Chapter 961 Chapter 959 The Heavenly Dao Golden Edict, the Heavenly Dao Imprints Its Seal 3
Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
What the hell is this about signing a pledge!
Heavenly Dao, have you lost your damn mind!
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata felt like he was going insane. He could not believe it, and roared in fury.
“Opposed! I oppose this!”
“Heavenly Dao, are you fucking awake?!”
“Something this absurd and you’re actually going to agree?!”
“Do you hate me that much?!”
“To block my Dao Path, you’d even throw away all shame!”
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata erupted into a silent storm of profanity.
The luminous Buddha heart he had tempered over half a lifetime of cultivation was about to crack apart.
This is too fucking absurd.
Back then, when he had been at the Dao-Fusion Realm, merely having the thought of Dao-Sacrifice had immediately brought down the Heavenly Dao’s backlash upon him.
Not only had the Stone Monkey, his Mind Monkey and Heart Demon, been born from nothing.
He had also been forced into endless schemes and struggles against the Heavenly Dao.
And now it was Lin Qi’s turn.
Just one sentence.
And the Heavenly Dao had actually compromised, actually agreed.
It did not even care who the winner would be anymore.
It just shamelessly licked right up to him, wanting to help him achieve Dao-Sacrifice.
Damn it!
To help him achieve Dao-Sacrifice, not Dao-Fusion!
Heavenly Dao, you’re old and your eyes are failing, you must have misheard!
Clinging to a one-in-ten-thousand hope, the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata looked at the Golden Edict again and again.
It was Dao-Sacrifice, not Dao-Fusion.
He might have misheard, but it was absolutely impossible for the writing to be wrong.
And it was fucking written by the Heavenly Dao itself!
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata felt like his entire worldview was about to split apart.
He could not understand. He truly, truly could not understand.
On what basis!
I’m asking you, on what basis!
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata’s eyes turned red. He saw that the Heavenly Dao was completely ignoring him.
Those pair of dark-gold eyes simply rested on Lin Qi, as if waiting for Lin Qi to sign and seal the Heavenly Dao Golden Edict.
Such differential treatment.
Made the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata’s killing intent surge explosively. He reached out, wanting to snatch the Heavenly Dao Golden Edict and tear it to shreds.
Then, regardless of consequences, he would slaughter Lin Qi once more.
He wanted to let the Heavenly Dao know.
Who was the one truly in control of the situation.
But before the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata could grab the Heavenly Dao Golden Edict, he heard Lin Qi say lightly.
“It seems the Heavenly Dao is rather partial to you after all.”
“This Venerable originally thought the Heavenly Dao would reject this duel rule.”
“After all, your advantage is too great.”
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata’s outstretched hand froze instantly.
Because he was, in the end, a clever man.
A moment ago, his rage had clouded his reason.
But now, with Lin Qi’s words.
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata suddenly grasped the situation.
He looked once more carefully at the contents of the Heavenly Dao Golden Edict, his gaze flickering uncertainly.
Though he was still furious at the Heavenly Dao’s differential treatment.
After all, those who understood, understood.
The Heavenly Dao’s conduct was truly too low.
The harm to the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata was minor, but the insult was extreme.
But after reasoning it through.
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata had no choice but to acknowledge.
If it really followed this rule.
Then his advantage was indeed enormous.
No, not just enormous.
It was practically a sure thing.
After all, look at the opponents competing against him in this duel.
The Stone Monkey went without saying; it was merely his Heart Demon.
If not for the Heavenly Dao meddling, he had ten thousand ways to easily subdue and obliterate a mere Heart Demon.
The remaining Demon Buddha could count as a worthy opponent.
After all, the Demon Buddha held the Six-Character Mantra from the Buddhist Supremes.
But apart from that Six-Character Mantra.
Even if he gave the Demon Buddha both hands and both feet, the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata was confident he could easily crush him.
And moreover, if Lin Qi had not lied to him.
When dealing with the Demon Buddha, the unfathomable Lin Qi would also help him.
As for that tag-along called Lin Feng.
What was that?
Directly ignored.
So if the contents written on this Heavenly Dao Golden Edict were not Lin Qi and the Heavenly Dao conspiring together to trick him.
Then.
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata’s heart was moved. He immediately bowed deeply to Lin Qi, his posture extremely low.
“May I ask Your Majesty.”
