Chapter 785: Chapter 230: Why Do You Have the Aura of the Great Dao on You? (Please Subscribe)_2

Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, joining forces, left the Great Tang Emperor feeling utterly powerless.

At this time, if that unknown entity, Cheng Guang, were to join them.

The Great Tang Emperor could only feel that he didn’t stand a chance of winning at all.

Painful.

Anguished.

A myriad of complicated emotions surged into the heart of the Great Tang Emperor, leaving him speechless for a moment.

...

Within his heart, an intense struggle began.

If at this time, he were to submit directly to Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha, or rather, to their master.

Then he could stay alive, and there might still be hope for the Great Tang.

But…

If he didn’t submit, it would be a dead end; he surely wouldn’t be able to see the sun the next day.

These two options, for ordinary people, could be chosen easily.

Either the first, to die for their pride.

Or the second, to live for their ideals.

But.

For the Great Tang Emperor, neither choice was easy.

His personality was inherently dual in nature; at this time, it was like the two ends of a balance scale, with each side being extremely vital.

He couldn’t make a decision lightly.

As the Great Tang Emperor began to contemplate painfully.

Cleansing Thought Buddha suddenly gripped the Emperor’s throat tighter, clenching it firmly in his hand.

His dark and eerie eyes, tinged with a touch of sorrow, stared at the Great Tang Emperor.

“You lied to the Buddha.”

“The Qi of the Heavenly Dao in you, cannot deceive the Buddha.”

With that, Cleansing Thought Buddha tightened his grip on the Emperor’s throat even further.

Cheng Guang, observing Cleansing Thought Buddha’s action, could not help but feel a chill run down his own spine.

It was only because of the Great Tang Emperor’s sturdy physique that he was still resisting; should anyone else, perhaps even Cheng Guang himself, be in this situation, they would definitely not survive under Cleansing Thought Buddha’s assault.

Cheng Guang shook his head, “Let’s stop for a moment.”

“I think he truly doesn’t know.”

Based on Cheng Guang’s understanding of the Great Tang Emperor, if he truly knew, he would definitely speak up.

Given the current situation.

There was no need for the Great Tang Emperor to lie to himself any longer.

Unless he truly desired death.

Yet.

If the Great Tang Emperor truly wished for death, his behavior wouldn’t be as it was now, nor would he still be alive.

He would have already severed his vital channels and died.

That is to say, the Great Tang Emperor did not wish to die.

Indeed.

After all, the Great Tang Emperor had been scheming for countless years, waiting for equally many years, and now the time had finally come for the Heavenly Dao to restart.

Now the time had finally arrived for the reestablishment of the Great Tang’s glory.

Yet before he could act, he was already at the brink of extinction.

To perish before achieving glory.

This kind of anguish was not what the Great Tang Emperor wished to endure.

With these thoughts, Cheng Guang approached the Great Tang Emperor slowly and let Cleansing Thought Buddha release him.

He placed a hand on the Emperor.

Feeling that stream of Heavenly Dao Qi within the Great Tang Emperor.

Both Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha had said that there was the scent of Heavenly Dao Qi on the Great Tang Emperor.

That meant they couldn’t be deceiving him.

Although Cheng Guang himself did not know what the Qi of the Heavenly Dao truly was.

But.

Seeing how solemnly Guangyin Buddha, Cleansing Thought Buddha, and the Great Tang Emperor treated it, he didn’t need to think twice; it must be something extremely important.

Perhaps…

This Qi of the Heavenly Dao may potentially relate to future advancements in Cultivation Realm.

The connection between the Qi of the Heavenly Dao and the Fate of the Heavenly Dao could also be significant…

These elements were certain to be of tremendous assistance to cultivation, otherwise, the Western Buddhas and Celestial Gods would not fight to the death over the Fate of the Heavenly Dao.

Cheng Guang thought of this and reached his hand into the body of the Great Tang Emperor.

The Qi surged in, like a stone sinking into the ocean.

Even though the Great Tang Emperor had barely any strength left to resist, he could not be probed by Cheng Guang, a Sky-Man, solely based on instinct.

Cheng Guang slightly regretted and clicked his tongue, withdrawing his hand completely.

