Chapter 1003: Opportunity

Sure enough, the direction of the battle completely confirmed Formless Bodhisattva’s previous judgment.

After a prolonged stalemate, Celestial River True Master completely understood all the divine techniques of Chonglou, and the Water Virtue brilliance that had been dormant around him suddenly surged billions of miles, majestically covering the entire ancient divine demon battlefield.

Ang~~

An ancient dragon’s roar accompanied by the clear sound of springs resounded through the nine heavens, and the skies and clouds instantly changed color.

Torrential rain engulfed in bone-chilling cold swept across the scene, and the bright daylight was instantly swallowed by thick darkness, cutting off all paths for sunlight to fall.

The endless crimson Celestial Fire met the torrents and was instantly extinguished completely, all dissolved into fine rain mist, slowly falling to the ground.

In the spectator seats, the Profound Sect True Masters instantly became much more spirited, each with relaxed brows, unable to suppress the joy in their hearts, and lowly conversing:

“It’s done! Celestial River True Master has completely stabilized the situation!”

“After all, the gap in realm is evident, how can tier three divine techniques compete with Four Methods Perfection? This Buddhist Bodhisattva is going to lose!”

In the battlefield, the firelight of the Golden Bridge spanning the void quickly dimmed, and cracks spread across the bridge.

The protective Buddha light around Chonglou was continually eroded by the cold water vapor, and his three innate divine techniques operated increasingly sluggishly, their momentum completely exhausted.

The profound Dao of the Four Laws True Master pressed down like an ocean.

Chonglou stood on the tottering Golden Bridge, with torrents blocking the path ahead and no retreat behind, falling completely into an absolute disadvantage.

The mountains are exhausted and the waters run dry, surrounded by enemies, an immense pressure!!

Time quietly passed.

Chonglou persevered bitterly, his mind becoming increasingly clear, and he suddenly lifted his gaze:

“I felt it!!”

“The moment of victory!!”

Crack—

A crisp, subtle sound of cracking came from deep within his Dantian.

A relic split open in response, undergoing nirvana rebirth in the face of despair!

Chonglou, his eyes bursting with golden light, his Dao heart instantly transparent and perfect.

Extreme pressure, forcing a breakthrough!

Enlightenment in battle, transcendence in despair!

The origin of the old relic was completely dispersed, and a brand new divine technique emerged in response.

A strand of primeval morning light fire, able to suppress all torrents across the nine heavens and four seas, slowly rose from the crown of his head.

It is the first ray of sunlight since the creation of heaven and earth, carrying the vitality of never-ending life, holding the divine power to burn all laws, illuminating the ages.

The fourth innate divine technique thunderously appeared!

Chonglou looked down at the golden morning sun fire seed dancing in his palm and spoke faintly:

“This divine technique is called—Futian Sun.”

The entire scene fell into deathly silence, then erupted into a colossal uproar.

“A breakthrough in battle! How can such a person truly exist?”

“What a terrifying divine phenomenon!”

“Only appearing for a moment, it completely reversed to suppress the boundless water Dao of Celestial River True Master!”

Within the battlefield, the last trace of composure disappeared from Celestial River True Master’s face, as a colossal wave surged within his heart:

“Breaking limits in battle, relic nirvana birthing the fourth divine technique… is Spirit Mountain going to give birth to another True Buddha holding a Golden Position?”

The next moment, he personally witnessed the brilliance behind Chonglou’s head growing mightily, with a complete, newborn sun suspended high in the void.

Countless dense and ancient Fangri Star Constellation symbols flowed down like golden torrents, densely attaching to each water Dao technique chain around him.

Celestial River True Master was left with a single thought: The great momentum is gone, unable to restore!

Moments later, the endless vast waters were burned completely by the Futian Sun True Fire, and Celestial River True Master’s body turned to ashes, leaving only a pure True Spirit carrying the brilliance of four divine techniques, quietly floating in the void.

Purple Mansion cultivators’ bodies are merely external shells and objects, as long as the True Spirit and divine technique origin are not extinguished, the Dharma Body can be instantly reassembled.

