can understand it as, those two long rivers, being the supreme ‘divine armament’."

Jiqing.qiu, if thinking, this metaphor is very vivid, no wonder the Four Fiends are approaching the ‘beyond the domain of heaven and earth’, and he doesn’t want to lightly touch.

In the scene of the inner universe, through jiqing qiu’s perspective, observing the divine armament’s pure land, self-speak ofsecrets."

"Indeed, the great universe’s rule will soon face a great change, currently in the turmoil before the great change, even this divine armament has self-sealed in the third step between heaven and earth, though unable to fully spur on, resisting the ordinary second step, it wouldn’t be hard either."

Her gaze held some regret.

Sadly, that Wang Badao didn’t like killing, the left divine armament wasn’t a killing weapon, but a ‘pacifying artifact’ that can suppress one’s own fate, also evolve into the ten directions Crystal role, in the same realm, it’s hard for anyone to break through.

Jiqing qiu upheld, although not the strongest, wouldn’t fear the second step’s [I as Heavenly Heart].

Even if, if he is with this divine armament’s compatibility is high enough, he could even use the divine armament to suppress the second Step of Heaven and Earth, pulling the opponent down to the same level, then...

Recalling this guy’s previously crude martial techniques, hai la lightly stroked his fat tiger’s fur, chortling with a satisfied hum, already harshly pinched.

A Bodhi Tree’s leaves gently covered, seemingly unable to bear a direct gaze.

Lying in the pond, the dead fish’s age remained calm, occasionally blowing bubbles.

The formless wind then curiously drifted at the edge of the pure land, "looking up" at the outside bitter sea.

...

Jiqing qiu walked forward.

That from the depths of the mind’s resonance reached its peak at this moment.

He stretched out his hand, lightly touching the Ten Directions Crystal Realm before him.

From some transmitted resonance of the mind, he slightly intoned, this is to validate the true body?

Immediately, he activated the Hellfire Buddha prison visualization.

—Heaven and Earth overturn, the bitter sea fell, only one side of the pure land remained unextinguished, enduring myriad tribulations.

When such contemplation of heaven and earth transformed into a wondrous scene before Jiqing qiu, a slowly glowing green lantern gradually emitted a sound like a great bell, deafening.

"Jiqing qiu! Jiqing qiu! And slow!"

Hearing the resonance of mental echo, wave upon wave, rippling the mind ocean, came Jiqing qiu’s gaze.

The one who arrived was the Mu chengde’s predecessor of the Unyielding True Buddha Sect.

At this moment, the Zen chanting voice from the long river of time sounded, solemn and vast, as if spanning time.

Buddha light pierced the sky, like a waterfall descending, illuminating the ten directions, thoroughly unbound, infinitely extending, easily encompassing the Y an huang Federation’s domain, and then continued spreading!

Just like a sleeping god for countless years, on this day awakening, ready to see if the universe is as before.

...

Li Family.

Li Xuanting, heaven and earth overturned, the bitter sea fell, yet only one side of the pure land remained unextinguished, enduring myriad tribulations.

At this moment, the Mu Chengde suddenly stood up, his expression trembling.

"Is this... the Mu clan’s divine armament awakened?!"

"Did the mu clan succeed? Is it someone on our side?"

"Quickly confirm! Quickly establish contact with the Mu clan!"

...

In the holy temple, the Holy Light Ancient Kingdom’s Mu Chengde suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fierce.

Her gaze followed the manifestation of the Buddha's light in the world, and the anger and coldness that had been provoked gradually dissipated, eventually turning into a faint sigh of desolation:

"What a pity... There is no Buddha in the world."

"Will our future be like this too? Withering and fading away in the midst of struggle, all to be buried in the dust..."

...

In the distant void, believers from the Four Deity Church and the followers of the Four Fiends, both under the command of the Four Savage Devils, halted in their journey across the void.

The crystal Buddha light was vast and boundless, spreading from beneath their feet. This power forced them to burn their divine energy within to resist.

"What... What kind of power is this?! It can even erode the divine power of the Divine Lord?!"

Someone exclaimed, their face filled with horror.

Another's gaze pierced through the void, as if they had seen the source of this vast light:

"This power seems to come from our destination on this journey..."