“If you can feel the presence of the Fate of the Heavenly Dao within his body, can you pull it out?”

Cheng Guang’s gaze fell on Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha standing to one side.

Upon hearing Cheng Guang’s words, Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha exchanged an embarrassed look, then shook their heads.

“Master, although we have sensed the aroma of the Heavenly Dao’s Qi on this Great Tang Emperor, we are indeed unable to strip it away.”

“Fate of the Heavenly Dao and destiny, attempting to strip them away or transfer them, are incredibly difficult.”

“Each segment of destiny must rely on long-term scheming to be obtained.”

“Just like the previous pilgrimage planned by the immortals and deities of the east and west…”

Speaking up to this point, Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha’s gaze returned to the Great Tang Emperor.

That year’s pilgrimage was a scheme by the Immortal Buddhas of the east and west, using the world as a chessboard, and all beings as chess pieces, to plot for the fate of the world.

The Great Tang Emperor was also a piece in that chess game.

Guangyin Buddha and Cleansing Thought Buddha had just pointed this out.

Upon hearing these words, the Great Tang Emperor’s face remained serenely impassive, not overly shocked. He had long understood the true faces of the high and mighty Immortal Buddhas.

Originally, it was his Great Tang that had, for the sake of all beings, for the common people, requested Master Xuanzang to journey to the west for the scriptures, yet due to the Immortal Deities and Buddhas, it turned into a move driven by self-interests.

One could not help but see the irony in this.

Even more ironically,

After the Celestial Gods and Western Buddhas schemed for fate and divvied up the fortune from the pilgrimage, the world dramatically changed, issues arose in cultivation, and even the Heavenly Dao developed rifts.

The fate they had turned to their advantage not only failed to serve much purpose but became the greatest poison.

Just thinking about this, the Great Tang Emperor felt a desire to laugh.

“Heh…”

“Don’t waste your efforts. Even if there truly is the Heavenly Dao’s Qi within me, it is not something you can strip from me, let alone…”

The Great Tang Emperor hadn’t finished speaking.

The hand that Cleansing Thought Buddha had around the Great Tang Emperor’s throat tightened again.

Causing the words the Great Tang Emperor was about to say to become lodged in his throat.

A flush of pain swept over the Great Tang Emperor’s face, and then, with difficulty, he spoke again, “Let alone…”

“There is no Heavenly Dao’s destiny within me.”

“The Heavenly Dao is just beginning to restart, and the distribution of its fate, the methods, if any plotting is involved, none of you know, so how could I know??”

The Great Tang Emperor’s words came out.

Cleansing Thought Buddha furrowed his brow.

“Master, this Great Tang Emperor talks too much; should we break his throat?”

Cheng Guang shook his head, “There’s no need.”

The Great Tang Emperor’s words had cleared up some of Cheng Guang’s confusion.

Cheng Guang pondered for a moment before asking, “What exactly is the purpose of the Heavenly Dao’s destiny?”

Cheng Guang had known before that both the Celestial Gods and the Western Buddhas were plotting for the Fate of the Heavenly Dao.

The destiny of the future Heavenly Dao would fall upon the mortal kingdoms.

Therefore, both the Celestial Gods and the Western Buddhas joined forces, taking control of nearly all the kingdoms in the Four Directions Mortal World.

As for…

Why the Great Tang Emperor carried the aroma of the Heavenly Dao’s Qi…

It was very possible that the Great Tang Emperor had already gained recognition from the Heavenly Dao as the sovereign of this generation’s kingdom.

But this generation’s sovereign was not entirely so.

In addition, the Heavenly Dao was not completely restarted yet.

Thus, the Great Tang Emperor only had a trace of the Heavenly Dao’s Qi, not enough to be astonishing.

Seeing Cheng Guang’s confusion, Guangyin Buddha promptly responded respectfully to clarify.

“Master, destiny serves many purposes, mainly to enhance cultivation and enlightenment.”

“Some might achieve enlightenment overnight due to their inherently strong fate.”

“The Heavenly Dao’s Fate can also be referred to as the virtue of the Heavenly Dao; essentially, they are one and the same.”

With such words from Guangyin Buddha, Cheng Guang roughly understood.

What destiny could achieve,

The most significant aspect was still the enhancement of cultivation.