Water clouds surging and gathering, Celestial River True Master’s new Dharma Body quickly formed, he gazed at Chonglou, whose Buddha light was strong and flawless, filled with bitterness, bowed his head in resignation and acknowledged his defeat:

“I, a poor Daoist, have lost. Technically inferior, I willingly accept defeat.”

“Thank you for letting me win, Dao friend.”

Chonglou nodded calmly in return, the agitated Buddha light born from breakthrough in despair quickly subsided, reverting to its gentle and subtle form.

His gaze slowly swept across the crowd of disappointed Profound Sect great powers, his clear Buddha voice echoed through every corner of Tai’e Mountain:

“Is there any other Profound Sect Dao friend present willing to step forward and teach me a thing or two?”

The gathered Profound Sect Great True Masters looked at each other, each showing dread, lowering their heads in silence, and none dared to step forward and accept the challenge.

Even Celestial River True Master, who had Four Methods Perfection and profound Dao, met with a miserable defeat, stepping forward could only bring humiliation and become the subject of ridicule.

The dust of this battle settled, as the Buddhist Sect achieved great victory.

The discussions and exclamations of the four realms stirred continually:

“Enlightenment in despair, breaking the realm, the relic’s nirvana birthing the fourth Great Divine Technique, such talent is eternally rare!”

“One day they will surely become a Buddha, mastering a Golden Position!”

…

Above the Void Sun Golden Position, within the Immortal Mansion.

Chen Sheng’s brow glowed with the cause-and-effect Guiding Treasure Banner, piercing through all worldly falsehood and disguise, and took in every detail of the magical combat, every hidden secret within Chonglou’s body.

The world only saw Chonglou’s exceptional talent, his breakthrough in despair, and the dazzling emergence of his fourth innate divine technique.

Chen Sheng, however, saw through the glaring Buddha light to glimpse the deepest secrets:

Within Chonglou’s newly born divine technique origin, there was a trace of the nearly undetectable “Ji Shui” will, silently nourishing this new divine technique.

And using this as a medium, affecting the other three divine techniques!!

It is also the reason he could conquer water with the sun, breaking the balance of the Star Constellation!

Chen Sheng’s gaze was indifferent as he looked down upon the vast mortal land, his thoughts calmly unfurling:

“All beings cultivating, each has the heart to ascend and seize the position.”

“The path of coexisting power is shattered, switching paths to strive for position is the destined outcome.”

“I have seen the whole picture, Spirit Mountain Two Buddhas have long secretly allied with the Profound Sect, plotting power exchanges, leveraging their layout.”

“Initially, I predicted they would at most abandon the ‘Star Sun’ authority.”

Chen Sheng slightly raised his eyebrows, a trace of surprise passing through his heart:

“I didn’t expect that the old monks would be willing to split their own power, aren’t they afraid of inviting wolves into their home in the future?”

He gently shook his head, no longer delving into the calculation and loss, his eyes flickered with a glimmer of strategic planning.

“Well, their layout is clear, it should be my turn to make a move.”

Immediately he activated his own Void Sun Golden Position authority, coordinating with the Guiding Treasure Banner at his brow, condensing an imperceptible thread of cause-and-effect opportunity, silently vanishing into the great void.

He lightly set the trajectory of fate:

“Following the thread of cause-and-effect, thirty-three days later, this opportunity will naturally fall into Chonglou’s hands.”

With that, Chen Sheng slowly closed his eyes, as the mantis stalks the cicada, the yellowbird follows behind.

“Ji Shui Primordial Monarch intends to use Chonglou’s body to seize the ‘Fangri’ Golden Position, I had also set my sights on the ‘Ji Shui’ Position!!”

True Monarchs are immortal, as long as they do not leak flaws, they are exceedingly difficult to fall!!

Among the True Monarchs, ‘Ji Shui Primordial Monarch’ is first-rate, logically not an easy opponent to plot against.

But it so happens she wants to seize the second Golden Position!! This is the greatest opportunity!!