“Are you truly confident you can make the Heavenly Dao act according to the edict?”
“What do you think?”
Lin Qi replied with a question, gesturing for Yuyao to fetch a seal.
“Your Majesty’s divine abilities are vast and mighty. This old monk cannot help but admire you.”
“Naturally, I do not worry that Your Majesty has ulterior motives.”
“It is only that the Heavenly Dao’s sudden change is truly beyond my understanding.”
“I beg Your Majesty to enlighten this old monk.”
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata’s tone and attitude grew ever more respectful.
There was nothing to be done about it.
Lin Qi had simply given far too much.
If things truly went as the Heavenly Dao Golden Edict said.
Then he was only a trip to the mortal world to slaughter freely away from Dao-Sacrifice.
Enough to save him a thousand years, no, one could even say half a lifetime of bitter effort.
A Lin Qi like this.
Even if he had to enshrine him and burn incense morning and night, he was willing.
“Nothing more than mutual benefit and a win-win cooperation.”
Lin Qi spoke lightly.
He did not tell the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata that he had merely informed This Realm’s Heavenly Dao of the existence of the Great Destruction and the Heavenly Demons.
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata still did not stand high enough.
Otherwise.
If the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata only knew of these two matters.
Then whether it was the Great Destruction pushed forward and schemed by the Supremes, or the threat from the Heavenly Demons.
Both would be enough to make This Realm’s Heavenly Dao completely abandon resistance and allow the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata to go forth and achieve Dao-Sacrifice, gambling on a chance to survive by putting itself in a death ground.
It could be said that as long as one knew these two secrets capable of truly bringing the threat of annihilation to the Cosmos.
Even a mortal.
Would likewise possess the qualification to negotiate with the Heavenly Dao.
Of course.
If it really were a mortal, whether the Heavenly Dao would believe him was another matter entirely.
And Lin Qi naturally possessed the ability to make This Realm’s Heavenly Dao believe deeply.
Whether it was the various methods he had displayed since arriving in This Realm’s Cosmos, or the true and undeniable evidence of the Great Destruction and the Heavenly Demons in his hands.
All were enough to make This Realm’s Heavenly Dao accept and believe Lin Qi.
Thereby choosing without a shred of hesitation the plan Lin Qi had prepared for it.
It sounded rather complicated.
But at the end of the day, it was nothing more than coercion and temptation.
Not just toward the Heavenly Dao, but likewise toward the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata, the Demon Buddha, the Stone Monkey, Lin Feng, and even toward those high and mighty Supremes.
The key to Lin Qi being able to manipulate the overall situation and control everything now lay entirely in these four words: coercion and temptation.
Yet it was precisely this that proved all-conquering.
Thinking about it carefully, it was actually rather ironic.
But what could be done?
This world was simply like this.
Especially for a world like this, where individual power was concentrated in oneself.
No matter your thousand spells, your ten thousand divine abilities.
In the end, it was fundamentally about benefiting oneself, not others.
How could one truly expect someone to light up ten thousand mountains and rivers with a single bright pearl?
Moreover, those Supremes seated at the infinite heights no longer cared about the Cosmos’s myriad living beings.
The remaining immortals, Buddhas, gods, and demons merely followed the example set above.
“Tathagata.”
“This Venerable has already won you the best duel rule.”
“You should hold the heart of one treading on thin ice, and do the deeds of the brave and advancing.”
“The advantage is yours. If you still cannot win.”
“Then there is no need to come back and see This Venerable.”
“Simply atone with your death!”
Lin Qi spoke lightly. After the Buddha Ancestor Tathagata repeatedly confirmed that the contents of the Heavenly Dao Edict were not false lies.
Only then did he pick up the seal Yuyao had brought.
He activated it with the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasured Art, and signed and sealed the Heavenly Dao Golden Edict.
In the next instant.
The Heavenly Dao Golden Edict blazed with light. Visible radiance illuminated the entire Cosmos.
Laws trembled, the Great Dao resonated.
The will of the Heavenly Dao pulled at him.
The Buddha Ancestor Tathagata hesitated briefly, then no longer resisted, allowing the Heavenly Dao to pull him toward Reincarnation.
Within the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, the Demon Buddha, the Stone Monkey, and a completely bewildered Lin Feng.
Also followed immediately after, pulled by the Heavenly Dao, falling into Reincarnation, heading toward the mortal world.