Everyone fell silent. They had gathered from all directions, sent by the Divine Lord, with the confidence to sweep away all obstacles. But at this moment, they couldn't help but fall silent.

What level of enemy were they about to face?

...

In the current Great Universe, no one knew where this strand of crystal light had spread to.

It seemed endless, vast and boundless, sweeping across the starry sky, and along the way, it startled many "old friends."

The tribal pacifying artifacts of various civilizations awakened on their own, and the deities within looked at the crystal Buddha light that illuminated the ten directions with solemn expressions. But they did not block it; instead, they let it spread, illuminating the boundless universe.

Facing the anxious inquiries of the younger generation, they all remained silent, and in the end, they could only advise them to prepare for the coming great tribulation.

...

Ji Jingqiu heard the roar of the Dao. He had not yet seen the Great Dao, but due to his karmic connection, at this moment, he witnessed the rules of the Great Universe clashing!

This was a suppression from the Great Universe, not allowing the emergence of an oversized power in the present.

As the Buddha light receded, the green lantern returned to its original state, mottled and ancient, just like an ordinary green lantern in an ancient temple under a light drizzle, shining dimly and brightly, illuminating the deep and ancient temple.

It slowly flew over and landed on Ji Jingqiu's head, its body radiating crystal light.

The crystal light cascaded down, flowing into his body, illuminating and connecting every orifice, and the world within him, leaving nothing untouched! Ji Jingqiu closed his eyes. This was the power of the divine armament, allowing him to glimpse the true form of the celestial being.

Witnessing this scene, even Hai Guifei, who had long been in a state of shock, couldn't help but fall silent.

No...

Even the top-tier divine armament, known as the Vajra, which had once suppressed all realms and was said to be indestructible for millions of years, couldn't resist?

...

...

Mu Clan.

"Third Grandpa, the divine armament has awakened and chosen its master!" Mu Juncheng's expression was filled with bitterness.

Ever since the divine armament awakened, their lineage had been in a struggle with another branch for control. During this time, they had used all sorts of methods.

In the current Mu Clan, whoever could control the divine armament would hold the power.

But now, the chosen master was not from their lineage.

Mu Xueying's expression was calm, as if he were sitting on a fishing platform.

There was no other way. As the one who had given the Hellfire Buddha Prison Visualization Chart to Ji Jingqiu and personally created a new Venerable One's successor, he had the confidence!

"Why panic when the heavens are collapsing before your eyes?" Mu Xueying scolded, then stood up and looked at the celestial beings from their lineage.

Among them, one was from the Mu Clan, while the others were all followers. This was the current Mu Clan. If there was a grandmaster present, it would be fine, but if not...

His heart was calm, and he said with composure:

"Everyone, let's go and welcome the return of the Venerable One."

Hearing these words, everyone's expressions were shocked.

...

On the other side of the Mu Clan.

"The divine armament has chosen its master? Not someone from our side?"

An elderly man with a crane-like appearance stood up after a moment of silence, his expression cold.

"Then we'll execute the second plan. Even if the divine armament has chosen someone from Mu Lao San's side, the compatibility won't be high. It's a helpless choice!"

"With the suppression from the Great Universe, the divine armament covered in dust, and the user's low compatibility, we also have the advantage of bloodline. In this battle, we still have a significant advantage!"

He looked around, and their celestial being's combat power reached ten, with two even in the second stage!

But on Mu Lao San's side, their celestial being's combat power was only three or four. How could they willingly surrender?

After speaking, the old man's eyes shone as he looked at the young martial artist beside him.

"Junxin, what do you think?"

Mu Junxin remained silent for a long time. At this point, could he still make the decision?

He smiled at himself. Originally, he thought that after entering the state of divine wandering, he could use this opportunity to travel far away, escaping this cage.

The old man muttered, "Since Junxin also thinks so, then let's take action!"

The old man's gaze swept over everyone, instructing the followers, "All of you, remember to apply a bit of Junxin's energy when you act. It can confuse the aura."

The Mu Clan celestial being followers looked at each other, their eyes flashing with understanding, and they nodded slightly.

"Then let's take action." The old man took the lead in walking out of the room, his calm gaze unable to hide his excitement.

After many years...

Finally, it was their turn to take control, to hold the power of the divine armament.
