Chen Xiaobei relayed everything that had happened earlier, everything about Demonic Fox.
The Prime of Tongtian gasped, “Who would’ve thought that you and the reincarnated Daji would meet that way…”
“Sifu, you didn’t see it coming, did you? But you are the Holy Saint!” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed.
Holy Saints were the highest of the highest in the three realms. They were also known as omniscient. There was nothing they could not foresee.
The Prime of Tongtian shook his head and said, “First, the Ancestral Daoist is above the Holy Saints! If the Heavenly Sign does not show, there is no way for me to foresee the future. Second, Daji is Lady Nuwo; little Shimei. It’s not appropriate for me to look into her life!”
“Lady Nuwo? Are you saying that in order for Little Fox to live, I have to approach her?’
“That’s right.” The Prime of Tongtian nodded. “The calamity is just around the corner. All the seven Holy Saints that are under the Ancestral Daoist have come up with something to deal with the calamity. If I intervene it, I’m afraid I will disrupt Shimei Nuwo’s plan! And the butterfly effect could be catastrophic!”
“Okay, I understand. I will contact Lady Nuwo now. I will ask her to teach me what to do. By doing that, I can prevent myself from spoiling her plan!”
“Xiaobei, don’t be hasty! You won’t be able to contact her now. She is also in the Void Land, looking for the end of it. It will be some time before she returns.”
“How long will I have to wait? Little Fox’s can’t be left like that!”
“That’s not a problem. Go look for Duobao Rulai, ask him for a Pure Puti and put it on the body of the reincarnated Daji so that her flesh will not rot even for tens of thousands of years.”
“Dubao Rulai? Buddha? I have never even met him before. Will he give me the Pure Puti?”
“Of course. You will have to call him your elder Shixiong if this matter happens before the League of God War.” said the Prime of Tongtian, a thoughtful expression on his face.
“Elder Shixiong? Why is that? Our Jieism can be considered as Daoism and Buddha belongs to Buddhism! He has nothing to do with us…”
“Ah, since we’re on this topic, let me tell you about this elder Shixiong of yours. Duobao Rulai was the first of my four disciples, called Duobao Daoren! After Pangu separated heaven and earth, he was given thousands of Divine Items at Mount Treasure! After that, he chose to come to our sect and wanted to become my disciple! He was the very first disciple that I had! At the later phase of the war, I wanted to form a Godslaying Formation at the Jie Pai Gate! I then asked Duobao to bring the four Godslaying Swords and the blueprint to step up the formation. Not too long after that, the Primordial Lord of Heaven went and looked for Tai, Zhunti, and Jieyin. All four of them work together to attack the Godslaying Formation! And Lord Laotzu took the opportunity to kidnap Duobao and was forced to serve in the Xuandu Purple Palace! He even made him become his disciple!”
When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he grumbled, “This old man is a degenerate! How could he take away my Sifu’s elder Shixiong and make him his own disciple?!”
“It’s not like that, Lord Laotzu is actually a good man! It was near the end of the war when it happened… The moment the four saints destroyed my formation, I already lost in the war. It was true that I have hundreds and thousands of deities to come and worshipped me but most of them were killed during the war. Those that survive were listed on the League of God Leaderboard—becoming the deities that were controlled by heaven! Lord Laotzu actually saved Duobao’s life by bringing him away. With that being said, he had just dodged the fate of being controlled by heaven! The reason why I said Lord Laotzu is a good man is because he didn’t cause more harm to me when I was losing in the war. Let me put it this way. He will not side with anyone and offend anyone no matter what! This is the Lord Laotzu that I know!”
“People like Lord Laotzu will never allow anyone to corner him any situation, right? Because he will always prepare an exit for himself!”
“That’s right! Not only that, he is actually very good at coming out with an alternate plan! After the League of God War, Lord Laotzu predicted that Western Sect would prosper. So, he brought left the Hangu Pass and he became the Buddha Hua Huwei. That marked the start of his partnership with Western Sect! After that, Duobao was reborn into a world called Sahā lokadhātu. Not too long after, he called the Amitābha that lived in West Paradise as his Sifu. They are now focusing on cleansing the sins of mortal beings! I can tell you that they have at least billions of worshippers!”
“You are right! I’m not too sure about other places! On earth, Buddhism is one of the largest religion! He will not be taken advantage of even if Buddhism turns into the key player during the calamity!”
“That’s right! Lord Laotzu will never allow him to be taken advantage of! Of course, he will still never be able to take over Primordial Lord of Heaven’s position to rule the heaven!”
“A good man like him that doesn’t like to take risk will never become the ruler of heaven!”
It was just like the principle that he had in him. Exercising forbearance would never help him to solve any problem! During the critical moment, his strength and fists were the key factors that helped him to open a brand new path!
“So, does that mean Buddhism will be one that rules heaven this time?”
“That, I don’t know either. Things are constantly changing. I will not be able to predict anything until the very last seconds of calamity! I believe that not even the Ancestral Daoist could predict the future now!”
Upon hearing that, Chen Xiaobei was deep in thought once again.
“But there is one thing I can tell you!” The Prime of Tongtian said, “After the war, Buddhism becomes really powerful! Duobao Rulai’s magical strength increased tremendously! He was powerful enough to defeat the Underworld Overlord and Monkey King! He was given the title, Holy Saint’s Champion!”
Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up.
“I have never expected that my ex-elder Shixiong is so powerful! But, why are you telling me this?”
“Everything is related to each other! With your intelligence, I believe that you can figure out what am I trying to tell you!”
“Huh?” Chen Xiaobei thought for a while then exclaimed. “I understand now! You want me to learn from Lord Laotzu and make Buddhism my ally!”
“Shhh!” The Prime of Tongtian gestured for Chen Xiaobei to stop talking.
“It’s good that you know what to do! Don’t tell anyone about it!”
